"BBRAT8: August 9th Entry"
Posted by tribephyl on 08-08-12 at 02:56 AM
Okay, the extremely odd eviction schedule (and the ensuing confusion because of it) have led me change the title to the Deadline Date.
Hopefully this will alleviate problems. (Although, this is how it started and I switched it to eviction # for clarity. So I guess we'll see which works/worked better.

The house is officially closed to new players...

But if you want to review...

BBRAT Rules:
1. Deadlines will happen any time there is an eviction. (Each entry Starts with new HOH and Ends with Live Eviction.)
Thusly, each "weeks" entry thread will be titled with the proposed Eviction number. 1st Eviction, 2nd Eviction, 3rd Eviction, 4th, 5th, 6th, etc.
I will include a current due date in red, above the entry portion of the thread.
In the entry portion you will find a series of questions split up into 3 sections.

Power Positions: Questions regarding the HGs who win competitions, luxuries, 1sts and special rights.
Key Players: Questions regarding the HGs who have some connection to the Keys, whether literal or figurative.
BBRAT Bonus: A semi-regular chance to acquire yet even more points.

Occasionally, a twist in the show will require the use of a Pop Quiz. Deadlines for these will be adjusted to reflect the expedited eviction. Be aware.

2. Each "week", beginning after week 2, I will post a results scoreboard.
In it I will be taking your weekly scores and figuring out who made the most points for the week.
This player will become the HOH and will have a 5 point boost added to their scores. They will also have use of the BBRATHOH room.
All of the players with less than half of the HOHs weekly score, before the bonus points, will be hit with a penalty of -3 points. They will also be penalized by having to sleep in the "Booby Hatch" and subsist on the SpecialDiet.
Any player who hasn't won HOH or SpecialDiet, will become Part Of The Crowd. Nothing at all happens to those bbrats.

3. All answers that contain previously evicted HGs or outright non-contestants, will receive 0 points. Same goes for any questions left unanswered.
A week of unanswered questions is forgivable, two weeks is allowed as well, but miss a third week's entry in a row and it's buh-bye bbratie.
I don't like to be the judgement caller on a weekly basis so if it becomes apparent a problem will arise, I'll simply remove the question. Same goes for any questions that can't be answered because they were not shown on the screen during one of the three weekly shows.

4. Now, because of the 3 weekly shows and the live feeds, it's must be noted that all questions pertain only to the upcoming weeks events. NOT the current week. This can be confusing at first but I promise in no time you'll be gettin' it. (Although about half-way a couple of us will forget again.)
This also means that results, as noted above, will take a while to tally. Different questions get answered at different times in a week and that causes a small delay in full results. In that way, it's kinda fun to speculate how your week will turn out with the HOH, only to watch it fall to pieces by the POV and vise versa. In just as much as BB says to expect the unexpected, the BBRAT house operates on a similar credo. It ain't over til the horny opera diva trills and I ain't hired no such phat dame, yet. Or something like that.

5. Where it asks to name 1 HG, please only name 1 Houseguest. Any answer with "None", "No One", "all the rest", "everybody else", a list of winners, etc. will not be counted. Regardless of twists, I will only be judging the answer upon the 1 name you give (or first).
Multiple answers may be right but you will NOT receive extra points for naming all of the possibilities.
ALSO... If a question is invalid as written, it will not count. Regardless of whether you have deduced the real and correct answer. Thou are not to talk about production.

6. It is summertime. We ALL have lives outside the BBRAT house. So if you need to "disappear", say for a family reunion or something, you have 3 options.
a. Forego your entry all together, which will result in penalties and possibly disqualification.
b. Have a proxy bbrat make your entries for you.
c. Contact me via private mail to see if some sort of advanced "While I'm away" entry can be made.

7. This is now you're house. Have fricken' fun, don't take things too seriously and feel free to mingle with other bbrats.

8. This one is reserved for anything I've overlooked at the moment and will remain so until that something is thought up or revealed through experience.


5th Eviction Results

Currently inside the BBRAT House...

