Ocean_Islands | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 01:27 pm     Danielle reads from the handbook: We reserve the right to determine the process how the houseguests will vote for the winner. Producers reserve the right to amend the eviction process at any time. |
Itsallgood | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 03:40 pm     Yep...there won't be any canceling of votes this year. They talked about that sometime yesterday. |
Jan | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 03:42 pm     Lisa told Dani she thinks they might be made to vote in groups????? (ie have to convince each person in a group and vote one vote for the group...no idea how many groups). Whereever did she get that idea??? |
Bmh | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 03:56 pm     lol Jan..it is Lisa we are talking about here..she comes up with weird ideas...but I could be totally wrong..and they are voting in groups! |
Lilkimishot | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 03:59 pm     I'm not sure if I'm reading to much into the meaning of the word but Julie Chen said (on Sat. show) the voters will "deliberate". Is it just me or does the word deliberate apply to groups? |
Oregonfire | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 03:59 pm     I could see it being a "Twelve Angry Men" jury, where they battle it out amongst themselves to come up with the winner. Don't really see the point of that though. I guess more accurately it would be a "Ten Angry People Who Feel Cheated Out of a Half Mil" jury. |
Myboys | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 04:08 pm     Wouldn't it be funny if the former houseguests were moved back in to the house for the final two days and then had to vote live on Wednesday! It would make for an interesting time watching them all interact, and watching Lisa and Dani try and get their votes. Just a thought. |
Chiparock | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 04:09 pm     Wow, Oregonfire! That's a startlingly great idea! After all, the evicted HG's have become the jury, so why not have them vote like a jury votes and come up with a unanimous "verdict" as to who wins the big bucks??!! Their deliberations would make outstanding TV viewing. And if the jury is (ahem!) hung, then split the entire amount between the two finalists ....  |
Wiseolowl | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 04:13 pm     It would seem though that each will cast a separate vote - otherwise why have people phone in - in the case of a tie? |
Keiffer | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 04:15 pm     Could never get a true jury verdict because Eric will never vote for Danny over Lisa, and Jason would never vote for Lisa instead of Danny. I am pretty sure that would happen just about every year. No, they may be allowed to deliberate... or talk to each other about the two, but in the end they have to just make votes like they did last year. That way there can be a tie, and CBS can make a few more bucks from 900 numbers to break a tie. |
Oregonfire | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 04:17 pm     That's true, Chiparock. The deliberation would make for interesting viewing. They'd have to give them a time limit--three hours or something--and show the audience highlights. Though I bet if they did it that way, it would be a three-hour Roddy filibuster. >snerk< |
Itsallgood | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 04:43 pm     Each evicted house guest gets to vote. No group voting. |
Grannygrunt | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 04:47 pm     Maybe each HG gets to say why they are voting for one of them. Like why Eric is voting for Lisa, or Jason voting for Dani. Then everyone gets to hear the reasoning behind their vote. And everyone knows what the others are thinking. Each one in turn gets 3 minutes to sway the other members of the jury. You never know, a good arguement by Roddy why Dani doens't deserve it and a good arguement by Jason as to why she does. And one for and one against Lisa. |
Car54 | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 04:50 pm     I think if they were going to do something dramatic, the last show would be more than an hour. Not really enough time to do much more than crucify them and then vote. |
Crispy | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 04:55 pm     Expect the Unexpected!!! Hang on to your keyboards!!!! Its going to be great!!! |
Katrina | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 05:00 pm     Chiparock, a "jury" decision could still be a majority rules decision. I don't think that all jury trials have to be unanimous in their verdicts. Criminal verdicts seem to require unanimity, but I'm not sure all civil verdicts do. I think that's why they can call it a jury on Survivor and BB and have the majority rules version of a verdict. No hung juries that way, as long as there is an odd number of jurors voting. |
Twiggyish | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 05:08 pm     Myboys, If HG's allowed back in for two days, Danielle would try to schmooze her way back in with them. Heck I wouldn't blame her for that one, but I think it'd be a little too late. |
Myboys | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 05:12 pm     I think it would be too late also, but it would be very funny to watch. |
C1mag | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 05:13 pm     Wouldn't it be cool to get an earful of the jury? who cares about the question round. I wanna here them talk amongst themselves. |
Wendo | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 05:15 pm     I have to say I would like them to do a deliberation for the mere fact that I'd love to see it on tv; at least highlights of it anyway. FUN! |
Momiee43 | Monday, September 23, 2002 - 06:50 pm     Something it up on the voting if you go to Fantasy League this is what you will see Before Lisa and Danielle battle it out for the $500,000 prize, the ten evicted HouseGuests will return to vote on the winner. If all your players have been kicked out and you think the Fantasy League is over for you, THINK AGAIN! 100 points has been awarded to your team for each of Final Two Houseguests that you have on your team. In time for the finale, the Fantasy league is giving EVERY player a chance to score big points and climb up the leader board! Here's how: Your roster has been wiped clean. All registered players have the opportunity to restock their rosters with 4 new players, this time selected from the EVICTED HouseGuests returning for the final vote. 100 points will be awarded to each HouseGuest on your squad who casts their final vote for the eventual winner of BIG BROTHER 3 -- a possible bonus of 400 points! In the finale, this will be the only way to score points, so make sure you pick your team accordingly! |
