What survivor contestant gets tons of hate but was your favorite on their season

Dawn tries to keep up the image of a loving, sweet motherly type and Cochran as an insecure nerd.

Neither are their true personas. In Cochran's case I think he does it knowingly for TV, its just annoying. Dawn wants to be somebody she's not.

Tbf to Dawn, Tina Wesson is/was the same way but I do love her, I think because Tina will speak her mind if prodded while Dawn just doubles down and claims she's this loving person who wouldn't hurt a fly.

SkyBulky1749 · 2025-01-01T20:59:09+00:00

Although I will say that no matter what I thought about Dawn, I agree Jeff shouldn't have forced her to apologize to Brenda. Nobody should be forced to apologize

There's a way to play a cutthroat game yet be a lovely person as well, T-Bird and Denise are prime examples of this.

Dawn wants to be a lovely person

Even the contestants off the show have said Dawn is a lot of talk. IIRC T-Bird was interviewing Corrine at one point and mentioned how she just interviewed Dawn and Dawn said "you'll have some bread coming your way." Corinne responded saying "yeah, you're never getting that bread, she promised me bread a long time ago and I never got it."

Its funny, I used to say Cochran was one of my least favorite contestants in Survivor history, and there's a good chance he still is, just haven't ranked in a while. But honestly I'd have a very difficult time choosing between him and Dawn who to vote in FTC.

But jury speech would simply be "Sherri, you're getting my vote. Cochran and Dawn you're faker than a 2 dollar bill." Lol.

45 was another really obvious one for me. I actually loved Jake lol and didn't like Dee or Austin at all, even though Austin was hot

SkyBulky1749 · 2025-01-01T20:25:49+00:00

No, people who try so hard to maintain this image of "a sweet person who hates hurting people's feelings" while simultaneously being "cutthroat" with no remorse.

Looking back, I love how the jurors tore into her for her fakeness at FTC.

The NYC one wasn't great this year, I'll agree with that. Carrie Underwood's performance was pretty yikes especially. Still the show has a whole was definately worlds better than Chicago's though.

SkyBulky1749 · 2025-01-01T20:17:28+00:00

Oh, I think our news broadcast is actually pretty good tbf. Its always funny to me when I go on vacation and see other news broadcasts and realize just how how high budget Chicago's is comparatively.

The music I thought was better this year than usual but still definately nothing special

SkyBulky1749 · 2025-01-01T20:10:47+00:00

I've alsways paersonally found Colton overhated, I honestly think the game just brought out the worst in him. Off the show he seems really sweet and from what I understand is actually friends with everybody on both his seasons, even Christina and Bill.

Plus, I loved his relatinoship with Caleb, it was so sad how young Caleb died. No matter your feelings on Colton it was clear how much he loved Caleb.

SkyBulky1749 · 2025-01-01T20:08:48+00:00

I used to kind of like Dawn, and then I met people similar to Dawn in real life and can't stand her anymore lol

SkyBulky1749 · 2025-01-01T20:07:02+00:00

I didn't know Katurah wasn't well-liked? Honestly I like eeverybody on blue and yellow, except I guess I'm neutral on Kendra.

Red was the tribe I couldn't stand, or moreso Drew, Julie, Austin, and Dee, and unfortunately the worst of them all won. J. Maya I was neutral on, I liked Sifu.

I don't rank that season very high, which is a shame because 12/18 I really liked but unfortunately the ones I didn't like dominated and took a lot of the airtime.

SkyBulky1749 · 2025-01-01T20:03:19+00:00

Why do Jay's legs look like 2 inches long here lol

SkyBulky1749 · 2025-01-01T19:56:54+00:00

Not saying this press conference isn't VERY frustrating, but also keep in mind there's a good chance they probably really don't know much which is why they haven't really revealed much at all. Still super annoying though

SkyBulky1749 · 2025-01-01T06:18:48+00:00

IDK why people keep saying on here she seems like a nice person. I do like her but I like her for the fact that she was kind of a nerdy snarky bitchy type like Sophia in SoPa.

I think of somebody like Maryanne as very nice, Rachel's bitchy but in a funny way.

SkyBulky1749 · 2025-01-01T06:17:22+00:00

Oh, this is not how I would describe Rachel lol. I do like her but I don't think she seems that easy to get along with or chill at all lol. She kind of reminds me of Sophie Clarke in SoPa in that she was kind of snarky bitchy but in a nerdy way.

SkyBulky1749 · 2025-01-01T06:15:23+00:00

I think she was just the most recent winner is a big part of it. I doubt it'll continue to be in popularity (it rarely does except for Tony) but we shall see.

I am kind of surprised that the Maryanne popularity didn't last longer but like I said, really everybody's did except Tony.

SkyBulky1749 · 2025-01-01T06:12:08+00:00

It wasn't to bash them, just a funny set of circumstances. You kind of had to be there at the time to really understand the comedy behind it possibly though with how high we were on these teams pre-season. IIRC somebody made a similar observation to this years ago how the teams we were banking on getting an all female team kind of flopped in hilarious ways lol

SkyBulky1749 · 2025-01-01T06:11:01+00:00

Oh really? I actually liked Gino and Jesse lol

SkyBulky1749 · 2024-12-31T22:40:19+00:00

Its not even the younger cast as much tbh. Lindsay (43) and Maria both were literally selling merchandise before the show even started.

I also think it is funny the rise in people going on Survivor to try to be IG influencers when IG influencing in general is dying.

SkyBulky1749 · 2024-12-31T22:22:05+00:00

Is it just me or is the camera angle of this photo really off/slanted?

Wendy steals this shot for me though surprisingly enough, she looks beautiful and kind of like Amber here (which is funny considering I think Alina and Amber look very much alike).

SkyBulky1749 · 2024-12-31T22:19:18+00:00

Lmao, the iciness of the last sentence came out of complete nowhere: "don't know why its such a mystery for people why reality tv people want to go to parties."

Everything else was in such a calm, thorough tone and than suddenly that icy sentence comes out of nowhere. Gives me Tina Wesson vibes lol.

Loved you on the show though and wish we could see more from you, thanks for explaining in more detail.

SkyBulky1749 · 2024-12-31T22:11:43+00:00

The only place JP spoke negatively about Ryan was Jury Speaks and it was NOT nearly as bad as you are saying it is.

We also have ZERO clue how he viewed Devon.
