Erika has identified Kaysar's weakness - his ethics and sense of morality, coupled with his homesickness- and she is using it against him.
She has been lobbying for him to be evicted and then goes and sits with him for an hour saying things like
This has become torture. What have we become? We are compromising our souls. It's not worth it- we are giving up our humanity... She's using her "I'm a spiritual being" speech... what are we doing here , this is beyond... why are we doing this.. blah, blah, blah for
money...
She's cold and she's been wiping her nose on her hand and pinching her nose ALL EVENING - but now, she's using it to FAKE CRY with Kaysar... There are no tears, no red eyes (like Dani) just a runny nose...
followed by " I don't even know what's going on, I don't have a plan. I don't even squish insects"
She's ending it with "I just really want you to know that I'm so happy that I got to know you, you're a really cool guy." (sounds like goodbye, eh?)
He's buying this crap hook, line & sinker. and even begins repeating what she has said to him....
and for her final trick - flattery
E: but you did get a good haircut out of the deal
K: yeah, I saved 10 bucks (scoffs)
E: well, it's hard to mess your looks up, you'd look good no matter what
e: but the final straw for me was that someone
actually rejoiced that she was in solitary confinement - that was when I snapped, that was when I shut down emotionally -- I won't say who.....
e: cuz I don't want to stir anything up...
long pause
K: Is it someone from my alliance?
E: I won't .. I'm not... (I swear one corner of her mouth curled up into a half smirk here) -- Don't ask
pause
E: and PLEASE, Kaysar, PLEASE don't say anything to anyone ... promise me??
K: I won't - I promise
E: What am I doing here? (over and over and over and over again) actually RUBS a tear out of her eye here
Janelle walks up and asks what's going on
E: just hanging out, talking...
J: cool
E: ... about anything BUT this game... (another lie)
J: cool
Erika leaves to go make nice with the woman who could put her on the block.
