Week 4: Power of Veto Competition

[Bianca Benigno]

Only the following housemates may compete.




This competition is called A Selfless Act.

In this competition, you'll be asked to sacrifice privileges in order to advance. There are five questions. For each question, the person who answers with the LOWEST number will be eliminated. However, only the housemate (or housemates, in the event of a tie) with the HIGHEST number will actually have to go through with the punishment.

So, for example, if the question was, "How many days are you willing to go without speaking?" [0-10] (0-10 means the lowest possible answer is 0, while the highest is 10).

And the housemates answered:
Brigitte: 3
Nikki: 1
Sophie: 6
Rachel: 8
Nikki would be eliminated, and Rachel would not be allowed to speak for eight days.

Here are the questions:

1. How many posts of SPAM are you willing to be required to make in your Diary Room each week in order to avoid a penalty nomination? [0-500]
2. How many weeks are you willing to automatically be a Have Not? [0-6]
3. How many weeks are you willing to give up your eviction vote? [0-5]
4. How many weeks are you willing to sit out of the PoV Competition? [0-5]
5. How many weeks are you willing to sit out of the HoH Competition? [0-5]

Tie-Breaker: How many days are you willing to be forbidden to speak to your other housemates, both on the forum and AIM. (If you are reported for breaking this rule, you will receive a penalty nomination and/or penalty vote). [0-10]

Oh, and one more thing... Have Nots, don't think I forgot you! Billi, Imogen, and Kaysar, as the Have Nots, you will have to answer the following question as well. If you answer no to this question, you will automatically be eliminated from the competition. If you answer yes, you WILL have to face this penalty regardless of what the others do or how far you last in the competition.

Are you willing to have one penalty vote against you the next time you are a post-veto nominee?

You have 24 hours to do this in your Diary Room. Good luck!

Ok dino, well i appreciate the sentiment in your speech, but i would just like to point out the fact that I did truly want to win POV this week, however by not giving up my eviction vote, and the ability to compete in POV's and HOH's to the end of the game does not indicate the amount i actually want to stay in the game, in fact the opposite is true.

I dont know about most of you but the reason i decided to play this game was because I wanted to compete, i enjoy playing in Veto's, HOH's and getting the opportunity to vote people out of the game. By giving all of that up for essentially one week's safety is ridiculous, i chose not to go "all out" in the veto competition because if i had done that, then i would have essentially been an "inactive active" the rest of the way out and thats not what i signed up for.

So if you guys decide its in your best interest to vote me out, then thats your prerogative, but i refuse to let myself be carried or disposed of in this game just to gain one week's safety. I know everyone has said this veto comp was about "who wants to stay the most" but in my opinion, if anyone were to max out all the categories in this veto, it would show to me that someone had just given up.

Congrats again to Dino, i'm sorry you lost your eviction votes, and im glad noone else had to lose anything else because playing in this game is too fun to spend it sitting on the sidelines for weeks to come.
