I think he is playing for us and doing the very best he can to play for us, however as stated much better by other posters, we have to play for him as well. If we ask him to do something that is just going to put him in jeopardy then he should the right not to do what we ask.

Kale, ITA with your choice and reason for who to trust 100% With Dick you know where you stand. Plus those guys seem swarmy to me, and not the type I would trust. I'd be having a harder time with Zach, Jameka and a few others if I were in there, trying to figure out who I did or didn't trust.

So do we really know who Dani wants out this week - Jen or Eric? If Eric, Jen still has a chance to save herself - maybe. I think I'm repeating myself, but Jen could let Jessica know that Eric campaigned to get her nominated. And if Daniele really wants Eric gone, then you've got Dick, Zach, Kail and potentially Jessica. Jessica has lots of options as to whom she could align with.

America wanted a player in the game. Said player says please vote this person out. Many of us did, but the votes came in different. Said player now in hot water and others as well. Watch for America not to have a player next year. Obviously, BB didn't think this through. Sanjaya on AI should have given them a clue that many Americans don't want to go with the flow.

I really think Eric would act the same way even if he wasn't AP. I just don't like him and he gives me the creeps.

Eric is America`s player not the other way around. He should play the way we say. We should not vote the way he wants. Eric has done this to hisself. If he would have truely tried to keep Nick then the Banner would have never flown. The votes would never had looked funny. He screwed himself.

No AP next year - fine with me. Didn't have one this year because again.... he didn't do what we voted him to do regardless of the position it put him in.

She and her Dad want Eric out this week, Doublethink. At least if he goes, there will no longer be a debate on whether we should vote as he asks or what we personally want.

I don't see how they could do this AP twist again. Everyone would be on the lookout for odd behavior and long trips to the DR. They are already suspicious of how often Eric gets called in and the type of information he seems to get.

No, I don't think we "wanted a player in the game." Did you ever get asked about that? I didn't. What *I* wanted was a vote. A real vote. A real "call in and evict a HG" vote. Not someone like Eric, who also has his own agenda, and who may or may not do what "America wants."

I'm pretty sure a lot of people are so against Eric now because of his asking us to do what he wants, but it's also that he's not really with Dick. And if you're not with Dick, then whatever you say or do is wrong to a lot of people here.

Unless he votes with the majority, the vote doesn't count.

That's absolutely not true, Jen. Eric is playing his own game, and for that I don't trust him.

Dick has not proven he can be trusted. Dick has blatantly proven he will reveal your game outloud at any given moment. Dick has revealed he doesn't think things out carefully and can be easily played in the game. Dick would literally destory your alliance when he goes off on someone and the others start to retreat and conspie against him and his agressive nature for fear he would pull that on them. I would look at Dick as a sinking ship. Again, I'd be fully aware that to play with Dick means I'm playing with his daughter which means I'm working for them to take the entire amount of money. All these things would tell me to not get involved with his game. I'd use him like they have and then get him out the first chance I got.

Kid why do we have to play for him? I didn't hear Julie say that we should help him. His ROLE is so we, the fans, could have a voice and a HG doing exactly as we wanted. It wasn't a 2 way street ever. And if he didn't want to take that role, he shouldn't have. I am sure they didn't hold a gun to his head. I also don't think we can judge if the AP concept is a success or failure based on the way Eric is not doing the tasks as voted by the fans. He has changed it by choosing to ignore our wishes and play his own, so no way to know what we would have thought of someone really in there and playing it as it was set up. I still love the idea of just giving the fans one vote, and shaking up the house. This would help break up big alliances like we've seen the last few years and get folks nominated that wouldn't be up otherwise.

I don't remember signing a contract saying i would do what was best for Eric. We wanted impute into the game Who says we have to play to let AP win this thing? Is he going to share the winnings with any of us? I would like to see him on the jury so we have a vote there but since he decided we didn't know what we were doing if he went home this week i won' cry.

They are already suspicious of how often Eric gets called in and the type of information he seems to get. That's right, Tresbien. They are telling everyone as they exit the house. It won't work for a second year.
