Dawson was a castaway from Survivor: Philippines and was on the Kalabaw tribe. Right away, she recognized Jeff Kent as a former professional baseball player, but kept that information to herself. Dawson remained safe due to Kalabaw winning the first four immunity challenges. Noticing the men of Kalabaw becoming close (despite Jeff initially wanting to oust Penner), Dawson, Katie, and Dana formed an all-female alliance. On Day 11, Matsing was absorbed by the other two tribes, with Kalabaw receiving Denise on their tribe. Dawson鈥檚 luck ran out when one of her closest allies, Dana, quit the game due to her extreme pain from being sick. With only 2 tribes left in the game, and Dana quitting disrupting Kalabaw鈥檚 momentum, Kalabaw lost their very first immunity challenge, with Dawson and Katie receiving most of the blame. While in their shelter, Dawson decided to fuck with Jeff Kent by mentioning baseball, causing Jeff wanting to target her, perceiving her as a threat to his game. She was unanimously voted out and she memorably kissed Jeff on her way out. At the Reunion Show, she once again kissed Jeff. She is only the second castaway (or third if you count Julie Berry off-show) to kiss Jeff Probst and she is the first female castaway to be called by her last name.
