Brenda speech

[@cambed71]

The sad thing about the Brenda vote was that the immunity challenge was down to her and Dawn and she let Dawn win and then they voted her out, Dawn included. Just proves, you can't trust anyone and you should hang on in those endurance challenges for as long as you can and not step off and bargain for no one.

I loved Brenda and I'd be so proud of my daughter if she played the game exactly the same way Brenda did. That said, I disagree with you, being too lovable never gets you to the final three. Brenda would have to stop helping people to win and I think that would be a tragedy for her to stop being the beautiful person she always has been. She's got a wonderful, fulfilling and happy life ahead of her. Screw the million dollars, she's going to win every day for the rest of her life compared to those miserable jerks.

Nah Brenda's goal wasn't to make Dawn embarrassed or humiliate her. The point was that Dawn said the teeth basically didn't matter. What probably pissed Brenda off was that Dawn hesitated taking them out and kept trying to dodge out of doing it instead of just going *boom, here, told you it's not worth anything* That's why Brenda didn't vote for Dawn even though she did what she wanted.

[@iMaDeMoN2012]

It's funny how people praise Brenda for humiliating Dawn for abusing their friendship because the target is another woman. But scold, Shan as if she was their controlling b*tch ex-girlfriend, for asking a legitimate question, that is, if Deshawn used a social movement that Shan strongly believes in to manipulate her. The idea that Shan was definitely winning and she was using Deshawn and Danny get to the final four line is ridiculous. They all need each other as is evident by the end result.

[@sgdv3523]

I just want to defend Brenda real quick--- Dawn said to Brenda that if she doesn't find her retainer she will QUIT THE GAME. So Brenda spent the time looking for her retainer and kept her from quitting. She asks dawn, would you have quit the game? Dawn says no. So, Brenda wants her to PROVE to her that she wouldn't have quit by showing what she'd look like had Brenda not done the good deed that she had done for her, and take out her retainer. That's why she did it. Basically saying "If i wasn't there for you, this is what you'd look like".

[@BladeBlur]

+SGDV I agree, but it still was demoralizing.

[@in_vas_por8810]

+BladeBlurX Thats how desperate Dawn was for her vote tho. She thought she really had a chance to win so she went through with it, but she didn't have to.

[@gracec2654]

+SGDV I agree with what you said. Brenda was shocked that Dawn betrayed her after making such a big deal about needing the retainer. I think she wanted proof that Dawn was not just 'words.' But what Dawn ended up showing was that she was desperate for votes and would literally do/ say anything for the chance at 1 million.

[@in_vas_por8810]

***** Oh yeah i'm glad Brenda got her revenge because Dawn was really a scumbag and Brenda did save her from having a nervous breakdown and quitting the game. I knew all along that Cochran was gonna win because he was an unlikely finalist, and he played the game so smart. He took two people who he knew had no chance of wining cause of their lack of charisma and their lack of speaking skills.

[@RyseMaxwell]

Good point! Well explained. Thanks for defending brenda appropriately. Sadly, not all people have the level of understanding to accept it tho.

[@MiniJodaTV]

I feel Dawn would've earned Brenda's vote had she admitted she would've quit the game without her retainer, or at least admit to some degree she considered it. Brenda wanted Dawn to acknowledge what she did for Dawn that day and not brush it off as if it meant nothing, which is what Dawn implied during her answer. On top of that, Dawn proved she was lying by not taking out her retainer without hesitation, she only did it to appease Brenda.

[@a.jdeets5527]

[@88feji]

What I find distubring about Dawn is that she does not seem to feel bad at all for Brenda after betraying her ... Yes its true that Survivor is a game where you are not supposed to let your emotional sides affect your game BUT Brenda did not just save her game, she actually saved her SANITY as a human being ...she SHOULD at least feel sorry as she do OWE Brenda her sanity and thank Brenda for THAT in some concrete ways ... But she did not .... she's convinced herself she did not have to and thats morally wrong, its more than just a game when someone saved your sanity in a game ....

[@americansweetheart5597]

This was an incredible moment. The leverage Brenda pulled out here was absolutely brutal. You could just see Dawn's wheels turning because she knew she was screwed. This was truly epic.

[@trevor_5205]

Brenda wanted to make Dawn feel the same pain she felt, that was brilliant. Dawn needed to better manage the jury and if she had Brenda wouldn't be feeling the way she is. Going back eariler that day Brenda jumped of the immunity challenge because (AGAIN) Dawn gets all emotional because she wants to win immunity, instead of fighting for it she begged for Brenda to jump. That was her mistake. Too much emotional drama.

[@RyseMaxwell]

Moral of the story: Don't trust emotional people too much. I agree with what Varner said about Shirin on Survivor second chance -- "she's emotional and she knows how to talk to you like she’s your best friend." dawn is like shirin, only more emotional and that's how she got brenda's sympathy and loyalty, but dawn just manipulated that to her advantage. Personally, I realized that that's how most emotional people are; they act as if they're your trustworthy friend when in fact they are NOT!!

