Winning loses all meaning if you can win based on a simple mistake like this.

This degrades the game as a whole.
The keys clearly said GARY and JILLIAN. Topaz was so concerned with trying to get a clever zing at Jillian that she picked up her key without knowing. That has nothing to do with the voting system not being clear or Topaz not understanding how to vote. She ****ed up and if anything, SHE degraded the game as a whole, not the producers.

I agree with the person above who said that they should have to write their votes on a piece of paper, then there would be no confusion.
They clearly say GARY and JILLIAN it's not their job to account for whether or not Topaz's contacts are in or whether or not she's paying attention to which key she's grabbing. It's only her fault, the producers handled it fine.

Uh bitter juries are completely fair and part of the game that you have to anticipate. They're kind of essential.
