Everybody is free to think what they want and to watch or not watch. The hg probably signed some huge contract that said they(the producers) could manipulate the game any way they wanted. I believe that every year the game is more and more manipulated by the producers in order to get the show talked about more so that they get more viewers. Laughs on them because I don't watch the commercials, so the sponsers are wasting their money on my viewing time.

If Natalie has been allowed to call all the shots for TC, why can't the DR make suggestions too? The Dr is part of the game as well. This may be Adam's HoH but it was clear he had no say while Natalie and Ryan could get to him. For this reason, I think the Dr and BB were very right not to let N/R have one more shot at him.

Needmylifeback, When it cam to the headshaving thing in BB7 that was tilted to the guys.. Only guys participated and the only guys that sat out were Howie and already bald Marcellus.. Funny how none of the girls were chosen and I know long haired Erica and Janelle were not picked because Janelle was the host.. That was the year when they started off spinning the wheel to see who was playing veto and then that week they changed to picking out the balls.

It wasn't clear to me that Adam had no say while Nat and Ryan could get to him. It was clear that he is easily manipulated (or he is an incredible liar). Nat and Ryan had him going for their wishes, but just as quickly, James turned on his blubbering and Adam went with him. Then Ryan turns on the guilt and Adam swings back and beats himself up for being "stupid." It was Adam's HOH, but BB had nothing to do with the flipflopping he did...it was his own inability to make a decision and stick to it.

I don't think the DR can win $500,000, or can they? Natalie is a participant the DR is not.

The BB rules say BB can manipulate the rules. I'm glad. I don't like Natalie.

I haven't read this entire thread and I'm sure there are some very valid points in here. A coworker and I had a discussion about this subject this morning. I wasn't surprised at all. I've known for years that BB manipulates the game. Doesn't bother me.

Mama2olivia, you mentioned several times "TC", here is one of them: "Adam, second guessing his nominations & upon seeing how upset the rest of TC was with him; ..." What is TC? If Mama isn't around, does anyone have a guess what she means by this? I've read the entire thread and I cannot figure it out. Thanks in advance.

How do we know that the DR wasn't telling Adam that it was in his best interest not to put James on the block in order to ensure his eviction? Maybe they feel the same way Adam does and everyone will fighter harder to win the POV?

Maybe they should name the show, "Big Brother Producers Choice- The Evil of Manipulation."

A show where the basis is how much the producers can manipulate players to change the course of their actions would be a real Big Brother. Kind of like we have now except TPTB don't want us to know.

Dallas, there was a parody show a few years ago called Joe Schmoe, it was the ultimate 'reality show' manipulative producers scenario. I loved that show. But that's because it was the PREMISE of that show, and they were open about it to the fans.

Adam has a mind of his own. He didn't need to consult with his group about this decision after all these weeks. I don't buy the whole I was conned by the DR and James mantra. I think he took a calculated risk in keeping James, hoping that James will send one of his own allies to the jury house. If it works he's brilliant; if it doesn't he's made a significant error in judgment.

I think that the producers should just exploit the DR intervention and make it part of the show. I think that is what bugs people the most, that they are led to believe that what they are watching is real, and they are being given a true representation of the thought processes and scheming that is taking place. I think it would be just as entertaining to make "Big Brother" a character as well. Show us the diary room convos and how "He" tries to get them to think about different scenarios. Maybe it would be easier to swallow if we were in on it from the get!
