Ryn | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 08:44 pm     Ok, if there is a thread dealing with this please point the way and I will gladly go there and close this one. So one of the 1st 4 evicted HGs will get to come back in and get a second chance. Do you think this will be the only group that gets that chance? let me do a lil calculating here.... 12 hgs to start 4 evicted, 8 left Now this week we toss out one and bring back in one, so we are still at 8.... IF (big if) this pattern continues..... after we have 3 more HGs evicted (to get a total of 4 again) lets say those 4 get to compete again to come back in.... so we would have 5 hgs left after the next 'swap' (one leaves, one enters) doing it ONE more time..... 3 hgs left (one leaves, one returns). do you think it might work this way? I would guess they will have to speed up the eviction process to do it. Also, if they did something like this, one HG could be evicted 3 times and STILL WIN (assuming he/she got back in each time) what a trip that would be, imagine say - just for example, Roddy and Danielle evicting Jason at the end, the door opens and in walks say Lori for the 3rd time (I'm baaaaaaccckkk). LOL - it would be a kick. BUT, if I were Danielle, Roddy or Jason (in the case of this example) I would feel ripped off because if I lost I would not have a chance to get back in (one strike and they are out for good). Even if it stays the way it is now and no one gets another chance, the HGs that were not evicted should be able to cry FOUL imho because they were not given a "second chance" ok, thats all my ramblings, I know what I mean, hope you got it too. Point is, this "twist" has really screwed with the rules the HGs were playing by when they entered the game. I suspect their contracts cover this so they can't "sue" but to me it is still unfair to those that do not get more than one chance (evicted with no second chance to come back). shutting up now... |
Mystery | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 08:47 pm     If nothing else, the twist might make the HGs think that they might safely nominate someone they like and have that person make it back into the house. |
Draheid | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 08:48 pm     I agree, Ryn. Especially the thought that: Lori spends 2 weeks in the house... then 4 weeks in Cancun (or wherever) 1 week in the house 4 more weeks in Cancun 3 weeks in the house Goes home with $500,000. and one heck of a tan! How fair is that going to be? (Assuming she makes it back in each time, of course!) |
Missy2 | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 08:50 pm     I think its fair if they have to compete to get back into the house. They are at a disadvantage with the time they missed....sooo |
Ryn | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 08:50 pm     I saw somewhere they talked about that as a possibility (HGs assuming there will be more chances to get in) Can you see that thursday? Josh or Roddy walks out, talks to Julie, "Well Julie it sucks but I guess I will get a second try in a couple weeks - send me off to the Carribean!!!" Julie, "We're sorry X, that was a one time deal, you are going home and here is your family!!!!" X, "WHAT THE *&$%#@ ????" |
Ryn | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:05 pm     If the normal eviction schedule is followed here are two scenereos, #1 is the one I suggested at the top of this thread, #2 assumes that this one time is the only chance to get back in.
