John Cochran

Known for

Cochran opened South Pacific by asking Jeff Probst to call him by his surname, the way Jeff addresses favorites, and then spent weeks as Savaii's awkward outsider. At the merge his tribe wanted him as a double agent; feeling bullied, he flipped to Coach Wade's Upolu instead, breaking a 6-6 tie against his old tribe on the revote. Upolu cut him once Savaii was gone, and he pushed Ozzy Lusth harder than expected in their Redemption Island duel before losing.

Caramoan was a different animal. Back with Dawn Meehan and promising not to burn her again, he let Phillip Sheppard play figurehead of Stealth R Us while he quietly called the shots. He won immunity at a gross-food challenge, bought an auction advantage that won him another, and read likability as a liability. With Dawn, he organized the late blindsides of Andrea Boehlke and Brenda Lowe, then took every jury vote to win.
