 CANOE -- JAM! Television - TV Shows - Survivor Palau: Janu quits 'Survivor'
Quirky Janu Tornell, the 39-year-old Las Vegas showgirl, laid down her torch on last night's episode claiming she had gotten what she needed out of the 'Survivor' experience...and apparently that had nothing to do with the million dollar check and the title of 'Sole Survivor'.
Janu, who had pathetically moped around in a hammock for the last nine episodes, became a whole different person once she was on her own and away from the group she didn't fit in with.
Janu: "I thought I was having an embolism." Gregg feels that because Janu couldn't keep the food down, she ruined the feast for the others.

However, there was a crucial part of the hours-long Tribal Council that we didn't get to see: Janu was worried that, if she quit, she couldn't be on the jury.
This clears up something for me. My impression was that Janu wasn't even AWARE that she could quit until Ian brought it up, which seemed odd.
Also, some people online have questioned whether Steph's emotional meltdown was authentic, since by the time Janu quit she was dry-eyed and composed, and even shot a grin over to Coby after Janu left.

 Survivor: Palau (Season 10) | tv : ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY
Almost as worthless as Caryn but a good 40 pounds lighter, Janu — like Coby last week — managed to seal her fate in the first few minutes of this episode, railing on the catty Katie for gossiping about her but not letting up when Katie actually managed to spit out an apology.
In yet another unexpected twist to this season, Janu was told she'd have to spend a night alone on an uninhabited nearby island.
The next day, it was clear that Janu didn't leave her ''screw you'' attitude back on her secluded beach, but the others still weren't convinced that she should be the next to go.

Ah but just as in the tale of Shoeless Joe, it *was* true and will forever be so: Janu Tornell laid down her torch at Tribal Council and walked off the show without a vote.
It didn't seem quite fair that host Jeff Probst's goading seemed to prompt the moment, but ultimately the voluntary exit was Janu's decision to make, and make it she did.
It was a most anticlimactic conclusion to her castaway experience.
