Especially last night when she asked Boog if they were still making that baby. I love a girl that can laugh at her own mistakes! If she is still furniture, it is nice furniture with all the bells and whistles!

I have to say-- after reading the recaps and watching Tuesday's show my faith in the female gender has been renewed. I hope that Erika gets the pleasure of evicting her sperm donor as well, it would make this season! If he was so stunned to see Janelle evict Will, imagine how shocked he will be to see someone who was saying she would have his baby a mere week ago evict him!

BWAHAHHAHAHAHAH!

Hey, if we can't laugh, who can?

I loved Erica in S4 and was really happy that she made BBAS. Yes, it took a LOT for me get over that she once liked ROBERT, but back then I just figured she made a mistake and learned. Erica was my "go to" girl, i.e., once Janie was evicted I would start loving Erica again. Then, she kissed Booger.

Like I said somewhere else, I lost all respect for her. I then surmised the girl was really stupid.

I have to say she really impressed me the past few days. Her game play was excellent. Revenge is sooo sweet. I was a little wary as to how committed she was to Janie until I saw that DR she left for Will -- you GO girl. That has got to be one of the best "bye bye bitches" ever. Yeah, she looked haggard but the sentiment -- RAW and so freakin honest AND sarcastic!

I really have to give her props, she knew how, when, and who to play. That's how you save yourself when you have one foot out the door… Dani. Erica actually out-played Dani! She didn't get drunk, she didn't confront, she didn't ring the doorbell 171 times. She honed and owned.

Just when she redeemed herself...the tide turns. After Boogie wins the second competition, she actually spills her guts to him. Tells him way WAY too much and looks like she is going to flip on Janelle.

Time will tell is this is a play or her biological desperation is getting the better of her. All I can say is, it had better be strategy.

Puh-leeze...make her the actress of the season!

This is not good. No way is Erika going to take Janelle. I knew it all along. Now I'm back to hating her.

Can you imagine how upset she'll be with herself if she flips back to Boogie and then finds that he really was playing her all the time. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me."

Dorkwad.

I'm wondering though... Is she just *pretending* to buy Boogie's lies again as an excuse to not take Janelle to the F2.

If she does take Boog to the F2, I doubt any of them will give her a vote. It will be like, "You found out that he was lying and you took him anyway? Not only are you a backstabber, but you're too stupid to be trusted with the winnings."

One word: Patheticdesperatebackstabbinglyingbitch.

I think Erika's conversation with Boobie was her looking for reasons to take him over Janelle.

And I believed in her. IT HURTS!!!

I hate to say this, but if she takes him to F2, I'll be rooting for him. Oh look! Human Sacrifice, Dogs and cats living together!
Please Erika! Don't Flake!

As much as it KILLS me to admit, if Erika wants a chance at first place she should bring Boogie.

I think it would be better for her mentally to bring Janie-- because eventually she will learn the whole truth about Boogie...... I have some fear she will throw the comp so Boogie evicts Janie, and she floats into the final 2, "blameless".

PART of me feels she deserves the $$, because of what was done to her on national television. I feel bad about it for her. But watching her evict Boogie would be the best DOOG TV of the season, and would be empowering for her.

IF she is just laying the groundwork for Boogie to pick her over Janie IN CASE Boogie wins this HoH, that seems fair. As long as she tries to win, and kicks him out if she does.

Awe man! This is not a happy morning. Is it at all possible she's doing her best to make sure he throws the competition to her?

I mean if she betrays Janie she can't possible get her vote. She doesn't have Will. No way Dani votes for her if she doesn't follow through on the girl's alliance. Howie will do what Janie asks. Erika is going to lose if she takes Mike.

Maybe....just maybe....she's just hedging her bets in case he beats her? I refuse to believe she wants to take him if she wins it.

She won't get Janelle's vote even if she doesn't scumbag her. Janelle told her straight-up Tuesday night that if Boogie was in the finals, she'd have to vote for him. Which, that alone should convince Erika that she's going to lose to Boogie, so she might as well shoot for the better storyline. I think the best she can do against Boogie is 5-2. And that's if she manages to throw HoH so he can be the bad guy and kick out Janelle. If she CHOOSES Boogie? I honestly think she'll lose unanimously.

