Okay so basically what happened was - Jared/I had a final four with Chelsea/Jess and then you/me/Jared had a final three. Jared was hesitating about what to do since he had the idol nullifier and didn't want to burn Jess/Chelsea, but also we both knew that we needed you and my dream final three was you/me/Jared. I didn't feel comfortable flipping and voting Dani without Jared - I couldn't because he had the idol nullifier and if he used it on you, then you were gone 5-2 (not knowing that Dani/Cali weren't voting you). So I was campaigning to Jared repeatedly, saying 'we need to keep Sydney' and trying to get him to vote Dani. He was indecisive, and I legit told him 'I need an answer now' because if he was using the idol nullifier on you, then I wanted to let you know so you would gift the Culzean idol to me, since it was going to wasted regardless. So I was like to him 'TELL ME NOW WHAT ARE WE DOING, DO I GET THE IDOL OR NOT' and he said 'get the idol', so I messaged you being like 'Jared is using the idol nullifier on you', expecting that you would then be like 'okay you can have the idol then' since you would've been voted off 5-2 with it in your pocket. Jared then changed his mind, and to keep trust between the three of us I was like 'omg I misread Jared's message, he's using the nullifier on Dani'. By then, you had already voted Cali, since this all legit happened in the last 5 minutes of tribal.

I can sense from your tone that you're angry with me over this but it wasn't a case of like, I want Sydney gone so I can snatch her idol and put myself in the final five. I did campaign repeatedly to Jared to get him to vote Dani and tried to get Jess/Chelsea to change their votes and put it on Dani - like I said, my dream final three was you and Jared! BUT in the event Jared was using the idol nullifier on you, I saw the potential for me to be in a 4-2 minority the next round and did want the security of the idol. In loads of previous games I've gifted idols in hopeless situations and been gifted them by allies so I didn't view this it as a betrayal, especially since I'd been campaigning to save you all day and was potentially the only reason why it wasn't 5-2 against you with the idol nullifier being used to send you out. I really hope you're not mad at me over it? It really wasn't a case of me wanting you gone, but if Jared had decided to use the idol nullifier on you then I wanted to at least get some advantage out of the worst situation that could've happened that round. Like being voted off with the idol is futile imo when it could've been used to advance my game since I had immunity and was surviving no matter what. I understand being angry if it was my intention to get votes on you, have your idol nullified then ask you for it as I'm voting you out, but that's not how it happened at all since I didn't even end up asking you for the idol LOL, I genuinely just assumed that if you thought you were leaving with the idol, you would've gifted it to me because of our alliance.

'There were some things that happened in the game that made me really upset with you, and I don’t want to talk about them yet because I think you are getting enough hate tonight' - I'm sorry I made you upset in the game, hopefully we can talk post-season about it regardless of whether you vote me to win or not. Really didn't intend to do that at all as you were one of the people I cared for the most in the game.
