I told you making them swap places would be the meanest BB twist ever... but that would be "something earth-shattering that grabs me by the seat of my pants and shakes me til I'm begging for mercy" as Phil said...

I would not predict that any evicted houseguests will be brought back into the house. But I do predict that we will see the evicted houseguests before the final show. They will in some way be involved in a big surprise.

As for whether or not the second BB house actually exists, I have no idea. The evictees are being held somewhere I am sure. Where, I have no idea, but we will eventually find out. Am I the only person who finds significance in the fact that we have not been shown where they are or what they are doing?

Bigsister, we never see the Survivor outcasts. And I believe Arnie is really trying to make this "Survivor in a House".

On the live feeds today at about noon Jack said "The way he sees this game...if Jee's alliance does not win this Wednesday, he doesn't see Jee as the guy in the face."
In the face? What the heck does that mean?

What if the 2 noms had a competition where the winner got to void one persons vote, all other votes to evict would count and if the person made the right choice if could be the difference between staying and going.

They need to do something!!!

I agree with you all it has to be something BIG. Let's hope they bring in someone new..or "old" OR there's another "EX" out there.

what i find the most boring is the "group" voting. they all vote the way their alliance does. if they have to compete for the right to vote then there would be less of a chance to predict the outcome of each eviction. thats the twist i would like to see.

Ok - question - is there ANYTHING official really coming? Because if memory serves this thread was actually started on a rumor - and now is seems to just be a thread for speculation.

thats all cool, but do we need to change the thread title?

Yeah, it's official. Julie announced last Wed. that there'd be a new twist announced this coming Wednesday.

It IS official (I am the one who started this thread, BTW ). You have to listen to the show until the end, after the last batch of commercials, before jumping back to your computer to catch the live feeds. That's when Julie made the announcement.

I suspect we might learn a little bit more on Thuesday's episode. They have to build up some momentum for that new twist.

Thursdays episode? Do you mean Tuesday since the live show (and the twist I assume) are Wednesday?

Thuesday ... LOL, great typo. I had to reread to decide whether you meant Tuesday or Thursday, Dan. Of course, then I realized the show doesn't air on Thursdays. :)

Here is the new twist... The veto holder will be able to use the veto and will also have the power to give 'immunity' to one other person.

Dan

Soooooory about that.

I obviously meant Tuesday. Put that mistake on innattention and the fact that English isn't my first language (I'm French Canadian). Or that I need another coffee.

At least this proove that threads are being read attentively.

Geez- I didn't even read it as a typo. I just thought it said Thursday- haha.

I think with as few people as they have left they cannot do that with the veto- at that point they might as well just allow the veto holder to select the new nominee. After Justin or Rob are voted out, there will be 6 people in the house and they'll fill these roles:

HOH
Nominee
Nominee
Veto holder
Voter
Voter

If veto holder got to give someone immunity, there is only one other person that could go up. Might as well let veto holder choose since taht's what s/he would be doing anyway.

Hey Darkhorse ... I just clicked on your profile. It says you're from "Willow Grover" -- is that a typo? I'm very familiar with Willow Grove, but never heard of Willow Grover ... LOL, sounds like a depressed Sesame Street character.

I think the new twist has something to do with eviction or HOH comp. I just can't figure out what it could be.

The perfect new twist would be for the remaining houseguest to get to watch the evicted houseguests on the plasma screen to see what lies/truths are being told.

Maybe the twist will simplify things. Perhaps the Veto Holder will no longer be immune from being put up themselves. This would prevent the veto holder from having greater power than the HOH. As it stands now, they will.

Existing way example.

Jack HOH
Puts up Jee/Robert
Allie wins POV and takes off Rob or Jee
Jack forced to put Jun up.

New Way - Jack could put Allie up.

Personally I'm thinking if there is a twist, it will be small. They BB will announce it like it is some big deal, but in reality it will change nothing and just be cosmetic somehow. I just can't come up with anything that would be a good twist that wouldn't be completely unfair to the existing HGs. I guess we'll see...

well apparently the twist could take some time...the eviction voting is apparently going to be done today and not live tommorrow...I just hope it's a good twist...

Kaili

Nobody would ever even consider using the veto if they would be at risk of going up. They might as well scrap the whole idea then.

They sure aren't hyping the twist much. most of us probably didn't even see the announcement about it on the show (I saw it later when I was rewatching- I left the tape run instead of shutting it off right after the show really ended). Have there been commercials? The CBS website says nothing that I can see.

The twist is: Nate and Dana have been roaming the walls of BB4 watching them! (maybe)

Just a thought -- A new twist might be something that would totally mess up someone's game plan or weaken the strong players left in the house. At this point, the strong players are the males in the house (4-3). Hopefully Jun will not use the POV because she wants to keep a balanced male to female ratio, so maybe the twist is designed to pit males against females. It seems in the past, once the ratio was in the males favor they began eliminating the females one by one...at least they did in BB1.

Even though women have left early, it is usually balanced (or they have the majority) by the end. That happened in BB2 and BB3. BB1 resulted from viewer voting so I don't even count that one. Once Ali was saved, the tide turned totally this season. A guy will leave this week and it is likely to happen next week as well.

Lol! Scarlet. I always thought it would be neat if they somehow found a way to build the sequestration house inside the BB house, or otherwise make it where the jury was living right there, with the ability to look in on them without being seen.
