I think CBS should had said there was a chance who we voted in may not go in the house. My DH is royally p/o. But if they said something upfront no one would had voted I guess.

Kitty...actually, the wording for the vote did say "chance"

I expect many people thought chance meant there was a chance our particular favorite would go into the house not that it was possible none of the people we voted for would return.

Was there text voting that cost money? After i saw that Americas Choice didnt go back in the house I thought to myself i would be PO'd if i voted and it cost money but then no one went back in. PS: I didnt vote

No, Nic. No cost for voting. Strictly computer votes.

Beek, didnt they have issues last season with the AP not doing what we voted for and we paid for the votes?

Dunno, Kitty. I think all that happened if AP didn't do what we voted for is that he didn't get that task counted toward his accumulation for money.

They knew it was going to be a "HG decides who goes back in" vote anyway- so they didn't do text mesaging this time because if they had and it had turned out the same way, people would have complained about being charged for something that ended up being useless. AP was different, as we gave him the assignments which he had to try to do, so it it was part of the game. I knew something was up because of the word "chance" in the AC question- there were a lot of ways it could have gone, and this was one of them.

Nope don't think it was a waste. I kind of liked it. The houseguests had to choose - do you vote in the devil you know, or vote in what you don't know an hope it was somebody you wanted. FWIW I voted for Alex.

Well, I voted for Allison knowing that she wouldn't be brought back in, so I guess I didn't mind wasting my time.

It was misleading. If I'd known they were going to do that I never would of wasted my time voting for Alex.

It was very misleading to have millions of people think that their votes mattered when in actuality they did not; Big Brother is just like American Idol when it comes to voting. They suggest that you vote and vote often, however, the producer have the final say as to whom to eliminate or bring back. What a crock of bull!!

I thought the house should have to put up with whoever "we" voted back in. I don't like the way it worked out.

Gee, I thought it was fine. The vote might have gone against the ousted HG and then "our" choice would re-enter. In no way do I feel ripped off or that it was "salty" (sorry, watched an MTV show that had that expression 3 times in an hour). Go ahead, roll your eyes just like my kids. ;}

Yes, a complete waste of time! If the HGs had been given the name of America's Choice and the ability to choose between that person or James, I would be okay with it. As it was, America's Choice didn't matter in the least. JMO

Exactly, Watcher! Had they been given the choice between James and Alex (as per AC) then I would feel differently. As it stood, it was stacked against any mystery evictee

They did use the word chance, but I thought that meant all 6 had a chance, but only 1 would make it. But, of course I didn't listen very closely, I was too excited, after Alli leaving, Ryan getting HOH and all. But, yes, it was a waste. They went from America's Choice, to America's Player, to America gets nothing!
