Torrance Butler

**Torrance August Butler** is a contestant from *Zovivor: Yap*.

A largely passive player, Torrance aligned with Tristan Rainey early in the Rumung tribe due to them being athletic men, but he was left out of Tristan's majority alliance on the tribe, only being an affiliated number. This allowed him to reach the merge as a non-threat, but when Gillian Habersberger and Timothy Sweeney flipped to work with Kanifay, Torrance was eliminated due to being the least likely to have an immunity idol or have one played on him.

## Survivor

Erik started the game on the Galu tribe. On Day 1, the castaways were asked to pick a Leader based on first impressions. Yasmin Giles and Shambo Waters both picked Erik while he picked Russell Swan, who became the leader. Russell S. picked Erik as Galu's strongest member and Erik had to lift bundles of wood to the mat. Despite Erik trying his best on his portion of the challenge, Galu lost the challenge because of John Fincher botching the swimming portion of the challenge. Erik was annoyed with John's defeatist attitude and laying on the mat. At camp, the men of Galu clashed over building the shelter. Galu, however, won the first Immunity Challenge.

That was the start of a winning streak for Galu as they won many rewards and immunity twice. During this time, Erik found the Hidden Immunity Idol. However, life at Galu wasn't all peachy. Shambo alienated herself from the tribe and lost the snorkel piece to the fishing gear and allowed a chicken to escape. Erik attempted to catch the chicken, but he only ran into a clothesline and fell down which Dave Ball referred to as "Comedy Gold". Erik was not only mad with the chicken escaping, but also the fact that no one really cared about the chicken. Galu's winning streak came to an end on Day 10. Erik and Russell S. both wanted to vote out Monica Padilla because of her slowing down the tribe enough to allow Foa Foa to catch up and gain a lead. However, most of the tribe rallied with Monica and wanted Yasmin out for doing nothing around camp. Erik agreed with the most of the tribe and voted out Yasmin.

Galu resumed their winning streak afterwards. However, things changed on Day 15, when both tribes were revealed to be going to Tribal Council and the challenge was for pizza and the ability to watch the other tribe's Tribal Council. However, the challenge was canceled when Russell S. collapsed. The Galu men came together and decided to vote out Monica because of her weakness in challenges, close friendship with Laura Morett, and treating the game like a vacation. However, with Russell's evacuation, no one was voted out that night. The men of the tribe decided to elect Shambo the leader of the tribe in order to further drive her to their side, which angered Laura and Monica as they felt Shambo didn't deserve to be the leader. However, Galu won the next two challenges, keeping the tribe intact.

On Day 19, there was a major argument between Shambo and Laura. Erik believed that all it did was made Laura look bad as Shambo was crazy. Later, both of the tribes merged into Aiga. Erik believed that Foa Foa's situation didn't change aside from a new beach. At the Immunity Challenge, two people, one man and one woman, could win individual immunity. Erik wanted the highest possible score but failed to score. John and Laura won immunity. Erik wanted to keep the former Foa Foas from winning immunity so they can vote them out. Erik learned from Laura that Russell Hantz had the Hidden Immunity Idol and they decided to flush it while voting out Jaison Robinson, who was not contributing to camp life. However, John convinced Erik to vote out Monica to keep Laura weak and use the Foa Foa's votes. However, Dave thought it was crazy to vote out one of their own. Erik also told Jaison, Mick Trimming and Natalie White to vote out Monica. However, Natalie used this against Erik by telling Laura and Kelly Sharbaugh about the plot. The Galu women told everyone of this and Erik became the target. At Tribal Council, Russell H. played his idol while Erik didn't. This was fatal as Erik was voted out by everyone in Aiga (except Shambo) in a 10-2 vote. As a juror for the following Tribal Councils, Erik enjoyed seeing his Galu tribemates get voted out one-by-one for their betrayal by voting him out before voting out the remaining Foa Foa members.

At Final Tribal Council, Erik told Mick that he didn't do anything to prove himself worthy of the title of leader and told Mick he was responsible for Foa Foa's lack of guts. Then Erik told Russell H. that they had nothing in common and made it to the end despite his pride in his completely unethical game. Finally, Erik told Natalie that despite people looking down on her, she was still at the end of the game and was just as deserving and dangerous as the other two. Also, despite her opinion of being the least deserving, Erik told Natalie that she was the most deserving compared to the arrogant Russell H. and delusively entitled Mick and he was voting for her to win the game and hoped she got at least four more votes. True to his word, Erik gave his jury vote to Natalie, who won the game in a 7-2-0 vote over Russell and Mick.
