Yes Clio....an interesting twist indeed....

Cleo, maybe you are onto something. Seriously I really do believe the twist will somehow involve the sequestered houseguests, likely in some way none of us has thought of. After all, they make big bucks for thinking original stuff up, so they should be able to think of something we have not.

Maybe that's why they're not doing a live vote tomorrow. Whatever the twist is, they need more time on the show to devote to it and therefore the votes have to already be cast?

Adding to Clio's idea...what if the HG are told Dana and Nate were allowed to see into the house during a certain time period and the HG compete to be able to ask one question to either Nate or Dana.

Hmmmmmmmmmm or, the HGs compete to have Dana or Nate ask a question of THEM and thereby be able to influence their vote .......... but no, I'm not sure. I'm too much of a fan of the idea of total isolation from the outside world.

It's interesting that the twist is coming when there will be 3 jurors and 6 houseguests. I wonder if they will somehow split up the remaining HGs into 2 groups of 3.

C-toes...that's sort of the line i was thinking...but was thinking on the lines of one group strictly males and the other females thus probably forcing changes in the alliances.

Ok...here's my twist idea......just like on Amazing Race, they predetermined after Scott left that this round would be a voting round, but a non-elimination round. They did just pass the halfway point!

Here's my twist idea: POV can remove a nominee and can nominate someone of their choosing.
Also, because of the extra week, they are going to have a week where there is no eviction or they will bring in a new HG. There is no way they can end BB a week early. Maybe they are going to bring Scott back!

If they really want some spice, and a sweet twist... Where are the women from Jack's past? Not only would that balane out the X factor but it would also even out the women vs. men

here's a thought....maybe there going to do like Arnie and Allison did with their other show The Family....after Justin is evicted, Julie tells him "We said you were going to be sequestered. What we didn't tell you was where. If you look outside to the front door, you'll see three sets of bags...yours, Nathans, and Dana's. That's right, you're all going back into the house to live in sequestration until the final vote. In order for the jury to have the best view of what is happening in the house without seeing the Diary Room entries, what better place to put you in sequestration but the house itself? Don't worry, since you're no longer in the game, you aren't bound by the PBJ rules...youll be able to eat whatever you want for the remaining time in the game. You also will not compete in HOH, veto, or food challenges, but we will allow you to compete in luxury challenges. Once the two of you go back in, no one will leave the house (barring something unforseen happening) until the final two people are determined and the jury has had their chance to question them...then the seven jury members will leave the house to deliberate the last night before the finale, and only the finalists will stay the final 24 hours in the house."

Wilsonatmd, That would completely ruin any suprise as to who wins between the final two. It would be interesting to see them all campaign for everybody's vote though.

I would love if they would all stay in the house- I honestly wouldn't care who got voted out then! I would rather keep watching all of them- the only reason I ever care who gets voted out is if it's an entertaining person. besides, they could tell people lies, about what they have heard, etc and it wouldn't matter because they couldn't be re-evicted. I have been wishing for this since this season started.

With Scott being ejected from the show, kind of makes sense that they might bring a sequestered houseguest back in. They are taking eviction votes today, not live, so they must need more show time to work with the twist. I'm guessing they are voting today to get the evicted HG out faster, so Wednesday can be dedicated to the new twist. Once Justin (or Robert) is evicted, there will be three sequestered houseguests on the outside. Nathan, Dana, Justin (or Robert). They could compete to get back in the house. Or even everyone who has been kicked outta the house. Just like Amy got to go back in last year. They have an extra week to fill, that has to have something to do with the twist. I just hope it really rocks the house, whatever it is, because this year has been all too predictable, shake it up!! We want action...shaken not stirred plz
Or, even better....bring back Will! Yes Yes, bring back Will! entertain us Will!

I think it would be pretty obvious that Justin would end up being the one coming back in.

How would they vote them back in....

Jack, Erika- Nathan
Ali, Jee, Robert- Justin
Jun- possibly Dana?

Whatever the new twist is, I hope it will be better than the old twist. IMHO, I don't think the X-Factor panned out like they hoped it would. I bet they were hoping there would be some flames hookups and confrontations with the EX's...maybe even some jealousy -- but none of that has happened. Even the initial plan to evict all the ex's has fallen through the cracks. They desperately need to save this show somehow whether it be with competitions, surprises, prizes, cash, or something to knock your socks off. I still have not found a single HG that makes me want to watch the live feeds like I have in the past. I never sit down at my computer to specifically watch the live feeds. It's only if I'm doing something else that I might click on it.

The show has specifically stated that

(1) no one would be re-entering the house after the game started

(2) the jury would not be allowed to see stuff after they were evicted. (Beyond knowing who is evicted each week)

So, any twist can't really envolve the evictee unless they (1) do not go into the house and (2) are not made aware of anything that has happened since they left.

IMO any twist may actually have something to do with the exes theme. What exactly, I don't know - but they were trying to make it the theme of the season. I also believe the twist had to be planned out well in advance. The show cannot deliberately influence who will win without getting into leagal trouble. I know many love the conspiracies, but realistically, the show cannot do that. I also wouldn't be suprised if the 'twist' is INCREDIBLY anti-climatic. For instance - This week, no live voting... Or possibly a new idea for the HOH comp. We'll see...

If they do stick with the X-Factor theme, I think it would be interesting to bring in a second EX. For example, supposedly Robert and Erika broke up because he cheated on her. Is the girl he cheated with also an EX? OMG, it would be an explosive situation if the two women were in the same house. In fact that might border on stupidity.

It is to late to bring in a new ex now. That would greatly disadvantage one of the actual HG. Like Gina just said, the new twist had to be planned in advance. It has to be something affecting the current HG in an equal manner.

Kaili

The girl he cheated with would probably end up allied with Erika- they do have something in common.... They could spend nights talking about him. If I was ever cheated on, which as far as I am aware I have not, I don't know if I would be as mad at the other woman as at the boyfriend. Unless she knew I existed. And especially if she was someone i already knew.

Bring in Ali's boyfriend - er, newest ex-boyfriend Donnie (of course, Justin has to stay). Now THAT would be entertainment ...

They are practicing for a competition with Bocci balls. We don't know if it is for the next HoH or PoV competiton but I suspect that the time it would take for each of the HG to throw one ball would be about right for a quick HoH competition.

I say a quick HoH competition because they have to make time for the twist, whatever it is.

Also, they were given only five balls to practice. If we assume that one HG is leaving (before the comp) and that Erika is not supposed to participate in the comp (being the current HoH), we have five balls for the remaining five competing HG for HoH. This would mean that the HoH process would remain the same for this week.

Then again, maybee I am reading too much into this.

Everyone has an ex besides Jack. Maybe they'll bring her back. Course - she's not really an ex since they live together(?), but they ARE divorced.

Are we actually sure there's going to be a twist? There was zero mention of it on tonight's show.

Julie from last Wed. show..... "One week from tonight at 9 eastern, 8 central, I'll be back to announce the next live evicition and to reveal a new twist in the game!"
