Thank you for your question Zach.
First of all, the quote in Ahmad’s speech about your eviction being a “misunderstanding” and Crystal truly wanting a final 3 of me, you, and him is an example of how I was gaslighting Ahmad. Your eviction was not a misunderstanding as you know, but I told Ahmad that information to get him to go after Crystal and he clearly believed me.
I don’t think I was Crystal’s sheep at all, and I’m sure Crystal himself would confirm that. I did a lot behind his back in this game such as with my relationships with you, Brim, Jay, Yawn, Kim, and Ahmad, I was actually planting seeds of doubt to Jay about how Crystal was not trustworthy to get him to target Crystal down the road, I lied to Ahmad to get him to go after Crystal and the final 4, and I leaked his lies to you after I had evicted you at the final 5. I think that Crystal and I worked as a partnership for sure, but I was putting in a lot of leg work for him. If not for me, there is no way Ahmad works with Crystal and I at the final 6 since they hated one another at the time. I needed to be the glue to keep us in the game longer.
