Erick of Survivor takes John Daly's "Dumbest Human Ever" mantle

John Daly gets a lot of grief from golf fans, and for the most part, rightly so. Any golfer talented enough to win two major titles at a young age is going to have expectations placed upon them. Daly decided to meet those expectations by being a perpetual 18 year old and blowing everything, including his considerable talent.

But at least Daly got to enjoy his riches. On CBS’s Survivor, Erick - soon to be elected “least likely to succeed at Eastern Michigan University” - decided that having riches of any type would we too much a burden for him. Ok, check that, four other Survivor players decided that for him.

Yes, Erick, a talented athlete, a nice guy and seemingly a good all-around person, decided to give away his immunity at tribal counsel, for some reason believing the “plan” devised by the others that he had no chance to win votes at the end, and only by sacrificing himself could he get the votes he needed. So, after fighting to win immunity, he gave it away. And was immediately voted out.

So, John Daly, congratulations, there is no way you should be considered the dumbest guy around anymore. Erick has taken that mantle. But maybe you two should go off and have a beer some day. You both seem like very amiable fellows. And together, you’d possibly have a full brain between you.
