someone posted this earlier: CBS/BB Producers can do whatever they want with this show; it's not classified as a game show nor subject to those laws Last night Marcellas said BB is a game show that must follow game show rules. Since he works for CBS, I would think he'd know what he was talking about, but who knows. Just putting this out there...

And Marcellas also said he would be going to the lawyers when he got out, sure he is.

"After Kaysar getting voted out last night, I was yearning for a Survivor type vote where we the audience would give one of the All-Stars 500K. Kaysar would win it hands down." Why? Because like Survivor, these shows tend to allow the scum to rise to the top (with some exceptions). It is nearly impossible to win a reality show contest without lying, manipulating, or backstabbing. It would be nice to award an amount to someone who has tried to play the game with as much goodness as possible.}

Thing is Kaysar didnt play till the day before he got evicted. I happen to like this twist of the replay of the HOH if only for the fact that it totally turns things upside down.

Marcellas going to the lawyers - as we all know, Marcellas is full of hot air. I'll believe it when I see it. He behaves in an immature fashion so much of the time. He needs to grow up - then I would consider him much more amusing and maybe give a little creedence to his actions. JMHO.

Marcellas a lawyer, Amac? I don't think the guy is intelligent enough, nor is he that motivated to take the LSAT, get into/through law school, and pass the California Bar exam. He would wimp out about halfway through the LSAT and go hire some TV guide attorney, since he is so into TV.

Poppy, I said Marcellas was going to a lawyer, not going to be a lawyer.

Who knows if a fix was on or not. I think for some people that the whole turn of events last night just reeks in many ways. For me, I find it odd that after six and half years of past "technical difficulties", the producers "decide to redo" this specific HOH when Janelle had lost AND can't play for POV this week. It's a perception of bias; whether one exists or not. I won't stop watching though (unlike many who were when Janelle wasn't HOH); but, I'll watch this season with a bit of a skeptical eye from now on.

From what I'm gathering, the only glaringly obvious error last night was Howie, but a lot of the HG's appeared to have had the same error. Either way the HG's will maybe get a bit of a nicer stipend - anyone catch my meaning-.

"I won't stop watching though (unlike many who were when Janelle wasn't HOH)..." "Many"? 2 or 3 probably. Not "many".

Survivor ... there was more than one. Boogies didn't light up, and James said to Howie that he had to hit the buzzer more than once to get it to light up. There is no telling if that was the case for other folks. It's obvious there were technical problems (which were telecast), and that opens BB to lawsuits by the HGs much more than it does by them simply re-doing the whole comp.

I don't understand why BB should be sued because of a technical malfunctions.... They didn't break a contract/promise....didn't purposely or negligently harm someone...didn't commit a crime against anyone... Crap happens...technical difficulties occur all the time...CBS took steps to rectify the error... Why should they be sued again???

BB voided the first HOH comp due to tech problems, thus it never happened. Everyone started the new comp on equal ground. The fact that it was Obvious Howie had hit his button and that both boogie and james also had issues left BB with no choice but to throw out that comp and redo it. It had nothing to do with jani not winning the first time and everything to with the integrity of the game. Jani may have won but it wasn't handed to her by BB, (boogie and james may have handed to her but not BB)

You guys also seem to not realize what a trainwreck it would be if they stopped the competition on live TV. In television you stick to the script if at all possible.

Aside from the result... Can you imagine how incompetent CBS has to be if they cannot properly hook a light bulb to a switch and battery? What makes it worse is, either they tested it before the comp or they didnt. It is not like they were building a rocket ship.

If BB was handing Janie the competitions, why didn't she just win the first time? The conspiracy theories really start getting tossed around when the person who wins is disliked.

Come on people! Erika had just as much a chance to win HOH the second time. I could understand the complaints if they kept her out of the HOH comp.

Are we sure it was CBS doing the technical stuff? Maybe they hire contractors to build their competition sets. Some of those things are pretty involved.... Incompetency of this kind happens to us all at one time or another...

Does anyone think that this might lal be an act on Erika's part? Moan and groan and hope that guilt will stop Janelle from nominating her. Maybe she was just as shocked that she won the HOH and that James button stuck too. I am thinking that Erika is secretly glad it all worked out this way and got her off the hot seat.
