Peih-Gee talks to Erik back at the shelter, telling him it seems like the alliance is ready to move against James tonight. Peih-Gee tells Erik that she thinks the two of them should vote for Todd, because that way, if James does play an idol and the plan backfires, it will be Todd who goes home. Otherwise, obviously, you run the risk that whoever James votes for will go home, and that's likely to be Peih-Gee. So she's pretty much asking Erik to vote for Todd as protection for her. Erik interviews, quite correctly, that voting against Todd is good, in the sense that his leaving would be kind of good, but that he also takes a big risk by doing it. That's a legitimately tough position, because I think he feels some genuine loyalty to Peih-Gee, but I think he senses that his best chance at getting to the end is to jettison her and let her get bounced, and then see if he can sneak in with, say, Amanda and Courtney. Depending on what's been said to him about Amanda's belief that she doesn't want to go to F3 with Todd or Courtney OR James, Erik might legitimately think that as much as he's been on the same side as Peih-Gee, it's time to quit trying to put something together with her.
