Well, I actually meant that they are bringing back "America's Choice". Remember when they used to ask America whether they would want the houseguests to have A. a microwave, B. a clock, or C. a blender. Just something like that. But, what you said would make sense, and I think that would be incredible if that's the case. Either way, I hope the twist is good, and not dumb.

Unfortunately, I doubt that the twist will bring someone back in. I remember last year they had trouble fitting the season in it's July-September run that they had to have two evictions in one week (Adria and Marvin).

Very true, but I'm hoping!!

But, Julie has been kind of hinting, and House Calls has been a lot more strict. Last year, the evicted HGs were allowed to talk to the viewers on the phone directly, and answer their questions and talk to them, etc. This year, they haven't been able to talk directly to the people on the phone; the calls are screened and the questions written, then presented to the HGs. They don't talk about the twists either, as if they don't want to give info away. Kinda suspicious.

I do think, however, if they DO bring someone back in, it would be Ashlea or Eric. Why? Because it seems that if they WOULD bring someone in, it would be the partner of someone that is in the house so they could try for the million because, prior to their eviction, they didn't know if they made it to the end the money would be higher. Like Ashlea said, if she knew she was fighting for a million, she would haved tried harder. So that kinda sucks because then Michael or Kaysar couldn't come back.

But, like you said, very unlikely that one of them would come back. More like wishful thinking.

Who knows. I'm still hoping. Normally I wouldn't make such a hope or assumption that the twist is for a person to be voted back in the house, but Julie has been dropping what I percieve as HEAVY hints to the houseguests voted out that the game can change. So it's gotta be something that effects the people already voted out, I'm thinking. What's cool is, if it is true, 3 of the 4 evicted houseguests would be an additional help to the GOOD side (the outcasts) of the house. Kaysar would obviously go back to the outcasts, Michael is really close with Janelle and would work with the outcasts, and Ashlea would go straight Janelle as she is her partner, and work with the outcasts. It's so sweet. We'd just have to avoid Eric being voted in, and both Michael and Kaysar have better numbers on popularity polls.

Here's an article that says the twist is something really major, and not just choices for the houseguests to get a new house appliance or some stupid thing:

Fans to vote in 'Big Brother' twist

By JOHN POWELL -- JAM! Showbiz

'Big Brother' host Julie Chen.
'Big Brother' is tearing a page out of ‘American Idol’s’ book.

CBS has announced that on this week’s live eviction broadcast, host Julie Chen will be bringing back the ‘America’s Choice’ option to ‘Big Brother’.

Through cell phone text messaging, viewers will be able to “influence the course of the game” and vote on a crucial poll after the episode airs. Fans will also be able to cast their votes on the official CBS Internet site as well. The twist comes at a time when the 'Big Brother' house is clearly divided into two separate alliances which will be dead even at five per side once this week's eviction takes place.

Rumours on what the actual twist will be range from viewers getting to pick who wins the Head of Household title this week, which evicted HouseGuest should re-enter the house to continue playing the game or even who is given immunity from eviction or which player should be awarded the Power of Veto.

PEACE, Mike

im pissed!! .....stupid maggie!

God, it would be incredible if WE got to vote someone back in the house. Even though I don't mind Ashlea or Michael coming back, because they will want what we want, Kaysar/Janelle going back in would be awesome. I really don't know who would vote Eric back in, so it would be great.

Game wise, I would like Michael back in because he was the one who clued them all in to what was going on in the house. The night before he left, he sat down with Howie and told him all the pairs, who to evict, and the order to evict them. Him and Kaysar planned it all out before he left. Kaysar came out looking like the mastermind, but a lot of what Kaysar planned had to do with information that Michael fed him. I think Michael would be the smarter person to bring in the house, especially since Kaysar has been revealing too much of his plans and ideas to April and other members of the Core alliance. I think Michael would have also been a lot less trusting of James then Kaysar was.

Personally, I'd like Kaysar (or Ashlea) to go back in, just because it would piss the fuck out of Ivette and the core (Kaysar) or just annoy them hell out of them (Ashlea). They all got rid of Ashlea because she was annoying -- having her back in would be great. They still talk about, to this day, how annoying Ashlea was. I would love to throw her back in there to start some controversy. And having Kaysar back in would just be a blow to the core, which I'd also love to see.

Eviction night tonight. Are we assuming that Kaysar is heading home? All the wishful thinking in the world can't really change that they're not blind, and they seem him as a threat in the HOH competition after the eviction. He'll be thirsty for blood, but so will Janelle, Howie and Rachel. James and Sarah are on the fence for me, and I wouldn't mind seeing both of them put up this week. They're the most dangerous pair in the house now.

Kaysar sealed his own fate last week. It was way to soon in the game to show that kind of public display of arrogance. Telling everyone in the house that your a brilliant strategist and all that other stuff will get you NOWHERE. Plus, an alliance of six when there are still 12 people left in the house is not solid (as I mentioned before).

As for the rest. Maggie's a real tough cookie, but she needs to get over Eric and focuss on what's in her current best interests in the house. She could have possibly gone after Howie and Rachel (the most dynamic duo in the house IMO), but instead went after a weaker (albeit 100 times more egotistical and self-important) player in order to avenge Cappy's loss.

Janelle has been on thin ice since the get-go, but it seems like it could hold for maybe one or two more weeks. Spazette and Beau are loud and obnoxious, but when it comes to targets, their just small bleeps on the radar. However, when the going starts to get tough, they'll be expendable and, as a result, get cut. Think of Karen from BB5.

James is willing to slit anyone's throat, including Sarah's, to win the cash, but he has to keep his lies straight. His Bible-swearing slip-up with Spazette (who is the loudest person in the house btw) was a huge blunder.

