Alright, so. I have a pretty big decision I have to make here with my vote. This game has been an unusual challenge for me because I feel like I've met a handful of people that I could be great friends with outside of this game, but along the way I've had to make tough decisions that were harder than I thought they ever would be. One relationship that I've made in this game and held very highly has been my relationship with Candice. I was ridiculed by Boog at the end of last round for my decision to not backdoor Candice, as she was a clear threat. There are many reasons I didn't put up Candice, and yes, most were personal, but I had my game reasons too.

I think that Candice had my back over Boog and Casey despite being told that she had F2 deals with them, too. When I was told this information by Boog, I believed that it was a possibility, as this is a game and Candice is playing to win. However, Candice and I had discussions that I don't think she'd have with just anyone and she and I made the jump together away from the group of four, to make a threesome with Joey. As far as I know, Candice didn't have any outside ventures like that with Boog and/or Casey, therefore I believed my F2 with Candice stood stronger in her mind over their deals, and she'd have my back if I needed her in these final stages. I never had F2 discussions with Boog or Casey, which was my reason for nominating them. I was playing with what I knew and what I felt I could rely on to get to the F2, if I couldn't win Final HOH/POV.

In this game I have struggled to separate my personal feelings from my gaming mind. Last round, I stepped away from my personal feelings a bit and nominated two people that I was aligned with, as I perceived it to be a smart, strong game move for me. Now, I'm here and have to cast my vote to evict another one of my allies; Candice or Joey. At the end of the day, this game needs to be finished off strong. Everyone is playing for themselves when it's all said and done, right? None of us signed up to play for somebody else. If you aren't strong and you don't make crucial decisions when they need to be made [like now, at the twelfth hour], this game will swallow you up whole; it feeds on the weak. I know this, I realize this ..

This is a really, really hard decision for me. It's one I wish I didn't have to make, but it's necessary if I want to show everyone that I've undoubtedly been here to play and at the end of it all, win. Everything personal that I've said to you, I've meant. I do love you a ton and I want to continue our friendship outside the game if you choose to keep it, but I have to evict you, Candice; I'm so sorry. >___<; I can't pass up this opportunity to take out a huge contender for the victory. You've played a strong and were a huge asset to not only me, but our alliance. I understand if you feel hurt and betrayed, but please know this is only because it's a game, nothing else. I'm so sorry, ugh.
