Azriel, Thanks. I've only been here since BB1 and if I ever knew about that, I'd forgotten.

Wow Azriel...I'm not from the UK, but I really appreciated your post. I'll fake a really poor Brit accent and pretend though....although I'm sure the people that are the 'real thing' will scrunch up their ears hearing it.

We're discussing a bad moment on BB 2 yrs ago
The show was going on during 9/11
The was no regular TV programming for more than a week; the HGs noticed something was different when the planes that normally flew overhead weren't there. After a few days, they were given sketchy details about what happened.
One of the 4 (I recall) remaining HGs had a cousin who worked at the World Trade Center. She asked about her right away; the cousin was among those killed. SHe was I recall allowed some minor contact with her family
After about a two week break the show resumed

When the final week arrives in the house.
The winner is decided by the evicted hgs?

If that is the case - why arent these guys/gals
being friendlier to each other - knowing their vote will decide the winner?

Tissy, the only intelligent answer I can give you is that these HGs just aren't too intelligent.

I'm not too sure how the UK ending works, but BBUS now does it Survivor style. When there are three remaining there is a HOH competition and winner chooses whom to evict, thus choosing who will be with him/her (HOH winner) as the final two. The jury then votes on who gets the $500,000, with the other HG winning $50,000. At least that was last year. This year I am not sure of anything.

To be precise... it's not how unfriendly they're to each others that will come to hunt them but it's the way they talk of each other in the DR that really bugs them. Danielle lost last year mainly because of her DR entries..

Thanks Laisey and Spunky

Sorry - another question
Do the evicted hgs get to see ALL the diary entries before the final voting?

I can expand on Laisey's comment....The final HOH contest is usually in three parts.

Last year, here's what happened:

The first part was an endurance game-the three remaining HG's have to hold on to their housekey with one hand as long as possible, last one standing wins (they had them in innertubes in a pool, with it raining on them every so often, plus after 3 hours, they were no longer allowed to switch their hands...it took about 4 hours to decide that one) The second competition was sort of an obstacle course. There were several stations where the two HG's who didn't win the first part had to do things such as making and eating a PBJ sandwich, organizing a series of HG's photos in a specific order (in order of eviction, in order of POV winner, in order of who survived eviction, things of that nature) filling a bucket with water and rinsing and squeezing the water out of clothing...against a time limit, the person who completes the most events correctly wins and faced the winner of the first part of the competition, third player is now out. The final part was answering questions about the HG's and their feelings about the others..(Example: One of the HG's said a specific HG was Exciting, one said the same HG was Boring, and one said the HG was Manipulative. Who said this particular HG was Boring?), most correct won the final HOH and got to choose their opponent in the final vote.

The final three last year were Lisa, Danielle, and Jason. Jason and Danielle were in a solid alliance unknown to Lisa, swo she had to win HOH to survive, tho she didn't know it...Jason's hand slipped off the key in the first segment, and Danielle made a deal with Lisa to take her to the final two if she ended up winning HOH (which she would have anyway...Jason was a popular HG among the others, and would have won the final vote against either of them)...Jason then won the second HOH segment, thus Dani could only sit and watch the final segment. Lisa had a good eye for knowing the other HG's, and crushed Jason to win HOH...and then immediately evicted Jason, leaving Dani and Lisa in the final vote.....which Lisa won 9-1. The other HG's got mad at Danielle for trashing them in the Diary Room (and Tissy, this is why this years jury won't be able to see any Diary Room footage but will be able to see some of the other happenings in the house), and she got her only vote from Jason.

Tissy, The 7 evicted HGs on the jury will not see any DR entries. That's the reason they are going to be sequestered so that there will not be a repeat of last year. All HGs know that no DR entries will be shown to the jury.

Nothing confusing about BBUS, is there? lol
