Big Brother & some updates


Big Brother, a show mostly unfamiliar to those in this region. Think Survivor, but in a house. And for much longer. No contact with the outside world (ie. No Tv, No Internet, No Phones). They participate in challenges akin to reward challenges and immunity challenges. There's also a special one for veto.

Basically how it runs is that there's the "immunity challenge", or known as head-of-household challenge. This grants immunity to someone who is given the rank "Head-Of-Household", HOH. This person then can nominate 2 people to vote out of the house. Voting would take place shortly, but after the veto competition is concluded. The prize is to be able to veto someone from the chopping block.

Let's play a scenario.
A - HOH
B - Chopping block
C - Chopping block
D - House guest
E - House guest

Lets say C wins veto competition. C can veto himself from the chopping block and A will have to nominate D or E to replace C. If E won, E can listen to B and C's pleas and removed B/C or not at all. If B/C was removed, A will have to place D on the block.

Nominees are voted for and the one with most votes leaves. In some regions, veto competitions are not held and voting is done by public polls instead of by the house guests. Veto competitions only apply to the US version.

BB is different, on a whole new level. Competitors are limited and restricted to a certain area. Compared to Survivor, they can take a walk down the beach or into the jungle. But in BB, they are only allowed to go within the house compound. Sometimes when there's unwanted attention from the outside world, they may even be restricted to just within the house. As such, cabin fever can result.

Okay, that's it with reality shows. Oh, wait. An announcement. The Apprentice has sunk to a level beyond calling it crap. Yes. I thought season 6 would be good but its baaaaaaaaaaad. Why? 3 silly twists that's why.

1) Losers live in backyard tents called "tent city".
2) Winning project manager stays as project manager till team loses.
3) Winning team exempt from some tasks.

Its a flop. Call it the end Donald. I think he's pretty mean, unneccessarily mean, at times. Anyway, been uber busy lately. Ignyte Video, school and exams soon. So, you know why there's a lag.
