No one has anything to say about Erika? When I read her bio and saw her picture, I was all set to hate her on principle. :-) However, I found myself liking her last night -- one of the few that at least didn't make a bad impression on me.

I agree Prisoner. I liked her- but it was only the first night.

It is really hard not to make the Erika/Lisa connection but I have to agree, at least she didn't make a bad first impression. And I feel a bit sorry for her, having a sleazy ex like Robert. I would be embarrassed too to come on tv and have the viewing public know that a) I dated this loser and b) he cheated on me!

My first impression of Erika was that she reminded me of Lisa (BB3). Must be the hair thing.

So far, and I haven't seen much on the feeds, but she is flying under the radar. Most the other women are trying to draw attention to themselves.

Maybe this is an omen that Erika may be a thread down the road.

Erika reminds me visually and vocally of Lisa too. This is another one that I was prepared not to like. Mostly based on the commerical before the show started. But I am so far liking her.

Good to see I'm not the only one who likes her. I was on my own for a while last season in liking Lisa(others came around once Eric was evicted and Lisa hooked up w/Jason and Danielle). She seems cool, quietly confident, and is really understating her sexuality in a house where the younger ones are trying to play theirs up.

Erika is there to play the game, you have to respect that. If I was her I'd be dying of embarrassment I kissed a guy with such YELLOW NASTY TEETH! Ewwww! Is Robert rich? I don't see the two of them "together" am I the only one? Erika is playing the game and laying low intentionally but her personality is too strong to do that for long...TRUST ME....her real self is about to come out, and it ain't going to be purdy! Wink and smile! I personally can't wait!

I like her. She looks like she is ready to play hard and will keep out of the fray. Good strategy id she can manage it. The target on her back is huge right now.

I don't have the live feeds, so I don't understand why the other women in the house hate Erika. Did she do something to piss them off?

The only one I've heard say that she didn't care for Erika was Jun, and that sounded like pettiness to me.

Ali actually said she is starting to like Erika. Said Erika was distant at first but is warming up to everyone now.

Short, I'm not following the "I hate Erika" group thing either. What has she said or done to make such negative feelings? I must be missing alot on the feeds. Even some of the guys seem threatened by her--did you hear Justin and Robert's worried conversation about if she gets HOH?

"She seems cool, quietly confident, and is really understating her sexuality in a house where the younger ones are trying to play theirs up." Exactly, Lycanthrope.

Go Erika!

I am sure I heard someone say that Robert's Dad is Dr. Does that make HIM rich?? Doubt it. LOL.

I don't hate Erica but I think if the others were smart they would get rid of her and Nathan post haste as they are the biggest threat to win. It akways amazes me that these things never occur to the other hg's until it's too late.

I think that alot of them say they hate Erika is because they have been listening to her <> ex bad mouthing her, calling her a <> and he is in that immature, silly, little drinking clique. She seems more mature than most of them and that is threatening to them.

I like Erika! She's over 30, that's always a plus, though the hamsters see her as a threat. I feared she'd be BB1 Jordan on steroids, haha, but she's more a quiet watchful person maybe because her X is there (whom I can't stand).. She does seem a little 'beyond' the frat house mentality and the kiddies see that as acting she's 'above' them. They'd hate her if she acted like she is trying too hard to join them, a no win situation for Erika.. She's trapped in the worst BB ever, being smart and pretty and enhanced as she is, pegged the 'old lady' by kids who maybe expected her to cook & clean for everyone instead of try to play the game.. That makes me sad for her. I identify with her as an outsider..

I was put off by Ericka in the promos but she & Jack are the ones I'm pulling for now. I was puzzled at the way the other women have turned against her but I agree with Ladytex that Robert has a hand in that....and Jun & Dana turning on her doesn't help.

Like everyone else it seems, I didn't care for her in the promos but find her to be totally different then I expected. I really like her. When it comes to Jun, Alison, and Dana, I don't think they know how to relate to honest people. Erika is not going along with their gossip and distorted stories and the like. Therefore, there must be something wrong with Erika in their minds.

Am I the only one tired of watching Erika mope? I'm beginning to understand why the clique doesn't like her. Even if Robert wasn't in the house I doubt she'd be any different.

When you have fallen in love, committed your life to someone, had that person cheat on you, think you would never have to see them again, and then be thrust into their presence 24 hours a day 7 days a week, then you can talk about moping.

Look at how Scott reacted to it. A few tears from Erika seem tame in comparison.

I didn't like Erika at first but the more I watch the feeds the more I like her. The other girls are all trying so hard to be sexy and attract the guys attention and Erika is quietly playing the game. Go Erika!

Does anybody here watch The Young and Restless. I finally figured out who Erika reminds me of. The girl who played MacKensi up until a week or so ago. Not the body obviously, but the face is just like Mac.

ERIKA'S OCCUPATION?

HAS NO ONE ELSE PICKED UP ON THESE FACTS?

1. Either 2nd or third TV show Erika says she caught Rob in bed with another girl. What made it worse was it was someone she works with, she says.

2. Couple days later Rob is telling other houseguest Erika caught him in bed with a striper.

3. Little "man tease" outfits fits right in with the way strippers dress when not working.

4, Robert keeps telling houseguest, as soon as she leaves, he will tell them something that will blow their minds.

My question is what can she have on him that is causing him to keep his mouth shut till she leaves?

This couple has lots of secrets and I have'nt seen anyone on internet pick up on it yet.

Am I grasping at straws or is there some substance here?

Erika is a pilates instructor and part time bartender.

And I wouldn't believe a thing Robert says. The man is a compulsive liar.

Reading everything you've listed, Tountz, I can't help but think 'wow, what a guy!' And people wonder why she's down at having him in the house? Is anyone going to even want to date this guy after this show, lol?!
