'Big Brother': the game changes
Tuesday night on Big Brother, the big news was Matt and Natalie winning the veto, and also that a twist was in the air. The houseguests learned that when they heard an alarm, they were to gather in the living room and wait for more information.
Shelia and Adam were put on the block in place of Matt and Natalie, going against Ryan and Allison.
It was pretty obvious tonight that Ryan and Allison were out, since everyone had turned against Allison. And indeed, they were evicted. But when they tried to leave, the door was locked, and the alarm went off.
Then it was time for the big twist. The players are now playing as individuals, and only one of the members of the evicted couple would actually be leaving.
Funniest thing? When the alarm went off, Allison went crazy, thinking she was saved in the game. But as host Julie Chen explained the deal -- that the houseguests would immediately cast individual votes for either Allison or Ryan, and one would be out right then -- you could see it dawn on Allison that she was still going to be out. This came to pass pretty easily, as it was a 6-0 vote.
It was Ryan's lucky day, since he finally got separated from his partner who everyone hated and then he won the first individual HOH competition.
Before the show ended, though, Julie told the audience about one more twist. Viewers can vote on which of the evicted houseguests gets to come back in the house, and that person will let back in next Wednesday.
I don't really want to see any of the people back in -- that'll just make the show longer! But I'm glad no one will be stuck with a partner they don't want anymore because all that whining was getting old.
What do you think about the twists?

Where's Dr. Will when you need him? Jeez, what a bunch of uninteresting and annoying houseguests we have to suffer through.
Ryan's a bit of a lump, but at least he isn't some haughty lecturer (Joshua, who must be a blood relative of Dustin from last season), misogynistic (Matt), or psycho (Natalie), so I guess I'll pull for him.
Then can't put Jen back in because that would give Ryan and Jen a leg up on everyone else, so I'm thinking it's Parker. He seemed relatively normal in the 30 minutes that he had on the show.

It was so annoying how Allison was freaking out when she thought she was saved and hilarious seeing how bitter she was when she got booted off two minutes later.

I would like to see alex back in the house. I liked him but hated amanda, and i think he got voted out because of her which isn't fair at all since it's supposed to be an individual game anyway. I'm sooo glad they changed it because the couples thing was ridiculous and sucked!

I was disappointed in the twist because like you, I was counting on the double-time eliminations that would end this season in half the time. Now with the returning houseguest, they're going in reverse.
