There was no mention of an Am. Choice this week. Julie said that on the 2 hr. live show next Thurs will be the Live POV so that leaves the voting also live next week...Think maybe BB is going to offer them either a car or cash to one of them if they will leave the house....

Maybe cash if they use the POV?

I think they will show if the POV will be used live and the eviction vote as well.

But nominations should go ahead tomorrow and the POV challenge on Saturday.

I think one week wait for the tv show is too much and people may lose interest and this is why a live vote would keep the ratings up.

I wonder if the houseguests know that there will be only one show on Thursday? Do they know that the POV and eviction voting will be live on that day yet? I don't have the live feeds ... has anyone heard the HGs talking about it?

I wondered that too. If they would tell the HG's about the live stuff next week. Can't you just see their faces drop if they spring it on them without first telling them. All the planning of who will vote for whom would be down the drain. Because then everyone would know how they voted. Maybe just the sign on the tv "expect the unexpected"?

A live vote does not necessarily mean that it would be in front of the nominated does it?

Or could it be that noms, pov AND voting are all live and in succession.

Could the twist be that POV can save themselves?

Something big better be afoot.

They will give them the choice of voting in front of the others and going to the diary room...I think the live vote and veto also cuts down on time...there will be no long winded planning and stratagizing about who to vote after veto and no really big voting speeches...though it would also mean that there would be no goodbye speeches either unless they have them film them for everyone BUT Jason cause he is HOH and CANT go....

Last year, they had a couple live votes when they were down to 5, and the HG's went into the DR to place their vote. I think it's a great way to keep the HG's on their toes. The only thing that everyone's forgetting is this:

Here's my scenario:

If Marc & Amy are on the block, and one of them wins POV. They decide to USE POV (especially if it's Amy - she'll use it this time), and Jason has to nominate one other person - LISA, then the vote will be between Danielle (voting for Amy) and Marcellus (voting for Lisa), then that means that Jason has to play his hand and vote Amy out immediately...

Just a thought....

"Think maybe BB is going to offer them either a car or cash to one of them if they will leave the house...."

what would be the point of offering money or a car to leave the house at this point in the game?

In BB1- the producers wanted someone to leave the house because people were complaining that the houseguests were boring. so they wanted to spice up the show by replacing a boring houseguest with a pretty "troublemaker".

My guess or hope is that next week after the veto and vote for eviction that they say the previous hoh (jason) can participate in this weeks competition.

I think the money idea won't fly with this few people left, especially when there are as few of people left in the house, the hgs would actually like it if they didn't have to vote, if someone took the money and ran.

Well for someone like Amy (not saying she won't) but if she FEELS like she will not make it to the final 2 or because she is just ready to go home, the money would be a added bonus. Cause there is always the chance of being in the final 3 and NOT getting any big bucks. This way they would at least get some extra money besides the $750.

This is just a thought but what about one of these for the twist: we get to vote for the next HOH or the next two noms? The phones lines would be humming either way.

I think that the Big Brother producers are quite aware of the amazing public support of the call-in on American Idol. If I were a part of the production decision making process, I would certainly be giving quite a bit of consideration to giving the audience voting another try.

I think that negative experiences (real or imagined) with the first Big Brother are not really relevant, because we are talking about just a twist in the last days of the show rather than as an entire show procedure.

One thing I am not aware of is whether or not the American Idol calls were pay calls or free. It seemed to me that the calls were merely long distance, and not the 900 number kind of call. I think that 900 number fee system they used on the first big brother was quite a turn off for some people. Some automated phone-in voting systems, which were used to do political polls in the last election, would not record subsequent calls from the same number, and would also not record calls from numbers with caller id blocked.

My guess is that phone-in voting may be being considered as the hot topic on the table in the production offices right this minute.

The American Idol calls were free. I think they were 866 numbers.

Actually, for the final vote on AI, you got a recording that told you to dial a 900 number. I didn't know if that was free so didn't pursue (Kelly won anyway).
People who "watch" online would be v. frustrated with a call-in system because a majority of callers would make decisions based on what they see on TV (e.g., if "America" voted earlier, Chiara would have been more popular than she was with those of us who saw the 24/7 Chiara).

i used the 866 number to call for the final vote on AI.

I don't like the call-in idea as a twist - Canadians can't vote :(

Canadians can vote if we pay like 2 or 3 bucks.

Now that we know Marcellas has the GPOV, it a pretty sure bet he will use it to save him a**, if he doesn't he is gone. Danni asked Jason twice last night not to put her up, so I'm sure it will be Amy and Lisa. Some believe there will be a money offer so this is where that will happen, if it is taken I'm guessing noone will have to vote. If not Mars. and Danni go into DR and vote. Question is will Danni keep her word to Jason and Lisa and Vote to evict Amy or will she knowing Mars. will more the likely win HOH next, evict Lisa leaving Jason with no hope of staying in the house

It would be fun if Julie offered a car or cash to Marce if he chooses NOT to use the GPOV! That would pit his common sense against his arrogance that he surely could win against Amy.

Marc, as recently as this morning said to Dani he was considering just letting things stand.

But he also, after much talk seemed to indicate that he'd rather have Amy go than Lisa. His reasons were ridiculous.. like suddenly today he forgives Lisa the role in the six pack and that she nominated him the first time but he's STILL enraged that Amy dared to want even a vote the first time she and Marcellas were up together!

Dani even pointed out that Amy's been ok to live with the past week, once Roddy was gone, but Amy's "good friend" Marcellas says that is too late.

When Dani later mentioned to Jason that Marcellas was out for revenge (which he was and was still this morning when he was doing one of his outdoor soliloquies), Jason seemed convinced that all was well since he and Marcellas had their talk.. so it seems that Jason has once again been convinced by a high pressure diatribe.. oh and not to mention, and Jason certainly didn't mention to Dani.. that Marcellas said he wouldn't put Jason on the block if he won HOH.

Jason said something inane to Dani about if Marcellas got HOH and wouldn't put her.. or him up.. which of course is impossible. The next HOH must put up two of the three remaining people.

So.. I suspect Dani hopes that Marcellas will choose not to use the veto.. but she and Lisa would have to be solid on voting M out because I think the veto will be live, followed by live voting and they may not be able to make decisions with knowledge of what M does..

If Marcellas does use the veto, Jason must put up either Dani or Lisa. He promised right after the veto competition that he would NOT put Dani up. So.. Lisa and Amy.. in that case Dani has a problem because Marcellas seems to want Amy out more than Lisa (unless Dani convinces him before Thursday). In that case Amy seems doomed because I'm guessing that Jason would boot Amy over Lisa in case of a tie.

I'm sure Dani's mind is whirling like a Dervish.

And then.. a cash prize.. hmm

I agree that a one week gap is really, really bad. Good grief, of course they would be pre-empted on 9/11--DUH! They also know when the football and other stuff is scheduled.

With everything else being dull re-runs, certainly CBS should be able to come up with alternate time slots.

Will any of them take a cash prize? I would run with it like a rabbit.

They might only offer Marcellas the money because he has POV AND is up for eviction. "Marcel you can have the money and walk out now or you can save yourself and try for the big prize". In that case, please please please take the money Marcel

Maybe because of 9/11 BB thinks it might be a bit tacky to offer them anything this week.

The wait is almost over, tonights the big show. No way for sure to know who will go, but it should get very interesting. The HGs have spent so much time together this past week with very little planning and plotting. Will Marcellas use the GPOV? If he does will Lisa be put up and sent packing? Or is Amy already out the door? Will Danni even try for HOH? So many questions, well the clock is ticking and it's only a mater of time.
