I voted for Erika.

She has a very special bond with her Mom (lives next door etc) and I think she's earned it.

Vote Alison. I think it would be hilarious for her to get a letter from her *snort* boyfriend.

I also voted for Jee. Of all of the HGs, he has been the one who seems the most homesick.

Erika is going to win this hands down. I voted for Erika too.

I too voted for Erika. She deserves this more than anyone else in there.

I voted for Jun, 'cause I'm weird (and I like Jun!).

Wouldn't mind Jack winning; don't see the point of Erika winning if she's getting a letter as HOH anyway. Justin will be able to communicate with love ones soon enough (if it's true that sequestered HGs get some contact with relatives). I wouldn't vote for Alison to get a bucket of water if she were on fire. Jee, I don't care about one way or the other. I can see why people like "soft-spoken Jee", but "macho powertripper Jee" gets on my nerves. I'm sure he misses his family and girlfriend, but I wouldn't pick him for a reward over anyone else.

As for Robert, I don't know. If his tears are to be believed, he does love his daughter. But I can't help but feel that a misogynist can't possibly be that good a father. If the reward were that the HG got to WRITE a letter, I might go for Robert, because his daughter is young and probably misses her dad. But I can't see rewarding him.

On second thought, I think I would love to see Jun get the letter. I really think it would be hilarious for her to get all excited about getting a letter from Bob, only to find that it's one from her parents. She would be crushed. She strikes me as one of those types of people who are embarrassed of their parents. Especially in her case if they are old-school Korean.

Robert writing a letter to the daughter could be interesting too....

Dear Daughter,

You know I love you and wouldn't be away from you so long except this is a real chance for daddy to win some money so I don't have to live at my grandma's any more. Just be good and tell that b*tch ho of a mom that she's not getting ONE RED CENT because that's all women want from men anyway.

Love,

Daddy

Sorry, I just can't get past the nasty stuff this guy says on a regular basis. Forgive me.

Since I really want to see if BB can find Bob, I hope Jun wins some kind video message from home, and that it is from Bob, and he says he still loves her and wants to be with her. I'm sappy :)

I voted for Jun too Guinevere (we are both weird). I've liked her from the beginning and I love her sense of humor. Plus, I really felt sorry for her when they showed that clip last night with her talking about Bob. .

I didn't vote for Erika- because she won HOH- and she will get a letter and pictures this week. I voted for Jack once, Robert once, and Jun twice- so far.

Wow, a lot Robert hate out there and seeing it put toward his relationship with his daughter is pretty sad.

The girl is 7 years old, it doesn't matter if her father is a cold blooded killer that little girl loves her Dad. And saying only the reciever of the letter gets anything from it obviously has never been a 7 year old away from a parent. Just being able to tell her Dad she misses him and loves him is a big deal to a kid. (i know as i was rasied by my Grandparents and longed for my mom everyday, good or bad she was my mom and writing made it seem like we werre still connected and part of each others life)

It sounds like Robert has a lot of contact with her, since he talked about taking her to school and stuff.

And to say he doesn't deserve a letter because he chose to be away from her...that's just ignorant as they all made that choice so none of them would deserve to hear from anyone if we went by that logic.

If you can't force yourself to vote for Robert than I have to say the other person who deserves it is Jee, as he has talked about his girl everyday.

hmm... Didn't notice any "hate" going on at all. Anyways, I think the true family man and father should get the vote. That goes to Jack. What guy. He's a class act!

I don't think that Robert gets any contact with his daughter while he's in the house, so how will she know if he reads it or not? Any benefit she gets from being able to send him a letter is the same whether he reads it or not. She won't know, will she?

I just find it hard to reconcile Robert's hateful remarks about women with his tearful complaints about missing his daughter. I realize she doesn't hold "the woman's" place in his life but the things that he's said make me feel that (1) she's better off not spending too much time with him, and (2) he is so self-centered that I look at everything he says, including his protestations about missing his daughter, with an extremely jaundiced eye.

I am setting up a Java Server to automatically vote for one person at a high rate of speed. I am taking a poll on who that one person should be. All HGs are eligible except for Robert and Justin.

Mystery-- the show will air which HG got the letter and show them reading it, that would be how she would know Daddy got her letter.

funny Xarph did you do the same for AI this year?

Urgh. Would other people let a 7-year-old watch Big Brother? I know I wouldn't. I sure wouldn't want them to hear Jee's language even with every other word bleeped out, or see people stripping in the back yard even under the cover of bubbles. Add in the general childishness of the behavior in there, and nope, wouldn't want a 7-year-old to watch that show.

If Robert's daughter is watching, I hope it's only on a tape someone has carefully screened first.

AI?

Last year and all previous years required a $1.00 phone call. This is the first time they have internet voting for something official.

I do, however, mess with all sorts of internet polls - mostly political. Never trust and Internet poll.

American Idol

with the voting questions your little java server is what all voting shows try and prevent because it's cheating. It is one reason why America no longer votes on evictions for BB.

I don't recall internet voting for BB. I thought it was a phone call. I remember Georges wife getting a little help from someone in that area. A.I voting system STINKS!

they still can set up programs that do auto repeat dialing, same primiss as the internet java program.

And C1 I will stand up and say.. I AGREE WITH YOU on the AI voting..total joke, total rip off of the loyal viewers (which is why i won't be watching or voting next time..what's the point it's pre-ordained anyway)

"Last Comic standing" had great voting..three times by phone and three times by internet..very fair.

It would not be very smart of me to set up a high speed automatic vote machine where each vote cost me $1.00. I ain't Bill Gates.

"AI voting" = voting for American Idol

I'm not so sure they are not going to prevent you from voting in the manner you intend. Someone obviously messed with the Amazing Race popularity polls on the CBS site. So much so that they changed the way you vote for BB. You now have to vote for each houseguest individually, there is no "click here to vote again" button.

The Amazing Race polls are a joke, there's no way somebody like David and Jeff could shoot up 40 points in popularity in one week.

I kind of disagree with tampering with polls, I'd like to see the results be accurate. But do what you have to do.

And psstt.... vote for Jack or Erika!
