Kswheels, we're thinking it's because of last night's show when she was so snarky to/about Carol. I think only the LF people should vote, lol. Go through RP. Might make more people get the feeds and they would certainly have a clearer picture, because the show is skewed the way BB wants.

Doesn't he have to attempt the task in order to win the money but he has the option of doing what he wants to (but he won't win the money).

When the casting director was on Housecalls, she said he has to attempt the task. That isn't optional.

I wish it could be a double elimination; Nick and Daniele. Soo sick of listening to him about her.

KS I know i split my votes evenly between Jessica and Joe lol...so guess she had a couple more. And sorry but yeah..she and the voice that makes my ears bleed IS that bad IMHO! Plus she acts like a twit and I was hoping it was an act but I've yet to see any other side to her, ever.

My understanding is with Jimmers, that the AC doesn't have to do it, but if he wants it to count towards extra $$ (what is it 10K for each six tasks) he has to do it.

When did Eric talk to Jen about Jessica? I've been on a BB break when it got annoying/boring.

Plus, I don't want both Kansas hamsters to be out 1-2.

That's right, Kswheels. Don't be messing with Middle America! They are two of the most normal people in the house.

Agree Cricket. I'm sorry, but people who watch the show but no feeds don't have a clue what happens in he house. If they visit sites like TVCH it might help a bit, but not enough to make up for not having feeds.

it is my understanding that he is given tasks every few days. for ever 5 tasks that he completes he is given $10,000.

now I think they will be loose in their intrepertation of weather he completes the task...I.e. when he is told to try to comvince the HOH to put up a certain player...He need only suggest and make argument as to why that player should be put up...Even if the HOH decides not to put that person up, Eric still gets a check mark for having completed the task...

Jimmer, it says he must accomplish the task to win the money but it never says he "opt out" of attempting the task.

Here is how it works

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother8/americas_player/

As I understand it, HE is US. He is our surrogate player. He represents all us voting viewers, so he has to do what we tell him. He doesn't have the option to not even try. However, if he tries and fails, he doesn't get paid that extra cash.

If the casting director said the AC HAD to do it, then they either changed the rules or said it wrong when they explained it to us. If I were Eric I'd be pissed cause even I think he should have some option on his vote or it could cost him the game. Although I still think he is a total plant (notice how his profile has him in the industry and he told the HG he was in advertising lol).

But on the off change he is legit lol it's wrong. Too many votes don't have the feeds and don't see/understand all of what is really going on in the house, only the TV spin.

SFJF - But, in theory, if he thinks completing the task would severely damage his game, he could make a half assed attempt or tank it on purpose.

Jimmer, it was my understanding from the casting director, that Eric can not pick and choose tasks. He has to at least try the task. With voting, I would think, it's a given he has to vote with what the public wants.

Ok I read the official AC rules and I just don't see where it says he MUST do it, just that if accomplishes it counts towards $$$. And I'm almost positive that they said on the first show he can choose or not...anyone remember this?

And why are some of you so sure someone is going back in the house? I read earlier that they were talking to Carol about the AC and if there was a chance she would go back they wouldn't have. I don't think there is a comeback player this year...plus that person is usually targeted the following week anyway so it's not effective IMHO.

See here's the thing. Suppose he refuses to say the name we voted for. They gonna boot him and expose the twist to the rest of the house before the end of the game, leading to an almost certain house mutiny? And we all know he has it in him to say "Nope. Not gonna. And you can't make me!"

I'm 0 to 3 on America's vote this summer. I feel like my vote doesn't count. It's a strange feeling to have because the last two seasons whenever I voted for a certain person she always won.

Exactly Hypermom. He can't "try" to vote for someone. He either does or he doesn't.

Kswheels, yes, some tasks could damage his game....but the whole point of him being "America's Player" is that it isn't just his game....it is our game, too!....because he is just the personification of ALL us BB-8 voters.

Besides, he will win extra cash if he completes the tasks, so it's not like he's merely a pawn left to our mercy. He is a pawn that could potentially make tens of thousands of dollars that the other HGs cannot.

That's how I understand it anyhow.

the editing is going to have a big part in how AC winners are chosen. Kail probably was the first choice because she was presented as the "older" mom. Carol was up against the always crying God fearing single mom. Jessica was shown in a very bad light (not at all undeservedy) on last night's show.

"Ok I read the official AC rules and I just don't see where it says he MUST do it"

The very first line:

At the conclusion of every episoode, you will have the chance to vote on an important assignment that Eric must complete five tasks, from the strategic, to the personal, even including whom to make out in the house. whom to target for eviction.

The money is definitely an incentive, but I still hate the idea that
A. He is a pawn to a possibly rigged vote
and B. That there are (now 12) other house guests who don't get a chance at the same money. As far as "fairness" goes, it sucks. Not much can legitimately be called unfair in a game like BB, but this "twist" is just that on so many levels.
