Voting Confessionals
"kota"

- I'll let your frustration taking it out on me at Tribal Council go by the wayside. I'll see you on the other side. Sorry buddy, it's just time.

"kota"

- Marcus, you always told me that, you liked comics where the little guy takes on the bad guy, or the bully. Well, hopefully that happens tonight.

"kota"

- Sorry Ken. However, spilling your guts tonight makes it a little bit easier.

"kota"

- Marcus, I have a lot of respect for you, but Crystal and Kenny told me that you had it where you were gonna vote me out anyway. I wish you the best of luck, you're a good kid.

"kota"

- You are not the Kota god. Go home. Goodbye.

Behind The Scenes

 * After his elimination, Marcus was temporarily sent to base camp to have his medical examination, where he revealed he lost 15 lbs. after 24 days. There, he slept in one of the air-conditioned collapsible cabins, before heading to Ponderosa the next morning. The next day, Marcus goes to the nearby lighthouse, where he retrieved the Ponderosa flag and hung it on the lighthouse's baluster.
 * In a voiceover, Jeff Probst revealed that since there are no roads leading to Ponderosa, eliminated contestants would be sequestered overnight at base camp, before they airlift them to Ponderosa the next morning. Before Tribal Council, jury members would be airlifted back to base camp, where they will be transported to the Tribal Council set.
