Hey all -- just wondering if someone could fill me in on exactly what "penalty nominations" are. I hear that term tossed around a lot, and as someone who didn't watch any of BB1 and just TINY bits of BB2, I'm confused by the idea.

If you could explain it, I'd greatly appreciate it! Thanks!!! :c)

I'm anxious to see if and when BB decides to put up a houseguest on a penalty nom - I was hoping to see some action when Josh cheated during the food competition when he stuffed food in his pants. Oh well...

Elcopple: Penalty nomination is supposed to be for a houseguest violating the rules. To my knowledge, it has NEVER been used. IMO, there have been numerous occasions when it SHOULD have been used, ie. Chiara repeatedly being told to put on her Mic, Josh cheating at the food competition, etc.

I would suspect, if someone were Penatly Nominated, they would be subject to the other HG's voting and could be evicted. JMO - FWIW

I agree, CMC -- but I still don't know what a penalty nom IS! I'm mostly interested in seeing it happen so I can figure it out -- unless you'd be kind enough to explain it? (Anyone else can explain it, too!!!)

BB are too easy on the hg's Josh could have eaten a turkey sandwich and a piece of chocolate cake and he wouldn't have gotten in-trouble..even though he was on the PB+J diet..They better start stepping up..because they have to start reprimanding the hg's when they dont do what they are suppose too..I mean Eric ate a banana 2 weeks ago when he was on pb+j..so they need to step up..

Penalty nominations are mysterious entities that have been lurking in the shadows since BB1. Although the words "penalty nomination" have been spoken aloud by fearful houseguests they have never made an appearance.

Legend has it that should Big Brother ever speak the words aloud while pointing at a houseguest, that houseguest would be cowering in the role of nominated and could be evicted.

To tell you the truth I don't give much credence to myths and legends and that's really all this is.

A penalty nomination is one that puts the misbehaving HG on the block for eviction: instead of two nominees, there would be three. For example, if Chiara nominates Josh and Gerry,and someone gets a penalty nom, then it would be a choice of Josh, Gerry, and whomever for eviction.

I personally would LOVE to see the lovely and charming Chiara get a penalty nom for always "forgetting" her mike. Imagine the HOH up for eviction. Muahahaha!

@Wcv63 - I can't remember - but wasn't there a time when more then 2 HG's were up for nomination? I can't be sure... maybe it was in BB1 since the audience did the voting.

Thanks for the explanatino Chiparock. Ooohhh, that would be something if the HOH got on the chopping block!

Cmc: That is when the houseguests would make the nominations in BB1 with the top two going up for eviction. With "ties" abounding because they were forbidden to strategize or talk about votes many times there were 4 or more up for eviction. The public would then phone in at .99 a pop to decide who left the house. FYI, Curtis was the "most nominated" houseguest in BB1 history.

a-HA! Thanks SO much Draheid! I figured it was something like that, but wasn't sure of the specifics, or whether or not it had ever been used. I'd seen rumors that it had been used when Shannon used Hardy's toothbrush last year, but I guess that's not the case.

THANKS AGAIN! :c)

*LOL* And thanks to the rest of you, too! I was in the middle of writing that post and got called away from my desk -- I came back and hit "post this message" to find a flurry of other responses, too!

You guys are the best!!! THANK YOU!

Here's a quote from Marcellas that was just on the Live Feeds:

LOL. Mar saying he wishes chips a hoy wasn't the sponser of BB because that's the worst cookie in the world. It tastes like plastic.

LOL, do you think he's going to get a penalty nomination? :)

He just says it like it is!

I think Marc should get a penalty nomination for having no taste in cookies .
