Why is everyone saying this is rigged? They had pretty much this exact challenge in season 10, was the show rigged back then as well? Some challenges are always going to favour one person, you can't have questions everyweek afterall and it'd hardly be fair if you did as they should favour BB fans like Adam.

I assume there was also rigging involved in the week 4 HoH this season as there was a 0% chance of anyone ever beating Dani in that?

Shelly was a really classy evictee, especially considering she was only evicted this week because of Pandora's Fix. Such a contrast to Jeff, who couldn't accept that he'd been evicted fair and square and was a sore loser.
Big difference, Shelly had time to prepare for the possibility of being evicted, Jeff didn't. There's a reason they don't interview the losing team in sport just afterwards

Other people have been evicted with no preparation (other Fast Forward evictions, the Diamond POV), and weren't sore losers like Princess Jeff.

Other people not including Ollie. Kathy went with a lot of grace considering how badly she got screwed over.

I don't think Kathy had the energy to get worked up about anything

I do agree btw, It's just I can totally understand someone who leaves in a FF week being a bit bitter straight after getting out.

The Pandora's Box thing is totally different to a challenge favouring someone. That was the most blatent fix in the history of this show. If PB hadn't been used Rachel or Jordan would have been out and it would have been fair and square.

And Jeff's reaction was ridiculous. He kept getting angry because no one was playing the game. They were, just not the side he wanted them to.

Again, if Pandora's Box hadn't been used, Jordan would have been out. Rachel saved herself. It frustrates me that people continue to think Pandora saved her, when it's benefited her in no way whatsoever. (Jordan has done nothing for Rachel since being saved! )

Rachel would not have been out, she won the veto .

I agree the PB box thing does look very very suspicious, I don't see anything wrong with the challenge this week though. Totally devalues the argument about PB being a fix by just shouting fix anytime anything happens.

Who would Jordan have been up against? Adam?

I think the plan was Adam yes. The vote would have been 2-1, with Shelly and Kalia evicting Jordan, and Rachel evicting Adam.

Hmm I can't see Shelly or Kalia changing their minds there but you never know.

I think they all knew that Jordan and Rachel needed to be split up one way or another. It would have been jury suicide for Shelly, but I think she valued Adam as a better ally than Jordan anyway.

It's so frustrating thinking about it. We could have lost Adam or Jordan last week, but now we're lumbered with them for a while longer, while Shelly sits on her arse with Jeff and Dani.

I think because it came off the back of PB more than anything. I don't think there was any way anyone apart from Rachel was going to win that challenge. And there was that soapy challenge the week before where the only winner could be Jeff.

I think it is obvious Grodner is throwing more physical challenges in this year that she knows her vets will win for her. It feels way more than a regular season!

I agree, without the PB no one would be saying anything imo.

I don't think there is alot in it but it does feel like there have been more physical challenges this season which are most likely geared towards a vet winning. Lets not forget this is a tv show though, obviously blatant rigging should not happen but the producers are always going to want the returning players to go far so things like an extra physical competition is not unexpected.

Also you never know with some competitions, who would have foreseen Adam coming so close to beating Jeff in that ball rolling challenge?
