I, for one, will feel cheated if this comes down to an America's Choice tie-breaker. I want the people who actually lived this experience to decide who played the game the best.

These people are a jury. They should be forced to vote, revote, deliberate if necessary, and vote again, until they decide on a winner. I know that this would make a live final vote impossible, but if they made them vote right after their questioning on Monday, surely they could come to a consensus by Wednesday night if they were locked in a room and not allowed to take a break until they got it done.

Could make for some pretty good television, too, to get to see footage of them arguing and trying to sway others' votes.

I wonder how the evicted houseguests feel about this? If I were them, I would resent this vital decision being made by "outsiders."

Hey, they're not voting for a pope here, just giving their biased opinion who they'd like to see get the money. I feel I've seen more than some of them and if my 1/4,000,000th of the vote counts for something then it's worth my 99-cents.

You want great footage, I say let us pay-per-view a private cast party with just the original 12. Let them each get their points across and then leave it all behind and go back to their lives. I know I'm going back to mine! (Until BB4, that is!)

As I stated in another thread I don't think the public has the right to decide who should win the game.

BB should have some sort of competition in the event of a tie and the winner should be decided from that.

IMHO

I think that an America Vote is alright ACCEPT as I have stated before...if people are voting from the TV broadcast and if there are people voting from the TV broadcast AND the live feeds, chat boards...those are two differant things...
If you vote from only the TV broadcast then your views are or could be very differant than the people that do all the other things....

To make sure that people don't vote more than once in the final vote and that CBS hasn't controled the vote due to it's TV editing I think they should only let people that have live feeds vote...they could secure the vote to only one vote per account meaning people that don't have a PAID for account (say 2 months prior to and continuing through the end) wouldn't be able to vote...That would be a fair America Vote (yes, my Canadian friends you have a paid account you could vote).

This is Big Brother...let them make it a true Big Brother Watching choice...

If not America, then who?
They should also have free internet voting for people who paid for live feeds.
