## Profile

**Name:** Eric

**Age:** 15

**Pronouns:** he/him or any

**Timezone:** CST

**Starting tribe:** Geeks

**What do you do for fun?** Well I spent my entire day today with my choir so that haha! I'm in my high school's choir, I'm currently also in Jazz Choir and I'm trying out for All District choir. Aka I love music and singing, it's what I want to do once I graduate. It's my main passion and it's something I embody everyday.

**What is your strategy coming into the game?** I obviously want to go for a more UTR approach. In the last ORG I played I played an amazing UTR game where I was a heavy hand in the early merge (I then made FTC and flopped it woops) I can't be super sociable or active so my best bet is to just lay low and let others get stomped on before me

**What character from any media do you relate to most and why?** I don't quite have an amazing relatable character that I attach myself to, but I definitely relate to the older brother from Onward. I can't think of his name lol but he just looks out for his brother when his dad isn't around to help, and that's how I am with my siblings really. I don't think were in anyway personally compatible but I definitely relate to that character in that respect.

**Would you rather get to the end and be hated or get voted out early and be loved?** I think I've answered both ways for this question before but for this org in particular it's 100% go early and be loved. This hosting team is iconic and lovely, there's some really cool specs/possible players so I'd rather be loved by them then make it to the end and get trashed

## Survivor

As one of the most active and well-connected players at the start of the game, Eric emerged as an early frontrunner in *Freaks and Geeks*. He was added to the season's first alliance just 45 minutes into the game when Becky Lee recruited him, Nathan, and Bella to form Power of Four. As the Geeks tribe dominated the first two challenges, Eric used that time off to build strong bonds with both Mia and Mamba. Upon realizing that *Freaks and Geeks* was Mamba's first ORG, he sought to protect her as a newbie and help her have a positive first experience.

When the Geeks finally attended Tribal Council in the third round of the game, Eric's connections secured his position as one of the best-positioned players on the tribe. Clay emerged as an easy vote due to his inactivity and was voted out unanimously. Around this time, Eric's bonds with Gabe and West strengthened.

At Swap, Eric swapped onto Freaks 2.0 with his allies Gabe, Mamba, and West, but was almost immediately left out of a majority alliance including West, Liam, Gabe, and Morgs. When that majority alliance dictated the Steph vote at the Freaks 2.0 Greed tribal, Eric correctly deduced that the alliance existed and was in control of the tribe.

Although an active confessionalist and detailed narrator at the start of the season, Eric got busy with real life commitments shortly after the Steph vote. Shortly after the merge, Eric pulled himself from the game and did not serve on the Jury, leaving in 11th place with zero votes against him.
