Big Brother 6 – Morphomatic Creates Ivette’s Perfect Woman



It’s starting to look like all the secrets in the Summer of Secrets have been revealed, and Big Brother 6 is becoming very predictable.  “The Friendship” huddle around and talk bad about Janelle Pierzina and Howie Gordon.  Howie practices with his light saber.  Head of household Ivette Corredero nominates Howie and Janelle for eviction.

BEAU BEASLEY IS THE 10TH PERSON EVICTED FROM "BIG BROTHER 6"
Released by CBS


BEAU BEASLEY IS THE 10TH PERSON EVICTED FROM "BIG BROTHER 6"

Ivette Wins Head Of Household And Nominates House Rivals Janelle and Howie For Eviction

Janelle Wins HOH And Removes Herself From The Chopping Block!

LOS ANGELES -- It was a chaotic weekend in the BIG BROTHER 6 house and tensions between the battling alliances were rising. On Saturday, the last remaining partnership in the house was finally broken, and by a unanimous vote, Beau Beasley, the 25-year-old personal shopper from Pembroke Pines, Fla., was evicted from the Big Brother 6 house.

Following his eviction, Beau was interviewed by host Julie Chen about his experience in the house. He joins Jennifer, Rachel and James as the fourth jury member.

The veto challenge on Saturday was a high stakes game of craps hosted by the infamous Holly King from "Big Brother 5." Like many times this season, the challenge came down to a tiebreaker, and in this case, three different tiebreakers. In the end, however, Maggie won the Power of Veto, but not without angst. After struggling with strategy versus ethics, she let her morals and commitment to April make her decision and chose not to use the veto; hence sending Beau home.

After Beau's departure, his partner Ivette, went on to win the Head of Household competition and set a plan motion to vote out Janelle or Howie, the very people behind Beau's eviction.

Janelle won last night's second veto challenge and took herself off the chopping block. Her fellow houseguests were less than thrilled, but Janelle was happy that she forced Ivette to nominate someone from her alliance, April, as her replacement. Either Howie or April will be evicted from the BIG BROTHER 6 house on Thursday's live broadcast.

With only two weeks left in the game, BIG BROTHER 6 is down to its final five players, Janelle, Howie, Ivette, April and Maggie. It will be up to seven sequestered houseguests to determine who will receive the grand prize of $500,000 on the live finale broadcast on Tuesday, September 20.

For more information about the aftermath of Beau's eviction, log on to www.cbs.com and watch him on "Housecalls: The Big Brother Talk Show with Marcellas and Gretchen."

BIG BROTHER 6 is broadcast each week on Tuesdays (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT), Thursdays (8:00-9:00 PM, live ET/delayed PT) and Saturdays (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT). The Thursday broadcast, hosted by Julie Chen, features the live eviction of one of the houseguests.

Winning Scenarios for the Final Four  Big Brother
by kris
Sep 7th, 2005


 
In the shower this morning I was thinking about potential winning scenarios for Big Brother 6's Final Four (I'm assuming Howie leaves the house on Thursday). I'm probably putting way too much thought into this, but hey, it's a break from thinking about Hurricane Katrina. Anyway, here's my take on each player's best move to get the $500,000 prize.

April

April's problem is that she's perceived as a weak player. To win, she not only has to count on having made friends, she also needs to have gained their respect. Even against Janelle, April faces the problem of having an Ivette or Beau decide that, in the end, Janelle deserves to win for playing balls to the wall the entire time. So, I guess what I'm saying is that I don't think that April can win respect, so her best hope is to play the "I was the nicer person" card against Ivette.

I figure there's no way April can beat Maggie. Even if Maggie totally betrays Ivette, I still think that Janelle, Howie, Rachel and James would vote for her out of respect for her gameplay over April. I'm not sure that any of them like Maggie, but none of them think much of April as a player. If people have to lose, they want to feel like they lost to somebody good, you know.

So, that leads me to the Ivette option. Unfortunately for April, it's hard to come up with a scenario where she ends up in the final two with Ivette. If the final three are Ivette, April & Maggie, both Ivette and April would choose Maggie and Maggie would just be praying to not win the final HOH so she doesn't tick someone off. The only way I can see it happening is like this: April wins the next HOH and nominates Ivette & Janelle. Janelle wins the veto, takes herself off the block and then nominates Maggie in her place. At this point, Janelle is the only vote and she votes to evict Maggie. Final three: Ivette, April & Janelle. But then, Ivette and/or April would have to choose to take each other to the final two over taking Janelle and getting (what they assume would be) an easy win. I don't think that's going to happen. If April did choose Ivette, I think she'd get votes from Janelle, Howie, Rachel and Jennifer. That'd be enough to win if she actually tries it.

Wow. I think I've decided that there's no way April can win if she does what I think she'll do. Wouldn't she be surprised to hear that, especially given how she so "helpfully" informed Janelle that there was no way she'd win and so she should basically just give up.

