I admired Jane's grit and determination in the game. I thought she did a great job of preparing herself for the hardships she was going to endure.

I think at the end she had hung all her eggs in the "winning Survivor basket" and had forgotten that all the other people were there to win the money too. She made herself a target by doing too well...and she just doesn't understand that kind of thinking.

I'm sure she will go back and have a very happy life after this and I wish her well. She has some money, an adventure and she has her daughter and dogs to go back to...and that's a good thing.

I do hope she looks back on some of the things she says and realizes that probably it wasn't a great idea. But isn't part of the Survivor experience learning about yourself? One thing Jane definitely learned, if she didn't already know - she is definitely a Survivor!

Jane was strong, determined, gutsy... YES! But she also had such a mean streak to her... Actually it wasn't a streak, it was more her general personality. I was disgusted with her attitude at Ponderosa when she has hoping for rain so that the rest of the survivors would suffer. She said it with such a gleam in her eye that I find that woman to be heartless and unstable.

I also really doubt that Jane learned anything about herself.

Hmm, so Jane voted for Chase according to Fabio's exit interview and Naonka voted for Fabio. Also, Fabio said he was found in a grocery store and asked to appear on the show. I can imagine how many people they get to actually apply and they still feel they have to go out and find contestants. Amazing.

Dan said he was in a bar when he was approached and asked to be on the show.

LOL... Costa, you feel about Jane the same way I feel about Jordan from BB. I don't care how many people like Jordan - she is an absolute waste of space who is slow, lazy and dumb and can't tell time on an analogue watch, as far as I'm concerned.

"Fabio said he was found in a grocery store and asked to appear on the show."

"Dan said he was in a bar when he was approached and asked to be on the show."

Wow, now that just makes me appreciate what Jane went through to get on the show and train for it even more. And to think Dan just sat there the entire time. That is really disappointing to find out! If they help them get on, do they help them stay in the game? You gotta wonder.

The sympathy votes really annoy me. What if others had done that and Chase had won just because of that?

I wonder what would have happened if the final vote had gone to Sash. Does anyone know? Would Chase and Fabio each get $1 million?

Happymom, I asked that too upthread. No answer from anyone.

It was posted in the spoiler thread (from Alaginger, I think, who looked up the rules) that the tiebreaker was something that would be decided by the producers. Pretty vague, eh?

Here's the quote, and thank you to Alaginger for looking it up:

On page 8 of the 9 page document I was looking at, it said that in case of a tie, the tie would be broken by something determined by the producers of the show.

Just because people told Fabio they gave Chase a sympathy vote doesn't mean that's the real reason they voted for Chase. That could just mean they were pacifying Fabio.

Okay, watched the rest of the finale show today. Saw Shannon. Still don't remember him!

I never watch reunion shows, and now I am confirmed in my lack of interest in them!

Maybe they would have had them do a tie-breaking challenge right there at the reunion..

I'd have love to seen a fire starting competition between Fabio and Chase! I wonder if either could have done it?

If Jane trains Border Collies (looked like that was what she had when they showed video of her farm), she easily could make 50K a year - they are highly specialized and only a few people across the country train them. She might even just train them as agility competitors and make pretty good $$, too, regardless of what breed of dog it is.

I never got the impression that Jane was destitute. Obviously, everyone can use a million dollars.

From what I've read, she owns many acres. They aren't in a prime area therefore are not easy to sell, but she still has to pay a high tax rate on them. When you say earnings, you have to consider what the expenses are. I don't know of any private farms that are actually making money. Her salary in a small city would be fine, but in a larger city or in a high property tax area, could be poverty level.

Thanks Kar. Yeah, pretty vague. I wish they would be more specific.

Merry, good point about the sympathy votes. I hope they weren't sympathy votes. I'd be less annoyed. Sympathy votes are as annoying as first season(?) guy (Dr. Sean?) doing pick a number or whatever he did.

I agree with whomever said that we don't know whether those were sympathy votes for Chase or not...the truth will come out in time. Personally I think it could have remained unsaid...Fabio won, fair and square under the rules of this season.

I think Jane is like many of us - living on our income but just that. A million dollars would enrich anyone's life for sure.

Happymom, I think you're referring to Sean, the one who was voting people off alphabetically.

Friend, you are correct that Sean was the one who voted them off alphabetically. I think what Happymom is talking about is at the Final TC he asked Richard and Kelly to pick a number and that was how he based his vote on for the $1 million.

Wasn't it Greg who asked them to pick a number? Or maybe my memory is going. Again.

Maybe so Tish. I remember Sean voted alphabetically at TC. Now I'm not sure who asked them to pick a number for the Final TC.
