This entry will be due before 9pm boardtime, Wednesday, Apr. 2nd.

If you're already signed on, go ahead and skip to the 9th eviction entry 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, 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.

* I hear that krismiss2us is lieing about her middle-number. Discuss...*

OK, I did just recently change my hair color from blonde, but i just don't understand the above....middle number as in 2????

I really am blonde (sorta). I walked into a bar---literally, a monkey bar to be exact. My son, however, managed to duck.

Yeah, your middle number. 2.
I almost said "later number" or "near the rear number", but for some reason both of those sounded inappropriate.

Really, it's just a rumor.
However, now that I know you've lied about your haircolor...hmmm....

A special hut-camera has been installed into the bbrat house and it will project live feeds of this game to the poor suckers over in Survivor's LoserLodge.
In honor of this event (or moreso due to the need to cross-produce con-currently run games and to save me some time and possibly money) I'll be hosting a Loser-tinged bonus here in the BBrat.
Into the backyard, passed the old jackshack, to the left of the hammock is Hut-DR.

Wow what a guess, Yes I am.

I was tenth backup at the beginning of the season.

Let's see,

... we lost the first three camera people in succession, they just ran screaming from the lot after a few nights on the mid-night shift in James' room. The producers finally figured out that they had to hire the spawn of the devil to operate that camera, so Boogie is now a BB cameraman,

... another camera person poked an icepick into both of his ears after 8 hours of Sheila's whining.

... They tried to fill that position with a hearing impaired camera man, but he could read lips, and he poked an icepick into his ears anyway. (that position was abandoned, they didn't feel like having a suicide in the camera rooms would do anyone's disposition any good),

... two more cameramen actually tried to follow Natalie's logic, they were both committed to the long term mental asylum by the staff psychiatrist. Ironically, they were both led off muttering the same thing, over and over, "the number, I know it's the number..".

... another camera person just went over to the dark side after a week of having to follow Joshua. He was busted when he tried to mount a scoped rifle on his camera tripod and saying how Satan had to die. He also was committed for life after being declared incurably criminally insane,

...and finally, the one before me who loved Mattie so much that s/he took hir camera and was last spotted outside the sequester house. The producers have obtained a restriction order, and asked for a sanity check. We camera people have taken up a collection to get a scoped rifle for this person. And we mentioned to hir that it only seems fair that if s/he can't have Mattie, then no one should have him. So we feel that it just a matter of time before s/he uses it. We have a pool going on about when the happy even will occur.

So I'm at work, I have an Ipod blasting Metallica to keep me distracted from actually listening to these guys, and I have the women's shower camera in the bathroom, so I'm going to make it. I have my very own sink back here. Unless James and Josh get an idea to do something that I can't describe on a PG13 board.

The producers have finally figured out that the ideal camera man is a zoned out heroin addict. So these days all is peaceful. All is serene. All is the IV drip....

Hut Cam:

What I think about BB: (ahem)

I think that things in the House (ouch, watch it, that thing is sharp) are run ethically, that Julie Chen is not a robot android creature and that ENDEMOL are the finest producers in the country. (Can I go now?, Oh yeah I forgot) And that the producers do not, in any way, try to influence, fix, or otherwise affect the outcome of the show. I believe that the house guests are moral people with high standards, and lightning is not going to strike me dead for saying thi....

Grabs knife, twists it away from producer's hired thug, kicks thug in face and runs off

I'm screaming...

It's fixed, the fix is in, the producers invented all of the turmoil, wrote the script, because the ratings were going down.

It's a scam!!!

shots ring out, a voice is heard, "go for the knees men, the Boss wants something left to torture"

I fear the worst for the Ole Gupmeister...

*adjusts halo*

*waves to all the losers*

You know, I hate to spread unsubstantiated rumors, but yensid told me that LostAddict heard from bdemoney that VisionQuest said mia rules overheard krismiss2us and Das talking in the hot tub, where she admitted to him that her true name is krismiss4us.

With my own ears I heard Road Kill and Vince talking about forming a bromance. And Vince even said he is flirting with Wallflower and making her think he'll carry her to the end.

No way is kingfish actually one of the camera men, even though he would have us all think otherwise. Are you kidding? With all the time he spends showing off his, um, "fin" in front of the camera, he doesn't have time to go behind the walls.
