LAST EDITED ON 06-30-07 AT 10:50 AM (EST)Ladies and Gentleman, Houseguest, Reality Show Lovers, Voyeurs, Game Players and Hamster Lovers, it's officially time for the Big Brother PTTE!!
What's a PTTE you ask? Well, PTTE is short for "Picks To The End"
Okay... here's the goal:
To start the contest you'll need to make a list that reflects your prediction about the ENTIRE eviction order for the whole season. Starting with the first HG (#14) to be eliminated and ending with the winner (#1).This doesn't need to have any analysis, although you're welcome to throw anything in that you want... this is a game and is intended to be fun. With any spoiler information available to you, coupled with your own intuition, see how well you can do. There will be a bonus for keeping your original list.
In honor of one of the best game host this board has seen, a new division of the PTTE will be instituted.
BIG BROTHER MEDIUM TEAL PTTE
This game follows the rules below except the highest score wins. Isn’t that right tribey? As tribe told me, “Some folks, like to be big huge losers...” Here is your chance to rack up all the points you can.
Just let me know your intentions to play the Medium Teal Game.This seasons Hamsters are...
Here is where you can start your research
Scoring:
1) You do NOT want points... they're bad... it's like golf. Every point counts against you in the standings, so try to avoid them, unless you are playing the MEDIUM TEAL game.
2) Points will be awarded to every contestant in the game after each eviction show. They will be awarded as the difference between where you thought this week's bootee would finish and where the bootee actually finished.
For example: You thought that Joe was going to be the Big Brother winner. If he is the first eviction, you would receive 13 points. (14 – 1 = 13) If Joe gets evicted in 9th place, you would receive 8 points. (9 – 1 = 8) If you thought Joe was going to be evicted first, and he was, you would receive 0 points for the week (14 – 14 = 0)
3) You will be given (+4 points for regular game and -4 points for medium teal game, every time you change your PTTE list... but it's only +4 or -4 points, so change it often if you think it will help you out.
You may change the list as many times as you want, up to the deadline. The last list at the time of deadline will be used.DO NOT EDIT AFTER THE DEADLINE OR I WILL GO WITH THE LAST LIST from the previous week.
You may change your first lists as many times as you want, up to 7:59 pm
EDT on Thurs. 07/05/07.
You will not be penalized for any changes made before the first episode airs.3) If you do not enter before the first episode, you will start with a score equivalent to 8 points per episode you missed. That means that it's possible to join the game after several episodes and enter in first place, but statistically speaking, you'll have a better chance if you enter earlier.
4) A point total will be posted by me shortly after each episode. I will try to get these up as soon as I can.
5) After the first show has aired please do not edit your post to make changes. Just start a new post if you want to change your PTTE. It's very important not to change your original picks-if I make a mistake or my computer crashes, it's the only proof I have of your original picks.
Now for the houseguest names:

PRE-SEASON BONUS: I will offer a "Stick With Your List" Bonus this season.
Keep your list for:
1 – 3 weeks = -1 point or +1 point for teal
4 – 6 weeks = -1 points or +1 points for teal
7 – 9 weeks = -2 points or +2 points for teal
10-Final week = -2 points or +2 points for tealIf you keep your original list all the way through you would have 6 points subtracted, or added for the teal game.
AMERICA’S IN THE HOUSE BONUS: One houseguest has been chosen to be America’s Player. This twist has yet to be fully revealed. This “Player" can choose to do things on behalf of our whims and desires. They get rewarded with extra sums of money for doing special tasks voted on by us, the viewing public. Cool!
The Bonus: Choose the HG who will be "America's Player".
Get it correct and win a free list change to use further on down the line.
America’s in the House Bonus must be played before the show starts, July 5th, Thursday, 7:59pm EDT.THANK YOU TRIBE
Thanks for all your help, Sir Tribe. You have taught me a lot. I’m a little worried to step into your shoes. They are very large. The Logo is wonderful. The Sigs are great. You are amazing. Thanks for uploading the pictures, also. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you. I hope to make you proud. k* Good Luck and have fun!!
* You will not be penalized for any changes made before the first show airs. The four point penalties will come into play after the first Thursday/Live eviction episode has started. Basically you have until Thursday, 7:59pm EDT, July 5th to make your first picks.

Hey Corvis,
Glad to have you aboard. You are far from dense.
I'm still trying to get the timing right. This game is a little different than the other PTTE's I've hosted. Thanks for letting me make the rules a little clearer.There is no penality for entry or changing your list before the first evection.
Anyone can still join the game without penality, up to a minute before the show that has the evection.
Changes can be made to your list or bonus, up to a minute before the show that has the evection.

ohmyheck,
You are now playing the Medium Teal Game.The object of this game is to get as many points as possible. If you usually rank at the bottom of the BB PTTE Game, think about trying to play the Teal Game.

You can reply here.
You can change your list without any penalities, up to a minute before showtime.
Thanks for being patient while I learn the BB PTTE ropes!
I believe Eric will pour his heart out to Jen.

The Bonus: What does Americe want Eric to do?
Pour his heart out to Kail.
Kircon - just an FYI, those of us who read the spoilers and keep up with the live feeds, can totally cheat with regard to the America's Choice bonus question.I am not changing my guess (which was incorrect) because I would feel bad about doing so, but I already know not only what America wants Eric to do, but that he has already done it.

Thanks FishWoman!I totally forgot about the live feeds. Tribe told me it would be a battle between me and the producers of the show. They won this time.
If you would like to PM me with your answer I would accept that. Consider it a free gift.
Anyone who wants to PM the America's Bonus to me can do so until 1 minute before the show.

I don't do spoilers or live feeds, but I'll take a guess that Eric will pour his heart out to Amber.

I will offer another free list change once I figure out a fair way for everyone to have a chance.
PRE-SEASON BONUS: I will offer a "Stick With Your List" Bonus this season.
Keep your list for:
1 – 3 weeks = -1 point or +1 point for teal
4 – 6 weeks = -1 points or +1 points for teal
7 – 9 weeks = -2 points or +2 points for teal
10-Final week = -2 points or +2 points for tealWhen I say week, I assume an eviction will take place. So you would get -1 point for each eviction. I assume this takes place each Thursday's show. Please let me know if this is not correct. I'm use to one show, one boot.
Your first list is the one you have now.
I will subtract (or add) 1 point from your score the week after you change your list.
You get -1 point for changing your list (after the first eviction) for the first, second or third week.
The eviction happens, this Thursday, you change your list on Fri, you get -1 point. You change your list after the third eviction, you get -1 point.
If you keep your original list all the way through you would have 6 points subtracted, or added for the teal game.
* You will not be penalized for any changes made before the first eviction airs.
*The four point penalties for changing your list will come into play after the first Live Eviction Episode has started. You have until Thursday, 7:59pm EDT, July 12th to make your first picks.

Thanks for the welcomeI've played Jim's TAR Casino, and TAR PTTE before, but this is my first BB game, also my first US BB, I watched the first three or four series in the UK, but don't really have the time to invest in the UK version this year, and as the Ozzie version is so far in thought I would give the US version a bash.
So far so interesting!
