Nelson is happy people feel he’s finally growing for the better. He also said his mom slapped him for how he spoke to Kailah last season and he knew he needed to stop acting up because his mom isn’t having it anymore and getting upset with his former behavior lol.

Also from that link:

Nelson went on live with Devin and they chatted a lot. Basically Devin has no respect for Fessy or how he played this game. What bothers him most is that this is only Fessy’s second season so there is no way to justify him doing what he did, as opposed to someone like Nany or Leroy who have done many seasons and never won so they say “let me do something different this time and see if it works after all these years”. Fessy showed who he is as opposed to it just being game in Devin’s eyes.

I just don't understand this. So Fessy can't make a big move or do what he thinks is best to win because it's only his second season? That's the fricked up, stupid logic that always flaws the Challenges IMO. So if Leroy or Nany would've made the exact same move, it's all good because they suck and have never won? Get the frick out of here with that shite.

I don't think Fessy plays a great game either, but what he did last night was 100% the right move for him IMO. It's literally the one challenge he may be unbeatable at outside of someone like CT who can just match him on brute strength. And then switching partners and dumping Aneesa was 100% the right call too; she's nothing but dead weight to him. She has almost zero clout politically anymore, and she sucks in almost all aspects of the actual challenges outside of puzzles. Her weaknesses vastly outweigh her strengths and it's not close.

That's why one season I'd love it if all the rookies came in together on the same page and made some big plays early against the vets. Even if it didn't pay off, it would be a smart move instead of sitting there being lied to by vets and waiting to be slowly picked off and sacrificed to the eliminations one by one. For as much as I can't stand Paulie sometimes, I feel like he tried to make moves like that at times. His problem was that he didn't have enough support because he was such a prick.
