Nick's Questions

[Nick Uhas]

(Hopefully I am doing this right)

Ok so Candice: What big move have you made in this game that makes you deserving of the win (besides flipping the votes away from yourself, which was pure luck that saved your ass)?

And Jackie: When you have broken literally every single promise you made in this game, and showed that you cared about no one else's game but your own, why the hell would you decide to finally keep your word and take Candice to Final 2?!

(and more questions will surely be coming as I think of them)

Hey Nick!

Alright so a big move that I've done, besides the vote flipper.

Well going back to week three when you and Nicole kept telling me to evict Victoria and save Frank, I didn't do what you both told me to do, I had to do what was best for my game and Victoria ended up staying in a 3-4 vote with my possibly being the swing the vote. With keeping Victoria I knew I would be safe rather than with Frank who I barely talked to.

Also giving Cody and Eddie the 'hinky-vote' maybe wasn't "big", but it was a subtle move; I was thinking far ahead... up to the jury at that point so it paid off for me.

Personally getting you evicted was a huge move as you were probably one of the biggest threats in the game at that point.

And finally just my social game with some people. I really tried to be friends with everyone to guilt them into not nominating me for eviction and it worked, I wasn't nominated for eviction until half-way into the game (and it was because of your twist too, lol). I ended up aligning with the right people and for me it turned out that I was never a big enough target for anyone but at the same time did make moves when I had to (and even in some situations when I was vulnerable to be evicted I convinced people not to evict me even if it would have been better for their game for me to go).

Well I realized what kind of game you were playing, and you were a huge target in my eyes and that's why I tried to take you out     (so what I am basically saying is that I am the only one who had the balls to stand up to you, but yes, I know it didn't work out for me haha)  You are very lucky to be taken to Final 2, but nonetheless you still made it so best of luck Candice!

Thank you Nick! <3

First, I have not broken every promise I have made in this game. The only person I completely lied to and broke a promise to was Victoria when I told her I would use my tiebreaker vote in her favor. No one else on the jury (or pre-jury) was promised anything. Yes I did have to betray a couple people to get here, but I was upfront about it. Because of all the screenshots I knew were floating around, I was actually very careful about not promising anything or saying something that could be used against me later on.

I chose to bring Candice for a couple reasons. For the first half of the game, we had a relatively similar strategy. Neither of us were making big moves, but were just talking to people and staying low key. When people would say something about taking out Candice, the only reason ever given was her vote swap and how that changed the game. Other than that, she hadn't really made any obvious moves. Your eviction, which she might call her move since she was the HOH and wanted you out, was my call. You messaged me promising safety and letting me know information about Zach/Victoria. Nicole had already said she was going to vote Zach out and Victoria was going to keep him, so I had to decide which one of you was more advantageous to me to keep in the game. I knew if I kept you I would be on the outskirts between two alliances (You/Nicole & Candice/Victoria), but keeping Zach put me in a better position to move on the game. 

She only won two competitions which were both endurance while I won four which included luck, skill, and memory. On the note of her vote swap, her even having that power was pure luck. Unlike her, I did not have any powers or advantages in this game. I made it here completely on skill and in fact, won the final HOH that got either of us to this point. Comparing her and Zach, though Zach was not strong competitively, I felt like he did a bunch of things behind the scenes and I didn't know what he would bring to the end. You never know all the ins and outs of someone's gameplay, but with the information I already had, I knew I could argue against Candice. Better the devil you know then the devil you don't!

Ummmm, can I reply to Jackie's answer?

When you say that Nick's eviction was your call, I kind of call bologna, lol. I knew Nick & Nicole were close and I think everyone sort of suspected that. It was also known that Zach was mostly alone. All you did, Jackie, was cast a vote to evict. If you want to credit someone else for Nick's eviction, credit Victoria for winning POV and not using it which basically secured Nick's eviction. It would be THE stupidest move of the game if you would have kept Nick because 1) he can win comps 2) he knows how to talk and make his way around 3) you would be sending Zach home when he was kind of alone in the game. So please don't say that evicting Nick was "your call". All you did was cast a vote to evict and if you wouldn't have evicted him, instead of you sitting in the final two, it could be Nick.

Sorry, lol, just wanted to get that off my chest. No hard feelings though.
