He is not trying to hide his vote to evict Jameka, I suspect the conversation was revolving around his preparing Jessica for his vote to evict her (if that had been America's choice) explaining it was a sympathy vote for Jameka. ETA - If there is any credit to be given Eric he has improved on anticipating and preparing for whatever America sends his way.

And you still believe Jameka got the most votes?? I could believe Jessica got the most votes but it will be Jameka in the envelope (or there won't even be one again). BB is protecting Eric's game and I'm just wondering for how long they're prepared to do so when they want D/D in F2.

I do beleive that America voted to evict Jameka. People like all that lovey dovey showmance stuff...the typical viewer that doesnt have the feeds wants that to continue. I refuse to believe that BB rigs those votes, that kind of thing could be easily exposed.

I also believe that the casual viewer voted to evict Jameka. They get sucked in by the faux-mance and want to see Jess and Eric together.

Jessica does have a lot of fans. She is the 2nd most popular houseguest on the CBS polls. So I do believe the vote was to evict Jameka. A lot of the TV viewers prefer Jessica to the Donatos. Eric has no reason to try to hide a vote to evict Jameka. Jameka would expect him to try to save Jessica. And D/D will just prove that they lied about the alliance as I suspected from the beginning they would. I never expected them to hold to it and looks like they won't. Since the HOH will be a question HOH due to time, I think Eric has a very good shot of winning it. He has done well in those before and obviously bailed at a point. I hope he wins, puts D/D up and Daniele is gone by the end of the evening too! This will be his chance when he doesn't have to worry about the AP vote.

Took the words out of my mouth as well, Lucymac. Fantastic post. Those are my wishes as well. Do we know for sure who won the AP vote last night?

Yes, POV is crucial. I also think Eric will be so flustered by the Jessica eviction that he will not be able to think straight. D/D/Z will have a mental advantage going into the HOH comp.

I wouldn't bet on Eric being flustered by the Jessica eviction, he could just as easily become angry and focused. He has shown a remarkable ability to adapt so far.

that's a gamble D/D are taking with Eric being distracted over Jessica's eviction. But maybe this is all TOO MUCH ADO FOR NOTHING, when they hear of the Double Eviction they'll get Jameka out first to prevent disaster. You need to gamble however if you want more chance to win HOH. Better to play against Eric than playing against Eric AND Jessica... If Eric still wins, then Daniele will try harder for POV (but since I suspect it's going to be physical (like the ropes last year) Zach may do better... and again it will be up to him to save D/D.... if BB tells him so.

I wonder how hard it would be for Eric to pull Zach & Jameka into a 3 person alliance if he calls Dick on his betraying the DDJE alliance. Zach understands completely that getting to F2 with his Dick & Dani alliance is not good odds. Zach tried very hard to get Eric to commit to something other than 'voting out Jameka' prior to the nominations, but Eric wasn't willing to betray the DDJE alliance at that time.

Nope Spunky I didn't forget about the POV. It's also possible Jameka could win that and keep the noms the same as could Eric. And Zach might leave things the way they are. If D/D are up there is no guarantee one of them will win the veto and if they do one of them could still go home. I think if one of them came down Eric would be more likely to put up Zach. I still think Jameka would be more likely to vote out D/D and Eric would send one of them home in a tie. I think he will be angry and focused as opposed to flustered, especially since it seems he has an idea it could happen. They may not know about the double eviction until the show starts and it will be too late then for D/D to talk about it.

Dani is making a typical late game mistake. Trying to determine who she wants to be competing against at F3 rather than getting through this week. If Eric has as much BB knowledge as he claims he has he should recognize this and use it to keep Jess in the game.

Again it will all be up to Zach.. if he wins that all important Veto and Eric is HOH (the briefest HOH) he can save D/D again.

I asked this earlier, but can anyone tell who the AP choice was for? Thanks. Kidsatm, for some reason, Zach thinks his best bet is D/D. I don't understand it at all. He has to know they will take each other. How does he expect to get one of them out on his own? Impossible. This would have been the week to split them up. I don't understand his thinking at all, so I don't think he'd turn on them if Eric/Jameka wanted to make a deal. He's very hard to figure out.

with the double eviction, i have a sneaky feeling that zach or jameka will sneak in final 3 somehow.

It appears that the AP choice was Jameka.

Thanks, Jimmer. I'm glad. It will be interesting to see what happens if D/D realize it's a FF tomorrow night and change their minds.

Eric just told Jameka that he was voting for Jess to stay.

I can't imagine that he would tell Jameka that he was voting for her to stay even if that was what AP vote was. If the question was "Who would Eric vote out?" the answer is clear to all, right?

~~~~~~~~REST IN PEACE NOW ERIC~~~~~~~~~~~ YOU DID AN EXCEPTIONAL JOB ON BEHALF OF ME AS AMERICA'S PLAYER, I VALUED MY ABILITY TO ALWAYS TRY HELP YOU PLAY STRATEGICALLY AND NOT BASED ON MY PERSONAL PREFERENCES OF HOUSE GUESTS. I guess to quote the Donatos "The bottle never lies", but I guess the person holding the bottle does.
