There's been a lot of great moments in URTV. But there's also been a lot of shameful ones as well. In this thread, we shall list them for our own amusement.
We're trying to have fun with this, so try to take it tongue-in-cheek if you're listed in these.
URTV 1
1. Kaysar voting out Scott & Joe
- Kaysar joined the game with Scott & Joe, having an immediate alliance with them while the rest of the house was jocking for position. Joe & Scott were both on the block in the early weeks and rather than trying to save his alliance, Kaysar decided to campaign for them to leave in a method of reverse psychology. Ironically enough, he was pretty much the deciding vote with both votes. Kaysar would see find himself evicted just a week after Joe.
2. Will putting Kaysar up instead of Holly
In what could have served as an oppurtunity to guarentee Jase's exit by putting up the super-sweet and well liked Holly, Will decided to put Kaysar up on the block - who had a reputation of pissing people off and having a grumpy attitude that many were beginning to get sick of. In by far the biggest blindside of the game, Jase ended up staying Kaysar got the ka-boosh.
3. Kaysar nominating himself
When Will was targeting Jase, the biggest target in the game, he needed a pawn to go after him once Janelle was saved with the veto by Jessica. Rather than allowing Will to put Holly up as originally intended, Kaysar nearly begged to be put up next to Jase and asked for a spot as a pawn. Believing he would be safe, Will decided to go with it and stupidly enough, Kaysar ended up getting the boot in a (not so) shocking blindside.
4. Janelle telling everyone about SDJKJ prize
After winning one of the most powerful prizes in the game, Janelle though it would be a good idea to tell someone, who told someone, who told someone, which eventually spread to the whole house. The power entailed for Janelle to change a number of votes each week and would have been perfect for her to use as she was being targeted by many people. But, people began to strategistise against the power and used it to help finally boot her in the final seven.
5. Alison putting up Erika over Michael
In a head-scratching game move, Alison decided to pit Janelle against Erika, who was a minimal threat rather than who the majority wanted to target, Michael. While Erika was much more popular than Janelle, Janelle made it clear she had a game-changing prize and used it to manipulate votes and keep herself over Erika. Michael would eventually be the winner.
6. Jase: "Michael's a cheater"
In the epitome of sore loser-ness, Jase constantly talked about Michael being a cheater in the jury after his eviction. We're still not sure what the hell he's referring to.
URTV 2
1. Alex's arguments with James
When James & Alex were nominated against each other, James was pretty much guaranteed to leave due to his negative behavior and very anti-social personality where as Alex was well liked and social. When James began to call Alex out on the board, Alex took the bait the two got into a full-fledged argument. James basically was the puppet master of the entire debate and caused Alex to put his foot into his mouth far too many times. Eventually people began to change their minds about the vote and James ended up staying over Alex in the first eviction of the game.
2. Parker: "henchman throwing over the king"
Week 2 of the game, James formed the alliance of himself, Jessica, Parker, Amanda, and Janelle but James also had a side deal with Jacob. After Week 3 concluded, Parker, who had shown skeptism over James' loyalty PMed Jacob to tell him the hencman were throwing over the king. Jacob predictably enough told James which began the crumble of the huge alliance and Parker's almost immediate eviction.
3. Parker: "I like everyone here i like janielle she is prety cool. dont like nick,think he is racist (but how can i judge on first imprressions)"
The line that would cause one of the best flame wars in Jury House history.
4. The Frontdoor
In a time where the JJJAP alliance between James, Janelle, Jessica, Parker, and Amanda were breaking apart because of James calling Parker & Amanda out for betraying him, Jessica won the Head of Household and had to make a decision. Rather than taking the safe road and going after the more typical LBA, or two floaters in Jacob or Diane, Jessica decided to put up Parker & Amanda with the idea of backdooring James. Unfortuantely for her, she didn't realize that James was set up with everyone else in the house by that point. At the POV competition, Jessica threw the POV to Amanda in a very obvious fashion, leading to James calling her out, being put up, and Parker being "frontdoored".
5. The Partners Twist
In one of the worst twists I've ever had in a game, I was so amped up for Big Brother 9 that I threw in a twist that would pair up houseguests based on numbers they drew. James & Jessica, bitter rivals at this point and two of the most entertaining people left in the game, happened to be one of them. And that would be their very downfall as they were both evicted that very week.
6. Ivette nominating Diane and Jacob allowing for the most useless eviction
When Ivette assumed power in at a time where a new alliance was rising and hers were beginning to crumble, she chose to nominate the two weakest players in the house - Diane and Jacob. Diane would be evicted and Ivette's clutch victory would be considered a huge wasted opportunity to take out Dustin or Janelle.
7. Dustin: "Big Brother is not a social game"
The often quoted line from Dustin's jury speech that lead to his 11-0 loss to Janelle.
