Brenda and Dawn need to say good bye to their loved ones....they are all hugging Brenda, and Dawn is a freaking out.... Cochran...recalls sitting watching survivor all these years, and loving it with my mom, can't beat it....see Eddie and his mom and dad, Mom wants to fatten him up, Sheri and her son and husband, she loves him so much...she held him close, Cochran's dad and mom, Erik and his 2 brothers....Cochran has his dad, he's a neurologist with sun glasses and he's working the grill, since when are we doing that dad?! See Sherri's son take pictures with the sprint phone. See Brenda and Dawn at camp...Erik makes the heart sign and Dawn is still crying and mad now....bitter....crying all day, she's exhausted, hungry the game is breaking her down, beyond rational thinking...they all thank Brenda...Dawn earned all the good favor, and now I am so mad I could SPIT. Brenda says just let it all out, Dawn is so mad, I just want to eat, I don't even have a coconut, it's day 35...Brenda says don't lose hope, 4 days from now we will have big smiles...Dawn leaves and says that she will be back in a few moments. Brenda says that Dawn is livid and pissed off and mad...The rest of the tribe is bring stuff back for them...Brenda notes the double edged sword...it could be I will never vote out brenda or boom, I'm out, blindside.

Dawn is a basket case and is very angry and hungry and sleep deprived, she's a mess! And, poor Brenda will pay the price....Day 36...ICCome on in, guys! Show Eddie smiling as he walks in. Erik hands back the necklace...stand on a ledge over water while holding on to a bar...attached to a wench, turn it and they lean out farther until it's too hard to bear and fall in the water, last one standing, wins....Survivor is getting to be more of a torture contest...who can withstand it the longest. Eddie gets the conf: my turn to go home if I don't win... Erik says this already sucks, Erik asks about any food that he wants to tempt them with? Jiffy turns the wheel to start the torture...everybody feeling it now, Cochran starting to slip, he wants to win it....if Eddie wins it it will be a pretty stressful day at camp....and Cochran is out first. Lowers the bar, so they lean more...25 minutes....Eddie is really struggling and trying to hang in there....and he falls in! Surprise! Erik next drops out, leaving all of the women remaining...Sherri struggling and slippin in...Dawn and Brenda are left. Dawn says she wants to win the immunity, she hasn't won one and would like to...Dawn says let me have the experience of winning a challenge and let's just get Eddie out....Jiffy turns the wheel more, the 2 women that did not spend time with their loved ones battle it out, and Brenda falls and Dawn wins! She and Brenda hug...for the first time in her survivor career, she has immunity....a spot in the final five...one of you is going home tonight! Dawn, the loser wins...Brenda didn't want to give up, if it was Eddie, I would have held on alot longer, if it was anyone but dawn up there, I would have! It's all good...says Brenda...famous last words!

See a school of fish and the dolphin ...Day 36, they arrive at camp...Brenda says that the whole goal was to prevent Eddie from winning immunity...Eddie will go home tonight, then next it will be Cochran...Dawn and Brenda and Eirk talking...straight forward Eddie will go. Cochran wants Brenda to go...problem is that everyone really wants Eddie to go...Cochran and Sherri are talking, and Sherri says let's blindside Brenda now...she could go on a winning streak, she's a big threat, she hasn't betrayed anyone, she can win immunity...Dawn says what about Eddie...do you think him staying in the game will be a big threat, asks Cochran. Dawn tells Cochran that Brenda says Cochran next... Dawn says we take Eddie out tonight and then deal with this tomorrow, same thing...Cochran wants her out now because it's so easy to get her out now, she could win it, and i want to take out the biggest strategic threats, and she is one...Dawn doesn't want to let Cochran control things, last time he did and I went home, I am really confused! (that's an understatement!) Jury at TC arrive: Eddie smiles at Andrea! Dawn, wearing the IN finally, how does it feel, it's great I am safe a feeling of I did that, it's like a bucket list thing...Brenda how does it feel, it's ok because it was Dawn...so Eddie, you felt the pressure as you have since day one, that you needed to win...I have packed my bags...my one amigo fuse has run short. Brenda, won the loved ones challenge and faced with a big delimma...it was a no brainer it was hard and easy at the same time? Does a gesture from Brenda buy her life in this game, and they all agree that it does...Sherri says yes, we could n't do any thing to her tonight. Cochran says the easy vote isn't always the right vote Eddie says that he thinks this is the final send off, he's had the best time here! Dawn is not going home, Eddie is sure he IS going home! Cochran is first voter... Brenda votes Eddie, Dawn is last voter! Vote tally: no HII played...it's raining... Eddie Eddie Eirk Brenda Brenda Brenda! She says that she knew it, I was honest with uyou guys, I was genuine with you guys...she says that she knew it...she says that "it hurts", and she is crying....and Dawn is smiling, and so is Eddie....Malcolm was loving it!

