Ladies and Gentleman, Houseguest, Reality Show Lovers, Voyeurs, Game Players and Hamster Lovers, it's officially time for the Big Brother PTTE!!

BIG BROTHER 12 PTTE

What's a PTTE you ask? Well, PTTE is short for "Picks To The End"

Okay... here's the goal:
To start the contest you'll need to make a list that reflects your prediction about the ENTIRE eviction order for the whole season. Starting with the first HG (#13) to be eliminated and ending with the winner (#1).

This doesn't need to have any analysis, although you're welcome to throw anything in that you want... this is a game and is intended to be fun. With any spoiler information available to you, coupled with your own intuition, see how well you can do. There will be a bonus for keeping your original list.

Here is where you can start your research

Scoring:

1) You do NOT want points... they're bad... it's like golf. Every point counts against you in the standings, so try to avoid them.

2) Points will be awarded to every contestant in the game after each eviction show. They will be awarded as the difference between where you thought this week's bootee would finish and where the bootee actually finished.

For example: You thought that Joe was going to be the Big Brother winner. If he is the first eviction, you would receive 12 points. (13 – 1 = 12) If Joe is evicted in 9th place, you would receive 8 points. (9 – 1 = 8) If you thought Joe was going to be evicted first, and he was, you would receive 0 points for the week (13 – 13 = 0)

3) You will be given +4 points every time you change your PTTE list... but it's only +4, so change it often if you think it will help you out.
You may change the list as many times as you want, up to the deadline. The last list at the time of deadline will be used.
DO NOT EDIT AFTER THE DEADLINE OR I WILL GO WITH THE LAST LIST from the previous week.
You may change your first lists as many times as you want, up to 7:59 pm / 6:59 pm central,
on Thurs. 07/08/10.

4) If you do not enter before the first episode, you will start with a score equivalent to 8 points per episode you missed. That means that it's possible to join the game after several episodes and enter in first place, but statistically speaking, you'll have a better chance if you enter earlier.

5) A point total will be posted by me shortly after each episode. I will try to get these up as soon as I can.

6) After the first show has aired please do not edit your post to make changes. Just start a new post if you want to change your PTTE. It's very important not to change your original picks-if I make a mistake or my computer crashes, it's the only proof I have of your original picks.

PRE-SEASON BONUS:

I will offer a "Stick With Your List" Bonus this season.
Keep your list for:
1 – 3 weeks = -1 point
4 – 6 weeks = -1 point
7 – 9 weeks = -2 points
10-Final week = -2 points
If you keep your original list all the way through, you will have 6 points subtracted from your score.

"Big Brother Saboteur" BONUS:

One houseguest has been chosen to be the Big Brother Saboteur. The twist: one houseguest whose mission will be to carry out home viewer suggestions to disrupt the strategy and game play of the other houseguests. This “Player" will take our suggestions to "sabotage their fellow players” and wreak havoc on the house.

The Bonus: Choose the HG who will be "The Saboteur".
Get it correct and win a free list change to use further on down the line.

"The Saboteur" Bonus must be played before the show starts, July 15th, Thursday, 7:59 pm EDT. While the saboteur's identity will remain a secret to the houseguests, home viewers will learn who it is during the first live eviction show on July 15.

*Post your list To starting with the first HG (#13) to be eliminated and ending with the winner (#1).

* Good Luck and have fun!!

*Be back here by Thursday, 7:59 pm EDT, July 5th to make your first picks.

*It has been a long time for an unspoiled season.

From Least likely to Most likely to leave:

13th Matt Hoffman
12th Kristen Bitting
11th Lane Elenburg
10th Ragan Fox
9th Andrew Gordon
8th Britney Haynes
7th Kathy Hillis
6th Hayden Moss
5th Enzo Palumbo
4th Rachel Reilly
3rd Monet Stunson
2nd Brendon Villegas
1st one to leave - Annie Whittington

Matt's my boy. He comes from my home state of Illinois. Saw his bio, found him to be much like myself with the web page design and such. GO MATT.

