It is possible to be an Eric fan and want Dick to stay this this week over Dustin. Just sayin'.

Naja, I don't care who I am a fan of, I definitely want Dick outta there. I am so tired of trying to watch the show and BB is continually having to bleep out Dick's words and fuzz out his mouth so that you can't read his lips. It is most annoying.

Street I will definitely be using all the votes I can come up with to send Dick packin'! If he doesn't leave, I'll be tuning out at least until he is gone. Some of my friends that I like to talk about the show with are already tuning out since they can't stand him. And I think Dick in the house hurts Eric's game. And I definitely think Dustin helps Eric's game more than Dick.

Lainee, oh yes, I know we aren't the only ones voting, but I think we have a really good cross section of people on this website who are probably representative of those outside of here voting.

Lainee, I haven't lost hope yet. I am going to vote like crazy for Dick to leave. It will not only help Eric, it will help Jessica too. Those two together are so much fun to watch and will keep it entertaining :-)!!! Plus, they have already discussed eliminating Dustin, so I think that will happen soon enough!!! First things first, this American wants Dick gone...lol!!! Everyone I know that watches the show wants Dick gone too and are going vote, vote, vote!!! Eric deserves a break, IMO!!!

The transcript from Episode 1 was posted on the America's Player thread:

AP transcript from Episode 1......

Julie:

Do you ever find yourself shouting at your favorite houseguest on the TV screen because you know they are about to make a fatal mistake? If so, we have a twist just for you because for the first time in Big Brother History you, America, will be in the house.

One of our houseguests is called America’s player. This person will follow your instructions throughout the game everything from who to get out of the house to who to make out with in the house. It’s time to meet America’s player.

Eric:

So it looks like I’m going to be America’s player. Welcome to reality TV’s first alliance of 10 million. I couldn’t be more excited. We’re going to pull off reality TV history. We’re going to win this thing. I’m going to do this for the online bloggers the live feed watchers and everyone sitting on their couch who are saying like what a bunch of idiots. You guys are in full control of my destiny in this house. You’re going to be able to tell me who to vote for, who to target for nomination; your wish is my command. I’m here to give you guys what you want.

I hope America realizes this is a chance for us to be the stars of this show and send everyone else packing.

I am the quintessential BB player. I got the brains, I got the cutthroat skills, we’re going to have some fun. We’re going to bring it home, America.

Julie:

Now that you know the identity of America’s player, here’s how it will work. You will be giving directions to Eric every episode this summer starting this Sunday via text message or online at cbs.com. You give the directions and Eric must follow them. He is sure to obey you because for every 5 tasks he completes, he will have earned $10,000. Will you be able to lead Eric to the end of the game and the ½ million dollar grand prize? This summer the power is in your hands America and this is just the beginning of an exciting summer.

(Eric thought he was supposed to be in alliance with America and the goal was to win the game when he accepted the role!!! Ahhhh...I feel so much better having read that!!!)

Lets vote as much as we can and tell everyone you know to vote also to evict DICK. The Pro-Dick side is over confident so lets give em a run for their money!!!!

I think some folks are confused, this is not a us vs them, pro vs con, abusive language vs polite conversation.

It is about winning the game...America.

Eric has a better chance with Dick in the final two.

Mr_furd, that's the first thought-out reason I've heard for getting rid of Dustin. Seems like everyone else is sailing on emotion. Bravo!

I'd like that too, Klaw73. And I'd hope that Jessie wins the half mil and that Eric wins the 50K(?) second place money PLUS 20K or more for the tasks he accomplished. :-)

SF, I would be perfectly happy with Jess winning it all and Eric getting 2nd too. See I told you, I love your posts...hehehe.

Thanks Mamie...it's good to have support for a change. The boards can be a bit harsh at times. .

Btw, I have been in contact with Eric's brother and he is going to create an account to post in this thread. Woo hoo.

Well, I have to agree with the three of you.

I would like Jess to win, I'd like Eric to take second. It wouldn't kill me if Eric won, but it would be fun to see him with Jess.

So, that makes the four of us a minute minority on this board. What would you say the chances are that we're going to get our dream finale?

I'm guessing pretty slim based on my past experience.

Klaw73, I guess this is a point we will have to agree to disagree on...I have always wanted the vote in F2. Greedy that way, I guess! LOL Seriously, if he goes all the way, well and good...but I am fine if he goes next week, cause I get that vote in F2.

Lainee: Well, unfortunately, I believe you're going to get your wish. I cannot believe America did this to Eric again!!! He is in yet another lose/lose situation regardless of the outcome, IMO. It's Nick all over again, only this time with Dick.

America knows that the entire house is ready for Dick to leave, other than Dani. It really comes down to how Jen votes, IMO. She very clearly stated that the DR was trying to change her vote and she was annoyed b/c it doesn't work with her own plan. Why would any one of the houseguests, especially Jen, want to keep that man in the house after everything he has put them through? I just don't get it.

Perhaps America will be a little more understanding if Eric is unable to pull this off, but some how, I doubt it. Eric cannot catch a break no matter what he does and it's rather sad, IMO.

America showed what kind of game they are playing with their choice of HG for the silent treatment.

Americal is H E double hockeysticks bent on getting Eric evicted from the house. The viewers are doing everything they can to ruin any chance Eric has for an alliance let alone win this season.

I hope the BB producers take notice and remove America from the game equation for all future seasons. Allowing public input may work for the UK or Austraila, but when it comes to BB, America has no clue about playing this game.

American public input was a bust in BB1, I was hoping this time it would be different. I am very disappointed in America's gameplay and no longer think the viewing public should EVER be made part of this game.

Klaw73...It isn't a wish for me! My wish was always to get him far enough to have that vote in the jury! And now that I have it, personally it just doesn't matter any more. I am still rootin' and tootin' for the AP...if he goes all the way then YAY! for him...if he leaves next week, then I still have my wish. Ya see, it just doesn't take much to make me happy! LOL

Kep421, you are the first person I have heard talk against America in the game during the first season. I wasn't around till mid BB3 so I never had it and never missed it. I have for the last 5 years heard of nothing but how the posters here wanted MORE INPUT in the house and now that they have it they still aren't happy...and in fact have been doing their damndest to get their say taken out.

I have done my level best to work WITH Eric in the way that I took this twist to mean...unfortunately those of us here are in the vast MINORITY! :-(

The only other thing that would make me happy would be if BB quit with the organ music...but that is another topic and another thread! LOL
