1. "RE: Janelle HOH - and SeeBS totally pushing S6 on us" |
I would have to replay the whole thing in slow motion to see just who was having problems and when -- we may have missed some people slapping their buttons twice -- but if I'm remembering the competition correctly, Mike had his malfunction on the round Janelle went out. Neither of his answer lights ever went on, and unlike Howie's situation, the Chenbot never noticed. Mike did try to answer, I'm sure of that -- but Julie, who can't be bothered to get the name of the evictee right, also can't be bothered with checking every station. So Howie wasn't the first one with a major problem: just the first one where it finally registered.If we could prove that Mike was the first person victimized by the faulty system, I'd have no problem with replaying from that point. But since part of the contest was getting answers in quickly, and the booth rigging was probably making that hard for the group from the start, with no way to tell when the problems began -- might as well blow it up and start over. Either way, stoopid Chenbot.

Mike's answer did finally come on, but WAY after he pressed the button.

LAST EDITED ON 08-11-06 AT 10:38 AM (EST)It really is starting to look like the fix is in. Once Erika won HoH Janelle was certain to be nominated -- without the ability to play for veto, her game was likely over Thursday. But because of technical difficulties experienced by other houseguests, she gets a do-over. There is still this prom queen prize out there, which is a popularity contest, which she will likely win (if her popularity here reflects her popularity generally). And somehow this prize assists the winner in the next HoH competition. Then the coup d'etat prize is out there, but it is competed for and won in private. If she claims that as well, I wonder whether there is any point watching anymore. Because the 'game' will have sunk to the level of 'farce'

Of course CBS wants Janelle to stay in the house and they will do whatever to keep her there. I agree that if you were eliminated due to an incorrect answer, you should not have been allowed to play. But of course, that would have put Janelle out and we just can't have that. Yes, she will win the "Queen" and any other thing that helps her get to the end. She proved the last time she was HOH that she sure wasn't going to get there by using her brains.

I can't help but feel like if you had the exact same circumstances and switched Janelle with Erika (Erika eliminated, Janelle wins, and then Erika wins redo), the Janelle bashers would be applauding the producers and celebrating Janelle's impending departure.Here's why you need an entirely new competition, at least from my viewpoint. Clearly, the equipment for the HOH competition as set up was not working. If it's not possible to get this equipment working, a new competition has to be devised. At this point, it's not really fair for those who are already out, because they could very well have done better in the replacement competition than in the original. I'll be interested to see if the new HOH competition still involves the last-to-answer rule, since it was where all the problems stemmed from.

I think the point we're missing (despite the fact that this does still look like favoritism) is that we're not sure now, especially in the cases of Howie and Boogie, whether the equipment malfunctioned in more than one way. In other words-- What if Chicken George had actually buzzed in before Erika in the first round, but his registered late. Not likely, but arguably per their contracts, they can claim unfair treatment vis-a-vis "act of god."

>The Janelle bashers will maintain that >your hypothetical situation (Janelle wins >HoH, Erika wins do-over) is >just that: hypothetical -- >as the producers would never >have a do-over of a >competition Janelle won. Too bad it's impossible to prove that the producers would "never" do something. I agree that it's an unfortunate situation, but the original competition was such a mess between Julie's errors and the equipment that it had to be redone. I don't recall it ever being this bad (people unable to answer, Mike going through without even giving an answer). I think an argument can be made for not allowing Will and Janelle to participate in the new HOH comp, but the fact is that they were both allowed. It's not as though they had a new HOH competition between Janelle and Chicken George; everyone was back in and had the same chance. Also, the producers had no way of knowing Janelle would win the new competition. I mean, it was broadcast over the live feeds, so there was no way they could manipulate the competition into Janie's hands like everyone seems to be insinuating.
Here's a more plausible hypothetical situation: The competition gets redone and Boogie wins. Or even, what if Will wasn't throwing competitions and won the new competition? Are we still posting up a storm that the fix is in since Will and Janelle were allowed to participate? Probably not, even though in principle, the level of outrage should be the same if we're really viewing this as an issue of integrity.

I can see both arguments: that it's a fix and that everyone should get a second chance because a different set of questions with different equipment might make a difference.The only way to truly make CBS sit up and take notice if you're incensed is to stop watching. Isn't it a shame that Erika blew her first chance at HOH by giving it to Danielle? DUMB. Rule #1 - Trust no one. Rule #2 - If you want HOH, don't give it away - ever. Everyone is entitled to my opinion.

I'm a Janie fan, but I can see why people may have the impression that the contest was rigged. If indeed the competition was rigged, this is not Janelle's fault. The producers are the ultimate puppet masters and they will pull the necessary strings to get the ratings that they need. With Kaysar's eviction, the only other popular player in the house is Janelle and CBS will not have her evicted halfway through the season. Unfortunatelly, Janelle's reputation as a player is the one that will take the fall.

30. "Idiots" |
The whole damn thing is absolutely ridiculous.I'm sort of happy that Janelle won simply because that means someone from the Legion of Doom is probably going to go home this week (unless Danielle won the Coup D'Etat, of course). On the other hand, I am pissed off. Erika won that HoH, even if there were issues with a few people's buzzers. There have been instances of mistakes in challenges before, I'm sure, and nobody (and by nobody I mean the Chenbot) has caught them before. I just find it to be a bit "convenient" for them to pull this re-do crap out of their asses the one week that Janelle's eviction was pretty much certain. If you ask me, the whole idea of having a do-over is incredibly elementary and just a method that 8-year olds use when they're playing Four Square in hopes of evading elimination the second time around. Oy vey.

>>In my personal opinion - See BS made a mistake to redo the complete competition.<<I think they had no choice but to redo the whole thing. Because the buzzers (or lights, whatever) were malfunctioning, there's no way of telling how many of the responses were affected. It was fair because every eligible player had exactly the same chance of winning.

Nope.The players eligible to compete in this week's HOH competition were EVERYONE but Danielle. As outgoing HOH, Danielle was the ONLY hamster that was ineligible to compete. There's no way to tell how much equipment failure affected the outcome of game 1. (You can bet they didn't have anything as high-tech as sensors to determine who hit their button how many times.) Therefore, the only fair thing they could do is throw out the entire competition, and hold another with all hamsters ELIGIBLE TO COMPETE FOR HOH. That's everyone but Danielle. Erika could have won the 2nd competition too -- but she failed.

Ultimatelly, its the producers who are winning with this situation. They've managed to create a mountain out of a mole hill. The controversy of this week's HOH should fuel enough hatred between the hamsters and additional interest from the viewers to make up for such a lackluster season.

My thoughts: I feel Erika shouldn't ahve ahd to play the redo....keep her as HOH and whoever won the redo has HOH
Co-Hoh's IF CBS had been thinking, that error would have been a perfect set up for ratings........two females (Of which Jani hates all females) having to decide together who is put on the block.

It won't matter any more when Janelle gets ousted by the coup twist. Erica will drop her plans of a lawsuit, and all will be forgiven.

I agree with an earlier post. Stop watching and the ratings will fall and CBS will get the message. Tho I don't know how many people who watch on tv actually check out this website. I stopped watching after Janelle, when she won HOH a couple of weeks ago, didn't put up chilltown. I always respected her gameplay and thought she was smarter than that. She thinks it was more important to put up floaters than chilltown strikes me of CBS interference. They wanna keep chilltown in the house as long as possible. I've lost total respect for her. She is too smart to believe anything chilltown says. So that convinces me CBS had something to do with her noms. I get all my info now here on what's goin on and don't bother wasting time watching the heavily edited CBS show.