Howie/Rachel and Jennifer are my current picks to go the farthest in the game.

Agreed. His worst move was to admit how he planned it all out to get Eric out of the house. He showed his cards too early; he admitted to much, thus getting himself evicted this week. Had he kept quiet, he might not be in this situation right now.



Agreed again. She's not playing for herself; she's playing for Eric. She needs to forget Eric -- he's gone -- and focus on what is in her best interests.



I hope she can hold, but maybe not. The Core are talking about putting Janelle and Rachel up, then let one of the get the veto, get off, and put James up to backdoor him. But, you never know when the week when no veto will exist. If they do this, and then the veto isn't won, Janelle will most probably be out. Let's hope they're smart and put Sarah and James up there to ensure one goes.



James is a goner UNLESS he wins HoH this week and DOES put up Rachel/Howie. If he does that, he'll "prove" himself to the core, and they'll likely keep him and Sarah around until they get rid of Howie, Janelle, and Rachel, then they'll dispose of them as fast as possible. James and Sarah's chances of winning are very, very slim.



I would like Howie/Janelle/Rachel to win, but I don't see it happening. I DO see Jennifer slipping through and taking it all, though. Wouldn't be too dissapointed if she did, either.

Boooo, damn it! I hate the twist!

Seriously, bringing someone back in is tacky and lowers the credibility of the game. The fact that America decides instead of the houseguests makes it even more random and pointless.

YES! We get to vote soemone back in! Can anyone say, "HELLO, KAYSAR"? I think he or Michael have the greatest chance of being voted back in because they had the highest results on the "Love 'Em or Leave 'Em" Poll on the CBS site -- and Kaysar's precentage is double that of Eric's. So I think there is little chance of Eric coming back.

Booyah!!! I so called it. Come onnnnnn America! Vote in the right person!!! *cough*Kaysar*Cough*. Or at least let it be anybody BUT Eric. Please. Please. Please.

I'm soooo happy!!!!

PEACE, Mike

As long as it's not Eric, it's good because if Kaysar, Michael, or Ashlea get back in, they're going to be wit hthe outcasts, definately not with the core.

GO OUTCASTS!!!!!!!! HOWIE I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

Wow, they were so good. They knocked out all the right people in the HOH competition, and the last 3 in the game were all outcasts!! I applaud Sarah and Rachel each, as they BOTH knocked out TWO people EACH. I was especially happy when Sarah knocked out Ivette. And Howie knocked out Bo. Wow.

I'm so happy!! The game has totally turned around. And if another person joins the game that will work with the outcasts, it cannot get any better!!

PEACE, Mike

WHAT UP HOWIEEE! I am sooo glad he won. This is great.

I know, I was shaking when it was April, Beau, Howie, Rachel, and Sarah. But Beau and April suck and comps, so no surprise, lol. I'm so glad for Howie. And I am almost 99% sure Kaysar will walk back in next week, so this is just spectacular. But it doesn't matter who it is as long as it isn't Eric because Ashlea will stick with Janelle b/c that's her partner, so she'll help the outcasts, and Michael would never work with April, Ivette, and Jennifer. So, we should be good.

Ashlea that dumb bitch, why did she leave sequester. Idiot could have come back to win a million. People, I swear .

Ashlea chose to leave sequestering (whatever the word is) so she is ineligable. I wonder what her partner, Janelle, thinks of that. I'm sure she'll still be super happy to see Kaysar though.

I'm most convinced Eric won't be coming back. His outbursts and rude behaviour I think sealed him as not being well liked, even by casual fans who don't know the real stuff, and might be fool by editing that is making The Core look like the good guys (stupid editing). I'd love to see Kaysar back since he was just voted out, and he's smart, but if Michael comes back, I won't complain. Michael is close with both Kaysar and Janelle, and if Janelle has been playing the game so loyally with Kaysar all this time, Michael will no doubt side with her and the outcasts (not to mention Michael and Janelle are romantically involved!).

Again, I'm really happy!

PEACE, Mike

Stupid contestants! Why the fuck are they happy about the stupid twist? If I were there it piss me the fuck off that one of the losers is coming back in after I spent all this time making sure my ass was safe. Ugh!

Anyway, I hope the person that comes back in (whoever it is) gets voted out that same week. Pure hilarity

Sweetness. The tide has turned in favour of the sane . Now America has to represent and do the right thing.

That won't happen for the simple fact that next week will probably be endurance. Only because they CAN'T risk the person getting put right back up and kicked out again. Like in BB3, when Amy got voted back in, her competition was endurance -- it was the one where they had to sit in the bathtub and had like dead fish, spoiled milk, etc. poured in there, and she stayed in there the whole time to ensure she wouldn't get voted out -- and she won HoH.


And the contestants can't complain because they're split even -- 5 vs 5 -- and they both could use the extra player. So they're just hoping that they get their player.



Howie, Janelle, Sarah, and James just met in the HoH room, though, and said they all want Michael back in because he never had a first chance. It'll be Michael or Kaysar, I'm almost sure. Who likes Eric? Ew.

The only way that would happen is if Eric returns. Hehe.

I think the contestants were happy because all of The Core members take Cappy as their god, and the chance of him returning is ultimate happiness for them. And then the Outcasts respect Kaysar so much that they would love to see him back, and he was JUST voted out and isn't returning from the very beginning of the game.

PEACE, Mike

And it HAD to be Americas Choice because if it wasn't, they're split five and five, and it would be a tie because they would vote as groups.

Spoilers:




The outcasts want Michael back in, not Kaysar, because they said that Michael didn't get a fair shot at the game to begin with, plus Kaysar would still have a huge target on his back and be voted out quickly.
