I don't place a whole lot of credence in anything Julie says. First, she said it only once, and we are actually presented with slightly different information when we go to the CBS web site. Secondly, well, we've seen how well she reads cue cards! :-)

Guess I better post a disclaimer that I am posting today under the influence of Cold/Allergy/Flu Medicine. Matter of fact I figured it would be better if I didn't post today instead of PUI, but here I go.

AP would make no sense to me if we were just playing along with Eric's game and only voting on what he wants. What would be the point of AP? It would just be Eric's game and we wouldn't need to vote.

LOL, Costa...she definitely makes boo boos (Amber's daughter is 5 getting ready to go to 3rd grade) but the way it was presented in the beginning is how I have always thought of and used AP. If she presented it wrong, maybe she should be evicted...hehehe.

I don't see the eviction of Dustin as being bad for Eric's position in the game. Last week Dustin and Amber had the chance to form an alliance with Dick and Danielle to the final 4, but they chose not to. This week Eric and Jessica decided to take it.

I truly believe that if Dick had been evicted last night and Danielle evicted this week and Dustin wins HOH next week that he would have put Eric up and got him evicted. That way Dustin would have been the only "strong" player left in the game.

I am a fan of Dick, but I would love to see a final two of Eric with either Dick or Danielle because they all three have played the game. Although, other might not see Eric as playing the game, because he has not won a HOH or POV, but those of us who have voted for AP know that he really played for us hard this week. Now he needs to win a HOH to prove to the other house guests that he is not just riding on the coat tails of others.

Bilox: What would be the point of Eric agreeing to AP if he has slim to no chance of winning?

Eric said that he is in alliance with 10 million and that he intends to take us to the end. Being that he has mentioned more than once that our votes have not worked with his strategy, I have to believe he thinks he is there to win, not help someone else win.

ETA: maybe the problem is they told Eric one thing and us another.

(I should have a disclaimer as well...seriously sleep deprived...being on the east coast and addicted to BB is bad...lol)

I agree. Dustin needed to go and after last night's performance, I was glad he did. Dustin and Amber definitely had it out for Eric too. Their combination is not nearly as powerful as Dick and Dani though, IMO. It was a win/win situation for me b/c I do not like either...LOL.

Did anyone find out if Eric suggested a nomination after midnight?
That could tell us if it was Amber or Jameka.
Both could go up but I was hoping to see what Eric suggested.
Doesn't look like Eric even went HOH to talk to Daniele.

Eric did go to the HOH around 1am and suggested Amber.

Amber was AC. Dani's intention is to put Amber/Jameka on the block and if POV is used, backdoor Jen.

Ack. You asked me a question and I am five minutes away from needing to fall in drug induced nap on my couch and drool no less.

I guess my answer on why he agreed would be AP is,
I dunno.

I think there was a good chance of him being able to win. At least make it into the final two. I have seen where a lot of people don't want him in the final 2 so they can have a vote. Me, I don't care. If he makes it to the final 2 I say good for him.

I still don't get the point of him saying he will take us to the final 2, so now we should vote what he wants. That would be no different then any of the other players saying "hey America I am going to (fill in the blank) for you".

I'm not along for the ride, I am in it to play.

I knew they wanted to backdoor Jen.
I just hope Jen (if she doesn't win POV) will be up with Amber and she may be spared by America. If she's up with Jameka, Jen will be joining Dustin.

Okay, this time I will find out if the bag containing the balls omit the person they want to backdoor. Jessica left out Jen because they wanted to backdoor her. I don't buy for a second that all the names (beside those nominated) are in that bag.
If they exclude Jen again...that proves my suspicion.

I was wondering whoever looks after the table of succeeds in this folder, I notice the one about "flattering someone incessantly" still has question marks on it. I understood Eric had to "flatter" Jessica.

Bilox: I think he was just saying the he would give it his all for us to win and make BB history. I hope you get rest and feel better soon...summer colds are the worst.

Spunky: The chances of Amber winning POV is not all that great, IMO. She did come close to winning last night though so who knows. All I know is I do not want to see Jen get backdoored at all. You're right...will be interesting to find out about the magic ping pong balls .

Loppes, I don't think anyone knows who was AC for that task since it was never announced on BB, hence the ????. I am anxious to find out if Eric got credit for getting Jen nominated.

I don't remember anything about the AP flattering anyone. If you look at the schedule, you will see that they have 4 different events taking place on the week between July 31 and August 7th. There was only 3 votes that week and the only non-nomination, non-voting was to tell Jess that he would take her to the final 2.

Odds, he was supposed to flatter someone incessantly the week Eric was put on the block, but BB never used it on the show.

I thought it was Jessica, because that next morning (same week as he was on the block), Jess woke up to find Eric staring at her. I thought that was part of his effort. But who knows lol.

lol, Loppes...I am not sure if BB let that one pass b/c it looked like he was going home or what, but it was odd that it was never mentioned.

They've never shown the catchphrase, the silent treatment OR the flattering on the show. We don't even know how many tasks BB considers Eric to have succeeded at. Maybe they'll update us at some point.

So does last night's eviction of Dustin mean Eric is just 1 successful assignment away from making his second $10,000.00?

They did show some of the silent treatment, actually. It was when Eric was in bed, claiming to be sick. Jessica came to talk strategy with him and he said he couldn't and then when she was mad about that he said something like, "Okay, well maybe real quickly we can talk."

They also flashed a "failed" sign when Eric said those words briefly to Jessica while he was in bed and supposedly giving her the silent treatment.

They did show him talk to Dick I think it was about the catchphrase but it seemed lie it quickly got dropped.

Has anyone heard who America wants him to try to get nominated? I really hope they don't mess with him and suggest Jess. They are so cute together. It's nice to watch a "real" showmance.

Does anyone know if CBS plans on telling the jury members about America's Player before the finale? I expected Julie to mention it to Dustin, but it seems as if it's going to be kept a secret. Any information would be appreciated.