38. "Jury votes" |
LAST EDITED ON 05-08-13 AT 09:20 PM (EST)So looking at the jury... Dawn is a great person to take to the Final 3. She thinks she'll be respected for her strategy, they'll just see her as the big crybaby. Brenda wouldn't vote for her no matter what. Sherri is a great person to take to the Final 3. She ticked off the 3 Amigos when she told them "Payback's a bitch." They would love to prove that to her. She has been useless in challenges and hung on like a parasite. She wouldn't even get any votes - she insulted the fans and will be written off as unworthy by every fave. None of them would want to say they lost to her. Eddie's got 4 votes locked up - Michael, Malcolm, Reynold, and Brenda. Brenda was so hurt by the three who voted her out that she would vote against all of them if given the chance. Andrea may vote for him too. Under no circumstances can anyone want to be in the F3 with him. Erik's been a wildcard. He'd have a hard time convincing a jury that he had any sort of strategy. His only chance would be to go to F3 with Sherri and Dawn - because he would be the least of the evils. Cochran - He's been in the majority alliance for the entire game. He's won 2 individual immunity challenges. He's right now got an alliance of 3 with the 2 most useless players left, whom he would beat in a landslide. As Brenda's conversations showed, he is the most dangerous place. If he's in the F3, he'll win for sure against everyone but Eddie. Edited to fix speling

Michael is Sherri's only friend on the jury; but I doubt he'd throw away his vote on her even though he would really like a Fan win, no one else is likely to give her a vote (except perhaps Brenda). Eddie would have a good chance of winning or being the runner-up, either way it's good.

This was one of the cruelest votes ever and Brenda's reaction reflected it. I'd say the invisible edit she received was to diminish any connection the viewers had to her to avoid outcries of immorality. This is a heartless game and we've had enough heartless events in then real world lately that many could be turned off.

>This was one of the cruelest >votes ever and Brenda's reaction >reflected it. I'd say the >invisible edit she received was >to diminish any connection the >viewers had to her to >avoid outcries of immorality.I had tried to post something from my tablet last night about Brenda's edit, but it didn't go through. The emphasis last night on Brenda's humility in the game really highlighted her attempt to play an honest, humble game. The editors could easily have given her a Yau Man edit and viewers would have been at least as outraged at her treatment as they were when Dreamz went back on his promise to Yau Man after receiving the truck. (I think Yau Man had something like 85% of the Fan Favorite vote that season.) But, is the cruelty more in what was done or was it seen in light of Brenda's heart-broken response and the timing? Brenda's humble, giving nature in this game are commendable, but is that the reason to hand someone a million dollars? While her humility stands in stark contrast to Corinne and Andrea's hubris before their blindsides, we have to keep in mind that she was just as strategically in this game as those who eliminated her. While she probably would have remained loyal to Dawn based on her promise after retrieving Dawn's retainer, she was gunning for Cochran on the next vote. It is heartbreaking that she was eliminated right after making such a self-less sacrifice, but as Cochran's mother pointed out, it was a potentially game winning move. Brenda has been the biggest recent challenge threat, so postponing a vote on her would have meant Cochran risked her winning immunity and his ability to lock down two of the three other players votes at F5. Not great odds. Brenda has been one of the emotionally fragile three in the past few episodes. It was heart wrenching to see how upset and personally betrayed she was feeling. I can't feel bad about Cochran and Sherrie making a strategic decision to boot her,especially when she was already making her plans to blindside one of them out of strategy. It was just horrible timing. But delaying the decision could have been a moment of strategic weakness that could have potentially cost one of them the game. Given Brenda's close emotional connection to Dawn, it is easy to see this as much more of a personal betrayal. In light of the experiences they shared it comes off as much more cruel and will probably cost Dawn the game. IT also sets Brenda up as the bitter juror who gives some type of Sue Hawk speech while railing at the finalists. But these responses always trouble me. Survival instinct in the end game is always remove the biggest threat. Is Brenda's argument that she should not have been blindsided the fact that she was selfless and giving, making her a better person, more deserving of the win? I think you just have to ask Coby Donaldson and Lil about what happens when victory is within your grasp and you send the "better person" to the finals.

46. "RE: The Invisible Edit" |
I've been saying for a long time that a reason for an invisible edit is to avoid making a likable character out of someone that was going to be eliminated by the eventual winner. Here, I don't think it was done to protect either Dawn or Cochran as much as to protect the game itself. Survivor is an evil, heartless game and there's been a lot of that running around in the real world lately. While we enjoy the game this move would have been too much for many if we had connected with Brenda from the start.

It was a great move for Cochran and Sherri but a horrible emotional selfish move by Dawn. Dawns best move would have been to either get rid of Eddie as planned or blindside Cochran. Dawn just made herself even more appealing to take to the final 2 or 3 but she didn't increase her odds to win the game. (though yes you have to be there to have a shot to win it and maybe she thinks she could just cry as an entire reason for people to give her the million).

