HOW LAME IS THIS TWIST? If it is the best that BB could come up with, then they are losing it.:

Ric_Munoz | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:40 pm     Thank God for Amazing Race 4...fantastic season, fantastic finale...somehow I don't think BB4 is going to be anywhere close to TAR4 in thrills, chills and non-stop excitement. (I hope I'm wrong and Shapiro somehow pulls off a miraculous finish.) |
Sanfranjoshfan | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:50 pm     Let me get this straight....the result of the "twist" was nothing more than PB&J for everyone but Jee for a week (something that could easily have happened in a plain old food competition anyhow, depending on how they set it up)....plus Jee won the POV (something that could easily have happened anyhow since this year's POV is "golden" and anyone, including HOH or nominees, can compete for it). Uh....where was the TWIST? The only difference that I can see is that the food competition and POV were combined into a single challenge....not exactly earth shattering. Oh well....I knew it would be disappointing. BB has yet to come up with anything new this year....aside from the disappointing eX Factor.

Kalekona | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:51 pm     I'm so happy at the ending of Amazing Race... Honestly after the debacle of the American Idol voting I was loosing all hope in reality TV (yeah I know they insist AI isn't a reality show but we all know it is) ... who would have thought it? ME! I picked them before the show started (them and the clowns) but even I didn't really think they could win.. as anyone thought about the fact that when they did offer the evicted HG the chance to re-enter by eating PB&J they made their bids but didn't have to really eat the peanutbutter.. could this happen this time? And Erika and Jack will realize they are leaving for nothing? editted to remove spoiler <M> |
Justin42 | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:56 pm     I think the BB producers wanted to go for a vacation this week-- just think, no food competition to plan for, no veto competition.. the show's on automatic pilot til Wednesday.. let the interns piece together Tuesday's show... |
Kappy | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 10:25 pm     Or, maybe they're just trying to save money in order to pay for the eviction house? Seriously, this is so not a twist. You guys have said it all above . . . BORING! |
Pengoh | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 10:29 pm     I really don't understand, and I know it's all been said before... it was a competition, not a twist, and the only thing different is that it was before noms. I mean sometimes they have the food competitions at night.. is that a 'twist'? This is what they've been builiding us up for over a week? They'd better have something else coming! |
Beruthiel | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 10:38 pm     Oh, sh*t! I was saving my tape of the Amazing Race to watch later, and now I know the winner beforehand despite staying away from that area of the site! I should have watched it live for a change. Two shows ruined for me in one night, with no one left to root for. I knew it, I'm doomed. |
Rainwoman | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 10:58 pm     Beruthiel, I don't blame you for being upset. After all...... this is a Big Brother board and NOT The Amazing Race. |
Beruthiel | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:04 pm     Thank you Rainwoman. I'm doing an AMAZING Dana act right now! Er, you aren't kidding, are you?  |
Kalekona | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:04 pm     I'm sorry Beruthiel, I stayed off the boards myself til after the show on the west coast so i wouldn't know the winner, i thought by now everyone would have seen it... I'm so Sorry..... It's still well worth watching.... to see how it was done |
Beruthiel | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:31 pm     It's okay Kale, I was rooting for them anyway, so I have that satisfaction, at least. I guess I forgot the golden rule: if you don't want to know, stay off the computer. It's just a tiny glitch in the great scheme of things, after all. Thanks for the apology though, because I was pretty annoyed - but I'm over it! ;-) |
Kalekona | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:33 pm     I don't blame you for being annoyed i would have been too... |
Dream | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 12:04 am     I would be very surprised if that's all there is to it. On Saturday, they'll show the nominations and the bribe. The producers knew that however the bribe went, Tuesday's show would have a gaping hole, because there would be no veto competition. Since Jee won it, the veto ceremony will be a non-event -- one less reason to tune in Tuesday. (If Jack or Erica had won, it probably wouldn't even have influenced the nominations. No matter who won, the outcome of the veto ceremony would be predictable.) No America's Choice was planned this week. No food competition. That means there is nothing at all planned for Tuesday, and there are only 2 things to show on Saturday. So the producers knew in advance that this would be a quiet week. They must also realize that the nominations have been predicitable for the last three weeks. Why would they purposely leave a week with so few events, and leave Tuesday empty? The only explaination I can think of is that more must be coming. |
