In a tiebreaker, Hawk and Hatch were disallowed to vote.{{cite news |first=Joel |last=Reese |date=August 24, 2000 |title=How Richard did it |newspaper=Daily Herald |location=Arlington Heights, Illinois |page=1 |id={{Gale|A64695203}} }} Boesch and Wiglesworth voted Hawk out, making her overall the thirteenth player voted off and then the sixth jury member of the final Tribal Council, placing fourth.
