Jimmy - Up until final 9, I had not heard a word from you. We had no relationship and then, when you finally acknowledged me as a living human being, I start to be your target #1. You never tried to approach me, yet you needed allies. Why was I not an ally for you, but rather someone you must have had gone? And no, I will not accept an answer like "I was Agatti strong", because you worked with Hoop. I felt a personal target from you and I finally wanna know why.
Unfortunately, I did not work with Hoop. I will give you that I wanted to work with Nick. This credit goes to Nick, who entered New Kavaratti as a charming and fun person who was all "go team" which is an easy way into my good graces. As I said earlier, It ruins the fantasy for me to talk across tribal lines, and we didn't meet until F10. Because I was Agatti Strong, is in fact the true answer, but here is another.
I had seen you pull off moves time and time again, I knew you had taken my allies from me, and maybe if you were gone I could get them back. Also, I just knew you were a dark horse in the challenges. I feared you, on many levels. You were, imo, the biggest threat in the F9.
You are very correct, I sorely needed allies. Until F7, I believed I had several allies, and to take on more would mean lying. I tested the waters with you, (when I had to), at F6. My purpose there was two-fold. I really did believe that if you and I didn't work together, that Kara and Chris would make it to the end, and I was correct. I desperately needed you to work with me, but I understand that it was just too little too late, and perhaps you felt I was too much of a threat to allow to stay in the game, or more likely you just couldn't trust me because we'd developed no relationship. The other side of that, was that I could very well have gone home, and I wanted to give you the opportunity to jury manage me. If I'd gone home then, and Hoop wasn't in the finals, you would have easily had my vote, but only if we spoke some.