8. Janelle falling for Ivette/Jacob's lie
At the final five HOH, Ivette found herself up on the block against Amanda due to Jacob trying his hardest not to be a pawn. If Ivette won veto, however, Jacob knew he was likely toast. When Jacob realized he was on the bottom of the totem pole for the alliance of him, Janelle, Dustin, and Amanda - he went to Ivette and they came up with a lie that Dustin was feeding information about the HOH room to her. Once it went public, Janelle fell into the trap and ended up putting up Dustin. Jacob and Ivette voted Amanda out and Janelle's closest ally was history. .
URTV3
1. Nakomis backdooring Sarah
Considered one of the biggest wasted opportunities in URTV, Nakomis won HOH and attempted to break up the alliance known as Chilltown by putting up Chelsia & Keesha. When Chelsia found herself off the block thanks to Will's veto, Nakomis caved to their constant badgering and put up one of their biggest targets - Sarah. Sarah would end up leaving and Chilltown earned themselves another break - a break that would last all the way until the final four.
2. Keesha nominating Sarah to "teach Will a lesson"
lol.
3. Evicting April over Will
When April and the master mind known as Will were found nominated against each other, it looked like the run of one of the greatest players to ever play the game would come to an end. Roddy, April's closest ally, was the deciding vote. However, in a shocking move, he chose to evict his close ally and keep Will in the game figuring that Will's threatening status would overshadow him and help keep him around. Ironically enough, Roddy would be evicted the next week and Will would end up winning the whole thing.
4. Evicting Roddy
When Dr. Will won the final five veto, he chose to finally attempt the right the "wrong" he did before and put Keesha up on the block, something he's had been meaning to for quite a long time. Will chose to nominate Keesha & Nakomis with the intent of taking Keesha out once and for all. At the veto competition however, Roddy & Will were in close contention, but WIll would win. After the competition was over, Roddy yelled at Will that he should have thrown the challenge to him. Apparently very angered over Roddy's mouth, Will chose to completely go back on his plan and saved Keesha from the block and put Roddy up in her place, leading to his eviction. Will nearly followed him the very next week.
5. Keesha asking Roddy to quit
The fail here is not just Keesha being this desperate to keep Officer Howie in the game, but Roddy actually considering it.
6. Howie's Diary Room
A saga that would lead to "story time" at the Skype finale. Officer Howie, how we miss thee.
7. Erika quitting
After weeks of being targeted, Erika found herself on the block against Jun. To avoid being evicted, Erika quit and cited her reasons as Jun deserving to stay over her and not wanting to see her leave.
8. Jase ruining the twist
A big twist in the game would have Jase, the URTV1 main baddy, be a "hand grenade" for the season. The twist would include him not only being the new room mate of whatever houseguest the person threw their hand grenade to, but also be a full time houseguest. The catch was, Jase had to keep quiet about it and not tell anyone. Sadly, Jase was in contact with a few houseguests in the game throughout it, knowing full well he wasn't supposed to be in contact with them. Eventually Chelsia would rat him out just 4 days before his scheduled arrival and the twist was canceled just like that.
9. KC doesn't know how to count
In the eviction between Daniele and Erika, I had originally posted that it was a tie. Sheila, the HOH, logged in and evicted Erika. Eventually my loyal HC compadres Nick & Lemon would have to waive off the eviction to tell me that I miscounted and Daniele had actually been eliminated. This is what happens when you nag KC to do eviction when he's in the middle of moving.
URTV 4
1. The Cast
While not horrible, it was considered the worst cast of the "first generation" of URTV (1-5). Activity was somewhat of a problem and DRs were rather dull.
2. Housecalls
Bloated and inactive. Sadly HC didn't come close to reaching URTV3's exciting and active staff.
3. Jen evicting Scott
Rather than evicting Jun, Jen decided to cave into her strong ally's pleas (Dan) to evict Scott. Her second strongest ally would leave and Jen would be doomed to eviction pretty soon after and give Triple D complete power of the game.
4. Jessie: "I'm going" Jen: "Have a good day!"
A conversation that would cause Jessie to leave a huge rant against Jen because he thought he said "I'm good".
5. Jameka spazzing out
During her snap eviction, Jameka went absolutely nuts on the house and eventually had the most entertaining houecalls interview of all time.
6. Brian thinking he was controlling Daniele's HOH
Brian tells Daniele to put up obvious nominations, Daniele puts up obvious nominations, Brian celebrates.
7. Brian: "I Kick Acid"
It's true, he does.
8. Scott putting up his own alliance as pawns to get Dan evicted, then POV not being used
And one of the biggest examples of why backdooring should be a last resort. The puzzling thing about this is that Daniele was still in the game and a target of Scott's. Daniele & Dan as the initial nominations may have made a lot more sense here.
