Do you think the HoH competition was rigged?


I am feeling like I am in the minority here, but I don't feel like it was rigged.

All that happened by Ryan getting the last question right (About the preexisting relationship) was to tie Sharon. He then had to beat her on a numbers question tie-breaker and there was no guarantee that that was going to happen.

Adam has said he was just guessing. If you don't believe that then do you also not believe Sharon's excuse for missing the tie-breaker by almost 400 minutes?

I just don't think the fix was/is in. Not this round anyways.

I just think that Julie was faked out by the question too, I mean I thought Sharon won it, at first I thought alot of these questions were aimed toward her with them being questions involving her allience.

I think Sharon got screwed with these trick questions, but Im happy that Ryan won, he or Adam have to win this game.

Erin said...

I don't think it was rigged, it was just a lame question and Sharon choked when she should have won. Ryan won it fair. (I did wonder if Adam was almost throwing it at one point though...) Either way, the boys are safe which will make Sheila DIE inside!!

I don't think it was rigged, but I definitely think it was some bs! I am still holding out hope for the POV competition, this sucks though! I reeeeally wanted to see Ryan follow Natalie into sequester! This is interesting though...I can't want to see what happens honestly with Ryan having an alliance with both Adam and Sharon!

Longest. pause. ever. but I heard cards shuffling (or something), which is fishy..but I don't think it was rigged. As the final question, it's understandable that it would be the trickiest to throw them off.

Ahhh no offense but are you guys slow? Of course the fix was in! The reason for the pause was because Julie wasn't sure whether to say yes or no to the question herself. Obviously the producers said...ok if x person answers this we say the Gpigs are the relationship...if person x answers this...no there is no relationship. It was dumb luck that it came down to that question but the producers always leave a little wiggle room mold if they need to mold...nah what I mean?

it was definitely fixed, alot of crap this season has been fixed...eh

Definitely fixed. Agreed with who said the delay was due to producers determine which pre-determined answer was to be given as "correct".

Sharon's number guess was just about inline with if it was for one person. It's as though she misunderstood and did duration rather than combined (3x) duration.

I do recall that the last time this set was brought out (pretty sure last season.. we've seen this recycled set a few times now) that Danielle had said you could hear which way someone was stepping so you could decide whether to just do the opposite, that's probably what Adam did. They should have told them the GPs were the relationship just to get a laugh if nothing else.

I could see Adam throwing it, I don't know that he did, but it would make sense if he didn't want to be the one to toss Sheila out the door.

So for a fact either Sheila or Sharon goes home this week.. let me think actually... If Sharon wins POV then she could feasibly vote to keep Sheila and then Adam goes home.

If Sheila wins POV she may keep Adam. If Ryan or Adam wins POV its a toss up I guess. I'd like to believe that Adam would keep Sheila because if she won final HOH she'd keep him and Ryan would keep him so he'd have a vested interest in Sharon leaving.

I'd be shocked if Ryan and Sharon became final 2 and if that were the case I'd want to see Sharon win.

I did think of another possible explanation for the long pause. What if, when she saw the answer, she had the same reaction I did - that this couldn't be right. So she needed a moment to get confirmation (does she even see the questions and answers before hand?). Just a thought -MLT-

No way guys, it's OBVIOUS this was fixed. It's the only answer they had to justify on TV. The producers themselves know it's BS and hope our stupid American brains can't see through the BS.

Seriously, it's an insult to our intelligence. If they want to see someone in particular win, there's other ways to rig the game.

The guinea pigs had a pre-existing relationship? Is there ANY WAY at all that the HG's could have known that? No. So it's not a fair question.

Sydney said...

Fixed.

some guy said...

Fixed of course.
That was a question that could go eighter way if they wanted sharon to win they would say there is no other preexisted relation in the house if they wanted ryan to win and they wanted they would say there is a rel.... the guinea pigs.
That's how was fixed but because it's no way anyone can prove it it's ok :).
Then the POV is fishy when they done that HG's in seperate rooms with the puzzle adam wined i can always think they can mess with the time in wich the HG's done the puzzle maybe sharon did it faster who knows they ceratanly don't know for sure.

I don't know if it was fixed or not but they sure did screw themselves with the impression of foul play. Julie did stumble badly as did production in the answer to that last question when if that was the answer they should have been well prepared to show the graphic and that was way too long for a dramatic pause. The question had options as a answer if you wanted to screw with the game. The problem I have with calling this a fix is Why would they want Ryan to win over Sharon? At this point in the game I really don't care who wins so why should they?

some guy said...

To answer you bbfanto.
There are multiple reasons :
1.maybe they don't like sharon to the end maybe sharon doesn't have any ratings potential like adam,ryan and sheila and let's be true sharon is the most boring person in the house.
2.maybe putting sharon in an HOH position could be harmful to how they want the game to end maybe they want adam in the end maybe ryan wo knows and putting sharon in an HOH position is very risky for everyone (adam,ryan,sheila ) nobody knows who does sharon hates most and who sharon wants out more so sharon is not very predictable she could've nominate the person they want to the end.
3.maybe they want sharon out this time for ratings reasons and couldn't let her win and stay another week and bore everyone to death.
Bottom line sharon doesn't do good television and never did throughout the whole game and she is very expendable for CBS.
Excuse my bad english is not my native langauge.

Got another answer for you BBFANTO.

RYAN/ADAM TOGETHER = COMEDY, PPL WATCH

RYAN = THE LADIES WATCH

ADAM = LAUGHS, PPL WATCH

SHEILA = OLDER CROWD WATCH

SHARON = ZZZZZ, JACOB WATCHES...THATS ABOUT IT.

Erin said...

I'm all about calling foul, especially if someone like James was still there as he was totally favored by the producers. I just seriously doubt that they would even care about fixing it in favor of any of the three. It was a stupid question, nothing more and nothing less.

Erin said...

I don't think ANYONE is really watching BB by the way, if you look at the ratings, so they aren't targeting audiences. Sheila isn't good for old people because I know they don't watch, and Ryan is definitely not favored because of lady viewers. Ugh. And, I don't think that viewers who don't catch up on sites like this realize just how boring Sharon is, because she does get a good edit.

ale said...

If you think about it, it would actually be to the benefit of the producers to have Sharon win. Nominated 5 times, 4 of those in a row: this would be a great come back story. It doesn't make sense for them to favor Ryan over Sharon anyway, because we know they have a "secret" alliance.

Also, tie-breakers are always number questions, so that had nothing to do with Ryan being number savvy.

unfortunatley, I think this show has been rigged several different times throughout the season...I think the PTB in DR persuade the houseguests through their line of questioning how to vote and plant seeds in the HG mind.....Very upseting to invest my time in this show....

Ryan is a ladies guy? Really???
Adam is not that funny, and when he starts talking fast you can't understand him anyway.
Sharon has been dead weight, taking the staying under the radar game to a new level.
Shelia has no personality at all.

None on these people are worth getting excited about watching. The ratings have been flat all season, I don't think there is any golden final 2 that will boost ratings at this time.

I know a lot of women who think Ryan's attractive.
