Cut - Monica Culpepper (27)

Did you see this coming? I'm gonna bet most of you (disregarding those who I've already mentioned this cut to) are somewhat confused as to why Monica is getting the ax over someone like Russell. Well, tbh, I WAS gonna cut Wendy, but since I struck a deal with someone to not cut her, I settled for Monica instead.

So, my main issue with Monica is that, despite her lovable mom-ness, the reason I'm cutting Monica is the same reason as to why she lost at FTC in her season; she was kind of Tyson's lapdog. While the single's alliance ran the game, Monica, herself, did not. There was just something about Monica that, every time I watched her in the post-merge when she had an opportunity to flip and make a move, I was like, "Monica WHY are you letting yourself get dragged to the end?" Despite her three (!!!) immunity wins, which is really impressive, people made fun of her behind her back, and as sweet as she is, it isn't hard to see why in the context of her game. In fact, she was so unlikely to flip on her alliance, that she was the one targeted by the minority, albeit this target being somewhat due to her immunities. I don't know. People who sit around and do nothing to salvage their strategic game, while KNOWNG she was looked down upon? I don't have respect for that,
