Pandora's Box - Diamond Power of Veto

Recommended Posts

I've been watching this show for years and this is the first season that I could care less who makes it to the end. I cant even imagine how boring the feeds will be when they get to the final four. Why oh why would anyone cast Lane and Kathy on this show? Two completely useless characters. B O R I N G. And the most amazing thing is that this cast thinks they are awesome!?! It blows my mind!

Yep, this season ranks right up there with S9, imo.

Pandora's box has provided good for the opener, bad for the rest, OR bad for the opener, good for the rest.

We know that "the rest" have gotten bad, being the saboteur is unleashed. So, Matt must have gotten something good. $1 is not good. I'm willing to be he either got a special power, or more money ($1,000?)

I definitely think Matt got more than one dollar but who knows. BB has really been cutting the budget (who hasn't) so it might be true. I think he got $1 to spend on a power. Since we have to have this stupid saboteur thing(even the HG's think it's lame and dumb) I'm glad it's Ragan.

I hope "game changing power" gives America more say in the game, not just voting for stupid pranks to pull on people.

The whole message sounds like it gives the saboteur a one-up to further himself in the game. Personally I don't see anything happening other than things to annoy the other HG's, like messing with the sock monkey or hiding stuff.

Grodner needs to wake up and get out of 2nd grade with her "big twists".

Pandora's box has provided good for the opener, bad for the rest, OR bad for the opener, good for the rest.

It's bad for both. It gives an existing alliance more power than they deserve (given they already have an advantage in numbers). And bad for the user because it almost assures they'll be voted out. Matt's best option is to not use it at all. Just like Mike Boogie did. But his ego might not allow for that.

But CBS, in their haste to get the saboteur back in the game, screwed up by just handing over the second most powerful thing in Big Brother to a random houseguest in a way where it could function as a secret power nobody would know about. "Expect the unexpected" basically means "Some crazy sh*t could happen that royally #&^@s up your game in a way you can't possibly defend yourself."

This season irritates me to no end. Saboteur has no power to change -anything- that matters. Therefore, it's not game changing. Diamond veto would of been cool if it wasn't just given to a random member. But if for example it had been like the lock boxes in the gold room in season 6. Some kind of puzzle the house guests had to figure out to obtain. The only good thing about this god forsaken season, is the fact that for the first time on Thursday night, Matt or Rachel can't become the new HOH.

Rachel is going home.

Matt is outgoing HOH.

Which means one of the other floaters has to finally stop floating.

I really don't want the winner to be Branden. I don't want him doing the Brigades dirty work.

I wish production can tell the sab that Matt didnt get a dollar like he claims but something game changing.. tell Ragan it's a prize anyone in the house would accept if given the chance without of course outright telling Ragan what Matt got and make it the next Sab message, the house should know that he got something monumental. This game should NOT be given to him this easily. This season is fustrating as hell.

LOL I don't know I think it would just be hilarious to watch a real player in this game show these people how it's done. Honestly I am not sure there is a single all star in this cast. Maybe Britney just because I think she is an all star in the Diary Room lol.

Dr. Will must be sitting at home thinking damn why couldn't this have been the cast I was with it would of been far far far too easy.

pssh...MARCELLAS could even roll through this group :-p

Also, if I'm not mistaken... isn't the Diamond power of veto the exact same as the coup de tat? I can't think of any difference (other than the fact that BB just randomly bestowed it on someone undeserving instead of allowing us to give it to someone- like Brit or Enzo!). The holder gets to remove one or both of the nominees from the block, and replace them with whoever he wants. And he can only use it in the next two weeks. Is that not exactly what the coup de tat was? Why change the name?

:queen::pooh:

I think the diamond pov can only be used on him or a replacement nominee. Example, If he goes up next week, he can take himself off and choose the person to take his place but the other nominee will remain on the block or if the person who wins POV uses it to remove themselves from the block, he can override the HOH replacement if he's not ok with it. I think that's how it works.

Instead of a new Saboteur how about Pandora's Box releases Dr. Will, Janelle, Dan, or another real BB all star!!!! To game play and compete circles around this incredibly weak game playing and competition cast. I mean I am not joking I think this cast takes the cake by far as the worst at endurance competitions at least.

I think that's a fabulous idea!! And yes you're right they are awful at endurance comps. I don't have the live feeds, but do have BBAD. I was looking forward to tuning in for BBAD last Thursday to watch part of the endurance comp before I went to bed. I checked Morty's after about 2 hours, thinking that maybe 1 person would've dropped only to find out they already had a winner! Are they really that big of whimps?! Seriously! YOU'RE PLAYING FOR A HALF MILLION DOLLARS YOU LAZY BUMS!! LOL :furious3:

Instead we got Scratch-Off Lottery Ticket Diamond Veto. Win HOH that week, it's yours. No skill required, just be in a house full of people that throw competitions because they're afraid of a pasty low-rent Vegas escort.

The diamond veto is going to go to waste if Matt isn't on the block next week ... I mean why give it to the HOH who has the power to 1 nominate and 2 replace one of his nominations if the veto is used anyway ... It just doesn't make sense ...

Then next week he can't play HOH and chances are he won't be put on the block either for getting rid of Brendon or Rachel ... And if any of the other brigade is on the block why use the Power to remove them ... Thats a vote in the jury house for you ... Not so game changing now is it???

I totally agree with you, It is totally gone to waste being in Matts hands. Esp if Brendon wins. Brendon will prob go after Bitchney and Raghag (as he well should) and only put Matt up if bitchney or raghag win POV. Because chances are Kathag wont win and we all know noone in the brigade will use it. Except maybe Lane, but then he will not have the protection anymore. So I feel the diamonf POV was a big fat waste of a twist yet again just like the Sab was....At this point, with the events of this week and the down right low scum Bitchney and Raghag have proven to be, I hate to say it but the only other option now is to hope Enzo wins. I know he is part of the Brigade, but after hearing him use some common sense and basic human respect this week when it comes to Brenchel, I have to. Kathy isnt even a consideration for me bc she has no game and is one of those kids you saw in school who the "cool kids" pretended to like just to make fun of her and use her. All the while knowing but still wanting to be in the "in crowd" Morals and integrity my azz!

there has to be a bigger reason as to why this particular HOH week came along with extra protection, I dont think they would put the DV out in the game along with the high possibility that it WON'T be used somehow within the next 2 evictions, but they're going to make it a high possibility that it will be used somehow, so I think something big is coming either this week (double eviction) or next week (no Pov challenge), but seriously who knows this entire season has been a total ginormous failure.

Every year people say how the season bites, yet every year there are more and more veiwers and higher ratings. BB has and always will be my favorite reality show, yes, even S9. You never know what you are gonne get. The HG are doing interviews, like for a job, and are not always truthful about themselves. I just have a question. Can the DPOV trump the POV. If it can, would be totally hilarious if the POV is used to take him/herself off the block and Matt can put right back on. Don't think it will happen, but I would just love to see Brendon/Rachel win the POV next week and have the one person they both agree to despise put them right back on. :animated_rotfl:

LOVE BB AND ALWAYS WILL__EVEN THE HATERS WILL MISS IT WHEN ITS GONE ! ! ! !

Thank you! I am so happy Brenden won (I am such a sucker for the underdog its disgusting) that I don't want Matt to be able to putt Brenden up!

On another note, I hope they get the ice b***h (aka bitchney, aka britney) out of the house! she makes me sick! she is so two faced and I can't stand to look at her skanky face anymore! Ok, venting done, I feel better!
