At least now there are less that 24 hours to wait for the twist. :)

It's really sad how addicted I am to this show. I blame this website on it, by the way! hahahaha

Just kidding, I absolutely love these posts!

The "twist" was promoted during the "48 Hours" program that aired right after Big Brother tonight, but not during Big Brother...looks to me like they are trying to draw in "new" viewers....they already know we are hooked!

I just had a terrible thought, what if the new twist is another pet?

Wasn't it about this point last year when they sent in the new HG (Ophelia the pig)? That would seriously depress me I have been waiting for something truly earthshattering to happen to these HG.

(But then again maybe they could send in a 200lb pet Cougar to keep Lisa company in bed after Eric is gone) LOL!

I know, I know, not nice, Aria slaps her wrist!

Have we thought about the fact that since they are doing some things similar to Survivor that maybe they are gonna change the Veto to Immunity. That way whoever wins has immunity or can give it to someone else in the house. That way if someone who was nominated got the immunity the HOH would HAVE to put up someone else. That could really wreck havoc in all the game plans especially since soon it will be down to few players.

I think it would be great if they brought Amy in tonight & let her have the power of veto..she would save Lisa & put Chiara up, I'd love to see what her Hotty Roddy would do with her & Eric up on the block..then make them all vote live & watch Chiara's face as Roddy votes her OUT! That would be priceless!

I don't know if this is true, but I was told by an acquaintance who works BB3 that the twist is going to be that the two evictees will choose a name of another HG from a fishbowl but will not be told who it is. They will then be told they can trade places with that other houseguest. This will come after the vote but before it is announced and whoever's name the evictee selects will be out of the house if the evictee agrees to it -- all done blindly without knowledge of who is selected for eviction, who they chose to put out.

(But then we all know Chiarra puts out! LOL!!)

That would just suck! I don't like it at all.

Here is what I think the new twist might be. BB will throw a "wild card" into the voting by allowing the sequestered evictees to vote in evictions. Each week the group of evictees would select one of the two nominees to receive their group's vote, and this vote would be added in to the votes of the houseguests. The evicted houseguests would not have to wait until the end of the show for some revenge. This would introduce an element of unpredictability into the strategy and planning.

What555, if that's the case and that happens that would, for lack of a better word, SUCK!!!! ....... Sounds kinda like the "grab the ball out of the bag" thing that zapped Pappy on the last Survivor. I hate all of this chance stuff. Let the HG's play the game.

I realize in the grand scheme of the world, it's not THAT cruel, but I think that would be awufl. ......... If, for example, Jason is playing the best game, he should be allowed to stay IN the game, not forced to leave because his name was drawn out of a hat.

OMG..that would totally suck..I really hope that isn't it..I mean what happens if they pick like Marcie,Dani,or Jason that have been playing the game the best and then are thrown outta the game so aburbtly..just by chance..ugh..please dont let that be it..that would be awful

What--

That plan reminds me of the Survivor ploy where they selected the rocks from the bag...sending the judge home.

It would certainly stir things up, but wouldn't it be sad if the "nice guy" (Jason) is the victim of the random drawing.

The "Josh hears doorbell" thread makes me pretty certain somebody will be entering the house from outside (why test the doorbell otherwise?). Would really like it to be one of the evicted BB3 HGs now sequestered -- both because any of them deserve it and because I wanna see the looks on the faces of the HGs still in the house. But who knows? I do not want it to be any of the BB2 HGs because they already had their "15 minutes of fame" last summer.

LOL. Aero that would be entirely too cool and priceless.

This might be mentioned here because I will be honest and say I have not read all 189 posts. Maybe each week now they will bring in an evicted HG starting with Lori. They won't be eligible to win anymore but will be placed as that week's HOH. That way whoever has HOH isn't worried about themselves in the strategy of winning the game. (insert evil music here). I doubt this is the twist but it might be interesting.

DO you think that (a la Mole) they may offer one or more HG $50,000 to leave today, and if someone takes the bait - neither Lisa nor Eric will leave...??

Money definitely has to play a part in this.

And if more than one leaves an evicted houseguest comes back?

Well, that would be consistant with BB2 when they offered money in exchange for the house eat pb&j for days on end.

Dixie - That would explain the sequestering of the evicted HG's. Definitely makes you go "hmmmm"...

DIXIEBELLE - If the evicted HG each came back for 1 week of HOH in order starting w/Lori, that would really require strategizing knowing the person you evict will be back to nominate in 4 weeks! hmmmmm

I'm still on the "second chance" theory. Some of the ideas sound really good (especially the evicted HG's get a combined eviction vote one)...but they don't answer the question of why the HG's are being sequestered. And why are they not allowed to talk about the game on their phone calls home? They need some information to go on in their final votes....would it be fair for Lori to make a decision based on two weeks of knowing the finalists three months earlier? Even on Survivor, although they couldn't discuss stuff with each other, the jury at least had the tribal councils for information....we have no idea if the evicted HG's have had any info given to them at all, which makes the "second chance" thing even more likely IMO....I guess we'll find out in 5 hours or so...

I haven't read this whole thread either (sorry, too busy at work, errr, reading LPFs :) ) but here is my thinking:

1) I don't think they can't just let an evicted HG back in without some sort of exchange, it would be really unfair to those playing the game. Julie's comment on Thursdays saying we'll see you in September also leads me to believe that once you are out you stay out.

2) Suggestions involving randomness are also unfair.

3) One can make a doorbell ringing a part of adding drama to introducing the twist so I don't think that is a critical piece. (e.g., let an evicted HG ring the bell and read the "new twist rules" then leave)

This twist does not break the above rules:

Before the voting is revealed, BB says to the 2 separately up for eviction that we will give you $$ (say $5k or $10K) to agree to be evicted.
This is unfair also, but at least the one to go has been nominated, and since it is voluntary it doesn't necessarily affect the game. Unfortunately, this twist means that if you really think you are going to be evicted (Lisa?), you may take the deal. I would hope that if both nominees accept then no one gets it...

A simpler twist is that they can offer cash to anyone who wishes to take the place of the evicted HG that night.

Hmm, can't wait.

If this has something to do with random names being drawn for eviction (as suggested on a different thread), I will be very, very disgusted. I want people to see the results of their actions, not be able to blame whatever happens on the "luck of the draw"...

I'm guessing that it will have something to do with being offered money to voluntarily leave the house, especially coming on the heels of the letter from home America's Choice, where BB poured salt in the "wounds" of those missing their families. But would anyone take that money? Eric and Lisa are bent on staying for revenge, I can see maybe Gerry taking it, he's been put through the wringer here, he's sad and wants to go home where everyone is happy... but as for the rest, I think they are all too hard-headed and stubborn to give up the game...

I don't understand how offering money is a big twist since it was done at least two times in BB1.
