ALso the stages/set's they have to set up for the competitions are so elaborate and huge, i imagine they must be meticulously planned out months in advance.

You can't just build those huge sets on a whim.

I do agree that the CBS shows are HEAVILY edited, but i don't think that means they interfere with the game, or manipulate the results.

It was interesting that the last PoV task was singles and not doubles though, gave Dominic a better chance as Adam couldn't throw it. They could have said that task was for doubles.

There's been rigging in the past, that's pretty much fact. BB8 was rigged for Dick to win at all costs, BB9 there was the guinea pigs incident, BB11 had Jeff and the Coup d'Etat. Grodner does what Grodner wants. There hasn't been any rigging yet this season, but we'll see what's to come.

I don't see those incidents as rigging. I believe both America's player twist (which helped dick) and the coup d'etat twist(which helped jeff) were both planned before the season started.

The Guinea Pigs thing, i think was just a bad joke, and the producers had no way of knowing what each houseguest would answer. They probably assumed they'd all get that one wrong, and just used it to give the audience at home a laugh and make the houseguests more paranoid. There's no way they could have used that question to benefit just 1 single houseguest though, cause they had no control over what answers they'd give.

It's not the America's Player twist itself. Obviously that was planned before the season since it was used the whole time. But when HouseGuests come into the Diary Room with their minds set to evict one HouseGuest (Eric Week 5, Dick Week 6 for example), and then they come out with a complete change of heart (Kail Week 5, Dustin Week 6), it's obvious that there's rigging. Especially when Amber and Jen talked about how the producers try to influence them during their DR interviews. Not to even mention the PoV Competition that Jameka was disqualified from.

The Coup d'Etat wasn't planned at all, that's a joke and a half. Grodner was tired of Jessie's side winning week after week because they're "evil." So she took matters into her own hands and gave a ridiculous advantage to "America's favorite" which was obviously going to be Jeff.

The Guinea Pigs was obvious rigging, if you don't see it, that's pretty delusional. Ryan was one behind, he knew Sharon would pick fiction, so he just picked fact and hoped for a miracle. And then "conveniently" when the answer is read, Julie goes "The correct answer..." and then a long, suspicious eight second pause before "The correct answer is... fact!" That pause, along with the fact that it had to be explained on screen for the viewers, makes it obvious.

Actually there was proof that evil dick snuck a wrong ball into her slot production never caught it

If they were going to rig it, why would they rig it in such a ridiculous way with the guinea pigs question? Surely they'd think of something more subtle. If they wanted Ryan to win, why not just give them a challenge that involved lots of strength since he was obviously the strongest?

The Producers would have to be complete idiots to come up with changing the answers to questions on the spot (especially changing the answer to such a ridiculous one) as the best way to rig the competition.

I don't buy it. I think it's fair and square. But maybe i'm naive.
