OMG I hope not... how cheezy if that is what it is, a KFC tie-in.

What's the Twist?
- Thread starter the Theorist
- Start date
When sitting down and planning for this years series, I doubt Alex M and the other producers would have decided to do a twist because it ties in with KFC's twister meal. They would have come up with a big twist for this years series and now that that is the theme of the season they will tie it in with KFC's twister. I guess the point I am trying to make is the producers did not decide to make the theme of the series a big twist because they thought it would be a good marketing duo with KFC' twister, they would have decided to do the twist as opposed to a few other plans they had come up with and it just so happens that KFC have a twister meal that Channel 9 and KFC will no doubt use for advertisements.
On second thoughts, what if the twist does tie in with the twister? Something like the starburst gold ticket wild card housemate in 2007 but instead of buying star burst to get a golden ticket and go in the running to win a place in the house, you buy a twister from KFC. If that is the "big" twist I would lose all faith in Alex M
You guys do remember that the whole KFC/BB Twister/twist thing was already an actual thing between 2004-2007, right?
Whatever this twist is though it'll have nothing to do with KFC or a promotional outlet, I'm sure.

Oh yep, I remember, that's why I was thinking its got to do with KFC again. But I'm really hoping I am wrong

I presumed he did but I was not aware it was such an obvious answer. Goon is a very reliable source and he knows basically everything but I thought at times he has been speculating rather than knowing and I was just putting the question out there. Put the brakes on TraLa.
insider, the way you expressed that kinda made it look like you were asking what the twist was 
in which case I wouldn't blame Goon for withholding such info. Network Execs and Producers get very cagey and trigger-happy when a big selling point is revealed early...

I actually would rather wait until launch night to find out the twist I was just genuinely curious to see if he knows what it is or not.insider, the way you expressed that kinda made it look like you were asking what the twist was

I know what you mean, we are all curious.
I really really REALLY hope it has nothing to do with children. A live birth in the house? *yack*
I am so looking forward to it starting. I have missed this forum!

I agree.
Call me a prude but there is no place for live child birth on TV (unless you are a Kardashian or the OctoMom).
The only thing that could ever be more offensive than Carlos taking a piss in the backyard would be a dairy room birth scene with a vagina and a baby half hanging out of it.
I am SO looking forward to spending more time upstairs in the forum.
I missed your fat face!

Birth in a BB house has been done... Nothing was really shown and the mother left a few days after the birth because she needed more time with her child... It really wasn't that exciting and I'm sure it put the final nail in the coffin for BB Netherlands...

They're really going on about this "Unlucky 13" thing, so that will probably become the "theme" of this years twist, just as last year it was "secrets".
I am guessing the series is going to start with 13 housemates, with 3 intruders entering as the series progresses to make a standard cast of 16 housemates.
It could be that the 13th housemate to enter immediately gains "unlucky" status, and has to take on some unfortunate role. I would hope if this is the case it isn't something underwhelming like a "mole" or an "insider". You could still do something like this with a standard cast of 14 housemates though. This would be incredibly underwhelming. I really hope it's not just something like this.
The "Unlucky 13" could also refer to the housemates as a whole. We would get a cast of 13 starter housemates, and the theme of the show then becomes based on luck. I don't know what that could be about, but to me it suggests a central notion of "chance". All the decisions come down to luck and chance - who gets their suitcases is decided by chance, who gets nominated for the first eviction is put to random chance, individual diets of housemates, or even entire food shopping budgets, who is given access to certain parts of the house, etc. I do hope it's something a bit more unexpected and exciting than that though.