Ivette

Ivette's biggest hurdle is the fact that she can't compete in the next HOH competition, which almost assures that she'll be on the block. And, without a veto, she'll probably get voted off. If, however, she can survive, her best hope is against Janelle. In fact, for Ivette, if she's in the final three with Janelle, she should be praying that Janelle wins HOH and chooses her. Against Janelle, I'd expect Ivette to get votes from April, Beau, Jennifer, Maggie and probably James and win in a wipeout.

But how exactly could that happen. Here's the only way I can see it happening: Janelle wins HOH and nominates Maggie & Ivette. Ivette wins the veto, takes herself off and then chooses to evict April. Janelle wins HOH again and chooses to take Ivette over Maggie. Ivette wins.

Janelle

While conventional wisdom (and the rest of the players in the house) say that Janelle can't win, I see two ways for her to prevail. First, one of the Friendship could start getting greedy and "betray" their alliance and go for an easy win by taking Janelle to the Final Two. The problem with this is that a player like James would probably respect that move and Janelle still wouldn't win. So, therefore, her best bet is to position herself as the best player in the game, whether you like her or not. To do this, she needs to go up against April. Can she make this happen? You betcha. Here's how:

Janelle needs to win either HOH or the veto in the next round. If she wins HOH she should nominate Maggie & Ivette and pray that Ivette doesn't win the veto (if she did, she'd get rid of April). If she wins the veto, she should get rid of either Maggie or Ivette. It doesn't really matter who. Then, she really needs to win that last HOH. If it's Janey and April, you know Janey's getting Howie, Rachel and James. But, I also think that Beau & Ivette would be up for grabs. Neither of those two like April and I think they'd just hate to admit that they were beaten by someone so ineffectual. Janelle would only need one of them to break from the sheep for a victory.

Maggie

Maggie has the best chance to win, as long as she doesn't have to make any decisions or choices between now and the finish. If it comes down to the three of them, both Ivette and April will take her to the finals and she'd beat both of them in front of the jury. She'd also beat Janelle. This is the crucial week for Maggie. She's got to avoid eviction (which should be easy because the only scenario in which she'd leave is if April won HOH and Janelle won the veto) and avoid having to choose between evicting April & Ivette. If she can get past these hurdles, the game is hers.

My current odds of winning:

Maggie: 2-1
Ivette: 5-1
Janelle: 25-1
April: 50-1

Ivette's HoH blog  }bH{



hey big brother fans....finally i got hoh!!! its been fabulous. i've been waiting so long to make a move in this game and guarantee my safety that, this victory couldn't have come at a better time. oh wait, maybe it could have...last week when my beau was still here. losing beau was a very big and sad loss. i miss him like crazy. however, we spoke before his eviction and we are content with our many accomplishments. specially being the last pair standing. so about my hoh room...i am so blessed to have a wonderful girlfriend and family back at home. my maggie, "tush", sent me her rosary and my bunny from home and my "worm" (mom), sent me a little pillow that i once gave her which reads "i love you, mom." i also got my favorite, orangina, frosted flakes, jello, chapstick, floss, and a lot of other goodies. however, the most important gift of all...my pictures of my tush and my mom. i miss them like you guys can't imagine. enough about that...about the week...there hasn't been much. the girl scout troop is still strong, jani and her beefcake howie will no longer be together. i'm sorry to the fans who love them, but i can't break my promise to the girls.

i'm sure a lot of you probably don't agree with the way i'm playing the game, however, i feel as if i play it with my original intentions of honesty and get to the end...then the game can be played without backstabbing and deceit. at this point if i did take up janelle and howies' offer of teaming up with them...i would have no votes at the end. its better for me to stay true to myself and take the honest gamble. this game has taught me alot about the important things in life, morals, odds, weakness, strengths, being an underdog, and diversity amongst other things. i'm not sure if i'll be so blessed to be in the final two, but i have to say that i've been blessed to make it this far. yet beyond this game, i was blessed even before coming here, and thats everything i left back at home to take part in this experience. i think i'm too passionate, sensitive, honest, and outspoken for this game. would i change who i am? not for "a hot second." i hope some of you can understand where i'm coming from and realize that this is "just" a game. some are willing to do anything for the game while others are not. you share with us a sliver of what truly goes on in this chaotic house. remember this is a show. the game completely changed for me when eric left and till this day my strength is for him. i made a promise to myself that i wanted to see everyone leave who took part in his eviction, and up to now...there's only one left.

so with that said...none of it probably makes any sense...but i don't even make sense to myself anymore...for my tush...i love you more than words can ever describe. i think about you every second of the day and can't wait to look into your beautiful eyes. know that you are it for me and i'm still fallen...plus 9...thank you for waiting and believing in me. happy anniversary. for my family...what would i be without you guys. you are all my inspiration and reason for being in this craziness. i think about you always and my hoh win was for all of you. mami...i love you soooooooo much. thank you for making me the woman i am today. papi, steven, and frankie...you are my men and strength in this game. thank you for teaching me not to be a coward and for always loving me no matter what. i hope you guys are proud of me. may god bless us....i miss u like crazy....capi and all the guys at station 1...we love u all!... and to all the fans....THANK YOU....for everything!

all my love, ivette.

