China's Erik & Jamie Engaged

[pawpaw]

From Leslie Nease:

Congratulations, Jaime and Erik!


I totally called it! When I was on Survivor, I was "kidnapped" to go over to the other tribe for a night by Zhan Hu (the other tribe's name). When I got there, I saw Jaime and Erik together and said to them "HEY! You two have something don't you?!" and they both grinned, turned red and said "Nah..." I totally knew it though.

Sure enough, they began dating after the show and as of last week, they are now ENGAGED!! I am beside myself with excitement for them! They both live in Nashville now, Erik is still singing in his band called "Florez" and Jaime just began working for Mercy Ministries! I just love these two and I'm so excited. Congratulations you two!! May God richly bless you as you begin your life together soon!

reality blurred + Jaime and Erik's begging wins them an $80,000 wedding

Survivor China cast members Jaime Dugan and Erik Huffman have won the $80,000 wedding that they begged fans to help them win.

They’ll marry April 4, 2009 at Wild Dunes Resort in Charleston, according to a press release. That’s presumably the same day that virginal Erik will lose the most interesting part about himself.

Besides using Facebook, Erik and Jaime also issued a press release about their “low-key love story”. They’ll apparently be blogging about their wedding, although that page does not yet exist.

Clearly, my plea to vote against them failed, or else People magazine’s positivity has a stronger pull than my cynicism (and apparently teh couple wasn’t aware of it, judging by Jaime’s post here (currently the fourth one from the top).

There is some good news: the runners-up all get “a two-night stay in a luxurious one-bedroom villa” worth $1,000, according to the Charleston Area Convention and Visitors Bureau.
