I just want to say that I am so glad Eric is out of the house. So yay, we get one last vote. At least I don't have to listen to him for the next 11 days!!!

Everyone who wasn't an Eric fan should be thrilled that he's in the jury so that AmERICa gets to place his vote.
Let's just hope Jameka is NOT in the F2.
Ugh!
I don't want another Lisa/Jun to win.

LOL Sherbabe. I am thrilled that Eric is on the jury and that we get the vote. He won a cash prize and with his stipend he comes in third money wise.
Win, win.

Sherbabe - I totally agree. I was also disappointed in Eric's parting shots. unneccessary.

I also didn't like his comment to Julie about how if he played his own game he would have done so much better!

Give me a break!
He would have been out much earlier, not to mention that he might not have gotten so close with Jessica if he didn't have AP tasks that WE gave him softballs on so he COULD get close to her.

He basically came in second place anyway, what with the AP money and his stipend. Now he gets a week with Jessica on vacation in sequester? Sounds like he made out pretty well overall! :o)

---
By the way, anyone else suprised that he professed his "love" for Jessica on her goodbye tape?
I was shocked that he actually used the "L" word!

In the past we knew HG's recd $750 per week stipend, if you add up the weeks in sequester before the show, the weeks in the house, everyone who made jury recd $10,000. I wonder if Eric will recv his stipend plus the $40,000. If that is the case, he has 2nd place $$

UGH..........I think it sucks that Eric has to, yet again, cast an AP vote at the finale.

They should give him $10,000 just for that!

I thought the lawyer comment was funny. Ya must have missed the look on Dick's face when he said it.

I think Eric did a fine job being the AP especially considering America did not embrace the idea as intended and used it against Eric to further other players.

Bravo Eric!! Ya played a great game despite the AP burden.

I thought Eric did a wonderful job and I enjoyed watching him throughout the whole season. Luckily, most of the AP voting results ended up going the same way I voted, so maybe that's why I really have no complaints. Great Job, Eric!

I posted this in the "Biggest Flaw with AP" thread, but it belongs here too.

Maybe what they could do next year is offer random bribes during the voting procedure. You know like how they used to try to bribe someone and put the rest of the house on food restriction? Randomly draw numbers of voters, and randomly draw the names of the voters (so we know the person who goes in third after ball 3 is drawn wasn't just handpicked by CBS.) Then, offer that person $1,000 to allow America to vote in their place. Next year, they'll be on the alert for an "America's Player" so this way they all know what's up and can try to figure out who (if anyone) took the bribe and let America vote in their place. It'd be even funnier if the bribe taker wasn't told how America was going to vote!

The peeps who win the first and second place $$ don't get their stipends. I wonder if Eric will get his with his large AP winnings.

Does anyone know why AP is not used for the Jury Final vote??

I was looking forward to that and with Eric gone I thought it was going to happen.

I think America's Player was a great twist and Eric did a remarkably good job with it. Doesn't matter who your favorites are or were, this twist added drama and interest to what may have been an otherwise pretty hum-drum summer.

I think Eric did an excellent job as America's Player game wise. His one huge mistake was antagonizing various segments of the viewing public by making derogatory remarks. That certainly did not help his position or make the public feel inclined to help him.

Yeah, it's weird to me that anybody could think the AP twist was a huge failure. I enjoyed almost every minute of it. The only part I didn't enjoy was early on when before Eric realized the Donatos weren't most disliked and he was going against the vote. Once he caught on, I have no complaints.

Per CBS, "America's Player is not done yet." :-)

See this link:

If Zach can get rid of one of the D's, I think he deserves to win, not matter how "hard" you think the Donatos played. As they say on "Survivor, "Outwit/Outplay/Outlast."

Would somebody please explain the "Philly lawyer" remark to me? I'm sorry to be so dense, but I don't get it.
Thanks!

gail...........I think the remark was made to let Dick/Dani know that he (eric) would work in the jury house to sway any possible votes away from them. His revenge for D/D breaking the deal. I think he said it to rattle them and it worked on Dick.

I think that is right, Kirsten, and also several of the HG had suspected that Eric is an attorney. He did tell them his brother is an attorney.

Thanks! All I could relate it to was Tom Hanks' movie about the HIV positive lawyer. And that didn't make any sense at all.

I agree that Dick was rattled when Eric made that Philadelphia lawyer comment. I'm not sure it phased Dani but Dick was stammering then that is was just game. And wasn't it Dick that first called him a Philly lawyer for his power to persuade come eviction time some of the other weeks?

Many have mentioned that AP no longer needs to be a secret- but it does. Dick takes credit for many of the things that happened in the house- that was actually AP. (staying when he was at risk of leaving) If the jury learned about it- it could affect the vote (I think it would make them less likely to vote for DD- but not sure)
