So, we won't even see who wins?? Since it's an endurance comp it could be 2 or 3 hours... and only the internet viewers will know who wins.

Are they doing this to boost internet audience and so increase subscription to Live Feeds?

They're desperate!

This is more of a "tune back next Friday to see the conclusion of..."

And I think that it's always enjoyed by the Internet audience as the feeds tend to get overloaded when they do this.

I don't think live feed subscriptions matter to them. I think they sell the rights to real, and real gets the subscription fees from which it tries to recover the license rights, and make a tidy little profit. The payoff for BB, is the ratings on the next show.

From what I remember (and I could be wrong), didn't they do that last year, too, when they left everyone in TV land hanging when the show ended while Dani, Lisa and Jason were in the pool in their little boats during that endurance challenge?. The one where they had to hang on to their key? I didn't have live feeds last year, but I think I remember running to the LFP's to see who won. If I am remembering right, then it isn't a new thing.

Yeah, but that was towards the end of the game.. not this early.

Well, anyway, what's good for the goose....

They have done it in the past. The boat one you mentioned, then there was the water bed when everyone was....whizzing on themselves. There may be others I am forgetting.

Do the HGs know this?
If so, likely the last nail in Nathan's coffin, since the perception will be that he would be a stronger competitor than Jack.

When Amy came back into the house, the HOH comp involved them sitting in a tub together while the outgoing HOH (Chiara) dumped various things into the bathtub water--dead eels, chum (fish guts), etc. That was a bit of an endurance competition, and more similar in a way to having the number of hgs that will remain (7). The other endurance comps talked about here were down to the final 3.

Sean,
that's for sure... but I think he would have thrown the comp.. he had made too many promises and may have looked too much the traitor by putting either Jack or Erika up. Maybe Ali and Erika.

good thing he's gone.

However, without Nate, Ali could keep going on an endurance comp especially since Justin is not competing.

Jun's stomach growling too much
Jack will faint
Jee will want to pee and not make a fool of himself by peeing in front of everybody
Robert will want to pick his nose too many times
Erika may get her arms sore... strong legs but weak arms..

so Ali could hang in there all night long...

Link this rumor to the BB HG Gos story. That story said "Brain Vs Brawn." What could that be?

I guess they could see who is strong enough to stick their finger far enough up their nose that they could pull their brains out. We know who would win that one.

They could have them hang by their hands from a bar. The last person to drop wins. While they are hanging they could ask them questions. If they miss the question they have to drop.

My theory is that they studied the thread titled, "If any of you were in charge of the show. What would you do?". This was about how to improve BB (the thread is now in the archives), and they were impressed with the suggestion to do this written by one of the more erudite posters.

Scroll down for the very excellent post about endurance events. I was impressed.

I think a good endurance event would be like the one they had on RR/RW last season (I think).

The one where they all had to sit on blocks of ice and the girls had to wear their swimsuit & the guys had to wear Speedos. Whoever lasted the longest won.

Just now, LFPosting, JEE3 is ready to dump Jun and keep Na if the competition is physical, then Na will be on their team, they just talked it over with him. Now they are planning to tell Ali, but not Jun, because they need Ali's vote.
Lunch interrupted the planning, that, and Jun coming into the room. So if it is a physical competition, they have told Na they will keep him.

What does it mean if "it's physical" Nate stays? Do they want him to win HOH so that he can do what the stooges want?? And what if he looses??

Well, at least I'm glad they saw the light about Jun...

Yep - they think Nate will win and put up Jun and Erika.

I've obviously missed something. How do we know it's going to be an endurance comp?

Jpgramma- that falls under one of those categories of "what the HG's believe" Itis about time however- and they can hear something being built.

I think an endurance test would favor Jack ... just think about all those hours sitting on stake-out.

Unless he feels he's not at risk...and throws it again

I like endurance HOH comps and they do this every year as the numbers dwindle, the endurances will become more difficult and must wins for some (Remember Amy sat in that tub of fish guts, live eels etc... and NOTHING would shift her, she HAD to win that HOH to beat the ORD policy) Makes the game more interesting and is a true test of willpower. IMO whoever wins a tough endurance deserves to be HOH, not just silly question and answer type HOHs. I think this year more than ever we are seeing the true power of HOH.

I keep thinking of Jason letting go of the key when he used that hand to deal with his hat.. Can you imagine ROBERT trying to hold onto something, deal with a hat AND his nose?

Jun and Jack have already said the'll pee if it comes to that.

I wonder about Jee, tho.

I would expect Ali to hang in although she tends to get all girly if a bug is around.

Justin will be looking on, though he could have a role in dumping stuff or monitoring them or tempting them, whatever.

Well, if I may add my 2 cents...this only shows proves to me more these producers are morons. I've said before I don't have the live feeds, nor will I. And aside from the live show I don't "plan" to watch the shows...the producers are only driving their tv viewers to websites like this one to see what has happened (if they care) and make it so they don't NEED to tune in on Friday.

On another note, it is SOOOOOOOOOO BORING to watch the tv show and see them go over the last show for the first 10 minutes. Do they really think they have "new viewers" who need updated...or are they only proving to us that they don't have enough "stuff" to make an hour show.
I am so disappointed in this show...but I love this website! If it wasn't for TVCH I wouldn't care a bit about BB, WHAT A CHANGE from the last 3 seasons.
Nate or Jack, I could care less who goes...same goes for Erica, Justin, Robert, Jee, Jun, and Alison. This cast and show embarrasses and upsets me mainly because my staff and friends say to me..."You honestly wanted to go on that show? It is the dumbest thing on tv!" And unfortunately at this point I agree. This may not belong in this thread totally, I apologize in advance but I'm venting. It is so un-BB-like to log on and see NOTHING worth reading as to what is going on IN THE HOUSE. Sigh...too bad, this show used to be worth waiting for.
