The final proof that Big Brother is rigged
April 18th 2007 05:34
Sigh.
This is a hard day for me. A very sad day. Last year, when I jumped into the human experiment with more force than ever, I became a member of the Big Brother site (bigbrother.3mobile.com.au) I chatted with all about all topics until the terrible 'incident' occurred and then anyone that didnt pay for membership couldnt post or read. However, while I was able to chat, I read something very interesting...The show had only been on for about two weeks and I was thoroughly enjoying myself - HA! And they say humans aren't animals, well, check out what so and so did...but what caught my eye was at one point, someone started up a thread - Big Brother is rigged. Intrigued, I jumped right on, thinking, if your going to bag out the show, why are you on the official website? What possible proof could you have?
The guy went on to explain that one of his mates was a technician - one of the people who crawls around in the walls trying not to get seen, not even a 'ninja', and that he had inside info.
First of all, at this point, Im extremely sceptical. Ok, so its a friend of a friend or something? How often have I heard that? And how would a so called 'grunt' worker get any inside information?
The guy went on to explain that voting was unnessesary, to save your money, because Big Brother was rigged and that it had all been set up from the beginning - For Jamie to win. Apparently so called 'friend' had heard big wigs talking and the whole show was rigged for Jamie to win, right from the get go.
NO WAY! I said. That numb nut? Hes barely entertaining, he'll never make it to the end!
Let me tell you, that final night when Jamie and Camilla were sitting on the couch, I was FREAKING! Id never had such a tense BB closing night! I was desperate for Camilla to win - someone who's struggled, whose been poor, who's proved she's REAL and doesnt mind getting her hands dirty. I prayed, I begged, for so many reasons, let Camilla win!
My psychic sense punched me in the guts while Gretel was drawing out the moment - I turned to Kman and said, "Its Jamie. My God, its really Jamie" Before he could even begin to speak Gretel screamed "And, The winner....Of Big Brother....IS JAMIE!!!!"
I was close to tears. How could you betray me like that BB, How dare you? After Id defended you and championed your cause, how could you do this to me? Id spent most of the series thinking - its such a big show, with so much to organise - they'd never manage to rig it! Never!
But other voice, whispered cruelly -
"How could they have it any other way? Its BB for heavens sake, utmost control is the frigging POINT, did you really think that they would just let ANYONE win? How bout all those times they have 'problems' with Legion Interactive? Huh? What about that, smart girl? How many times do they 'miscount accidently'? Hmm? HMM?"
Id managed to block this out successfully until last night....
BB lets out his BIG secret. "This year, there is NO prize money" and get this, they arent telling the housemates until OPENING NIGHT!!
Suss! Major Suss! If the housemates are anything like last years, half will walk off the stage with a laugh and a "screw you then" so, either theyve been forwarned, VERY well screened....Or its all rigged. The third choice really is the most realistic. Im going to be watching their reactions VERY closely on Sunday evening(Oh, Im so excited) cos I can pick a lie a mile away. I'll know if they're faking it.
Really, it makes sense, not for every season, but at least the last two. Ive seen some reactions and behaviours that werent QUITE genuine.
But I'll still be watching. Why? Cos, rigged or not, I dont really care WHO wins, I only vote when I get REALLY peeved at someone(Not that I like giving money to a machine SO very good at making it, vote to SAVE and vote to evict? Utter genius, everyone votes twice, BB makes twice as much....Brilliant) and Im not watching to find out whos supposedly the most popular, I want to watch the human experiment!
Whether its rigged or not - They are still locked in there with - No TV, no books, no newspapers, no pen and paper(OUCH MAN!!) no friends, no family, no phone, no food, no comfort zone...And they are locked in!
And, just to be REALLY cruel...No cigarrettes. Thats ranking right up there with no pen and paper for me - I honestly dont know which Id miss more.
So, I'll still be watching, but EXTRA closely now, just to see evidence of this rigging. For the last two seasons its been fairly obvious that these 'strangers' all know each other at least slightly, and there hasnt been very genuine surprise on who's leaving, but I can forgive. Just let me see people pushed out of their comfort zones tearing off their silly human masks...YEAH!
Be mean BB, its what we pay you for.

All I can say is [and mind you I think the show does nothing for humankind and should be taken off the air] I guess you've made your point. I'm glad you can pick a phoney.
How can you watch that rubbish, give me a good horse any day.
I'm still thinking about those dreams of yours, apparently no-one else on Orble has any, so I rest in my solitary state, still in my solitary confinement, having failed my one last chance with coventry.
Sometimes I think I'd rather be a horse.
But I absolutely loved those dreams of yours.

How can an examination of humanity be bad for humanity? I think Law and Order dramatizing child rape is a lot worse. I mean, they think its ENTERTAINMENT, those writers. Its just sick.

I heard about the no prize money. They surely have to have something in place of prize money. Those people won't stick round......unless they're really that desperate for fame.
Each year I say that I won't watch BB, that it's ridiculous, that I hate everyone in the whole house.....and then I still end up addicted!!! Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the show!

I still don't understand how it'd work with no prize money

Thankyou for acknowledging that my commentary will not stop until the show does...There will be constant angst over the daily show, the up late show, the friday night games, the lack of adult content....You'll all be sickened nigh unto death! Probably wont even have to watch, I'll give you all the updates!
SUNDAY NIGHT OPENING NIGHT!!!
Ash,
Thats exactly whats 'funny' about all of this...
KylieW,
No one will walk off. If no one walks off, its rigged. But I still cant wait to see....
Tracy,
I agree. Even if the final results are rigged and the contestants are rigged, they are still locked in there....*grins* mucho entertainment!
Cibby,
Thats the point my man! They go absolutely nuts and revert to their true animal natures....
Bryn,
Yup, they are in lockup right now. No newspapers or telly or anything....So they would have us believe.(.?)
Damo,
I wish but chances are the adult content will be denied to us 3 million loyal viewers just because some snotty minister who likes spending tax payer money cant explain naked people to a daughter that should be in bed...Watching the OC
Always Eighteen,
We'll see!