Well she absolutely won't beat Janelle in the F2, so in her mind her only shot - no matter how small it is - will be to go against the Assclown.

What she should be thinking about - and what all these famewhores DO think about - is how this show will help them achieve more notoriety. In that sense, Erika should be looking at what makes her look good, and (I hate to say this) what makes DOOG TV.

Taking Booger to the finals after her "girl power" moment? Does not make her look good, and is not DOOG TV.

Riding the V-Town alliance to the end and losing to one of the most dominating players in the game for two seasons going? Makes her look good, and is DOOG TV.

There's no shame in going to the F2 with Janelle even though she'll get creamed. There is a TON of shame in choosing to take Booger to the F2, if she wins HOH.

She could very well be trying to set up Booger to take her to the F2 if he wins HOH; I think he would anyway. He has a much better shot at winning if he's against Erika.

Really, the smartest thing for Erika to do is covertly throw part III of the HOH to the Assclown. Then he's the "bad guy" who evicted Janelle - Erika could hope that might give her a better chance of securing Janelle's (and by extention, Howie's) vote.

What a difference a day makes. Yesterday morning was filled with elation and excitement that the ladies of the house had taken back their power and were giving as good as they got. Yesterday was all about the Bunny, bitch! And now this morning here I am with this sick feeling in my stomach. Could Erika really be stupid enough to revert back to her pathetic Booger adoring self after all she's heard the past couple of days?? Sorry but she's got some serious mental issues if she is truly rolling over for him.

This is what I keep thinking. With all the talk she did to the cameras over the last couple of days even when she was alone - she has to know going to final 2 with Janie will be far better for her reputation and might earn her respect and love from fans. Like I said $50,000 and respect is a hell of a lot better than $50,000 and humiliation.

She could try throwing it to Mike, but she better do it damn well. I think Janie will still vote against her if she thinks Erika threw it. She's so much better off just winning and kicking his butt to the curb.

Does Erika think she actually has a chance winning with Booger F2? I can't think of anyone who would vote for her, since they all think she is the biggest floater of the season. She's so much better off taking Janelle and keeping what's left of her dignity. If she doesn't take her, omg, I will be so PO'd. Seriously.

I'm not losing hope yet. I still think she'll go for that HoH. But we can't blame her for making sure that Boogie takes her if he does happen to win. But ultimately, I think Erika knows that both Boogie and Janelle beat her. Janelle's even said several times in the last day that she would have to vote for Boogie in a F2 situation. That alone should tell Erika how the votes are going to fall. Especially with Will in there campaigning for Boogie too. The jury may look at Boogie as just Will's mindless minion, but they look at Erika as Boogie's mindless minion, and how much worse is that?

I have a feeling BB will be pumping Erika up with Girl Power serum in the DR and trying to figure out how they can best slant this HoH towards her. Questions on Kaysar's thoughts on love? CG's checkers strategy? Marcellas' beauty regime?

That's exactly what I'm thinking merlynn. At this point, Erika has to know that she can't do any better than second. But if she has a slim chance of winning, it's against Janelle....not Boogtard. She needs four votes to win, she doesn't get Dani's, Janelle's, Will's, or Howie's automatically. She's toast.

That being said, Erika has got to make sure Booger doesn't win the final HoH. I can't think of a better way to do that than to convince Booger that she's gonna take him to F2. That way, he'll do what he always does, throw the comp and Erika can put him out on his ass. Remember, Janelle and Erika discussed the other day that they both needed to keep playing Booger so that he'd throw it.

I have to believe the plan is still a "GO".

I thought the final 2 of Maggie & Ivette was bad--this will be even worse because I never thought Erika could be trusted. Janelle should have done better. Now she's sunk. Erika--you're a bitch and I hope you lose to your worse nightmare--Mike Booger.

Okay, I just got finished reading the recaps from last night. I take back everything I said in my previous post (that's what I get for not reading before opening my mouth).

I have thus come to the conclusion that the ErIcka we've seen the last couple days was Sayanythingtosavemyassicka, and that she never had any intention of honoring her deal with Janey. It was just one big spool of lies. I bet she doesn't even have a mother, or a family. The only good thing that came out of this whole ordeal is that she go Janelle to see the light and evict Will. That had to be done.

