Trey wakes up, rolls over, looks around, sits up with a start. I just realized Pierre never came back to camp. Trey quietly gets up puts on his Sunday modest clothes, makes sure the fire is out, puts on his backpack and goes into the jungle looking for Pierre. How stupid, not to realize he wasn't here all day, though I don't blame him.

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy wakes up and notices that Trey and Pierre don't seem to be anywhere. "Hmmmmm, that's strange." "I wonder if they are working on the playground," she thinks to herself. She dresses in her blue beach coverup dress and puts on her sandals. After drinking a little water, she walks over to the new playground.

Pierre and Trey are not there. She looks around, but doesn't see or hear them.

09:27
Jun 17, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Finally, Mandy decides to go and gather food. She takes along one of the empty oatmeal barrels and walks along the path to where the orange trees are. She sees that there are three oranges that look ripe enough to pick, so she picks them. On down the path are the banana trees, but none of the bunches look ripe enough yet. One lone lime is ripe enough on the lime tree, so she picks that too. She then decides to return to camp. She places the three oranges and the lime onto the table. She then goes to her backpack and pulls out the deck of cards. She decides to play solitaire under a shade tree...

From Colleen

The morning begins with the islander voices singing and joyously chanting their praises to God. Their enchanting music fills the air and fills the players with a sense of wonder and perhaps a little peace. It is a subtle reminder somehow that perhaps there is a plan or a reason for everything....

No rain today, but the sky is grey and overcast. It's 86 degrees with a high heat index of 97. Watch that sun today! just because you can't see it doesn't mean it's not there giving you sunburns.... No breeze to speak of on your side ofthe island so you are simply ROASTING today... the slightest task has you tired, hot and sweating buckets...

10:26

Mandy Estelletia

Mandy grows tired of playing solitaire. It is so hot! She goes over to the supplies and puts sunblock all over her arms, legs, and face. She then puts on her straw hat and sunglasses and fills a canteen with water. She decides to explore the forest a bit. She heads in the direction of the stream...

As she walks, she thinks about home. Today is Father's Day and she wonders what her dad is doing today. Usually, they have a family picnic at a nearby park. She can almost smell the hotdogs cooking on the grill as she thinks of her dad making them. A smile comes to her face as she imagines the laughing and playing going on today. Then she feels a bit sad when she realizes how much she misses everyone...

15:29
Jun 17, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy walks along the side of the stream and enjoys the day, even though it is very, very hot. It is so peaceful today. The birds are singing and the world looks so green and lush. She picks up a pebble and tries to skip it across the surface of the water like her dad does...it just plops down in the water. She giggles...

15:31
Jun 17, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

As Mandy walks along, she thinks about the new tribe. The camp has been so quiet today. Everyone is off exploring, she guesses. When it cools off a bit this evening, she wants to play soccer with Trey. It will be fun. It is just too hot to do that right now.

She stops to take a drink of water from the canteen. "Boy, it is so hot!" she thinks as she wipes her brow. "I think I'd better head back to camp."...

15:34
Jun 17, 2001

Aggie

"Is anyone here?"

Aggie wants to go swimming and play dolphins with meggie. :(

18:04
Jun 17, 2001

As it starts to get dark, Lola yawns. She has spent most of the day reading, studying her survival guide and her book. It's so quiet around the camp, she decides to go to bed. "Good night everyone." Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

23:59
Jun 17, 2001

Lolli

walks into camp...very flushed and hot looking...boy! it is sure hot around here! smiles...wonder how Daddy's day went? Wonder if Mommy figured out how to start the grill by herself yet? :) LOL! Wonder if she had to have Grandpa tell her how to do it over the phone again! She can really be pitiful sometimes!! LOL! Looks around at the camp...doesn't see any one, so she goes into the shelter and grabs Teddy and crawls on top of her sleeping bag...and tries to get some sleep

00:01
Jun 18, 2001

Trey comes back to camp. He still hasn't seen Pierre who seems to be AWOL.

He feels bad that he didn't play soccer with Mandy today. But he's really worried about Pierre. He goes down to the beach knells down and says a prayer for Pierre, Meggie, all his tribemates, and a really long prayer for his family, especially today, Fathers day.

He gets up shake out his sleeping bag, and lays it down by the others. Sweet Dreams.

00:56
Jun 18, 2001

From Colleen

deep in the middle of the night, when the fire has died down a little and most of the light comes from the moon as it shimmers a reflection on the water... you hear growling and barking of the wild dogs.. You huddle under your blankets remembering the wild look in their eyes when they came to camp before, but as you hear their howls and growls moving farther into the jungle you relax and exhale that breath you'd been holding. Whether the producers chased them away, or the dogs just changed direction, you are just grateful the camp is safe tonight.

03:31
Jun 18, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

(Uh, Ms. Colleen...it was Sunday...no fire. :o) ) Mandy awakens and remembers the wild dogs snarling and growling in the distance. She shivers at the thought...They are such scary and dangerous creatures. She gets up and looks around. She counts heads...1..2..3..4..5..6, including herself...Pierre still seems to not be in the shelter. "I sure hope he is okay," she thinks as she gets going for the day. "He seems like such a nice kid."

She dresses in her Ocono colored swim suit and readies herself for today's challenge. She is not the best swimmer, but she is determined to win those swimming flippers. They would be fun for all the Li'l ones to play with! Mandy grabs the empty water jugs and walks to the stream. It is a warm day, so she runs downstream to the bathing area and jumps in for a short swim. She doesn't want to exert too much energy...need to save that for the real swimming later. Jumping back out, refreshed, she goes back and fills the water jugs and returns to camp. She hooks up an empty jug to one of the now full ones with the pump and starts pumping up and down on the lever to purify the water. "Boy is this a lot of work!" she thinks. "I'm not too sure I don't like the old boiling method better..."

06:55
Jun 18, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy finally finishes purifying one jug and starts the process on the second...Eventually, she finishes the process and pours both clean jugs of water into the storage tank.

She skips down the other path to the banana tree and is delighted to see quite a large bunch of bananas up in the tree. Unfortunately, it is really high! She tries to climb up the tree, but those bananas are just too high up there. She sighs...she walks on and finally sees a tree that she can reach a bundle of three bananas from. She walks back to camp to make oatmeal with bananas in it. She scoops out her 1/4 cup of oatmeal and heats up a little water. She hates cold oatmeal, so she wants to warm the water a bit. Finally, it boils. She pours it into a bowl with her oatmeal. She then chops up one banana and adds it to the oatmeal. She stirs it up...Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmm...tasty!

07:00
Jun 18, 2001

Trey wakes up, rolls over, looks around. The dogs didn't make it to camp last night.

He gets up, puts on his swimsuit and puts some firewood into the firepit. Thinks about the traps, and drags Pierres lobster trap back out to the water and ties it off. Then He puts back in the 2 sticks that hold the fish into Mandy's trap. Yuck, now it's time to battle the fire. He kneals down by the fire and starts working on getting it restarted.

07:03
Jun 18, 2001

Trey

"Mandy, don't scare me like that. Wow you do wake up with the birds. Just like me and Meggie. :( Did you start a fire somewhere else? That is cool if so cause I hate starting fires. Can you help me with this one? I whispered to Ms Colleen about the fires too. I think she was just testing us :)"

07:08
Jun 18, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

After breakfast, it seems that no one is awake still...so, Mandy walks down to the water and checks her fish trap. She sees that Trey moved the sticks from the entrance, so she closes the trap again, to catch fish. Ironically, one little fish is swimming inside the trap, even with it having not been enclosed. She decides to leave it there for now..."Maybe his friends will join him for dinner," she thinks.

Mandy quietly slips back into camp and grabs the horseshoe game. She carries it down to the beach and plays with it.

07:17
Jun 18, 2001

Trey thinks to himself,

"I guess Mandy is really mad at me cause I she just totally ignored me. He is still trying to get the fire started. He finally gives up and grabs a piece of fruit. Maybe someone else is a good fire starter, I just don't want to use the matches till we really NEED them. He puts on his backpack and heads out looking for Pierre. Pierre is a tough kid but noone wants to face those dogs alone. He is hoping he finds Pierre soon.

07:26
Jun 18, 2001

Briene

She crawls out of the shelter and stretches from head to toe. Sleeping on the ground isn't as much fun as she thought it would be. Once again the view of the beach takes her breath away! She gets her personal items and the soap and shampoo from the supplies and heads to the stream to wash up.

She is a little nervous about the wild dogs from the night before and looks around a lot and listens carefully for odd noises.

09:59
Jun 18, 2001

Aggie wakes and decides to go and get a banana for breakfast and look for Pierre.

"I am reay gonna look everywhere for Cher, I sure do miss him!"

Aggie heads off, worrying about the dogs from last night.

