Live voting
Debcakes | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 04:15 am     When I heard they were going to have live voting next week my jaw dropped. Then, I got to thinking....By "live" voting do they mean that they will still have each individual person go to the DR, but just have them do it during the live show or if each person will have to cast their vote in front of everyone? I think in the past the live vote has meant everyone still going into the diary room during the live show but I think it would be MUCH more interesting if they had to vote in front of everyone... |
C1mag | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 04:24 am     That would be fun Deb. The face to face vote. Maybe that will jack up the show a bit. |
Philamom | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 04:26 am     I missed the last few minutes of the show, so I didn't hear about the live voting until just now. I agree, it would be more interesting if they had to vote in front of the group, but I doubt that's how it will happen. When they did the voting live last year when Marcellas and Amy were nominated, Dani and Lisa went into the DR to cast their votes. So my guess is they'll stick to that format. |
Tdot | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 04:28 am     I thought they called it "live" voting each week. For the common person who doesn't have RP, they don't know that voting takes place the day before evictions. Maybe it will be live next week but they definitely won't vote in front of each other. |
Dallasbbfan | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 06:22 am     If it is like seasons past, the HGs that can vote will be called into the DR one at a time during the live show and be asked by Julie to cast their vote. No more of the why I would vote for person one or why I would vote for person two. Just Julie asking them who they vote to evict. Kind of like how they show it now, two before first commercial and so on. The only thing it will do for us is give us very boring Tuesdays on the live feeds (not that they are great now) unless that is the day they get America's choice. |
Jagger | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 06:31 am     I do like the idea of voting right in front of everyone, but as stated I don't think that will happen. What would be really interesting is if they didn't do the veto save until the live show. If they use the veto than the HOH would need to nominate someone live and they would have to go vote live, no chance to get a new game plan in place. |
Spunky | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 08:54 am     They want to make it exciting for the tv viewers but to us here it's so predictable, it will look so lame!! Unless Nate wins POV: Jun: Nate (although Jun and Nate have been getting closer) Ali: Jack (since it's live she shouldn't do as Justin says and knowing after this week she won't have his back and he's not competing for HOH) Robert: Nate Jee: Nate Erica: Nate 4 - 1 Nate you are evicted from the Big Brother House. SO PREDICTABLE!!! Now, please Nate change this for me, win that VETO and save yourself, then I may come back in here and sing and sing... |
Outlawout | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 09:00 am     No, they were clearly trying to make a distinction that the voting would be more up to the minute than they have been. I think the last couple years they did this when the house got small enough to be able to have everyone vote in the space of an hour. But they did go into the DR one by one. The only person to ever vote face to face has been the last HOH, who, rather than nominating 2 (since there are only two left besides herself), just immediately evicts one of the other two. This is done right to that persons face. Lisa did it to Jason last year. |
Seanflynn2003 | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 09:03 am     There is a problem with live voting that they would have to deal with Would the HGs write down their votes, or would they be able to spontaneously change them after hearing how others have voted? With five voters, the first two could vote one way The next HG, who had intended to vote the other way, might think, well the other guy is out, I am going to change my vote It could be that the last two were voting for the second Anyway, it would be better if they wrote down their choice before, and revealed them, rather than voicing them I hope BB has thought this through |
Spunky | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 09:06 am     Sean... it would still be predictable, this time anyway since Nate is so clearly the target. When watching we will all know he's out. Now the veto could change that but only if Nate wins. |
Prisonerno6 | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 09:47 am     "Would the HGs write down their votes, or would they be able to spontaneously change them after hearing how others have voted? " If they vote in the diary room (as they have done in the past), the houseguests won't hear anything about how the others voted. |
Spunky | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 10:39 am     Obviously they woundn't hear how they've voted....however, they'll know exactly who to vote out... and whoever comes in here will know for sure... live voting or not... blah! |
Ariasmum | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 01:35 pm     Hey, that reminds me..........will they get a loved one flown in for each potential evictee? and did I miss something or was there no one there for Dana last night? |
