Four of the six houseguests that were evicted was a replacement nominee after the veto was won. I think I would rather be nominated and take my chance with the veto.

Yep, this year is the year of the backdooring... we had a long thread on this topic earlier, but it's bound to come up until the end of the season.

And weren't four of the six pawns? You never want to be a pawn in this game. Especially you do not want to be so arrogant that you beg to be put up as a pawn!

LOL Scooty, I told someone earlier today I think during this season, I'd be much more comfortable being an original nominee rather than a replacement one!

In this case, they are not "pawns"...they're "prawns". Just waiting to be eaten up.

Something like this? Carol & Amber (no pawn, no replacement) Dick & Danielle (replaced with Joe) = Joe goes home Kail & Jen (replaced with Mike) = Mike goes home Kail & Jen (replaced with Nick) = Nick goes home (both nominees were "pawns") Kail & Jen (replaced with Eric) = Kail goes home (pawn) Dick & Danielle (replaced with Dustin) = Dustin goes home (pawn)

Thanks Kona!! That's pretty much what I was thinking... replacement nominees are doomed in BB8! As are pawns! And if you are both, you can guarantee you'll meet Julie come Thursday!

Do you believe Jen is so naive to be happy with Daniele's answers: Jen: You're not putting me up? Dan: No Jen: What about later, after POV Dan: No Did she buy that?? I think she should get closer to Zach, Eric and Jessica and stop going to Daniele.

Which means... 14 people, 6 weeks, 11 have been nominated. The only ones not nominated have been Zach, Jameka, and Jessica. So far.

Do you know who decides to put the names in the bag for POV selection?? It seems to me that HOH has the freedom to leave players out of the comp and someone on the board here said that all names (except the nominees) have to be in the bag. Dani said she doesn't want Eric to play for POV, this means that she decides who to keep out. So every time they want to backdoor someone HOH makes sure their names is not in the bag. It happened with Eric, they wanted to backdoor him and he did not play POV, it happened with Jen last time when Jessica wanted to backdoor her if D/or D came off (before Dustin volunteered). So, if tomorrow Jen's name does not come up, something is fishy.

the HOH comes out of the diary room with the ball bag in hand. that leads me to believe that CBS puts the balls in the bag.

The HOH does not choose what balls to put in the bag, leaving a particular hg's ball out of the bag would be cheating. I doubt they would try it but I don't know what lengths BB would go to to make sure it's not sneakily done. Hopefully they come straight out of the DR with the balls and make the picks so messing with the balls isn't even possible.

But then why Daniele as HOH keeps saying, Jen cannot play for POV Eric cannot play for POV they really should show what's inside the bag after the selection. If I were Jen and left out I would demand to see if my name was in it. Eric had asked when he didn't play (they wouldn't let him see).

It's her wish, but not what will necessarily happen.

Well, I think she goes to the DR and tells them the players she wants for POV and they put the names in the bag. Until I see it tomorrow that Jen's name is there then I will forget about this conspiracy. (It bugs me because it has happened too often that the person to be backdoored is not picked).

I think it is random. I'm a bit surprised / suspicious though that they don't let everyone check the bag and verify that all of the names are in there.

Either they ALL know that the HOH pulls balls or they ALL know the HOH doesn't pull balls. Cause yeah, I'd be real suspicious. And I've never paid attention to the little bag during or after the third draw (to see/hear if there are additional balls in there). I can't believe the HOHs are allowed to pull balls outta the bag, though. That defeats the entire (presumed) purpose of the RANDOM DRAW. Then, the only thing that would be random would be who drew what ball. At any rate, I hope everyone's ball is in there, and Amber and Jameka do NOT win POV, and whoever wins POV does NOT use it, and Amber goes bye!

Even the HOH people have wondered and one, cannot remember which one, (Jen, I think) actually looked and said they were all there in the bag. As for saying something must happen, it is just like Amber saying I'm going to win HOH.. if she does, it was true, if not.. not true. I don't think Dani will have the opportunity to "fix" the mix any more than Jessica forced the drawing of Dustin by Dani.. she certainly didn't want Dustin to be playing.

Last year they did the ball thing up until the week that Chicken George and Kaysar had their hair buzzed off. I don't know how they did it after that and it was funny that no girls or bald headed Marcellus were involved in that competition..

What did I tell you??? What Daniele wants Daniele gets!!!! Jen left out of the comp. No one asked to see if her name was in the bag.. Too much of a coincidence! Okay Jen, let me see if you can wake up and smell the coffee... I guess only by getting her up on the block she can wake up..

If her ball wasn't in the bag, it'd be obvious when they drew balls. There should've been two balls left in the bag after the last nominee drew. If the bag was empty, do you not think both Jen and Eric would've said something?
