So was last year rigged for Frank?
Reading the Wikipedia page of Big Brother it seems alot of housemates voiced concerned about the Diary Room trying to influence them saving Frank.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bro....)#Controversy I mean I can see good arguments for rigging towards him, I mean in week one Ashley was all for voting him out then suddenly she has a long Diary Room session and she is suddenly all for keeping Frank. Also the cancelled eviction in week 3 was a disappointment as it would have been a epic blindside with Frank going but they cancelled the eviction. I cant see the eviction being cancelled if Joe was the one to go myself. Its interesting reading; it seems production tried almost every week when Frank was not HoH to keep him or cover up alleged cheating. |

Grodner has favourites, she was clearly into Jessie too. With Frank, maybe she was attracted to him maybe she just wanted to save her fellow caveperson.

I don't think it was rigged for him to win, but it was certainly rigged for him to go further in the game at the expense of others.
This was the only US season I've watched, so it was all a little bit different for me. But the influence from production was quite blatant. |

I think in an ideal world Grodner would have wanted Frank to win, but his shocking social game and status as a comp threat led to it being more of a case of Grodner trying to get him further along in the show as possible. in my eyes Frank was designed to be the winner and Ian as the breakout noob contestant, and once Frank went Grodner put all of her eggs into Ian's basket, notice how lacking in strategic input Ian was in the early episodes of the series compared to the end of the series.
What I never understood though was why Frank was so popular with Grodner. I understand why Jeff got pushed so highly, he was adored by the casual fans and was an alpha male tween favourite but Frank had nothing that was appealing, he wasn't likable, he came across as very self-entitled and wasn't good looking at all, I can't think of ANY social media site or forum that rooted for him, and yet Grodner shoved him down our throats. |

Apparently, according to the forums / sites / facebook, he was very liked by casual fans that only watched the highlight shows.

I don't think it was rigged but I do think they had the preference to keep the major characters in as long as possible, particularly when the coaches entered the game and they didn't go through with the eviction. A lesser character would probably have been evicted, unless it was to compensate for Willie being ejected the week before.
I don't like any hint of rigging but I did like Frank for some reason, I'm not even sure why. He did annoy me at times, but so has almost every other player. lol |

Frank was a target from day 1.
He seemed to be either on the block or head of household for a lot of his time in the house. So chances that some twist was going to favour him was quite likely, and didn't require any favoritism from production. |

I just still can't get over how he won americas player... Especially over Janelle and Britney! That is definitely not right.

Of course it was. He was just the next one in line of Grodner's favorites like Dick and Jeff.

Fairly certain that was rigged, he had no support at all, 5th favourite at best behind Ian, Dan, Britney and Janelle.
It wasnīt rigged, production always talks game to the HG in the DR. Frank was target nr. 1 from day one because of the coaches. They wanted him gone because they hated Boogie and Frank was a big threat to win. |
