I wonder if people think he doesn't count in that survey, Scotchbright. Are they thinking BB won't care where he is in the survey?

Amber and Dustin are followers, so that's 3 votes..with Eric's. He already sort of ran the Kail going scenario by Jess last night and she said, "Un huh," so he would only have to get one more vote. I think Zach or Nick might help him out, lol.

He told Jess he'd have to switch up his vote if he ever heard one little thing about Kail putting him or Jess on the block. Heh, heh..laying the groundwork. All he has to do is let each person he wants to vote his way think Kail might be gunning for them.

One thing I've noticed is that some people feel that they can signal Eric in some way by who they choose with America's Choice. Eric has also tried analyzing why America picks certain players as targets. However, people have so many different reasons for their choices that this is next to impossible.

I don't know, Cricket.
I'm always surprised how polls can reflect so favorably for some and not others. For instance, up until last nights episode, Jameka hadn't really been seen or heard on the tv show in any real capicity (except a few DR's) - and her approval rating is the highest on cbs.com. I guess the average tv viewer/cbs.com poll taker LIKES a player who is unseen and unheard. I suppose you could take that to mean being seen as an UN-instigator or a person who is not a shaker/player (so far) is a GOOD thing in the eyes of the average tv viewer (non feed watcher).

I think that is why on the original season of BB where America voted out contestants, many of the more outspoken players were voted out early.

True.

I guess it's still always best to go by the by old saying "It's better to be seen, and not heard" - or in this case, not seen OR heard...lol

The wheel is in motion... it seems that Eric started campaigning against Kail.

This is so funny, because it will confuse everybody and Dick will start wondering about Eric... (at least I hope so).

I'd like to see some uproar... or it may get too boring to see everyone doing what Dick dictates.

If the results are that Kail is Americas target I am a pleased voter and happy with Americas choice :-)

It will be fun to see if Eric can pull this one off. A bit more of a challenge and makes it exciting. Well I can hope for it being exciting can't I? LOL

Good luck Eric!!

I wish Eric good luck too. I am ready for Kail to leave and I hope he can pull it off! I'm very happy the choice was Kail. I just think Eric may be able to do this!

How is Eric doing on his latest task? Has he convinced anyone to vote out Kail yet?

Eric thought we picked Jen for prank cuz we hate her...I picked her cuz I thought she would be the only one that would take the prank without getting too pissed

so I agree, there is no real way for Eric to know why we vote the way we do

Eric did an awesome job trying and didn't seem to become a target in the process. Woot!

I think the man deserves credit for the attempt. He did awesome. I totally got my 30 bucks worth watching him give it a try. He may have failed but he also came very close and when you think about how the odds were against it thats pretty damn good. Although it was not his goal he was also able to expose a splinter in this game with Dustin, Amber, and Jameka. I liked that.

Okay, Eric probably didn't change the course of the game THIS time. But I have to say that it irks me that our vote can change someone's future the next time. Some of these people tried out for BB for years in the hopes of getting a legit chance at the $500K and now this "twist" can completely derail their game as well as Eric's.

I know they sign away all rights before they enter but still.... I'm just sayin' that it's beginning to leave a bad taste in my mouth. Anyone else?

Eric gets high marks for a valiant try yesterday but there is still today, right?

I actually like the AP twist mostly because of who they picked for that position. He's articulate, knows the game and is taking this job very seriously.

I don't think there is any reason to feel AP is unfair to the others. BB has always had "twists" and this is just another one. So far I don't think it's impacted negatively onto Eric and NO ONE, not even the great RD has a clue. His name (as far as I know) was never even brought up as the mustard maniac.

My only issue is that as per usual BB isn't very creative with how they are using the AP.

Does Eric seem to have a crush on Jess? And could that be a major stumbling block for him?

I getcha, Lil. I guess, though, I've never had to feel personally responsible for a twist before. Except when I voted for phone calls or trampolines.

As for Jess, I kind of think BOTH Eric & ED have a crush on her. She may end up being pulled from both directions. Oh, and remember that Zach asked her out on a date in the early days. Who's left? Nick, I guess. She's got lots of magnetism!

That's a great idea Lainee. If someone makes a list we can put it at the top of the thread.

Thursday July 5th......couldn't find one, just his intro as America's Player

Sunday July 8th...Who should Eric pour his heart out to---America voted Kail...Completed

Tuesday July 10th...Pick who Eric should vote out---America voted Carol...Completed

Thursday July 12th...Who should Eric try to get nommed---America voted Jessica...Failed

Sunday July 15th...Eric sleepwalking and whose bed should he crawl into---America voted Joe...Fail

Tuesday July 17th...Who should Eric get evicted---America voted Joe...Completed

Thursday July 19th...Who should Eric try to get nommed---America voted Jen...Completed

Sunday July 22nd...Whose stuff should Eric vandalize---America voted Jen...Completed

Tuesday July 24th...Who should Eric target for eviction---America voted Kail...

And so this will be another "Fail" with Kail staying.

Disappointed, Eric should have done a better job, I even read that he was 'voting Kail to stay', how can he even vote as he wishes, shouldn't he vote the way we want? He still would get a failing grade because Kail stays.

Anyway, so far he has 5 Completed... he needs 5 more fo the 10 grands, right?
