Someone like Janelle a high wage earning waitress? hostess?working one day a week with her sights set on rich guys and travelling or someone like Maggie...a highly educated nurse with her sights on medical school. Both have mouths on them. But I dont care to judge who is more worthy of a win. Anyone who braves that house for the whole time period is a winner! I always feel bad for the third placer.

I missed it. And this HOH had to be replayed. I'd have said the same thing if Janelle had won the first time. This game would have lost any credibility it had left if CBS had allowed the original result to stand. No discussion needed. A person called me who never watches Big Brother after the show and said: "What the F*** was that?" Glad they got it right. That was one of the main reasons I went to bed disgusted.

Yup, other times were ify, this one was very obvious, Howie pressed his button first and it didn't register. There was no way for BB to finese around it, it was a bad screwup and they had to do it over. Even Julie was looking a little weird when the camera went back on her

Actually, the other players can't seem to find ways to beat her. I get sick of this conspiracy crap.

I was being sarcastic woody....I don't even have the feeds. I still say those out before Howie's mishap should have stayed out or those that answered wrong. Answering wrong has nothing to do with faulty buzzers.

Sun, Was the video you watched showing just one feed or all four? I had the four feed, and the only closeup I saw of Janelle was when it was final 2 and she won, it zoomed in on her. In fact, when it was the final question Boogie and Janelle were on two feeds, and the HGs out of the comp were on the other 2. When Janelle won, the camera on one feed zoomed in on her, and the other switched to a shot that showed the "horse stand" they answer the questions from the side and Boogie was shown leaving his box and Janelle came out to get the HOH key.

I know, Nick. I certainly wasn't after you. I've been reading the Board for the past half an hour and I'm a bit mystified by the thinking.

If everyone accepts that the producers screwed up big time, and had no choice from a legal standpoint but to redo the comp, from beginning to end, because ANY ONE of the losers could have made a justifiable stink, and, that they ALL had a second chance, then the concept of a fix is ludicrous. Seems to me as if the producers have been sticking it to Janie for weeks, on the show, and that WILL is the one who they think is their star. Too bad the star is having too good a time being a bad boy to bother playing their games!

I get sick of this conspiracy crap. I do too. Although I don't think we mean it the same way. I don't like or dislike Janelle so all is good in my world. What I don't like is BB wasting my time with a show that is a total farce. If they want Janelle to have the money why not do a Rupert. Just put a link up have us vote and give her the money in a one hour show. I will now reclaim my summer! Wow that feels good.

Also, do the cameras show different views from the quad came to when you switch to just one? When Boogie saw the ghost face in the mirror, I had the quad cam up and it showed Boogie, Eirca and Janelle from the side...and then Boogie pushed them out of the way when he got freaked. But later that same night, I saw a video on You Tube that showed the angle from behind Boogie that showed the mirror where the face showed up. That view was not in my quad cam...so I wonder if I had clicked on a single cam I would have gotten the different camera angle. Has anyone else ever noticed that? Where a single cam view of an event was not the view previewed on the quad cam?

why didn't they start redo HOH from the time Howie's buzzer didn't work

That would have been ideal! Start from the first malfunction. But what I think sucks is that from what I see of the players, the Sov would have an advantage playing the game the second time, especially if they lost the first. They probably were going over all the questions and knowing there was a problem with Howie's buzzer, questions that COULD be asked, maybe not verbally, but at least in thier heads. While Erika and Dani had moved on to game play, HOH rooms, and food!

I'd like to see a co-HOH. It would be more fair. And wouldn't it be interesting to see Janelle and Erika try to cope with each other?

Boogie's buzzer/lights didn't work prior to the problem with Howie's buzzer/lights. So, that means they should have to restart from before that question (which would mean Janelle is still in it.) However, any other houseguest who was already out would now have a legitimate rationale to sue CBS stating that faulty equipment could have led to their losing that game. So, in order to avoid any potential issues, a total redo using different equipment is the most prudent thing for CBS to do. Let's say they restarted from where they were when Boogie's buzzer/lights didn't work. Boogie wins and noms Marcellas and CG. Marcellas was the second one eliminated in the first HOH comp. Marcellas gets evicted. You don't think Marcellas would sue? MARCELLAS? They had no choice but to do a total redo. The HGs have no legal standing now because the first HOH clearly had errors, while the second one didn't.

Emercat - because there would have been tons of litigation. You have to start from the beginning and give everyone the same chance, or you risk have those you exclude at the beginning of the second comp sue you. It's just a legal fact. I have been around the legal field too long and know this is just the way it happens. We live in an overly litigous society. Redstar - I didn't like the co-HOH with Jase and Janelle - it allows one person to really play the other and blame them for the other for the decisions, and while it does make for conflict, I think it puts too much of an unfair target on one of the co-HOHs. And I like the conflict and all the drama, but it's just a little too much. JMHO.

Mocha - don't leave - we will miss you. There will be high drama and mistakes happen. Even on live TV. Julie already screwed up on the live show at least twice - one announcing who had won an HOH and once when she called Dani Diane (the second I thought was priceless.)

Can anyone tell me did what if anything Erika had to say about it. What was Danielle's reaction?

The "Conspiracy" theory is hilarious! Even if my least favourite players of all time...the twins...had won HoH on a redo in their season and my fave had to hand over the key from said re-do...I would not have called it a set up...it's amazing how everything is a conspiracy these days...everything...even a lowly replacement show in the summer...where internet fans take things way too seriously.

But the entire new comp. was different. I mean, the whole point of the "hauntings" was this comp. and Erika nailed it. I'm just torn. Of course, things needed to be rectified BUT I still think it is unfair to Erika. I think Janelle and Erika should be the "co-hoh's" like the 1st one.

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. I just wanted to cry after seeing him last night. As for the conspiracy theories regarding Janelle...sorry, not buying into it. If there was a conspiracy for Janelle to win the gams by BB, Kaysar would still be in the house and James would be gone. Don't you all remember how many competitions Janelle won last year? She's a damn good player in competitions. I just wish the dear girl would wake up and see people for what they are in the house. I always wanted to be a BB contestant, but after this season I'm not sure I'd want to anymore. As long as I could remember that the likelihood is every single person in the house was going to say something bad about me, I'd probably be ok. It would just be so hard to form a bond with someone and then find out they said all of this smack behind your back (i.e. Marcie about Janelle). That would just really hurt...long after BB was over.
