I just emailed CBS and complained about how the HOH competition was handled this week. I wrote that I thought that those who had been out due to incorrect answers should not have been allowed to play in the second game. I also suggested that Janelle and Erika should be co-HOH and that is the only way to be fair in this situation. I encourage you all to go to the CBS site and submit your comments on the situation. I truly believe that the whole situation was handled poorly.

Redstar - since it was determined there WAS a tech glitch, it stands to reason there could have been other glitches not known to the hg's prior to Howie's. The first person out might not have been the last to buzz in! The comp had to be completely redone. Period.

Wow...every year people get mad at how the show is going and write to CBS. It will be forgotten in a week when Janie is unfortunately nominated and booted.

We need a thread, "It's BB's fault..." I nearly started one this morning, but we've already got the "Dear BB" thread, and it's all meaningless because they don't give a darn.

I can't think of any reason why Erika should get HOH. If you think of one, let me know.

And another thing. Since the HOH competition had to be redone using a different type of game, the first game's results could not possibly be used to determine the players for the replacement(second) game. It is as if the first game never actually happened. CBS got it right. Finally. As in baseball....game was postponed. Save your stubs.

We've seen through past attempts that writing to CBS does absolutetly nothing. Erika does not deserve HOH. I think for once that BB did the appropriate thing in re-doing the entire comp (regardless of who won the re-do, it was only fair to include all competitors.)

They determined there were glitches with the buttons - so it could have been possible that someone hit the "true" button, and "false" lit up - who knows? We know glitches occurred. They had to redo the whole comp. period.

Erica should get HOH because Big Brother makes the rules of the game and Big Brother is God. (That is the only reason I could think of.)

I agree, the only thing they could do was repeat the contest, to be fair to everyone, and Erika didn't win the first game anyway, if everyone's buttons were faulty. They did right to start over, but I hope CBS gives BB a rollicking for the mess they made of the whole thing.

If Janelle had won the 1st comp and the robeŽ had won the 2nd, I'd feel the same way.

Of course Janelle fans are happy........makes me SICK! Don't get me wrong.....I'm not an Erika fan either.....I just agree with Redstar.....I think it should be a "co-HOH"......

The person in charge of the Game 1 buzzers is probably looking for work in the fast food or cleaning industries this morning.

wouldnt have made much of a difference Lanee. In her few minutes as HOH she was ready for Danielle to tell her what to do. If she shared it with Janelle, she would wait for Janelle to tell her what to do.

wow, i remember last year the nerd herd said everything was not fair....they threw a hissy fit because janie won americas choice ( we were told off by the nerd herd for voting for her) but last year the girl scouts had sleep overs in the hoh room all the time but poor janie finally wins it and it double eviction and she gets only 3 days....i never once heard her say it wasnt fair. these people ought to grow up and realize it is a game and no one said they had to go in the house..every year they say bb sways to certain people but they chose to go back in. babies should stay home with mommy instead of playing a big peoples game

I am not going to complain to CBS. I think they handled it as fairly as they could given the malfunction.

I think CBS handled it correctly. Erika can't consider herself the first "HOH" because had the buttons been working correctly, the outcome may not have had her winning. CBS owes nothing to her.

I agree, Bastable, and I'm not going to complain either. I'm happy BB decided on another competition instead of just letting it go. They finally did something right, that was fair to everyone. Having Erica and Janelle as Co-HOHs would NOT be fair.

Besides- being Co-HOH with Erika would be bad since Erika could refuse to agree with her on noms, they go up against each other and Janelle goes.

I am thinking they did the right thing. They had to replay the entire game. Unfortunate but the right thing to do. That being said I am canceling my feeds and backing off on my level of enthusiasm for this show. Simply said, I am getting bored with "The Janie Show". Whether it is because the show is rigged (as some believe) or if it just because she is the best competitor (as I suspect)in competitions, I am tired of it always revolving around her.

I would feel the same way regardless of who won the first comp and who won the second comp - legally, CBS had to completely redo the comp since they used a different system and since the buttons were faulty - even James said he had to push the button twice, Howie had to push the button twice. No co-HOH and whoever won the second comp, which didn't have technical problems, should be the HOH. JMHO.
