Eric was one of the players to watch going into the house. She was viewed as a right-hand man to Jaz for the early season, which resulted in her near nomination by Katniss in Week 3. She was ultimately nominated by Katniss in Week 5, however, as one of the two surviving "popular girls" in the house alongside Cindy. She won the veto and saved herself, however, and at this point, began re-aligning herself with Stella and Kaitlyn to better advance her game. Much of the late game revolved around her rivalry with Jack and his allies, with Eric winning the HOH going into the triple eviction to evict Fred, then Jack turning around and nominating her during the second half. Eric was saved by Stella, but she then chose to turn her back on Kaitlyn based on her choice to eliminate Eric in the power of veto competition. Going into the final 5, Eric set her sights on Jack, but he won the veto. As a result, she chose to betray Stella and send them packing, choosing to go with Brandon for the remainder of the game. This choice proved beneficial when Brandon voted to save her over Cindy at the final 4, since saving Cindy left risk of Jack and Cindy bringing each other to the finale over Brandon. However, Eric was expelled at the final 3 for a personal controversy.
Host Opinion
Eric had some real potential. However, because of the reasons for expulsion, I would prefer not to go too in depth on my opinion of her gameplay in the season. She was good overall.
