Another Survivor Comes to a Close

WOW.  I can't believe we're almost at the end.  Good season, I think.  I'll be sending out a message to those who I think owe me moola a little bit later today.

Last time was a double elimination night with Reynolds of course going but a blindside of Andrea-with an immunity idol in her pocket!  So tonight's definitely Eddie, right??

Eddie: "man, all the chicks I go out with end up going home".  Yea, touch of death, Eddie.  He found lurve how many times in a 35 day period??  He and Cochran are sitting around talking.  "So, Eddie, if you get immunity who do you think is going home? "  "Oh, you are, Cochran".  WHAT??  Here he thought everyone pictured him as a skinny weak non threat instead of the mastermind with a PhD in Survivor. 

Dawn: I have 2 ways to go.  Either join Sherri and Cochran or Brenda and Erik for final 3.  Then she cries about it.

Erik is starving and frankly losing his marbles.  He decides a coconut is mocking him and wants to climb a huge tree to get it.  About halfway up he realizes he could fall and be out of Survivor yet again, so he comes down. 

Tree Mail, brought to you by SPRINT (ding).  It's videos of the loved ones who are obviously on the island.  So it's the family member challenge.

Brenda's Dad is there-and their reunion gets Jeff all choked up for the first time in 26 seasons.  Uhuh.  It's either Low T Jeff or that crappy Oprah light show you host. 
Erik's brother, Sherri's husband-and is it me or is she a cougar??  Cochran's cute mom-"sorry I smell, Mom".  Eddie's Big Dad and finally Dawn's husband.  She cries.

Wanna know what you're playing for?  A backyard BBQ set up right off of your beach.  Challenge is to spin around and around to unscrew a rail, hang it on a rack and they play toss the bolos onto the rails. 

Cochran and his mom are totally out of this one.  He starts to make small talk about her flight over. 

Brenda and her Dad win immunity!  And Jeff tells her to pick one other person.  She picks Dawn, who cries. 

BUT WAIT, there's a twist never before seen in Survivor.  Brenda gets another SPRINT phone (ding ding) with a picture of a second loved one for everyone.  The twist is she can pick another survivor to get to see their 2 loved ones and BBQ OR she can give it up for Dawn and herself and give the other 4 the chance to see loved ones.  Dawn is crying.  Brenda OF COURSE gives it up. 

So the 4 of them and their loved ones have a great BBQ.  Everyone is meeting and greeting and Erik and his brothers just sit down to chow.  Cochran talks about being 13 years old and watching the first episode with his Mom (I watched it too) and everyone since and now getting to share this with her.  But then he starts mocking his Dad who is in sunglasses and manning the grill-"Dad's acting all hollywood.  Since when are we BBQing DAD???  LOL.

Back at camp Dawn is just flat out losing it.  "Brenda is going to get good will, and they all get their loved ones and I get nothing.  She's crying and really really pissed OFF. 

Later Cochran admits that likeability is a double edged sword...

Challenge:  It's a hang over the water while Jeff lowers them with a winch challenge. And frankly I hope they have had tetanus shots because everything looks all rusty to me.  Eddie knows that if he loses he's gone. 

He and Cochran and the first 2 to go!  And everyone is smiling.  Sherri is also out and it's down to Dawn and Brenda.  Dawn tries to make a deal with Brenda since she's never won immunity, and since Eddie's already lost but Brenda shuts it down.  Dawn "I just don't want to do this for hours".  Dawn wins immunity.  And cries.  Brenda: "Gotta keep paranoid Dawn happy". 

Sooooo, it's Eddie, right??

Cochran really wants Brenda to go.  He kinda hints that he wants a different outcome than Eddie to Sherri, and she's like "so if you're thinking Brenda in a blindside I'm totally for it".  He and Dawn talk about whether it's a bigger threat to let Eddie get any farther in the game (I THINK IT IS), or if it's more dangerous to keep Brenda in given she is a challenge winner and everyone loves her. 

Tribal, and Mr Low T is in Dark Blue.

Dawn, you have immunity!  Yep, it feels good, it was on my bucket list.
Brenda: It was OK that I lost because I lost to Dawn.
Eddie, so is your luck about to run out tonight?  Probably Jeff, which is OK because I want a couple nights to shag Andrea before I go home to my other 4 girlfriends.
Dawn" Does a gesture like Brenda made buy her anything?  Yep
Sherri: Yep it does.
Cochran: Eddie is an easy vote, but is it a smart vote??
Eddie: ha ha, I'm toast Jeff.

Vote.  Eddie gets 2 votes, Erik gets one and Brenda is the last person blindsided! 

She's pretty upset.  "I was honest with you guys!!  It hurts".  Eddie just sits there looking stupid again.

May the best person (DAWN) win!!!
