Keeping a mental and physical advantage as much as possible is the only thing that counts when it's down to 6 or less.

When family enters, betrayal has already happened a few times, and the survivors get over the resentment pretty fast if they're let down. They are already thinking about themselves primarily by the time family shows up.

The producers have fine tuned the family thing down to a sharp edge, so they make for better TV than earlier, but it's always been the same, no matter when the kinfolk show up.

Yes, but did he name the tribe after her? Malcolm did so.


Dawn did close down her Twitter account. She claimed she didn't want her kids reading all the Hate. Going to guess there was some. Imagine that, idiots learned to type. There is a line that shouldn't be crossed, it is a game after all and some folks are taking it a wee bit too seriously.

Yes, it's a game I agree, but when someone behaves badly on national televison in this day and age they are pretty darn naive if they don't expect something like this to happen. I think this woman is in some serious denial as to her behavior and how it is percieved by others.

I really feel sorry for her family though. They will be the innocent victims in this whole thing. I wish for their sake that people wouldn't be posting these things. She really should have thought of this before she did what she did. Shutting down her Twitter account is not going to solve her problem.

It's just a game, true, and others have done some pretty nasty things but she did so much more than just nasty. She crossed a line that even the meanest player never crossed. I think what really got to the viewers was the smirk on her face as Brenda was leaving TC. That was the last straw. Parvatti and Jud (Fabio) pointed that out in the interview. It was there for all to see. Really bad move on Dawn's part.

I predict that on Sunday's finale, she will be all contrite and beg Brenda's forgiveness and the fake tears will flow which will make people dislike her even more because of all the tears she has already shed.

Brenda stated in her interview with Parvatti that she doesn't want to speak to Dawn but will have to at the finale. I think she will be civil and forgive her but as she said in the interview, she won't forget. She probably won't say that to Dawn though.

At this point, Dawn better hope she doesn't get to the final three, the jury will rake her over the coals. But I don't think there is a chance of that. I think it will be Cochran, Eddie and Erik.

I was impressed that Cochran knew his Mother's age, lol. I mean, how many kids keep up with that unless he just threw out a number but I actually think he's detailed enough to know and remember that.

Happy Mother's Day Weekend everyone.

Cochran is highly educated, extremely smart and has a memory like no other. I read somewhere where he can recite all the details of every Survivor show from it's beginnings and that's why Probst calls him the ultimate Survivor Fan. So remembering his mother's name is probably an easy thing for him to do.

I've always rooted for the underdog.
Picked the runt of the litter.
Cochran for the win.

Sunday will be very interesting and I can't wait to see this.
Oh okay. That's a bit better though spitting isn't an awesome image. Sunday should be pretty darned good! It's been an interesting season that's for sure. Got a little ho-hum in the middle but the start and finish have been great.

It's sad people get so mean in 'real life', I'm talking about people slamming Dawn on twitter. Sure she played Brenda badly but it's a game. Plus she didn't do anything to anyone in the twitter-sphere, so that's simply silly. It must be pretty bad if she had to close her account.