[@sana_hyo]

Trev McMillan k

[@RyseMaxwell]

‍ well I'm speaking from experience and the way I see overly emotional people is that they lack sense of logic and integrity when carried away by emotions and they tend to be easily driven by emotions most of the time.

[@AGJ117]

Dawn actually handled the jury pretty well, Cochran just handled it masterfully, so she didn't stand a chance.

[@88feji]

@@RyseMaxwell Dawn is the type of person in real life who inflicts the worst kind of hurt on the hands that feed her ... And I truely believe Dawn is like that too in real life. The biggest proof is when Brenda sacrificed her (and Dawn's) reward to give it to the rest of the players, we later see Dawn throwing a crying tantrum almost blaming Brenda without trying the slightest to understand why Brenda had to do that .... that is her real personality on show, not a game play thing ... Its hard when it comes to showing pity on pitiful looking people, should we refuse to help these people because they may stab us in the back when the reward is big enough ? When the stabbing really happens to you, should you forgive ? Its a really tough moral dilemma ...

[@bc5163]

On the one hand it's allegedly simply a matter of "Prove to me that you would not have quit" But on the other hand "I wanted you to feel what I felt. A little bit of heartbreak" I think Brenda had multiple motives with this.

[@ubergamer2010]

That was ballsy of Brenda. Basically "if you meant it, show us what you would look like right now had I never found them". Brenda really got her ass

[@dembonez19]

"I want you to take out your teeth, Dawn!" - Crappy season, but easily one of the most memorable moments in Survivor HISTORY! Go Brenda!! PS - I know I can't speak for what Dawn was feeling at that moment. She probably WAS feeling humiliated/embarrassed, but in this game, you have to prove your worth. This was Brenda's way of granting Dawn the opportunity to prove what she had JUST SAID she'd do in that she would've continued even without her retainer. I think it was completely justified.

[@charliez077]

dembonez19 it would have been kinda justified for me had she actually gave her her vote, then I'd be much cooler with it. but she made her humiliate herself and Dawn still got zero votes (and crazy amount of hate on social media..) not so cool.

[@jaysondavebillojan7590]

Dawn deserves it

[@TheKYLEdavid]

+Karel Zich The real reason that Brenda didn't give Dawn her vote was because of the attitude that Dawn had about it. If she had pulled the teeth out without giving Brenda lip (no pun intended), Brenda would've voted for her

[@charliez077]

TheKyleDavid that's ridiculous. if you humiliate someone in front of the whole nation just because you were blindsided in a game, you better then at least vote for them. again, I totally get brenda was hurt, mad, everything, but she took it way too far.

[@TheKYLEdavid]

Karel Zich Not because she was blindsided, there is nothing wrong with a blindside. It's because Dawn was trying to make light of what Brenda did for her. If Dawn hadn't tried to make light of what Brenda did, Brenda probably wouldn't have made her take her teeth out. What Dawn could've done, was just say "I wouldn't have stayed in the game without my teeth, and I would like to thank you for that Brenda. But I knew that I couldn't beat you in the end, so I had to vote you off when I had a chance."

[@ja1207]

I still remember that moment when Brenda helped Dawn on finding that teeth and made me love her more due to her not thinking about a competitor's exit as already an advantage. But when she got eliminated, by Dawn out of all people, it all ended for Dawn's game...

[@StephenWong14]

Yes. But in particular, I think it's quite unfair to force her to make a decision on whether to give up the reward on the spot, since she will lose either way. It just feels so brutal to watch her being voted off. This is a game where you're punished for too much honesty and good deeds. It's the main reason I'm now getting tired of this show and stop watching it.

Brenda was Lex-level pissed, and Dawn should have realized that there was no way she could get her vote.

I don't know. That plan seems way too risky for Dawn. Brenda was a serious challenge threat and could probably beat Cochran at the Fire puzzle. Also, I don't think Cochran would do that well at a fire making challenge, either. I think Dawn made the best play that she could and probably didn't expect the jury to be that harsh on her. There would be no point in dragging Brenda along just to gain jury votes that were going to Cochran anyway.

[@ak0..]

Josh Bensen Tbh, if Dawn would've turned against Cochran and voted out Eddie, she would've had a better chance than with Cochran and Sherri. Since nobody liked either Dawn or Sherri's gameplay because they did nothing tbh. Cochran ran the game. So they vote out Eddie, then Erik would eventually be med-evaced, then they vote out Cochran. Final 3 is Brenda, Dawn, Sherri. Sherri will get 0 votes because she sucks, Brenda wouldn't be bitter at Dawn and Dawn wouldn't have a reason to be hated! If she would've went to the final 3 with Brenda and Sherri and even if Brenda won, it still would've been better for her to keep a friend and still a better chance of winning.

