Voting Confessionals

“	I think you're totally overrated.	”
–Ruby

“	I like how you continuously look up to me as being Wonder Woman.	”
–The Hurricane

“	I just think these challenges will get rigorous. I don't know really.	”
–Jon

Final Words

“	This has totally been an awful experience in terms of team effort. Like we say we can do this, we have the strong people to pull it off. It's just we can't get it together. I think this tribe will go down in flames somehow unless they get it together. Otherwise, it's a shame they got rid of me.	”
–Ruby
