"You know, I tried my best, but what are you gonna do when the tribe's already decided to make up their mind? I know I'm not the weakest one out here, and I know I shouldn't have gone before Richard. I really think that Gretchen made a huge mistake when she decided to keep him. (pause) I really wish I hadn't have been the first one voted out, if for no reason that I just don't think the tribe got a chance to see what I was really capable of. But I gave it my best shot. And it had to be somebody. I guess deep down, I just wish that somebody hadn't been me."

"(laughing) Well, I really didn't expect my speech to work out that well. I was as shocked as anybdoy that Richard actually got three votes. (laughing again) But I don't know what else I could have done. I tried my best tonight. I went in there figuring I had nothing to lose, so why not take a chance? I still think those guys are morons for wanting to get rid of me. But hey, it's not my tribe. Never was in the first place. So now they can go lose all the challenges, and keep going to Tribal Council, and sleep happily in the knowledge that I didn't win, because they just didn't let me. Because honestly, that's probably the reason I'm sitting here talking to you."
Susan Hawk, Ahi (received 5 votes in the revote on Day 9) - 5 votes for Sue,
1 vote for Lex (4-4 in the first vote)
"Well, here I am. I bet you're all expecting some big speech about how I hate Lex and whoever switched their vote, but I aint gonna go into that. It was fun while it lasted. I'm proud of everything I done out here, and I'm honored that Mark asked me to come back and play again in Hawaii. This game is a blast, and I hope I get to do it again. The only thing I'm sorry about is that I didn't get to stick it to Richard (she starts to laugh) but I'm sure someone will. Aint no way he'll win this thing. So that's it for me, see you around. See you real soon, Rich."

for Kathy
"Well, we all knew it would happen sooner or later. Ol' Richie got the boot. Yeah yeah, I know, yay for the good guys. Go team! (he laughs) All-Stars was fun while it lasted, but we all knew I was a goner from the start. They were never going to let me win. But I don't care. After all, they all got their big moment. They got to vote the big man off. Good for them. Glad I could help. I'm sure now they'll be talking about it for days. (he pauses for a long time, while he tries to think of something more profound to say. But he can't come up with much. This is an awkward way to be talking.) You know, I know I should say I have no regrets, but I sure as hell regret not having another million in my pocket. Maybe next time! (he laughs, then stands up and leaves)."
Lex van den Berghe, Ahi (received 4 votes on Day 15) - 4 votes for Lex, 3 votes
for Rob
Well, I suppose the lesson to be learned here is 'Don't be the leader of the Ahi Tribe.' (he chuckles to himself) To be honest, I suppose it was really just a matter of time. Those guys-- Rob, Vecepia, Sue, hell, maybe even John-- had it in for me since the start. And I don't know why. All I do know is that I feel like I've been in a bunker for the past two weeks. I feel like I've been in a war. Because if it wasn't Sue, it was Rob. If it wasn't Rob, it was John. It was open season on me since the start, and I'll never know why. (he lets out one big long, mournful sign) Am I angry that I was betrayed? Of course. It's something you'll never forget. But I have to say that life will probably be a whole lot stressful now that I'm out of the game. So maybe that's good. Who knows? (he shrugs.) It's not always fun."

"I don't hold hold any hard feeling for those guys back there. That's a pretty special group of people, and I probably would have voted for me too. (he laughs). You know, even though I had to take the fall tonight, you have to have a little bit of respect for them wanting to protect Mike. I can't say it was my favorite decision in the world, but I understand why they did it. Well... at least... I hope I understand why they did it. Who knows? Maybe Gretchen just thought I was a big ol' pain in the butt and she wanted me gone. (he laughs again, with that big toothy Texas smile.) In any case, I'm sorry I won't be around to see the big Keko comeback, and I'm sorry I had to leave the game before the merge. But it's awfully hard to feel bad for myself when I got further than Rich. Even if I were to die tomorrow, I could say I beat Hatch."

"This has been an incredible, beautiful experience, and I would like to thank everyone involved for letting me do it again. I've said before that life is just an amazing little blend of experiences, and this was one of the best. Of course, I wish it would have turned out a little better, but I'm not gonna hold any grudges. I have no reason to. Everything in your life happens for a reason. No, I didn't win Survivor, but maybe I wasn't supposed to. Maybe that wasn't God's plan. All I know is that I'm gonna miss this island so much, just like I'll miss my wonderful tribe. I hope one of you wins."

"Tonight's vote was a bit of surprise. I can't say that I saw it coming, but if I go back and look back at the past few days, the warning signs were there. The problem is that Tina and I just didn't react. And even though Tina will probably kick herself for not jumping ship when we had a chance, in the end I will take full responsibility for our mistake. It was my choice to stick with Ahi, and it was my decision that probably cost us the game. So Tina, whenever you watch this, I just want you to know I don't hold you responsible. It was my decision. And this was what happened. I just hope you're not next. That's all I wanted to say."

