LAST EDITED ON 11-11-11 AT 04:59 PM (EST)What could have happened or should have happened is probably quite different than what did happen...
This would have been the point at which the outsiders could have united and made their move. If Rick and Edna would have recognized their status in the dominant alliance, and approached Dawn, Whitney and Cochran, they could have taken control of the game from Coach, Sophie, Albert and Brandon with a 5-4 vote followed by a 5-3 vote. While less predicatable and a bit risky, it would have breathed new life and possibilities into all their end-games.
However, as it appears, the editing is trying to create drama and suspense where there is none, so Whitney and Dawn are most likely going to Redemption Island.
