Big Brother producer talks about rigging/feeds accusasations

[Loopulk]

Guys, they even said they needed to block out singing because they might get sued! Okay? Seriously, if they get sued the prices go up, then you'd all be complaining.

[suppabo]

He just said rigging would never happen.

BB13 was 934879537495% rigged.

[grreeneyeguy]

Gretchen greedy?? wtf they pay for live feeds it's not included in basic cable subscription. what a dumb ass.

[LighterB]

Well what else is he going to say? "Yes we do rig it"?? lies!

[bookiewormie1]

He must of retired because that Pandora box duo definitely rigged the game for Jordan and Rachel.

[tmwalkerm]

@bookiewormie1 no actually he isn't retired, people need to GET OVER IT, NOTHING WAS RIGGED!!!! THE GAMES ARE PREDETERMINED BEFORE THE GAME EVEN STARTS!!!

[jcblueeyes2276]

"Rigged" may be the wrong word...but the order of competitions is adjusted to favor certain HGs at key times. To believe otherwise would need for us to believe that it's plain COINCIDENCE that the person who needs to win or is been favored, gets a competition to play to their strengths. There are WAY too many "coincidences" in BB. Rigged, no..since the players still have to play, but the influence goes above and beyond fair play.

[THEPOCONOJOECHANNEL]

Your such a fucking asshole You have to try to make a vid reversing Your traits? Who the fuck cares? Who the F are You trying to explain Yourself to who? Why the stupid white chick that laughs like a henina and why the stupid guy that says well I dont know? You just said You blocked things! BULLSHIT! FUCK YOUR CBS ATTORNEYS!

[Qdawg121]

BB wasnt rigged in the past. but hell yeah its blocked now and if you think this is real then your a fucking idiot . America HATES Brendon and you think theyd actually vote for him back????? I thought it was the truth but then pandoras box comes and practically pulls rach and jordan to finals. if they didnt have the double eviction live. then jeff would be their prob to.

[AnotherDayOfThis]

I completely understand if they cut the feed when they are playing a game cause they want us to see it on CBS. I get that. What I don't get is how they can sing every damn 5 minutes or if they are talking about something and it could be defamatory to a person and yet they are never penalized. Bring better people into the game or tell these fuckers to stop singing or there will be consequences. They always get away with singing and yet BB choose to do nothing about it.

[Addicted2ThisSite]

Oh so I supposed it wasn't rigged when Kalia won her first H.O.H? When Julie asked the first question for Jordan and Kalia, she said "During an eviction ceremony, who refer to the other houseguest as..." Kalia hit that button quickly and what do you know? She got it right. Pfftt.

[kfostermusicman]

It may not have been rigged back then...but it is most certainly rigged now...For all those who think this is REAL...I'm sure you love Wrestling...

[victorwellington825]

LIES LIES LIES AND MORE LIES.

The 2011 season PROVES this show is RIGGED!

Shame on you BB

[161bieberfever]

big brother is NOT RIGGED people like come on , just because the person you hate ( brendon ) came back, apparrently its rigged? if it was rigged jeff amf daniele would still be here..

[pakatu]

@161bieberfever you are an idiot. Look at all the diary room feeds. It is rigged you moron

[Ryuzaki444]

@161bieberfever The show is rigged. Look at the latest feeds regarding Rachel and Jordan in the upcoming veto competition. It is obvious that BB production wanted to protect at least one of them.

[Fcreceptor]

The show is so manipulated that HGs from nearly all seasons have been heard saying they are told information in the DR, games are fixed for certain players, and on and on. It's a scam 100%. Even leaked DR convos prove this. This newest season Dani is being fed in the DR while she is a have-not and mentioning her friends in production. Seriously. You have to be blind to thing these reality shows are not bogus.

[lampman67]

RIGGED. example: this past thursday brenden returned.......yea right like does america really like brendon. it was tolltally dominic or cassie fucking big brother

[kurtywurty85]

@lampman67 I saw one the polls (that someone made on another site) and a lot of people wanted Brendon back. People either like Brenchal (uch), wanted him back so Rachel would shut the fuck up, or they think that having him back will make the show more exciting. I do think that it is rigged to some degree but I'm not sure if it was in the case of Brendon coming back.

[thebuckrogers22]

bb is rigged. cuz last season i was watching some of the live feed and this one house guest kept getting in trouble cuz they were trying to get the guest to keep one house guest over the other and they didnt want to. so when they came out the diary room and mentioned it they got in trouble and had to go back in . so wtf ever

[goodbyevmtv]

All tv shows are in a sense rigged. At the end of the day, nobody wants a real show, you want an "entertaining" show. I don't care if its rigged, I pretend its not. Hey, thats tv lol

[swanpuppy]

u block it wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too much to have to pay for it so none for me next year

[mnbfavor]

this show is rigged jus heard ragan say that the dr tipped him off about an alliance of guys (brigade) wtf bb

[msett91]

If it was rigged, Maggie and the Nerd Herd wouldn't have won BB6...I think it probably got rigged around BB8 and they became addicted to it and its been rigged ever since.

[hockeybo71]

complete bullshit. they rig it.

[2medium2]

is it really greedy to expect what you paid for?

