Whelp. There goes that. I want to make a pitch for me to not be the replacement nom if i need to, but me and nathan are both good to evict hermione this week. Just lemme know if I have to make a pitch

Well, to be honest, I'd much rather put you up to ensure Hermione goes, I'm assuming you two are close, and I want to ensure he'll vote her out, since he's never personally given ME his word he'd vote her out over Megan. That's why he was on the block in the first place, I wanted as much guarantee I could get one vote to evict Hermione. I do trust you both, but if what you're saying is true, either way, she'll be going home this week, so it shouldn't matter, and selfishlyyyyy, you've never been on the block so I want to make sure your record isn't as squeaky clean should we get to the end together lol, I hope you understand

If i got him to send you a message would it sway you at all? Im worried Megan will vote me, and then for all I know you break the tie and send me packing cause of a trainers alliance. We've already discussed how neither of us are winning, this was our plan since before HoH. You said you would repay the favour when I didn't nominate you, when I easy could have blindsided either you or hermione, and I didnt. I valued our relationship too much, and I hope that would be reciprocated now. You have my guarantee, and if I lie you can expose me for anything and everything ive ever said. Nathan and I already had the pressure of wanting to win to get her out this week (as we have discussed you and me earlier today).

I know you're worried about my no-noms, but that means nothing to a jury that already hates me, which most of them have made clear they do. Even if its final two, im not winning against you. You have more comp wins and are a returnee. No noms means nothing to that

I would NEVER send you packing. You have my word. I'm going to try to get Megan to vote out Hermione, but if that doesn't work, it just goes to a tie and I vote to evict her without hesitation. A trainer's alliance means nothing, Hermione and I are going at each other, which I'm sure you took into account when you chose to keep us around; it buys you one more round of us going at each other, and then you don't have a trainer there to win F4 HOH, leaving it much more open for you, as I'd be a goner without Veto.

I do value our relationship, but it's a game for one, and two, you're not going anywhere if it comes to a tie. You have my word, swear on anything. I do see what you're saying, but I feel as though this nomination shouldn't make a difference, and I'd rather not risk red all banding together again and sending home Megan leaving me screwed and alone. You also didn't backdoor Hermione when you had the chance on your HOH too, it wasn't just not betraying me, it was being loyal to her too, showing there is a connection there too.

I just personally don't see the risk as long as Nathan is set to evict Hermione, which, according to you, he should be. If I had it my way this week, you wouldn't be hitting the block at all, as optimally I would have just won Veto and kept noms the same, but I do have to make a renom, and for me, putting up Megan is so redundant and a waste in my mind. But I promise you you're not going anywhere on a tie.

It again boils down to returning the favour. She never nom'd me. Everyone already thinks im stupid, that i just ride coat-tails, and im dead scared of being at risk. Ive never even seen you or hermione as "going at" each other until yesterday, maybe i was just living in this idealistic world of our magenta alliance, but ive considered us allies, even now. You all knew Bean was my target in my hoh, it was nothing I wanted to end relationships with two people i care about. I get its a game, i knew what I signed up for, I guess I just took your word at face value when you said you wouldn't nom me as a thank you. If you didnt want me hitting the block at, you still dont have to. But its your choice in the end. I still hope you don't and choose to trust me and nathan, but you're gonna have to do what you have to do. I didn't give up on you when things were down, I just ask it can hopefully be reciprocated.

I'm sorry, I didn't want to have to nominate you, but at this point, it's final 5, I simply cannot risk that your loyalty to me is not also loyalty to Hermione, even now. I won the last veto, so I wasn't an option to begin with, so I just have to set up the pieces so that there is no logical reason to keep Hermione around. Hermione and I have always been going at each other in some sense. I voted her out when Korra put her up, but Megan happened to vote to keep her. I always wanted her to win a Battleback and then just keep working together after that this way Bean would have never returned to begin with. That was the plan anyway, but I failed haha, just as a little further proof I'm not loyal to her. Why do you think Korra said all those things about me on her way out? She had some embellished quotes, but the heart of many of them were valid lol.

I am really sorry though, I don't want you to be upset or anything, but then again, I'd completely understand if you went after me next week, I except it and I respect it! None of my game moves are meant to be personal, but I have come to care about you a lot and I don't want our friendship to be different at the very least even if our game relationship changes for you.

Again though, you really won't be going anywhere if I have anything to say about it.

I didn't even mention your perfect record of not being nominated because I really don't want anyone getting any ideas LOL.

Its all good, you know I had to try at the very least. Still nothing but love here <3. AND OMG REALLY?! Damn this whole game could have been completely different if not for a rogue MEGAN vote?!?! Jesus that gives me anxiety, cause in my mind that Hermione save was kind of a moment where we secured our power in the house as red/pink, and every eviction was decided by us afterwards. Wowie. I made my plea, I hope they see it as the opportunity it is.

LOL, I completely understand you had to try, I respect the hell out of it!! I would've been trying to guilt you too if I were in that position like pleaseeee don't ruin my record xoxo <3 But hey, let's do this, nothing but love for me too

And LMAO YEP, I didn't tell a singleeeee soul (except Korra, but I figured by then she'd already tarnished all her credibility anyway) because I was going to try to play the middle. I figured if it backfired, I'd just be able to pretend Megan was the liar and that I was solid pink/red forever. I actually WAS planning to be red/pink forever, but I really just didn't want Bean to return because on her way out she literally told me she'd be after me, so I wanted the blame to not land on me!

I'm kind of glad it didn't work, because I love you all

Anyway, it's a good plea, about to make a huge rebuttal to Hermione

Please keep me

Don’t worry, you’re good with me I’m just hearing out Hermione’s final plea right now, but I’ve already warned her I’m very set on this lol

I’m having a lot of anxiety rn lmao

I’m sorry but omg from a logical standpoint I have NO reason to keep her; you’re good omg
