If Robert can nominate himself then we have a new game! There is NO way that Alison will vote out Robert instead of Jun. If she did vote out Robert the dream team will make sure that Alison doesn't win the big money.
So does anyone know the rules? Can Robert put himself up in Alison's place?
Then Robert and Erika can send Alison packing next week. I would have appreciated her game plan but her character assassinations are ridiculous. Alison has gone beyond inappropriate, even to people outside the house (Donny is poor, my dad only makes 130,000.00 a year, we have mafia members in our family) YIkes~ go home little girl, apologize to everyone and learn from your mistakes.
Go Erika! (first time posting : < )

Howdy Wiseguysmon - welcome! :)

I bet BB didn't think of that option so it'd probably not be against the rules. But I doubt Robert would do it, he's got a decent chance of winning 500 grand right now - so don't think he'd want to risk it. Though with all these girls stabbing each other in the back and stuff this week - he might have a slight, slight chance of staying if he did put himself on the block.

HOH can't nominate themselves. They must pick one of the other players, in this case that only leaves Erica.

Unless Arnie wants to write in new rules and change the game.

And before everyone starts saying how do you know what the rules state? Well I don't know for sure, but common sense with all the previous BB's dictates this as a standing rule.

Stingerman, in previous years there was no veto holder at this point in the game, so the rules change each year. I'd venture to say, "there's no such thing as a standing rule."

If Robert could nominate himself I could see this scenario happening.

Alison uses the veto on herself, so Robert then puts himself up. Then if Erica voted Jun out and Alison voted Robert out there would be a tie. As HOH Robert would break the tie by voting Jun out.

I don't think Robert would think of it even if it were possible though. And if possible, would he put himself on the line to save Erica?

AND, if he did, what would Erica do?

I would like to see it though just to see how the house would react.

I agree, I don't think Robert would think of it..but Erica or June might and, if advantageous to herself would surely tell him.

Rob would never do that.

Now, IF Ali actually DOES want to take ROB to F2, which is the last thing she said in the DR, that she had switched her intended F2 from Jun to Robert.. and if she trusted Jun enough.. she could
use the POV on Jun, with Jun promising to boot Erika, not Ali.

Erika is considered unbeatable in F2 by all of them, I think.

But Jun is considered unbeatable if paired with Ali.

Robert considers himself unbeatable, but he wonders if Erika would beat him.. and knows Ali is most beatable.

Jun thinks she could beat Ali.

So this would mean Ali would rather have Jun than Erika in F3,

(all of this is, of course based on what they think, juries being hard to predict)

However there is still the matter of that final HOH competition and I think Ali is beginning to realize that Jun is also real competition, maybe even more competition than Erika.. so she might choose to still keep Erika.

But.. trying to follow the possible twists of Ali's mind without disappearing permanently in the dark and dangerous recesses therein, Ali really does hate Robert and I think hates that Robert, once again, feels he is in control over Ali.. so that could cause her to do something that would spite Robert's plan to keep Erika there.

And she does suspect, correctly, that Erika has told Robert they are a team. This could also push Ali in the direction of keeping Jun.

Ali is more likely than Robert to take a chance like staying on the block, but

I still think probably she won't take the chance.

IMO there is no way anyone of these people would even think of nominating themselves, they have all said they don't trust each other, why would someone nominate themselves and leave their existance in the hands of people they don't trust.

Wiseguysmom, I don't know if you've been watching the show, lol. Robert could never nominate himself because that defeats the whole purpose of him being HOH, and even if he COULD, it would be highly ridiculous. Everyone wants to be safe, and the only sure way is to be HOH.

You also say that "There is NO way that Alison would vote out Robert instead of Jun". Well, YES way. Alison and Jun have plans to take it to the end together.

Then you say, "Then Robert and Erika can send Alison packing next week". Alison won the POV last night, so there is NO way she's going home. In fact, she's going to take herself off the nomination block and put Erika in her place, forcing Erika to go home. That's what Alison wants. Erika is going to be evicted next week.

I don't know how much more of Alison I can take. I wanted to see her leave next week!
