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, 8:59, boardtime.
Aside from 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. The Cast Here they are, if you don't already know or aren't able to commit their names to memory...

2. Okay , time to hit the books and get to the 3rd eviction entry.

Week 1 results

Normally this is where I would put in the results of the first weeks entry. However, due to the odd nature of the first week I'm withholding results until the picture becomes a little clearer and I can make some judgements about the timeline concerning bonuses. At the moment I'm leaning towards throwing all the bonuses out, so cross your fingers my mind changes. Plus, the results without them are sooo meager it's almost laughable to consider posting them just yet. Bad first week. That's all I'm gonna say. When the dust settles a little I'll start revealing the results.

3rd eviction entry

First off, I changed the "name" of the entries to hopefully give a better sense to how the bbrat's entries line up with the evictions.
Week 1 and PopQuiz 1 could obviously be seen as confusing and I wanna be clearer.
I know it's always confusing in the beginning but I swear, Lasann, It'll get easier. And also know that I'm doing my darndest to make sense of this mess as well. My schedule and twists rely on their schedule and twists. I'm not doing it to be ruthless, I'm doing it because BB started it. (Gah. Now I sound like a hamster. Bad BigBrother, bad.)

Power Positions:
A. HOH: (who is going to win the 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)
C. Will America's choice rear it's ugly head this week? Or am I, as usual, a week off? (2 each)

Block Activity:
A. Name 2 HGs who will be nominated. (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:
After Dark Shout Outs:
Due to the availability of SHOTOO in my house (and the lack of feeds in same said house) I have decided to make a bonus where I take a weeklong tally of all the times BigBrother says the HGs names during Shotoo's 3 hour nightly broadcasts of the feeds. That's 21 hours of chances for BB to ask someone to put on their microphone.
I will give HG's 5 points each time their name is said by BigBrother.
I'll give 20 points to any HG if a producer's voice is the one speaking the name. (Which is doubtful, but you never know.)
Your job will be to pick one HG who you think will be called to the diary room the most or the one who has to be reminded constantly to not obstruct their microphone. Your bonus points depend on it.

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