Winners: Light Green Team (Caryn Groedel, Gregg Carey, Janu Tornell and Tom Westman)

Final Words[]
Janu |
“ | I asked them to please let me go home and it didn't work, so I made the last move, and I decided to take myself out of the game. I guess I did make a major power play and I guess I did ruin their plans. Even though I laid down my torch, no one will ever be able to take away this most unforgettable experience. No one. | ” |
