Looks like it may be, from another forum:

"All of us who watch the live feeds know that BB convinced Amber while
she was in the Diary Room to change her mind about evicting Eric. Amber
stated it to more then one houseguest for all of us to hear. Funny that
wasn't on any of the clips from the "live" show this evening - or was it
memorex? Come clean with the viewers and compensate the other players
for the CBS manipulation of the votes. If CBS intent is to determine
the outcome of the game then why put the supposed players through it?
Hire them as actors and present it for what it really is - because
obviously it isn't a game with no outside influences as CBS advertises.
While we are at it why isn't it an option for Eric to get himself
nominated? How is that fair to the other players? CBS has manipulated
the game and changed what the outcomes would be if the players were left
to their own devices. I haven't missed an episode since season one but
I can assure you if CBS doesn't make this right I will never watch
again - meaning I will never buy from any sponsor of the show! CBS WE
DEMAND AN EXPLANATION! "

BB8: Amber talks about her DR with Eddie

MamaTo4boys · « **Reply #2 on:** August 10, 2007, 02:40:56 AM »

Also tonight Jen was talking about how they kept trying to push her to keep Eric in the DR.

And when they got wind Daniele was going to nominate Eric they tried to talk her out of it.

These are just two things I myself have heard while watching the live feeds. I don't doubt for a minute though, that these two lied about it. Eric is AP.

True that Mama! I bet the producers were high-fiving themselves last night after Dustin switched up his vote again, like *whew*.

If the producer are really doing that they themselves are not helping the situation for Eric, If it were me i would defiantly be asking myself Why would the producers be interested?

TexasLady · « **Reply #5 on:** August 10, 2007, 09:52:18 AM »

This is a crass comment, but it occurs to me, that if CBS keep their precious Eric in the game as AP, they can continue to get money from the text massages, and keep their "twist" in the game. I'm SO over Eric and the AP. There is no game, it is manipulations aplenty.

Jeffrey Scott · « **Reply #6 on:** August 10, 2007, 10:01:00 AM »

I liked the AP more when it's just using him to play pranks and stuff like crawling into bed with someone or squirting mustard on shirts. That stuff is funny.

kc · « **Reply #7 on:** August 10, 2007, 10:06:03 AM »

yes that is the part that i liked too, i wish they had kept it more that but let eric vote on his own, they could have told hg right up front that america would have a vote to evict each week so expect one extra vote every week, then they could have let us vote on who we wanted out.

Jeffrey Scott · « **Reply #8 on:** August 10, 2007, 10:09:09 AM »

I do like the thought of that, giving America one vote only.

just think of the stress it would cuase in the house cuase they would never know what exactally we were planning. It would be especially fun on weeks when the voting as going to be close, like this week

BballKates · « **Reply #11 on:** August 10, 2007, 10:45:34 AM »

I don't think they are pushing for Eric to win. If he is on the block again I think they will let him go if that is what people want. I just think they wanted Eric to stay around longer.

kc · « **Reply #12 on:** August 10, 2007, 10:58:00 AM »

When do people start going to the jury house? i wonder if Eric makes it to the jury house if we will get to choose who he votes for to win the money

Nannfan · « **Reply #13 on:** August 10, 2007, 11:10:13 AM »

I think there are many things fixed, like Dick and Danielle KNOWING each would be there, and also very early on the day before HOH was played on TV, Jen had told one of the guys she had won HOH, and they were discussing it. YEP BB IS FIXED!

MamaTo4boys · « **Reply #14 on:** August 10, 2007, 11:12:52 AM »

Jen said she knew that day she was going to win HOH, she just had that feeling. Same as when Dustin just "knew".

Yeah it seems that BB is coaching them in the diary room and maybe telling them things. Does it seem funny that they gave them the croquet set"to practice" for a comp and then did not have a comp with it in it?

Could it be that they knew that the nerd herd had not been practicing, but Dick and Zack HAD, so they did not use the croquet as this weeks comp?

I have never seen them give them soooo much time to practice for a comp.

Could it be that Eric was coached with answers?

Big Brother 8
Rigged or Not Rigged?
By Sysop

I have not written much lately but after viewing the August 5th version of Big Brother 8 I was enraged enough to say to myself, "I have had enough of this." I decided I had to get a few hours sleep and some time to gain a perspective on what I had just witnessed before I could sit down and write about it. It is now 5:30 AM on the east coast and what I witnessed on Big Brother 8 has now come into focus a lot more than it was last night.

