Integrity of the game:

DR telling Jen that Dani is going to backdoor her and to go tell her not to.

DR telling Dani that she shouldn't backdoor Jen.

DR telling Jen to break some rules so that they can give her a penalty nomination so the other HG's think of evicting Jameka.

That's integrity in my book.

in-teg-ri-ty n.
-Steadfast adherence to a strict moral or ethical code.
-The state of being unimpaired; soundness.
-The quality or condition of being whole or undivided; completeness.

Since this is Alice in Wonderland, where up is down, I guess there is integrity in the house. And here I thought BB+integrity=oxymoron.

Non-integrity:

Breaking the rules that you have read and reread.

Thumbing your nose at the contract you signed (and practically memorized before you signed).

Being a really, really sore loser.

Pathetic game integrity.

BB DR telling Jen she has a penalty Nom for next week and then changing their mind when Dick and Zach decide to keep her.

Jen's gameplay has been compromised. She was allowed to destroy cigs all along yet suddenly Now it isnt allowed??

I personally find this whole season is compromised because of the lack of accountibility in the AP voting system. What are the numbers? we never know for sure what the vote was and how close the votes were.

worse of all, Suspicious results have us all questioning whether our votes even count or whether BB is just using it for their own Plotline formations

I think Dick repeated the word "integrity" after hearing it from Eric. I don't think he knows the meaning of it.

They're all out to lunch if they think this game has any integrity. What a laugh!!

Well....The DR HAS made them ALL do things that they didn't want to do....

CBS has NO integrity! Greed is a terrible thing! (Ratings, etc.)

I don't believe that CayCaye....The DR may have influenced, manipulated and cajoled...but in the end the HG's can still do what they want...except for Eric.

Eric is the only one in that house who HAS to do what the DR tells him.

TA Kep.....

But, I truly feel that MOST people in a BB house situation, and nothing to go by, but what the DR tells you, and NO ONE you can really trust....that you would pretty much go along with the way the DR is "leaning"....just out of self-preservation....because NO ONE trusts their instincts in that house, because there is so much deceit.....THAT's why the DR is guilty of "tampering" with the outcome of this show, because they should have NO influence over the HGs choices....just the AC.....just saying....

I gotcha Caycaye... and agree only about 90%...because I believe BB should be able to "tamper"... that's the premise of BB...a utopia "controlled" by an unseen force (or in the book 1984, an all controlling government).

The fact that the DR MADE Jen destroy Dick's ciggies, break the slop rule, etc. is not an accurate statement.

Dick may act like an A-Hole...but he owns his actions....and doesn't blame others for what he does...he takes responsibility for himself...

Jen views herself as this beautiful person who only does wrong when misled by the "non-beautiful" ones...that is when she even takes the time to consider anyone other than herself...

I cannot believe that Eric can sit in front of the group and repeat the words "sanctity and integrity of the game" with a straight face. I mean seriously, who has had moreof an edge, information wise,than he. WHo has had a chance to earn more money than he. I understand that is his role but he also gets to use these "gleanings" of information to influence others. Now that's preserving the integrity of the game. In actuality, his role is to subvert the integrity of the game.

I never think of BB, the show as having integrity. I see it as a mind game played on the people that sign up.TPTB manipulate and basically mess with the minds of the HG. No inkling of integrity. They obviously have favorites and often times they aren't my favorites. It's not a game show and doesn't have any real steadfast rules. TPTB can change any rule impli4d rule at anytime. Just like writers of other shows can change plotlines or fire people at will.

I don't mind all the inteference (for lack of a better word) that BB does in hopes to influence the game. It's up to the HG to figure out why things are said or ordered by BB.

As far as Eric having an advantage I see it as he's got more of a disadvantage than the other way around. His game would have been very different had he ever had a chance to vote. Americas votes, especially early on screwes him up a bit. TPTB, I think, picked an excellent person for the job.

I can't see any of the other HG doing as good of a job. I so happy he's already got 20K in his pocket and hopefully more to come. That's the least TPTB could coax him with because he's had to play so different than he probably intended to.

For integrity I watch the animal channel.

As far as I can see, Jen was the only one in that house with Integrity. :-)

Hope she walks out of that house with her head held high and not give 1 person a Hug.

Jen's favorite friend is Jen. I am sure she will be just fine. And I am sure the others will get along well without her friendship.

With friends like them...who needs enemies. :-) It will be fun watching them get the same treatment they gave Jen...and trust me...they will.

Sadly, Big Brother's (and CBS's)interpretation of integrity is translated to r-a-t-i-n-g-s. Anthing goes.

I'm sure Jen will walk out the door, head held high. Its the only way to get her nose in the right position, up in the air....

As far as hugs go, I think the entire house will be thankful she doesn't and heads straight for the door...

I thought last night on the tv show it said Eric had made $30,000 so far as AP. Did I make a mistake?