[@joshbensen02]

Well I think we can both agree, Dawn wasn't going to win anyhow. BUT she still has a better chance of winning against someone who played similarly to her (Cochran) than against someone who played a different game than her (Brenda). This way, she can still argue her point that since Cochran and her played the same strategic game, her financial needs out way Cochran's. She couldn't make that point with Brenda because their game-plays were so different. And no, Sherri doesn't suck. She was running her entire fans tribe in the pre merge and she very smartly secured herself a spot in the Stealth R Us alliance come merge time... Unlike Michael, Eddie or Reynold. She's not a Great player, but she doesn't suck either.

[@ak0..]

Josh Bensen What I mean by she sucks is that she floated, and didn't really do any big move. She infiltrated Stealth R Us and controlled Fans-tribe pre-merge because they were idiots. I'm pretty sure anybody on the fans tribe could see Allie's alliance and make a 6-person rival alliance. But yeah, she secured herself a spot in Stealth R Us because she was an easy vote. Corinne told Dawn they were voting Sherri and Corinne wanted Dawn to flip. But Dawn quickly relayed the info back to Phillip. Phillip then told Sherri that Corinne was trying to vote her out, so they pulled Sherri in. Then Erik eventually flipped, putting Malcolm, Eddie, Reynold, Corinne, and Michael at the bottom. Which means 4 votes not for Sherri already.

[@joshbensen02]

"What I mean by she sucks is that she floated, and didn't do any big move." Floating is an extremely valid strategy. It was only until Big Brother 12 that people started shaming those types of players. Just because you don't make big moves, doesn't mean you're not playing a good Survivor game. Tina, Ethan, Vecepia, Fabio, Jenna, Sophie, and Bob all "floated" in their season because they never made a big move, but they all ended up in the end with the votes. Yes, big moves makes for better television, but are not essentially key to wining the game. Key example is Ciera from Blood vs Water. She voted out her mom, but by doing so, she showed everyone else in the game that she was there to play the game and would do anything to win. Before this, she was on nobody's radar but now, she's one of the biggest threats in the alliance. Later, Ciera drew rocks. by doing so she shows everyone that she can flip on a dime and that's why she went home before Tina at final 5.

[@trueblueedits4673]

Holy shit, Brenda was metal af. Hardcore.

[@didyoustealthecookies4274]

Also this speech was longer Brenda said Sherri I want you to pull off your weave

[@plumbobboy9883]

brenda's jury speech was genius, she is Strong, Beautiful and smart.

[@Quen-pt4ln]

simp, And also BRENDA IS AN AWFUL HUMAN BEING. This speech was fucking awful on so many levels.

[@in_vas_por8810]

Damn this brings back memories. This is a side of Brenda we rarely see. I see that people still don't get why Brenda did what she did, and if you don't, you probably don't belong in the game of survivor. It would be too rough mentally. The game doesn't end until the winner is declared. This was still part of the game, and Dawn lost.

[@Khaleslie]

So when you sit around a table playing games with your friends, do you emotionally bully them, embarrass them, and humiliate them to try to make them lose? And then justify it as being "part of the game"? That's sociopath behavior.

[@acf5980]

@@Khaleslie this is not monopoly it’s Survivor …plus it was a pretty heartless move from Dawn to vote her out after everything Brenda has done so she’s just giving that same energy back

[@Melanie-ww4yk]

Gotta say: that was a really well thought out payback on Brenda's part. She helped Dawn when she was desperate for it and about to drop out, and once blindsided by said friend, made her prove her words as a form of payback. Also, decent people won't see Dawn's teeth as a weakness, they'll see it as a point of strength and resilience. So, Brenda's payback really wasn't that bad in the end.

[@RyseMaxwell]

Moral of the story: Don't trust emotional people too much. I agree with what Varner said about Shirin on Survivor second chance -- "she's emotional and she knows how to talk to you like she’s your best friend." --That's a pretty accurate observation about emotional people; dawn is like shirin, only more emotional and that's how she got brenda's sympathy and loyalty, but dawn just manipulated that to her advantage. Personally, I realized that that's how most emotional people are; they act as if they're your trustworthy friend when in fact they are NOT!!

[@bernardogarciasouza7677]

Funniest moment ever in the history of this show

[@sadieteawalsh]

I hate how Cochran took all the credit for the moves he and Dawn made together. He wouldn’t have been able to make those moves with her, and would certainly not have made it to the end.

