LOVE IT.

We received a tree mail about balancing balls.
Great.
Everyone knows I am the clumsiest bitch in the word. Hahaha.
Apparently we have to hold a round disc about the size of a record, with a ball on it that is to be balanced as we navigate an obstacle course. If at any time the ball falls off, we must start back at the beginning. WHoever completes it in the fastest time wins immunity.
Amazing. I work as a waiter, so I feel like I have this in the bag.
It's in an hour. Pray for me. Pray that Joe or Britti get diarrhea.

So Joe went first and completed the course in six minutes and seventeen seconds. He dropped twice and had to start over. I went next and although I didn't drop the ball at all, I took quite a while because I was moving so cautiously. I completed the course in four minutes and twelve seconds. Stephen moved very quickly and almost got to the end, but dropped it and had to start over. He ended up finishing in four minutes and forty-three seconds. Britti dropped the ball right at the beginning and quickly started again, and ended up finishing the course in four minutes and ten seconds, winning immunity. We all clapped, and I think we all meant it when we said congratulations.
Obviously Stephen and I had to vote for Joe. At least, I felt like that was still obvious. Perhaps Stephen will forget what we decided earlier and take the grab at final three.
We were sitting and eating our supper and Stephen got up to go to the bathroom and Britti quickly followed him. I assume she and Joe had planned to convince him to vote for me. Joe slid over to talk to me. He said he figured that Stephen and I were voting for him. I asked him why he assumed that, and pretended like I thought the three of US were voting for Stephen, as they had always wanted to. I figured it was a believable lie. They had, in fact, wanted him gone a few votes ago.
We did a little chat dance around what we were both REALLY going to do, and then Britti and Stephen came back. We didn't discuss anything after that.
On the way to tribal council I tripped and fell and only Joe came to see if I was okay. Britti and Stephen looked annoyed that I was holding up tribal council, and immediately I figured I was a goner.
We were all asked a series of questions about the game so far and each other, but all had diplomatic answers. I felt sweaty as the vote began, and I felt like I could hear the music that would play when it was aired on tv. I got to the station to vote and wrote Joe's name with a sad face.
All of the votes were read, and it was two votes for me and two votes for Joe! A little wrinkle of hope crept into my gut. Stephen had come through!!
It went to a revote, with only Britti and Stephen voting again. Joe and I looked at each other and he seemed more confused that I was.
When the votes were read again, they were BOTH for Joe! I almost puked happiness into my mouth.\
Joe looked at Britti and stared for a few seconds before getting up and having his torch snuffed. Then he looked at her again and backed away from the tribal council set and into the woods. He never stopped staring at her unti he faded into the darkness down the path.
It was really creepy and I felt like if I made it to the final two, that I just might get Joe's vote.

EPISODE FOURTEEN
We awoke and had a really fun breakfast, where we agreed not to talk about the game. We did have a good laugh over Britti and I finally confessing to having nicked Stephen's alcohol.
We had a long nap after that (since we'd had such a rough day), and woke up when the host visited us at camp and informed us we would have to do a rites of passage. The map we were given indicated the order in which we had to visit each of the former contestants' snuffed torches.
I let Stephen and Britti do most of the talking, not because I didn't have anything good to say, but because I have trouble fitting it into a nice sound bite for the cameras.
After we reached Joe's torch and collected the last of their name plates, we burned them in a giant bonfire, and it kind of reminded me of a sacrifice. Like the Wicker Man. I could have sworn I heard a faint voice cry 'help me' from the inferno.
When we got back to our camp there was champagne and fruits and breads waiting for us. It was amazing.
There was also a last treemail, and it spoke about reflexes.
Great.

We were led into a clearing in the middle of the woods that none of us had ever noticed before. There were three giant Plinko-looking boards set up, each with a picture of us painted on them. The host told us that we would start by dropping a chip into a slot, which was then whizzed up a chute and released at the top of the board. We had to stand at the bottom and catch it when it fell out. I thought that would be easy enough, but then he said after a period of fifteen minutes, if it was still going on the a second chip would come into play, and then a third after fifteen minutes more, giving us less time between chips to catch them and drop them in the slot. If we timed everything well, we could get more and more chips until someone dropped one. I felt like we would all be out during the second chip.
I was.
Stephen and Britti made it to the third chip. I don't now how they could focus that closely on the chips for so long. They did an amazing job. I was very impressed by the both of them and kept telling them so.
The challenge was finally won by Britti, who somehow made an amazing double catch, one in each hand, when two of her chips caught up to each other. Stephen was distracted by something and one of his chips fell to the forest floor.
I was sad for Stephen. Britti and I had been allies for almost the entire game. He and I could really do nothing except wait to see what Britti decided. Instead of stressing about it or trying to fight to make the finals by pleading our cases to Britti, we decided to enjoy the last evening together as a trio and let everything happen afterward at tribal council.

At tribal council we were asked a bunch of questions about the challenge, and about how we spent our time between the challenge and this tribal council. Most of the attention was on Britti, since it was she who would decide who the final two would be. She left to go cast her vote, and Stephen and I nodded to one another, neither having hard feelings. [9:56:52 PM] Allan: It's the final three and you have won immunity. The only people left are Stephen and I. You have chosen to vote out me. I want to know what you would sadly say during your vote, when the camera shows you holding up my name [9:57:10 PM] Britti : wtf LOL i would vote you out like the assshole I am. [9:57:50 PM] Britti : "Sorry Allan, but Stephen brought alcohol." [9:57:51 PM] Britti : [9:57:52 PM] Britti : LOL [9:58:02 PM] Allan: UGH! [9:58:03 PM] Allan: Hahaha [9:58:10 PM] Britti : love youuuuu [9:58:12 PM] Allan: This leaves you and he in the F2 [9:58:16 PM] Britti : do i get to win? We shall see...

FINAL EPISODE
The jury consists of seven people: myself, Joe, Matt, Zack, Adrian, Ricky, and Brenda. Three of them had been medically evacuated, which is a first for this series. They have all since received medical attention and will be fine. Brenda's arm is in a cast and sling, and Matt and Zack have gotten some strength back. We are all in a cabin on an island across the strait. It's actually really fun here. The place is huge and we are given such good food. Maybe it's only average but after surviving so long on often-burned fish and rice, it seems regal.
Tomorrow we have to go ask them questions and decide who we want to win. I honestly do not know right now.

So my question to Stephen and Britti was more of a request, and it was to describe what move during the game, theirs or otherwise, was the most influential on getting them to the endgame. I don't really have any animosity toward the final two, so I can leave the bitchiness to the others. I cast my vote for Britti, because during most of the game she was my ally and the memories of this game, at least in my mind, always include her, so it felt right. I voted for Britti. Joe voted for Britti. Adrian voted for Stephen. Matt voted for Stephen. Ricky voted for Britti. Brenda voted for Stephen. and Zack voted for... ..................... ............................ ....................... ...................... ................... ................... .................................. BRITTI!!!!!!!!!!!Congratulations, Britti!!! You are the winner!! Everyone is so jealous and you should love it all!! Well deserved!!! Everyone tell Britti how happy you are for her!! Stephen you came in second place!! I know that makes you sad, but it's something to be proud of!! Great season, everyone!!
