Only the following housemates may compete.
This competition is called Alphabet Soup, and here's how it works!
ACHOO! Big Brother, Suzette, and I have all caught a nasty cold.
We would really appreciate if all of you could make some delicious warm soup to help us feel better. And while you're at, why don't you lift our spirits by playing with our food!
Contact one of the following people to compete:
Dan (CuzCarynSucks)
Suzette (troynuncdicit)
When the competition begins, you'll see a new category on the board called "Big Brother's Pantry." Inside is a stickied thread called "The Soup" and a bunch of other threads called "Noodle!" Your goal is to collect the letter shaped noodles and spell the longest English word possible in the soup thread.
To collect a letter, post in the thread containing the letter you want to claim (you can post anything at all). But make sure you're only picking up the letters you really want to use! To lock in your word, you must return any letters you didn't end up using by deleting any posts you made in those respective threads. So, for example, if you collect the letters S, N, A, K, E, L, and end up spelling "snake" you must return the letter L by deleting your post in that thread before you can stop your time.
To spell out your final word, you must post the images of the letters in "The Soup" thread. The word you spell MUST be in English and cannot be a proper noun. We will search for it on dictionary.com to confirm it is a real word. The letter images must appear, you cannot simply lost the links. You must then, as mentioned earlier, delete your posts in any letter threads you didn't end up using. Then, IM the host to freeze your time. You have a maximum of 10 minutes to compete. If you do not finish within the time limit you will be automatically disqualified, so be careful!
The housemate who spells the longest word will win the Power of Veto! If there is a tie, the housemate who spelled their word in the fastest time will win.
You have 24 hours to compete!
