See I never vote for America's choice things but What was my country thinking by him being the favorite? At least, people like Keesha, Janelle, Dan, hell even James from BB9, had so somewhat likable traits about them. I can't see anything about Dick that is likable.

Nope, hate it. I love BBUSA because there's no public vote and this ruins that -- the best players should make it far and win and if that's unlikable people so be it.

Some of those guesses were priceless.

I agree with Starlet, though. These little perks seem to have a way of souring things in the long run.

His apparent love for his daughter.

His frustration with his daughter, cuz he knew she was a bitch.

Then we would have seen a showdown between Jessie and Ronnie that would have been something
Even without the Coup d'Rig Ronnie would be going home this week anyway, because he played a rubbish game.

And if someone like Michele or Jordan wins HOH next week (assuming Jeff gets the power and just throws the HOH) then Jessie will be going home and the power won't even be used. So I think it's a bit too early to be saying that Jeff/Jordan are crap players who needed the Coup d'Rig to be handed to them on a plate. It might not even get used. The power always naturally shifts in BB without any intervention and this week is an example of that.

It's not the producers favourites, its the viewers favourites. Nobody wants to see a Jessie/Ronnie final two. Ratings were already dropping during Ronnie's HoH week, if Jeff and Jordan had gone this week and the next, hardly anyone would be left watching.

Jessie has no right been in this season anyway. He's already had his chance, he was an unlikable dick last time, and he is still that same unlikable dick this time.

It may turn out that Jeff doesn't even need the Coup, if he, Jordan or Michele win HoH next week. So then Jessie can't bitch and moan (which he loves to do) about how unfair it was, if he is evicted next week.
The rules of games should not be twisted merely for ratings purposes or to give the audience a happy feeling inside no matter what.

Yeah but that didn't really change the outcome of the game. He would've evicted Jessie in any case.

But the point was America wants to make sure that Jessie was gone. Anything could at last minute, look at season 9 when Sharon went home and when it was supposed to be Sheila. Now it's the same this year. America's want to guaranteed that the person they want the most out is gone, or at least nominated.

True, but the point is that the producers did give the viewers an opportunity to change the game. The fact that they didn't take that chance is irrelevant.

I think he should use it, it will be beneficial for him in the game to gain an aly in Russel and to take out one of his targets Jessie or Natalie. But has he got the balls to step up? and play the game hard, who knows find out on Thursday

They rig it a lot anyway, they coach housemates in the DR to try and sway them in certain directions. Like when they forced housemates to save Evel Dick in BB8.

Housemates this season have already mentioned how the DR was very pro-Ronnie. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

Either way, if this season was left with Jessie, Ronnie, Natalie, Chima and Lydia not many people would be watching.

And as I said before, it was already rigged from the start with one clique having a fourth member and that been Jessie, who already had a chance to play last year. Not to mention that the first HoH comp was totally rigged in favour of the Athletes.

Its not like in BB8 when some housemates had enemies in the house and others didnt, or BB4 when a few of them (Dana, Nathan, Jack etc) didnt have an ex gunning for them. Thats when it becomes unfair imo.
Jun, Allison, Robert and Erica were the Final Four - and they all had ex-partners in the house. So it didn't really put them at a disadvantage did it?

Fair point, but it did put them at the disadvantage, they just overcame it.