[StunningSophia7]

BULLSHIT!!! i remember during BB8 there was a moment on the feeds when jameka & jessica were talking like the people in the diary room told them they HAD to vote to keep eric in that week and suddenly it went offline and they blocked it.

[paaaantsueto]

shapiro didn't produce BB8, that fat grodner bitch did

[StunningSophia7]

ohh i see. dont know her but HATE HER lol

[candysweet434]

i wish arnold shapiro would come back. alison grodner fucking sucks.

[codyb2coool]

I think i have already commented on this video but i dont care............. what other tv show lets u do click on when u want? wel thats true but what other tv show makes u pay $20 a month none were not greedy we just want our moneys worth!!

[bluntedinatx]

this guys lying through his teeth

[misterfisherman]

you notice how in the uk the party animal type of contestant who reaches the end,doesnt win and instead its the goody two shoes that wins.the uk big brother producers want a PC winner,someone who represents blah blah

[frenchbydesign]

if you do not care who wins then why do you EDIT to make some people look better than others....this is BS....take it as a personal afront Mr Producer - and face it the way it is - you need to fix the mistakes.

[stoofers68]

Thanks gretchen, we're greedy and you are getting paid to kiss ass. That's a really subjective opinion.

[caseyinvegas]

It's not greed when you pay for it. All 4 feeds on one person sleeping when there is activity elsewhere in the house? Feeds blocked for no reason. The list goes on and on. We pay for 24/7 live feeds. It's nowhere near.

[azh01e]

Greedy? We pay for it, asking for what we pay for is being greedy? Your logic is seriously flawed.

[codyb2coool]

OMG this is the guy who blocks the feeds!!!! the house will be completly quiet and the damn fishes will come on they blcok when ever they feel like it i have watched shoWtime and bb live feeds at the same time and the feeds will be blocked and showtime will still be on and NOTHING IS GOING ON the feeds rip you off I cant stand it!!!!! It is FALSE ADVERTISING it is not EVEN close to 24/7!!!! NOT EVEN CLOSE!!!

[incorruptablecrown]

Is this the lame voice that says 'stop that!' and 'please come to the diary room' ? Worst BB voice in a series anywhere in the world.

[atomicPipe]

would he like to explain why there are videos on youtube of house guests from season 9 talking to each other about the producers trying to sway votes in the Diary Room? Adam talking to Ryan about not putting James up on the block because the producers told him it was in his best interest not to is what comes to my mind...

[speshulk1976]

Apperantly that is why Arnold probably left the show 2 years ago as producer....cuz ETHICS and BB just do not co-habitate. I don't know if he voluntarily left or was let go but he probably did not have the stomach for it anymore. I personally preferred Arnold to Allison Grodner.

[sdrail]

Fucking liar! The production crew have bets with eachother about the show every season!

[grits207]

I understand if they block the feeds when somebody sings or something but they block it every fucking time that a producer speaks over the PA which is ridiculous. I like the feeds and I can live with the cuts but don't call the fans greedy for wondering why they can't see what they are paying $15 a month for. Fuck that dumb, plastic cunted whore.

[saltidor]

oh come on it wasnt rigged.. you still upset for dick winning.. the only influence from the outside was eric as americas player and if zach would of won the last hoh he would have won.. so get over it

[Noraa972]

o shut up gretchen, we weren't greedy

[Wheeloffortunefan999]

i remember watching this on cbs!

[qweruiopnmnmnm]

um bunky is a dumbass and gretchen is a bitch.

what would they define producers influencing houseguests' votes as if not rigging?

[KatMeows]

LIE! You DO block at times when Showtime is STILL ON!

[bullzhitter77]

google:

big brother 8 rigged

[IronViking]

Amazing how stupid they think we are. Nice try on spin. They failed.

[lostnthefuture]

This entire season was fixed, and anyone with half a brain can tell.

[booboo900]

yes he is an idiot as well as any1 who works 4 him

[Lazereye]

Arnold is an idiot. For him to say he doesn't have a personal favourite is a pure lie. Of course he has a fave, just like anyone else who watches the show. Has for the show being intentionally rigged...well, I can't say it is and I can't say it isn't.

[Noraa9700]

what i don't get is that although we didn't c that hoh from the perspective of 7 or 8 different cameras, we could hear howie saying "I hit it! I hit it!" so they should have just trusted them and checked the tape without us having 2 email them, and how did the viewers get arnold's number?

[Noraa9700]

how could singing cause them 2 b fined?

[TR32006]

because songs are copyrighted.. and if they air it.. they have to pay for the copyright. Thats what I have been told anyway.

[bmoecardinals]

Copyright rules. They would have to pay whoever wrote the song for its use and I believe this happened during the first season.

[ennaitx]

hahah! my sister works for him (arnie)!

[letsjustdance]

I'm glad I don't have to sit there and stare at them, listening to the minutae of their conversations...it would be interesting for a while, but when the novelty wore off, it would be an exhausting job...don't you think?

[8394147]

The show isn't rigged... that's illegal. Just because Jamesth Whine yells about it being rigged literally everytime something doesn't go his way, that doesn't mean it's true.

[letsjustdance]

Very interesting..thanks for posting this.

[WebRat1]

My pleasure. I was actually in agreement with the producer until Gretchen accused the users of being "greedy" for expecting to get what they paid for. She should have kept her mouth shut there IMHO.
