Dani is sticking to Dick because she knows he'll protect her no matter what and she wants to win. Dick carries so much guilt that he's sticking with Dani to help Dani win.

Nala, I wasm't faulting Nick for not saying hi to Amber. I wouldn't either. I was simply saying, IMO, it was telling to Dani that he didn't say hello, that when he got out he probably found out stuff.

Again, open to interpretation Dick jokingly said to throw it in the jury's face that they were splitting the money. Did Daniele said no way to splitting the money or no way to telling the jury that. We don't know.

Why would Eric sacrifice himself for Jess? Dick did it because Dani is his daughter and his number one goal was to rekindle a relationship with her. Any loving parent would sacrifice themselves for their child. Eric didn't know Jessica before the show. Who knows if their "showmance" is true. Even if it is, what guarantee does he have that it will continue outside of the house. How sure are we that his relationship with Cheryl is over? If he "threw himself under the bus" for her safety, he'd never hear the end of it from his friends and family. It might end up even a bigger mistake than Marci not using the POV or Dustin volunteering to go on the block against Dick.

Eric would sacrifice himself because he likes a sweet girl more than he likes money. Yea, I am an Eric fan and I have hope in mankind.

jbw, it makes me laugh when hgs talk about how selfish others are (ex. amber) and only thinking of themselves lol. They all go into this with a dream of winning for themselves and their families and sudden new ties in the house can't possibly override their original conviction.

These two just happen to see the bigger picture and say we will stick together to win even though we cannot get along. But they're blood! And yes, technically Nakomis & Cowboy were too they had not known each other their whole lives. I think the twins had an advantage too only once it was known people were smart enough to get them out.

I agree it would be stupidity for Eric to sacrifice himself for jess... but, who knows at this point. I do agree with the earlier poster.. Dick will do whatever he can to let Dani win and then bow down.

Exactly sky.. ppl were smart enough then to do it and here they are not. However, just because your are blood doesn't really make you like someone ... some of the ppl I dislike most happen to be relatives.

And I'm not sure Dani would even thank Dick if he did throw himself on the sword for her. He'll probably have to wait until she's a Mom herself to get the recognition and love from her he craves.

She never even thanked him for using the POV on her rather than himself... that spoke volumes.

I think Eric will sacrifice himself for Jess for many reasons, one of which is that he's won $30,000 and doesn't want Jess to be mad if she doesn't win any money. I do think his feelings for her have changed his game playing immensely. While I love them together, they're so much fun, I wish they had stayed at a flirting level and not gotten as close as they are now.

I know shops. She expects everything from him, but gives nothing except "I don't want to talk about it right now" back.

Then he is a real moron to be honest... he claims to be a huge reality tv fan, how many "showmances" have actually worked? He should know better.

I think the only way Eric would sacrifice himself is if we were correct with early speculation that the AP could not win the grand prize due to the additional $$$ he made. If that is true and if he knows he'll have to be evicted (and this is 100% speculation so I don't confuse anyone lol)...then and only then could I see him being will to leave a tiny bit earlier. And sorry Tan lolol

Eric already will have $50,000 (his 40 plus stipend), not as big a sacrifice if he had just earned the stipend like everyone else. But he won't have a choice in the matter. The D/D/Z will decide who goes.

When you've been locked in a situation with no outside influences in the past 64 days, I think reality and judgement becomes skewed. And the fact the he has had so much fun with Jess, it warps the mind.

He told Jessica he would (was it last night? no maybe before nominations) but when talking to Zach before noms he pushed for Jameka to be nominated and "not him". So he didn't exactly offer himself up instead of her.

Has he said anything to suggest that he may sacrifice himself?? Not that I've seen. Probably just some wishful thinking by Jessica fans.

I was just thinking, that the one competition Eric has actually succeeded with inside that house is the job he's had to do for us. It clear his job in the house to win HOH/POVs etc is miserable, lol. But let's look at some of the others. Dick: Won Plasma TV plus the HOH extras when he was, free slop pass Daniele: Birthday gala, HOH goodies twice, the most letters of any HG in there, plus thousands of dollars of clothing, plus a trip via private jet to New York (do you know what that costs???). Jameka: thousands of dollars of clothing, birthday gala Dustin: a trip plus cash money Amber: thousands of dollars of clothing, plus trip to NY. plus xtra $1000 on POT Jessica: HOH goodies twice, a phone call home (gift from Eric albeit). thousands of dollars of clothing. Zach: HOH goodies (I won't mention the others, but anyways.... they've all gotten something...)

Exactly sky.. ppl were smart enough then to do it and here they are not. I agree! And it's driven me crazy the whole season! Stupid, stupid people! However, just because your are blood doesn't really make you like someone ... some of the ppl I dislike most happen to be relatives. I agree there too but I still think being father and daughter gave them full trust in each other. Anyone watching the Red Sox? I'm not even into baseball but it's exciting tonight!

Eric told Jess he would do everything in his power to try and secure her staying in the house another week. However, I think he's also pushing Dani and Zach to not use the POV. I think he knows he wouldn't win the half mil, and he's already earned probably 50k with his AP winnings and stipend, that he's more ok with leaving.
