Not looking forward to the "fake eviction". I generally prescribe to Dr Will's way of thinking wrt TWISTOOOOOS TWISTS!!! (a.k.a. wildcards this season), namely that they lower the quality of strategy present within the game by adding chaotic randomness that often ends up rewarding poor players and punishing good players by luck of the drawer.

Last season was essentially ruined because so many good players got screwed by twists, and it would be frustrating to see that happen again. I'm not really sure why they feel the need to do it; I'd be surprised if it actually had much of an effect on the ratings (which is typically the excuse given by the executives).

It's only satisfying when vile players are eliminated due to their own mistakes. There's something special about people playing bad games being eliminated because of their smug sense of security. Exhibit A: Kelsey.

Twists can take out good players, which is obviously bad because it deprives a season of quality gameplay. But it's on the other end of the spectrum also, because it's far less satisfying to see a player you dislike go due to a roll of the dice as opposed to the rest of the house deciding to blindside them.

idk... I was well satisfied last season to see Britt get that secret veto... and evict willow... and get out Jordan

all my favourite moments

I´m just glad that Super Wednesday is back.

Meaning Survivor, BBCAN and Supernatural back to back.

The only twist they need to ditch is instant eviction

And Family Therapy

Here for The Apprentice returning too

[reece(:]

I'm very dubious over this fake double too, it could go brilliantly or awfully

But it's certain to screw over whoever gets HoH

[LukeB]

I don't know why they are not telling us

And that'll depend on two things

1) If Joel's HoH has been real, they better not save Kelsey/Raul

2) Who wins HoH, because if it's someone good and their noms stay...dreadful. Whereas if it's someone like Jared and they get ****ed over, brilliant

[LukeB]

I think they should have told us by now because so many viewers are really happy about these noms and to find out it''s the fake eviction they would fume

[Mokka]

that worries me

[Jack_]

welp what if Nikki finally gets an HoH by luck (okay maybe it's unlikely) and then it's not even real

[LukeB]

I really hope the fake hoh gets to play in the next one (I probs wouldn't be saying this if Jared won )

that would make me laugh tbh

[Calderyon]

I think they´ll go with the double eviction night rules, do the comps and ceremonies, with the exception that the 1st one is real and the second one is not.

Instant evictions are the antithesis of strategy because they prevent anyone from from being able to strategise during that "week" of gameplay. That said, I can buy the argument that if it is expected that they will happen at some point, that forming bonds and alliances strong enough to weather an instant eviction is strategy to some extent. Would still definitely prefer they not happen though.

The worst twist is easily allowing evicted players back in the house that same season. If you're evicted, it should be permanent. It inevitably results in poorer houseguests getting back in, and it invariably messes with fun plans people have running.

It's Easter this week... Instant Eviction

that's an easter tradition for them

Instants are taped for the Sunday show with the feeds going down for the weekend though, Arisa confirmed they're staying up for Easter weekend

[Calderyon]

Instant evictions are unfair and a draw back to BBUS2, when Will K. was playing. Only with a way shorter time.

Tbh, only good player to survive an instant eviction against a pawn is Will Kirby.
