Voting Confessionals

Phil was shown retrieving the Hidden Immunity Idol from under the voting urn; his confessional was shown during Tejan's final words.

	Phil	“	(voting against Tejan) […] You didn't have to show your idol. Now we have to flush it out. And I knew I couldn't trust you.	”

	Dino	“	(voting against Felix) Sorry Flex, I have mad love for you, but unfortunately, you went a bit rogue and I think uh, you would come for me sooner rather than later.	”

	Shane	“	(voting against Tejan) Just voting as I'm instructed. You shouldn't be going home, and uh, if you do, it's not what I planned.	”

Final Words

	Tejan	“	I made it to Day 30, what a milestone, but I probably put my foot in it a little too much, a little too many truths and that may well have sealed my fate. […] Maybe me revealing this [idol] got someone to flip. (sighs) I guess I'll only know when I watch this season again. What an honour to have been called back. I hold my head up high. Tejan out.	”
