The Wizard Twist
by Emma Swan Sun 3 Apr - 18:28:31
The Wizard Power
Before I go into details, here is a part of the plot from the movie "Happily N'Ever After" so you can get a sense of where the idea came from for this twist.
This season, you will be playing for "The Wizard Power" instead of "Head of Household"
This power is something to add a second layer to the "Head of Household" title. I believe strategy will come into play even more with this power. You will have to use your head to use it appropriately. It will throw a wrench in the plans of those who might want to throw the challenge. It could now be in your best interest to try, etc.
Each time we compete for the "Head of Household" title you will actually be competing for the "Wizard Power".
This power will give you the chance to pick the "Head of Household" for that specific round. You will of course be able to award the "Head of Household" title to yourself, but you can also use it and give it to someone else. There are different reasons to give it to someone else and these intentions can be "bad" and they can be "good".
The winner will not be announced. We will notify the winner in their Diary Room and they will have a set amount of time to let us know who they pick as "Head of Household". Once the title awarded, we will post your new "Head of Household" on the challenge thread.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
Before I go into details, here is a part of the plot from the movie "Happily N'Ever After" so you can get a sense of where the idea came from for this twist.
The story begins with the idea that the Wizard (George Carlin) controls all of the fairy tales and maintains the balance of good and evil in Fairy Tale Land. With the help of his assistants the uptight Munk (Wallace Shawn) and the decidedly goofy Mambo (Andy Dick), the Wizard is checking to make sure that all the fairy tales under his care are "on track" to have their traditional happy endings. As we meet him however, the Wizard is leaving for Scotland for a long-overdue vacation. He leaves the kingdom in the hands of Munk and Mambo.
Ella is a girl who is better known as Cinderella (Sarah Michelle Gellar). She lives as a servant to her step family, dreams of the Prince (Patrick Warburton) who will sweep her off her feet. Her best friend at the palace is Rick (Freddie Prinze, Jr.), the palace dishwasher. Rick takes it upon himself to deliver the invitations to the royal ball to Ella. Ella sees Rick only as a friend, but Rick secretly loves Ella, although he is too cool and proud to admit it. Rick can't really understand what Ella likes about the Prince. Rick's Three Amigos, the comic chefs (all voiced by Phil Proctor, Rob Paulsen and Tom Kenny) in the palace kitchen, believe that Rick has a bad case of "Prince envy". The Prince does everything by the book, and plans to meet his maiden at the ball.
However, things don't go as planned at the ball. Thanks to the assistants, Ella's evil stepmother, Frieda (Sigourney Weaver) gains access to the Wizard's lair during the Prince's ball. She manages to chase off Munk and Mambo and tip the scales of good and evil, causing a series of fairy tales to go wrong and have unhappy endings, including Jack getting stepped on by the Giant (John DiMaggio) yet surviving, Rumpelstiltskin (Michael McShane) winning his bet with the miller's daughter (Jill Talley) and taking her baby, and the unseen demise of Little Red Riding Hood. She summons an army of Trolls, witches (Tress MacNeille and Jill Talley), three Big Bad Wolves (Jon Polito and Tom Kenny), the Giant (John DiMaggio), and Rumpelstiltskin to her castle. Ella finds out and escapes to the woods where she meets Munk and Mambo. The trio set out to find the prince who has goes looking for his maiden (not knowing it was actually Ella) in hopes that he will defeat Frieda and save the day.

Let me know after the first round if it still doesn't make sense.

Just wanted to point out that this twist will end once we are down to final 3. At that point we will have a regular BB week with a 3 part HOH and a Veto challenge. This game will be a final 2.
