User:Stryzzar/Dawn and Scott

This article focuses on the interactions between Dawn and Scott.

Overview
Unaware of his antagonistic side at the start Dawn attempts to befriend Scott, as she does with everyone. Although initially Scott is indifferent about Dawn, other than viewing her as one of the obstacles he was going to dispose of, he develops a particular dislike towards her when he is creeped out by her knowledge of him in Ice Ice Baby. Simultaneously Scott accidentally gets on Dawn's good side when she believes him to be a "beetle whisperer". However later on she discovers Scott's true nature, and the conflict becomes mutual. She vows to expose him for the traitor he is, but this ultimately seals her fate when Scott finds out about her plans and orchestrates her elimination.

Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!
Dawn and Scott are placed on the same team.

Truth or Laser Shark
At the end of the episode Scott attempts to convince the Rats to eliminate Dakota, under the guise that she only cared about her fame and was letting the team down. Dawn agrees with his choice of elimination, but for different reasons, as she has foreseen that if Dakota was to stay on in the competition something terrible would befall her.

Ice Ice Baby
After winning the first part of the challenge, Scott tells his team to pick the run-down shack, claiming the palace could be a trick. However the shack is just as shabby on the inside as it is on the outside, which leads Dawn and the rest of the Rats to glare at him. During the challenge Dawn tries to convince Scott not to select a snowball, as she claims it's "full of negative energy", however he doesn't listen and it explodes in his face. She then puts her hand on his arm and tells him his frustration was the result of him not being held enough as a child, which he is greatly disturbs by. In the confessional he is shown huddled in fear and states that Dawn has to go as well. He then loses his patience and tells Dawn to pick a snowball, which turns out to be a wise choice as it shatters one of the pillars on the Maggots' fort. They are then attacked by a Giant Beetle which Dawn helped earlier, however Scott reminds the beetle mother that Dawn organized their family reunion, and persuades it to instead attack the fort. This impresses Dawn and leads her to believe Scott is a "beetle whisperer".

At the end of the episode, after Scott sabotages B's plan to melt the Maggots' fort, and frames him for it, he tries to persuade his team to vote B off. While Dawn was initially reluctant, she also becomes persuaded when Scott tells her that B hates nature. That night Dawn, along with the rest of the Rats all vote for B.

Finders Creepers
At the start of the challenge after Dawn reads out the clue, which states they had to follow Polaris the North Star. Scott points out where the star is, as well as the direction they had to take. When Dawn gets taken by the spider, Sam becomes concerned about her, but Scott doesn't seem to care and says that they "lost the weirdo".

Brain vs. Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown
When Chris reveals that Scott had been severely injured by Fang and now had to be placed inside the Trauma Chair, which contained a red and green light to help him communicate "yes" or "no". When Scott flashes the red light and Cameron asks whether it was "yes" or "no", Chris stated he didn't know, and that no one really cared because it was Scott. Dawn then proceeds to laugh at Scott along with everyone else.
