Every other Fan was gone, and Sherri Biethman was still sitting there. Caramoan's Gota tribe ate itself alive — Reynold and Eddie's 'cool kids' clique feuding with everyone, the outsiders striking back, vote after vote burned on each other's heads. The fast-food franchise owner watched her whole side tear itself apart and did the only smart thing left: she walked over to the Favorites, made herself the easy vote to keep around, and let the returnees do the killing.
It got her all the way to the final three, the last Fan standing on a Favorites' season. The problem was the man next to her. John Cochran ran Enil Edam from the merge on, and at Final Tribal the jury handed him the title 8-0-0 — Dawn Meehan and Sherri both shut out cold. Sitting next to a winner that clean, finishing third was the ceiling, and zero votes was always the bill. Still: outlasting your entire tribe by reading exactly when to jump ship is a real game, even when nobody on the jury is voting for it.
