The TV viewers base their votes on the edits. They know who they like and who they hate and that is that. The Internet fans are the ones in the know and we should be controlling this thing but we are so split our votes don’t even matter. If WE could get together on this thing we could really affect this game.

From the beginning I suspected this split would happen, someone said... well, you can't have it both ways, CBS only takes "one" audience, be it tv or internet, when in fact here lies the 'crux of the matter' (my favorite sentence). Someone also mentioned the 'delay' with which the votes happen, in the house things move faster and the votes only reflect the mood of the audience at least 1 or 2 days before new developments take place in the house. So Eric is given a pick that could not possibly be logic to him (and not to me either). This is why I feared the AP would just screw things up for the hgs instead, like Nick for example, America wanted Kail but Eric didn't honor this wish. So, as someone else already said, we can't have it both ways, internet people may have the better pick because they are more savvy of what's going on minute by minute, and the tv audience picks may be to late in coming. I even suggested, let's try to keep some polls to see what the general internet viewers would pick as opposed to what Eric gets, I'm sure we would get two different majorities. This AP is just flawed, the only positive thing about this twist is that CBS convinced America that they're actually playing along.

I say Dustin..this is Kails counterpart and we should attempt to cut the head off the snake. Either way one of them is gone. This gives Dustin less wind in his sails. He is already suspect after blowing the POV last week, so it might work. The edit on his greed was great so the TV viewers may choose him.

If Eric is on the block this week with Kail she will go maybe that will make America happy and they can start using stategy when deciding who to vote out. America is supposed to be helping Eric not using him to help their favorite player.

We need to let him know that Dustin is not the upstanding guy he thinks he is. Dustin right now controls Amber and Kail. Amber is starting to have doubts and so she would be easy to convince. America has to get together if we want our say. Dustin is low in the polls so obviously there are not too many fans. On last week's show his greed made the hgs mad so if the television viewers are voting I think there might be some votes going to him. It would break up at least a 3 person voting block. Jameka is in this Amber/Eric and Jess now we have at least 4 votes. I think that Jameka and Jessica could convince Dick. All it would would take is a little friendliness from Jessica to convince Zach. That would be 6 votes. It's time to stir up this pot and have some fun.

Who said America is supposed to be helping Eric? I thought it was the other way around... Eric is helping America! And I don't know who I'm gonna vote for until I know who's on the block. I won't know that until after the POV ceremony next week.

The very first show Eric said this would be the first ever alliance of 10 million.That implies that we are supposed to be working with him not using him.

Actually he's supposed to be working with us, not the other way around. He's supposed to be our voice in the house and so far he has completely failed at that, especially this past week when he very easily could've turned the votes around to vote out Kail.

I started this thread so that we can discuss the voting so maybe we can make a difference. It just kills me that the TV viewers <55> are calling the shots.

I never voted for Kail to go so he did what I wanted.

I did try to do just that Caprica and it was ignored because discussions that should be in other threads are in here.

America is seeing the AC as a popularity contest, not strategy.

I think right now it's hard to say who we should vote for. For this week until POV is played we don't know ultimately who will be on the block. As far as who he should get nominated for next week, it's hard to say until we know who leaves this week and who gets HOH. While Dustin may seem like a good option, realistically if Amber gets HOH there is no way she is gonna nominate Dustin so to me that would just be wasted voting to tell Eric to try to get her to nominate Dustin.

OK, then... if WE got our act together and voted as a bloc, it STILL WOULD NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. We are the minority, plain and simple.

I'm not so sure Lucymac. Amber and Eric were both named on that banner and Amber is already starting to question Dustin's game. Even if she is HOH she would be easily swayed IMO.

Costa , That's like saying "I don't vote in National elections because I'm in the minority"..well if all the minority stuck together maybe we could become a majority. Everyone here posts on other sites and can spread the word.

"Who said America is supposed to be helping Eric? I thought it was the other way around... Eric is helping America!" I am with you. Eric should be doing our bidding first. What he wants second. That is his role in the house and the game. This idea that we should be helping Eric makes no sense. The fact that Eric is doing the exact opposite of what he is asked to do doesn't have anything to do with voting lag or split votes. Eric could have gotten rid of Kail last week easily. He chose instead to force out Nick by sheer force of will because he was intimidated by him. In hindsight Eric was a horrible choice for AP because he thinks he is smarter than he is.

OK, then. Explain to me why I should vote the way you want me to vote, and why you shouldn't vote the way I want you to?

BTW, EM. I vote in national elections, even though I know I am likely in the minority. But I vote for who I want to vote for, not because someone is telling me I should vote for someone.

The only thing that "America's Choice" or whatever you want to call it is doing is making Eric the odd man out, possibly making him a target, and making the other hamsters paranoid about "who voted that way?" It screwed Nick right out of the house because everyone thought Nick was still in an alliance. That wasn't fair to him--as much as he could swear it wasn't him, they thought he was lying. And internet folks have got to realize that there are three hours of uncensored, uninterrupted feed every night on Showtime Too. That's 9 pm to 12 midnight, and, I would imagine it's the time when a good deal of the "meetings" are taking place. And TV fans who are interested can dvr or tape it, then watch it later when they are more awake or can go back to see what they missed. It's alot easier to watch it on a widescreen tv than to watch it on the internet what with the buffering, timeouts, etc. And I'm really tired of this bs of "voting how the house votes". They inevitably will regret their votes and I don't see it taking them further in the game than maybe a week or two.
