HOH game for 9/3: Houseguest Roulette?:
Archive through September 03, 2003
Wilsonatmd | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 02:09 pm     According to the Live Feeds Jun peeked outside during an indoor lockdown, where they were apparently doing the test setup for the HOH tommorrow, and she said she saw something that looked like a large roulette wheel. Perhaps this HOH will be decided by a game of chance, say a wheel with the HG's eligible for HOH are on the wheel, each HG has chips, and they bet on where the wheel will land on. That also got them to talking about Russian Roulette....They could do a (non-lethal) version of it too I guess (say they're below buckets of squid guts or something, and every turn, the odds of the bucket turning over increase, and the last person clean wins...a version of the Game Show Network show, but things drop on them instead of people dropping out on GSN's version) We've had luck-based games before (the box Veto game in BB3 comes to mind, since while people could make deals, the outcome was entirely chance), but for HOH, I don't know.....and of course Jun could have been completely wrong about it, and the HOH game will have nothing to do with it......any thoughts? |
Auntiemike | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 02:19 pm     I like the idea of a game of chance; that way no one would have an edge over anyone else. The outcome of chance is hard to manipulate in my book! |
Saggkl | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 02:21 pm     Would they keep them in lockdown until the show tomorrow. The HOH is tomorrow live isn't it? |
Cameltoes | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 02:28 pm     A game of chance is the only way to give Rob an opportunity to win. |
Wilsonatmd | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 02:29 pm     well they have to make sure the setup is OK ahead of time, so they usually do a lockdown the day before a live show and set it up, do a camera check, then tear it back down. If the game involves some sort of skill, they'll also give the HG"s a simplified version of it to practice for a short time beforehand as well. Obviously, with a game of chance, you don't have to practice, but you do want to make sure it looks OK on TV first. |
Rhett | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 02:45 pm     If I were going to wager a bet on who will win HOH tomorrow I would put my money on Rob. I think whatever the game is it will be rigged for him to win. By rigged I mean something that he has a good chance of winning. |
Seanflynn2003 | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 02:56 pm     That sounds like if an HoH contest gives everyone an even chance, that makes it rigged. To me, that sounds fair. To have a contest that disfavors a particular contestant would make it rigged. |
Gina8642 | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 03:21 pm     I don't think it should be random chance - that really doesn't make this a 'game'. But a big wheel of some kind that helps choose questions or a challange - that could be interesting and as fair as any other method. |
Beruthiel | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 03:33 pm     Rob will be out of Luck, since Luck is a lady, LOL! I'm thinking of Marlon Brando in Guys and Dolls, singing, "Luck be a lady tonight..." |
Spunky | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 05:26 pm     Oh no!!!! I hate it when they leave it to chance... It's going to be almost sure Rob gets it... we will have to jinx that!!!! |
Crazydog | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 05:39 pm     Has there ever been an HoH competition that was purely chance? I don't think there has been one. I really would doubt if it were purely chance. |
Dipo | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 06:07 pm     What if the wheel has pictures of the old HG's on it and they have to answer a question about the one that turns up? That would be a game of chance and knowledge!!! I like this idea. Please, BB gods, please |
Crazydog | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 06:12 pm     Yes, I think that's more likely - a lot of past HoH competitions that were based on questions were questions about the evicted houseguests. |
Sunshyne4u | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 06:38 pm     we shall see.......unfortunately, anyone who has played the big wheel in Amusement Parks KNOWS that they can be manipulated to go to certain places on the wheel. I am with Cameltoes and her observations. I personally feel that Rob is being given more of an opportunity to win yet he will not have earned it........He is obviously NOT the brightest and I really thought he didnt have a snowballs chance in Hell of winning the HOH comp. I Now change my mind..... |
Earthmother | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 06:58 pm     Cameltoes, you took the words right out of my mouth... |
Charvie | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 07:37 pm     The only reason why I see Robert winning is because in this particular BB the same alliance never wins 2 weeks in a row. Makes sense Robert would be next. Another this is the ex-factor and I am sure Shapiro would love to have ex's in the final two. And after tomorrow night that would be Robert and Erika left in the house. I don't think it will be rigged, but I think Alison will be too nervous and panicked to perform, Erika will still be mulling Robert's offer in the back of her mind and Robert probably has been playing as low as he can go. But probably knows the answers as well as the rest of them. Especially since he sits and talks to them for hours and than dissapears after the conversation probably going over the information in his head. Hmmmm... |
Wilsonatmd | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 07:57 pm     well another option could be a combined luck/knowledge game, like this perhaps: each HG who's eligible gets one chance to win for free, then 5 questions are asked. For each question a HG gets right, they earn another chance. say one random number on a wheel for free (say Jun holds a deck of cards with wheel numbers on them , and they draw), and one additional (random) number for each right question. then after all the questions, one spin of the wheel decides who wins HOH. If the wheel stops on a number no one has, it's a respin until it does happen. With only 3 HG's eligible, the wheel would have 18 spaces (6 possible for each). |
Bb234finalist | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 09:29 pm     Just my opinion...Ali is a sure bet into the final 2 since they all think they can win against her. I am hopig for Ali to win...who would have thought?! I can't stand this cast and can't wait for this show to end. I keep saying I won't watch...but I keep watching...although I tell myself it's only to watch Cupid afterwards! Anyone else here falling for Robert? He is a bit gung ho but wouldn't it be nice to have a guy dote on you like he does? Yes, it would. Hank I think is attracted to Lisa, and likes her, but I don't think she is "his type of girl" anyway, Cupid has it on BB hands down. Sorry to go off topic. |
Bb234finalist | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 09:30 pm     Robert from Cupid...duh, certainly not nose picker from BB. Did he eat his boogers on tonights show by the way? Sure was NASTY! God he is gross! |
Spunky | Tuesday, September 02, 2003 - 10:50 pm     But where is this wheel.. when did you see it... all they have outside is that pinata thing... |
Fruitbat | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 04:18 am     Robert has clearly ducked some comps. I am not convinced he could not win if that was his plan. |
Charjo | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 05:14 am     Shouldn't Ali be penalized for peeking? Sheesh. She just has no class whatsoever. |
Theo | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 05:16 am     Ali didn't peek Jun did. |
Spunky | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 09:38 am     Yooohooo? Where is this wheel?? Is it really going to be tonight's HOH comp?? |
Ladytex | Wednesday, September 03, 2003 - 09:40 am     Do you notice that Ali gets blamed for a lot of stuff that Jun does? Ali is scummy enough that she doesn't need to be blamed for other peoples stuff. And Jun is not the perfect person that some people try to make her out to be. |
