I'm thinking that there is a twist in the jury house. Perhaps they have been allowed to finally watch the feeds!

I sure would hope they let them watch the feeds, but I always hope something that will never be.

Anyway, for a Jury to have all the facts they should be able to see the going ons in the house until the very last minute.

Again, this is BB dictating what and how should be the Jury vote.

If I'm a Juror I would want to see all the facts before I can make a judgement. Not in BB world.
Ironic, because BB is Big Brother, you should be able to see it all... especially the Jury.

I think they're not showing the jury house simply because it has been found every other year and they don't want it to be found this year.

Personally, I think they are on Les Moonves' yacht. The one Julie talks about vacationing on ever year when she does her appearance on Letterman to promote BB. wheeee

And, no, I do not think they are watching the feeds. Once you're out, you're out.

Spunky if they were allowed to watch the feeds what would be the point of sequestering them at all.

I don't see why we have to see the jury house. I'm sure they are doing what they normally do in the jury house.

There is no point to allow them to watch all the feeds.

They never have been able to watch feeds so I don't know why change it now. As to where the house is...well, I don't care though I do miss seeing the reaction of some of the residents as new ones show up. Of course, this year it's not like they have sent one of the major combatants to the jury house to face the others. People driving around LA or Palm Springs or Mexico trying to find the jury house is kind of funny. For what? Just to say they know where it is? I have better things to do.....now back to football.

This has been discussed in the BB8 Jury House thread.

Kale,

the intent was 'sequestering' them from OUTSIDE influence. They have the right to see what is going on in the house as Jurors.
But BB never works as it should.

No, Spunky, they are sequestered from what goes on INSIDE the house once they have left.

The idea of seclusion from the outside world while you are part of the game is that it adds to the intensity of the game and eliminates any support system they have.

When they leave the house it doesn't matter if they have support from their family as they're not longer competing. What does matter is if they find out that Houseguest X, who they thought was their BFF and who they were absolutely going to vote for to win, was actually using them and hates them. That spoils the whole integrity of the game.

Kitt,

I know that this type of BB will not give the Jurors the opportunity to see the whole truth nothing but the truth and the last ones entering the house will tell their own versions of the fact, thus rendering the Juror's views even more skewed.

Nothing would spoil the integrity of the game more than this 'blind' jury.

The jurers have the option to look at what the evicted houseguests say and judge how much is game and how much is truth. They did the same in the house when player X told them they'd heard player Y say such-and-such. The jurers are still presumably being shown the POV and HOH competitions and should be able to see from that a little how the interactions are going. Any info they receive from the evicted players they have to take with a pinch of salt, and if they don't they're doing so at their own risk.

Although I do believe the jury house are told they can't discuss the game except at the prearranged discussion sessions. I doubt they stick to that though.

Well, whatever is going on in the jury house is still going on... WE just aren't privy to it for some weird reason. I mean with 24/7 feeds from BB8 house, surely they could have found a few select clips from the jury house. And the absence is so obvious...made even more intriguing by a lack of explanation of why the format changed this year. It makes you wonder what they're trying to hide when they are tightlipped about it.

I love seeing them in the sequester house. What a waste if we don't see something soon.

I'm guessing Jen left, Amber flipped out, and E/J were in just too much shock and awe at loosing. Dustin is refusing to give up the robe and crown.

I just don't get why no coverage either. Why can't they shoot entirely from inside the house if they don't want people recognizing the outside? I wonder if it has to do with Amber, if they were possibly getting death threats for her.

I think it has something to do with Eric, and trying to keep his little secret from the other jurors. Maybe they keep them seperated from each other and there just isn't anything to show? I do hope we get to see them deliberate tho...

There must be a VERY good reason that they haven't shown any jury house. (hint hint)

I read a post on another site that the jury house will not be seen until the finale show. In additon, all media have been cut off. No more CBS Morning Show or House Calls interviews. Amber was the first evicted when it happened.

Really, this convo should be in the BB8 Jury House thread.
Janelle said she heard that weather caused the jurors to be sequestered in hotel rooms for some time and Jen had threatened to leave, but ultimately didn't.
It's possible that they only recently got cleared to go to the house.
I also think that there has been a number of times the BB Jury House has been found, and they tried hard to hide it better...but once again, hurricane season rained on their plans.
BB/CBS needs to find a house somewhere that is reasonably remote without it being in the middle of hurricane areas.
I'm sure there are some out there somewhere.

I just had a thought. Perhaps there is no real jury this year. Maybe they are all sequestered, apart and will come back for the finale when America votes. That would be very cool.

A great twist for this season would be if all the evicted houseguests were sequestered independently. The evicted houseguests would not have all that time to be influenced by the others.

Well, maybe not all the others but I could see Eric talking nonstop until he had everyone wanting to vote the way he desired. It also is a way for the producers to keep Eric from confessing his part as AP.

Didn't Janelle mention on House Calls that while she was in the house for her POV stint everyone was in a tizzy because Jen was packing to leave the Jury House or wherever she was staying? Maybe this is why there is no coverage. I don't think that Amber comes into play here. The comments she made were from ignorance and not from malice. Dick has said a lot worse things and he is loved by his fans. If they split up Jess and Eric to protect his American Player role it would be too suspicious. He could have told her at any time, why would he do it now? It is very mysterious, and more intriguing than what is going on in the house now!
