It's been an amazing experience, to say the least, and a series of ups and downs throughout the entire time. Amazing to have been voted out, given the opportunity to win a chance to come back in, get voted back in, and participate for a number of more weeks and a number of more spots, going out in the top five. Can't complain too much; however, it's not Top Two, which I was shooting for. But at this point in the game, I knew that if I didn't keep getting the Immunities, I was the first one to go.

So, I've got to say I'm disappointed beyond what words could explain. But in the same sense, I'll have to say that being a strategic player and knowing the threat that I posed to every individual in my tribe, I probably would have done what the majority ended up doing.
There's no doubt in my mind that any Challenge, physical or mental, when it came to individual Immunity, I would have won hands-down. No doubt in my mind. The tribe realized that, and they did what they had to do. I don't believe it's the right decision at this point in time, but if they didn't do it now, I would have had the cards in my hand to play all the way to the end of the game and make my way to the winner's circle, which I know I could have done.
I had an amazing time out here. I met some great people, albeit I'm not sure if I really know who they are. But it's been absolutely amazing. I've enjoyed every minute of it and loved everyone, and wish them the best. It's going to be a lot harder without me. Challenges are not going to be guaranteed as they were when I was involved. I'd say may the best or strongest or smartest person win, but that's impossible at this point. So good luck to those left, and I'll see you on the other side.

2nd Survivor Slip-Up While Burton and Jon were enjoying Burton's Reward in Panama City, Darrah, Lill and Sandra plotted against them back at camp. "If Burton wins Immunity, Jon's gone. If one of us wins Immunity, Burton's gone," Darrah remarked. Darrah won Immunity, and all three women voted Burton out.
Survivor Slip-Up: Burton's plan to throw the Immunity Challenge and get rid of a female tribemate may not have sat well with the other Drake members, had they known about it. Burton himself speculated that he was voted out because his tribemates perceived him as a threat.
