Talking with T-Bird: Dawn Meehan

For everyone who wanted more T-Bird in the Survivor off-season, your wish has been granted as we once again start up the series “Talking with T-Bird.” Each episode, Rob Cesternino (@robcesternino) and Survivor: Africa‘s Teresa “T-Bird” Cooper (@tbirdcooper) will catch up with a former Survivor player and talk about anything and take listener questions. In the thirty-ninth episode of “Talking with T-Bird”, Rob and T-Bird’s guest is none other than Dawn Meehan.

Rob and T-Bird speak with Dawn Meehan, a castaway from Survivor: South Pacific and Survivor: Caramoan. On Survivor: South Pacific, the twenty-third season, Dawn started out on the red Savaii tribe, where she was a popular motherly figure among her tribe, but after refusing to join John Cochran in flipping on the Savaii Alliance, she was easily picked off by the Upolu Alliance, which ultimately led to her vote-out on day 28, leaving her in tenth place.

Then, a year and a half later, she was invited to compete on the twenty-sixth season, Survivor: Caramoan – Fans vs. Favorites, as a member of the Favorites tribe. This time, she played a much more aggressive and fluid game, moving between alliances and betraying many along the way. In combination with these betrayals were more emotional moments that led her to be vulnerable among her allies, strengthening bonds but making betrayals hurt more. These betrayals helped her get to the end with her tightest alliance mate John Cochran, but ultimately led to her losing to him in a 9-0-0 vote to Cochran, alongside Sherri Biethman.
