Could you go more in depth about what you did each round and explain your decisions for each vote?

'''I went in depth for the 2 key vote outs for me which would be Brian and Nicole over in Ryan’s questions. '''

'''Elizabeth: I voted you out because like Brian, you were both seen as running both of the sides. I felt it would be easier for me to navigate being in the middle with both of you gone because I felt like both of you were the glue. This round was difficult because Emily struck out and Charlie flipped over to your side, especially after that intense immunity with the lil coin thingys whatever they were because Charlie was completely stuck in the middle as well and lied to y’all and stuff (at least that’s what he told me) so I know he felt obligated to not vote you that round. I had to pull Gevonte into our alliance (Brian, Louise, Malik, Nicole, myself) after Charlie told him about the alliance existing without him. It was a battle to make sure you were going to be out. I really didn’t know if Gevonte would want to be apart of that alliance after like… he wasn’t included in the first place just because I would’ve felt like I would be on the bottom of that so I assumed he would feel the same as well. Also, after our conversation about why Charlie and Ryan didn’t want me in an alliance because they were worried I would “flip” it solidified to me that I would never really be included in your side, which was another strong reason as to why I voted you out.'''

Brian: I went majorly in depth about this vote for Ryan’s question if you want to check that out.

'''Ryan: Once Brian left, I felt it was important for me to focus more on building stronger connections with the people in the game vs. pushing votes that would be most optimal for me because at this point I literally betrayed an entire side of people. Everyone had a target in mind, and I felt if I went with the flow of the game it would secure my position more and allow me to stay in the middle vs. picking a side. I did not have to push this vote out one bit because Malik/Gevonte had some issues with Ryan over some Mytikas 2.0 things that happened. The really difficult part about this vote was getting Ben and Jerry on board. I tried to not push this too hard with them because at the time I believe Gevonte and Malik were also trying to sway them as well. I was in our “J.C.B” alliance chat going over the pro’s and con’s for each person who was up to vote at the time. The main reason Ryan was voted out at this time was because he had the sway and the pull to get people to work with him. I also felt like he had strong game awareness and would figure out what I was doing eventually. I felt this would bring Charlie and Nicole closer to me as well.'''

'''Malik: This vote just sort of happened. I don’t believe I pushed anything but I understood why people in the game wanted Malik out. I think it's because people were worried about Gevonte/Malik being a tight duo which isn't something I could argue against because, well, it was obvious and true. I voted out Louise here just because I wanted to stay tight with Gevonte. I told everyone I wasn’t voting out Malik and they were fine with it, which I think should of set off alarms that something was up with me but no one said anything to me about it.'''

'''Ben: This vote was nerve wracking only because mostly everyone at this point was concerned with a Ben/Konrad/Charlie/Jerry sorta thing going on. Them having a 4 majority would completely ruin my whole middle situation so it was important that one of them went out this vote. I’m going to copy and paste a bit of my confessional for this because I think it’ll clarify more:

“if we vote out ben now it’ll be:'''

jerry/konrad/charlie | me | nicole/louise/gevonte

'''this sets me up with a potential f3 with nicole louise, i think myself and jerry would actually get stronger. i think konrad would vote with me. charlie i think would stay with me especially if he votes out ben with everyone.'''

'''if we vote out gevonte it’ll be: jerry/konrad/ben/charlie | me | nicole/louise'''

'''this sets me up with nicole/louise hating my guts, and the guys being able to flip them to vote me out if they want to. yeah tbh i don’t even want to go further with this bc i feel like it puts me in a terrible position'''

'''yay ok i think voting ben probs is the #move for me. thank u for letting me confess and figure out what makes sense.”'''

'''Jerry: This also ties in with my Nicole one over with Ryan's question. I’m not sure why Nicole voted Jerry other than the fact that’s the name we were telling her we were voting. I couldn't figure out how to get Jerry out as well so him being idoled out was very helpful.'''

Nicole: Went in detail in Ryan’s question.

'''Louise: Charlie/Gevonte both expressed wanting me in final 2 with them, and Louise pushed me to go which is why I voted her out. We didn't have a good relationship and just argued so this just made sense.'''

'''Charlie: I felt Charlie is way more articulate than me and would definitely out talk me in FTC. I feel me and him had a similar journey and moves would get confusing as to who was responsible for what, etc.'''
