Ryn | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 07:23 pm     Per the ad - what do you think the "Surprise Twist" will be? I'll make a guess - maybe a former HG gets another shot? |
Maris | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 07:35 pm     Free Live feeds???????????????? (one can hope) the evil Dr. Will replaces Julie Chen (one can hope) Arnold Shapiro grabs the evictee by the collar and hauls them out of the house. A la survivor, Womens section and mens section of the house. In the eviction, the audience gets one vote. That would certainly change things as they wind it down. Avery comes back from the dead to appear on Big Brother 4 (sorry I couldnt resist that one) |
Ryn | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 07:58 pm     YOu might have something - since AI has had free voting, perhaps they will try that this year - it would have "all of america talking." |
Meme9 | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 08:40 pm     Now my mind is racing...free voting and free feeds..OH, a girl can dream can't she!!!! |
Pamy | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 09:50 pm     The evictees have to stay in the house(like The Family) This would be sooo good because the evictees could mess with the others and not worry about getting kicked out and they would not get to see any of the diary room stuff before they vote for the winner in the game. |
Ryn | Thursday, June 12, 2003 - 10:32 pm     ohhh - another good twist PAmy - and Arnold was the head honcho on that show so he certainly knows about that option. |
Ladytex | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 06:38 am     Oh yeah, Pamy, that would be a good one! |
Riviere | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 07:41 am     Another train wreck in the making to hook us??? |
Deedee | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 07:47 am     I really hope the twist is not the richman - poorman division that has been used in other countries. |
Pamy | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 08:16 am     Ryn, I didn't realize AS was part of The Family, now I am really thinking that could be a possiblity! I also forgot the part about that one evictees that are booted gets a chance to re enter the game towards the end. |
Cba79 | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 10:45 am     I was thinking that this "twist" will involve the voting process --- BUT I still doubt that AS will let us have that power. Instead, I think he may turn over the evictions to those perviously voted out (other than the first eviction of course) or have the 2 nominees do some sort of competition where the winner stays and the loser leaves! |
Pamy | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 04:39 pm     I hope they don't let America vote, I think that's why the first BB wasn't as good as the rest but they way they said 'Have America talking' has me thinking the twist might involve the viewers doing something, maybe America votes for the nominees. I still hope it is that they all stay in the house. |
Grannyg | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 05:13 pm     I hope it's stay in the house too, Pamy. Just think of the money CBS will save NOT sending them to different places for the duration of the show. Besides I like the idea of them not being able to see the shows and DR. Then there is no advantage to any of them. |
Bettyrubble | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 05:57 pm     I would LOVE the twist of having them stay in the house! That's one of the things I was enjoying about The Family and since AS was involved in that it would make so much sense. Now I'm really getting excited! |
Meme9 | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 07:23 pm     I got to say, after thinking about it, I don't want America voting either. Just realized everyone isn't on the net! HAHAHA I can't even amagine watching this show now without the net. (I did on BB1, didn't know this kind of board was on the net) |
Pamy | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 07:28 pm     If America voted in BB2 I am sure Will would have been one of the first to go, can you imagine how boring it would have been with Evil Will!? |
Lurknomore | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 07:41 pm     Flip side to every story Pamy...if America DIDN'T vote Curtis would have been the first person voted out of BB1. Probably the most interesting and amusing person EVER on any BB (for those with any IQ). I still say if this is set up right America would only share the vote with the HG's and it would lead to all sorts of interesting situations/mistrust/etc. But if you read my post in the twist thread when I saw the ad(wish I knew how to link to it) I stand by much of what I said there. It's about how creative I think Arnie is hehe |
Bastable | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 08:56 pm     America can handle American Idol because it's about talent, but I think BB1 proved the results aren't pretty when it's just about charisma. |
Lurknomore | Friday, June 13, 2003 - 11:01 pm     That wasn't the post of mine I was referring to but I'll be glad to reply LOL. By no means do I think the overall casting or tv production of BB1 was well done. But they were at least REAL people and some funny, nice ones too. The problem is with BB2 & 3 when Arnie took over there was NO diversity, few interesting or real people, just manipulation, scheming, and mostly T & A. And I think that BB3 proved that while the result of that might be pretty (not that she ever was in my book), it sure isn't interesting. I still don't see why they can't blend the best of both worlds, find some good looking people, maybe some interesting people, who knows maybe even one in the same. So I'll end by saying that we see how the results aren't pretty when it's only about being manipulative or pretty |
Auntie | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 08:56 am     well, i hope they will let us vote every week, i really miss doing that. i hope the twist is that america can nominate someone for eviction, though! woohoo! |
Maris | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 09:57 am     That is a great twist, America nominates one and the HGs nominate one. That changes the whole game completely, no such thing as a safe nomination anymore. The audience nomination is revealed at the same time as the HOH nominee is. |
Grannyg | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 10:05 am     You know Maris, that would keep everyone from knowing who was gonna be evicted. Like when they discuss "I'm just putting you up against old John because I have to put somebody up. You'll never go, I'll make sure I have enough votes to keep you in." Remember the deal with Eric last year? Oh, I am getting sooooooooo excited!!!!!! |
Lurknomore | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 01:18 pm     Granny I just had to edit my post because at first I thought we were on the same page but rereading I see we aren't GASP lol. I think if America nominates one, and the HG vote then the HOH will put up the one person THEY want out most, after making sure they have enough votes to do it. This would give strong alliances the power to totally rule and bore the game. Remember how boring Survivor got when it was just one team picking off the other after merges? YAWN no matter how interesting a person was they were gone. I think this could create the same problem here. I still think the most interesting twist would be to Let the HOH nominate two people then let's secretly have phone in votes divided for EVICTION. As we've discussed in the other twist thread, can you imagine how confused they'll be. People will be running around SWEARING they didn't break alliances, no one will trust anyone, it would be so much fun to watch. This would only work if the HG's were never told that the viewers were responsible for X number of votes of the percentage. IE HG's votes=60% and US=40%. More people would be interested in the show, like American Idol, because they would feel a participant not just a spectator. And you can't tell me CBS wouldn't make more money than by asking us to vote on America's Choice....1) toaster 2) microwave 3) new producer. Ok that one I might vote a few times on hehehe  |
Maris | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 01:36 pm     Just imagine the wars on the boards. lol. The screams of foul because One HG may not have a church basement full of people voting out another player. Change the HOH rules every week AFTER the HOH nominations so the HGs are always hopping and cant plan their evictions. Week one - Tell them America gets one vote. Week two - let the HOH pick two people and then America can vote to give one of the players the golden veto. requiring the HOH to replace the player america saved with no opportunity for discussion. Week three - America nominates the two players and the HOH gets the power of Veto to save one I am sure that there are ten different ways to come up with to do the evictions. Week four - |
Grannyg | Saturday, June 14, 2003 - 01:45 pm     Lurk, I love your idea. I think anything that takes the votes totally out of the HOH's hands is wonderful. That is just to planned, except for the Eric deal, of course. But then no one would know exactly who voted for who. Of course if everyone confessed then the HG's would know something was up because they could narrow down the votes. And then realize that something wasn't right. So maybe after the nom's the HG's are told that the viewing public will get to vote on the elimination also and then no one will know how the public will go, so therefore if the HOH has put up somebody they really don't want to leave they will have no control over how the public votes and cannot gaurantee that person will NOT go. So the first elimination will catch everyone by surprise but from then on the HOH will know that they cannot guarantee who will be leaving. Does this make sense? It does to me but then I'm warped.........and old.......and senile. |
