PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
Greetings all. Welcome to the BBRAT, hosted by myself ARW. Thank you for stopping in.
I am really sorry guys. This post is way over due. Hopefully you guys are going to get this posting in before the show tonight.
Ok so Matt is gone, and I am bummed. I really am hoping for Lane. He has a long haul ahead of himself, but if he perseveres he will hopefully prevail.
I do apologize, I do not have a scoring update for you all. I know I am curious to see how we are all doing but quite frankly, my place of employment this week has me burning the candle at both ends.
This is the last BB Mayhem for this season. I have had 9 wonderful chapters for you all to play. This weeks posting contains the 10th and Final BB Mayhem Chapter. I am calling it Chapter 10: The Recap!
Chapter 10: The Recap, is your choice of which previously played BB Mayhem Chapter you liked the best, and would like another shot at. I will let you decide which one is for you. Should you decide to use certain chapters like Chapter 2: The House Sitter, or Chapter 7: The Scramble, the variables will be changed to prevent cheating. However, the rules for each individual Chapter still apply including how much you will earn or lose in bonus points. I can not wait to see which Chapter intrigued you the most. As an additional bonus, the Player(s) that have the highest over all BB Mayhem score, will also receive 2 Slop Passes.
Please Keep in mind you may have to scroll up to see the information as it comes and goes. Sorry for any problems.
Good Luck everyone. - AvidRealityWatcher, (ARW)
Well I guess we should get to it, so all you have to do is click the Click Here button below and you will be able to get started.
Big Brother Ratings Aptitude Test Created by Tribephyl, and Hosted by ARW
Big Brother 12 House Guests: Rachel Reilly, Kristen Bitting, Britney Haynes, Monet Stunson, Brendon Villegas, Andrew Gordon, Enzo Palumbo, Kathy Hillis, Annie Whittington, Matt Hoffman, Lane Elenburg, Ragan Fox, Hayden Moss
Introductory Premise:
Welcome BBrat mates. If you have never played before, you may wonder what this is all about. Well, quite simply, this is your chance to show the rest of us what you know, think you might know or if you’re a really good guesser.
Each week I will test your ability to see into the future and predict the weekly winners and losers of (almost) every aspect of the show. Including HOH, Nominations, POV, Re-nominations, Competitions, America's Choice, Coup detat, Eviction and any other thing the producers may throw at us.
Each correct guess will result in points being added to your individual tally. Each weeks tallies will be combined for a grand total and the player with the highest overall grand total score at seasons end, will be crowned "The Biggest BBrat!".
Simple and streamlined. Now, even though it sounds like it's gonna be too easy, I must remind everyone that the answers you give will be for the next weeks events. Not, I repeat, NOT for the events leading up to this weeks Eviction show but for the events covering the following week, beginning with the new HOH and ending with the Elimination show usually 1 week later, unless announced to the contrary. This way, the Live Feed will have no effect upon the test. (Outside of the first week when a couple of things typically become known before the first show airs. Those, I can handle.) From then on...start looking into your crystal balls.
I know this may sound confusing, but I promise it does only at first. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. My door is always open to. Quite quickly, you'll be realizing it's all just a shot in the dark.
Lets all please enjoy the show, and of course…
Good Luck to you all.
