Seanflynn | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:53 am     Here's a thought: Whoever wins the competition must ON THE SPOT (no chitchat allowed) name next week's HOH |
Mollywood | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:54 am     I think Will used that as a strategy and spoke about it in dr could be mistaken. |
Seanflynn | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 10:56 am     To supplement this, they would be told before that there was a twist, but not sure what, so all would feel the need to compete for once AND after they were told, add the info that there would be no POV this week |
Seanflynn | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:01 am     Sorry for the multi messages The winner could not choose him/herself |
Kendalia | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:04 am     Here's an interesting HOH comp: Everyone has to write down a number--whoever puts down the lowest positive whole number that no one else writes down gets HOH. Lots of thinking in that one... |
Alaginger | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:15 am     Marcellas said he ws going to the top with whoever won the next HOH. Where did I hear that? Was it on last night's show or on these threads? Anyway, that makes me think he doesn't want HOH either. I think they should stand each HG in the stalls with a red and a blue paddle. Tell each HG to raise the paddle and the most of one color stays. Then keep doing it until all are eliminated but one. That way it would be pure luck (or nonluck as some might think) as to who gets HOH. Would be fair to all and easy to do. Wouldn't matter who was eliminated first, because the next round each HG would have no idea what color the other HG's would lift. Just a simple suggestion. |
Secretsmile | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:47 am     ALAGINGER!! That is PERFECT!!!!! I'm jumping around doing the happy dance now! From your fingers to BB's eyes (hehe) |
Ambie | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:55 am     Since the houseguests are very tired from being made to get up so early to move out of the HRD maybe they won't be functioning at full capacity tonight the the HOH. The houseguests probably only had a couple of hours sleep and won't be thinking clearly. They are sitting outside now complaining they are so tired and groggy. |
Carcarsmom | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 11:56 am     sounds good aaginger but what would they do when got down to 2 people? |
Scifi_Writer00 | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 12:24 pm     Simple. Have them each lift until both show a different color. Then Julie opens a sealed envelop saying the whoever is holding the blue paddle is HOH. |
Saggkl | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 12:33 pm     I don't know but I hope they do something its getting boring. I think I am going to watch a movie tonight, then check the boards to see if anything happened. (which i doubt) |
Fruitbat | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 12:46 pm     Alaginger and Scifi......I like this. Choosing a number between 1 and 100 is good too. BB having chosen the number first that Jason has in a enevlope. Closest wins. Those ducking would be choosing 1 or 100 as the odds are lower they would get it. That would be tricky. They would have to be sure BB did not choose one of them on purpose. Duplicate numbers or equally close would play again. I don't forsee this happening but I love the idea. |
Wink | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 01:53 pm     Alaginger and Scifi I think that's a great idea as well. I also think they each need to be smacked with a paddle just for good measure. |
Mystery | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 02:09 pm     I love this idea! And under the theory proposed by Fruitbat, BB could choose 1 or 100 and get someone who didn't want to be HOH. That would be great to watch. |
Alaginger | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 02:59 pm     Just now getting back online, and didn't realize my idea would be that popular. BB can be inventive on the last two if it gets down to that with (1) flip a coin, (2) a number from 1 to 100 like mentioned above, or (3) Have the 3 eliminated houseguests that are already out of the running go into separate rooms and hold up their paddles. It will have to be 3 to 0 or at least 2 to 1, and a "Winning Color" will be picked and then the two remaining HG's in the stalls keep picking up their paddles until they no longer match and one of them is holding the pre-arranged "Winning Color" |
Catbowl | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 03:18 pm     I think flyonthewall may have it right. Think about it...they didn't have any rehearsal. Could the family members be out there right now doing rehearsal? That way nobody can throw the comps and the family members will be thinking that they all want it. No throwing of the comp this way. |
Beagle | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 03:21 pm     At this point, I feel the only way to insure no one throws the HOH compitition is to put all the names in a hat plus one red HOH card and each one draws. Whoever gets the red card is HOH like it or lump it.

Scarlett | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 04:09 pm     I think...right before the competition, BB will remove the caveat that the new HOH can also be HOH the subsequent week...therefore establishing a setup that one HG could make a Colby run of immunity. It would change the HG's minds about throwing any competition. |
Kitt | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 04:12 pm     I hope they throw a spanner in the works, but they didn't mention it last week, and they do like to promote such things for higher figures. It really could do with a little twist right now. |
Fruitbat | Thursday, August 29, 2002 - 04:22 pm     We probably need to take the needle out of our arms and resign ourselves to a Q and A about the HG's. << sigh >> |
