Sanfranjoshfan | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 01:06 pm     I have a couple of questions about the POV this week. There are so many posts to sift through looking for the facts among all the speculation, I got confused! 1. Did BB actually tell the HG that this week's POV was called the "Diamond POV"? 2. Have the rules of the "Diamond POV" actually been explained to the HGs by BB, or are all the Diamond POV discussions in the other threads merely *speculation* on the part of the posters and the HGs? (Scanning through all the posts on this, I couldn't figure out exactly what is known as *fact*, and what is just *speculation* that has resulted from deductions supported by clues and tidbits shown on the live feeds.) |
Justshirley | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 01:12 pm     Sanfran -- Yes, BB did call it the Diamond PoV, and it is apparently made out of clear plastic. As far as the powers it confers, it is all based on speculation. But speculation based on some fairly convincing evidence. It has been acknowledged on the feeds that both Robert and Ali are safe this week. It has also been acknowledged that Erika and Jun are both on the block, since both have had private conversations with Alison about whether their alliances still hold and both have been assured quite convincingly by Ali that the other will be evicted. Ah, what a tangled web we weave . . . |
Grannyg | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 01:21 pm     But SanFran, We have had no decisive explanation of why the "diamond" veto and what that entails. If it is no different than the Golden Veto, why change the name and if it only denotes that it is a "new" veto since never before has there been a veto with F4, then why make such a big deal out of it? And thus, ensures the speculation. |
Justshirley | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 01:30 pm     But it IS different from any other Golden PoV, because it puts the PoV holder in the powerful position of getting to choose who to evict. Granted, this is merely power by default, since there is only one person voting, but it has never happened before. Therefore, they are pointing out the difference to the viewing audience by bestowing on it a new, impressive designation. |
Grannyg | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 01:37 pm     So why have Nominations? Why not just do the POV because the other 2 are up anyway and one is gonna go? So that would mean at F4 there is no Nom's only a POV. The other 2 are safe HOH and POV. |
Justareader | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 04:52 am     dogdoc - since noone answered you: I have dsl and the live feeds running on a 667 processor with win98se through BBlive. Sometimes - rarely, but more recently than in the past - the feeds are as clear as tv. most the time they are choppy (like fast running still shots) but always worth it because the sound (for me) is always good and I am mostly listening anyway... |
Dogdoc | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 05:48 am     Thank you Justsreader. I just came back here to see if anybody answered me. We Web tv people cannot get live feeds. Isn't it great to have the board up and running! Thanks to all the live feed posters who keep us informed. |
Jazzzy | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 07:50 am     Robert won the phone call, and was surprised that his daughter was crying too. Ali won the luxury, took Jun along on the Good Year Blimp ride. Jun got sick, and didn't remember much of the ride. They each got a camera to take pics. Robert was pointing out where his house was in the pics. They all were unimpressed with the prize. Even thou it took BB 3 years to get the blimp. Later in the DR, one of the producers asked Erika, "what do you guys think, this is The Price Is Right?" Rob is still talking about winning a car, but has bb ever giving away a car? |
Prisonerno6 | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:21 am     Jazzy, yes, one year they gave away a car (BB1 or 2 -- can't remember which). Everyone had to sit in the car and the last one out got it. |
Kellirippa | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:21 am     It was the year with Bunky and Kent, Kent won. |
Cliotheleo | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:22 am     Jazzzy, BB gave away a car the first two years. Kent caused a stink on the second season because he didn't let Autumn win the car (some thought she was more deserving.) |
Lakegal | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:23 am     Kent won a van in BB2. They all had to stay in the van as long as they could. |
Jazzzy | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:25 am     oh ok, thanks, how could I hve forgoten that? |
Chiparock | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:29 am     The famous car incident! It was BB2 and came down to a battle between Autumn and Kent. Kent outlasted Autumn (who needed a car) and everyone was sure that it would put a target on Kent's back for depriving the poor single mom of transportation. Eventually, Kent was evicted but not because he won the car; Autumn went before he did. Ah, the good ol' days. The car substituted for a 3rd place. Then AS got cheap. |
Nonconformist | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:30 am     Jazzzy, If I remember correctly, Ken won a car at the beginning of BB2? At the very beginning of the show, they all piled in and whoever stayed in the longest won the car. |
Ministryoftruth | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 08:32 am     Didn't Chicken George win a car too on BB1? |
Kalekona | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 09:08 am     Ali didn't choose to take Jun, Jun came in second in the comp. and the two with the best times got the blimp. |
Justshirley | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 12:25 pm     Absolutely correct, Kalekona. I was rather annoyed by that, in fact. It seems to me that, at this point in the game, the ability to spend truly private alone time with someone can be a HUGE advantage and, IMO, the winner should have gotten to choose whom it would most benefit them to spend that time with. That's why I was surprised that Ali didn't throw this competition. She was the last HG to compete, and knew that Erika was in last place. Seemed to me that a blimp ride with Jun was a whole lot less valuable than the opportunity to spend several hours alone in the house with Erika working on insuring her jury vote, without fear of being interrupted or overheard. Mind you, I'm happy with the way it turned out, because, to my great shock, I quite enjoyed watching Erika and Robert alone yesterday. |
Sunrvrose | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 12:51 pm     Hi, where can I find info about why the site was down and links to chat or there tvch links for if it happens again. This is the longest I can remember it being down in the past 3 years. |
Punky | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 12:54 pm     Can anyone tell me approx. when Erika's meltdown happened. I have read a few references to it being in live feeds...but can't find it. I have been totally lost all weekend without this board and I'm dying to know what happened...Thanks |
Kaili | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 01:01 pm     Sunrvrose- use this site when there are problems (to get updates as to the status of the board). http://www.enbcom.com/tvclubhouse |
Catchme | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 01:06 pm     Punky - what meltdown? I didn't realize that this had happened. I hope she's better now and was able to talk to the Dr. She's in a bad situation right now and it's a shame. |
Lostintheglades | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 01:10 pm     I don't remember anything about a meltdown. No one has been talking today at all. Jun said something about how she must be talking to the shrink since she's been in the DR so long but there's been no confirmation of that. |
Jazzcat | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 01:15 pm     will there be a pov meeting or will it be live this week? anyone know for sure? |
Meggieprice | Monday, September 08, 2003 - 01:18 pm     Punky- I was wondering about that too- saw mention several places of Erika crying and saying she doesn't want to leave Saturday night when all the women were drunk and hoped to get the lowdown here... |
