It's simple Hybrid Format! Big Brother meets Survivor and maybe a Arena Line thrown in there somewhere. No complicated twists, if any. BW7 proved that you don't need twists to have a stellar game :ph43r: Everyone gets to interact! I'm open to any suggestions of course but I get FINAL say

Truer words have never been spoken !! I loved the simplicity of BW7 and how it let the talented gamers shine. I think the placements speak for themselves. And that F3 is the stuff of every host's dreams. So does this mean no HIIs? |

I'm undecided on idols. I know BG and SS01 love them and I wouldn't mind 1 or 2 to be honest. |

I'm not a fan of HIIs but if you wanted to have one I think there should only be ONE idol, and it should be REALLY, REALLY difficult to find. But I think HIIs are washed out and overdone. Also how will these formats be chosen for each round? Instead of doing BB, Survivor and Arena Line, perhaps you can sort of tweak each of those formats so they're not just a blatant ripoff of other hybrids. I also realize I sound very negative :lol: It's because I've been having writer's block with my sermon I'm supposed to deliver on Sunday and it's sort of stressing me out. |

You don't sound negative to me I'm all for tweaking the formats especially if Blondie plays =O What did you have in mind? Here's what I have!We host a POWER CHALLENGE every round, winner gives another mom secret immunity (kind of like Vertigo 11) then they all vote to eliminate not one but TWO moms, those two moms then face eviction (if it's a BB round) or they duel (if it's an arena around) Winner stays, loser goes home. If it's BB round, obviously they will get the chance to save themselves in a POV comp, if they win (they have the power to choose their own replacement kinda like BW6) That's a neat format I guess? |

I actually really like that idea. Every round they vote for 2 people. Winner of the Power Challenges SECRETLY gives immunity to someone; that person can choose whether or not to share that they have it or not. If it's BB, they're up for eviction. Arena format, duel. Survivor -- revote for the one they all want gone? The problem is this will make each round VERY long...either an added PoV challenge, a duel (which no one has to stick around for I guess besides the challengees), and a re vote....and since it's only 16 players, perhaps you can make each round 2 days instead of one round a day? This can give the people nominated for eviction time to work their shit (like in real BB), an extra day for the challengees in the Arena (challenges can be nonlive this way) and the two people on the chopping block with Survivor can try and save their asses. This could be a totally absurd and horrible idea though. Also, maybe you can have a really fucked up format where things get reversed. The two people with the most votes all of a sudden get power and they each choose 1 by one Arena Line style who they're picking to keep out of the arena. The Power Challenge winner and secret immunity holder will be taken out of the equation because they're immune (their immunities will have to be announced then), and the last 2 people picked must duel? |

I love your idea of the secret immune mom giving it to one the (let's call them bottom goddesses) if she does, the other mom will automatically go home. That adds another interesting layer <3 The Survivor format is EVERY round (1 immune + voting for two people) BB and Arena however will be at random. I doubt the rounds will be THAT long. maybe an hour or two each round (challenges + eliminations + possible duel/veto) idk I think we should be fine w/ time. As long as we save all the harder/lengthy challenges for the end game. That last suggestion is really warped, the only way we can get away with that is if we're upfront about it.

Ohh, I didn't suggest the secret immune mom giving it to the bottom moms, but rather just choosing whether or not she wanted to share that she WAS immune so as not to fuck up voting...but if you wanted to have her have the option of giving it away, I suppose that could throw another wrench into the mix! We just can't have this get too complicated though or else blah. Honestly I think it'd be VERY interesting to see what the two nominees can pull off if they had an extra day to try and save themselves vs 20 min to save themselves, you know? Maybe only make BB 2 days? And of course you'd have to be upfront with ALL your formats. I think you should only have 1 round of that though, maybe 2. Like a bad luck round or something. How are these rounds being decided? |

Nevermind, the "second" immunity only works for the survivor portion of the round. Once it's Duel/BB time, immunity is gone (unless veto winner (must be nominee) tries to nominate someone immune, since it's a "secret" immunity, then immunity sticks) I could do that but I promised a few ppl the game will end before June so idk. I like that bad luck round idea Round 1 will be selected by "first to post an image" kinda like in BW4 and then we'll go from there, difference being the eliminated player chooses the next "TV IMAGE" on her way out! |

Cool. Maybe for BB, the Power Holder can secretly give someone 2 votes they can use? Those two votes can be used on the same person or on 2 different people? And Secret Immunity can still work with the Duel round...since it's the 2 highest vote getters who go into the Duel. |

