From what I remember I heard your name from Lindsey first. Taylor had just been idoled out and so that round I really wanted badly to stick with the Rhodes people, particularly Ricard and Rachel (pseudo Rhodes)—I desperately wanted to make the Genie vote up to them—and I was even hoping I was somehow making friends with Lindsey in the process. I loved the idol play and told her so. So I asked her who she wanted to target, that I would target anyone, and eventually she suggested your name as the one person who was potentially targeting both of us. So I was like, sounds great, and I thought for sure Shirin would be on board—especially since Will had decided to focus all of his attention on Lindsey that round. But Shirin was not on board lol. She wanted to target Lindsey too and mostly due to an alliance I had formed with both Will and Shirin on OG maus, I ultimately flipped to voting with them.
At this point I definitely wish I hadn’t! Lol I don’t know now if the vote was ever truly directed at you Jay, or if it just seemed that way to me until I flip-flopped or what, but obviously if you or Wendell had gone that night instead of me I would have preferred it! No offense of course, you’re an awesome guy and had *Lindsey* actually gone that night instead of me you and I may have found ourselves working together shortly after, but it’s all good. And fwiw it was never like personal. Was just trying to do anything to stay alive at the time.
That doesn't make sense. Cause I know for sure, I didn't want Jay out at that time. To be frank, I was never targeting him but def was targeting you, lol. I wonder if we were just talking generally about the argument at TC the night before or something? I feel like that would make more sense. That doesn't align at all with my game plan at the time lol. Or maybe it was from Will and it carried over and my name was in the mix. All that stuff was also jumbled up around the Genie vote. Or maybe I just blacked out :oop:
I mean it *does* make sense to me that you may have fed me Jay’s name as a decoy especially if you admit to also targeting me the whole time during this round. Jay was coming to me at the same time telling me that you and Ricard were pushing for me—I just wanted to believe you and Ricard at the time and wanted to work with you both to target another Crete boy. So I really did think it would have been Jay going home if I could have gotten Shirin to go along with that plan. Perhaps that was not actually the case?? I just remember you and Ricard and even Erika saying that Jay was the vote until I couldn’t get Shirin to flip. And when I couldn’t get Shirin I think Erika flipped too. I assumed that’s when Ricard decided to use his idol on me. Was the truth that you both really were just targeting me the whole round?
From my standpoint, I was definitely not targeting you the whole round. I was really hoping that you, me, Shirin, Lindsey, Will, and Rachel could break up the Crete 4 - because we were setting ourselves up for failure otherwise.
I cannot underscore how quickly the idol play came together. I found the idol one or two days prior (and then lied to Lindsey about not finding it - sorry <3), knowing I would need to play it at the right time. When all the votes were falling on Lindsey, I felt like I was totally next - and my game would be better with her in it than me fighting on my own.
I told Lindsey and Rachel I had the idol maybe 4 minutes before TC began? And Lindsey and I made the snap decision to use it on you because we (at least I) felt the most betrayed by you. You can go back in my confessionals and see - I really wanted to get out Wendell because at that point I knew he was the guy to beat (and I thought it would open up Jacob, Jay, and Bret to play the game more if he was gone) - but it was SUCH a split-second decision, we just went with two votes on Tyler and one on Jay.
But targeting you the whole round? Definitely not.
