After the break, Rob gathered the rest of the group up to confirm they are voting Andrea off.

Phillip saw them and got suspicious,so he talked with Rob about it,while Andrea tried to make a deal with the girls. Natalie appeared to stay loyal to Rob at this point.
Next, they headed to the tribal counsel meeting,talked game,and casts their votes. Rob played his hidden immunity idol,so any votes against him wouldn’t count. Rob ended up getting 1 vote,and Andrea got 3 votes,so Andrea got ousted from the game and onto the jury.

Then they showed the final tribal counsel footage where the final three gave their pitch to the jury,and also answered questions from them. Rob clearly gave the best speech.Natalie sounded immature,and Phillip sounded crazy as usual,and the jury’s reaction to Phillip really showed that.
Ashley was pretty upset at Rob for deceiving her,and thought Phillip was disgusting. Julie felt none of them deserved to be in the final,and that no one respected Phillip.
