Sequestered Jury - an Advantage or a Disadvantage?

I have always been a fan of sequester for this one very reason...Dani from Season 3. She 100% deserved to win, but the people who were voted out were so bitter about her DR sessions. Had they not seen those, she stood a much better chance of winning!

If anything, I like the idea of having the sequester house being able to see the feeds...it would be interesting to see how that would effect the game! People like Libra, who were voted out so long ago, when the house was SO...

Well does it make a difference, if you look at all of the recent seasons, the winners would have been shit no matter who won in the final two.

I never thought Damnielle would have won if the BB3 jury was sequestered. It wouldn't have been such a blowout if they were (she would have gotten a few other votes, such as Da Debbil's), but a lot of the people just liked Lisa better, and that nothing to do with Damnielle's DR sessions. It's not like Damnielle was Meryl Streep, successfully convincing everyone that she was their best friend. She was almost as bitchy in the rest of the house as she was in the DR.

As...

Wouldn't work. You'd get some strategic mastermind evicted, then that person would stay in the house and freakin campaign to the remaining houseguests in favor of other individuals. You'd probably end up with a F2 who did absolutely nothing strategically--they...

If anything, they should just be able to watch the feeds. NO show because that would let them see confessionals, which would mean everyone would play nice in the Diary Room which would be incredibly boring.

However, I think the sequester system is fine the way it is.

feeds@yuku.com (BobBob77) — Tue, 02 Sep 2008 15:26:47 GMT

I think that they should still be sequestered, but given the ability to watch the feeds and the show, and nothing else. No fan opinions, no websites, still no contact with the world, but they could still watch what is going on in the house and see what game moves people are making.

What about sequestering the houseguests DURING the game? Meaning they have to live together. That would be something different.

Also, some of you mentioned the evicted houseguests should not be sequestered, thus be able to watch the show and feeds from home so the game is more open. Well, what about if they let the contestants duriing the game watch the CBS show and feeds while playing. It would make the game more open.

Thoughts?

Exactly! Even just for one season as a twist then go back to sequestering.

I'm not real sure what would be the best solution. With the sequestering, the jury probably doesn't get the whole picture, and those in sequester obviously have their own biases and prejudices, so the real reasoning behind a move may be clouded by the fact that the jury member can't stand the F2 player, instead of that player really strategically playing the game. On the other hand, it does keep the game more real if jury members can't see what happens behind closed doors...

I think that a sequestered jury is the best thing ONLY so that the DRs stay real. I don't feel like they need to totally seclude the sequestered houseguests to the point where they can't even be asked most questions during the interviewing process. It's really, really annoying.

I'd be curious to see how things would work if they surprised the HGs next summer with no sequester.

Dani lost her season when she got rid of Amy. Lisa had 5 fucking friends on the Jury. As for Will I don't think America swayed the Jury, Will had three members of Chilltown on the Jury and those were the people who voted for him to win, the six other people split 50/50 with Cheryl/Kent/Monica voting Will and Aut/Hardy/Bunky voting Nicole.

I'm still torn. On one hand, I get that winning over the jury is sort of like the final task in the Big Brother game. On the other hand, for the jurors to decide which of the two houseguests truly deserve half a million dollars, shouldnt they get more than just competitions and ceremony footage and a couple of questions answered? It seems only fair that they be allowed to base their judgment on the whole picture. And then I go back to seeing the challenge in winning over the jury and...

The best argument for sequester - the perception that DRs could cost someone the game could have a chilling effect and inhibit honest and entertaining DRs. But the possibility of AP has the some potential effect.

I also think sequester allows someone like Maggie, Will, or Erik inordinate influence on others, just as they had in the house. I bet Janelle wins BB6 if she made F2 and there is no sequester (James and April come around), but probably not otherwise.