Let's begin with the over flight of the Big Brother house by a plane pulling a banner that read, "We love Nick! Amber and Eric Are Liars! LNC Is The Nerd Herd!"

First things first,

1) It was flown during the Head of House Competition, which came after the Eviction Ceremony, so why would someone pay serious money to have "We Love Nick" on the banner, it was far to late to save Nick. The only assumption possible is "We Love Nick" is a red herring.

2) Correctly me if I am wrong on this minor point, is not Dick a member of LNC? If so, purchasers of that banner are not part of the insider internet crowd that have a love hate got to worship Dick thing. They would never call LNC the Nerd Herd.

3) I may be a little bit wrong here but I am quite sure I am not. We have not seen Big Brother televise a banner being flown over the Big Brother house since Big Brother 3. There have been many many banners flown over the house since Big Brother 3 and not one has been televised even though the houseguests had seen some of them.

How is it that the banner that over flew the Big Brother house in this last episode of Big Brother 8 was perfectly timed, perfectly positioned and Big Brother just happened to have the right camera with the perfect lens and filter available for it?

4) On the live feeds during the Veto Competition Dick could clearly be heard to complain, "She touched the bar." referring to Jen touching the bar they were hanging from. At that very moment it went to blue rabbit hole screen. How come we didn't see that, we only got to see Jen voluntarily getting down. Did she touch the bar? Were we deceived by Big brother once again?

I could list a few more points about the August 5th Big Brother 8 televised show, but lets get to the meat of it folks.

The cost of a banner is not cheap. Let's look at that:

Cost $450 per flight -- more for one time only. Message wording changes are $15 to $50. Cost up to $2.90 per square foot depending on size, complexity and quantity of letters

About 700 to fly it once. The actual cost would probably be about $500 to $700

It is my firm belief that Big Brother paid to have that banner flown over the house. To many things about the banner fit "Producer Logic".

We Love Nick! was a costly waste of space and and money. An avid fan eager enough to pay for that banner would have realized flying it during a HOH competition was going to do nothing to save Nick.

I already pointed out the need for the right cameras, lens and filters to shoot that plane and banner. We have never seen such a quality shot of a plane and banner in the history of Big Brother.

Who else but the producers would make the faux paux of calling the LNC the Nerd Herd?

Even if some of my logic falls apart most of it sticks together. Never mind it sticking together, there was so much wrong about the August 5 show I have lost complete confidence in the integrity of the show.

Big Brother has definitely "Jumped the Shark". There is a theory within the TV community that each year in order for a show to survive and continue to get good ratings it must amplify it self to newer and higher levels. Big Brother has been trying to do this since Big Brother 4. The only problem with the theory of getting more and more sensational year after year is eventually you get to where Big Brother is now, a farce!

I run this site for the fans of reality TV, I really like almost all the fans I have met, well there is that one tenth of one percent that I don't like but let's not split hairs. I am asking seriously for your help here because running a site like this is a tough job and it is even tougher when you get turned off on a show.

Now I don't mind anyone disagreeing with the above points I have made, please do. I am looking to have my faith restored. If you can logically convince me Big Brother isn't rigged or fixed now is the time to do. It will help me and others get through this season.

I'm not buying that BB payed for the banner, other rumors were that it was Janelle which makes the "Nerd Herd" thingy seem right to me.

Blondie · « **Reply #20 on:** August 10, 2007, 09:56:11 PM »

But if Eric the douchebag keeps screwing up his challenges, they have plenty of money to do with what they want to. How many banners can they fly with 10,000 dollars. I am not sure yet. I do think that they are giving to much information in the diary rooms though.

TexasLady · « **Reply #21 on:** August 10, 2007, 10:03:14 PM »

I don't doubt for a moment that BB saved Eric's sorry rear end last night. That was an interesting interview, but the HG's themselves have been blabbing to us listening on the live feeds what they told them in the DR.

Puddin, if Janie paid for that banner.. Will was there in on it too.

(But don't let me go down that path again please!)

janelle and nick are both from the minnesota area,wich would stand to reason why they put "we love nick".we also know that janelle would not like amber or eric,amber crys more than ivette and eric lies like james.

The idea that CBS needs to "fix" BB is ridiculous. Why should they care who stays, goes, wins? I seriously doubt that it would have any significant effect on ratings. Besides, B B is a summer replacement series, very inexpensive to produce and ratings really aren't a big issue.

The DR so talked Jessica & Eric into keeping Dick in the house, no doubt in my mind it is fixed. Lets see do they want crappy ratings with no Dick or great ratings with Dick? They know what we want ...just look at the polls