10:23
Jun 18, 2001

from Colleen

(I just thought there was a fire from the light reflected off venus caught in the condensation in the air (or something) anyway, there are light showers off and on today, but it's actually quite cooling. It's only 84 degrees and the humidity is not nearly as bad as over the weekend. The sky is cloudy and the only time you get a breeze is out in the water there is some light wind.

11:56
Jun 18, 2001

Pierre

( Due to technical difficulty Pierre has been off line the last few days. He is back though.)

11:57
Jun 18, 2001

Briene

She comes back to camp humming a little tune. Getting cleaned up has lifted her spirits. She puts away the soap and shampoo in the supply area. Then she cooks a little oatmeal and sits by the fire to eat it slowly.

11:57
Jun 18, 2001

Pierre

Wakes up and gets a pice of fruit and a vitamin. He then walks to check on the traps.

12:02
Jun 18, 2001

Lola wakes up and heads for the water to wash up. "Good morning, kids!" she calls. She takes one of the bananas that Mandy brought back and peels it, then grabs the gloves to head for the woods in search of taro. "Hey, anyone want to come with me?"

12:04
Jun 18, 2001

Pierre

Hi Petite Cher! I have missed you too.

12:08
Jun 18, 2001

Lola shrugs.

"Guess everyone is busy. Well, I will go look for taro by myself." She heads into the woods, humming under her breath. She is looking forward to the swimming challenge because it will be a way to cool off in the water, not something hot like running.

12:21
Jun 18, 2001

Briene

Cleans up after finishing her oatmeal and takes a vitamin. It's important to keep yourself healthy out here. She goes down the beach to the water to explore.

12:33
Jun 18, 2001

from Colleen

I still need numbers from 2 playuers so the reward challenge will not be run for today, didn't want anyone keeping their hopes up :) I will run it at noon of any given day that I have everyone's numbers...so maybe tomorrow...

14:04
Jun 18, 2001

Pierre

Hey I only have three lobsters and just a dozen or so crawfish. I will bring them in when it is near time to eat.

15:02
Jun 18, 2001

Lola returns from the woods with a handful of taro. "Hi Pierre. Lobsters and crawfish sound great. Maybe I could mash up some taro and flavor it with the spices as a side dish. I'm glad to see you back. We were worried about you."

15:59
Jun 18, 2001

from Colleen

I have all the numbers, I can run the reward challenge now (to be enjoyed tonight and tomorrow morning) or I can wait and run it tomorrow noon. let me know your preferences folks, thanks!

17:16
Jun 18, 2001

Briene

Comes back to camp from the beach with a few shells in her hand. She looks around camp and sees that no one is around. Sure has been boring around here lately. She pokes at the fire to keep it going, adding a few sticks. Not sure about where to go looking for more wood and afraid she might get lost, she heads over to the Trey's playground to hang out.

17:16
Jun 18, 2001

Briene sees that the producers have left something nice in the playground for the kids, a long plank of wood, sanded...

17:42
Jun 18, 2001

Pierre

Brings into camp his traps. There when ever some one feels like it they can start supper. I need to go out into the woods for a while and look for fruit.

17:49
Jun 18, 2001

Pierre

I wish there were more but all I could catch was three laobsters and a doeb crawfish.

17:50
Jun 18, 2001

Aggie runs over to giv Pierre a hug.

"Gosh, Cher, I was so worried about you! hose dogscame back last night and.... Oh, I am just happy your back!"

17:58
Jun 18, 2001

Lolli

PIERRE!!! You are okay!!! I was sooo worried about you!! At least you are home now! I am going to go out and see if I can catch any fish (smiles) I'm not expecting to (smiles again) I just want an excuse to go swimming!!!

heads to the shelter to get her swimming suit...gives Teddy a quick hug before she heads for the water

19:07
Jun 18, 2001

Lola

"Anyone hungry yet? If so, I will start cooking the lobster and crawfish."

19:38
Jun 18, 2001

from Colleen

I will run the reward challenge early tomorrow morning, and the winner can email me after I post it and I'll give them instructions on how to enjoy their reward...

the next immunity challenge will be run wednesday with tribal council on thursday

19:45
Jun 18, 2001

Trey comes back to camp looking disappointed, he still can't find Pierre. He knows he can take care of himself but I need to know he is OK.

He sees Lola cooking dinner. "Hi Lola, can I help with dinner? If you want to relax I can cook. Just let me wash my hands. They are plain ol yucky."

20:43
Jun 18, 2001

Aggie

"Want some help, Lola?"

20:52
Jun 18, 2001

Lola smiles from the pot.

"Hi Trey. Thanks for your offer to help. I've got the lobster and crawfish under control. But if you want to mash up that taro and add some spices to it, it would make a good side dish."

20:53
Jun 18, 2001

Lola adds, "Don't worry about Pierre. I saw him earlier and he's fine. By the way, the playground is looking great."

20:54
Jun 18, 2001

Aggie

"Smells great Lola!"

21:03
Jun 18, 2001

from Colleen

as the kids move around the camp preparing dinner, they see a creature entering the lagoon and making himself at home. You can't be sure since he is a little ways out, but it appears to be a shark!

21:10
Jun 18, 2001

Trey

"Ok Lola, I can handle to Taro. It is nice having extra pots, right Aggie? What did ya'll do today?"

"I'm so happy to here Pierre has bben here and is safe. It just isn't like him to disappear like that, being that he is a nurturer and provider. But everyone needs a break especially after Friday night."

21:12
Jun 18, 2001

Trey

"Hey, what that out there?" pointing to the ocean. "Is anyone out there swimming?"

21:14
Jun 18, 2001

Trey runs to the beach and yells "Everybody, out of the water!" It doesn't really look like a shark but its better to be safe than sorry.

21:16
Jun 18, 2001

Briene

"Sorry to be a party-pooper, but I am going to bed now. I need to rest up for the challenge tomorrow. Swimming is not my strong sport. I love the water, but I'm no fish." (laughing) She goes to the shelter and snuggles down with her lucky Troll Charlie.

21:52
Jun 18, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Oh my gosh, Trey!" "Didn't Lolli say she was going to go swimming for fish?" "Please, you've got to find her!" says Mandy while panicing.

She runs to the water's edge and tries to see if Lolli is swimming anywhere nearby...

22:04
Jun 18, 2001

Aggie

Runs on to the beach screaming Lolli's name.

"LOLLI!!!!!!"

22:10
Jun 18, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Oh, Aggie, I sure hope Lolli isn't out there with that shark!" sobs Mandy.

22:25
Jun 18, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Lolli!" Mandy joins in in calling Lolli's name. "Trey, do you see her anywhere?" "I am so scared!" says Mandy as she paces up and down the beach. At one point, she hugs Aggie for comfort. "Where do you suppose she is?" Mandy asks her friend.

23:04
Jun 18, 2001

from colleen

Lollie isn't swimming that you can see, and the shark seems to swim back out to sea. Lola who spends a lot of time reading the survival guide may remember that in the part about Kosrae they say that the sharks haven't attacked anyone in almost a hundred years on Kosrae.

23:17
Jun 18, 2001

Lola tries to stay calm.

"I don't think a shark would attack, at least according to what the Survival guide says. But we'd better look around for Lolli before it gets dark. We don't need her wandering around the woods if those wild dogs are still around. And hopefully Ms. Colleen is right about her not swimming anymore."

23:22
Jun 18, 2001

Lola

"Maybe we should all go in pairs and search for Lolli. Just in case she's sick or needs help."

23:41
Jun 18, 2001

Trey grabs Aggies hand, tells her "Come on Aggie lets go looking for her, but we need to meet back here every 15 minutes just so we know what is happening. Aggie, lets go look at the playground."

"You know Lolli, she is probably just over there playing and doesn't know we are frantically looking for her". Trey holds her hand and leads her over to the playground.

23:51
Jun 18, 2001

Lola looks at Mandy. "Let's go look in the woods. Maybe she fell down or something." Lola leads the way into the woods.

23:57
Jun 18, 2001

Aggie

"Tey I am so scared! PLease let Lolli be ok."

00:02
Jun 19, 2001

Aggie

LOOOOLLLLLLIIIIIII!!!!!!!!"

00:09
Jun 19, 2001

Trey

"Aggie Sweetie, we have to have positive thoughts. We will find her. Of course it never hurts to say a little prayer. LOLLI!!!! OH LOLLI, WHERE ARE YOU?????"

00:11
Jun 19, 2001

Aggie

"I know we will find her! I just am worried is all. Thanks Trey."

Aggie sqeezes his hand breifly.

00:16
Jun 19, 2001

Lola looks around as she heads through the woods. "Lolli! LOLLI! Are you here? Can you hear us?" She turns to Mandy. "I really hope she's okay. I just keep thinking about Lyda Ruth and her stomach problems. She had to fly home. Gee, I hope Lolli is okay."

