Justme Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 No need to shout, Queen -- we can hear you just fine in a smaller font. Some of us believe it was rigged, definitely. Oh, and Francis, glad to see you. We missed you...loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMDGirl Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I agree with everything Justme said in this thread. Perhaps rigged is not the best word to use in this situation. Is Big Brother Rigged? It depends on your definition of "rigged." Did BB8 have a way for the producers to find out who America loved on the show? Why, yes. Did BB8 have a way to help (indirectly, of course) said HG to stay on the show? Why, yes. Was it guaranteed that said HG would stay on the show. Well, no. Did the editors give Dick and good edit on the show? Why, yes! So the show may not have been rigged per se, but it was definitely manipulated to achieve the highest ratings possible based on the American people!!

spacecadet Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 riggedy, jiggedy, biggedy, bobbedy, bibbedy, boo! Sorry, had to get that silliness out of my system. Good points, BigMDGirl... And... I can't help but think there was a little bit of assistance by the producers to push things along... I mean, several HGs complained about being pressured in the DR (this is nothing new, but it seems like the extent to which it was done this season was far greater), several cases of borderline or outright abusive behavior were given a pass, outright admitted cheating was not dealt with, and then there is the whole question of whether or not there could have been cheating in the Final HOH. Oh, and let's not forget that it was really unclear how this whole AP vote count thing even worked... no QC on the online voting. (Were they allowing more than ten votes? Who knows! How were they tabulated? Heck if I know! You know where I'm going with this, right?) Gee, the list goes on and on! This whole season is suspect to me. Rigged? Maybe not. Suspect, definitely so! ETA: I don't know why I am tempted to quote copygodd from MSR here, Francis, but I just wanted to say... I missed you loads too! In my pants!

BigMDGirl Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I agree with your points, Space. Suspect, yeah, that's the word to use!! BUT, (this is where we may differ in opinion) if the game were not "rigged/suspect", I don't know if I would have liked it as much. I started out just watching prime time, then started watching Showtime after about a month and then signed up for live feeds soon after that...I was ADDICTED (I called it my BB crack). I have to admit, a big part of it was to see what Dick was going to do (and to see Jessica and Eric--awwwww). So, I think it was ok to have it rigged (if it was). Is that bad?

spacecadet Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 I think my problem with this season was just the heavy handedness of it all... I think that there was some bit of pushing in seasons past, but there is just something about this season that just stinks!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justme Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Hey BigMDGirl,I agree that the season was manipulated by the producers, but we do have a different view, I think, on the extent to which is was done. Nothing wrong with that. And thanks for joining in again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeCiMom Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Mod note: Cleaned up of OT posts. Posters, The title of this is, "Is Big Brother Rigged?" All posts that are OT (off-topic) will be deleted and/or edited to eliminate OT comments. Also, it is against Morty's guidelines to spam a thread. I think at this point, if you are a regular poster, the posts of rigged/not rigged in big letters (or little letters) is getting out of hand. Either contribute to the discussion or move on.

Mendes56 Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 An interesting interview from another site. Jessica explains how the producers kept Eric in check and both Donatos in the game at a crucial point. Is this rigging? You be the judge. http://www.sillyhamsters.com/blog/archives...ruction_of.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllll now... isn't that interesting? The producers flat out tell Eric he CANNOT use the veto and then also tell him if he doesn't toe the line that he'll be kicked out of the house. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... Yeah, the show certainly wasn't rigged. NOT!!! ETA... thanks for the link, Mendes... VERY interesting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fizzle Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 some of it is believable and some not. eric is a slimy weasel and is good at twisting things around. he sat in that house and talked crap for 3 months... i dont know how jess does it.. listening to his garbage. game wise, jessica didnt deserve to make it to final 2. she let eric make all her choices for her. I doubt BB would ever give america the choice "should Eric remain in the house or leave"... i could see them using the contract he signed and any money he made so far as leverage though.
