But how far he carries campaigning for Amber (it sounds like it may be dropped after she was nominated) will set the path for how I feel about things in the next week.


Yesitsme...campaigning to get Amber nominated and campaigning to get her evicted are two different tasks. Once she was nominated there was no more need for him to campaign till after the show on Tuesday when we get the vote to evict task.

I believe that even if you think this task is "stupid" that you should vote for it. You wouldn't want the "wrong" person to win because you didn't vote, now would ya?

I didn't even know what a Woobie was, So i did a search and found this for anybody else who didn't know.


Just exactly what IS a Woobie, anyway?

As a service to non-Goldens everywhere, I'll start by explaining what a woobie is. The best definition was written by a nice man named Bill Schulz, who lives in Midland, Michigan. I quote below from his definition, which appears at Golden Retrievers in Cyberspace (along with lots of other GReat stuff!):

woobie - (wu-bee or woo-bee); n., 1. beloved object, often carried around in the mouth for extended periods of time; 2. Foul-smelling object often saturated to twice its normal weight with pet saliva; 3. Pagan object of worship, often embraced by canines of the Golden Retriever breed {italics mine}; 4. Constant companion, sometimes revered and sometimes abused; 5. All-purpose mouth-ornament, may function as pacifier one moment, and dental floss the next.

Many of our favorite things can qualify as woobies - stuffed animals, tennis balls, or even dad's old socks. (I even count hard things like nylabones as woobies, but I'm not sure other Goldens do.)

So you see, even if you're not lucky enough to be a Golden Retriever, you can still be a Woobie-Lover. If you're fortunate enough to be as spoiled as I am, you probably get woobies every year on your whelpday, or Christmas or Chanukah. If you DON'T, well it's time to give your owners some remedial training! So now that you know what a woobie is, grab your favorite one, and settle down for a nap while my mom tells us all . . .

It doesn't make sense to vote opposite of what house majority wants and then get mad at him when it doesn't happen. Eric can try to flip it but there are no guarantees.

In instances like with Nick I think he could have flipped the vote or at a minimum at least tried to a lot harder. From what I saw he only made an extremely feeble attempt. I think that is why America was mad, not that he didn't get the job done, that he didn't even try because he was playing by his own agenda, not America's.

In the Jen instance I don't think he can flip the vote because so many people in the house hate Jen, Jameka can't play in 3 more HOH's, Dani is so going to make a deal with Amber on their outing if it happens before the veto ceremony and people already think Jen and Eric have a sub-alliance so him pushing for Jen will make him look really bad.

He flipped the house to save Dick maybe to his own detriment, so I just want to make it an easy week for him. I like having an AP so I don't want him to leave yet. Also jen has been boring me to tears lately. I hate Jameka, but at least she has a personality, i may not like it, but at least she has one.

I voted Jess to get the woobie too!

My vote is for Jessica. Is there any other choice? lol I don't care to mess with the vote this time. Eric worked hard for us the past week, we should do him this favor.

First of all, I don't think CBS said it was actually Eric's Woobie. I feel silly typing that word, lol. Anyway, because it's going to be used as a manipulation, I really would not want it to go to Jess, because she may get hurt over the truth of it, ya know. I would much rather see ED or Zach get it. It would totally kick Eric's ass, having to come up with a moist-eyed, 'here's my teddy' story for one of the other guys, and it would completely confuse them. Two birds with one stone, providing me with entertainment.

I think he's smart enough to handle it if it's ED. Who better to help him give a rock and roll ending to the woobie that he's outgrown? That should be easy to pull off. Even better he can claim that Dustin left it behind and watch Amber go into "weepfest" when they destroy "Dustin's" woobie. A girl can dream. Go Eric!

Cut the kid a break and vote for his sweetie, Jess!

By the way, Spygirl, I have a "woobie" blanket! I have had it since I was born (I am 32 now). I sleep with it every night. Me, the hubby and my woobie!

Eric just confirmed to the camera that he and Woobie just banked 30 thousand dollars. So the chart is wrong. He has only failed 4.

Sleepwalking
Silent Treatment
Jessica Nominated
Either "do that for a dollar"/ or "Flatter"

He does obvioulsy get credit whev he votes people out regardless if they go or not.

BTW He gave Jess his woobie

Did Eric just tell the camera that he's now at $30,000 after completing this woobie task? If so, can anyone figure out how that adds up?

(ETA: Oops, a little late due to board maintenance mode.)

I don't think the discrepancy is in the tasks related to choosing the HG to be evicted. If you watch the July 17 show (AP vote for eviction between Dick and Joe), at around the 56:28 mark, the announcer clearly says that the AP task would only count as completed "if the houseguest you choose is sent home".

Maybe BB changed their minds about the task of getting into bed with Joe? Or maybe Eric was only assuming that he already has $30K and is wrong in his accounting?

Well if you count the "succeeded" and the "?????" and the "disputed 2" you get 15....
