He's stirring the pot so that Du/A/J will vote for him to stay when D/D throw him up on the block if POV is used. They need to have a reason to keep him since Eric would have a hard time arguing that he's less of a threat than Kail (or Jen). I'd crack up if the AP nomination was for Dick. Is everyone going to stamp their feet and cry that Eric didn't try hard enough to get Dani to nominate her own father?

Carrie, D/D's plan was to put up Kail and Jen then have someone take Jen down with POV and put Eric up. Dani has figured out he was the source of those two votes (after seeing the banner) and they don't trust him and I think they think he's in an alliance with Kail. They told Jessica about the plan and asked her to keep it quiet. Of course she went straight to Eric and told him about it. I'm not sure how or when Dustin's name came up, but for a while Eric was telling them it was going to be him or Dustin going up. The rest of the LNC was under the impression, I guess, that Zach would be a replacement nom if needed and didn't know anything about the D/D plan to backdoor Eric. Then Eric, and later, Jessica told Amber, Dustin, and Jameka about the plan. He was working it hard, turning them against D/D so that if he did end up being nominated D/D wouldn't have the votes to evict him and I think even trying to work it so that if Jameka or Amber wins POV they won't use it thinking they'll be getting Zach put up. I may be off on some of this since I didn't watch much of the feeds yesterday, but if I am someone will fill in the blanks and correct any mistakes I made.

If Dick was Ac to be nominated are people going to be beating their chests about Eric not trying to get Dani to put up her own father?After ED edit on thursdays show I would be suprised if America didn't vote for Dick as AC for nomination.

Ah cool, thanks Caprica! Wasn't sure if I was missing some points or mixing them up. I told hubby last night it wouldn't surprise me if Dick was the AC for nomination and that if I were Eric, I'd flat out refuse to even try to complete that task. Not only would it be setting him up for failure (Dani would never put Dick up, at least not right now!) but it'd be painting a huge target on his back for no reason. That's why I think he should have some leeway to decide how hard he works for something America wants. At some point, America will vote for something that will not only be impossible, but will put him in danger of being the next big target.

The truly interesting part of this for me is the mindset of those who have the feeds who voted for Kail to go. I understand the votes cast of majority that don't have the feeds and don't see message boards, either not understanding the game enough because of the limited information they have or making it a popularity contest. I don't understand the people who see the feeds and understand that it was better game move for Eric to have Nick go who used their vote in a selfish way or in a popularity contest way. The good news for those who think Eric screwed them over is that they will get their wish and they will lose the AP soon. There are just not enough people who are working to keep Eric in the house and too many who either don't care or want him out. Unfortunate, IMO. The twist will actually come off as a success to BB because they have stated for many years that their concern with America having a vote would result in a popularity contest rather than good game play.

Frustrating not seeing who Eric is supposed to target until the night of the show. We can guess, but we never know for sure until then. Can't they post it on CBS or something so we can watch how it plays out?

That's why they abandoned BB1. America had all the votes. They still have the votes in the UK but they seem to have a really good interesting show over there. Maybe American BB should take some notes.

I think Eric planted the seed that IF the POV was used, he or DUSTIN would go up, hoping it would keep any LNC member from using it, for fear they'd lose Dustin... anyone know why Jen (during their pillow-talk last night) told Kail that Dani was going to back-door Dick?!

Thanks for answering my earlier question. In other threads they were making it sound like Eric was some sort of vile person for doing this. Sheesh, some people take this show way too seriously.

Was catching on stuff I missed yesterday while offline and this is the first I have heard of this. Did someone maybe catch it on live feed video, cause I didn't see it in our video section and I am no good at searching youtube. Thanks!

Eric's 10 million alliance members have sold him out in favor of a boring showmance.

Thursday's edit of dick's was not as bad as dick's actions. He got off easy (as has been the case all season). If he did get America's vote then Eric obviously did not try to do America's bidding. AP is such an asinine role.

BB should have forseen the vote problem and not given the actual count to the house guests.Julie would have said "By a majority you have been evicted (fill in the blank)."

Alliet...IF Dick got the vote, then how could Eric campaign when Daniele had HOH...it would only have created only MORE problems for Eric. Caprica...I don't see that happening. In all the years I have been watching BB, near as I can remember, they have always given the count.

I'm also wondering if BB is going to let the cat out of the bag this week and if they do will they tell that it is Eric.Eric should have a chance to play the game on his own without America throwing him under the bus.

I don't think BB will do that...not till at least a week for Sequester. They promised us that IF Eric makes it to Sequester then we, America, would have a say in who wins the big money for BB8...if they tell this week, then they will be throwing both America and Eric under the bus. I just don't see BB doing that...yet!

I don't see BB telling about AP as long as Eric is in the game, but I could seem them changing some of what he has to do. I would expect tonight's task to be something that would not cause him any harm, like mustardgate. They don't want him out and aren't going to put him at further risk. It will probably be something pretty stupid that they will try to see as funny. If anything changes I could see them letting his vote go with the majority if it is a clear cut vote in the future, so that he isn't put at risk for an odd vote again since he is already suspect. This last week it wouldn't have changed the outcome if his vote went for Nick instead and wouldn't have put him in the danger he is in this week. BB sure doesn't want him to leave before sequester.

BB invents this twist and then does everything possible to OUT him.I don't think they really want America to have a vote on the jury.

I doubt BB wants AP out or outted. The voting gives their marketing department valuable information. In most cases they probably don't even care what the votes are just the numbers. The funny part of that is when people vote "against" AP they are really just voting against themselves and helping BB. I hope Eric stays in because he is my player and I think he is doing as well as can be expected considering the "help" he is getting and because of the added entertainment both in the feeds and on these boards.

BB might have been a little shortsighted over the affect of the AP votes, but they have done nothing that suggests they want to get rid of AP, quite the opposite. Eric was doing very well, considering, until the banner, the banner was the problem. I think Eric got ahead of himself in promoting Nick to go so strongly but he's under a lot of pressure. I think the poll result not being what he wanted has set him back on track and he'd have been fine if it wasn't been for that banner. Poor guy, I expect to see him start the uncontrollable twitching soon.
