I like the prize money being dished out differently. It'll cause some drama if one of them takes it and give us something to talk about. In 3 months no ones going to care about who won or what they did with whatever amount of money they won.

Seriously everyone needs to stop with this "chosen one" bull**** and these conspiracy theories that C5 is manipulating it for the Insiders.

If you haven't noticed, THE INSIDERS HAVE BEEN GIVEN COMPLETELY **** EDITS FOR THE PAST FOUR WEEKS! If C5 really cared that much about these so-called "chose ones," they would've gotten a lot better edits!

Can someone please explain to me this: If people are so convinced that this show is a fix and that producers have favorites to win, why in the world do they put on highlights shows that make their favorites hated by the public?

If they so desperately want, say, Connor to win why would they even show his over the top comments about Deanna? Why would they show Becky being an utter bitch if she is one of teh "chosen ones"? The highlights shows do not edit themselves.
The very show the producers are putting together has turned the vast majority of the public against their so-called chosen ones. The shows made the outsiders the underdogs, which is the most powerful weapon you can have in a public vote.

Yet, despite all of this I keep reading about this being a "fix" for Connor and his band of idiots. Well if it is a fix, it's a damn ineffective one.

Exactly. The Insiders have gotten brutal edits and their popularity is rock bottom. The forums like the Outsiders, the casuals like the Outsiders, nearly everyone's on the same page. If the Insiders were really the "chosen ones," then the editors would've done a hell of a lot better job protecting them and would not have implemented nomination twists like Turf Wars.

Horrible and unfair. Taking half the money does not make it a fair game.

They would be idiots not to take it. Here's hoping they are bigger idiots than I thought.
