Do you think Eric cost Jess the game tonight by not using the veto?

Question

While he is telling Jess he does not want to use the veto because they can go to the final four with Dick and Danielle they are having the conversation where Danielle is saying they have to get Jess out. She did not say get Eric out she said get Jess out. So is Eric that stupid or does he want Jess out to? Is his alliance really with Dick and Danielle?

Answer 1

YES. now, Dani or Dick might win HOH next week, backstab them, and take one of them out. Because if Dick and Dani want to be the final 2, they would need to get rid of Eric and Jess.

Answer 2

This season of Big Brother has been played differently than it usually has been played in previous seasons. Other seasons of Big Brother had the contestants acting buddy-buddy but doing deceitful things within an alliance or by themselves. The houseguests this season seem lazy and like they're not really playing the game because the anger is held on their sleeves for all to see. Plus, they're all paralyzed with fear of Daniele and Dick, why don't they just stand up and get revenge like Will and other winners did in previous games.
Anyway, to answer your question, I think that Eric cost Jess the game tonight because once they are down to the final four with E.D. & Daniele, Jess will be the very first to go. I've seen that scenario time and time before in the BB house and Dick and Daniele will be looking out for each other for one of them to win. Eric thinks he's protecting Jessica but he's doing the opposite - he should be smarter than what he looks. His alliance is really with Dick and Daniele but that won't save him or Jessica.

Answer 3

By not using the veto, Eric helped himself. Unlike Dick who has made protecting Danielle his priority, Eric's first priority is following our instructions and his second priority is protecting himself.

I am assuming because of the AP mandate, Eric could not remove Amber. More importantly, Amber is a bigger threat to Eric than Dick or Danielle. Amber has targeted Eric. Dick and Danielle have targeted Jessica.

From Eric's point of view, Amber needs to go now, NOW, NOW! Zach and Jameeka can wait.

The reality is while its a gamble, Eric is looking at the math of the Final Four. In the final four, HOH makes the final 3, POV makes the final 3, POV chooses the third person in the final 3. The only way he gets knocked out at the final four is if Jess gets HOH and Dick or Danielle get POV. If Dick and Danielle have a choice between him and Jessica in the final four, its bye-bye Jess.

Answer 4

For this week I think he knew that if he used the veto and it was Dick or Daniele against Amber or Zach, America would vote for him to evict either Amber or Zach - not D or D. There would be that mysterious vote again. Instead of being 3 to 1 to evict D or D, it would be 2 to 2 and Jess would have to break the tie.
In this way he was looking out for himself (not being accused of the mystery vote) and Jess (not making an enemy on the jury by choosing who to evict).

Now past this week, everything changes. If Eric is smart and puts his feelings aside, he will want to up against D or D in the final 2 and not Jess. Who knows if he was actually thinking this. Who wins HOH on Thursday will be very interesting and could be a good forecast of how the rest of the game will go.

Answer 5

I just think Eric's hand's are tied thanks to the stupid people voting. Also, some have mentioned here that Amber promised Danielle that she'd never vote her out so, what good would it have done for Eric to use the POV? Danielle is a much bigger threat than her father. Ideally, Jess would want to put up Danielle..so you take Amber off and put up Danielle it wouldn't even be a tie...Amber, Dick, Eric (thanks to idiots) would vote to keep Danielle in the game.

Anyone else find it fishy that Eric finally plays for the POV?? People may hate Jen, Dustin, Kail, Joe etc.. but they were all cheated this season. Danielle and her dad don't deserve to win Dick would have been gone 2 weeks ago and Danielle would be going this week if it were not for the AP crap.

Answer 6

I like Daniele and Jessica...so i wish they trusted each other. Daniele said she needed to get Jessica out because she is alligned with Jameka. Also, she is alligned with Eric. Plus, everyone likes her. Daniele knows she doesnt stand a chance against her. I think she said that because she feared that Jessica would convince Eric to put her on the block. That fear caused her to think of the long term. Also, Eric does not know that they are going after Jess now. Im sure he wants her to stay because they are alligned, and they are getting closer. So, he is mainly alligned with Jess, but he sees that Dick and Daniele can help them to the final four. ♥

Answer 7

I think Eric's alliance will be with anyone who will get him the money in the end. I think he would stab Jessica in the back in a second.

Daniele is right they do have to get rid of Jessica. Jessica is friends with most of the jury so she will get the majority of the votes if she is still there in the end.

Answer 8

jess and eric were stupid to get in an alliance with DD in the first place!
of course, eric doesn't know that DD plan to get jessica out probalby next week--if able!
jess has every reason to be nervous,but she doesn't want to get her hands dirty. if eric used it, she had to put up jameka who she is close to or DD.
i know she doesn't get dick's wrath and end up like jen. she is being a punk!!!
that's why we need to rally toghether and have zach voted out so eric won't act so high on the hog and play this game for real!

Answer 9

Jess has absolutely no brain and couldn't play that game right to save her life. She's so easily manipulated it isn't even funny. Zack of all people, who hasn't been playing the game at all, is able to convince her to backdoor Dick or Danielle. She has no business being HOH cause she can't make a decent decision if she tried.

Answer 10

I think now that Eric has Jessica`s heart on her sleeve, he would benefit by having her in the jury house to sway votes for him to win. They probably have an agreement so they can win the money. Won`t Jessica be surprised to find out that he`s AP?
