John32070 | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 07:26 pm     So what's it going to be? Save Marcelles because he feels bad for him? Save Lori because he likes her and feels bad she was put in that position? Or just leave it be and feel guilty when one of them walks out? In a way I hope he saves Lori, but then I'm afraid if he does Tanya will get nominated, and well, I just like looking at her |
Niceguy | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 07:30 pm     If he saves Marcellas its not necessary that Lori goes. That is what I hope. It was interesting tonight seeing Lisa being a little resentful of the fact that her power has been diminished. She was really loving the buttkissing. |
Floresmama | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 07:32 pm     Ok John Tonya is not going any where. If Gerry saves Marcellas which I am praying he will do but I doubt will ever happen. Then the next nominee is Amy and she would be going bye bye on Thursday. This whole scenario of watching these people have such a strong hold on the outcome of this show is making me sick. I am a bigtime BB addict but I am not sure I could stand to watch this play all the way out. |
Catbowl | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 07:40 pm     Flores...I am feeling sick too. I can't really put my finger on it...but I am beginning to believe that all people who are beautiful are lying scheming shallow coniving and just to obsessed with their bodies. Their bodies are preventing them from getting to know what life is all about. What happens when they get older and a tad bit uglier? All the beauty in this house has turned me off of BB. I am glad I only have the 14 day free trial. I can cancel at that time. Shoot..maybe thats not it at all...maybe its just the feeds. ahhhh well.. |
Sanfranjoshfan | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 07:51 pm     "This whole scenario of watching these people have such a strong hold on the outcome of this show is making me sick." The plus side of that would be watching them have to turn on one another when there are only 6 left....At least five of those six (if they all make it to the final 6) will HAVE to be betrayed by their beautiful "friends"... |
Sunni | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 07:55 pm     I'm hoping Gerry does the right thing and nominate Josh. I also think the HG's are more aware of the banners so they keep changing who they openly say they will vote for. Amy says Marcellus, but when she is with him she says Lori. Could be they don't want they're strategies revealed by the banners. I'm starting to not like Lisa either and I think the alliance will split (again) if Marcellus is kept. |
Cameltoes | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 07:59 pm     I don't think he will do anything simply because even if Lisa did nom Josh, they don't have the votes to boot him. So changing things would only evict Amy or Lori instead of Marcellas. Plus, they need as many of them competing for HOH next week.. if Gerry can't compete that sucks for the non beautiful people. |
Realtvfan | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 08:02 pm     Gerry will probably work it out with Lisa. He will find out if Lisa has changed her mind and wants to nominate anyone else. My two cents is that in the end, this "twist" does not give enough power to the veto king to make the game that much more interesting. Before the introduction of the veto, HOH had to pick two to nominate. Now the HOH picks two to nominate with two additional alternatives, (just in case the veto power is excercised). The HOH does not have to tell anyone the names of the two alternatives, unless the veto power is used. That is not a such big deal. Back to Gerry. He may eventually figure out this scenerio and just be the person who gets to ask Lisa if she wants to change her mind. That's it, no more than that. Gerry will let the nomination ride. There is nothing in it for him to disrupt things now. |
Wilsonatmd | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 08:10 pm     Well, if Gerry does decide to use the veto to keep Marcellas, the key is who would be put up...If Lisa is really ticked off, or is smart, she might decide to pick off Josh...he has been really, really paranoid about it, and I think that might cause some of the group to turn on him....remember you only need 5 votes. Gerry and Marcellas would be 2 of them. If they can get Amy and Danielle, they only need one more vote to get rid of him, either get Jason to vote for Josh or one of the group of 6 turn on him...that would create a power vacuum and mess everyones' plans up... |
Hippyt | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 08:11 pm     I agree with Real,I think it would be smartest of him to let it go. And,He's smart enough to figure that out. |
Labpuppy | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 08:14 pm     I think if they wanted to change the rules, a better alternative would have been to make the nominated person who does not leave the HofH for the next week. It seems like this would have made nominations much more strategic. |
