Voting Confessionals

Thoriso's voting confessional was aired during the Tribal Council segment. Tyson's confessional was shown during Thoriso's final words.

Marisha “ (voting against Kiran) Kiran, I hope this works, nay? ” Qiean “ (voting against Tyson) It is what it is. I'm sticking to the plan. ” Dino “ (voting against Tyson) I suspect Thoriso has no vote, Tyson plays an idol, Thoriso plays an idol, and collateral damage goes home. However, if either one of us are not here tomorrow, Tyson, I just wanted to let you know that I respect the hell out of you as a human being. You're a phenomenal guy. And, uh, just happens to be a privilege meeting you, so thank you for that, man. ” Nicole “ (voting against Tyson) This pains me to do. I am so sorry, but I couldn't risk the loyalty of my alliance. ” Renier “ (voting against Tyson) Hit a knockout blow, mean Mike Tyson. I love what you're doing. Looking forward to playing further with you. This is just for the plan and for the show. ” Kiran “ (voting against Thoriso) We could have had something going, but you threw my boy Tyson under the bus and that, for me, is unforgiveable. ” Tyson “ (voting against Thoriso) I tried to help you and you decided to throw me under the bus. So it's my absolute pleasure to run you over with it. Goodbye. ” Thoriso “ (shows no vote) Um, I went out swinging. That's all I could do. ”

Final Words

	Thoriso	“	I'm feeling very disappointed that a lot of Survivor head knowledge couldn't translate into actual playing knowledge, um, but I had the time of my life.	”

Voting Confessionals

An edited version of Chappies' confessional was shown during Carla's final words.

Santoni “ (voting against Carla) This is the worst vote and will be the worst vote I have to cast. I love you so much, but you're just a phenomenal player. I'm so sorry. ” Anela “ (voting against Carla) Sorry girl. Nothing personal, but it's been a pleasure to get to know you. ” Amy “ (voting against Carla) Carla, I really, really, really wish I didn't have to do this vote tonight and vote for you. Um, I think you're an amazing person and a really, really formidable player and I'm s-I'm going to be very sorry to see you go. ” Chappies “ (voting against Carla) Unfortunately, the shadow of your previous alliance led to this moment. I wish you all the best. ” Shaun “ (voting against Carla) Really didn't want to do this. Wish we could have gone further. I'm so, so sorry. ” Wardah “ (voting against Chappies) Probably one of the easiest votes I've ever made thus far. ” Carla “ (voting against Chappies) I'm voting for you because you're gunning for me. I don't feel like you've painted me in a fair light. Um, I've got a feeling I could be blindsided tonight, but I hope not. Um, yeah, I hope you don't have that idol. If you do, then well played. ”

Final Words

	Carla	“	Definitely blindsided. If that was the way that I was supposed to go out, then that was the way I was supposed to go out. I maybe played too hard too soon which is what I said I wouldn't do, but it's really hard to not.	”
