At least you know how rigorous Brendon and Rachel are in the bedroom with the way her legs stay wrapped around something for so long with little to no effort.
I KNEW there was a reason he was with her. Lars is dumb as hell for thinking his real girl blow up doll is wifey material.
Why are the producers always showing Kahlia eating and talking with her mouth and eyes wide open all at the same time. Are they trying to gross us out.
I agree this is a wasted season. 10-1 Rachel ends up the winner. It has to work that way, right CBS.
You said the rigging is more obvious. Why do you think that it is rigged?
I'll tell you why I do.
First of all, we have no verification of 'America's Vote' for Brendan to get back into the house. They can say it's whatever they want to say. Funny, isn't it, how America supposedly voted for the re-entrant who would create the biggest Rachel mood swings? This despite that many people seem to dislike past contestants being re-cast?
Then comes the aftermath of Dani and Jeff being evicted. Looks like Jordan and Rachel are on the ropes with Porsche HoH. So what do we do? Set up a twist that will enable them both to come off the block if either wins veto--and make sure it's one designed for Rachel to win! (Strong legs, moderately athletic, and a picture of Brendan to wrap the legs around. If she can't win that with her future in the game on the line, she truly would be hopeless.)
Then there are the very persistent snippets we have gotten for years now about how in the DR, the producers openly pressure and cajole and influence how they will vote. Some people have strong will, but some don't, and when you are isolated in a place where you depend upon an outside agency for everything relating to your comfort, there is a fundamental intimidation factor. Producers can not only make their lives hell if they choose, they can make them look like hell in front of the TV audience.
This is why I call it Rigged Brother. They tried not rigging it the first time, and they got three boring guys going to the end liking each other. The only remotely interesting aspect was that one was missing a leg. Now they orchestrate everything to the greatest extent they can. If anyone trusts and believes 'America's Vote' as honest, they are too credulous in my view.

I agree there is some activity in the DR to influence the players.
The twist with the double veto though is not as set up as you imply. porsche did not have to open pandoras box. Thats the only reason that came into play. if she had said no then there would be no way to introduce the duo scene.
The choice was ultimately HOH to make and open that up. Sure I believe the producers set it up to get R and J off the block if HOH opened pandoras box, but the choice was still HOH not a blatant rigging.

Have to, no, but they know these people pretty well by now. They knew she would do it. Especially if they dangled some money in front of her, a young woman for whom $5K is significant. Had it been someone other than Porsche, I believe the reward would have been tailored to lure them. That combined with the sudden return of the duo twist--which helped the veterans more than anyone--tells me it was as blatant a rigging as they felt they could get away with. And for all we know, had the HoH not opened it, they might have made it possible for others to open it. One way or another, that box was coming open, I'll wager.
I suppose it's less blatant than just declaring the return of the duo twist by fiat. In the sense that robbing a convenience store with a fake gun is less blatant than robbing with a real one, maybe.
What offends me about it is the insult to the viewers' intelligence. I'm a viewer, and I'm not pleased they insulted my intelligence. For them to imagine that I'd believe this was long planned in advance, and thus would have happened at this point no matter what the situation in the sound stage (it's not a house), amounts to saying "we think you'll fall for something this obvious." Not enthused one bit.
