Have to get this off my chest as a BB Fan and Feedster
08/21/16 09:34 AM




Yes, it's about the video of Natalie saying "mom & dad" want me working with you and Corey".

There was a video showing "mom and dad" aka DR pressuring Nat to join with Nicorey...so no ifs, ands or buts. It's still out there on twitter (with a close up full face of Natalie saying it) I'm so disappointed since I saw that video. I feel production itself has completely ruined BB for me. I knew production manipulated somewhat but I thought just for show purposes not actual dynamics that could take a person out of the chance at the prize. It really pisses me off.

I know ppl will say DR can suggest but they can't force you. That is true but they can put a lot of pressure on you and this is the show that is paying you to be on this show most would bend just at that. Then there would be the fear of well if I don't do that, will they then target me and try to get an HG to go against me? We saw a short clip of Victor mentioning how DR called him an idiot for targeting Nicole/Corey/Paulie but he didn't play ball and now look where he is at.

I can see it in Nat's face, she had an agenda, felt she was playing the game and she felt she was doing good...now you can see this resolve of "oh I have to do what they want". You can see it in her demeanor and how she is saying things now. Trying to justify things with silliness. The way she looks at James when they talk "strategy".

So they not only ruined one of my fave BB vets (James) for me but now the whole show is ruined for me. What's the point when I know they are going to rig it. Even if it was rigged for ppl I like or faves of mine, I still would not like it one bit...it's cheating. Cheating the game, cheating the HGs and cheating the fans. I'm disgusted by it. I suppose I'm just naive.

Yes I know it's a TV show but how would you feel if you were a player in the game and come to find out later they screwed you in your chance at winning the big prize? Or if you're their darling, sure great, I get to go to the end but did I really earn my way there or did the show just do "their thing" and got me there. I would rather earn my way to the end.

You know tomorrow I may get over it but even now I go to the boards and I see comments and questions that I at one time would have an opinion on and think yeah this or that blah blah blah but then I remember suddenly that video and think oh yeah it doesn't matter, it's all fixed and I wind up deleting or erasing my comment and not post at all.

I don't think every year has been like that but the last several years have been horrible and each season just gets worse and worse with more rigging, stupid HGs, recruits/ppl who know each other or have some kind of outside connections, etc etc., the same stupid comps over and over again. The old days of BB were far better, the house divided, power flipping back and forth and true battles to get to the end or maybe I'm wrong, maybe it was always rigged for who they wanted at the the end. There have been seasons where I loved who made it to finals and won and others that I was like you got to be kidding me but it was the game or was it?

I hope I get over this and think oh screw it, ok so you know it's going to go this way but you can still pretend and chat otherwise or maybe they rig again to switch it back another way, I don't know...but that video it's just haunting me...how blatant it was. Really sucks as a long time BB fan and feed watcher since Season 1.

I just needed to get it off my chest to other BB fans who can agree or disagree or clarify something for me or tell me I'm a fruit loop dinghus...LOL. But I feel better just sharing it.

xx * Hiyas MadVelvet! We seem to have this convo every year but actually much more often over the last 3-4. Perhaps this is also why we've been blocked

xx * there have been several blatant examples of DR overstepping their bounds, if you will. Two come to mind, Rachel said on feeds that DR told her there
