I kept saying in confessionals that I wished we had been on the same tribe sooner, because I think we BOTH would have gone farther in this game working together.
We did want to vote her out in the next round. We could've done it too since you and Flicka were super close. But instead you decided "let's make Svinoy super solid". Had you taken out Lil, you could've easily blindsided me later. I honestly trusted you after you took out JP because you said so...then you did it again and I made it my goal to send you out.
Just want to put my two cents in there. I didn't want to vote out JP the TC he left. I believe you called me out that night when I said I wanted to vote for JP and then I said I wanted to vote out Anthony. I only voted for JP that night because Steph, Lil and Rocky for some reason weren't going to vote for Anthony. I liked JP and did trust him to a certain extent, but it made no sense to make it a 3-3-1 vote.
After that, I figured you were so pissed at me for getting JP out and because you didn't PM me after that tribal council (to be fair, I didn't PM you either), I figured, okay, this girl is definitely coming after me next, why would she work with me? Anthony then told me that he was willing to work with me and that he and you would be voting for Liliana and that if I did too, it would at least be a 3-3 tie. I may be remembering incorrectly, but I don't know if Steph and I talked about voting Liliana out at that point. It definitely was in our heads before the 2nd tribe swap, but at that point, I was too comfortable in my four person alliance with Steph, Lil and Rocky and making to the merge and I kept saying to them that as long as we vote together, we're pretty much guaranteed to make it to the merge.
I mean, I don't know if I was Steph's, but she was MY closest ally in the game and was the only person I trusted 100%, Rocky would pretty much do anything I told him to and I felt that Liliana would do whatever we said at that point because she would do whatever to make sure it just wasn't her getting voted out. My plan was to get you out both of the tribal councils we went to on Svinoy 3.0, but you kept winning those damn immunities. Haha. So JP and Anthony were the casualties.
Looking back now, of course, it probably would have benefited me and Steph if we voted Liliana out the night Anthony left, because it may have put us in a better position with you and would have possibly helped us last longer in the merge. But, it's probably my fault that I just got too comfortable in the numbers I had and was sort of playing to make it to the merge and didn't think a lot further than that. It was all about, "Just make it to the merge and you'll figure out what to do then when the time comes". In hindsight, I definitely should have talked to Steph about seriously considering voting out Liliana because we both probably would have done better than being the first two members of the jury.
Also, I figured that if you weren't coming after me, you were coming after Steph, and I would have NEVER voted against Steph unless it was me or her. Then we tried the fake idol plan and it ALMOST worked. But it didn't.
