I'm really shocked right now. Why were WE not told of this when we were trying to make our decision!? This would have made our choice a LOT easier and faster. I'm confused as to how this made you think you WOULDN'T receive votes. You must know that Dominic is a way better player than that... I can't believe you withheld that information from us!

Why is that important now? I didn't tell you guys because you guys would have thought I was making deals with the other side, and then it would have put me in a very bad position. I was already being accused of being too friendly so why further that? I already said in retrospect that should have raised flags, so you commenting on it does not really matter. And I believed Dominic, because I'm somewhat naive like that and I thought he was being genuine. My bad. |

Okay explanation time concerning the merge/ghang thing.
A conversation took place right after the immunity challenge between Knox and I. I asked what was up and we had a little small talk. Knox then mentioned that I had apparently been quiet lately and asked if I was mad at him. I had a conversation with Henry a few hours before that which consisted of Henry telling me I bully/yell at people and that they were getting tired of it. I told Knox I wasn't mad at him, but I also felt like I couldn't talk to people without being misunderstood. This prompted him to be apologetic and me to get a little sappy. I basically went on a little rant about not being able to talk to anyone because I was genuinely upset about it because it seemed like everything I was saying or doing came off as abrasive or devious. He then said "I don't know what they think, it's their opinion, I know what mine is and I don't agree with it." This then led me to inquire about these ~opinion~. I knew you guys ghang'd occasionally so I asked if there was any conversation about me and he told me that I did come up and that you guys were harping on me eliminating him from that immunity challenge because he was apparently upset about it. He sent me on a guilt trip telling me I was last on his elimination list (probably a lie btw) but that he didn't wanna gossip anymore. I then asked some questions and he answered them all without giving too much away. I asked if everyone was talking about me to which he just went off on how Kirin likes me in real life? I then asked what kind of stuff was being said.
His exact quote:
"Like, I feel like they were kinda trying to convince me not to talk to you as much tbh. They brought up that you eliminated me before Thiago even tho I said we are friends. And that you always talk smack in confs so I'm probably in for a rude awakening."
Conversation then consisted of me basically having to defend myself on the fact that my friendship with Knox was genuine, which I shouldn't have to do. He was sorry he had to deliver the information, but told me it ~probably~ wasn't personal. Regardless, I decided to confront Cassie with it regardless because I wasn't about to be the center of a smear campaign. Hope this salvages some of the memories from that night, man.

Thank you so much Dominic, that did help a lot.
Before I start: did I say you were last on my list, or last on my list from your side? Because if I said it was out of the whole list then I totally lied and I'm sorry cause that sounds completely unnecessary. You were the last from your side though.
Anyways, I think the extert [is that word?] above shows that I was really not trying to screw anyone over. I am the kind of person that when someone is really sad I try to lift them up no matter what. Maybe it's my RA part or something, I just like taking care of people and trying to make them feel better. When Dom was telling me that he was upset that people were villainizing him I was just sad because I genuinely think he is a good person. We have talked about this like a million times too, so I hope this doesn't sound too general.
He asked me a direct question, and like I had you guys before I don't feel comfortable lying. So I answered truthfully, I was under the impression our conversation would stay private and I thought I was like trying to not be so upset about it by showing him that I did care. I know that you guys don't have anything personal against him as a person, but as a game-player you guys were really trying to convince me that night that I was gonna be disappointed when I read his confessional after the game was over.
When I mentioned Kirin liking him in real life, it was kind of my way of saying that it was not personal, it was more about the way he was playing the game. I think. Eventually, the conversation clearly turned into more personal and I think Dominic felt more hurt than anything, and I felt bad so I tried to tell him it was not personal. I felt bad because I was kind of trying to help in a way and it clearly backfire.
Either way. It was never my intention to make him dislike anyone or to create any kind of fight. And I can swear that on whatever you want. I think the above paragraph that Dominic typed kind of shows the whole situation, and I think the whole thing was blown out of proportion and for that I apologize cause I had no shady intentions with that at all.
I hope that makes sense and it clears things up, if not, let me know and I will try to go into further detail if necessary.

"I had you last in my list, even tho I knew you had done really good in the challenge."
I think the wording, along with the entire conversation, was meant to be vague and misleading. While I'm sure a lot of it was genuine, a part of me can see some devious motives to informing me of cast members talking about me. It probably wasn't all personal, but we both knew it would be hurtful so throwing a comment like "oh I'm sure it was just game" at the end didn't help much. Regardless, I'm glad I could clear stuff up and help you out!
