I have been to other boards today and I'm getting the feeling that the reason some people are hating on Eric is because he helped break up the Showmance between Dani and Nick.I honestly thought that it was the Dick fans that were mad but it's starting to look like the Showmance fans sent the banner for revenge.

whats amazing to me is Dani told Amber last night that Eric told Dani that he would use things that he knew about Amber against her later on...And what did Amber do???? She went right downstairs and told ERIC one of the most personal private things, something you just dont talk about to anybody!

It will be in spite of the disadvantages that he faced being America's Player. ~~~ Jimmer

We know that now, but the other HGs could make different arguments I'm certain.

Caprica, I don't buy that those are the only info fed to Eric in the DR.

For the record, I have zero interest in Showmance. Janie & Will were much better at it and I didn't even cared for that ^%$*mance!(Not swearing, just don't know what to call it.)

Also, by posting Eric's brother's thought, in no way showing that I agree with him. I don't think that's an official BB statement, nor is it Eric's understanding. ~~ According to SenorX the big brother of Eric, they(E's f & f) had no idea Eric was going to be on as AP. I debated with him, since I believe E knew about his task before he went in to BBHouse. I gathered that from Julie C's wording in the first show. But SenorX seemed to be bent on denying that, even when I gave the possibility that E could have hidden that from his f & f...

Anyhow, by posting SenorX's words, I'm simply providing another "theory". Because without coming from the BB/CBS, every thought or "understanding" is just that, theory!

BB/CBS is the culprit here. The rule for AP and the intention or whatever needs to be spelled out some where by now.

Alas, we are just over enthused Internet fans. BB/CBS is probably celebrating all these "noise" about their Summer time-filling low budget show. They are loving every silly Nickele sites and all the rage about poor Danie. They are in the win-win if AP gets booted this week or next. AP couldn't even yank a single $10,000 reward from BB! (I believe the deal might be that, E gets 10K if and only if five tasks were completed. Four "well-dones" gets poor AP NOTHING! I guess I'm feeling sorry for Eric, then.

Jimmer, I totally agree. The AP thing has been a total handicap for Eric. He's a smart player.

Milosmom, usually I would agree with you. But for some reason in this case, I'm finding myself thinking that Amber should know better, and should know that whatever information she puts out there is fair game, as anything she says is definitely going out on the internet, potentially to be shown on national t.v., or might be used against her in the house.
On the other hand, I feel a great deal of pity for that girl, she really needs to go home for her own well-being...

Eric's fighting for his life in the house, a guys gotta do what a guys gotta do, I guess.

I don't believe for one second that Eric was forced into anything. I think being the AP was the sole reason he was put in that house.

Here's why I don't care if he loses:

He was put in that house to work for us. Not once have I read or heard that we were working to help him farther himself in this game so he could win the grand prize.

He can't expect nor can BB that we will all like this guy enough to help him win. I don't like this guy and hope he doesn't win, so what do I have to lose by letting him get kicked out? He played against us this time and too bad so sad he got caught. America obviously had it's voice only using a banner instead.

Three days ago I was willing to help him along, but after what he said last night talking to Jessica there is NO WAY..I don't like Amber I think she is beyond normal to have told a total stranger that kind of information but to repeat it on national television was the most vile thing I've heard in all seasons combined.

Amber may very well have been telling a great big whopper to Eric to see if he would repeat it and help the others see he's a liar. I am really hoping that is the truth and they vote him out, have a double eviction and toss Dustin into the skid mark Eric left on departure.

Earthmother I so totally agree with you! I thought Eric in the beginning was fun to watch and I liked him, but as time goes by he is getting to big headed in his Own importance IMOP and to repeat something like that was just wrong. His I have to be the only hot guy in the house OH My Give me a break.

If Amber was smart (anything is possible) she would have already told Jam what she was going to do and in front of Eric she would say "Did Eric tell you anything about me? I told him a bunch of crap to see if he would repeat it."

America is a burden to Eric's game. But it sure makes it interesting. I agree that Eric is not lying about the votes. He does not vote.....THAT IS AMERICA VOTING.

Julie has told us that calling Eric to the DR to vote on Thursdays was a mere "formality" because America has already cast that vote.

When Eric says "I did not vote for Kail", he isn't lying. Eric didn't vote for Kail. America did.

How many people just wanted Kail to go due to disliking her and how many people just wanted to save Nick?

I think you need another category Caprica for people who wanted Nick to go.

Eric is playing for Eric and people are acting offended by this. ITA that being AP is a huge handicap to his game. I sure wouldn't make a move that could potentially lose me $500,000 no matter what America told me.

Eric chose to play AP. He has to accept the rules he was given and accept the consequences of the game. No crying in Big Brother. (Well Amber lol) There were others in pre-sequester to take his place if he did not want to play the AP. He signed the agreement and he needs to deal with it. Eric quit whining.

Don't forget... Eric can also extrapolate information from the way "America" votes. He found it interesting that America disliked Jen enough to want her nominated. He virtually did a happy dance when he found that out. So he's learning what America thinks but isn't doing anything about it.

If "Eric is playing for Eric" then how does that make him "America's Player" and "representing" me "in the Big Brother House"? Cause either Eric is Eric's player or he is America's Player.

And yeah, there is no way he'd be in that house if he'd declined this position.

As far Eric not lying about those two votes, well, sorry, but that's really semantics. Yeah, he didn't really cast HIS OWN VOTE, but his vote is America's vote. So he did cast the vote for Kail.

IMO Eric didn't vote for Kail. America voted for Kail. Eric sat there. He would have voted for Nick if he could. It was not Eric's vote.

I don't think Eric can learn a thing from what America wants, especially given that a large proportion of the voters don't have Eric's interests at heart. Also a large proportion of voters are voting for emotional reasons. So it doesn't mean anything from a strategic standpoint.

How can you say that? Most likely, a very large percentage of the voters are TV watchers only. How do you know how you'd have voted if you saw only the TV show? Not even BBAD, since voting is over before that show begins.

You can't. You can't say that "a larger proportion of voters are voting for emotional reasons". You don't know that for a fact.

Actually, since most human behavior is driven by emotion (rather than logic), it seems like a pretty fair assumption. :-)

At any rate, people don't have to post only facts here. Most of what is posted here is opinion, and probably none of us want to have to qualify that in each and every post we make.

What Eric said about Amber last night, whether it is true or not, has now made me unable to stand the sound of his voice. I hope he goes soon, if not this week, then soon after. And I hope after the show, that Amber beats the crap out of him.

If only he had waited for America's pick... he wouldn't be in this mess.