The BRATT Rules:
1.) This game is open to new players at all times, please feel free to join in at anytime. 2.) Each questionnaires questions will start with and be based on the new HOH and end with the following eviction, usually from Thursday to Thursday. All of your Questionnaire Answers / Predictions will be made regarding the next weeks episode. Each questions outcome will be determined by the show itself. For instance, if a competiton is held but not aired, in the show (either Sunday, Wednesday or. Thursday), it will not count. 3.) Deadline for all entries will usually be each and every Thursday at 7:59 EST, boardtime, and possibly a couple of other times due to the TV scheduling. But safe to say, it will be due before the Eviction happens, whenever that is. Once in a while because of TV Scheduling, Eviction Schedules and things I can not foresee, changes happen. These changes are usually referred to as "PopQuiz"s. These are held when "suprise" events take control of the house and the producers decide to switch the format from the norm. Depending completely on the show's schedule. I will try to stay right on top of things, if something changes. 4.) Those who make an entry after the POSTED DEADLINE will not be considered. 5.) Those who miss an entry will have to go without gaining any points for the week. 6.) If a vacation or other time-constraint happens, you are allowed to have a proxy-player make your entry for you. 7.) Any player who misses 3 entries in a row will be forced to wear the Big Yellow Banana Suit, and then will be escorted out the front door, and eliminated from the game. 8.) I reserve the right to play along, and you may check at any time to see that I am playing it straight. I may have to excuse myself from playing in a BBMayhem Round from time to time, I promise to keep it fair from my end. Any questions Please ask. 9.) Please don’t take this game that serious, and have as much fun as you can. 10.) Congratulate one another when you see them doing well. 11.) This rule is left open for the "Just-In-Case" clause.
I will try to post the new entry thread every Friday, with an up to date result and scoring section in it.
Questionnaires:
Every week I will post questions covering 4 sections. There will be a variable amount of questions, in each section, from week to week. Each question has its own value.
1. FAVORITE HAMSTER: This is but 1 simple question. Who do you think will be the ultimate Big Brother Winner. This question has multiple opportunities to gain bonus points. The object is to show loyalty to your choice. Try not to change your choice as much as possible as the longer you are loyal to him/her the higher your bonus points will get from week to week. If you change your mind, or if you are forced to change your Favorite Hamster Choice, Your bonus level will return to Level 1. Each week you are loyal and make no changes, you will advance 1 level. The maximum amount of points possible to win from this in just one week is 4 times that of your current bonus level points.
2. POWER POSITIONS: These questions will test your ability to predict the HOHs, POV Winners, Nominees, Evictees, and Non-Evictees, testing your ability to predict the various outcomes of the Competitions.
3. CAUGHT ON CAMERA: These questions will test your ability to predict special interest situations. These questions may change from time to time and may be suited for current situations.
4. BB MAYHEM: The questions asked here will test your abilities in some other form of game/challenge I may have decided to create just for this episode. Note also that the outcomes may have direct effects on other participating BBRAT players, sometimes good and sometimes bad. The BB Mayhem is a Bonus Point Section and is completely up to you if you wish to participate.
Favorite Hamster
Who is Your Favorite Hamster:
YOUR FAVORITE HAMSTER BONUS POINTS: Which House Guest do you think will be told, they are the new Big Brother Winner? This is the person you think has the best chance at winning or at least you hope would. This is where the bonus points come in. In order to get higher bonus scores you need to choose YOUR Favorite Hamster and then stick by them for as long as you can. Every elimination YOUR Favorite Hamster survives is a higher bonus value. Example if you choose House Guest A, and you don’t change your mind for 10 eliminations, your bonus points by this point in the game will be 200 points (or 800 total bonus points collectively). If your Favorite House Guest does well enough you may even get double or even triple the bonus.
You may change your answer to this question anytime you like, especially if that person gets Evicted, until there are only 3 House Guests left. Your Final YOUR PICK choice must be decided before there are only 3 players left in the game. This House Guest will be your Final Choice until the conclusion of the game.

Score Board:
Scores:
Scoring Rules:
1. Favorite Hamster: These are Bonus Points for picking a House Guest that survives a whole week, and may have done something special, example: Winning HOH, POV, or a Food Competition, etc.
2. QUESTIONNAIRES: If you answer a question correctly you will receive the points alloted in the parentheses for each question. These points are subject to change but not without notice. If you are wrong with your choices you will receive 0 points. If one of your answers contains a previously evicted HG, it will be worth 0 points. If the question can't be judged, it will be voided. Keep in mind, if your Favorite Hamster does not win anything all week, does not play in POV, and does not get nominated, your Questionnaire points will be doubled, with exception to your Favorite Hamster Bonus points as these are already Bonus Points.
