That would be a good way to raise incentive...

I also thought HG's should be fined when they did things that were really against the rules...

Like singing so the feeds would go off...

Refusing to stay on slop...stuff like that.

Money is the motivator!!

I too enjoyed watching Dick - he is the reason this board was lit up - liked him or not, this board was rocking that season becasue of him- its not like he acted on any of his words.

I agree with Costacat, Lostfan, and Holly! It was a sad day when Evel Dick left the house this season. The season is a snooze now. Boo.

why ? because fans wanted to know who he was going to "go after" this season?

i have seen lots of posts in various sites stating ED was missed. But not once did i see Any reasons OTHER then they wanted him to attack people personally. even here at TVCH i've seen people posting how it would have been great to see ED 'Go after' rachel or Shelley.

once again, I gotta wonder WHY? some people find that so 'exciting'. It bored me.

Hell, it would be better than watching timid, fearful, chain-smoking Adam any day of the week. At least you know Dick's alive. I have absolutely NO respect for that sad wanna-be, Adam. He's too pathetic for words. And as for his Tori Spelling crush and knowing everything about her character on 90210--just wow, I'm beyond embarrassed for him. Can you tell I cringe at girly men?

Now having said that, I couldn't stand Dick on his season, and I hated how he bullied Jen. But at least he didn't put me to sleep!

If I had a choice, I would rather have boring, chain-smoking Adam than feel sick to my stomach, which is how Dick made me feel whenever he was on the screen.

The things that Dick said were appalling. I found Dick interesting in some ways but I can't get past what he said. And because he said some of it while he was alone I find it hard to see that it was some part of playing a game.

actually all this does is Prove that AG can try to Control things but you CANT control the People and whether they choke.

I really thought Jordan was going to win This HOH, but adam pulled it off.

but I wont rehash repost my prev posts ad nauseum. I'm sure everyone is as tired of it as I.

Pamy of COURSE it will! It happens EVERY YEAR, LOLZ People get wrapped up, just go with it I say. That is one thing that Dani knew and Jeff still doesn't know is that the game changes week to week and you got to play with the cards you are dealt. You have to be fluid in your decisions. Evel Dick told the vets day 1 that they all wouldn't make it to the end together. It just would never happen.

That is why Rachel is doing better she FINALLY got it!

I doubt that AG cares that much about who wins, but I'm convinced that she wants the most volatile people to stay to stir the pot for ratings.

I think AG pushed things in certain directions but as Sunshyne said, there are limits to what she can do. Basically, she just tries to keep things interesting. That's okay by me.

Manipulated? Possibly and seems quite likely.
Fixed? No.
Fixed would be like in the Clown Shoe comp if Jeff was the only one who actually had both shoes in the ball bin so he would win. There wasn't any fixing.
Were some things slanted to a HG or another though? It sure seemed that way at times.

What I'd like to know is, were did all the conspiracy theorists go who had been saying all season that AG was slanting the game so Jeff or Jordan would win? Kinda hard for them to win while in the Jury House.

I wouldn't be surprised if Jordan won America's Vote, but she didn't earn it this year.

Isn't the vote for "America's Favorite Houseguest" and not "Best Player"? My favorite houseguest is Jordan.

+Letting the couples run the house the entire game is proof enough for me- happens every year.

The couples could not have run the house the entire game, since there have been no couples in the house since Jeff left.

We have 2 newbies in the F3. No couples.

If Jordan is America's Favorite, then she earned it.

Yes, I definitely think it is. Not perfectly fixed, but somewhat. Too many coincidences. I think the "Big Brother" aspect of the show is actually the producers with the audience.

What I mean is that every year the couples are allowed to stay for the majority of the game. No couple partner should even be in f4.

Well the game isnt over and I dont see any couples in there - and there haven been in a while - so that doesnt add up to me-

There were 2 ladies in f4 that were part of couples. There is still one. BB should put a stop to this couple rule that seems to dominate the house each year.

There were an equal amount of newbies and vets in the F4.

I do agree that BB should not ever put pre-alliances in the house. Every time they try that, we have an inferior season.

And there`s a fair chance their evicted partners were/are working the jury.

Agree with not have pre-alliances in the house.
I dislike knowing `certainties` in the game, love the suspense of not knowing who`ll turn on who etc etc.,
