It's because the thing is, I was getting targeted by TJ, and I needed 4 votes to stay, simple enough. So I talked to Steve and Jino, and I realized they would NEVER break apart, and they trusted Zane to some extent so they wouldn't go after him. I wanted to stick with you & Zane, without them on my side, there would have been NO way to keep afloat due to that we were a minority. So it became a difficult choice: vote you out, or vote myself out, because EVERY other option would have lead to my departure. We as the Platypussies turned against ourselves too often imo, and we finally paid the price for that. So, with literally zero options, Zane & I sadly saw you leave, but I made a promise to myself. I'm going to use these newfangled ties to my advantage, I'm going to win as many challenges as possible, I'm going to put ALL of the effort I can to bring the two remaining Platypussie members to the final 2, beat the odds here and all the friend groups against us, and we still reversed the trend of a Platypussie going home every other time. Unfortunately, there was nothing I could have done to save you, but I could do everything in my power to avenge you and bring your 2 remaining allies to the final 3. You see, this is the problem Steve had, he could have been an amazing villain. He said this in Perry's jury speech, he had a bunch of different options available, because every minority of the majority member has a billion options available to them from both tribes. He could have really dominated, but he DIDN'T. He just sort of sat back and watched as basically all of his friends, Askja and Súlur, were voted off, while he gets to the final 3 not because he played, but because they all played and were more respected than him. As Erik Cardona said about Jaison Robinson, he's "an enigma; he has all the tools that can make him a great player but he fails to use them." So in short, I've been fairly loyal to the Platypussies, as I not only worked my hardest to get our members to the final 3 (of all the times I could), and I was always with the majority of the Platypussies in whatever decision there was to turn on our own. Not once did I walk into tribal with the intent on reneging against the Platypussies.
