Big Brother 9/3

Dssturbo1 · 09-03-2006, 07:45 PM

ok getting down to the end. so who gets PoV goes to the final 3.

newsposter · 09-03-2006, 08:07 PM

I dont understand something. Why would either of the girls have thought anything other then if they get POV that the other girl leaves? I just dont get all the talk and spying crap when everyone knows the boys are together. So duh...who does it leave left? And why did erika look surprised when she was picked?

Is erika acting? She can't be in that much denial. Maybe the smoke got to her head? And the speech by mike was totally nuts. If she doesn't know by now she's being played.....Mike's speech was just so darn forced

also, why do they (not that it matters now), show us the order of they keys laying there so there' s no suspense who gets nominated?

1 thumb up to Will for making this far?

Mikes comment that both girls think they want the other out is also crazy. BB must feed them lines to say in the diary room. There IS no other choice.

what a boring ep

Even though I have never been a fan of her, I feel very sorry and sad for Erika. Regardless of how the show turns out, she is being set up for a VERY horrific reality of how badly she was used by Boogie (and Will). At this point, I have nothing but contempt for Boogie.

My problem is that I AM fan of Will, but his active encouragement of Boogie is just as bad.

What was a very interesting and enjoyable season has quickly turned in to a train wreck waiting to happen.

You left out Bromance. Or maybe you were repressing it.

timr_42 · 09-03-2006, 10:18 PM

Will is setting up Mike just like everyone else. If he can make it to the F2, he can say, that as the best player, he set up everyone to leave. If he and Mike make it, no one will vote for Mike as he was as much a player as Will, but he was meaner about it. At least Will did it with a smile on his face as he stabbed everyone.

Whoever wins POV should take out Will. If Will makes it to the F2 he will win. If he doesn't, I hope Janelle wins. She was this years James as far as POV and HOH.

d'oh smeeked. My bad.

Fl_Gulfer · 09-03-2006, 11:15 PM

Those are the 2 dumbest girls I've ever seen. The girls should have teamed up a long time ago.

jlb · 09-04-2006, 08:50 AM

Bromance made me think of Seinfeld.

Dnamertz · 09-04-2006, 09:35 AM

If these 2 girls are actually stupid enough to believe that either member of CT would take them to the final two over the other member of CT, then Will loses all his credit for being a great manipulator. Its starting to look like the reason he can manipulate these people is because they are the stupidest people ever. C'mon Erika and Janelle, wake up!!! You know CT are friends outside the house, you know (or you should know) they are taking each other to the final two. We have 3 days left to see if these girls are stupid...if one of them wins the veto Tuesday, then Thursday is that person's chance to vote out Will. Janelle should definitely vote out Will because he is the only one who could beat her in the final two.

If CT wins the veto it will go unused. If that happens, who do you think Will is going to vote out? He's more aligned with Janelle, but she is the biggest threat.

Here's how I think Janelle and Erika (if they're smart) are looking at things at the moment...

4 people left, and the last HOH contest is almost guaranteed to be an endurance challenge. Of the 4 people in the house, the 2 people most favored to win such a contest are Erika and Janelle. So, if that is true, and I personally think it is, if Erika or Janelle wins POV (and therefore gets to vote on who goes home), would you send home the remaining girl, who is more likely to beat you in the last HOH contest, or send home one of CT, who is less likely to beat you in the HOH endurance contest? Because if you win the next HOH, it doesn't matter what Chill Town would or wouldn't do - you're in the final two.

Interesting. I think that many would pick Will to win again instead of Mike. But you bring up an interesting point in that if Will made the finals in any way then he almost has to win. At first I was on board with that statement, give that the sheer amount of anti-past-winner gravity he had to overcome is impressive. Then again, some folks also gave him a free pass, expecting that he would never win given his past.

I think his only major competition in the finals would be Janelle. Like her or dislike her, you can make a strong case for her earning a win. Mike (if paired with Will) and Erika would have a weaker shot.

Then again, I don't think much of this strategizing will come into play. I think Mike and Will had a deal to split the winnings, one way or another, before setting foot in the house. BB Rules or not, they can always split the money via one of the five restaurants they both share investments in.

Because if you win the next HOH, it doesn't matter what Chill Town would or wouldn't do - you're in the final two.

Remember, that only part of the HOH will probably be endurance. The last few seasons have been a THREE part HOH competition.

