One thing is for certain. No matter whether they used the original HOH comp or did it over - Will would still have thrown it.

Maris-- great points. Maybe Erika was trying to throw it and the RIGHT things lit up. She was begging for a DOR supposedly 2-3 nights ago, maybe she went into the DR and told them she wouldn't take HoH. you never know.. ;)

The only way it could have been fixed, is if some BB staffer intentionally caused the malfunction after Janie was out on the wrong answer. Which means they would have wanted it to be obvious there was a malfunction and have HGs complain about it. Kind of far-fetched. But, I'm sure Erika's and Marci's lawyers will try to find out (LOL). Marci said they lost $500k because of it, and they want to sue, get publicists and press involved. Erika (early am) was ready to walk out. She said anybody but Janie should have won. She screamed and cried. I was getting flashbacks of BB6, 'if you know what I mean'. That the fact Janie got a wrong answer and did not lose to a technical difficulty should have prevented her from being a part of the re-do.

Like Marcellas ever had a shot at the $500k, so add delusional to his character traits.

CBS Plan B that they rejected as impossible. Keep re-doing the HOH until Will wins.

It's a good thing I'm not working on BB because I'd fix it so nobody, ever, that acted like some of these players got n the show. What kind of people are these? I've never met people this bad. Maybe I have but I sure avoided them. These are people you wouuldn't leave your kids alone with. No, I'm not talking about Janie.

After watching the TV show last night on my TiVo I felt very, very bad for Howie because it was so clear he shouldn't have been called out when he was. Now that I read that HOH has been redone and Janie has won - I feel really, really bad for Erika. Erika showed her hand, she stepped up, out of the shadows of being a floater. Showing all of her enemies that she's willing to boot them. Two hours later - Erika's game is blown. Janie is targeting her. I guess I'm going to have to go with the argument that some of the float herd is making - Janie shouldn't have been allowed to compete in the re-do because she was out on a question - not due to the malfunctioning buzzers. BB blows these competitions every year. It really is a shame and very, very unfair to ALL of the competitors. (And I really, really detest Erika this year. But, that is no reason for BB to screw her over.)

I agree that this hurt Erika's chances. She stepped up, won HOH (or at least they said she did), revealed game strategy and now will likely be one of the nominees. All in all not great.

Bugeye they will have no ground to stand on that it was fixed after Janelle went out with the wrong answer. On that very question Boogie's answer never lit up but Julie never called him on it and asked for an answer. So obviously the buzzers already weren't working properly. I'm sure the lawyers looked at it from all angles before they decided to redo the whole thing.

I don't think the lawyers looked at it at all. The decision to "re-do" was made very, very quick. I think the producers just looked at the re-play and realized how completely obvious it was that Howie's outster was incorrect - so, they just re-did from scratch. I think if they had time to think about it and have lawyers analyze it, they very well might have limited who was playing in the re-do. But, to re-do again? They are just asking for trouble. They really need make their equipment work the first time. There was already an HOH earlier this season where Janie said she couldn't hear anything including the questions. She was out unfairly that time. BB messes up like this all the time - it's only that it was sooooo obvious this time that they choose the re-do option.

IMO the producers were already aware of the problem during the last few minutes of the live show... There was a lapse in time when the camera was thrown back to JC and she looked like someone was talking to her in her earpiece.

I TOTALLY agree Gina.... It's just like in BASEBALL...sometimes the calls are bad (Not obvious but on replay)...and you just have to GET OVER IT and realize that it all works out evenly in the end...some bad calls will go in YOUR favor next time.... I heard Janelle when she HONESTLY said she couldn't hear at ALL in one HoH that she lost....so There You Go!!!...it evened out! And anyway....if the buzzers would have worked correctly for Howie...I NOTICED on my replay...that Erika would have been OUT on that one...So Howie would have won anyway... Howie / Janie.....what's the difference for HoH right now....Get OVER IT Erika and quit WHINING before you are voted BIGGEST WHINER!!! LOL!

I was hoping Erika would get a consolation. There hasn't been any talk of that anywhere....not that I've read. Even immunity from eviction would be better than the mindscrew she experienced last night...They should have been more on their feet and not allowed Julie to announce her the winner. They should have been like "Hold on!" I'm no big fan of Erika, but I'd be saying the same thing had it happened to anybody else.

Nick - Stopping the comp. on live TV would be a trainwreck, especially with Julie as the host, She does not have the skills required to handle it.

Gina and Jimmer, it's true that Erika finally stepped up. But it won't matter if the wrong result of a HOH comp. ever happened or not, Erika and Dani was gonna be nomed. (unless Janie changed her mind again the pass few hours). She has shown her hand last week when she gave the HOH to Dani! The fact that her whole demeanor was so different last week would have been clue for Janie and Howie to target her next. They need to get rid of Dani, if not Erika is good enough for them. This is all because they don't know about the coup though.

Oh I agree that it won't matter probably in that it likely didn't affect Janelle's nominations. I re-watched it again, and I don't believe that Erika would have been eliminated had Howie's button worked properly. From what I could tell, James would have been eliminated in that round.
