Interactive communications specialist Legion Interactive, which manages text-messaging and mass-calling services for Network 10's Big Brother program, today found itself in the doghouse after "human error" in its vote tallying processes last night saw one contestant wrongly evicted.

That Big Brother housemate, "Bree", has elected to be recalled in a show to be broadcast tonight at 7:30pm (AEST).

Legion -- which bills itself as the leading provider of interactive telephone, SMS/MMS, Internet and e-mail services for broadcast media -- blamed "human error" for the mistake and referred all queries to the television network.

A spokesperson for Network 10 told ZDNet Australia a post-eviction audit by Legion found that a "small percentage of the votes" had been excluded from the final tally. Unfortunately for Legion and all involved with the program, the margin between Bree and the contestant who attracted the next highest number of votes for eviction -- without the missed votes being included -- was just 1 percentage point.
