Was that a worse move then when Marcellas didn't use the veto on himself? (SPOILERS)

I'd say so. Marcellas took a plunge of faith in his fellow housemates who had been loyal to him for a long time and got burned. Lawon took a plunge of faith on an idea he had absolutely no evidence for, and got burned worse.

Plus, it's easy to forget Marcy actually played a strong game until the veto disaster Lawon just sat and called everyone "boo". At least Marcy had the decency to create a character for his gnome named Boo.

I'm just putting this out there but what if the production staff encouraged Lawon to do this, it seems a strange thing for him to think up on his own.

As tempting as it must have been for them. I don't think the producers would be that cruel to really encourage him

BB producers can be very cruel to HMs or HGs if they think they can help the ratings by keeping some people in the house and getting others out.

^Yeah I've been thinking they must have suggested something to Lawon...he couldn't be THAT sure without at least some evidence or suggestion.

It kinda reminded me of when Dustin volunteered to go up on the block in BB8 and then the twist (America's Player) sent him home.

I believe there might be a gay curse in BBUS.

The BB producers had to have had a hand in what happened..

Lawon was dead weight, so when it looked like Brendon was going to be the X HM to be going back in,, and Rachel looked likely to be going home.

This would have made a whole mess of their twist,, we all know that Brendon would have just rolled over had he been up against Rachel,, This would have made a joke of the whole twist.

So, I don't care,, The BB producers had to bribe or trick Lawon to do this..
No way in hell that this waste of space came up with this on his own..

I've just caught up with the epsiode and agree that he must have been encouraged somehow. I mean where did his idea come from?

I'm assuming they didn't know the evicted hm was going to battle with a former hm, just that the evicted hm had a chance to come back, but Lawon seemed sure he'd come back and what about the special powers? And that Lawon hadn't had one idea in the entire game until this incredible, bonkers one, basically where di it come from?

On another note it turned out very clever game of Dani to want to ignore the twist and go ahead trying to evict Rachael. It would have been priceless to see the evicted Rachael and Brendan meet up just to be parted again. Almost as priceless as seeing Brendan beig the evicted hm fighting it out with the no hoper Lawon and returning Yay

You're right in one sense razor but I enjoyed the whole thing of it so much I'm not sure I care if it was a fix. If you like any BB let's face it any RT you're used to being hoodwinked as a viewer so at least if it's an enjoyable spectacle like this was just enjoy it.

Yeah, it's at least equally as stupid as Marcellas not using the POV, if not more!

I agree that the DR probably misled him into thinking he would have a great chance of returning by dropping a few hints. He wouldn't have just come up with that idea out of the blue on his own. But whilst I'm usually against production interfering with the game, I can't blame them for Lawon being stupid enough to actually volunteer to be evicted! I liked him, he was a nice guy and could be funny even though he was useless as a player, but he totally deserved to be evicted.

I love how all of The Regulators are now evicted and that none of them even made it to the jury, including the one who was guaranteed a place on the jury this time last week. Worst alliance ever?

Anyone who's stupid enough to believe anything the DR said to him about this deserves to be evicted.

By far, I mean they were effectively the 1st 4 people voted out of the game .

The Regulators .... LOL. LOL. LOL..

My side hurts...

Don't think I need to say any more..

Also I don't really mind if the show producers do some back handed stuff.. Really all they want to do is make the show as good as it can be..

Umm have you watched BBUS before? They brought someone back in BB3, BB6, BB9 and were planning to in BB12 before Julie messed up so it was always on the cards. With Dick walking it was inevitable.

I'm suprised everyone considers Marcellas' veto move as the worst ever. What about Jacob repeatedly and deliberately attacking Parker despite Parker being the sole vote to evict in the first week of BB9?
