During Tribal Council that night

*

Aggie says "My vote is for Inita. I didn't think that was my vote, I was still deciding but now my mind is made up." She writes the name down and places her vote in the drum.

*

Pierre writes as he looks at the camera, saying "I vote that Meggie be removed from the island."

*

Inita looks perturbed as she writes out the name "Meggie" and says "My vote for tonight is Meggie."

*

Meghan looks sad and disheartened as she says "I vote for Inita." and writes out her vote.

*

Trey stands before the voting drum saying "OK I hate voting! I have to go with Inita. Sorry Inita!" He writes I-N-I-T-A and the word "sorry" in little letters.

*

Lollie steps up to the voting table and steels herself for the wave of anxiety and indecision that seems to hit her each time.

She says to the camera and begins to think aloud. "Okay...I have made my decision...and...it may be the wrong one...but...the way I see it...right now, we are a team...and the ones that are there to help out the most are the ones that need to stay...mostly because they are the ones that are actually the "tribe"! the backbone of our camp....the reason we "eat"...soooo....that rules Trey, Meggie and Pierre out! They are there EVERY DAY! Aggie is there most every day and I have "been there" (with your help) all but 2 days...the only days that Inita was there were the days that we had challenges...I know that she does great on the challenges...but...we are a TRIBE right now! Not single players on our own...we need to work together...in all honesty...I don't really think that I have any right to vote anybody off at this time! I wasn't the one that was actualy there!"

"This is hard!"

"Okay...for the same reason as every other time that I have voted for her...I am voting Inita off...because the only time she seems interested in the game is when we have challenges...I am the last one who has any right to say ANYTHING about not being there! But...I feel that I have tried to remedy that by asking for help...and understanding! Sooo....I am getting WAY to upset about this!!! Okay...relax...it is a game....I bet I am the only one that has to discuss there reasoning with you!! Okay...to make your life easier! I am going to stop it!"

"I vote that Inita is the one that leaves." She quickly makes her ballot and slips it into the drum before she can change her mind.

*

FINAL VOTE:

Gia gets the drum and begins to read the votes.

"First vote, Meghan"
"Second vote, Inita"
"Third vote, Meggie"
"Fourth vote, Inita" (with the word "sorry" in tiny letters underneath)

Gia pauses for the obligatory suspenseful moment....

"Fifth vote, Inita. we could have a tie folks..."

She lifts out and reads the final vote, turning it around for all to read. Through the flickering light of the campfire you can clearly see the name "Inita"

Gia sadly says "Inita, the tribe has spoken, please bring me your torch." She douses the flame and takes the torch as Inita leaves the clearing.

INITA'S FINAL WORDS:
"I am glad to be going home back to Australia now. I'm sorry I didn't make it to the tribal merge, but it is for the best. Meggie and I kept fighting over the silliest things. I know that I was just getting hyped about the game and took it out on her. I shouldn't have done that. I shouldn't have done a lot of things that I did.

Regrets? - lots! I acted like a spoiled child and targeted Meggie. I wish I could go back and undo the mean things I did and said to her. I'm sure they are glad to be rid of me now - the tribe is better off without me causing problems and hurt feelings. Americans are a lot different that I thought they were going to be. Good luck Nicarong!"
