Voting Confessionals

Jan is shown writing Clay's name on the parchment. Brian is shown writing Ghandia's name on the parchment.

	Ted	“	(voting against Ghandia) You blew up an issue way beyond the scope of this game. For that reason, this vote is personal, and I truly, truly hope I never, ever see you in my life again.	”

	Clay	“	(voting against Ghandia) You played cat and mouse. You just didn't do good-- too good at it. You got busted, so bye-bye, Denver.	”

	Ghandia	“	(voting against Clay) It's between you and me tonight, so let the best person win.	”

Final Words

	Ghandia	“	I made, um, a big mistake in trying to play one side against the other side because of an event that happened to me that I should've just let go. But unfortunately, the evil Ghandia came to rue her ugly head and the good Ghandia just couldn't stop her. Have fun everybody still sleeping out in the dirt. (laughs) Peace out.	”

• The votes were not revealed during Ghandia's final words.
