and it looks like Adam told Porsche that he heard a voice in the HOH when she was locked in, "it's up to you if you want to take the money", so she was indeed enticed with the money... they did tell her there was money in there for her if she opened the box, BB knew she didn't like to open the box and so the money made her greedy and voila ! It's all Porsche's fault.. (she bragged about earning a lot of money with her job but seems to me she needs it badly... )

I haven't noticed anyone being real upset with her. In fact, seems like J and R wanted to throw her a party. S and A don't seem to get how much jeopardy her greediness put them in although in P's own words (along with her sidekick)... it didn't hurt us at all, in fact, it may have helped...

In BB8, Day 22, the POV comp was endurance. The players were dressed as Mad Hatters and had to stand on a pedestal with a glass balanced on their hat. The other houseguests tried to distract them. Last one standing without the glass tipping over won POV. Jen won over Dick.

But it's still comes down to who or what made Porsche open the Box, according to what i remember P saying, since there was almost nothing from her dad in the HOH room and no DAD letter, she thought her dad MIGHT be there/ you know, like Nat got a visit from her Fiance'?

I think they want a vet vs newbe for the final two. So they are setting it up that way. As long as Shelly is in the jury the vet will win with at least four votes. End of season we can all get on with our lives now.

Don`t know much about PB in the game - just remember K opening it and the other hgs scrambling around for money. Has it ever entailed changing the outcome of the game ? who`s on the block etc?

Not necessarily, Pippin. Dani is a VINO. Vet In Name Only. lol... no way she's voting a vet over one of her girls.

Tissy, I believe last year, Matt received the Diamond POV in a Pandora's Box. If I am wrong, someone please correct me. ETA: Just went back and checked, and yes, Matt received it in PB.

If they were trying to fix it to be boreing they definetly fixed it. All the fun people are gone and we are left watching the biggest duds in BB history.

Tissy, yes he was HOH and opened the box, and got the Diamond Veto. He lied and told everyone he got a piddly amount of money...he used an old money card from the first comp to show everyone.

spear, the only reason jen won, is because dick jumped off the pedestal. that was the demise of mike. dick was doing a great job and could have held out longer.

They should start BB with all big personalities and then watch the fur fly.

I'm down with that, Ophilia! Fixed for Rachel? On my planet, the deck's been stacked against her over and over again. Like winning veto for her AND Jordan or she was toast. lol

I'm not really one for conspiracy theories, but I call a possible foul on the Pandora's Box. I think BB had it as an option this year, and thought they'd use it if and when they could make the game more exciting - not to save a particular person/couple, but to make (what they consider) the game better viewing. Why I think that is because it's stretching it to bring back the pairs thing now, it's a week or two too late. The last time to go back to pairs should have been with one more person so it's the HOH plus six or more people. That way one pair is nominated, another pair can take the nominated pair off the block, and there would be a third pair to put up in their place. As it stands now, if Shelly or Adam had won veto BB would have had to rewrite the rules so that S and A couldn't take R and J off the block without going up themselves. So I think BB were waiting on Pandora's Box to use when convenient for them, and now, finally, is the time, even though they have to fudge the rules a bit to do it.

good call Kitt. But i think we ALL know, especially the producers, that INVENTING an endurance for POV would rule out Shelley Adam due to their physiques. It was 100% rachel's to win. Wide shoulders, narrow hip...compared to everyone else = bottomheavy/ obese/ bad back.

"But i think we ALL know, especially the producers, that INVENTING an endurance for POV would rule out Shelley Adam due to their physiques. Sorry...but not "ALL"of us believe in that conspiracy theory. Some of us like to speak for ourselves, rather than be lumped together as conspiracy theorists. I certainly don't "know" that the producers 'invented" an endurance for POV, especially since there has been an endurance POV challenge in a past season.

Well, the skiing comp was endurance, and I think we had at least another in there. It'll be interesting to see what this comp for POV was. One can never tell who is the most fit and who isn't IMO. I've seen a lot of people who workout like mad and appear to look it, but they don't have the stamina to do things others can do with less physical strength or exercise history. Either way, we already know this was made for Rachel. Jordan said so in the storage room. It was hers to lose.

since you've picked on my wording yet again, let me ask you Sanfran..... Was that Comp equal for all contestants based on Body shape/weight of the contestants? When they are developing/ inventing a new competition, why wouldnt it be called "inventing"? they have to invent the concept and develop the plans before building it. if you were producer, would you consider- oh i dont know, a holding/Hanging Full bodyweight comp fairer then a Sitting on a disc or Standing on a Pole holding button comp which is fair for all sizes and weights? i think its absolutely hilarious that my light hearted observations are Misrepresented as Conspiracy LOL its called plot development and Storyline editing. IF they can do it, I can guess at it too. the "us" i'm referring to are the ones here having FUN discussing stuff, not nitpicking I'm really looking forward to seeing this comp. It sounds really hard.

Any endurance competition is not going to be "equal" for all contestants...ever. That's just common sense. IMO, the difference between discussing stuff and nitpicking is in the eye of the reader.

What I don't understand is why its a big deal if the plot lines and story editing are planned and manipulated by the producers. This is Big Brother. By its very name, it implies lives controlled and manipulated, and futures predetermined by an unseen presence. Anyone playing should fully realize that is part of the game!! Do I think the PTB change the game to suit their whims? I believe its possible, maybe even probable. Do I think the PTB change the game to further any specific person so they will win? No, not really. I think they do try to keep certain players for drama and game upsets/twists, but I do not believe they have a final winner in mind...because if that were true, Maggie would never have won. Personally, because human beings are so unpredictable, I don't think the PTB are always successful in their attempts to "direct" the game. But their intrusions into the game add a layer of unpredictability itself, especially for the house guests...and that's what I like. BB keeps them on their toes!!! I'm enjoying this year alot, mostly because the house power keeps flipping sides. I don't enjoy games where the power lands on one side and it stays there all season...BORING!!
