Hey Edvin! Thanks for asking this question because I really wanted to explain my logic to you behind the move of voting you out, especially to you – there are number of reasons I wanted to take you out over Vilma. One of the biggest reasons was that I didn’t trust you. As I mentioned in my opening speech, I had heard about multiple little white lies that you had been telling people that were impacting my game. One specifically was that you were throwing Tom under the bus as the person who suggested taking out Matt at the F8, when in fact it was Elsa. At this point, Elsa was out of the game so I didn’t really care if she took the fall for that because she had already been voted out, but I didn’t want anyone targetting Tom because of your lies (btw, I don’t blaming you for telling lies or anything since that’s apart of the game, however it just meant I couldn’t trust you because they were affecting my game). At tise stage in the game, it was essential for me and Tom to stick together in order to progress further in the game, so I didn’t want Tom to be taken out because that would have completely screwed my game. As well as this, during the F8 vote you were completely unreceptive to my suggestion of voting out someone from your original tribe when I came to you telling you that your alliance was throwing your name out there. I felt as though you were simply trying to use me to get out Vilma at F7, and then that you would be finished with me after she was gone. As well as this, if I had voted out Vilma at F7, this means I would’ve been putting all my eggs in Rob’s and yours’s baskets. As I just said, I didn’t really trust you and Rob wasn’t a logical player in this game, he was an emotional player, which wasn’t the type of person I wanted to have control over my faith in this game. I knew that by voting you out over Vilma at the F7 I would be able to solidify my trust  with Alex. I knew that by keeping Vilma she wouldn’t feel obliged to vote with me at F6, but I knew you and Rob wouldn’t either, therefore the main benefit of keeping her was gaining Alex’s trust. I knew that by voting you out I would gain the trust of Alex and that he would stick with me the next round because I knew he wanted Matt gone for certain, which was more than I could say for you or Rob.
