Lurk, America may have given Eric good choices but having those "mystery" votes for two weeks in a row made people suspicious. Then Eric panicked cuz he was thrown off his game. I think this AP thing was a good idea but poorly thought out. Has CBS posted the rules that Eric should be following anywhere on their website? Do we really know that he is/is not following the rules? BB didn't think this through before they ran with it.

Keeping Nick would have helped Dick and Dani's game only, IMO.

Last night (and many nights)on BBAD, I kept telling Jess to run away from Eric; he sits her down for hours all the time and blows so much smoke up her behind. I can't wait till all the "friends" find out what he has been doing and how much money he made. But of course he will spin it around and around and blow more smoke. Dani told Jess not to tell, and Kail tells Dani that people told her about putting Eric up and Dani is (I think) blowing that off, cause she "wants to create a stir". Awk!

It was Dustin and Amber's idea to backdoor Nick The only people who know that are the two of them and us. Therefore if he had waited until he got the results from America's vote, he would have known that Nick was not our target. Nick was their target.

I think CBS flew the banner about Eric being a liar. They are tired of the AP and would not be sad to see him go. They tried, now time to end it.

Does Kail not realize that it is not up to Dani whether she stays or goes...and also why has Kail not caught onto the fact that Dustin keeps telling her Im sorry you are going, which means he is basically telling her he isnt voting for her...why hasnt she asked him if at least he will vote for her? I dont get it

Eric wasn't even very smart about the mystery votes. He should have suggested that he or another person give the outgoing person a "sympathy" vote so as not to look so evil...and he could have thrown himself under the bus in order to look better to America. But instead he gets all high and mighty about how virtuous and honest he is and just keeps lying about it.

Internet fans knew that Nick was going to be a target and that nobody wants to vote against the majority,but AC was still for Kail to go so who betrayed who.

I've thought about that too Maris. We know that CBS has never been a fan of us playing along. I personally think they were trying to appease us with a half hearted attempt, so they could say it failed, we won't do this again.

Cap, if Nick was there, D/D wouldn't have felt they were being used to vote out everyone who supported them by their own alliance (which is the truth, that was their plan). Had this not dawned on D/D, had they not seen their alliance working against them and setting them up, then the LNC would be going along with the plan to get the other side of the house out, and folks wouldn't be questioning Eric's loyalties. It would be going along in the same boring way it was before, and that would very much have been to Eric's advantage IMHO

Caprica all well and good but for those of us without feeds and who cannot stand Eric and the concept of AP and studiously avoid those threads it is a royal pain in the ass to have to read about him anyway. See it's gotten so bad that even I have now posted about it. Please pass me some hot pokers.

a hired mole with no agenda would have been a better pick. eric was pulled in 2 directions - HIS agenda and America's agenda - I don't really care which direction he went - I don't take it as a personal insult - in the grand scheme of things all BB, I don't think it's that big of a deal - what's done is done - BB didn't plan this very well - if anything, it's BB we should be angry at.

Eric works on commission. If he does not make the sale he does not get paid ,he does not get fired. Most Full commission jobs are a little more involved than that. Yes you only get paid when you make a sale, but if you are not closing leads that someone else could be closing, you will be fired. I think at this point Eric is not closing a lot of easy leads, and his employment should be reviewed. Honestly, I have given up on the AP game in its current incarnation. I am just focusing on the regular game, as the AP game is out the window and Eric is abusing it.

Right, EM...we know that so, again, I don't understand why people are taking it out on Eric. He wasn't the only one responsible for Nick's eviction. I really don't blame Eric for attempting to get America to see why Nick was the better choice for his game purpose. It was, IMO.

Geri, missed your post. I agree those 'mystery votes' have been at the heart of the problems too. BUT think about how they became such an issue. To cover his butt, Eric frantically ran around throwing the blame on innocent HG's each week. In doing so he told huge theories of who he thought did it, and got everyone suspicious of others, and ironically it was mostly against folks he didn't like. Imagine that. BUT had Eric not made such a fuss about 'who is the mystery vote'? and got everyone up in arms, and just said, "hey who cares so someone is giving pity votes let's not worry about it" then I think it would have quickly blown over. But he decided to use those votes as gameplay against folks he didn't like (and who he KNEW was innocent). That's been a large part of his gameplay that has really annoyed me.