"Well, well, well. (He claps his hands together, and has a great big grin on his face) Hello there. Nice to see you again so soon. (He laughs) I'm not really all that surprised to be sitting here right now. I know you're not gonna believe that, but in truth I felt this was probably comin' a long time ago. There were just too many variables I was never able to control. As hard as I tried to keep us together, there were always two people tryin' to tear us apart. So what can you do? (He shrugs) In any case, I'd love to sit here and talk to you for a while, but if you'll excuse me, I think I got a pizza and a beer waitin' for me somewhere. I don't mean to be rude, but I'm starvin'. And I want to eat. (He laughs again) By the way, if I could say one thing to the players left in the game, it would be to start stepping it up. Start stepping it up hard. Because I've been watchin' you. I've been watchin' all of you. And I don't think any of you deserve this. You can call me a sore loser for sayin' that, you can call me whatever you want, but remember, this time I've got a vote. And the seven of you better start gettin' hardcore in a hurry if you want to impress me."

"I knew something was up yesterday afternoon when Tina started getting really quiet about the vote. I knew it, but for some reason I convinced myself that I was just being paranoid and that everything was going to be okay. Maybe I should learn to listen to myself more often. (she grimaces slightly) In any case, here I am. I didn't expect it to be me tonight, but at the same time if it wasn't me tonight, it would have been me next, so what can you do? Sooner or later you just have to accept reality. Apparently an Ahi is going to win this game. It turns out that "Keko" is an old Hawaiian word that means "Don't unpack." HAW HAW HAW HAW HAW. Yeah, if they had told us that back on day one, maybe it would have saved us some time."

"Ugh, I hate this game!! [She's still crying, but it's also somewhat mixed in with laughing. She doesn't really seem sure of how she wants to feel.] Well, this isn't exactly where I wanted to end up, but what are you gonna do, you know? I had a lot of fun, and I tried to get out of a little bit of a pickle today [she laughs to herself, almost embarrassed], but the main thing I learned is that what Survivor is really about is mainly just messing with your head. You think you don't have a chance, then you start to realize that you actually DO have a chance, and that's the time when it all comes crashing down. That's when Lucy yanks the football away. So... well... yeah. [she looks around, awkwardly. She's not sure how she is supposed to end this. It's weird sitting here talking to a camera.] Well I suppose that's it from me, I guess. I'm sure you'll see me around again. [she pauses] Not on THIS show, of course, but hey, you never know. Maybe I'll win the lottery or something. Then you'll pretty much have to watch me on TV. I don't know. I don't care. I think all I really want right now is a shower."

"Ohhh, I hate losing. [She grimaces] Well, I guess I've done all I could really do out here. I actually think I played the game better this time around, but when you have so much to overcome as a former winner, my gosh, it's all you can do to keep from going crazy half of the time. At least we had food this time around, so at the very least I have to thank you all for that. [she laughs] Of course, I'd like to give all my best to the final four. We might not have always gotten along during the game, but they're a tough group of players and I look forward to seeing how this is going to play out in the end. Even though it kills me to say that I won't be winning, at the very least hopefully someone deserving will win in the end. I look forward to seeing who that is going to be. And I thank you all for the opportunity for being able to play against you."

"You know, I could sit here and trash John and Gretchen for what they just did to me, but I'm not going
to do it this time. Because they know they screwed up. And they know what is going to be waiting for them. So I
don't have to sit here and be a poor sport about it. I had a hell of a time out here. A hell of a time.
It was awesome. This is the greatest game in the world, and I'm honored that they asked me to be a part of it again.
In fact, just being invited to All-Stars was as exciting as actually winning. [she pauses] Do I wish I had won?
Of course. I played my ass off, and I kept my head on straight the entire way. I never took my eyes off the prize.
But if I had to lose? Well... [another pause, then a shrug] I suppose if I did have to go out, this is the
way I would have wanted it. Because at least this way, you know they are going to remember you. [she smiles] Be
warned, final two. I'm going to be come after you. And you know that too. Hope you're ready for this."

"I'm a little disappointed, of course, but I can't say I didn't expect this tonight. Nor am I really that sad to go. I mean, I wish I would have won... [she grimaces, laughing]... and I was so close!... but at the same time, this really isn't a healthy game. To get to the end, you have to do things you don't want to. And I sort of feel guilty about that. I sort of feel like Colleen, who used to always tell me, "I'm embarrassed that I am good at this game, Gretchen! It's horrible!" [she laughs] The only regret I have is that I got wrapped up enough in this game to the point where I started to obsess over it. I think that was a little bit dicey for me. But as for the experience itself, no I have no regrets at all. I enjoyed every minute of it. No matter who wins this game tomorrow, I feel that they will deserve it. The Ahis just played a little bit better than we did. What else could we do? All I care about is that I went out with my head held high, and I think I accomplished that."
