Aww, nominated for the second time in a row? :(!

Can I just ask why i'm such a strong competitor and threat, when all I have won is one PoV, and did well in a competition based on random guessing, and there are others not nominated who have won HoH once or multiple times? It just seems to me to be slightly flawed logic.

Good luck in the PoV everyone :)

POV Competition #5

In this competition, Houseguest's will be tested on how well they've been aware of the punishments aka penalty points given throughout the course of this game. Each Houseguest must PM me a list of EVERY Houseguest (both past and present) who have received a penalty point. Additionally, each Houseguest must also state if a penalty point was removed from a Houseguest in the game.

Your PM should look something like this,

Current Penalty Point Holders

Lisa: 1 penalty point.
Mark: 2 penalty points.
Jaime: 1 penalty points.
Quasi: 1 penalty point.

Penalty Points that have been revoked

Sheila, James and Kaysar had a penalty point removed from their tally.

How many Houseguest's said the ends justify the means in the context of the game?

Uh, 7?

How many Houseguest's listed "water" as their favourite beverage?


3?



In case of a tie,

How many Houseguest's said the ends justify the means in the context of the game?

Secret Power Y Competition

Welcome to the Secret Power Y Competition Houseguest's! Thank you Ammer for inviting me to host this Competition! The prize is like that of the one previously - it is a secret! But can be quite useful. xD
This game is quite simple, below you will see picture mashup's with directions. All you need to do is figure out the whos or the whats in each picture. Each correct guess is worth one point - for Picture 1 there are three people, so a possible three points. xD Send me a PM with your answers, and whoever gets the most points wins!
The winner will NOT be revealed in public; the only thing that'll be revealed is that there was a winner of the competition. The competition will END this Thursday - June 24th, so all your entries should be in by this date, and remember, every Houseguest must participate.

In case of a tie,

How many Houseguest's listed "Family Guy" as one of their favorite shows?

Good luck! xD

I don't expect to win... I have no idea what #1 and #2 are. #3 I could only guess, and on #4 there's one I don't know.

POV Competition #5

In this competition the Houseguest's were tested on how well they paid attention to seemingly minute details throughout the game. Each Houseguest was responsible for guessing the current tally of penalty points and the history of the distribution of penalty points throughout the competition. The Houseguest who guessed the most correctly would win the POV!

Results

Crazy: 1
May: 1
3lla: 1
Lee: 1
Penguin: 2
Regan: 1
Hansy: 1

Rissa, Lee and 3lla have penalty points revoked.

Individual Houseguest Results

Hansy: 2/2
John: 2/2
WIS: 2/2
Susannahmio: 2/2
Laryxler: 2/2
Regan: Did not submit; received a penalty point

In case of a tie,

???

Both John and Hansy guessed the same answers for the tie breakers so the random generator was used and it chose John to win the POV.

General Announcement - Random Generators and our Guest Host!

Throughout this competition, I've expressed my distaste for random generators -- especially if they are used to determine winners of important competitions. In order to combat this, I've tried to give two tie breakers per challenge, and unfortunately at times, the random generator is still used.

I can't control the way you guys answer questions, but I am trying to think of methods to prevent the use of a random generator to determine winners of various competitions.

Again, I am sorry about this and I am working on different methods to prevent its usage but as of now, I will be using two tie breakers per challenge and I'm hoping that will be enough to declare a winner.

In other news, I'd like to thank our guest host Miyu for hosting the Secret Power Y Competition! If you didn't know, Miyu was a former Houseguest in Big Brother 3 and even though she didn't win, she was definitely a smart and cunning player. It's my pleasure to announce her as our guest host for this competition, so thank you Miyu for hosting one of the most creative competitions to hit Big Brother 4 :) !
