Funny webpage, Therlin! Liked the pictures too. Did you do your own caricature?

Therlin, I had to check out the webpage since Spwisc commented....and it's so much fun! Thanks for the laughs this morning!

Thank you. I didn't do my own caricature (I wish, but I can't draw). Normally my page has more content, but I've been on vacation until recently and I haven't had much time to update it. I try to post at least one new thing every day.

I think the bocce ball thing will have individual lanes for each player, with whoever gets closest to the circle winning (sort of like the competition last year -- it was kind of like shuffleboard, where they had to get closest to the edge). At least, that's what I'm hoping happens. I don't like it when the contestants have a hand in eliminating one another in the comps.

I agree Philamom...I thought it was going to be on an angle, on a slick surface ...and again using their key's vs. a ball....but, I didn't think about individual lanes....I think they'll draw ping-pong balls for the order that they do it in and the last person has a lot of power to be able to either push someone elses key out of the way and into the hole or just try to get theirs closer.

So the title of the thread is 9/20 HOH. Is that some kind of a special code? Or is that the new American way of saying 8/20? I need to keep up with the latest trends.

I'm wondering what the purpose of that tall, looming erector set type structure is. Maybe the HGs will be hung by their feet from it and will have to roll their balls from that upside down position..lol

seriously, it seems like an awfully large and tall structure up there. Surely it must figure into the comp somehow. Why else would it be there? Has anyone heard any of the Hgs wondering about it?

Yes they have. One of them said the very same thing about being hung upside down and having to roll the ball.

All I can say, this HOH competition is not geared to make Jack win, so maybe even the producers are saying...It's time Jack jons Nate and Dana....and Justin.

My guess is that the disc at the end of the lane will be spinning during the competition. I'm surprised none of the HGs has noticed that.

JPGramma, my guess is the erector set thing has a camera mounted on it...notice it's at the end where the hole is. It's probably to show a top-down view of the area around it to show who's winning.

Thanks for the answers folks. Wilson, I hadn't even thought of that. Makes perfect sense that BB would need a place of a camera shot like that.

Charvie, I'm glad to know that at least one of the HGs thinks as weirdly as I do. lol

Eros, I'm going to have to go look at some pictures of the thing to see what disc you're speaking of. I hope you're wrong. lol. Recalling how very badly Jack performed in that last spinning comp, and how well Ali the figure skater did!

I can't find any closeups, but there was a clearly visible circle with diameter roughly the width of the lane around the hole. Anyway, the latest setup is that they've added a second lane and have introduced a bump (or 2?) before the hole area. Can't tell for sure because there's glare during the brief moments the camera is on it.

when they did a comp similar to this last year (in this case, it was get the ball as close to the edge without going over) they used two lanes. The first player used one lane, and the others used the other lane until the first person was beaten, then they switched. Thus they don't have to worry about bumping other balls, if a person doesn't beat the first player, they'll just remove it, so each HG will have an open lane to shoot from.
