Voting Confessionals

“	(voting for Brandon) Brandon, unfortunately, this is a numbers game, but you're a hell of a dude, and I'm glad I got the pleasure to meet you. Good luck.	”
—Judd

“	(voting for Brandon) You're a tough competitor, and I'm very proud of the way you played this game. Good luck to you. You're a great person.	”
—Lydia

“	(voting for Brandon) I have the utmost respect for you. We bled together, and we fought together. You're going out as a threat. I hope that means a lot to you, 'cause you're not sticking around because you're weak and people are keeping you along. I'm sorry you had to go; maybe if we had met and been on other teams together, we could've allied. You're a good man. I hope you do well in life.	”
—Jamie

“	(voting for Brandon) Brandon, I respect you so much. You're a great guy. You're a threat, though, and you don't play into my strategy, so you need to go so I can get further in this game. Good job out there.	”
—Stephenie

“	(voting for Jamie) Jamie, I really do think you're a good guy down deep; my heart just says I have to vote for you tonight. I can't vote for anybody else. I'll help you any way I can in the future. Take care.	”
—Gary

“	(voting for Brandon) This isn't a game of absolute right and absolute wrong. For me, tonight, this is the right decision.	”
—Rafe

“	(voting for Jamie) Jamie, too many times you've showed disrespect, and I don't think you're as deserving to be here, but I do respect you, man.	”
—Brandon

“	(voting for Brandon) I think you said it best when you said you hadn't changed much in this game; probably, because you don't need to. You're a great guy the way you are, and I hope you have a really great future. Nice to get to know you.	”
—Cindy

“	(voting for Jamie) You talk about having Southern pride. Well, part of having Southern pride is being a Southern gentleman. And, no, you don't have any class at all.	”
—Bobby Jon

“	(voting for Jamie) Jamie, you're such a little peckerwood. It should be you going home tonight, not Brandon.	”
—Danni

Final Words

“	I played the game I came out here to play. I think I played a pretty good game. A pretty straight-up game. I wasn't always all about the money. I was playing the game for myself. You can take me out of this game before you can take my pride. I think I did a pretty good job of that. I can walk away from this and take something good with me.	”
—Brandon Bellinger
