Furthermore, in a development that raised eyebrows among some viewers, the FCC apparently responded to some complaints in the summer of 2007 claiming that producers were overlooking “cheating” on Big Brother 8 by stating that it appeared not to be a “game show” but a “for entertainment only” show, in which outcomes are at least partially predetermined. There are reports that the FCC has said something similar about American Idol.

THE FCC DOES NOT CONSIDER BB A GAME SHOW SO NO INVESTIGATION WOULD BE DONE ON CHEATING CLAIMS.

I wonder if they are trying to cover giving Dan information by their constantly asking him to change his battery.

I have suspected that they would want to keep at least one coach/team member through to the end.

How could they predict that Janelle’s team would implode on itself, and Ian would be successful in getting Mike out.

Again just my “opinion” but Dan’s funeral was not a great game move. It did not improve his chance to get off the block. Only thing that got him off was Jenn. NOTHING ELSE!

Jenn is only there for the exposure to advance her music career.

The same can be said for Will and Joe. Perfect pawns to get a coach and player to the end.

From what I have heard, the major of this years “cast” were recruited.

This is not a game show, it is a reality show. The HG are a “cast” not contestants.

The majority of the cast are recruited by agents searching for certain types of people. So it can no way qualify as a game show, allowing “production” to do as they please.

All terms associated with BB support the fact that it is not a game show.

This doesn’t fall under the same category as Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy or the like. To say so would be to bring real games shows down to BB’s level.

Certainly, we all have heard that Ian purchased Gheeslings book and they corresponded prior to the show. That could not just be a coincidence and I, for one, believe the outcome was forced and guarantee Gheesling will win 1st or 2nd place. I think maybe the rest of his flock were “guided” to protect and secure his position, however delicate, I think the messages were put forth by production. Perhaps by an executive living vicariously through Dan. I see Gheesling as quite disgraceful, even when held up against previous controversial players. He never worried about eviction, did not think up the funeral idea, and was overheard telling DR they’re messing up his game one day with a chuckle.The thrill is gone.

I’ve watched random episodes with friends the last couple of years. I watched most of last season. This year, I’m obsessed. I have live feeds, Dick @ Nite, Joker’s Updates, BB Access, Hamsterwatch, and a few others that I follow on Twitter.

This is my first true season. It’s unbelievable how much production is manipulating the game. Or accidents, whatever they want to call it. At Season 14, there should not be accidents with DR leaks. The tech is better. There should be no excuse.

I Totally agree with everything that you say it is rigged and they only want who they want to win that is how Rachel won last year is because of CBS.
