From the novel, it wasn't Haruhi. Its started by Kyon himself. He is the one who has kind of divine power. Not Haruhi.

But of course in the first novel, at earlier part, Kyon did wish something weird or something like that happen.

Taken from AnimeSuki.
Part 1:
The chosen candidates include:
1. Tsuruya-san: Oh it's Haruhi-nyan! Up to something interesting with Mikuru again?
2. Asakura: Why do humans like to do such trivial matters?
3. Computer Club President: W...what does the SOS Brigade want with me this time?
4. Kyon: Wha...why the hell am I here anyway?

Judeges:
1. Haruhi: Behold the Commander of the SOS Brigade! Be honoured that you're being judged by me!
2. Nagato: (busy reading)
3. Mikuru: There's so many interesting activities with the brigade. I'll do my best!
4. Koizumi: It's an honour being here. As the vice-commander of the brigade, I'll do my best so as not to let Suzumiya-san, who appointed me, disappointed.

Haruhi on:
1. Tsuruya-san: 8 - I get along so well with Tsuruya-san! I had wanted to invite her to the SOS Brigade, but she seems preoccupied then, such a pity!
2. Asakura: 5 - She disappeared all of a sudden. Something strange must be happening! Kyon! We're flying to Canada right away!
3. Computer Club Prez: 3 - The computer is the property of the SOS Brigade! I won't allow any dissent!
4. Kyon: 0 - I...I have nothing to say about Kyon! W...what are you looking at me like that for? (Are you sure that's a 10 and not a 0, Haruhi? )

Nagato on:
1. Tsuruya-san: 5 - Character which conveniently appears constantly...A bit close with her.
2. Asakura: 3 - The Integrated Data Sentient Entity originally sent her to assist me, but she was a radical interface...
3. Computer Club Prez: 7 - Lets me improve the programme on "The Day of Sagitarrius 3", never talked to him.
4. Kyon: 8 - Only person capable of controlling Suzumiya Haruhi, that's why......

Mikuru on:
1. Tsuruya-san: 9 - An important friend I met in this time plane. A very helpful and kind person. Though time to time I felt like telling her my real identity.
2. Asakura: 5 - Umm......I don't know this person.
3. Computer Club Prez: 1 - YAAAHHH!!!!! (Mikuru-chan was being polite in giving this pathetic moron a 1 instead of a 0. )
4. Kyon: 8 - Kyon-kun has always been kind to me. Someday I must repay him.

Koizumi on:
1. Tsuruya-san: 6 - Tsuruya-san's always been a great help to my "Organization", almost like a patron. I don't dislike her at all. (Grins)
2. Asakura: 5 - From the same group as Nagato-san. Yet her social skills far surpass that of Nagato-san's.
3. Computer Club Prez: 5 - After supplying us with the desktop PC in spring, he gracefully gifted us 4 notebook PCs as well. I am thankful for his generosity. (Grins)
4. Kyon: 10 - Heh heh heh......I've been trying to lure him into my charm, though he only sees me as a friend. Someday, Kyon-kun's body will be mine...... (This WTF remark really puts an end to any debate about Koizumi's sexuality. )

Part 2:
Chosen candidates:
1. Haruhi: This time it's my turn! Kyon, you'd better rate me highly, or you'll face the consequences!
2. Mikuru: W...why am I being rated for?
3. Nagato: ......Understood
4. Alternate Nagato: Since it's your wish......

Judges:
1. Kyon: Oh boy. That idiot Haruhi's at it again. I'm just gonna rate Asahina-san and ignore the rest.
2. Taniguchi: The SOS Brigade sure has some amazing girls. Now behold my amazing girl-observation skills!
3. Kunikida: I don't know how they'll appreciate my ratings, but from the look of Suzumiya-san's eyes, it's safe to give them some decent points.
4. Koizumi: I'm not confident I can make out any ratings here. But since Suzumiya-san nominated me as her vice-commander, I'll do my best.

Kyon on:
1. Haruhi: 4 - Haruhi huh? She's good at nearly everything, yet it's always me that has to pick up the mess. I'm really tired of it.
2. Mikuru: 10 - Ah~~~ The only goddess that could ease all my troubles! (This rating is expected from Kyon. )
3. Nagato: 8 - Nagato has always saved us from trouble everytime. Always involved in the SOS Brigade's activities without a word of complaint.
4. Alternate Nagato: 7 - Ah~well, she's cute, no? I've got nothing else to say. This Nagato isn't too bad, yet I prefer the normal Nagato better.

Taniguchi on:
1. Haruhi: 7 - Well she's got pretty good looks. Yet besides her good looks and talent at almost anything, her behaviour is a different story. So she gets a 7 from me.
2. Mikuru: 10 - AAAAHHHHHHH~~~!!! The school's idol! This A-class beauty makes everyone bow before her! Next year I'll definitely get her Valentine's Day chocolate!
3. Nagato: 10 - Shooting Star A-!!! While Asahina-san's amazingly cute, Nagato's a stunning beauty in her own right. Come to think of it, how come all the cute girls are gathered in the SOS Brigade?
4. Alternate Nagato: 10 - WHOA! This is great! This Nagato is blushing! Her charm's definitely increased.

(So...which girl deserves a 10, Taniguchi?)

Kunikida on:
1. Haruhi: 6 - Not much opinion about her......though she seems like a bright student most of the time.
2. Mikuru: 6 - Her maid cosplay in the school festival is great. Not sure if I can ever date her though......
3. Yuki: 7 - I always wonder what book she's reading. Lately I noticed she's been opening up a bit to Kyon, wonder what happened to her?
4. Alternate Yuki: 7 - Somehow she seems different from the usual Nagato-san. But isn't this a good thing?

Koizumi on:
1. Haruhi: 0 - Suzumiya-san's energeticness and her ability to make reality bend to her will far exceeds our expectations. Though she may be destined to be with him, I won't give up on Kyon-kun just yet. (Grins)
2. Mikuru: 0 - An adorable beautiful girl. Her charm is just illuminating. ......But, in the end, Kyon-kun is mine. (Grins)
3. Nagato: 0 - She's like the real mover and shaker in the SOS Brigade. I even made a promise that I might betray my organization just to help her. ......Lately she's been getting closer and closer to Kyon-kun, no?
4. Alternate Nagato: 9 - Heh heh heh......So this is the other appearance that Nagato-san wishes herself to be in huh? Since this Nagato-san won't be of much help to Kyon-kun, so I'm not worried about her being a rival.
