Speaking of the HOH competition, what kind of HOH competition would favor Gerry winning, do you think? I mean, they have to mix it up every week, right? The second week's comp obviously favored Marcie and Amy. What kind of comp do you think favors other HGs? Do you think there's any way to "force" those who don't want to win HOH to get it anyway (i.e. Dani)? Just curious.

Well sometimes the HOH competitions are just ramdom and you might just get lucky..for instant remember that key sliding challenge last year..that was basically luck..so sometimes it's just up in the air..
Idk what kind of challenge Gerry could win..the challenge has to have to do with BB in someway and I dont think he excells in BB trivia more than anyone else in any area..
It's hard to say any other ideas?..I dont want Gerry to win HOH anyways..so I hope it doesn't favor him if he can be favored

I'm just interested after last week's debate over math favoring the men, Roddy's implied or actual cheating, the photo finish, etc. That's true, the key-sliding was pretty neutral--didn't Nicole win that?

I can't remember previous HOH comps from last year- what other sorts of competitions did they use? Maybe they ought to combine HOH with the food challenge (the half that do the best in the competition get food, the one who does the best gets HOH). That way everyone would try to do somewhat well in the game to avaiod a PB&J week.

ya Nicole won that challenge that was totally random..when you see a rather random HOH challenge then you know that Arnie doesn't have much of a problem with any of them winning..but when it does seem to be aimed more at some ppl Arnie is manipulating the challenge a little..alot of people are saying Arnie will try and make Gerry or Josh win..but do you think he would want the hg's breakin up the couples I mean the couples make good tv..especially the love/hate relationship of Kiki and Roddy..I have a feeling bc C/L/E are outnumbered Arnie will aim at them winning HOH

they were all mental/trivia/intelligence oriented untill they got down to about 6 hg's......the first physical HoH was the "shuffleboard" game Nicole won last year......based on the hunch it is a mental/trivia game tonight....I would say Eric/Josh?chiara have no chance as I would say these are the 3 least intelligent Housguests(least intelligent for quizzes,anyways)

I think the blindfold helped a little in the last one, because it kept them from seeing whether someone like Josh was ahead of them so they were more inclined to keep playing.

Gerry seems to get people to talk about their lives outside the house (at least when he does get to talk to them) so questions like that would probably help him, especially since the questions they ask are usually about the evicted HGs who all seemed to spend some early morning time with him.

Jason and Danielle seem to have a fair chance at just about anything involving the other HGs, since they've been paying close attention to everyone. They're also fairly athletic, so if it's a physical challenge they stand a fighting chance. I don't think they'll be trying to win this week though. I'm not sure what would favor Eric, Lisa, or Chiara, unless it involved athleticism or answering questions about sex. Marcellas is good at remembering visual details.

Josh didn't seem like he wanted to win last week, and he probably still doesn't.

I remember the one from last year when they had to hang out on the waterbed and Nicole a suffered banner-induced psychosis, compounded by someone pulling the blanket off of her forcing her to let go of whatever it was they were supposed to hang on to.

Other than that, I don't remember many either

I think a challenge having to do with things in the house (sort of like the one Marcellas won) would be easier for Gerry than one about the HGs themselves. Gerry isn't involved in a lot of conversations, so he doesn't know all the details. I suppose he's probably the expert on Lori, but that's about it. :) And honestly - Gerry *should* be good at knowing about the house by now. He gets up hours before everyone else, and has plenty of time to look around. If he's smart, he'd do just that.

The one challenge I hope they repeat from last season is the last two they did (or at least something similar). Some kind of endurance one (remember them peeing on the bed? :)), and then one like the one where evicted houseguests listed adjectives describing each of the final three, and the remaining houseguests had to guess who said it. I think both of those level the playing field, too.

I like the games of chance, everyone then is on even ground going in..luck not skill. I do understand bbs reasoning for wanting hg trivia though. These people should be getting to know things about each other and listening not just to those they like. I would personally like to see more interaction with each other outside the bedroom. They are living together for a purpose and it's not just spring break. This is a game of wits and strategy and you need information about the others to really deduce their ability to out play you.

Right- the bed one where Will...had to use the bathroom. Yuck. That was late enough in the game that they were all desperate to win it because at that point it was basically an immunity challenge to win HOH.