Bigsister | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 06:48 am     Dream, I am thinking the same thing. I have thought all along that the twist would somehow involve the evictees, and I don't give up easily. So I am not ready yet to concede that we have seen the entire twist. |
Jagger | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 06:54 am     I agree this was a bad twist, maybe to someone who just watches the show it may be OK, but with all the hype CBS put into this twist I expected something interesting to happen. I'm glad with the results of it, but the twist itself is boring. |
Crazydog | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 07:01 am     I hope Jun makes Jee cook his own food. |
Hobbs | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 07:10 am     I am witholding my opinion until I know what the exact offer was. It doesn't make sense, "Take the veto and immunity and food. If you don't you eat PB&J for a week." I don't get it. But I do think it backfired on the producers since only one person took the offer. I don't think they think out their twists. They think they know what the HG's will do. Based on that they think it is a great idea (ie. the X-factor). They need to realize that the HG's become a very strong knit group (almost family) and become defensive/protective of each other and the house. Almost a HG vs. BB mentality. That's what Chicken George was talking about when he tried to stage the walk out. Nobody wins unless we break BB. |
Ziroc | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 07:18 am     Ohhhh... The TWIST! lol. Oh, let me rant for one moment. I do think it's extremely lame, and even dangerous for Arnold (Producer). Because we've ALL seen just how interesting these folks are on PB&J. They have no energy, so they sleep all day, no beer, no nothing. SLEEP. The houseguests become in fact, SLUGS. Any you know how *fun* it is to watch the feeds when they sleep. lol. not. I can promise you that when they show this *twist*..no way, lemme call this *twisted*--once they air this, the shows rating shall plummet. Watch NEXT Wed's show ratings very closely. What happened to a live band? Survivor people visiting? We want to see something on THAT level, from previous shows!! I can see it now, Julie says "And there is ANOTHER twist coming" and this next twist will be that one of the Houseguests will get a hangnail. (I can hear the announcer now, "how will this effect the house? will it be painful? will it cause tension in the house? tune in next week and see!") Okay. Stepping off my twisted soapbox |
Hobbs | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 07:22 am     I wonder if it might be a fake offer. They asked Amy how long she would go on PB&J to re-enter the house. She said for the rest of the time. Then they said we just wanted to know how bad you wanted this. So no PB&J for Amy. Who knows, maybe it was going to be a fake offer, but when Jee was the only one to take it, it became real because they know how POed everyone was at Jee. Unless the producers want Jee to go further. I don't know. Like I said earlier, none of this makes any sense. |
Justshirley | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 07:39 am     I CANNOT believe that you told who won Amazing Race. I was at a work function until late last night and have studiously avoided TAR-related boards so as not to be spoiled before I can watch my tape when I get home tonight. Unbelievable. |
Crossfire | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 07:47 am     Maybe the mods could jump in and fix that before anyone else gets accidentally spoiled. |
Big_Show | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 07:53 am     Jee will now be a greater target to the other HG if any of them get HOH other then rob, leaving the door open for rob to go further...humm and a closed door competition, were BB can splice and edit the out come they like, smells like another BB setup competition to me. I'd give BB a twist if I was the nom's after the veto meeting...I'd walk over and push the panic button! BB I Want Out Now! hehehe... |
Fruitbat | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 07:59 am     Justshirley, after the show aires it is fair game. Just the nature of a TV board. No one should be expected to wait until all those who taped it have viewed. How would we know anyway? Information from all shows can slide from thread to thread. That is a good sign of posters connecting and communicating in real time here. Best not to read the board if you dont want to know something. Thread titles can give it away in the New Message search too. The nature of this beautiful beast.  |
Cricket | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 08:05 am     Yikes, I'm glad I watch the AR late last night. I wouldn't want to know the winner either. I was rooting for Kelly & John. |
Sheilaree | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 08:06 am     I agree with Ziroc what a lame twist, it is not like last year, did someone get to go to the oscars, or am I thinking of the year before? |
