Voting Confessionals

Dino's vote was not shown during his confessional. Phil's vote was shown during Shona's final words.

	Dino	“	(voting against Danté) Stick to this plan, stick to the plan, stick to the plan.	”

	Dante	“	(voting against Dino) Although I'm writing your name down, I'm not really coming for you tonight, uh, but I will come for you next time. Uh, for Shona, I'm going to sit in bed tonight and have rice, and then tomorrow, I'm gonna burn wood the whole day.	”

	Phil	“	(voting against Shona) I don't know if this is right or wrong, but something feels off tonight, and I'd rather it be you than me.	”

Final Words

	Shona	“	My main objective from coming back other than to win was to have a great time and I really have. I actually don't know who it was that switched on me, if it was Dino or if it was Phil, but one of them did not have my back tonight. I have no regrets other than not listening to myself in the final moments.	”
