Has anyone noticed the minute that Jack left, Ericka has become a different person, all of a sudden, she has become very outgoing, she laughs, interacts with the other HG, and that mouth of hers, I have heard her say more curse words in the last 24 hours, then she has the whole time in the house. She is now finally playing the game!
When Jack was in the house, she just rode on Jack's or somebody else's coat tails. And just agreed with what ever Jack said. Now she's thinking for herself and trying to win.
If the other HG don't watch out, she'll walk away with all the money!!

I disagree... Her night of dancing by the bonfire throwing in clothing, seemed to be a changing point for her. That is when I noticed she changed, and Jack was still in the house.

One thing I think we might agree on, is WE have no idea who the REAL Erika is.

Erika is just bringing her behavior down to the level of the remaining houseguests :)

I think she and Jack were always stressed out - needing to win to keep their alliance together so there was always tension and frustration in the midst of all of those strategy sessions. Having an alliance with the other women has lifted much of that stress. They have enough of a numbers advantage that Erika can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

I think I'm annoyed at what SEEMS to be the new buddy-buddy-ness she's developed with Ali and Jun. It's been growing for days now, but the way she hugged Jun with Ali at last night's HOH comp. just brought it to life. I realize you have to be willing to make yourself over as the game shifts, Ali and Jun are proof enough of that, but I guess it's just painful for someone who's been SO loyal to her original group now "change sides."

Cliotheleo, Ali and Jun were her original group.

They were in the original 8, but they were never in that core group of Erika, Robert and David. Jun started floating early on and Ali wasn't too far behind her.

(edited to clarify, I meant Erika, JACK and David, not Erika, Robert and David.)

I dunno...seems she's playing the game to win. Which is worse, to play to win by playing on the guys and "flirting" heavily with men they admnittedly don't like or by chumming it up with women they admit they don't like? Either way, they're not being themselves for the sake of the game. Each one seems to be doing what she thinks is necessary to win. I was thinking that maybe Jack "grounded" her more than we realize and she truly tried to act in a manner that he would approve of when he was around and without him there, she's sort of gone "to the other side" behavior-wise since he's not there. OR, maybe she's acting this way to try and fit in better with the girls, so they will want to keep her more than the guys. Either way, it's game play.

Oh I agree Canga. I don't want anyone to misundertand me, I'm not downing Erika for being chummy with Ali and Jun, it just weirds me out! :)

Clio, Robert was never in the original group..there is no one except the girls left from that original 8, so what should she do? She has to align with someone and the girls are her best bet considering Robert has spent the last 2 months trying to get rid of her and convinced Jee to do the same.

Oh yeah...I'm in total agreement...it bothers me to see her act that way when she's been more...um...not so "base" in her language and manner in the past. Sorta schizoid.

Earth, I'm sorry, it's late, I've had very little to eat and I had a brain fart. I meant Jack not Robert (I get all of those Kennedy names confused.)

Besides, anyone will tell you, just the mere thought of David makes my brain all muttled. :)

Like I said, I am NOT knocking her. I believe in doing anything you have to do to win the game. Just the sight of her hugging Jun was DISTURBING!!! EEEEK! (ha ha)

I think she is just on a real big high knowing that they skunked the guys..and she is BORED........

I have to agree it gags me to watch her buddy up to those two, but with Jack sob sob and David sob sob gone she is caught between a rock and a hard place....she hates Ali, she said so many times to Jack, but she wants to be in the finals with her because there is no doubt she will win the big bucks.

Kudos to Erika for adapting to the situation at hand. She's not moping over her Jack alliance leaving. She needs the "girl" alliance and the side alliance with Ali. The thing I like is everyone left in the house (excluding Robert)is really playing the game and wants to win the money. None of the b.s. from past years that "I'm just here for the experience".

Yes, I seem to recall that Clio goes way mushy-brained whenever David is mentioned. I fear if that name is mentioned too much, she will be totally incapacitated--her having a brain fart will be minor...although, mushy brains, if squeezed right, might still make a fart sound. Never gave it much thought before.

She seems to have sunk right down to Ali's level. All the back biting comments aimed at Jun tonight? Just makes me go ICK!!!

LOL! Yeah Canga, I'm already starting to drool all over myself again. :)

David david david david david david david david
David david david david david david david david
David david david david david david david david
David david david david david david david david

Sorry, just seeing if Clio would go mushy brained so we could experiment and see if her brain would still fart.

This got me to thinking.. all this *game play* that the HG have to go thru, must be soooo hard and stressful, to have to be on your lieing toes 24/7, and have to try and find something to talk about all day long, and have to tell one lies to this person, and then turn around and tell lies to that person, all the while, trying to keep yourself from eviction. then if thats not bad enough, you have to remember which lies you told to which person.
Oh, almost forgot, being hungrey from the PBJ diets.

(due to low blood sugar as the result of her stupid ultra-low calorie diet and the over-use of the word "David" Clio goes into a coma........)

All I can say Gina is "when in Rome." She has to look at the big picture and if that means laying in the mud with the hogs...so be it.

Cliotheleo

"laying with the hogs" ........... interesting analogy :)

(and the strange thing is I'm actually ROOTING for Ali, got this love/hate thing going on with her)

Yep...if ya wanna win, ya gotta play. I know I would not be cut out for that game. I can feel an ulcer coming on just imagining it.