With regular entry, krismiss does the best, but taking the DUCKpool Bonus into consideration gives this week a trouncing by RebelCrown.
She amasses an astounding 75 points in the team game and affords herself her 2nd term in the HOH. (Plus 5 points)
This means that anyone with 37 or less becomes a Have-Not.
Sorry, suzzee, you must nosh on Crumpets & Crickets and be penalized by -3 points.

RebelCrown overtakes the lead from DearAbby. And with 2 non-entries, Wallflower has placed herself extremely close to the fall-off point.

BBRAT Bonus:
This is another bonus where you will have to send your answers to me via Private Mailbox.
It is called... The Path Less Travelled.
Seems everyone on the show is making the same mistakes as previous seasons have made, including the returnees.
So why not forge a new trail?
I leave that for you bbrats to accomplish.
Following along the path we will come upon 4 different points where decisions will have to be made as to which way your game goes.
Each time a decision gets made, the bbrats who had the majority answer will be sidelined and the bbrats who choose the Path less traveled will move on.
Every time accruing 15 points for the Path less traveled.
Can you make it to the end? You can if you do what no one else does.

1. Going forward along the path, suddenly a large line of ants is seen crossing the path.
Do you...
a. Step over the line of ants and continue forward.
b. Follow the line of ants to their source.
c. Follow the line of ants to their destination.

2. You come to a clearing and out of nowhere everyone starts throwing things at you.
Do you...
a. Flee back to the path.
b. Cover your face and try to make it to the other side.
c. Start picking up the things and throwing them back at the others.

3. Covered in detritus, ant stink and sweat, you see off in the distance a refreshing looking waterfall.
Do you...
a. Skip it, Only 1 more decision to go and you shouldn't get distracted.
b. Decide a shower sounds great and head towards the waterfall.
c. Realize that in this state, most everyone would want to take a shower, so you head off in the other direction.

4. Okay, now you're lost, you're sure of it. You hear a noise and decide to go towards it.
Do you...
a. hear the sound of the Host claiming they've found a winner, you head dejectedly towards the finish line.
b. hear the sound of an IceCream Truck's jingle and decide to buy yourself an otter pop.
c. hear the sound of the BigBrother theme and quit the path walking to watch the show instead.

Good Luck and don't make the same mistakes as all the others.


tribe's DR:
* Allright, universe. It seems you're a litle busy right now with Mars landers and Sihk shooters.
* Umm... is anyone enjoying this season?

I'd like to thank my partner, VisionQuest, for her/his help in the scoring and would like to extend an invitation to share the HOH this week. Maybe share a bottle of wine and trash Danielle and Britney, hmmm?

As for enjoying the season, well, I was, but the constant barrage of bashing Janelle I've read from Britney and Danielle has worn me down. (Yes, I admit I'm an FOJ-Fan of Janelle, *waves to AyaK*). Right now, the newbies haven't stood out besides Wil, and I detest Boogie. I have a feeling, though, that after this Thursday, things might get a little heated so, there's that to look forward to.


Power positions-
1. Ian
2. Britney
3. Shane
4. yes
5. 6-2
6. No


Key players-
1. Ashley

Ohhhh - wine. I believe I will have just a sip or glass or two, maybe one more. I am getting sippy. Oh - hi I'm Danielle, I lovveeeee Shane and he loves me. We are going to be just like Brenchel. Wahhhhh - people are being so mean to me. Janelle is making me feel bad. I want Frank out, no I want whoever Shane wants out. Whatever you want me to do. I am going to sit and cry some more. {VQ drains fourth glass of wine} Oh - hi I'm Britney. I'm kind of pretty, but I do have this weird eye thing. It's just a wee bit wonky. (okay that was just mean she can't help it, but since everyone else in this house is acting like they are 17, then I will too)

Thank you Suzzee for making our picks. I need to post some pictures for you.

I have not been able to catch every show. That says something to me about how much I care. I don't like the Reset twist. It messes with my PTTE game. I do like some of the characters however.

I am still confused on what answers I am picking. Tonights - next Thur or next Thur to the next week. I seem to be doing ok in points.

Power positions-
1. Ian
2. Jenn
3. Shane

6. No
