Best way to select the returning HG...?:
Archive through August 08, 2002
Sanfranjoshfan | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:35 pm     I think the best way to select the returning HG would be to hold the regular eviction, then tell the evictee that he or she can now choose which previously evicted HG can return! I think that would be the most fair. The ousted HG could more or less try to "replace himself/herself" as best as possible for the remaining members of his/her alliance. That also would not just swing the entire balance of power from one side to the other. I'm sure the ousted HG would keep it fairly even. Example - If Chia noms Marce and then he's evicted, it would be great to see him thumb his nose at her on the way out by choosing to replace himself with Amy, Chia's arch enemy and rival. LOL In any case, to ME....this is the best, most fair, and most entertaining way to do it. Oh yeah....a vote by the ex HGs and/or remaining HGs would not necessarily work, since both groups have an even number of people....too easy for a tie or split vote. Any other ideas out there? |

Muse | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:41 pm     America's Choice. That way the public won't feel as cheated, and someone popular (or more popular than the other three, at least) will enter the house. Plus the idea of it coming down to chance, a competition, or the HGs themselves deciding isn't really appealing to me. Of course, I don't think the public actually will get to vote. That's just what I'd *like* to see. |
What555456 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:42 pm     Maybe it will be the one who looks most like a microwave oven. |
Cute1073 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:44 pm     The best way in my opinion is something that asks questions about anything that doesn't have to do with Amy that way she won't win and I won't have to watch her anymore. (yes I'm that bitter about the abuse other hgs take and am finally sinking to that level) |
Cathie | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:44 pm     I can see them holding another competition, similar to the HOH and Veto ones, the BBHG (Bring Back a House Guest) competition. Winner gets to announce live on the Thursday show who they want to bring back, and that person immediately returns to the house. The competition is held sometime after the Wednesday voting, but before the Thursday live show, giving the HG something new to stress over after the voting... Better, yet...have the competition be a Q&A test in the DR so the HG don't even know who the winner of the competition is until the live show, then they have to be prepared to immediately announce their choice. |
Tracy | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:46 pm     I think a competition would be more fair than the public. After all, Eric got three times the "on camera" time than Lori and most of the voting public (I would think) would be those who only watched it on tv. |
Spunky | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:49 pm     As much as I like a new "twist" in the game, this one is a very unfair one to those in the house. Whoever comes back I hope gets booted out in a hurry.. |
Cathie | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:52 pm     Or, maybe we are approaching this from the wrong direction...it could be a competition between the 4 evicted HG, similar to the HOH competitions. Scenario: Lockdown during the live show. HG assume it is to keep them from seeing the preparations for HOH competition. At the right time, they are allowed to go outside and there they watch the 4 evictees compete to see who gets to come back. After the competition the 3 losers leave and the new HG gets to immediately compete with the rest for HOH, or, better yet, the new HG is named HOH for the week. |
Maris | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:54 pm     I think it should be a vote on the CBS website. That way you can expect that folks with web access are more informed as to what is going on in the house. |
Spunky | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:57 pm     But Julie said "let's see who will be "selected"" and so makes me think there is no competition. Anyway, I don't like this idea, I think it's a dumb idea and I'm not looking forward to it. I hope the hgs will revolt "en masse"... |
Snee | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:57 pm     i think they should just ask me. |
Snee | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:58 pm     okay, okay. i have to agree with sanfran about the evictee picking a replacement...and right on the spot. that would be great! |
Sanfranjoshfan | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 09:58 pm     "I hope the hgs will revolt "en masse"... " Some of them already ARE revolting. LOL |
Cathie | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:00 pm     Well, Snee, of course that's what they SHOULD do, but Arnie's just so darn stubborn! |
Gouraphik | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:05 pm     Nah. I'm evil , so I'd prefer one of the following situations: A) There is no HOH competition. The Exiles have their own competition to be shown into the house. That Exile is now the HOH. B) The Exiles are all shown into the house, and are the only ones allowed to partake in the HOH competition, in full view of the remaining HG's. Boom! The winner is the HOH. C) The HOH competition proceeds as normal. The winner of the competition gets to choose one of 4 envelopes to open. They read out the name, that person comes in, and is revealed to be the real HOH for the week. To be "fair", we can give the HG's a vague hint...the HOH logo can be removed from the competition area, giving the curious ones a clue to run with. Perhaps the envelopes can have the HOH logo on them instead. Sure, these scenarios take the power away from the HG's and the audience, but so what? It's Big Brother's game. It'll cause havoc, and isn't that what really matters?  |
