I think the "unexpected" and new twist is just that the sequestered house is "just another house", just down the lot and that the evicted HGs will be filmed and shown to the public (and possibly be on live feeds?). No exotic beach, no maid service, no clubbing, no media etc.

This isn't information that has been given to the HGs yet, or the viewing public for that matter.

Whether or not that is the ONLY unexpected or twisty thing BB will throw at the HGs remains to be seen, but in itself is does qualify as the twist they're all speculating about.

I hope the unexpected is NOT that nothing new happens at all.

Lat year, before the show started, weren't we told that there would be three twists throughout the run of the show? I seem to remeber the first twist, the announcement if the second twist, etc. I haven't heard anything like that this year though...Maybe they thought the exes would be enough. I suppose they can always decide there's a need for one, but I wonder if they actually have one planned or not.

I don't know if I see the sequester house as a twist really. The twist with last year and the sequestering was that someone could come back. I really don'tt hink they'll do that again (although with them all being together it could make it a lot more interesting). A twist would likely refer more to how the game itself is played, and I'm not sure that the second house would affect it all that much.

I also don't want them to know about the house and being together in it- I'd rather they show the evicted HG's reactions to it as they walk in on the beginning of each Friday show.

Kaili, Jack was talking about the upcoming twist last night..

Possibly the twist actually has to do with why they all looked so upset after going to the DR (before the veto challenge). I honestly don't believe it was because of the chance involved in the way the competition was done. I know there was something about taking a deal- I think the twist may have something to do with taht and maybe they still aren't allowed to discuss specifics.

Or maybe I'm just hoping the twist will be something more fun than the second house. I want a twist taht will completely disrupt the order of things.

in regards to the sequester house...
Julie should play "Let's Make a Deal"... with the evicted HG somehow working "how honest were you in the house?" into it. Regardless as to how the HG answers... show them... behind door #1 Cancun Beach House.. sorry.. behind door #2 Acapulco Bungalo... ah nope... you get behind door #3 a cbs lot house with all the trappings of the place you just left!.. LOL. Snap a picture and then use it for the next HOH competition. Why is this evicted HG looking so glum? LOL

Here's the twist I would like: As they do in The Amazing Race, there are pre-determined, non-elimination rounds. The contestants don't know until they get to the end of the leg if the last team in gets the boot. I would love it if this week, they let them hang until the last second and then tell them, "In one of two pre-determined, non-eviction rounds, Jun and Dana, you are safe!" Then, watch Ali's head pop.:)

Sequestered hgs will be seen on the PLASMA SCREEN and will bug the hgs from there...

I think whatever the twist is it will happen after Dana is evicted. I also think that if it involves someone or something entering the house, they will tell them about it today, so that they can have it for Tuesday nights show. It will be a teaser for them today, and then a reveal on Weds. That's how they've done it in the past.

Last night (around midnight) all the buzz was about the twist. The Diary room told Nate (and others maybe). There was lots of conjecture from lots of houseguests about what it might be. They guessed: Another x? POV will save two? Nates x? One of the evicted?. They seemed to all think it would be this week.

(I cross posted this earlier in the sightings thread... probably is better here)

Since it's supposed to be something happening this week, perhaps it will have something to do with how the HOH is selected. An 'on the spot' secret election would be interesting. Yanno, HGs standing in their stalls, told to write down who they want to be this weeks HOH and when Julie says 'go', hold up your answer. That could be fun.

Kaili

And maybe it will be as simple as the non-evicted HG becomes HOH...

Wouldn't it be great if this were a giant FBI sting operation, and Jack arrested all of the other HG's?

Another fun twist would be that the HG's who are going to be sequestered will have to be sequestered with their X's if they were one of the singletons on the show.

(Can't you just see how far Dana's eyes would bug out? Mwahahaha!)

Chai, considering how reality shows seem to attract contestants with criminal (or at least not squeaky-clean) histories, I love your idea of Jack being there to arrest them! Priceless.

A great twist (and totally unexpected) would be if the contest for HOH was an actual competition and not some kind of ping pong ball, carnival side show, magic trick that fixed the outcome.

Another change in routine for the HGs (not really a twist) is that voting could be done live Wednesday night starting this week. The producers do not have to bring anyone in for the evictee due to their being sequestered. Also six votes would not take that long to go through on the live show.

The HOH should have to nominate immediately after winning so there's no time for discussing- they would all (in an alliance) have to decide who to put up and stick with the plan if they won. And the veto meeting should be done right away too so there is no time for campaigning.

Kalli,
I would agree from a game strategy sense, but look how bored these HGs are due to the failure of the producers to provide organized activities (i.e. daily or weekly tasks). Any event other than the live eviction or HoH competition that can't be edited into a neat little highlight show package would require too much work by AS&Co., so they would never consider it.

I think a cool twist would be no HOH this week and everyone gets a little something from home. Instead of the HOH contest just put up expect the unexpected. A mighty fine dinner so the weak ones can get back in the swing of things. Then have competitions everyday to accumulate points. The last competion being on Monday morning. The two with the lowest points are up for eviction. That way everyone tries and strategy is put off until the lst two days.

I just had a thought. What if the next evicted hg doesn't leave the house? What if Dana is evicted only by game purpose, but she doesn't leave the house. She's there to only observe and shake some things up. Since Arnold and Allison did The Family in that reality show the eliminated family does not leave the house.

Wouldn't that be cost effective for Arnold and Co?
That is Scandalous. My guess Julie will tell them right there on live show.

I think what would really be interesting for this twist would be if they decided to add a current boyfriend/girlfriend. Donny could be the new guest that no one in the house knows about.

Scandalous, Oh my god, that would be great! The look on Alison's face if she knew Dana was staying and vice versa. That would be priceless!

Maybe let the departing HG pick the next HOH as their last way to get even before they leave?

Scandalous- that is the best suggestion for a twist I have heard yet! I don't think it will happen but what a priceless idea....

This is more of a suggestion for next year rather than a twist, although it could be done for just the upcoming weeks as well

Tell the HGs that the final HoH competition (when there are 3 left, winner gets to choose his/her opponent in the final two) that the winner will be determined by who has the fewest votes to be evicted (in case of tie of course can have a contest then)

This would do a few things of things

Make it more certain that more HGs get nominated;

Make the votes less certain (like a 6-0 to evict Dana; really want to have Jun have 0?);

Make winning HoH and PoV even more important

Happy to hear problems/objections but also additions/support

I had a thought. Even though I tend to agree with Jack and Erika that the Quoridor game would most likely be used for a luxury comp rather than for HOH competition (takes too long and requires an even number of players), it's possible that it could be used for HOH. That would mean that Ali would have to play as well. Perhaps one "unexpected/twist" could be that the current HOH does get to compete, but if she wins she gets to choose the new HOH.

Kind of a fun thought. I'd like to see Ali (if she won) have to name her successor 'on the spot'. If she didn't name Nate, she'd be outing herself to Nate, Jack & Erika. If she did, Justin and his tribe would have evidence that she's one big pile of lies dressed in a human suit.

I think they may have a variation of it for HOH. With all the writers they have I am sure someone can come up with a similar type game that will work. They may also just be trying to distract them from the endless question and answer practicing that goes on for two days before the HOH. Let them think this is related and they wont be counting the tiles on the floor.

how about the audience nominating