00:17
Jun 19, 2001

Aggie

"LOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLIIIIII!!!!!! WHERE ARE YOU????"

"Oh God let Lolli be alright!"

00:30
Jun 19, 2001

Trey squeezes Aggies hand back, he is so glad she is here with him. He is just as scared as the others.

"Aggie, we better go back to camp and check in, see if Mandy & Lola have seen her. Lets check her sleeping bag just in case."

00:54
Jun 19, 2001

aggie

"Maybe she is sleeping?"

00:57
Jun 19, 2001

Lola leads the way back to camp. "We didn't see Lolli," she announces. "Trey and Aggie, did you find her? I'm getting really sleepy, but I hate to just give up. Lolli might need us."

01:15
Jun 19, 2001

Lola yawns. "I'm sorry, but I think I'd better go to bed. We can get up really early and search for Lolli if she doesn't turn up."

01:16
Jun 19, 2001

Lola settles down on the leaves to sleep, hoping that Lolli will turn up soon. She says a silent prayer that she's okay. Zzzzzzzzzzzz

01:18
Jun 19, 2001

Trey

"Aggie, I'm with Lola, I've got to go to bed. I'm sorry I can't search any longer. Now Mandy and Aggie please promise me you won't go out looking for her tonight. We don't need anyone else lost. Pierre, had me worried to death and now Lolli. Sweet dreams!"

01:22
Jun 19, 2001

Aggie

"Will you sleep next to me Trey?"

Aggie lays down and hugs Llli's Teddy.

01:28
Jun 19, 2001

fromColleen

if a player is not to be found after dark it is safe to assume they are asleep. the kids aren't allowed into the jungle at night, and if a player isn't around it is pretty safe to assume they just aren't online..

you find Lollie sleeping safe and sound in her sleeping bag

01:47
Jun 19, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy puts another log on the fire and then peers into Lolli's sleeping bag. "There she is!" thinks Mandy to herself. "Boy, what a relief!"

"Good night!" Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

02:33
Jun 19, 2001

Trey wakes up next to Aggie, who is cuddled with Lolli. He quietly gets up, covers Lola and Bri with his sleeping bag, and give Aggie and Lolli a peck on the head. Wow, last night was scary.

07:13
Jun 19, 2001

Trey puts some more wood on the fire, and starts the oatmeal for his and Mandy's breackfast.

How does Mandy stay up so late and getup so early? I'm so tired this morning.

07:15
Jun 19, 2001

Trey still hasn't seen Mandy yet, but eats his oatmeal and takes his vitamin.

He sure misses Meggie, and Pierre is just not his normal self. He hopes Pierre is better really soon, he is such an awesome guy.

Trey finished his breakfast and goes to check all the traps.

07:26
Jun 19, 2001

Briene

She wakes up with Trey's sleeping bag covering her and Lola. How sweet of him to share! She quietly slips out of the shelter careful not to wake the others. She goes down the path to answer nature's call. Then comes back to make a little oatmeal for breakfast.

09:22
Jun 19, 2001

Aggie wakes to see Lolli next to her.

Aggie leans over and kisses her on top of the head. Aggie decides to go find some oranges for breakfast.

She finds 3 on her way back from the bathroom. Aggie peels one for herself and leaves the other 2 for smeone else.

10:04
Jun 19, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy awakens late! "Oh, gee, I've missed half the morning!" she says to herself with a sigh. "I guess I must have been very tired from last night!"

"She walks over to the table and finds breakfast waiting from Trey. "He sure is a thoughtful boy." "He's not at all like the Ocono boys." Mandy eats her oatmeal, even though it is cold. It is still tasty. She then decides it is a good day to wash her hair, so she grabs clean clothing, the shampoo and soap, and two of the water jugs. She heads to the stream, plops the jugs down in the sand, and continues down stream to the bathing spot.

10:24
Jun 19, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy returns to camp, puts the toiletries away, and starts to purify the water, using the pump. Up and down, up and down...eventually, both jugs are ready to pour into the storage tank. "Whew, that's done!"

She then skips over to Trey's playground and plays...

10:39
Jun 19, 2001

Aggie

Aggie feels like going swimming so she thinks she will go diving for lobstes like Meggie taught her.

She goes and puts her bathing suit on.

10:46
Jun 19, 2001

Briene

"Morning Aggie! Mind if I go with you to help dive for losters?"

10:47
Jun 19, 2001

Aggie

"Morning Bri! Sure get your suit on! I know our challenge is a swimming race but this will be a good warm up!"

10:52
Jun 19, 2001

Lola wakes up, relieved to see Lolli in camp. She gets up and heads for the beach to wash up. "Good morning, everyone!" After she washes up, she helps herself to some cold oatmeal, then heads for the playground to see what Mandy is up to. With the challenge today, she doesn't want to wear herself out doing too much work. "Hey Mandy, are you ready for the swimming challenge today?"

11:00
Jun 19, 2001

Briene

Gets her bathing suit on and joins Aggie. "I'm all ready!"

11:03
Jun 19, 2001

Pierre

Sorry Everyone! I have been having problems as late, with my voice (computer) I think It is better now. Good Morning. Pierre eats a bowl of oatmeal and takes a vitamin. I need to go put the traps back. And get them baited.

12:11
Jun 19, 2001

from Colleen

Good morning kids! today is a little rainy with scattered showers and a cloudy sky. It is 84 degrees with a low heat index so it doesn't feel that bad at all, especially once you get in the water. no sign of the shark today so the water is fine to warm up your swimming. I will run the reward challenge in about 40 minutes from now (at noon central time) good luck everyone!

12:20
Jun 19, 2001

Pierre

Gets all the traps rebaited and set. He goes off with the knife and gloves into the woods. Taro time!

12:51
Jun 19, 2001

from Colleen:All the kids wear their swimsuits to the challenge today, and arrived a little surprised as Gia wears one as well. Gia is smiling and at her feet are a scuba tank, scuba mask, flippers and snorkel gear. She smiles and says "The winner of today's challenge will get to spend today and tonight on a scuba fun adventure! We will take the winner out by boat and I will show them around some of the underwater beauty spots on Kosrae. It is an amazing prize because after the snorkeling, there is a fabulous dinner of surf & turf, steak and seafood, served at a private beach. It sure would be a nice way to eat well before tomorrow's immunity challenge."

Gia then points out into the water and you see several small floating platforms, 4 of them in a row, each about 10 yards away from each other, and each about 10 yards from the shore. "Gia explains "All you have to do to win is get the seashell from each platform. It doesn't matter what order you get them in so long as you get one from each. The trick?! there's always a trick!, the trick is that the seashells are not on the platforms, they are under the platforms hanging in a small open bag. If you need a rest you may hold onto the platform for no more than 2 minutes and if you can't finish just wave your arms and we will come get you."

Pierre looks more than a little nervous at this challenge, but he takes the snorkel and mask that Gia hands him. Gia explains to all of them how to use the snorkel and how to use the flippers. Gia gives each player a belt with a small net bag hanging from it to hold their seashells as they grab them. Each player gets ready then Gia leads them to the water. They wait on the beach until she says "GO!" and the race is on!

13:22
Jun 19, 2001

from colleen:Lollie and Pierre take a quick brief lead, with Lola and Mandy only a yard behind them, all four hitting the first platform within a few moments of each other. Trey is only a little behind them, but Aggie and Bri are trailing behind by 3-4 yards. At the second checkpoint Pierre has a 1 yard lead! with Lollie Lola and Mandy only 1 yard behind him, Trey and Aggie 3 yards behind him and Bri just barely reaching the platform a minute after the rest of the kids.

Pierre still has his small lead at the 3rd platform, one yard in front of Mandy and Lollie and Aggie as well, who made up some lost time! Lola is a couple yards behind them and Trey and Bri are bringing up the rear as they have some trouble when they bump into each other costing them precious moments. By the time Trey and Bri finally hit the 3rd platform Aggie and Pierre are done with the LAST platform and almost back to the beach, within 1 yard of each other, and Lollie and Mandy are only 1-2 yards behind them. Lola has just finished the fourth platform.

It's a photo finish as Aggie climbs up the beach and races back to Gia only 2 yards ahead of Lollie and Pierre who again gets the nickname (from the cameramen) of Cajun Lightning. Mandy is only 1 yard behind them and all four cheer on the others to finish, as Lola is just a yard from the beach, Trey and Bri about halfway between the last platform and the beach. As the last of the kids finally reach the beach Gia goes over to congratulate Aggie and whisper in her ear about the wonderful time she is going to have today....

Gia then also tells Aggie she must choose one player to join her tonight to share the scuba adventure.

13:28
Jun 19, 2001

Briene

"Congratulations Aggie!!" (gives Aggie a hug)

13:45
Jun 19, 2001

Pierre

Way to go Petite Cher!!! I am proud of you!

