Hokeypokey04 | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 07:08 pm     *Praying for a good twist that beats out anything else that we could even think of* |
Cliotheleo | Thursday, August 14, 2003 - 08:46 pm     Hush Deb! Don't even scare me like that!!!!! You meant DAVE right? |
Spunky | Friday, August 15, 2003 - 02:02 pm     Well, then I'm running out of ideas... Clio... I thought of Dave too... said so in some posts above... a website I posted (see links) is campaigning to get David back in the house... But really I can't think of anything else and I hope I will be pleasantly surprised. |
Spunky | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 01:25 pm     Again, I was the last one on this thread... a whole day and no one has added to this.. Is this going to be on Wednesday... the twist I mean... Anyway, if you notice "Expect the Unexpected" on the plasma screen... bring this thread up again!!! |
Lancecrossfire | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 01:29 pm     Spunky--we just may be out of ideas--lol. I think everyone is looking forward to the twist--it's clear AR can't just play a normal game of BB any more, so he should change the name to twist and shout. |
Bonzacat | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 01:30 pm     Knowing nothing, but personally dying for a twist, I will just add that (for me) *any* twist is a welcome twist. Well, except maybe Gos from BBUK because I was not a follower. I want something... anything.... former BB year HG, returning evictee from this cast..... just bring on the twist!  |
Bigsister | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 02:22 pm     I think the twist, or a twist later on, will involve the sequestered ex-houseguests in some way. I believe this strongly because that is the only reason I can think of that Arnie would not reveal to us, the viewers, anything about them. Where are they, what are they up to, etc. Julie is very, very close-mouthed on eviction nights about where they are going and what they will be doing, even though they have to be aware the viewers would be curious. I think they are keeping mum about it and will reveal it with some big production just when we least expect it. |
Shoegalnj | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 03:39 pm     Hi! First time poster here! A good twist would be they offered one of the nominated HG's the chance to walk with some cash -and THAT person decided which evicted HG they wanted to take their place - but THAT HG had to be up for nomination. Would make the other nominated HG sorta scared (esp if they thought they were in safe mode). |
Mizinvanccouver | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 03:40 pm     Ohhhhhhhhh good one Shoegalnj!! Welcome to the boards! |
Zachsmom | Saturday, August 16, 2003 - 03:42 pm     but if a nominated HGs was replaced with an evicted HGs wouldn't the evicted one come into the house nominated? |
Teddysmom | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 07:17 am     I swear I heard Erika comment about the Platinum Veto. Did any one else hear that. Yesterday I came in on the middle of a conversation with Erika and Jack in the HOH room and Erika said Platinum Veto. Maybe I'm losing my mind. |
Lene | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 07:42 am     New Board Member Here! I think they are gonna bring in another house guest's X..perhapes Ali's haha or perhapes someone that is sequestered will be asked to come back... |
Philamom | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 07:53 am     Teddy ... the "Platinum Veto" may tie in with something I heard last night on the feeds. (I'm just speculating here, please don't take this as absolute truth.) I heard Ali say that this coming week's POV would be the last one ... but then she said "I WISH" after someone said that she wasn't supposed to talk about it. So the twist may be that this week's veto comp is the last one, and there might be something special about it ... like POV winner decides who goes up. But, I'll be really disappointed if that's all it is. I'm expecting something big, but I have the feeling it's not going to be anything real exciting. |
Jan | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:05 am     Welcome lene to the wonderful world of posting. We are glad to have you here!  |
