Nopalito
I honestly do not have much to say to you because based on what you have said, I feel like it was useless for me to even try in this game. And that goes the same for Penguin too. Just because we were not past winners, or nearly as vocal as y’all were doesn’t mean we didn’t play the game. I’m not the type of person to be able to be an obvious threat. I have to play under the radar because I know I don’t nearly have as well of a comp ability as others do. And people like Ikah knew that if he were to lose a comp and not have an idol, he was a goner. So I had to play my game a lot more carefully. I understand I may not be what y’all wanted out of an “all-star”, but if I don’t deserve to be here, how come I made the moves I did against Wade, Jimmy, and Ikah? Why even bother trying if I’m supposed to just be taken out at the first tribal council. You can’t say I wasn’t loyal to Ikah either because not once did I cast a vote on him until final 4. Not once did I consider taking him out before merge, before others like Wade or Jimmy, before any other allies other than that final 2 I made on day 1 with Penguin. You want me to be vulnerable and not lie? There you go. There was a reason I voted you in the revote, Nopalito. It was not to be a fake bitch who likes to backstab. It was because I feared Ikah had a possibility of being taken out then. I am loyal to my allies as long as I see fit. I didn’t like throwing people under the bus. I didn’t like voting you. Also, I never threw you under the bus. I legit fought to keep you when Wade wanted you out. I told Ikah to vote Vaughan instead of you. You wouldn’t have even had a chance to go to the revote if it weren’t for me. I didn’t want to vote you out, but I knew it was either you or Ikah, and I felt like I could trust Ikah more at the time and go farther with him than I could with you. I’m not lying when I say these things. Yes I rode coattails. Yes I lied. However, while I was in Ikah’s shadow I was building stronger bonds with Bob, Grace, Penguin, and Josh so that whenever I was ready to rebel, I wouldn’t fall on my face. I risked my own life in his game at final 5 just to prove I was not gonna let Ikah overshadow me. If I felt like it, I would’ve played the idol on myself, but no. I’m the reason Penguin is here. I’m the reason we could take Ikah out at final 4. So you, not the rest of the jury, can deny that I am the reason the final 3 is the way it is. Even Ikah told me, I made a good move by voting him out. And Josh too. Because either of them would win over me Penguin or Grace. And I am the reason they were voted out.
