   That was the hardest thing that I’ve ever had to watch. When Natalie first approached Erik with the idea he was saying all the right things:
   “I would never consider that”
   “Why can’t we vote for Amanda if I have the immunity necklace”
   After he said those things i thought that he was fine and then the ladies went to work on him during tribal council. I feel sorry for him. He’s only 22, I hope he’s not scared of girls forever because of this.
   Here’s his already classic Ponderosa video

   Now let’s hear about your speidi encounter.

   Classic…
   Even though he is probably the most naive survivor player ever, I still was shocked that he got bamboozled like he did. However, I’m still not sure which is worse…having TWO hidden immunity idols and not using either at tribal council (and therefore being voted off), or giving the immunity necklace to another tribe mate right before making it to Final 4. Eh, they are both pretty bonehead moves in my book.

   Sixteen year history? Is that in reality show years? I think it’s been on for eight years.
   Erik is a complete bonehead, poor guy.

   Giving the immunity necklace to another tribe mate right before making it to Final 4 is WAAAAAAY worse than not playing a hidden immunity idol. It can be agrued that not playing the idol(s) and saving it (them) could be somewhat of a strategic move…unless it’s the last chance you get to play it. But having the GDMF necklace and giving it away…Idiot. He was so freaking star struck by the reality tv “stars” that he would’ve done anything just to make them like him. LOSER. I said good day.

   I agree with Yo Mama. This was by far the dumbest move ever. He had a guaranteed place in the final episode. As a fan of Survivor, Erik should have known there was still plenty of time to work the jury. tsk tsk.
   Literally, during the last episode, I asked myself, “Why does Jeff even ASK about giving up immunity anymore? No one ever does it!” Literally. I had that thought process. Just goes to show…