Twinkle | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:22 pm     What a twist. *fap* I think some of the speculative ideas offered by various posters were a lot more provocative than this return-of-the-lost-sheep silliness. While it would be fun for us to vote, and the TVCH boards would be in a frenzy until a winner was announced, it ain't gonna happen. Maybe the remaining hgs will have a competition similar to the Veto Challenge where they fired at targets of the person they didn't want to win. It would make more sense for the hgs to do the competition. Which means it probably won't work that way. |
Webkitty | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:28 pm     Someone, (can't remember who) just posted tonight here that they had been over at the cbs BB site, and there was a post yesterday? that said that one of the evicted HG would be coming back into the house next Thursday as the new HOH. There was more to the post than that, it sounded like whoever posted it at the other site had an inside scoop. Don't forget, Lori, Tonya and Amy are all in another country! (and probably Eric for the next few days) There are logistics involved here. I wonder if each one of them could be given some sort of quiz or challenge seperatly, and whoever wins gets to go back as HOH. But what Spunky said is making me think, I DO seem to remember Julie saying lets see who will be SELECTED. (I'll have to watch my tape) That would lead me to think WE would get to choose, but then the issue of logistics and time comes into play. This couldn't be announced to "us" until the Saturday show, unless they only had the phone lines open for 1 day, not enough time to get the selected HG to CAL in time for the Thursday show. I guess it is possible....but unlikely.... Or, the HG's get to select somehow....... The last dreadful thought I have is that ARNOLD is the one "selecting" ugh |
Gouraphik | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:40 pm     You know, one thing that I've been questioning lately is the idea of "fairness" in this game. <Doing my best impression of Tina Turner> What's fair got to do, got to do with it? This game is all about misleading, lying, betrayal, duplicity, and a whole bunch of other nasty things. I understand that many people are upset, but who said that Big Brother was supposed to be one of Lisa's oft-cited "good people"? Hey...at least it's not another "new houseguest" who turns out to be a pot-bellied pig. Ophelia (I think that was her name) was cute, but her presence didn't really affect the core dynamics of the game. This twist will. So let Shapiro manipulate the game...it's not like he's gonna listen to us anyway. Just relax (if you can! ) and enjoy the fireworks. It's gonna get hot reeeeal quick! |
Cathie | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:41 pm     Perhaps they will have the 4 HG each sit in a corner of a bare room. BB releases the lizards in the center of the room and the HG who can encourage/entice the lizards to their corner of the room wins. Makes about as much sense as anything else... |
Bmh | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:41 pm     I agree Gouraphik..lets just stop complaining and sit back and enjoy..believe me no matter what the twist will shake up the house...it will be fun to watch! |
Dlkuhn4 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:44 pm     I don't know how they will do it but I hope the people in the house aren't asked anything so that would keep them totally clueless and let it be a surprise like they get up in the morning someone is in the shorwer or cooking breakfast and it's no other then a evicted house guest. Or if it's Eric and he crawls in bed with Lisa. Who ever is the first one to see the "new" houseguest and went and told the other's they would think the house got to them and they had totally lost it. Or if Kiki saw someone in Lisa's bed and Roddy wasn't around she would think it was Roddy and totally freak out!!! Boy the head games that could be played. |
Sunni | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 10:44 pm     I think they'll probably will do America's Choice. Personally I'd like to see the evicted or all HG play a game to get the HG they want back in making it a 'chance' kind of thing. They can play darts, spin the bottle or Human chest..er I mean chess. Something fun. |
Puck1021 | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 11:18 pm     here is what I think would be the fairest way to bring back one of the evicties. The will evict one, the just said one goes and one comes back, they ((("did not")))say it would be at the same time. so, they could do it two different ways. They could let the last person evicted, the person evicted next week choose from the evicted as to who to send back in. Everyone has sombody the would put in if they could. Gerry-Tonya Marc-Amy Josh-Lori Lisa-Eric Roddy-Eric Chiara-Eric Dani-I would guess she would send back in Amy Jason- who the heck knows, I like this boy but he is one hard man to read. or the other way is. Every Hg's left has voted in one of the past evictions, everyone left in the house has voted against one of the evicted. So, the person evicted next week leaves at the begining of the show like normal (and I think that they also should be allowed to be one that could go back in), put (josh I hope...I am not bias, clearly) in with the evicted that have a chance to return. Then do the HoH challange, when the new HoH is named the last person the new HoH voted to evict gets to return to the house and when the HoH goes to his or her room the evicted person they voted out will be in there and ready to get back in the game. Just a couple of thoughts, what do ya think

Drpepper | Thursday, August 08, 2002 - 11:32 pm     They said tonite that the houseguest would find out on Wed. show that one of their former houseguest would be returning on Thur.. So, I think that we will call in and vote, and they will lie and put in whoever they want for ratings. |
