I'm afraid you are right Mamie. Sadly I find myself already losing interest. Since I really don't find much likable in any of them, without us having a say so in anything, there's not much to hold my interest. I'm hoping for a miracle but it's not looking good!

Since they are all villifying Eric now. Who will they blame after he leaves? Do they all really believe everyone will live in harmony and trust just because they get rid of Eric?

Lucymac, I'm with you. I doubt I'll be watching too much anymore. I find there isn't too much I want to see. It just gets my goat and I don't need that while I'm watching something that's supposed to entertain me.

I think BB should have a recorded vote (i.e. not live) so that they can spend a bit of time with Eric on eviction, IF Eric is the one to go home. I think apart from the one muck up of being too obvious over Nick before he'd been given his vote he's done a good job, and if it wasn't for the banner he wouldn't have been targeted this week. He deserves to have a good send off, with some sort of tape shown to the houseguests. I'll be really annoyed if they just let his eviction be like any other.

Can someone enlighten me?

The banner said that Eric and Amber lies. Why would Eric be taking the focus of the banner and it appears that Amber has remained immune to the banner. Why would it be easier for the house to take this banner revelation and dump on Eric while Amber seems to be not effected.

I am aware that Danielle appeared to start the Eric is the bad guy agenda but why is the house giving Amber a free pass. Is there something about Eric that I am unaware of that the house knows that makes it easier to go after him. Does the house know Eric better than I do because they have been with him 24/7 and I am going with what is offered to me via live feeds, a television show, and posts on a message board.

If this banner is the undoing of Eric, it would make sense that Amber is the next to go but I am not seeing that in the current mood of the house. What have I missed?

Well they could also skip some of the recaps and still have plenty of time for something special if and when Eric leaves. I know somebody mentioned it on Housecalls today that he should just say something quickly on the way out the door and leave them all guessing what it meant. I can't remember exactly what the suggestion was but something to the effect of saying those votes and the mustard weren't me but it was really America and then out the door lol. It he leaves this week BB has to do something since he is gone before sequester. And it would be great if it could get them thinking there might be another twist still in the house lol.

Glenn I also don't understand why Amber is coasting on this when her name was also on the banner. Dani made a comment that it was the DR that turned her onto suspecting Eric. Now I doubt they meant to cause this to happen but I wonder if they stirred the pot in his direction? If so, that was not fair and rather stupid. I think some of them realize that Amber can be too easily manipulated which is probably what is saving her.

Also I think they knew that Amber was in some ways untrustworthy because of her emotional nature. They trusted Eric and therefore when they saw the banner they took it personally as they felt they had been fooled by him. With Amber they already knew so the shock and hurt to the ego wasn't there.

I'm so very sad that this is coming to an end. I bitterly complained at the start that the producers were messing with the fairness of the game. But somebody messed even more by sending a banner to out" the producers.

Sigh. Eric did a GREAT job with the tough situation he had to work with. I wonder, though, about the complaints that he was a CBS employee. Wouldn't he then have not felt the need to play for himself by getting rid of Nick? Because it was a piecework contract, the final prize was greater than the sum of the parts.

I know I'm not making sense. Sigh................

Carochar I don't think Eric is a CBS employee anymore than any of the rest of them. I think their mistake was in not making him an employee. This way he only got extra money if he completed tasks but still had to win the game for the big money. They would have been better off hiring him for a certain amount and offering bonuses for getting farther in the game but at the same time taking off some of the pressure to win. So you're right that they kind of made him a piecework contractor and should have just had him on salary where he wouldn't have felt that he had to play for himself too as well as America.

I agree, they should have made him an out and out actor/contractor, hired for the part. The conflict of fulfilling the AP requirements with his own desires to get further in the game just make this half and half role an impossible one to play.

For what it's worth, I like Eric. He's made me laugh with his antics and some of his live feed jabber. He'd be a blast to have over for beer and movie night. I'm sorry to see the guy go. He seemed to have done his best except for some strategic decisions in order to keep himself in the game. I think the banner crushed his house of cards, and that's just darn sad.

I really like Eric too. I just don't think he planned very well/or lied too well either.
I think he should have come out of the Diary room in a huff the night Nick was voted out. After Nick left and everyone asked what was wrong, he could have told them that he had made a huge mistake. When he cast his vote he had Kail on his mind to stay and said "I vote to evict Kail". He could have told the others that he asked to change his vote, but Julie said no...He should have made some excuse right away and not let them try and figure out who cast the 2nd vote. If he had of said he did it by mistake, he could of acted like he thought America would think he was stupid to want to change his vote. Then when the banner came out he could have said "see I told you America would hate me" He could have gone on and on about probably not being Americas choice for any prizes yet to come..Maybe it would have turned out differently if he had come clean(with some kind of excuse) right after Nick left..

I kinda thought he should have gone to Dani and said I gave the vote for Nick to stay because I knew you would not. I also knew that if I told you this beforehand that you would have tried to find another vote to keep him and we couldn't have that. I did it because I wanted Nick to walk out that door thinking his girl had given him her vote. HA!

Not sure, Sanfran. He's talked to quite a few people in the house today, but what I've heard and read, it's been pretty much the same thing with each of them. I haven't seen much of the feeds today, but I haven't heard him flattering anyone.

I like Eric and hope he can save himself. He certainly doesn't give up and keeps trying. He's good at talking to people except he doesn't pick up on clues when to quit talking and listen and to pick up the verbal clues the other ones are giving him (such as Zach tonight).

I think this has been a really tough, if not almost impossible, assignment. How to play the game under the conditions he's had. Good luck Eric!

A great way to get AP back in would be for BB to tell the HGs that America is voting to send an evicted Hg back in and then send Eric back in. LOL can you imagine D/D and Amber's face?? LOL

Lucymac...I couldn't have said it better myself! Without the America's Player twist the rest of them would have lost me long ago. Their foul mouths, their attitudes and actions just have turned me off. They can villify this person or that person for doing something but truth is they are ALL guilty of the action in the house. From ignoring Zach to standing back and letting Dick go off on Jen to letting Dick and Daniele run the house, which they will continue to do!

The only thing left to watch will be Dick and Daniele pick off the rest of the house...and if one of the others happens to get HOH they might put up Dick or Daniele, but if one of them get VETO they will be forced to put up one of their own and probably vote their own off.

I go to bed and wake up and it seems that they are keeping Eric! This house flipflops more than any in the past.

Can you believe he may stay???

Anyway, before this thread goes to pots...

Eric is the 'center' word for America.. but it's combined with Amber and Jessica... eh, eh.. the two ladies most involved in his game...
