It doesn't matter if they opened the envelopes before Big Brother revealed the twist, the producers still saw which housemate had which amount through which colour envelope they chose which means they could pick and chose which scenario they wanted to go with in order to get the result they wanted.

It's not complicated at all - basically it just means that it's likely they had three different questions for three different scenarios.

They should have posed the qiestion....had identical envelopes and then told them to open...no colour coding......its so obvious what they are playin at

They would always have chose poor Sam though

[Ashley.]

Jack would've taken the Blue one because he's a football-mad boys' boy, and Chloe would've taken the Red/Pink one because she's a girly girl. It's psychology.

What colour did Sam pick?

[Lampfan]

We Scots are a sucker for blue. When I saw her grab it I had a feeling it would land her in bother.

Marsh..by them picking colours it gave them a chance to pick the question accordingly...if the had plain envelopes...asked the question and had them open the plain envelopes that wud have been fair..once the picked tge coloured ones they needent have even bothered openong then as the producers knew what was in tgem before they opened them at all....cant you see that. .gave tgem a chance to pick tge apropriate question and bought them time

Except they did have them open them.

My point is they didn't need them to be colour coded as they revealed their amounts before the question either way.

This. Colour coded or not, Big Brother took the chance to manipulate and they did.

..I didn't actually see the envelope thing or what the colours were but surely it would be quite an easy think to 'fix' /I'm not saying that it was a fix but it wouldn't be too difficult for them to choose colours based on an application form and a favourite colour question as that would be a safe assumption of what colour a housemate would be more likely to choose...so always 'knowing' that Sam's would have Ł15,000 in it...

Sorry..last minute packing..and trying to type is not great

I do get it. You don't seem to be understanding what I am saying.

They didnt need to dick with the question... it was just a shrouded way to evict sam regardless. The rest was all glitter and stage magic style misdirection to distract from the fact the producers just basically evicted a HM live on tv without public vote

[MartianMark]

This is live television. The folks in charge didn't have time to dick around after they opened the envelope to figure out how things needed to unfold.

I would assume they were color coded to ensure they had the maximum amount of time between the choosing of the envelopes and then posing the right question.

But I agree, there was absolutely no reason to have them color coded at all other than to buy some more time being that this was all live.

But, again, there's no need to "dick around" at all if they had two questions ready for two different scenarios.

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.

Yet again.... live television. (and since quotes seem to be flying around) "LIVE" television. Did you see how long it took them to open up those envelopes?? Using the colored envelopes gave production enough time to make absolutely 100% certain no mistakes were made.

I'm not saying this is a conspiracy theory. In the end they can can pose whatever question they want. Maybe they wanted Sam out b/c Chloe and Jack will bring in more phone calls.. who knows (or cares). All I'm saying is, in all likelihood, using a color coded system simply bought them an extra 60 sec's just to be absolutely certain no one screwed up since they have very little time after the reveal.

[camertone]

blatant fix, if chloe and jack got 15k envelope, if they may get evicted and then bb will say they can keep that money. since it's sam, it's nada from bb.

[Marsh.]

Hello brick wall, nice to see you.

[qwerty42]

its all for danny to win. Evryone trying to make him famous.

[NotARylanFan]

The different colours were probably used to give production a little extra time just to confirm 100% what question they would ask to have Sam evicted.

[Rob!]

Coloured envelopes =fix.

That's a new one.

MY GOD!

What point have I missed?

Do you seriously not understand what he's trying to say?

The question of who to evict was asked after the three housemates had already revealed their money amount, therefore it wouldn't have mattered if the envelopes were colour coded or not.
