LAST EDITED ON 10-16-09 AT 10:01 AM (EST)Thanks to James Barber at Survivor Sucks:
Tribal Council Voting
Find out what each member of Foa Foa had to say as they cast their votes
Mick (Ashley): Please don't take this too personally. We're down to 6 people, we had to choose somebody. I think this is the consensus. Around camp, if you had a little more motivation, sort of self-motivated. I think the agreement at this point is you may be one of the weaker links physically. That's what this is based on, and nothing else. This is tough. Sorry to see you go. We'll talk soon.
Natalie (Ashley): Ashley, I'm voting for you because this is what my core alliance vote with. This is the hardest vote I think I'll make in the entire game. I'm sorry. Love you girl. You're awesome.
Jaison (Ashley): <says nothing>
Liz ("Ashlie"): Sorry, but everyone wants to put you out of your misery.
Russell (Ashley): You're lazy, you can't think for yourself, you can't do for yourself, and that's why you gotta go home. It's because of me you're going home. I'm out here playing for one million dollars. Never trust me.
Ashley (Liz): I trust you the least out of everyone.
Secret Scene: Ashley
Ashley tries to prove her worth to her tribemates, who see her as 'the typical dumb blonde'
(Day 13)
Ashley (to Shambo): We were just talking about what if we don't win. I was like, "Is my head on the chopping block?" and Russell's like, "Well, obviously it has to be one of you girls." That upset me a little bit.
Shambo: What are you talking about? Have you always been so weak, in your mind? (taps at Ashley's temple) Change your attitude. Come in over the top. Push people around. Take what you want. Not in Survivor but in life.
Ashley: Oh yeah.
Ashley (solo): I think people's first impression of me is that, "She's a typical dumb blonde." Through this experience I've learned how strong I actually am. I have this sense of independence now. (shot of her helping Liz fill a canteen, as Mick looks impressed) I can trust myself to take care of myself. I didn't have that before. (Ashley uses the machete to slice a piece of fruit which is being held by a nervous Russell) I think that I've grown up a lot. I've learned so much about myself. I'm a completely different person, and I feel like I'm a better person because of it. My parents are gonna see the difference right away when I see them. It's gonna be awesome to show people how strong I actually am.
Ashley's Final Words
Ashley reacts to having just been voted out of the game
"That was the hardest thing I've ever done in my entire life, but it was the best experience. I've made lifelong friends. I'm very excited about that. I don't know, this was the best experience of my entire life, and I'll never forget it."
(cut)
"I wish my tribe would beat Galu and take some wins, and hopefully one of them can win a million dollars."
(cut)
"I've learned so much about myself. Honestly I'm such a high-maintenance girl at home, I never thought I'd go through the things I've gone through here. The last couple of days have been the hardest days I've ever experienced in my entire life. I'm so proud of myself."
Ashley the Day After
Ashley reflects on her time in the game and what she got out of it
"My strategy was to make a really strong alliance, and it didn't work."
(cut)
"I definitely appreciate everything. Even the small stuff like brushing your teeth. It's so weird. It's a very weird feeling when you leave the game, because you're deprived of everything. You have nothing out there except for the clothes on your back. It's the little stupid stuff you're gonna appreciate when you leave the game."

"On our island it was the best experience but it was so difficult. I left at a point in the game where we had rain for 4 days straight. I've never experienced something like that. We didn't know when it was going to stop. We were all freezing. Even on the days when it wasn't raining it was hard. You've living off of hardly any food, hardly any water. You go back to what people had to go through before any of this. It was very surreal but it was a great experience."
(cut)
"My worst moment by far was the last day I was in the game. It was very hard on me. I had a feeling. I couldn't scramble because we were stuck in the shelter. I couldn't do anything to save myself, and that sucks. I couldn't change anyone's mind as we're all sitting there, and that was definitely the hardest day for me, and worst day for me."
(cut)
"I came out here 22, and I definitely say I'm now around the 25 mentality. Somewhere around there. I don't know how you feel at 25, but I definitely feel like I've grown up a lot."
