It is a lose/lose, win/win for me. I like James, can't stand Chel, Nattie is okay, but can't stand Matt. Even though in the game they aren't partners they are still playing that way. I'd much prefer that James and Nat join to get rid of Chel and Matt.

Well I agree - Natalie needs to be Natalie not Matalie. I like her minus Matt.

Maybe if the POB read one single response to what they did this week they will realize that what they did to the people that watch this show and actually took the time to vote they will realize that they are pushing us away. Don't tell us that you are giving us a chance to "be a part of the show" and then take it right away from us. James should not have been in the outcome at all. Maybe they should have told them that they had a choice between Parker and Alex and let them decide who they wanted from there...but James should not have been part of the scheme of things last night. They blew it big time in MHO....What a waste of time it was voting.

The voting we were able to do was for giving an evicted HG the CHANCE to come back into the house. Period.

I for one am glad James is back. He had just as much of a chance to come back in as the other evicted houseguests. I really thought they would take a chance and go with the unknown. I was shocked when most said James.

I think the twist was great! lol It's all about messing with the HG after all, isn't it? I don't feel cheated at all, or not upset about voting.

I don't feel cheated in any way. If they had picked the mystery box instead of James some would be okay with it. Personally I feel I had a chance and the hgs had a chance, totally fair.

It would have been totally unfair to James if he was not given a chance to be voted back in, every single evicted hg has had that chance, why not James.

I'm very glad I only wasted time to vote once. I'm not happy about last night and BB making us feel like we'd get a say-so in the game. Boo on BB.

Hate that James is back because it was a waste of an HOH for Ryan and a waste of votes for those of us who actually voted to get someone back in the house. Along with the names they should have also let us vote on if we'd rather have the evicted houseguest return that night instead of one of the prior houseguest. I'm done with voting for things on BB.

Maybe BB should have listed all the former HG's and said America could choose from among them OR the mystery HG( for us) that would be evicted this week.

After the way America misused America Player last year, the House Guests deserved a chance to turn down America's Choice.

Fine with giving the houseguests the final vote but they should have been told it was Alex so they could make an informed decision. I feel like the viewers, Alex and the hgs all got screwed and James made out big time. Disgusted as usual the way TPTB work us.

I would still feel the same because once again we were made to feel like we'd play a role and although 'technically' it did say for a 'chance' to reenter the game it was misleading. Sometimes I wonder if we are the real hamsters because we get played more than those in the house (and we don't get a stipend for it)

I agree with Landslide305. If the HGs had been told they had a choice between Alex, who had been chosen by America, or James to return to the house, the out come would have been much less questionable. The way it was done appeared to greatly increase James' chances of winning the vote. Fair is fair. My opinion of the person chosen to return isn't a factor.

Roxip You hit the nail on the head. I like James, therefore I am estatic that he is still there. I was doing a happy dance when the vote ended 5-3. Santa came early for me last night.

"...it was more fun to make them sweat out who was the ?." I disagree. All it did was make it less likely for the mystery house guest to be voted back in.

I LOVED the show last night!!!! I love being surprised and I love the anticipation of the hgs being surprised! I hope there's more to come! I don't feel ripped off at all. America did get to play a part and the hgs got to play a part. It was very predictable and understandable how Josh, Ryan, Sharon, Chelsia and Matt voted between James and the Mystery person in the box last night. So funny the look of terror on Josh's face when he realized that Ali could be coming back in! Sharon too, a little. (about Jacob) Last night was probably my favorite BB show ever in all the seasons! Thank you BB! ( and I totally understand those who don't feel the same as I do and sympathize with you, being frustrated and disappointed isn't the greatest feeling) I am also very happy that James is HOH. Not because I like him, I really don't, but because it adds drama and his noms aren't predictable for me because now that he knows not everyone voted him back in and that everyone but Chelsia voted him out, it makes it even more unpredictable. I also think he is playing this game in a way that appeals to me more than someone like Nat or Ryan who don't seem to be playing with strategy. (Although Ryan did step it up during his HOH, imo.) I'm glad BB left it a mystery between the 6 evicted before James. But I wish they'd have told the hgs after James was back in that Alex would have been the one returning and that Parker came in second. I'd like to hear the hgs discuss that one. I bet James would have been able to tell by Matt's reaction to that news that Matt voted for the box and not James.

I'm having to catch up because I was at the American Idol show last night in Hollywood, but I am very unhappy about how things played out. I'm just watching BB now, but read updates last night when I got home. I wanted James gone, but more upset about how they did America's choice. I don't think it would have been unfair for James not to be able to come back ... He just went out at the wrong time of the game. No different then when you leave determines who is on the jury and who isn't. I feel like the voting was a waste of time, and would have never voted if I knew they were going to handle it the way they did.

I can understand the frustration that seems to be oozing from some of the posters today. I felt the same way last year with "Americas Player". I hated it to the point that I swore I would not watch BB anymore after last year. But here I sit/watch day after day. I subscribed to Showtime. I do not get the live feeds as I would of been stuck to my puter 24/7. Whenever I want to know what is going on I just come here. I appreciate all the live feed posters keeping us up to date on the happenings. We all need to remember that BB is going to do what they want. I think they could care less what the fans want. It's all about ratings and they will twist and turn it as they see fit, to get the best ratings.

Yeah I think what we all have to keep in mind is that BB is a show first and a game second. They will do what they want to get the most stir in the house, sometimes I am ticked by the outcome sometimes I am happy, but I love the twists and say keep them coming.
