Hey Jordan!

So first off I wanted to apologize to you. I agree, I should’ve probably given you some sort of warning and I think I might’ve had I actually been on before the vote. I’ll be honest, I was still a tad concerned about an idol play, so that was part of the reason why I didn’t tell you. On the other hand, I probably should’ve trusted you enough to the point where I should’ve believed that you would tell me if you found the idol. Not telling you about the vote was bad on my part, and for that I sincerely apologize.

Second, I agree that you were the person who saw my gameplay in the best limelight, and my relationship with you is one of the highlights of my game in my opinion. So I guess I can take you through each vote if you’d like, that seems to be what you’re asking, and tell you why it benefited me.

Hope: This vote kept you in the game, and the two of us had cultivated a very strong relationship. It also didn’t alienate Trey and Jerry, who were potential allies for me down the road, and it left me in a swing position for the pre-swap portion of the game. It basically guaranteed that I would make the swap, and left the rest of the tribe in a position where they needed me to survive.

Ant: I voted Ant because I didn’t have the connection that I did with Juliette, Aaron, and Jason. Ant was a very nice and trustworthy individual and I definitely think it would’ve benefited all three of my other tribemates to keep him in the game, but for my game, it made the most sense to vote him off. I wanted to again put myself in a swing position between Juliette and Aaron/Jason, and I wanted to keep power in case fellow Lontano Izzy tried to link up with Ant when she came from Exile.

Izzy: Izzy was simply too honest. It didn’t make much sense for me to keep her in because I couldn’t trust her as an ally down the line. If I kept her in, she could easily leak information to the other side or something along those lines, and I simply didn’t trust her. It benefited my game for her to go.

Ashley: He was super sketchy and I had no connection with him whatsoever. I had at least spoken to Harrison, Nat, and Declan after the swap, so it made absolutely no sense for me to keep Ashley in the game.

Voting for Juliette at 11: I acknowledged this as a mistake. Moving on!

Voting for Nat at 10: She was the biggest threat left in the game. Not only would it have put me in a powerful position if she had gone, it would’ve gotten rid of one of, if not the, biggest jury threat left in the game. Yes it may have benefited other people, but it also benefited me.

Voting for Harrison at 9: He and I didn’t really get along, he leaked information every time I told him something, and I enjoyed what I considered to be a good alliance with Jerry. This is the first vote where sides existed, and it didn’t really make sense for me to side with the Nats and the Declans of the game.

Voting for Nat at 8: Basically the same reason as why it made sense for me to vote her at 10, except now it was more urgent lol.

Voting for Jason at 7: Jason had made it clear that he didn’t really intend on working with me at least until Jordan was gone, but it didn’t make sense for Jordan to go yet, so I turned the vote onto Jason. Jason was playing the “vote off the biggest threats” Will Wahl pendulum game, and I couldn’t count on his vote until Trey was the biggest threat left in the game. So I decided to try to get a coalition together to vote off Jason, since I knew I couldn’t count on him. With Trey at least you could tell where his head was at, and Harrison was kind of the devil I know. Declan was someone we were hoping to get on our side.

Voting for Trey at 6: I needed Jordan in the game for one more vote to guarantee myself final three. If I voted Jordan off like Trey and Jason wanted me too, I would’ve been on the outs and I would’ve had to win my way to the end, and we all know that wasn’t happening. So I voted off Trey. Jordan was an infinitely bigger threat to win, but it made more sense for my gameplay in particular to get rid of Trey at that point.

Five ugh yeah I would’ve voted for you because there was no chance I was beating you at a Jury vote let’s be real.

Voting for Jason at four: It was me or him at that point. Harrison was a bigger goat.

So I think that should suffice to explain how I benefited myself with every single vote I cast. If anyone has any more quesitons let me know. I’m guessing Declan’s gonna have his response to this within a couple hours so I’ll be back lmao
