Hello and Welcome to the BigBrother Reality Aptitude Test ... 2!
and to some ... not-so-final ... tallies

I don't want to ruffle any feathers or get some folks unnecessarily worked-up but, I have some preliminary scores to share.
So far
ARnutz
Road Kill
Kyra
and LibraRising
are leading in the weekly tally.
AND Sadly,
mckelviej
alwaysintruble
Yensid
and Bebo
are trailing.
But the first weeks scores aren't even fully counted out yet.
There are still 25 more possible points still to give out.

Since I can't fully give you all the scores for this week, it comes with huge regret that I have to give you the week 2 questions already.
Alas, that is the nature of the game.

-----------------
*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. From HOH to POV to Eviction. 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.

*The Outline*
Every week I will post questions covering 4 sections.

1. The Power Players
These questions will test your ability to predict the coming weeks HOH, POV and America's choice.
2. The Challenge Arena
These questions will test your ability to predict the coming weeks Food and Luxury Challenges.
3. The Evictees
These questions will test your ability to predict the nominees, the evictee and the non-evictee.
4. Bonus Questions
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.

There will be a varying amount of questions from week to week.

*The Rules*
Deadline for all entries will be each and every Thursday, at beginning of showtime EDT. (There may be a "POP QUIZ" thrown in as well. 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 deadline will not be considered.
Those who miss an entry will have to go without gaining any points for the week.
Any player who misses 3 entries in a row will be thrown into the fishtank.

*The Entry*
The game will start with the prediction of HOH and end with the prediction of the evictee. From Thurs. to Thurs. All predictions will be made regarding the next weeks episodes.
I will try to post the new entry thread every Fri. Each questions outcome will be determined by the show itself. For instance, If a challenge is held but not aired, in the show (either tues, thurs. or sat.), it will not count.

HOH Bonus:
The HOH bonus goes to the person/s who acheived the highest weekly score. This HOHwinner will have 5 bonus points added to their tally.

PB&J penalty:
The PB&J penalty is given to (read: taken from) all folks with fewer than half of the HOH winner's weekly point total. This penalty will be -3 points. This penalty will be determined before the HOH bonus is added.

Points:
If a question is correct 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 an already evicted HG, it will be worth 0 points.
*ALSO, any answer with "None", "No One", "all the rest" or "everybody" will not be counted.
Where it asks to name one HG, simply name one HG only.
The final tally will be posted when all challenges and questions have been resolved. A.K.A. a week later.
-----------------

I don't want to scare any "neobies" from joining so I have to say ... Anyone is invited to join in on the festivities.
At any time.
Since, in a way, we are all still at/on the same playing level, just answer these questions from these 4 groups.
(If you are new, the bonus's will be adjusted as/with your involvement/introduction to the BBRAT. Meaning, upon entrance, you will be added to a pre-selected team.)

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

Onto the Week 2 Test...

I've raised some potential scores...
Also. the deadline is Thursday at 8pm boardtime, July 14th, 2005.
You have a little less than a week to decide. Make some good decisions.

The Power Players
A. HOH (who is going to win the HOH challenge?) Name only one HG. (6)
B. POV (who is going to win the POV challenge?) Name only one HG. (4)
C. Will the POV be used? Yes or No? (4)

The Challenge Arena
A. Name 1 HG who wins in the Food Challenge? (3)
B. Name 1 HG that does not win in the Food Challenge? (3)
C. Will the HG's "play a challenge" for a luxury item? (3)

The Evictees
A. Who will be Nominated? Everyone is allowed TWO GUESSES. You may choose to use only one depending on your strategy or comfort level. (3 for each)
B. Who will be evicted? Name only one HG (6)
C. Who will survive the eviction? Name only one HG (name the nominated, yet non-evicted HG.) (6)

Bonus Questions(10 points, each winning team member)
17 people have signed on to become the biggest bbrat. 17 people (plus me) are going to be split into 3 teams, of 6 "bbrats" each.
Team Blue
mckelviej / LibraRising / Bebo / FlamingCactus / WaterDrop / ARnutz
Team Red
alwaysintruble / Kyra / RebelCrown / DearAbby / CaptainSavem / Lasann
Team Green
yensid / RoadKill / bdemoney / pmspml / Charonna / seahorse

The 3 teams will be playing against each other for the Bonus points this week.
Whichever team has the most correct answers, per team, will get the 10 bonus points.
Since there are 3 teams, the 2nd place team will get 0 points, AND the 3rd (or final place) team will actually get -3 points taken from their weekly score. For some this will be like getting Two weeks of PB&J'S! So watch out!!
Onto the team questions: Fill in the blank. (With a HG's name. Only one name per question, please.)
1. Blank will be sitting immediately to the left hand side of the HOH during the nomination ceremony.
2. Blank will be the 2nd HG to quit/be removed from the POV challenge.
3. The HOH will choose blank to play in the POV challenge.
