Default Big Brother 10

Big Brother 10 starts on Sunday, July 13th.

The houseguests have already entered the house and it looks like it is back to basics for the game (finally). People from all walks of life will probably clash naturally rather than BB trying to force conflict on the HGs by putting them in with baggage from the outside world or in ridiculous situations.

Read the bios here:

I am glad they have a diverse cast this year and are not promising any huge twists.

Remember, if your going to discuss anything from that nights show, please wait until after the west coast airing or post in white spoiler text.

And here's the first spoiler:

The first HOH was chosen before the houseguests entered the house by a vote based only on looks. The winner was likely Jerry, the 75 year old superfan.

Pool

I'm so pumped. Summer = Big Brother.

It is possibly the greatest show on television.

I can handle the pool.

How was it done in the past?

I think we should have a points based system.

3 pts HOH
2 pt POV
1 Survive Eviction

I can keep editing my original post to keep track.

I like the idea......but

Only problem with that is you're gonna get people who forget to put their picks in on a weekly basis. I think the easiest thing to do is to a pick one person kinda pool.

We could combine both ideas maybe? We could even select more than one person.

Ex/ snake draft, 16 entrants, 16 houseguests, 32 total selections. Meaning each HG is drafted by two separate poolies. Each poolie has a two person team. Points are awarded using the scoring system described above. Could work, right?

Anyways, I'm hooked on this show now, I'm in for the pool.

I was thinking draft one player for the entire game and the points are give accordingly.

Yeah, lets do it that way. It will keep people interested longer for the HGs that get booted early.

I mind as well join. My g/f watches this every time it's on so joining this pool should make it a little more interesting.
