Hey!
I posted this on my site before I started to switch servers and my site will be down until tomorrow (July 7th) probably. Until everything is switched but here is the news story. I just found it interesting.

Upon BigBrotherNation.com finding the pages that contain Big Brother Fantasy leauge information.

Under the "Points Scored In Each Event" we found "Veto Challenge".

If your not american and do not know what Veto is here is the definition "The vested power or constitutional right of one branch or department of government to refuse approval of measures proposed by another department, especially the power of a chief executive to reject a bill passed by the legislature and thus prevent or delay its enactment into law. "

With this being revealed. It looks like an Arnold Shapiro secret might of been revealed early.

This seems to be along the lines of HOH Challenge but they didn't change the name of HOH because it is in the same pull down menu as the Veto Challenge.

Some suggest that this Veto Challenge could be used sometimes to override nominations and let the Veto winner evict a houseguest. This is just one of many theories that are expected to emerge soon.

The wait just got more exciting as we see if this "Veto Challenge" is a real part of Big Brother 3.

Very interesting twist . . . I can't wait for the show to start and see exactly what this will mean!! If one of the HOH nominee choices gets a veto, and the HOH is forced to name an alternate this could make for great alliance busting.

this could be interesting....especially if they make it like "Winner can either be HOH or get veto, 2nd place gets other power." Or it could be that Veto person can pick a person not to vote in the eviction, but that would mean 4 non-voters (2 up for eviction, vetoed person, and HOH)...maybe the HOH will be able to vote in non-tie situations this year.Well probably find out Wednesday...

This is gonna be like that Survivor Deadpool scoring thing I never understood, isn't it?

Does any of this veto thing involve math? If so I am doomed.

Perk up Car . . . CBS has to program to the general public, so I doubt if it will be too complicated :)

How about: the HOH will name two noms as usual. These two would be ineligible to take part in the Veto Challenge. The winner of the Challenge would have the option of replacing one of the HOH's nominees, or not. A day or two would elapse prior to the Challenge winner announcing his/her choice and we would watch gleefully as the two nominees tried anything to convince the Challenge winner to veto their nomination.

Thanks Jesse. Usually Weiner has to explain the math stuff to me!

Sounds a bit like giving away immunity- as in...will it ever actually be used?

It is already July 8, 2002 and on CBS there is no fantasy league for BB3. Where can I get it or is it going to be on there soon. I JUST CAN'T STAND THE WAIT ANY LONGER.

I wonder if they will allow them to trade HOH or Veto Power with other houseguests. That could be interesting.

Maybe they will go back to the old way of nominating...in the diary room each HG chooses two people to be up for eviction then if the HOH wants to veto one of those or both and replace them they have the option. Just another guess but nothing else todo but speculate since they are keeping live feeds from us for now.

I liked it when they all nominated rather than allowing HOH to make the decision alone.

"On a side note it looks like CBS has removed the Veto Challenge from the main Big Brother Fantasy control panel. We will now have to wait and see if Veto Challenge is really a part of Big Brother 3."

This was a note on the bigbrothernation website's link to the CBS game...

Either that, or he was making it up and got busted?

SPOILER HERE!!!!!

The veto challenge was announced to the houseguests. Tomorrow (Sat.) there will be a competition, the person who wins has the opportunity to change the nominations on Monday or keep it the same. If the person chooses to change it then the HOH has to renominate someone.

I think this is way cool. Josh is so freaking out and starting to sweat already.

This could change it all. Marcellas may have a chance.

Marcellas was acting like they had just decided to throw this wrinkle at them and its obviously been in the plans for BB3 for awhile now.

Oh, *please* let Marcellas win it. Or maybe Amy. It'd be entertaining to see someone more deserving get the boot the first round. :)

One thing that has been said is you can't veto your own nomination. If Marcellas wins he can only veto Lori's nomination in hopes he will be up against someone who will get evicted over him. This forces the two nominees to try to befriend the other houseguests in hopes they will save them from their nomination.

But if the winner wants to change the nominations, are they taking a risk that they might be nominated?

If the winner isn't a nominated person, then I doubt anything will change.
