One thing that I have to admit puzzles me a bit is all the talk about Eddie just being there to play the game etc. While he did talk about it quite a bit, there was only one actual instance where he did anything that would really be considered strategic, and that was nominating George. Everything else he did, from a game standpoint, was no different than what anyone else did in the house. Even in the final nomination, he did what everyone else did and protected the person he was closest to in the house, regardless of the rhetoric he put around it. While he did win (which I really have no issues with) I believe it was more to do with the fact that he is attractive and that he had the sympathy/"he needs the money the most" factor going for him and that is ultimately what won the game for him, not how he played it.

What was his strategy when he spent all that time sleeping and not helping? People seem to have forgotten about that. That was no strategy, that was lazy. I know why he won and it sure wasn't strategy!

I supported Eddie all along because he entertained me the most. I would rather watch him sleep or read than

Cass mmmhmmming
George Bawking
Jamie staring vacantly
Curtis laughing
Josh uhhh ?

Bottom line I never got sick of Eddie and he cracked me up on a daily basis for 3 solid months.

Now to the competing thing - I think people bring it up because he said from the beginning that he was there to win, he would get frustrated with the others when they balked at challenges because they were "mean" - JUST PLAY THE DAMN GAME! Also he didn't herd along with the rest of the sheep when they talked about splitting the money, etc.

The one breakdown he had was when The Reverend George Moon swayed him that one day:)

Eddie must be happy that all of you are still defending him, even now.

However, if you really listen to Eddie, even he admits that he failed to execut his so-called "strategy" during the early stages because he was caught off guard by how everyone in the house connected.

I guess I'm going to make Eddie even happier.
Eddie admits he is lazy but in the last few weeks he dried the dishes daily, took care of the chickens after George left and I caught cleaning the bathroom a couple of times. I saw Jamie cook but I never caught her cleaning a thing, not once.
So I can't say he was the laziest.

Because of Eddie, there was no walk-out. He also admitted he was there for the money not the experience. Sometimes he used stragety, sometimes his heart and feelings ruled, I would say this makes him human and a nice guy.

Eddie made me laugh and kept me very entertained. I searched for him everytime I watched the live feeds. Yes, he is attractive but I think Josh and Curtis are as well. He wasn't protecting his image and was not afraid to disagree with someone. The man has a tough guy attitude with a soft heart. What a great combo.

So Doc99, Judy, RMgreco and I have told you why we voted for Eddie. You said you knew why he won, Were you right?

Call it intuition or whatever you want to call it but the minute he walked into the house, I knew he was the winner. I guess I'm just psychic. :)

Eddie was washing/drying dishes back when Karen
was still there.

And he started dealing with the chickens after Cassandra left, while George was still there.

He also did the barbecuing.

And some cleaning.

The night after the three guys tied one on.. Eddie
got up early, tended to the chickens and started cleaning up. Curtis joined in for the cleanup.

My read on Eddie is that he pitches in, not to impress people, or rack up brownie points, but WHEN something really needs to be done.

Josh did dishes too, and cleaned the pool, but what else??
