Nominations Made; Big, Big Trouble For Eric!

by soonerryan on August 4, 2007

There is big, big trouble tonight for America’s Player.

Thanks to planes flying banners (speculation), evel Dick figures out that Eric was the second vote against the LNC each of the last two weeks. Of course, Eric was merely following the orders given to him by America.

In one video posted below, the Dick at Night show is back, and Dick rants about realizing Eric’s disloyalty to the group. He talks with Jessica, who states (hopefully feigning) her state of furiosity with her supposed friend.

Then in another video posted below, Dick blows up at Eric — and for the first time all season, somebody stands up to the evel Dickmeister.

Eric says, “Don’t ever yell at me again!”

“I’ll yell at you as much as I f***** want,” Dick said.

“And you’ll be marching your way out the f****** door,” Eric responded.

“OK, you gonna do it?” Dick asked.

Wow, I sure hope Big Brother has a grand consolation prize for the 27-year-old New Yorker who, by all accounts, seems like a terrific guy because, yo, they have screwed him something fierce if those banners gave away his situation.

My understanding is that banners flew in reading something about Eric being a liar. Not sure, but Big Brother has instructed houseguests not to look up at them. My question is this: Where are the banners to counter this? Perhaps a banner can fly by giving away Eric’s America’s Player secret to give him a second chance here.

I gotta tell you. This has me a tad upset, well, as far as one can get upset at a reality show. It’s not like it’s life or death, but Dick’s control of the house emotions and his grip on the discourse among its houseguests is downright tyrannic. Dick is quickly becoming my Big Brother nemesis.

No surprise, but Daniele nominated Jen and Kail. It was so obvious who she’d pick that, according to a conversation between Daniele and Dustin at about 11:10 BBT Friday night, everybody in the house laughed as the nominations were being doled out.

According to that same conversation, Daniele said that if Jen or Kail were removed from the block that she would likely nominate Zach. However, we all know how that went last week. Then Daniele noted her intention to help evict a woman from the house, given that men have gone the past three weeks.

Things are not bright for Eric right now, particularly because he is in Dick’s crosshairs. My secret, double-secret hope is that he can lure Dick into doing something extremely stupid, resulting in his dismissal by Big Brother.

What Eric has not done is run to Kail or Jen or anybody outside the LNC to begin negotiations. In fact, his discussion with Dick was still quite logical from his perspective. And it’s not that I ever thought America’s Player would survive a competition like this, but I — and I think many of you — have gotten to the point where Dick’s tyranny and meanspiritedness have gone past competition into something more unsettling.

PoV is set for Saturday, and Jameka is again playing. I bet she doesn’t play so hard this time, and I am really hoping that none of the nominees comes off, if only to save Eric to do battle for a week or two more. Hey, if he’s the one guy who will stand up to Dick, then I hope he’s in the house long enough to make Dick even more insane than he already is.

Last night during the HoH competition, Dick said that America cheered from coast-to-coast when he poured tea on Jen’s head.

I think he’s got that wrong. Yet I think America and the Big Brother public will cheer collectively when this turd gets what’s coming to him. In the meantime, let’s hire a skywriter to blow the entire whistle on this America’s Player “twist” to get it all out into the open.

Kidding. But, watch the videos and let me know what you think. Does this make you as crazy as it makes me? Dr. Will was a suave gameplayer, a manipulater who made you feel great as he turned the knife into your back. While Dick was perfectly cast for this house and this show, he’s not somebody I — as a fan — can root for under any circumstance any longer.

He might be keepin’ it real, but in this case even an evel Dick is still just a dick.

I don’t think that E.D will be disqualified no matter what he does just cause he’s the only one in the house that gives the show the “drama” it needs. without Dick, the show would be quite boring to watch. In Season 4 a guy got disqualified for throwing a chair. it’s obvious that the producers know that eliminating him will probably kill the already low ratings the show has. as for the banners, it is true about one of them saying that eric is a liar. i just don’t know dick came to the conclusion

I don’t agree with you as far as Dick is concerned. He BLUNTLY states things as they are and does no sugarcoating. This is a game and he is playing it with a fierceness. He is pushing buttons and although he does berate certain people, he is doing what no other player in BB history has done and that is telling things to people’s faces rather than slinking and undermining and backstabbing from behind as others typically do. Eric needs to step back and think of how he would feel betrayed should the shoe be on the other foot. I would love to see Kail or Jen go home ALREADY !!

