Thanks, Denecee. ZM, I think you are taking it too personally. I, for instance, am not trying to ruin YOUR fun but I have just as much right as you do to have an opinion about the AP and vote in a way that reflects my opinion.

Zmom, I don't think anyone is trying to ruin it for anyone. I guess the other side of it is, why would those in favor of keeping AP, want to ruin the enjoyment of BB, for those that don't like Eric, by keeping him in the house?

i have never voted at all for anything this season. i love seeing Eric squirm and don't feel he is doing what those that did vote for him to do.

I don't want the AP gone, but if he goes because he chose to play his own game then perhaps he should, just like any other hg who makes a move that could hurt them. Eric underestimated America. He thought he could get what he wanted and use the info on those little cards as hints to what is going on in the game and chose to use them at his disgression. That's okay I guess unless it backfires in your face. How can we help him now, and personally why would we want to. If he manages to get out of this mess and truly work with the majority of votes from America, fine, but if not why would I take the hint from him who he wants to vote out and they vote for him to do it if I don't agree with it. I think that is really a shady way to give him first place.

I think the main reason I don't like the AP is because to me it seems false power, a way to keep fans engaged while giving them very little and a very limited say in what happens. It reminds me of the American Idol voting, where it just so happens that many of the winners have come from the South. Turns out Cingular, the main carrier for text messaging your vote, is based in the South, and thus the South had the most voting power. I just think that the votes will always be skewed one way or another. Then again I've lost my belief in the power of voting in the last 6 1/2 years--I wonder why? But those of you who want to participate in the AP any way you choose, go for it!

ZM: quote:anyway, why are people trying to ruin the fun for us who are enjoying the ap?
Probably because I've answered it in to other threads already today? Who's to say you are not ruining the fun for ME? I may not like Eric and I may think he's playing a lousy game as America's Player, but that doesn't mean I'm not having fun. Of course, apparently, because I'm not doing what I'm told here (for example, I can't count how often I was told to vote for Jessica last night), I'm ruining it for some of you. Sorry, but I think exactly the opposite. Giving Eric a task to complete by voting for someone with whom he's already said he wants to go to the end with isn't fun for me.

I think that if you are having fun getting Eric to do lame things that hurt his game then go for it and if it's fun for you to try to help him then go for that but demanding that CBS pull him from the show for trying to win ...COME ON.

I think Eric ruined his own game.. had he only waited for America's pick to get Kail out he would be the most adored houseguest by now. Instead he thwarted America's wishes for his own obsession to get rid of Nick, so what, the guy was handsome, why be obsessed to get him out of the house, his jealousy was too ridiculous and got him in trouble. That's that.

I totally agree Costa. What is the point of voting for something that has already happened (or is going to happen naturally)?
