Survivor Caramoan - Fans vs Favorites: Episode 13

Back from Tribal Council, and there is discussion swirling around about Cochran being a possible next vote. I'd be okay with this.
Dawn is conflicted as they've been buds, but what else is new? Dawn is conflicted. Call the papers.

Erik is starting to go a little crazy around camp.
He feels trapped in the "most beautiful prison" imaginable and stares at the coconuts in the tree with contempt. He says they're laughing at him.
In an attempt to show those smart ass coconuts who's boss, he tries to climb up a ridiculously high tree to get them.
He does not succeed in his mission, but he also doesn't die. That's the best we could have hoped for.

Tree mail brings videos from home which alleviates some of the crazy.

They head to their Reward Challenge, where they'll be united with their loved ones.
Brenda is so happy to see her dad that Jeff gets a little choked up at the sight.
Cochran acknowledges the thoughts in my mind by apologizing to his mother that he smells. I bet it's rull bad.

In Survivor tradition, this reward will be played with your loved one. Cochran's mother immediately apologizes for their inevitable loss. Haha! Way to bring the heat, Mom.
The challenge involves spinning poles off a post. You do this three times, put them on a rack, then huck bolos at them. First team with three bolos on the poles wins.
As was foretold, Cochran and his mom are not good at this. They are so slow they have time to chit chat while spinning the poles off the posts. Challenges: You're doing them wrong.
Brenda and her dad end up winning, and her reward is a barbecue with her loved one, and she gets to pick one other survivor/loved one duo to accompany her.
She chooses Dawn and her husband.
But wait!
Jeff has a monkey wrench to throw into your happiness. For the first time ever, each Survivor has two loved ones here on the island, and Brenda is given a choice.
She can either go on the barbecue with her two loved ones and Dawn with her two loved ones, or she can choose to double loved one the rest of the tribe.
Very cruel. Her selflessness will also now impact Dawn.
She decides to give the love to the remaining four survivors: Cochran, Sherri, Eddie, and Erik.
Dawn is crushed.

I think the worst part is that the barbecue is just offshore, where Brenda and Dawn can easily see the merriment.
It's really rough for Dawn, but lots of things are rough for Dawn. She has a lot of feels.

After the wonderful day Brenda has gifted to them, Cochran is starting to think Brenda has garnered too many karma points. She's very likable now, and he thinks should be voted out.
You fucking asshole...

Immunity Challenge
Standing on a dock, leaning over the water, and holding onto a handle behind your back, you must hold on as long as possible as Jeff slowly lets out the rope, making it suckier to hold on to.
I'm definitely rooting for Brenda because I don't trust these mofos.
Erik is clearly going to wuss out early and asks for food practically immediately. There ain't none, son!
Cochran is out first, followed by Eddie shortly after. Erik is next, and only the ladies remain.
Sherri doesn't last much longer and Dawn asks Brenda if they can strike a deal. She wants Brenda to let her have this one since she has never won one.
Brenda is no quitter and doesn't really consider voluntarily quitting.
She ends up falling, which makes me worried for her. Cochran is untrustable.

As expected, Cochran still thinks it's a good idea to get Brenda out now.
True. She's not expecting it. It will probably be harder to blindside her after Eddie's gone, but you're forgetting the part about this making you backstabbing motherfuckers.
Dawn...you said you wouldn't vote for Brenda. I remember this. Do you? When you went crazy because you lost your teef?

Tribal Council
I think Brenda should start worrying. Their words indicate thoughts. Deceitful thoughts.
I wish you had an idol to play...
The vote happens, and it's 2 for Eddie, 1 for Erik, and 3 for Brenda.
I hate all of you.
You guys all suck.
"It hurts" were Brenda's parting words.
Scum.
You're scum.
Fuck all of you.
I don't like any of you, and I don't have any preference regarding which one of you assholes wins.

Cochran: Sneaky, clever motherfucker. STATUS - Dead to me.
Dawn: Weepy, lying headcase. STATUS - Dead to me.
Sherri: Worthless and weak. STATUS - How the fuck are you still here?
Eddie: Strongish moron and last remaining Amigo. STATUS - Cockroach: He just will not go away.
Erik: Naive dunderhead that dabbles in insanity. STATUS - Not playing the game has gotten him farther than it ever should have.

At least Erik didn't vote for Brenda. I hate you the least, but you have done nothing to deserve winning.
This finale is shaping up to be anger inducing.
