If the "twist" is a money offer to leave, do you think any of the houseguests would take it and go?I tend to doubt it. They all seem pretty headstrong(and also are milking the TV screen time too I'm sure.) I kind of like the idea of making the person use the Power of Veto each week, not allowing them a choice.

Hi Grove--I didn't see the UK show. What was the heaven/hell thing about? Sounds a bit intriguing.

I think Lurknomore's idea, or a variation on it, makes the most sense.
Most of the ideas floated here, though interesting, don't reach the threshhold of earthshattering or game changing that we seem to expect.
It should be something that catches them off guard.
NOT sure though that the evictees would have to be sequestered if it just that, although a case could be made that it is appropriate.
The problem with the sequestering thing is that it is an uneven playing field among the 3 evictees -- each will have a different frame of reference unless they are able to comingle experiences.
End of the day -- my guess is it might be something no one has thought of.

I have thought of two possibilities:

1) Announce at the voting who voted for who

2) Give the penalty of veto to the ousted HGs. Give the ousted HGs three choices, no veto - veto for A or veto for B. tally the votes of the ousted HGs and that is what happens. The HGs then have to wait till Monday to find out if the veto was used and if so who was vetoed.

If I were AS, I'd raise the winner's take to $1 million and eliminate the second place prize of $50,000. That way, winner takes all, losers get nothing but a stipend, and those who really, really, really want the cash (like Dani) will fight like crazy to win.

What if the evicted house guests get to ask the remaining house guests one question from the live feeds that they have been viewing? This could send shock waves. Like if Amy chose to ask Chiara why she found it necessary to vote for Lisa.

Biggusbrotherus -- that would cost CBS $450,000 more.
For this bunch? Don't think so

Maris -- that's sorta my thinking too -- make the voting public.

I don't think it would be fair to allow someone who has been evicted to come back into the game. The votes have been cast and they are out. If you have been eliminated from the game thats it. You don't get a second chance at all. I think people are wishing for this and I don't see it happening at all. Maybe it's a simple twist... The new hoh gets to watch in private some of the video feeds of the others talking strategy. They are not allowed to mention what they have seen or heard. Perhaps the hoh would then make choices for nominations based on their own best interests instead of looking out for others. Now that would be interesting because it would be useless to pitch your ideas to the hoh person at that point. I like something like this bettter than the idea that the evicted get a chance to come back or screw with future voting. It just doesn't seem right.

I agree with Maris on the first point. I think instead of just giving the tally of votes (i.e. Amy, by a vote of 7-0...) they'll announce who each hg voted for. This way, there would be no hiding behind your vote...everyone would know if the hg lied.

Sanfran-You were right. It was Love Shack, no news on the show returning from hiatus, yet.

Just wanted to point out that if they are sending the shockwaves for the Wed show that something is going to happen tonight.

In fact every FOTH has me wondering.

Good idea shadowkat :)

Even better, Shadowkat: Show the entire voting DR session for each voter on the Plasma screen LIVE!

I want the shockwave to be Eric's girlfriend showing up to collect him and that ratty hat of his. Is that so wrong of me?

What if... (dunno if this has already been mentioned)

What if.. for the final 6 (or however many are left after this week..) the HOH gets to nom... someone gets to veto ... but it's the EVICTED HGs who get to pick the replacement??

OR if it's the evicted HG's who get to vote out one of the noms..? :)

That'd be a fun twist hehe

Don't know if this one was mentioned......

What if you have the two nominees and one gets evicted and the other gets HOH. No more contest for it.

Might make them use that veto.

without a doubt the "shockwave" will be something that is borrowed from one of the other (other country's) BB's. It will involve the sequestered hg's, and will not be nearly as "shocking" as we all assume it is. It wasn't shocking last year when the new hg was an animal, it wasn't shocking when the survivors joined the cast for all of a few hours to play one challenge.

Judging from 2 facts:

1. The House Guests, when evicted, are NOT greeted by their family and friends the way they were in the previous 2 years.

2.The House Guests, after eviction, do NOT go home, but are “sequestered” in a hotel or some other undisclosed location until the end of the show.

That leads me to conclude that the new twist is ONE OF THE EVICTED HOUSE GUESTS WILL BE RETURNING TO THE BIG BROTHER HOUSE. I’m not sure how they will do this, but I’m assuming that, like the Power of Veto, someone will win the “Power of Un-Eviction” and have a chance to reinstate one of the evicted House Guests BACK INTO THE HOUSE. This is similar to the Big Brother board game, which bares little resemblance to the TV show, in which an evicted House Guest can re-enter the game/house just before the final round.

I do not think the evicted will come back. They are out!!! In Survivor they sequester the booted and they don't come back until the end to vote. So I'm applying that same approach. So how about this..................

Starting this week, what if all them, including the current HOH, are allowed to vie for HOH week after week? Similar to immunity on Survivor. This would make HOH the most coveted position in the house. You could literally earn your way into the finals by winning hoh each week. I really believe that the shocking twist deals with hoh since it will be revealed on the day of the next hoh comp. Again, I don't think it has anything to do with the evicted houseguests. It would be ludicrous to allow the losers back in the game. It is also understood there is to be no outside influence. Anyone outside the house, even sequestered is considered an outside influence on the game.

Interesting twist. I just read a cute scenario on our message boards. Thursday night live b'cast, getting toward the end, live eviction happens & Lisa or Eric walk.

HG's are told to gather in the living room for the upcoming HoH competition, and we go to commercial ...

Back from commercial, and Julie's face appears on their flat screen.

JULIE: Hello again, House Guests!

ALL: (less enthusiastic than before) Hi again, Julie...

JULIE: As you know, the time has come to compete for the next HoH.
House Guests? Unbeknownst to any of you, Big Brother has planted a "mole" within your ranks. This Mole, who is actually a CBS employee, entered the house with you four weeks ago -

HG'S: (Cries of angst, groans)

JULIE: (upbeat) Yes, it seems like a looong time ago, doesn't it?
Anyway, listen up, House Guests, for your future in the house may depend on this. Like I was saying, one of the fellow HG's seated near you is a "mole" who has been paid to enter the house and
participate in the game as if he or she was a regular player. You have twenty four hours to question and examine each other, the first
HG to correctly identify the mole-player will be HoH for the following week, and Big Brother's mole will scurry out of the house....

Impossible to imagine, perhaps, but can you imagine the paranoia and confusion and suspicion that would follow? I'd be glued to the feeds
without sleep, watching all relationships and alliances splinter as the HG's point their finger in every different direction.

It'd be insane, but THAT would be fun to watch.

I think they'll bring in the Lie Detector, and have a Q&A with Eric and Lisa. Now wouldn't that be a hoot. :)

I think the twist will be that BB will take advantage of the fact that they have the three sequestered houseguests on hand. But I agree with others that it would be too much of a disruption to allow them back into the game. I think the evictees will be given an influence on the game of some kind, whether it be via veto or selecting HOH, or whatever, but not allow them to re-enter the game.
