Welcome, everyone, to the next nomination ceremony. While I'm glad to be safe for another week, the decisions just get harder as the numbers get smaller.
These nominations were unquestionably the most difficult decisions to make for the entire game. Obviously I have to make someone upset with me, so I'll just pull the keys and then explain my decision.
Justin, you are safe.
Last key...
Rachel, you are safe.
I nominated Enzo and Britney for eviction.
Enzo, you obviously aren't surprised. We even talked earlier and it's clear that we're both going after eachother. I do respect that you at least are upfront about it but the fact still remains the same that if you're HoH, you'd nominate me. So it just doesn't make sense for me not to do this. Plus it seems like it's tradition for me to nominate you, so why break it
Britney, this was the much harder decision and I know there's nothing I can say to make this better or make you understand. I realized doing this would piss you off and believe it or not, I really do feel guilty about it. We've been aligned since the start but it's getting to the end game and I feel like it's time to make this decision. I've always trusted you, but I've trusted you like 90% and I've always been paranoid about your actions. You didn't tell me about the basement powers until after you used it, (the first person I heard it from was Annie, someone who I wasn't close to at all). You also didn't tell me about your auction power that you won. And you've been doing everything you can to keep Enzo. Even before veto during my first HoH you were saying that Angie had to go because she was a bigger threat, even though Angie had never won a competition and Enzo had. Then during the Fast Forward, you voted out Natalie over Enzo because you said she didn't deserve to be here. And you insisted it was against her, not me. But I just can't bring myself to believe that reasoning. Especially since earlier in the night when we were talking about who I should nominate you didn't mention Natalie as a possibility except for as a replacement nominee. You were fine with voting out Justin, but not Enzo. That leads me to believe that you want Enzo in this game because you see me as a threat, but didn't want to put the knife in my back yourself. So you want him to do it for you.
Other than that is the fact that you're a huge jury threat. I realize that you've gotten into fights with jurors, but out of all of us I feel like you have the most reasons to plead your case. I think it would be tough for me to convince a jury I deserve to win over you, so that combined with the fact that I don't think you'll take me to the finals (or even to the final 3 as we agreed) led me to this decision.
I know this nomination is going to cause a lot of screaming and fireworks, but that's just something I'll have to deal with. And I know you're gonna go all out for that veto and that you're a force to be reckoned with, so if this all backfires in my face, I guess that's just the way the game goes and I'll congratulate you.
Sorry once again to Enzo that your part of the speech is so much shorter. But I think you already basically know my reasons for you so there's not as much to say
