Okay, some are upset because the AP didn't go balls out last week to evict kail. some are upset that we didn't get to vote who the AP should be. some just plain do not like this twist. BUT there are those of us who are enjoying the voting, even if the AP fails. why take it out on the AP because we didn't choose him? I like having a vote. I am not the one who is trying to win 500,000. so eric doesn't try as hard as we like. i was glad when eric did not push for jessica to be put up. i was not upset when he didn't push kail to go. even though i wanted kail out. anyway, why are people trying to ruin the fun for us who are enjoying the ap? because they can? wow thanks i want the ap in there. this is not to say i like eric, but i like having a say. if he goes this week, i have no say in the finale.

I think that CBS told Eric one thing and the viewers another and some people don't care that Eric is trying to win this thing.I am so glad that last night CBS gave the disclaimer "It's up to Eric whether he is telling the truth."

I'm with you Zachsmom...I like playing and having a voice (I also happen to think Eric is doing a good job under the circumstances). Those who don't like the twist should voice that to CBS instead of trying to mess things up with the vote.

I would like the AP twist better if we could vote for what video clip Eric could watch. I do not like that America gets to choose who Eric votes for. I would rather we get to stear him in a certain direction instead of making decisions for him. We couldn't vote ahead of time for who the AP is because then the HG's would know the twist. Ya, they could have made it a week one vote. But that would make a contract nightmare. Good luck Eric. I don't know how hard it is going in with a game plan then having to work for America.

I for one am not a Eric fan as a player but I do like having him play for America. Hey, we're in the house, we have a voice, we can't always trust our aliance but that folks is part of playing the game. I want him to stay in the game to help me play the game!

<93> CBS production stated that he is to VOTE for who we tell him to (Thats why he doesnt even get to state a vote during Thursdays live shows) but he doesnt have to CAMPAIGN against any of them. He is still playing to win the game just like everyone else and its our job to try to help him win it because its as if we were in the house. I compare it to <93> Howard Stern and his ilk and tried to ruin American Idol by voting for Sanjaya over kids that deserved to be there. Seems as though people are mistaking America LOVING Nick and HATING Kail. Thats what really was going on. It wasnt that America like Nick it was that they despised Kail. I dont even want Eric to win i want Jessica, Dustin or Jameka to win it all but im still going to try and PLAY THE GAME. CBS gave us a chance to be a part of the show and some people want to ruin it all <93>

I want him to stay in the game to help me play the game! This is the problem I have with him...Eric is not helping me play the game...Eric is following his own agenda... And since he is following his own agenda, I think it is wrong that he get information from America...so time for him to go!

How is Eric not doing what America told him to do? He was told to vote for Kail and he did it. Now he is getting flack for it. He is there also to win the game he isnt a toy that we can use as a pinata. He has a life and took 3 months out of his life and was TOLD to do this by production with the caveat that he still allowed to play the game to win. He has done EVERYTHING that we asked him to do. End of story

No his task was to try to get Kail evicted...He didn't even attempt to try to get Kail evicted, in fact he swayed everyone to vote out Nick. There were many HGs which were on the fence and it would have been easy for him to pursuade them to evict Kail as America wanted.

Exactly, what Bonbon said. Remember Eric does not cast a vote. It is done automatically.

Don't you understand Streetsmart , Eric is supposed to help Dick and Daniele win. His moves are hurting them and that's what has got so many people ready to tar and feather him.

CBS production released a statement that stated all he had to do was vote the person out. He was still allowed to campaign whatever way he seen fit. If he wasnt doing it that way they would have called him in the DR. But some people on another msg board emailed CBS and they told him all he had to do was vote that way but that he can still campaign any way he wanted to.

i thought once he got the task he did try to get her evicted thats one reason why dick is so mad at him cause he changed his tune. i dont understand americas point of view either. to me hes trying to do what hes told but it doesnt help that some are trying to mess up his game plan with voting for the wrong people. im in complete agreement with auntfer.

LOL Caprica i noticed They think that because America voted against Kail that we must have LOVED NICK. Meanwhile it was more a vote AGAINST KAIL than FOR NICK. Yesterdays vote PROVED IT because America voted to HELP Eric out instead of sabotaging him and that sends a CLEAR MSG. If America loved Nick they would have voted against Eric but they didnt. So WE are the MAJORITY

How would Nick's staying the house have helped Eric?

He would have fulfilled his AP task if Nick stayed. Remember his task was to get Kail evicted. He does not get to vote.

I don't like Eric because he is mean-spirited. So he got caught in a lie and what does he do? He trashes others, villifies them when he KNOWS how those votes were cast. All he has to do is simply state he didn't do them (yes a lie, I can live with that) but to trash and make others out to be evil personfied is what I cannot deal with. And THAT is what I do not like about Eric.

He did not vote to evict Kail, America did. If Eric got to vote he would have voted for Nick and then there would not have been a stray vote out there that caused so many problems.

The whole ALLIANCE wanted Nick gone why is everyone forgetting that? Did Dick and Dani vote for Nick to leave or not? Even if Dick and Dani voted for Nick to stay it would have been a tie and Dustin would have kicked him out as HOH. Grasping at straws people grasping at straws. And what about how Dick is mean spirited is that ok Beffylou?

In the long run Nick staying would only have hurt Eric. Nick was put on the block because they ALL believed that he was the one voting against the group,it was going to come out sooner or later that was not true.Getting Nick out kept D/D from forming a strong alliance with Nick and Zach.

It is really Dani that is causing all the trouble right now. And since dad is there it just multiplies trouble that much more. As we saw on last night's show Dani was upset after the HoH comp that Kail got 2 votes. She only expected to get 1. Dani thinks that those 2 votes with her's and Dick's votes she could have convinced 1 other person to keep Nick. You are right Street, the alliance did want Nick gone, Dani did not.

I'm not a fan of having an America's Player in the house, whether it is Eric or someone else. I don't make fun of people who like the AP twist, or of people who don't like it. There are people who choose to post in such a way (for either side), who personalize things going on in there. It doesn't affect my real life one bit what happens in the house. It DOES affect me and many others, when an expressed opinion brings posts that are basically saying, "you're stupid for saying that." BB tends to bring out very strong emotions, and unfortunately sometimes, great disrespect for one another. That's sad...

streetsmart, i'd like to see that CBS production release as the CBS website says "target for eviction". to me "target" means much more than to vote.
