Hey Lori! Thanks!

Funny enough, I'd call voting you out my biggest move, because it's one of the few minutes where I feel comfortable take sole credit for making it happen. Luis probably wanted you gone on the revote too, but he wasn't in a position to persuade anyone else. I was never exactly clear who Anna wanted gone, but she seemed most comfortable allowing Hunter and I to bicker and make the decision for the group. And Hunter absolutely entered the revote preferring Forrest gone, so he was really my biggest obstacle to convince to vote you.

There are two main reasons I prefered you gone instead of Forrest: First, you were scheming against me. I don't know what your eventual plan was going to be, but thanks to Anna I knew you were on my heels. Meanwhile, Luis and Forrest were more concerned with targeting Anna and Hunter respectively. Eliminating you meant I had the smallest target by far, and the most working connections in the endgame.

Secondly, I wanted Luis to reach the Final 4, in case I chose to make a move with him, because that was the way I was leaning at the time. For Luis to reach the Final 4, he'd have to survive the Final 5, and I thought it'd be easier for him to survive the Final 5 is Forrest was the main target, since Forrest was a huge threat to win challenges.

I had to cash in on the trust I built with Hunter, and twist his arm some to get my way, but I got my way. He was desparate to keep our alliance with Anna in agreement always, so when I refused to budge, he ultimately changed his vote to you. I told him some lies and exaggerations to help persuade him, but he insists they weren't what changed his mind so I'm unsure what to believe because he said at the time he was voting for you because he trusted my judgement, not just because he wanted us to always vote together.
