Voting Confessionals

Jaison did not say anything when he voted.

“	I feel terrible about blindsiding you like this. This is strictly strategic and that's it. Um, we have a soft alliance over at Galu, and a lot of it hinges on, um, Natalie's play, so that's all this is about, and, I mean, around camp you've been amazing. In competitions, I mean, your performance is always, uh, top notch. So, please don't take this personally; this is strategy.	”
—Mick

“	This is totally strategic and not at all personal. Sorry.	”
—Liz

“	You're the weakest link when it comes to trust; that's why I gotta get rid of you. If the merge happens, I know you'll flip-flop.	”
—Russell H.

“	Liz, I'm voting for you because this was, uh, what the group decided. Played a great game.	”
—Natalie
