Not even because I found her breakdowns funny or something; I loved her unironically and sympathized with her a majority of the time. Her paranoia was sometimes grating to watch but I can't blame her for the game affecting her as much as it did. Her story arc is actually kind of tragic to me. She never could have won because she's someone who gets affected so much by the stress of the game, but she tried her best. She learned to play a cutthroat, individual, selfish game despite being a selfless person in real life, and I wish that she had been rewarded for it with a win. I could go on and on about her story arc because if I were to include this cast among others, she'd honestly be in my top 15 all time and I can say without exaggeration that had she won, she would have been in my top three and become my favorite female character of all time. I loved her that much. I find her situation fascinating, I find her gameplay compelling, her FTC performance was much stronger than I expected it to ever be, I really, really wish she has won, and with the deleted Facebook/Twitter, I hope she's doing better and had a great Mother's Day. Dawn is a legitimately nice person whose personality made playing the game incredibly hard from her, and I would take a real human being with emotions like Dawn over a shameless gamebot or an OTT caricature 99 time out of 100. Her story arc is fantastic and the only reason I would include Caramoan in my "every character ever" ranking would be to give her the top 15 spot that is warranted by the tragic story arc of the dichotomy between Dawn's gameplay and Dawn's personality. And I am fully aware of the fact that I am pretty much the only person who feels this way, but I don't care, because I think Dawn this season was a legend and almost made the whole season worth it. Parv/Kim/...Dawn... ?

Some of his confessionals toward the end were really annoying, but I actually think multiple-season story arcs are the best part about All Star seasons, and his was great compared to last season. I used to love Brenda, now I don't. Oh well. I just can't really empathize with Dawn. She seems incredibly nice, but I found her crying tiring, especially because the "crying mother" character has become so cliched.

Parv/Kim/...Dawn... ? Um, lol? Since when was Kim a top 3 female character? People could at least make arguments for Parvati but even that's a stretch.

Parv/Kim/...Dawn... ? I meant that Dawn, had she managed to win after all that, would have cracked my all-time top three characters, including non-winners and males. That's how much I loved her arc this season.
