My guess it will be a guessing game about what has happened in the house up to this point. Who said what about who, that type of stuff. Right now BB figures they have a 3-1 majority with the girls, who seem to take in details much better than Robert so they probably won't rig it for any certain hg.

It used to ping pong back and forth between good and evil, but now only the evil are eligible. Perhaps now it will go between the evil (Jee and Robert) and the eviler (Jun, Ali and Erika); in that case, Robert would be the expected beneficiary of the next HOH rigging since Ali and Jun are the de facto power holders this week.

None; I don't believe they rig the contests

Over the course of the show I believe they balance out the kinds of contests so that different skills are tested at different times; I don't believe that any one is matched to any week. What happens is that the weeks when those contests match the skills, people go off and say "rigged." I believe that BB does in the DR give hints to provoke controversy, but nothing much more blatant.
On the other hand, I hate Fox for bringing back Zack on Paradise Hotel, and those people I suspect rig all the time.

If it's about the missing items, I think it would have been for Jack, since he was the "observant"... but we haven't a clue if he was really that observant, he never once said anything about other missing items.
Or maybe he knows he's toast...

Robert. The TV editing makes it clear that Robert is Arnie's best buddy. Expect the expected. Robert will win this week's HOH contest.

It would be good if they rigged it for JUN to be HoH. I'd love to see what she does with nominations. Who will she finally be loyal to? Also, how will her personality change when people have to suck up to her, rather than her playing the role of everyone's friend.

Moon can speak to this issue better than I but it will not stop me. :)

The competitions are planned ahead of time and the number of players is taken into consideration for each one. I do not believe they wing or change anything. I am willing to bet these challenges were created before the casting was complete. They have to be built and tested and put in order waaaaaaaaaaaay before they know the personalitites involved.

I don't think they rig them. I do think they plan a variety of styles however. Every style favoring a different set of talents. Wonder what this weeks will be? Does anyone remeber what style final five's was last year?

The Bocci ball was nearly an exact replica of the slidding puck game last year.

From the CBS website, here's the description of the final five HoH competition from last year:

With Marcellas ineligible to win another HoH Competition, Amy, Lisa, Danielle and Jason settle in to play a game called "Freeze-Frame." They are shown a series of video clips that freeze near the end. Julie asks them a multiple-choice question about what happens when the clip resumes. The HouseGuests answer using a triangle with each side marked A, B or C. The last person remaining in the game is the next HoH.

The first video clip is of Gerry's departure from the House, paused just as he's about to open the door. The question is "Before Gerry opened the door to leave after being evicted, he A) blew a kiss. B) Gave a thumbs up. C) Saluted." The answer is B, which Lisa and Amy both get wrong, leaving Danielle and Jason. Question 2 is "While putting on his grass skirt during the Luau Luxury Competition, the next thing Josh said was A) "I know I look good in drag." B) "Tan is not my color." C) "Grass skirts make me itch." The answer is A, but Danielle guesses wrong, giving the HoH power to Jason for the second time.

Here is my imagination running wild:

I am having visions of the ultimate rigged competition. A quiz of some sort.

Julie Chen: Jun. Who was the first houseguest to be evicted from the BB house?

Jun: Ummm....Michelle? (obviously throwing it)

JC: Ding ding!! CORRECT!! Jun you move on.

JC: OK Alison, did you, or did you not, have an ex in the house this season?

Ali: Yes, I did.

JC: WRONG. You are out of the HoH competition.

Ali: But--

JC: I SAID WRONG!! Now go sit down.

JC: OK next HG. Robert, which one of the three members of your Dream Team is no longer in the house?

Robert: Justin.

JC: WRONG. Looks like Jun is the only one with the right answer so far.


And so on, and so on, and so on.....

HOH this week will be either Robert or Allison. (remember, you heard it here first.)

too funny, eeyore!

I'm not sure all the competitions are rigged, but it definitely feels like with the quiz comps that questions are geared towards helping out certain HG's. I'm expecting jun or robert to win HOH this week. (dern it all)

I don't believe they are rigged either. I agree that the HoH contests test different skills, and that they are planned well in advance.

I would love to see Jun win HoH, but I'm betting that Alison will win. I think BB would love it if the three girls made it to the end. Remember the "last three women standing" clip they had just before Nathan was evicted? At the time it was 5 men, 3 women. If Jack goes tomorrow then that would have been 3 male evictions in a row.

I would say Erika. To avenge Jack's departure and to kick out the obnoxious Jee on his rear. BB has spoken, Jee it is time for you to go. Soon, we hope.

I'm with Hamstergal. They will swing it back to Erika to keep up the weekly the pattern and keep it engaging, so to speak.

You know, I keep thinkin' about the HOH competition. I have to wonder if it was rigged, because the little things they used to "buzz in" were little handheld thingys. Could Robert's have been riged to give a 4 second delay, or Jun's was the only one WORKING for the first few questions, to give her a lead?

The more I think about it, they could have had the buzzer in a more obvious setup, like a button on top of their podium or something. I honestly think it was rigged.

I know. This is no real surprise coming from AS.

i laugh every time someone puts which hg the competition will be rigged for. one poster put robert and another put allison. get this, another put allison or robert. considering the few people in the house, i believe everyone has a pretty good chance of being correct. what is going to be funny is the "i told you so. i said it was rigged." i am sure we will hear alot of that if erika goes to the end, considering the josh thing.

i dont think it is rigged, but wouldnt care anyway. its entertainment to me. nothing more, nothing less.

edited: now erikas name is added to which hg it will be rigged for. i bet someone may be right.LOL
