Survivor Micronesia: Erik's Comedy Of Errors

What was I thinking? That’s a good question! Obviously my judgment was clouded by the fact that the girls were putting all these different ideas in my head and there were a lot of emotions going on. You can see it from the way Amanda was messing with me. Amanda would act like she was my best friend and the next day she would hate me again or want to get rid of me.

I would have been better running to the other side of the island and staying by myself and surviving! I was pretty naïve and I got played. There’s no question about it. It was just… crazy.

Dude, Never Take Off The Immunity Necklace!

Halfway through tribal, I made my final decision about what I wanted to do. When I finally made the decision to do it, I didn’t look at anybody, which was the dumbest thing I could’ve done because I would have seen the warning signs on everybody’s face and not done it. But I had made up my mind and told myself not to look to anybody for help because people would think I was totally nuts, which I was!

Natalie and Cirie had convinced me the plan would work. Natalie is very good at persuading people to do things that she wants them to do. It worked with Jason, and I should have seen that and immediately recognized it as a threat. When she first came up to me with the idea after the immunity challenge, I said “that’s a dumb idea and I am not going to do that.” But by the end of the day, I was doing it!

Cirie also gave me her word and up to that point, I had not seen Cirie lie.
