I totally agree! Cochran may have been the one who flipped and thus was the immediate cause of the fall of the Savaii six, but Keith, Ozzy and Whitney could have done so much more to prevent his flipping by just treating him nicer or at least by making him feel more comfortable -- and Dawn herself had noticed that in the Insider.

Jim and Dawn herself could have at least minimized the damage of Cochran's flipping. Jim himself could have prevented the flipping by using his own love of strategy to form a Final 3 alliance with Cochran and Dawn. And Dawn could have realized that Cochran's feeling so alienated from his tribe might make him even more vulnerable to flipping than fear of the purple rock itself. Or if she truly believed that fear of the purple rock was the only reason Cochran might want to flip, she could have urged Ozzy to give Cochran the necklace.

Meanwhile, what did we see from Upolu? We saw a unified tribe that remained so because Coach, Albert and Sophie did their best to make the outliers feel comfortable. We also saw them offer Cochran a Final 4 deal (albeit on the Insider) -- which appears to be much more than Cochran ever got from Savaii! Savaii's failure in the social game and strategic game left the door open for Upolu to take control. That is the fault of Jim, Keith, Ozzy, Whitney and even Dawn, not just Cochran alone!