9. Daniele insults Libra
When Daniele and David were the final two, most of the jury was in favor of Daniele winning and saw David as a huge snake with nothing but redemption for his backstabbing on their mind. David answered the questions very strong and earned himself a few respect points. The votes eventually came 3-3, with the deciding vote on Libra. Libra admits that she wanted to vote Daniele, seeing David as a green snaked with a forked tongue. However, during the jury questioning, Daniele decided it would be a good idea to insult Libra. Libra swiftly changed her mind and voted David, giving him the win by one vote.
URTV5
1. Patrick pretends to be gay
Patrick was one of my favorite players in URTV3, a thought that a lot of people questioned. Many didn't think he deserved to be in All-Stars despite my debates that he did, so Patrick decided to really step up his game to prove all his doubters wrong. In the pre-game, Patrick took the first step in pretending to be gay and offering cyber sex and extreme amounts of flirting with other gay houseguests in the game. This proved to be... disturbing to say the least.
2. Jase
Jase came into the game as a "last chance" and used it to attempt to foil the series. Constantly moaning about challenges, personally attacking other houseguests, and constantly slurring extremely racist and homophobic remarks quickly made him one of the games most hated. Eventually his attempts to push the envelope ended in his expulsion - the first in URTV history and a huge smudge on the credibility of the All-Stars season.
3. Michael doesn't save himself
In one of the biggest facepalm moments in URTV history, Week 1 veto went to URTV stand-out competitor Michael. When Michael had the chance to save himself, he opted to save his block mate Jen J instead, citing his reasons for knowing Jase was the replacement and wanting the house to decide between them. Well sadly for Michael, his nobleness was not rewarded and he left in a nearly unanimous vote with Jen J even voting him out as well. The only vote to keep him was Parker.
4. HATCH wants Nick nominated
Parker a/k/a HATCH is URTV's original cult icon. Although, it's safe to say he wasn't exactly an All-Star player in either of his two previous seasons. Despite this, a few dropouts opened the door for him to really prove his worth. It's no secret that Parker and Nick didn't get along (He is racist afterall!) so Parker thought it would be a great idea to attempt to get "Mr. Saint Nick" backdoored the week Nick's strongest ally, Jen J, was in power. By campaigning? Of course not. By simply posting about it in the veto thread in front of everyone. In case you're wonder, no it didn't work.
5. Jen D walks
Jen D won a huge HOH in Week 2 and almost sealed a big catch by nominating the powerful duo of Will/Chelsia. Jen D attempted to rule the week with an iron fist, but her plans were cut short when Will would win the Power of Veto competition by just a few seconds. At the POV ceremony, Will saved himself forcing Jen to make a replacement. She chose to put up Scott and attempted to drive the house into voting Chelsia. The house, however, wanted Scott gone and Jen threw a fit. Rather than fighting, Jen threw in the towel and quit, causing Scott & Chelsia to both stay in the game.
6. Daniele winning HOH
Shadow has a reputation of winning things when he really shouldn't, and this week proved to be no different. While Shad took the easy way out and nominated two people he didn't talk to much, the win would result in his elimination the week after thanks to the nomination of the then Queen April.
7. Parker's HOH
Parker had one of the most random, crazy, and weird HOH's in URTV history. And it was a clutch win, to say the least. Winning this HOH meant that Parker could finally attempt to break up the LBA, the alliance of Nick, Jen J, and Alison. But, rather than doing that, he nominated Alison and Jessica, citing his reasons as Jessica being a "fake bitch". When Jessica won POV, Parker had yet another opportunity to put up Nick or Jen J. However, Parker decided to use this time to make a deal with Will, who wasn't even in the same house as him at the time. Will's deal would be that if he got Dan evicted from the Sex Pantherz, then Parker has to get rid of Jun. Parker agreed and put up Jun. Will got put on the block himself and was nearly backdoored. Jun left for the Firecrackers. Parker's HOH was a fail. And he left the week after.
8. Project Valkrye
What was a brilliant plan on paper turned into a huge fail. When April won HOH, the plan was to target Daniele with Dan up as a pawn. However Chelsia & Will's constant campaigning to get Dan out enraged April to the point where she wanted Will backdoored. Dan & Keesha, new enemies of the power duo, devised a plan where themselves, Scott, and April would make a four person alliance. At the POV ceremony, Scott saved Dan and Will was put up. Everyone on the Sex Pantherz except for Chelsia voted. However after some campaigning, April & Scott decided to go back on the plan and evict Daniele as originally intended, managing to break four deals in the process and completely screw over the beautiful position that April was originally in.
9. Scott & Jessica give up everything
In the POV competition week 4, Firecrackers member Jessica and Sex Pantherz member Scott both decided to give up HOH and POV for the rest of the game, deeming them vegetables for the rest of it's entirety.
