There had to be a clear winner here and I thought that, in all probability, Yayita was the least likely of you four to win again. Please get over it and graciously accept that you received 5 nominations, not 5 and "now you win".
First and foremost, I haven't taken such a position at all. As Aisleyne would say I was 'just keeping it real, saying it how it is'. Next, when I asked someone to change their votes, it was actually to ask them to precisely 'not vote' for me, because I would find it unfair on anyone else if anything I had posted had ever influenced a vote. As for the comment I suggested to Kate, it was clearly meant humorously, where I may add I used the '' symbol to characterize that.

As for your last point, I see where you're coming from and I actually think that's a really nice gesture for you to do that for Yayita. Don't get me wrong, as I mentioned beforehand, I am 100% on board and contempt that Yayita qualified, I just didn't think it was exactly fair on Mollie or BigBrother12. Seriously it was the moral of it, not anything to do with myself. I think maybe, following your considerate gesture for Yayita, it would nice to also be considerate for Mollie and BigBrother12 and alter/edit your Week 7 nominations and put those two in, if you see what I mean. I don't mind about myself because you don't seem to understand that it isn't about winning for me. As I posted previously in this thread, I was shocked and quite touched to actually get these votes this week as beforehand, I had only ever had one nomination in the first 4 weeks. So please don't say i'm not being gracious.

I hate confrontation and was definitely not looking for it. I just thought I wanted to address the point/concern that I had, and so I did.
