The show was not rigged as many would like to believe. It is AGAINST THE LAW to cheat a game show. I do not think FOX would break the law and fix a show.
The show should have been an hour long, but it didn't so i'm over it. They had 8-12 million viewers EVERY week. Sure any show after Idol will do pretty good, but this is the best ratings an after idol show has every received. So as much as some "hate" the show, they did something right. Some of you people can't handle reality, and to me this is reality at it's greatest. Sure there were some actors, but actors are real people.
It's a giant human experiment, putting people in a closed environment with no fresh air, no ability to tell day from night, no contact with the outside world. Some crack, some hold strong, some don't do much at all.
All in all, the concept was great, the show was good. I think Fox will attempt a seconds season, with it being a bit more planned out.
