Day 22

The day started with Sean Kenniff and the remaining ex-Pagongs expressing their disbelief about Gretchen Cordy's blindside ouster at the last Tribal Council.

" Today is, like, Day 22. We had a vote last night, which is always pretty beat. Always puts us in a pretty somber mood. But last night was a very strange vote. " – Sean Kenniff

" Last night, it looks like there was a conspiracy, and maybe I'm being paranoid and I didn't want to believe it, but four people from Tagi voted for Gretchen, I think. " – Jenna Lewis

" You know, the bloodbath has begun, you know. People have started taking it a different way, 'cause there's really no good reason other than strategy to vote Gretchen off. " – Sean Kenniff

" I really don't know what happened last night. At first sight, it looks like they just picked Gretchen off. " – Gervase Peterson

On the other hand, the Tagi Alliance did not have regrets about getting rid of Gretchen, since they saw her as a legitimate threat.

" It was my idea to get rid of Gretchen because I... I thought that she was going to be the next leader. " – Rudy Boesch

" She had to go because she... is bright and, uh, is strong and she was a threat. " – Richard Hatch

" This is a game; don't take it personally. You know, if people came here to make, you know, bosom buddies and, you know, lifelong friends, they should've gone to summer camp. " – Kelly Wiglesworth

While fishing, Jenna Lewis invited Kelly Wiglesworth and Susan Hawk to an all-female alliance to get rid of the seemingly lazy males, though the two were non-committal, since they felt secure with their pact with Richard Hatch and Rudy Boesch.

" I think, really, if it happens again, then you can say for sure there's an alliance, but if it does, I'm more determined than ever to bust that plan up and still kill them all and win, you know. As far as Pagong, we are now four. They are now five. They do have a voting bloc on us whether we see it or not and they can pick us off one by one. My best strategy is to bond with the women and try to hold on to the women's vote as long as I can. " – Jenna Lewis

" The women seem to be getting along well because the women are all workers. Actually, I like Jenna better than I thought I would. I thought she would drive me wild and she doesn't, so... " – Susan Hawk

" I do see the women versus men vote continuing on in Rattana. As far as my three votes, top-- they're all men. I see women go out, get the crab traps. The women fix the hut. We're carrying the weight of the team. Maybe that's unfair, but that's how I see it. " – Jenna Lewis

" As far as the women becoming an alliance, there's a chance that the girls might want to have an alliance after there's a few more guys knocked off. If they do, I'll just lead on with them like, "Yeah, that's a good idea." But as far as the women forming an alliance and making one, no. It ain't gonna happen. I already got mine. I like mine. " – Susan Hawk

Hunger pains struck hard on Colleen Haskell and Kelly, while Rudy and Sue squabbled over food rations. But not letting his tribe down, Richard returned with a net full of fish. However, Greg Buis felt threatened by him.

" We're all hungry and we're low on energy, and there's still no one else providing any food except for Rich. And we're having to ration the rice. " – Kelly Wiglesworth

" Having nine people, it's, uh... everything gets smaller again. The rice pot got smaller, the sleeping quarters got smaller. " – Rudy Boesch

" I wish some of the other people would start conserving a little more... people that are being pigs. I'll only eat one bowl at a sitting. I'm planning on staying until the end, so I really want to have something for the last couple of days. " – Susan Hawk

" We have our fisherman; it's Rich. That's Rich's job. " – Gervase Peterson

" Greg showing up, going out trying to spear a fish. They've got nothing. I'm not going to do any better than they will. And I