JUST READ THIS ON JOKER IT WAS INTERESTING WANTED TO SHARE

I just can't believe that the F'Ship members behave as badly in "real life" as they do on BB. I recently completed a course in social psychology and remembered a section we studied on "Group Think" and I believe that this may be the guiding force behind the F'Ship. Here are the 8 main symptoms of Group Think:

Illusion of Invulnerability: Members ignore obvious danger, take extreme risk, and are overly optimistic.

Collective Rationalization: Members discredit and explain away warning contrary to group thinking.

Illusion of Morality: Members believe their decisions are morally correct, ignoring the ethical consequences of their decisions.

Excessive Stereotyping:The group constructs negative sterotypes of rivals outside the group.

Pressure for Conformity: Members pressure any in the group who express arguments against the group's stereotypes, illusions, or commitments, viewing such opposition as disloyalty.

Self-Censorship: Members withhold their dissenting views and counter-arguments.

Illusion of Unanimity: Members perceive falsely that everyone agrees with the group's decision; silence is seen as consent.

Mindguards: Some members appoint themselves to the role of protecting the group from adverse information that might threaten group complacency.

Gruesome twosome in 'Big Brother' finale

By JOHN POWELL -- JAM! Showbiz

It's a depressing déjà vu for 'Big Brother'. In a repeat of the fourth season that saw despised HouseGuests Jun Song and Alison Irwin reach the finals, 'Big Brother 6' is on its way to another gloomy finish.

On Friday night's live eviction telecast, Disciple Alliance members Maggie Ausburn, the 27-year-old emergency room nurse from Las Vegas and Ivette Corredero, the 25-year-old waitress from Miami, became the finalists when Ivette won the last Head of HouseHold Competition and evicted the last Outcasts Alliance member Janelle Pierzina, the 25-year-old cocktail waitress from Miami Beach.

Ivette defeated Janelle in the second tiebreaker round of a complete-the-sentence challenge with video featuring members from the 'Big Brother 6' jury.

"You know what's coming," Ivette said to Janelle as she cast her vote for eviction. "Aside from being a beautiful woman, you are an amazing, amazing player and have given me a total run for my money. I have to evict you Janelle because I have a promise." Ivette's compassionate words on the live broadcast were in stark contrast to the persistent name-calling and bashing of Janelle that the Disciples had participated in throughout the entire season.

With Ivette and Maggie detested for their gossiping, trash-talking and scheming ways, disappointed die-hard fans, many of whom watched the shenanigans all season long on the 24/7 Internet feeds from the 'Big Brother' house, were quick to pull the plug on the season.

"Why don't they just change the name of the show to 'The Biggest A-----e", wrote 'mthebrat' on the popular Joker's Updates site which was flooded with threats of feed subscription cancellations and sign-offs for the season immediately after the airing of Friday night's episode.
 

"I will now bow out and leave these pathetic Nerd Herders to shine in their own glory because as soon as they get out in the real world and realize how the majority of people found them to be tacky, dirty and very small-minded people, the shine will be no more. They can then take their winnings and enjoy it. It's all that they will get," wrote 'KataGarbo' on the same site.

Some applauded Ivette for keeping her promise to Maggie despite the fact that Maggie is surely more popular with the 'Big Brother 6' jury. Some called Ivette's decision the dumbest move in the history of the reality show since Ivette most probably had the votes to win 'Big Brother 6' if she had selected Janelle as the majority of the jury members are from the Disciples Alliance.

"I knew if Ivette won she would probably evict me because she has made promises to her friends in the house. I knew she would evict me. I am not surprised," Janelle told host Julie Chen on the Couch of Shame.

Thinking for sure she would be bounced early on in the game, Janelle was surprised she had made it so far.

"What do you make of the fact that Ivette chose Maggie to make it to the final two with her," Chen asked Janelle.

"It was a poor decision, I believe. She cannot beat Maggie. I think Maggie will win the money," said Janelle stating also that Ivette didn't want to break her promise and picked friendship over money. Janelle admitted that Ivette's decision to do so might sway her jury vote.

The season finale of 'Big Brother 6' will air next Tuesday night at 9:00 p.m. EDT on CBS. At that time, the 'Big Brother 6' jury will vote on whom the grand prize will be awarded to. The winner will take home $500,000 U.S. The second place finisher will score $50,000 U.S.
