You are making ZERO sense. You clearly have me confused with someone else.
And "uphold the integrity of the big brother concept"? Y9u obviously havn't read George Orwell's 1984. The entire CONCEPT of the book is that the people are in a prison-state and being manipulated by the higher powers(aka Big Brother). That's the whole concept. So the more manipulation BY Big Brother the MORE it holds true to the integrity and spirit of the concept. The whole point of Big Brother is that Big Brother is in absolute control and that it's not fair, and that you have to be especially clever to dodge everything that Big Brother is throwing at you. You don't get it.
IT'S A GAME.

Ohoho this is just too good. I never accused you of griping when someone like Dani won HOH, I merely said accusing people of being poor sports only makes sense when they are complaining about who won HOH rather than about a FORMAT CHANGE. Go back and actually
read my post this time. I didn't accuse you of griping when Daniele or Kalia won HOH. Your inability to process this forces me to question your reading comprehension skills.
Furthermore, I have in fact read 1984 and your description of "the whole concept" is woefully inaccurate. The novel is actually about the idea of the "last man" and what it takes to reduce a human being to something less than that. The totalitarian state run by Big Brother is merely a setting for that story to play out. So don't start trying to call me out on what literature I allegedly haven't read, you'll only embarrass yourself.
And that's not even the point, because you misread my post AGAIN. My reference to the "Big Brother concept" was NOT about the novel 1984. It was about the TV show, which I think we can all agree is far removed from the novel in every sense but its name. The concept of Big Brother (I'll be crystal clear, Big Brother THE TV REALITY SHOW) is that of winning competitions and manipulating others to avoid elimination and be the last houseguest standing. The lowest common denominator is that there is a level playing field that gives all houseguests an equal shot at winning the game within a constant framework. So-called "twists" like the latest one foisted upon us by AG that are clearly designed to give certain HGs an advantage do, in fact, go against the spirit of Big Brother (THE TV REALITY SHOW, in case it hasn't sunk in yet).
I bet you probably thought Jeff getting the Coup d'Etat in BB11 was totally in the spirit of the show as well.
