Survivor Fans vs. Favorites

Would be awesome. Cochran is my #1 though. I love the underdog anyway, but I especially love this underdog.

Now that Malcom is gone... I am voting for Cochran for the win ... this guy has surprised me a lot! I think he deserves it and yes it would be awesome... specially him being such a huge fan of the game.

I've always liked Malcolm so I was sad to see him go. I can't believe he couldn't find that idol. I would have been digging for it right in front of Andrea.

Me too! But I have a feeling Andrea would have started digging right beside him like a little BRAT! Uggh!! lol

Well... I just can't believe it.... after last night's tribal council... things went dark!
lol

Carol, it's like the Giants losing the world series! It's a sad day in Survivorland! I fell off the couch too!

Yes... it truly is... lol

Malcolm could have wrestled Andrea for the idol if she found it before him. Ha! I've always been a Cochran fan!! I have to say, that peanut butter bit last night was gross.

Sad for Malcolm, not sure who to root for now, likely Cochran.

Nice little blindside for dear Andrea. You've got to play the idol no matter how safe you feel. It's getting down to the wire. They better not get rid of Cochran next week!!!!

I know!! What on earth?! Just go digging for it and if you find it and she knows, so be IT! It's better to have it and have her know than NOT have it at all! Which obviously was proved in tribal council. That Andrea was pretty smart...I love that, "Are we in a standoff right now" Haha!!

I am going to be SO mad if they do! I'll be using all those tantrum pictures that Carol used in her post! Go Cochran! (And I'm writing this on Wednesday night but I don't watch the episode until Sunday night. It's torture not being able to look in this thread during that time!).

I was glad to see Brenda go home. She was a threat to all. I don't think Eddie will make it much farther. I am rooting for Cochran and Dawn.

I'm also rooting for Cochran and Dawn, however, I was sad to see Brenda go. She's a really genuine person and she would have been deserving of the title. She's strong in those immunity challenges.

I honestly think that Brenda let Dawn win! I really do. She felt bad for her with how she acted for not being able to go on that BBQ.
I could not believe Dawn would do that to her... I want anyone to win other than Dawn and Cochran - although I can't help to STILL root for Cochran a little bit! lol Ugh...
Very cruel elimination... very cruel

Well... after watching this video... I feel better

Oh she totally let Dawn win. She pretty much said that. The thing that annoys me is when contestants talk about others being so cruel. Survivor IS a game. Everyone goes into it knowing that, especially having watched the show. I don't like what they did to Brenda, but it's what happens, sooner or later, unless you win immunity challenges. It's for a million dollars. You do what you have to do to try and win. They know what they signed up for. It's kind of like, "Duh, what did you expect???" Have these contestants never seen people turn on each other? Sure they have. It's just hard to watch at home. Dawn isn't a cruel person in real life. She's in Survivor mode.

Survivor mode makes you do crazy things. After 39 days, I'd be going crazy too!

I can't agree more. Bill & I just caught up last night---we were behind two episodes. You know, I'm hoping Brenda was watching from home thinking, "Ok, now that I'm looking at it from this point of view, I can see why they voted me out." If she's not seeing that, she's just sulking. I liked Brenda too, but she WAS the biggest threat and they were right to get her out when they could. VERY smart move and I was glad that Dawn didn't turn on Cochran (at this point anyway) and gosh, between Andrea AND Brenda being voted out, and Cochran leading the way on both vote-offs, I want him to win more than ever. He is one heck of a smart player. And yes, I did feel sorry for Brenda, but it's the name of the game!

She may not be cruel, but one thing is for sure! She is a mental case!

Oh my gosh, Dawn SO needs her meds!! I am sorry, but she drives me absolutely nuts. Her boo-hooing when Brenda gave the others their 'loved ones' was beyond ridiculous and truly poor sportsmanship. I would have been beyond embarrassed if I was her husband, standing there witnessing that. Bill & I both said we feel sorry for her husband, having to deal with such an emotional basket case! Smart player this time or not, I really am not rooting for Dawn to win. Her antics are getting REALLY old.

I do agree with you---just look at Erik and how he was freaking out and is so miserable out there. But Dawn is over the top, sorry. She doesn't even ATTEMPT to control herself. And I honestly don't think that's 'just' her Surviver life--I think that's her 'real life' too. Not that she's an awful person, she's good at heart, but she has some issues for sure.


Cochran all the way!! But I'll admit, I'm worried for him. People WILL wise up and try to get rid of him, and I can see Dawn turning on him too, before it's too late. Hoping he can hang in there! I would LOVE to see him win!!

Umm Amy, it ended last night. Did you watch it. I won't say who won here, just in case.

Good thing I didn't scroll down!! Thanks Marilyn! Nope, we're behind an episode, and I won't be able to watch it until Sunday! Not sure how I'm going to remain in the dark until then!!

Just FINALLY finished the finale!! WOW, I am beyond excited that Cochran won, with EVERY vote!! He played one heck of a great game!

I was so happy that he won!! I was rooting for him from the beginning. He played a really great game. He has such a funny personality.

Interesting how they changed the after-show! I liked that they only had the jury and winners up there----who wants to hear from all the people we don't really even remember?! But I couldn't help but notice that even though there were fewer people, Jeff STILL ended up skipping speaking to like three people! Whether they're interesting or not, he should still make a point of hearing something from each and every one.

Has it EVER happened on Survivor where one person got every single vote??? THAT was cool. Love how Cochran said his mom helped dress him, after Jeff complimented how he looked!

And I thought it was pretty funny when Sherry said that she hadn't ridden coattails and then everyone on the jury laughed out loud! I've never seen anything like that! She really was clueless and truly believed she 'did something' to get there.


Also, what did everyone think about the 'teeth thing'? Gosh, I get that that was a big thing, but I think Brenda took it too far.

from what they had to pick from, its no wonder he got all the votes!
Cochran is a cool kid.....................
