So I actually started the challenge off really well! I swam out quickly, as did Brenda and Tom. We all got back with our keys and arrived in the woods at the boxes right when Stephen was leaving. I had the most trouble with unknotting the box at the top of the podium.
Terrible news - Brenda fell off the podium and broke her arm and medical had to come and take her out of the game. It was so sad. The game paused and a few people cried and hugged her goodbye. Then we were taken back to our spots we were at before it paused and it was restarted. It was very close. Stephen, Tom, Matt, Zack, and I were all running down the beach to our safes and we raced to unlock them with our keys, each hoping to be the first to unlock one for a cape.

So Matt ended up winning immunity and we had only a couple of hours before we had to go to tribal council to vote. Stephen still had his message in a bottle to bring with him for after the vote. I want to know what would happen if we vote HIM out. He would probably just be asked to give the bottle to someone else.
I spoke with Britti and Joe and they wanted to vote for Adrian, so the pair of he and Stephen would be split up. I didn't really want to do that just yet, because there are other people out there who would go after me before Stephen would. At least I think so.
I am planning on voting for Tom, seeing as everyone likes him and he is an immunity threat. This means I will have to vote separately from my alliance, but hopefully the vote will be in line with other peoples' votes and he will go home.

So tribal council...yeah...
I voted for TOM, and only one other person did as well. Now he is still here and knows people voted for him and are after him. It's not gonna be hard to guess who did it, either. Yikes.
The votes were as follows:
TOM - 1 ME - 3 STEPHEN - 2 RICKY - 3
UGH!! Seriously?? It had to go to a revote, with Ricky and I not being allowed to vote.
LUCKILY the votes ended up being 4-3 and Ricky went home. Phew. I don't know why anyone was targeting Ricky OR me, so I need to find out. I wonder if Ricky knows? Ah well, at least Ricky won't be bitter toward me if I make the end and he is on the jury.
After a few minutes and a lot of choice words from Ricky as he departed the TC area, the game resumed with Stephen opening his bottle.
The message inside read that another vote was to be held immediately, without time for discussion and without time to strategize. I looked at Britti and Joe and they kinda nodded toward Stephen.
The message was not finished. It ended by saying that the holder of the bottle is the only person who is immune!
I looked at Britti and Joe again and they rolled their eyes and shrugged. We had to vote.
I had no idea who to vote for, and there was no time to make sure it wasn't me. This was gonna be a tricky one, since I had the second most votes a few moments earlier!

I voted for Adrian. NOT because I want to him to go above anyone else, but because I feel like Britti and Joe will vote for him because he is Stephen's number one ally, and Stephen is immune. Here's hoping I can stay..

A11an got a boner for Stephen this morning when he was swimming around in his underwear. I think A11an got embarrassed and tried to hide it, hoping that nobody would notice... but I did. He then tried to hide his boner in a burrow in one of the trees near camp and that's when I heard it!
There was a familiar clanging sound of wood on wood. The idol was in that burrow all along! I have been searching for that damned thing all season long and would not have found it, had it not been violated by A11an Fogg. I had to wait for him to finish pretending to inspect how sturdy the tree was by "leaning" against it with "all of his weight". I couldn't have found it at a better time either. A11an and Britti have been acting weird for a while now.
I think I am next on the chopping block, so I guess I will be playing it tonight at tribal council. I think now is the time to upset the status quo and vote for A11an. I think it will expose some cracks in this tribe for all to see.
Woa... no sooner did I finish mentioning cracks and A11an is running back to his boner tree to hide his shame again...

So the votes are read aloud and were as follows:
Me - 2 Joe - 2 Adrian - 4
Adrian stands up, suddenly and pulls a stick out from somewhere I don't wanna know and hands it in, saying it is the hidden immunity idol!! The rest of us look around and gasp in shock. Joe's mouth is agape as he wonders whether or not this means he is going home.
Zack is smiling and for a moment I think he and Adrian are in cahoots, but the host takes it and looks at it and throws it into the fire!! He stares at Adrian and says, "That's just a stick."
Zack admits to having hidden a piece of wood he carved and decorated with berry juice and everyone exhales. Even Tom.
Adrian leaves with grace. Sorta.

EPISODE TWELVE
This morning I woke up with an iBoner for Stephen. I hope he didn't see.
Also, Joe and Britti slept a little too close together last night for my liking. I feel like I am the third wheel again. Soon, my people...soon...

I feel a little weak today. I don't know why. It's almost like what I felt when Lorii and Rob were poisoned with whatever it was they got evacuated for. I am gonna boil my own water today and see how other people are feeling. Right now I thnk I am going to go throw up.
Matt is eating some fish with Zack over by the firepit. Britti is off in the jungle with Joe (hmmmm). Tom is in the ocean doing whatever training he feels he needs to. Stephen has been staring at a drawing he made of Adrian yesterday. I am giving him some alone time.
I am running into the bushes to throw up in privacy, and I hear Britti and Joe. It sounds like...no...they wouldn't...hes...no I have to be mistaken...there's no way...with us right here.....

