Janu on her boat, arrives at her own island.

She says, first things first she has to make fire. She doesn't think she'll be scared if she can make fire. She'd be more scared to be in the dark. She is working hard on the fire - she says it is very hard and frustrating but she doesn't want to give up. She keeps seeing the fire come up but then it goes away and she just can't get it.

It gets dark and she's still working on it. She says it's a challenge but she needed time alone from them. She feels very much alone and it is her against them. She finally gets the fire going and now she's adding more wood to it and soon has a pretty good fire going. She says now she is the happiest she has been in this 26 days. Now she's twirling on the beach saying, "It's all mine." She points to the moon, the stars, the water, and her fire.... it's all hers.

Gregg and Tom talking now about who should go. Tom says the girls want Janu gone. Gregg says he thinks that they're thinking emotionally (the girls) and he thinks Steph should go now not Janu. Tom tells the camera that he, Ian, Gregg, and Jenn formed an alliance right away but then he and Ian considered Steph apart of their alliance but now Gregg and Jenn really want Steph gone.

Tom now talking it out with Gregg - wondering if Janu will sneak by in the end but Gregg insists that Steph is too strong. He says that Steph is STILL surviving after 11 tribal councils in a row and that makes her a threat. Tom thinking about it now. Gregg talking about Steph as we see her washing her face. He says he loves her to death and he'll really miss her but better she go now before she's too comfortable in the tribe.

Tom says that it seems like Steph will be going home even though it's not where his heart is...then he says that he'll wait to see what happens, that anything can happen to change things.

Janu is back now. They ask her how it was and she says, "GREAT!" They can't believe it but say they are happy for her. They are happy that she figured out how to make fire. They say she came back better than when she left. Janu is digusted with them. They all keep saying that she is the one creating hostility but yet they can't even "act" happy for her that she had a good night.

Steph says that everyone seems to agree that Janu should go tonight but she has a weird feeling that she (STEPH) is actually the one going. No one wants to talk to her about it and it makes her nervous.

They arrive at TC. Coby comes in and sits down. Janu smiles over at him, happy to see him. Jeff asks how Janu did on her island and she says she did great. She says she finally got the fire going and did a little dance to celebrate. She says the sun came up and woke her up and it was great. Jeff asks if she bought everyone saying good luck when she left the challenge. She says no - that she suspects 1/2 of them were sincere and the others could care less if she comes home. Caryn says she is shocked and if that's what she wants to think she can't stop her.

Tom says no one is voting on who they like or who makes them laugh -= they are voting on the game now. We see Steph as he says this and she looks worried again. Gregg agrees that it's all about threat - you definitely want someone who is not going to really try and not someone who is going to be the worst to beat. Steph now has her head down (nice editting tonight)... Katie says she doesn't pose any threat at this piont. Janu says there is no reason they should keep her - =they should just get rid of her. Steph lets out a frustrated sigh at this and drops her head.

Jeff can't believe Janu would feel that way... Ian says that Janu has the power to put her torch down and give up. Jeff says that Steph's look could kill right now and Steph says that it's hard when someone could care less might stay because they won't try and she, who does care, will probably get voted off.

Jeff says, "So you feel like you're in the hot seat right now." Steph says that she KNOWS she is and breaks down in tears. Tom is taking that hard... he looks away. Jeff now asks Tom about whether is a dilema about keeping someone who doesn't want to stay and voting out someone who really wants to try and win.

Janu says she would ask the tribe to vote her out and keep Steph. Jeff asks what the difference is between her just giving up and asking the tribe to vote her out. Janu says there is no difference... she would lay down her torch so Steph can stay... Steph says she doesn't want her to do it for HER but if that's what she wants... Janu clarifies it's something she wants to do and it's not just to keep Steph.

Janu does quit. She gives Jeff her torch and Steph is now smiling. Jeff tells Steph she escaped another one tonight but it sounds like she's got her work cut out for her. He sends them back to camp.

Yep, she quit. Stephenie got very emotional when she heard Janu say she didn't care if she stayed or not. So Janu said fine, I will lay my torch down so Steph can stay....

Next time: Steph steps up her game. (There is talk about all the women together.) Gregg is worried that they didn't vote her out soon enough.

Janu says she asked them to let her go home and it didn't work. So, she took the decision out of their hands. She guesses she did mess up their plans after all by laying down her torch and, even though she laid it down, no one will ever be able to take this experience away from her.

Terrific TC tonight.

Make sure you sit down and watch it.

Coby's expressions are something to see.

Excellent job, as usual Raen, thanks so much!!! I love that Janu didn't let them keep her and vote out Step, she got the last laugh on them. Had a great nite without them and then screwed up their plans, I love that, LOL.

So Gregg wants to go to the end, obviously with Jenn, and anyone else who is weak. At least Tom seems to want some strong ones around. When Tom tells us that "Gregg and Jenn" want such and such , he should be working to break up that alliance.

Well, now that Janu is official, not really a surprise.

Thanks for all the detail Raen. That's what makes this so great, the detail. Raen!

Yeah, I did know Janu was supposed to leave last week or this, but BIG surprise that she foiled them and quit. It almost sounds like Jeff engineered it or suggested that she might do it though..

this isnt for me since i saw the show but can we all be careful in the beginning of our posts so people who hit "new messages" dont accidentally see what happens at the end of the show if they dont want to know... it was easy to see who was gone and why just from the first few words of the posts up above,,, (i know there is no way to ask the mods to hide those posts this time around, but just for future reference)


that being said... WOW - i was yelling for joy when that happened and stephanie was safe.,. woo hoo

Thank you so much for the recap Raenstorm. Our station got cut off after the immunity challenge due to severe weather and I have been going nuts not knowing what was happening.

Well, Sea, I don't think I caught it in my typing but someone else mentioned the laying down the torch before Jeff did. When Janu said they should just vote her to go someone said, "That's the same as laying down your torch." (It may have even been Steph.) On the other hand, it was Jeff who point blank asked her what was the difference between asking people to vote her out and just quitting.

I honestly do not mind that Janu is gone but I felt Jeff manipulated the whole tribal council to that end. He really pushed the issue. I do hope we aren't going to see a whole lot more of this type of intervention by Jeff...it could totally change the course of the game.

I agree Lori. This show was all B.S. for me. They didnt want Stephanie gone because she added to the drama of the sow so they orchestrated Janu leaving. What a waste this episode was to me.

i agree that it seemed like jeff engineered janu quitting but i wondered if he didnt have an reason. she has become painfully thin and is obviously emotionally distressed when in the group. and the way she is being sniped at is getting worse. when she threw up the food i was really really worried for her. i wonder if the production staff wasnt a bit worried as well

What Gidget said. Jeff spent the whole episode defending Janu from the shitty behavior of the rest of the tribe. I've like Stephanie through the whole game, but she lost alot of ground with me tonight by crying and begging at tribal council, all but begging everyone else to vote out Janu and then telling Janu not to drop out for her, even though she didn't deserve to be there because Stephanie would kill to be there. Give me a break. Steph can go next, I wish, except I'm really ready for Katie and (Karen?) to bite it hard. Truly, I was sick to death of Janu's crying, but the other womens' behavior toward her bothered me much more. High school indeed. Janu hit that nail on the head.
