Welcome back to the BigBrother Reality Aptitude Test ... 2!
Wow! What an amazing week!
Who coulda predicted? (Obviously, NO ONE?!)
We should have all just come to the conclusion that things have continued to sway back and forth, from The Bad side to the Good side and back again. So it shouldn't have been a huge suprise that it would happen once more.
Week On ~ Week Off. Right?
What was most suprising about it all was that L'il Bo Sheep won the HOH.
Had we known, or even remembered who Beau was, the rest of it should have been kinda predictable.
However, no bbrat guessed that SeeBS would introduce a new character and that that character would win HOH.
Regardless, it can be considered a feindsheep win. Subsequently Rachel and Howie were nominated.
Another seemingly fated occurence is that James wins POV's. Yet only a couple of you guessed that correctly. Let's see if we can learn a lesson here.
James chooses to appease the nerd herd and Howie and Rachel remain nominated.
HurricaneHowie loses a little force and becomes TropicalDepressionHowie which reinforces to the feindship that the "Real" player must go. (Even Rachel agrees)
And Rachel is unanimously evicted.

Okay, so the idea to make consequences for wrong answers made me pretty giddy at first. Yet, when the initial scores started coming in, it got downright uncomfortable.
Actual stomach wrenching moments as question after question after bbrat after bbrat were incorrect. I kept thinking, "Boy I sure do hope these folks played in the bonus this week."
The plain fact is ... if it weren't for the Casino Bonus I would've been forced to post a lot of negative scores for the bbrats this week. I would totally understand why, seeing as how Beau just showed up unexpectedly and all.
LOL
In fact, the only player to accrue any positive "regular" points was alwaysintruble.
Kudos for getting the most answers correct, A'it.
During the CasinoBonus, it was RoadKill ... who ... well, ummm ... killed the competition. Scoring an astounding 44 points.
The two of them end up sharing this weeks HOH.
Their shared scores were 31 points each. Therefore everyone with 15 or less must go on PB&J.
(At least you had a week off, Charonna.)
Name ~ RegularScore (CasinoBonus) = SubTotal (+HOH or -PB&J) = WeeklyTotal
HOH:
Road Kill ~ -13 (44) = 31 (+5) = 36
alwaysintruble ~ 5 (26) = 31 (+5) = 36
In the Crowd:
Captain_Savem ~ -5 (34) = 29
ARnutz ~ -5 (34) = 29
LibraRising ~ -13 (34) = 21
WaterDrop ~ -13 (34) = 21
seahorse ~ -7 (34) = 27
RebelCrown ~ -5 (24) = 19
Bebo ~ -13 (26) = 13*PB&J Pass
PB&J Crew:
Lasann ~ -15 (30) = 15 (-3) = 12
bystander ~ -5 (20) = 15 (-3) = 12
DearAbby ~ -13 (24) = 11 (-3) = 8
Charonna ~ -13 (18) = 5 (-3) = 2
bdemoney ~ -5 (10) = 5 (-3) = 2
Yensid ~ -13 (14) = 1 (-3) = -2
Reality_Tv_fan ~ -3 (-3) = -6
In Limbo:
mckelviej ~ 0
Kyra ~ 0
Once again, ARnutz doesn't need the PB&JPass for themself.
So I propositioned, ARnutz. Without much groveling to be had, ARnutz gave the PB&JPass to the bluepeep, Bebo.
Welcome to the Crowd Bebo. (and thanks for all that you do.)
Now, when it came to the Casino we all know how well RoadKill did and that alwaysintruble and him are sharing the HOH this week ... which is why it should come as no suprise that the two of them are in the TOP5 as well.
However, it was ARnutz who claims the lead position.
RoadKill makes a monsterous move and climbs into second. DearAbby is knocked into 3rd.
4th and 5th are alwaysintruble and WaterDrop.
Final Tallies:
T ARnutz ~ 29 (125) = 154
O Road Kill ~ 36 (103) = 139
P DearAbby ~ 8 (129) = 137
* alwaysintruble ~ 36 (91) = 127
5 WaterDrop ~ 21 (100) = 121
RebelCrown ~ 19 (101) = 120
Yensid ~ -2 (119) = 117
Captain_Savem ~ 29 (82) = 111
Bebo ~ 13 (100) = 113*PB&J Pass
LibraRising ~ 21 (89) = 110
Kyra ~ 0 (84) = 84
seahorse ~ 27 (57) = 84
Charonna ~ 2 (75) = 77
Lasann ~ 12 (59) = 71
bdemoney ~ 2 (63) = 65
bystander ~ 12 (17) = 29
mckelviej ~ 0 (21) = 21
Reality_Tv_fan ~ -6 (0) = -6

"HamsterQuotes" a.k.a. the PiggyBank Aftermath
Unfortunately, due to the responses received for the just posted weeks PiggyBank Challenge (Which has already been decided, but I can't tell you who won yet.) I have a surplus of tokens. These tokens were given to players who either chose not to participate in the bonus or were just absent, so I kept them ... all 98 tokens.
I would, however, be willing to part with them.
In fact, to make it more profitable for you, I've decided to exchange the tokens for points.
I'm willing to offer 14 points per question below and only 14.
Here's the twist, the more bbrats to get a question correct, the more the 14 tokens (per question) will be split among you.
So hopefully, you can answer them all correctly, and by yourself.
We know that this group of DAW's HG's are quite capable of verbalizing in a very colorful way. Every single HG has been heard uttering some pretty strange quotes.
So I've decided to test you on a few.
Which HG's were heard to utter each of the following "lines".
Firstly, A different HG must be named for each quote.
Your list of HG's to choose from is all 14. But only 7 are correct.
All quotes come straight from the HG's mouth. (But not necessarily, from the show.)
Again, Each quote comes from a different HG. Once more, No 2 quotes are from the same HG.
GoodLuck and GoodGuessin'.
BonusQuestions
1. "I hope, for a luxury competition, we get real grass."
2. "Romania isn't in Europe, it's in Russia."
3. "I lied on the psychological questionaire."
4. "I run the ghettos!!!"
5. "Farts don't stain the sheets. They stain the fibers."
6. "I've been eating raw tuna by the canfulls, for years!"
7. "If these guys want to be dumb, I can be dumb five times worse!"

*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. (The "POP QUIZ" has been thrown. Not much came of it.)
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. Also, if a question cannot be answered definitively then it will be removed from consideration/voided.
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.
Howie: Janelle, what's the most disgusting thing a guy ever said to you?
Janelle: "Hi, I'm Howie."
