Well I don't know if you have access to this board anymore Sandra, so congrats on making Jury, and I'm glad that you'll have a final deciding vote!

Bradley being expelled for violation of the rules... hmm And wants it to remain disclosed??? Doesn't make sense to me. If you dropping out from the game, that would be fine. I don't think that if you are being removed from the game because of a rules violation, that it should be a secret. My opinion of course, and my opinion that I'm allowed to have. So it would have to be a violation of one of the rules... as follows... Let's make this quick and easy...
Head of Household (HoH)
In an standard round there will be a Head of Household (better known as HoH) competition. The winner will be safe from leaving the Big Brother house for the round and will have the responsibility to nominate 2 other houseguests for eviction. Anyone winning HoH cannot compete in the following round's HoH competition unless it is during the final round when only 3 players remain.
Miscellaneous Challenges
Following the HoH competition, there may or may not be a Food and/or Reward challenge. These random challenges will pit players against one another either as teams or individuals to fight to earn rewards or to prevent themselves from having negative factors influence their game.
Rewards could be (but are not limited to) things such as extra votes, special veto powers, the coveted Coup de Etat, competition bonuses, etc.
Negative factors that might be enforced on players could be (but are not limited to) social isolation, competition hindrances, extra votes against them, automatic nomination, etc.
Golden Power of Veto (PoV)
Following the special challenge of the round (if there is one), ALL players will compete in a Veto competition. The winner of this will earn the Golden Power of Veto, allowing them to remove one of the nominees from the eviction block (even if they are one of the nominees). If the Power of Veto is used, the HoH must then name a replacement nominee (who cannot be the vetoed nominee or the Veto winner).
Votes & Evictions
Following the veto ceremony, a vote will take place in which all players vote to evict one of the two nominees. The current HoH will only vote in the case of a tie, and the two nominees will not vote. The player with the most votes cast against them for eviction will leave the house immediately. Votes should be cast in your diary room in a special thread which is labelled and only used for voting.
Be Active!
Activity is a must! Failure to participate in a challenge (no matter what kind of challenge) will earn you a strike. Failure to vote will get you a strike. Upon accumulating 3 strikes a player will be automatically and immediately evicted from the game.
Quitting and/or Expulsion
If at any time a player is evicted or quits in the middle of a round for any reason (strikes, failure to follow rules, etc.), that round will end, even if the evicted player was not one of the 2 nominees. Not only will this ensure player activity, but it will also be an incentive for HoH winners to nominate any suspected inactive players, rather than simply letting them strike out on their own.
Vacations and/or Extended Absences
If you cannot make a challenge deadline, simply give notice ahead of time to avoid getting a strike. Also, if you think you might be away during a vote, please provide a bootlist in your diary room so that your vote can be determined from that.
Diary Rooms
Diary rooms are there for entertainment purposes, and only the Hosts/Housecalls have access to your private room. There will be no requirements to write in your diary room, but when All Star selection comes around in future seasons, DR participation will be factored. Writing in your DR makes it fun for the hosts and for other players when the game is over. While I know the annoyance of trying to write all the time, please do as much as you can. Some challenges will take place in your diary rooms.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Respect the hosts. Respect others. Have fun. As the hosts we reserve the right to make the final call in any situation. We vow to be as fair and kind as possible. This is, at the end of the day, just a game, however, and we trust that you will all be adults as you play.
Can only think that RESPECT or lack of Diary Rooms is what would have been the reason for being removed? Don't know though. I guess we might get a glimpse when the game is over. All I know is that I wouldn't have been removed if I was still in the game at this time. Also another sore subject. Johnny not voting?! Come on man, have a fuckin' boot list!!! You're not an amateur. Piss me off! Here goes it, another strike. |

When looking at this HoH, it made me think of Sequence! Nice!

Mike, I can assure you that I have the highest respect for everyone who was a part of this game and my diary room entries are fairly well maintained. You'll find out what happened soon enough. Also, if you really wanted to play, you should have taken yourself off the block.  |

Haha, I figured as much Bradley, your a stand up guy, which just surprised as much to find out that you were removed. Also you do have a point, I could have taken myself off the block. Actually something that would have been better would have probably been to save Sean, which I essentially did by not saving myself, and hope that people would save me for doing a stand up thing such as keeping Sean. Either way I figured I was loosing an ally. If I save myself Lindsay was going up, and if I save Sean it would have still probably been Lindsay. One of which way, I, Lindsay, or Sean were leaving that week. Which in essence is the game. We can't all stick around forever I guess!  Haha. Welcome to the prejury lounge by the way. Are you going to still be on the site a bit watching what goes down? |

Penn.... Just noticed the typo under the description for the "Jury House". Band together and develop and* evil plan to oust the final two. Or just get over it and accept that you aren't the best.

Karma is a bitch, Bradley what did you do? I mean you know if your alliance kept me in the house you probably wouldn't be here |

My reason for evicting you was valid.. especially since I just saw that you would have put me up had you stayed. No worries though I had a blast chatting with you. |

The only person I told Drew to put up was Lindsay. You were never part of our talks because I genuinely trusted you.

Hey Brit. With Kate being removed due to strikes, she also loses her jury spot, which means you're next in line! Please let me know that you're still here and interested. Otherwise, the spot would go to Mike. |
