Israel ESC BIG BROTHER 2019 ~ SEMI-FINAL 2 ~ ddl. 11th April, 21:59 CEST ~ POST FOR HEAD OF HOUSEHOLD WINNING!!!!!

[Jukica]

(will be properly updated tomorrow or during the weekend)

Hey to everyone and welcome to one of the most popular forum games! I'm back once again as one of ESC Big Brother hosts. If you are playing this game for the first time, please check the rules below!

ESC Big Brother 2019 has two big parts: 2 semi-finals and the big final. Semi-finals are equal to the Eurovision Song Contest 2019 semi-finals with prequalified countries that are voting in that semi-final. While there are no prequalified countries, the big final will consist of 13 songs from every semi-final! The last standing song in the final will be crowned with ESC Big Brother 2019 winner award. Both semi-finals and final include special twists/challenges which are here to make this game more interesting for everyone, so let's hope that we will succeed!

...

1. ESC Big Brother 2019 is back! The game consists of 2 parts: nomination and elimination and both will be very exciting.

2. Head of Household is back! At the beginning of every round, HoHs will be chosen and they will be required to send a list of several songs for nomination. Everything together will give us a list of songs which will be up for eviction. Eliminated songs will be announced after voting.

3. The songs that are nominated and not eliminated in the current round cannot be nominated in the next round!

4. How to become the HoH? Post in the thread and you will be thrown in the hat from where we will draw names. Also, it is enough to post once.

5. All HoH winners will be required to PM 2 members when they're sending their nominations: @Jukica and @Milos-BC (unless defined different). Don't worry about remembering who to private message because we will write everything in PMs we will send to the winners.

6. Everyone will be able to vote in the polls, while only the forum members will be able to become one of the HoHs. There will also be exciting twists which are created to make the game interesting.

7. Mostly each round will be around 3 days long. We will inform you aboutt any changes in round length.

8. The last song standing will be crowned "Big Brother 2019".

1. There is no rule on who you should or should not vote for, but voting for your least favorite could actually hurt some of your favorites at times, so just consider some of these strategic suggestions.

2. You are not required to reveal your votes in the thread (all polls are private), but you are allowed to share your vote and encourage members to vote with you.

3. Check the thread on who people vote for because that could give you an indication who is in danger and who is not (of course that you will never know for sure because the majority of players do not reveal their votes).

4. Base your vote on voting patterns and trends because your favourites can have bigger chances to survive.

Example: You hate Germany’s entry and also dislike the Slovenian song. While you would rather see Germany go, it may be a better idea to vote for Slovenia first if you can see a lot of members want to get rid of it first. If you have a feeling Germany will not get enough votes, you may just be throwing your vote away, so maybe going for a different song until the opportunity arises to get rid of Germany would be the smart thing to do.

5. Get with your friends and buddies and vote in groups to increase your chances to nominate/evict a song.

6. Don’t forget that the HoHs play a big part in this game, so be sure to use them wisely if you have this unique power instead of just throwing it away by nominating something you know won’t go home at this point.

So, to sum up the most important parts, the most vital things here are understanding of the rules and strategy.

1. Same as last year, the Big 5 and host are not safe from the semi-finals. :twisted: This means that Semi-Final 1 will have 22 songs and Semi-Final 2 will have 21 songs.

2. Each semi-final will give us 13 finalists, so we will be down from 41 to 26 participants by the end of semi-finals.

3. While the official board rules still apply here, we are more tolerable here because of usual game discussions.

4. This is not ESC Ranking Game, this game was designed to be strategic where you can either try to keep your favourites in the game or vote strategically. It was also created to be dramatic and bizarre, so you can know what to expect in most of the rounds.

So, before playing this game, please answer to these questions: Do you get mad when people try to find you in Hide And Seek? Do you get angry when someone is beating you in any game? I understand that this game isn’t for everyone and that some people will not be able to stand all the drama and pressure (or your favourites getting eliminated from the game), so please take part in this game only if you are sure that this issue will not cause any problems for you.

The main word in this game is strategy and everything is based on that. The most important thing in this game is to play smart. So, if your favourite is eliminated, SEEK REVENGE :twisted: and play smart, but if you refuse to play strategically and get upset about your favourites being kicked out early in the game, you can blame only yourselves for not playing smart.

Let's kick off Semi-Final 2 as well!

The voting was very interesting as well and it gave us the following nominees:

Azerbaijan 2019: Chingiz - Truth
Moldova 2019: Anna Odobescu - Stay
Netherlands 2019: Duncan Laurence - Arcade
Russia 2019: Sergey Lazarev - Scream

Two of these songs will bite the dust and your votes will be the ones to decide which songs will that be. You have time until March 31, 21:59 CET to cast your vote and eliminate your least favorite entries out of the 4 present on this list.

The new 4 Heads of Household will be decided most likely on Friday evening. The poll is available here:

Let the drama games begin! :twisted:

P.S. Threads for both semi-finals are coming very soon.
