July 1, 2009 at 11:58 amWill the 13th mystery houseguest be a new HG or Past Houseguest ? And are there more than 1 options for the the mystery houseguest ?
July 1, 2009 at 12:02 pmAks Alison if the cliques — Populars, Athletes, Brainiacs, and Off Beats will win HOH as a group or one person and will they be eveicted as a group?
July 1, 2009 at 12:05 pmallison why can’t you just do a regular big brother season without all these stupid twists all the fans hate?
and are the cliques competing together in competitions like in big brother 9 or is it individual? (please individual)
July 1, 2009 at 12:08 pm1) Will this work like season 9 when they were forced togeather?
July 1, 2009 at 12:11 pm2) How will evictions and nominations be effected by who is in what clique? Will it be like season 9 where they were HOH togeather, POV togeather, evicted togeather, ect.? IF not, how will it work?
3) Is this the twist that you were hiding in the locked downstairs bedroom during Media Day?
4) How will the Mystery Houseguest play into the cliques?
5) Will the mystery houseguest join one of the cliques or will the mystery houseguest be on their own?
What is going on with that third bedroom being locked ? and no pics ? Is it part of another twist ?
