Final Words

	Cirie	“	I hate the title ‘The Best Survivor Player to Never Win’, but I guess I’m gonna have to wear it. Who I want to win is Parv, who I think may win is Luke. And I tried to tell Janine if Luke gets to this Final Three, Luke has a great chance. We’ll have to see.	”

Final Words

	Parvati	“	This is my final time playing Survivor, so to have been awarded the win from the jury is like the sweetest moment. I’m so grateful to have been a part of this experience of Australia v The World. There’s something about this game that just gets in my blood. I feel like I was born to play Survivor. I think this is the best game of Survivor I’ve played because I think I made some pretty great moves. I kept myself in a majority alliance. This feels like a full circle moment for me, personally. It feels like I’ve been rewriting history in a way that feels so right.	”
