(voting against Jarrad) Jarrad, I hate to do this to you. I really wanted to work with you but, coming into merge I realised our numbers just didn't sync up, and I've just got to do what's best for me and my gameplay at this point.
(voting against Luke) I'm pretty sure the vote's not gonna go this way tonight, but I hope I can do some good damage control in the morning and everyone can be happy with me.
I think I was the first one voted out because, y'know, it seems like Locky and Tara probably led the charge. The cuts ran deep with Tara and Locky, y'know, they were kept on the bottom over at Samatau. It probably didn't help that I was close to Ziggy. And Ziggy, um- everyone knows that she has some secret power plus immunity, so then it falls to the right-hand man. I completely misread the situation and was too caught up in my own grand plans. Message to the remaining players: Keep going hard. Because it's a crazy game, so I feel very privileged to be a part of it.
