Tribal Council #1I'm going to go ahead and knock this vote out so I can get on with the Christmas celebrating! To be frank, I don't think she deserves to stay here over many of us, including Cochran. He certainly slowed us down in the first part of the challenge, but she was just as bad in the second part. I think she could use the time at Redemption Island to decide for herself if she really wants to be in this game or not.

Tribal Council #2Well, I am casting this vote for Keith with great skepticism and anxiety. I think it is just as likely that I take the old walk of shame as Keith. I'm hoping that those who claim to have my back really do and that I live to see another day. I am definitely not ready to be done in this game yet but ultimately time will tell as this proves to be an incredibly interesting tribal council.

Tribal Council #3I despise that we're even here voting again. I'm really getting tired of having to come to these tribal councils. We have got to get this thing turned around. In the meantime, I am perfectly content with voting for Jim. Last round, he voted for me and encouraged others to do the same so as not to ruffle too many feathers or disrupt the peace. If he's not willing to fight to keep me around, I certainly have no desire to fight for him.

Tribal Council #6I've been waiting quite a while to do this. It gives me jitters a little bit to know that you could potentially be going home after the way you wronged me way back in the second round of this game. I have no respect for you or the way that you play the game. And I'm hoping that no one pulls any funny business so that your exit from the game is a smooth one. You deserve this.

Tribal Council #7I hope this is the nail in the coffin for you. What you are doing, while heroic, does nothing beneficial for me when you return to the game. If anything, you're making me and others look like the bad guys and jackasses just to give yourself a little bit of leverage with the Upolu tribe. I don't really have any respect for that, so I'm hoping that Redemption Island does you in. Time will tell.

Tribal Council #8This old man is getting weary. I can't stand playing this game with people who act like five-year-olds. Listening to Elyse, Edna, and Stacey bicker at this tribal council is about the most annoying and immature thing I've ever seen in my life. I don't mean to be negative, but there are too many idiots in this game. Either they need to go or I do. At this point, I'm ready for either.

Tribal Council #Who-KnowsOh, does it feel nice to be back placing tribal council votes! I've got to be honest, I have no idea what to expect here. I want to believe that Sophie is going to be the one going, because she seems to be extremely abrasive and a sure-fire win in the finals, but you never really know what's going to happen, especially this late in the game. Rick is the swing vote here, so I'm curious to see what he does. Either way, it's a great day to have immunity!

Final Te Tuna Tribal CouncilThis has literally been the most agonizing vote I can ever remember going through. I have been back and forth on this one so many times and have literally created images for both guys with plans to vote them out. I feel like I will immediately regret this. Cochran and I have been close since day one. I went from thinking he was going to be our tribe's dead weight to thinking he was the most impressive person in this game and someone I would never want to face in a duel on Redemption Island. The thoughts of voting him out have been agonizing for me. But on the same token, our communication since I returned to the game has been sparce and.... just not the same as it used to be. I want to believe that he truly has my back and isn't conspiring against me, but I really have no earthly idea what's going through his head right now. Both Brandon and Rick have claimed to me that they are voting for Cochran, and I would like to think that at least one of them is being honest about it. I almost dislike the way Cochran has done things, too. He has set himself up perfectly for this kind of scenario. Even in his tribal council answer, you can see how he's milking his innocence and playing up what a good all around person he is to take him to the finals. I wish he would be more forward about his true intentions and thoughts. I laid it all out on the line in my tribal council answer. Why can't he? This kills me because it seems like a real cowardly thing to do. You don't vote out someone that you used to be so close to just out of paranoia for an outcome. If I got beat by Brandon, I would be so ridiculously disappointed in myself and the game. Taking Brandon to the finals is a really weak thing to do - on both my part and Rick's. He doesn't deserve the finals. I would love to just eliminate that option from even occuring. I know he's going to be hurt by this. And that's what hurts me the most. I can deal with people telling me I made a bad decision and calling me out on it. I really struggle with disappointing Cochran. I keep justifying this move in my head by saying that Denise had to vote out Malcolm in the end, despite the fact that they were both close, particularly since day one. The exact same thing applies to Cochran and me. I respect him in so many ways and cherish the friendship that we have made. And I dread casting this vote like the plague. But sometimes the game of Survivor forces you to do things that aren't exactly what you wanted to do. And I certainly ache having to do this.... but I have to....
