Some people are better at quizzes some at speed, or accuracy or strength, or endurance. Everyone is differant. Heck they may even have a game that Lawon had the best chance .I think they may possibly tip the scales in someones favour to stir thing up by having a contest that favours their strong points. That being said, they cannot ensure that particular person will win. What we forget is that it is a tv show first , a game second. We would never watch if the same person won each week, they have to mix things up so the audience will stay. Season after season the hamsters have always said that the dr never tells them what to do but puts a lot of what if's in their head, so they are looking at all senerio's. They do that to all contestants so that is fine with me. So no I don't think the game is rigged, I do think the show is manipulated but it doesn't always work. I love no matter what.

Dani mentioned this on the feeds recently when she was talking to Kalia. She said that people on the internet think the game is fixed, but it isn't.

My two cents - I don't think it is completely rigged, but I most certainly think it's manipulated by the producers in the DR.

Exactly Reenie that's why I said "producer influenced". Not "rigged" but influenced.

I think they do their best to influence it in some ways but the houseguests ultimately make their own decisions. LOL - That is why so many of the "twists" turn out so badly. The DR can't make the houseguests do what they want them to do.

Well since it 'seems' obvious Lawon is leaving, it will be interesting what type of challenge BB has them do. If it's something favourable to Lawon or the returning HG.

I think it's fixed because so far only Jeff said "Maybe they'll have one of the evicted compete against Rachel or Lawon to come back". That was too smart for Jeff to guess it. Sure, he still shows that he's not sure of what is going on but the DR influence was surely there for Jeff.

If that is true Spunky, then they also gave that information to Adam, Rachel, Dani and Kalia, since they too came of with basically the same idea. I think if you have watched past seasons you probably could take a lot of clues and use them to come up with the same or a very close idea of what is going to happen. It's no different than coming close to what kind of challenge they are going to have, based on when and where they have fit into past seasons.

throughout all the seasons the HGs invariably slip up and mention some suggestion that was given to them in the diary room. Of course it is fixed, it is fixed so that they can keep things hopping. I dont think the competitions are fixed, other than some competitions are geared towards some HGs strengths.

I had the impression that all of them know one evicted comes back but don't know exactly how. Jeff nailed it, all by himself? Why did he say, ONE evicted fights off Rachel or Lawon, how did he come to that ONE. He didn't mention America's vote but why ONE? They know that one evicted comes back but maybe they think the 4 evicted would have to fight it off first or all of them fight it off (including Rachel or Lawon) but don't know that America has chosen that ONE to fight off against the one evicted on Thursday. And Lawon believes he'll be back as HOH!! LOL Anyway, this thread is like the 'conspiracy' thread, it's fun to come up with all sorts of conspiracies the way we see them...

Mmmmmm, I may agree with you, this is too blatant, all polls showed Cassi and here we have Brendon, not even Dom, and so we have Brenchel again!! Unbelievable!!!

I was done watching after the 1st episode and I'm really sorry to read tonight that they continue to shove these people down your throats. BTW ~ Expedition Impossible on ABC is great and there are some good shows on cable as well this summer. Think about it, folks.

DONE,DONE, DONE.....DDDDUUUUNNNNN. This show has become a scripted show, not a reality show. Allison is going to regret this when so many people write to CBS and tell her that we know it is fixed and the ratings drop.I knew it was fixed when the voting site never would work and kept giving that bogus message. DONE. PERIOD!!! Fan since BB1 and now BB13 ruined it for me.

I think it is scripted to a point. I have a really hard time believing that anyone who has watched this show could go into the house and make some of the moves that have been made....without a script. Every forum I have seen listed Cassie and Dom as leading...but aha...who walks back in???? Now we can watch the lovebirds hang all over each other...bully the other players when they don't agree with their every word...I'm over it. I like the aspect of this being a game...but it doesn't seem like that anymore. It is so one sided. I'm not a big fan of anyone in the house so it's not that I like one player over another. I just like the competition and game playing. But it appears a winner was picked (at least the final 4) before anyone entered the house. I agree with Kappy...Expedition Impossible is amazing and so are several other shows. My Big Brother passion has ended. The best part of the show is this forum!! I shall miss this part.

It's absolutely rigged, and if you can't see that, you're really being duped. You want evidence? How many couples knew each other coming before into the house? 3 - THE GUINEA PIGS! If you don't know what I am talking about, then you can't say the show isn't rigged. It just is. It's Big Brother.

Sagg, there are 2 reasons that I think Brendon DID get voted in. First a lot of people split votes between Cassi & Dom. Second a lot people were upset with Dani and Kalia, and felt that Brendon was the best to put in to go against them.

I wonder how different the game would have been if the other houseguests were not sitting there watching so Rachel could not have kept track of the names Brendon needed. He didn't even have to think, just grab the color Rachel screamed out.

I have always liked to believe the show wasnt rigged but after tonight I am 100 percent sure it is, I do not believe for a minute Brendon had the highest votes, not for one minute. I so hope this is the last year of BB, if not I hope I can get over it by next year. LOL I dont hate any of the houseguests but I dont like reality shows that are totally rigged.

Hmmm not happy having to watch Brenchel together once again and do think certain things are manipulated .... gosh I even have a sneaky feeling DR had something to do with Shelley trying to get Kalia to put up one of her own alliance ... but that`s me - very cynical person However the newbies are so weak in this game and appear to be doing their very best to help J/J get to the final 2 at least B/R will give them some sort of competition when the time is right.
