Question about production's involvement in jury
Does production try to guide the jury in any way? Not to steer them toward a winner, but to show them how to look at the F2 objectively? Like, who really played the best game, made the boldest moves, etc., regardless of whether or not they liked the outcome. I know Dr. Will has been the moderator in the past. As Tyler said, the jury making a pact to not let a player win ruins the game. What's the point in playing if game-play isn't going to be considered?

I think that is basically done through Dr. Will moderating. That is productions way of trying to knock some sense into the jury members.
Edit: Jury management is part of the game play. If someone loses because of a bitter jury, that just means that they should have worked a little harder on their social game.
This. And it's such a "coincidence" that he's been brought in ever since Dan lost BB14.
I disagree with your edit. Jury management is different from someone voting against you because they think you are entitled or because of the kind of car you drive or because of your race or because you were not part of their alliance. These are bitter and personal reasons. With Paul he did things beyond the pale with his bullying tactics and there may have been some bitterness but he played the game with total disregard for the people he played with.
Yes but we have players who take things personally every season. This is not a new concept. People are people. If someone in the house thinks you are a rich snob, change their minds. Angela did not try to appeal to Rockstar for example when the perception is the Angela gets what she wants and has money and all that nonsense. There was no attempt to appeal to Rockstars emotional side.
The point I guess I'm trying to make is that there will always be emotional players. The greats knew how to appeal to those types of players. So losing a vote to a bitter jury member is still because of your social game/jury management.
Imagine someone has decided to call you a stuck up bitch but never tried to get to know you. You’re going to approach that person. No man R* is petty as fuck and I’m glad almost all of Foutte / Hive is out. Can’t wait for Haleigh to go next.
Yes I will approach that person if it means winning $500,000. And yes Rockstar can be petty but she can also be reasoned with. We saw this when she put her differences aside with Brett her last week. It was genuine on her part. She really thought they could work together. Then he played her hardcore. So her bitterness toward him is justified imo.
The point is, Rockstar showed that she could be reasoned with. No one from L6 really tried tho. That is a mistake on their part.
If I’m in my regular life? Yea sure, fuck R*
But someone needed to tell Angela this isn’t real life, it’s a game, with a 500k prize, and the evicted HGs vote for the winner.
Also, Angela didn’t ever have to approach R*, literally all she had to do to get her vote was have a less mean goodbye message. I honestly don’t think Angela understands how the winner is decided, her actions don’t make sense if she does.
If you give everyone the impression that you’re spoiled/entitled, and they choose not to vote for you, id say that’s just bad jury management still! I’m of the “there is no wrong way to vote” school of thought. By making it to jury, you earn the right to vote however you please, be it for an alliance member, a friend, or the person you think played the best game. Predicting how people will vote, and getting some potential bitter jurors out pre-jury is also a key part of the game, although you couldn’t tell if this was the only season you watched.
I’m late, but to add to that, he didn’t own up to puppeteering in his GBMs or his speech to the jury. Yeah, he was a giant bully, but the stupidest thing he did was not owning up to his moves.
