After moving through the elimination process only six contestants are remaining including Erika Casupanan, from the original Luvu tribemates.

In November 2021, Jeff offered her an unusual proposal a never-before-seen twist. She could “travel back in time and rewrite history” by destroying a prop hourglass to undo the merge challenge’s results. According to the GoldDerby poll, 91% of people voted that she should use the hammer, which she did.

She wished that her alliance partner would be somebody who honestly just loves the game as much as she does.

As a communication manager, she loves interacting with people. Her initial game plan was just to focus on building social relationships, learning about people, and building trust. She wanted to show other contestants that she could be their ally because of her friendly nature.

When asked whether she would choose strategy or social, Erika confirmed that both of the factors were crucial for winning. She has to be social to learn about her contestants to launch a proper strategy that could secure her win in the show. She revealed, “You have to figure out the marriage of the two of them. I think that I’m capable of doing that. And I think that that’s what’s going to help me get to the end.”

Erika got hooked into the “Survivor” as a coping mechanism to bear the loss of her grandfather. She watched people overcome all the crazy circumstances.
