One week of eating PB&J in exchange for the POV isn't what I would call a TWIST. THIS DOESN'T REALLY CHANGE ANYTHING. A real twist would have been something that will be part of the game for weeks to come.

Are we sure this is the twist?? Were the HGs told it was?

BB didn't think only one would take it. It backfired on them. Now the twist will seem stupid.

Can't you see all the excitement this caused. We get to listen to them gripe and moan at each other for a couple of hours today since they are all somewhat upset and then for the next week we get to watch them do absolutely nothing but sleep and sit around and not talk as they always do when they are on PB&J.

All they have done is effectively remove the veto. It sure will be a boring week, no food competition, no veto competition and basically no veto meeting either.

Even worse about this twist is with Jee as the one and only winner of the twist prize, oh how exciting this will be. He can't nominate himself. He can't switch his alliance to himself. He is the HOH. They call this a twist?

Julie's exact words to the HG's at the end of Wednesday's show:

"Well everyone, we told you from the very beginning you should never get too comfortable in the big brother house. Remember that our motto is 'Expect the unexpected', and everyone should know
--- the unexpected begins tomorrow".

She said the unexpected "begins" tomorrow. Not "is" tomorrow, not "happens" tomorrow, but "begins" tomorrow. I will try to be optimistic and hope this means it was just the beginning of a multi part twist.

Naja...I SO hope you're right!! I kinda got that feeling too..that it would be something ongoing...but I took it to mean one event with ongoing consequences.

If this is the twist...it's very disappointing.

BORING!!! Beyond boring! Absolutetly the epitome
of bottom of the barrell entertainment! I might as well watch Cupid for crying out loud.

I have been watching BB since BB1. This by far is the lousiest season ever. I may have to hang up my BB hat this year...

Extremely disappointed.

I personally think it is great that they did this offer.

I am happy to see them shake things up in the house, and I think this one did just that. Jee was not a marked man until this happened and now the houseguests are upset enough to vote him outta there.

It's a great attempt at BB trying to make something happen in the house. Sure, if more than one person would have taken it, it would have been even more interesting. However, that's the way things go, it's UNEXPECTED!

And I think Jee is awesome for taking it. What a great way to make sure he gets out who he wants. He is quite smart for doing this, and with his suave ways, he may have enough time to smooth things over enough to save himself if he goes up. He's got 2 weeks!

I'm with you misunderstood, I'm not sure I can stomach any more of this season. So big deal, Jack and Erica are probably nominated and the nomination stands and we get to watch another boring week of BB4. Erica will leave next Wed and there's no chance for anyone or anything to save her and as a side benefit we get to see the house guests starve all week. Woo Hoo.

So dissapointing. Can they not come up with anything original? No creativity. Always PB&J. I agree.........very lame!!!

Since Shapiro has no creativity, he needs to read the boards. There have been some great suggestions for twists posted here.

It would have been interesting if Jack or Erika would have taken the deal. We would have seen Jun or Ali put up- BB should live by his own motto "Expect the Unexpected" IT didn't work as planned- but it did make Jee more of a marked man. Whether that means they want to get rid of him- or take him to the final 2.

ROFLMAO, Xarph! Well, they have nowhere to go but up, so I'll be waiting to see what the newest employee comes up with, lol.

Julie did say begins, but she also said to tune in Saturday for the surprise twist (whoopee) and come back on Tuesday to see how it plays out.

That would lead me to believe that it's just for this week, as voting will be on Tuesday.

Maybe there will be more, but if they're like this, who cares.

Julie was correct, the twist begins tonight at midnight with everyone eating PB&J and will continue through the week.

I keep wondering what kind of twist we would see if NO ONE took the deal....

LOL Xarph.

I really hope there is more to this so-called twist. They bribe them every year so making it about immunity/veto vs. money is hardly earth shattering. They'd impress me if they ditched the bribing altogether and came up with something... I dunno.. original.

How would it have worked if they ALL took the one week PBJ bribe? They couldn't ALL have immunity (or could they)?? I'm missing something ...

Cliotheleo

Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:24 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Yeah .......... and I don't understand the concept of putting EVERYONE ELSE on PB&J if YOU accept the bribe? Shouldn't you be the one on PB? Like last year when they took the banished HGs and asked them how long they'd be willing go go on PB&J in order to get back into the house? Of course you'd put everyone else on PB&J if you had the opportunity to have the veto! I think I'm missing something.

Julie also said at the end of the live show that she would be revealing the twist to the HGs. Julie made the offers in the DR this time as she has on past BBs.

It was a twist because the POV competition was held BEFORE nominations. So, if you felt you were in jeapordy, you could go for it and keep yourself from being evicted.

Unfortunately, no one went for it. And, the one person who didn't really need to go for it, did. LOL!

naja, i sure hope your optimism is strong because i have a feeling that you'll need to be so for alot of us. for bb i believe that they will need to come up with something else or they may not be back next year.

all i can say is, as a big fan of reality tv, thank goodness for paradise hotel or i may have been turned off reality tv for good (well maybe thats going to far but i think i've made my point LOL).
