Maybe I should start over. The point of bringing this up was to talk about how something that was huge in the actual game -- whether or not it influenced votes -- was completely edited out. All direct traces excised. Only some trickle down remaining that couldn't be taken out.For example, did you notice the cut in Jane's voting speech at F6? And all her comments about Sash.
I don't for a minute think that Fabio wouldn't have won, or even that Fabio would have lost a vote. If anyone would have lost votes, it was Chase. Nobody thought that Chase played a strong game, the most credit he got was from Holly, but not much. Watch the secret scene clips from each juror that were taped right before Final Tribal.
Clearly they were instructed that they could not mention it. Jane just goes off on him without saying why.

As for missyae, who clearly has a source or sources from the cast, anyone reading the spoilers this season would see that often the filtering was minimal. Hearsay but by one degree.
Sash may have played like a used car salesman or a greasy politician, but Brian Heidik overcame that, and he won by a vote. I think that Sash took an unexpected path at TC by saying he was remorseful. If not for this huge shadow on him, he may have argued more forcefully about his playing.
Another fallout from this could be that a F3 player was made invisible for most of the episodes up until when he had to be shown, when he got the idol. He was playing, but not featured.
I just think it is interesting as a behind the scenes and editing thing.
I think Fabio would have won in any case.
