‘Survivor 48' star Eva Erickson responds to ‘horrible' online comments about her autism
Eva Erickson is clearing up online comments about her 'Survivor' experience.
After coming in second place during Wednesday's Season 48 finale, Erickson insisted that she got to the final three on her own merit, and not because players were afraid to vote her out due to her autism and the potential backlash they'd receive.
'These people respected me as a competitor and anyone who was saying that they were keeping me in the game because I had autism and they were worried about the backlash, they do not understand who I am and who these people are,' the 24-year-old exclusively told The Post.

'How dare you say about my competitors that they don't have the respect for me and that I don't have the respect for them to allow that to happen,' Erickson continued. 'Not in a million years. These are amazing people. They respect me.'
'You can see time and time again that people wanted to get me and Joe [Hunter] out of the game. That they wanted me out,' the PhD candidate noted. 'They were coming for us because we were the strong duo and they couldn't do it. I was in this game because I am a good player and I built these social relationships that kept me here. I had strong bonds with a lot of people, great alliances.'

'So no,' Erickson added, 'I was not being treated differently because I had autism. I was being treated how I am because of the person that I am and what I built in this game. And I think that it is horrible that anyone would say that about my competitors. That they would treat me like that because no, these people are amazing people, strong character, and we all wanted to win.'
'Squelch that. Because no, not in a million years,' she stated.

On the flip side, Erickson said that the positive fan response to her openness about her autism has been 'amazing.'
'I went into 'Survivor' to play this game and you bring what you live with in your real life into 'Survivor' because it's a reflection of our society and all the unique experiences we have,' she explained. 'And so carrying this into our game and seeing the way that the competitors reacted when they got to hear my story, seeing me and Joe and seeing each of them, the people that I had never met that were on other tribes, how they reacted to my story, seeing Jeff cry. I was like, 'Wow, like, this is big.''
'And then as this aired on TV — the way that the broad audience, the world, has responded with so much positivity,' Erickson continued. 'People who have autism being like, 'I finally feel confident in myself and understanding that I am great, this isn't something I need to hide and feel bad about.' Autism is a spectrum and so many people have many, many different experiences. I'm just depicting one experience, but so many can connect to little things from what I go through.'

The horse Bobby Flay couldn't sell has long-shot Belmont Stakes dream
SARATOGA SPRINGS — At 15-1 odds, Crudo is a long shot to outrun Kentucky Derby winner Sovereignty and Preakness champion Journalism to the wire in Saturday's Belmont Stakes at Saratoga. One could argue, however, that this outcome would be no more of a surprise than the circumstances that led Crudo into the Triple Crown race in the first place for owners Bobby Flay and Jimmy Ventura and Hall of Fame trainer Todd Pletcher. 'Jimmy and I were going to buy him as a pinhook proposition — we bought him as a weanling and we were going to sell him as a yearling. We brought him to the Saratoga [Fasig-Tipton] sale, and he didn't sell, so we kept him,' Flay, the chef, restaurant magnate and Food Network star told The Post early Friday morning before visiting Crudo. 'I don't usually race colts. I usually race fillies only. But I have him, so he's racing, and he's turned out to have talent,' Flay continued. 'The Belmont Stakes is New York's most important race and as a New Yorker, it's clearly important to me.' 3 Celebrity chef Bobby Flay is pictured next to Crudo on June 6. Jason Szenes for the NY Post Flay, 60, says he's been watching horse racing since his teenage years when he and his friends from the Yorkville neighborhood in upper Manhattan would cut school and take the A train to Aqueduct. The Belmont Stakes has long been a staple of Flay's social calendar. 'I go to the Belmont every year. I usually take 20-30 people to Belmont Park and make a day out of it,' Flay said. 'It's become a tradition where I have people over to my house for brunch, everyone comes dressed in their racing gear — suits, summer dresses, hats. I feed them in the morning and then put everyone in cars and we go to Belmont and we have a day.' He said those nights usually end with a group dinner at Wolfgang's Steakhouse on 33rd Street. But Saturday, the stakes will be much higher. On Preakness Day at Pimlico, in his third career start, Crudo won the Sir Barton Stakes by 7¹/₂ lengths. Pletcher, a four-time winner in the Belmont, gave the son of 2018 Triple Crown champion Justify a few weeks to breeze, considered other options and decided to give it a go in the $2 million race. 'The horse is here, he's doing well, I don't see a whole lot of pace in the race, we've got [jockey] John Velazquez available,' Pletcher said. 'I couldn't come up with a reason not to give it a try.' Crudo's name, not surprisingly, has ties to the culinary world. 3 Bobby Flay is pictured June 6. Jason Szenes for the NY Post 'I came up with the name,' Flay said, explaining he acknowledged raw talent, though on menus everywhere the word means raw fish. 'It's so hard to name these horses. I liked the fact that it meant raw because he was such a young horse when we bought him and he had talent. 'I told Jimmy what I named him and he was like, 'Really?' He wasn't impressed,' Flay added about his partner, who is in commercial real estate and has been involved in horse racing for more than 30 years. 'Naming horses and naming restaurants. If they turn out to be good, the name makes perfect sense. It couldn't be anything else.' Flay spent much of his spring rooting on his beloved Knicks from the first few rows at Madison Square Garden. Like most fans, he reveled in the team's longest playoff run in 25 years and still is feeling the disappointment. 3 Bobby Flay and co-owner James Ventura are pictured with their horse, Crudo, on June 6. Jason Szenes for the NY Post 'I remember all the playoff seasons when we ran into Michael Jordan,' said Flay, who lists the Knicks and Yankees as his biggest sports passions. 'We were good then, but we kind of couldn't get past it. It was fun to watch those guys play this year. They're a really good team and, unfortunately, they lost to Indiana.' Flay said he was surprised at the firing of coach Tom Thibodeau. 'I am. I thought he did a good job. I mean, we beat the world champions. We beat the Celtics soundly,' he said. 'A couple things go different ways and you're in the Finals. I don't always think that new is a good idea, but it's not my team.' His team on Saturday is Crudo-Flay-Ventura-Pletcher. 'Both Bobby and Jimmy love horse racing. Bobby's been terrific to train for, for a number of years,' Pletcher said. 'He's knowledgeable and also always says, 'You can make the decision.' We've had some success together and these guys are fun to train for.'

Final 2025 Tony Awards winner odds in all 26 categories, including last-minute Best Actress in a Musical flip to Audra McDonald
After five weeks of furious debate since Tony Award nominations were announced, over 1,000 people have made their winner predictions at Gold Derby. New musical Maybe Happy Ending will lead all productions with six victories, while smash comedy Oh, Mary! will win the most trophies of any play with five. Buena Vista Social Club, Sunset Boulevard, and Stranger Things: The First Shadow will all claim multiple prizes, too. The category with the most fluctuation in our odds heading into the Tony ceremony is the highly coveted trophy for Best Actress in a Musical. Six-time Tony winner Audra McDonald had been leading our odds for her performance in Gypsy since the nominations were announced, until Sunset Boulevard's Nicole Scherzinger took the lead for the first time last week. But on Thursday, McDonald pulled ahead again, buoyed by her recent victory at the Drama Desk Awards and various Tony voter surveys noting that she has a narrow advantage, likely due to the Patti LuPone controversy.
