| Man, that was a great episode lol.
Erik's just so young and naive. I feel kind of bad for him, while my mind boggles at his stupidity. The four women played him perfectly, reading his naivety and desire to please to a tee. I mean, I could almost understand his viewpoint about not having any votes on the jury. But damn... how could he actually take it that far as to give up the II, *especially* after what, 4 straight weeks of devious blindsides? lol
I think he underestimated himself. Jury voters these days often overlook their emotional state and vote for good gameplay. Sure, he wasn't playing a brilliant strategic game, but physically he was dominating. The sheer number of immunities he was winning, as well as sticking around despite being the only male, would probably have weighed well in his favour.
In any case, it gained him Survivor immortality. That was one of the best tribal council moves ever. I spent the last half of the episode thinking, "There's NO WAY the girls will pull that off..." haha. Back-to-back amazing tribals. What a great season this has been. =) |