[@flying_oyster]

Brenda's dress is so pretty

[@afonsomonteiro2003]

I do agree Brenda was bitter in this scene, but Dawn could've just admitted the importance and relevance of Brenda retrieving her retainer for her, instead of minimizing it. By saying flat out "no" only to cower once again when faced with the idea of taking the retainer off made her come off as unappreciative and undeserving of Brenda's kindness. I know Brenda has stated she was not voting for Dawn in any circumstance, but I think had Dawn played it better, the chance wasn't 0?

[@jackkolero]

Agree. Brenda might’ve changed heart if Dawn answered this question right. Dawn failed to realize Brenda’s was an emotional speech. An answer appealing to emotions might’ve given her the vote.

[@gigbit8489]

I feel like Brenda could be another Parvati. Not as good as her but a manipulative boy attracting player.

[@adamw5788]

+Gig Bit Yeah, I think Brenda would be a good candidate for Heroes in Heroes vs Villains. She's a bit of a mix between Amanda and Parvati. Dawn would be a great villain.

[@gracec2654]

+Adam W Except Dawn just rides coat tails....

[@RyseMaxwell]

+Adam W no, dawn is simply just an emotional mess. she doesnt qualify to be called a villain.

[@RyseMaxwell]

I would have been like; “take out my teeth? Okay!” *reaches into mouth pulls out middle finger

[@alishabhullar1]

Brenda was loyal😭

[@jadewarrior5584]

I was so impressed with Brenda this season,(not just for her perfect looks,she was perfect on her previous season also)she showed much more maturity and compassion this season.I was awed to see her great inner beauty this season with her compassion for going out of her way to find Dawns teeth,then sacrifice her time with her Dad to allow those reprebates Cochrane and Sherri to spend time with their loved ones, all to get shafted by them and Dawn.Cochrane is a grub to arrange for her to be voted out the the bigger threat which was Eddie.

[@oliviapalma496]

HAHA Eddie is me

[@victorprogers]

Kat's response at Season 24s final tribal was far more mature than Brenda's reaction. This was humiliating revenge. Kat was equally crushed and elected to forgive and take back the power that others had over her. The contrast was stunning. Kat was selfish, immature, annoying and unlikeable for me. Brenda was the opposite. Humble, tender, a joy to watch as she interacted with others. Then the boom came for both. And a choice was to be made by each. Brenda chose revenge while Kat chose forgiveness and restoration. It is a lesson for us all. Stop giving others power over you and allowing your emotions to control you. Forgive. Love. Restore. Renew. Be better than what the world says. Hope is found in newness, not in bitterness.

[@acf5980]

Happy and admire Kat for that but don’t blame or look down at Brenda at all for this move Dawn was B to her and now she’s just a B back all in the context of the “game” right? Cuts both ways

[@Wolfeyesi]

Wow I know Brenda was so great and beyond amazing on the show winning immunity all those time and Dawn voted her out and I get were Brenda is coming from but this video shows me and opened up my eyes that it is true that two wrong don’t make a right I saw the way Brenda looked right after Dawn showed her teeth which was regret but she wanted to show them why she stayed with dawn because she saw her without teeth and Dawn was not going to continue with the game and Good hearted Brenda stuck with Dawn I love Brenda she deserves to come back and win ❤️

[@fiestadancers]

Wish Brenda never gave up immunity challenge for Dawn.

[@mikeifrun6231]

think about it though, anyone who would sacrifice their own family reward for others would go home asap. no one would stand a chance to sit next to brenda so they did what they had to do. it was a death sentence as soon as brenda won that challenge

[@ryandsz]

Jury were very very very bitter this year.

[@TheRafaelBond]

she's beautiful

[@kennedyw9743]

I love brenda, But im glad Cochran won. I think he deserves it.

[@alishabhullar]

Brenda was my favourite

[@sethgladstone3581]

I'm proud of Brenda for humiliating Dawn because Dawn was absolutely a crook and a disgusting liar and she never deserved to win imo. I'd absolutely love to see Brenda play for a third time.

[@MrAitraining]

Damm she was a cute hottie and I'm sure she still is

[@nickgrebenc5992]

Very curious, what was your initial reaction to this scene?

[@zeroaiko]

[@kingunda5013]

The betrayal Dawn did to Brenda was cruel, that this was SO SATISFYING. That ugliness will now be a MEME.😂😂😂

[@b.k.9797]

It wasn’t cruel. Brenda caused her own elimination because she got cocky. You only think it’s cruel because Brenda cried after her game failed.

[@QueenGamer89]

I'm sorry but when she took them teeth out and showed it i damn near died so did Eddie

[@1992ilikepie]

I saw this on cringey survivor moments, but I was really confused. But I kinda understand it

[@ignaciojoelnexlsoncanas29]

I will never understand why they changed the final 2 to a final 3. It is not justify, whatsoever.

[@SurvivorQT]

[@none4516]

This is still iconic to this day!

[@charlessagustin]

You asked a woman to remove her teeth in front of the jury--you got what you wanted but you still did not vote for her.