10. Nick wins HOH
Nick was set up well in the Final Six for the Firecrackers by having a deal with everyone except Nakomis. However, he won HOH by accident and was stuck with a dilemma. He had an easy out in nominating Nakomis and vegetable Jessica, but at the POV competition, the returning Janelle came back in style by winning it. She asked for permission to save Jessica and Nick put his trust in Janelle & Jessica to evict Nakomis, rather than having solid votes from Jen J and Alison. Nick gave the go ahead, Janelle saved Jessica, and Nick put up his long time ally Jen J. And that would be the last time Jen J was ever seen in URTV again.
11. Patrick offers money to stay
When Patrick found himself on the block, he knew he was most likely doomed. He campaigned hard to the point where he was offering money to people in exchange for a vote. This would eventually lead to the breakdown that would send Patrick home for good.
12. Dan's HOH
When Dan won HOH, it could be considered clutch being a big enemy in Will & Chelsia's eyes. However, the week before, Will made a deal with Dan that if he were to win HOH, he would keep Dan safe in exchange for Dan keeping him safe. Dan agreed to the deal, but as any typical endurance deal, it was off the moment Dan got his key. At nominations, Dan put up Will & Chelsia. An enraged Will became furious with this move and began to use elements of Evel Dick in his strategy to intimidate Dan and guilt trip him. It worked. After the veto competition where Will was able to win yet another medallion and save himself, a gutted Dan left a suicide-note like message in his DR and put up Scott and encouraged others to vote him out. Scott would be evicted, and Dan's HOH would be deemed a huge wasted opportunity.
URTV 6
1. Chelsia and Parker only going 5 minutes in Power Couple Endurance
Chelsia: Ready to do endurance?
Parker: Yes.
*starts*
Chelsia: brb, prom
Not particularly surprising enough, they were the first boot.
2. James throwing veto, gets evicted
When James & Neil on the block as a couple in the same week couples would end, James was assured he would stay over Neil. Come veto time, James threw the veto, confident he was staying. However at eviction, as proven to NEVER trust someone enough to risk eviction, James ended up leaving 4-2.
3. Natalies public Diary rooms.
In an effort to make her Diary Rooms more interesting, Natalie decided to do video Diary Rooms from YouTube for URTV6. Sadly, she was doing these same Diary Rooms in another game. The host of that game just so happened to be playing in URTV6. Eventually, the videos were out to everyone and unbeknown to Natalie, the entire house was anticipating the next edition of BrittiTube.
4. Alex backstabs Sharon, gets backstabbed for his efforts
During Alex's final six HOH, he had the oppurtunity to break up Allison & Ryan. He nearly did so, but the duo made a deal with him that if he backdoored Sharon, he would be safe. Alex took the bait and rather than breaking up the power couple, Sharon ended up leaving. Alex followed her the next week during Allison's HOH.
5. Neil's public attacks.
Because getting that worked up over a game is fun.
URTV 7
1. The Cast
URTV4 multiplied by a few hunred. Slow DRs and slow activity, along with our favorite host being an emo about ORGs, this game was slow and boring when you took the main storyline of it away.
2. Housecalls
Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Housecalls, which was created in URTV3 as a forum for people not playing to discuss their views of the game and rate all the houseguests turned into a bash party and a place where Housecalls members can stroke their own cocks.
3. Joe backdoors Jameka
Joe won a clutch HOH for his alliance and had a huge opportunity to take out Mike or Eric. Instead, he opts to put up the inactive Jameka as a pawn and sending her home in the process.
4. Joe throws the final 5 veto to Mike
In a move that would have taken Jessica out of the game and potentially got him (and Mike) higher placings in the game, Joe chose to simply let Mike win the veto and end up getting put up on the block himself as a pawn, causing a potential ally in Carol to leave. Mike & Joe would be evicted back to back after this week.
5. Zach becomes the target after trying to mess up Eric in the POV
Eric intially put Zach up as a pawn, but Zach would end up pulling a "BB8 Mike" by trying to taunt the HOH to mess up. Eric eventually gave in and campaigned for Zach's exit.
6. Amber creates drama instead of campaigning
While Amber was highly disliked, she had a big chance to stay in the game due to it and could have easily pulled a "James Rhine URTV2" like speech to keep herself in. Rather than doing this, she spent her time on the block insulting people and attacking the house, which lead to her unanimous exit Week 1.
7. Jury failure
Jameka & Dick disappear causing a pre-juror in Zach having to come in and vote. This was the first time since URTV2 that we missed a vote in the final vote and the first time in URTV history we were missing two jury members.
===
SSO I
1. Kamalina votes out Elizabeth
When Kamalina lost the first Immunity challenge, they had to decide between three people - Chris, who screwed the challenge up. Jamie, who didn't show at all, And... for some reason, Elizabeth. Elizabeth, who did get into the game late, but participated in the challenge and vowed to be active, was Kamalina's choice to take out. Unsurprisingly enough, they came to Tribal twice more after this.
