Sorry to add an extra question for you Deshawn. You mentioned there were a few things that didn't add up from your perspective. Could you share where some of those things don't line up with your perception/experience? I am just curious to see where there were differences in the outlook of what happened.
It's a few little things from both VERY early Ancha and then early merge. Night 1, Abe and I made a final 2 deal and agreed that Xander/Evvie would be our foursome. Xander and I made a similar-ish ("getting to the end") stoner deal. Which, looking back, kinda feels like the foundation of what they actually worked with in the game so the concept that they came up with it on day 3 and then pulled me in (and Shan/Sara as all their +1s) is a little weird because Sara suggested making a final 3 deal with Abe and I on night one and we had already made that other thing official.
And then at the merge, there seems to be a little confusion about how much control Abe had. At the Erik vote, I whispered to you first thing when tribal started and Abe got spooked out by it asking me if the plan was changing and to let him know if "we" were switching the vote because he wanted to be on the right side of the vote. And as far as I know, Abe and Xander were both really into the idea of pagonging Kallpa. It was going to be JR next and then you. Then for the Sara vote, we all know how JR was pushing my name for basically 24 hours and we spent the whole day going through everyone to see which name would stick. So there was no control on the Sara vote. We talked about voting Heather, Shan and you and then once we got people to commit to Sara we went with it. At the Heather vote, Abe was pushing for you to leave and didn't understand why no one wanted to vote you out and I had to really argue against it. What ended up convincing Abe is me claiming that Abe or I were for SURE getting voted out if you tried to vote for you because there was no way we'd get 5 votes on you. Since it was the F8, it was the riskiest in terms of a tie, we agreed that Heather was the "safest" vote.
And for the Shan vote, I might need Evvie to jump in to confirm their actual intentions there because the 2 of us had a conversation about how we didn't want to vote Shan out and we were only doing it for Xander and I feel like the both of us were actually considering not doing it. I know for a fact that I was willing to do something else so had Evvie and I agreed on something, Shan would not have gone home. So that vote I'm not sure about, it just depends on how Evvie was playing it. But for me personally, Abe had no influence on that vote either.

Your conversations were super helpful.Your conversations were super helpful.

Xander and I never liked each other and we knew it. I had no expectations of him. Abe promised me the moon all game, then lied to me about his vote and didn’t speak a word to me during the voting period. That’s how I knew I was going home lol.
