I am soooooo with you, Wargod! I am so tired of Amber's tears and I don't even have the live feeds. I see enough of them on the show and the live feed posters posting "Amber's crying again" "Why?" "Someone looked at her cross-eyed!" LOL

I definitely want Dick out (Daniele also) but that ain't gonna happen this week. :-(

Lainee and SF, I am with you as always. I am disappointed that Dick is still in the house, but I am even more impressed with Eric than I was before. It couldn't have been an easy decision for him and especially Jen, but he pulled it off for America. At this point, I really hope Eric, Jess, and Jen do not pay for it, but I won't hold my breath.

Unlike a lot of America, I really believe Eric has been working for us all along. Since the game started, America has targeted Carol, Joe, Kail, and Dustin for eviction. They are all gone. Eric got Jen nominated per America's direction, but she either saved herself or was saved each time. I still hope he got credit for that :-).

Eric was between a rock and a hard spot with Nick and Mike. Dick and the LNC (majority) wanted them both out and America still voted for Kail. I just don't see how Eric was supposed to know that Dick was America's favorite and the LNC5 was the least favorite with that in mind. IMO, America has been sending Eric mixed messages until this week. I believe he gets it now. I just wish people would give him more credit. It cannot be easy being in that house, playing the game, trying to figure out what America wants, and being put under the radar b/c of our directives. JMO.

IMHO, Eric is doing a great job!!! He is so close to earning another $10,000. He must be doing something right .

I posted most of this America's Player thread too.

Klaw73...again I totally agree! I voted for Nick to be evicted but I was in the minority!

Here is my opinion on how America sees THEIR PLAYER:

Rather than looking at Eric as THEIR PLAYER to get to the end or at the very least as far as possible they look at him as their player to go jump off a mountain if that is what they tell him to do. At least with someone to do their every bidding they don't have to be the ones to do the dirty work and can keep their hands clean. They (America) can drink the kool-aid and it at home in their arm chairs and be safe...all the while they are creating war in the BB house. But it's for AMERICA'S VIEWING PLEASURE so what's the problem?!

Aahhh it's nice to come in here after being in the AP thread. I just don't get all those people being pissed off at Eric and basically thinking of him (as someone put in the AP thread a couple days ago) as America's b#tch. IMO the whole idea of AP was for America to get a chance to help a player to the end. Instead it's become this personal thing to some people. I really don't understand why people get so up in arms about Eric not doing what "we" asked and being really nasty about it. And now some people are planning on trying to use Eric as a means to get Dick to the F2. Huh?! Didn't anyone else get a little sick of Dick's obnoxious behavior this past week? Anyway, I just wanted to say that it's nice to see other people who think like I do!

But, Cousin_jake...the question was asked by BB/CBS way back from the first show "Can America and America's Player get to the end together?" That tells me we are in an alliance and those that insist that Eric is THEIR puppet to do as they want him to do don't want to see him at the end, they want their favorite player there.

And I can truly say I have had NO problem with the way Eric has acted as our player...nope I didn't get Dick out, but America chose to take out one of Eric's alliance, thus further weakening him for this week...

Off to work, laters ya'll! :-)

Marmo, I believe that was the original intention of America's Player based on what Julie asked us during the first episode ("Will you be able to lead Eric to the end of the game and the ½ million dollar grand prize"?). I believe it's BB/CBS's mistake, not Eric's, how it is being used. JMO.

Me too, Slinky. Despite the odds against him (America), Eric is still managing to stay in the game. He is an amazing player, IMO!!! I hope he can go all the way and win this whole thing.

I happen to like Eric - he seems to be a good sport when he is directed to act outside of his own strategy and worked those directions to his favor.

I like his alliance with D/D and Jessica. This protects his from D/D and from others in the house - they will most likely be after ED or Dani before gunning for Eric

Yeah...he does seem to be a good sport. I have supported the America's Player twist from the first day, and am glad Eric/America's Player made it this far...if he goes to F2 that's great! If he got evicted next week, I would miss the twist, but would still be happy since I get a vote at F2. :-)

Sorry if this has been discussed before... Do we, as America, get to decide who Eric casts as his final ballot in the jury? When (if ever?) does the AP end? Does he get any opportunity to act independently once/if on the jury?

Karen, the way I understand is that if Eric makes it to sequester then we, America, get a vote at F2 for the winner. If he is in F2, then there will be no vote...IF he got evicted now and went to sequester, then I am quite sure that we wouldn't vote on anything again till F2 since Eric would no longer be in the house.

Just my own interpretation of America's Player...

Thx, Lainee. I was just wondering if maybe once he was voted out, he'd have his own say in who he cast his final jury ballot for. No such luck, huh?

Congrats to Eric for officially earning his $30,000!!!

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother8/americas_player/archive.shtml

Also it seems Eric will be released from AP tasks other than casting the final vote (if he is now in the Jury) on the show of September 11th.

http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother8/americas_player/rules.html

I wonder if what point this is in the game??? Final 4, 3 or 2.

Anyway, Go Eric!

2. Voting Periods: America's Player on Big Brother begins on Sunday, July 8, 2007 at 5:00 PM Pacific Time (PT) and ends at 11:59:59 AM PT on Wednesday September 12, 2007 (the "America's Player Period").


Best calculation...if NO double evictions between now and then, then on Thursday, September 14 would be F4 after eviction...am thinking there will be at least ONE double eviction. Do not remember when the show is due to end though.

The final show is Sept. 18 so it looks like for the final week if he is still in the house, he will be able to play the game on his own. I'm guessing that might be final 3? If that is the case, I'm kind of glad that America doesn't get to vote to say who he should take to the end with him if he makes it. If he can make it that far I think he deserves to choose who he is sitting opposite.

I don't think this has been easy at all for him so congrats to Eric on doing such a good job!

Thanks Lucymac! :-)

So if show ends September 18...and this week is indeed the final week, then we should have a double eviction at some point in the next couple weeks.

, I'm kind of glad that America doesn't get to vote to say who he should take to the end with him if he makes it. If he can make it that far I think he deserves to choose who he is sitting opposite.

Exact wording from the CBS site is:

Eric is going to promise another HouseGuest that he will go to the Final Two with them. It's up to Eric, though, whether this promise is the truth or a lie. To whom do you want Eric to make this promise?

America chose Jessica...dunno if he was telling truth or lying to Jessica though. :-)

Funny, the main page of threads says that Dogmommy was the last one to post but when I come to read I am the last one to post! ROFL

Did Zach ever seem to get close to figuring out what Eric was hiding?
