Whatever people think the alternative questions or scenarios are that they could've asked doesn't matter, I was just assuming there that people thought the alternative scenario would be that they would 'give' money to their favourites rather than 'evict' their least favourite based on the post I just read beforehand by camertone above, not the point I was making.

I still don't see what the problem is though?? Unless I'm delirious from being awake at 3am and totally missing the point of the thread, people seem to be suggesting that the fact the envelopes were three different colours means the producers knew what amount was in each one, and so they could alter the question they ask accordingly depending on which housemate picks up which one to suit their needs based on who they want evicted.

However, they still only asked the question after they opened up the envelopes, so even if all three envelopes were the same colours, the producers had time to see what amount each housemate picked up when they opened them up and read them out, and then they could still alter the question accordingly just as they would have done earlier if the colours were different. The only difference is that they have to wait an extra 30 seconds to see who picked what and therefore have a tiny bit less time to check their list of questions to see which is most appropriate, but I can't see how that would be a significant problem cause they could only have a maximum of two anyway.

Your contradiction is that in your explanation of your theory you prove the original point that was made in this thread. By having different colours and knowing which value was inside each envelope, they could change their question no matter which envelope each respective housemate chose.

Yes, they asked them the question after they opened the envelope but that means that they still had the time to literally pick one of two or three questions based on which housemate had which.

I guess in layman's terms our disagreement really comes down to the timing of it all.

If they needed to "dick around" then obviously they weren't very well prepared, which then begs the question of why they'd bother with coloured envelopes if they're so sodding useless.

They had different questions prepared depending on who too which amount...if jack had the 15000 they would probably say it would have been deducted rather than added... if it was fair...they should have had aame colour envelopes.
