PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."

"Was that not the most obviously fixed veto challenge ever?" |
If ever there was evidence of the producers of Big Brother trying to manipulate the outcome of the game - I'd say that the model/beauty pageant challenge was it! I couldn't believe it. After all of the contestants comment on how much it would shake things up if Amy won, the contest just happens to TOTALLY favour Amy - AND they added the extra incentive of the massage just to make sure she wouldn't throw it. It isn't just coincidence that Roddy mentioned having prior conversations with Amy (that CBS recorded) about how she had to walk around for days with a book on her head. It drives me crazy when my illusions of reality shows being reality are shattered. I need to stop being so naieve. But it's just no fun otherwise!

1. "RE: Was that not the most obviously fixed veto challenge ever?" |
And after ALL that has happened to this point, how does this come as a surprise?Not only did AMY practice this in the past, but with her being shorter than the others, her lower center of gravity made her a very likely candidate to win (and for RODDY to lose with his greater height and higher center of gravity). Fixed? Say it ain't so!  P.S. my cynicism is not directed at you, Survivorchick.

2. "Have you forgotten??" |
Practicing for challenges has always been a part of the game, it is just up to each contestant just how much they practice.Besides
this is not the first time it's been pointed out a particular challenge would favor one over the other.
I for one am glad Amy not only won but that she didn't use veto!

>each contestant just how much
>they practice.If you were talking about practicing while in the house--you would be correct. But Amy practiced walking with a book on her head A LOT before she ever got in the house because she is a former beauty pageant contestant. Basically, this challenge is about as fair as if they made it a weight lifting competition (I think it is obvious that Roddy could lift more than Jason, Marci or any of the women). The BB producers knew Amy had this talent from her days practicing her posture and would almost certainly win if she tried. That is call "the fix is in". Challenges should not inherently advantage one particular contestant.
