Erik
Biography
Erik Reichenbach, a true SURVIVOR junkie, was too young to be in the first 14 seasons of Survivor. Reichenbach religiously studied the game from the comfort of his home, until he was of age to audition. Determined to play the game, Erik practiced his survival skills last summer off a small island in Florida.
Reichenbach was born and raised in Pinckney, Michigan. He is currently in his senior year of studying art at Eastern Michigan University, and is a member of the college's track team. Reichenbach works at an ice cream parlor called "Screams" in Hell, Michigan, where he also designs t-shirts, hauls canoes and entertains his customers. He previously worked in landscaping, construction and as a freelance graphic designer. His hobbies include drawing, writing comic books, rock-climbing and studying philosophy/religion. He describes himself as animated, earnest and familiar. He is very proud of his running accomplishments during his senior year of high school, where he set the school's 400 yard record (49.3 seconds), and being able to run in the Nike Outdoor Nationals in Carolina. Reichenbach is a member of the Eastern Michigan Cross Country and Track team, Pinckney Pirate Track and Field Alumni and a rock climbing club.
Reichenbach believes he'll go far on SURVIVOR because he is a good listener, entertaining, optimistic, athletic, a creative thinker and can easily be a leader or a follower.
Reichenbach is currently single and lives in Ypsilanti, Michigan, with his cats, Furrball and Kittyfizzle (K-Fizz for short). His birth date is November 27, 1985.

It's really hard to accept that Erik is gone but he was outwitted by the Faves, bigtime! If he would have been outwitted by someone who never played the game before, I would feel that maybe he was pretty stupid, or at least not as smart as the other novices. But, I don't consider that to be the case. My favorite analogy of the situation is that, as talented as Erik might be on the track field, he probably wouldn't win a race against an Olympic world record holder. Well, he was playing against "professionals" in the game of Survivor. To come in at 5th place in a field that included 10 professionals in a pack of 20 total is a GREAT accomplishment!!! And, think about this for a moment. Ozzy got blindsided and he's played this game before! He should have known better. The "grrrrls" knew that they could take advantage of Erik's naivete but even he had great doubts in deciding his course of action (according to his interviews). But, when you look at the total length and depth of his gameplay, it still leads to the result that he was in the final five when he should have been gone in 11th place. He was able to orchestrate the eviction of a Fave (Ami) which is pretty impressive. He won more than one challenge, another proud accomplishment. And, the fact that he may go down as the "dumbest player in Survivor history" is also a notorious claim to fame, akin to a Jonny Fairplay. EVERYBODY will remember who Erik is! I say, he can hold his head high and say that sure he got outwitted but at least he got played by one of the top-rated masterminds of Survivor, namely Cirie. Lastly, I would say that the entertainment value of having Erik on the show was highly-rated. To see his enthusiasm for all aspects of his experience helped us to live the Survivor experience to a point of enjoyment instead of just viewing all its hardships vicariously through the other other players. I will have some great memories of Erik's game which unfortunately will include his infamous departure. Well done, Erik!

Also--Gotta love the 2 little guys and the torch at the bottom of your second message, complete with the "Tribe has spoken" caption. Delightful! You're good at this.

WoW! Your message hit this page right after mine! "Ol' K-flow" will have to go some to top your graphic retort! Brilliant, actually. We're in full agreement about the likelihood of him only being able to talk tough in this venue. I like your page set-up and quotes. His mean ways won't get far on your posting! Good on ya! Nice to see some wit.

Agirl4 said... This guy's more than kind of mean, he's hateful. People who swagger, gloat, and sputter about the mistakes of others to this extent definitely feel like losers themselves. Note the picture of the macho man with his message. To run on and on so nastily like he does in his message above only reflects his own insecurity. Now there's a chance to jump on someone else who's just taken a fall, and he seems to relish it. I strongly suspect this guy is quite bitter and disappointed at his own position in life. Sad. -->-->--> I couldn't have said it better myself,,,, Agirl4. What a self-loather. Can't he see that he is just like the Butthole Biff Tannen w/ all that McFly crap. Does he actually think THAT is something "smart" to emulate??? Well....probably.....

Erik its nice to know you will be going back to something you are smart at (which is scooping ice cream). It seems you are much smarter at that as opposed to playing the game. You are suppose to be a "true fan" of the game and what is the slogan of the game? Outwit, Outplay and Outlast? THAT IS WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO DO........HELLO, MCFLY!!! You are as smart as a bag of rocks!!James was right: He actually lost his reign and now you are as stupid as our so-called commander-in-chief. I bet the both of you could work really well together because the both you have as much sense as a nanny goat. Parv said it well: "You will officially go down as the dumbest survivor ever in the history of the show......ever".Didnt you see the pattern DUMB AZZ? The women alliance were getting rid of ALL of the men and guess what Einstein, you are of the male gender/species. The purpose of winning the immunity challenge was to make sure you had a better chance of winning the million dollars and not to "redeem yourself".NEWS FLASH MCFLY: You had the majority of the jury votes already because the women's plan was OBVIOUS to those already on the jury....NUMB NUTS!! Tribal Council is not a time for you to sit around and sing "Cuum By Ya", you are suppose to be there to win a million dollars. You sat there crossing your fingers like you were in grammar school. Guess what: You are not in your neighborhood ice cream parlor trying to nicely persuade your customers to get an extra scoop of ice cream. You are in a game.....ANOTHER NEWS FLASH MCFLY: You were already winning the challenges, so why did you need be on a buddy-buddy system. This isnt the military AIRHEAD, all you had to do was continue winning the challenges. The only person who could even come close to beating you was Amanda. Maybe you should consider the slogan of the United Negro College Fund: "A mind is a terrible thing to waste". A few words of advice: In order to make it in this land of milk and honey, you gotta have common sense as well. You did right at the end by running away. How about you keep running....idiot! Hope to see you get a promotion and drive the neighborhood ice cream truck.....

Number0fan...I totally agree with you. The game ended for me too. I can't stand those (for lack of a better word) women. What goes around, comes around! They will get theirs, soon! Hopefully Erik will somehow prosper from this experience.
