Voting Confessionals[]
Edited versions of Jonathan's and Candice's confessionals were aired.
Ozzy |
“ | (voting against Candice) Been wanting to vote for you for a long, long time. You just eat a lot, you betrayed us, and you don't deserve to win. So, see you later. | ” |
Sundra |
“ | (voting against Candice) Hey, Candice. This, of course, you know, has never been personal. It was all strategy. Um, I know you had to tell me a couple of lies as part of the strategy to try to get me over, and I really meant what I said today, in that I hope that our closeness was not just strategy and that we can still be friends after this because there's more than the game, and I really mean that, and I hope it's the same on your part, okay? | ” |
Jonathan |
“ | (voting against Candice) It was never personal. We always planned to go all the way together and I did plan on that, and then you jumped ship, the opportunity came around for me to go the other way. Mathematically, it made complete sense. And I'm not going to sacrifice myself for you. Tonight, you showed me your true colors. You never trusted Parvati or Nate. Sorry. I know I hurt your feelings. I never meant to. | ” |
Becky |
“ | (voting against Candice) Hmm, girl, you know it's nothing personal and that I love you. If only you hadn't jumped ship and changed sides. | ” |
Adam |
“ | (voting against Jonathan) I hope everyone else finally sees your true colors. | ” |
Candice |
“ | (voting against Jonathan) Jonathan, I suppose it's you tonight. You know what I think about you, I said it tonight. And uh, wow. Piece of work. | ” |
Parvati |
“ | (voting against Jonathan) Clearly, Jonathan, you're a big meanie and a bully, and I think everyone would be better off if you went home tonight. | ” |
Yul |
“ | (voting against Candice) Candice, I have a ton of respect for you as a competitor. I really wish you had never stepped off that mat, because if you hadn't, I just really believe we'd be working together right now on our way to the final four. It would've been an honor. But you did step off that mat and set in motion a sequence of events such that, tonight, I have to vote you off. I wish you the best. | ” |
Final Words[]
Candice |
“ | Wow, what can I say? What a fabulous time I've had out here playing this game. I think I can look myself in the mirror and be comfortable with the way I played this game, definitely. That little kiss with Adam, it was a nice way to leave. We were partners through this, and it was, uh…sincere. | ” |
