Last night Eric played in his first POV competition of the season. Surprisingly, he won. Jessica, the current HOH, and his seemingly real showmance, was catching a lot of flak from Jameka and the two nominees, Amber and Zach. All three wanted her to kick Daniele out and neutralize Dick’s strength in the house. Dick and Daniele are a strong alliance.

Jessica saw that this would be a great opportunity to split the pair up. She and Eric discussed it, but Eric said no. He kept the nominations the same. We agree with Zach and Amber that he was an idiot. Eric said in his final diary room message of the broadcast that he did it “for America” because America obviously wants Amber out.

Sure, we’re sick of Amber’s crying and her whining and her misguided God talk. If she blesses God one more time, we’re going to scream. The Almighty doesn’t need her blessing.

However, Amber, despite what other hamsters have said, is not that threatening, at least not yet. She hasn’t won a POV (we don’t think) and we know she hasn’t won an HOH. Dani, on the other hand, has won most of the POVs and two HOH crowns. Like Janelle Pierzina before her, this blonde bombshell is one dominant player.

Besides, Dick and Daniele will turn their back on the deal they made with Jessica and Eric. If it comes down to a final four with Jessica, Eric, Dick and Danielle, well, our money’s on Dick and Danielle to go to the final two. Dani, of course, would win in a heartbeat. Even if she’s mad at her dad, she knows he’s the best person to take to the final two with her.

Instead of backdooring Dani with a clinch vote, Eric chose to keep the strongest player in the competition. This is almost as dumb (almost) as Dustin’s decision to put himself up as the pawn a few weeks back.

Pack your bags, Zach!
