"BBRAT4: *POP QUIZ 1*"

LAST EDITED ON 02-13-08 AT 03:21 AM (EST)

Hurry hurry hurry!

New entries due tonight at 9pm!

If you're already signed on, go ahead and get to the POP Quiz below.
New to the game?....
The BBRAT is back!

What's the BBRAT, you ask?
Well...
It stands for Big Brother Reality Aptitude Test.
The BBRAT, a weekly test, will tend to highlight the "Beforehand Assumed Decisions" we all are likely of making when the upcoming SuperSecret BigBrother season gets underway.
Anyone choosing to take part in a fun diversion while we watch this seasons hushed hamsters, from the comfort of our ezchairs and floorpillows, is strongly encouraged to join. At Any Time.
You will be rewarded for your correct predictions with points. I will also be offering the occasional bonus, again for points.
The player with the most points at the end of the test...wins!
Sound interesting?

Well, then grab your trusty keyboards and come along with me...



*The Premise*

Each week's test will examine 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, Renominations, Competitions, America's Choice, Coup detat, Eviction and any other thing the producers want to throw at us. Each correct guess will result in points being added to your individual tally.
The player with the most points 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 that Eviction show but for the events covering the following week, beginning with the new HOH (the Wednesday you make your picks). This way, the LiveFeed 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. But from then on...start looking into your chrystalballs.) I know this may sound confusing, but I promise it does only at first. (And then maybe a minor slippage of memory about half-way through. ) Quite quickly, you'll be realizing it's all a carpshoot anyways.

*The Outline*
Every week I will post questions covering 4 sections.
There will be a variable amount of questions, in each section, from week to week.
1. Power Positions
These questions will test your ability to predict the HOHs, POV winners and America's choices.
2. Competition Arena
These questions will test your ability to predict the various outcomes of the Competitions.
3. Block Activity
These questions will test your ability to predict the nominees, the evictees and the non-evictees.
4. BBBonus
These questions will test your ability to predict various other outcomes of the show. Or some other form of game/challenge I may have decided to create. Note also that the outcomes may have direct effects on other participating bbrats.

*The Rules*
Deadline for all entries will be each and every Wednesday, 7:59, boardtime.
Aside from the Premiere episode, which will be due on Tuesday the 12th, 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.
These switches 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.
The BBRAT will be open to new players at any time.
Those who make an entry after the weekly deadline will not be considered.
Those who miss an entry will have to go without gaining any points for the week.
If a vacation or other time-constraint happens, you are allowed to have a proxy-player make your entry for you.
Any player who misses 3 entries in a row will be forced to wear a bunny suit as they are escorted out the front door.

*The Entry*
The game will start with the prediction of HOH and end with the prediction of the evictee. From Wed. to Wed. Therefore, all of your test 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 tues, wed. or sun.), it will not count.
I will try to post the new entry thread every Thurs. with an as-up-to-date-as-I-can-get results section in it.
*ALSO, any answer with "None", "No One", "all the rest", "everybody else" or some other non specific answer, will not be counted.
Where it asks to name one HG, simply name one HG.

*Points*
If you answer a question correctly you will receive the points alloted in the parentheses after 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.

*Twists*
1. BBRAT HOH:
Every week, the bbrat with the highest weekly points will win the BBRAT HOH. Other than a nice yet fleeting title, this player(s) will receive an additional 5 point bonus.
2. SLOP PENALTY:
Every week, all bbrats with less than half of the HOH's weekly score, will be put on Slop. This comes in the form of a -3 point penalty. Neither of which taste good.
3. SECRETS: Even I have some. When, Where and How come to be determined later. So beware, be watchful, be ready.

*Important Notes*
1. Okay Now that you now the rules and everything, I hope you still have enough time to do the first *Pop Quiz*, below...


*POP QUIZ*

Okay...at the rate things are going this season will be done in approximately 1 month.
I'm hoping they move to a non-coupled format soon. But for now...please answer the PowerPositions with 1 matched pair. For the rest keep them individual and I will make allowances for partners and such should they arise.
This entry will be due by Wednesday, Feb 13th. 9pm Boardtime.

Power Positions:
A. HOH: (who is going to win/has won the second HOH challenge?) Name 1 couple. (2)
B. POV: (who is going to win the POV challenge?) Name 1 couple. (6)
C. Will the POV be used?: Yes or No. (4)

Competiton Arena:
A. Name 2 HGs who will end up on slop this week. (2 each)
B. Which HG will be the host of the POVChallenge? Name 1 HG. (8)

Block Activity:
A. Name 2 HGs who will be nominated. Go ahead, name 2 HGs. There are no negative points to attain if one or both of them are wrong. (8 points each)
B. Name 1 HG who gets evicted. (10)
C. Name 1 HG who survives the eviction. The named HG must have been nominated but did not go home/sequester this week. (10)

BBBonus:
Sorry. Not this week. Hard enough doing the Pop Quiz thingy.


BB List of soulmates: Adam/Sheila ~ Allison/Ryan ~ Alex/Amanda ~ Chelsia/James ~ Jacob/Sharon ~ Jen/Parker ~ Joshua/Neil ~ Matt/Natalie


* A little bit of a better warning message would be nice Alison. I already have an evil nemesis thing going with Mike Darnell and Mark Burnett. Don't even think of crossing me. Grrrrr....
Darlin'.</sweetvoice>
* Wow! It's nice to see all of you. Kinda unexpected. Thanks! Have a good season!
* Sorry, Lasann and DasMole. No extra points for correctly picking the exact HG to flash their bits.
* Yes. There will probably be a general feel for how this next week will start. It's almost like that first episode was some sort of painful glitch and things are beginning to fall into place. So for now a couple of freebies. On the house.

Since tribe is on the left coast, and his job has him sleeping late most mornings, I'll take the liberty of answering for him. (Can I get extra credit, tribe? ) The Pop Quiz is in addition to the first entry.

Plus he didn't think there was gonna be an eviction until next Wednesday..........

"RE: AARGH"
Posted by cahaya on 02-13-08 at 03:00 PM
... and the whole paired couple thing applying to votes and evictions (at least for a while).

Posted by tribephyl on 02-13-08 at 06:16 PM
Thanks everbody for helping with the answers.
Yes, Lasann, this is the second entry and is in addition to the first entry.
This PopQuiz will cover all events from the 2nd PowerCouple to the second eviction. (The first entry covered the first HOH to the first eviction.)

Yes, some things will be known ahead of time, for this Pop Quiz.

*pokes head in and looks around*

Hmm, this looks interesting. I saw Tribe's thread and had to check it out. I'll try my paw at this game. I don't really know who hardly any of these HGs are yet, but here goes nothing.

Power Positions:
A. HOH: Chelsia/James
B. POV: Joshua/Neil
C. Will the POV be used?: No

Competiton Arena:
A. Jacob/Sharon
B. Alex

Block Activity:
A. Adam/Sheila
B. Adam

If Tribe's running it, it's bound to be fun.
