Why will anyone bother to vote? Surely, they're going to split this so that each receives $275,000.

ETA: They=finally two players

I think they may try a different approach with AP next year. Not so much the AP votes our way, but more of a "mole" who is given choices that we vote on for different ways to mess with the HGs.
That way, the "mole" is free to vote however he, she chooses, but does things to sabotage the others.
I think fans might find that more interesting, as long as the tasks aren't mean spirited or cruel.
I still think the mustard thing violated BB's own policy of not destroying something that belongs to someone else. But, sabotaging food comps, HOH comps, Veto comps, strategy meetings, plots, and stuff in the house (like taking bribes to put the HGs on slop or no hot water) could be amusing.

I don't think AP will or should ever be a part of the show again. I think the concept bombed due to America voting against AP, which lost sight of what AP was all about cuz some may not have liked who was selected. If he would have played the game on his own, I bet any money that things would have turned out differently, whether he went home sooner or later. Hope that made sense.

An afterthought, I really like "The Mole" series. To bad they cut it.

Maybe an America's Player pair would work, alternating votes and tasks. Like a tag team. Or, it might be funnier if they don't know about each other and think they are the only AP.

Sorry if this was brought up before but did Eric know about the enemies twist or just that he was going in the house as America's player?

i think it would work if they when in there to play OUR game and not there own... it was fun to begin with then he started wanting it his way.... so again if the player knew that in order to be in the house they would have work the way america wanted. and by the way eric was the one who came up with the mustard not US... he could have done something stupid.....

if there ever will be another bb all stars again, eric would be most deserving of a spot. then he can truly play his own game.
he is quite a character.

I think so, too Sherbabe...I didn't dislike Eric as a player just the whole AP thing-no matter who it was!
I think he did better than some of the others would have done!

I agree Sher that he would deserve a spot on an Allstars should there ever be one. I do think he did a good job with this.

And for those that wondered if he could ever refuse to vote the way he was told, AG said today on Housecalls that would be breaking his contract and he would forfeit all the money he had already won. I doubt it matters a lot either way to him now that the final 2 is D/D but if it had not been both of them it might have been different but he would still have to vote the way the AP vote goes or lose everything.

I don't think he could just refuse and had to make an attempt. It didn't mean he had to complete them all however. So he did attempt to ignore Jessica but was not given credit for it as he did speak to her briefly. Just like he was not given credit for getting into bed with Joe since he was supposed to stay there until Joe noticed him or said something to him. I'm sure for Eric it seemed like an eternity that he was there when it wasn't that long lol.

I sure hope CBS when pulling out the votes saves Eric for last, (no matter what the votes are) -
Julie can ask "And Eric how did AMERICA TELL YOU TO VOTE" ....but the best part would be if CBS had a split screen "Brady Bunch Style" with every face so we can see each and every reaction, before they explain the vote. Now that would be priceless

Yeah but obiviously I don't think BB is smart enough. They will only want us to see what they want us to see.

I don't want them to reveal AP during the vote because I think that would just confuse the HGs. It should be its own segment, with video footage of Eric explaining it and doing various tasks. But I *do* agree with you that they need to use a split screen, Lanative! We need to see the segment on one side, and the jury's simultaneous reaction on the other. :-)
