Trivia

 * Jeff Probst stated that Dawn was almost placed in Survivor: Nicaragua but was replaced by Holly Hoffman. Coincidentally, Dawn shares similarities with Holly in that both are mothers from small towns and both have had a breakdown in the first few days only to be cheered up by the oldest member of the team (Jimmy Johnson for Holly; Papa Bear for Dawn).
