While Talla's been busy and took off for a day or two, I've gotten along with her more before the twist and HOH was even announced, whereas Aneal never even attempted to bring up game to me until the night after he was nominated, and it might be beneficial to try and stop some heat from getting tossed my way. So, since I don't have any plans of lying for the sake of it and giving everyone reason to distrust me this early by changing my vote...
Andrew vs Alec (as opposed to what the news feed says as "vote to evict AJ or Alec"):
This was possibly going to involve me secretly switching it to Talla, but since Suzette went and had to be all stupid over whatever, when the votes were probably there to keep Talla regardless, this vote is pretty much a no-brainer.
I vote to evict: Alec.
Edit: Since I forgot about doing goodbye messages, I figure I'll just do them now.
Andrew: Andrew man, if you're seeing this, then it wasn't supposed to go down this way at all, and you're sitting there because that damn Suzette went and Vetoed Talla. I'm sorry, but if it's any consolation, I'm going to try to make sure everyone responsible for you being there gets what's coming to them.
Alec: Alec, you're a cool person and I have nothing against you. It was nice talking about things outside of the game, and I hope you understand that given the choices, I did what I thought would help me be safer longer and prolong my stay in this game and was purely strategic.

This is pretty much the easiest vote in the history of the world, and that other people are making it seem like it'll be close or difficult just shows the lack of intelligence of the people I'm dealing with here. With that being said, since Misandry has no place in any part of the world, let alone this game...
I vote to evict: Suzette.
Since I was going to do a goodbye message but forgot to on account of being tired, I'm just adding it in.
Suzette: While we may have had our issues, and I guess rivalry and all that going on, I never actually hated you on a personal level and I 'get' why you've made the strategic choices you've made. I just felt that you were the biggest strategic threat to me at this time, and that's why I voted how I did. Best of luck.

This was never supposed to be the final nominations but Talla decided to be stupid and protect Dixie by deciding to show that she's more focused on whether someone who she already fulfilled her promise to would be mad, over not alienating someone she went out of her way to ally with. Either way, my vote is pretty easy here.
I vote to evict: Krystal
Goodbye messages:
Krystal: Sorry to see you go Krystal, but sometimes I wasn't really sure where your head was at and sometimes it was kind of hard to get ahold of you. I always enjoyed when we did get to talk though, so best of luck. Estelle: Esty...if you're seeing this, then something went horribly wrong and I'm hating everybody right now. You were never supposed to be up there at all, and you were supposed to be sitting next to me at the end of the game in the Final 2. I'm just hoping you don't have to see this until the game's over and the boards are open.
Since I'm missing goodbye messages for Liza and Rory, I'll just put them in here now.
Liza: Lizer, I've got to say that the fact things turned out this way is absolutely ridiculous and downright stupid. We tried to make some idiots see the light, but it looks like at least one of them was happier to just walk in the dark.
Rory: Man, I'm sorry that we wound up next to each other on the block, and it seems like if we both stayed somehow, we could have helped each other at some point down the line. You're a smart guy, and I wish you wouldn't have been on the block and could've made it further.
With how late it is in the game, this vote is insanely important and is a huge risk either way. Andrew's good in competitions, but he has a few enemies in he Jury. Talla's not quite as good in competitions (but still relatively good), and is a smooth talker, savvy, and can be incredibly persuasive. With only 2 rounds left after this until the Final 2, I have to look at what not only gives me the best shot at getting there, but gives me the best shot at getting there and winning. No matter which I choose, it could well bite me in the ass.
I vote to evict: Talla
Goodbye Messages:
Andrew: Well Andrew, if you're seeing this, then some plan got hatched between the girls that I was left out of. I admittedly can't be too sad to see you go since you've tried to get me out a number of times, but it would've been better for me strategically for it to go the other way.
Talla: Talla, we've had ups and downs through the game, but I have to respect your abilities. You're good in competitions, you never give up, and you're a smooth and persistent talker. I feel like if you were to make it to the Final 2, you'd be able to sway a jury, and I have to take into consideration the situation in which you made all of those offers. This isn't personal, despite how it may seem, but I feel I had to do it. Good luck.
