Erica Mitsui

FORMER CONTESTANT
==Background==
Erica Danielle Mitsui is a former contestant on The Strife. She is very outgoing and very patient, although she isn't the most upbeat person. Before the show, she had dated fellow contestant, Benji Weisskoff, but they broke up three months before the roster and Season 1 cast reveal. She was, also, a former contestant on a Bachelor-esque dating show four years ago where she got 8th out of 25 contestants. After two seasons, she quit the roster and tried to boycott the show. She is most well known for her epic meltdown after her second elimination, as well as her post-Season 2 antics and for getting last place twice.After her appearance on Ex Manor Season 4, she would date fellow alumni, Lochlan Dehghan.To note: their heritage is Japanese.
==Season 1==
During her run, she was able to make up with Benji, although she still couldn't trust him. As the seven days went on, she was deemed sneaky as she tried to observe other conversations to see if people would bring up her name. When Taisho, Candice, and David caught on, she was quickly exposed for trying to eavesdrop on conversations and became the first person to be voted out.
==Season 2==
Returning from Season 1 as one of the early boots chosen to return, she said that her plan this season is to get past 3rd place and beat Benji. She says that Benji beating her was infuriating and, that, he didn't deserve 3rd place. As a chosen returnee, she was tasked with a risk or reward challenge to determine how the first week will go for her. She lost and received 5 votes automatically. Throughout the other days, she decided to lay back and not strategize. After revealing that her and Benji are on bad terms again as he confronted her over stuff she said about him to a friend, she decided to bash Benji for the remainder of her stay. This annoyed most of the contestants with Jonna, Lydia, and Talita getting into arguments with her over her attitude. On Day 7, she, once again, became the first person sent packing.
