Week 5, Parts 1 and 2: Coaches Competition

[JP]

Hello HouseGuests!

This season, we have a new competition that is for coaches only. The winner of this competition will have the power to either save one of their members from eviction by making that person safe for the entire week, or switch one of their players for another one. Only JT, as HoH, cannot be switched.

We will base this competition from the coaches' weekly picks (part 1 and part 2).

Let's see their scores:

SPOILER: Click to show

Alina - 18
bandstud - 15
Cybergrl - 23
Dr. Will - 0


Congratulations Cybergrl! You have won the Coaches' Competition! You now have the power to keep one of your players safe from eviction this week, or, switch out one of your players for another. As HoH, you cannot switch out JT. Post your decision in this thread, and please do this within 24 hours.

Cyber your killing it!

[JT5653]

is cyber ever not gonna win? Haha. Congrats!

[Skateboard Tom]

Moreover is Dr. Will ever going to show up?

[JP]

I already sent him a message in Facebook but he hasn't replied yet. I am thinking of giving you 3 a new coach if you like? I had an alternate coach before the game started, I'll just have to contact the person if they want to coach still. And of course it all depends on you 3 if you want to get a coach.

[Cybergrl]

Wow, It's great to win again!

I've decided I am going to keep Journey safe! Good luck everyone else!

[JP]

Congratulations Journey! You are safe for this week and cannot be evicted or nominated.

Well I mean we are at a severe disadvantage. The other coaches all have the opportunity to win immunity for one of their players. Our coach isn't even trying to do that for us. Though I am not sure I still understand why the coaches are in the game to begin with since they all said they don't want to play and there is no more coaching going on in the show. The Coaches Competitions and immunities seem a little unfair at this point, but it's fine. I guess it depends on how much longer you plan on doing coaches - if its going to be awhile then I, myself, would love another coach.

[Cybergrl]

JP said that if one of the coaches players wins, then they also get a HOF. So there's reason for us coaches to keep playing. It would be unfair to us to kick us out at this point.

I do understand that you're in a disadvantage, hence my offer for you to get a new coach. I know some HouseGuests are already against it, but unless someone tells me why it's "not right" for me to replace Dr. Will if he continues his inactivity, then I'll go along with my idea.

And as Cybergrl reminded us, a coach gets an HoF if one of their players win. Luckily, I put "may" in my rules. The coach *may* get an HoF. I have foreseen this possibility of a coach going inactive, and nobody really wants to reward an inactive player with an HoF.

Oh and before Dr. Will comes back here and say I didn't require players to send in picks (which he hasn't been doing for some time now), he hasn't also signed in back to the site since August 7 without giving me any reason why.

As for this game still having coaches, you may keep complaining about it but I'm sticking to my decision and won't be turning it back.

[Skateboard Tom]

Then yes, I would like a new coach.

And yes I will continue to voice my opinion on this matter, because I feel like this is no longer an On-Season game that we all signed up for. Also I am free to post my opinion.

[AlinaWilson]

Cyber! Ugh, again?! Piss me the f**k off!

[JP]

You are free to post your opinion, but I don't know what you'll get out of continually posting about it when it's clear that everyone knows where you stand on the issue and that it also wouldn't change anything. Tell me why you keep posting your objections to the direction I have taken this game. I already know you disagree with it, and that you don't like it. I want to know WHY YOU KEEP ON HARPING ABOUT IT. If you're doing it to piss me off so that I blow off on you and so that you can show to SEG how bad of a host I am then I'm slowly getting there.

But then again, everyone knows I have a bad temper, so it's not like you'll "destroy" my reputation here in SEG. Like I care. You and others may paint me untrustworthy when I play games, but I will fight tooth and nail when someone is trying to drag my reputation as a host.

Wooh. Yes, I am now officially pissed. I don't usually do this, so I might as well do this now.

(Just to let everyone know, Jason and I don't get along. I told him personally about it. I don't fight with him out here on the boards, because that's just a waste of our energy. It's not being fake, it's being civil. But this time, I'll let him say whatever he wants to say to me. I am pissed off anyway, I have to get this bad energy out, might as well do it now and then move on in the game.)

If Dr Will doesn't show back up, then why not split his three players amongst the three remaining active Coaches?

Obviously I like this idea cause it puts me back above 1 player

But it'll also give the players from Dr Will's team all active Coaches who will try for them without introducing anyone new who hasn't previously been a part of the game.

3 players without an active Coach + 3 active Coaches = problem solved

[Skateboard Tom]

JP - I apologize. That was not my intent and I will drop it and not bring it up again. I only brought it up conversationally in response to your question, and my intent was not to piss you off. You are doing a great job hosting this very complicated season and I respect your decisions from here on out.

it does get problematic if his constant zeroes are a sign of inactivity rather than strategy (errr).

just for the record, i'm OK with this idea. but i'm also OK with replacing Dr. Will with a new coach. either way, we need to make sure that Dr. Will is definitely inactive before replacing him just so we're not creating more problems...

[Spoon]

Im ok with both ideas as well, if were taking a poll

[hawkeyecub]

JP, I was never asked to coach.....however I'd be happy to help out if you decide you need a replacement for Mike Buck. I know from his FB updates that he's been hard at work studying for his required Korean Language class.

Just let me know.....

This is why I like you as a host! (not as a player lol) This is a great idea. I will take this into consideration.

I am still in talks with Dr. Will but like hawkeyecub said, he seems busy this week and hasn't replied to my PMs in a timely manner. Latest update from him though is that he still wants to continue playing, but that he doesn't "find the purpose of sending in picks when all i'm doing in the game is coaching." I pointed out to him that there's the Coaches' Comp (which help players get Immunity), plus the fact that he hasn't signed in to SEG in a while. Still waiting for his reply.

I also thought that maybe Skateboard Tom, panties, and IANU can talk to their coach and see what's up, and convince him to send in his picks. Because in the end, it's you 3 who are playing the game, not me. I'm just here to make the game as fair as possible for everyone. (who knows, maybe you're giving your coaches headache that I don't know about! )

hawkeyecub, thanks for the offer. Unfortunately, I already offered the position to somebody else. To be fair to the person, they did apply as coach when the game began, but I had to turn them down because I already had my 4 coaches.

[Skateboard Tom]

Good idea JP, I'll send him a note.
