Matt, regarding whether Zach said he had your vote or controlled your vote or whatever (since he volunteered me to clarify lol)... I feel like both of us assured Nick that you were solid with the two of us (Nick knew about our alliance with you, I think it was formed while we were on one of our alliance calls actually). Anyway he (Nick) was considering putting you up as the replacement and Zach and I were against it because we felt that we "had you." You'd formed that alliance with us after all. We ideally wanted Candice up so that Boog would go but we didn't push it since we both thought you'd keep Keith (but that Keith wouldn't keep you). That was why we were so blindsided and so upset when you convinced Brian to come around and then voted against us anyway. We really thought you were solid and that you wanted to work with us.
No no! I'm not upset about that or anything. I completely see y'alls reasoning for wanting that week to work out how you all wanted it to, and I absolutely handled that horribly (and I did want to work with you, when I get better at these, I hope we can play again and get something going for more than three weeks lmao. I do believe him when he says that he didn't fully trust my vote, but he was confident about it. I really didn't him a reason that round TO doubt me until after the vote to save boog
When Nick says he was the #1 target most of the time I don't really buy it. Wasn't Ryan the number 1 target the time he was on the block first, Since I nominated him twice, when it was him vs Heather I was totally fine with either going tbh and when it was him vs Zach, had they somehow both stayed on the block, I would have targeted Zach go so he wasn't my number 1 target that round. The round Sofia was HOH he probably was and his other nomination was the final HOH where he clearly wasn't the target.
Idk Boog I think that misses the point entirely. The fact that he survived nearly impossible odds is what impresses me about Nick. He was slated to leave many times, initial target or otherwise, and he turned that around every time. If Nick wasn't the initial target at initial noms then so what really? That doesn't matter IMO because the initial target changes all the time. Being a backup target or the primary target post Veto is just as impressive if not more so as far as I'm concerned. The bottom line is that Nick had to hustle to stay. Over Brittany, Memphis, Brian and me, he put in serious work.
I'm only saying his wording is very misleading. I'm not knocking his ability to stay on the block, it was impressive no doubt. The fact that he claims he was the #1 target all those times is just not true. Had he said it differently I wouldn't have broughten it up.
