Spunky | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:06 am     Something doesn't seem right in this sequence of events. Why would the Jury vote after the questions and not live on Wednesday?? What do we see on Wednesday, a taped vote?? I understand they have to vote before they see the BB shows but what's the reason of having a Finale when the winner has been decided already, we should see the vote live... go figure. |
Sannper | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:09 am     From what I can understand the jury is voting and then watching tapes of the show before the Wednesday show, I think BB hopes to end the show with high drama...no wonder Jun was crying. |
Eliz87 | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:11 am     I don't understand it either, Spunky. Julie wasn't really clear when she explained it and the BB4 official site is no more clear. If it's just an hour-long show, maybe they ARE going to do a taped vote and then spend the next few days letting the HG's watch the tapes, and then Wednesday's reunion will be live. That would be the most sensible solution, I think, if everything is going to be done and over with on Wednesday. |
Earthmother | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:12 am     I think they get to question the finalists then vote then watch the shows then confront. They will probably vote on Monday and watch the shows on Tues. |
Stardust | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:12 am     I think they are just going to announce the results of the voting live. |
Eliz87 | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:13 am     Maybe we'll luck out and it will be an hour-and-a-half long or *gasp* even two hours. That would be GREAT wouldn't it? Either way, I hope they don't end it on a bad note a la Springer (can't help it, I'm a sucker for happy endings). |
Spunky | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:13 am     that's not a reason to cry. Ali seems happy with the 50k why couldn't Jun be happy with the 500k? I just can't see how they can vote ahead and then do the key thing on the Live show. |
Earthmother | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:15 am     If all they get to watch are the shows then there probably won't be any Springer antics. If they got to read the live feeds it would be a blood bath. |
Avrey258 | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:18 am     And why do Ali and Jun keep saying that they have to stay in the house until Saturday? They have said several times, "seven more days". This made me think that there will be a wrap-up show of sorts maybe next Friday night? I don't know but Wednesday's show should be packed full if we are going to see all these things happen. |
Lakegal | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:23 am     I don't believe they have to stay in the house until Saturday. But they have to stay in LA until then. They both want to go back home. |
Ark | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:24 am     Avrey, I don't know if Jun & Ali misunderstood or if we're just misunderstanding what Jun & Ali are saying. I think they are committed to CBS until Saturday, so cannot go home until then. That doesn't mean they have to stay in the house until Saturday, just that they can't fly home until then. |
Charvie | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:26 am     They have to stay with CBS and in LA until Saturday. Weds, they leave the house and than go to a hotel until the wrap party Sat. Jun is upset because she just wants to go straight home. |
Earthmother | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:28 am     If I were Jun I'd want to get out of Dodge asap too.. The longer she is there the more chance some people will find out what was said last week. |
Meggieprice | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:30 am     Spunky- if I remember correctly when they vote they put a key with the name of their vote in the key box. Then they get up and pull the key out and say their vote live. So they have already voted but then in speaking it, it is like voting live. |
Gina8642 | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:38 am     Even though the vote will occur before Wednesday, it won't be revealed to us (or Ali & Jun) until Wednesday night. Think of it like Survivor - just because the contestants voted back in X (Where X equals whatever island/remote location) know one knows the results until the are revealed. And, unlike in Survivor, the vote only needs to be kept secret a few days - not many months. This is exactly how they did it in BB2 & BB3 (vote a day or two ahead and reveal live on finale night). The only difference is the Jury house. Becuase these HGs have been sequestered, they haven't seen the tapes. In previous years, the evicted HGs went home, where CBS assumed they'd watch the show (turns out, some don't bother). So now, they have to show them the tapes to get them all revved up and Jerry Springer-esk for the show Wednesday night. I think because they had time - due to CBS extending the schedule, they are voting relatively early (I guess today or tomorrow) which gives them plenty of time to watch the tapes. |
Cosmo | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:44 am     Clarification needed: I understand the evicted HGs don't see any DR footage before they vote. Do they see the shows at all before they vote? What is the point of voting and *then* seeing the shows? It doesn't matter about the reactions anymore. It's over. |
Gina8642 | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:48 am     Cosmo - BB/CBS still has one more show on Wednesday - the better the reactions, the better the ratings. CBS has a lot to gain by showing them the tapes. |
Lyn | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 08:56 am     I just checked out the schedule at Zap2it.com and BB is only an hour on Wednesday, with no follow up show. Guess they'll wrap everything up right away and then move on to the HGs reactions to the tapes |
Spunky | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 09:02 am     But what if when they do the key thing on Wednesday they change their mind and vote differently?? Oops, I guess they can't change their mind after watching the BB shows... they have to stick to their original vote. I can't remember how it went last time,, it's the key that they release from the box with the name of the winner... does it mean that they'll have more keys made with their names? bummer.. |
Spear | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 09:03 am     They still have to show the Q&A session before the votes so I'm afraid we won't get to see enough of the explanation of votes and the HGs reactions to the tapes. |
Chief1 | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 09:30 am     Spear, so in that case, what a letdown! All season long, we've been waiting for BB to show us the nitty gritty, and give us the big twists they kept promising. Boy, did they let us down! This would be their chance to redeem themselves, but sounds like there won't be enough time in Wednesday's segment. |
R151996 | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 09:39 am     If the jury gets to watch all 32 episodes unedited, that's around 23 hours of shows. They would have to start watching by Monday at the latest to finish the series. Jury questions today and voting tomorrow would fit the required timetable. They might even get to start watching episodes Sunday. Ali and Jun should get the same opportunity to watch episodes that the jury gets. That would allow them to respond to the other ten HGs with some well-placed questions and comments of their own. Plus it would occupy a good chunk of their time in the house. |
Justshirley | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 09:42 am     Spunky, the keys used for the final vote have the voter's name engraved on the top (the part that sticks out of the box), and the name of either Ali or Jun engraved on the long part of the key (the part that fits inside the box). Each jury member reveals their vote by pulling out their own key and showing whether it has "Jun" or "Ali" engraved on it. |
Monalisahi | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 09:56 am     They said a 2 hr finale. I just checked tvguide.com and they have it listed as 1 hr (followed by Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire......wooo hooooo <major eyeroll>) Perhaps BB changed it but it just hasn't been changed in the listing. Am I nuts? Didn't they say 2 hrs? BTW, the Bachelor is on for 2 hrs on Wednesday. |
Spear | Saturday, September 20, 2003 - 10:17 am     Where did you hear it would be two hours? Sad to say, but it doesn't seem like they'd reschedule a series pilot for an extra hour of BB4. |