Ketchuplover | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 08:22 pm     Good thinking there labpuppy |
Cameltoes | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 08:27 pm     Yes the veto thing is definitely overrated simply because the HOH still renominates. Now, if the veto winner had nomination power that would be a little more interesting. |
Maris | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 08:31 pm     yes and I think Gerry will leave things the way they are. He will not put a bullseye on his back. |
Realtvfan | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 08:32 pm     Labpuppy, that would be excellent. If they had instituted tha veto power and made the surviving HG from the previous week's nomination an automatic HOH for the next week, then the BB game would get tougher than that chess board in front of them. Automatic HOH for the surviving member would make every eviction vote a shutout. No one would want to be figured out as being a person who voted against the next week's HOH. That had to be one of the alternatives Arnold and company considered when designing this year's game. I wonder why they did not implement it. |
Yankee_In_Ca | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 09:08 pm     I also think it's stupid that the veto winner doesn't HAVE to veto a nomination -- the winner should HAVE TO. Otherwise, the veto winner will probably NEVER veto anyone off, so they don't incur the wrath of the HOH and other "strategists." |
Lilsandi | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 09:20 pm     I would like to see Gerry rock the boat and veto Marcellas nom. and have Josh put in the hot seat. He may have a melt down over it. It would be Great to see him go first. |
Gouraphik | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 09:31 pm     If Gerry uses the veto power, that doesn't automatically make him a target. The circumstances in the house are shifting constantly, so he could easily wait for the next "big issue" to come up and evade getting targeted. I feel that the power of "The Six" has been significantly diminished by this point. It never was really "tight" (a la Chilltown) in the first place. For Gerry's purposes, it's probably better to disturb the present order and use the changing circumstances to better himself. For example, if Marcellas was saved and Josh was put in his place, the resulting paranoia and insecurity that Josh would feel (making him even more annoying) would likely guarantee his demise. But then again, you never know in this game. |
Ladytex | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 09:31 pm     yes, I think the veto holder should have been able to pick the replacement ... that would have made the game that much more interesting |
Tatyana | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 09:35 pm     My feeling is the veto vote will never be used, just like the new rule in Survivor this past year where the necklace could be given to someone else at bonfire, it never was given. This twist will turn out to be a bust. No one has the guts to use it. |
Maris | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 09:37 pm     There is nothing that says CBS cant change the rule and add a twist a week to the veto vote. Who knows maybe next week, the veto vote will come with the power to nominate the replacement. They might just keep changing the rules every week just to keep them on their toes. |
Gouraphik | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 09:40 pm     No, that's not a fair comparison. The Survivor 4 rule was ridiculous, since it would be suicidal for anybody to use it. The Veto isn't like that. As I said before, it allows the user to disturb the order enough to better their situation. It's not as "last-minute" as the Survivor one, and I feel that it'll be used effectively by a wise and shrewd player. Whether Gerry is that player is another story. |
Pamy | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 09:47 pm     Maris..now that would be a great plan!!!!

Treasure | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 09:48 pm     My wish is that he'll save Marcellas, and that in turn, Lisa would nom Josh - but I don't think that'll happen, and even if Lisa did get up the guts to nom Josh - would they have enough votes to boot him? If not, he'd seek hella revenge for the rest of his time in the house. Sending good thoughts and wishes to the rest of the HG so they get a clue and figure Josh for the weasel he is, and act on booting him! |
Tabbyking | Saturday, July 13, 2002 - 09:52 pm     i think gerry is one of the only ones who would consider using his veto power and he probably will wuss out. too bad, because i really think people aren't liking josh like josh thinks they do. lori needs to lie low and quit freaking out and maybe people won't be so set on her going. oh, how do you like (those of you who think chiara is just an innocent having fun...) her comment to danielle on the live feeds about having a hard day at work, "do you know how hard it is to soap up Double D's" there is something seriously wrong with chiara! i am shocked that roddy likes her. |
