@Oreo Any season before 15 (last year). Good twists have been Coup d'Etat. The holder of the Coup d'Etat has the power to overthrow the HOH nominations. They are also able to name their own replacement nominees. And Pandora's Box usually sets of a frenzy. This one is different every time. It can be good for one and bad for the rest of the house. I have seen evicted players return, players win money and other prizes, visit from a loved one, trip out of the house, Veto's, slop passes. Last year America got to secretly use a favorite player to secretly nominate another house guest. This was great because it gave the underdog a shot at shifting power.
Even if the producers flat out revealed the alliances, do you really think things would be different? The alliances have been made clear and yet everyone evicted has allowed their own fate by going along with things. I'm looking forward to seeing these boys turn on each other and realizing they are #5, 4, 3 in a partnership where they thought they had a final 2. Also, Christine and Victoria stand a good chance of making it to the end. Who would you rather sit next to? A strong player who made moves, or a weak one who is a follower and wont get votes.
The 2 HOH and BotB has been awful. It gave the girls a horrible disadvantage up against huge ripped males Devin, Cody, Caleb, Frankie, Zach, Hayden, Derrick and even Donny. Always being weaker, the girls were chosen in the hopes they would lose so a player could stay HOH even if a female was HOH. I hope they never bring this back.
