Also that blueball mystery has been going on forever by Anti-Dick protesters. There's no real proof that he did it although, he probably did do it.

People need to get their facts straight between rigging and favoring. There's been plenty of favoring (throwing random comps out at times to save a favorite such as Chicken George or Janelle in All-Stars) and then I'd call the blatant rigging the times where Eric/Adria stayed in the house.

Dick staying in the house was Eric's job for that week and he accomplished it. So how is that 'rigging'? The producers were definitely on his ass more-so because Dick was the big fan favorite of the season, like I said - he was the star. A house without Dick Donato in BB8 would have been severely boring. We see Daniele complain solo, then get the boot, then Jen goes and we eventually work our way up to a Dustin/Amber final two. No thanks.
Of course they're gonna make Eric do his job to keep Dick in the House like "the viewers" voted and of course it's perfectly reasonable and acceptable to threaten him in the DR to kick him off the show if he doesn't campaign for what "America" voted.

Rigging, favoring, whatever you wanna call it, it's still cheating and manipulation. Ever since S8 Grodner's manipulation over the show has been absurd and has ruined a lot of the fun of the game. You can't tell me that the guinea pigs REALLY counted as a couple in the F4 HoH in BB9. There have been many example of threatening and manipulation in the DR that we conveniently don't see. Still, the HouseGuests talk about it, we can put 2 and 2 together, the rigging, or "favoring" as you wanna call it to lighten it, is a big part of the show nowadays.

It's "rigging" or if you wanna make it not such a big deal "favoring" because it's clear manipulation of the game. You can't tell me that threatening to kick Eric off of the show if he doesn't campaign right when he comes out of the DR is reasonable and acceptable JUST because he's America's Player. It's a huge double standard and a bunch of BS. And a house without Dick Donato wouldn't be severely boring, it would actually be alright to watch and not disturbing. Watching a grown man burn someone with a cigarette, pour iced tea on someone, and threaten to rape three people until they bleed and beg for more is perfectly okay right?
