Anneph | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 08:27 am     Perhaps the final twist of this year's BB is that if the final holder of the POV is up for eviction and if he/she takes him/her self off - the HOH then has the option of putting up the last person. If he doesn't, then the 2nd nominee is automatically evicted. Example: Jun/Ali up for eviction - Ali wins the POV - she takes herself off - Robert can now have the choice of putting Erica up or leave the nominations as stands making Jun automatically the evictee. |
Earthmother | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 08:30 am     Not a bad idea.. |
Earthmother | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 08:36 am     I like this idea because it gives some power to the HOH..With only 1 hg to choose from it's really not fair to the HOH who ultimately should have more power than the POV holder. |
Bronxie | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 08:50 am     ...great idea...but what exactly are the rules under official guidelines. After a veto is used, who can and cannot vote? |
Earthmother | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 08:58 am     BB rules change every year. We have no idea what the hell a Diamond Veto is. It may just mean that whoever gets it weilds all the power and basically decides the fate of the game..who knows. The only thing I do know is that AS has repeatedly said that the POV will not weild more power than the HOH, and if it is used in the same way this week then that's exactly what it does. |
Bmh | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 09:01 am     That is a stupid idea.... That isn't fair to Jun at all...Her campainging to stay would be worthless...That definitely isn't fair to her. If that twist ever happened it would be so biased against Jun staying |
Grannyg | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 09:09 am     Because none of this makes any sense at all that's why I think the veto somehow is tied to the evicted HG's at the other house. Maybe they had a POV comp and the deal is HOH gets to decide if Ali stays or the "other" (who they don't know who it is) gets to come back. I know AS said no one would come back in but somehow AS has got to give the power back to HOH in some kind of twist. If not, then POV IS more powerful than HOH. And HOH would not be worth anything because the one he wanted safe is most likely the one evicted. So his nom's would have had no effect on anything and the purpose of HOH is to be able to get a chance to get rid of who is the most threat to HOH. As we have seen, that doesn't always happen but that is thanks to the HG's not BB. In this BB is the one who is deciding who goes and who stays with no input from HOH. Maybe Rob gets to decide whether or not the veto can be used? To let things stand or to let Ali use it on herself. |
Blink | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 09:11 am     How about if the final twist is to let the jury do the voting? It seems better than the vote depending on only ONE houseguest. |
Fan3 | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 09:17 am     Diamond Veto holder gets to bring back one evicted houseguest? would be nice,,,,,, |
Myjohnhenry | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 09:35 am     My thought is that since AS had said previously that they weren't going to do a "platinum" veto because it took the power away from HOH (and yes I know he isn't always truthful) the HOH gets to vote or gets THE vote. If HOH gets to vote in addition to the POV holder then we have a tie...which could mean the sequester house would come into this twist or there is some other kind of competition or no one leaves this week. If the HOH gets THE vote, then the power totally shifts back to that position. |
Blink | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 10:01 am     Interesting idea Myjohnhenry! Let's hope AS is reading the boards! |
R151996 | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 10:24 am     From the way Erika was asking Ali last night if she had to pack, the HGs assume that Ali is the only vote once she vetoes herself. Of course we have no idea what the HGs have been told during FOTHs. But the sequester house should have no impact on voting before the finals. The best idea posted is that the POV holder is immune if the veto is used, and the vote then reverts to the HOH to evict one of the other two. |
Kalekona | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 10:31 am     Anneph - said the same thing last night since Erika and Robert were apoligizing to jun.. and there has to be more to this Diamond veto than just ali has the power to evict since without a veto Erika had the same power.. But i think I really like myjohnhenry's idea about Robert being able to vote.. but alas i'm sure it will just be ali and erika will be going home. Does anyone think the veto gives ali either a pass on part one of hoh comp next week? could that be why robert kept saying "ali's going to the finals'? |
Charvie | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 10:36 am     "Diamond veto will only be for the final vote each season." Was in the live feed post. The final vote is in the final three. Which means Alison is not safe from eviction. She is gaurenteed to the F2 if she keeps the veto and makes it to the F3. I wish the houseguests had more brains. |
Dan | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 11:06 am     That Diamond veto name is purely fictional. That's a Alison invention. It is suppose to represent the unique characteristics of this last veto of the season. All it means is that if this week's veto holder is someone else the the hoh, the veto holder is most likely the only voter as well (unless the veto holder happens to be a nominee and decides not to use the veto, which would be even more stupid the Marcellas). |
Dan | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 11:08 am     Anybody else notice that somebody said during the last show that there wouldn't be a hoh next week or that this hoh was the last one? |
Dan | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 11:08 am     Sorry, double post. |
Flamingo | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 11:12 am     there will be an HOH next week. Except, next week, the current HOH can compete, and there will be no more nomination ceremonies (since there will only be the HOH and 2 other people left) |
Ketchuplover | Saturday, September 06, 2003 - 11:43 am     I have no problem with twists as long as they're written into the game BEFORE it starts and not put in in an attempt to save certain player(s) I think it'd be interesting to have all the twists revealed before the first nominations. Just a thought |
Spunky | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 11:38 am     Is it true that there is Expect the Unexpected??? Why there was no announcement by Julie on last show?? Mmmm |
Jpgramma | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 12:31 pm     I missed last nights show, but from what I read, Julie expained the DPOV as one where the holder had the only vote to evict a nominee. In addition, I believe June and Erika are the only ones who have been told to pack. (Am I right on this?) If both these suppositions are true, then Robert won't be able to be among the choices for an eviction vote, but.. given the fact that BB finds themselves with an extra week they weren't planning on and given that CBS can't be blind to the fact that this DPOV (as it stands) was the dumbest idea since pet rocks and given that CBS has to know how many viewers will be pi$$ed awf (and may seriously vote with their remote controls) if Erika is evicted tonight and given that BB is now flashing the old 'Expect the unexpected' screen... maybe, just maybe, BB will find a way to bring a jury member back to add to the list of nominees? yes..I AM grasping at straws. |
Spunky | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 12:34 pm     gramma... yep, those are straws.. but at this point we're desperate for something unexpected to happen.. otherwise it's just too predictable.. |
Ezgoing | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 12:47 pm     I want something to shake this house up. With Erika going tonight and Robert not typically a good competitor, the only question remaining is whether Ali or Jun will win the final HOH. Since we know they both want Robert out and will choose each other for the final two, where's the suspense? We need some new factor introduced into the equation, whether it originates from Arnold or the hgs, it's time for something unexpected! *yawn* |
Flamingo | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 12:58 pm     "Expect the Unexpected" has flashed on the plasma screen twice this morning. hee! |
Emdanzma | Wednesday, September 10, 2003 - 01:05 pm     It has!? Cool. Hopefully it's worth a listen tonight. |