3. BBRAT HOH: Every week, the BRATT player with the highest weekly points will Become the new BBRAT HOH. Other than a nice yet fleeting title, this player will receive 5 bonus points, and a SLOP PASS on the next Questionnaire.
4. SLOP PASSES: Slop Passes can be won 3 ways. The first way is to become the BBRAT HOH winner. The second way is to win one of the BB Mayhem Challenges that has the reward of a SLOP PASS. The third, I may hide a Slop Pass somewhere from time to time and if you find it, you can claim it. SLOP PASSSES can only be used once. Its purpose is to give a wrongly answered question, points awarded anyways. These points are not to be determined until after scoring has been completed. Once the scores are tallied, the lowest point question not answered correctly by the BBRAT player(s) in question will be given a pass, and therefore receive those points. Once a player has won a SLOP PASS its reward will be not be given until the following Questionnaire has been scored. It is from that Questionnaire that those points will be based from. You may not use the reply quote as a way to find a hidden slop pass, you must follow the rules in order to receive such a prize.
5. SLOP PENALTY: Every week, all BBRAT players with less than half of the BRATT HOH's weekly score, will be put on Slop. This comes in the form of a -5 point penalty. Neither of which will taste good.

BBMayhem Chapter 1: The Lottery!
Ok here is how it works: - Pick any 6 of the 10 questions you previously answered. Ex: Questions 1, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9 - You are looking for questions that you think you may have correct. - Type your answers manually in the box provided below - If 3 of the questions you chose are winning answers you get 5 bonus points. - If 4 of the questions you chose are winning answers you get 10 bonus points - If 5 of the questions you chose are winning answers you get 20 bonus points - If all 6 of the questions you chose are winners you win the lottery and get 50 bonus points - If you win any of these bonus points since this is the Recap, I will double them.
Your Answer Goes Here:
BB Mayhem Chapter 2: BB House Sitters!
Ok here is how it works: Imagine you get to enter the Big Brother House for 1 hour. What rooms would you visit and how long would you stay in those rooms until you moved on. In that spirit, I am going to give you 60 bonus points to play with, 1 for every minute allowed in the House. If you do not participate you will not keep these points, but should you play you can increase your points or decrease your points.
Here is a list of rooms for you to choose from: Diary Room Living Room HoH Room Bedroom Pantry Back Yard Dining Room
Each of the following rooms have a different point value. Some rooms are good to be in, and some are bad to be in. You must spend at least 5 minutes in each room, and you must use an entire hours worth (60 minutes) . Rooms vary in points from -10 points to + 10 points. There are 2 rooms worth 5ppm (points per minute), 2 rooms worth -5ppm, 1 room worth 10ppm, 1 room worth -10ppm, and 1 room worth 0ppm and not in any particular order. Every minute you stay in a room is multiplied by that rooms value. The total sum of the minutes gained or lost by the rooms you visit will be your total bonus points you receive or lose and yes it is possible to lose more than you started with. Should you have negative points, I will be deducting these points from your weekly score. In other words, your Mayhem Bonus will be a negative for the week. Maximum Mayhem Bonus is 250 points, Maximum Mayhem Bonus loss is -250 points.
Side Note: This is one of the mayhem bonus rounds I can not play in, as I and I alone know the values and would not be fair to any of you.
BB Mayhem Chapter 3: The Boot and Salute, Loot!
On the Live Eviction Shows, the newly evicted hamster is allowed to see a number of fellow house mates say goodbye. Normally not everyone gets to say goodbye.
This weeks Chapter, The Boot and Salute asks you how many of the Hamsters left in the BB House will get to have their goodbyes aired in front of Julie Chen and the new Evictee?
Now how much are you willing to wager on that?
If you wish to play this Chapter of the BB Mayhem, you will be wagering a minimum of 10 points to a maximum of your total from your own personal current score. Example you have 150 points you may wager from 10 to 150 points on this Chapter. Please check out the Score Board Section for your current Score. If you win I will double your wager. If you lose you lose the points you wagered.