Pierre puts done 5 taro's cleaned and ready to cook. He puts the gloves and knife up and heads back to the woods for a fruit hunt.

15:24
Jun 19, 2001

Lola hugs Aggie. "Congratulations! Great job!"

16:17
Jun 19, 2001

Aggie

"Thanks guys, you all did good too!"

16:33
Jun 19, 2001

from Colleen

Gia says "Aggie, so who is going to scuba with you and share the steak and seafood feast tonight?"

17:06
Jun 19, 2001

aGGIE

"You Gia?"

17:13
Jun 19, 2001

aggie

"Too bad Meggie isn't here, she would love this reward!"

Aggie thinks Cher isn't fond of water.....

17:20
Jun 19, 2001

Aggie

"Is anyone here?

17:21
Jun 19, 2001

Pierre

Walks back in to the camp with 5 bannaas and 3 mangos. "Hi Petite Cher I just get scared what is in the water. You know there are sharks and things but I ate shark a few times and it was real good."

17:32
Jun 19, 2001

Lola smiles. "Have a great time, Aggie. It sounds like it will be a lot of fun."

17:41
Jun 19, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Yes, Aggie, have fun!" "Tell us all about it when you return!"

Mandy starts preparing the taro that Pierre brought back to camp. She decides to try to sugar glaze some like they had at the luau. She mixes water and a little bit of the sugar they got when the two camps became one. she then starts heating the sugar mixture in the skillet over the fire. She stirs until it comes out as syrup. Then, she adds cut up squares of taro and stirs some more to coat the pieces of taro completely. When all the taro have been coated, she removes the pan from the heat. She tastes one...Mmmmmmmmmmmmm "Hey, if anyone would like some sugar glazed taro, come and get it!" she shouts.

17:45
Jun 19, 2001

Gia says "well Aggie, if no one wants to come share the steak and fried shrimp, cold soda and clam chowder, I guess it might just have to be the two of us...

17:59
Jun 19, 2001

Lola speaks up. "I would love to go, if no one else does. I just thought Aggie might want to take someone she knows better."

18:04
Jun 19, 2001

Gia laughs and says "tick tock, c'mon Aggie, the fish don't have all day, oh wait, they do!" hahhaha

18:08
Jun 19, 2001

Aggie

"Ms. Colleen made me pick. I pick Trey. Please, don't feel left out anyone, I had to make a choice. I wish I could take you all, but the meanie producers say I can only have one."

Whispers, 'I'll try and sneak some back!"

18:10
Jun 19, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy smiles at Aggie and Trey as they leave on their adventure. "Have fun!" she says as she waves.

"That would be fun!" Mandy thinks to herself as she dishes up candied taro to all who are interested.

18:18
Jun 19, 2001

From Colleen

the meanie producers tick their tongue out at anyone who thinks they are meanies... and for future reference.. any attempts to sneak food back from rewards wil result in a reduction in tribe food rations...

(flashing the Meanie membership card)

18:23
Jun 19, 2001

Aggie

"Ok, no sneaking food, sorry Ms. Colleen."

18:29
Jun 19, 2001

Lola takes a slice of candied taro and pretends it is steak. She makes a face after a minute. She guesses her imagination isn't very good.

19:33
Jun 19, 2001

Pierre

Mandy that Taro is great!! Thank you!

19:45
Jun 19, 2001

from Colleen

the scattered showers have all but stopped and the humidity has risen considerably since this afternoon. Swimming might cool you off some, but even in the shade you are hot and sweaty...

19:48
Jun 19, 2001

Pierre

I am going to go take a nice cool bath.

19:49
Jun 19, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Okay, Pierre, have a nice bath." "I'm glad you liked the candied taro."

"Gee, I wonder what fun and exciting things Aggie and Trey are seeing and doing right now!"

19:53
Jun 19, 2001

Lola sighs. "It's awfully hot. Maybe I'll put on my swimsuit and go check the fish trap. Want to come with me, Mandy?"

20:20
Jun 19, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Sure, Lola! Maybe we'll catch some fish for dinner." Mandy runs after her friends. She's happy to spend some time doing something cool, since it is so hot!

20:27
Jun 19, 2001

Pierre

Comes back to camp refreshed. Hey everybody I am not feeling good I am going to go to bed. Good night.

20:31
Jun 19, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy hears Pierre say he isn't feeling well and hesitates before continuing to follow Lola to the water. "Pierre, what is wrong?" she shouts back to him.

"Lola, I'm really worried about Pierre." Mandy yells to Lola. "I think I'll check on him." "I'll catch up to you in the water in a little bit." Mandy turns back to check on Pierre...

20:35
Jun 19, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy rinses a clean cloth in cool water and takes it over to Pierre in the shelter. "Here, Pierre. My mommy always gives me a cool, wet cloth when I don't feel well," says Mandy.

"Do you have a tummy ache or did the heat get to you?" she asks.

20:37
Jun 19, 2001

Pierre

I fell in the woods and my back hurts a bit.

20:38
Jun 19, 2001

Pierre

Thank you for being concerned.

20:39
Jun 19, 2001

Trey

"I just heard Aggie picked me to go, I'm so excited. I'm sorry everybody can't go, but I have ALWAYS wanted to scuba dive. My mom use to do it and she tells me really great stories. Now I'll have some to share with her. Aggie THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!!"

20:39
Jun 19, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Oh, Pierre, I am so sorry! Here, put the wet cloth on your back."

Mandy gives Pierre a quick hug and then runs off to play with Lola in the water...

20:42
Jun 19, 2001

Lola is worried about Pierre and goes back to check on him. "Pierre, are you okay? Mandy said you hurt your back. Is there anything we can do?"

20:50
Jun 19, 2001

Pierre

Lola I will be Ok I just need to lay down.

21:01
Jun 19, 2001

Trey goes and puts some water on to boil. He goes and gets his muscle shirt out of his pack, as the water is getting very warm he dips the shirt in the water and takes it over to spread on Pierre's back. " Hey Dude, lets put this on your back, the heat will be good for it. I sure have missed you, I'm sorry you haven't been around the last few days. It's just not the same. Aggie and I will tell you all about the dive tomorrow. Now get some rest." Trey puts his sleeping bag on top of Pierre.

21:02
Jun 19, 2001

Lola looks at Pierre with concern. "You get some rest. But if you need us, just yell. Mandy and I are going to swim, but we should be able to hear you." She gives him one last worried look, then races back to the beach to join Mandy.

21:07
Jun 19, 2001

Trey goes back over to Pierre, picks up the shirt and goes and soaks it in warm water again before he leaves. He makes sure the water isn't too hot. I don't need to burn Pierre on top of his bad back. He spreads the shirt across Pierres back. See you tomorrow dude.

Trey goes to wait on the beach for Gia to come pick him up, he assumes Aggie is already with Gia. He sings quietly to himself, "I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it, I about to loose control and I think I like it!" Yep, he's being silly.

22:10
Jun 19, 2001

Trey waves at Lola and Mandy playing in the water. They are having such a good time. He wonders where Lolli and Bri are.

22:18
Jun 19, 2001

Lola waves back to Trey. "Have fun, Trey! You'll have to tell us all about your adventure tomorrow. And the good food too."

22:21
Jun 19, 2001

From Colleen, sorry for the confusion, but Trey is off scubadiving with Aggie and so any memories of Trey at kansi camp this evening must be daydreams :)

22:21
Jun 19, 2001

Lola kind of wondered about that. Maybe there was more in those taro cookies than met the eye. LOL

22:34
Jun 19, 2001

Lola

"Hey Mandy, my tummy is growling. Let's head back to camp and get dinner. I guess Pierre is asleep and I don't know where Bri and Lolli are. But I'm hungry. Maybe we could make some rice and that cream of mushroom soup we keep trying to have."

22:39
Jun 19, 2001

Lola heads back to camp. She opens the can of mushroom soup and adds some of the purified water, then cooks it on the fire. While it is cooking, she boils some rice. When the food is ready, she mixes it together and distributes it on plates. "Come and get it!" she calls.

23:19
Jun 19, 2001

Lola eats, then cleans up the camp and heads to bed. It sure is quiet here tonight, she observes. Before retiring, she checks on Pierre. Then she settles down on the leaves and falls asleep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

23:42
Jun 19, 2001

Trey and Aggie get back to camp. Trey is so tired he can hardly walk. Then he sees Pierre, goes over and gets the shirt again, and takes to the fire to wait for some water to get hot. As he waits he thinks about all the cool fish he saw today and thinks to himself that he wants to be a marine biologest when he grows up.

