Pie Posted August 15, 2007 Share Posted August 15, 2007 If Eric accepts Dicks offer, he will earn some respect from the views, but also has no chance at winning the game.If He declines he has a much better shot at winning because his side won't turn on him untill much later.

ccmaguire Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 If He declines he has a much better shot at winning because his side won't turn on him untill much later. When it goes down to the 5, he is the first one they want out. He can put himself highter in position by switiching "teams". Plus, who would the other side gun after? Most likely they would go after Dick first. Jess is in the best position because the holy roller girls will still need her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GingerSnaps Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Unless BB gives him some "special" help as they have done for others...he's basically screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilchie Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Eric's good people alliance are all ready to turn on him, and give him the boot. Plus, none of them have the power to offer him any real security from the block in the next week. Jam can't play, Whamber is, well, assumed to be worthless, Jess can't play, and if Dustin stays, and wins HOH, he'll put up Eric quicker than you can say jackrabbit! Eric really has no other play here. The upside is he gets to carry Jess with him for another week. And no matter whether D/D turn on him, it's his job to play the game, try to win comps, and keep himself safe! And not depend on others to do it for him. Eric gets farther with D/D. Even if he can't trust them, he can play against them, and hope to win. If they stand behind their promise of a safe week for him, that's more than he'd get if he kept Dustin. If Dustin stays, Eric is the good people target. And if that happens, what's left of the D/D alliance will have no reason to keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrystAMC Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I'm sure with as many posts as there are in this thread this has probably been said But Eric REALLY needs to shut up when he is ahead in a conversation. He will have Jess agreeing but still keep talking. I think the more he talks the more Jess changes back and forth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilchie Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Exactly! Shut up Eric! Know when the convo is going your way, and shut up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodoubt575 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Eric is pitching against Dick. I'm sorry, but unless we voted for Dustin to go....he shouldnt be doing this, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrystAMC Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I think he is trying to pitch both so it seems like he "looks at both sides" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexie Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 O.K....he has pitched for Dustin to stay long enough...now it is time to get back to why he needs to leave.it is not that hard to influence Jes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nodoubt575 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Unless Eric has a "change of heart" and goes along with pitching Dustin, I am done voting for his AP tasks. I mean, he deff. wanted Nick to go and didn't pitch to get Kail out, I kinda disregarded that because the whole group was against him, but this time he has blatant opportunity to get the person America wants evicted to really BE evicted; Eric is ignoring what America wants, and that isnt very fitting of "America's player."

megamoviejohn Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Eric needs to go, he hasnt even tried to get Dustin evicted. This is his easiest task yet but he just sits there and talks to Jess saying how he is sooooo unsure and he wants to do whatever jess wants to do. I haven't posted here but watching the live feeds right now makes me sad. So I figured I'd just join in and say how much I hate Eric. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmaguire Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Eric just now gave Jess reasons they should keep Dustin. Thanks alot "America's Player". Eric sells out yet again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nodoubt575 Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Eric should be trying to win the game AND do America's bidding, if he was playing smart...he could pull it off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexie Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 While he was in the HOH talking to Jes he got called to DR. Maybe they will let him have it...tell him he needs to the votes to get Dus out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCS Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Eric is playing his own game.....thats why so many of us don't like him. Oh yeah.....he blabs on and on and on.....Shut up Eric!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 If Eric blows this America's Choice then I think you are going to see a very very angry America. This one is handed to him and he is trying to turn it around and keep Dustin. I won't do it but I would not be surprised if he blows off America again they will keep going after Jessica.

ccmaguire Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Weasel probably feels there is enough footage of him trying to get Dustin out. He'll just say, "Sorry America, I tried." I am all for voting for Jess if he wimps out on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zilchie Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Hi megamovie! Welllll...Eric, spent nearly 3 hours last night trying to convince Jess to evict Dustin, to go along with this new alliance, a much more concerted effort than he is making now. Of course, that was before his talk today with ED, and that may have put him back on the fence somewhat. I think it's more to do with how it will look, who gets protected if the game flips, and that he wants to make sure Jess is protected, no matter what happens. And, he wants Jess to see him as being on the 'right' side. Jess keeps asking what to do. No matter what they do, they are the two players who are openly talking about it at least. I think Eric will cast his vote to evict Dustin. I think he's doing a better job of trying to convince Jess of this, than he has on any of his other challenges. He's spending hours and hours at it! If he'd just stop talking, he'd probably lock her vote in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccmaguire Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I think Eric will cast his vote to evict Dustin He has no choice!! The objective is to convince the others, which it seems he has given up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sashaa Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Yup...I'm with that guy.(2up) He wants to screw with what we want....he is gonna be the one getting screwed...and we all know how to get to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreatXL Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 Honestly, he's screwed, because if he doesn't start to convince Jessica, he'll still be a mystery vote against Dustin. So he better stop jumping around the subject and start laying the facts out straight on why he's voting for Dustin to leave and why he won't be changing his mind on the subject.
