Hey Craig! I actually didn't try to isolate you or at least I didn't intend to? In fact, I looked back and I actually messaged you first lol. We have had a couple conversations looking back at it like about the cute cats you had, college, Big Brother, other ORGs. I will actually admit the first time we met, you sort of gave me a weird first impression. You said, and I quote "I'm off and on, warning you! gaming with some friends" and I actually misunderstood you. I originally thought you meant that you were a firecracker and that you would only work with friends, hence why I replied "Oh okay?" Thankfully that wasn't the case lol. I actually probably talked to you more than certain people at that time, in fact only a few people knew I was at the hospital the day you were eliminated for my grandma, and trust me I would never lie about that. I'm not that type of person at all to walk past someone and make them feel like that, and I'm actually VERY sorry that I made you feel that way. I know the feeling, and I would never do that to anyone purposefully. I guess the reason why we didn't strategize (other than the fact we only knew each other for like 2-3 days) is because coming into merge, there were rumors about an alliance between you, Brittany, Rob and possibly Ci'ere and that was deadly to my game. I wasn't going to vote Rob because we had an instant connection for various reasons, Ci'ere was down to vote you, and I talked to Brittany as well. So yeah, I didn't try to alienate you, trust me it was just more so we happened to be on two sides I guess you would say. Yes you would have been a great ally, but for all I know, there could have been a chance you would vote for me the tribal afterwards and I would be sitting in jury right now. I really would love to be friends after this was over, I loved your personality and we hit it off pretty well.

As for why I deserve your vote, again I like to consider that I played a great social game. As I stated numerous times it really did hurt me to vote you but I didn't want to have my emotions holding me back. I love you, but like I said how could I have known you would keep me over Ci'ere or even Estefana. However, on a level of friendship, at the time I guess I did talk to you more than certain others but I needed to do what was best for my game. We could really be great friends because we have our similarity but differences, and I liked that. I just really hope you vote for me because of my personal growth, and the fact that I fought and did whatever it took to get where I am now.
