Not a very exciting season

<< < (3/4) > >>

kc:
I find it hard to believe that they would make it so he cant win.  First if you couldnt win the game why would you want to be americas choice?  plus are we trying to help him win?  second i think for cbs it would be good for them if he won cause they they would make the america's choice question what 2 hg we wanted him to nonimate.  but for him it would be in his best interest to not win cause we could decided we wanted him to nonimate someone completely different then what he has been talking to the other hg about and it could be hard to explain.  If i was in his position i too would have make sure i didnt win the HOH.

MamaTo4boys:
I don't see why it would be a rule that he couldn't win. If he makes it to the F2 its not like their going to have an "automatic" winner. But don't see that happening so it won't really matter. They might do something like if he ends up completing 10 tasks and thats 20,000.00 in his pocket they could possibly deduct it from his full winnings kwim? Like if he did make to the F2 as Americas Player he won't get that $. Then again, they are going to have to tell the jury sometime and I don't see them voting for him if they know!!

Im thinking he can't win HOH - hence why he gave it to Kail in the first week. Because then we as America choose to put up who we want. What if we chose say Jameka anddddddd Jessica ya know? Hows he going to explain that.

The way I see it, America choosing his actions is CBS's way of controlling the game right out in the open. They can carefully edit footage to basically get who THEY want voted for, given that almost everybody gets CBS and Shotime 2 is a subscription channel on a network that is basically total crap, not to mention the live feeds that require a subscription and putting that accursed Real Player on your poor computer. There's enough viewers that will absorb whatever the Big Brother producers throw at them without watching After Dark and getting a better perspective, and voting for Eric's actions based on that. Certain people get a boost simply because they are the ones featured in an episode while people like Mike, Jessica, etc. are rarely featured. If Mike didn't confront Dick, you'd never know he was in the house to begin with based on CBS's editing. I can't wait to see if Dick is ever a target for him to try and get nominated. That would stir things up like crazy.

Anyways, if Eric makes it to the final two, there will be claims he had an unfair advantage. Earning money along the way, getting at least a 2nd place prize, and having inside information the whole time via how American's wanted him to vote or who to mess with or who to nominate. Things like public opinion of people based on diary room sessions, which by coincidence they talked about tonight on BBAD...about how they are 100% private during the stay in the house.

You raise a good point about Eric not winning HoH. It seemed that he threw it last time too, and badly. Correctly answering question after question so fast I couldn't even hear the question to play along at home, lol, and suddenly he buzzes in to answer when Julie hadn't got more than a few words into the question.

At least Real Player is a good player. They could have gone another route and used a bad player or (gasp) maybe even quicktime *shudder*.  (:;) B:)

At the end of the day though, it does all come down to a lot of editing, and I think every season we have the same debate about editing. As for Eric, I seriously have wondered about that myself. If he wins, will there be an outcry of people upset he had 'help' along the way?

Serous editing manipulation example:

Danna:
I starrted watching during season 6, I fell in love with the S6 group and loved to hate the nerd herd, like many people.
Season 7 was like season 6 continued, making it very easy to watch.
This season seemed lacking initially, but now i'm finding myself really getting into the charachters and the drama.
I think it just takes time to get to know everyone (it did for me anyway)
I almost stopped watching the first week and now i'm glad i gave it a chance :)
