Damn Erik, I was hoping you were not that stupid, I was truly hoping Natalie was going b/c you learned something.

Then again, that was AWESOME so I'm happy to be wrong :snort

Unbelievable episode. My jaw was on the floor the entire time. Especially once Erik won the immunity necklace. I just kept saying "no way he gives it up" and then he did! Sweet guy, but incredibly stupid.

I missed one question in the RC challenge, but it was because I had the wrong season. I knew it was Rich, but thought it was in S1. I'm so ashamed.

I agree with everyone who says he was dumb/naive. I also feel bad for him though. He was dumb and I feel bad for him.

I didn't really even see that as women vs men. It was more like grown-ups vs a little kid (at least mentally).

That was entertaining as hell though.

Eric, if you're lurking out there: DO NOT POST AT SURVIVOR SUCKS AFTER THE SEASON IS OVER!

Those four women will look like they were...

I think (and hope) in ten years Erik would still lose this game. It is pretty amazing that he has spent the first 22 years of his life in an environment so secure that he would believe something so ridiculous. Kinda like Charlie Brown and the football. I know the characters we see on the tv show are not exactly the same as the real people, but I would hope that Erik's reflection on his experience would be that he has many good qualities, just not the ones to be successful on Survivor....

I have no sympathies for Erik. He's was just too young and immature and naive to play this game. I wish him well in life, but he deserves getting booted in the game for the stupid move he made.

I'm remembering Colleen getting booted and saying, "I bet in ten years I could kick ass at this game." I think there is some wisdom to that. Give Erik twenty years. It takes some matury to play this game and cold-bloodedly reptilian and it sometimes...

Very good epi!!
Even hubby enjoyed it. Totally couldn't believe he handed it over.

Rule #1 in Survivor, once you have immunity...NEVER give it up. ESPECIALLY if you are the last man/woman standing...and you have F4 in hand. He was on a challenge streak fer chrisake!!

starstruck to play this game

and pussy whipped, poor boy...he had it bad for Amanda. He soooo wanted to be part of the "cool kids group"

Best TC...

Erik is such a goof; I felt sorry for him last night. Two pretty girls, a mom figure, and someone he wants to trust all working on him at the same time. He was psychologically outnumbered, and didn't stand a chance.

I don't think Jeff outright lied about the idol in the preview; I think, as usual, he over-stated the "wow factor" though. He said, "The idol comes into play again in a completely different way," and it did. Cerie/Amanda (I'm not really...

Cirie's plan to have Amanda and Parv kick him over the edge at TC was in fact quite brilliant....

J: So Parvarti, how was Exile Island?
P: It was great to get away from Erik lying ...

Immediate attack spin, for the entire TC and quite frankly it worked.

Didn't Tom do the basically the same to Ian and got him to step out of the challenge? If you can't Outplay, you need to Outwit to Outlast.

Erik would have won.

As far as the...

It took 3 strokes of genius to make him give that sucker up, but....I hope they do drug testing when they exit, because Erik was sure as hell "doped" up.

Great going Trix, RB et al!. Unbelievable ep. An interesting season. I hope the Finale lives up to it.

After watching her plan and execute talking Erik out of the IN I truly believe she should run for public office of some kind or get appointed to a cabinet position. It was brilliant from what story can we spin to get him to give Nat the IN to her instruction for Amanda and Pav to go after him at TC. I have told my friends for awhile that all the folk who go over the Survivor commericals and catch all the details should be helping the CIA. The USA would not be surprised by our enemies again...

Straight or gay, no man with any SENSE would believe any of that tomfoolery Erik was given. He was too naive and starstruck to play this game.

It just goes to show that being a great FAN of Survivor is not the same thing as being a good STUDENT of the game or PLAYER of the game. I think only Jonathan had the cold bloodedness and maturity to pull a Chris this season and since he was evacuated, and all the other men couldn't strategize their way out of a wet...

I've just rewatched the episode and I've never been so happy about any final four in any season of Survivor. Every single one of these women have made game moves which make them worthy to be the winner.

If I could, I'd give each one of them a million.

Man, you could blow me over with a freaking Feather when Erik handed that necklace over.

Final THREE? Erik had the freaking GAME in hand and blew it, just because he couldn't muster up a little self-confidence.

You have to play the hand you're dealt. You can't CHANGE who the hell you are and how you play the game mid-stream. (Hear THAT, PARVARTI!)

Erik had enough votes sitting on that Bench, he didn't NEED any of the votes from the F5. Alexis...

Was this a Survivor first? Have we ever seen ALL the votes before Jeff read them out loud? I guess it was just too awesome not to use the ladies' confessionals.

It was a first!

My favorite voting confessional is still Rob C. impersonating Casey Kasem and doing an American Top 40 Long Distance Dediction to Roger, "Na Na Na, Hey Hey Hey, Kiss Him Goodbye."

I couldn't believe I got them all right except one, about the four tribes on Survivor:Exile Island. That reward challenge was designed for a fan to win. And he did!

Poor dumb Erik. Can you see a gay man, say Todd, falling for that malarkey? I guess he is straight after all...
