I looked to see if we started one of these yet. Every year it seems Big Brother likes to keep the puppet strings on our house guests. I'm starting to wonder about Ronnie, and what BB will do to keep him there. When I heard talk of Jesse thinking Ronnie is America's Player and working for him, I was wondering if BB was putting this thought in Jesse's head. Thoughts?

Nothing about BB & AG & Co would surprise me in this regard. The diary room was originally intended for us to find out what the hamsters were REALLY thinking. Now - IMHO - it's where the producers try to influence the game. I hate that!

This one got me thinking of a twist, possibly something for surviving as the last of your clique, you may get HoH, on live feeds, july 20th, on beekindpleez's summary (thanks!) at 4:35am: "Laura is claiming to know something about the show that BB told her she could only tell if she is evicted." She was talking to Jordan, the last of her clique. To me, it sounds like AG has something in the works?

That would be great for Jordan as there's an agenda to get Ronnie out and it would be a good HOH for her, she wouldn't have too many enemies if all goes as planned.

If Ronnie stays due to Jessie group 'saving' him is there any chance Jessie is being led by the DR to keep Ronnie?

So some people think that this season is a set-up for Jessie to win. Assuming that they are right, why would AG do that knowing that Jessie was certainly not a fan favorite in the prior season and was eliminated by the fans?

Jesse/ie (lol) may not have been a fan favorite, but oddly, he seemed to draw an awful lot of attention to BB. He was often on the shows that make fun (like The Soup) and he garnered a lot of outside attention. Since, bottom line, it's all about ratings, her goal might be to keep him in for the win in an effort to draw ratings without such things as racial slurs or mysoginistic comments. Jesse/ie does not make those kinds of comments. He really is basically a good boy. He's just got an ego the size of the universe.

No one suspected the current conspiracy.....Ronnie and Russell are working together!!!!! I sure hope someone catches them in time.

Tc99 - that is actually a very reasonable idea! Because how is one lone person in a clique supposed to survive? The HOH comps are a crap-shoot anyway, so I could see them doing it. Look how the first HOH of the season was chosen! Ohhhh Ohhhh--- I hope you're right about this!!

I hate Jesse so that may be why I rhink it is all geared for him to win or to al least make it to the final 4. I can see the producers putting him in and keeping him there for raitings. They may think that we love to hate him so we will watch, me I just hate him, there is no love rhere at all. If he doesn't go soon I will have to.

Maybe it is geared for Jesse to win to stop the lawsuit he has against CBS/BB/AG. If that lawsuit actually exists? Just guessing.

well I thought they had to sign some kind of release! Because then every year some HG could find a reason to cry foul or sue! Jesse didnt loose BB his season because of the one week Dan was the twist! his actions cost him the game! That's would be like Evil Dick's season! heck half the HG could claim the twist cost them the game! So if he wins and we see its because of CBS/BB/AG letting him I am so DUN with it all!

I'm not sure Jessie would or could win the game, or even if that would be good PR for BB. Jessie had his chance and he blew it on his season. I'm not sure anyone would vote for him to win, since he was inserted into the game. It could be considered "unfair". (Since I can't stand the man, I totally think it's unfair he's in the house.)

I can't imagine that they would allow someone who has a pending lawsuit against them to participate in the show. Plus I think they pretty much sign away everything in order to participate. AG may think that Jessie makes a good TV villain who will eventually end up on the losing end much to the general satisfaction of the fans.

I hadn't heard of a lawsuit before. Perhaps the resolution was for him to go back on the show. We need another AC week to vote Jesse out. He needs it flat in his face....AC doesn't want you.

Regarding the theory that Laura knows something only SHE can tell if evicted. Why would only she know this? Why not tell Jordan? This is just a scare tactic she used briefly. I've not heard her speak of it since.

I was wondering if she'd asked bb what would happen when the pop clique was down to just one player and maybe they actually told her but that she couldn't share it?

That makes the most sense to me, wargod. She is good at coming up with hypothetical what-if scenarios and a step ahead of most in the house, she is sharp. So maybe she used her skills of persuasion and underestimation to coax someone in the DR to divulge a thing or two, or at the very least, she could use her analytic skills to read into their reactions and they'd finally just fess up with condition if she told, she'd get penalty nom. I'm not ashamed to say that there have been more than a few quick witted and intelligent women in my life that could read me like a book and always get me to tell a secret or two!

