Rigged?

I was watching this on GSN and noticed one of the contestants was an actor named Skyler Stone who went on to have his own show on Comedy Central called "Con." If anyone ever saw "Con," the show was about how well the guy could BS. Everything on Dog Eat Dog just so happened to work out in his favor and he ended up winning. After realizing there was an actor as a contestent I had to wonder if any of the other contestants were in on it. I would assume since this show wasn't that great in the first place that they were perhaps more concerned about making "good tv" than having a real contest. Does anyone else think this show was rigged, or have any similar stories about other shows?

I just watched an episode of this show. I think they rig the questions in the final round. Whoever is losing, whether it be the Top Dog or the Dog Pound, the question is really easy or really hard. They always try to make it go down the the 5th and final question. In fact, I've seen about 10 episodes of this show, and in 9 out of 10, the final round always goes to the 5th and last question.

This show was definitely rigged in the final round when it comes to the top dog vs. the dog pound because no matter how silly or hard or weird the questions, they ALWAYS made it to a tie-breaker in the end. I don't know how they did it, but they did.

This show was edited way too much as well. I bet they shot a lot of questions/answers that weren't made into broadcast so they could have close final rounds. I don't know. It's just weird how in EVERY EPISODE it comes down to a tie-breaker. It's like please.

Take it easy. We're not making a western here.

I read this thread tonight while watching a rerun on Game Show Network, and ironically in this particular episode, the girl who made it to the end lost because the Dog Pound got the first three questions correct.
