Jane you ignorant chicken eatin' survivor.

Just when you think you have this game figured out, you find out you really never do.
Day 32
We start by seeing Sash telling Fabio that he wanted to tell him that he was voting for Benry last week but couldn't. I am not sure if I am a fan of Sash or not but the boy knows when to keep his mouth shut. Fabio thinks people are underestimating him and I really don't think that at all.
Day 33 - Family Reunion Day - Everybody say cheese.
This is always one of my favorites episodes of Survivor. This is the episode where people let their guard down and not so much for themselves but for the family and friends of others who show up. You get a first hand look at how really screwed up other families are - OR NOT -. Okay who cried, let's have a show of hands when Holly told everyone that they had missed their 25th wedding anniversary. Chase's mom was a close second. You won't admit it but this is usually a tear jerker.
Family Challenge
Get bags of puzzle pieces out of a pool and give them to your other family member to put together. I swear to God that Dan almost drowned in the kiddie sized pool. Chase and his mom win and take Sash and Holly even after he promised to take Fabs. Here is my Grinch Hard Take on that one. If Fab wants to go on the reward trip then win the reward challenge dude, you ain't in junior high now.
Jane, Jane, Jane
I have liked Jane since the beginning and really hoped she would go far in this game. She had to have been listening when various people have told her that if she makes it to the final, she probably wins the whole thing. As the night wore on even she said she was the 4th person in a four person alliance.
Reward
The one item that stood out was Chase admitted that Naonka had given him the other idol. Holly, Sash and Chase are a big three and are in charge.....maybe. After the trip Fabs is mad at Chase for not taking him on reward. Dude, what would you have gained by going? Some food, a few drinks and a few hours with mom. Get in your car and go visit your mom and she'll feed you and buy you a six pack, get over it. This game isn't won over a reward challenge.
Immunity Challenge - Blindfolds at twenty paces.
If I ever make it on Survivor and there is a blindfold challenge, I am asking for a crotch cup. Do you know how many times the guys walk into a post that is crotch high?
Anyhow, Fabs wins immunity and finally stops crying.
Best Survivor meeting ever where no one said anything.
Jane walks up to Sash, Holly and Chase and asks them who they are voting for. Cue the crickets and Jane's middle finger rub of her nose. Classic with a capital FU. She had to see this coming.
Final Council
I think a great council. My point to make is this council is an example of why you need to really review your situation and come up with options. Jeff is now experienced at shaking the trees when gathering information and getting people to open up. (Did everyone like that reference? Just came to me about one minute ago.) Basically the council involved Jane calling out Holly, Sash and Chase. What she needed to do prior to tribal council was to put Fabio and Dan on notice that one of them was next, period. She should have pushed hard to get them to vote for at least a tie which most likely would have been building a fire and she would have won going away. Fabs and Dan were voting just to get past last night, not to win this game. They are down 3 - 2 now and at this point it might as well be 100 - 1. When you are at this point you have to play the odds which they didn't, especially Dan. Unless the other four drop dead, he ain't winning a challenge to move on. It was an opportune time to get rid of Jane, but Fabs and Dan didn't do themselves any favors by voting her out as one of those two goes home next.
Sunday finale
Nobody trusts anybody.
