Don't bring Danielle into this.

At least giving up immunity overshadowed his other moronic move - sending Parvati to EI instead of Natalie.

Natalie and Erik probably would have been the final 2 if Natalie got the idol instead, or one of the two + Parvati.

Also in retrospect, this is now my favorite quote:

Jeff Probst: "Erik, you have the immunity necklace, unless you want to do something crazy, and give it to somebody else..."
Erik: "I'm not crazy, I think I'm going to keep it"

Keep in mind this is at Jason's boot, 2 councils before the best blindside ever.

I don't think he would have won the F3 immunity and would have been voted out by Cirie or Amanda.

Amanda would have been tough in the Final IC, but he could have forced her to win a fireestarting tiebreaker aginst Cirie at F4.
I think they made it a F2 when James left because they didn't want a fan to squak into F3 and win.

I don't know about that.

If you guys thought Amanda's jury performance was bad, think about Erik's. Yikes.

My thoughts are..this needed it's own thread????

Shaggy had no chance of winning this thing. Maybe if he went up against Nat but that was a unlikely scenario given the Parv, Cirie, and Amanhanda trio. Nobody could have taken this kid seriously. As much as Amanhanda sucks he would probably even had lost to her.

Eric=court jester not survivor winner
