America's Player is what made Eric stand out in the game even though he wasn't good at comps.

If it wasn't for America Dustin would have lasted longer and Dick gone sooner. But also Eric would have gone sooner.

I agree that the biggest flaw is that they chose a person that most people didn't feel comfortable having represent them. Maybe were asking too much. I think when Eric got Nick out is when he sealed his fate. His ego also turned people off. Add to that is incest talk and child molester talk. Thats just not the stuff America embraced in a player representing them.

LMAO I have to agree with the person that states the biggest flaw with this whole AP concept was America in general. I call it the Paris Hilton factor. That along with the example of American Idol proves that America adopts the trainwreck and rides it out as far as they can laughing all the way. It was a huge mistake.

Battlestar, but they weren't going after him early. Dick liked Eric's strategizing. He wasn't a target until the banner, and if he hadn't been AP, there would've been no banner.

Kirsten, gmta!

Also, he might not've thrown so many comps if he didn't have to worry that he couldn't make his own nominations.

They should have just given America a seperate vote each week and forced no one to compromise their own personal game. It would have been interesting to see them not only try and manipulate each other but also manipulate America for that one vote.

Maybe what they could do next year is offer random bribes during the voting procedure. You know like how they used to try to bribe someone and put the rest of the house on food restriction? Randomly draw numbers of voters, and randomly draw the names of the voters (so we know the person who goes in third after ball 3 is drawn wasn't just handpicked by CBS.) Then, offer that person $1,000 to allow America to vote in their place. Next year, they'll be on the alert for an "America's Player" so this way they all know what's up and can try to figure out who (if anyone) took the bribe and let America vote in their place. It'd be even funnier if the bribe taker wasn't told how America was going to vote!

Well for one America's Player cannot be repeated in next season, it created a precedent and it won't work because everyone in the house will know someone is AP.

What they could do is to have America's Pick instead of America's Player, meaning just an extra vote coming from the public and the BB hgs knowing about it, and keep things interesting, and keep the hgs guessing how the vote will go... that would be interesting.

The biggest problem with America's player is having an America's player. I wish they would QUIT with all of these "twists" and just play the darn game.

I would like it if they did it the way they did it the first year (and the way the whole rest of the world does it) and have the players nominate and America vote out.

Oh Alisons,

I just wished you were the Alison's BB producer with your better ideas.

From my perspective, the only flaw with America's vote is the confusion from the viewers


Should we play as if Eric was our fav, OR that we should use Eric to propel our favs forward?

I used Eric to propel my fav forward. It looks like most of America did the same, and everyone else is bitter that didn't fall into the majority of the votes.

I liked the concept of having AP. I think it was a mistake to have it be a HG. I imagine they put Eric between a rock and a hard place when they decided for it to be him. If he had said no they he would have never been brought him into the house. Reason being he would have known about the AP twist. So if he wanted to play he had to agree.

I am glad they won't be able to use it again. Kind of a one trick pony type of twist. Although next year I am sure all the HG's will be eyeballing each other trying to figure out who it is.

I think a better idea is to let America have their own vote every week. Be up front about it. HG's vote + America vote. That is the only vote I ever cared about anyway. I thought the tasks were lame and the nomination vote wasn't much better. Just give us the eviction vote every week.

I agree with C1mag; make the vote America's and not a player's. Also, there should be a very short time limit for voting; perhaps one hour AFTER the West Coast sees the show. We'd get a truer vote then. Also, if no player was voting, people wouldn't be voting in such a way as to ruin their game if they didn't like them.

It would help if CBS changed the way they receive votes. The way it is we "one finger number dialers" who stop with the max number of votes are at a disadvantage. There seems to be 24 hour dialing robots who use many numbers to further their cause. It did not reflect America's true wishes.
