Final Words

	Carter	“	The realization that my Survivor experience is over is weighing heavily on me. It does hurt to know that that four would rather play with someone like Abi, who they feel like they can beat these next few days, as opposed to me. I can understand it, but it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt. They're playing with their heads, not their hearts, at this point.	”

Trivia

Life at Ponderosa

Carter is warmly welcomed at Ponderosa by the jury members. During his medical evaluation,, Carter learns he dropped from 165.9 lbs. to 147.8 lbs. After dinner, Jonathan takes on a tub of Selecta, a local ice cream brand, known for selling 4 flavors in one tub. The first two flavors are the common chocolate and strawberry, while the two others are locally popular flavors: ube or purple yam, and "keso" (cheese),

After a heavy breakfast of cereal, Carter joins Pete and Artis at the gym. Before lunch, the jurors hang out in the pool while Jeff and Jonathan prepare lunch. RC gets to know Carter a little more, as they had very little interaction during their time in the game together. Later, RC expresses her displeasure at Jeff's negative demeanor.

Carter predicts that Abi-Maria will be voted out next.