Dallasbbfan | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 01:37 pm     No, there was no one there for Dana last night. |
Diacritical | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 01:42 pm     Dana is being sequestered... no one can meet her. The HGs think she's somewhere on a beach right now... so funny. She can probably hear them over the wall, she's so close. |
Cricket | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 02:43 pm     Dallasbbfan, oh my gosh, that's right. NO ONE was there to meet Dana! I wonder why? She didn't talk much about her parents did she? I thought at least one of her friends would be there. Is it because she is going directly to sequestration? Regarding the live voting, I didn't get too excited because we will still know who is going from the live feeds. They didn't even discuss who they voted for last Tuesday, but everyone knew it was Dana anyway. This will give those up one more day to campaign to stay. |
Scandalousplaya | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 03:32 pm     There is one other time when the voting is done right in front of the person. When it comes down to the final four. The person that is not nominated cast their vote right in front of the nominees...just like Jason did when Amy and Lisa were up. |
Mzcruella | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 03:37 pm     My memory isn't always up to par, but I think in the past I've seen live voting while they all sit there in the living room. Anyone remember this? Or was it a dream ;O |
Spunky | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 03:46 pm     Mzcruella, exactly so, that's what live voting is. |
Debcakes | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 07:08 pm     Well, there are TWO versions of live voting like I mentioned in my first post. They usually only do the voting in front of each other in the living room when it's down to 4 people. I WOULD like to see them shake things up a bit and do that starting now, but I doubt that it will happen. I think it would make things a LOT more interesting if they had to do that....even if they change their mind because of the way someone else votes....it's too predictable right now... |
Costacat | Thursday, August 07, 2003 - 07:15 pm     Mzcruella, when there has been a tie in the votes, the HOH votes right then and there, live and in front of the rest of the HGs. In the past, live voting has been one at a time, in the diary room, with the HGs *not* knowing how they voted. Julie then announces who the new evictee will be once everyone has voted. It's usually a couple of votes, then commercial, then a couple more votes, then commercials, then the last votes, and the eviction announcement. |
Sunshyne4u | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 01:03 am     The LIVE VOTE is quite exciting when we arent sure who is going next. As Spunky alluded to earlier, it is all sooooo predictable!! Every scenario has been thought out.....even if the Veto was used on the Live Eviction show (instead of earlier date) it has all been planned who to put up if veto used. There is no suspense to this game anymore. The minute Justin was 'chosen by the producers' to be HOH I lost interest. I havent even read the Live Feeds since then. WHERE IS THE NEXT TWIST?? and frankly WHO cares about the SUDSY challenge coming up?? maybe some 14 yr olds who want to see some skin on TV......sad sad sad I want REAL Big Brother Back like season ONE |
Mzcruella | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 09:28 am     <<Mzcruella, when there has been a tie in the votes, the HOH votes right then and there, live and in front of the rest of the HGs. >> I know about that rule but that's not what I was talking about, Costacat. And I also remember HGs going into DR casting votes during the live show. But I also had thought there was a time I've seen them all vote while sitting together on the sofa talking to Julie. Spunky, Debcakes and Scandal have reminded me that's when it's down to the final four. It'd be fun to see it done now though... :::crossing fingers::: |
Laisey | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 10:46 am     Oops. |
Jagger | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 11:56 am     The only time I remember live voting in front of everyone is when it was a tie and HOH had to vote and also when it was down to 3 people and the winner got to choose who they wanted to go up against. I think in BB1 they had live nominations each week but I think these were also done in the DR? |
Gina8642 | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 12:07 pm     They've done lots of live voting in past seasons. Just like this year they've waited until later in the season when there are few enough HGs to make it practical. Also, I thought HOH had the option to break the tie in the DR. I seem to remember one tie when the HOH said they didn't mind doing it in the open, and then proceded to vote. It must have been BB2, the first season I watched. |
Gina8642 | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 12:09 pm     BTW - all the live voting was done in private. Julie didn't say anything about a twist in how the live voting would proceed, so I'm pretty sure they will get a private vote again. It will simply happen within the span of the live show. |
Vealprince | Friday, August 08, 2003 - 02:01 pm     I think it would be fun if they cast their weekly vote like they always do...then, on live TV night, be told that those votes didn't count and that they get to vote again on live TV. Throwing in the twist of getting to change your vote after the usual vote lagtime would be interesting to watch. |
