If this thing is true...It'll happen in the next three weeks. Once they get below five players left, it's not really fair to replace someone like that. Also, it's perfect to throw a wrench into the groups...cause if one of the couples wins HOH tonight, I think the next three evictions are set up in Gerry, then Marcellas, then Josh....it brings excitement into the middle game, before people have ot think about who they need to be against in the finals, but after one of the groups looks to have the control of the game.

I just hope the TWIST lives up to its hype.

Elvis Presley returning would be nice :)

Well I did some calculations....the last show is most likely September 25th. (A Wednesday, because Survivor is starting the next night, and AR3 starts the week after that) Based on that, there are 8 weeks left. I doubt you would have only 2 people left the week before, because that would be a week with only 2 people. S, they will probably evict someone, then bring one of the evictees back, that's why the sequestering and such. The math works out, because you can evict down to three on the 19th, have the final eviction that Saturday, and have the final show that Wednesday. Let's assume they announce the twist next week, and apply it the week after:

August 8: Evict down to 8
August 15: Evict one, bring one back, still 8
August 22: Evict to 7
August 29: Evict to 6
Sept 5: Evict to 5
Sept 12: Evict to 4
Sept 19: Evict to 3, begin final HOH
Sept 21 (Saturday): finish final HOH; Evict to 2
Sept 25 (Wednesday): Declare the winner.

So the math works out to bring back someone.

I don't believe someone should be allowed back in the game.

I think (evil mind at work here), that the HOH nominates two people. Then someone wins the power of veto and either chooses to use it or not. And when the houseguests vote, the evicted nominees get to vote TOO! Think how much fun it would be to see the HGs faces when they realize the ones they booted out just might be in control of their respective destinies! <evil grin>

Nice work, Wilson. It may have already been speculated, but since there appears to be some form of sequestering, it can't just be to keep the jury from becoming tainted by the LFs. They could have been told about that, so they could factor it in. Nobody knows about it; they think the families/friends will meet them. And, if that were the case, why not interview them the day after their eviction in their luxury suite? No, something else is afoot. hee hee

And yay...just over a month till Survivor5 and TAR3!

I think Wilson might be right. And I have to say that I'm not really thrilled with the idea of bringing someone back. It just seems like their role (except for voting at the end) should be over. Or, at the very least, kept to a minimum. Coming back into the house as a contestant (as opposed to just visiting) is just too much for someone who was supposed to be eliminated.

Oh well...guess we'll find out. I just hope the the re-admitted HG hasn't gotten wind of anything going on in the house - no live feeds, no shows, no talking to other people about the show. I'd *really* dislike seeing that. I'm assuming it won't happen (thus the sequestering), but if it did - wow. That person would have so much power.

If they do this...there has to be one rule to make it fair for the returnee. The returnee cannot be nominated for eviction in the first week. In exchange, that person would not be eligible for HOH (although I think the return would be after HOH anyway) or win veto that first week either. I'm not sure about whether the person could vote, however. I think that person should be able to vote since they would be in a full week by that time. WIthout this rule, HOH could just nominate the returnee and everyone else would vote to evict most likely, thus making it a wasted week.

Ah shucks, Ketchup! But thanks!

Arnie, buddy... if you be listening on this, I want credit for my idea! Monetary credit ought to do nicely!

OK guys....and gals

Let me chime in here....are we sure that Arnold has something else OTHER than the "twist" that we're all thinking of that requires the HGs to be sequestered.

In other words, are we sure that Arnie dosen't have TWO new twists to throw in on us still...and not just ONE, not counting the power of veto?

No, we're not sure because he told a reporter in a news article that came out right before the premiere that there would be at least 3 new twists.

You're right. This twist may not even involve the sequestering. Don't you just love a good mystery?

Maybe because the outgoing hoh has always been a target, they will make it that they can't be nominated the following week. That would kind of change things, especially for those people who like to fly under the radar.

I thought it a bit odd that Julie Chen said (to Amy) something on the order of: "we'll see you back here in September".

Maybe it's a feint, but her comment would seem to indicate that Amy won't be going back in the house until September, to vote.

For what it's worth ....

Jumpcuts, I think she says that to all the outgoing houseguests.

well Julie might be saying that to throw us off....and suprise those who haven't heard about the sequestering. Or Arnie hasn't told Julie yet exactly what's going on.

That sounds about right to me, it's not like to can run up to the front door, and ask marc to come out and play. :)

Prediction

1. Evicted HG gets to choose what nominee to evict.

2. Evicted HG gets to choose HOH next week.

What if all the evicted go back in for 1 day/1 night, challenges, etc. Just like last year's group from survivor? They don't have the LF's, etc., - but, they may have piece together opionions, clues and things from discussions among themselves.

Maybe there is no HOH next week.

i missed some of this discussion, but do we think that maybe it will be Americas Choice to put an evicted houseguest back into the house as HOH?
Who would you want?

btw, what do we know about the sequestering? The HGs seem to know about it but they cant imagine it being for the whole time either... Are they actually locked up individually, all alone, no human contact? that seems crazy...I dont see how it could be done to them for three months?

Also, i see a lot of mention of Sept. here, dont i recall that they were saying Oct. at one point?

Donut....that's what I thought, too....wasn't it mentioned that the HGs referred to the game as lasting "100 days"? That would take it into October. BUT....Julie DID say to Amy "See you back here in September".

What gives?

More unknowns in the game...sure gets frustrating, doesn't it? Makes it difficult to follow when you don't know what the parameters of the game are.

bump, so me and sanfran can get our questions answered
(even if this isnt the q and a thread and even tho there are really two threads about the twist on the board...)

what surprises me is when lori, tonya and amy left the house. not a one of them said, 'where is my greeting party?' i wonder when they are told there is no one there to meet them, or if they find out walking in and seeing only julie chen. i'd ask!! i mean it would probably come out along the lines of 'where the hell is my family member?' but i'd ask!

Tabby, the family members have never been there waiting -- they were brought out at the end of the interview
My guess though is they may have been tipped that there would be no on screen reunion
Amy was expecting to see her dog right away though
