I thought it was a clue to the location of the Hidden Immunity Idol. But there were already 2 idols out there... why would they give a clue to a 3rd? or did they not know that NaOnka had given hers to Chase? ... To answer my own question... I guess they were just 'playing along' so that others would not know that NaOnka gave hers to Chase.

The producers know the two have been claimed, but if there were some contestants who didn't know, there not being clues given with prizes would give away the fact that the idol is no longer available. At least that's my guess.

What I love is that Jud took the cheesy Fabio label and made it work for him. I second GAL: Fabio FTW!

Haven't posted lately.In between My Mom recovering from 2 surgeries in a week, work, caring for my grandaughter and a new grandaughter coming next week, I rarely have a chance to get online. I am blessed and overworked. I know many here can relate. I know many here dislike Jane for various reasons. I actually like her and admire her. She is a great competitor, strong and hardworking. All things that I admire in someone her age. She worked circles around most of the young ones there. She had a can do attitude and a willingness to get things done. I don't blame her for throwing a tantrum. I remember quite a few that have played this game and have done the same, one example, Sandra throwing out Rupert's fish. In comparison to Marty's egotistical superiority rants, Sash's snarky illusions of grandeur, and Nakona's, well, Nak's lack of tact, empathy and social grooming, Jane's fit throwing seems very insignificant. That is my opinion only I wish everyone here a blessed holiday season. God bless all here.

From what I have read here since the beginning of the show, Jane did not have a chance at fan favorite. She marched to her own drummer the whole time she was there which is rarely a good thing in the eyes of many. However, I have found it really fun that at the F6, half of them are "old" people! I just wish Jimmy J. were one of them - but I think Ginger and I are the only two voting for him for fan fav!

Has the winner ever won Fan Favorite also? I can't remember that ever happening. I can really see Fabio winning both. Fabio has been this fan's favorite since day 1.

Fabio for Fan Favorite! I'd love it if Jimmy J won it too, but he's been gone far too long.

I haven't been here in a while. I guess I don't understand what people are talking about when they mention the fish that Jane stole from the group. She was the one going out and catching fish while others laid around, so while out she ate one of the fish she caught. How is that stealing from the group? Was there footage of her doing something else? I haven't been able to root for anyone this season, but if I had to pick someone I did like Jane because she wasn't afraid of hard work and she could compete with the strongest of them. It doesn't mean I loved everything about her, but, i admired her for her strength. The rest of them just don't/didn't do anything for me. In fact, at this point I would think it would be hilarious if Dan DID win in the end, just because they kept keeping him instead of voting him out. Ok, back to my corner. LOL

Misty - There seem to be posters who feel that Jane eating one of the fish she caught instead of sharing it with the folks back at camp was somehow stealing. The other instance was when she did cook and eat an egg from the chicken with which she - and seemingly only she - had been sharing her rice ration. I have never understood the antipathy toward Jane, but it is there and possibly colors how people see her actions.

Tntitanfan, I think you are right about peoples dislike for Jane. It seems that if you dislike a player,everything they do is dissected multiplied and magnified to be worse than it actually is. I am not sure where the intense dislike towards Jane comes from. I don't find her any more bitter than anyone else there. Marty mocked Jane's accent on many occasions, which being a southerner myself, really offended me. To me, mocking someone would be a good example of a bitter person. In the back of my mind I am thinking that maybe the accent is off- putting to some. Ah well, I clearly remember having the same reaction to Boston Rob. That man drove me nuts. Everything he did made me cringe. I do see him in a more favorable light now because I think he is a great Dad and really loves his wife. Enough of my rants! Thanks for listening.

