Reynold/Eddie were just bitter because Sherri and her group decimated their alliance.  And she's the main reason why they couldn't get out of the minority in any group they're in. |

At the end I was starting to think Dawn had a chance, but I think Cochran is a very deserving winner.
Sherri should have gotten some credit. Yes, she was kind of carried to the final 3 but she would have had a lot worse placing if she had stayed with the fans. I guess she was just supposed to let the jock alliance just walk all over her?
Then again I've never understood why Malcolm/Eddie/Reynold were so popular. There were people all over saying that Malcolm and/or Eddie should have won.... why?! Eddie was a nice guy but voted in the majority like once. And Malcolm would have been out a lot sooner if it wasn't for him "finding" all the idols.

I am so glad Cochran won, he played a amazing game. Out of everyone i have seen come back and play their 2nd game he has probley impressed me the most of how much he changed his game around.
If someone would of told me after watching his first season that he would come back again and play such a stratigic game, win four immunity challenges and win the game with a perfect sweep would of told them they were absolutely insane

Ok that is a good reason... she should have brought that up. She should have said look I was in the minority I made a bond and we worked together. She needed to accept that she was carried and use it to her advantage. I am sorry I just did not see how she played the game even close to the way Dawn or Cocharan played it. Also Eddie and Reynolds did go to her to jump over to their side and she agreed and went back on it. You have to remember in the game when you make empty promises and you make it to the end they are most likely going to be some irritated jury members. Again it is that thin line you have to play with and make work and I just did not see her do that AT ALL!! Even Phillip went after her.... |

As much as I hate when players return, I was glad to see Cocharan and Dawn. Brenda grew on me very early on, and I realized I did not like any of the new players so I rooted for the above 3 the entire game. Dawn irritated me with all her crying and I started to root for Brenda over Dawn. When Dawn did Brenda wrong, really really wrong, my sole desire was to see Cocharan win it.
In my opinion Sherri had control until her puppet (guy with eye injury) was taken out. She made a smart move infiltrating the Stelth R Us but then she did nothing except do what she was told. I agree with Ade in that had she owned up to being dragged along, but explained how and why she got there, she may have had a little more hope to gain a vote. After exploding at Eric (?) in the jury questions, her game was over and she knew it.
I really did think that Dawn convinced Malcolm for his vote. I didnt expect Cocharan to have a clean sweep, but I was thrilled about it.
Cant wait to see gorgeous Brenda pop out an equally beautiful baby! Brenda, as far as Im concerned is the sweetest person they ever had on the show and I would love to have her as a friend.
I can not understand why Malcolm won the Fan Favorite (didnt he win it last season too?) I really do believe that the producers led him to his idols somehow. Wasnt there a rumor that they told someone else in a previous season where to find the idols?
The way the show has been run for the past season is really starting to irk me. It seems like they "fix" it somehow now...AND I hate that they keep bringing back players, it ruins my opportunity to try to get on the show.

I love Brenda, and I love that you love Brenda too! Although I wouldn't say she's the "sweetest" person, because she could be quite cut throat. In Survivor Nicaragua she was taken out for being a threat, and I remember her getting somewhat of a bad edit. Hence during the family reunion episode her father's advice was "be humble" because in her original season she wasn't. And when she was voted out, as much as it was a sucky way to go, the way she held a grudge wasn't really what a sweet person would do. Which is why I also love Andrea because she knows it's just a game and can even laugh at her mistakes. And she's a good player, but she just can't seem to figure out her real threats. I agree about the past few seasons seeming like it's fixed. How many "storybook endings" had we had recently? Boston Rob winning his season is a great example of another "fixed" season. The Malcolm Lovefest is so fixed. Mind you, they shot this season even BEFORE Survivor: Philippines aired, so it's like they KNEW he'll be a favorite. Obviously, the editors helped out a lot with this as well. Sherri had control until there the swap. She was lucky at that point to reach the merge, because had they lost just one challenge she would have been voted out for sure. But then again, who knows, maybe the fans would have taken her in and voted out Eddie/Reynold for being a potential merge threat. |

Oh dont get me wrong. I didnt like Brenda much during her first season but this season she showed real compassion and I grew to love her. I think she was so devoted to Dawn that getting voted out by her was very painful. She knew she was wrong to "hate" and hold a grudge and she showed that during her satellite interview. She accepted Dawn's apology. She is human, she's allowed to have pain, but it seems to me that she has moved on. I still say she's sweet!  Now dont hate me JP....I cant stand Andrea, but I did admire her sense of humor getting blindsided. Im sure I would not handle being blindsided too well, but then again, just being on the show would be a gift so maybe I would take it in stride...I just dont know. |

JP I'm with you. Big fan of Andrea's. She played a great game and her attitude at her high or at her low was very positive.
Bettina I gotta disagree on Brenda being the sweetest player to ever play. I think if you go back to the old days and talk about the Colleen's, Elizabeth's, etc you got some real sweethearts. Brenda may be at peace but she's also very stubborn in a healthy competitive way.
And yeah the whole Malcolm love thing seems very doctored up. He was helped a little too much. Much like seems to be par for the course lately on the show.
Also, is anyone upset that the reunion didn't feature pre-merge players? We couldn't hear from Shamar, Brandon, Corinne, Hope, Allie, Francesca?? I heard it was all because the Hantz's wern't allowed in the building. So they saved face by not featuring anyone pre-merge.

I have to check the show again, but I thought they were on stage once, then after a commercial break, they were gone. (Maybe I was hallucinating lol). I didn't mind not seeing any of the pre-merge boots. The editors made sure we don't care for any of them I think.
