Erik Cardona
The idol-holding Galu bartender who got talked out of the game, then backed Natalie from the jury bench.
Known for
Erik was a late addition to Samoa and slid into a Galu tribe that won almost everything early. He found the Hidden Immunity Idol, supplied some slapstick by chasing an escaped chicken straight into a clothesline, and rode the majority through Russell Swan's medical evacuation without much trouble.
The merge flipped it. John Fincher sold him on cutting Monica Padilla using Foa Foa's votes, and Erik shared the plan with Jaison Robinson, Mick Trimming and Natalie White. Natalie carried it straight to Laura Morett and Kelly Sharbaugh, the Galu women spread the word, and Erik was suddenly the rogue. Russell Hantz played his idol at that Tribal; Erik never played his and left 10-2. From the jury bench he enjoyed watching Galu get picked apart, then delivered a fiery final speech: Mick had not earned the leader title, Russell had nothing in common with him and had got there on a completely unethical game, and Natalie was the most deserving of the three. She took it 7-2-0.
