Kiari43, I want Eric to vote against Dick, but I think you are wrong. The task is to GET the person evicted. He does not vote. He never casts a vote. He just goes into the DR as a cover. So why would he get credit for the vote. His task is to get the person evicted. The thing Eric has to decide is if succeeding in getting Dustin voted out is worth it. Is the money he gets for being AP worth the risk of breaking up his alliance and getting him evicted because of it. He must be allowed that option, because it is presented as a pass/fail option and the penalty is not getting the money. So apparently it is his decision whether to do it or not. I hope he says to hell with the money and evicts Dick's butt.

Do we know that the "who do we want eric to evict" is actually a task that gets counted ? The person with the most votes is automatically voted on erics behalf. It's not really a task. I think maybe only the , who should be get nomintaed, and the silly, sunday task are what he can earn money on. Anyone know for sure ?

He gets credit for it because he is SUPPOSE to campaign to get that person out.

according to This article according to a CBS spokesperson,as of the 8/2 show, Eric had succeeded in 7 out of 9 tasks. So that means he's got, what, 9 of 13 now? (so I'm thinking if the nomination person goes up, he gets credit even if the person was vetoed out- but he doesn't get credit for the eviction vote unless that person is evicted.)

Well if he doesn't have a choice in voting, he has every right to choose not to campaign.

And for those who say he should without reservations do what America wants, because he is working is FOR America. He is also an elibible constestant for the money, which also allows him to also work for himself. When a player is in an alliance, he is working for the alliance, but he is also working for himself. Sometimes when he feels his alliance is not doing what is best, he must make his own decisions. He does that by choosing whether to do the tasks. America as a member of the alliance also has that option. They exercise it by assigning tasks which he may or may not do. But they also exercise it by casting the vote, which Eric has no control over. Some people see it as all one sided, that Eric is a puppet with America pulling the strings. I do not see it that way and I do not believe BB meant it to be that way. I think that is just how some people interpreted it.

They have explained it a few times on the show. For evicting, he gets credit for a task completed if the person America picks for him to vote for is evicted. (he doesn't even vote actually--Julie usually asks him some question) For nominating, he gets credit for the task if the person America picks for him to try and get nominated actually gets nominated.

The question they ask is who do you want Eric to vote to evict. His vote is our vote, he doesn't have to campain.

So Eric has likely got $20K banked or almost banked...That's pretty much half of the 2nd place money when you facter in the stipends.

I haven't voted at all until last night...I cast my vote to evict Dustin and here's why..... in my opinion, (because Dustin really did used to be my favorite) Dustin was a better person when Joe was in the house...he was trying his hardest to be the more mature, more sensitive, less confrontational, and just the bigger person....as soon as Joe left, he dropped the act (because that's what I see it as now, an act) in Dick's case, I have no love for him..not even in the beginning, BUT he's stayed true to his nature...what you see is what you've always got, regardless of who's in power or whatever. NOT saying that he's right, just saying that he was a "dick" at the beginning and nothing has changed. I would just prefer Dustin, with his kings robe and cocky attitude leave first

Here's an interview with CBS from Reality News Online that answers questions about America's Choice. http://www.realitynewsonline.com/cgi-bin/ae.pl?mode=1&article=article7214.art&page=1

although she doesn't know it, it looks like Jen is going to be the key this week..and Eric is doing a CYA in case it's a tie, he's saying Jen will be the rogue vote...

Thanks Aurora for the link. I just read the article and I still don't see where they say the person has to be evicted. at the time they say he failed 2 tasks, but that in itself is confusing because he definitely failed 1, the sleepwalking. So which is the other one he failed? The first week America voted Kail and she stayed, or the second week America voted Kail and she stayed??? It doesn't make sense at all. It should be 1, or 3?

http://bigbrotherwiki.cbs.com/page/America%27s+Player This is in the wiki sectin of the CBS site and goes through each of the tasks. Since it is on the CBS site one would think that if the info is incorrect that CBS would have it removed.

It is a dumb move for ANYONE in the house not to vote Dick out this week, with the exception of Daniele. The two of them have to be broken up, and given the chance to do it, they have to take it. Allowing those two to still be in the house together as the numbers dwindle is just a huge mistake on everyone's part. Nobody in the house is a bigger threat to ANY of them than those two together. Will be interesting to see how it unfolds, but any move except getting rid of dick is a bad move.
