How does the Power of Veto Work? Who is Safe?

*If the Power of Veto (PoV) is won by an HG who is on the block, said HG may remove choose to remove him or herself from the block, or they may choose to remove the other person (pretty rare!), or they may choose to allow the noms to remain the same and not use the veto at all.

In the event the HG on the block chooses to use the PoV, the HoH must select a new HG to take that HGs place on the block.

*If the PoV is won by someone *not* on the block, they may use it to Veto one of the nominations, and their own safety is insured.

Again, the non-nominated person that won the PoV may not be nominated, even when they use it to Veto one of the nominations.

How Does a Double Elimination Week Work?

In the past, the Fast Forward or "Double Eviction" weeks have worked as follows:

Lets base the example on Natalie's HoH Week, just for easy reference (not a prediction at all)...

One of Natalie's nominees, Josh or Sharon (the ReNom), will be evicted. Then Julie will tell the houseguests that they're about to have a fast forward week, and HoH, Veto, Veto Ceremony and Eviction will all play out within a matter of 30 or so minutes.

Natalie, having been the last HoH would not be eligible to play for HoH. Whichever of her nominees that remained in the house, however, would be.

It's a new week begun...

All of the eligible HGs would play. He or She who won HoH would make immediate nominations.

A PoV Comp may or may not ensue (it's not guaranteed)...

Then the HGs vote out whichever of the new nominees (put up by the new HoH) they choose...

Up and out the door, lickety split.

Within the next little while, there would be another HoH comp to determine the HoH who would reign for the rest of the week... and make new nominees..

Is Natalie Really an NFL Cheerleader?

We don't think so. We checked out the site for the team she said she cheers for, and they have a complete roster of the cheerleaders, and she's not on it.

When is the First Big Brother Endurance Comp?

Why am I so sure (99%) about it being endurance? Well, during Big Brother 5 & 6, the endurance comp happened immediately following the exit of the last HG to not be part of the jury house. That eviction is this week. During Big Brother 6 and 7, they were held right before the last non jury member was evicted. Season 6, it was held immediately following Kaysar (the evicted HG's) return.

Seeing a parallel here? We're overdue.

With the return of one of the evicted HGs immediately following the eviction, the head count in the house goes back up to 9... leaving 7 jurors and 2 finalists. Endurance awaits us...beginning near the end of the Live Show and continuing on the live feeds. (I can't wait!)

The endurance comp is NOT something you want to just read about. It's something to be seen, live, on the feeds. Here's the link for the 2 week free trial. I strongly encourage you get it all set up and ready well before the event actually starts.

Am I 100% positive it'll be March 12th? No. It just follows the patterns of the past 4 years... Plus, it's an extra dramatic way to re-introduce the formerly evicted houseguest into the mix.
