I don't care if Eric and Jessica like eachother. I can't stand either one of them.

Of course she will!! She tells him everything. She can't seem to think on her own...she has to go to him for everything. As far as I am concerned, she has not played this game at all. She lets everyone do her thinking for her. I'm with you Ambi...I don't care for either one of them. She is too wishy washy and he is over the top. I just don't see where anyone can say she has played the best strategic game. Asking someone what to do and telling someone not to say that because I'll be blamed is not strategic. Actually it is very boring.

Wow Napa and Ambi LOL all I can say Is DITTO. Jessica is cute and all that but as far as game goes. She is too easily influenced! The only game play she has made is in making sure her hands are clean when it comes to the vote ,eviction or decision LOL

I've wanted to see them make final 2 for a couple of weeks. Initially I didn't want to see Eric in F2 because I wanted to vote in the F2, but seeing as how "America" appears to be voting the opposite of me, it's not worth it. If they are F2, I'd like to see if Eric is allowed to tell Jess the AP thing after jury questioning but before they leave the house. I think that would make a huge difference to how she reacts to the whole thing. I think it would also be interesting because, if we get to see it, we might get a better idea of what his thought process has been. If he's smart (something that can be questioned, most definitely) he'll point out that he did everything he could to protect her using the information he had. Of course, in the next three weeks, I fully expect to see her betray him (not that that's a bad thing, since they are playing a game). So they probably won't be F2 together.

I used to love watching them, but don't anymore. Maybe it's because he's completely changed her original gameplay, so I don't trust a thing that comes out of his mouth. I like her more than I did Erika last year, so I don't want to see her played. I used to like him, but he's just annoying now.

Cricket, I know you think she's making a mistake, but what if she isn't?? What if Eric keeps his word (and there's been nothing to indicate that he won't, unlike with Boogie and Will, or Drew or Alison, for that matter) and he takes Jessica to F2? What if Eric really is playing this, for whatever reason, for the two of them to get to F2? Is it then a dumb strategy for her?

Oooohhhhh...I just remembered, while checking a message board for my favorite show, Friday Night Lights, that I decided to root for Eric and Jessica when they both said they like it and Eric said it's his favorite. If you love FNL, you can't be completely evil in my book!

From what I have seen there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that Eric is anything but sincere with Jessica. He will do anything to see that they get to the end and he doesn't even care much if they get to the end and she ends up winning the whole thing. His devotion to her is either wonderful or pathetic (depending on one's perspective and how Jessica feels about him).

I agree Jim. I also think he's sincere in saying that he will do everything he can if he's voted out to make sure she wins.

Do you know if Jessica talked Eric into using the veto to backdoor Dani? They were talking about it when I fell asleep last night.

So, Jimmer and Wargod, what do you think his motivation to getting her to F2 is? Is it just his crush? Is it that deep down he believes he can beat her in F2? Would he just be happy with the AP + 2nd place money so it doesn't matter?? I have a theory, but I'd like to see some other ideas before I say it. PS...Jen, that was very cute!

Only, I wonder if he can't win the money. So he's always had her back because out of anyone else, he'd want her to win. Who knows.

I think it is a combination of crush and ego. He cares about her a lot and if he helps her get to the final two he has her all to himself (um … along with all of the Internet viewers) and I think he feels he will be able to share in the credit if she wins. It's very cool to get to the end with someone that you care about because it takes away the pain of potentially losing. But mainly I think he's just crazy about her. Also maybe he gets some sort of special bonus we don't know about if he makes the final two.

Jen, my theory is that he thinks he can't win the money. From the interview with Alison G., we know that they haven't decided when to reveal the AP thing. They may have told Eric that they might reveal it BEFORE voting and he thinks that the jury won't vote for him because of it. In that case, he wants to be in F2 with the person he DOES want to win. Just a theory. However, I do agree with your ideas, Jimmer. The crush, plus the credit plus the opportunity to be with her "alone" are all good incentives!

Did you see that AP ends on September 12th? He gets to play for himself then. But will they tell the other guests about it before the finals?

Exactly, Jen. If AP ends and they tell the others before the finals, what will happen? Will they hold the money against him? Now, Eric could set it all up and explain how he had to work twice as hard because he had to work with the people in the house, follow the AP voters, do silly tasks, like giving Jessica the cold shoulder, that could mess up his game, and make sure Jessica was protected as much as possible. He could then explain how he had no choice but to flip the vote on Dustin and get into an alliance with D/D. If he managed to stay true to Jess through all of this AND says he doesn't care if they give her the money, he just might get their votes of respect for the game he played. I mean, what better defense can a player have than...America made me do it?!?

I hope the AP twist ends at least on the final 4 as there are scenarios where Jessica could be voted out by Eric because of twist. Go Jessica & Eric!

Only, I don't know that he'd give up his own shot at winning if he has the chance ("No, really give her the money") if its the two of them in final two, I do think he is sincere in taking her with him if the choice is up to him. I also think if he is evicted, and she is left, he will do what he says and do what he can to help her win. Not sure if it's just that he really likes her, he thinks she's the most deserving of those left and he'd rather see her win than anyone else, or just cuz he can't stand anyone else in the house and the idea of them winning. I just don't see him letting her go if he has the choice at final 3 and betraying her in that way. Maybe I'm wrong, but I do believe he is genuine in what he's telling her about that.

Wargod, I ONLY think he would say "Go ahead, give her the money" if the jury had been told about AP and he wanted to challenge them to vote the "Player that Fooled them All" over "The Nice Player". It's kind of like reverse psychology...I don't care if you give it to her, I brought her here with me for that reason, because I KNEW you would never reward me for tricking you...all the while hoping that they WOULD reward him. Also, he drags the "You are a scumsucker for using Jess to win the money" rug right out from under them with the move. It's daring, but it might work! Mary...I've been running all the possible scenarios and I KNOW that America would screw over Jess & Eric, so I really hope they don't have the opportunity!
