Lurk, go read the thread at SS. His brother really goes in to detail about everything. He even said that CBS was a little dismayed at their reaction to AP. His family did NOT know about it and they are a little ticked because they had high hopes for his game. He and his brother really planned it out.

my guess is Jen did not do what was expected. Also, I've noticed quite a few vortex showing up at weird times on feeds. like when Dick walked in on Kail Mike and Zach having a meeting in the bedroom. WHy Vortex? what is being hidden from the viewers? it is like they Knew that confrontation is going to occurr and what to ensure that Live Feeders NEED to watch the TV show to see what Really happened. Right now I think that the Noms have been over for around half hour. We are not seeing the Frantic 'touching base' that occurs when people are put on the block. My guess?? Jen chose someone that no one expected to be put up. Of course I'll be shocked if neither Dick nor dani take at least one seat

TypingFool I have no doubt that's posted...I just don't buy it. My theory makes FAR more sense to me, ESPECIALLY given his posted job! I may be wrong, but until I see or hear anything that convinces me I am, I will remain committed that his is a AG/AS plant!

Sun...I suspect you are probably right...BB is waiting until they cool off before going back to feeds

Actually now that I think of it...why is that such a bad idea. Wouldn't it be kinda fun if there was a plant...kinda like The Mole

Sun I agree with the feeds and it's annoying me. I seen them pull away from tons of convo's and switch to 4 lame same boring feeds. It is getting beyond annoying as I feel they aren't letting us see a fraction of what is going on and certainly nothing interesting. They may think they are forcing me to tune in, but they are boring me so I may finally tune totally OUT! I swear I'm not invested in this year at all!!!! And Bonbon, don't disagree w/you..but look at how they cast this year. Are half of them good enough to be in there? I don't think so. So why should the AC either? Clearly casting isn't especially strong on BB, especially this year IMHO

I believe his brother. Here is a snippet of a post written by his brother about Eric/live feeds: snip Quote: Has he always been a big reality tv fan? ========================================= An obscenely big one - he watches more reality tv than anyone else i know - all the big ones - AI, TAR, Surv, BB, Apprentice, HK, Top Chef, Runway, ANTM, SYTYCD, RW, RR/RW, surreal life, flavor of love, Bachelor, search for the next food network star, plus he has watched almost every other one that's come and gone, Paradise Hotel, Forever Eden, Joe Schmoe 1 and 2, Rock Star 1 and 2, that abc idol/rock star wannabe last season that got cancelled, and so on and so forth - it's frightening how much he's watched. But AI and BB have always been his favorite. snip Question has Eric been a part of the reality television forum community prior to going into the house? Is he aware of all the websites for BB and the kinds of things people post? =========================================== He is very much aware because of me - and has read some things I've shown him. However, the last two summers he didn't get the feeds so he couldn't view anything without pre-screening because of spoiler concerns. But he is all too aware of what's out there and as he put it before leaving - win or lose, good or bad, at least he'll be memorable. And he gave me his blessing to come out of my shell and post full-time here this summer as long as the producers would be cool with it - and once the show started last Thursday I was given the go-ahead. snip

One more part of my theory. Say Eric was just a regular Joe who made it on BB, came to play his game, committed to the show, and then found out he couldn't play his game, he HAD to do what America said. I think that person would have one yell of lawsuit and would be super pissed off about it. What also convinced me was when Eric went off yelled at us on the show "HEY America, I'm your player, we are going to do great" and other BS like that. He sounded rehearsed, professional and to me hired. (it was also a very different voice than his usual one). He did not sound like a person who struggled to get on a reality show and found out he couldn't play but America was. To me that person would almost have to be a plant. The stupidity on AG's part was not just admitting it, saying they choose a person to play for us, but in pretending it was one of the finalists.

Cricket I see very little if anything in that post that wouldn't be accurate if he worked for BB or say a casting agency BB uses. Most or all could still be true. And he could still be a plant this year!

this is crap. I believe that the feeds are being kept hidden so more feeders HAVE to watch the TV show

I really don't think Eric has any grounds at a lawsuit here. I'm sure that BB offered him (and quite possibly others) the AC on the proviso that if they said no, they could not be on the show. Obviously, if a player's been offered they know the AC will be part of the game and the whole thing is blown. Not every one who auditions gets on (obviously), and this would be just one of many factors that would lead to BB saying "no".

Sunshyne - I thought it was common knowledge that the TV show is put before the feeds.

Doesn't seem too out of the ordinary for feeds to be off for a couple of hours during the nomination ceremony

Flamingo, if you were BB production, would you risk pissing off a HG who might have some recrimination or just use a plant who will do whatever you want??? This just seems to make MUCH more sense to me on so many levels. Well we all can believe what we want. But we know what control freaks they are...and seems that AG is worse than Arnie if that is possible. Just look at this bogus feed situation...between feeds being off and pulling away from all good chats, they have been totally controlled trash this year not worth watching. I am on the cusp of cancelling, and if I do I may just give up this show. There's only a few players I don't hate anyways. I'm really not enjoying this BB at all!

instead of calling him an America's Player, he could have been our 'mole' or our 'Inside Man'. this would have given the connotation that he was playing his Own game but reported to us/ we gave instuctions. America's player makes it sound like he is playing 'for us'. not sure if i'm making myself clear

You are Sunshyne, and according to Sanfran's interpretation of the rules, he is playing for us.

My recollection is that in the past the feeds were off for approx. one hour for the nomination ceremony. This seems unusual to me.

you know, I was just thinking. Jen is a bit of a drama queen. i could see her deliberately making the others wait for like an HOUR before completeing her keys in box ....then calling them back. then everyone would 'get ready' and go the bathroom. So that would be 1 1/2 hrs gone by.....then teh meeting would start. so I can see 2 hrs being a real possibility with this batch of HGs

As Carol found out, Lurk, once you sign the original paperwork, CBS OWNS you and there is nothing you can do about it. Not saying I agree with that, but that's what was discussed when Carol was upset.
