Gia lets each player settle in the circle around the fire, then she speaks. She asks each player to answer the same question: "There has been some friction and friendship along the way, but this is the stronger tribe at this point. One of you is going to leave Friday and I would like to hear from each of you what one thing or skill you would bring to the third and final tribe to help everyone here stay in the game until the end."
Meghan says "I bring compassion and love with friendship to the tribe and want to work for a common goal."
	Inita answers Gia's question, saying "To survive in this game you've got to have grit and guts. I have both. That and a realistic understanding of how the game really works will ensure my survival. Those who are strong enough mentally and physically will be right there along side me. But this group is only as strong as its weakest member. Weakness comes in many different forms - not participating in challenges, being pushy, being judgmental, etc. Our group survival depends on eliminating the weakest member now."
Pierre most emphatically says "I am a team Player! I will do what it takes for this team to succeed!"
	Aggie smiles at Pierre's answer and the determination noticed as he spoke. Aggie says "I will do my best at getting food for the Nicarong tribe (we are and always will be the Nicarongs). I'll also do my best at winning immunitys so we can do away with the Oconos first."
Trey says "speaking as the laid back, California surfer dude that I am, I am not the strongest, smartest, or fastest person here. I guess what I have to offer is consistency. I can't be here all day, but I try to be around to help at breakfast, again at dinner and for all the challenges."
Trey continues, "I don't like to argue, I love being here in this beautiful place with great water and a really kool jungle to go exploring in. I love being around my new family here and getting goofy after we have had a really hard challenge. I am someone who will listen if you need someone to talk to. I would like to win my mom & dad a new house and car and all that kool stuff, but as my mom told me before I left home 'I am here to discover new things I can do and meet new people and have kool experiences', if I happen to go home with it all, great, but she will love me no matter what. I am going to make the best of my time here, and hopefully help the rest of the tribe enjoy their adventure. Remember, life is a journey, not a destination."
	Finally Lollie says "I don't really know what I do that is special...I am a peace maker and I try to help everybody...I'm not good at hunting and fishing and trapping like some of the others...but, I'm a good cook...I do better with fish, hot dogs and hamburgers and foil packs...not lobster and crab and the like! I can't always be here to help and I am sorry for that...I did help to get the second shelter built and I do help with the traps whenever I can...I try to make sure that we have water and I try VERY hard to make sure that nobody gets their feelings hurt...and if they do...I try to help them feel better...I guess that is the only thing I am really good at!"
Gia smiles, saying "very good skills indeed. Thank you. Now it's time to vote." One by one each child walks up to the drum, writes a name and puts it inside. Some take longer to write, agonizing over their decision, but ultimately, there can be only one...
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. Everyone returns to camp, saddened and tired.
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!"
