Erik Huffman
A soft-spoken recruit who had never watched the show and still lasted deep into the Zhan Hu fight.
Known for
Erik was recruited for China without having seen an episode, and his quiet charm and challenge chops kept him alive on a Zhan Hu tribe that flooded, lost, and bled members. When the women threw a challenge to pick off the Fei Long transplants, he fell in line and voted out Aaron Reisberger. He also out-ate Frosti Zernow to win immunity for the tribe and handed Jaime Dugan a sign he suspected was the idol.
After the merge, Zhan Hu lost control. Erik casually told Jean-Robert Bellande that James Clement held two idols, a remark that helped set up Jean-Robert's blindside. Later he won individual immunity and voted with the majority as James left with both idols unplayed. Once his last ally, Peih-Gee Law, took immunity, Erik was the obvious target, and he fell 4-2. On the jury, he liked Amanda Kimmel's answer about the James vote and gave her his vote.
