Survivor: NicaraguaEdit

Jane Bright was place on the Espada tribe, which consisted of castways of at least 40 or older. Jane quickly made fire, impressing everyone on the tribe. At the first challenge, Espada decided to not use the Medallion of Power. Jane was placed at the puzzle section of the challenge. Despite her and the other women's efforts, the younger La Flor won the challenge. At tribal council, Jane agreed that Wendy DeSmidt-Kohlhoff was the weakest after her speech and voted her off. Espada used the Medallion at the next challenge, which gave them the win. They earned fishing gear from the victory, which Jane was delighted about. Jane enjoyed fishing with famed NFL coach Jimmy Johnson. Marty Piombo was concerned about her and Holly Hoffman admiration for Jimmy J. Jane reassured Holly that she was safe, despite stealing Dan Lembo's shoes. Marty showed everyone that he found the Hidden Immunity Idol. La Flor won immunity and reward, sending Espada to their second tribal council. Jimmy J. admitted he was one of the weakest, which caused everyone to vote him off. Things turn miserable when a strong storm hit the campsite. After a the rainy, cold night, the camp was filled with debris. There was very little rice and the fish left the fishing area. Jane missed Jimmy J.'s Leadership and hoped something would step up.  Because of La Flor using the medallian of Power and Jimmy Tarantino's insubordination, Espada lost horribly. Jane voted against the weakest member, Dan. However, Marty was annoyed with Jimmy T.'s and arranged elimination. 

After Jimmy T's ouster, Marty assured Dan that Jane and Holly would be the next to go. This did not happen as a tribe switch occured. Jane along with Marty and Jill Behm was selected to be on La Flor by Brenda Lowe. Jane like the younger people being similiar to her. Also she like their organization, yet laid backed attitudes. Jane felt excluded by Marty and Jill, who she viewed as "tighter than ticks" Jane told Brenda and Purple Kelly that Marty and Jill was untrustworthy and should be voted out immediately. Knowing that Jane would tell them about his idol, Marty revealed it to the younger tribe. They had mixed reactions to the idol. La Flor won the immunity challenge, keeping Jane Safe. The next challenge was for individual immunity as both tribe would be going to tribal council. Jill won immunity and won the tribe a feast at tribal council as well. Jane was going to vote out Marty, which Brenda wanted her to do for a Split Vote plan. At tribal council, Marty whispered to Jane to vote against Brenda. Jane ignored him and voted against him. The vote was tied 3-3-2 between Marty and Kelly Bruno. Jane was the only one to vote against Marty at the revote. Marty wanted to know why she voted against, stating he was always honest with her. La Flor lost the next two challenges. Marty saved himself by giving his idol to Sash Lenahan.

The La Flor tribe received a tree mail indicating to move to the Espada camp. The tribes had merged and they feasted. Marty named the new tribe Libertad. Jane clicked with Chase Rice because both was from North Carolina. At the immunity challenge, Jane outlasted the other women to win. Jane insisted on competing against men, which Jeff allowed. Eventually, Fabio Birza outlasted Chase for the men's immunity. Jane continued her vendetta with Marty by voting against him. At tribal council, Marty launched a tirade against her. He claimed that she was the biggest threat for her strength, likability, and even proclaimed that he would vote for her. Everyone else voted against Alina Wilson for her being a threat. At the next reward challenge, the women was teamed up against the men, excluding Chase. Chase decided to support the women, who lost to the other men. During their reward, Marty tried to organized a attempted to flush NaOnka Mixon's idol and blindside Jane. Brenda won immunity, much to Jane's delight. Marty's plan failed when Chase and Sash sided with the women and he was voted out instead. The next reward, Jane was teamed up with Chase, Fabio, NaOnka and Purple Kelly. They won the challenge easily, earning them a trip to a helicopter to go volcano surfing. At the immunity challenge, Jane nearly dropped out but Chase urged her on. Jane won immunity for the second time. She agreed with Holly's planned to vote off Brenda. Jane's team lost the next reward challenge. NaOnka and Purple Kelly announced they wanted to quit, but Jeff said to think over the decision. At tribal council, Jane informed the women the life had much harder times ahead. She added that people was much worse off and they are not playing Survivor. Despite everyone efforts to convince them otherwise, The women left the game that night.

Chase won the next reward challenge, and selected Jane and Holly to accompany him. Chase worried that bring Jane was a mistake as Sash was a swing vote. Thankfully, Sash Join Jane, Holly, and Chase to vote out Benry Henry. The next tree mail had a smartphone with messages from home. The reward challenge was a Loved Ones Challenge. Jane competed with her Daughter, Ashley. Chase won the challenge, but opted to take Sash, Holly and his respective loved ones instead. Jane was upset with the decision, because it was Ashley's last summer before going to college. The target, Fabio, won immunity. This cause Jane's alliance to turn on her. Sash told her upfront, which Jane gave him the middle finger. She didn't want him to even look at her. Jane pour water over the fire, saying "I started it, I putting it out". At tribal council, Jane launched a tirade against Holly for stealing Dan's shoes and tried to get Fabio and Dan to vote out Holly. This failed and Jane was unanimously voted out, with her vote being negated by Sash's idol.

At Final Tribal Council, Jane started by saying that someone raised Sash good to be a New York River Rat and he should go back to the sewers were he came from. Jane explained that she was still angry with Chase for betraying her, but he made her time of Survivor: Nicaragua the funnest event she had. She asked him what he do with the million dollars. Chase said he would donate $100,000 dollars to a cancer research center that his brother founded. Next, Chase declared that he would use the money to take care of him Mom.
