Voting Confessionals

Michelle's vote was not shown during her confessional. Tessa and Henry's confessionals were shown in the episode. Sarah and Jericho's confessionals were shown at the end of the episode.

	Ziggy	“	(voting against Peter) You're on the bottom, there's no point in mixing it up right now. Plus, after today I'm still in a majority, so... (shrugs)	”

	Locky	“	(voting against Peter) Just an easy vote, but, sorry.	”

	Michelle	“	(voting against Henry) For me, this is the easy vote because it benefits my game.	”

	Jericho	“	(voting against Henry) You are accelerating way too fast in this game, and I have to put you down.	”

	Sarah	“	(voting against Henry) This is a bit of a gamble, I'm going with the numbers that I've worked with on Asaga. But, knowing you, I'd be surprised if you didn't see it coming.	”

	Tessa	“	(voting against Henry) Um, fingers crossed this works.	”

	Tara	“	(voting against Peter) And another one bites the dust. See ya, Petey.	”

	Henry	“	(voting against Peter) Petey, it's an easy vote. But at the same time it's a strategic vote. You were never in any of my alliances and I've got to get rid of Samatau one by one.	”

	Peter	“	(voting against Henry) It's me or you tonight. I hope all the talking at Tribal has thrown people off the fact that you should hide behind your idol. But, if you vote against me, it's me, but, we'll see.	”

	Luke	“	(voting against Henry) So I decided to vote Peter tonight. (mimes nose growing like Pinocchio) "I'm a real boy!"	”

Final Words

	Henry	“	I don't even know what I feel, I can't wipe the smile off my face for some reason and I just got kicked out, but y'know, there's no better way of going out than by blindside. I want to be remembered as the guy that absolutely played the game from Day 1, y'know, I went after everything. I was throwing challenges, I was building multiple alliances, I got rid of idols, I got rid of powerful idols, y'know. I got forty days away with doing half a yoga class! Y'know, credit to the guys getting me out, because I think I would've had a real chance if I made it to the end. I had to be the Australian first walking out of the game with an idol in my pocket! Credit to 'em! Game recognise game, that was pretty good!	”
