Voting Confessionals

Parvati and part of Tony's confessionals were shown. Kass and the rest of Tony's confessionals were shown during Tony's last words.

	Tony	“	(voting against Cirie) I wanted to trust both of you, but I think you guys were trying to play me. You and Parvati both. I hope this is a Survivor first where an Immunity sock helps me out. If it doesn’t, I’m in trouble.	”

	Parvati	“	(voting against Tony) This one’s easy. Woof… when you’re backed into a corner, kitty’s got claws. Don’t come at me like that, Tony.	”

	Kass	“	(voting against Tony) Well tried, Tony, but I know you don’t have the idol, because I have it.	”

Final Words

	Tony	“	I’m still trying to wrap my head around what the hell just went on. 100%, they got into that box. I seen it all over their face, they got a lot of power written all over their face. This is one of the times I believe my instincts were right, that Parvati and Cirie turned on me, and that the four girls formed an alliance against the two boys. You can see the pattern going on here. They voted out Rob first, then they voted out the god, then they voted out the king, and then they voted out the… two-time champ, the two-timer, so there’s a pattern here going on: they want to get rid of all the threats, and if that’s the case, Parvati should be going next.	”
