Chy | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:22 pm     Thanks, Wendo. I guess they had a very intense day even though the Food chenllenge and the BIG Twist were rolled into one. |
Tabbyking | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:23 pm     yawn, big twist. NOT...... waiting for BB5....maybe something novel, like 12 people who really are chosen at random, have no agent or bellys connection, haven't applied for 17 other reality shows, represent more age groups... now, that i would watch! |
Tobor7 | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:26 pm     First they offered each of them POV in exchange for 3 weeks of being on PPJ for the whole house, except the POV holder. No one took it. Then they lowered it to 2 weeks. Still no one took the deal. When it went down to 1 week, Jee took it. If more than one of them accepted the deal, then the winner would be a random number drawing or something really stupid like that. So much for this "twist" huh? |
Gina8642 | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:31 pm     It isn't much of a twist because they've already done this before. The only difference is they made it for POV instead of cash. |
Wendo | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:35 pm     Tobor, as I posted in another thread, the twist was the fact that POV was offered BEFORE nominations. So, if you felt you were likely to get nominated, you could win POV and not be evicted. Unfortunately, Erika and Jack, didn't go for it, even though Jee basically told them they were going up. (I think that Jack feels he didn't need to take it because he believes Erika is the target. Erika, on the otherhand, seems to think Jack is the target; don't forget, just after Jee won HOH she checked with Rob about their deal and he affirmed it was still on, even though in his mind it isn't.) I think the premise of the twist was actually good. Who would've thought none of them would go for it. Heck, I thought these people were there to win a half million dollars. But, I guess not. In the end, the one person who really didn't need it, got it. LOL! |
Tobor7 | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:40 pm     Great thought process Wendo. So Erika's behind the scenes back-stabbing of Jack with Rob is actually her undoing since she believed him and thought she was safe in the vote. Nice irony here. (This is me waving buh-bye to Erika.) |
Seanflynn2003 | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:42 pm     IF Jee is thinking (read: not letting Robert do it for him), he needs to go to Jun, tell her she needs to vote to evict Erika, without that commitment he vetoes Jack, and puts her up. He is going to pay for the deal he made, he might as well get the HG he wants out. Any bets on if he will do this? |
Chy | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 09:55 pm     Sean, I don't know. Jee thinking on his own? More over, threatening Jun? I doubt Jee will ever do that. Not that Jee's afraid of Jun, but there's something he won't do to Jun. I get the feeling that J&J sorta agree not to go for each other until no other options. Jee doesn't calculate things too well anyways. Besides, If Rob was not thinking for Jee then it was Jun's turn... |
Seanflynn2003 | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 10:02 pm     Chy Don't get me wrong -- I don't think he will do it; he is more likely to realize it after the vote and then be mad at Jun rather than realizing he brought it on himself. On the other hand, after this week, Jee is going to need Jun more than ever, so maybe she just takes her chances. And with his partially (but not fatally) depreciate chances, he is a more plausible bring-along guy for the final 2. |
Kappy | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 10:49 pm     Seamonkey: "I'm sure before this is over he'll be back saying "I put my life on the line". Exactly. That was my very first thought . . How long before the whine begins. |
Funnyfarm | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 10:59 pm     Maybe Jee will run out of cigarettes soon and we can see him r e a l l y get tense. (he might even put himself up for eviction.) |
Lancecrossfire | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:20 pm     I don't see why a twist can't be something that was done before. They didn't announce it would be a new twist, or a never been seen twist. It was also a trwist because it was out of the norm--POV was decided before nominations, for instance. It was a twist because the noraml cometition for POV doesn't include the rest of the house getting punished for a week or 2 or 3. Anything really dratsic woudl change the game too much at a late stage--hardly fair to those still there--or to the rules we so loudly complian about when not followed. It allowed for the HGs to show how they paly the game--or how they chose to change how they will play the game. Not sure what people wanted that would have been within reason of keeping the game going as it has been--at least for the most part. |
Widowswalk | Thursday, August 21, 2003 - 11:27 pm     Well Cross- let's see. How 'bout Scott coming back in for one night and they all have to take turns trying to throw his a$$ out while dodging chairs? |
Brotherman | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 02:46 am     The twist is kind of lame this season. |
