Thanks, Bonbon. That's interesting! Can't believe Eric didn't read the contract well though. Unless he has a different one?

When I read that earlier, I was wondering if it really had anything to do with AP. The last few years we have been able to vote for final in case one of the jury members isn't able to cast their vote and there would be a tie. Keep wondering if that's what the contract is talking about.

Bonbonlover Member 07-13-2000 Wednesday, August 01, 2007 - 9:48 pm Jess and Jen just talking about maybe it will be final 3...number of votes etc... Jess: something about America voting... Jen: I bet America gets a vote now... Eric: can they do that. Jen: Yah it was in our contract... Eric: what? Jen: Yah it was in our contract Dustin:Wow I have to wonder if the finals are gonna have three in the house (reminiscent of recent survivor formats) which IF sequester starts when it should could lead to a tie in the final vote by houseguests which means WE would be the tie breaking vote. What do y'all think?

I wonder if the people who are pissed at Eric right now will target his girl Jess now?

I have heard so much negative talk about Eric being AP. Some say he shouldn't of accepted the position if he didn't really want to play for America. He did not have a choice. He is suppose to be a long tiome big brother fan. Applied on his own to be on the show. If he turned the producers down he would not of been picked for this show and he is smart enough to know this. What would the producers say. Well so sad you don't want to be AP but hey you can go in the house anyway. Just don't let anyone else know we asked you. He would then know someone else was the player. Let Eric play his game. He is also out to win the prize. If he chooses not to abide by America's wishes then he is out the 10,000. I really think he would prefer the 500,000.

I think I recall Julie or Allison G saying something at the onset of BB about AP. They said that if AP makes it to jury then we will help him cast his vote...

I think he's at a point where he thinks he might be able to win the whole thing. He probably has his sights set on the grand prize and not the paltry cash being AP can bring him... Plus the stipulations on tasks are almost impossible. I mean, not only does he have to get them nominated but they have to stay on the block past veto? That's almost impossible for him to control or even influence!

Eric's flaw in this is he wants to take Jess to F3 with him. I think Jess might be the only person who might be able to beat him in the end. He wants Jen as his third. I think Eric thinks it is a definite if he is up against Jen in the end. I believe it was Eric/Dustin/Ambur/Jam that said no one would vote for Jen or Kail if they made it to the end so who cares whether they stay or not. I heard Dick say that he would cause if they made it to F2 they they deserved his respect and vote for a game well played. However, I think that little comment just went over everyone's head cause they were all too full of themselves and not really listening to what he said. I also believe that as much of a bully or whatever Dick can be, that unless it was Dani up there with either Jen or Kail that he would most definitely do it and IMO would have no bones about voicing his opinion to other jury members. As much as I don't like Jen or Kail if they made to F2 I would think the same thing. When are HG ever going to learn not to just let people keeping sliding to F2 cause after all "they will be so easy to get out later". Sorry, guess I ranted more than I wanted and probably in the wrong thread.

Eric was saying how much he dislike Kail last night. Jessica said "me too" Amber was there too.

Eric tried to turn it around, saying he thinks "America" really hates Kail (so we know Kail was picked), but he didn't seem he had everyone's ear (maybe only Dick and Daniele)and Nick is the one going. However, I think Zach, Eric, Dick, Daniele will vote for Nick to stay and if Amber throws in her 'pity' vote, Nick stays and Eric gets another "mission accomplished".

But then how can Eric vote for Nick to stay? Doesn't he HAVE to vote Kail if Kail is AP? In fact, I think BB doesn't even let him vote, they just count it as the AP vote.

By voting for Kail, Eric is "voting" for Nick to stay.

I think Nick being gone is pretty much a done deal. Eirc was talking about hating Kail last night, but I think it was alame attempt. He pretty much knows switching at this point will jeopardize his game.

I don't think Eric has to vote for the person America wants evicted. If you listen closely during the CBS show, they word it something like this: "Pick the person Eric should get evicted." They don't specifically say "the person Eric must vote for."

Eric doesn't actually vote. He has no choice. They simply tell him who the public picked.

But Julie never asks for his vote. That is what gets me. It is like he has no choice.

It's not "like he has no choice." He HAS NO CHOICE. America's vote is Eric's vote. Plain and simple. It's why Julie fake asks Eric questions when he goes in for the live vote. He already knows who he's voting for, and Julie tells him America voted for him and X is the vote. And then says "So how YOU doin'" or whatever small talk she makes.

D'oh....Thanks Jimmer. I think I skipped the part about voting "to stay." I also get confused sometimes when the HG's talk about "you have my vote" and I'm not sure quite what they mean. lol}
