LOL Elias.

Alex discussed the Aras vote with me. I also talked about it, discussing it with Jake and Emily (Jake moreso, to be honest). I messaged you that because you were the only one lying to me about the voting target, and because I wanted to make it seem like you're in control. By "we" had been trying to keep it lowkey, you surely mean "I" had been trying to keep it lowkey since it didn't work with the others. You're overstating your control big-time, and the Aras vote idea had already been thrown around by people and acknowledged by myself even before the message in a bottle twist.

Again, that might have helped you solve things with Alex. My decision to participate in the challenge was independent of anything you said or did (something which I explained in replies to other jury speeches), and I did it mainly due to the idol paranoia that a 4-person vote could cause. But my main point was that the unmerge saved you because two people you clearly didn't work with at all got taken out.