Tonight, the joke will be on ErIcka. Booger is setting her up big time. He's telling her they should just play the final HoH straight up. Yeah right. Booger is going to throw this comp like it's his JOB. This will make ErIcka have to evict Janelle and be the bad, spinless witch that she is, thus sealing both of their fates. Tonight will be a battle of who can tank the HoH comp the best.

And Exoskelecka shall be ostricized for all eternity.

Unfortunately, she just told Mike that she would have to throw the competition to him because of her promise to take Janelle to the F2.

As most of you know from reading my recaps, I like Janelle. However, I would not have a problem with Erika at all if her decision to screw over Janelle was because she thought she could beat Mike in a F2 vote.

However, it seems that she is doing this because she has a future with Mike. If so, she has moved a couple levels past pathetic (whatever that may be.) I initially had a little symapthy for her because she had just come off a 5 year relationship and was quite vulnerable. If she gets kicked to the curb by Mike, I would have a tough time feeling sympathetic at all. How many times does she have to get kicked in the teeth before she stands up for herself.

That being said, I still think that Mike is a psychotic shitheel. I hope his business partners are so embarassed by his behaviour that he is demoted to dishwasher when he returns.

I*F'ing*Hate*This!!!!

No really, Ferfe. Don't hold back.

Erika is dead to me if she throws the comp. It's not that I don't admire the "win at all costs and let the devil take the ass end slackers" but crap on toast! Do you not want revenge more than money? Have some clear set goals and priorities. Money is transitory. Getting even is forever! If Erika lets this hellborne-scum-sucking-POS-asshat-m'thr-f'ing-waste-of-a-gd-recapping-brain-cell play her AGAIN then I am right there on the kill switch with HWG.

As you were.

I think Janelle may be sensing what's going on...she really isn't interacting with Erika...or trying to plead her case.

As for Erika, she will get what she deserves if she decides that Mike the Fuckwad cares about her. The only justice is that she will have plenty of people who will point out to her (on the street, in the grocery store etc) that she made a dumb ass move.

She was hanging on to her dignity (barely). After she sees the video, she will be checking into the closest psych ward.

*shaking my head in disgust*

Typical desperate, no self-esteem, need a man to make my life complete woman.

The clue has slapped her, her dignity has left the BB House and all she will be left with is her barren uterus.

How do you really feel Ferfe?
I guess 500 g's is a lot of money and self respect can be bought.

I am considering a West Coast move if she does take Boog over Janelle just so I can be one of "those" people.

That's it.

Scrubika, your skanky bone ass is dead to me. I would have been okay with you winning if you had been on the up and up, but you're a shifty, pathetic excuse for a human being.

Oh well. I guess this means I can finally quit watching and go back to doing real things with my life.

Dumb Scrubika.

The only brightside to all of this is that I now feel that Janelle was 100% justified in her distrust and annoyance with Erika. I have to admit that even with my enormous Janie love, I kind of had to concede to the accusations of women-hating with regards to Erika. But Janelle has said over and over that Erika is scummy and just sucks up to whoever's in power and that she never keeps her word, and yeah...Janelle, you were right. If only you had been able to dump her one of the three times you put her ass on the block.

I didn't want to dislike Erika because I liked her in season four (though I did stop watching before it was over - that was a boring season). And I can't hate her just for scumbagging Dani and possibly Janie.

But I can hate her for being an idiot and having absolutely no self-respect. Ok fine, maybe she really did think she couldn't beat Dani. But the only way she has a chance in hell of winning is to be the one that took out CT. If she can say that, she might win some jury respect.

If she goes up against Mike and loses, she's going to need every penny of that $50,000 for theropy.

My HOPE for what Erika is doing is just building Booger up for a fall when she goes balls-out in the comp and crushes him, just to show him up. That's what I'm hoping for.

What I fear in retrospect, is that even her move to get WIll out was just another wimpy stab at self-preservation, which just coincidentally clicked something in Janey to realize she was getting played. In which case Janey really deserves all the credit for the Will eviction. If what we see on the surface today is reality, then Erika has done just what she has done the whole game - sucked up to whoever is in the power position. In which case, she hasn't really learned a thing or had any great insights whatsoever. And that would be a tragedy, really.

