Marcus
(voting against Ken) Ken, I'll let your frustration taking it out on me at Tribal Council go by the wayside. I'll see you on the other side. Sorry buddy, it's just time.
S17 ken t
Ken
(voting against Marcus) Marcus, you always told me that you liked comics where the little guy takes on the bad guy, or the bully. Well, hopefully that happens tonight.
S17 bob t
Bob
(voting against Ken) Sorry Ken. However, spilling your guts tonight makes it a little bit easier.
S17 susie t
Susie
(voting against Marcus) Marcus, I have a lot of respect for you, but Crystal and Kenny told me that you had it where you were gonna vote me out anyway. I wish you the best of luck, you're a good kid.
S17 crystal t
Crystal
(voting against Marcus) You are not the Kota god. Go home. Goodbye.

Final Words[]

S17 marcus bw
Marcus
I see the future of Kota: Part III as being probably a very sneaky one. I mean, talk about corporate espionage. I feel bad for Bob. I don't see him necessarily surviving the next few days. You know, obviously the people that wrote my name down get to see me in the future. And, you know, I forgive. But I don't forget.

Trivia[]

Behind The Scenes[]

Life at Ponderosa[]

  • After his elimination, Marcus is temporarily sent to base camp to have his medical examination, where he finds out he lost 15 lbs. after 24 days. He sleeps in one of the air-conditioned collapsible cabins before heading to Ponderosa the next morning. The next day, Marcus goes to the nearby lighthouse, where he retrieved the Ponderosa flag and hung it on the lighthouse's baluster.
  • In a voice over, Jeff Probst revealed that since there are no roads leading to Ponderosa, eliminated contestants would be sequestered overnight at base camp, before they airlift them to Ponderosa the next morning. Before Tribal Council, jury members would be airlifted back to base camp, where they will be transported to the Tribal Council set.[2][3]

Other[]

  • This is the second time in Survivor history that the final ten contestants are thought to be merged, but actually switched tribes, the first time being "Mad Scramble and Broken Hearts".
  • This episode marks the first time there has been a second tribe switch in a season.
    • This episode marks the only time that a season has two tribe switches with only two pre-merge tribes.
  • This episode marks the first and only time Marcus has not been immune from the vote.