I wasn't sure what to do. They had to have heard me barfing. After I finished and the nausea passed, I stumbled my way back to camp to boil water and rehydrate. I grabbed the pot and went to the well. On the walk I wondered what to do with this new information. Do I confront them? Does it even matter? Good for them, right? I scooped some well water and went to the fire, where I waited for it to boil. Ugh. I was impatient and had barf breath, so I walked a bit and Joe caught up with me. [12:11:21 AM] Allan: JOE [12:11:24 AM] Allan: what are you doing? [12:12:01 AM] Joe: I had to poop [12:12:04 AM] Joe: I'm sorry [12:12:11 AM] Allan: It's okay! Hahaha [12:12:16 AM] Allan: I always bail on Sassy to poop [12:12:18 AM] Joe: I poop twice a day [12:12:26 AM] Joe: Usually in the morning and evening [12:12:31 AM] Joe: Yay for being regular [12:12:44 AM] Allan: OMG Can I please post this convo in my confessional [12:13:05 AM] Allan: I could actually poop again. I didn't feel satisfied after the last one [12:13:27 AM] Joe: Lmao sure So he didn't sill the beans about what he and Britti were really doing, and I believe I need to find a final two person elsewhere. Matt, maybe? He and I have always gotten along, adn I don't think he has voted for me. At least I hope not. Maybe Stephen? Nah, he won before. But maybe... Tom? I don't think I could beat him. With people and their evacuations, who knows who will even be on the jury at this point. Zack? I dunno. The way he was smiling at Adrian's fake idol made me uncomfortable.

We got a treemail about the next immunity challenge. It is going to be an endurance challenge. I rolled my eyes, and got annoyed, but then realized there is actually nothing better to do, so why want a challenge over quickly? Matt and Zack are looking terrible, and I think something is plaguing us, and it has to do with the cooking. I used my own pot of boiled water and do not feel sick anymore. I have been hydrating ever since I vomited and now I feel better.
I have decided to take a nap and then have a short jog to warm up for the endurance challenge. I hope it's not a balancing one.

So much has happened...
For the endurance challenge, we had to hang from a large log over a river in the woods. Production had cut and shaped the log so that each of us had the same size 'rung' to hold on to. The first half hour seemed like a year, and nobody let go, although Zack and Matt each threw up once.
After another twenty minutes, Matt fell into the river and did not resurface. A crew dove in after him and fished him out of the river, but had to resuscitate him. He was removed from the game so they could discover what happened to him. If it was simply dehydration we would know, so it must have been something else. Fifteen minutes later, the same thing happened to Zack. They did not resuscitate him as quickly, and when they finally did, they took him away by helicopter. I am afraid for them both.
That left me, Tom, Joe, Britti, and Stephen hanging on. We kept waiting for the first of us to let go, but no one did. I thought the host would offer us treats or a reward for letting go, but that didn't happen either. I really wanted to win immunity since my name had come up a lot recently, so I dug as deep as I could.
Joe let go first, after a time of one hour and twenty two minutes. When the host said how long we had been there I suddenly felt a lot weaker and slipped a little, but managed to regain a grip. Stephen let go next and as he fell I just felt my body give out and I fell too.
Joe and Britti were left on the log, looking at each other and smiling. Britti nodded and Joe let go willingly. Like, wtf!? One of them needs to go.
Once we got back to camp, we were all trying to relax and rub our sore muscles and take a breather before we went to tribal council. About half an hour before we were to go into tribal council we had someone from production come into our camp and have a talk with us. This was totally outside protocol, so we were all interested and excited about what it was.
They said that after reviewing a lot of the footage, they discovered that someone in our group had been poisoning the water supply and food for over a week now. That person was going to be removed from the game and brought up on charges immediately.

Right before the security people arrived to escort the guilty party off the island, Tom jumped up and ran into the woods!!
The production team told us to stay put and that Tom would be apprehended as fast as possible.
Tom? Like our Tom? Seriously? No way!
Security arrived with local law enforcement and pursued Tom into the bushes. After about fifteen minutes, they led him struggling out of the woods and past our camp toward the police boat on the beach.
He kept shouting, "Fifth place!! All I wanted was fifth place!! They can vote me out right now!!"
Production informed him that due to his criminal activity, he was disqualified from the game, and that due to the multiple medical evacuations, there would BE NO FIFTH PLACE this series. It will simply NOT exist!
Britti, Joe, Stephen, and I looked form one another completely dumbfounded at the events taking place.
We were told tribal council would be cancelled, and that we had the night free. Production gave us a feast of food to make us feel better, and included were twelve bottles of beer.
Finally alone, we cheersed to the final four.

EPISODE THIRTEEN
Stephen pulled me aside early in the morning, while Joe and Britti slept. Since there were only four of us left, the shelter felt huge, and we all had our own little areas. Stephen and I went to boil water for breakfast and took the time to chat.
He told me he had noticed how close Joe and Britti had gotten, and knew there was no way they were voting separately. Both of us recognized that it'd be easy to jump with them and vote each other out, but neither of us wanted to play that way, so we had to plan for a tie. We both had little experience at fire-making, so we decided to practice, under the guise of wanting a second firepit at camp. We will just tell them we wanted to live in as much luxury as we could make out of the final days.
Gahhh!! Here's hoping for a little luck.
