I agree Falcon. BB is always a little manipulated I think, but not in an obvious way like trusting JULIE FREAKING CHEN to fix the answers for a Natalie win. That bitch couldn't pull that off on LIVE TV! When BB rigs the game, it's usually like "Oh Janelle is nominated this week? Ok, we'll either have a Who-Wants-It-The-Most type POV comp which ALWAYS favors one of the nominees OR...Trivia. The bitch is good at Trivia." I loved Janelle but notice how when she was on the block she never got one of those random POV comps that didn't play to any of her strengths? Like the one where they had to untangle and navigate themselves through knots in a large rope, the one that Erika (a much more versatile player) succeeded at? And last season the entire game was like TEN different shades of crooked in favor of the Donatos, and ok, having a BLOOD RELATIVE play in the game with you was kind of an obvious "rig" but the producers could still slip out of that trap by claiming, "Hey, they were a target from Day 1 being father and daughter. It's not our fault most of the houseguests were too stupid to split them up early on." No, the producers allowed the live HOH comps to play out fairly and instead used Eric to carry out their legalized rigging (it's called America's Twist people! It's OK!) and of course, cajoling impressionable houseguests in the Diary Room to vote a certain way (which seems to happen every season).
Anyway, my point is it's obvious but not TOO obvious, nothing they can be held accountable for. No, Julie and the Rigged Questions is a band that never plays LIVE on BB night.
If anything, this HOH election crap (the themes are always totally superfluous and dont' even disguise the fact that most of the comps are just boring Q&A's) was one of those bogus comps where it's just guesswork and having the mindset of most Americans (i.e. childish, naive and unyieldingly stupid) probably helped Natalie to guess how "most Americans" would answer those questions. Remember, Chicken George won this similar comp during All Stars (his only HOH win), so it clearly favors a moron. So basically Chicken George and Natalie -- who are even less intelligent even than the average BB contestant! -- can get inside America's head. What does that say? That the average American is dumber than the average BB player? Pretty scary.
I feel like I've been voted out of the House and sequestered in some dreary reality.
