Hello and welcome back to BBRAT!
Vol. 1.5This game is all about points. Whether you want them or not is up to you, because eventually only two people (the highest and the lowest scorers) will be facing each other in a jury vote. Who will become the ultimate BBrat?
It is up to you!
Firstly, let's get to the week 3...
Answers
I hate to sound like I have nothing but bad news but...
No one guessed that Drew would win HOH. Or that the 4Horsemen would still remain in power for that matter. It definitely effected the weekly point totals.
Meanwhile, in the real BBhouse...
Nikomas stepped out as this weeks MVP, by winning the POV and actually using it on herself. Way to go grrrl!
Drew made some tough decisions and took some very diplomatic stances. Only to raise the ire of the 4Horsemen, with his first nominations. Then the Others, with his replacement nomination. Hard week to be HOH. Yes?
All in all it worked out for the viewing audience. With Holly saying her goodbyes.
As to the food challenge...um...let's just say that even after considering Scott's less than stellar brain capacity, with his "Steak and Cheesse" answers, every one of the HG's did indeed win in the food challenge. Therefore, I have decided to not fault (or benefit) anyone with a -2 points for "Non-Food Winner". The score for this question will be 0, for everyone.

2. Rebel Crown won. (+10)
Secret Bonus.
I had hidden a message in the week 3 entry thread. Which alluded to my propensity for fabrication. Only mini and yensid picked up on it. (+6) for each of them. Good eyes, kids.
Rebel, yensid and mini all enter this round with an advantage.
However the entries of all the brrats this round were wildly off.
So who knows...
--------------------------
and now to The Scoreboard:
**Official Week 3 results.**
This week, none of you, NOT ONE, broke the positive points barrier. No one got the evictee right, no one got HOH and no one guessed the POV winner.
It may seem harsh but as a host I must admit this makes me sickly happy. I'm so very excited.
It really just goes to show that things can change very quickly in this game. Not always for the better.
This week we have a tie for HOH Bonus. with both yensid and Rebel getting the "highest" scores.
You both now have the option of +5 points or 2 extra picks.
Whichever bonus you don't keep, please bestow to another bbrat.
PM me, with your choices.
Weekly HOH winner:
yensid = -7
RebelCrown = -7 (sorry honey, your 2 extra picks netted 0 this week)
The Crowd:
minitroll = -13
All by herself . Weird, a crowd of ONE. Unless, of course, mini is... dare i say it? A TWIN!!!
Since half of -7 is ... umm ... -14.
Everyone who received less than that, will be hit with the PB&J Penalty of an extra -3. OOoofphta!
PB&J Crew:
Nikamo = -15 (-3) = -18
buckeyegirl = -17 (-3) = -20
VikingCrown = -19 (-3) = -22
Captain Savem = -21 (-3) = -24
Steen = -21 (-3) = -24
bdemoney = -21 (-3) = -24
EnglProf = -27 (-3) = -30
In limbo:
Jayzzzy = NO ENTRY!
volsfan = NO ENTRY!
**The Official Game Totals**:
Everyone takes a hit in their total scores as well.
'cept fer Steen, who is enjoying a very easy coast to lowest score-dom.
On the plus side, we see a group of 4 that seem to congregate near the top.
The power might be in these 4 Horse"wo"men. Rebel, mini, yensid and bdemoney.
The question is... Will anyone attempt a take-over and upset their power?
Also, how interesting the outcome an F3 raises. Things that make me go hmmmm...
Highest score(s)
RebelCrown = (+52)-7 = +45
minitroll = (+58)-13 = +45
yensid = (+43)-7 = +36
bdemoney = (+57)-24 = +33
VikingCrown = (+42)-22 = +20
EnglProf = (+47)-30 = +17
Captain Savem = (+32)-24 = +10
Jayzzzy (+5) 2 weeks missing
volsfan (+1) 1 week missing
Nikamo = (+15)-18 = -3

-----------------------------------------------------------
Premise:
New Entrants are encouraged to join. At any time.
This game will be run on a point basis. Points are something you will want (or not want).
There will be picks to make and picks to give away, points to gain, points to lose and points to give away.
There will be only one winner to this game.
The one with the most points and the one with the least points, will face off in a jury vote.
Who will be the biggest BBRAT?!
You will decide!*RULES*
Deadline for entries will be each Thursday, at beginning of showtime, 8pm EDT (5pm PDT).
Those who enter after the deadline will not be considered. You are allowed to edit your post at anytime up to the Thursday deadline.
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 Friday. The points will be given out when all challenges and questions have been resolved, a week later.
HOH Bonus:
The HOH bonus goes to the person who has gotten the highest score. This winner will have to choose between receiving 5 bonus points or 2 extra picks. Whichever of the 2 the HOH Bonus winner decides to keep, they must bestow the other bonus on some other player. Only that person can decide how to use their picks.
The picks should be added to any question with an asterix after the letter.
Strategically you can add them to a "food winner" or a "nominee" or "non-evictee" slot, in order to reap the best results. You may also decide to place them in a high point question to hedge your bet, if you dren't sure of your answer. It's up to you.
PB&J penalty:
The penalty is given to/taken from all folks with fewer than half of the winners weekly point total. This penalty will be -3 points.
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 the equivalent points but in negative increments.
If a question is deemed unanswerable. I will most likely decide to make the question worth nil (0).
In questions that ask you to name a HG, please use names only. IOW: "Everyone", "None" or "No one" are not acceptable answers.
Quitters: quitters are tolerated, to a certain degree.
After 4 missed entrys, I will remove you from the roster. If you choose to play again, that is great. Points start at 0. If you decide not to, that's okay too. Just don't expect to win.