23:55
Jun 19, 2001

Trey sees the water is almost too hot. He gets a stick and drops the shirt in for a minute then takes it out and lets it warm up enough to wring all the water out of it. When it is cool enough, he takes it over and spreads it across Pierres back. He has to go take the water off the fire. Then he goes to the shelter and cuddles up with Aggie and everyone else. He is gonna sleep better than any other night. Zzzzzzzzzzz(trey like the way Ocono sleeps)

00:14
Jun 20, 2001

Lolli

wakes up and rolls over and sees that Aggie and Trey have gotten back from their adventure...she's sorry that she didn't get to congratulate Aggie on her great win...and VERY sorry that she worried her and the others yesterday! VERY VERY VERY SORRY!!!!! Thanks for worrying about me though!

Scoots over a little bit so that she is closer to Aggie and cuddles up next to her and puts Teddy in between them, so that if Aggie wants, she can share with her...sweet dreams guys! Love you!!!

00:21
Jun 20, 2001

Lolli

sits up and looks over at Pierre...smiles a little smile and thanks God that he is safe and with us here...looks around and sees all of her friends...thinks to herself...ya know, I didn't think that I would ever like the Ocono tribe! But, I do!!! they are really nice!!!

lays back down and closes her eyes...

00:23
Jun 20, 2001

Trey gets up, puts more wood on the fire, and cleans out the water pots after putting his shirt in the water.

07:09
Jun 20, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy awakens and notices that everyone is back, safe and sound. She smiles. It is going to be a good day. "I hope that Lolli and Pierre are both feeling better today," she thinks as she gets ready for the day. She dresses quickly and grabs the water jugs. She skips to the stream for water and a quick swim...

07:14
Jun 20, 2001

Trey

"Good Morning Mandy, Are you ready for some oatmeal?" As he takes out vitamins for each of them. "It is almost finished, and don't forget your vitamin".

07:22
Jun 20, 2001

Trey eats, then goes to the stream and finds Mandy.

Mornin Mandy, I'll finish the water, why don't you go eat breakfast?"

07:45
Jun 20, 2001

Trey brings the rest of the water back, and sits down to purify it. When he gets finished, he goes into the jungle in search of fruit.

08:08
Jun 20, 2001

Lola wakes up and gets some oatmeal. She notices Trey is missing and decides he must be out looking for food. "Good morning, Mandy. Do you want to go with me after I eat? I saw some bananas the other day that were up really high, but I think if we work together we might be able to reach them. We don't want to get too tired doing work today so we aren't worn out for the challenge tonight."

09:30
Jun 20, 2001

Briene

She wakes up after a good night's sleep. Thanks to Lola for making that great supper last night. Sleeping is easier on a full belly. She gets her things and the toiletries from the supply area and goes down by the stream to clean up. She has small butterflies in her stomach about the immunity challenge later today. She has been really lonely and homesick the past few days. No one is around camp when she is...

09:58
Jun 20, 2001

Aggie wakes up thinking about her ukelele and dcides today she will play it. Aggie has heard about Pierre's back and feels bad, if she had taken him, it wouldn't have happened. Aggie didn't want to ask hm to go in the water. Last night was wonderful! The food, the dolphins, Trey and I had a blast! I wish Cher, Lolli, Mandy, Lola and Bri could've came too!

10:22
Jun 20, 2001

from Colleen

10:50
Jun 20, 2001

Pierre

Wakes up and stretches. I think my back is better it still is a little stiff but I will get by. Has some oatmeal and takes his vitamin. He then goes and collects fruit.

10:52
Jun 20, 2001

Briene

Comes back to camp humming. She could have sworn she heard music earlier, but isn't sure. After putting everything away she has a piece of fruit and a vitamin. Then she sets off to look for firewood. She plans on staying close to the treeline so she doesn't get lost in the jungle.

11:51
Jun 20, 2001

Briene

Comes back to camp with a few branches and twigs. She puts them with the other firewood. Then she sets back out to gather more.

12:59
Jun 20, 2001

Lola returns with three bananas. "This is all we could reach, even standing on each other's shoulders and trying to climb." She looks around camp. "Good morning, Aggie and Bri. I hope Pierre is feeling better. I see that he's up so he must be." She listens. "Aggie, you're very musical. Some night we should all sing around the campfire. We do that a lot at home."

13:16
Jun 20, 2001

Briene

Comes back to camp with a few bigger branches and twigs. She puts them with the other firewood and sets back out to gather more.

17:13
Jun 20, 2001

Lola sees Bri. "Hey Bri, do you want to play some horseshoes while we're waiting for the others to come back to camp? We've got a game here and it's a lot of fun."

17:26
Jun 20, 2001

Lola retrieves the horseshoe game and sets up the stake. She takes a turn, but misses. She hands the horseshoes to Bri. "Okay, you try."

18:55
Jun 20, 2001

Briene

She takes the horseshoes from Lola and chucks it toward the stake. It falls short... "OK, Lola. I see I need more practice at this. Your turn."

20:46
Jun 20, 2001

Lola gives the horseshoe another pitch and makes a ringer. She gives Bri the high five. "Your turn."

20:54
Jun 20, 2001

Pierre

Drops off 5 papaya and 3 tangerines off at the camp and heads over to the playground.

21:36
Jun 20, 2001

Pierre

Oh I didn't see you all over there. How is it going?

21:37
Jun 20, 2001

Pierre

Man I forgot the time. Let me go check my traps and see if we have anything for supper.

21:38
Jun 20, 2001

Pierre

Gets to the traps and finds three lobster. They are niced sized. Gets them out of the trap and rebaits it and heads back to camp.

21:40
Jun 20, 2001

Pierre

Starts cooking supper.

21:42
Jun 20, 2001

Pierre

Supper will be ready in a little bit rice and lobster and fruit.

21:48
Jun 20, 2001

Lola

"Thanks Pierre. Is there anything I can do to help? We're just playing."

21:51
Jun 20, 2001

Pierre

LOla You can enjoy it and I wouldn't mind if someone else did the dishes but it is cooked. Bon apitite

21:53
Jun 20, 2001

Lola sits down and begins to eat. "Mmmm. Pierre, this is delicious. I will gladly help with the dishes."

22:07
Jun 20, 2001

aggie

"Thanks for making this yummy dinner, Cher! How's your back?

22:16
Jun 20, 2001

Pierre

Thanks everyone I am glad you like it. Petite Cher My back is much better. Sorry but I am sleepy I am going to go to bed. Good Night.

23:18
Jun 20, 2001

Lola gathers up the dirty dishes and washes them. As she helps clean up the camp, she wonders who will win immunity tonight.

23:41
Jun 20, 2001

Trey

"Hi ladies, sorry I missed dinner. After I went fruit hunting this morning, I stopped by the playgroup to make a see-saw out of the board the producers left. I was reaaly tempted to take it out in the water to see if it would float. I miss my surfboard so much. But I realized if it didn't float I would have wasted a perfect see-saw board. I thought about a slide but it isn't perfectly smooth and I might have to pick splinters out of everyones bum."

"Anyway, after the playground I went looking for fruit again, and I got lost. How embarassing!"

00:23
Jun 21, 2001

from colleen, everyone has taken the challenge and my tallying is finished.. ready to hear who won?

00:24
Jun 21, 2001

Lola smiles. "Glad you're okay, Trey. There is still some rice left, if you'd like some."

00:24
Jun 21, 2001

from Colleen: You arrive at Challenge Beach and Gia waiting there. She welcomes you and says today's challenge is going to be about stacking alphabet cubes. Whoever can get the most alphabet cubes and stack them as high as they can will be the winner.

The way to get the cubes is to run through the woods (like last week) and at each location there will be a list of categories, like Name a bird, or name something made of plastic. There will also be a letter of the alphabet and you must choose a ONE-WORD answer that begins with that letter. no foreign words unless they are commonly accepted in english, like lasagna. For each answer you send you get a wooden cube. the catch (isn't there always a catch?!) is that if your answer matches another player's answer for that letter and category neither of you will get any points for that answer.

She hands each player a map showing a path to location A. She says at that spot, there will be the first list of categories. answer as many as you can, then take a map from there to the next spot and do the same. there are 4 locations in all, each with different letters and categories getting progressively harder. You get 1 block for every correct answer from location A, 2 blocks for every correct answer from location B, 3 blocks for location C and 4 blocks for location D BUT there are also fewer and fewer categories at each location. once you send the answers for one location, you get the map/link to the next one and no further answers will be accepted for the previous location. Whoever has the most blocks at the end of the challenge will get the immunity necklace.

00:28
Jun 21, 2001

The kids all run to the first point, frantically whisering their answers to the categories listed. Some of the choices are tougher than others, but ultimately, as they leave the first location and run back to challenge beach to stack their cubes, Lolli has the highest stack so far, with 18 blocks tall. Aggie's stack is next tallest, with 17 blocks placed one on top of another. Lola's stack is almost as tall, 16 blocks high, followed by Bri with 15 blocks, Trey with 13 blocks, Mandy with 11 blocks and Pierre with 10. Gia has to laugh reading the answers as all but Aggie chose strawberries as the fruit, and four of you chose the color salmon and the candy snickers.

