Survivor: Caramoan — Fans vs. Favorites

Depends on how you define weak. I think Cochran has played an almost perfect game in terms of the Outwit aspect. Of the players left, I hope he’s the winner.

On the flip side of that...anybody but Dawn.

[Hot Tabasco]

The last episode I watched was when the hispanic guy with the tattoos went off on the secret agent phoney, calling him a bitch. I thought for sure he was going to kick his ass......at least I was hoping he would....LOL!

[Bikkuri]

I saw it coming, but it still ticked me off.. Brenda is so different this season, she truly deserves to win this. I hope she at least wind Favorite..

Dawn... she makes me sick every time I see her ugly whiny mug on the screen :/ (I know “it’s just a game”... but, seriously, this wench is a whiny unstable loser :p)

I am hoping that Eddie wins this.. no one there left that I actually like :p

[Bikkuri]

That was Russle’s nephew Brandon... he turned out as bad, if not worse, than Russle... and I never liked his personality :p

[Bikkuri]

Cochran = cockroach >.<

[Lee'sGhost]

Haha... I don’t necessarily like him, I’m just saying he’s playing the game well.

[Uncle Chip]

There was no strategic reason for this vote as the three weaklings had the vote advantage no matter what going forward. After Eddie they could have voted Brenda out easily and it would have made more sense since she was less of a challenge threat than Eddie. This was pure meanness and beyond the realm.

It ranks as one of the worst episodes Survivor has ever put out. The crocodile tears on Probst’s face followed by putting that barge offshore with everybody waving and rubbing it in and thanking Brenda — and then voting her out hours later. That was ruthlesss and un-called for. It was just plain ugly. This was also Dawn’s way of taking vengeance on Brenda for giving up the reward to the other 4.

I suspect that after the final when Dawn doesn’t win anything that she will wind up in a mental hospital. I feel sorry for her husband and children that have to put up with her.

I wonder how many boos there will be in the audience when Cochran, Dawn, and Sherry are introduced at the final.

[PeteB570]

I’d say not any.

There will be cheers for Cochran - and the two toadies will think it’s for all three.

Cochran is playing a superb mental game this season - but he needs to give a big pat on the back to Dawn - his number one toady.

Malcolm, Corrine and Brenda all have Dawn to thank for their boots.

[Uncle Chip]

Cochran does have the psychology of the game down pretty well or atleast he is willing to put it into words:

1] The game doesn’t start until you lose a challenge and have to vote someone off.

2] [After Brenda giving up the award challenge] This isn’t the part of the game where being liked by others is of particular value.

[Bikkuri]

Right after every episode, I log onto IMDB (ya, I know.. extreme lib and queer release area >.<) to read the comments..

Someone gave spoilers there, not that I believe the spoilers, but it has proven there is a leak in previous episodes; and I won’t spoil it for anyone here.. but something you said DOES go along with some of the spoilers :p

On a positive note, MANY peeps on IMDB are along the same lines of your and my thinking... it was very cold-hearted.

I hope Eddie wins (hoping spoilers prove to be wrong)..

[Bikkuri]

btw, I have to avoid the Survivor threads here, since I have to download the episodes.. :)

So, usually, I am hours behind on the comments :p

[Uncle Chip]

In the previews it looks like someone else gets injured in the next/final episode. I hope it’s not Eddie or Eric.

[MomwithHope]

Cochran deserves to win, he has played a near perfect game. Dawn is nuts, can’t stand her face in the camera anymore. Probably Cochran is hoping to take Dawn and Sandy (?) who has flown under the radar so much, with him to the end. I like Eddie and if he makes it to the final 3 he has a real shot of winning. Cochran is less of a jerk this time, and he loves his mom so he can’t be all bad.

I totally enjoy Cochran and his comments. He has played a masterful game. Not the typical Survivor by any means.

As for Brenda’s boot being “cold-hearted,” give me a break. Cochran engineered it, and it was pure strategy. They are playing the game. Brenda was terrific at challenges, well-liked, and a likely winner — so she had to go.

“Heart” has been the downfall of many in this game. Outwit, Outlast, Outplay.

[bgill]

Dawn losing it again, “But I didn’t even have a coconut!!!” Did she go 5 minutes without crying this whole episode> She’s so evil and hateful. Brenda has had her back and done so much for her throughout the season but Dawn is a snake. She’s more mental than Brandon ever thought about being. Brenda should have grabbed Dawn’s teeth on the way out and told her finders keepers.

Boo freakin’ hoo. 27 days without having a bbq with your family. They saw them for at least 3-4 hours during the staging and backlighting and all the other behind the scenes hoopla. It’s not like they’re not going to be home in a few days anyway. Get over the drama!

The family challenge has always been the one to lose. It’s always been the one to paint a target on someone’s back. Wake up constestants, hide in the middle and pray you don’t get picked by the winner.

Oookkkayyy, what’s with John Cochran’s mama calling him Cochran?

Erik crying? Buck up, big baby. Mark is going to be forced to bring a therapy couch out on the beach next season. Kicking myself for liking him last week. Again, why isn’t anyone fishing? Go foraging! Did no one research edible wild plants before they left home? Did no one research how to fashion a fish trap on the internet? After 16 years, they’re still having trouble with fire. They will be the first zombies during TEOTWAWKI.

[Uncle Chip]

Cochran was the only one smart enough to have his mom at the reward challenge -- guaranteeing that he would lose it -- but still enjoy the fruits of it -- with no subsequent consequences from the likes of his nutcase sidekick or othwers.

He definitely has the Outwit and Outsmart part down.

[I Drive Too Fast]

IF you are smart you tell your loved one that you DON’T want to win this reward challenge.

[Bikkuri]

In the previews it looks like someone else gets injured in the next/final episode. I hope it’s not Eddie or Eric.

Likewise... only 2 I hope to win at this point... Sure we will both be disappointed though :/

[silverleaf]

I now have a reason to watch the rerst of this season and see neurotic beyotch Dawn get zero votes if she makes it to final tribal

Funny to watch her self delusional comments about how hard she worked and deserved to earn immunity, while Brenda smiled

Bet Brenda wishes she would have left Dawn’s false teeth in the lagoon