Philamom | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 04:47 am     I agree, this twist is rather lame. I was expecting something bigger. And I don't understand why Jack and Erika didn't take the bribe -- or why Jee did!! I understand completely why Ali, Jun, and Robert didn't take it ... they knew they were safe, and there is no benefit to making everyone else eat PB&J. Jee's move surprised me. Some are calling it a smart move, but I just don't see it that way. Even if Jee didn't take the deal, either Jack or Erika would have been gone. It doesn't make sense to me at all. All it did was make everyone mad at him. It seemed like a really selfish move, and it may come back to haunt him if he makes it to the end. I don't know about Erika and Jack. The whole thing baffles me. You better believe, if I knew I was going to be nominated and could get POV, I'd make the rest of those people eat PB&J, with no qualms at all. |
Jagger | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 06:49 am     I can't understand why either J/E didn't take the offer. They could have taken it, had Jee nominate them, save one or the other of them and than try to convince Ali or Jun to vote out who ever Jee puts in their place. I think it was a great move on Jees part to take the deal. I can also see Robert not taking the deal,he felt rather safe, but everyone else was vulnerable this week. By now they should all realize you can't really trust anyone in the house, they are playing for a lot of money and money usally takes a front seat over a newly formed friendship. |
Cricket | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 07:07 am     Jagger, if J or E took the offer, they'd be off the hook this week, but for sure get put up and evicted the following week, thus ensuring they wouldn't make it to the finals. One of them would still go this week and the other next week because the houseguests would be so upset with them for making them eat PB&J all week. I think BB actually did this to help Jack and Erika out, but it backfired because Jee is such a control freak, lol. |
Demeter | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 07:17 am     The irony of it will be sad for Jee after he sees the tapes. Julie hyped the twist as being one of "a test of character". Jee holds the view that his character is humane and genuine. It won't feel good to see that this flaw of his will be viewed by millions. |
Cricket | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 07:32 am     Oops, double post. Lol, I just had a thought that maybe this was BB's way of ensuring that Jack won something at last. He had the chance to get the POV without having to play a game. |
Stingerman | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 07:40 am     Well the way this twist is working out it's going to backfire on Jee just like the Michelle incident. Now ALi Jun are going to keep Erica and vote out Jack so next week it will be the 3 girls against Robert for the next HOH and chances are they will win against him unless BB decides to use some sort of game that he will win. I think this will look good on Jee and and it's the only bright side to this lousy Twist |
Boberg | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 08:03 am     Stingerman said "Unless BB decides to use some sort of game that he (Robert) can win." Well I for one can not think of a nose picking game or slander the other gender game that BB would put on TV, so I believe Robert is SOL. I can't wait to see Rob and Jee's faces Wed. night if the girls stick to their plan and vote out Jack, but, considering its Ali and Jun whose words I am depending on...I won't believe it till I see it. And then I want to see Jun win HOH and see if she will really go against Jee and nominate him! |
Pengoh | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 08:23 am     I think Jun will go against Jee now, it's getting down the the wire, and he guaranteed Ali's safety over her own. He told her he would put her up if E/Ja used the veto. He also told her she can't control him. I think she is serious about an all girl alliance and realizes now is the time to turn on Jee because he's already turned on her. Just my opinion, and some wishful thinking. |
Dke1212 | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 08:46 am     I keep reading posts stating Jee is only looking out for himself, HELLO!! Isn't that what the game is supposed to be? Is he supposed to make sure others win and forget about himself? Everyone is looking out for number one in this game. |
Cricket | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 09:03 am     Looking out for yourself is good, Dke, but doing it at the expense of your houseguests having to eat garbage for a week, no energy, etc. is like committing suicide. By doing this Jee will not make it to the finals. Oh gee, I hope they show the evicted houseguests reaction to this move by Jee, especially Dana and Justin's! |
Marymary | Friday, August 22, 2003 - 09:08 am     Not a Jee fan but I think it was a good move for him. It's crazy that at least J and E didn't go for it. And I can see why some of us think this show is lame. But think about it. Robert and Erika don't do well on PBJ...they get sick and cranky. You know Ali will be a giant pain in the butt...and maybe Jun too. Everyone is already po'd at Jee. Jee is fixing to run out of smokes. You know this could be amusing. I hope no one gets hurt! |
