I was wondering who won the AP. Sounds like possibly Jameka. Too bad America has now decided to try to help Eric, because he and Jess are toast. Zach wants Eric out; is mad @ Jess and Dick agreed for himself/Dani that they wouldn't put Zach on the block next week.

Is it true AP will end on September 12 if Eric stays in the house until then.

I guess if he's evicted during double eviction his jury vote would be AP? Right. Meaning America gets to vote on the winner.

What if Eric's card says Jess...and we see that he NEVER tries to get Jess nominated...then by luck of the small numbers, Zach nominates Jess...I will be very frustrated if he gets a completed

I put down 10 for Jameka. I know she won't go until the double but I really don't like the way she's FINALLY chosen to play the game

It appears to be Jameka, Sher. (I know you already know from another thread, but I didn't feel right not answering before going on to post the post I came here to make)
--------------


I can't wait until Eric is in a situation where we can ask him uncensored questions after BB is over.


I am SO curious about one single thing. And that is how he felt when it hit him that Dick wasn't America's least favorite. He spent a couple weeks there SURE America as a whole hated Dick and seemed shocked that our choices to nom and evict weren't Dick like he had obviously been campaigning against early on. I remember the day he realized it. He turned into a different player.

(btw, I DO believe he realized this on his own by getting our voting results that were contrary to his view of things, and not by BB provoking him. How could he not?)

I would also be curious as to how he will feel when it hits him that America doesn't like him...

I was just looking at what he failed and succeeded at...Did he really get a succeed for "I'd do that for a dollar"? Sorry but I didn't think that saying got started...

Wow, it just occurred to me that we have a very powerful vote week for Eric. If we choose to evict Jessica, then she's going to know it was Eric - no more hiding behind the "hinky vote" for him. I feel really bad for them if that happens. Jess will go to sequester not knowing what the heck hit her.

FTR, I still haven't decided who will be getting my votes for Thursday. I want to do what's best to further D/D in the game.

Eric is gonna be blown away if his voting card says Jess on THursday. He will be expecting it to say Jameka since thats what we voted to be nominated. Lots of people voted Jameka just because they figured she was a safe one to vote for when we weren't sure the HOH comp was going to be over before midnight last thursday. I wonder if he gets advance notice of what he has to vote.

Well, why doesn't BB just hand him the money?? Why the vote?? It's going to be another win for Eric and he'll brag about having won more than second place. And he will!!

I think it would be sadistically cruel of America at this point in the game to vote that Eric evict Jessica. Haven't we messed around with him enough? I don't think its right to vote for him to evict her, and then turn around and keep bashing Eric for being such a lousy player. He is reflective of what America is doing, so when we blame him, we blame ourselves.

Let's do the honorable thing for once! WE can all sit here and be latenight quarterbacks, but how many of us would have been able to carry out the responsibility he has had inside the house, carrying the persona of a HG in a house of other wacky houseguest, and then carrying on the persona as America's Player on behalf of a bunch of equally wacky viewers?
(I include myself in this).

Even if the majority will vote for Jessica to go it will be Jameka in the envelope as it was for Jen. Alison doesn't want to jeopardize Eric's game at this point, it would be too obvious, as it would have been too obvious having Eric be the only vote for Jen to stay.

This is why I'm saying just hand him the money and be done with this dumb AP.

Technically Eric cant win anymore money after he completes the stupid task from tonight right - because I thought there would only be 29 tasks so reallistically he doesnt have to do anymore.

I don't care for this mimic challenge. I would have prefered something he could do in the background again.

I can't decide who to vote for.

No, America won't vote Jessica if there is a AP vote this week....unless Eric makes major changes in how he is acting that is shown on Tuesday. Votes to annoy him were only when he was annoying us. Most of us are over that at the moment... and I would go as far as to say that most of us like him OK, too. At this point I would be fine with an Eric win, and I didn't feel that way when he was "acting out."

I agree that tonight's task is completely stupid. Who cares who he mimics? He could pull that off fine with anyone at this point. Just give him the money!

Personally, I think it's more than honorable to vote Jessica out. I don't like Eric and I'm really not liking Jessica. Both of them are threats to the three I want in the finale. So the "honorable" thing for me to do is vote to evict Jessica. It's not "sadistically cruel," it's totally strategic. I think Eric is a lousy player, and I've not liked him from the beginning. I wouldn't have picked him to be MY player, and I want him out. Getting Jessica out is the first step. Jameka and Eric can go up on the block next time.

I also really resent being called a "whacky viewer." Part of America's being allowed to vote is that we ARE allowed to vote HOW WE WANT.

The thing about the Sunday votes is that they've always just been about getting a little more footage. There was little strategy...at times it was even anti-strategy. It was just another hoop for Eric to jump through for America's amusement.

And sure, they may be stupid, but I saw lots of people get a big kick out of the "Barely" added on to Eric's kiss task completion. That's what the producers want, something in the hole for what is often a very boring Tuesday show.

I know many don't believe this, but Eric has lived for three months in an environment in which he is living a lie, having to protect the very people who want him out of the house, and at the same time having no one to talk to about the stress he is under except for the very people who put him in that position to begin with, so I think he has more than earned any money he has made. The psychological toll, as you saw tonight and we've seen over this weekend, has been higher than for anyone else.

That people would consider upping that toll, just because they want to hurt Eric more, seems a little too much like taking pleasure in another's pain. But, to each his own, I guess.

it has nothing to do with hurting him--and has nothing to do with pain.

It has to do with who I wish to vote for-

If you dislike him so much, then why vote? Why not just boycott voting for things for him to do. After all thats what everyone does when they get ticked at Big Brother or Endemol a petition or letter writing campaigns starts.

I said "wacky viewer", and I don't see why you would resent that connotation, and turn around and feel its fine to lable Eric "lousy". No one is forcing or twisting your hand to vote any way you don't want, but EVERYONE is entitled to post their views. My views just differ from yours in terms of how to support the American Player. He's not my favorite player either, actually for the first time in BB history, I can't even come close to figuring out which one of them is my favorite. Perhaps Zach right now is my most favorite , and perhaps it was Mike, who I felt wasn't given a chance earlier. Regardless, at the end of the season, I'll be happy for who ever wins the prize, even if its my least favorite person.

My MAIN point, is something I have posted a number of times and NO ONE ANSWERS, "Do you think you could do a better job than he in that house, if you were given the same set of rules and guidelines by BB?"

Eric's already made $30,000 plus for his summer... the rest of them were not even given the chance to make that extra money. I do feel for him a bit since I know he is feeling the stress of how his gameplay impacts Jessica, but when it gets down to it he has a pretty sweet deal. Jessica, on the other hand, not only has to deal with the stress of whether she can trust him (for good reason) but is directly impacted by his play. But I still think that throwing people off balance as to how they are playing has worked to their advantage... and I am not sure they would be at this place if not for Eric's forced AP moves.

They tell them up front to "expect the unexpected"....Big Brother is about getting through to the end with whatever obstacles are put in your way. Those obstacles are never the same for any two players. Dani and Dick's relationship is actually a disadvantage since it makes them natural targets. Yet they have endured, even openly working together. Zach was not seen as one of the bigger threats of his alliance, so that is why he is still there. Jameka kinda-sorta aligned with people and if Dustin had not been evicted that week would be sitting pretty right now. All of them have had a long row to hoe. Some of it is skill, some of it is chance, some of it is luck, some of it is show manipulation.

I don't ever mind being called wacky, but since my votes so far have been with the majority of America I think I am probably just normal (which I prefer to average.)
