I was telling my mom about the HOH comp being redone and how upset some of the HGs were.

She replied Why didnt the Producers just make this a double HOH week like Week 1?

Brilliant. This would have been the fairest solution.

Erika and Janelle would have to agree on noms or both would go up. Considering the uncertainty involving Will and Boog I dont think Erika would disagree and risk being on the block.

This would have been a great Week! the house would have been turned on its ear...instead of smacked on its backside LOL

That is the most sense I have heard since this show started, but because that makes so much sense there is no way BB would have done it.....LOL

But... Erika didn't really win. Something was very wrong with the buzzer game, that's why they took the unprecendeted move of redoing the HOH comp.

So who would Janelle share HOH with? Howie?

Would another VALID competition be done?

I agree with Pippin....

Had Howie's button worked correctly, Erika would have been eliminated then. She didn't win fairly, so why should she get co-HOH?

because it was officially announced LIVE. Other comps have had tech issues in the past and they stood 'as is'.

A win is a win.

However I dotn have the episode on tape. I would love to frame by frame it and see who is hitting first. Would hve been interesting.

you have been here just as long as I. I am sure you recall quite a few comps.

light wouldnt go on during Alison comp.

Do you not recall the button sticking HOH comp? Jase let go of his button twice and the light never went on BB5.

Its happened before.

Who's to say that Jase's button didnt work properly and that is why he ended up in final two? Fact is, tech issues have happened before and the comp stands.

Well, I, for one think that this is a good precedent for BB to set. Why should someone lose as a result of faulty equipment? It could alter the entire course of the game.

Frankly, if BB cannot apply good technology, they need to get the HGs to use paddles or whatever else in order to maintain things fair for everyone.

A double HOH would not have been a fair solution IMHO because the contest was flawed--potentially--since the beginning of the competition.

Double HOH would have been a great! I wonder why BB didn't think of it.

Sunshyne...I have it on video...and playing it back REALLY slow...Howie buzzed in WAAAY before the last three....

And when Janelle was eliminated for a wrong answer....Boogie had the SAME problem as Howie...NO ANSWER showed up...and Julie didn't notice and left Boogie in (when he should have been eliminated like Howie was for having the LAST answer)...and when I rewound to the very BEGINNING of the competition...several of the HG's were hitting their buttons MULTIPLE times, because the equipment wasn't working right...THAT is why they redid the whole competiton. EVERYONE got to re-play...even those OTHERS who answered WRONG...but Erika and Danielle are only griping about Janie because Janie WON.

I am sure that BB thought of the double HOH scenario. But I am also certain that the CBS attorneys had to squash the idea. Erica only "won" because of a technical malfunction. So if she were allowed to remain as HOH either alone or in tandem with Janelle, the HGs could have hit CBS with huge lawsuits. This is a game and they are under very strict game rules.

Any HG could argue that they were ousted because of the presence of Erica as HOH. or they could argue that the fact that she got privildges as HOH she unfairly benefited. The litigation alone would probably be the end of BB

No No NO
No double HOH needed.
Erika did not win anything.
NO ONE won that comp. which happened to be Live.
So what it was live?
The re-do was live for all the life feed watchers.
That was live non-the-less!
No winner could have been produced from a incomplete game.

Wonder if BB producers will change the live HOH format now or maybe elimate the buzzers.

I know HOH. I actually thought that the show was taped earlier during the day all of the time. I guess that explains why Julie's mistakes are always included.

Makes you wonder how well the buzzers were working when they played the POV competition the week before. If they really wanted to make the game interesting they should of shown who had chosen what to all the HGs. Notice we didn't get to see the point totals as well. If CBS doesn't want people to think things are fixed, then they need to quit doing so many things that make us go hmmm!

A win is a win.


Except when it's not.

With the buzzers malfunctioning like they did, who's to say that Erika's didn't at some display her as giving the right answer when she had in fact gotten it wrong.

The whole thing was screwy.

OH and the other HOH that should have technically been changed was the pressurecooker comp.

Jennifer completely fell asleep with her eyes shut for longer than the allowed time.....at least twice. many of us were online ranting about it at the time.

Yes, thru the years there has been judgements made or tech probs that affected whom became HOH.

Mrstaz I made that same comment in a different thread. it is likely that the same exact pushbutton buzzers were used during that comp as well. I find it highly suspicious that BB didnt show scores or WHOM got which prize. Why hide it from the TV audience?

strange

Earlier today I heard dani CG and Erika discussing why a double HOH wasnt done.

Sorry, didn't realize you said the same, somewhere else, there just seems to be so many things happening "by coincidence."

If they'd done a double HOH then Erika would have just refused to agree with Janelle. Janelle and Erika would be nominated and Janelle, unable to play veto, would have been evicted in short order.

So, I don't think that would have been a fair solution.

Basically, BB completely messed up. Their solution was just as bad as their original error.

I'd bet the next HOH is the stairs where they take a step down or up!! LOL

I think the fact the buzzers were not working is proof CBS fixes the game. They just got caught this time.

Ok Sunshyne and Caycaye...I rewatched the comp...and yes-Howie would have beat Erica..he was faster on the button-BUT-I think this is where Will decided to throw the comp..he buzzed in way after everyone else did..and then Julie said- Howie we need an answer. So really Will would have been out instead of Erica..and because of Howie's buzzer not working properly as well as Boogie's either, it was fair that they redid the comp! There is absolutely no doubt about it..because for all we know, Howie could have won..who knows.
I also thought of the two head of house but would have to agree with some on this thread..in all fairness Erica did not win this comp.

If they would have had Janelle and Erika as co HOH's Erika would have quit biatching because she was safe but Danielle would have been going on and on and on.

"but Danielle would have been going on and on and on."

I might have missed something but I saw on the LF Danielle defending BB postion. She said they had to redo the comp.
