http://bigbrother.ten.com.au/news.asp?news_id=341 Voting error - Bree to re-enter house tonight Bree will get a second chance to do the eviction walk after being last night incorrectly evicted. Human error in the voting tally last night saw Bree incorrectly evicted. Tonight she will re-enter the house and on Thursday the housemate who should have been evicted last night, will be leaving the house. Below is the full press release on the issue from Network Ten and Endemol Southern Star. "Human error by Legion Interactive - administrators of the voting on Big Brother - resulted in Bree being incorrectly evicted from the Big Brother house last night. Legion advised the error upon completion of its regular post eviction audit of voting. They have accepted full responsibility, and have undertaken to ensure something like this cannot occur again. Endemol Southern Star, the producers of Big Brother, and Network Ten are very disappointed that this has happened and wish to reassure viewers that all possible steps to rectify the error are being taken. Kris Noble, executive producer, Big Brother, said: "The most important thing is human error cannot be allowed to deprive Bree her chance to win the $1m prize." Bree has elected to return to the house and will do so this evening in a live program at 7.30pm (AEST). David Mott, general manager - network programming, Network Ten, added: "We are as disappointed as everyone that this has happened but believe everything that could be done to set the situation right has and is being done." To ensure no unfair advantage, Bree has been under "lock-down" since 11pm last night and will be under the same strict rules not to discuss anything she has heard or seen in the few hours she was outside the Big Brother house that have applied to intruders Monica and Violeta. On Thursday in a special one-hour show at 7.30pm the housemate who actually received the most number of votes will be evicted in a live program. That person's identity will be ascertained as a full and independent audit of the voting tally is completed over the next few days. Voting for this week's eviction won't commence until after Thursday night's show. The two housemates with the most votes will depart in the previously announced double eviction show on Sunday 11 July."

WhooooHoooo!!!! Now THAT is some GOOD news!!!! Bree is one of my all-time favorite BB players. I'm just glad that it was her and not Fryzie or Paul that this happened to as all we'd ever hear from not until eternity is that the whole thing was "rigged." Now ............ I wonder who really WAS evicted ..... oh the drama!

Of course, I just realized, the down side of all of this is that she is certain to go out next Sunday as all those who voted for her this time will vote twice just to make SURE she goes.

It's a scheduled double eviction next Sunday, so all 7 HM likely will be up again. Who those seven are though won't be final until Thursday night, so public voting can't start before then. And any nominations made today wouldn't make sense. Assuming Wes goes Thursday as many expect, Catherine and intruder Monica (would be her first time to face the public vote) would be pretty good bets to go ahead of Bree this time if everyone is on the block.

I was happy that Bree was evicted. In fact I thought that maybe this BB was not rigged because of it. However, now that this has happened--I have my doubts--it was clear from the official website and publicity that Wesley was to be the next to go--and go he will on Thursday. Looks like Monica is a given to go on the Sunday eviction (along with another house-mate)

someone is going to get fired over this--from what I read, the voting was really close (less than 1% difference), and the company running the votes forgot to count some of the votes. They're now doing an independent audit of the votes, but the story may not be done--Wesley's family is rumored to be considering a lawsuit if he is evicted on Thursday because of the foulup.

I have been thinking that Wesley would go on Thursday and Bree and Monica would go on Sunday. That makes my little world happy!!!

Just realized the ramifications of the HMs finding out about the $1 million secret at the time they did. Can you imagine if they didn't know about it, then Bree came out of the house and found out and then went BACK in with that knowledge. I'm sure BB would have had to tell them all about it at that point but wow ........ can you imagine it!

I wouldn't expect Bree to be voted out on Sunday. She is now leading today's OS popularity poll with 24%--ahead of both Trevor and Paul'2 20%. That's more than double Bree's previous high popularity mark. If Wesley goes Thursday as most expect, Monica and Catherine have a good chance to be Sunday's double evictees. Even those who don't like Bree are likely not to vote to evict her this week out of sympathy. Bree came across well in her eviction stage and re-entry interviews and has handled the situation about as well as could have been expected.

Wesley was evicted in the recount eviction. All 7 remaining HMs are automatically nominated for the double eviction Sunday.

I have been thinking than Bree and Monica will go. Because if they had evicted Wesley correctly she was high in the votes and since it is a double, for sure Monica will go. I hope it is Bree and Monica, I like Cat much better!!

Yeah, but I think R1's right. Bree's popularity has skyrocketed since she came back in and even though it's come down a little from where it was on Monday or Tuesday, it's still higher than I ever remember it being before. There is a pretty consistant correlation between who's evicted and the popularity rating on the official site. Bree and Wes were running neck and neck all last week. I think it will be Cat and Monica.

Well Monica is the first out. I hope that Bree goes next because it doesn't seem fair that her coming back in would push Cat out before her, but that is life.

With the vote percentage swing in the recount (the percentages were 23.3--18.4--17.4--15.4--14.2--7.4--3.9), Bree might have actually been third behind Wes and Cat last week.

I'm afraid Ryan's supporters (the MLS group "Massive Loser Squad") fixed the second eviction vote. And they did it with the help of Dreamworld and Southern Star Endemol. MLS t-shirts have been promoted and are being sold at Dreamworld, with proceeds from the sale being used to keep Ryan in the house. Clearly unfair!

I'm here in the US also, but there are several topics on the other BB Australia boards stating that the shirts are being sold at Dreamworld and on eBay. I checked eBay and there is at least one auction underway for later this week that was started after the Sunday night eviction time.
