What do U think the "New Twist" that "will send shock waves" will be?
Bearysweet | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 01:42 pm     I have been lurking on this board since BB2 and this is my first post. I wonder if they will be bringing the evicted houseguests (jury) back for the eviction shows the same way the survivor jury comes to tribal council to observe. There would be no interaction allowed, but they would be there for a Q/A session with Julie. Then they would not be privvy to what happened on the show prior to their eviction, just what they see during the eviction shows. The houseguests wouldn't know what rotten things were said about them until the jury vote was over. Just a thought. Going back into lurk mode now. |
Mrbubble | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 01:44 pm     Beary - Please don't lurk. That was brilliant! I love the idea! |
Mrbubble | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 01:46 pm     Deadonjo - I think Josh might go for it. He knows he's not liked and is being kept around as an ace in the whole. |
Kitt | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:16 pm     The promos for the shows keep saying either Eric or Lisa will be evicted Thursday, tune in to find out which (or some paraphrase of that). They state those names explicitly, so I don't think that one of this week's nominees will be saved. I (still) think the evicted people are going to pick the nominees for this next week. The jury idea is good though! |
Kitt | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:22 pm     Half way through BB3 in the UK they used the previously evicted houseguests in an egg and spoon race (don't know if you have that here, just a little game, nothing difficult but funny to watch). If I remember correctly each of the remaining houseguests picked an evicted houseguest, and the two who came last were put up for eviction that week. It was more or less random, and resulted in a pair of nominees who wouldn't have been put up otherwise, so it was quite a twist. I don't know how they would work this kind of thing into the US BB as only three have been evicted so far, but it's a possibility that might result in random nominations. |
Katta | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:26 pm     Did anyone notice today during lockdown, when they showed the production crew working on the game outside... They were using "stand-ins", as usual, but the brief time I viewed it, I counted four (4) women holding the balls in their hands. One was black [Dani], one had long dark hair (looked somewhat Asian)[perhaps Lisa?], one blond, and another with perhaps brown hair [Chiara]. Could the one with long blond hair represent "ousted HG Amy?" And does this also indicate that Lisa stays and Eric is voted out? (Does anyone have any screen captures of this?) |
Bmh | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:29 pm     I thought there were 5 guys and 3 girls..one guy looked like a girl but I think it was a guy So there were 5 guys and 3 girls..the exact match for if Eric is evicted tonite..and Lisa stays..hmmm |
Gritss | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:32 pm     They should add a little excitement to the game. A cross between the tree from the 1st show and the snake in Mole2. Put the two nominees in the HRD, and the last one out gets the option to voluntarily leave for $50k. |
C1mag | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:34 pm     Boy have the ideas really gotten wild. I'm still laughing at how much power so many are willing to give to an evicted person. It's just not going to happen. When you are evicted you are out of the game. End of story. It's going to be something that involves the hoh, and it will deal only with those in the house. It seems like once a theory gets started on this board a lot of people run with it and it becomes much bigger than what it is. Someone finds out that the evicted are sequestered and all of a sudden someone thinks it means something. Sure it does... it means they are cut off from being influenced by all the fanatics like us so that their vote in the end will be based on their experience while in the house. Thats all it means. Someone swears that Josh heard a doorbell so that must have something to do with the new twist. Figure this one out... Josh is the only one in the house to hear the doorbell? I lean towards the thought that Josh hears bells in his head all the time and we will just leave that one alone. The final analysis is that all the theorys have probably been much bigger than what this new twist will actually be. |
Draheid | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:38 pm     I still like this idea: HoH no longer exists! Competitions tonight will be 2 losers are nominated! Veto competition is the same, except whoever is not saved, get to choose who they go up against instead ... unless the veto is not used... JMO - FWIW |
Pulk | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:40 pm     Kitt, your way way off with the egg and spoon thing on UK BB3. The houseguests watched a taped egg and spoon race between 4 evicted housemates that took place outside the house but it was recorded and not live and they watched the race on the plasma screen in the living room. Each racer had betting odds and the housemates had to bet some of their grocery budget (£150) for that week on one of the racers. They bet £50 on the only girl who was racing at odds of 4/1 and she actually won so they won £200 plus the £50 they originally bet. That gave them a grand total of £400 between the final four for the last week. They spent half of it on alcohol. |
Zeyna | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:40 pm     Speculation is half the fun C1. Whatever it is, it better be real shocking after all this. |
Rnr60 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:45 pm     I have it! Its quite shocking! Big brother is actually running electric wires under the flooring- each time one of the houseguests get a question wrong, or do something they are not supposed to (like sing) they get a jolt! What a shocker! See the HG's dance! |
Kitt | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:49 pm     AH yes, that was it! I was confusing the egg and spoon race for food with the time they had random evictions. So how did they get those random evictions that time? It was the week where PJ was evicted. My memory clearly doesn't work past a few weeks . |
Abby7 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 02:57 pm     Whatever the twist is, you would think CBS/the producers would have to be careful because it could cause some lawsuits in the long run. For instance, I have read a few times where Roddy has mentioned the fact that Arnold Shapiro told him (I think personally because Roddy asked him) that the evicted houseguests would be able to see the show. Knowing that, Roddy has planned his game accordingly. If, for example, any evicted houseguests were allowed back in....they would then know their strategy and play accordingly. Therefore, there is no way the evicted houseguests could allowed back in to the game. I just hope this new twist doesn't give one of the houseguests something to sue over...unfortunately we live in a "sue-happy" society. |
Pulk | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 03:06 pm     Kitt, two housemates were offered the chance to see a video msg of their family. Whichever to got to see the msg were the two nominated. None of them outright wanted it so Tim suggested doing it randomly by putting wrapping two bits of chocolate in paper and then the hm drew lots. Kate and PJ got the chocolate. The whole thing was farcical because the producers wanted them to discuss things but Tim suggested doing it randomly and everything was settled in 10 seconds. |
Kitt | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 03:15 pm     Oh yes, I remember. So it wasn't intended to be a random eviction, just a self picked eviction. Not much different from how they do it here then. Oh well, it was a nice idea . |
Pulk | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 03:18 pm     Actually i cringed at the producers ideas or the lack of. Those two live saturday night tasks were the highlights of the whole show though. |
Gritss | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 03:21 pm     C1MAG, did you consider that the sequester is only for a while, and the evictees will have ample opportunities to get on the net and find out what happened before heading back for the final? I think that implies there is something planned for the evictees near term, likely tonight. |
Bohawkins | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 03:35 pm     bearysweet - I have posted the same idea you mentioned about the evicted houseguests being brought back to act as an observing jury. I postulated this on a previous thread about this exact subject title (that thread vanished), and then early on this thread. I called it the dynamic jury concept. It was not supported either times in spite of my very logical (if I must say so myself) efforts to defend it. I am glad to see that your statement of it got an appraisal of "brilliant." I see it possibly two ways. One, they don't vote, just observe, however, the houseguests are aware of their presence, but can't converse with them. The second way would be that they would actually vote each week along with houseguests. This would mean nine people voting each week, so there would be no ties. I am anxious to see tonight. I believe some version of the sitting, survivor style jury, will be the twist. I must say that also like the theory that the remaining guests will be divided into two teams, also survivor style, and teams will compete for immunity. That would be a twist which would shake up all alliances. However, I am not as strong on that concept as I am the jury. I simply do not believe that they will have any evicted people returning, although reading some of those ideas was very entertaining. |
Wilsonatmd | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:27 pm     Pulk....you'd be interested to know I read online that next year, the UK BB is thinking of using the HOH concept (audience still votes out apparently) |
Toolhound | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:46 pm     I think they will offer money to one of them to leave and if they take it they get to pick one of the 4 evicted house guests(Amy,Lori,Tonya or the one evicted tonight probably Eric) to return to the house. |
Indybarb | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:50 pm     tool......what a great idea....hope that is it!! |
Zeyna | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:52 pm     If that's the case, who do you think might take the money? |
Maris | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:52 pm     or the departing HOH gets to pick the one to return to the house. HOLA LORI!!!!!!!!! |
C1mag | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:54 pm     I don't like the idea of giving and evcited houseguest another shot. The idea of having a jury sit there maybe would work but I don't get any feelings of "Shock" over that picture either. Telling them the show has been conceled now that would be shocking! LOL |
Indybarb | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 04:55 pm     tool......what a great idea....hope that is it!! |
Gentoo | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 06:22 pm     Well it was than a wave running through the house. It was a tidal wave. They have no creativity whatsoever (They had so many options, they could have had evicted HGs have veto or something). But they did the obviously stupid thing and put a HG back in the house. This completely ruins the show for me. Makes it feel fake. On the upside, at least I finally know what I'll be watching on Thursday nights. Until now I've been switching back and forth between BB and Smackdown.... now its Smackdown, cuz I'm done with BB. See y'all next season (if they have one) |
