Nick - I'm not going to say that I followed Mearl, because it's not true. I was more than prepared to give Mearl 5th/4th if the opportunity arose, but Mearl won both of those challenges. Post-Merge, I teamed up with my fellow failures, and they really seemed to have no interest in working together any longer. I was working closely with Ray and Bennett, and I was prepared to fall back on them if Mearl, Jabbar, and I had a falling out. I didn't want Mearl in finals. If I sheeped Mearl, I would have done everything Mearl told me to do, and I didn't. I know that because Mearl won more challenges, Mearl seems more dominate, but I deserve more credit than I'm being given.
