Well, but he STILL didn't know Ali would win it (skeptical speculation aside) and that's my point. I'm not a huge Ali fan, but all of this constant talk (and I realize there's a bit of humor in it) that rules should be changed to get her out of the game simply because we don't like her is annoying the peas out of me. :)

I love the idea of a twist happening and pulling the rug out from under Ali- I know that she knows who she is voting to evict but still persists in promising both and I find that really low. I think Jiggly is right but this thread is about dreaming- so I like the idea that Ali vetoes but Robert votes...

Well then I'm just gonna start dreaming that you all will quit dreaming that a twist will occur to get Ali out of the game! (ha ha)

I wish something would happen so Allie would not have all the power also. But the key word is veto. The only reason Allie is the only vote is because she is the only one left to vote. I think having the extra veto this year was a bunch of crap. There was no way it would not take away the power of the HOH.

---my point is about him making up rules with the diamond veto---is that we don't know how it actually works--or if there is a twist. Arnie will make up a twist to suit his own idea of who should leave tonight or not--. It gives him the final power

It also makes him a liar for have the POV holder have all the power this week---the only thing HOH has is immunity and a big bed

Maybe she gets a hugh real diamond if she doesn't use it?

I say that, when AS(or more likely AG) dreamed up the Diamond POV, s/he might have wanted to follow OUR often discussed idea: Diamond POV holder could have the power to name her(both nom. are female) replacement on the block, even the HOH will not be safe.

I rather it that way, too.
Ali would put Rob up and hopefully both Er & Ali will kick Rob out. If there's a tie, then sorry Jun, Rob can still cast the tie breaking vote!

Sorry, Clio, but "It could happen!".

Maybe Alison gets to chose someone from the sequester house to take her place.

They would most likely be immediately evicted, but it would extend the show one week.

My only hope for the DIAMOND POWER OF VETO would be for BB to say to Alison that the DIAMOND meant, "DIAMOND IN THE ROUGH", and whoever won it has to be EVICTED. LOL.

Sound good Chy. I will hope you are right, but will not hold my breath.

My wish is based on the looks that TPTB had hyped the battle of the sexes earlier and might rather an all female F3.

BB has already started to pour on Rob, showing on tv show how awful he could be at times, probably thinking there was no chance for him to survive after Jee's booted. (Who ever thought Rob could win HOH this week? Not Jee, not Justin, not even Rob himself!)
Now it seems Rob could even actually win the big bucks and make the production/casting teams jokers!

BB was definitely promoting the battle of the sexes, and ensured the power shifted to them at that particular time. Notice how (in order to promote the show) they switched the HOH power back and forth, the whole season long! And remember how we kept getting FOTH everytime Robert said his "button" wouldn't work for the competition with the 3 girls when Jun won HOH. That's very much like how this POV competition was only working in Ali's favor. :(

Since it seems so "fixed" I don't see why they can't please the fans by making that DIAMOND veto really work so HOH still has more power than Alison!

Chief1, I remember Robert saying that about the button. At the time, I still had the tape of the show, so I went back and rewatched that part. In my opinion, Robert was hitting the button after someone else had already pushed theirs, so he was late in pushing button. I have since taped over that show.

I hope the DPOV turns out to mean that just as Ali has completed her little veto speech and used it ONCE again...Julie says"Er, so sorry Ali! We forgot to tell you, you cannot use it on yourself" OR "Robert, now that Ali has taken herself off the block...we can tell you that you can put her right back on!"
A girl can dream can't she?

What Diamond veto? The only place we have heard that is in Ali's mouth. She gave it that name because that Veto seemed more powerful than the previous ones. But it fact, it works exactly the same way as the previous one. The person holding the PoV can pull him/herself or somebody else from the evictee seat. That's it, that's all.

The fact that this time, the PoV holder become the sole voter is "accidental". If Robert had won the PoV, he would no be the voter, Erika would have been the sole voter.

Obviously, the fact that there are only four HG changes the dynamics of the vote but that has been true all along, like when the number of voter is even, providing the HoH to cast the deciding vote.

I have not seen any reference by the producers to that "Diamond" veto. This is an Ali invention. The producers cannot and won't change that rule in mid course, and more so without announcing to the HG and the public in advance. Doing otherwise could be perceived as vote tampering.

The first indication we will have of a change in the show ending will come tonight, most likely at the end of the show when they will announce what's coming up next and when.

Dan -- the HGs were talking about the Diamond PoV right after the competition and somebody asked Ali what it's made out of, and she said clear plastic. It is not merely a figment of Ali's imagination.

How lame was this comp???

We've seen that stairs comp on Survivor in Africa, but how hard was it really, I didn't think it was such a hard comp.

And Jun making that stupid mistake??

And how could Ali go in the DR and complaining that Erika was on her knees begging for merci... when we all saw how she was just kidding...
Either that's bad editing or Ali can't read people as well as she thinks..

Alison needs an excuse to not like Erika right now, because she's probably going to boot her.

Spunky, I agree with you about the stupid mistake Jun made. It didn't even look like an honest one either, because I saw her look over at Alison (who was almost done). She probably made a quick decision to stand there long enough for Ali to win, so SHE wouldn't look like the bad guy! uggggh

Erika and Robert (since we now know there's no new twist to the veto) had better start ratting Jun out!!!! It may be the only way to piss off Ali enough to vote Jun out.
