Well the show started out with tree mail and with a phone video messages from family. Next followed the challenge and it was family that were on the island and they were the prize. Ended up with Brenda winning the challenge and she was allowed to pick one person to also enjoy their family member. Brenda picked dawn. This now followed with another twist as Jeff then gives Brenda the decision to make. It is her and Dawn with their family for the day or, she can give up her and Dawns family and let the other four members of the tribe have their family for the day. She decided to give hers up and let the other four have their family. After a fun day the group thanks her and decides she has to much love from all the members which will end up on the jury. Next there was the immunity challenge. Dawn wins and is safe. After a bit of chat it is time to vote someone out and make them the next member of the jury. Ends up with Brenda as the one sent packing. A blindside for her as she thought she was safe because of the generosity of letting them have their family and not her. Again, the tribe saw her with to much good mojo for being nice. This blindside had Brenda in tears and as she left she told them that they really hurt her deep down. In this game you have to be nice, but not to nice. You have to be mean but not to mean.

Tonight is the season finally so we will see how it all plays out and who wins the million bucks for 39 days of starvation and work. Best of luck to them all.
