Seeing as one of you could be joining me here tonight, I thought I should just make a note trying to clear the air on a few things, rather then having to explain as each person gets here. First things first. I did not take the idol clues, and was not even tempted to do so. I was planning on sticking with Helios all the way, especially after the ugly interaction at the second challenge, and the ever growing hatred of Rob that seemed to bond our tribe.
Now to explain why I tried to get people to vote for Jan, or Ted. Jan is much simpler to explain. I felt like she had the least interaction with the group, and therefore contributed the least. It was nothing personal, I just thought everyone else was putting in more time on the game.
Ted, is a bit more complicated. I didn't trust him since day 1, especially with the way he kept talking about tribal unity like a broken record. He just seems suspicious to me. I mentioned to one person night 1 about my suspicion of Ted, but the said they didn't really feel suspicious of him, so I let it go. Then challenge 2 comes and most of us were under the impression that none of us would take idol clues, but then 2 more people did it. That is when my feeling he was up to something came back, and so when we ended up losing, my gut told me to target Ted because if we kept him and he kept taking the clues, we would keep losing. I probably should have made my suspicion more known, but I did not want to look like I was just stirring the pot. We were given so little time to discuss the vote that it seemed like my wanting to get rid of Ted came from left field with absolutely no rationalization. Him revealing he had the idol after all the votes were due, confirmed my suspicion of him. I just don't believe that he found it with no clues. I made a decision I thought would make the group stronger, but I just didn't have enough time to explain myself. There is always the possibility I was wrong about Ted, but my gut is telling me he should not have been trusted.
