Elimination 10 [Please go to Main Topic thread]

[Benjamin]

http://i.imgur.com/7b8Gxj0.jpg?1



It's back for its tenth anniversary (and it's the last one to be hosted by myself!)

Last season saw tantrums, betrayal, close calls and sheer luck but in the end it came down to Drew winning against his ally and friend, Jake.

Just like the last few editions the game will remain similar to the format of the US Big Brother with Head of Households (HoH), Veto (PoV) and a jury of eliminees deciding the winner, so the forum has little say on who stays and goes; that my friends is down to how well you play the game strategy wise. Don't worry if you have never seen BB US, that will have no bearing on the game.

So you still think what you have what it takes to avoid being eliminated? Think again. You'll have to be smart and savvy; fly too far under the radar and you'll be picked off, the same goes if you play too nice, as many have found out. You'll need a strategy that works, and for one of you, that strategy will pay off just like it has done for Marc, Shaun, MarkWaldorf, Niamh, MrGaryy, Conor, GypsyGoth, Donovan and Drew.


PoV and HoH are decided by a mixture of tasks and challenges that will try and give no one person a complete advantage over everyone else.

Failure to participate fully will also see you eliminated, by myself, so get involved as I cannot stand people who apply and then do nothing!

If you want to see what past games looked like then click here (http://www.thisisbigbrother.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=147)

The game will commence on the 25th August and will last approx 3 weeks (if you are clever enough to last that long); applications will close shortly before then.

To apply simply send me a PM and state why you should play and what strategy you will bring to the game.

Was going to apply but I start college on the day of the launch :laugh: I'll enjoy being a viewer :).

[Benjamin]

Hmm, I could bring it forward a week for the start (I forgot people start uni mid September). Plus there seem to be no other games on (I was just worried about clashing with BB)

[Nick.]

This sounds great but I'm not going to apply but will be watching! :)

I don't think it'll matter with BB on it to be honest, I think a lot more people would consider with it being brought forward. :)

[andybigbro]

I would apply but I'm on holiday at the start of September :sad:

[Benjamin]

Okay, the start date has moved by one week (so starts on the 25th August)

[Benjamin]

:suspect: tempted to apply and win this bitch now :laugh:

That's great, but I don't really know that much about BBUSA :conf:

[Vanessa]

That's great, but I don't really know that much about BBUSA :conf:

There's a link to previous Elimination games, so you can see how it works.

Hey I'm fairly new to this forum. Could I apply?

Absolutely, anybody can apply for the game :hugesmile:

That's great, but I don't really know that much about BBUSA :conf:

Also, you don't need to know about BB US to play the game. :)

[T*]

Apply for this!
and for VS2 :hehe:

[Benjamin]

I have 2 females applied (at last), any more would be great, or infact any more apps. I have more than enough players so far but I like to keep my options open with the cast and make a final decision on the day. :hugesmile:

[AbbieJ]

Apply for this!
and for VS2 :hehe:

Is VS2 going to clash with Elimination? I don't mind contributing to both at the same time. I'm on an iPod Touch + Tablet so I might be quite slow at replying but its not that slow. Yet!

[Benjamin]

Applications are now closed. Thank you to the 35 of you who applied.

The successful players will hear from me in the next 2/3 days, I apologise now if you are not selected but there may still be a chance for you to play.

The game will start on 22nd August so please DO NOT get banned and please be active.

See you soon :devil:

[Benjamin]

Some of you have had responses already from me. If successful please can you not mention to anybody you are playing until I reveal you at the launch on Friday please :hugesmile:

[Benjamin]

The last player has been selected. For those who have not been successful you may still get to play and I apologise, I got a lot more apps than expected. I was tempted to bump the number of players up but it would make the game harder to manage.

[Bluerang1]

I hope I got in :worry:

[reece(:]

[Benjamin]

All invites are sent, if you got one and haven't already done so can you just confirm you are still playing by replying to my PM.

Just a reminder that starts at 7pm tomorrow night. If by chance you can't be on for 7pm dead on, that is fine. Just let me know via PM.

[LukeB]

can someone explain how mole works?

[Marc]

:flutter: amazingly

[Benjamin]

I'm applying for a game[shocker] and think I should be chosen because I haven't done this type of game before and could bring something new and different to the table. A strategy I would use would be just getting rid of the game*****s who play every TiBB game to give others a chance but it could all change depending on who's playing and where alliances shift too :pipe: I won't be initiating drama but I will be secretly igniting it.

If I'm in with people I don't really speak to then I'll definitely be playing hard, if not I'll probably float a while.

I should play because I feel that I would be such a good player and will bring a lot to the game. I can be everyone's friend and make them think I'm there friend but really I'm not. I'm going to be selfish and only think of me and protect myself. I'll only protect another person if I think they are going to try and get me out to help my game.

Some little teasers.

[Bluerang1]

By the way, what he say?
He can tell I ain't missing no meals
Come through and **** em in my automobile
And I'm hitting it with his girls, and he telling me to chill
And he telling me it's real, that he love my sex appeal
Say he don't like em boney, he want something he can grab
So I pulled up in the Jag, and I hit em with the jab like

http://i.imgur.com/AVFXDRE.gif

[Benjamin]

I think I have a good chance of winning. My game plan is to start a final 2 deal with someone unexpected. It's risky but I think I could pull it off. I plan on dividing the house against each other and pulling attention away from myself and putting the target on others. I'll be making decisions for others but will make them think it's their own idea. I imagine a few of my friends will also play and I will use them in this game but I won't hesitate to throw them under the bus as they are more use to me on the jury than up against me in the final.

My Strategy: Come second/third in the first HOH, if it's endurance. If not, do my very best to win it, as I'd probably be at high risk of going first if I don't create allegiances by holding power first. As the game progresses, I plan on creating a 2-4 people alliance. I believe that the smaller, the more powerful in a way because of the trust one can have with each other. Finally, I want to focus on being both an active as well as reactive player. I think it's important to be able to play the game from both angles, depending on how the players are structured at any given time.

[LukeB]

they do this most seasons i think, i only watched bbusa 16! when there are 4 people in the jury you should make a task for one to re enter the game!

[Benjamin]

I would like to apply please and I think I should be picked because I am a good team player but willing to make decisions when it matters.

I am going in with a bit of a twisted strategy depending on who else enters, I know I won't be accepted if a group forms of older members so if that happens I might try and team with newer ones but hopefully people will underestimate me and keep me around if I stay active.

My strategy is simple. Win hard or go home, floaters you better grab a life vest tbh and my mission will be getting them out and let my alliance do the dirty work. I would want to have a core alliance of about 6 members and have a few side alliances so I control the house.

You should let elimination rest after this series, not here for a flop reboot next year

6 mins!

I think Shaun, Marc or someone else like that, should take Elimination & The Mole under their wing. They'd do a great job of it, and they'd make a reboot series that wouldn't suck.