Oliviamimi - Another southerner here - as perhaps you might have guessed from my nick! I LOVE Boston Rob, but I can certainly understand why others might not. I DO NOT like Russell, but can see why others might like him. All of our life experience plays into how we view other people, so that means we each bring a unique viewpoint to the table. One of the things I like best about TVCH is that - for the most part - (thanks, Moderators!) - divergent viewpoints are respected. I cannot understand why people have trouble with accents from other parts of the country or even from other countries! If you truly listen with your heart, you are going to get the gist of what they are saying -

Just as an FYI... I never liked Jane. And each act of disingenuity (stealing the fish, stealing the egg) didn't help any. I had zero respect for her before she threw her temper tantrum and threw two buckets of water on the fire. Except for Holly (with Dan's shoes), I think there is a world of difference between using your words (for example, Marty being snarky) and being physical (stealing food, putting out a fire). And in case you're asking, Naonka was just as bad for the little tricks and tantrums she pulled. She never had a chance to win, so it was good riddance when she quit. So my two favorite shows this season? Naonka quitting and Jane getting a unanimous vote to leave.

She was the one going out and catching fish while others laid around, As Survivors have been interviewed they have said that Jane was not the only one going out and catching fish. But the others brought back and shared with the group (as well as with Jane). And if you remember that scene that they showed, Jane had no way to cook her fish as she couldn't get a fire going... she had to go back and take an ember from the fire that the others had been tending to, stoking and gathering wood for. So apparently Jane thought it was okay to share the food they caught, the fire they stoked, and the water they gathered... but she and she alone would eat the fish she caught.

I remember Russell going out and eating by himself all the time, and not bringing any back for the group; but I don't remember much discussion about that. There have also been at least one or two other players we have seen do that, but I can't recall their names right now. There was one scene this season after the first mini-merge where the younger members of La Flor were laying down while the older members were working, and one of the younger ones commented in a confessional that it was great to have the older people doing the work. In watching the show this season, they have all talked about Jane catching fish, and we have seen Jane catching fish. Has anyone heard or seen anything on the show about anyone else catching fish?

Costa I am in agreement with you on Naonka, she was just awful. No disrespect to anyone here that actually liked her in this game. < haven't seen any who do> I still like Jane as is my right to do so. I certainly am not trying to convince anyone else to like her and won't be swayed by the opinions of others who don't. We like who we like! I just wanted to voice my opinion. TnTitanfan, I am a Tennessean! I live in the beautiful state of NC now.

Jane saying in the realitytvworld interview "I felt that Chase was a true North Carolina man, boy. You know what I'm saying. He was from the South and is as good as his word." I don't see how being from North Carolina or the South makes Chase a better man.

When Jane ate one fish that she caught, I thought it was a smart move. They are in an individual game after the merge, not a team game. It is a smart survival tactic to eat when food is available. Nobody stopped anyone else from catching and eating their own fish. Now, taking and hiding flour that was given to the whole group (and forgetting where you hid it, LOL) is a senseless move in my opinion.

I like Jane as well. Do not see she stole anything. Thought her dousing the fire was a riot. Chase is wishy washy. Don't trust Holly, Sash, or Jud. Dan is so quiet I keep forgetting about him.

I like her in the beginning, but I ended up not liking her. Like many in the game, the closer/further she got, the more she gloated over having it in the bag; and eventually acting like she deserved it. I understand her being angry with her alliance. But she was unkind to others, and that bugged me.

I agree with Mak1. I think it was smart because the others did not know about the fish. If she had caught it and let the others know and refused to share it, that would have been a bad move socially. But she kept it a secret, fed herself for strength, and I think that was good gameplay. I liked her ability and strength to endure in the comps. Good for her. I forgive her (not that she needs MY forgiveness) for her temper tantrum, I don't hold it against her. I do hope she doesn't hold a grudge though. They are in their own little world while playing Survivor, every little thing is monumental and dramatic and can be used against you. And it's for $1 million. It's a stressful situation in a lot of ways. I do think the temper tantrum was bad game play though. It would have been better to keep her cool, not get emotional, and try to get an alliance together to stay in the game.

I must be watching a different Jane cuz I dont see her in the same light as some of you do. I like her and give her major kudos for doing so well out there.
