You obviously trust television producers way more than I do.

Wuzzled,
I don't trust them, I don't trust them at all, but what I was saying is that IF for some reason we were to find out it WAS rigged, I think the show should be boycotted...

I definitely agree that reality shows like Survivor, Joe Millionaire, and The Bachelor edit their shows to pull you in a specific direction. These shows are taped months before they are aired and, since the producers know the outcome, they can edit however they like. This keeps the viewership up.
This is a little trickier with "live" shows (such as Fame and American Idol). However, I do believe that the anyone who has a vested interest (such as a record company, producer or talent agent) has an idea who they want to win. I belive that the judges are then told to push one of the performers over the others (such as Ruben on AI - great singer, but he did have some off performances, which were never commented on).
I don't necessary feel that they are "fixed", but do feel that they are manipulated in such a way that those with a financial interest in the outcome come out on top.
yep, that makes me wonder how Harlem would be a nightmare for these industry guys to market and why they would for sure prefer a shannon or alex to win : a no-brainer in terms of old school marketing tricks.
How do you go selling a little googled asian guy???
You have to invent a strategy for AAAAAAAAMERICA.