1 - All three compete in an endurance competition. One winner moves on to part 3

2 - The two losers of part 1 compete (I can't remember the exact type of competition)

3 - The winners of Parts 1 and 2 compete in a LIVE trivia competition with an immediate vote to evict one of the other two houseguests.

I would think that Erika probably has an advantage over any of the other three in Part 1, but Janelle would be hard to beat in Part 3 (she just has to get there!)

I gut feeling is that for either Erika or Janelle to have a chance, one of them has to be the one to evict Wil, either this time (via POV) or next time (via HOH).

They don't even have to do that - once BB gives someone a check, and that check is cashed, then BB has no control over the money. The winner can give $1 to 500,000 strangers, donate it all to charity, give half to a friend, etc.

I agree. As obvious as it is that CT will stick together, I think both girls have resolved that they will need to win it for themselves and take a "beatable" CT member with them instead of the other girl.

I believe there must be some language in the contracts that stipulate that the prize can not be shared. We do know that any talk of sharing the money is forbidden within the house.

I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I'm saying that in CT's case, it's even easier to move funds from one guy to the other and not risk violating any possible contract agreements.

You may be right, but I don't see how you can legally stop someone from doing whatever they want with their own money.

When they are done there is no contract. They can do what ever they want with the money. I thought CT were partners in something out side.?

I hear ya.

Just that lawyers are so sneaky and such, they might just have a way. "Congrats, you just won Big Brother. In order for you to collect your $500,000, just sign these forms."

Like with pro ballplayers not allowed to ride motorcycles. It's in their contract, but they still do it. If caught, they get busted.

Yeah, and in front of a television audience too. And by a wannabe with the looks of Mike Booger....it makes her look so pathetic....she deserves better.

I was cringing when she was in the DR talking about their relationship, she's so naive. Emotionally she's gonna be crushed when she sees that he's playing her.

He's SUCH an a__hole.

TR7spyder · 09-04-2006, 11:41 AM

What I do not understand, is why does CT (and by that I mean Wil) wants to bring Jenny over Erica into top 3?

It seems to me that it greatly reduces their chances of having two members of CT in the top 2. And Jenny is the only person who can possibly beat Will in the two two. I would have thought that Wil would be the one who wanted to get rid of Jenny and do it NOW...

Thanks uncdrew, that sums it up.

Plus, anyone violating "the spirit of the rules" could be uninvited to any future (cash money) appearances on CBS.

Janelle would probably be a better competitor in the final three, but I suppose she also has more enemies. Maybe they're also thinking that turning on her now would spin her into Total Hatred mode and spoil the jury pool, while potentially dropping her in the final three would be viewed as fair game by Janelle. I'd have to look at the jury list again and see if the jury members that love Janelle balance out with those who hate her.

On the gameplay side, Erika has angered fewer people, but she's also played a much weaker "game" when compared to Janelle's competition wins. It's probably smarter to keep Erika from that angle.

Maybe Will is slightly concerned about the relationship angle, since Will and Erika are certainly "closer" than Will and Janelle would ever be. Booting Erika now probably makes Mike lose a vote too - not that I think Will and Mike are in that mindset just yet. Plus, if Janelle had to take a CT member to the Finals, why wouldn't she choose Will? That's a plus for Will.

This POV is going to be HUGE. I'm looking forward to it.

Fl_Gulfer · 09-04-2006, 12:02 PM

The money is probably given out in payments, all the big winnings on TV are that way.

Sir_winealot · 09-04-2006, 12:08 PM

What about the sequester house and reactions upon seeing the latest evictees? Sheesh ...this was such a boring ep, I wish they'd show us a little of that.

umm it's called the IRS. yes, once you pay your taxes it is your money and you can do alot of things with it spend it give to charity BUT there are gifting rules for amounts over $10K+.

didn't julie mention there was going to be an eviction Tuesday?

IF jani wins the PoV she should take out erica.
then if it is a endurance she has an advantage over will since he has a broken thumb, although he will try, the pain will suck and he may think he is good with either boogie or jani winning. IF jani wins and she kicked out will and took boogie who she doesn't like anyway she really proves she was the best player.

the vote goes 5-2 in that scenerio
marci votes jani even though jani put him up it was CT that backstabbed him
howie votes jani, duh
james votes jani, CT backstabbed him too and he knows jani is good player
dani votes jani, said she would vote the best player, another CT backstab
CG votes jani, he likes her
erica votes boogie
will votes boogie