Jpgramma | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:19 am     hmm. according to the Hgs, they were apparently told by BB that there would be NO returning of evicted guests this season. As for the platinum veto, where the holder could choose who the replacement nom would be, AS addressed that possibility in a recent interview (the link to which is posted somewhere in one of these threads), that he wouldn't do that because it would weaken the HOH position too much. Having a guest HOH comp 'explainer' doesn't seem like much of a twist. The whole concept seems pretty lame to me actually. Allowing the HOH to compete back to back this early would be a nice twist, but not SUCH a twist since the back-to-back HOH possibilities have been used in other years when the game nears the end. My guess would be that it does have something to do with the sequester house. What, I don't know.. but ??? I did have one thought about the twist. Since it's on Wednesday, it seems likely it has something to do with the voting/eviction process or the HOH comp. Since it's become so predictable that many HGs intentionally throw the comps, I'd like to see BB come up with an immunity necklace (a la survivor). The HOH comp winner would still be HOH, but the person who comes in 2nd would have immunity. That might cause a few folks who figured they'd throw the comp to have 2nd thoughts. |
Jpgramma | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:27 am     Philamom.. That's odd that Ally would have spoken about the next POV being the last and then told she wasn't supposed to talk about it. What's not to talk about? Assuming by next, she means next week, well yes, it would make sense that next week would be the last week for POV. After that, they'll be down to 5 HGs. With 3 of them being the HOH and the 2 noms, if one of the 2 players who wasn't a nom won, they would in fact be deciding who the replacemnet would be, since there'd only be one other non-nommed to choose from. (does that make sense the way I've explained it?) lol |
Amchess | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:33 am     With one more eviction, there will be 6 HG's in both houses. Maybe there will be some kind of competition between the two houses for something worth playing for.... |
Jpgramma | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:35 am     Amcshess, only the jury members are in the sequester house. after this week, they'll be 3 there, not 6. Amanda, Michelle and Dave aren't there. |
Amchess | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:40 am     Gramma, of course you are right as I kick myself. LOL, well it sounded good at the time! |
Jpgramma | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:46 am     Stop kicking yourself Amchess. When I first read your post my eyebrows raised and I thought, of course! That would work! Then I went hmmmmmmmmmmm, wait a minure and started to count my fingers. lol brain pharts are part of the BB experience. Ask Jack, he'll tell you I'm right. ;) |
Cliotheleo | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:50 am     Amchess ......... not to worry, ANY thought that involves putting Dave back in front of the camera sounds like a good one to me! Maybe the new twist will be that, from now on, half of all shows and two of the LFs will be dedicated to following Dave around, watching him do nothing in particular. Sounds good to me! |
Cba79 | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:54 am     I do believe that the "twist" involves the sequestered HGs. Personally, I am thinking that THEY will be voting folks out. Hmmm....Dave and Dana voting out either Justin and Robert? That could be a load of fun! |
Cliotheleo | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:56 am     I think the twist will simply be that we (the home audience) will now get to see footage from the sequestration house, nothing on the LFs, just on the show. As always, it will not turn out to be as big of a deal as we might hope. |
Philamom | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 08:58 am     Jpgramma, I'm trying to remember last year's show ... the last POV was the golden one, when Marcellas didn't use it on himself. There were 5 HGs left at that point (Marcellas, Amy, Lisa, Dani, and Jason). This year, if they stop POV after this week, there will be 6 contestants left. I think that's one week earlier (or one HG more, however you want to phrase it) than they stopped it last year. (But someone double check my math, LOL). But, you're right, since the twist is supposed to be announced Wed., it more likely has something to do with eviction or HOH than with POV. |
Jpgramma | Sunday, August 17, 2003 - 09:01 am     Ah, not a big deal to us perhaps Clio, but it sould be a very big deal to some of the HGs.. like Ally, whose prime motivation, IMHO, is being center stage and getting as much face time and camera attention as she can get. I think winning is 2ndary to her. I mean, if she was serious about winning, I'm sure she'd have been playing a much different game. IF the HGs thought they's be hetting as much or even more camera time in the sequester house, both Ally and June might be a whole lot happier at the prospect of going. it's a thought anyway. I still like my idea that 2nd place in HOH comp wins immunity from the nom. editing to address Plilamom's post. You're right! There were 5 last year when Marcellas did his notorious golden veto flub. That's curious. That means if Lisa had won it, she could have taken off Marc. and forced Jason to go up. Woulsn't that have been interesting. lol |
