Erika Joaquin

== Summary ==
Erika Joaquin is a contestant from New Beginnings. She was voted out at the merge due to loose social connections, placing 8th overall.
== Gameplay ==
=== New Beginnings ===
Erika played very under the radar. She started off strong on the Penis Tribe, being able to float by two tribal councils that solved themselves. In the merge, however, she had very weak social connections compared to everyone else. She was voted out seventh, placing 8th overall.
=== Second Chance ===
After five seasons, Erika finally made a return on Second Chance. From an objective standpoint, she performed much better in this season than she did in New Beginnings. She was placed on the McKenna Tribe and allied with Lilly right from the start. After Maheen was taken out and the dissolve hit, Llewellyn joined the alliance and they were able to run the tribe, successfully executing Michaela and Kat. Once merged, the alliance grew to five as Allyson and Corri joined their side. Erika was in a really good spot with her alliance. However, after Corri's second elimination and Llewellyn's flip, her game was jeopardized as she was left in the minority. Unable to win immunity, she became the ninth person voted off. She lost to both Corri and Llewellyn on Redemption Island, leaving her as the first member of the jury. She later voted for Emilee to win.
