Rbk10 there is no America's Choice.....there is only America's Player who is Eric. BB has not said that there will be an America's Choice, and I know last year they brought that in because Janelle was so popular.

oh lol RBK,,,,we don't know, yet, BB will have probably told him last night after the Jury did their questions of D/D. But we won't know until Tuesday when they do the finale. :-)

well, the jury was brutal with Dani and much easier on ED, so perhaps ED was the choice?
but i think its dani.. Misdirection?

Since Eric had to vote for Dick and Dick won, does that mean that Erics final earnings are $50,000.00?

I WAS DISAPPOINTED THEY DIDN'T TELL EVERYONE ABOUT ERIC'S PRIZE MONEY.... ESPECIALLY SINCE IT ALMOST EQUALED DANIELLE'S WINNINGS. I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE SEEN THE REACTIONS MORE.

Oh, I'm sure they know now. The first 5 evicted knew and they would fill them in pretty quickly. But, why else would he agree to play for America? Logically, it makes sense he has to get some sort of incentive to do the dirty work.

I'm wondering what the other hg will think when they finally figure out that the only thing that Eric couldn't control was his vote. He didn't have to convince the others to vote the way AP choice was.
And I hope Jen realizes that Eric came up with the whole mustard thing, we only voted for him to pull the prank on her. Maybe somebody in the dr helped him come up with what to do but we didn't get to vote on what he should do.

No, he did not HAVE to convince the others to vote the way AP choice was. He could have just decided to cut his own throat in the game and call it a day.

He has been critized because he "did it for the money." Excuse me? I thought that was what they were there for. Look at what Dick did "for the money."

But aside from the AP money, if Eric wanted to stay in the house, and have a chance to progress in the game, he had to cover up his "hinky vote." It had gotten him in trouble twice before. If he had not gotten the others to go along with him, his vote would have stood out like a sore thumb. Do you really think he would have survived a third time?

He had to make a choice to either work for AP choice or essentially throw in the towel. He took a lot of critism from Dick and Dani fans when he was not going along with AP, but when he did, then he was just being greedy.

Was Dick the only one who was allowed to do whatever it took to stay in the game?

Eric had a contractual obligation with BB and when he was given a name to nominate, he did have to campaign with the other hgs to put that person up. I assume to what extent he campaigned was his perogative, but he did have to make some effort. If everyone recalls, that one week when America blew a gasket because he wanted to vote Nick out instead of Kail, should be a clear indicator that Eric got the message from America in essence demanding that he do what he was told.
He also said in his interview that he had no choice in being AP, unless he didn't want to participate at all in being a HG.

Eric had to "make an effort to complete" every task. If the targeted person wasn't evicted, Eric didn't get any money. But he would NOT have survived a third hinky vote, especially not with Amber going off on him and him being on the block. The fact that he was AP and the DR so obviously planted seeds (if not fertilizer) in the HGs minds about keeping him also saved his butt. After America targeted Jessica for the silent treatment was when Eric started really trying to accomplish his tasks. Until that point, Eric was doing a lot of nose thumbing at America. After that point, he realized that America was going to get him evicted sooner than later.

I also think if America wasn't gonna have a vote in the final jury, he would've been gone before then.

And he did have a choice. He chose to be AP so he could go into the house for BB8.

Ketchup roflmao, I am not aware that he has, but then he's probably too busy hyperventilating over Julie Chen telling him last night that it wasn't Dick's master plan that kept him there, but rather that Eric had to work his butt off that week. I really loved that she gave the credit to Eric.

I wouldn't necessarily say the right person won. I mean... many people just didn't vote for the final two because they didn't care for either.... just sayin'

Dick said "thank you" to America this morning, either on House Calls or the long internet portion of the CBS Julie Chen interview. My mind is mixing them up right now, but he did say it.

Ok, this is a weird scenario, and may be somewhat off-topic for this thread (didn't know where else to put it).

Eric's AP assignment for the catch phrase "I'd do that for a dollar." Notice how McDonald's (a sponsor) is now using that in some of their ads? How silly it would have been if we chose "Boohyahka" or "Sweet Chicken" and McDonald's had to incorporate that into their ad? Is KFC a sponsor too and maybe on "high alert" to promote BB too just in case?

Ok, just a weird thought (cuz I'm bored.)

Well don't bite my head off, I was just saying that Eric also was doing what he felt he had to do to stay in the game and to earn more dollars.

Mostly, I liked Eric and thought he did a great job. I didn't want him to win but I am happy he earned some big bucks.

Costa, of course you are right again. Eric would have been gone very early if not for the AP. I think the Donatos would have reigned supreme as they ended up doing regardless. Dustin was not that well liked at the time either.

Actually we don't know that Eric would have been gone early if not for the AP. If not for AP, he wouldn't have made the odd votes, or been responsible for mustardgate and chances are there would have been no banner. It's very possible if he weren't AP he wouldn't even have been nominated then. There is no way of knowing what would have happened.

Lucymac...we could ask What555 cause he ACCURATELY predicted this outcome long ago. Along with the theme, as demonstrated by what the questions from Julie has been..all about the sweet father/daughter reunion.

Exactly Lucymac. If there weren't wonky votes, none of the backdooring would have occured with Eric.

And it doesn't matter if Dustin was well liked by the public. They all wanted Dick out except for Zach and Dani.

Eric's incest comment didn't actually start the whole incest issue with Dick. Actually Dick played off of something Nick said way in the beginning of the game. So the friends who told Dick were targeting the wrong person in this case. Granted, Eric should never had said what he said. I hope Dick gets a chance to see this.

I watched the video but don't really get any connection of consequence to in any way bring Eric to make the incest remarks. Whatever prompted it I think it's time to put it aside and add it to the huge pile of rediculas thinks that people have said and done while in the house. I don't believe it is a true representation of what kind of people they are in real life. I am including all of them even Amber who seems to be getting the worst of it. Just consider the source and the desperate feelings that produced all of the "garbage" that spewed forth.