I don't think Josh will want to win because he is too busy playing both sides. If Jason or Dani win it would also expose them. But I do think they (AS) will want one of the noncouples to win. It's their turn to win (to keep the numbers of eash side in the house close).

Sure AS would want the couples nominated to create tension...good TV. Then one of the non-nominated couple people can get veto if it were Lisa/Chiara or Eric/Roddy nominated and they can use the veto to spare the person they are hooked up with. Oh, the drama it would create! Think of the guys being nominated and Chiara getting veto. If she saved Roddy, Lisa would be nominated and that move would be going against the girl alliance. If she didn't save him, and he ended up staying for some reason, I think he would hold it against her.

Okay, now that we've seen some clues as to what the HOH challenge might be like, I think it looks like Chiara has a slight advantage. She knows Roddy and Tonya *extremely* well. And she has been fixated on Amy for awhile (in a negative sort of way, obviously :)), so she might actually know quite a bit about her, too. Lori - well, not so much. But she should still do well.

I agree Muse..I can definitely see Chiara winning this one..she knows Tonya and Roddy's life story..and knows quite alot about Amy now also..and has facts about Lori as well..she definitely has an advantage..Lisa,Eric,and even Gerry might have a little bit of an advantage too..because Lisa and Eric know Tonya and Roddy pretty well..and Gerry knows a fair amount about Lori and Tonya because of the talks they have had..but Chiara has the most obvious advantage

I don't get what the thing on the ground is/was? Like some sort of a track or something?

I don't think I want to see yet another trivia challenge. Aside from the first show, haven't both been trivia? They need to add some twist to it or else it's going to get old.

From what I saw from the caps, I think it's a giant "HOH" circle....

For every crude thing you have done or said on this show take one step backwards..oooohhh Jason wins..now that's how you do a quick no frills hoh competition..Of course some have backed clear out the front door and I say "leave em there."

If the pictures of the HOH contest paddles (as shown in the live feeds)are really only To and Lo and Am and Roddy (ie the evicted HG's plus the current ineligible HOH), then isn't that a dead giveaway that Amy is going? I mean I know that we all know that now but BB doesn't usually confirm it like this...especially since the HG's are out there rehearsing. Was there a picture of Marcellas too?

Bmh

Thursday, August 01, 2002 - 03:38 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
I agree everyone is gonna realize Amy gets evicted if her picture is there...there has to be a catch to this HOH challenge..they wouldn't make Amy's eviction that obvious to the hg's would they??

By the time they do the HOH contest, Amy will have already been evicted. I think someone in the control room forgot to push the button so this wasn't on the feeds. Hopefully it's not the same guy that forgot to push the button when Chiara told the entire world about "snap snap snap" or whatever his name was!! There's going to be more heads rolling at ASP today!! :)

Gerry would excel in a comp where they asked the HG's which direction they were facing, what the temperature is without using a thermometer, and what time of day is it? Oh, I just read Earthmother's input, and I really like that one.

Obviously a math oriented challenge does not favor Eric.

lol :)

I was estimating (5' x 3)+(4" x 3)= 192" (16'-0) while they were figuring out. Maybe I should be HOH. Amy is a little shorter, not looking at her bio.

What was the HOH comp. tonight? I forgot to rewind my video (I tape the show while I'm at work) and the tape cut off at the end of Amy's interview. I know it was trivia and that Gerry won, but what kinds of questions were there, what were the paddles for? Thanks! I'm going to post this in the Q&A thread as well.

The last two were Gerry and Eric. They were all asked a series of questions about the evicted HGs and Roddy from their bios. The paddles were pictures of Amy, Tonya, Lori and Roddy. The tie breaker was guessing the total height of the evicted HGs. Gerry was onlt a few inched off and Eric was a couple of feet off.

What was the question that they were upset about- saying it was unfair? I saw something in a thread about the four saying some question was unfair?

Cajunrambler

They are just sore losers. Most of them were pretty easy. Maybe they think tt wasn't fair because they couldn't cheat and see each other's answers.

I was stunned when they blew the playboy question. That was a no brainer.

I wish they had shown Roddys face when they all picked him for it. Since he seems to think he is pretty brainy, that probably irked him.
