Dani never actually stepped on the wrong number. She was stretching out her leg to step when she changed her mind and stepped on the right one. She was already moving to the correct one when Julie started to do the answer, and she certainly never said enought to let Dani know what the answer was. Why should she be penalized? She could just have easily been moving from the correct answer to a wrong one.

Funny, I could have sworn I replied to Jaysgal re Amy, about how she should have talked with the others about what happened when she was gone. Then someone else said that they were given videotapes to watch of events. Did a whole portion of this thread disappear?

I agree with Allie re Dani. It's like holding your finger on your chesspiece while making sure it's what you want to do. Julie came on and said "the correct answer is...." just as Danielle moved. The answer was not revealed until Danielle was standing on the right number. I don't like Danielle but I admit she didn't do anything wrong. I just wish Julie had read faster! LOL

Yep Allietex, she wasn't fully on that answer, her one foot was still in the middle.

I am going to watch the tape again to see if this is indeed how it happened..

Jaysgal, I asked the same question in another thread. I think that it was totally unfair to ask about something that occured while Amy was out of the house.

It was my understanding that the hg's did not have tapes to watch of the shows. Anyone know differntly?

ok, now that I have seen the tape and watched that part of the segment 3 times..i do realize that her one foot was firmly pressed down on the number and her other foot was still in the middle...but she should not have been allowed nor is it fair in any game to be able to change your answer when Julie is in mid sentence...she should have been told to kindly put her feet on the number she chose first. Its only fair, but like I said earlier, this game was designed for Danielle.<mod>.JMHO

I think I am one of the biggest Danielle dislikers here, and even I don't think she did anything wrong. She never had her foot completely on the number. Julie should have said, houseguests, please choose a number now. She shouldn't have started speaking when Danielle hadn't decided yet.

of course he cares...its his livelyhood and its for tv. Watch the tape you will see her foot is firmly planted down...

Okay, so Danielle chose the wrong answer initially and Amy was at a disadvantage by being gone while some of the POV were used.

I think they should redo the HOH.

As much as I don't like Danielle, I don't think it's fair to AS or to her to allege that the game was rigged so that she makes it to the end.

Please move back to the topic of this thread which is a discussion on whether the competition lame or not. Thank you.

I don't think the competition was any more or less lame than any of the other games. My only confusion was why they had so many questions after Lisa and Amy got their's wrong.

I thought in the other games if you gave a wrong answer, you were out and that was it, so I thought Dani had won right away, but she didn't. She had to go through all the questions.

That would be the only thing I thought was lame about it.

There was no wow factor.
It was ho-hum, boring... more of the same.
The comps should get better and better-- harder and harder--- longer and longer.

But what do I know, I just have to watch the stuff.

I think it was so great last year when Will used to come up with great stuff he would do if he was producing the show, and BB would want him to stop "trying to produce the show" and he just kept showing them up. They couldn't stop him. Everything he thought would happen was far better than what actually happened. It really showed how bad some of the producers were at coming up with good ideas.
They really should have hired him to produce or co-host or something. He would have added to the show. But I guess he didn't want to work for summer school intern rates.

Because they wanted to avoid the situation last week, were playing the game with instant elimination for a wrong answer meant the game ended right away and they were left with a bunch of time to fill (and thus Julie got to ask Amy AGAIN if she regretted not using the power of veto on Roddy).

Playing it this way (best of six) meant the producers had a much better way to gauge how long the game would go, to fill the time slot. I liked it better this way too.

I think they were trying to avoid what happened last week when the competition was reduced to 2 questions because people missed them so quickly. Julie told them there would be 6 questions at a time. After the first six questions whoever had the highest number correct would win. I assume if there had been a tie they would have had another round of six questions. They did it a little diffently this time. IMO the old format of if you miss a question your out was fine when there were more people, but when you get down to only 3 it would go to fast and there is no suspense. This did provide a little more suspense. Don't think it will be made into a movie of the week, but it was better than the old format.

Okay, thanks for the responses. That makes sense, but I wanted Danielle to win so badly, I was yelling at the TV..THAT'S NOT HOW YOU DID IT BEFORE!

I was just scared Danielle wouldn't win. She's never been HOH. It was her turn.
