The former alliance stuck together and split the vote between Malcolm and Reynold, and eliminating Malcolm because he brought a clue to the Idol.

The women voted out Reynold next. When the last remaining Amigo , Eddie, failed to win immunity, he appeared to be doomed. Andrea, however, had been campaigning for Brenda's elimination for being a jury threat.

Dawn and Cochran decided to stick with the original target, Eddie. Andrea was blindsided when Sherri Biethman chose to vote her out over Eddie or Brenda. However, Brenda gave up hers and Dawn's right to spend with their families to the other four castaways. Dawn was very upset with Brenda's decision. At the Immunity Challenge, it came down to Dawn and Brenda. Dawn outlasted Brenda to win immunity. After the challenge, Cochran wanted Brenda gone as a possible threat to win jury votes, and since he also knew Brenda had been plotting with Dawn and Erik to eliminate him.

Dawn was hesitant to commit because of all the kindness Brenda had done for her. In the end, Dawn went along with Cochran and Sherri and voted against Brenda, leaving the latter devastated and Erik stunned. While walking back to camp, Erik collapsed. The medics declared Erik unfit to continue and had him pulled out the camp, leaving Dawn shocked and saddened. In the final immunity, Dawn was able to catch up with Cochran despite his advantage he won in the Reward Challenge. In the end, Cochran won the final immunity.

He was sure of taking Sherri to the end as the easiest opponent, leaving Dawn in some danger as he and Sherri debated between her and Eddie as the 3rd finalist.

Sherri feared Dawn in a final because she thought that she would play the sympathy card to gain votes. Cochran wondered whom would be easier to beat, Dawn or Eddie. Dawn reminded Cochran and Sherri that Eddie had some good friends and sure votes on the jury, particularly Reynold and Malcolm, and would be much more dangerous to Cochran's winning.

Cochran agreed, and when the vote came, outsider Eddie was voted out. At Final Tribal Council , Dawn kept a calm and composed demeanor despite receiving the brunt of the jury's criticism.

She pleaded her case to the jury, telling them she played more cold-blooded this time around. The jury generally disliked her game on account of her backstabbing and insincerity, as well as her inability to separate emotion from the game. Most memorably, Brenda requested Dawn to take out her retainer, which after an argument Dawn complied.

Dawn earned no jury votes and tied with Sherri against Cochran, who won unanimously. Survivor Wiki Explore. Goliath More Ghost Island Heroes vs. Healers vs. Hustlers Game Changers Millennials vs. About Survivor. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account?

Survivor U. Dawn Meehan. And I knew going into season 26 that I was going to play for my family and no one else: no matter the pain, the crying, the hunger, the injuries, the loneliness That took a huge emotional toll on myself AND so many players in the game.

So season 26 was hard for me to wrap my brain around. Less so now, but I'd be lying if I didn't tell you that I've spent a lot of time rethinking those experiences in season That in season 23 I was super close with Whitney I don't think the edit shows that.

I adore Whitney. And then, in season 26, I was super close with Corinne. In all honesty, THAT decision to vote her out physically hurt. Thankfully, we are still friends. She is one of the most genuine and hilarious people I know. I feel like my edit was a complete representation of me "in real life.

I am grateful for that: you saw the good, bad, and ugly Dawn. What was it like coming back to regular society after being out there?

Was there culture shock or an adjustment coming back? After season 23, I came home overwhelmed. Just being able to go anywhere I wanted seemed kind of paralyzing. I didn't want to make decisions; they overwhelmed me. It was hard to trust people. Life seemed kind of flat after the game: nothing was as exciting in my daily life. Those were all adjustments. Talking on the phone with other players helped ease that transition. After season 26, I had a literal breakdown.

I immediately felt shame and worry that I had embarrassed my family Some of our younger kids didn't know I even had the retainer. So season 26 was a HARD exit from the game. I was taken to the hospital in Manila Thanks to production and the amazing Dr.
