Jeff basically egged Janu on until she quit.

Janu arrives at her island. She decides to make fire first, she won't be so scared if she has fire. She's having difficuilty making fire and is getting frustrated. Night falls and she's still trying to start a fire. It's a challenge but she needed time away from that tribe. She finally gets a real barnburner started. Yesterday she didn't want to be here but maybe God is telling her it isn't time for her to leave. She's dancing on the beach under the full moon.

Back at camp, day 27. Tom says the big decision is who is going home tonight. The girls all think it should be Janu, Gregg says that's because they like Stephenie and Gregg thinks he can convince Jenn to vote for Stephenie. Tom isn't happy because he, Ian, Katie and Step are supposed to be final four. They are discussing Janu over Steph, Gregg says Steph is a bigger challenge threat than Janu. She's a strong competitor, she conquered Ulong, they don't want her to come in and conquer Koror. Tom thinks that's the way the wind is blowing, it isn't what he wants, they'll have to wait and see.

Janu returns, she tells them it took her 2-1/2 hours to make fire. They congratulate her on starting fire. She admits she didn't want to return, mocks the hypocrisy of everyone welcoming her back who had been talking bad to her.

Steph feeling uneasy, they all said it would be Janu and Janu wants to go but she's afraid it will be her. No one will talk to her about it.

Tribal Council. The jury comes in. Coby is clean shaven. Jiffy asks Janu about her night alone on the island. She talks about making fire and dancing on the beach. She didn't think the 'good lucks' as she left were sincere. Caryn is shocked.

Tom says it's gamesmanship now, basing their votes how it positions people in the game, not who they like or who makes them laugh. Gregg says anyone who wants to win $1million is a threat to him, it's not about fairness. Steph looks very worried. Why keep Katie? She says she doesn't pose any threat, any challenge threat. Why keep Janu? No reason, vote her off, she's ready to go, they should vote for her. Why keep someone who wants out of the game? Ian says the individual has the right to do that. Stephenie can't understand why someone is still there who doesn't want to be there, and she had fought so hard to stay. Janu says she has received all she needed and is ready to go, Stephenie says fine, but she isn't ready to go.

Steph says it isn't fair they will keep someone who doesn't want to stay rather than someone with so much heart and will. Janu says if she had her way she'd ask the tribe to vote her off and keep Stephenie, no difference between laying down her torch and asking team to vote her off and keep Stephenie. Stephenie says don't do it on my account. Janu says I'm doing it on my own, I am laying down my torch tonight. Jiffy snuffs her torch and Janu will remain and be a member of the jury. He lays Janu's torch on the ground. Coby and Stephenie smile at each other.

Tom: the big decision we're facing is who's going home tonight. The girls all want Janu off

Gregg says he thinks Steph has the ability to bond with the girls...

Tom says Jenn and Gregg who've since joined them, are adament that Steph goes home.

Tom: at what point does Janu go?

Gregg: next.

Tom: why not now if it's going to be next week anywhere...

Ian: well we know they have to go...

Gregg is concerned about Steph surviving 11 TCs in a row...she's a competitor she's got a strong will...Stephanie's story has been continuing...Steph conquers Ulong, then conquers Koror.

Ian: I love her to death, I'm really going to miss her

Tom: as things seem now, Steph appears to be going home now. It's not where my heart is but anything can happen

Janu is back...they're congratulating her on getting fire.

Janu sais it was a full circle for her...had time to ge by herself and that was good...Steph's being really nice ot her.

Janu (confessional) to be honest I didn't want to come back...the same people who were being nice were the ones saying she was creating anomisity

Katie and Jenn gossping again.

Steph says we all agreed it was Janu tonight but for some reason I thought it was going to be me.

Steph's talking to Ian (with Tom and Gregg right there, it appears)asks if ...says she thinks it's her.

Steph says it almost seems like no one wants to talk about is so she's really nervous.

At TC:

Jiffy to Janu: let's talk about your night alone...

Janu: I did great, got my fire going, did a little dance...it was a big acomplisment...in the morning the sun rose and it was a whole new day.

Jiffy: as you left in your boat, everybody waved and said goodbye, did you buy it

Janu: honestly.........no. I think half was real the other half was playing the game.

Caryn says she shocked that Janu took it that way.

Tom: It's all gamesmanship now...nobody's voting based on who they like or who makes me laugh...everyone's voting on

Gregg: it's not a question of worthiness...you want someone in the game who's not going to try over someone who's trying

Jiffy why keep Katie:

Jiffy to Janu: why keep you?

Janu: I wouldn't, I have no reason to be here...

Ian: if you feel like you want out, there's no one keeping you here.

Steph: it's nothing against Janu...it kills me...someone who could care less if they're even here...and here I am I'd kill to be here.

Janu: I've received what I needed

Steph: if someone asked me to vote them out I'd be like "see ya".

Jiffy: you feel like your in the hot seat tonight?

Steph: I know I am. I guess I've showed to much heart and too muhc will

Jiffy: is there a dilemma?

Tom: praising steph but saying it's not work, it's survivor

Janu says she'd ask the tribe to vote me out and keep steph in. I'd be willing to lay down my torch so that Steph would have a chance to stay in the game

Steph: not just for me, if she wants ot lay down and quit the game that's fine.

Jiffy: I just wanna be clear, you are on your own quitting this game.

Janu: yes Jeff, I will lay down my torch.

Jiffy's not looking to pleased with another quitter.

Janu per your wishes, this game is over for you...you will return for jury.

Janu: thank you Jeff.

Jeff: Another strange turn of events at TC...Steph you've hung in there a long time, overcome a lot of odds

Stephanie better start winning some immunity challenges STAT.

I think it was very big of Janu to do what she did and though she did quit, I wouldn't exactly put her in the same class as Osten. She gave her torch so Stephanie can hopefully kick their ##### another day.

Was it me, or was Jiffy almost egging Janu on about the whole quitting deal? Janu didn't do too shabby on the RC, so we know she can compete when she's right there in the challenge. And she didn't walk into TC saying "Here's my torch". They had to talk it over for a few minutes before she actually did it. And only after Steph described how badly she wanted to stay in, too.

No it wasn't just you. I really felt Jeff interfered with the game BIG TIME by doing what he did. He usually tries to talk quitters into staying. I can see where he might just be getting tired of people saying they want out, but I don't think he should be trying to put words in contestant's mouths. There *is* a difference between laying down your torch and asking the tribe to vote you out: the tribe might not comply with your wish (remember Shawna).

Janu was prepared to have the tribe vote as usual, and Jeff should have let them, imo.
