Am I confused about the "twist"? Can Josh come back?!?!?
Annavenis | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 03:30 pm     I must have missed something here because Dani, and Gerry have said it will be nice to have Josh out of the house for a week.... do they think/believe that ALL the evicted HG's have a chance to come back? If this is what they are basing their voting decision on this week then they've got problems! It makes no sense to me. I thought is was just the evicted HG's up to Eric that have the opportunity to come back... or am I wrong? |
Seanflynn | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 03:33 pm     BB told them the 4 previously evicted HGs would be competing to return. Josh and Roddy would not be eligible, at least in this grouping. Whether one of the next four or some other grouping gets a chance remains to be seen. My guess? The next four are sequestered, and then in a month either the remains HGs or the audience gets to vote one of these four back in. Someone who can count the remaining weeks of the schedule though might be able to disprove this theory. |
Mollywood | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 03:39 pm     but if a second group of four evictees comes into the house doesnt it give the ones in the house an advantage over the first group that had the evictees put back in the game? I love bb3..when i think about bb1 it seems like prehistoric times, all they had to deal with was a pig. i thought Josh was right to pout when they told him he wouldnt be sequestered. |
Annavenis | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 03:52 pm     I'm not certain that I like this twist business... This first one is interesting and if you sit back and look at it, it kind of makes sense. Lori & Tonya (UGH) were evicted early so they got the smallest opportunity to play the game. Their coming back gives them a second chance because they were evicted for "smaller" reasons. Although, for the record, I was glad Tonya got booted and I want Amy back! If they do this a second time.. well that just stinks. Now those that get booted are evicted for strategic (Roddy) or personal (Josh) reasons so it's more "legit". Am I making sense? SO if Josh doesn't have the chance to come back, why doesn't BB straighten them out and tell them the rules of this freakin' twist?? I would love to see their reactions when they find out that Josh is gone for good and they made a big fat mistake.. MAN. |
Kitt | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 11:06 pm     I agree Anna, if they did the "twist" again with the next four evictees it really would stink. I hope this is a one-off, and the fun will be in the remaining houseguests, and the next evictees, thinking one of them might be coming back! Perhaps they will sequester the next four evictees anyway, but then use them for something else, like a nomination round. That would keep us all guessing for a few weeks more . Plus, of course, it wouldn't be a twist if they knew it was coming. |
Muse | Sunday, August 11, 2002 - 11:30 pm     I'm not a fan of this latest twist in general, either. But what would really annoy me is if the returning HG is made HOH, like some posters have suggested might happen. They'd not only be given a chance to return to the game (which presumably the others won't), but they'd be given tremendous power upon their return. That's just too much, IMO. I think that they should either be allowed to participate in the HOH competition with everyone else, *or* BB should just say that that person cannot be nominated their first week back (but possibly could be nominated if someone's vetoed, maybe?). Other than that, I don't think any special concessions should be made. Also - I hope that the returning person doesn't win the game. Although I will admit that I'd rather see Amy win than, say, Chiara or Roddy, it does seem a tad unfair for someone who had a "vacation" in the middle of the game to win it all. They get points off in my book, if that makes any sense. lol By the way - I read on another update board that Chiara and Roddy were talking about the returning person arriving next Sunday. I'm assuming that the poster either heard it wrong, or that Chiara/Roddy are just extremely confused...right? |
Woodpecke® | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 06:25 am     The twist is a silly idea without any purpose. The players that were evicted have little chance of winning unless we missed something in their personalities the first time. Lori bonded with no one. Amy let drinking get the best of her. Tonya told bitter divorce stories that bored everyone. Eric was not interested enough in winning the game to even try to save himself from eviction. Resentment from the other players will be an underlying factor in the treatment that any returning contestant receives. I predict a quick exit for any of these four. |
Angelbleu | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 07:30 am     There was a conversation last night after a long FOTH that a producer...I think her name is Arlene came in on Sunday to answer their questions about the new twist...and it seems that this will be the only time evictees will come back because Gerry said ..well one thing we can be sure of, once we put Josh out he will not be returning. |
