Voting Confessionals

Myles was shown writing down Kate's name. Jesse's confessional was shown during Max's final words. Full voting confessionals were posted on the Channel 10 website.^[2]

	Myles	“	(voting against Kate) I need a miracle from Mad Max. Unfortunately I think he's flipped on us.	”

	Laura	“	(voting against Myles) I'm so sorry buddy, but you're like a cat with nine lives in this game. I need to give up one ally to gain three new ones.	”

	Zara	“	(voting against Myles) I saved you once. I don't have the power to do it again tonight, but at least you've got your idol.	”

	Max	“	(voting against Myles) Finally, farewell jungle rat. (laughs)	”

	PD	“	(voting against Myles) Myles, just sticking to my part of the plan I committed to. Hopefully you play your idol tonight.	”

	Morgan	“	(voting against Max) I really hope this plan works.	”

	Kate	“	(voting against Max) I'm voting for Max. I love your cheekiness, but I've heard you've been too cheeky in the past and you can't be trusted.	”

	Ben	“	(voting against Max) Max, it's been great getting to know you. But, your chaotic gameplay and willingness to flip and your connections on the other tribe spell trouble for my game.	”

	Jesse	“	(voting against Max) You're a great person, but I gotta stick strong with my alliance.	”

Final Words

	Max	“	I just got blindsided. The chats that I had with Jesse felt really genuine. They definitely made a mistake voting me out today. I was ready to go into battle with that Brawns alliance. I've tried to squash the jungle rat over and over again and I've come to the conclusion that you actually can't get rid of him, but if he didn't find that idol today, I reckon I would still be here.	”
