All because Fessy whispered to her that he wanted to go against Nelson himself.
“We all knew why I was down there.
And everyone all realized how messy Fessy was doing me.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I’m so sorry you were eliminated like that, Nelson.
That was not an easy one to watch.NELSON THOMAS:I wish we were talking about something else.
How does it feel?”
MTV
[Laughs] I cannot wait until we can do that.
I am manifesting that.
I haven’t spoken to Fessy since that day I left the battleground.
Fessy and I were actually friends outside the game.
I considered him family, and you know how I’m ride-or-die for my family no matter what.
So for him to do that, it made me really think about this game.
I had to question myself, “Nelson, are you too loyal in this game?
Is what I’m doing wrong?
I just don’t see how anybody can just do that to a person they care about.
I’m trying to learn to forgive, but I won’t forget.
I’m still upset about it.
I have no reason to talk to the guy at all.
He reached out to me on my birthday.
He had the nerve to text me, “Happy birthday, Nelson.
I apologize for what I did.
If I can take it back, I would.
I was in the moment, I wasn’t thinking.”
I have that text message still saved in my phone.
I contemplated about texting him back.
And I was like, “Nelson, you oughta let this go.”
But it’s heartbreaking.
So ultimately I did not reply.
And I’m like, bro, hold up.
We were just cheers-ing a beer together, talking about living together in Miami.
Me and you had plans!
Now you’re just lying.
You admitted it on the show that your alliance was Josh, Cory, and then me.
A lot of people don’t know this, but I defended him.
I was in a room with Leroy, Kam was there all the time, Jay, and Josh.
They wanted to throw Fessy in against CT right off the jump.
I was going to battle for him.
Even Leroy questioned me like, “Are you sure?”
Even Kam was like, “Do you trust this man?Think about it.”
She’s always said I had bad intuition.
I said, “I got him, and he got me.”
I kept him out of elimination.
And so for him to send himself down there against me and not even give me a heads-up?
And he said, “Yes, let’s go down there, let’s go to war.”
Fessy knew it, Fessy had no reason to throw himself down there.
He’s trying to say, “I was trying to protect a friend.”
What about your other friend?
“If one of my friends had to go home, I want it to be me.”
That was your excuse, bro?!
But then he’s looking at me in my eyes saying he wants to go.
So I don’t know who was lying and who was not.
And for Tori to play like she did, that was mind-blowing.
I knew the entire time that Fessy and Tori had something going on.
We all knew it in the house.
Everybody knew they were flirting and they had something going on and it was more than just friends.
Tori, come on, I’m your friend.
This guy is just trying to get in your pants.”
That was very upsetting to me.
And excuse my language, I’m getting frustrated even thinking about it now.
It was definitely out of character for Tori.
She chose a guy over me and I had her back the entire time.
This game is crazy.
And Fessy was paint on the wall last season.
He didn’t say much.
Nobody in this game is ever going to trust you again.
He preaches sports all the time, 24/7 talking about college ball.
But, bro, we were a team.
Where was your loyalty there?
He didn’t even have the balls to tell Josh.
It was a big argument because Fessy didn’t keep his word.
We forgave him for that, thinking it was a mistake.
But that just means his word doesn’t mean s—.
He showed his true colors this season.
Everybody sees he’s selfish as s—.
He’ll call you his friend and then backstab you the next moment.
And I’m like, “This is not happening to me again.”
But I knew in my head that I could beat Josh.
And I told Cory and Fessy that I can barely make a fist right now.
Fessy knew about it!
It makes me f—ing pissed.
I was emotionally f—ed.
I was not in the zone anymore.
I didn’t know what to think.
My head was not even in the game.
The whole time I was like, “Nelson, you’re so f—ing dumb.
You’re so stupid.
This man just backstabbed you and now you’re in a Hall Brawl with him?!”
But I watched the episode and I was so close to winning the first one.
That first round looked extremely tough.
What happened in there?He was playing dirty as hell.
because I’m going in there with a dislocated finger and he knew this s—.
That’s what’s even more upsetting.
He will do anything to win.
We are not friends.
And when it comes to this game, you best believe you have a target on your back.
You better watch your back.
I didn’t realize how dirty he got until I was watching it back over again.
No matter how dirty a game is, I would never do that.
He crossed a line there.
If I’m talking to you outside the game, maybe I’m too open-armed to people.
Maybe my kindness, people take that as weakness a little bit?
I’m not going to trust people next season.
I’m not going to be this kind.
I would never sit there and do what Fessy did to one of my friends, ever.
It’s a lesson learned, for real.
I hope Fessy gets what he deserves because he lost a friend and showed his true colors.
I hope it was worth it for him.
But you could be a hero and win this game.
You don’t have to do what Fessy did to win.