Cameltoes | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 07:34 am     yeah I noticed that too Angel. It seemed they were also told not to talk about it anymore. Someone mentioned something about "immunity" which leads me to think the returning guest won't be able to be nominated right away. |
Kimsuetoo | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:17 am     I don't even get how the evicted house guest will be chosen. I was wondering if someone could fill me in. |
Jagger | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:28 am     So far bb has not revealed this, all they have said is there will be a competition between the 4 evicted hgs, they have not specified what type of a competition. I also wonder what bb told the hgs about the evictee returning, I wouldn't put it past AS to try this again later in the show when one of his favorites is booted. I think this whole new twist is a big farce, it is just a way to get someone back in that AS did not want booted yet. I think this twist may back fire on him and he may lose some viewers over it, depending on who is returned into the house. |
Angelbleu | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:28 am     Kimsuetoo....we don't either....all we know is it will be a competition of some sort.... |
Jan | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:29 am     kimsue apparently the 4 will compete in some contest (about which we know nothing) to determine which one comes back into the house |
Cndeariso | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:44 am     who told Josh he wouldn't be sequestered? someone in the DR or another HG? if it was someone in the DR then couldn't we infer that none of the next 4 evicted won't be able to come back in? |
Rissa | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 08:59 am     Annavenis.. I agree. The first (and arguably the 2nd) evictee never really gets a shot at any sort of strategy and the twist evens that out a bit. But, after the first couple weeks? I really can't see BB making the returnee HOH. There is no way to make that seem even a little bit fair. I think they will get a one week immunity which will guarantee them at least two weeks in the house. Amy could benefit because D/M/J will be trying to oust Chiara/Roddy/Josh and then Gerry before her. Lori might be out again the 2nd week if she doesn't take advantage and bond with one or the other group. Tonya will be added to the D/M/J hitlist immediately as will Eric although Eric might put a lot of faith in what Lisa will tell him and start playing differently. Depending on what Lisa tells the group about her post-return talks with him, Eric could be an unknown factor for both sides. |
Marymc | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 09:02 am     well, they can't make it a "what do you know about the other HG's" typ thing since lori will know practically nothing. can't make it physical, either..... should be interesting. |
Annavenis | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 09:36 am     I believe Roddy asked straight out in the DR whether the returning HG could be HOH this week and he was told "no". I do hope they get the first week immunity though because that will be just an easy and lame nomination. Totally defeating the purpose of bringing one back. I want Roddy voted out this week... if for no other reason than to torture Chiara.. muahahahaha |
Ryn | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 09:53 am     I did a week by week analysis and they really can't do another "return" and keep the current schedule. You can look it up HERE - : Will there be more "unexpected" - Some Hgs get 2 chances?? |
Espen | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 11:37 am     Hmmm... If they aren't going to let the houseguests in until Sunday, that is the same time they usually have the America's choice... So Maybe it will indeed by a "popularity contest" that decides who goes in.. in other words, the public does decide in some way.. Maybe a combination of the two? Or maybe they will allow call in during the show itself? Unlikely I know, given the deadlines, but that mention of sunday does make you wonder.. Most likely though, they just want to make sure the person isn't there during the nominations and veto competitions, which they wouldn't be qualified for.. |
Cndeariso | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 12:40 pm     I thought they were sending the returning HG in as the evicted one left. |
Cathie | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 01:12 pm     Where did you hear Sunday, Espen? Julie said last Thursday that the former HG would return as the evicted one leaves this Thursday. Edited to say that I see where you got it now, in Muse's post above. I think that had to be a KiKi/Rod error, because Julie was specific about it being on Thursday. |
Espen | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 01:25 pm     Well, Julie has said it would be decided who goes back in the house, but did she actually say someone would go in that day? Semantics, I know, but it does make a difference.. Most likely, though, its just a kikirod error... |
Cndeariso | Monday, August 12, 2002 - 01:32 pm     Straight off the CBS website: One of the four evictees will be going back into the House on next Thursday's live show at 8pm ET/PT, in this incredible new twist to BIG BROTHER 3! |
