SURVIVOR Host: There are lots of great questions, so lets get to as many as we can! If you're just joining us, we're chatting live with Survivor Erin Collins. To ask erin a question, type it in the space below and click "Ask the Survivor." Hi, Erin! Thanks for spending some time to chat with us today. Are you ready for some questions?
Erin: Yes!
I_MISS_Erin: Why do you think you were voted out instead of Penny? I was shocked!
Erin: I believe it all had to do with strategy and a possible alliance that Penny had, either with Jake or with Ken.
SFan: Erin, what was your reaction when you saw Ken & Jake strategizing about getting other members on their team without you and Penny involved?
Erin: I don't think they were strategizing with us. I think all along we discussed it being the four of us, and while we were out there we let each other know what was going on. So, I don't necessarily feel that they went behind my back. If anything, I think they were doing it to help the four members of Sook Jai.
SURVIVOR_fanatic: Why did you vote for Ken over Penny?
Erin: I chose Ken because our theme was to stay true to Texas, and Jake, Penny and myself were all from Texas. In addition, I felt that our time out there was beginning to wear on Ken and it was time for him to be able to take a shower and eat some food.
mommalovesherethan: Hi Erin. Were you disappointed with the lack of airtime you received on the show? We saw so very little of you.
Erin: The way I played the game, I laid low, so it wasn't really surprising to me. I didn't cause any drama, so it wasn't surprising to me that they didn't show me a lot. I didn't do the SURVIVOR experience to be seen on TV; I did it for the experience, and part of my strategy was laying low.
I_MISS_Erin: You looked angry when you were voted out. Do you think Penny betrayed you?
Erin: Yes, I did feel Penny betrayed me. I wasn't angry; it had been an extremely emotional day and I was sad that the experience of living out there was over for me. But in no way was I angry.
I_luv_Erin: Erin, did it hurt when you slipped off on that flower?
Erin: It looked a lot worse than it really was. I had a lot of adrenaline flowing, so I scraped my leg, but it was nothing to worry about.
peeing_ted: What was going through your mind when Jake made the "erotic" comment?
Erin: My mind was in another place. I was thinking about losing the Challenge and who we were going to vote for and that being a tough decision. In no way did I think twice about what Jake was saying.
FireyRedTU: Hey, Erin! You certainly showed some nerves by eating those grubs in the Food Reward Challenge. How good was the food while in Thailand?
Erin: [laughs] The food was slim to none: lots of coconut, lots of leaves. But we were fortunate enough to win the Thai feast, which was unforgettable!