If for some reason you have less than 10 points and would like to play, you may borrow up to 20 points. If you win, you win up to 20 points, if you lose you lose up to 20 points.
How many house guests will be shown saying goodbye to the latest bootee on the Live Eviction Show?
How much are you willing to wager?
BB Mayhem Chapter 4: Chen Bot Roll Call!
On the Live Eviction Show, Name all the House Guests in the order they will be called out by Julie Chen. Julie Chen does not have to talk directly to them, rather just saying their name for the first time is all I am looking for.
Number them each from 1 - 5, from 1st to last, and any that are correct will get you 25 points each. Get 3 or 4 correct get double the points. Which ever house guest leaves tonight, will automatically be removed and all numbers adjusted with no penalty to you. Please do not try to use any HTML in this box.
BB Mayhem Chapter 5: BBRAT Posters!
Nothing to do here, just get your post in as soon as possible. For every posting after yours that is a questionnaire, you will receive 5 bonus points.
BB Mayhem Chapter 6: The Line Up!
On the Live Eviction Show, Name all the House Guests in the order they will be from camera left to camera right during the HOH Competition. For the House guest evicted, I will remove their name automatically from your list.
Number them each from 1 - 5, from 1st to last, and any that are correct will get you 25 points each. Get 3 or all 4 correct get double the points. Which ever house guest leaves, will automatically be removed and all numbers adjusted with no penalty to you. Please do not try to use any HTML in this box.
BB Mayhem Chapter 7: The Scramble!
Here are the rules: 1: Make 3 words using the letters from: (BBRAT MAYHEM: THE RECAP). 2: You may not copy words from previous players. 3: You may not use the existing words: (BBRAT MAYHEM: THE RECAP) as your answer.
- For every word that uses 3 - 4 letters, get 15 points - For every word that uses 5 - 6 letters, get 20 points - For every word that uses 7 - 8 letters, get 25 points - For every word that uses 9 or more letters get 50 points
Since this is the Recap, if you get all 3 words to be 10 letters or more, I will double your BB Mayhem Bonus Points. Possible 300 Points available here.
Please do not try to use any HTML in this box.
BB Mayhem Chapter 8: The Inerrogations!
Here are the rules:
For every question Julie Chen asks your Favorite Hamster during the Live Show in general or during any of the contests, you will receive 25 points.
BB Mayhem Chapter 9: Tic Tac Toe!
The answers you just gave will be applied to this grid. And just to be kind, if any of the questions on your questionnaire were adjusted because of a slop pass or multiple slop passes, I will honor them in this round. Meaning that if you did not answer the Pawn of Vengeance, but because of a Slop Pass that answer was corrected, you will also get credit below.
My army of puppets invaded the house and took over. Funny thing is with them doing the talking the IQ level soared. Tells ya something yes? Or is that yo. I want points for every time Enzo says YO! Either that or for him to be beach slapped every time yo.

11. "RE: BBRAT Questionnaire 10, and more."
yes i have no problem with that. did you intend not to play the BB Mayhem? If you meant to play but accidently forgot, i will allow you to make your choice at no cost.
Just reply here and I will take it from there wether it be yes or no.
Thanks for that, but I'm passing on the Mayhem stuff. I didn't participate in some of them ('cuz I don't understand some things) and I don't know if one has to do the things again (like I said, I'm not that bright), so instead of me admitting how stupid I can be, how about we just pretend I forgot?

Hey Kircon,
You decided to play the Scramble but forgot to put any words down. If you meant to and forgot, you still have time at no cost to you. Just reply to this post and I will take it from there.
I am still so confused by this game. Not you but the game itself. I have a hard time thinking a week ahead. I am usually; sit down at the computer an hour before the show starts, check my game, check this game, smack my head for losing points for not entering early, make quite a few guesses, and then hit the enter key and hope for the best.