After stacking the blocks the kids all dash to the next location, again whispering and carrying off as many blocks as they are allowed. Aggie gets the most from this spot, gaining 24 blocks, while Bri gets 22, Lola gets 20, Lollie and Trey each get 18, and Pierre and Mandy each get 16 more blocks for their stack.

Gia laughs again as the answers for something in a bathroom included mildew, marble, midol and ME.

00:28
Jun 21, 2001

As the kids rush off to the third location they think so hard they can hear their brain cells sizzling! Each one desperately wants to win immunity. As the kids rush back to challenge beach it is obvious Lola and Bri did the best in this section, each one carrying 24 more blocks. Lolli and Aggie each carry 21 more blocks, Trey carries 18 more blocks and Pierre and Mandy each carry 15.

The kids stack as fast as they can then rush off to the final spot, taking as much time as they have left to choose their answers wisely. Lola rushes back to Challenge Beach with 28 more blocks! Bri and Pierre each carry 24, Aggie and Trey each carry 20, and Mandy and Lolli each carry 12.

Back at Challenge Beach the building begins as each player stacks the blocks higher and higher, holding their breath as Gia counts and tallies their score.

00:28
Jun 21, 2001

Gia clears her throat and announces "Aggie's tower is 82 blocks tall, Trey's is 69. Bri's stack is 85 blocks tall and Pierre's is 65. Lollie's stack is 69 blocks tall and Mandy's is 54. Lola's is the tallest at 88 blocks tall! Lola again wears the imunity necklace and cannot be voted out at the next tribal council.

Aggie has 17+24+21+20=82 blocks. Trey has 13+18+18+20=69 blocks. Bri has 15+22+24+24=85 blocks. Pierre has 10+16+15+24=65 blocks. Lollie has 18+18+21+12=69 blocks. Mandy has 11+16+15+12=54 blocks. Lola has 16+20+24+28=88 blocks.

00:28
Jun 21, 2001

Trey

"Thank you Lola, that sounds good. I ate most of the fruit I found today."

"Ms Colleen, come on , give me the bad news."

00:29
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Yes, Colleen!" "Please tell us!"

"Good night, Pierre! Thanks for the great dinner!"

00:34
Jun 21, 2001

Trey

"Oops, you already did give me the bad news.

"Lola, congratulations, it was hard for me and you did great." He walks over to give her a hug.

00:34
Jun 21, 2001

Lola lets out a sigh of relief upon hearing the challenge results. "I guess I can go to bed now. Thanks Gia!" Lola heads for her spot on the leaves fingering the immunity idol around her neck. She will have pleasant dreams tonight. ZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

00:34
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy high fives her friend and says, "Congratulations again, Lola!" "I'm so proud of you!"

Mandy then heads to sleep in the shelter. She is happy for her friend and a little depressed at the thought of once again having to decide on who to vote off the island...Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

00:38
Jun 21, 2001

Trey finishes off teh last of the rice, cleans to bowl and puts it back in the box. He goes and crawls into sleeping bag. He starts thinking of swimming with the dolphins and turtles and other beautiful creatures, then he drifts off to sleep. ZZZZZZZZZZ

00:47
Jun 21, 2001

from colleen

I am going to bed too, will be up early for any emails.. I will wait to get the answers to gia's questions and then call for a vote.

01:17
Jun 21, 2001

Trey gets up and puts more wood on the fire. He hates voting days!

07:29
Jun 21, 2001

Trey begins cooking the oatmeal. He pulls out the vitamins to set out too. He yawns big, hmmm, just can't wake up this morning.

07:32
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Morning, Trey!" "I'm sleepy today too!" "Thanks again for breakfast yesterday. It was good!" says Mandy with a smile.

"I hate tribal council days." says Mandy as she frowns. "We have all become such good friends and now one of us will be gone again."

07:34
Jun 21, 2001

Trey finishes cooking the oatmeal. He eats the oatmeal, takes his vitamin, cleans up the campsite, and goes for water.

07:34
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy helps herself to a vitamin and makes some oatmeal. "I'm going to go and fill the water jugs after breakfast." "I'll run them through the purifier." "Then, I want to try out that see-saw you made!" Mandy says as she eats.

07:36
Jun 21, 2001

Trey

Hi Mandy, didn't see ya there. Yeah I hate them too. I think we should suggest next year to have a show called 'Vacation' and we just come here for fun and know we have to go home at a certain time." LOL

07:37
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy finishes breakfast and quickly cleans up. "Wait, Trey, I'll help you with the water!" she says as she runs to catch up...

07:37
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Yeah, I like your idea of a show called 'Vacation'!"

07:38
Jun 21, 2001

Trey

"Thanks Mandy, its always easier to do chores with someone else. It doesn't seem so bad."

"You can't exactly play on a seesaw by yourself, unless your gonna stand in the middle and try to make the board balance. Can you tel i"ve done that before? I'll go over there with you, I haven't been able to test it with another person." He smiles at Mandy, "Hey maybe we can play soccer this afternoon. Its always good for getting frustrations out."

07:43
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Sounds like fun, Trey!" "You're right about the see-saw." "At home, I usually convince one of my friends to sit on the other end." "Oh, and yes, I'd love to play soccer." "We still haven't done that!" she says with a chuckle.

07:47
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Do you have brothers and sisters, Trey?" "I have an older sister named Sarah, and a baby sister named Kayly." "Sometimes I really miss them." "At least there are lots of kids here to play with!"

07:49
Jun 21, 2001

Trey

"Ok Mandy, I think this is the last bottle. Lets get these back to camp, and I'll start pumping."

07:49
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Okay!" "I'm starting to get used to that pump!" "We always boiled the water at the Ocono camp."

07:51
Jun 21, 2001

Trey

"yeah Mandy, I have a 14 year old brother. He thinks hes a 'chick magnet', at least thats what he claims. The whole family surfs together, I really miss that too."

07:53
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"That is funny about your brother!" "I'm not a good swimmer, but surfing does look like fun!"

07:56
Jun 21, 2001

Trey

"Mandy, I'm glad we had this chance to talk. We all know the voting strategies here. It's just a fact. Anyway, I think the Ocono group should vote for me. I haven't been around a whole lot lately and the others have been contributing a lot. I think they deserve to stay, so since you have to vote for someone, make it easy on yourself and vote for me. I'm really OK with it. I had such a great time on the dive the other night, everything has been worth that one day. It opened up a whole new world for me. Thanks."

07:58
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Gee whiz, Trey, you shouldn't give up so easily!" "I know you are missing Meggie." Mandy pats her new friend on the shoulder. "You should see it out and see how far you can go!"

08:02
Jun 21, 2001

Trey

"Mandy, I don't consider it "giving up", its more like at a baseball game when the batter gets a sacrifice out so the runner can advance. I'm a team player. Does that make since? I guess you can say I am very satisfied with my life right now. I like everyone here. I am not home sick. But its ok if I get voted off too. I would never have thought I would make it this far. "

08:10
Jun 21, 2001

Trey finishes pumping the the water through the purifier. Ok, thats it. I think it is time to go play soccer now. I'll get my ball. Now Mandy, be gentle, I haven't played in a long time." He runs to get his soccer ball and heads toward the playground.

08:13
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy runs to the playground and starts kicking the soccer ball around with Trey. "Boy, this sure is a great soccer area you made!" she says as she plays. "Trey, if I vote you off, who will I play soccer with?" she says with a smile.

08:17
Jun 21, 2001

Trey, after playing a while falls to the ground exhausted and laughing. " Mandy, I'm not worthy, You are the queen of soccer. Ok that was a fun game but you wore me out. I'm gonna sit here and recover a few minutes then I better go find some more fruit. I am not ganna get lost today though." He is laughing still.

"don't worry, you will have plenty of other people to play soccer with if you win. He smiles at her, "see ya later".

08:48
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"See you later, Trey!" says Mandy giggling. "That sure was fun!"

Mandy climbs around in the playground for a little bit and then decides to go and take a swim. She changes into her bathing suit and heads to the stream...

09:03
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

"Morning, Mandy. Mind if I go for a swim with you?"

09:32
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

Slips on her swimsuit and runs after Mandy and goes for a swim.

09:39
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Sure, come along, Briene!" "Last one in the water is a rotten egg!" she says as she runs toward the water!

09:39
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

Runs up to the water and splashes in, giggling and laughing. "Hey, Mandy! Watch out!" She splashes her playfully.

09:48
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"You know, at home, I have one of those duck float rings to play with in the water!" "I also have some flippers to swim with." Mandy splashes Briene back and giggles. "There, I got you too!"

09:56
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"This has been such a fun day today." says Mandy as she floats around on her back. "I've played soccer with Trey and now I'm swimming with you!" "I'm not bored today!"

