The fact nobody has posted in here in so long should tell you just how much this season has sucked Oh hell, I stopped watching two weeks ago. I've never not finished out a season of something like this, but there's only so big a level of blatant rigging I can take. Although I just got word that didn't exactly piss me off: {Spoiler}Porsche won the Veto and she'll be the sole deciding vote this week between Rachel and Jordan, and she fully intends to send Jordan and her pathetically inflated sense of self entitlement out the door. We've been spared the worst possible two time winner in the history of anything, ever.

I haven't watched ever since I read about Pandora's Box, and I thought "the producers are trying to fix the show again." That tuned me out.

If you're able to watch past seasons somehow, I recommend seasons 2 and 10. Those two are my absolute two favorite seasons. Not surprisingly, there were no stupid twists, no major meddling by production (as far as I know) and IMO, they had two very deserving winners. I wouldn't put Big Brother in the Survivor and Amazing Race echelon of reality competition shows but this is a particularly bad season to be your first lol.

If anyone wants to watch previous seasons and you don't mind extended youtube viewing, PM me. I found a guy on there who has good quality seasons uploaded, including the two Roxie is talking about.

I figured that this thread died two weeks ago. So anyway now that all the real players are gone I am actually pulling for Rachel even though a win for her should be split with Allison Grodner

Porsche & Rachel F2 is the only acceptable permutation because it's the only one that solidifies that that feckless (thanks Shambo), spineless jelly fish Adam doesn't win a cent of even runner up money.
It's not his general sticking with the vets - it's his sticking with the vets and doing absolutely nothing but suck up and blindly following with whatever they say. He won nothing and contributed no strategy. He reeks of the nerdy kid being desperate to hang out with the "cool" kids - and much like in HS, the "cool" kids are never actually the ones most people like.
The best part is him having the nerve to tell Porsche to "step up" and "earn it, kid." Listen, bozo, she's the one who was coming in second a zillion times before actually EARNING her wins. You had a veto thrown to you (which you then spoke about as though you finally earned a win), won another veto legit and won the one HOH where a veto win is infinitely more important (won by that "kid" who needs to "step up" and "earn it", may I add.) It figures you'd win the one HOH where there's no blood on your hands.
I have no issue with throwing challenges as a strategy - Dr. Will and Dan both did it brilliantly. The thing was, they were absolutely KILLING the social and strategic ends of the game. They were manipulating the game despite their lack of overt power. Adam hasn't done this. Sure, Rachel is annoying and Adam was probably less offensive than her but no one respects Adam because he's so wimpy. You don't have much of a social game if people don't respect you because they view you as gutless.
He's nauseating.

It absolutely pisses me off that he's anywhere near the end of the game while other players who actually played correctly (Danielle, Jeff for examples) are gone

May as well come back for the finale in a half hour. If Porsche or Rachel win this at least I can live with that.

Each person's best chance to win in a jury vote (in my opinion): Rachel over Adam Porsche over Adam Adam over Porsche (I still feel like Porsche would beat Adam)

I just can't take Jordan seriously when she gets so adamant about people not playing the game. What the hell have you done over two seasons?
