|
“ | (voting against Gabo) Because since Cycle 2 he hasn't improved, he keeps disrespecting me all the time, and I had the confidence to tell him about the idol, and I found out that he said this to the one person who couldn't know I had the idol. | ” |

“ | (voting against Gabo) I've been thinking about a plan now that I've been in Exile, and this would be the first step to follow, so it's all part of a plan, and it's all part of a future project. | ” |
