NOOO... I would have been all ears. I thought you were trying to kill me. I thought if I said something to you, you would have forwarded it to Rose and Atreyu.

Wes was talking to Laurie heavily at that point. I was under the assumption that Laurie wanted to work with Wes, so I was going to make a move with those two the next round. If I had known the truth, I'd have been all over voting for either Atreyu OR Rose.

I had plans to work with Laurie down the road.

You are totally right, Romeo. But Trip had the F3.

Now would we really have honored it is the fair question.... Probably not.

But Trip had an F3 (yup with my favorite word - promise) out there.

But Trip was right, what do you do when Max comes to you and says force the tie...

There's no such thing as a "drama free ending". People shouldn't be playing for 5th and Trip wasn't playing for you or Max or Apollo or Dan. There's always a power structure, and it's never going to be easy combining people otherwise.

I don't think any of us were playing for 5th. It just seemed the most logical (for me anyways) to go to the 5 before battling it out to the end.

Laurie, Trip had a F3 with me and Lucy. Trip wasn't playing for F3. He was playing to win. It made zero sense for him to ever be F3 with you and Max or Apollo and Dan. And it made less sense for him to be F5 in that alliance either. That's why he made the moves he did.

I loved that you voted him out though - even if it wasn't the strategically soundest move.

I WANTED to go with you and Max to F3. The problem is I knew you and Dan were tight and that there was also an F4 alliance with Apollo and Dan. I had to split that up.

I was never targeting Max, but I did make a move to try to get Max to go after Apollo, when Apollo wasn't really targeting Max. I couldn't risk going to that final five and getting voted out at five. Not my style.

When Max told me my best move was to force the tie, the left me with little choice.

Easy for you to say when you/Dan were a pair and Max/Laurie were a pair. I was the obvious man out.

You did the right thing, Trip. Absolutely.

I just wish you wouldn't have for my own personal gain, haha.

Who were my closest allies? Just because people claimed to be doesn't mean they were . Lucy was all over the map. Buttercup was never my ally. The only ally I really voted out was Romeo.

Max, can you explain this? It's what completely screwed up my game.

It's logical for you because you had your main ally with you there and had a F4 with Max and Laurie! It wasn't logical for Trip to sit back and be the mercy of your pairs.

I had the same thing as you with him Apollo - a F5 with Lucy, Rose and Atreyu. He didn't want that. He blew it up. I'm annoyed he did it because it led to my demise, but I respect a man playing for himself.

LOL... again, thank you. Romeo gets me!!

I wasn't standing for any pairs deciding my fate. I wanted to BE in a pair,

Romeo, I think we all understand why Trip did what he did.

I'm not sure it's necessary for you to spell it all out like we're five years old.

For you Romeo. I never could quite figure out where you stood with Wes. And therefore with me.

You and I danced around in every conversation we had, trying to get the other to say something. To commit to something... Anything.

It was pretty funny.
