Actually Bonza, they are a couple weeks off, Eric counted it out for Dick and Jess last night. One goes on the 6th, leaving 5. One goes on the 13th, leaving 4. One on the 20th, leaving 3, then on the 27 for final 2. I know there has also been talk about in their contracts the finale date can be as late as sometimes around the end of the month (I forget the specific date.)

Oh and yep, I'm hoping no one becomes aware of the double eviction and they all have to work for an hour without strategizing.

Thanks, War. They were in the same situation (thinking the show would go on longer) last year and I remember BB waited quite a while to tell them the finale date.

I think I heard that the contract said they have to be available to the show up until Sept 30th. The reason it's the 18th is because CBS is starting Survivor on the 20th (after Kid Nation on the 19th), and then most of their other shows premiere the following week. They probably include HC interviews and such in there too (they've usually had a few House Calls eps after the show ended-and now with up to 7 people who are going to have to be interviewed who haven't yet, they'll need the time) Also it looks like they won't tell the HG's it's a double until an housr before the show like last year, which could complicate the deal D/D is supposed to be making to Jam...

I am rewatching last year's double eviction show, and yeah, they had to have been told sometime well before the show actually started that it was a double, because not a one of them seemed the slightest bit surprised or in any kind of stunned state.

I hope they don't tell them this year. Please, BB, don't tell them!

Janelle won, nominated Erika & George after brief meeting w/Will in exercise room, ohhhhh shoot!! i forgot that the producers gave them a chance to discuss it last year. that ruins all chance of something spontaneous happening. i often thought if janelle just had to do it fast she would ahve chosen others..maybe will or boog. instead they had time to work her. If that happens this year, we are getting hyped up for no reason.

I hope they don't tell them or give them even one clue! I also hope there won't be even one second for hoh to decide who to nom. Everytime BB does this, the nom aren't immediate and they have at least a couple of mins to strategize. I really want it to be on the spot, just end comp congrat winner and go back to liv rm. But even that won't work because they are aware of double eviction in past and will be on to it. So, they really should have to nom in back yard or whereever comp is announced. Maybe they could have a comp where only BB knows winner and it's announced in liv rm and nom must be immediate. Dream on...I know...

They'll clue into it pretty quick ... when the first vote is at the top of the hour, rather than its usual timeslot at around 30 minutes in, they will know something is afoot.

i doubt if the DR will keep its mouth shut. They will ask "leading questions" and then if the Hg figures it out they will be told to pretend they dont know. Look at the superb acting skills needed last POV comp! almost everyone was nicely tucked in bed pretending to be asleep for when Janelle came in.

They will also know because they will all be told to pack. And yes for POV- Dick was given warning that there would be a lockdown- he asked how long- and they told him approximately how long till the lock down was over.

nope, they arent asked to pack. usually it is complete surprise and the remaining HG pack for the person later.

I read somewhere that Julie announced that an hour before the live show, the HGs will be told that it is a double eviction night. Does anyone remember her saying this (probably on last Thursday's show)? I keep trying to imagine the scrambling in that hour for everyone to confer to all the people they need to before they go on the air. Please, someone with live feeds, we need a pre-show thread with running commentary like for the real show!

I don't see them telling the HG until after the first eviction.

Okay, this is also a good spot to post 2 possible scenarios: Okay, we've seen what happens if D/D win HOH (with Jessica gone), Jameka and Eric up, Zach wins POV (physical) and leaves nominations as they are. Eric or Jameka is gone. So let's see the other scenario, here we have D/D and Eric playing for HOH. It will be a Q&A comp and Eric is pretty good at it. Eric wins and nominates D/D. Veto competition being physical Zach wins removes one of the Donatos and Eric replaces with Jameka. Zach and one of the Donato vote both to evict Jameka. (Eric doesn't need to break the tie). So even with Eric winning HOH Jameka will be gone... only thanks to Zach. I don't think Eric could win over Zach to his side on time. Next HOH will be played on the weekend.

Here's a link to the episode in season 7 when they did this. It may not be exactly what CBS will do this year but it's a fun trip down memory lane. HOW A DOUBLE ELIMINATION ON BB WORKS http://www.dailymotion.com/timmyboi/video/xclxl_bb7-083106

They still didn't figure out there is a Double Eviction tonight??? Dick suspected the set up outside is for POV, how long before he realizes it's for the double eviction... Daniele surprised me the most with her rejection of the idea as presented to her by Zach... Unless she suspects as well but doesn't want the others to talk about it... dumb!

Spunky that is a great observation. If Zach was aware it was double eviction, he would be concerned about Jameka getting HOH and putting him up and then might try to convince Dick to vote out Jess instead.

Jameka can't play for HOH tonight. It's the last of the 5 she gave up in that veto competition. If Jessica is evicted, only Eric, Dani and Dick will play for HOH.

Kidsatm... Jameka will be still out of the HOH competition, it will be her 5th time out. She is still a sitting duck... On Sunday when the next HOH will be played then she can compete but I hope she'll be gone by then (second eviction tonight). I thought she would keep quiet so that the others J/E wouldn't hear of it... from Zach.

I was listening to Dani and Zach the other night and she was convinced as of Tuesday that there are 3 1/2 weeks left. She wouldn't take no for an answer. She was the "all knowing" and was positive that they have 3 1/2 weeks left, so I think a double eviction tonight is going to be a big surprise to her.

Sorry if this has been asked but last year when they did the double eviction did they surprise them at the last possible second? I'm having a senior moment.

Wavelength.. knowing BB it could be that they are given a hint in the DR... But Julie said they will know before the hour (tv show) end that two persons will be evicted.

I'd venture that that is true, Miso. No sign that what Julie assured us won't come true. I, personally, cannot wait!

You would think that BB would have made it a maximum of 4 HOH comps that a houseguest couldn't play in so they could compete when the double eviction came around. This really seems uneven to have only Dani/Dick/Eric competing. I'd love to see a wrench thrown in and BB say because it's a double eviction night, regular BB rules don't apply! *sigh* wishful thinking on my part I know
