We had a great show tonight because we gave Eric a task that could be completed. Keep giving him tasks that he can't complete and you just ruin your own fun.

Eric has to vote the way America tells him too.

Jess was the one to be on the show and when the other girl found out about BB she said NO. BB went out to find Carol. The $5 bucks was a cover story.

Jess needs to go regardless. Nobody has a chance at any money with her in the house. I think they are starting to realize that fact, finally.

Ummm yes Ambi, I think we all know that Eric must vote how we vote, but the question we are given is who do we want to see Eric get evicted? Either way he has to cast our vote, but to accomplish the task the person has to leave. So when Eric is given a task that is impossible to complete, some get angry that he couldn't make it happen and others get frustrated that the vote is just to sabatage Eric and therefore America. His wins are our wins. That is why tonights show was so much fun. America won. How much fun will Sunday be if Eric has to try to get Dani to nominated her Dad? It won't happen. Many will be mad that Eric "didn't" do what we wanted. Of course he couldn't in the first place.

Her dad? What are you talking about? I was refering to Eric's little girlfriend- Jessica.

Right. While I've never really liked Eric (though I do have sympathy for his situation), I do think it's childish for America to purposefully sabotage his game by telling him to campaign against Jessica. Ask yourself if you ever wanted him to succeed at being America's Player in the first place or was it that you were disappointed by a past task that you are seeking this revenge? If it's the latter, then what use is it making the tasks more difficult when he's already had to go against his better judgement to do what America wanted? Not that he should have America on his side mind you, as it's been well documented on the feeds that he has OCD and a mouth rivaling Dick's, I just think it's shameful for CBS to use his disability in this way, when America itself casts schizophrenic votes placating the producers need for controversy and ratings.

Bbonthego...I am not a fan of Eric but I am a fan of the America's Player twist. And yes America has deliberately trying to sabotage his game. I read where several people were going to vote/did vote last night for Eric to target Jessica for nomination by Daniele. I think that is totally trying to destroy Eric. Unfortunately such is the mindset of America...

Good morning all! I had to laugh when I got on here a few minutes ago - some things never change and I'm glad the debates go on and on. I always have to laugh when I am reading here. So many things I agree with, and just as many I disagree with it -- but I still love it. What an addiction! If I had to choose between Eric or Jessica leaving, I would want Eric to leave. I have never liked the AP twist, but I also have never voted for Eric/AP to do one thing or another - whether it was to his advantage or not, or whether he could actually complete it or not. AP is what it is and is part of the game this year. And it IS a game. That is all. Nothing more and nothing less. I really did enjoy all of the silliness in the house last night - the pirate on stilts, the barbershop quartet, etc. To me, that was a great time -- much more enjoyable than watching Eric yammer into the tv. I guess I won't be sorry to see either Eric or Jessica leave, but frankly, I want Jameka to leave first and then Amber.

America voted for Eric to lobby for Amber so I guess they aren't deliberately trying to sabotage his game. (Now that he seems to be doing what the majority of the voters wanted him to do)

everyone says she isn't playing the game. she is actually playing the best game there. she's not dirty and everyone likes her. ITA. When she nominated Dick/Dani, her target was Dani. Although his tactics get on her nerves, she knew Dani was the strongest of the two. I do agree that she is easily persuaded by Eric, but if push came to shove, I believe she is quite capable of making her own decisions.

I agree that Jessica is playing the game. She plays it better than anybody. That has always been my point. Who would want to take her to F2? I guess by reading the late night feeds that J/E and D/D have decided the order in which people are going. First Jen(backdoor?) then Amber and then Jameka. Stupid to me because Jameka and Amber have no power. Jameka still has to sit out HoH comps 3 more times. I know D/D made a deal with J/E to go to final 4 but deals were meant to be broken. This is just dumb playing. I also read that Eric has to go after Amber, not sure if this is final but it seems so.

I absolutely would not vote Eric to target Jessica for eviction. That would be cutting our noses off to spite our faces. I am extremely pleased with the E/J/D/D alliance and want it to succeed. I really like Jessica and I want either her or Dani to win. I think they are both playing great games so I don't see where Jessica is like Maggie at all.

It's the untouchable factor. Nobody in the house ever even talks about her going on the block.

