Drewpdrawers....the problem is, that wouldn't be a "twist" since it's been done before. *Although* it *could* be thought of as being based on the HG's character, as Julie said.

When I think about it, I keep going back to the idea that whatever this big, huge, fantastic, overly promoted, magnificent "twist" is, it will be a big disappointment! LOL

I think Will won the large jar of peanut butter from taking the deal to get off the bed. (HOH competition, he made a deal with Monica, and let go of his key). I believe that's when he won the jar of pb. Will turned down the money that bunky and Hardy excepted.

Maybe it already happened in the DR and they're not allowed to mention it.

<<So we sit here like drones to the queen bee with AS on her shirt, waiting and waiting for someone to accidently mess with our hive so that we can go into a frenzy.>>

Finally some action...lockdown outside so the crew can evict Cuff and Link before their feeding time. After that maybe they'll get down to bu$ine$$.

If it's something that starts today, that doesn't sound like something that finishes today. So that doesn't sound like any money offer we've seen before. But it does sound like it'll be a test of character.

Jiggly, Julie said on last night's show that the twist would be shown on Saturday night's show. So they can announce it to the HGs any time today or tomorrow, I would think, and still get lots of footage for Saturday.

Julie also told the HGs that expect the unexpected starts tomorrow which is today.

The think the sound they hear in the kitchen is the food being discarded. Could be true.

They could also find that not only has the desert room been emptied but the other bedroom as well. Cots? Sleeping bags? Could they even be removing all the furniture and replacing it with camp stools and folding chairs?

Julie also said 'it starts tomorrow'.

Since the turtle eviction/desert room closure was announced after mid-night, there is still the possibility that that was the 'twist'. It is a test of character to live in close quarters. BB has a tendency to hype stuff that doesn't deserve it.

That said, I really hope it is something more, this season screams out for some sort of shake-up.

Room closing is as routine as swapping out the dining table. There is nothing even remotely twisty about it. Hang in there, we either find out later, or on Saturday.

I am beginning to think both bedrooms are locked and all will eat, live and sleep in the main room. This cuts down on camera coverage, secret talks behind closed doors and creates stress.

As the cast gets smaller there are too many cameras filming empty space. They want to concentrate the action. This is practical as well as serving to offer a change.

Now will there be more? Food will be Survivor style. A bag of rice on the counter perhaps?

Hopefully there will be more but I am not holding my breath. Character and comfort were two words used by Julie.

Do you think the twist will be after nominations? Rob and Jee were just talking about that. It kind of does make more sense if it affects nominations to do it afterwards so Jee can't counter it. Except if it's immunity of some sort.

Maybee we will the desert growing on them. No more kitchen, to more table, no more living room. Only sand everywere. After all, that decor in the "desert room" has to have some hidden signification.

And the next PoV competition could be to find Cuff and Link amongst 1000 tortoises running (well walking) aroud every were. The winners could be winning a car (a VW Rabbit, for exemple). But some might say that this would give an unfair advantage to Jack and Erika but we are used to those so call advantage, so I wouldn't mind one more.

Maris you are right.. Julie DID say the unexpected starts today...

I'm a big, big fan of stress in the house, anything they do to increase that would be just super in my opinion.

Now that they have a resort house for the evicted, they can afford to make the house living hell without worrying about people not signing up next year. They will come in droves for the paid vacation, but I say make'm earn it in the house.

Julie did not say, as she says every Wed. at the end, "Tune in on Sat. to find out the 2 hgs that Jee will nom. for eviction". When she came back to them at the end, she asked Jee, "What 2 hgs do you want to see sitting in those chairs?" I still think there will be no nomination, and a free-for-all vote. Anyone can be voted for and evicted except Jee, the HOH. It would be crazy in that house for the week!!

I'm betting on it being some sort of honesty vs. greed thing that somehow involves people potentially leaving if they accept a deal.

But I bet the logic behind it will be absolutely CRAZY and mind-bendingly complex. However, I doubt it will greatly affect the game.

I got it... the house is going vegan for the remainder... now they have to compete to get nominated and Jack will win because he cannot beat anyone else at anything and will never get nominated again.

Highly doubt they will get rid of nominations.... that's the essence and beauty of the game. Plus, a free-for-all wouldn't really be fair to Rob, as he may easily leave when he never would have otherwise. Certainly not fair to wait until after HOH to tell them.

The twist could easily be a violation of privacy, i.e. views of all rooms could be displayed on the plasma screen for all to see. At a time in the game where secret alliances are crucial, it would make it more difficult for secrecy.
Another variation which I don't think will happen would be for certain houseguests to be handcuffed together at all times. The pairs could be decided by some psychological battle of wits (i.e. completely fair, and not based on some random other skill)

didn't she say it had something to do with testing their character? I think it's gonna be an offer that could screw the house over but benefit one person.

Maybe they will show Dana, Nathan and Justin in their little beachfront property frolicking in the pool with the waterfall, drinking margaritas. Then they will offer each of the houseguests money to leave.
