To me..when we can determine as viewers what happens next, and the HGs are able to say the POV is going to be this , the double eviction will be such and such, then BB isn't being BB any longer. Shake it up! I personally see nothing wrong with the DR trying to sway things one way or the other. Big Brother should see all & know all, and mess with them. If they don't have their head together, then they WILL be swayed. I think the HG should be playing against each other and BIG BROTHER. JMO :duno:

Well said, but unfortunately this time, I think James is up against a brick wall and I sure Gnat has the BIG DUDE occupied, so HE can't help him out. :'(

I don't think BB should be able to influence the HG's at all, not one single bit, they know too much. It's a game show and they can't influence or rig up ideas.
But, I totally agree that BB should not follow a format. It should be different every season. It's predictable and BB should have unique twists with every season. Double evictions should be unpredictable so the HG's can't plan ahead. BB needs to get a new cookie cutter.

I think Big Brother has a DUTY in the diary room to play devil's advocate. "How would it help you if James stays?" "Is it possible that Natalie is telling EVERYONE she's taking them to the final two?" "Does it irritate you when Gnat talks about winning the game as if it's a given?"
It makes people THINK. It opens up their minds up to other possibilities. And yes, it could give CBS good TV if something twists. Nothing wrong with that.

ITA especially the part about giving us some good TV.

This was brought up last year during BB8 when there was so much controversy over what they were being told in the DR. I have seen clips from the UK version of BB and they actually show the DR sessions as there happening and its the same way. Its not like they actually say you should keep so and so but give them ideas as in put in there head and what they do with that information is up to the HG's. JMO

I remember that as well so it isn't just this year. I didn't like the idea of them locking the DR, or keeping him in there by asking more questions, however they managed it. (:;)

I just think if you're playing your game, working real hard to "fool" everybody, and then BB points out something to make people doubt your loyalty or game...Yes, it would make me think, but what's the point of being a HG and playing your heart out if BB can slam you in the DR?

I agree if he was locked in the DR so he couldn't talk to anyone else that may have swayed his decision then that was not right and on the feeds it did look that way as right after Adam decided to not put James up right away he was called in there and then a LD outside was called shortly thereafter. So I believe that does look suspicious on BB behalf. That kind of manipulating the game is not right and should not happen.
