#98 Janu Tornell: Palau (8th Place)
Some people seem to hold an unforgivaeable stigma over players who quit the game, and I agree with that sentiment in cases such as Osten, NaOnka, and Kelly Purple, but I will never be able to feel the same way about Janu. Just denied of her main ally #1 in Coby, Janu was left alone on a tribe full of enemies, which included bully Katie Gallagher. Janu was the first to ever journey to Exile Island and actually enjoyed the experience of getting away from her tribe. At tribal council Stephenie was slated to go next as the only remaining member of Ulong, but Jeff convinced Janu to quit the game and save Stephenie. Maybe I'm just interpreting the scene wrong, but it seemed to me as if Jeff coerced Janu into quitting. Obviously she had to have it in her mind at the time, but I'm not sure if Janu would have left the game without Jeff's influence. Regardless of what made her quit, I am fond of Janu and always feel sorry for the way the mega-bitch Katie treated her.
