(voting against Erin) This is probably one of the most difficult votes that I've ever had to do. You've been a great tribemate. You've been a great companion.
S5 erin t
Erin
(voting against Ken) I think you've roughed it enough. It seems like it's beginning to wear on you.

Final Words[]

S5 erin bw
Erin
I'm very happy the way that I played the game. My number one goal was to make it to the jury and I made it. I wasn't predicting to get voted off tonight, but that's how the game is. I came to Thailand with a small bag and myself and I'm leaving with more than I ever could have expected. I'm ready to sit back now and watch and see how the rest of the game is played because it's extremely unpredictable.
