Before Nigel was eliminated, he sat down with Liv to ask if she was sure about choosing him in the recoupling. Nigel seemed suspicious due to Liv's body language, but Liv, annoyed by his questions, was in no mood for an explanation and seemed rather annoyed with Nigel's questions.
"It's going to be tough, I feel. Because I feel like you're regretting your decision. I feel like this whole situation right now is definitely, like, making me feel, like, weird, you know?," Nigel said.
"I understand where you're coming from with the fact that you just sent one of your best friends home. I get that, you know? Like, I feel terrible, as well. But I don't want you to feel as if, like, you made the wrong decision because, like, that's just from your body language. Like, that's just the energy you're giving me," Nigel added.
But an annoyed Liv shared in her confessional how Nigel's point of view made her angry. "Literally, what the fuck? That makes me feel a little bit annoyed. They're not easy decisions and how someone reacts in that moment I don't think should be taken to heart," she said.
"I had to make a hard decision. Why are you nitpicking at it now? I just chose you. At the end of the day, I had to make a decision. I never meant to make you feel like that. But I'm not going to put on a face as if everything's fine because it's not. My friend went home. I am upset. It's nothing towards you. Okay?" she added.
