I like it but it's nothing like Big Brother. I'm currently in the final 3!
There are 3 nominees, veto can pretty much be used like an idol. No one knows which nominee got vetoed until the eviction results are revealed. So if Aaryn GM and Candice were nommed and Helen vetoed Candice but the whole house voted out Candice except Helen & Candice, then the other nominee goes home with 2 votes. Just like an idol on Survivor.
Also nominees can vote but it doesn't make much of a difference.
I like & don't like this part:
Whenever the HOH also wins veto (meaning you can't win both at one time, you get HOH and veto is randomized)/Whenever the person that was supposed to win HOH the next round gets evicted, then the winner of the competition is completely randomized between the entire cast. About 35% of the comp winners in my game were random winners. I like this because comp whores can't dominate the game especially if they have a premade. One random comp win can flip the game on its head, however it is annoying when you get 2nd place in HOH or Veto and it's given to someone who didn't even compete.
Another part I don't like:
Like Crookies, if you get nominated by the previous HOH then you're ineligible to win the following HOH. With 3 nominees it's hard not to get nominated as the cast dwindles. No matter how hard you try to win competitions while being the underdog of the game fighting against a big alliance, if they keep nominating you then you will never be able to win an HOH to take them out. Veto is your only hope to survive. In my game I was going to finally win an HOH and turn things around but then I got nominated so my HOH was cancelled. It was frustrating because I earned that win after getting 2nd place in HOH multiple times. For the rest of the game I was nominated so I could never win an HOH :l.
Overall:
Frookies is more realistic. But 24/7 is a bit more fun. The randomness and the weird formats develops new strategies that can evolve through out the game. Such as lying to the cast about who you vetoed, splitting votes, etc. I would much rather play 24/7 if there was an active cast that didn't know each other. But luck is a big factor and you can go from the top to the bottom in 1 round all because someone who didn't even try to compete ended up winning and sent you packing.
p.s. If there is a tie for HOH/Veto then the last person to compete wins. This part is dumb, to me it should be randomized between the two top scores.
piddu There's 13 virtual days aka rounds, and pretty much after day 6 the same 2 people traded HOH's but one got 5th cause he for whatever reason didn't make a 3rd nomination so that was randomized and he got put up and we voted him out LOL.
But yeah if you're in minority it sucks so bad. You have to pray that the HOH winner gets evicted so the HOH goes to some random person that you can convince not to put up you and your allies the next round so you can finally get a shot to win.
