See what really happened to Meghan's missing Tweety blanket.

From Colleen, can you believe it is week 6 already? Welcome to the new hidden location! The heavenly choirs wake you early with their sweet resounding voices and a frech breeze blows in from the west filling your camp with the smell of tropical blooms!

Meggie

Meggie wakes up and looks around to see if anyone has gotten up yet. Her teammates as well have been getting up later on weekends. Just habit she guesses. She walks over to Trey's pack to take out a piece of fruit to nibble on and seeing noone else up, she goes to walk to the beach to listen to the beautiful music and smell the fragrant flowers.

10:24
May 20, 2001

Trey wakes up, doesn't see anyone else around. Grabs a banana, puts on his modest clothes and goes down to the beach. "I sure do love it here, I just hope we can get back to normal."

12:25
May 20, 2001

Pierre

Gets up from the beacha nd walks to the jungle diapearing in the growth.

13:19
May 20, 2001

From colleen

The wind has completely died down, no breeze, but the sun is hiding in the clouds today! It's only 77 degrees with continuing light rain all day and night. put any open barrels or pots out to catch some rainwater if you can, and if you want to take a nice shower, you could do it by finding a nice spot with a solid runoff of water. Have fun!

15:27
May 20, 2001

Meggie

Oh with the nice rain, I will take a shower. She finds a spot and takes a nice shower. Afterwards, when she is all dressed, she takes the net and goes down to the beach to try to catch some fish for dinner. "This is silly," she thinks to herself. I'll probably end up getting all wet again. "Oh well"

15:44
May 20, 2001

Trey

"Hi Meggie, you look nice a refreshed. I think I will go take a shower too. It sound really good. I'm gonna wash my clothes too. Oh, we aren't supposed to fish on Sunday are we? I know we can't light a fire."

18:08
May 20, 2001

Trey comes back from showering. "Wow its really nice to shower and not have salt and sand all over me. It sure is quite around here today. I think I'll walk down to the playground and work on a ring toss. We don't go there very often but but I like working on it. I guess now I understand why Dad works out in his shop so much. It always looked like work, but now I understand it is a fun work." He walks down the beach towards the playground."

18:58
May 20, 2001

Meggie

"hold up Trey, I'll go with you. I want the company. I am feeling lonely today."

20:48
May 20, 2001

Trey

"Heyt Meggie, sure come on would love the company, its awfully quiet today."

21:45
May 20, 2001

Lolli

It is REALLY quiet around here! Hi guys! Where is Pierre?? I saw him walk into the jungle a while back! I hope he is okay...I know we have been having problems around here lately! We have to work on them! I think we all need to get together and talk...see if there is any way to work this all out and get past it!

goes to Trey's backpack and gets herself a piece of fruit and then, gets a vitamin and takes it with the fruit and a little water.

23:12
May 20, 2001

Lolli

I wish Aggie were around! I would thank her for cuddling with us last night! We really needed that!

Too bad Inita and Marissa didn't come and cuddle with us too!

23:39
May 20, 2001

Lolli

I wonder where everybody is! I think I am going to put out some containers, like Ms Colleen said we should do...that way we will have at least a little rain water...wonder if it is going to rain all night?

I think I am going to go to bed...I am getting pretty sleepy and nobody is here to talk to!

23:41
May 20, 2001

Aggie comes back to camp, loking refreshed and a little happier then she has been in a few days.

00:09
May 21, 2001

Pierre

Comes out of the jungle and stops and gets a piece of fruit out of Trey's back pack. He then walks back down to the beach and just sits, looking out over the waves.

00:32
May 21, 2001

Trey and Meggie get back to camp late. Trey waves at Pierre "Hey buddy I missed you today. I'm gonna hit the sack, I'm pooped. Thanks for going with me Meggie, It was fun. Sweet dreams everyone."

00:45
May 21, 2001

Trey

Trey wakes up, yawns, looks around. Yet he's the first one up"

06:55
May 21, 2001

Trey puts some wood on the campfire. He's gonna have to light it this morning. There is a first time for everything. Lets see if I can do it, and he starts knocking Pierres fire rocks together. Its a good thing they move the wood and kindling under the boys shelter to keep it dry.

06:58
May 21, 2001

Meggie

"Morning Trey. It is nice to see someone up before me. I was glad we spent yesterday together. I had fun and it was so much nicer than being by myself. It seemed like such a quiet day didn't it? Do you want fruit or half an oatmeal serving this morning?"

07:17
May 21, 2001

"TaDah!" Trey finally get the fire going. He puts on the oatmeal for him and Meggie and gets out the vitamins for them too.

07:18
May 21, 2001

Trey

" Mornin Meggie, I already have oatmeal cookin. If you would rather have fruit, Pierre will probably be up soon and he will eat the oatmeal. Yeah it has been really quite around here after tribal counsel."

07:22
May 21, 2001

Meggie

"Thanks Trey, how about a piece of fruit in our oatmeal. I am cutting up one of them."

