Nobody is saying that they would have changed it into giving a housemate money instead.

How did I contradict myself??
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.
