Agree with your comments Punk and no one could convince me after 2004's Big Brother (only watched it because of Fitzgerald) that it is not rigged. I know some will pipe up and say "but how can it be, the viewer does the voting" - yes but you can't tell me that station executives won't overrule a vote if they think that ratings will be better by someone being in the house over someone else.
Get sick of Survivor as well. Surely "Survivor - North Korea" can't be too far off.
