Nomii, it isn't always the goody two shoes who are audience faves. Remember Dr.Wil and Evel Dick? Hell, remember Howie. People want entertaining. And Chima
was just annoying. Jeff is a good guy, yes, but I think he's an audience fave also because he is funny (go read the Jeff's cracks thread for examples)
and because he hung out with the interesting people instead of the powerful ones. Also he's in the one of the cutest showmances ever.

IT is a joke show !!!!
Anyone who gets worked up over rule changes, just doesn't understand the show's founding concept. Rules, schmules. Big Brother does what Big Brother wants to do to the losers stupid enough to get cast on this train wreck. Thanks for inadvertently GETTING IT! |

Dan said in interviews that he still would have voted Jessie out. So the fact he was America's player just for that week really didn't matter. Just
thought I would point that out. People forget that Memphis hung out with Brian/Angie/Steven/Dan before 3 out of those 4 were evicted.

He had to for America. He couldn't tell people how he was voting, because he didn't know until Julie told him. Huge risk by Dan. |

nomii wrote:The drama Ronnie brought was pretty much at an end. More drama was created by him leaving the house. His game by that time was, like most of the others in that alliance, playing for Jessie. The problem with keeping people only because they bring drama is it eventually creates a very repressive atmosphere in the house. That's what happened in BB8 after Dick survived over Dustin, because no one was going to cross the Donatos, they'd learned what would happen if they did. Kaysar was a big noble type of person and that still didn't stop future seasons from being any less crazy. The people cast on BB are often predisposed to craziness. They're actually more likely to go off if they're in the house with more stable people. Look at the past few days. People said the feeds would be boring when Jessie left, but it was two or three days of meltdowns and fights. |

James Barber wrote: The crazier or more deluded people are, (hi Chima & Lydia!) the more insane they get when they are beaten by the likes of Michelle. Their egos are so fragile. Big Brother was on to something this season with the cliques. It perfectly symbolizes the petty bullying, and sense of entitlement, of Chima, Ronnie, Lydia and to an extent Russell. I think Jessie was a lot smarter than his emotionally crippled allies. |

They are so invested in these hamsters that when they get evicted and they lose their daily 'whacking' session they express their anger with their bitch ass cries of rigging. Once you remember that, instead of getting frustrated at their retardation you will just feel pity. Oh, and amazement that people that stone dumb can even remember to breath in and out daily. |

If they advantage 1 HG over the others then they are influencing the outcome of the "game" for financial reasons. This seems to fit the definition of rig. I have no problems with them doing it as they are in the business of making money for their shareholders but I am not deluded enough to think that they have no preference in how the show plays out. |

Zonker wrote: I wouldn't expect anything else from a poster with gay porn for an avatar, but does anyone really believe this crap? The episode in which the cootie twat and the call-in numbers were revealed featured a LONG segment of Jeff and Jordan snuggling and making cutesy-poo faces at each other, along with extensive gushing from both their families about how cute and snuggly they are together. (It immediately preceded the reveal of the cootie twat in case you mouth-breathers forgot.) Pretty much everybody else got an edit-from-hell that episode. Are you people really this delusional? Yes, if you want to look at that way. Technically, everyone had an "equal" chance at winning. Just not everyone got an equal appeal to easily-brainwashed, McDonald's-feasting simpletons. Attention everyone who plans to apply for "Big Brother 12." If you should get into the house, here is what you need to do to win. 1. Do jack shit the first 3 weeks of the game. If you actually do something the first 3 weeks of the game, fatass moo fraus will get upset that you are winning and whine that they are going to stop watching the show. 2. Don't be friends with anyone who does anyone the first 3 weeks of the game. If you are friends with people who do something, it will be death by association and the fatass moo fraus will get upset that you are winning and whine that they are going to stop watching the show. 3. While not doing jack shit, sit in the backyard, whine that you are not doing jack shit, and smoke a lot. This appeals to fatass moo fraus who hold such things as their major accomplishments in life. 4. Make sure to be an outcast. In fact, go out of your way to be an outcast by ignoring people so you can cook tuna and act like you're too good to talk to anyone else (all the while wondering why no one else is talking to you). If you are popular, you will be hated by fatass moo fraus who are forever reminded of high school when the popular people hated them. For obvious reasons. 5. Find a showmance, and then talk about highly intellectual stuff with said showmance like pooting and kicking people in the face. Fatass moo fraus pine for the touch and affection of a man, and are more than happy to live vicariously through those who can actually get such things, since they themselves cannot. 6. Remember Big Brother is not a game. It's a popularity contest. So don't strategize. Don't try to play. Don't win anything. Simply lie in bed all day with your shirt off, cuddle a cute blonde girl, and say how you're a wonderful person and you devote your life to finding a cure for cancer, serving soup to the homeless and rescuing stray kittens. This way, fatass moo fraus will know how terrific and wonderful and dreamy you are and will happily throw votes and panties your way. 7. Wait until the opposing side wins HOH again. Then bide your time until the fatass moo fraus decide that, because you were noble enough to suck so bad and be so useless at the game, you deserve to be thrown a bone. 8. You will always be thrown a bone for completing the first 7 steps, because fatass moo fraus' whining and threats to stop watching the show will always get the attention of Allison Grodner -- whose greatest fear is that fatass moo fraus will stop watching the show and it will get cancelled. Fatass moo fraus make up 99% of the demographic who watch Big Brother, so of course the show cannot afford to lose them. 9. Be attractive. 10. Don't be unattractive. With these 10 simple steps, you too can win Big Brother. |

Someone brought up a good point in the live feed discussion thread. Ryan basically had his power taken away in season 9 when James was voted right back into
the house. America had the chance in season 6 to vote someone back in (after others worked hard to get him out). Season 3 had Amy return. People's plans
get fucked up. The Nerd Herd still made the final 2, as did Ryan (who got saved by a twist himself, as he and Allison were voted out together). People adapt.
Chima didn't.

Hey, Riff, how do you explain the popularity of ED with your little recipe for how to win BB? No showmance, not attractive, verbally abusive, and playing the
game like crazy from the minute he walked in, and America voted him advantages whenever they had a chance.

And because the bulk of ED's vileness was left on the cutting room floor in favor of endless "Aw, isn't he Daddy of the Year?" package segments (complete with sappy music). Because you're easily-brainwashed sheep. ED wasn't unattractive. If you like that sort of thing. What, you don't think moo fraus get hot flashes over the "rocker" types? The fact that a bunch of them here got hot flashes over the disgustingness that was Crazy James says it all. |

Of course they knew that the power was game-changing. And obviously Jessie knew enough to desperately want to play for that veto. And Chima knew enough to threaten to go ballistic. They talked about the power all the time and their talk was always that the noms could be changed. Michelle pretended to bond with the girls just in case one of them had the power. Ruscle made sure he was tight with Jeff and Michelle in case one of them had it. Kevin was staying under the radar. Chima and Jessie and Natalie just were so impressed with themselves that they did nothing. How is this any different from other seasons, or even Survivor, where some stupid twist comes up--no matter how unfair? Tantrum-throwing won't get you anywhere.Crappysucks wrote: |

This was clearly a move to balance out the house after "rigging" the game by putting Jessie back in in the first place.
