NO matter what the counts were, there was no way for BB to control what numbers the individual HGs wrote down. During the show, when it showed each pile of things to be counted, I hit "pause" for about 30 seconds and made my own estimate....I got within 20-30 of the actual number on three different answers! If I had been playing in the competition and (depending on how bad the other HGs were estimating the items), *I* could have possibly won that challenge! I think the HGs estimated the number of items just like I did and some were just much worse at it than others. "I think Jeff, Jordan, Brendan, Rachel, Shelly, Adam all getting eliminated one right after the other" I think they were more intent on their fear of not winning than they were on the number of items. They all psyched themselves out. Those vets won the first 3 HOH and then they expected to win the rest. They just blew it....no rigging here.

I think it's safe to say they can rig any comp. They could easily provide the numbers to a HG if they wanted. Anything is possible.

They could have but Dani won and her early guesses were way off. The only thing that saved her was some of the others made even worse guesses. There would be no way for Dani or BB to know the others would guess so poorly and she could easily have been eliminated early on.

So true, Jimmer. In fact, when I was watching it, I posted in the show thread that Dani would have been out in the first round, except for the fact that Rachel's answer was way off.

i've recently read that dani's boyfriend is in production and is giving her info thru the DR. i am not suggesting cheating for actual answers/ more like she is being made aware of which comps are coming and what to study/ how to prepare

Sunshyne I think they already know what comps are coming because the recycle the same ones every year. From what I read Dani had a crush on one of the diary room people, but she doesn't have a boyfriend. That is just what the other house guests are calling him. In fact she's had a friends with benefits arrangement with the guy from Survivor for the last 7 months from what she has said in the house.

The only way I can see to rig this game is either tell them the answers or make sure the person you want to win doesn't answer any sooner than third, that way they can put their answer somewhere in the middle without being high or low.

I don't mean to be rude but just because you read or hear things does not make it true. The rig is not in for Dani if it were Brendon would have never come back in the house it would have been Dom. Dom and Dani with there help of Porsche and Kalia would have made short work of the rest of the house. . Brendon going thru the revolving door is a little fishy but probably not rigged.

darn it, i posted somewhere here that jeff would be GIVEN this hoh. Both times the Cams went to trivia, jeffs level came up way more then plausible. Pics also show everyone equal then after no more than a min or so of trivia, he's up over an inch and here comes the double eviction too. JUst in time for a special power.....

I was watching, and he was actually going faster than both Rachel and Porsche on both sides of him. For every two fills they did, he would get 3 in. That's how he won.

After the soap reaches halfway up those spherical bowls, the level of the soap will rise faster and faster until the end, even if the player isn't moving any faster. No way this one was rigged.

I think Sanfranjoshfan is in on the fix. He is here to do damage control. Example...... Every time someone comes up with some kind of fix, he is reasonable and logical and nixes the idea. Totally a fix.

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. BUT alas, it would fall on deaf ears ( or the online equivalent pertaining to reading ) what i'll finish with is that The hard fact that levels were equal then suddenly he pulls ahead fast, is unlikely when its like a two gallon bowl and the measuring cup looked to be around a 1/2 cup size...or was it?? would be very easy for one player to have 1/2 and the others 1/3. they look almost exactly the same size to the naked eye, I have to recheck mine each time I bake. that alone would mean 2 trips = 1 cup volume compared to THREE trips to get 1 cup. two gallons = 32 cups which could either be 64 trips OR 96 trips depending on size of transfer vessel. anyways, No proof other then pics of the levels pre and post trivia AND the hard fact that jeff's levels were clearly 1/3 more then eveyrone else's.

Soap suds itself not fixed but selection of comp more than likely selected with one particular player in mind. The voting....well that is another thing...perhaps we all voted at last minute for brendon to see the train wreck one last time but I suspect the drama that is brenchel seemed unfinished to bb and well who knows what happened

So all the other houseguests are a part of this conspiracy? Right - during trivia, the PA's came out and filled Jeffs bowl so he would be ahead - and told all other players to just pretend they didnt see that- haha Yeah okay- Thats what MUST have happened- It had NOTHING to do with the fact that maybe Jeff was just more physically in shape to run this? I wanted Shelly to win this! but oh well

Even if Jeff's cup was bigger it wouldn't mean he would suddenly gain a bunch of liquid in his bowl during a trivia break as you described. He would be consistently ahead. At one point live feed viewers reported Jeff making three trips for every two of the other competitors. So it's not hard to figure out why he won.

Porsche particularily and Shelly as well as the other houseguests have talked about Jeff lapping them, if it were fixed they'd see it and be complaining not saying how well Jeff did. Dislike the gamers all you want but don't claim every victory is fixed that's just sour grapes and after awhile it makes any statement or opinion you give seem disingenuous.

The purple food coloring had special taking-up-space bubble enhancers in it. All kidding aside, they simply present a comp where Jeff (being in better shape then most) would have an edge. They can't do anything that requires spelling or thinking because then both J&& would lose.

As soon as this HOH started, I was 100% certain Jeff would win. There was no doubt. But that doesn't mean that it is rigged. Whenever they did this competition, there was going to be a very limited number of people that could win it (if they tried). That doesn't mean they should never do this type of comp. There are several HOH comps that certain people will never win. As for the previous comp, I saw Kalia opening an envelope before reading the answers, so I believe the answers were sealed before the competition. No rigging there. Don't get me wrong.. Big Brother is obviously rigged, but if you see rigging where it doesn't exist, you weaken your argument. The guinea pigs question in season 9... THAT'S rigging. The vote totals that don't add up is the most likely instance of rigging this season, especially if Rachel really said what is reported about Alison promising all vets would make sequester.

Jeff played in this competition in his season, and he lost to Kevin. When talking to Rachel last night, he said that she helped him win the comp because she was setting a good pace and he knew he had to go faster than her. Also, we know that Porsche fell at least once, and Jeff didn't fall, so that also gave him a lead on her.

Oh, so Rachel is taking credit for Jeff winning - she is just trying to save face becaseu she DIDNT win - if anyone was setting the pace for him to win was Porsceh - she was neck and neck with him in beginning- not rachel I'm glad Brendon was gone- becasue I think he could have easley won this with his long legs and he isnt a smoker like jeff -
