Jeff played in this competition in his season, and he lost to Kevin. [...] Wasn't Jeff the outgoing HOH and thus ineligible for that competition?

I think the rigging, if any, is more like...if the person(s) they want to keep is more physical, then the next competition is more physical. If the person is more mental, the next competition is a puzzle or something.

ITA Darrell. I think TPTB kinda stack the deck, and then it's up to the hamsters to fight it out.

I assume if the person you want to win happens to win then there is NO FIX.

There really has been more complaining about rigging by fans this year than there has been actual rigging. Every time someone wins something a certain group of fans go ballistic. Depending on who they like and who they hate etc. I hated Season 8 with it's fake enemy twist and America's Player. That entire season was rigged. So before folks start calling RIGGED. They need to think back to the season where every week Production meddled in the show in order to get the scripted outcome they wanted.

<99> A question to the folks that feel there is rigging can you give us who don't feel Jeff's latest HOH win was rigged an answer to this question... Why would these other people in the competition compliment Jeff's win if BB was tipping his bowl with more liquid during trivia breaks? It's very unbelievable that people wanting to win 500k would all go along with a fake comp, give fake compliments about how well Jeff did so BB can "give" Jeff an HOH. Happens to us all, we all want to post something and have folks say yes you're right I agree and it is disappointing to be the only one to have a certain viewpoint.

if BB was tipping his bowl with more liquid during trivia breaks? no one said that in any posts I've seen. my comment - i can list at least four ways this could have easily been geared for one player regardless of their speed or quantity put in Bowl. guess i better put that concept in BOLD cause its being misread. easily been geared for i truly dont give two hoots if people are unable to follow my logic, that doesnt bother me at all. Just like i'd never assume anyone else has my Measuring cups, which i have to check volume EACH time because they are so similar in size. I dont post for any sense of personal gratification and dont care if anyone agrees. I'm super observant and sometimes when i see one thing on one contestants side that is different, Like Lawon's rim on his hole, I share it. whether anyone chooses to awknowledge the possibility it "could be" geared towards a certain HGs, its their perogitive. Allow me my fun too eh?? after all, in past similar comps the HGS were given a couple of Vessels to carry fluid in ....because it is really easy to drop and cant find in all that suds. I sometimes think people forget the nuances of what we know from the past comps.

The problem with the theory that Jeff's cup was bigger and so he would need fewer trips to fill his bowl is that live feed watchers observed Jeff making more (not fewer) trips back and forth. So he would have won regardless. Before the competition began, some people theorized that it would favor Rachel and Porsche because they were waitresses. They also suggested that smokers would be at a disadvantage. Good ideas but Jeff proved to be the stronger competitor. Same thing with the skiing where there was the theory that it favored taller people who wouldn't need to bend their arms as much. Yet the best players were Dani and Kalia.

Looking forward to reading all the posts that will say that the comp was rigged for Jeff.

posted hours ago - I think Jeff or jordan will win it so They Hold the ultimate power this was posted since everyone where I was Claimed it was rigged for Dani. i knew it wouldnt be. It wouldnt make sense for the scripted plotline. *** I see your point Jimmer but I do stand by my 'OBSERVANCE' that the taller people were having LESS movement and LESS problems holding on. However, they ALL jumped one at a time becasue they wanted a chance at that money. The only person that I think legitimately Fell was Shelley. the others all decided to jump

my point, caprica, is when some of us can predict IN ADVANCE who will win, before we even SEE the Comp, then something stinks in Denmark

Not to put pressure on you Sun but for fun what then is your prediction for the rest of the week according to the script? Will Jeff use the POV and who will be voted out?

No one threw it. They all said they sucked at the puzzle. Jeff has always been good at puzzles.

but frankly, challenging and 'making fun' is getting a bit tiresome, especially when I see myself referred to in other threads. jimmer, will not predict that Until i SEE the POV comp. then I'll know. Besides, three days ago ( elsewhere) when Jeff won HOH I already posted what is going to happen. I'll be SHOCKED if it doesnt go down that way LOL. every week I cross my fingers.

LOL I agree Caprica every year it starts about it being Fixed, I do think The diary room may plant ideas in there heads, but I don't think they fix it for a certain person to win! If they did Jani would have won her season Etc Etc IMOP. Of course if the one I want to win doesn't then G nabbit I want a rematch LOL, I want My Banana man to come back and win LOL

Sure. You can bet that the DR put enormous pressure on that woman (I can't remember her name) who broke her agreement and nominated Kaysar but she went ahead and did it anyway. I'm sure they didn't want Janelle to vote out Dr. Will but she did that anyway and they ended up with a final two of Boogie and Erika (ouch!!!). Yes the DR can try to influence but it is ultimately the houseguest's decision.
