Voting Confessionals

Phoebe, Rohan and Andrew's voting confessionals were shown during the airing.

	Kristie	“	(voting against Rohan) You're most likely to throw me under the bus, and I've gotta work with what's best for me moving forward.	”

	Kat	“	(voting against Rohan) My mum always taught me that patience is a virtue, and I cannot tell you how long I've been waiting for this moment.	”

	Phoebe	“	(voting against Sue) I'm not going home tonight, I just need it to be anyone else but me.	”

	Rohan	“	(voting against Kat) I actually hope that Sue is going home tonight, but I said that I would vote for you, thank you, and I'm a man of my word.	”

	Conner	“	(voting against Phoebe) I think you're very intelligent and very sociable. And I think you'll become a huge threat later in the game.	”

	Craig	“	(voting against Phoebe) You and Rohan make a really strong power couple, and I can't have that in my game.	”

	Kate	“	(voting against Phoebe) You seem like a really awesome girl, and I'm sticking with the majority here.	”

	Andrew	“	(voting against Phoebe) You make this game way too easy, just like shooting ducks in a barrel. Enjoy your flight home.	”

	Sue	“	(voting against Phoebe) Nothing personal, Phebs. I have to stay loyal to my alliance.	”

Final Words

	Rohan	“	Wow, that was- I don't think I've ever heard of that happening on Survivor before! But- y'know, you never know of these things, it was a big surprise, but I'm proud of what I did. I'm happy I went out keeping my word. As a player in the game I'd like to be remembered as- uh, just a guy that stood by his word, who stood by his alliance, and was friendly and fun-loving and loved to compete, and that's who I am.	”
