Okay, so it's pretty clear that "Twists from Season's Past" will be returning each and every week. The Twin Twist and BOTB are all ready on the table. As much as we hate BOTB I think this won't be a one and done thing. We will be stuck with it for quite awhile I'm afraid. It's real purpose is less about throwing a monkey wrench into the hamster's plans but more to pad the Sunday show with something to air instead of pointless food comps we don't give a poo poo about anyways. As we saw last season BOTB can be gamed and the concept is flawed but it ain't going away unfortunately.  Twists I feel are an absolute lock to return will be Resurrect a Pre-Jury Hamster, The Saboteur, America's Player/Team America, Coup d'état, BB Rewind, MVP and Pandora's Box. That only covers several weeks and this season is running 14 1/2. Some of these like America's Player and The Saboteur could span several weeks if the chosen one is successful in their missions. What other twists could make a comeback? Secret Partners? Project Ex? Coach's Corner? What about a BB2 Week where the POV hadn't existed yet? What about a BB1 Week where America Evicts? At the end of the day, Grodner hates us all and is not as clever as she thinks she is. This BB Takeover thing is just a catalyst for her to pick and choose at will what she'll throw at the house hoping it will stick and be successful via complete happenstance. What say you? edit: I can't maths... 14 1/2 weeks not 24

I agree with this, some of these need a tiny bit of setup and could run more than one week. Same reason I'm guessing Twin Twist starts now but possibly pays off in week 5. Some could also interact in interesting ways. Also wondering if we might get a modified "BB Season 1" week, meaning everyone plays for veto for protection, and everyone else is up for eviction through popular vote. Or, it's left to America to vote from the final two usual nominees. Foreseeing something like this: Week 2 - Saboteur Week 3 - Saboteur/MVP Week 4 - Popular vote eviction Week 5 - Twin Twist / Resurrect a HG Week 6 - Something new Week 7 - Team America Week 8 - Coup D'Etat Week 9 - Pandora's Box Obvious Punishments Week 10 - Pandora's Box Secret Punishments (Someone forced to become Saboteur, someone forced to vote what America chooses, etc.) Week 11 - Something new Week 12 - BB Rewind Taken like that, it's really not hugely different from a usual season.

Oh, its a minor thing but I absolutely loved when Austin tried to pull an Elissa in that comp and just broke the whole drat thing. Had me rolling. I hope he breaks all the cheap Big Brother sets this season.

I don't see what peoples occupations have to do with anything. It's all just a bunch of carnival games for physical stuff and there are so many twists now that strategy is irrelevant.

Ok, so I might hate Liz. And Jason. And Johnny Mac. And Becky's accent. And Vanessa talking about game theory. Day 2 group a little more grating than Day 1, but first impressions on BB can be harsh what with the bad introduction videos and the over the top behavior early on. Da'vonne definitely seems like she's going to be the one who games way too hard, way too fast and makes a mess for herself. I love how its always the person telling lies about themselves who ends up convinced someone else is lying about something true. "I lied about my job for a stupid reason, so I bet he did too." Tyree posted:I don't see what peoples occupations have to do with anything. It's all just a bunch of carnival games for physical stuff and there are so many twists now that strategy is irrelevant. I always think its just ego. The people who decide to lie about their jobs almost always have these inflated ideas of how great and difficult their jobs are and how everyone will feel the exact same way they do. And they somehow always choose "teacher", which should probably really offend any teacher. Or maybe I just feel that way because I sucked as a teacher and it drove me to drink. Personally I always say telling unforced lies on Day 1 is loving stupid. They almost always come out eventually and then you're the person who was lying from the second you met. You're living with these people for 3 months. You're almost certainly going to have to tell lies and betray trust eventually but why just do it from the start with a lie you're going to have to maintain in every personal story or detail you share the rest of the summer? Derrick's impressive for a lot of reasons, not the least of them that he managed to maintain his lie all season without anyone ever really catching on. (Frankie did a little but Frankie was paranoid and thought everyone had some twisty lying twist equal to his.) STAC Goat fucked around with this message at 02:27 on Jun 26, 2015 |

Come to think of it, there are zero cops or any law/judicial enforcement on this cast.

I'm watching the first episode of last season's Amazing Race because Phil made it seem very interesting. I laughed out loud when I saw that they had thrown the one black guy in with the one Asian girl. Literally token minorities.

The 2 on big brother were the only 2 that acted at all into each other, and even they are JUST FRIENDS. What a failed gimmick. The dentist dude is a total spaz

Several annoying houseguests this year; hopefully once the hype of getting in the house dies down some of them will chill out and be more relatable. The dentist, however, is giving off a real creepshow vibe.

I would have been happier if they had given America the choice of twist every week. Give us 3, explain them on the website or during the show, and let us vote. This "new mystery twist every week" just means more producer fuckery to try to rig the game the way they want.
