Voting Confessionals
Baylor said nothing in voting for Val"coyopa"

- I just wanna see that idol, girl.

"coyopa"

- I've got a nice five guys alliance. You're sweet as you can be, but you gotta go.

Voting Confessionals (Revote)
"coyopa"

- I told you to play your idol and I told you what was gonna happen. Now I'm gonna be like a liar to your husband.

Final Words
"coyopa"

- I feel like I've made big moves considering that I wasn't with the tribe for two days. It worked for a little while, I wish it would've worked for longer. But I'm happy with what I did. And I think that Jeremy seeing me gone it will be a shock to him initially, but I think it will make him go harder in this game, and I think it will inspire him. So. I'm happy with that.

 * I See Where The Tears Came From: Josh Canfield talks about Natalie Anderson's reaction when she found out that Nadiya Anderson was voted out. Josh says that when Natalie started to cry, he also felt emotional because he imagined what Reed Kelly was gonna feel if he didn't have showed up at the Exile Arena.

 * The Twist In This Game: Missy Payne talks about Natalie Anderson seing that Nadiya Anderson and that she put herself in her place.

 * It Was So Hard: Baylor Wilson talks about going against Missy Payne in the Immunity Challenge.

 * A Little Less Stress: Jon Misch talks about Julie McGee going against John Rocker at the Reward Challenge and the negotiation with Jeff Probst for a new flint. Jon says that he was worried about Julie having to go against John at the Reward Challenge, but as the challenge went, he saw that it was much easier for Julie to go through the course and win. He then says that they should have bargained with Jeff before the challenge and he thinks that Jeff felt like he was being used by the tribe but that wasn't their intention. He finishes saying that it would be good to have the fishing gear and catch some fish, but at least now they have a flint.
 * Just Got To Roll With It: Drew Christy talks about having left the fishing gear for a flint. Drew says that he needs protein and it would be good to catch some fish, and he wish they had taken better care of their tools.

He finishes saying that he was not worried about going to Tribal Council.
 * I Kicked Butt: Julie McGee talks about her performance in the Reward Challenge against John Rocker. Julie says that she thought it was strange that John wanted to perform in that challenge because of his height, and that in the moment that she saw the challenge she knew that she could do well in it. She says that maybe John was with his moral low and wanted to prove a point, but she "proved back". Julie says that she was emotional after the challenge because she wanted to prove her worth for her tribe. She finishes saying that she thinks that John was happy for her and that he would've felt bad if she had lost.
 * I Could Never Be Prouder: Dale Wentworth talks about the Immunity Challenge and Kelley Wentworth's performance. Dale says that the challenge was brutal. He says that his favorite match was between Wes Nale and Jeremy Collins, and the worst for him was the one Jaclyn Schultz and Kelley. He says that he have cheered on Kelley's side for 28 years, and then he had to cheer against her. He says that he wanted to go hug her because she won for her tribe, "but unfortunately was the wrong tribe" and then he had to go to Tribal Council. He finishes saying that if he was voted out that night, he would "sleep with a big smile" because he couldn't be more proud about his daughter.
 * It Made Me Feel Good: Alec Christy talks about the Hunahpu tribe having to give up their reward. Alec says that fire is the most important thing in the game and he could not believe that the Hunahpu tribe lost theirs.

 * Past The First Hurdle: Reed Kelly talks about not being the first person voted out. Reed says that as a fan of the show, he didn't want to be the first voted out.

 * Exile Is Not Entirely Bad: John Rocker talks about his time on Exile Island. John says the only difference between the exile and the camp was that in exile they didn't have a shelter. He says that the clue to the Hidden Immunity Idol was his main reason to want to go there and he was glad that Jeremy Collins shared the clue with him. He finishes saying that he hopes that Val Collins's clue wasn't the same as his.
 * Go As Fas As I Can For Both Of Us: Natalie Anderson talks about Nadiya Anderson's elimination. Natalie says that she didn't think that she would feel so emotional for seeing that her sister was gone, but the hard part is that they weren't together. She says that they were looking forward to compete against each other in challenges and finishes saying that she will use Nadiya's elimination as motivation to go further in the game.
 * Fire Over Fishing Supplies: Keith Nale talks about his tribe trading fishing supplies for flint. Keith says that take the flint over the fishing gear was a smart decision because the fire could extinguish at anytime and they would need a flint to start a new one. He says that they can win the fishing supplies at the next challenge, so it was not "a big deal".
