He said after his exit: 'My message to the Vavau team - my loyalty, just because I was voted out, won't stray. I'm Vavau, through and through. I wouldn't change anything.
'I think I stayed true and loyal to the way that I wanted to play the game, and true and loyal to myself. I think the team's voted well. Any team, you've got to let the weakest link go and I was the weakest link in today's challenge.'