2. Janet self votes out
In a move that quite possibly could have broken up the 5 person alliance of Jeff/JP/Kelly/Courtney/Sydney, the re-hashed Kamalina tribe had Darrah, Janet, Jamie, Shii Ann against JP and Jeff. A twist where Nonopapa could kidnap someone from the Kamalina tribe for this Tribal Council saw them take Darra. However, the numbers were still there to take out Jeff with three others. At the voting, Shii Ann and Jamie voted Jeff, JP and Jeff voted Janet.... and Janet voted herself - eliminating one of the only chances to finally attempt to break up the power alliance that would make it to the final five.
3. Boston Rob quits
Boston Rob was someone I was a big fan of in the start of the game. He claimed to be fresh out of the army and all about honor. He had strong gameplay in the first few weeks, but eventually started to fall for the five person alliance's tricks as he stuck with Courtney. At the merge, he found himself to have made a big mistake in aligning with them and knew he was a target in their sights. When voted out, rather than keeping his "honor" and "respect", Rob decided to bitch the game out and claimed it was rigged for the five person alliance to make it to the end. Ironically enough, the Prediction Writers were rooting for Rob to make it far.
4. Mass Suicide
The final five alliance making it all the way down there was a triumphant victory indeed. Kelly, JP, Jeff, Sydney, and Courtney were all proud of themselves to make it and outlast the rest. But what occured next left a sour taste in our mouths to say the least as JP, Kelly, and Jeff all basically dropped out one by one to hand Sydney & Courtney a final two spot. While Sydney & Court were both extremely deserving of a final two, it left the game quite anticlimatic and was big slap in the face to the other members of the jury who fell victim to the alliance.
We're trying to have fun with this, so try to take it tongue-in-cheek if you're listed in these.
URTV 1
1. Kaysar voting out Scott & Joe
- Kaysar joined the game with Scott & Joe, having an immediate alliance with them while the rest of the house was jocking for position.

2. Will putting Kaysar up instead of Holly
In what could have served as an oppurtunity to guarentee Jase's exit by putting up the super-sweet and well liked Holly, Will decided to put Kaysar up on the block - who had a reputation of pissing people off and having a grumpy attitude that many were beginning to get sick of. In by far the biggest blindside of the game, Jase ended up staying Kaysar got the ka-boosh.
3. Kaysar nominating himself
When Will was targeting Jase, the biggest target in the game, he needed a pawn to go after him once Janelle was saved with the veto by Jessica.

Believing he would be safe, Will decided to go with it and stupidly enough, Kaysar ended up getting the boot in a (not so) shocking blindside.
4. Janelle telling everyone about SDJKJ prize
After winning one of the most powerful prizes in the game, Janelle though it would be a good idea to tell someone, who told someone, who told someone, which eventually spread to the whole house.

But, people began to strategistise against the power and used it to help finally boot her in the final seven.

Michael would eventually be the winner.

URTV 2
1. Alex's arguments with James
When James & Alex were nominated against each other, James was pretty much guaranteed to leave due to his negative behavior and very anti-social personality where as Alex was well liked and social. When James began to call Alex out on the board, Alex took the bait the two got into a full-fledged argument. James basically was the puppet master of the entire debate and caused Alex to put his foot into his mouth far too many times. Eventually people began to change their minds about the vote and James ended up staying over Alex in the first eviction of the game.
2. Parker: "henchman throwing over the king"
Week 2 of the game, James formed the alliance of himself, Jessica, Parker, Amanda, and Janelle but James also had a side deal with Jacob. After Week 3 concluded, Parker, who had shown skeptism over James' loyalty PMed Jacob to tell him the hencman were throwing over the king. Jacob predictably enough told James which began the crumble of the huge alliance and Parker's almost immediate eviction.
3. Parker: "I like everyone here i like janielle she is prety cool. dont like nick,think he is racist (but how can i judge on first imprressions)"
The line that would cause one of the best flame wars in Jury House history.

Unfortuantely for her, she didn't realize that James was set up with everyone else in the house by that point. At the POV competition, Jessica threw the POV to Amanda in a very obvious fashion, leading to James calling her out, being put up, and Parker being "frontdoored".
5. The Partners Twist
In one of the worst twists I've ever had in a game, I was so amped up for Big Brother 9 that I threw in a twist that would pair up houseguests based on numbers they drew.

URTV3
1. Nakomis backdooring Sarah
Considered one of the biggest wasted opportunities in URTV, Nakomis won HOH and attempted to break up the alliance known as Chilltown by putting up Chelsia & Keesha. When Chelsia found herself off the block thanks to Will's veto, Nakomis caved to their constant badgering and put up one of their biggest targets - Sarah. Sarah would end up leaving and Chilltown earned themselves another break - a break that would last all the way until the final four.
2. Keesha nominating Sarah to "teach Will a lesson"
lol.
