BB8 USA-Eric, America's Player?

Question

I am confused as to why so many people feel sorry for Eric. Please correct me if someone has facts, but I would think Eric had the choice coming into this game, and was offered the chance to be AP, which he obviously took. He had to know his methods of playing the game would be limited when he accepted this proposition. So why does everyone feel sorry for him because of this? He isn't that stupid, he had to know what could happen to him by agreeing to this position. I feel he's done as good a job in this position all things considered, as anyone else would have if given the chance. I'm curious to know if the guests in the sequestered house will be informed of his AP status prior to casting the final vote, providing he makes it to the final 2.

Answer 1

I agree with u I dont feel sorry for him he knew what he was getting into by agreeing to do this.

I dont think they told anyone in the sequestered house yet due to if he does make it to the final 2 I guess if he doesnt make it to the final 2 then they will tell everyone.
I wonder how Jessica will feel about that.

Answer 2

For some reason I think there is something we do not know about that situation yet. When all is finished could we find out he was hired by Big Brother and not really there to play the game? Just someone already getting paid not really there to win just to see how much trouble he can stir up and how it will effect the outcome of the game. I do not feel sorry for him , do not like him and certainly do not want him to win. I don't understand why people hate Amber and love this guy so much the way he talks, the weird facial movements and his constant lies is just as irritating as Amber's dramatics. I don't think the other players will find out before the vote because they want the drama of Jess voting for Eric only to find out he has used her to make money completing the AC. If he were a man he would stop making her look so stupid so he can get paid by using her feelings for him. In the end I think Jess is the one that is going to feel the worse about herself over Amber crying, Jen acting dumb, Jess is the one getting played by by that loser and when she finds out the truth she is going to feel so hurt unless she can pull off a win. Since I don't want to feel stupid I no longer vote for AC because I now know we are not the ones making the choice. I think he finally kissed her in private first because he knew he had to kiss her to get the AC money that does not make less of a JERK.

Answer 3

I don't feel sorry for Eric. He's making money just playing the game. The longer he stays in the more he stands to make. If he wins on top of it he then will take home the biggest check from BB in history (although they really need to up the money in this game).

Right now I see Dick or Dani winning. They don't want to be sitting next to anyone else in the final 2 or they won't win.

Answer 4

No the "jury" doesnt know anything of Eirc being AP. It would taint their votes. If I remember correctly, I think Kail was the last person to be told about it.

And Im nto sure if Eric decided to be AP or if it was just thrust upon him. Either way, I used to feel sorry for him, but I dont anymore. America is going too easy on him. They shouldve made him kiss Dick or Zach, that wouldve been HILARIOUS!

Answer 5

I do not feel sorry for Eric one bit. He is doing what he has to do to complete the tasks he is given and with that, comes weaving a very tangled web.

When you think about it, think of all the lies he has had to spin, *we* may be telling him what to do, but it is totally up to him to pull these things off. He has to have the ability to formulate just how hes going to accomplish the tasks he is given. That doesn't make me feel sorry for him - if anything - it shows his ability to lie, cheat and decieve as much as it takes to win in this game.

Everyone lies. No one has ever gotten ahead - been the winner - for telling the absolute truth every single time. Every player has got to spin things to their benefit to advance in the game - thats the way it works.

And there is no way the evicted HGs in the sequester house know about Americas Player - that would totally skew the outcome of who wins the half million....

Btw - the question I asked earlier - that you answered - you obviously didn't read it fully - or you would've known that ***I*** am not the disgruntled employee of CBS, I merely posted something found on another spoiler site.....

Answer 6

First off, Eric is getting big buck$ for his part in AP. Secondly, he hasn't a chance in hell in ever winning this game. If he wasn't the AP, I believe he would have been gone a long time ago.

Answer 7

morning mud, Eric has no choice on his vote, when he goes in to the DR to cast his vote I remember Julie commenting and saying Eric your vote is for _______.....and then asked him a question about if he liked America's choice on that one.

Besides Eric being a dork, I think I want him to win. He is the back stabeer he is because of America telling him who to get evicted and who to vote for. If you remember the competitions are done on the weekends and Eric looks like a backstabber because he rallies for one person and then after the weekend America tells him who to evict.

Answer 8

You know I forgot about the sequester people, I was wondering why Julie didn't tell them about Eric when they got evicted anymore. Duh, my brain must have been on break!!! Can't he choose not to go through with a task, even voting for someone? If he "fails" some of the tasks like the getting in Joe's bed thing, couldn't he just "fail" the voting task too?

Answer 9

I wasn't aware anyone did feel sorry for Eric. I have been reading and watching a lot of the feeds and blogs. I have not heard this.

Answer 10

Because Eric is not able to completly do what he wants to in the game, That is why the only reason why I would feel sorry for him.