09:59
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

"I know! I have been pretty bored this week. Everyone already has their schedule and they get up early and head off. It has been hard to make friends when no one is around."

10:04
Jun 21, 2001

Pierre

Good morning. Gets up and eats his breakfast and takes a vitamin. See's everyone playing, he just sits there for a little bit.

10:05
Jun 21, 2001

Pierre

Gets up and gets the knife and gloves and heads out for taro.

10:11
Jun 21, 2001

Lola wakes up and looks around camp. Seeing it deserted and feeling the hot weather, she decides to head for the beach. She puts on her swimsuit and dashes off to the water. She finds Bri and Mandy playing in the surf. "Good morning, girls. Don't you hate tribal council days? They always make my tummy feel funny."

10:37
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

"Morning, Lola! Come on in. The water is great. Yes, tribal council days are scary. Congratulations on winning immunity." (smiles)

10:45
Jun 21, 2001

"Thanks, Bri. You did really well too. It was a close race."

10:49
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Isn't this fun?" "Too bad we don't have a beach ball or something to throw around in the water."

Mandy kicks her feet and propells herself around in a circle. She is really enjoying the peacefulness of the water. It is comforting to her to have friends to play with today.

11:32
Jun 21, 2001

from Colleen; heat is the word of the day, and humidity! it is 87 degrees with a 96 degrees heat index. You see a l;izard just sunning himself on a rock and you think he ought to be melting as hot as it is. In the rocky shallow area to the right of the camp at least you can lay on the rocks and stay somewhat cool in the 12" deep water. No sign of rain and there is only the tiniest breeze at the very edge of the beach.

So drink lots of water today, wear the sunscreen and stay in the shade if you can.

As each of you looks at the faces around you, the thought pops in your head, one more friend will be gone today, leaving only 6 of you. Only 4 more chances for immunity before the final tribal council. Only 4 more chances at the reward challenge. When that final vote comes down, will you be on the jury or on the winning side? I only need Aggie's answer then I will post and call for votes...

13:10
Jun 21, 2001

from Colleen; slight correction, bir and mandy said they were swimming in the stream not the surf/beach. I assume they try to be sure not to swallow any water, but the freshwater somehow seems nicer than the saltwater ocean.

13:14
Jun 21, 2001

The path to tribal council is long and the heat tonight is just awful. Your flickering torches keep away the jungle creatues, but you do see a fruitbat flying overhead at one point. As you move into the clearing, Meghan is sitting stoically on a raised tier. she is the sole member of the jury and watches as everyone takes their place. You are not allowed to address her, or even wave, but a few of her old buddies send a smile her way.

Gia asks her usual piercing questions once everyone has settled in place. Gia asks Aggie "How important is immunity now?"

Aggie answers "Immunity is very important now, its the only guarantee of survival. Ever since one of the Nicarongs decided to betray their family, I've become more determined to win immunity."

16:35
Jun 21, 2001

Gia asks Pierre "We've noticed this week there seems to be group interaction at the camp. Do you think individual agendas have taken over in the game now?" Pierre replies "I think personal agendas have always been at the basis of this game. From the beginning to the end."

Gia asks Bri "As the new kid on the block, do you think if you had been in the game from the start that you would still be sitting here in this position?" Bri thinks a moment then says "It is hard to say. I think that there is a suspicion that I am a mole planted by the producers just to keep the game interesting. But I am a real player working hard like all the other kids here. I am the easy target when it comes time for tribal council, but I'm working hard to play the game the best that I can. If there's one thing I've learned so far it's that nothing is guranteed in this game." She smiles.

Gia asks Mandy "Do you think the girls of Ocono still have a chance to win this game?" "I don't know if we will win, but we will be proud of our accomplishments no matter how far we come!" says Mandy.

16:37
Jun 21, 2001

and finally Gia asks Trey "How did you and your teammates deal with Meghan's banishment? It seemed to come as quite a surprise last week."

Trey answers "Well Gia, I think it was obvious that we didn't handle is very well. We miss Meggie very, very, very much. But I think the hardest thing to handle was that we have a traitor amongst us. I think we have all been in shock and don't know who we can trust. But for me each day I am getting stronger, I know Meggie would not have wanted us to give up. Since we were such a close Nicarong team, it hit us hard that one of us could not be trusted."

Gia nods then waves towards the voting drum. "It's time to vote. One of you will join Meghan tonight as a member of the jury..."

16:37
Jun 21, 2001

Aggie

"lola, you area really tough competitor! Good job winning mmuniy!" Aggie gives her a hug.

17:12
Jun 21, 2001

from Colleen: the heat is finally starting to level off, not entirely, but enough that the heat index has dropped to 92.

17:31
Jun 21, 2001

from Colleen, due the nature of being online, I only post the questions early so if it affects votes you can see the answers.. feel free to have your dinner, interact etc until all votes are in and I post the final call...

17:45
Jun 21, 2001

Lolli

comes running back in to camp, backpack partially full, after a day of hunting for fruit in the jungle...I managed to catch us some of those mean ole papayas-3 of those and I cornered a few bananas, 4 of those!! at least they were tame and ripe!! BOY!! Those li'l critters were hard to catch!!! giggles sets the rest of the fruit on the table and grabs a banana...I LOVE 'nanas!!! giggles...runs to the shelter to put away her backpack and hug Teddy...walks back to the fire area eating her banana

she looks up from her banana and her face gets serious...I just remembered what day it is...I hate today...and heads back into the jungle...head down and shoulders slumped...I think I am going to go hunting for fire wood...or more fruit...

17:55
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

After spending most of the day in the stream swimming she has pruned up quite nicely. Ouch! It hurts to even touch anything. She gets dressed of the evening's festivities. Then she starts digging around in the provisions to see what there is to eat.

17:58
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

:-( "Poor Lolli." Briene thinks to herself. Tribal Council makes everyone act nervous and sad. "Thanks for the great fruit, Lolli. I've never had papaya. Now where is that knife?" She looks around for it.

18:03
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

"I guess maybe Pierre still has it with him... Oh well. I guess I'll just rip into it with my bare hands." She struggles with the funny looking fruit, not sure how to eat it.

18:11
Jun 21, 2001

Lolli

shoulders back and head held high, Lolli comes back in to camp! Smiles at Bri and heads to the shelter to get her swimsuit...I am NOT going to get down and upset this time! I am going to be happy and positive and upbeat!!! No more of this moping around stuff for me!!! Someone has to go, there is no changing that...it could be me, it could be anyone else! grabs the shampoo and soap and heads towards the stream to take a bath! At least if I go to become a member of the jury tonight! I am going to smell better! and heads for the stream to bathe

18:21
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

"Hey, Lolli. Have a nice bath." as she admires Lolli's spirit and new found determination.

18:31
Jun 21, 2001

Lola passes Lolli as Lola heads back to camp. "Hi Lolli. Glad you're feeling better." Lola takes off her swimsuit and puts on one of her Ocono tribe outfits because they're cooler than the clothes she brought from home. As she's digging in her backpack, she finds a handful of oyster seashells that she had forgotten about. She found them at the Nicarong camp the day she and Bri went to retrieve the last of the supplies. Lola had tucked them in her bag and got so busy at the new camp, they slipped her mind. She examines them again, looking at the carvings on them. She wonders which of the kids made them - and will it make them happy or sad that she found them? She finishes getting dressed, then goes to start dinner. She hopes someone else is in camp who will know where the shells came from and that they won't be angry with her for forgetting about them until now.

18:40
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

to Lola, "Hi! What have you got there?"

18:43
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

to Lola, "Do you know to get into this papaya? I'm having problems." (laughing)

18:44
Jun 21, 2001

from Colleen, little reminder, you guys do have two knives, one from each of the previous camps. :)

18:54
Jun 21, 2001

Lolli

comes back in to camp after her refreshing bath...goes over to Lola and looks at the shells that she has...smiles and says...those are the ones that Meggie made, I think! How many of them are there??

19:02
Jun 21, 2001

Lola hands the shells to Lolli. "There are three finished ones and a couple of others that are only partly carved. Aren't they pretty?"

19:07
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Let me see!" says Mandy as she comes out from changing her clothing for tonight. "Oh, those are beautiful!" "Meggie has real talent, doesn't she?"

"Lola, what are we having for dinner?" "Can I help make it?" Mandy searches for the other knife and finally finds it. She hands it to Bri. "Here, I'm not sure how you eat those either," she giggles.

19:13
Jun 21, 2001

Pierre

Wlaks into camp and has 6 taros all clean and ready to go. "I will go check the lobster trap. Be right back"

19:22
Jun 21, 2001

Pierre

Comes back to camp and has three lobsters. He puts them mear the taro and say's "I am going to go get cleaned up. If someone wants to cook tonight that would be OK with me." He grabs the soap and walks off to get a bath.

