Had they done that, especially considering that two people were voted out, they could have practically guaranteed themselves a 1 in 5 shot. I wonder what happened to change their minds? Surely it wasn't Coach's cocky 'Instant death upon anyone who goes against my wishes' tirade.

Going into TC I was pretty sure that Cochran's foreshadowing of a double vote for Dawn and Whitney was a stronger possibility than voting Edna out. I think Cochran did it to himself, too, with the prediction. Knowing it was likly that they would vote twice in a row with no time for discussion kind of killed the plan to vote out Edna. That would have left too many variables including who to take out in the second vote and a contingency plan if that person won immunity.
What I still don't get...taking out someone like Coach or Ozzy's "second", especially at this stage of the game...why Edna? Yeah, she's probably voting for Coach...unless you take out Coach now and it's not an option. Yeah, he'd probably be pissed and not vote for whoever was a part of that plan, but unless you plan on taking him to the end, he's got to vote for someone, and he's probably going to vote for whoever comes back from RI, since they most likely won't have had a hand in voting him out. So, whether they vote him out now or later, they are probably not losing a jury vote.
