Survivor's Jane on Her "Crushing Blow" and How Her Age Held Her Back

Posted: 16 Dec 2010 08:05 PM PST

Thanks to her candid nature, surprisingly tough physical presence and resourcefulness (she started a fire with reading glasses), Jane Bright gave Survivor: Nicaragua's older tribe a fighting chance.