49. "RE: The Invisible Edit" |
I think that she really believes that her decision to "act and not play a passive game will win her votes. As I've tried to say above, she doesn't realize the level of emotional damage she is leaving in her wake. (or how unstable she appears to others) Cochran is more self-aware as to how he is seen in the game and has played on those assumptions all along. If you are going to play cut-throat strategist, you can't leave as much collateral damage behind. With Brenda she: 1) turned her back on the "moment" they shared with the retainer, where Brenda kept her confidence and pledged her loyalty and 2) she talked highly about Brenda at TC and about how she should go further in the game. By contrast. Cochran has admitted in previous TC that they all have promised Final 3 to multip0le players and he kept his commentary neutral--about strategy, not individual;s. Dawn's betrayal will be taken much more personally than Cochran's.

50. "RE: The Invisible Edit" |
This morning I saw on Facebook that Dawns Twitter account blew up last night with hatred. That really made me sad. I again have watched the game for each season and I really feel that when the times comes Dawn will be able to explain her decision. Personally, if I would have been in Dawns shoes, I would have told Eddie to vote for Brenda and Dawn throw her vote away on Erik or even Cochran, just to throw one his way. But again, she has told us how many times, she lost it last time due to not making the big moves. Brenda...seriously, maybe she didn't do any confessionals this year, maybe she decided to zip it and just be there...we really don't know. I do feel that when the final comments come out that Dawn will find the strength and it will be a two way commentary between her and John and it could be a toss up, right to the end...everyone except Brenda's vote. I've always liked Dawn. I think her breakdowns have happened more in front of the confessionals and not the tribe. They have seen a few of them, but we have seen all of them. She is playing a good game. And now that Brenda told the confessional that she let go because it was Dawn that was left standing, is even a more pissy thing to say to the cameras. If she made that decision not to hold on for 4 hours and win, she should have been voted out...without any hesitation. She was definately the biggest threat...out of the final 6. Everyone needs to get over it...this is a game, it isn't a social party to make friends, but to win 1 million dollars. Dawn and Cochran knows this...and will pull it off.

Everyone has the right to their own opinion about any decisions Dawn makes during the game. That includes those who think she backstabed Brenda. I guess that it isn't so much that she voted for Brenda at tribal, but how she went about it. Dawn truly has shown that she will do anything for money. And what's with all the crying? If it's to get the jury to vote for her at final tribal, then I can understand it as part of her plan. But seriously it really gets on your nerves watching her break down and cry at the drop of a hat. I hope she does not win the game.

Brenda.stopped.playing. She assumed that the Eddie plan was set in stone. She forgot that when Fillup! got too complacent, he was gone. When Andrea got too complacent, she was gone. She forgot that playing a humble game wouldn't protect the cutthroat moves that happen over and over in Survivor.Most of the people seem to be forgetting that they need to keep their eye on the prize. Sherri forgets when she spouts off at TC that she's going to need their votes at the end to win (like she taunted the Amigos, payback's a bitch). Dawn's forgotten that just because you have a necklace around your neck, you should not be smiling so widely while you put a dagger between someone's shoulder blades...especially when you spend so much of the rest of the time crying your eyes out. Eddie's has gotten so used to being at the bottom of the pole that he's staying in that position waiting to be picked off. Erik's shutting down physically which is taking him out of playing. Then there's Cochran, who's aware that he could have an expiration date. The Cochran who listens when his mother whispers that Brenda's gonna win. Part of me wonders if I'm even gonna watch on Sunday, since there are other shows on at the same time where I'm less sure how the fictional shows are going to end.

"Brenda.stopped.playing."That's really an oversimplification. I assure you that no one EVER stops playing. Imagine that a vote is like the bullet in a gun then each player always has a finger on the trigger and aims that gun at everyone all the time. They also see the others with their guns and know that they are targets also. It's maddening. It's just for their own sanity that, when a plan seems in place, they relax just a bit. However, like almost everyone has ever said, you always enter TC thinking it could be you. Brenda knew it could be her but she trusted Dawn. Foolish? Maybe but Dawn's best moves would have been to eliminate first Eddie and then Cochran. Brenda had reason to think the plan was solid because it was the "best" move. This wasn't just an ordinary blindside. This was like Dreamz taking Yau Man's truck and keeping the necklace. It was like Stephenie going on reward with Judd, telling his wife that they were good to the end and then voting him out. The difference? The audience knew that Dreamz wasn't trustworthy while they wanted Judd gone. Dawn used to be the nicest person ever while Brenda was truly honest. PS. Phillip didn't get complacent; he faced two idols and a necklace as stoically as possible.

You have a point there! He would never have beaten Reynold and he knew it.
