Cajunrambler | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 07:29 pm     I wonder if everybody will be actively trying to win the POV this week. Some weeks it looked like nobody wanted to win it. |
Loppes | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 09:33 pm     Cajun, I agree. I think there should be a rule, when you get Veto, you must give it to one of the two nominated for eviction. I don't like the idea of them not using it. Lon |
Eden | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 09:52 pm     Why should one nomination automatically be vetoed, Loppes? The veto is a strategic tool to be used or not as the winner sees fit. Not using it is "playing" it just as using it is, in my opinion. At least the winner has the control. |
Kapow | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 10:02 pm     Them not using the veto just goes to show that it was a bad idea. If it is going to be a choice to use it or not - there needs to be consequences. i.e. if you win the veto and don't use it, then..... Otherwise there is little motivation to use it...until this week, maybe. |
Kmjm | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 10:03 pm     True that it hasn't been used, but it really adds some intrigue to the game! |
Spunky | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 10:04 pm     Did they have Veto competition yet? Who won?? |
Moedog | Friday, August 09, 2002 - 10:07 pm     Gerry used the POV to get Marc off the chopping block, and Gerry paid the price for it. Until this week there really wasn't a good reason to use it. I just hope someone has the guts to use it to save Josh in order to boot Roddy. |
Loppes | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 08:45 am     Eden, I think it should be used. The nomination of eviction is biased. Only one person, the HOH gets to decide. That person brings their bias into the decision. It is not a fair process. Lon |
Ryn | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 08:53 am     The veto competition is today, yes I think everyone is going to be trying for it this time around. There have been LONG lasting results from Gerry's use of the POV, Marcel is still in the game, Josh went completely bonkers and said things that are still being used against him. Even though it has only been used once it has added a lot to the game, at least they keep plotting all weekend where last year they didn't bother worrying about the vote until Tuesday. |
Maris | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 08:58 am     I disagree Ryn, I can guarantee that Roddy is not going for the POV. Last thing he wants is to veto Josh and he doesnt want to put it out there that he would not use it if he won it. It would be great if the competition was based purely on luck not skill so nobody could throw the competition. |
Bailey | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:11 am     I think the only way the POV would get used more is if they let whoever wins it also choose the replacement nom. It sure would give the POV a lot more power and make it a lot more fun. |
Cajunrambler | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:14 am     I think the nominees and the HOH should not be eligible for the POV. |
Ellenkats | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:30 am     Chiara just went into room with Dani and Lisa with her 'girls, we gotta get that veto' dealie. Ha! Chiara doesn't seem to realize she is SO OUT of the 'girl power' thingie now. I hope Chiara won't win veto -- Roddy will talk her into taking him out and putting someone else in instead. Grrrr. |
Zcompkid | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:32 am     When will we know who won the POV and if they use it. |
Maris | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:38 am     My prediction: Josh wins POV, nobody else wants it. |
Texastillie | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:42 am     If Josh gets POV will he make the mistake of taking Roddy off the block? I hope they let him know how they intend to vote. |
Dfwteddy | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:43 am     Maris: That is EXACTLY why Roddy WILL want the POV -- to ensure that no one else exercises the veto. If Roddy doesn't use it, he's in good company -- only Gerry has used it previously and he can say that not using it is consistent with his approach throughout the game. If someone gets the POV, this is the week that it might be used. It has surprised me that he allowed Chiara to nominate him, and he will want to ensure at this point that Josh is the nominee he goes up against (because of the alleged "promises") and not someone else. |
Rissa | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:50 am     IMHO the POV should not be just luck and they shouldn't be forced to use it, BUT.... I would love it if they had more competitions and not be told what it's for until afterwards. That way, everyone would play to win. Let them divide into teams but compete individually. If it turns out to be a luxury/award challenge then the winner's team wins. It would help eliminate the HG's from not trying to win it (which would tick me off if I was in an alliance with that person). If they had one or two competitions of some sort a day, it would also give the HG's more do to. BB has between the live show Thursday and say Sat. at noon for the POV, lots of time to stick the POV in a different time every week. |
Draheid | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:52 am     How about if they have a competition without everyone knowing the exact outcome. Then call all the competitors into the DR and do a normal interview ... except with the winner ... the winner has to announce his/her decision in secret in the DR ... then, just before the Wed show, annouce the POV decision while still not revealing who it was and require the HoH to act accordingly! How's that for an interesting twist?!?! JMO - FWIW |
Dallasbbfan | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:55 am     I forget. If Josh or Roddy win POV can they take themselves off? |
Marymc | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:57 am     nope...can't save yourself |
Mystery | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:57 am     No. You can't save yourself with the POV. |
Mystery | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 09:58 am     Mary you owe me a coke! |
Dallasbbfan | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 10:00 am     Thanks Mary and Mystery! |
Sanfranjoshfan | Saturday, August 10, 2002 - 10:07 am     Roddy would want the veto to insure the noms would stay the same. Dani and Jason would want it for the same reason, knowing if they vetoed either Josh or Roddy, then one of their cohorts would be put up. I think Josh would want it to veto Roddy, who he is sure will beat him in the vote....a Roddy veto would force HOH to nom another one of the group, forcing Chia to select another HG, possibly causing some friction in the process. Seems to me that this week the POV has more importance than in some previous weeks. I read a post earlier in another thread that was interesting....a suggestion to do the POV challenge BEFORE the noms, thereby insuring that everyone would really try for it, since (before the noms) they would have no idea whether the POV was important in their strategies or not. |
