I keep an eye on the updates to see if Eric is changing his mind about the veto. So far, looks like he will leave nominations as they are because they want to eliminate Amy.

There is a lot of talk about "disliking Josh" and I was wondering if they'll save Marcellas to put Josh up. But it seems that Roddy gave the word to Josh he won't. Oh what a mighty web they spin...

No!

Roddy feels an urgent need to get Amy out before Amy realizes that Roddy cheated on the HOH competition and makes a formal complaint to BB. Roddy is making a pre-emptive strike.

I don't think he will use the veto. He thinks that he and Roddy have everything under control. I am anxiously waiting for another twist to develop.

Nope. I got the impression that Eric would like to, but Roddy wants him to let the nominations stand. And Eric does whatever Roddy tells him to do. :)

By the way, I watched that HOH comp again and he may be okay, he was raising his hands at the exact same time July Chen started "I take it is your final answer" and by that time Roddy's hand was well up with the rest of them.
They should have had a buzzer instead of Julie's timing and talking, a buzzer lasts less than Julie's talking and Roddy's hand would have been still in mid-air when the buzzer stopped and he would have been too late.

I stayed out of the whole "cheating" discussion because all I can do is speculate and not add anything substantive to the discussion. If anything, I look at that particular matter as a non-issue. Not just because I can not determine whether it happened or not but also because BB would have addressed it already if they intended to do anything about it.

On whether or not Eric will use his veto, I would have to say that the only way he will use it is if Roddy asks him to because he has something else in mind strategically. Eric will not make a move without Roddy's blessing at this point.

Eric using the Veto may help him and Lisa a great deal. If he takes Marcellas off the block then Marc would feel gratful and not put him and Lisa up if he got HoH again. Of course this would require him to play the game for him and Lisa, and not play the game for LIsa, Roddy, and Chiara.

If Roddy were to have to put up another HG that would make 3 people upset with him, and for sure then 2 left in the house that would put him up first chance he got. All of this is why I am shocked a player as good as Roddy even wanted HoH.

They could have prevented even the possibility of this by having paddles that say true on one said and false on the other and putting them between dividers so they couldn't see eachother. Sheesh!

Hold it...

the question is is he going to veto, the answer seems to be no.

no need to bring the roddy 'cheating' discussion here.

Here is a link to that discussion : Roddy Cheated in the HoH Comp

Anyone have any new info on whether or not he will use his veto tonight? Or does he even talk about it?

Zachsmom - There was some whispering between Lisa and Eric last night that was difficult to make out. Someone else will have to fill you in on the details but it seemed to raise a question at the time.

I will bet a box of cheez-its, a half-full can of compressed air and a 3/4 full bottle (50 caplets!) of Tylenol that Eric will NOT use his veto.

Thanks Ryan..:)

Wcv- out of food and don't want to leave your computer huh?..

Ryn

Its assumed by all (including Amy) that Amy is gone, so why use it?

Wcv63

Zachsmom, when making a bet it is important to come up with things which may be desired by others.

Well I figure that the cheez-its would make a good live feed viewing snack, the air can be used to keep the keyboard all sparkley clean and the Tylenol....well I know I've needed to use it a number of times since BB started.

P.S. I can throw in some duct tape. Does that make my bet more attractive to anyone?

Ryn..I don't know..was hoping that Eric would actually play the game..I don't think they should give them the option of using the veto or not..I think they should have to use it..

Wcv-LOL..good points..:)

passing wcv two boxes of cheese-its..enjoy!

Watching it all last night it seemed that maybe Lisa was trying to talk to Eric about it..but there was just to much whispering to be sure.

Roddy was so in "love" with the new Amy last night, her hurt and honesty, but he still wants her out I'm sure.
He was just showing his love for her on cam so she'll see it when she gets out..IMHO

I don't think he'll use it, but if Lisa bent his ear of her fear that she may be gone if Amy don't go and Josh gets HOH, he'll put Lisa up.
If Eric really does care about her, he may waver and want to do something to save her from that.

Who knows what will happen...this is like As the VETO turns! LOL

Only if I could use the duct tape on some of the HGs mouths.

Zachsmom - If they forcing them to use the veto wouldn't work. The HOH nominates two people, but then two days later has to nominate someone else? Might as well not have the veto then.

It would be a good twist if HOH had to choose the alternate nominee at the time of original nominations (but not tell HGs who it is). Veto'er would not know if they were in line to take the place of who they save.

I do not think Eric will use veto. Roddy is leader of that twosome and Eric will not change his choices.

I agree, Texas. I don't think Eric will use his power of veto. I think Roddy is boss of that group, and Eric will accede to Roddy's wishes. I *am* hoping, however, that Eric shows some b*lls and actually DOES exercise that veto!

Nope, he won't use it. He is going to let Roddy continue to run things --like Hardy last year. And when the time is right, when there are just a few left, Roddy will be gone just like Hardy was last year.

Arrogance is always a man's downfall. They begin to believe their oiwn bravado -- that they are invinceable. Then when the chink in the armor comes, they are incapable of 1) recognizing it and 2) dealing with it. The trick for these HG's is to use Roddy's arrogance against him just like Hardy's arrogance was used against him last year.

It was good to see Hardy's get what he deserved last year. It will be good to see Roddy get his this year.
