I think it was BS personally to be honest. I felt very cheated on this one for some reason. They named the SIX that could be going back and of course they did use could, but c'mon how many of us really thought they would do something like this. I think last week's noms were a waste, the eviction was a bust, and then our vote was just throwing a crumb only to tell us the crumb was just trash. I also thought by chance they meant ONE of the 6 had a chance. Just another example of AG's BS moves in her so-called leadership of this sinking ship she calls BB. It's so sad that we are trying to stay true to a TV/reality show we all really loved that had all elements of strategy and something for America in terms of a little voyeurism, and now it's just turned to watching some trashy show that is like watching Maury, Jerry Springer, and some late night Skinamax (Cinemax) show. Just really really beginning to turn me off all the way around. It's sad to because in many ways Survivor has maintained some level of what the premise of the show was, Amazing Race is a continuous source of entertainment but our beloved BB is turning into something I see heading straight for cancellation land. It's almost like watching Paradise Hotel on Reality TV because it seems like all AG wants is some sort of sex twist. This is not even showmance stuff anymore. I thought Boogie's use of Erika was bad a couple seasons ago, then we had the Dick/Jen thing last year, and now we have not even wannabe actors, but wannabe porn stars, retired Penthouse models, and lord knows what else.

I do. I partly blame the contestants for it, nad I partly blame CBS for even giving them that option of voting the current evictee back in.

Wonder how much AG had CBS spend on all those varies sequester houses and the PA that had to stay with the HG, not to mention their expenses etc for thie flop of a twist? And ITA it seemed not only like a waste of time but an insult to the fans. Why have us bother to shoot it down? Was this how it was set up all along? I'm not sure and I'm so bored I don't care that much to figure it out. But why can't they ever do a twist that turns out fun, creative and exciting, vs how they always seem to fizzle. This one fizzled before it happened.

I think it was total waste of time. CBS must be totally desperate to pull a stunt like this. I am POed they had millions of voters take time to vote for something that was only a cheap advertisement ploy. I think BB should be renamed BS. JMO.

It didn't bother me in the least. I voted for Parker to go back in there, but it is not like it took that much time out of my life. And it wasn't a huge emotional investment. It's Big Brother.... to both the houseguests and the audience. I love moments when they remind us of that....and wish they would show that hand more often than they do. And it is a tv show....reality tv is not reality and to me that is one of the things that makes it interesting. Plus I think that James going back in there made for the better show, so I understand why they would want that. I barely remember Alex. And if they would have given us a vote to put back in the soon-to-be evictee or another houseguest, I think a lot of us would have voted for the soon-to-be evictee.

I, for one am pleased Alex didnt go back into the house, there is no way I could watch Sheila fawning all over him. Bad enough her thinking the sunshines out of Matt !!

I still cant help feeling that if James wasnt the one evicted they wouldnt have given the HG a choice. That's why I think James is Dick for AG this year. AG loves her Dicks/bad boys.

Dick had an on going story(astranged daughter) Allison manipulated America last year with the edits. James got lucky IMO. I think if Matt had been Back doored he would have been back too. Julie did not explain WELL ENOUGH to the HG's that the mystery HG had been in sequester and that America wanted to give someone a 2nd chance. Parker,Jacob and Alex were the obvious guesses. They are all ADD.

I'm not particularly upset by the whole exercise. However, I do think it was a ridiculous waste of time, cost and effort on the producer's part and a total bust as a twist.

Eureka!!!!!!!!! I've figured it out. Grodner is secretly employed by a BB rival and is trying to destroy BB.

I loved the twist. I thought it was great. I did not feel cheated at all. So often we get to the actual show and don't see that many surprises. That was one I wasn't expecting -- and that is the whole idea, right? Expect the unexpected?
