has had some of his worst habits reinforced by the audience vote and Jessica, who tends to find the nastiness funny.

Exactly. I think if Jessica found his remarks offensive he wouldn't say them. But I think it's his nature to be mean-spirited, at least in the game.

I agree with most of you that Eric is acting too mean and trash talks too much. I think he would have been GONE by now had he not been AP. I think we've given him some advantages over other players by voting for certain people.

I think Eric is the best player in the house and AP has been more of handicap than helpful. The tone of the house was set early in the season by Dick. Eric has been playing up to Dick for most of the time and by mimicking Dick he is subtly flattering him.

The vile things he says about others behinds their backs has rarely been discouraged by those few who are listening. This season was cast with a less classier crew than past seasons.

Ick - AP or not. He reminds me of the kid in school who was teased unmercifully but went along with it because it made him feel like one of the gang.

his nonstop doubletalk should have had him eliminated by now. It is implausible that he is still there.

he has been caught out redhanded a few times and these people just seem to FORGET about it.

I really think we are being joe Schmoe'd LOL

For me, it's not just the way he talks behind peoples back and all the trash talking he does, but also his arrogance which has increased over the weeks. He is acting more and more like Dustin IMO, and it may end up being to his demise. I really never cared for him as a player, America's Player or not.

I think I would feel much as I do now, except since he has changed the game in a way the majority of fans (myself included) wanted, I can tolerate him as he has been serving a purpose, not just aggravating me as he was early on. I also have a feeling, based on his early game play when he was pretty much ignoring his tasks, that if he was not AP he would have played a far dirtier game, spreading more lies, halftruths and turning people against each other.

If it was a different group of HG that might have served an interesting role. But since there are very few 'likeable' HG this year IMHO, then he just comes another villian. If there are one or two then it can be interesting. When that's all there is, then it's just another yucky HG.

As for him personally, there has always been something swarmy feeling about him, not helped by his twitches and snearing facial expressions IMHO. As for looks I've found that to be an interesting thing over the years. I will tell a personal story but it directly shows what I'm trying to say here, but I think more clearly. I had an ex boyfriend over to dinner years ago, near the end of our relationship. He was what most folks would consider very good looking, but as the meal went on, and he would be a jerk and then try to make up, the most bizarre thing happened. I watched him turn from good looking to really unattractive and hard in my eyes. But conversely I've known guys not esp attractive with hearts of gold who have grown more attractive in my eye.

So my point is that even though I do agree that folks may initially be cut some slack in this world (right or wrong) because of looks, I think as you get to know personality and if you have any depth, you start to see the inside and that's what shines through. So Eric may have started off relatively unattractive, I truly believe he stayed that way in my eyes because of what's inside.

Last point, I think he also has BIG TIME toned down both his gameplay and his mouth following sevveral VERY LONG DR's. My guess is most of this years twists flopped and they didn't want America's Player to be one of the most disliked HG in there!

Bottom line, I respect that he at least is playing, because so few are this year, but don't care for him a lot, as Gus said, AP or not!

PS lolol great post Sky...we found an area we can agree on, and very well put!!

I have no use for him at all, right from the start you could tell he wanted all the guys out except Dick because he is scared of him. <77> I watched the way hw looked at Zach tonight when Zach was talking to Jess, made me sick.

Why is Eric's popularity rating so high on CBS.com? I cannot STAND him, and I can't see how the HGs cannot see how "fake" his smiles are.....

I really don't care for Eric. AP or not. As far as the poles on cbs I don't take too much credence in them. I voted for Eric to have to kiss Dani. I thought that would cause the most problems.

If he wasn't AP, I probably would have wanted him to leave the house as soon as possible. As it turns out, I'm rather wishing he did. He talks in circles and says nothing. Without the AP, he is the James of this season.

I just think that it is a darn shame that Eric America's (not my) player is in the game at all. He comes across as being especially smug, smarmy, and irritating to me. I can't stand his eye brow twitching. Etc., etc., etc.

I didn't like Eric at the beginning of the show, never thought he should have been America's Player. I think there was maybe one week (about 3 or 4 weeks ago) I kind of liked him, but that went away very quickly.

I don't care for him. He is like a remora, clinging to whoever can take him to next week. Right now it is Jessica - to keep the numbers even in the alliance with the Donatos.