Since if she goes to the jury with Booger, she'll be shown as a wavering floater just like she always was, and get creamed in the vote. She would have a better chance with Janey, since she can at least say she took part in turning around the game.

Erika:

1) I reinstate everything nasty that I took back about you a couple of nights ago. In fact, I am thinking of going back over my recaps and adding some additional vitriol because ... well, you deserve it.

2.) Remember I laid off snarking on you a couple of nights ago when you were thinking of chugging a second Metamucil cocktail??? Well, this is what I was thinking:

Maybe Erika is trying to shit a brick!

Get it? Shit a brick! GET IT??

3.) I usually leave any creativity for making up names for your future husband to be, ferret-face (aka Boogie.) I prefer perjoratives.

But, this is a special occasion:

Cluelessica, Thinkingonlywithmyloinsica, Imreallyreallystupidica, IdidntknowMikehada3inchdickica, DontcomerunningtomewhenMikedumpsyoulookingtocryonmyshoulderica.

4.) Lastly, you have accomplished what I did not think was possible. I have to root for ferret-face to win the money; and I hate myself for it.

Any trace of respect I was prepared to have for Erika disappeared with the "throw the comp" plan. I would have been pissed at her for scumbagging Janey, but if she just did it, and owned it, for 450K, I could deal. I mean, I'm not even sure I'd do anything different if confronted with that choice-- that's a lifechanging amount of money. If that's the choice as she sees it, and not some pathetic famewhore desire to be some kind of F2 power couple.

But to not fucking be able to stand up and own it-- to throw it and pretend she had no choice-- she's an embarrassment to vajayjays everywhere. Janey so outclasses her.

If Erika loses, Janey's going to know she threw it. She just spent some time building Erika up, telling her she's better than Boobie at this stuff.

ETA: I want to believe Erika's considering her options at this point, and I can't fault her for that. But her demeanor indicates she's back on the haggard, desperate, pathetic side.

I'm gonna have to go with paraphrasing a classic Saturday Night Live line . . . Erika, you ignorant slut!

It's just wrong on so many levels. Erika wouldn't even be in a position to "throw her under the bus" if Janelle hadn't agreed to evict Will instead of Erika. I know, I know, it's a game and it's strategy, but it stinks. Not to mention she swore on her mother and promised, promised, promised!

And to choose Boogie over Janelle to get the money?? Because she won't get it regardless. Is she that dumb that she believes Boogie after everything she and Janelle discussed? I just don't get it.

For Erika, "pathetic desperation with nary a sliver of self-esteem" is the new black.

Recaps are reporting that Erika is talking to herself, saying, "I've gotta win this HoH" and "Gotta evict Boobie".

If she loses this comp, I'll never believe it wasn't on purpose.

Yeah, I'm too cynical, because as soon as I saw that, my first thought was, "She knows the entire internet wants to kill her right now so she's setting it up to claim that she legitimately lost when she tanks HoH tonight."

Preach it. That's EXACTLY what I thought. Too late, Lieslikearugicka. We're onto you.

I jumping on this bus. And I hope Booger throws her underneath it so we can enjoy the ride. We're not stoopid, NomanwilleverwantmebecauseImtoostupidtoprocreateicka!! A plague on your house!

I hope Scrubika DOES win the final HoH. Then when that stick bitch kicks my lovely Janey Doll to the curb, we'll get to hear ALL about how mean the Jury was to her, AND, for an added bonus, we'll get to read about her breakdown after the show, when she realizes she's nothing but a useless combination of sad, scary genes.

Or maybe she'll actually take Janelle, and then I revel in the win of my Janey Doll.

She might have been panicking over the possibility of Boobie taking Janey, too, considering they were bonding over a haircut at the time of Erika's monologue.

Okay, I'm just going to put this out there:

IF, and I do believe it's a IF, Igotplayedtwicebyabuttmonkeycka is really doing a number on Boogtard and is sticking to the deal with Jedi Janey, then I wouldn't mind seeing her win the whole thing cuz that would be a nice piece of acting there and very deserving of the title: Big Brother All Star Winner. But I'm not going to count on it.


