Okay so I've been beating myself up about this vote for days now and I think it's making me sick. While I am mad at Shadow within the contexts of this game, I don't want what happened here to have an impact on our friendship outside of the game. He's still a good friend and I hope even if I don't vote for him - he will understand and not hold it against me. I am certainly not going to hold anything against him once this game is over.
Both have played strong games deserving of the win and I've honestly gone back and forth on what I should do. As I type this out, I still don't know if I'm making the right decision or not. But...
While I may have overreacted initially, I do still feel a little let down by Zach. That, and Nick really has played an incredible game. He had almost everyone thinking that he was with them and he survived the block five times - when each time, the smartest decision would have been to evict him. That didn't just happen by luck, he worked it like crazy.
