Ok, now that we've seen the competition (or seen what BB wants us to see of it anyway) what is everyone's opinion on whether or not the comp was "rigged"?

I think in order for Jun to have been cheated, she would have had to FIRST have her answer as "Jee and Alison" and then when the light didn't go off, change it to "Jun and Alison." Otherwise, she simply got the answer wrong and it doesn't matter whether or not the light malfunctioned or not.

And in order for the first scenario to work, BB would have had to manipulate last night's footage to cover up that fact and then have Jun lie in the DR about her answer. Seems a bit far fetched to me.

So can I put down my protest placard now? My arms getting t'ard. :)

i think what happened was her stair DID light up and then she was told she had the wrong answer. the editing just didn't show that part.

I really don't think that the "elephant" question favored Justin that much and was that unfair to the other houseguests. Remember that they did a whole funny segment on Ali's favourite stuffed elephant and how the other houseguests kept teasing her about it by putting it into precarious situations (actually one of the few funny segments this year). So they all could easily infer that she likes elephants. It wasn't a secret.

I agree with you, Kalekona. Those letters were almost impossible to read on the clear plates. My guess is the techincal people saw the "J" in Jun, thought it was Jee, and didn't realize it was the wrong answer until the stair light was turned on.

I have to agree with Clio, the competition looked fine to me.

What's funny is, it was Jun's nomination as HOH and she DID get it wrong by putting her name up instead of Jee. I don't think she put up Jee's name because she thought it was her name. I think she confused this weeks nominations with last weeks nominations. (Her own!)

In the DR Jun admitted of making a stupid mistake, so I don't think she wanted to give the HOH to Ali knowing of their alliance...

All this confusion could be avoided next year.

Just issue all of them 1, and only one, veto necklace when they enter the house...to use when they wish and then it is gone.

Would be fair to all.

the veto error still angers me.. If Jun's light went on, and Jun and Erika stopped or slowed cuz they thought it was over, while ali kept going(which from what i had heard, was that erika was the fastest most of the way thru, but they avoided showing where she was at all on the show...), then i don't know how they could definitively extrapolated that jun would not have beat Ali, I think if a tech error causes any doubt then it should just be redone..period.

Donut,

That is exactly what Robert said on live feeds. the others seemed to agree.

But it seems to me that would be rewarding Jun for giving the wrong answer. Text description