Tc...how could she read their reactions from their voices? She can't see the people that interview her in DR. She can only hear them. I don't think they'd fess up. Not in the second week.

Good point, bee, I totally didn't think about that! That is freaky that they hold diary rooms like that. Must be of psychological import that hg's are hearing these disembodied voices, really gets in their head, easier for them to be swayed or guided. Maybe that lends itself to a more immediate sense of intimacy and connection early on (especially if they got a nice voice!). It's a total power play, because they could read your body language, but you have no way (other than inflection) of reading into their words, or able to take the upper hand in a conversation. There is no necessity of give and take that you would feel with the person in the flesh. Much more like an interrogation or taking orders from authority. I bet when they get out of the show, they freak out when they connect the voice with a body!!! Reminds me of that new reality tv show "Dating in the Dark". Would totally do that in real life.

The DR uses mind control on the hamsters. They are all suffering from Stockholm Syndrome. The DR makes each hamster think that they want that hamster to win and that they are helping them do it. That is how they worm info out of them and then help them work out moves that will make the show more "entertaining".

Besides the old theories that we all talked about, like the DR manipulating them, the houseguests who's working for the producers, the secret twist that is supposed to bring back a player, etc... I still think that my conspiracy theory is that BB is helping out some players... this time was Jeff, but I was happy because I really like the guy. Anyway, I found it a bit suspicious when they bring in those machines to tally the coins, or any machine that mechanically keeps score, who knows who's manning the machine??????? So far I like it, and hopefully another mechanical device will come to the rescue of Jeff....

I don't think Jeff had any help in that comp. He had a strategy, and he used it well. The others were just trying to guess at how many they had, while he counted how many were in a handful, then just tried to get about the same amount in each handful he took.

Every one that I know who has been a fan of Big Brother, they have stopped watching this year. I’m wondering if they put Jessie back in the house so they lose viewers and this will be the last season Big Brother.... that is my Conspiracy Theory..

Remember when it came out that Evel Dick and Danielle had dinner with AG before going into the house. Now, I read that she took Jessie out to dinner before the show. So take that for what it's worth. I have believed since the Evel Dick win that this show is totally influenced by AG.

I think AG gave Jesse three weeks to change America's opinion of him and he blew it. Had he changed his game play and worked on his personality instead of his gunz he may have gotten the power. Oh well.

Last night, Ronnie and Chima were talking about who auditioned for the show and who were handpicked. Did anyone else see this? Chima admitted that she had been picked (not auditioned) and Ronnie said it looked like he and Kevin were the only ones that had auditioned for the show. I kept expecting the camera to leave, but instead, they told Chima to stop talking about production.

What do you think Jesse threw over the wall in the back yard early this morning?

I'm also thinking that the Coup de Taux (or whatever) was pulled out at this point because they saw how disgusted most of the viewing audience was about how things were working. So they were giving us a chance to give our favorite safety and turn this game back in the right direction! But that would be assuming AG actually cares what we think.

I think "conspiracy" when Jesse, who had been moaning about being a 'have not' for two days. not only stops whining but acts like he's not that hungry. Big red flag to me there. What I don't like about production messing with the HG's in the DR is when they make people like Michelle cry by telling her no one likes her. She was telling this in the BY a few nights ago. Some people they build up and bolster (like Ronnie) and others they tear down. I just don't get the production team at all!

In response to Steviegirl, I dont like the fact they pulled out the Coup De'tat because it punishes the players who actually play the game, the Athletes (minus Jeff) were dominating the house, then the fans complain because their favourite player isn't doing well, (his own fault) so they put some dumb "twist" into the game to please the fans? I think it defeats the purpose of the game, at least let the HGs compete for the power.

I don't know, Mcwadel ~ To hand Jesse the power of HOH the first week is what set all the negative behavior in the house in motion. Jesse did NOT earn that power. I agree that this Coup De'tat might not be fair but neither was Jesse coming into the house and being handed HOH. The house guests would have voted him out the first week so the 'unfairness' began at that point.
