TV ClubHouse: ARCHIVES: Big Brother USA 2003 General Discussions Part 1: NO LIVE VOTE

It seems to me a bit illogical to have had a live vote only last week. I can only assume that on Wednesday there is going to be too much stuff going on, with the twist and maybe a tiebreaker, it could take too long to cover everything.

Still, I can't understand why they did it last time. They are bound to do live voting again, so it must be something special on Wednesday.

It does seem odd- it has to have something to do with the twist because 4 people voting when all they do it say who they want to vote out doesn't take long at all. Even for a tie-breaker, it would only take as long as it takes to say "I vote to evict Justin".

I think this is odd too. It kind of stinks of tampering. Like last week they were trying to give Nathan more time to wheel and deal - and he almost suceeded. Maybe they need more time to introduce their twist, or to set up the HOH comp?

But why bother doing it last week then? Once they start doing it one way, you would think they would stick with it. if they aren't going to do it live this week- why not just start the live voting next week? Maybe they just didn't have anything else to do on the live show last week- no good footage from the week.

LOL- maybe the twist is that the voting isn't live. Wha-hoo.

Or maybe because they realize it's not all that interesting. I was disappointed that Julie doesn't ask them any questions in the DR. A string of "I vote to evict Nathans" was tedious and boring. I'd like to know why they are voting the way they are.

I agree that it is likley because of the twist. Whatever it is will probably take up a lot of time on the live show. Maybe we will also finally see footage from the sequester house?

I would also prefer hearing their thoughts about why they voted for who they voted for.

Maybe they just decided that they didn't like not having the suspense. When they vote ahead of time, they can put it in the show to only show an even vote and not show who the rest voted for, or just not show who any of them voted for, then, the show can have the suspense of who's it going to be. Last week there was no suspense (not that there really was anyway) because we knew right away who was going.

Maybe the twist will be something about giving them the option to change their votes at the last minute or something.

Camel and Crazy--You are hitting the nail on the head. Live voting sucks--you can't hear the excuses given for the vote (probably the most interesting part of the vote) and then trying to select one houseguest to say something nice about each of the nominations is pretty pathetic:

Julie: Ali, now that your bedmate is gone, what do you think about your X, whom you lovingly refer to as "cauliflower ear" being on the block. Do you want to say something special and/or sprinkle him with Molly McButter? And if he leaves, who is your next victim. . .er bedmate. . .once he leaves.

Ali: Uh, I've enjoyed seeing you againg Caul. . Er Justin. And, *crying* oh is my boyfriend watching? I LOVE YOU BABY!

Julie: And Erika, you have put up your X along with Ali's X. Is this a secret alliance with Barbi, a revenge tactic, or is he a MCP (male chauvanist Pawn)? Say something nice to the jerk to see if our viewers will wake up for this one.

Erika: Well I, um, I've said it once, this is not about emotion--because if it was I'd be the first to go into the dairy room and ask if we could evict the old fashioned way, with a rope and a tree. Robert, I hope you stay because I want you to suffer more while you watch the rest of us enjoy ourselves drinking and flirting and winning 1/2 a million.

Julie: Okay that was sweet! Lets get on with the voting!

Maybe they want to see if there is a tiebreaker or not and plan the Live Show accordingly.

I agree the last live vote was pretty lame, especially when it was so unanimous, Julie expected them to change their mind at the last minute.... she should know better by now..

Going along with what Gina said, maybe they're making sure that Justin will be voted out so they can plan a twist that will keep him in there.

Or maybe that's just wishful thinking on my part. :)

Didn't Julie say... we'll see you next Wednesday with another Live Vote and Eviction...

I'll have to rewind the tape...

I have Weirnermr's show summary from last Wednesday's show. I'll be posting it in the next hour or two (**CLICK HERE**), and this is exactly what Julie said at the end of the show last Wednesday:

And one week from tonight, at 9 Eastern, 8 Central, I’ll be back for the next live eviction, and to announce a new twist in the game.”

So, she did not say live vote, she said live eviction.

Oh well, thanks Spygirl (btw, I so love your transcriptions).


If there is a TIEBREAKER Erika will be told to FLIP A COIN!!! How about this double twist...:)

You are welcome, Spunky, but I don't do the transcriptions, I just coordinate them. The volunteers do all the hard stuff :)
