I don't know. BB loves having HG's that America loves to hate, so I don't know if they will change how they are currently portraying her.
What they need to do is show the TV viewers the real Amber. I still can't believe they didn't show her 4 hour date with Mike, and the topics she brought up, as well as her dumb questions - What are outskirts? What's a mile - like from here to the giraffe?
Not to mention how she embellishes a story every time she tells it.
She needs to go, I think she's very unstable, and will have a nervous breakdown if she's there much longer.
I never thought I'd say this, but stop picking on Jen, America!

Well, let's see what Eric reads in the envelope on Tuesday.. if it's Jen again (I'm afraid she won't win POV) I'll throw my hands in the air and give up.... but then I will also believe BB doesn't give a hoot if Jen goes... they still have Dick/Daniele soap opera for ratings...

Acording to the wiki page at the CBS BB site, Eric didn't get credit for nominating Jen. The excuse for not giving him credit for this task was that she won POV and took herself down. BB doesn't play fair with the rest of the game, guess I'm not surprised they are not playing fair with AP.

There are game show rules CBS must follow. I doubt that they are being dishonest about how we vote to Eric. If they did it would be a huge scandal.

But then again, mess with the results, suffer the scandal, replace the production staff and they might get more viewers.

Mummy - didn't mean to imply that they were manipulationg the results of the votes (although it wouldn't surprise me.)

What I think is unfair is how they decide to give Eric credit for completed tasks. All I remember on the Jen nomination task was voting on who Eric should get nominated. "America" voted Jen, Jen got nominated, but Eric didn't get credit. According to the CBS site, Jen had to remain nominated in order for him to get credit. She took herself off with the POV. It just seems a bit unfair to me, he has no control over the POV competition.

Actually, Big Brother is NOT considered a game show by the FCC. They do not have to play by game show rules. Big Brother and other reality tv is in the category with WWE Wrestling. It can be manipulated however they can get away with without alienating their audience.

Jen did not win the POV...Jameka did. The POV ceremony is not until Monday. It looks like Jameka will use the veto to save Jen, but as we all know, things change quickly in the BB house.

Eric should get credit for getting Jen nominated if that was the task. jen is nominated. And that's that!

I dont care I think Eric is doing a wonderful job, not to mention he makes me laugh every time he finishes a task. I really think they picked a great person to play America's Person. And remember Eric dont have a chance to pick his own choices and we have to put him in a awful position. I think the mustard and getting in bed with Joe was the best he has done so far. I hope Eric makes it to the end.

Ladytex, Gasp, I didn't know BB or other reality shows were not under the game show rules. I don't think I like this. So much for looking on the sunny side. I don't watch wrestling, but for some reason I was going to it Friday night during commercials. Can we get the short person wrestler on BB? LOL

Double I agree with you too. CBS needs to stick with the exact question WE are asked. I have noticed differecies between what we are asked and how Eric reads the challenge. How the challenge is phrased does change things.

The actual votes should matter...........regarless of where the rules come from.

Twocents and Doublethink- I think he got credit because there is one task to "get nominated" and one task to "send packing" I think the first week though the task was just to "vote for Carol"- but I could be wrong. I did not see anything official on CBS.

Ok all - I was talking about task 6 at top of this page. According to the CBS Wiki page, he did not get credit for task 6. I feel a bit bad for him since he has no control over POV comps.

There was some talk in the Current Happenings thread that Eric outed himself regarding his part in Mustardgate. What's the scoop? Any details?

He played another shoot the beer game last night with Jessica. We all know she can drink any of those guys under the table. The other ususal suspects who play are all on slop so each time Jessica and Eric had to drink all the beer. I'd say about 8 cans in Eric became the "mouth that roared." They started playing a game about which hg would do what giving different scenerios and when asked a question about the shirt, he gave it up. I think he also gave up the sleepwalking thing, or one of the other tasks...Americas next order should be "KEEP AWAY FROM THE LIQUOR"..

but it was in context to what was happening. They were talking about the pranks in the house too.

it wasnt like Eric just drunkenly blurted it out. LOL

However, it was done with Jess and dustin in room and kail/jen were hearing some stuff from the bedroom next door.

no no no no rgw825! i want them to stay how they are and let things happen naturally. plus jessica (imo) won't go for a showmance, she's too smart to jeopardize her game.

no one. i think it's dumb task to vote for a showmance. what if someone really liked and believed eric but eric didn't feel the same and was only doing it for the money. it's not nice to play with peoples emotions like that.
