Jameka: votes to evict Dick
Amber: votes to evict Dick
Danielle: votes to evict Dustin
Jen: votes to evict Dustin
Zach: votes to evict Dustin

This brings us to Eric (America's player). America will vote to evict Dustin so if Eric chooses to go along with this then Dustin will be evicted 4-2. If Eric rejects this proposal from America then it will be 3-3 and Jessica will cast the deciding vote. I really hope Eric goes along with America's vote thinking Jen or Zach will vote to evict Dick. That would be awesome if Dustin was evicted this week! Jessica/Jameka wouldn't be able to compete next week in the HOH competition either virtually leaving Eric/Amber vs Dick/Danielle/Jen/Zach in the competition. I love it. Come on Eric, accept America's decision and get Dustin out!

I agree, your thoughts are bang on... On paper and for us viewers. Herein lies the problem, though: I think the wildcard is Zach in all this. He is really the only vote that I can see being swayed, but I can see the LNC swaying him. He has proven to be remarkabley easy to win over in the past, and, looking at it from his point of view, it would probably be a good choice to abandon the (what appears to be) sinking Dick/Danielle ship.

We have to remember he has no idea that Eric is America's player and so there is no way Zach can think he would ever vote to keep Dick in the house. Thus, if he has any brains at all, he will realize that with: Amber, Jameka & Eric, the worst the LNC can get is a tie, in which Jessica will break and eliminate Dick. So if you are Zach, and you have no reason to believe the Danielle/Jen vote has any hope even if you vote with them, and you are desperate to win people over, I think you have to tell the LNC you'll vote with them, positioning yourself for the rest of the game.

It's a shame, but I think that scenario is bound to happen. If only someone could TELL HIM!