3. Evicting April over Will
When April and the master mind known as Will were found nominated against each other, it looked like the run of one of the greatest players to ever play the game would come to an end. Roddy, April's closest ally, was the deciding vote. However, in a shocking move, he chose to evict his close ally and keep Will in the game figuring that Will's threatening status would overshadow him and help keep him around. Ironically enough, Roddy would be evicted the next week and Will would end up winning the whole thing.
4. Evicting Roddy
When Dr. Will won the final five veto, he chose to finally attempt the right the "wrong" he did before and put Keesha up on the block, something he's had been meaning to for quite a long time.

Will nearly followed him the very next week.
5. Keesha asking Roddy to quit
The fail here is not just Keesha being this desperate to keep Officer Howie in the game, but Roddy actually considering it.
6. Howie's Diary Room
A saga that would lead to "story time" at the Skype finale. Officer Howie, how we miss thee.
7. Erika quitting
After weeks of being targeted, Erika found herself on the block against Jun. To avoid being evicted, Erika quit and cited her reasons as Jun deserving to stay over her and not wanting to see her leave.

The catch was, Jase had to keep quiet about it and not tell anyone. Sadly, Jase was in contact with a few houseguests in the game throughout it, knowing full well he wasn't supposed to be in contact with them. Eventually Chelsia would rat him out just 4 days before his scheduled arrival and the twist was canceled just like that.
9. KC doesn't know how to count
In the eviction between Daniele and Erika, I had originally posted that it was a tie. Sheila, the HOH, logged in and evicted Erika. Eventually my loyal HC compadres Nick & Lemon would have to waive off the eviction to tell me that I miscounted and Daniele had actually been eliminated. This is what happens when you nag KC to do eviction when he's in the middle of moving.
URTV 4
1. The Cast
While not horrible, it was considered the worst cast of the "first generation" of URTV (1-5). Activity was somewhat of a problem and DRs were rather dull.
2. Housecalls
Bloated and inactive. Sadly HC didn't come close to reaching URTV3's exciting and active staff.
3. Jen evicting Scott
Rather than evicting Jun, Jen decided to cave into her strong ally's pleas (Dan) to evict Scott. Her second strongest ally would leave and Jen would be doomed to eviction pretty soon after and give Triple D complete power of the game.
4. Jessie: "I'm going" Jen: "Have a good day!"
A conversation that would cause Jessie to leave a huge rant against Jen because he thought he said "I'm good".
5. Jameka spazzing out
During her snap eviction, Jameka went absolutely nuts on the house and eventually had the most entertaining houecalls interview of all time.
6. Brian thinking he was controlling Daniele's HOH
Brian tells Daniele to put up obvious nominations, Daniele puts up obvious nominations, Brian celebrates.
7. Brian: "I Kick Acid"
It's true, he does.
8. Scott putting up his own alliance as pawns to get Dan evicted, then POV not being used
And one of the biggest examples of why backdooring should be a last resort. The puzzling thing about this is that Daniele was still in the game and a target of Scott's. Daniele & Dan as the initial nominations may have made a lot more sense here.
9. Daniele insults Libra
When Daniele and David were the final two, most of the jury was in favor of Daniele winning and saw David as a huge snake with nothing but redemption for his backstabbing on their mind. David answered the questions very strong and earned himself a few respect points. The votes eventually came 3-3, with the deciding vote on Libra. Libra admits that she wanted to vote Daniele, seeing David as a green snaked with a forked tongue. However, during the jury questioning, Daniele decided it would be a good idea to insult Libra. Libra swiftly changed her mind and voted David, giving him the win by one vote.
URTV5
1. Patrick pretends to be gay
Patrick was one of my favorite players in URTV3, a thought that a lot of people questioned. Many didn't think he deserved to be in All-Stars despite my debates that he did, so Patrick decided to really step up his game to prove all his doubters wrong. In the pre-game, Patrick took the first step in pretending to be gay and offering cyber sex and extreme amounts of flirting with other gay houseguests in the game. This proved to be... disturbing to say the least.
2. Jase
Jase came into the game as a "last chance" and used it to attempt to foil the series. Constantly moaning about challenges, personally attacking other houseguests, and constantly slurring extremely racist and homophobic remarks quickly made him one of the games most hated. Eventually his attempts to push the envelope ended in his expulsion - the first in URTV history and a huge smudge on the credibility of the All-Stars season.
3. Michael doesn't save himself
In one of the biggest facepalm moments in URTV history, Week 1 veto went to URTV stand-out competitor Michael. When Michael had the chance to save himself, he opted to save his block mate Jen J instead, citing his reasons for knowing Jase was the replacement and wanting the house to decide between them. Well sadly for Michael, his nobleness was not rewarded and he left in a nearly unanimous vote with Jen J even voting him out as well. The only vote to keep him was Parker.
