Although Q initially wanted to volunteer to vote himself out of the game, his proposal was almost immediately rejected by the other contestants. Following a short deliberation, Q instructed his six other teammates to vote for Tevin.
This was done seemingly in a bid to not get any more blood on their hands as wasn't necessary. The voting itself went by in nail-biting moments as Tevin was ultimately blindsided and succumbed to Q's designs.
