Evangeline Lilly’s Kate Austen joined Sawyer as one of the last four available options for the new protector of the island. But like so many others, Kate’s name had already been crossed out on the cave wall.

Sayid, another member of Jacob’s candidates, had a run-in with him sometime after leaving the island. After Nadia’s death, Jacob crossed paths with him for a brief moment at her funeral. Since his name wasn’t crossed out at the lighthouse, it’s clear that Sayid outlasted most of the candidates on Jacob’s list. It’s hard to say if he would have been...

It’s hard to say definitely which one was Jacob’s choice, especially since both died shortly before “The Candidate”. Plus, Jacob touched both of them at the same time when he met them at a wedding. The Man in Black said that he too wasn’t ...
A flashback of Jacob touching John Locke (Terry O’Quinn) after he had broken his back confirmed that even though Locke wasn’t one of Lost’s “special” characters, he truly was one of Jacob’s candidates all along. Given his belief in destiny and his interest in doing what “the island” wanted, it’s highly likely that he – and not Jack or Hurley – woul...
Aside from the candidates mentioned above, several other main characters in ABC’s Lost show had their last names written on the wall of the cliffside cave. All of them were crossed out, presumably for various reasons. Obviously, some were removed from contention simply because they met an untimely end. This explanation applies to Charlie, Shannon, ...
