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

What's a PTTE you ask?
Well, PTTE is short for "Picks To The End"
It is a boot list/evection prediction game.

Okay... here's the goal:

To start this game you'll need to make a list that reflects your prediction about the ENTIRE eviction order for the season.
Starting with the next HG (#12) to be eliminated
and ending with the winner (#1).

You don’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.

The CBS site is where you can start your research

EvelD was the first person to leave the house.

Read what RTVW had to say about it here

Everyone placed ED in the 14th spot and received 0 points, except me. I placed ED as the winner, which gave me 13 points because I am playing the Medium Teal Game.

The second person evicted was:
Keith Henderson

Now on to the game:

Place – Name – Score on current list
Upward movement ^
In case of ties, I alphabetize.

1. michel – 0
1. mrc - 0
1. suzzee – 0
1. tribephyl – 0
1. zazzy – 0

6. Corvis – 3

7. kircon - 24

? PirateNameGenerator – How bout it tribe?

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, unless you are playing the MEDIUM TEAL game. Here is your chance to rack up all the points you can.
Just let me know your intentions to play the Medium Teal Game.

2) Points will be awarded to every contestant 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 13 points. (14 – 1 = 13) If Joe gets 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 (14 – 14 = 0)

3) You will be given (+4 points for regular game and -4 points for medium teal game, every time you change your PTTE list... but it's only +4 or -4 points, so change it often if you think it will help you out.
DO NOT EDIT AFTER THE DEADLINE OR I WILL GO WITH THE LAST LIST from the previous week.

3) If you do not enter before the first eviction, you will start with a score equivalent to 8 points per episode you missed. That means that it is 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.

4) A point total will be posted by me shortly after each episode. I will try to get these up as soon as I can. Thursdays will usually be the eviction day.

5) 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.

6) I provide several chances to earn free edits and tie-breaker points throughout the season. Keep an eye out for them.

The BB13 PTTE Bonus:
kircon is meeting some BB players

I’m leaving next week to meet some Reality TV Stars.
These are the scheduled Big Brother players:

Eric Stein - Big Brother 8- “America’s Player”
Angie Swindell - Big Brother 10
Jessie Godderz - Big Brother 10 & 11
Annie Whittington - Big Brother 12-”The Saboteur”
Lane Elenburg - Big Brother-12
Hayden Moss - Big Brother-12 (Winner)

I would like to ask some intelligent or unique questions. Can you help me out?
For any posted question, you will receive:

You will only receive 1 free edit. You may give me questions for all or just one.
If the BB player makes a statement about your question,(that’s unique, I’ve never heard that one before, good question, if I had a dollar for each time I’ve answered that, I’d be a millionaire, etc..) you will receive another free edit. As it stands now, you “could” add an additional 6 free edits.

This will be the last chance to win a free edit.

I will leave this open until the night before I leave.
Tuesday, July 26, 10:01 pm central time

* Good Luck and have fun!!

How fun for you, kircs!
Take tons of pics!

So my question is for the two players who were "forced" into working on behalf of the production and NOT for themselves.

The Sabateur: Annie
America's Player: Eric

Do you think that had you NOT been subject to Productorial influence that you would have faired better than you did as the Sabateur/America's Player.
IOW, on your own, would you have done better or worse than you actually did working for the show/audience?

Eric Stein: Still with Jessica? How does such a bad player wind up with such a prize?

Angie Swindel: Who are you again?

Jessie Godderz: How can you look dumder in person than on TV?

Annie Whittington: Do you think the idea of a saboteur came from the popularity of Russell Hantz on Survivor?

Lane Elenburg: Why not go with Britney?

Hayden Moss: You or Fabio? Who is the luckiest winner ever?

LAST EDITED ON 07-18-11 AT 07:29 PM (EST)

Eric Stein - Big Brother 8- “America’s Player”
Angie Swindell - Big Brother 10
Jessie Godderz - Big Brother 10 & 11
Annie Whittington - Big Brother 12-”The Saboteur”
Lane Elenburg - Big Brother-12
Hayden Moss - Big Brother-12 (Winner)

Annie and Angie: would you have rather played in this BB season and been a part of a duo? Do you think you would have stayed in the game longer or won if there had been duos to start your seasons?

All of them: If BB has a second All Stars, would you be on the show if asked?

All of them: if ED had stayed in the house would he have been a shoe-in to win the game this year?

All of them: if ED is on a second BB All Stars season, would be the likeliest to win the game?

All of them: why do people say BB is a really hard game to play? What preparation can be done before entering the game to make it easier to tolerate the conditions of BB (no outside influence, being confined with a dozen other people, etc.).

All of them: should BB have a season of a cast of just hard core fans like this season's Adam and Shelly? Would that make it a better season or would it be boring?

Hayden: which is more important? A good social game or being good in competitions?

Jessie: how much weight have you lost the times you were in the BB house?

Lane and Hayden: which cast members do you stay in contact with?

All of them: What role did your personal faith and/or principles play in how you chose to play the Big Brother game? Did you sacrifice any of your principles to further your aims in the game?

What other reality shows have you applied to be on? Was this before or after your BB appearance?

Was your intent to seriously play BB or was it to launch/further a career. Your idea or your agents?

With or without naming names, was anyone able to devise a way to sneak food while on slop?

OH NO!
