I just want to add that I totally agree with everything that Lurk and Marksman pointed out about Eric. (I've been on the same page with Lurk on just about everything so far this season). But I also want to add that in the 8 years I've been here at TVCH, that Sanfran has always been one of my most favorite posters here. Thanks for handling this disagreement with such grace and showing us all what a gentleman you are. Even when I completely disagree with you this season. LOL! I really mean it... thank you.

SanFran - I agree with what Carmil said. How do you do it? Do you give lessons? ;)

But remember... Eric wanted Nick out cause Eric wanted to be the only "stud in the house." Not that *I* think he is even remotely studly.

As Karuuna said LOTS of posts ago, the premise of Big Brother is that manipulation is the INTENT of the game vis a vis the producers. Though she probably said it better! I accept that this is entertainment. When it ceases to entertain me, I will stop watching. SFJF, I always love your posts, and I agree wholeheartedly with your position here. I clearly see that we cannot have input through an evicted player -

Just let Eric play his own game and don't reward him when he fails a task. The trying to get Kail evicted last time should not be rewarded since he failed that one for sure. I guess it's ultimately his decision whether or not to play for America. The only thing he has to do is vote our way. Just don't want to see him use that to blame others for the vote. That is wrong manipulation and unfair to the other houseguests who don't have his knowledge.

Eric doesn't get rewarded if he fails a task. He has to complete five tasks in order to earn $10K. He did not complete the task to evict Kail, so that one doesn't count. I think things would be easier if we actually knew what the rules were. And I definitely think Eric has his own agenda... to win the $500K. And he'd rather lose a task than lose the opp to win the big bucks. Which really, doesn't make him much of America's Player. All we really end up with is a vote to evict someone.

I'm not sure why being prepared to lose the occasional task in order to stay in the game makes Eric less of an America's Player. He can't very well be America's Player if he is eliminated. I think to a degree that the American public needs to trust Eric's input on this.

If you go to the Dick fan thread you will see all of the members of the "AP is breaking the law" badwagon are just Dick fans not lawyers.

Because the ONLY task Eric (apparently) has to perform is the final eviction vote. Which he really doesn't get a choice in. So, how is that playing for America? Why bother with the other two tasks if he's gonna pick 'n choose which one he wants to do? And sorry, but I don't trust anyone in the BB house. Period. Caprica, what is your point?

losing a task isn't the issue, it's his NOT TRYING thats the issue...flipping the vote would have actually made him SAFER in the house....he;s potentially on the block now cause he defied America's wish's didn't push for Kail, got a Banner sent out and people in the house saw it..

My point is that if Eric's defiance was helping Dick none of his fans would be demanding AP twist be done away with.

I disagree Caprica...Eric is doing what Eric wants to plain and simple. I am a Dani/Nick fan, Dick just comes with the package..Being a Dick fan has nothing to do with feeling he way I do towards Eric at this moment. He clearly chose NOT to do what America asked him to do last week...He so much as told us that! So yes my vote is to get him out and i guesss not have an AP anymore

ummm.. I am an ED fan and would definately be just as upset at Eric... If I spend MY time voting and he is SUPPOSE to do what the majority votes I exepct him to do it (He may not complete the task but he is SUPPOSE to work toward the goal), otherwise He is useless as AP....

Caprica, I post in the Dick fan club thread and I never once said that AP twist should be done away with. And I don't think any of us ever proclaimed to be lawyers.. just stating our individual opinions that Eric didn't do his his job as AP this past week.

how is that proving your point???If I was anyones fan I would feel the same way... I could just as easily say it is the Ed haters that think it is ok for AP to blow off America.. and you would be proving that point...

You fans of Eric approve of him calling Dick a child molester last night?

Dick calls Jen the C-word all the time.That word makes me sick and that is why I hate Dick.