4. HATCH wants Nick nominated
Parker a/k/a HATCH is URTV's original cult icon. Although, it's safe to say he wasn't exactly an All-Star player in either of his two previous seasons. Despite this, a few dropouts opened the door for him to really prove his worth. It's no secret that Parker and Nick didn't get along (He is racist afterall!) so Parker thought it would be a great idea to attempt to get "Mr. Saint Nick" backdoored the week Nick's strongest ally, Jen J, was in power. By campaigning? Of course not. By simply posting about it in the veto thread in front of everyone. In case you're wonder, no it didn't work.
5. Jen D walks
Jen D won a huge HOH in Week 2 and almost sealed a big catch by nominating the powerful duo of Will/Chelsia. Jen D attempted to rule the week with an iron fist, but her plans were cut short when Will would win the Power of Veto competition by just a few seconds. At the POV ceremony, Will saved himself forcing Jen to make a replacement. She chose to put up Scott and attempted to drive the house into voting Chelsia. The house, however, wanted Scott gone and Jen threw a fit. Rather than fighting, Jen threw in the towel and quit, causing Scott & Chelsia to both stay in the game.
6. Daniele winning HOH
Shadow has a reputation of winning things when he really shouldn't, and this week proved to be no different. While Shad took the easy way out and nominated two people he didn't talk to much, the win would result in his elimination the week after thanks to the nomination of the then Queen April.
7. Parker's HOH
Parker had one of the most random, crazy, and weird HOH's in URTV history. And it was a clutch win, to say the least. Winning this HOH meant that Parker could finally attempt to break up the LBA, the alliance of Nick, Jen J, and Alison. But, rather than doing that, he nominated Alison and Jessica, citing his reasons as Jessica being a "fake bitch". When Jessica won POV, Parker had yet another opportunity to put up Nick or Jen J. However, Parker decided to use this time to make a deal with Will, who wasn't even in the same house as him at the time. Will's deal would be that if he got Dan evicted from the Sex Pantherz, then Parker has to get rid of Jun. Parker agreed and put up Jun. Will got put on the block himself and was nearly backdoored. Jun left for the Firecrackers. Parker's HOH was a fail. And he left the week after.
8. Project Valkrye
What was a brilliant plan on paper turned into a huge fail. When April won HOH, the plan was to target Daniele with Dan up as a pawn. However Chelsia & Will's constant campaigning to get Dan out enraged April to the point where she wanted Will backdoored. Dan & Keesha, new enemies of the power duo, devised a plan where themselves, Scott, and April would make a four person alliance. At the POV ceremony, Scott saved Dan and Will was put up. Everyone on the Sex Pantherz except for Chelsia voted. However after some campaigning, April & Scott decided to go back on the plan and evict Daniele as originally intended, managing to break four deals in the process and completely screw over the beautiful position that April was originally in.
9. Scott & Jessica give up everything
In the POV competition week 4, Firecrackers member Jessica and Sex Pantherz member Scott both decided to give up HOH and POV for the rest of the game, deeming them vegetables for the rest of it's entirety.
10. Nick wins HOH
Nick was set up well in the Final Six for the Firecrackers by having a deal with everyone except Nakomis. However, he won HOH by accident and was stuck with a dilemma. He had an easy out in nominating Nakomis and vegetable Jessica, but at the POV competition, the returning Janelle came back in style by winning it. She asked for permission to save Jessica and Nick put his trust in Janelle & Jessica to evict Nakomis, rather than having solid votes from Jen J and Alison. Nick gave the go ahead, Janelle saved Jessica, and Nick put up his long time ally Jen J. And that would be the last time Jen J was ever seen in URTV again.
11. Patrick offers money to stay
When Patrick found himself on the block, he knew he was most likely doomed. He campaigned hard to the point where he was offering money to people in exchange for a vote. This would eventually lead to the breakdown that would send Patrick home for good.
12. Dan's HOH
When Dan won HOH, it could be considered clutch being a big enemy in Will & Chelsia's eyes. However, the week before, Will made a deal with Dan that if he were to win HOH, he would keep Dan safe in exchange for Dan keeping him safe. Dan agreed to the deal, but as any typical endurance deal, it was off the moment Dan got his key. At nominations, Dan put up Will & Chelsia. An enraged Will became furious with this move and began to use elements of Evel Dick in his strategy to intimidate Dan and guilt trip him. It worked. After the veto competition where Will was able to win yet another medallion and save himself, a gutted Dan left a suicide-note like message in his DR and put up Scott and encouraged others to vote him out. Scott would be evicted, and Dan's HOH would be deemed a huge wasted opportunity.
URTV 6
1. Chelsia and Parker only going 5 minutes in Power Couple Endurance
Chelsia: Ready to do endurance?
Parker: Yes.
*starts*
Chelsia: brb, prom
Not particularly surprising enough, they were the first boot.
