Erik's move is something that no one even thought was a possibility at this stage of the game.No, I definitely expected this to happen sooner or later. I'm actually kind of surprised it took this long. I think maybe a lot of people didn't pursue it because, like Catalie, they assumed that no one would be stupid enough to give it up. But the truth is, I think there were many people in past seasons who would have been stupid enough to give up the immunity necklace, it's just that sadly no one put an effort into making it happen.

Colby got three votes, he didn't give up a million, he was one vote away from it..
I say, put giving up immunity at either one or 2, but no lower. |

I honestly don't think "well, he wouldn't have won anyways" should be brought into this. We are talking about who made the stupidest move in
the history of the game.
Erik gave away immunity to people who a minute or two beforehand were bashing him and basically telling him they hated the way he was playing the game. Ian had a complete lapse of judgment, but at least he had a somewhat logical reason for his. Erik had no logical reason to do this, yet did so anyways. I'd say Erik is #1 here, because he was guaranteed the final 4 and gave it away for illogical reasons. |

maybe this thread thread should change its name to the "85" and add in erick as stupidest things done on survivor... with maybe an exclamation point!
or maybe it should be changed to just dont do this one stupid thing.

Definitely #1 Erik
then #2 James. Ridiculous! It was the most irrational move ever. |

No way is James nearly as retarded as Erik, Ian, and possibly Colby.

Regardless of logic or lack thereof, Eric was still in danger at the next TC. Ian (and Colby), however, probably would've won were it not for their
blunders (hell, Colby only lost by one vote which should say something about his chances). Erik as #2, fine. Erik over Ian, no.

immunity and B) convince one or both of the girls to turn on her. All this would do is get him to the jury, where Cirie probably wins.
Colby takes Keith to F2. Colby wins it all. Shit, looking at this Colby would probably be a good number one, but I'd consider lack of experience in putting it under the other two.

This list needs to be modified immediately Colby made a 900,00 dollar mistake Erik,James ,Ian were not gonna win even if some of the stuff they did can be
classified as bigger boneheaded moves.

Really, the stupidest move yet in Survivor. |

I don't care where anything goes on this list, but I think what Erik did was dumber than what Ian did, because Ian was really just another quitter. His
judgment may have been impaired by Tom's browbeating, but it was a decision he made willingly. Is it stupid not to want to win? It depends on your point
of view. It's different with Erik, because he gave up the necklace as a game move that he thought would help him.

Erik is far and away #1 for one very simple reason that doesn't apply to Ian or Colby- he did it thinking it would be a strategic move to his
advantage.
Colby knew, and outright stated, that he had a much better shot against Keith over Tina and that he didn't make the best strategic decision. He said these things while still in the game. Ian, while one could argue that Tom talked Ian into quitting, made the decision to quit. He wasn't playing to win anymore, he didn't care about that. Erik was playing to win, and made this move to try to have a better shot at winning. Colby and Ian did not. Erik made the biggest mistake in the history of Survivor. |

The strange thing about Erik's move is that he believes that Natalie & Amanda are his biggest jury threats, yet he's willing to give Natalie
immunity in order to go after Amanda, and then changes to Parvati.
