I figured I'd start a new thread for the conspiracy theories we've been discussing on the Coup board. (I hope there isn't already a thread...if there is, please let me know and feel free to remove this one)

My husband has thought BB was scripted and "fixed" for years now. I cannot bring myself to believe that because I love the show and watching "real" people live and play this game.

Although this season has given me many reasons to believe the producers "enhance" competitions, DR sessions, etc.

What are your theories?

Some of the TV show may be scripted. The feeds are flamingly edited.

BB is at least in part a game show. I highly doubt it's "fixed"

Welcome to the clubhouse :-)

Kep, can I just say how much I that to happen. OMG, it would make my day to watch the HGs <el> have a complete total meltdown.

Meanwhile, Janie will be in the bed just chillin' reading her bible or talking to Howie like everything is status quo.

How did Boogie know about the Coup d'etat 2 months before BB announced it?

He may have known the puzzle already and waited long enough as to not make the others suspicious but even before seeing the reaper he rang the bell telling the right clue in the DR.

Sounds and seems fishy to me...

lol........I just had a WONDERFUL thought. What if WIll and Mike were told if they stay in the game past the halfway mark they won a large sum of money. At that point they could win the Coup d'etat and remove themselves from the game. Well!!!!! A girl can dream.

THAT is a wonderful suggestion Cmist! The winner of the coup d'etat can either use it, or take a lump sum and leave. I like it! Especially if it's Boogie!

I think a lot of people thought of Boogie's guess before he did.

There's not a prayer this BB is "fixed" believe me. CBS Legal Dept/Clearances has final say and they are super cautious, particularly on a show where there is "big money" as a prize. This is also the reason they had to redo the HOH last week.

Yes, it is partially scripted. Years ago someone with a relative who worked on the show at the time let the cat out of the bag. They proved it by telling what was going to happened in a long competition before it happened. It turned out just like he said.

Just for the record, we haven't seen Boogies guess in the Diary Room yet, so the above that says that he knew and got it before the last clue is based on what Boogie has said and we all know that Boogie is not a fountain of honesty, with the other houseguests.

Game is not fixed, but they do give suggestions by their questions in the DR, no doubt.

Web, just once I'd like to hear the questions or propmpts that HG are asked/told when answering questions and telling stories in DR sessions. They should do a BB DVD and include that as "extra" footage. Of course, BB would edit it to thier full advantage! lol

I'm convinced if Janie wins the Coup, it's fixed. (I'm ALL FOR JANIE!!!) Although, we're not sure what her answer was, right?

I love Thursdays!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didn't we see Boogie's answer on Tuesday's show? He said "Reap what you sow." We haven't seen Janie's though.

Kitt - I don't recall seeing Boogie answer, but if he did say "reap what you sow"..he would get it wrong, since it should be : YOU reap what you sow.

I don't think they showed the diary room for boogie saying his guess. They didn't show the third clue "grim reaper" on the show and he guessed it after he saw it.

What I really want to see is where Janie was when the grim reaper appeared. Like most houseguests she likes to hang out in the HOH room basking in the glory of being Queen/king for a week.

Since I'm one of those that isn't blinded by the blonde bombshell, I'm hoping that her hanging out in the HOH room caused her to miss the last clue long enough for boogie to get it.

If they didn't show it on tv that's a very bad sign because clearly I'm hallucinating Boogie. Hallucinating Will might be acceptable, but Boogie? Shame on me.

They DID play Boogie's guess in the DR on the show. They didn't show Janelle, Marcellas, or Will guessing.

Kitt,

I was wrong...guess he did guess it before the reaper came in.

My conspiracy theory at the moment is that so many live feed watchers know Mike blabbed about his power that CBS could never let him use it. Instead they gave him an HOH.

Blech!!

Oh that's a good one, I like that! That way they don't have to address the problem.
