Week 4: Nomination Ceremony - HOH Penelope Amari

Sidney, you kept me safe when you were HOH

Tatum, you kept me safe when you were HOH

Mindy, you hung out late in the endurance comp, I want to reward you for that with safety

Kia, you just survived the block, you deserve a break

Clear, you kept me safe when you were HOH

Luba, you're good vibes to have around and I feel like I'm the reason we don't talk as much

Tree, you kept me safe when you were HOH

Samara, I like getting bullied by you so you're safe

Carrie, you deserve a break for a round. I don't want to take the easy out and put you up

Thomasin, your pitch to me was very good and I went back and forth on nominating you. I do like you so this is purely a game move. I do believe you that we could work together, but I feel like you're playing this game where you are in defensive mode. This is scary when the person is not only good in challenges, but also great with words. You managed to escape a backdoor last round in a masterful way. I didn't really understand all that went down, but I do get the sense that Rhonda was trying to give you a heads up and you turned it around on her. That part doesn't make me feel safe if you ever have to turn the tables on me and you have the power of persuasion on your side. Me feeling like a piece of shit right now is a testament to just how well you work. You're a big jury threat and I'm still wavering to nominate you based on how much I like you. I don't want to backdoor you though. I want you to have the chance to save yourself.

Sheila, you're on the block because I have to nominate three players and I know that a veto was used on you so it would make sense that you could use it as well if you were off the block and won it. I know me saying it's not personal and I like you sounds pretty irrelevant right now, but I do.

Nancy, Nancy, Nancy. When you approached me and told me that you were suspicious of me being the killer, I enjoyed your up front energy. I felt like we were on that level. After the last round, it's become clear to me that you're a messy boots and that you do a lot behind the scenes. I don't know if any of it is necessarily against me right now, but I feel like it's just a matter of time before I'm a victim of it too. I do believe some of what you told me, but I do believe you had a hand in all the mess from last round. You and Thomasin want each other out, this way you can duke it out on the block.