I also don’t think Dick is doing anything to bad. He is playing the game and it’s to win money, people do much worse things to win money. He is playing a fair game the rest are just tiptoeing around hoping nobody notices them. I do like America’s player and it’s not fair if someone flew a banner over the house. Please house guest send Jen the nimwhit home once and for all. Kail gone would also be nice.

I am feeling so sorry for Eric right now. He is playing this game at a great disadvantage. The producers almost guaranteed that he would not win this competition, when they let “America” tell him how to vote. If Eric is eliminated, it will not be due to his game play, because he hasn’t used his game play, he’s used “America’s.” I do, however, think that he needs to shut it sometimes, because he tends to talk so much that he looks like he’s trying to cover his ass. If Amerca gets to tell him how to vote, shouldn’t we be able to give him advice, too? Hook us up, BB!

As far as Dick goes, he’s a dick. He’s mean. There are people who speak their minds, and there are jerks. And he’s a jerk. I thought the same thing about Howie when he went after April. Once players start being that intimidating and agressive, I can’t stand it. Just my opinion, though. Some people like that sort of nonsense; I don’t.

Thanks for a great BB blog here! I’m glad I found it.

Hi all,
Does anyone know where the banner came from and whether the house saw it? I just saw it on Balur’s site.
I used to like Eric and Dustin prior to getting the After Dark feed. Now, I believe they are snakes and seem to be hiding behind certain house members and being fake around others.
ED and Jessica really seem to be the only true shooters. Everyone else seems to be simply talking behind each others’ backs.

It’s a game, of course they talk behind each other’s back. Dick is true to his nickname and needs to go. I think Eric will pull out of this. Jameka and Jen have not said anything mean about others. This cannot be said of anyone else. Jess is okay, her only negative comments were for Carol and she plays along when others are being negative/mean.

I totally disagree that ED is as bad a some are portraying him. I watch BB After Dark. ED is by far the most entertaining and absolutely provides the color and drama this season. As far as his hissy fits, he’s not the first houseguest to behave like that. Are you forgetting the vitriolic crossfire between Janelle and Marcellas? They hurled some pretty wicked words at one another. It’s good for ratings.

I can’t believe that many people can’t see that Dick is playing the game. It’s disarming to have someone constantly calling you out. The Nerd Herd better start worrying about who to take to the finals that they can win against. As far as I’m concerned they should want to keep Dick, Zach or Jen in there as long as possible because they just wouldn’t have the votes to win … at least not that this point. The name of the game isn’t “Let’s All Play Nice”.

I say BB would be crazy to boot Dick out of the house. I just love watching the rest of the houseguests squirm and finally show they’re true colors. Dick and Jessica are the only straight players in the game. The rest are backstabbing arses.

ED is a bit…well….a LOT crass and not very politically correct in his dealings with situations and people in the house, but at least he’s REAL. Eric and Dustin are both snakes and I would LOVE to see them and wahhhhhhh-amber gone.

Eric has his own agenda and is NOT truely America’s player. He fulfils his assignments from America only when it’s convenient for him and lines up with his agenda. He did not push hard for Kail to be voted out–cause he didn’t want her out–he wanted Nick gone and that worked better with his plan. So, I think BB and America are insane if they think this America’s Player thing is actually giving anyone a voice inside the house. Eric is a manipulator and is pathetically insincere in everything. People can say what they want about ED being a jerk, and, I can agree with them to an extent. But, he still is genuine and real. Unlike the fierce foursome proved they aren’t when they made fun of his story about his best friend’s overdose and death. Come on people…grow up and realize some things in life shouldn’t be disrespected.