07:24
May 21, 2001

Meggie

"I wonder where everyone went yesterday. THey all seemed to go their separate ways. I like fruit in oatmeal. Here have a piece."

07:28
May 21, 2001

Trey

"Thanks Meggie, I'm gonna go see if I can find the bananas Aggie told us about Sat. She wasn't around yesterday to show us where they were. I would hate to loose them to the jungle animals. Do you want to go with me, I might need some help getting the whole stalk back by myself.

A piece of fruit would be great, do we have a lot left, I think everyone yesterday ate fruit, we should have all the Sunday cookies left. Maybe we should take a few with us in case we don't get back soon."

07:48
May 21, 2001

Pierre

Gets up and walks to the camp from the beach. He gets some oatmeal and say's "Good Morning"

09:49
May 21, 2001

Pierre

Gets the knife and gloves and heads to the jungle.

09:59
May 21, 2001

Pierre

Comes out of the woods with 5 cleaned taro. Puts them in his backback for cooking later in the day. Gets the fishing pole and net and heads for the beach. He had pickes up some worms in the jungle.

11:33
May 21, 2001

Aggie

"Trey wait up, I'll show you!"

15:17
May 21, 2001

Pierre

Hi Petite Cher!

15:43
May 21, 2001

Pierre

is coming back to the camp, fish in tow. He caught 3 medium sized fish.

15:44
May 21, 2001

Lolli

hi Pierre...how are you feeling? you seemed pretty upset last night...

15:48
May 21, 2001

Pierre

I have something to say. And I would like everyone to listen. Shortly after we came to the island I am not sure exactly when it was, I approached Lolli about an alliance, We have been talking about it over the last few days and we decided it was time to come clean and be honest about it. When I approached Lolli she was reluctant to form an alliance, but she went into it with me. It was just the two of us. It was not a very good alliance as far as those things go. I voted for Moon and she told me she would not vote for Moon. I do not know who she voted for. That does not matter. We have stopped our alliance. We both have felt bad about it, so that is why we decided to be honest and tell everyone about it. I know it was thought that I was in some sort of big mean alliance, well I was in an alliance of sorts but we couldn't even decide who to vote for together. So I don't think any one had anything to worry about. Lolli and I are officially quitting our alliance here and now. I am sorry if we have hurt any ones feelings but it was something I came up with before I came to the island, I realized some time back that we are family, and I would like to put this behind us. And get back to working and living like a family. Again I am Sorry. I am sorry to you Lolli for getting you involved with this.

If you look you can see tears in Pierre's eye's and rolling down his cheek as he speaks.

16:06
May 21, 2001

Pierre

There it is said I feel better! Is there anything I can do to make things right again?

16:10
May 21, 2001

Lolli

everything that Pierre said was true! :) The most "alliance" stuff we have really talked about was quitting it! Pierre ISN'T mean! He is sweet and caring and loving! He has taken care of me so many times! He is WONDERFUL!!!

I'm sorry that Moon thought that Pierre and Trey were being mean to her...I don't remember hearing anything! Lolli walks over to Pierre and takes his hand in hers...I love you! I know you didn't do anything mean! I believe in you! and then she hugs him

16:16
May 21, 2001

Pierre

sits down and starts cleaning the fish.

16:16
May 21, 2001

Pierre

Thank you Lolli I am sorry.

16:17
May 21, 2001

Lolli

Pierre, don't be sorry! We didn't do anything to be sorry for! We did what we were told was part of the game! We didn't know that we would form another alliance, an alliance with each other! a LARGE,LOVING FAMILY! That is more of an alliance than any other that I know of!

here, let me help you with those fish...sits down next to Pierre and helps him clean the fish

16:19
May 21, 2001

Pierre

Thank you Lolli!

16:21
May 21, 2001

Meggie

Meggie goes over and hugs Lolli and Pierre. "I am so glad you two said something. I had a feeling that you guys had formed an alliance and I did feel badly about it. This is like a family to me and I don't want to do anything to hurt ANYONE at all. I would rather we just look out for each other and care for each other instead. I do love both of you and as far as I'm concerned it is forgotten. ok??? Why don't we figure out what we are going to eat for dinner."

16:23
May 21, 2001

Pierre

Lolli you know if we put some damp leaves on the fire while we cook the fish it will give it a smoked flavor.

Still fighting back the tears.

16:25
May 21, 2001

Pierre

Thank you Meggie, He goes to her to give her a hug.

16:26
May 21, 2001

Pierre

I have something in the jungle for dessert. I will be back in a little while.

16:33
May 21, 2001

Aggie

"I have some bananas, Trey will bring more. Hi Lolli! Hi Meggie!"

17:27
May 21, 2001

Pierre

Comes back to camp, empty handed. "I think some animals got what I went for. I found some of those tangerine thingys. But They are gone."

17:47
May 21, 2001

Pierre

Hi Petite Cher!

17:47
May 21, 2001

Pierre

WOW LOOK at you banana's You are the banana Princess!

17:51
May 21, 2001

Lolli

thanks Meggie, I am sorry that we hid this from you all...I love you guys! and she hugs Meggie really hard!

