Neleh Dennis, Tuktu (received 4 votes on Day 3)

"This vote certainly was a surprise, but I hope you know I don't hold anything against you guys. Tuktu was a great tribe, and I wouldn't have changed this experience for the world. Mark my words, a Tuktu Girl will be a million dollars richer before this thing is out. I hope I didn't let down anyone at home, mom, and I'll be back soon. Take care, all of you, and all my love to Pappy. If someone from Tuktu doesn't win, I hope it's him."


Rudy Boesch, Amarok (received 7 votes on Day 6)

"I got nothin' to say." (Rudy declined to speak further)


Kelly Goldsmith, Tuktu (received 6 votes on Day 9)

"Well, well, look who's back on the walk of shame. I can't say I expected this so soon, but what can you do? Sometimes things just fall apart. So I bid you all a fond farewell. This game was a blast, as always. Please ask me to play again soon. Jerri, I love you like a sister, but you beat me this time. It won't happen again. I'm off to sit in the old loser's lodge now, so goodbye to all of you. Oh, and... [she leans close to the camera to whisper, as if sharing a secret] Please vote off someone more interesting than Rudy soon, he's gonna be a drag to hang around with. Thanks a bunch." [She grins.]


Jeff Varner, Amarok (received 5 votes on Day 12)

"First off, I tip my hat to you, Brian, 'cause you got me. Secondly, Tammy you have my blessing to personally kick the shit out everyone left on Amarok. Stay low, stay strong. You can do it. But I don't have any hard feelings towards anyone. It's just a game. Brian, I hope you and I can hook up after this, have a beer, 'cause we sure as hell weren't going to during the game. To the rest of you, best of luck. Second time out, still haven't made the damn jury. Maybe the third time will be my charm."


Jerri Manthey, Tuktu (received 5 votes on Day 15)

"Hey there, it's me again. First off, I just wanted to say that I hope we can all be friends after this. I didn't mean for it to get so heated back there, but I hope they can understand I didn't have a choice. I hope we can all just laugh about this some day. After all, it's just a game. So, America, you'll finally be rid of me once and for all, hope you enjoyed my stay. And if you're gonna write nasty stuff about me, at least just spell my name right, okay? I mean, it's the least you could do."


Brian Heidik, Tuktu (received 4 votes on Day 18)

"This was really no surprise. I mean, look at the cards that were stacked against me, and you do the math. H, you should be very proud of all you have done, it's good to know you don't hold a grudge. [He chuckles.] But it's been fun, again. I'd like to say I have another million dollars, but that will come in time. It's time for someone else to step to the plate. So, baby, I'm coming home. Pack up the bags, let's go to Fiji again."


Clay Jordan, Qinaliut (received 8 votes on Day 21)

"I feel like I've been blessed in life to have a chance to do this again. First off, I made the merge, which was my only real goal this time around. Secondly, I beat Brian, which is something I just needed to do. And third, I never got the squirts so bad as ol' Tom, which is a goal in and of itself. So that's it for this old timer, but you won't see the end of me. I'll be back real soon. It has been one hell of a ride."


Silas Gaither, Qinaliut (received 6 votes on Day 24)

"Well, I can't say that was what I hoped for, but you can only rely on the word of others for so long in this game. I mean, it's just the way the game is played, sometimes you're the player, and sometimes you're the one who gets played. And believe me, I just got schooled. [laughs] Well, I suppose it's always a good lesson in humility, to have the tables turned against you. Maybe it's what I needed. But it looks like the whels are in motion now and aint nothing going to stop Tuktu, I don't see how I could have done anything different. So thanks to everyone for letting me play again, I'd be back here in a second if you asked a third time. Keep me in mind, guys, my time is coming. It's definitely coming."


Elisabeth Filarski, Qinaliut (received 5 votes on the revote on day 27)

"To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure what just happened back there. I think Helen was probably responsible for this, and for whatever reason, Greg and Kelly went to follow along. Some day, maybe you can all explain this to me, but it's really not that big a deal in the long run. I mean, I got to camp out here in the forest for four weeks, I got to have the camp experience of a lifetime, and I made some great friends. I will never forget you guys for as long as I live, you were truly my family out here. So I'm going home now. Gina, Paschal, please make sure one of you takes this thing home, okay? Do it for me [smiles]. I don't want to see you guys at the lodge anytime soon!"