Bonus Round - My first impression on who is the Sabature: Hayden Moss

------------------------

P.S. Nice to see you again Con'lady'. Now that I understand the PTTE contest, cant wait to see what happens. Have you seen my post?

- ARW

I'm glad you understand the PTTE. It really is the easiest game to play. Although I had to host it to really understand. I am not good with numbers.

I entered your BBRAT game. Thanks for taking over. I also replied to your Survivor game. Finally! I think I have caught up with my life.

thanks kircon for the nice responce on the Home Survivor posting. I was just checking to see who i had chosen as my #1 choice to go home, and wow, Annie W. That was a total fluke guess, and I am hoping it pays off. Go group get annie out. lol

Can I change my mind as to who I think the Sabatour is, without penalty? I believe you posted that we could change our minds until the Live Eviction Show. If so, after watching her bio, and then watching her actions on the first 2 shows, I do believe with all my heart that Kathy is the sabatour. I think BB has a woman this time, not a guy, and what cop wouldnt be able to go through the muck and end up stuck? I dont buy it.

ARW

Let's see if we can do this again.

Britney
Annie
Andrew
Kathy
Kristen
Enzo
Hayden
Monet
Ragan
Matt
Lane
Rachel = winner

Saboteur = Matt

You left out Brendon. Where would you like to place him?

Sorry about that. Since Ragan seems to really like him let's put him under him. Between Ragan and Matt.

Britney
Annie
Andrew
Kathy
Kristen
Enzo
Hayden
Monet
Ragan
Brendon
Matt
Lane
Rachel = winner

Saboteur = Matt

It must be stated that even though I may not be able to keep up with the shenanigans, it won't stop me from trying.
Plus with only three players currently involved, the worst I could do is third place. Not such bad odds.

1. BRENDON *first eviction*
2. ANNIE
3. HAYDEN
4. BRITNEY
5. KATHY
6. MONET
7. RAGAN
8. ENZO
9. ANDREW
10. KRISTEN
11. RACHEL
12. MATT
13. LANE *winner*

And because it's tradition; my PNG list. No need to score it, but it's always turned out better than my own personal list.
1. Britney: Fubar Caroline Dawkins
2. Matt: Snafu Thomas Grimm
3. Rachel: No-Eyes Jessie
4. Annie: Slouchin' Jackie Teach
5. Enzo: Gurglin' Issac Slaughter
6. Kathy: Musket-Ball Flora
7. Brendon: Giant Randall Dagger
8. Lane: Hackin' Eugene Blythe
9. Monet: Captain Lindsey Nastyscab
10. Hayden: Pirate Sully the Staggering Drunk
11. Ragan: Captain Wallace Yelowbeard
12. Kristen: Pirate Jen the Black
13. Andrew: Captain Rupert Bloodbath

Who knew the Pirate Name Generator was more accurate than my own suspicions?

I love the pirate name generator. I have been known to use this source for making PTTE list.

I'm glad to see you Sir! I will score both list for fun.

Eh, why not? I've never done well with PTTE, but it looks like good odds this time. *waves to tribe*

Kathy ~ first to visit Julie's boudoir
Enzo
Britney
Monet
Ragan
Annie
Andrew
Kristen
Brendon
Matt
Lane
Rachel
Hayden ~ winner

Saboteur ~ Hayden

I'm not sure if I read you right or not, but if I don't lose anything by making this change, I think Rachel is the saboteur. If I do lose points or a bonus, I'll stick with Hayden.

13. Annie first out
12. Kathy
11. Andrew
10. Kristen
9. Brendon
8. Monet
7. Matt
6. Britney
5. Ragan
4. Hayden
3. Lane
2. Enzo
1. Rachel = winner

I think the Big Brother Saboteur is Britney.

LAST EDITED ON 07-15-10 AT 06:22 PM (EST)

I have no clue, but I see a weird team of Andrew, Ragan, and Annie making it to the end.

13. Monet
12. Hayden
11. Kathy
10. Kristy
9. Enzo
8. Britney
7. Brendon
6. Rachel
5. Lane
4. Matt
3. Andrew
2. Ragan
1. Annie

Bonus: Matt is the Saboteur.
