Shieri Yasude

Shieri Yasude, commonly referred to as Eri, is a consistent contestant on Survivor: REM. She has 5th casting priority, and thus is guaranteed to appear in every season.

In Borneo, Eri was part of the dominant Tagi Alliance, which allowed her to make it to the final four. However, after a tie at Tribal Council between her and Tsutomu Wada, her close friend Midori Harada changed her vote to her during the revote, eliminating her from the game. At the Final Tribal Council, Eri lashed out at both Midori and Tsutomu with her infamously impassioned "rats and snakes" speech.

Borneo
Eri seemed to get far in the game by using her secret alliance with Tsutomu Wada, Midori Harada, and Kaori Funai during a time when other cast members did not yet use alliances, and several even considered allied voting to be "cheating". Eri liked being viewed as a stupid redneck during the game and kept her intelligence hidden in order to throw off her opponents.

As the fourth-place finisher, she became a member of the jury. At the Final Tribal Council she launched into her infamous "Snakes and Rats" speech about the top two, Tsutomu and Midori. In her speech, she said there are only two things on the entire island: rats and snakes. Tsutomu was a snake scouring the jungle for prey and Midori a rat, who just aimlessly wanders around the jungle trying to avoid the snake. Eri told the jury members that they should obey the laws of nature by letting the snake eat the rat. She also told Midori that if she ever saw her in a desert, dying of thirst, she would not stop to give her a sip of water and that she'd like to see the vultures get her and devour her. This resulted in angering Yutaka Furutani and Komako Noguchi, who voted for Midori. Nevertheless, Tsutomu still won 4-3.

Voting History:
