Ep 1

“If people look at me and think I’m this dumb blonde, I will show them dumb blonde.” – Katinka

“I’ve studied this game, and every season I’ve watched has been me doing my homework, to finally come to this exam. This is the final exam.” – Tevin

“Survivor is going to be a walk in the park!” – Palesa

“I’m hoping in Survivor they underestimate me – that is key. They need to see short, chubby – they’ve gotta think they can beat me.” – Jeanne

“It’s nothing for me to be under pressure – I’ve been under it my whole life.” – Marthunis

“We need to sweep – that’s our [womens’] duty.” – Katinka

“I’m literally gonna come across as a man-hater in this show. Oh well.” – Jeanne

“Today I was handed my own butt on a platter - two women beat me at making fire. That is most definitely a humbling experience.” – Tom

Ep 2

“I believe that the Big Five is unbreakable.” – Tom [ahead of the deadlocked Tribal Council where Ace flipped, and Neil drew the wrong rock]

“We can change it up. Even if we can’t, it’s better to go in and die trying than just take it.” – Josie

“There are various types of blindsides – they come in different forms – and for me this was a blindside. Whether it works out for the team… I’m willing to take on the challenge. – Neil [on being elected the leader of Luzon at Tribal Council, about ten minutes before he picked that white rock]

Ep 3

“Not all snakes are legless. Not all sharks are in the sea. Sometimes the most dangerous creatures are the ones sitting right next to you.” – Tom

“Have you tried to work with girls? Girls can’t keep secrets. Girls can’t play together.” – Jeanne [to PK]

“I’m tired of lying – I don’t do lying in my life. And this entire game is about lying.” – Marthunis

Ep 4

“When I drop my buff, I drop my heart with the buff.” – Toni

“Outwit, outlast, outplay, and you get schneid by luck.” – Jeanne

“What better place to have an Immunity Idol than Tribal Council? Amazing!” – Palesa

“We have a bus, and on that bus Marthunis is strung on a rope, on a skateboard, at the back of the bus, just straddling along. And I’m about to cut that rope.” – Tevin

Ep 5

“If you die – no offence – but life carries on. I’ve got a wife and kid. I’m not saying you don’t have a life, but you are not leaving people behind that rely on you.” – Marthunis [to Katinka]

“He [Marthunis] like that question in an exam paper that no amount of studying would have helped you approach - that was never in the text book." – Tevin

“I made the analogy yesterday that I was living with my family, and I love my family, and now I’m forced to live with my in-laws who I actually can’t tolerate.” – Murishca

“Palesa – as much as what I disagree with you, that was s

“I will say ‘yes’ to anything you ask!” – Murishca to Nico

Ep 6

“If I’m busy losing a game and it’s that obvious that I’ll lose, I’d rather give up and start a new game.” - Marthunis

“Go do the woman's’ job – go get water.” – Marthunis

“So essentially what you’re saying to me is that this game is too tough for you. Grab your stuff and head on out. Leave the torch.” – Nico to Marthunis

"It’s ironic that in a game of deception, trust is your best friend." – Tevin

"Sometimes it's better to think of the 'we' game rather than the 'me' game." - Tevin

Ep 7

 “I won’t lie – I just wanted the pizza! No-one wants to eat beans when pizza is an option.” – Jeanne

“The best part of a blindside is not letting them see it come.” – Tevin [to PK]

“Tonight is simple: Josie will go home. If anything else happens… I don’t think anything else will happen, to be honest. So, I think Josie will go home.” – Tevin [with some famous last words!]

“These two people, I know I’ve a connection with from the very beginning of the game – there’s no chance in hell any of us are gonna flip today.” – Tevin [with more famous last words!]

“This is a game of deception where trust is your biggest ally.” – Tevin

“If you want to stay ahead in this game, you need to be able to make those big moves, and to know when to make them.” – Nico
