None at all. She has proved that. She is a Brown University PhD student, a hockey player, and Erickson is also the first and only woman to play on the men’s hockey team at Georgia Tech and currently captains the Brown men’s club hockey team. She is a doctoral student in fluid and thermal sciences.
She also interned at Baxter International Inc. and 3M. Erickson was also selected for ASME’s 2025 Watch List.
All of which she shared at Final Tribal. So why plead for votes because she is autistic? It seems counterintuitive. I contend it’s because that’s about all she had to offer, game-wise. Even Survivor-wiki says:
“Although she was commended for her tenacity, she could not separate her game from Joe’s, and this, combined with herlack of strategic initiative, left Eva as the runner-up to Kyle Fraser in a 5-2-1 vote.”
The bottom line is, you win at Survivor, because you play the game the best according to your fellow players.
Well, backstabbing doesnt make anyone “unlikable” to me. But see, that was why Kyle deserved to win- he OutWIT Joe and Eva and got them to vote out their allies.
Up until it turned into one vs one, which Eva won.
Yep, that last one where they had to run around and figure out the word to open the dingus. Not to mention, she also figured out the same sort of thing for Stars puzzle, Star gave her that idol for Evas help.
Yep, and that is why Kyle won, but Eva did get two votes and came in second.
Happy to see Coach again, to be honest. Despite his flaws, I think he is genuine.
Russell Hantz is apparently banned from Survivor. He leaked details on one of his seasons before it aired and received a lifetime ban. Johnny Fairplay is also banned as he is such a gigantic jerk in game and at Survivor events, Jeff Probst banned him. He also went out to an All Stars season and asked to get voted out first, which means he took up a slot someone else could have used.
I’d have liked to see Yao Man, who I assume says no to all request. I liked Eva enough to see her do another season.
Colby seems like a good guy, hope he does well. I don’t dislike Ozzy, but I don’t really think much about him either.
Several so called “villains” there, not a good look. And no one should be on for the 4th time, or even the third time. And no winners, please, just people who almost won. So, sure Kamilla and Joe, but not Kyle.
It’s a MUCH older cast than usual. I’m guessing that the challenges will have to be modified quite a bit to accommodate them. I just hope they don’t bring back the gross food challenge.
