This is just getting to be too much of an unfair advantage to the AP now. I say he needs to stop being fed info at this point or pulled from the game. He knows way too much of what is going on and he constantly is a step ahead of everyone in the house now. I say off with his head and let him play on his own now or take him out of the game! Enough, he isn't playing for us anymore, he is a Benedict Arnold as far as I can see, and he needs to be cut off from now on guys!

I want to know if CBS will have a class action suit taken against them, because of people paying for Eric to do things on the AP polls, but is not attempting them. I am quite upset that I spent money, expecially with the Nick deal that he blately made sure was evicted. What a rip off.

Eric is putting up the guy that saved him last week. Id say he is 100% doing what America ASKED him to do. His game is suffering due to it. Plus CBS is trying to sway people into saving Dick.

When are people going to realize it is "The Dick Show" as far as CBS is concerned and they want to keep it that way. America is just playing into it by evicting Dustin. JMPO

Gemini, you could save yourself a whole lot of money by just doing your votes for free online.

How is this a bad thing? He's AMERICA'S PLAYER? He's playing on behalf of US. So isn't the point to GET HIM TO THE END? If info is helping to the end, why is this a problem? He is figuratively our representative in the house. Technically, if one hates the AP being fed information, then they should be fundamentally opposed to the AP in general, because anything the AP finds out via those envelopes is the result of WAAAAY more information than he could collect on his own in the house. For all he knows, he could think that "America" is actually looking out for him, and that Dustin is bad mouthing him when he isn't around, but US seeing the live feeds and voting against Dustin is to protect him. I just don't see what the fuss is all about. Either you're FOR the twist, and all the info that comes with it, or you are absolutely against it. I don't see a place for a middle ground.

The only thing that COULD be hidden from the AP is their "vote". The "who to nominate" can't be hidden, nor can the useless tasks.

From what I have gathered from seeing the shows and reading on CBS website, that it wasn't their intention all along for Eric to be our . I thought we were to help him along the way, and get him as far into the game we could. AP is just a ghetto version of America's Choice. It is nothing but a popularity poll IMHO.

America can't handle having a representative in the house.They don't want to play,they are too distracted by the rantings and whinings of the other players. America has picked their favorites and have abandened their player.If Eric is not willing to aide their favorites to the end then they will make sure he is voted out.

Actually, as AP, if Eric is getting additional information from BB (aside from the information he can glean from our votes), and makes it to the finale, do you really think people will be pleased? How do you think the other HGs will feel if the DR has been feeding Eric information and he ends up in F2? I can just hear the "cheater!" yells now.

Or, America has picked their favourites and are USING the AP to further them along. Potato, Patato.

We don't know Bastable. We've asked Kiersten, who started this thread, to explain, and so far... nada.

"No No No No No, What is the Deal with Eric and BB!" This thread title doesn't even mean anything. What is the topic supposed to be? The answer to the question posed by the thread title is: His deal is to be AP and there are no further details.

This thread should be combined with the BB influencing the game thread or countless others!

All these tasks they are giving Eric are just setting him up. He's living with the negative consequences of them. I think the producers "feeding him information" is just balancing the whole situation out just a bit. BTW - I don't think they are "feeding him information" per se. But, it is clear from watching this show over many summers that HGs do get information from producers - even if it's just from the tone of voice used, what questions are asked, how they say things, etc. Producers are only human. Even if they try very hard to not give away information, they do. And, I don't think most of them are "trying really hard" either. Overall, I like the America's Player twist. It mixes things up a bit and keeps the show fresh. I do wish they'd picked someone a bit more likable than Eric - but he's doing a good job. He hasn't given away his secret and he's making a pretty good effort accomplish the tasks even when they are totally not in his favor.

Did anyone get the feeling from last night's show that Eric has been told by the DR that he pretty must lost America's respect? His whole demeanor seemed different to me. When he said that he was going to earn America's respect... I felt like he just left off the word "back". That he knew America was pretty turned off him.

No Beffy I didn't get that feeling at all. In fact if I were Eric I would have told America to kiss my butt and I wasn't going to do anything they want any more. All the votes seem to me to be in Eric's WORST interest. But he seems to be taking it all in stride and hasn't really let it bother him that we are "out to get him".

Sorry I didn't get back to you since I posted this last night, I got misinformation last night. With this site being all nutty late last night and I couldn't get past 2 threads I had to start a thread to at least start posting some of the info I was being fed by someone I know. Unfortunately, I couldn't see the threads other than Current Happenings and one other thread, so I started this one since I didn't know where to post what I was getting. Anyway, it was false info, and when I came here earlier tonight I wanted to post but I had to leave quickly. Mods if you want to delete this new thread, please go right ahead, like I said, I was being given false info and then I was not able to post and didn't want to keep making new threads beside the one I had made already. I do want to say one thing, I am just glad that I did not post the bits and pieces I was being told, it was utter BS.