2. James throwing veto, gets evicted
When James & Neil on the block as a couple in the same week couples would end, James was assured he would stay over Neil. Come veto time, James threw the veto, confident he was staying. However at eviction, as proven to NEVER trust someone enough to risk eviction, James ended up leaving 4-2.
3. Natalies public Diary rooms.
In an effort to make her Diary Rooms more interesting, Natalie decided to do video Diary Rooms from YouTube for URTV6. Sadly, she was doing these same Diary Rooms in another game. The host of that game just so happened to be playing in URTV6. Eventually, the videos were out to everyone and unbeknown to Natalie, the entire house was anticipating the next edition of BrittiTube.
4. Alex backstabs Sharon, gets backstabbed for his efforts
During Alex's final six HOH, he had the oppurtunity to break up Allison & Ryan. He nearly did so, but the duo made a deal with him that if he backdoored Sharon, he would be safe. Alex took the bait and rather than breaking up the power couple, Sharon ended up leaving. Alex followed her the next week during Allison's HOH.
5. Neil's public attacks.
Because getting that worked up over a game is fun.
URTV 7
1. The Cast
URTV4 multiplied by a few hunred. Slow DRs and slow activity, along with our favorite host being an emo about ORGs, this game was slow and boring when you took the main storyline of it away.
2. Housecalls
Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! Housecalls, which was created in URTV3 as a forum for people not playing to discuss their views of the game and rate all the houseguests turned into a bash party and a place where Housecalls members can stroke their own cocks.
3. Joe backdoors Jameka
Joe won a clutch HOH for his alliance and had a huge opportunity to take out Mike or Eric. Instead, he opts to put up the inactive Jameka as a pawn and sending her home in the process.
4. Joe throws the final 5 veto to Mike
In a move that would have taken Jessica out of the game and potentially got him (and Mike) higher placings in the game, Joe chose to simply let Mike win the veto and end up getting put up on the block himself as a pawn, causing a potential ally in Carol to leave. Mike & Joe would be evicted back to back after this week.
5. Zach becomes the target after trying to mess up Eric in the POV
Eric intially put Zach up as a pawn, but Zach would end up pulling a "BB8 Mike" by trying to taunt the HOH to mess up. Eric eventually gave in and campaigned for Zach's exit.
6. Amber creates drama instead of campaigning
While Amber was highly disliked, she had a big chance to stay in the game due to it and could have easily pulled a "James Rhine URTV2" like speech to keep herself in. Rather than doing this, she spent her time on the block insulting people and attacking the house, which lead to her unanimous exit Week 1.
7. Jury failure
Jameka & Dick disappear causing a pre-juror in Zach having to come in and vote. This was the first time since URTV2 that we missed a vote in the final vote and the first time in URTV history we were missing two jury members.
===
SSO I
1. Kamalina votes out Elizabeth
When Kamalina lost the first Immunity challenge, they had to decide between three people - Chris, who screwed the challenge up. Jamie, who didn't show at all, And... for some reason, Elizabeth. Elizabeth, who did get into the game late, but participated in the challenge and vowed to be active, was Kamalina's choice to take out. Unsurprisingly enough, they came to Tribal twice more after this.
2. Janet self votes out
In a move that quite possibly could have broken up the 5 person alliance of Jeff/JP/Kelly/Courtney/Sydney, the re-hashed Kamalina tribe had Darrah, Janet, Jamie, Shii Ann against JP and Jeff. A twist where Nonopapa could kidnap someone from the Kamalina tribe for this Tribal Council saw them take Darra. However, the numbers were still there to take out Jeff with three others. At the voting, Shii Ann and Jamie voted Jeff, JP and Jeff voted Janet.... and Janet voted herself - eliminating one of the only chances to finally attempt to break up the power alliance that would make it to the final five.
3. Boston Rob quits
Boston Rob was someone I was a big fan of in the start of the game. He claimed to be fresh out of the army and all about honor. He had strong gameplay in the first few weeks, but eventually started to fall for the five person alliance's tricks as he stuck with Courtney. At the merge, he found himself to have made a big mistake in aligning with them and knew he was a target in their sights. When voted out, rather than keeping his "honor" and "respect", Rob decided to bitch the game out and claimed it was rigged for the five person alliance to make it to the end. Ironically enough, the Prediction Writers were rooting for Rob to make it far.
4. Mass Suicide
The final five alliance making it all the way down there was a triumphant victory indeed. Kelly, JP, Jeff, Sydney, and Courtney were all proud of themselves to make it and outlast the rest. But what occured next left a sour taste in our mouths to say the least as JP, Kelly, and Jeff all basically dropped out one by one to hand Sydney & Courtney a final two spot. While Sydney & Court were both extremely deserving of a final two, it left the game quite anticlimatic and was big slap in the face to the other members of the jury who fell victim to the alliance.
