A Fan's Biggest Dream

Yet another winner of Survivor was chosen and I can honestly say that this season proved to be the most dramatic yet. It appeared to me that there were more physically injuries and mental breakdowns this season than past years. And to top it off, the winner could be the biggest underdog the competition has seen. John Cochran, or Cochran, was a huge fan of the show. If a person wrote his thesis paper on the jury system, you can guarantee that this person is a fan. Cochran proved this by the analysis he showed during the show, which ended up benefiting him in the end. Out of the final three competitors he made the most convincing case of why he should be the winner of Survivor. Dawn Meehan, throughout the competition proved herself to be out of control when it came to her emotions. I think Sherri Biethman destroyed her chances of winning during her speech at final tribal council. She shouldn't have told the jury she was in control of multiple businesses, because her wealth possibly dissuaded the jury from handing her the million dollars. It didn't help that she responded so rudely to Erik Reichenbach. I feel that this was a defensive move on her part, since she may have realized she would not receive any votes in her favor. During the live reunion it was quite odd that only members of the jury were placed on stage and questioned by Jeff Probst. All of the competitors should have at least been able to sit on stage, even if Jeff did not have time to speak to them.