Font manipulation? Oh Captain! - Gryn

I think she's seriously considering throwing the HoH comp and/or scumbagging Janey. She probably won't make up her mind until the last possible second.

I think that no matter what Erika has just lost ALL possibility of redeeming herself.

If she looses now- everyone will know that she threw it for her homance.
If she wins and takes Boogie- homance AND doesn't think much of the mother she SWORE on.
If she wins and takes Janie- we all know the only reason she decided to do so was because Boogie asked Janelle to cut his hair and jealousy effected her decision when reason could not.

It's funny if you think about it. Well, not so much funny as pathetic, vile, nauseating and downright lowest scum of the earth that she is.

Ummmmm, sickmothErika....ignore the above! You are still furniture. The kind one finds on the side of the road. It has been thrown in the trash because a family of cats pissed on it and a large dog with fleas slept on it. I hope you are pregnant with the devil's spawn! And, you are a lying skank whore!!!!!

eta: quit talking about Chicago because we hate you

Which is why she is no longer a Vajayjay to me!

She is a Cooter!
a skank Cooter with Cooties!

Either way, she put herself in a pretty tricky spot. Because of her dealings with Boogard last night, and not letting Janey in on it, she's forced herself into a "must win" comp if she has any hope of redeeming herself. If she loses, there's no way we are gonna believe she didn't throw it, even if she didn't.

Sorry MrsG. Those buttons up there are so nice and purrdy!

I hate slimerika. What a trick. Booger needs to throw some money at her the next time he attempts to ride her bony ass for services rendered.

A stupidgardenvarietydesperateagingeggneedyskelator who gives misogynistic pigs permission to treat her like the WHORE that she is.

Too late...

Moved from recap thread - Gryn

OK, I HATE HER, HATE HER, HATE HER. Really.

However, she DID play the last couple of days and I have to give her that. I hate it, but I have to.

I oddly enough hope she wins, only because of the other choice.

FUCK!

Here's my thought: Erika is playing this so that Boogie still thinks they're cool so that he doesn't unload a bunch of vitriol towards her to the jury. If Boogie thinks Erika is on his side, he'll take it easier on her. If she was openly all "I was willing to forfeit $450,000 to spite you", he would go out of his way to a) make the next five days hell for her and b) be unnecessarily nasty towards her to the jury. I think she's trying to relax her victim, so to speak. Erika is close when it comes to jury votes; she just needs one more, and Janelle is presumably leaving the house with a positive opinion of Erika, which she will pass on to jurors such as Danielle and Howie. Personally, in her shoes, I would not have admitted that to Mike, just because he can call her on that during the jury questioning, and she NEEDS the votes from Janelle and Howie. If she can keep them on her side, she wins. If she loses them, Boogie wins in a landslide. She NEEDS to act like she's genuinely sad that she wasn't able to win and take Janelle, and Mike NEEDS to call her on that in front of Howie and Janelle.

Now, the million dollar question: did Erika deliberately tank that competition? She'll NEVER admit it. At the same time, is Erika REALLY, truly, dumb enough to turn down a chance at a half-million dollars? Against Boogie, I feel she has at least a 60% chance of winning, whereas up against Janelle, a shutout loss was not inconceivable. She's not Ivette. If she had won, I imagine she would have taken Janelle. I also think that she took steps to ensure that this situation would not arise and capitalized on Janelle not participating in the final HOH round.

Erika's endgame reminds me of that of a Survivor competitor: Vecepia Towery off of Survivor: Marquesas. Now, the odds were against Vee. Paschal and Neleh were tight, and she could never beat Kathy in a final vote. Vecepia managed to create a situation where she had an opening: she got Kathy to split up the tight pair, and then threw the final competition to Neleh (the one she had a chance of beating) to unload Kathy, and managed to win it all.

I'm not thrilled with Erika's actions this season, but, all the same, I probably have more genuine enthusiasm towards the prospect of her winning than any of the finalists of the past three seasons. I thought that she had kissed her chance to win goodbye when George left the house, but she's kept herself in the game, and she has a very good chance of winning it all provided she can keep Janelle and Howie from being mad at her. And her endgame has been completely awesome. She's been a badass, more than I thought her capable of.