19:27
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy puts a big pot of water on to boil. She knows that the lobsters have to be boiled...

19:39
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

"Looks like we have all the fixings for a feast!" smiling "Thnaks for the knife Mandy. Is the skin of this papaya edible?"

19:46
Jun 21, 2001

Aggie goes over to her backpack and digs out he ukelel.

19:47
Jun 21, 2001

Aggie

"Moon made those shells!"

19:50
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

"Oh, Aggie. You play so nicely. Can you sing, too?"

19:52
Jun 21, 2001

Aggie

Thanks Bri! I don't sing too well.

Aggie sings "Twinkle, twinkle little star......."

19:59
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

joins in singing with Aggie, "How I wonder what you are. Up above the world so high..."

20:09
Jun 21, 2001

Lola starts mashing the taro, joining in the singing as she mashes. "Up above the world so high..."

20:12
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

"...Like a diamond in the sky. Twinkle, twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are."

20:14
Jun 21, 2001

Trey comes back into camp

"Hi everybody, wow almost everyone is here. Thats a change lately. I found some 2 breadfruit, and 7 bananas, and a few oranges." He sets them down in then wooden box.

"Is there anything I can do to help with dinner. I just want to clean up before we go to vote." He knows he smell like a wet dog. yuck!

20:21
Jun 21, 2001

Briene

"Hi Trey! You sure have been busy today. Look at all that fruit! Where do you find it all?"

20:28
Jun 21, 2001

Aggie

"Hi Trey!"

20:39
Jun 21, 2001

Trey

"Bri, Oh nowhere in particular. I haven't gotten too use to this camp so I still have to just walk around and look for fruit. I haven't found any really good area for fruit yet.

"Aggie, Keep playing and singing. I really like it. I think I'm gonna run down to get cleaned up. I'll be right back. Oh, does anyone know who is bathing?" Trey looks around for a quick headcount. "Hum, looks like its's Pierre, It is safe for me to go down there since it is a guy. I'll be back shortly, Now don't say anything bad about me." He laughs as he walks off.

20:46
Jun 21, 2001

Aggie

Playing her ukelel again and singing"Trey is a silly goose"

20:58
Jun 21, 2001

Trey comes walking back into camp all clean. "Geesh, Do you have any bubble bath? I think Pierre is gonna shrivel up after soaking in the water that long. I get in, get clean and get out.

"I'm starving, what can I do to help with dinner now?

Do we have anything in the airtight container? I was thinking about, mixing some powdered milk and some mashed up bananas for a dessert and pre-vote cocktail? Does that sound ok to you all?"

21:32
Jun 21, 2001

Lola

"That sounds good, Trey. Do we have any spices left? I think we need something to season this taro. Or maybe a little fruit juice from something you found?"

21:37
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Trey, your drink sounds yummy!" says Mandy as she removes the cooked lobsters from the pan. "Trey, do you want to tell Pierre dinner is ready?"

21:46
Jun 21, 2001

from Colleen, I am going off for dinner, will check back in 30 minutes or so, just waiting on one last vote then I will call for final votes.

21:50
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Ms. Colleen, you are more than welcome to join us for dinner." "We have plenty!" says Mandy with a smile.

21:51
Jun 21, 2001

Trey

"Lola, there should be some spices in one of the oatmeal barrels. That reminds me I should add a little sugar to the milkshakes."

"OK Mandy< Irun back down there and tell him soup is on."

21:52
Jun 21, 2001

Lola opens up one of the oatmeal barrels and selects some seasonings for the taro. She's not entirely sure what's what, but she figures anything is better than plain old taro. She dumps in a handful and mixes the taro up, then sets it on the makeshift table. "Boy, I'm hungry," she announces, looking around at her friends. It makes her sad that this is the last time they will all be together.

21:54
Jun 21, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

"Thank you, Trey." "You are such a help!"

21:55
Jun 21, 2001

from Colleen, dinner's over for me (Subway sammich) and I have all votes, you have 30 minutes to change your vote. after 9:45 central time I will post the results...

The kids have 30 minutes to pack up their gear. as the sun sets and they look around the camp by the firelight and the glow of the full moon, they realize one of them will not be coming back here tonight. The a seat on the jury for one of you tonight...who will it be?

22:19
Jun 21, 2001

Lola has mixed feelings as she eats. She is relieved that she cannot be voted off, but she is sad that one of the kids will be gone after tonight. She has come to know them all better as the week has gone by and this week's voting was much tougher than last week's when they were all just names.

22:26
Jun 21, 2001

Aggie blinks back the tears threatening to fall and goes to pack her bag. She doesn't want to go or see anyone of friends leave tonight.

22:38
Jun 21, 2001

from Colleen (the questions and answers are above, I will just post the voting...

Gia nods then waves towards the voting drum. "It's time to vote. One of you will join Meghan tonight as a member of the jury..." Each of the 7 Kansi Tribe members faces the blank slips of paper and writes a name. It is a tough decision and yet without the voting, there is no game. The last to vote brings the drum to Gia.

She pulls out the first vote, "First vote for Bri" Bri stoically nods her head.

22:49
Jun 21, 2001

Gia says "second vote for Aggie." Aggie's head jumps up surprised. Trey looks angry.

Gia pulls out the next paper. "Third vote Aggie." She pulls out another. "Fourth vote Aggie."

Gia makes 2 stacks now as she takes another slip of paper from the drum. "Fifth vote Bri" and another "Sixth vote Bri"

22:50
Jun 21, 2001

She pauses and looks at each player and sees more than one held breath, more than one biting lip. "Last vote Aggie. Aggie, the tribe has spoken. Please bring me your torch. " Aggie moves over to Gia to have her flame extinguished then she leaves the clearing.

22:51
Jun 21, 2001

from colleen

as the kids return to camp they can barely believe their eyes! Like the last full moon, it seems the moon or the tides or something make the crabs go crazy. there are thousands of the tiny thumb sized crabs and hundreds of the larger ones swarming over their camp. At least all their clothes and things were packed up, and the cooks tonight remembered to close up all the food, but the crabs are everywhere, on the tarps, under the leaves. you can barely walk without hearing crunching sounds.

23:04
Jun 21, 2001

Trey stands up and yells,

"I asked you to vote for me, you are only keeping me and Pierre as providers. Aggie & Meggie have never done anything but be wonderful." Trey grabs his torch and goes back to camp ahead of everyone. He is crying, He feels so angry.

23:08
Jun 21, 2001

Trey reaches camp, good, he is the first one there. I hate these stupid crabs. He grabs his sleeping bag, and goes and climbs into the hammock. He is the first one there, he will share it with Lolli & Pierre. But he isn't gonna stay up all night like he did before. He falls asleep crying. Aggie & Meggie didn't deserve that. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

23:58
Jun 21, 2001

Lolli

I don't understand...why Aggie? Why? Aggie is here all the time! Aggie helps out all the time! I just don't understand!!!! Takes her stuff and goes to the edge of the camp and finds a rock to sit on...away from those rotten little crabs...pulls Teddy out of her backpack and cuddles her close...tears stream down her face...I lost Meggie and Moon and now Aggie...why am I still here and the others are gone??? Why vote off my sweet Aggie?? I just don't understand!! She never hurt anyone! She was always friendly and loving and caring and giving!!!It's not fair!!! I feel like I am losing my family! All I wanted to do tonight, when we got to the Tribal council was run over and hug Meggie...I just don't understand! It just isn't fair!!!

00:03
Jun 22, 2001

Lolli

backpack in tow, heads over to where Trey is at, in the hammock and crawls in beside him...Teddy clutched in her arms and cries herself to sleep...

00:06
Jun 22, 2001

Trey feels the hammock moving, he sees Lolli climbing in, when she lays down he reaches over and cuddles with her. Why won't they vote me off? I am ready to go? He starts crying again, Where is Pierre? He falls back to sleep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

00:16
Jun 22, 2001

Lola is silent as she returns to camp, taking in the reactions of her friends. She can't help but be reminded of Clyde with all the crabs around. She wonders how Lyda Ruth is doing and if she is feeling better now. She hates tribal council nights. She waits for the crabs to clear and settles down on her leafy bed, staring up at the stars. She hopes Aggie is comfortable in the hotel and being reunited with Meggie. And she hopes that it will be a few days before they have to vote off anyone else. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

00:20
Jun 22, 2001

Mandy Estelleita

Mandy is the last one to arrive back to camp. She took her time walking back, contemplating what she just witnessed. No matter how you vote, it hurts...

Mandy is so tired and those stupid crabs are everywhere! She shakes out the blanket and frantically scoots the little critters off of her leaves in the shelter. Finally, she clears a spot next to Lola and goes to sleep. She starts to think about Roxie and Lyda Ruth and the tears start to flow. Tribal Council sure is a rotten thing...Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz weep weep Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

00:31
