I watched the video of it at Youtube. To me the funniest wasn't the sleepwalking but instead the conversations the next day as Joe asked Eric about it and was describing what this person had done. I was cracking up watching that!

I have to agree that Eric is being a good sport about this. It has to be tough not really being able to align with anyone since he never knows what direction we will send him in the next time lol.

Lucy, I think that's one reason I'm not totally hating the AP twist because Eric is being a good sport about it. He seems to enjoy the silly stuff (tell someone a sob story, climb in bed with someone) but doesn't seem resentful of the non silly stuff no matter how nuts it's been (push to get Jessica nominated) and does try to accomplish the tasks.

Did you notice that Nick is trying to plant the seeds to have Mrs R alliance nominate Eric and or Jessica if they win HOH this week?

I don't think it will work though.

Biginjapan...he is screwing with them...

You know Eric will never try to be HOH because he runs the risk of having America telling him to put up someone who the house, or his alliance (Jen) doesn't agree with..

The sad thing is if Eric were a more popular player, America would help him along...they would suggest players which are secretly against him...but since he doesn't garner much sympathy from the America, they will simply use him as a tool to Stir the pot or get a good laugh...there seems to be an inherent problem with America's Player twist

Bon you are right. Because he is not popular I don't think America is voting to help Eric along but i don't think they are intentionally voting to hurt him (well except for a small few).

They are voting their own thoughts on players. It could really hurt Eric's game on the more strategic votes (not the silly fun tasks).

Say Jen is Eric's closest ally. The majority of America would still probably vote for him to nominate her cause they don't like her. Not because they want to mess with Eric.

You guys all assume that the voters in this actually know what is oging on and would know who could help or hurt Eric.

The average voter is not watching this thing 24/7, reading live feeds or anything like that. They are the ones who see it only on the TV which means they are biased by BB because we all know how biased the TV shows are when BB wants them to be.

As for Eric being a good sport about all of this....

Doesn't he get $10,000 for completing each task? I'd be a good sport too if all I had to do was to climb into bed with someone for $10K one week, tell another person a sob story for $10K another week, vote against/for someone each week at $10K a vote.

He gets $10K for each five tasks completed (basically $2K/task). So he's yet to earn his first $10K.

And yeah, most of the voters are not those who watch the feeds, read the live feed posts, chat in discussion areas like this one, and so on. They watch the three hours of TV that BB feeds them and base their decisions on that.

I think you guys are spot on about the voters only watching the show on TV. Having him try to get Jessica nominated only proves that, as the show right before that vote was the eviction show with Carol and Jessica didn't come off very well after all those nasty things she said about Carol in the DR.

I actually really like Eric. He does have an annoying voice, but he is a really good sport about being AP and from what his family said, he has wanted to get on this show for a long time, yet he still took it in stride. I would like to see him go far.

we are torn in our house about how to play with Eric.

I want to help him and vote for things that I think will get him further in the game.

My husband, on the other, wants to vote for things he thinks will be difficult or funny.

So we usually end up splitting our votes.

Ah no, we don't all assume that. Sure it's heavily skewed by the TV vote, although I know of numerous people that only watch the TV show and aren't bothering to vote. I've also seen plenty of people online who are trying to screw with him by the vote and get him evicted. So I'm not going to blame it all on the fact that it is only people who don't really know what is going on that are voting. Some are intentionally trying to mess with him by their votes.

So some of us are enjoying this. It seems though that some people don't want anyone to enjoy it.

Why even have Eric sleep walk? The producers are running out of gas in week 2.What's next having him try to have a showmance with Dustin or Joe?
Are 13 year old boys the target audience?

Not every task can (or should) be a difficult one.
Some, like the sleepwalking, was just for pure entertainment value, IMO.

It's not that he walked in his sleep that bothers me it's who the viewers voted for him to hop in bed with(Joe)that I find stupid.

I thought it was funny that he did the sleep walking thing at 9:23 am?

Not every task is gonna be a game play, either. There's gonna be at least one a week that will just be a throwaway.

maybe...I have a feeling this task might backfire (remember it only counts for him if he votes our way AND that person goes)...

Hmmmm...I'm in a quandary...Dick may put Eric up next week with Jessica if anyone in his alliance gets HOH. I don't think Joe will put Eric up.

I do think Joe is ridiculous but don't you guys think it's going to be harder to get rid of Evil down the line? Maybe Eric, Kail, Mike, Jessica, Jameka, and Dustin (only if he has a change of heart towards Joe) could oust ED. I think they need at least 6 votes to evict someone this week.

NOTE: ED has 3.4% of "love 'em or leave 'em" poll on CBS.com and Joe has 2.9%--Both pretty bad.
