 12 to the merge, I had never been made aware of any issues involving him from early on in the game with original Vokai. I never heard any chatter from new Vokai that anyone felt uncomfortable with his actions. I’m not saying this didn’t happen; I want to be clear. I’m saying I had no knowledge of any issues with Dan’s behavior. Dan vocalized to me on several occasions that the only way he would flip with the four of us (Elaine, Missy, Elizabeth, and myself) was if Kellee and Janet agreed as they were his core alliance. This was understood.

So what happened at the merge?

Fast forward to the merge day. Right out of the gate, I was told by several people myself, Missy, and Elizabeth would be the first targets as directed by Janet and Kellee. We were told that Janet’s job was to woo Elizabeth and make her feel comfortable as they were both swimmers, and Kellee was going to do the same with Missy. Tommy confirmed all of this with me and apologized because Kellee and Janet told him they would not flip to work with us, meaning we were going to be voted out per Janet and Kellee’s direction. I relayed this information to Missy and Elizabeth of what Janet and Kellee’s plans were.

The three of us had our backs against the wall, and we all started to scramble. I filled Tommy in on Jamal’s misplayed idol, and shortly after, Tommy came back to me and told me he and Lauren were flipping, and the vote was now going to be Kellee. Not that I cared for justification at that point, as my fate was in his hands, but he explained that he could no longer trust her. He also explained that he didn’t want to be told what to do and who to vote for and felt he didn’t have a voice amongst them. I believed him, and that was all the information I needed to make my first vote at Tribal Council Kellee, assuming she didn’t win immunity.

Did the meeting you had with production play into the day’s events at all?

Our “production talk” came about 10 minutes before our Immunity Challenge. My experience in that talk was this: “Aaron, we want you to know if you don’t feel comfortable or safe, please know we are here for you. We want everyone to