Girl no, she's already giving some immunity :lol: Of course which if that happens, automatic elimination for non immunity winner! Also 16 players so 1 vote per player (highest 2 vote getters duel or get nominated) |

I might have misinterpreted how the two Duelers get thrown into the Arena? It's not the two highest vote getters who get thrown into the Arena? In that case, the Power Holder can still give someone secret immunity... For BB, that's why she gives someone 2 votes to use instead of 1, because HoH is essentially giving immunity to everyone but 2 people. |

Two highest voters > DUEL OR FACE EVICTION! (someone will always have secret immunity) I can do that or have POWER MOM null a vote every round

Yeah, I was going to suggest nullifying a vote possibly too but since the Power Moms usually give out something good (secret immunity) I was trying to stay consistent, where they give something good away (an extra vote) versus doing something mean (nullifying a vote). |

Okay, I may be misunderstanding something, but I'm not seeing a difference between BB and Survivor format. Power winner flips the card to get a format, everyone votes for two people. In a BB round, both of those two people are up for eviction, everyone else votes for who they want gone. In a Survivor rounds, both of those two people are up for eviction, everyone else votes for who they want gone. So, what's the difference? Or what am I misunderstanding? |

Every round is a SURVIVOR round (they go to tribal after the challenge) the two highest vote getters either duel (if it's arena) or face evictions (if it's BB) so we're combining survivor w/ BB or Arena every round. Everyone votes for 1 player, not two! Except for Power winner (she gets 2 votes) |

The two highest vote getters get power and start a pick'em a'la Arena Line and the last 2 picked are either up for eviction or Duel. The Power winner though will also be safe. |

ikr. But there needs to be a plan if one or both of the two highest vote getters aren't there for that round If one isn't there then I think the other one just starts the pick'em (with both still being safe though) and if both aren't there then fuck them, they don't deserve the Bad Luck Round saving them.

I brought this up with the good Reverend and for the bad luck round, other ideas to consider: Simply give immunity to those two (as well as power winner), and have the power winner as line leader. That could possibly be a fallback if both of the idiots aren't online, since the power winner obviously would be. If the two of them are picking, I'm not sure I understand the logistics of this. One person would pick someone to be in line, but then does the other vote-getter pick someone or do you just work that line? What happens if it's a tie for 2nd most voters though? Having things flip around, you'd have 4 people immune from the line ceremony? |

I think that the way the Bad Luck pick-em will work is that both people who had the most votes start their own line, and the person at the bottom of each line become the new bottom two and compete in a duel. Tie votes do bring up a good point, because there likely will be many. Revotes would make every round ridiculously long (unless there was like a 5 minute window for the revote). Maybe go to past votes? |

I'm definitely going for past votes if they tie (which really made BW7 interesting (Miranda's elimination especially) I also really like Lucille's idea of having the bottom two do separate pickems, last player standing from each duke it out in a duel (the bad luck round will be arena format) Also if there's ever a situation when we have a tie (we'll go to past votes first but if not, power winner will just decide who has to fight for their life) I think we have our Hybrid all set up, I will combine all of our ideas into one. Thank you all so much

Paul mentioned this to me last night which I think is worth bringing up... Should the Bad Luck Round format expire at a certain point in the game? Because it'd be kind of fucked up for it to happen in the F4 (if its format is never drawn until then). Also, are you doing 2 votes the entire season? Because if that's the case, and if the Bad Luck Round doesn't expire, it deems automatic elimination at F4 for the non Power Winner/Highest Vote Getters.. |

We can do like BW4 and have like 6 cards pre merge (one of them being Bad Luck) to insure that it's used sooner rather than later. 2 votes entire season, secret immunity will expire somewhere around the F7 or so to make things less complicated. |

what about Power Winner's choice? Perhaps the Bad Luck round can expire itself into PW Choice after a certain period? Or is this too complex? |

If you want Bad Luck and Secret Immunity to expire at, say, F7, why not have 9 Power Cards. People have come to expect Cards in hybrids anyway, but the difference in this one is that there are two or three Bad Luck cards, and the other six or seven give the Power Winner a secret power to have or bestow. So 9 cards.... 2 cards = Bad Luck Rounds 2 cards = Power Winner nullifies one player's votes 2 cards = Power Winner doubles one player's votes 3 cards = Power Winner grants secret immunity The only way to really work, it, though, would have the Power Winner be cut off of PMs for the voting period, or else he could inform people that it was a Bad Luck round, or whatever. I think it's a cool way to do it, but we'd have to work out the kinks. |
