## Player History - *Big Brother 1*

On Week 1, Eric started off with a strong social game, talking to a good number of houseguests. At the Head of Household competition, he nearly won, but was beaten by Pablo Garcia. Eric forms bonds with both Jennie Dutton and Isabella Mendez. Eric is randomly selected to compete in the Power of Veto. He wants to win in order to save nominee Damien Martin, but is unsuccessful. At the eviction, Eric votes in the minority against Cassidy Havens, and one of his closest allies, Damien, is evicted.

On Week 2, after he notices that Head of Household Brooke Burnerr is upset over missing her family, he comforts her and helps her get through it. However, after Brooke makes her nominations, she gets into a fight with him and throws a drink in his face, making him feel unsafe. After Jaivon White wins the Power of Veto and saves himself, this puts Eric on the block. Brooke, unsuccessfully, campaigns against him over the next few days. Eric survives the eviction with only 1 vote against him. The following week, Eric became the winner of the third MVP vote, and he nominated Brooke for targeting him the previous week. He becomes friends with Jaivon, after they open up to each other. Throughout the week, he campaigns against Brooke. Brooke was successfully evicted due to ruining all of her relationships during her HOH reign.

On Week 4, after his new friend, Cristina Roberts, was nominated for eviction, he becomes selected to play in the PoV competition, and is motivated to win to save her. Eric ends up winning the Veto and follows through on saving Cristina. However, this puts another friend of his, Jaivon, on the block as a new pawn. Eric voted against Cassidy to save his friend. Cassidy was successfully evicted. The following week, however, two of his friends, Jaivon and Jennie, are nominated by Joseph Coles, which puts him in a difficult predicament. Before the selection of Veto players, Joseph asks Eric if he would use the veto, which he lies about and says he wouldn't. This leads to Joseph selecting him to play with HouseGuest's choice. However, Joseph ends up winning the veto and Jaivon and Jennie remain on the block. Eric is unsure as to who to vote but ends up siding with the house and evicting Jennie.

Following Jennie's eviction, Pablo, someone who Eric is friends with, goes on to become the new HoH. His friend, Fiona Adams becomes nominated, though, next to Flynn Jackson. When Fiona wins the Power of Veto, he is excited to see his close friend off of the block, with Mariama Narayanan being put in her spot. At the Live Vote and Eviction, he votes to evict Mari. Mari was successfully evicted. Following Mari's eviction, it is revealed to the HouseGuests that there will be a double eviction that night. Isabella then becomes HoH. He has become closer and closer to her daily. However, she targets Cristina, who is his ally. Cristina is saved with the veto by Flynn, though, and another friend of his, Fiona, is the replacement nominee. Eric votes to evict the other nominee, Joseph. Joseph is successfully evicted.

On Week 7, the HouseGuest's find out that, for this week only, it will be Duo's week. Pablo goes on to win the HoH competition. Eric is paired with Isabella. Eric is happy that his friend is the Head of Household, but feels Isabella isn't close enough with Pablo to guarantee them safety. Yet, they aren't declared initial nominees. Cristina and Flynn are nominated for eviction. Eric works on his social game and relationships in case they are taken off of the block. He also continues flirting with Isabella, and they become an official showmance. After Jaivon wins the Power of Veto competition, he does not use it, leaving Cristina and Flynn on the block. Since Eric is friends with Cristina, he votes to keep her safe. Flynn is successfully evicted.

On Week 8, Eric hears from Fiona that she may target his showmance and close friend, Isabella. He tries to discourage her from it, and attempts to get Wade on the block. However, it doesn't work, and Isabella is nominated against Cristina, who he is also close with. When Cristina wins the Power of Veto, Eric is relieved, but Pablo becomes the replacement nominee, who Eric has recently become friends with. Eric is indecisive, and ends up being the swing vote this week. In the end, he decides to keep his strong ally over his showmance, evicting Isabella.
