See, from what I can recall - Eric never specifically said that it was Nick (I could've missed it), just agreed with the others when Amber was the first to accuse him. Obviously, it could've been the way the show was edited to show Eric in a good light, but there you go. This is the first year that I'm reading about the action on the live feeds.
Like him or hate him, I think Eric is playing the game (and there are definitely areas where being "America's Player" is a disadvantage to him). Part of the game is to get to the end without making that many enemies so that you can get the votes in the end - which is difficult to do with the idea that as HOH, you'd be the one seen as "responsible" for getting certain players out, which puts a target on your back. Additionally, since you can't compete for HOH the week after your "reign", you *usually* have no influence on who goes home, unless you can plant an idea in that week's HOH. There has to be a degree of maipulation and deceit in the game - show me a season where there hasn't been any and everyone loves everybody.
Just my opinion, but I'm glad Eric's still in the house and helping to stir things up - while Dick is good for entertainment value, I'm sick of seeing his tirades and sick of seeing Amber's crying every episode.
