Weekly Picks

[JT5653]

thanks! Not like it matters since I'm outgoing HOH anyways. I'm not really sure with this whole twist thingy... Haha

HouseGuests, evicted and otherwise.

Since we will be bringing back some players next week (August 12 or 13), I will be using the picks as a "challenge" to see who I will bring back. I will use your total scores for the Wednesday (August 8), Thursday (August 9) and Sunday (August 12) picks to determine which evicted HouseGuests will be brought back into the game. If you are still in the house next week, you will still want to get a good score, in case you get nominated and evicted.

For the evicted HouseGuests, get ready to send picks for the upcoming Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday episodes (see dates above). To be fair, evicted HouseGuests may only start sending their new picks on Monday at 9 PM ET. You may send them all at once, or by parts.

Regular HouseGuest picks will still follow the rules of sending picks that I posted in page 1.

Tie-breaker will be your average scores. That is, your total score divided by the total possible score that you could have gotten while you were in the game. For example, if in week 1 you scored 37 points and you got evicted, then I will divide that by 56 (part 1: 13 + part 2: 16 + part 3: 27) to get your average.

Good luck.

I modified the post above. I removed the time when the evicted HouseGuests can send their picks since the tie-breaker is not the time sent but their average scores. So evicted HouseGuests can send their picks now.

For the upcoming Thursday episode, Julie Chen said there will be a Fast Forward round. Since we have 1 less regular HouseGuest than the show, we will skip that round. As for the picks, your Thursday's HoH pick will be the one who wins the Fast Forward HoH. For your Sunday's picks, the nominees will be the ones nominated by the new HoH after the Fast Forward round.

Since next Thursday (September 6) is a Fast Forward episode, please use this special format (for Thursday only). Thanks!!!


Part 1
1. Who will be evicted? (5 points)
2. Not including the HoH's vote in case of a tie, how many votes will the evicted player receive? (3 points)
3. Who will be the new Head of Household? (5 points)
Total: 13 points

Part 2
1. Who will be nominated for eviction? (5 points per correct nominee)
Total: 10 points

---- results for Parts 1 and 2 will be used for HoH and Coaches' Competition ----

Part 3
1. Who will win the Power of Veto? (5 points)
2. Will it be used to save either of the nominees? Yes/No (3 points)
3. Who will be the final nominees for eviction after the Veto ceremony? (5 points per correct nominee)
Total: 18

---- Part 3 will be used for the PoV ----


Then after the Fast Forward episode, send in picks for Part 2 of the next round.

[JP]

For Part 2 on Sunday (September 9, not this Sunday which is September 2) after the Fast Forward round, please use these picks.

Part 1 (Start sending 24 hours after the Sunday episode ends. Due 1 hour before the Sunday episode {EST})
1. Who will be the new Head of Household after the Fast Forward round? (5 points)
Total: 5 points

Part 2
1. Who will be nominated for eviction? (5 points per correct nominee)
2. Whose key will be pulled first? (3 points)
3. Whose key will be pulled last? (3 points)
Total: 16 points

[JP]

Also, the Coaches' last picks will be the one for the Fast Forward round. After that round, we'll be down to the Final 5, and you can't save anyone anymore. So from the Final 5 onwards, the Coaches will not send in picks anymore and you'll just have to coach your players to the Final 2. Help them with their picks and stuff like that.

[JP]

Don't forget your Fast Forward picks for tomorrow (see above for pattern). You can send them now, if you want.

[JP]

Just a reminder that your Sunday picks should look like this:



Part 1 (Start sending 24 hours after the Sunday episode ends. Due 1 hour before the Sunday episode {EST})
1. Who will be the new Head of Household after the Fast Forward round? (5 points)
Total: 5 points

Part 2
1. Who will be nominated for eviction? (5 points per correct nominee)
2. Whose key will be pulled first? (3 points)
3. Whose key will be pulled last? (3 points)
Total: 16 points

The Coaches are done with Picks, though, right?

[JP]

Yes, coaches no longer have to send in picks. Congratulations!!!

(of course, you may want to help out your players with their picks)
