Andrea's big mouth and overconfidence is what got her voted off. She made a big mistake by not playing the idol. Not disappointed to see Reynold go.
That was all kinds of awesome. Andrea's days have been numbered for a while. She was playing too openly aggressive and sharing her strategy with too many people. It's funny when someone who starts telling multiple people they have to blindside someone for being a strategic threat and the hypocrisy is completely lost on them. Especially when they have an idol and despite having that inkling of being targeted, still don't play it at tribal council.
Would love to see any combination of Brenda/Cochran/Dawn/Eric in the final. Dawn has zero chance winning this thing (thus far), but she's just so darn likable.

I'm glad didn't vote for Brenda. That would have been a terrible thing to do after Brenda retrieved her teeth.
LOL, Brenda retrieved her teeth? What did I miss? I was only half watching last night.

^ Brenda actually retrieved Dawn's teeth in a previous episode, Stockard.

Yeah, it was in the episode where Dawn stopped crying every ten minutes and started crying every five minutes.
That was a great blindside. She stood on that thing for hours to win the immunity idol. Then worried about Brenda for doing the same. She really thought she was safe? The jury looked pretty thrilled about the whole thing, though!
What the hell are these evil games that the producers of SURVIVOR are playing? I DESPISE this dilemna they put Brenda in. Why make Brenda choose to bring another couple on her reward, only to suddenly PUNISH them by potentially taking it back?
EVIL EVIL EVIL
UNFAIR
wow, they were smart to vote Brenda off. But poor Brenda.
I hope Dawn or Cochran win.
I felt so bad for Brenda but it was he smart thing for them to do.
That was cold. Strategically smart, but ice cold. But even if Eddie had stayed, Brenda would have had to win every immunity to make it to the end. She got Cirie'd. Sad to see her get voted off.
Why make Brenda choose to bring another couple on her reward, only to suddenly PUNISH them by potentially taking it back?
It was just a more cruel variation on their usual friends and family episode (especially the bit where the reward was right in front of Dawn and Brenda). Dawn was collateral damage. The rest of it was completely expected. That whole reward was a real nasty piece of work on the part of the producers.
I really hope Cochran or Dawn can pull off the win. I love them both so much.
I'm Team Dawn, but wouldn't mind a win by Cochran...
Brutal blindside tonight.
Cruel twist to the reward challenge.
How could Dawn turn on Brenda after the whole teeth incident? Are you kidding me? After tonight I'm hoping for an Eddie-Eric final two. Whatever..

It's always interesting to me how we all tend to respond to different people, because Dawn drives me crazy.
The scruffier Eric gets, the more he looks like an ex of mine. I'd probably think he was cuter if it wasn't for that dopey hair. I don't mind long hair on guys, but the bangs are just too much for me.
It's been this way for years. If there is one challenge to throw, it's the loved ones challenge! Whoever wins ALWAYS is put in a lose-lose situation. Yes, it was cruel for the reward to be that close to camp, but I can't say I was really surprised.
Brenda's 'sign-off' speech at the very end was really heart-breaking. She was SO HURT.
I don't blame her.

That was not an easy elimination last night. I really liked Brenda and I felt bad to see her go. She looked very sad during her final words. I'm looking forward to the season finale on Sunday. I did not really like the decision for the loved ones.

Yeah, winning the loved one challenge usually sucks, but this was a new level of cruel.
I can't stand Dawn either. I'm rooting for Cochran all the way (now that Brenda's gone).
What a bad episode for her - winning that awful choice and then getting blindsided on top of it. I almost wonder if you're better off just saying "screw it, I'm taking the award" - if you're going to get screwed anyway...
And with that, Cochran just won SURVIVOR. If he didn't get that immunity, they would have figured out they needed to vote him off. Good for him. He's one of the few contestants in SURVIVOR history that will become a winner while still being universally well-liked, not to mention smart. He successfully did outwit, outsmart, and outplay, and he kept his dignity.
OMG, I cant believe that Brenda asked Dawn to take out her teeth, and I cant believe she did it!! That image is going to become an instant trending gif.
Dawn doesn't have a chance, but I do have a lot of respect for her as a person. She does lack strength in hiding her emotions, but she managed to survive.

Blood vs Water clearly means people who are related will be playing, right?

If a Hantz returns, I will not watch.

Oh god, I hadn't even thought of that. I won't, either.
But maybe it's just like family members? How about 16 players, containing two sets of people from 8 families. Then put them on different tribes.

I can't believe Brenda asked Dawn to humiliate herself like that. I'm glad the two are ok with each other now, but I'll forever hate Brenda now.
