During Tribal Council that night
Lolli frets and talks into the camera by the voting drum for a long time. I know she is right, and I am a part of the alliance, which I wasn't really sure of...until she started saying all of the nasty stuff...I just skimmed the page, but, don't remember seeing anything about the boys trying to tease her...I don't know...I'm really confused! I WISH I COULD VOTE FOR MYSELF!

"I can't do it! I really can't!! It is really hard! I REALLY don't want to hurt anybodies feelings!!! This is really hard! I'm ready to vote, and I DON'T like what I am going to do...but, Moon is being soooo very mean! I KNOW that there is an alliance! LOL! I know this is just a game! I vote for Moon...."

Then as she starts writing, Lollie stops herself and frowns into the camera. "I want to change my vote...if I can't vote for myself, I am going to vote for the person that is here about as much as me....Inita"

She pauses again to think about it one last time, okay...this is really hard, to be honest, I struggled with it all afternoon. I have been watching what everyone says, and I am sticking with the one that I chose last...Inita, she is around as much as me and probably does about as much as me... Lolli

Inita says to the camera by the voting table... "I choose MOON - please send her back to where ever it is she came from."

*

Meghan looks into the camera as she writes this morning I thought I would vote for Marissa to go but I have changed my vote since this morning: It is now -Aggie"

*

Marissa speaks a few words before she votes. "I'd like to vote for myself, because I've not been able to keep up, and haven't pulled my weight with the others. I don't know if this is allowed, but I feel the others don't deserve to go! You can't vote for yourself, though. I guess my vote will go to Inita then"

*

Trey is pretty firm as he looks right into the camera and writes with crisp clear letters as he speaks, saying, "My vote was made really easy this week - I vote for MOON"

*

Moon wipes a few tears away as she writes down a name. She looks into the camera and says, "I don't mind being voted for. Not everyone has to like me, but when people lie right to your face and do things they know will hurt you just to get a reaction, that is just mean and unnecessary. I think Pierre and Trey will just choose the people with any weakness and hurt them in big and little ways until they are the only ones left. They wanted me to react, and this is the strongest action I can take against them. I vote for Pierre because I think he is the ringleader and the others like Trey are just following him not knowing how devious he is. I vote for Pierre."

*

Aggie goes up to the voting table and with a shrug she writes a name. She says into the camera, "I feel so bad, but its a game only! I am going to vote for Moon."

*

Pierre keeps his comments short and to the point. "I vote for MOON."

*

FINAL VOTE:

As the last player votes they bring the barrel to Gia. She opens it and pulls out the papers.

"First vote, Moon"
"Second vote Aggie"
"Third Vote Moon"

Gia pauses until you are ready to scream with suspense. "4th vote Inita"

She pulls out another slip, "5th vote Pierre, that's 2 for Moon, 1 each for Aggie, Inita and Pierre."

"6th vote, Inita", that's 2 each for Inita and Moon, 1 each for Aggie and Pierre.

"Gia pulls out another paper, 7th vote, Moon, if the last vote is for Inita, we have a tie..."

Gia pulls out and reads the last vote, holding it to herself for several long moments.... "Last vote, Moon. Moon, the tribe has spoken, bring me your torch."

Moon walks over and holds her torch as Gia uses a rounded gourd to put out its flame... Moon must leave tribal council, and then the others make the long walk back to camp in the light of their tribal torches.

As Moon leaves the clearing she turns and salutes Pierre, then turns and walks out of tribal council.

MOONBEAM'S FINAL WORDS:
"I would never say this was an easy experience, and I think I could definitely look back and see where I chose the wrong thing to do, or chose the easier path than that of bonding with my tribemates, but is an experience I will never forget. I had hoped by keeping my distance that I would not feel hurt if someone had to vote for me, or trick me in some way, but by not joining the group and by keeping to myself, I made it easier for them to pick on me and make me react just the way they hoped I would do. I have learned a lot from these people and how they will stand up for each other. I can see some strong friendships forming and perhaps my choices are what kept me from being their friend. I wish all of Nicarong the best of luck in the rest of the game. I left some of the shells I was carving for them and I hope they find them."
