Survivor Samoa Episode 8

0:08 We see contempt, moving one side of her mouth to the side.

2:05 We see Monica shrug with only one shoulder.

2:07 We see Erik raise his eyebrows and you can see lines laterally across his forehead, this is sarcasm as she says you never know who to trust.

2:28 Erik begins speaking and once again alienates himself again because he is over confident. If you are a someone who wants to play the game of Survivor, watch the reaction of the others (especially from his old tribe) this should have been a clue to him of what was coming. If you make it on the show, watch the reactions at the tribal consoles! Shrugs, lick licking and lip piercing, and the micro expression of disgust can all be seen.

3:01 Russell answers the question well to start with, but he should not have said that Erik will be surprised. Russell's biggest liability is his pride (in his game)gets in the way and he reveals too much.

Had Erik paid more attention to reactions of others, especially his former tribe members he might have realized his fate, and may have played the idol. I even saw one former tribe member walk more slowly to the area where you write the votes... everything matters.

Then fast forward to the reading of the votes, study Erik... you can see him thinking and understanding. Watch the emotion drain from his face, thinking, ever so subtle sadness in his mouth and subtle surprise in his eyes.

Watch the others react as he leaves: shame, happiness, sadness, and contempt.◦
