Apparently hell hath no fury like a Jane scorned, eh?
How does the hidden immunity idol come into play if there was a tie? I have many "rules" questions after this episode in an effort to understand why they didn't fight the "big three" at all.
If they had forced a tie between Jane and Holly and re-voted to get the same tie, then would they bring in the purple rock? Who would have to pick a rock? Would Jud, Chase and Sash all be exempt since they had immunity? Then Jane and Holly would be exempt too because that has been the rule in the past (the people involved in the tie are not supposed to pick a rock). That means Dan would be eliminated, which wouldn't really help Jud or Jane in the long run, except that Jane could still win some immunities and end up in the final three. I initially thought they were stupid to not force a tie situation, but after I went through this scenario, I realized what would happen if they did. Jud and Dan extended their chances by NOT forcing a tie and by letting Jane leave. That is assuming that the people who played HII would be exempt from picking a rock.
If, realizing that the purple rock scenario wouldn't really work in this situation, they went to a fire building tie breaker instead though, Jane would have won for sure.
Interesting episode. I hope Jeff addresses the possible tie scenarios in his blog this week to verify that I'm thinking this through properly.
