Voting Confessionals
"nuku"

- (voting against Tai) Tai, you're a fool. You threw my name out there, but what you don't know is if you come after me, I bury you. The queen stays queen. Adiós.

Final Words
"nuku"

- Jeff finally got to snuff my torch, but I think I did good for 16 days considering I'm a two-time winner. I owe a lot to Survivor, and I love Survivor, and it's in my heart. I don't wanna get teary, but I know why I live the life that I live, and it's because of Survivor. There will never be another two-time winner, except the Queen.
