To each his or her own, as far as the voting goes.

Per Amber it was Zach, Kail and Jen who were targets, not Dick or Nick, but hey, things can change.

Amber is pushing hard for them to believe that Nick was the second vote for Kail to leave. Not true. And others think it was Jen.

I don't understand, Kellee. Costs them more money?

If Eric has success, he earns more prize money.

OH...LOL ok I get it...but to me their pittance of 5,000 per 5 tasks is probably less than lunch money for the crew for that duration.

Why does everyone say Jen? Does Dustin not like Jen? I was thinking, Nick. If Nick was voted on and he is put up after the POV, would Eric get credit for this task?

It's actually $10,000 per 5 tasks, but it's still very low.

ooops, yeah, I guess 10,000. To me it's so ridiculously low at either amount. Can you imagine how hard Eric would have tried to get Kail out this week if it was 25,000 per 5 tasks? I just think the amount isn't enough for Eric to go balls out for every single vote.

I expected Julie to tell Mike all about Eric being America's player, but she didn't and wondered why.

I agree. I was expecting Julie to tell him too and I was disappointed that she didn't.

With respect to the 10k per 5 successful tasks, the prize money in general on this show is very lame. After all it's only 50k for second place.

Poor Eric has to fight his way ambiguously 'til after midnight when he gets his directive :-) I think that's funny. I enjoy that part watching him know right now he has to wait until what we voted is reported to him :-)

I think he should be able to VOTE the way he wants if the house goes in the other direction. His objective is to get a certain person out not to vote for that person. Now they will be buzzing until they figure out who was the third vote. Ther is potential that he will be found out.

I went with Kail. I would love to see Nick go, but I figured there's no way he would get the vote from casual viewers.

TY Stop. I don't understand why Eric is not allowed to vote when the task is "Who do we want voted out?"

Eric could get found out by his votes, and that would not be good.


I asked a while ago and no one answered, why he can't vote, even though the task is who to target.

To me target does not equal vote.

Mummy, Eric is "America's Player", basically meaning he is America's puppet. He represents all of us BB viewers who vote for the AP questions and does what he is told because he is playing for us.

Just wanted to add that I think it would be nice once in awhile for BB to include "Eric's Choice" in the options for us to choose from when we vote.

I vote for what I want in the AP poll, but like any other player in the game, even we (Eric) need to be able to vote what keeps him/us in the game longer. Eric should have a choice so he isn't covering his behind all the time.

I agree, Mummy.

Actually, I really want Dick on the block and evicted, but I'm not going to vote for Dick this week because I think it would get Eric targeted. I'm just trying to walk a fine line that will give me some say in Eric's game while keeping Eric in the game.

On the bright side, I think Eric is doing well and hasn't been targeted yet. AND he has already earned himself an extra $10,000 that none of the others got or even know abnout! :-)

I agree Eric is doing well right now. I just forsee this automatic vote as becoming a problem in weeks ahead.

This really takes America's choice/vote/player out of the game when we vote not what we want, but what keeps Eric in the house.

We have to vote before we know the full temperature of the house and then Eric is locked in. So many things change at the last minute.

Eric needs to be able to make some choices to stay in the game.

We get to be a player in the game, without knowing what might change between our vote and the final vote.

On the other hand, its better than nothing, lol.

Ditto Spunky and Jimmer, maybe Julie will tell Mike about Eric being America's Player on the morning show. I would have thought she would have announced that to get the viewers for tomorrow. Maybe they were running low on time or thought HOH comp would take longer than it did.

Well, it might be a ridiculously low amount of money, but depending on how long he lasts he still has the potential to earn more than second place...depending of course on how many tasks he completes.

Jimmer, thanks for the table it looks totally great! And works wonders. :-)

Frankly I think Eric's mysterious contrary votes aren't hurting HIM at all .. so far they are being attributed to Nick, Jen and Daniele, depending on who is "sure" they know. Eric is not on the radar.

As for Eric having to do this.. well this isn't a FAIR situation.

It isn't fair that six of them had someone in the house.. clearly they've been targetted. Dustin and Jessica so far are the two who haven't been on the block, the other four have been up, two are gone and Dick and Daniele are mentioned endlessly as being a double threat. At least Eric has the advantage of not being outed but being able to work in secret.
