Dawn Meehan was selected to be Favorite on Survivor: Caramoan. In the first challenge, she was paired with Erik Reichenbach but lost their round due to a large Shamar Thomas. The rest of Bikal won the challenge and flint with 20 pounds of Beans. At camp, two factions emerged, one led by Francesca Hogi and the other led by Phillip Sheppard. Bikal lost the first immunity challenge. She and fellow South Pacific alumni and ally, John Cochran find themselves as swing votes. The pair sided with Phillip and his Stealth R Us 2.0 alliance to vote out Francesca. Bikal started a winning streak, winning the five challenges. Dawn enjoyed the luxuries of the consistent victories (Fishing Gear, Comfort items, tarp, rope and a visit from a local tribesman who will teach them who to improve their camp. Problems emerged with Brandon Hantz started getting annoyed with Phillip's ego and hand violent outbursts. Dawn tried to calm him down but it was no use. At the immunity challenge, Bikal was so worried about Brandon hurting them that they asked to go to tribal council. After Jeff doing theapy, an Impromptu tribal council was held and Brandon was unanimously voted out  by verbal vote.

On Day 14, A tribal switch occured. Dawn stayed on Bikal with Cochran, Phillip and Corinne Kaplan and introduced to Michael Snow, Matt Bischoff, and Julia Landauer. Because the new Gota had all of the Athlethic people, the new Bikal lost all of the challenges. Dawn agreed with sending Matt home first for his friendship with Michael at Cochran's suggestion. Then she followed Corinne's Idea of Voting out Julia.

On Day 20, The new Gota arrived at the Bikal beach, announcing that the tribes had merged. After the immunity challenge that Cochran won, Corinne told Dawn about the plot to eventually blindside Phillip. Not wanting her second season to be a repeat of her first, Dawn decided to relayed the information to Cochran, who relayed it to Phillip. Dawn stayed Loyal to the Favorites and voted out Corinne for her treachery. Michael was the next to go on Andrea Boehlke's suggestion. While washing her retainer in the Lagoon, her retainer fell into the water. Dawn threaten to pull herself from the game unless she found her retainer. Hearing the commotion, Brenda Lowe decided to help out and found her teeth. Dawn was grateful for Brenda's Act of Kindness. At the next reward challenge, Dawn's team, which consisted of herself, Cochran, Phillip, Erik, and Reynold Toepfer won a reward to a local resort. Dawn washed herself off and enjoyed the last feast of food.  Reynold won the next immunity challenge. At tribal council, The alliance planned to split the vote between Malcolm Freberg and Eddie Fox. However, Malcolm shocked everyone when he pulled two idols and used it to void the votes on him and Eddie, sending Phillip to the jury.

A Survivor Auction was held on Day 29. Dawn sent her $500 on a roasted chicken. She regretted when letters from home was offered. The former alliance, sticked together and spilt the vote between Malcolm and Reynold, and eliminating Malcolm because he brought a clue to the Idol. The women voted out Reynold next. When the last remaining amigo Eddie, failed to win immunity, he appeared to be doomed. Andrea, however, had been campaigning for Brenda's elimination for being a jury threat. Dawn and Cochran decided to stick with the original target, Eddie. Andrea was blindsided when Sherri Biethman chose to vote her out over Eddie or Brenda.

Brenda won the Loved Ones Challenge and chose Dawn to share time her hubsand, David. However, Brenda gave up her and Dawn right to spend with their families to the other four castaways. Dawn was very upset with Brenda's decision. At the immunity challenge, it came down to Dawn and Brenda. Dawn outlasted Brenda to win immunity. After the challenge, Cochran wanted Brenda gone for biggest threat to win the game. Dawn was hesitant to commit because of all the kindness Brenda had done for her. In the end, Dawn voted against Brenda, leaving the latter devastated. While walking back to camp, Erik Collapsed. The Medics declared Erik unfit to continued and had him pulled out the camp, leaving Dawn shocked and saddened. In the final immunity, Dawn was able to catch up with Cochran despite his advantage he won in the reward challenge. In the end, Cochran won the final immunity. Sherri feared Dawn in a final because she thought that she played the sympathy card. Cochran wondered to would be easier to beat, Dawn or Eddie. When the vote came, outsider Eddie was voted out.

At Final Tribal council, Dawn managed to stay calm and composed. She pleaded her case to the as she played Cold Blooded this time around. The Jury generally criticized her for her emotional instability and betrayals, and insincerity . Brenda demanded Dawn to show the jury her Teeth, which after an argument  she complied. Dawn earned no jury votes and was shut out by Cochran, who won unanimously.
