Twists

I know that some Big Brother fans love/like twists in the game and some downright abhor them. One of the many wonderful commenters here on Silly Hamsters who goes by BJ gave me this idea for a post. I thought it would be interesting to bring it up top and see what y'all thought.

Personally, I don't mind twists in Big Brother for the most part. For example, many didn't like the X-Factor twist in BB4 but I actually liked it. Perhaps it's because I enjoyed the drama and scheming in the house that season between Jun and Jee and watching Alison with Nathan along with all of the Erica/Robert drama. Project DNA in BB5 was just so/so I thought and I didn't like the Secret Partners twist in BB6 at all because it was so cheesy.

Of course I remember the show in its purest form in BB1 and then the Americanized versions of Big Brother beginning in season 2. BB2 and BB3 are probably my two favorite seasons ever but many newer fans of Big Brother would probably find them rather tame overall compared to this season of Big Brother 8. There weren't any real 'twists' back then unless you count adding the Power of Veto competition and POV power (BB3), introducing the Golden Power of Veto (Marcellas who didn't use it on himself in BB3), and having a houseguest be evicted and then voted back in (Amy in BB3). Yeah, BB3 was pretty damned exciting. LOL

Now remember when I said I don't mind twists for the most part? For Big Brother 9 I would really love to see a house full of complete strangers. We haven't been treated to that since BB3 and I think it's about time for that to happen again.

What are your thoughts on twists? Do you think there might be at least one more twist left in this season of Big Brother? Would you even want to see another twist this season or any other season? And if you could come up with a twist of your own for either this season or any future seasons, what would you propose? What do you think of having complete strangers play the game next season?

I'm with you, HD. I've been watching since season 1 as well and I totally agree that we need complete strangers in the house again. Taking that idea one step further, I would also like to see a houseful of thirty-somethings. Don't get me wrong, I love the drama of the twenty-somthings and even the forty-somthings (Evel Dick). I wonder though, would hamsters that are about the same age act any differnt than hamsters that are of various ages? Hhhhhmmmmmm...

I completely agree with you HD. Next season should be a house full of complete strangers. I also think a cool twist for a season would be "6 Degrees" there's that whole theory that everyone is connected by 6 degrees of separation, so I think it would be cool if everyone in the house was connected by 6 degrees of separation. Because they would still be complete strangers but they would distantly know eachother.

Yes, most def I want strangers in the house for BB9. That is the most fun, I think. Season 2 and Season 6 were my favorite seasons. Although, because of Dr Will in Season 2 might make it very favorite. He was even better in All Stars, sigh.
Twists? I don't know, I don't want double eviction at this point. Remember when Daniele had to be sequestered in a room in the house that looked an awful lot like a jail cell for 24 hours? That was good. I would like to see Whamber get that, wouldn't that be great? She would go freaking nuts!!!
Surprise me BB. I do want to see another endurance comp soon, as in next Thursday.
