Notes: ^1 All votes cast were negated, causing a null vote. Per the rules of Survivor, a vote restart occurred. ^2 This castaway abstained from the vote in order to extend the duration for which their Hidden Immunity Idol could be used. ^3 This castaway played their Shot in the Dark, making them ineligible to vote at Tribal Council. The scroll they selected read "Safe", negating all votes cast against them. ^4 Bruce lost his vote as a result of having the most money left over at the end of the Survivor Auction. ^5 This castaway played their Shot in the Dark, making them ineligible to vote at Tribal Council. The scroll they selected, however, read "Not Safe", thus all votes against them remained valid. ^6 This castaway lost the challenge at the summit, thus they were unable to cast a vote. ^7 A Hidden Immunity Idol was played, negating all votes against its user. ^8 A Hidden Immunity Idol was played; however, no votes were cast against its user. ^9 Instead of a traditional vote, the winner of the Immunity Challenge would choose someone to take with them to the Final Three. The remaining two castaways would compete in a fire-making challenge to determine the last finalist.
