| Topic | Top 5 Worst Rigjobs in the History of Big Brother US |
| Peridiam 07/14/17 1:07:33 AM #18: | Rigjob #3: Big Brother 13, Week 8 Synopsis: Final 6. It's 4 newbies vs. 2 returning players. A newbie wins HoH, nominates both returning players. Then a twist called 'Pandora's Box' happens where if the HoH opens the box, something good or bad might happen - it's exactly like the BB19 Den of Temptation. Except production made the newbie HoH open the box and so the cast was paired up, 2 v 2 v 2. The veto competition favors one of the returning players, she wins, pulls both herself and the other returning player off the block, and thus both are saved another week. Kill me. From an emotional standpoint, this would be my #1. I hated this moment and it's likely my least favorite moment in all of Survivor/BB/TAR. It's so blatant, so obvious, so mind-numbingly stupid, that I can't fathom how anyone can look at Rachel Reilly as the winner and not slap a big asterisk next to her name. I don't blame people for quitting this season at this moment. Somehow I made it this far and still reached the end. Big Brother 13 is one of the most heavily manipulated seasons of BB, it's so slanted in favor of one alliance from the beginning of the season to the end, just about every single week, and it's disgusting to watch as a fan of the show. The outcome of the show is worthless, it brings nothing to the table, and yet many fans are OK with the season existing because the narrative crafted by the edit went only in favor of one direction: toward the returning players. So of course when a returning player, the main star of the edit, goes on to win, it's a SAVED season-long story of her trials and tribulations that makes the season somehow bearable as a result. No. It's bullshit. The cast of BB13 is actually pretty good, too. But the pairs twist, the golden key twist, the BATTLEBACK 1v1 with a fan vote with a veteran propped up by the edit versus a bunch of newbie nobodies who held no power all pre-jury and accomplished nothing, was pretty shitty from week to week. We lost a great bunch of newbie players in favor of a bunch of overrated vets who sucked at the game and oftentimes sucked as people too. But hey, "fan favorites" means all bets are off with production. How I'm expected to care about a heavily-slanted, season-long, multi-faceted rigjob of a show is quite a task, but somehow I still did. So we get to the Final 6. Rachel Reilly and Jordan Lloyd are two of the dumbest returning players in BB history. Chicken George would give them a run for their money. Somehow Porsche wins HoH and naturally nominates both of their sorry asses. Then Pandora's Box appears, of course, and Porsche is forced to open it (as she's said post-show). Either way, it's quite clear that every HoH has to open the box. I don't expect otherwise. It's never not been opened for a reason. It's bullshit, but nothing new after BB11 & 12. Because Porsche opened the box, the new ~*random*~ twist is that everyone in the house is now paired together again! WoWOowoOWowOw!!!!1 WHERE DID THAT COME FROM?! That's so convenient! Thank God Porsche opened the box, am I right? So now Rachel and Jordan are a pair, and despite both being nominated, if either wins the veto they BOTH GET SAVED! THERE'S A BB GOD AFTER ALL!! I'm fucking done with this shit. So of course the veto competition is THE EXACT COMPETITION AS THE FIRST HOH, THE ONE THAT RACHEL WON AND WAS ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD AT. You know, the one where she does nothing but cling to a giant banana (Brendon) for as long as possible? Her competition is rapidly-gaining-weight Porsche, overweight, out of shape Kalia, fucking Adam, and Shelly, the 41-year-old leatherfaced, inactive chainsmoker from the marshes of Louisiana. Oh, and Jordan. I guess. So Rachel wins easily. As expected. She takes herself and Jordan off the block, up goes Shelly and Adam, and Shelly gets evicted because she just took out fan fave Jeff. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
