if you didn't watch last nights bit on the side i guess this could be considered spoiler, you have been warned.

just noticed a trend in the personal tasks/challenges/secret missions, so far deana, shievonne and rebecca had challenges and every single one of them got exposed by big brother in front of the other housemates.

Spoiler:

after seeing deana cry because she felt used by rebecca it clicked for me that the producers used this strategy to create tension between housemates 3 times already.

do you think this will keep happening for the rest of the season and can it be considered this years twist?

I wouldn't so much call it a twist as a series of deliberate, and somewhat desperate, attempts by the producers to cause conflict. But hey, it's working

I wouldn't call it desperate, I would call it messing with their heads, which is classic BB. Nice to see it introduced so early as well, no time to settle in just bish bash bosh.

i wouldt call it a twist either, and we have seen this kind of task for years..

i have a hard time calling it a twist as well that's why i put the /theme in the thread title, but i have a feeling they could call it twist in production meetings.

yes we have, but they used this device very rarely, i would think once or twice at most per season, we have seen it being used 3 times already during week 1.

I think the season theme is unlucky thirteen. That's why the house is Vegas themed, Vegas = gambling = luck, BB season Unlucky 13

This.

I don't think there is a blatent 'theme' this year but instead BB are just trying to turn the screw on the housemates, causing conflict and paranoia.

I think there will be more major twists to come, the twists so far have seemed very tame. We havn't even had a proper shipping task yet. I think there are many very unlucky twists in store.