Jessica is on Dick's radar as someone who has to go--but when it gets to final four. He's no dummy when it comes to targets--or rather he considers everyone for targeting so no one is immune. They are just sick of Jen and want her gone first. I think once this weeks' noms are over Jessica's name will come up more often. I love how she sits there and goes, yah, yah,--she only does about 30% of the talking all the time! The less she says, the less to pin on her later as a reason to go.

it's all about the "hit list". Everyone has their prefered order of people they want out, and Jessica happens to be at or near the bottom of most of them (maybe not Amber and Jameka anymore) right now. As we get closer to final 2, they'll start realizing she can beat just about anyone, and will act accordingly. We still got 5 weeks left here..I like Jessica, she's playing a good game, and I wouldn't mind her winning.

So Dick is just sick of Jen and wants her gone first? Guess what? D/D may never get HoH again. This maybe their only chance to get Jessica out. F4 is way too late. I doubt D/D will even be there by then.

People do dumb stuff all the time with noms/evictions in BB--the Donatos should have been broken up weeks ago as the strongest block and they are still there. Will should've been voted out early on in his season, the list goes on...HGs make poor choices all the time when it comes to noms/evictions. I'm willing to wait for it to play out. A lot can happen in a week and her name may come up soon.

I wouldn't worry about whomever anyone in power wants out now. If we have learned nothing else from this group this year, it really doesn't matter who gets nominated. The real demonizing and hatred turns to someone else and the PoV is used to get that person. The target on Friday ain't gonna be the target next Tuesday. As for D/D getting HoH again? Of course they will. Likely several times. One of the major strategic mistakes the group made in voting out Dustin is they allowed D/D, who compete and vote as one, to maintain their disproportional power. Last night, D/D had a 1 in 3 chance of winning the HoH while everyone else had a 1 in 6 chance. It is not surprising one of them won. As each HG is evicted, the D/D proportional strength simply increases. The strategic stupidity of voting out Dustin is enough reason to get rid of Jess -- anyone making such a blunder deserves to go.

Ambi - Who would you like to see win this season? I don't have any favorites (first time in all the BB seasons), however I do think Jess is playing a good game. Sometimes I think she should think more for herself and then other times I think she is totaling thinking for herself and is using Eric to ride her way as far as she can without getting her hands dirty. And hey, if that is part of her strategy and she can do it, why not? Isn't part of the point of playing BB is to get to the end and still have the evicted HG want to vote for you to win? I will say out of all the HG she is probably the one with the least amount of "blood" on her hands both in making enemies and in not talking trash about other people.

Jessica is like cotton candy. Sugary and sweet but with no substance. I don't mean to sound mean saying that either cause I do like her btw.

D/D deserve to loose after being in power this week and wasting it. That's all I have to say. I'm off to do errands. Maybe I should buy some light bulbs while I'm out to stick on top of D/d's heads.-Later.

it was not stupid to vote out dustin for d/d/j/e. now, at least for this one week, they are sticking to their plan. they all agreed if they get to final 4, may the best person win. and.. last night on the showtime feed after dick explained things to j/a. amber clearly stated she does not like jessica. jameka told her to not think about that yet since they really don't know the full story of how voting out dustin came down. yes, this stuff happens every year and it will continue to happen because the HG's DO NOT know what we know. hindsight is 20/20.

It often comes down to a conflict between having to live 24/7 with people you don't like vs. living with someone who you do like but who may be tough to beat at the end. Jessica seems to be a very likable person to have around the BB house. She is fun and pleasant and she isn't going after Dick and Dani and she was the person that prevented Dick from being evicted. Dick apparently likes her a lot. On top of that, she hasn't demonstrated that she is particularly good at the competitions. I think that Dick and Dani are confident that they will be able to beat her in the competitions when it comes down to the end. Therefore, they think they will never have to worry about facing her in the final two, so they are perfectly happy to keep her around in the meantime. Jen is good at competitions and Dick doesn't like her. Amber almost won HOH (unbelievably) and Dick doesn't like her. Jameka can't compete but Dick doesn't like her.

jimmer, you are correct. dick adores her. plus i don't think we have seen all of what jessica can do. she's not stupid! and she is a huge fan of bb. she KNOWS that what you have to do is get to final two with having everyone on the jury like you. plus she is having fun. i think if she said 'i am just here for the experience' i would believe her. she is a heck of a lot smarter than i was at 21, heck, she's smarter then me at 38!!
