A pattern I have noticed is that the person eliminated in the penultimate episode of the season is, with maybe two exceptions, usually a huge character. We're at the final six and Fabio, the intended boot, has immunity, and since Dan is no threat to anybody, Jane, Holly, Sash and Chase must eat one of their own. Oh, and I should mention that both Sash and Chase have hidden immunity idols, and tonight is the last night they can use them, meaning the boot is either going to be Jane or Holly. Sash, Chase and Holly all decide that if Jane makes it to the final three, she will win the jury vote in a heartbeat no matter who she is up against, and, like the brilliant strategists that Nicaragua was full of, they decide to tell her. Instead of trying to save herself by shifting the target to nonthreat Dan, she just flips them off and throws a bucket of water on the fire. Then at tribal council, she announces that she's going to call every other person left out on the "evil" things they did over the course of the game, but really she only calls out Holly on purposely destroying Dan's $1400 shoes. Actually, there was another person that she called out before the producers stepped in and had to get her to shut up, but we didn't get to see that on the show, and I'll explain that later. Anyway, Jane predictably gets voted out and tells Chase that he should be ashamed to call himself a Carolinian. So what does she do with her jury vote three days later? She uses it on Chase, the guy who betrayed her the hardest.
Yet despite her terribleness, she wins Fan Favorite by the largest margine ever up to that point. Really America? Over Fabio, the loveable goofball? Over Holly, who probably had the single biggest redemption arc in Survivor history? You took the bait and picked the horrible person that the editors wanted you to.
And there's one more reason that I hate Jane, and one that a lot of casuals do not know about. We in the hardcore fanbase refer to it as Mortgagegate. See, although it wasn't shown on the show since it's actually against the written rules of Survivor, Sash and Jane made a deal to split the money if one of them won to help pay off Jane's mortgage. This is the "evil" thing that Jane called Sash out on that the producers had to step in and settle themselves. Neither were penalized for it, but it had to be cut from the edit to avoid controversy. Now, Sash has let this whole thing go. He admits what he did was wrong and is not bitter towards Jane about it. That's not to say I'm a fan of Sash, because I hate him for other reasons, but I can respect that much. Jane, on the other hand, is still bitter about it. Really, just let it go. You won fan favorite, just be happy with the hundred grand you got from that.
