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.

As the first HOH you will receive an additional 5 points.
Now... anyone with less than 37points for the week was put on slop.
Sorry, bdemoney, cahaya, CattyChat, Lasann, Road Kill and Wallflower. You 6 have been penalized 3 points and can enjoy a week on the bbrats patented hypo-allergenic slop.

First off a couple of notes about the new entry.
1) I've made the executive decision to change the PowerPositions back to ONE Houseguest per answer. Call me crazy but I'm tired of typing all of the extra names.
2) Points have changed for some of the questions as well.

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

Competiton Arena:
A. Slop: Ryan and Allison
B. POV Host: Josh

Block Activity:
A. Nominees: Matt and Natalie
B. Evictee: Matt
C. Survivor: Sheila

BBratBonus:
Plug the simcard into the Chen-Bot:
Circuitry and wires, that we know, but what simcard goes into which port?
That's for you to figure out.
Each bbrat will be given 3 simcards.
~ ~
Plug these simcards into 3 different ports located in the top of the ChenBot's head. I'll guess:

Simcard #1 goes in port A
Simcard #2 goes in port E
and Simcard #3 goes in port J

(I'm assuming the letters listed behind her are the different choices for the ports on the top of her head?)

By the way, I'd love to have health insurance, so I agree it's worth a lot!
