CORRECTION, rechecking the times. I sent a mail to Deshon at 1:11 AM the night of the HoH telling him that the punishment started. 8 minutes later, at 1:19 AM and 58 seconds, I confirmed it once again that Sterling and Deshon had been given their punishments.
While Deshon did talk after 1:11 AM, he did stop before 1:19 AM. There's a claim that he didn't read his mails until this time. While I can't prove this one way or another, I did give Sterling a grace period to get into his uglatard. In the spirit of fairness, I will allow this same grace period for Deshon. His penalty vote will be revoked, unless there's further proof that he commented to another houseguest after the post made in this chat. Sorry for any confusion.
