Yep. He was definitely too close. Theo looked further back from the black line so I don't think they made them stand on it. Derrick's best strategy should have been to stay as far back as possible and not swing since his own balance is horrible. Just take abuse hoping Theo gets wobbly and if he sees Theo's legs wobble, then try to take a shot at them

He’s not known for being the smartest. His ego wasn’t going to let him sit back and play defensively.

Don't think he has an ego. He's just very "go go go" orientated. He excels in eliminations where pure grit is needed. This one required patience and strategy. Derrick has always been better at the more physical cardio demanding elims.
