Spunky, I agree with you-I've said that they're going to do Eric's vote out of sequence (usually, they reveal the votes from first jury person evicted to last evicted). Eric's vote will be revealed first or last IMO-first if the AP vote was moot, and there was a decision based on the other 6 votes (which I think will be the case); they still want to show what the AP result was. If it's not the first vote shown-this likely means the other 6 votes split 3-3, and "America" has decided the winner.

I think Jen's question will be something like "Do you think I looked good in the red leotard" or "Do you think I looked better in a bikini than the other HGs?"

because I don't expect any good questions to come from this jury. i agree OnlyHuman. Every one of the jury knew Dick and Dani were acting as a team yet did nothing about it. The real reason for D and D final are sitting in the Juryhouse Eric and JEss. I'm sure that they arent exactly wellreceived. anyways, I for one, am really looking forward to the atmosphere after the Questions. Both D n D have a tendency to overthink and torment themselves with "could be" and " it might mean". I personally considered many of Dick tirades to be blowing off steam. Often it was after a Dani argument and he'd be simmering for hours waiting for a chance. Now there are only two in the house. How will the pressure blow off? Should be interesting....UNLESS Dick just defers everything to Dani saying She should win. of course, this probably would ensure he would LOL Could be interesting

It just occurred to me. Eric has to vote the America tells him. In fact he has no choice. But what, if anything, will motivate Eric to campaign for America's Choice? There is no more money in it for him. In fact, Eric probably feels that America cost him the game and possibly a chance at a relationship with Jessica!

Jimmer, Eric's incentive is he will loose his winnings and stipend if he does not attempt to honor his obligation as AP. AG said this on House calls yesterday.

Jimmer, I wondered about that too and can easily see BB/AG 'reminding' Eric that he IS obligated to fulfill all of his AP contractual duties in order to be paid, so that would be a good motivator, LOL. OR, perhaps they've hinted at some bonus he might earn if he is successful in swaying the votes so that AP's choice does win?? Maybe not $10k but enough to make it worth his while plus again, he knows he has to 'finish the job' or risk forfeiting that $40k. ETA: Ya see, this is why I don't do live feed posting anymore..type too dang slow, LOL..oh well, already covered, and more succinctly, too.

Julie didn't say anything about Eric campaigning. She asked who we wanted Eric to vote for. I don't think he will even be told until the live show. Am I wrong? I felt like it was worded differently.

Tanith - she said he'd try to influence the votes so he'll know earlier

Jimmer, Allison Grodner said on HC yesterday, that he has a contract with them, and if he doesn't make some attempt, no matter how little, that it breaks his contract and he loses the $$ he's won already. That is his incentive, even though the next two task won't raise his winnings.

I don't think Eric really has to try all that hard to convince the jury, but he does have to vote the way the AP vote goes. What brought up the answer from Alison was discussing what if that last vote had been for him to vote out Jessica instead of Jameka. Had he refused to vote out Jessica he would have lost all he had earned. So as long as he makes a suggestion to vote for whoever the AP vote went for and actually votes that way he is fine. We won't really see that much of the campaigning so we won't know. And interesting they said he should campaign when in the past they were told campaigning wasn't allowed lol.

When were they ever told there was no campaigning allowed? The whole jury debate time they all campaign for who they would like to win, and try to get the others to see their side.

During the questioning they can discuss it but at other times they have always said no campaigning was allowed.

They can talk about everything and anything they please in the Jury house, Lucymac, so I really am confused. Maybe you mean before there was such a thing as sequester?

I think that they are not supposed to talk votes until after questioning, but, from everything that has been reported, they always do. However, until they know the final 2, which they don't find out until right before questioning, they can't make any final decisions or agreements. After questioning, they are supposed to engage in a discussion about what they heard, and the pros and cons of each finalist, but are not supposed to agree on how to vote. Then the producers take the information and try to make it suspenseful through editing.

If they aren't supposed to campaign in sequester, then why did CBS just ask us who we want Eric to campaign for?? BTW - I wish someone would post a thread with the acutal questions when they occur. For some reason I thought it was supposed to be today?

Wow, that is pretty nasty. It's like a threat instead of a reward. BB is messed up.

Gina8642, questioning won't be on the feeds so there's no way to post the questions as they occur. Dick said questioning doesn't start until midnight BB time...SO it could be like 3 AM BB time before the feeds come back, and then we can only try to piece together what was asked by Dick and Dani's conversations.

till midnight??? They just don't want to give them any restful sleep, do they??? BB is mean. They are already speculating on all sorts of questions, if they don't hurry up it will be the same topic all night long...

When I first heard that the questioning would begin at midnight... I thought Yay.. we'll be able to watch it on Showtoo. But no... it's midnight bb time. How lame is that? But the bigger question is how does Allison expect Showtime to pick this up again next season if they block out all the good stuff... especially now when the feeds are so boring. Makes no sense to me at all.
