Congrats Penny. Let us know how the running of the bulls is (or is that Mexico?)

Question is - what was your plan to convince Isaac to keep Lyn at F5, as that would be the best scenario for you?
I was not budging, so I think he just gave up.
I can just imagine Penny being chased by bulls in Pamplona, screaming to them to lay off because she'd already won immunity! Or being pelted with tomatoes at the Tomatina festival in Punol. However, as I think she's travelling through Basque country, let's hope it's not grenades that she has to dodge!
Keep us up to
date, Pen.
Simon, I guess that's a key question for me. As Isaac says, I really had no choice at that point. He would've voted for Lyn no matter what, and, had I not voted for Lyn, I would've lost the tie-breaker in a 2-2 tie. Naturally, he did what he felt was best for his game and he was freaking out over : 1) getting payback over Lyn, and 2) being out-numbered by Jared and me at F3.
However, still from his point of view, Isaac should've seen that an F3 of him, me and Jared still gave him the best chance of winning if he somehow managed to get into F2. I think he believed- erroneously, given the composition of the jury - that either Penny or myself would take him to F2.
What I think he failed to take into account was that, even in a game like this, he needed to have a bond and some level of trust with someone. And, given what had already transpired in the game, that someone had to be me. Sadly, by insisting on booting Lyn at F5, that level of trust was gone and I felt it removed any obligation on my part to take him to F2.
I'm grateful to Isaac for saying he would've voted for me if he had the chance but his absence in the finale was not only unlucky for him. It was also detrimental to my chances as well, given that he would've been able to present a different (and more accurate) account to the jury at Ponderosa of what had happened than what Lyn and Maj had been presenting.
