Since the eviction is a "de facto" affair, why bother with a Live Vote. We all know she's gone on Thursday. Even the AP won't matter.

It's only going to take some precious air time if they have to cover all that Quiz Show trip with Daniele and Amber and will show very little of the Dick/Jen fight while they were gone.

They will try to show very little of Jen and the way everyone ganged up on her. She will be edited as if she deserved the boot and that's that.

And then the HOH comp, etc. Live vote this time is useless.

If, however, Jen was really AP, that could add to Thursday show, but I doubt.

Yeah, the veiwers will see Jen trashing the cigs and eating, but very little of Dick's tirade or his hiding her stuff. Lots of footage of the HG's saying she ruined the integrity of the house. What integrity? None of the others acceptance of his behavior during his tirade and none of him using the C word again and again on her will be shown.

Ambi,

they would be able to show a bit more of what really went on but the Live Vote will take precious time, especially when they will have to show Jen breaking the slop rule and explain the penalty vote. This is a first for BB and I'm sure they'll make a big deal of it. So the Live Vote is totally useless when BB already decided she's evicted with that extra eviction vote.

Where is the suspense in that? Bummer..

Yes, at this point, I'll probably just watch the last 10 minutes just to see Dick win the HOH.

omg, how will Julie handle it? She rarely, if ever, gets everything right during the live show even with cue cards. Throw her a curve? This should be interesting.

Well, I'm going to repeat what I said a few days ago. When both nominees are asked to give their "why should I stay" speech, Jen should stand up and say "Julie, I vote to evict myself," and then calmly walk out the door. She could get some satisfaction at preventing the others HGS from voting against her.

They could always hold the NYC trip to the Sunday show. Just give a quick thing saying they went and while they were gone...

Then say on Sunday, we'll show you the trip.

She should also say something to the affect of "I hope all of you and your families are feeling proud of yourselfs".

well most likely they're gonna show the trip next week (I don't think the Po10 episode will air tonight, I'm thinking before BB next Tuesday).

I'm just hoping they're fair with what happened, and that it's a civil eviction. I fear Jen will just get up and leave after the announcement; no one will say anything, no one will hug her, and she walks out the door alone.

and come to think of it WHY BOTHER WITH THE VOTE AT ALL!!! It's a penalty eviction, it's absurd to call that a vote.

I like that Doublethink, wow, the imagination you guys have is awesome!!!

Spunky - it would have the double satisfaction of seeing Julie Chen totally flummoxed - she wouldn't know what to do with all the extra time - lol.

Well, so glad someone else wants to talk "game" for a change.

I wonder if it's true that Jen could just stand up and evict herself bypassing the ridiculous live vote since it serves no purpose this time.

Oh, I think BB will show it. They love introducing that rock music when Dick is about to do something.

Carrie,

what about the air time taken up for a Live Vote which is meaningless this time?
They could use that time to portray the houseguests in a fair and just manner.

Spunky - what could they do to her ? The show is live. Of course, what they could do to her real life afterward might be a bit ugly. I have no idea what their contract says about evicting oneself - lol. It might fall under the DOR category and she wouldn't get a stipend.

Since there will there be zero suspense as to the outcome of the vote, there is no need to draw out the votes as they usually do. Julie's usual spiel about will this one or that one be evicted will certainly fall flat if they choose to follow that format.

I really feel sorry for Julie Chen this week. She has a difficult task ahead. I don't think the Jen exit interview will be fun. Jen has lame-brained defenses for her blatant breaking of the rules ready to go and I wonder if Jen will have the nerve to ask Julie for pots of money in exchange for giving up her wonderful life for six more weeks to sit in sequester (although she already signed a contract to that effect).

Should be awkward.

Doublethink,
they could have voted today and show a taped vote if they really wanted to show how they voted. But to have it LIVE is useless since there is no suspense at all knowing the extra penalty vote gets her out of the house.


It will be awkward when Jen will have to explain to Julie why she started eating (in retaliation of BB's lying to her about not allowing her to destroy cigs when she's positive they did allow it) costing her the extra eviction vote for eviction.

Spunky - that's what they should have done - yes it's going to be a very awkward episode. I haven't watched the last 3 TV episodes and don't intend to watch Thursdays either. I'll check in here briefly to see what you all have to say.

Right' o, Doublethink!!

I thought there would have been more interest in talking about this first in BB history but the disappointment of posters seems too high at the moment for any talk game and I understand that.

Maybe soon they'll start talk game again.
