Voting Confessionals

Shii Ann showed her vote but did not give a confessional.

	Penny	“	(voting against Shii Ann) Tonight, I'm voting for Shii Ann. It's obvious that you broke alliances and all I have to say is, "What comes around goes around."	”

Final Words

	Shii Ann	“	Well, I committed the classic error of plotting and scheming too much. (chuckles) This has been a really, really humbling experience for me and it's been really fun. The last three days were really some of the best days of my life. And good luck to the rest of you who are still in the game. No hard feelings.	”
