    thats why you keep the prize for yourself, bc those ungrateful b*stard will accept ur kindness and then turn around and use it as a reason as to why you should be voted out. Other than Cochran, there really is no strategic/threatening player left. The ones left remaining road the coattails of the real players and are now left with a bunch of followers.

    Strategically, Cochran has utterly dominated this season.

    If he can make it to the final 3, I think he wins it hands down. Dawn has screwed pretty much everybody that's trusted her, she'd be great to take to the final 3.

    I can't stand the sight of Dawn's face anymore. The incessant crying over nothing is unbearable and for all of her efforts to, in her words, "not compromise my beliefs or my friendships for the sake of a game", she has now stabbed several people in the back. Plus, she looks like someone beat her with an ugly stick. Twice.

    I'm glad she got screwed out of the reward and that Brenda is the one who did it. They really did Brenda dirty last night...she didn't deserve that. She should've told Dawn on her way out that she threw the challenge on puroose and that Dawn didn't earn it. She was so proud of herself for finally winning one...I'd have let her know that didn't really earn it.

    I respect Cochran. He thought of the plan, Dawn just followed his lead. She rides other players momentum and never has any of her own.

    Also why the hell was Dawn smiling when Brenda got eliminated? She acted like Brenda wronged her by letting the rest of the survivors eat with their family. Out of all the survivors, Brenda DID choose you initially and then you act like a prissy, ungrateful b**** when she's trying to console you?

    Dawn is all kinds of emotional crazy, I don't know how she could blame Brenda. You kind of have to keep the majority happy as opposed to 2 people. I hope Dawn makes it to the final 3 because she's going to get ripped apart by the jury.

    This is what I found

    Name (Age): Dawn Meehan (41)
    Tribe designation: Savaii
    Current residence: South Jordan, Utah
    Occupation: English Professor at Brigham Young University
    Personal claim to fame: "Adopting our six children."

    http://survivor.wikia.com/wiki/Dawn_Meehan

    If that age is right, she looks pretty terrible for 41....

    Dirty? Did you see her last time she was on the show? Don't think that wasn't premeditated, Brenda was making jury friends, and just wasn't smart enough (as smart as she thinks she is) to realize what a target that made her, especially when she's all about demonstrating how competitive she is. Brenda should have known it wouldn't gain her anything but a target, and stuck with what she chose originally.

    Dawn is completely irritating, but it was the right move to get Brenda out now. I will say though, that Brenda has played a less skeevey game this time around, and I am sure that she was shocked by them taking advantage of this opportunity. Hated to see her go this time, really, but it was the best time to get her out.

    Solid move, but i can see why Brenda would be hurt by it, especially with Dawn in on it.

    I had a different view of Brenda coming into this season because of her past appearance. I guess that's why her dad told her to be humble, unfortunately, you can't try to be more innocent and holy the second time around because it's hard to believe it's just not game play.

    Cochran is killing it, but needs to take out Eric ASAP. He's gonna come in and beast on them all, if he's not taken out. Can't be with him in final 3.

    Eddie is hilarious. He's always expecting to go home every week for the last 10 episodes but he sticks around with his goofy ass smile. He quits a challenge in like 10 seconds to eat cookies when he's the number 1 target at the time. Considering how athletic he looks he's not very competitive at all. You could see Malcolm and Reynold cracking up everytime he talked at the last tribal council. Kinda hope he wins it all just for ****s and giggles.

    I never saw the previous season with Brenda on it but she impressed me this season. She didn't backstab anybody (I don't consider the Andrea blindside a betrayal since Andrea was rallying the alliance to get her out) and played a relatively clean game all while being very competitive in challenges which is surprising considering how tiny she is. You appear to strong and likable and that's a death sentence in this game though. A big mistake was denying the deal with Dawn for the challenge win, and then letting her win after. I think could've easily won it herself. Dawn the bipolar wreck she is probably took that personally. I got a Cochran as the favorite but theirs the possibility he could be blind sided himself if he doesn't win immunity.

    All Eddie needs to do is win two immunities and he gets an easy million... Considering how well he's done in challenges maybe not so easy million

    you know what's interesting...while i certainly don't give him credit for getting this far, i don't think he's an idiot either, but all that aside: i've always wondered what would happen if people on the wrong side of the numbers just shut their mouth, don't act desperate, and don't ruffle feathers. it's easier said than done, but i've always thought that acting in that manner and letting/hoping some of the remaining people figure it out for themselves would be their best/only shot of advancing far enough to get back into the mix (outside of going on a run of winning literally every remaining immunity challenge).

    unless there has been some massive editing, i think that's what we've seen here.

    ^^^ I think it does work, or at least takes you a few weeks further into the game. Reynold and Malcolm were always big threats, but it wasn't until they opened their mouths that people voted them off. Contestants will over think everything so much, the worst thing you can do is make things clear for them and remind them how big a of threat you really are.
