Randy |
“ | (voting against Crystal) Bitch! | ” |
Sugar |
“ | (voting against Charlie) Sorry, Charlie, but you picked two of the worst allies when I have to make a vote. I'm a traitor, sorry. | ” |
Matty |
“ | (voting against Charlie) Charlie, you're a hell of a guy, you played a very good game, but it's time for you to go. | ” |
Susie |
“ | (voting against Charlie) Charlie, you're a good competitor. I got to take you out if I'm going to move ahead. I hope we can still be friends. | ” |
Crystal |
“ | (voting against Charlie) You are a big threat, and you are hurting my alliance. I'm sorry, but you got to go. | ” |
Ken |
“ | (voting against Charlie) Sorry, Charlie. It's not like I'm a homophobic. It's just that at that feast, you took the Hidden Immunity Idol away from me and I thought I gotta get you for that. Sorry. | ” |
Bob |
“ | (voting against Crystal) Sorry Crystal, it's a game. Hope to see you later. | ” |
Corinne |
“ | (voting against Crystal) You're a bully, and I don't want to play this game with you. I hope you go home tonight. | ” |
Charlie |
“ | (voting against Crystal) Word on the street is that you are a really mean person, but that's side the point, you took out my Marcus and that made me really mad. Sorry. | ” |
Final Words[]
Charlie |
“ | Okay, this is a disaster. I hundred percent did not see this coming, but oh what can you do at this point. And I didn't think I'd make it past the first tribal. So to make it this far is amazing. If I'm gonna leave Survivor, I'm glad it's a blindside. Thank God, Marcus is in the jury house. That is my saving grace. I can't wait to see Marcus. | ” |
