Eric Hafemann's own answers from the pre-game cast profile CBS published before the season aired.

Hobbies
Backpacking, basketball, woodworking, and pretty much anything outside.
Pet peeves
My biggest pet peeve is people taking themselves too seriously. Come on, relax people. I try to remember that 99.9 percent of the time I am NOT the smartest, coolest, most interesting, deserving, or important person in the room.

Alliances fans have named

Survivor never names an alliance on screen. These names, and who counts as a member, are how the fan community records the game rather than an official record of it.