Eviction Date | Hgs Left #1 | Hgs Left #2 | 8/08 | 8 | 8 | 8/15 | 8 | 8 | 8/22 | 7 | 7 | 8/29 | 6 | 6 | 9/06 | 5 | 5 | 9/13 | 5 | 4 | 9/20 | 4 | 3 | 9/25 | 3 | 2 | 9/25 is the final show - on a Wednesday. Hard to predict if this is how it would go, obviously they can't do the scenereo I suggested AND keep the current schedule. Actually they can't keep the normal schedule either way, can't have 2 HGs left the night of the final show (after the eviction). SO who knows.... |
Whit4you | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:06 pm     Ya I agree.. I mean I do like the '2nd chance idea' but this is not a game for a car or a fridge.. this is a game for 500 g's which if managed right can really make a difference in someone's life and is it fair that the first 4 get a 2nd shot and the 5th guy...6th guy doesnt...? I don't think so..ratings or no ratings 500 g's is big money if managed right.. but I have felt that way...since George's departure in BB I ... BB played god in his life by sharing inside info with the contestants. |
Bmh | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:09 pm     lol omg I would be laughing my ass off..if Lori kept coming back..I would love to see the look on Danielle's face as she is in the final 4 boots someone(greedily thinking to herself she has this game won) and then in comes Lori AGAIN saying Im back!!! ..and nominates Dani's ass and kicks her out..I would literally die of laughing |
Avery | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:09 pm     ohhh try to tell Arnie there is something he can't do--as long as it doesn't make sense to us, all is good with him |
Itscrazy | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:12 pm     I guess we'll maybe get a hint on Friday morning. If the evicted houseguest shows up on The Early Show or if Kent is able to do a exit interview like Arnold promised him. If Roddy/Josh disappears like the first four we'll know something could be up. But didn't I hear a rumor that Kent was told that after a few weeks that the houseguests would be available to him? It only seems fair to give the next four evicted the same chance as the first four. Time will tell;) |
Zachsmom | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:12 pm     I don't remember where I heard or read this..but I distinctly recall someone mentioning that they needed to be available into October..At the time I was confused as to why so long..but after this twist it kinda made sense to me.. |
Draheid | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:13 pm     There could always be a 'Grand Finale' show with a final eviction, and IMMEDIATE vote of the winner all in the same show ... could even be a two-hour show ... in television, anything is possible! JMO - FWIW |
Avery | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:24 pm     This I am sure doesn't belong here but I can't find the other, and actually this has probably already been cleared up but I am lost to that too.....SO Didn't Tonya's boyfriend say that he got 10 min calls with her? I am just wondering how "out of touch" they really are. |
Ryn | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:25 pm     Maybe it works like this, they all gather for the final show, the 1st person out gets one ping pong ball, the second 2, the third 3.... etc etc, with extra given to the ones who got back in..... the last 2 get 10 each or something.... Arnie fires up the NBA lottery machine (oh wait - thats on NBC...), well he fires up a borrowed lottery machine and out pops the winning HGs #. heheh ok - I am getting silly. |
Draheid | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:26 pm     Avery: They get 2 calls per week up to 10 minutes and the calls are MONITOR Big Brother style...so they can't be learning much unless the people on the other end know the *snap* code really well...which I suppose is possible! |
Ryn | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:27 pm     Avery - there is a thread called quick Q & A's - that would be a good one for that thread but since you put it here and will look here for an answer. THe HGs were said to have been allowed some contact with the family via phone - and the calls were monitored by BB. Hope that helps. |
Cornie | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:29 pm     I think the next two groups of 4 evictees will have a second chance also.Apparently the four will have some kind of competition to see who goes back in, and then the other 3 will probably be sent home.If they kept the evictees sequestered for the whole show in places like Cancun....I'd be volunteering to be nominated or if I won HOH I'd put myself up...LOL |
Maris | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:31 pm     I am betting this is a one shot deal. They are not going to give the next groups a second chance. The HGs wont know this but I just cant see BB putting our Joshie up in Mexico for four weeks. he would drive the handlers nuts. |
Pamy | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 10:44 pm     I still believe AS came up with this twist after seeing Tonya and Amy leave. He knows they were both good tv.
 |
Bmh | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 10:45 pm     since when was Tonya good TV..ya she was good to look at..but I shudder even saying that because she was so fake that I dont even think she is that hot..Amy was good tv though! |
Maris | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 10:47 pm     Bmh, I have to admit I was taken aback when I saw my husbnd trying to roll a 32 inch tv into the bathroom. All I could think of was what ever happened to taking a playboy to the bathroom. |
Pamy | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 10:58 pm     To us girls she may not be good tv, but to most 18-45 boys(men)she was GOOOOOOOD tv!! Showers with other girls, rubbing pb on eachother, most men RENT stuff like that!!!
 |
Draheid | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 11:00 pm     Pamy Shhhhhhhh...say things like that, they may start putting the feeds on Pay-Per-View! YIKES!!!  |
Ryn | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 11:04 pm     She wasn't good TV to this 36 yr old male. I was glad she left and Josh stayed. |
Draheid | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 11:06 pm     Yeah, Ryn...it left us with ONE B@@B instead of TWO!! JMO - FWIW |
