No, it's more a case of production ignoring the poll and choosing who they wanted back in. There's no way people legitimately voted for Brendan to come back.

Exactly. I am a little shocked there isn't more outrage over there. There is NO WAY Brendan was voted back in...No F'n Way.

Ugh. This week will be a reply of a couple weeks ago. Boring, Crying, and more boring.

It's losing me....

ETA: The funny thing is that I blame Julie Chen for all the downfalls of this game. She is brutal.

I just don't buy that as a television show you have to cater to what your viewers want and if the majority of viewers wanted Cassi who is the best eye candy to ever appear on the show you would have to think they would be all over that. I don't see them ignoring the poll and putting Brendan back in to turn off viewers. You have to face the fact that there are probably more female viewers/voters judging by Dominic finishing 2nd in voting (really Dominic? His lone achievment was giving his alliance the ultra-lame name of Regulators) and women probably drool over how Brendan treats that toad like a princess. Cassi's just too hot to be universally loved by females as jealousy is rampant in their genes.

I think CBS got lucky that Brendan did get the most votes. I think he would've been the returning houseguest anyway.

The wording from Julie changed from "who do you want to see", to "who did you vote back in".

In her mind anyone should be nominated or evicted but god forbid if she or Brenden has the same thing happen. "everyone is picking on me, BB isn't fair".
I posted that yesterday afternoon, I am pissed off I was right but from what others here are saying i'm glad to see I am not the only one that sees this as CBS directing the game in the motion to where they want it to be.

I've always thought some or all of the twists that Big Brother introduces mid-season were not entirely planned at the outset of the show. I think they like to keep a few options available in the event a popular house guest gets kicked out too early (e.g., Kaysar) or someone flips out and has to be removed from the house. Likewise with some of the double evictions. These things give the producers some flexibility to deal with unfortunate circumstances that history has shown happen pretty much every season.

I just don't believe Allison Grodner and her cronies have things plotted out with such detail at the outset of each season that they could say, for instance, that after week 8 one of the houseguests will have a chance to get voted back in. It leaves the producers open to criticism for meddling in the show and trying to influence the results they want.

Back on topic, has a previously-evicted house guest ever lasted more than a week or two after getting voted back in?

only one who was voted back in was Kaysar I thought?

he went right back out I think

I don't think the vote was rigged, I'm surprised at the result, but the episode before he was evicted Brendan got a really good show, he gave up the PoV to save Rachel, and he was good in his interview with Julie. When he isn't around Rachel he is somewhat likable

Most of the voters were tv watchers as well, where Brendan comes off better than on the feeds

Also, there would have been more drama letting Dom back in as well as it would have evened up the different sides of the house

CBS has been doing this for awhile. They gave the revolting Dick a golden edit on tv complete with his own guitar riff and as a result the America's Choice player voted to keep Dick in the game when he would have be eliminated otherwise.

Remember that there are a lot of Jeff and Jordan fans and all those votes went to Brendon. Not to mention the Brenchel fans all voted for him too. Keith had no shot at winning. Kalia/Dani fans voted for Dominic. Cassi was hot but I figured she would come in 3rd. I thought Dominic was going to win but I am glad he didn't.

Brendon is the most sensitive, biggest pssy I have ever seen. He needs to grow some balls.

James came back in BB9. He was voted out by the house guests and then voted back in on the same day by the house guests. That was the time they had to choose between him or the house guest in the mystery box. If memory serves, James got HOH that week and lasted at least two or three more weeks after that. I could be wrong though.

Amy was brought back in BB3 after being evicted and she stayed until the last week.

I have to say Julie Chen is one of the worst hosts of all time. She has no personality and her delivery is so bad. The best part about the eviction show is that I can skip through half of it.

Not really a big spoiler but in white nonetheless:

If Dani nominates Brendon and Rachel, Brendon told Rachel he is going to play hard for the POV but this time is going to use it on himself and not her. Rachel said she understands.
