For those topics one could describe as the forum equivalent of a twinkie. Word games, forum contests and giveaways are all the rage here.

Has anyone heard from Ammer at all? The POV winner was supposed to be announced yesterday and there was supposed to have been some sort of secret competition today. I hope he's alright :/

General AnnouncementAs all of you have figured out, yesterday was supposed to be the day I revealed the POV winner and started a new competition. However, I caught the stomach flu on Sunday night, and I honestly could not move out of my bed for the entire day on Monday.
I hope you all understand that I try my best to make sure everything is posted on time but when I have a horrible stomach flu, I just can't come online and post the winner. I am very sorry for this interruption and therefore I have mended the schedule accordingly.
Today will be the day the POV winner is announced.
Tomorrow will be the day the POV Ceremony takes place AS WELL as the vote. I know it's a tight schedule but if we want to keep on track for Thursday, it's what has to happen.
Again, I am so sorry for the inconvenience. But I am feeling much better now so nothing should be delayed

And I thank everyone for their concern

I'm glad you're feeling better Ammer! I hope you kicked that stomach flu in the pants!

Wow, John is on a roll - First HOH, then POV, all in the same week
Tue Jul 08, 2008 5:20 pm
Yay! I've seen 'Blades of Glory' before. Good Luck May and Rissa!

"Everyone, it's time for the Veto Ceremony, please go to the living room," instructed John as he led the way into the living room, filled with two couches facing one another, a long wooden table placed in the center and one love seat facing the front of the room.
The Houseguest's took their places on the couches, while the nominee's took their places on the love seat.
"Welcome to the veto meeting everyone. Rissa and May, please state why I should use the veto on you," John continued, "Rissa, you can start,"
Rissa stood up and said, ""I am terribly disappointed in myself to find out that I seem to become inactive. I can assure you that I am not, I check the thread every day, but I'll be the first to admit that I am shy and can't always think of something good to contribute that has not already been said," she paused, "I didn't think before that I would have to do this, but it is clear now that I have to in order to be considered "active." I promise, however, that I will try harder to be more social, I suppose, for lack of a better word. I have been told that I need to begin doing this for other things as well. Being shy has been weighing me down in a lot of ways recently. I think Big Brother would be a good place to break this habit, so I ask, I beg, because I have no shame, that you give me another chance. Thank you,"
"Thank you," said John, "May, it's your turn,"
May stood up and made her plea, "I feel that the power of veto should be used on myself because I am active in this game. I have posted almost every time something is updated. I have participated to the best of my abilities in all of the competitions. I would love the opportunity to participate for longer, and if it means that I have to post 10 times a day, I will. Good luck in your decision" she said.
"Thank you," said John, he glanced down for a minute while he thought about her decision. John glanced up and said, "Okay. First of all, I'd like to say, this really is a hard decision. Rissa, I did consider you because yes, I do have the same problem. Sometimes, I want to reply to the thread, type my message and then decide not to post it. I understand that some people can be shy at times," he paused, "Also, May, I may have made a mistake in choosing you for eviction due to inactivity and I do apologize for that as you have been really active. I must be blind! In the end, I have come to the conclusion that I am going to take May off the block. Sorry Rissa,"
May nodded her head as John slipped the POV around her neck. She sat on the couch next to Hansy as everyone awaited John's replacement nomination decision.
"As HOH, I need to nominate a replacement nominee. So I choose to nominate WIS," he said.
WIS nodded his head and walked to the nominee couch, sitting next to Rissa.
"I nominated you WIS as I see you as a threat in this game," John explained, "This meeting is now adjourned,"
The Houseguest's stood up and began to hug one another. Who will be evicted from the Big Brother house, WIS or Rissa? And who will be the new HOH? Find out on Thursday!

POV Ceremony - Why was it posted today?As you know, I said the POV Ceremony was going to be posted tomorrow as I assumed John would send it to me by tomorrow. However, John was very quick at responding (Thanks John!) and has made it possible for the schedule to get back on track!
Again, I am sorry for the delay this week
Tue Jul 08, 2008 6:01 pm
May stood up and made his plea
*AHEM*
And thanks John for saving me!!!!
Sorry to WIS being nominated - it makes me sad

Well, I originally had WIS making the plea until I realized he didn't send me one because he wasn't nominated (yet) and I got your gender right at the ending if that counts for anything!

LOL - I was just having a little fun 'cos I was excited at my freedom...hehehe
Thanks for the fix