Pierre, it sounds like a good idea to put the leaves on the fire...Grandma always smokes chicken and fish and everything in her smoker at home! It is YUMMY!!!

17:52
May 21, 2001

Lolli

I'm going to go for a swim...see you guys later!

Lolli leaves the group, with a disappointed look on her face, shaking her head and frowning...

17:54
May 21, 2001

Meggie

"Hi Aggie. Nice looking bananas....we can mix them with taro and make banana taro pancakes for dinner."

19:27
May 21, 2001

Pierre

Suppers Ready.

Lolli what is wrong?

19:48
May 21, 2001

Aggie

"Thanks Cher! And thanks for dinner! meggie ooohhh! That sounds so good!"

Aggie follows Lolli to be sure she is ok.

20:31
May 21, 2001

Trey comes staggering back into camp. He is carrying a stalk of bananas over his shoulder, he looks like Santa. "Hey Aggie, thanks for waiting on me(laughing). Look at all these bananas she found. No wonder she couldn't carry them by herself." He hangs the bananas under their shelter and plops onto the ground exhausted.

22:09
May 21, 2001

Pierre

Good night everyone. I have to go to sleep I am so tired. I haven't slept well for several days. I may sleep in more than normal tommorow.

23:48
May 21, 2001

Aggie

"I can't find Llli! Did she come back here?"

"Thanks for bring them back Trey! You look like Santa! Hehehe!"

00:16
May 22, 2001

Pierre

Petite Cher I haven't seen her, since you went after her.

00:24
May 22, 2001

from Colleen

as the fire dims down just a little before someone stokes it up or adds firewood there is a rustling sound up in the trees, then a whoosh and a whirr and suddenly there is something dark and furry flapping around under the girls' shelter roof! A bat seems to have gotten lost in there.

00:40
May 22, 2001

Aggie goes to check in the girl's sleeping area to see if Lolli went in there. Aggie coes running out screamng very loudy, so loud that Ocono probably hears her.

00:46
May 22, 2001

Pierre

Wraps his arm with his shirt and runs over to the girls shelter and starts trying to scare the bat away.

00:47
May 22, 2001

Pierre

Aggie are you OK?

00:54
May 22, 2001

Aggie stands behind Pierre "Is it gone?"

00:57
May 22, 2001

Pierre

I am not seeing it right now but I didn't see it leave.

01:00
May 22, 2001

Aggie

I'm not sleeping in there tonight! Nobody is in there right? That was so scarey Cher?"

01:02
May 22, 2001

Pierre

Is still flopping his arm about wildly in the sleeping area. No I don't see anyone.

01:06
May 22, 2001

Aggie wonders where everyone is.

Aggie is watching Pierre while shaking all over.

01:09
May 22, 2001

Pierre

Petite Cher I think it is gone. why don't you sleep over with me a Trey. You will be safe there.

01:13
May 22, 2001

"Thanks Cher! I think I will if you don't mind. Can you get my sleeping bag, please?"

01:18
May 22, 2001

Pierre

Petite Cher come on I am going back to bed. You can sleep in our area. there is plenty of room and I am tired and need to go to sleep.

01:18
May 22, 2001

oooops that was Aggie

01:19
May 22, 2001

Aggie

Gives Pierre a hug. "goodnight Cher!"

01:21
May 22, 2001

Pierre

Yes Cher I will get it. Meet me at the other shelter and I will bring your sleeping bag over and I will shake it out good.

He grabs her sleeping bag and shakes the day lights out of it and opens it up and shakes it some more.

01:21
May 22, 2001

Pierre

Petite Cher it is gone. Here is your sleeping bag.

01:26
May 22, 2001

Pierre

Good night sweet dreams.

01:26
May 22, 2001

Aggie

"Thanks Cher!"

01:27
May 22, 2001

Pierre

Petite Cher anything for you all you are my family out here.

01:29
May 22, 2001

Trey

Trey wakes up, rolls over and ... hey why can't he stretch out? Oh, he just rolled over on something, .....it is Aggie! What is she doing here, as a matter of fact trey thinks the whole team is in the boys tiny shelter. He struggles to get out of his bag quietly. He is so confused. What happened last night? I heard a blood curdling scream but in my dreams I was at home watching a scary movie, I thought the scream was on TV. I hope everything is OK.

07:17
May 22, 2001

Meggie

Meggie gets up quietly and goes to tend to the fire. She takes a banana which is hanging up and sits near the fire. Meggie is thinking about alliances and who is involved in them. She knows they are going on but she doesn't know who is involved and she feels very hurt about it but she isn't quite sure what to do about them. "Trey" she calls softly.

07:18
May 22, 2001

Trey gets up puts some wood on the fire and starts cooking the oatmeal. He creaps back into the shelter to grab a banana off the stalk. It is really nice to have these. He slices them to add to the oatmeal.

07:20
May 22, 2001

Trey

"hey Meggie, Over here, I'm already up and have the oatmeal on. We have got to get rid of the 2 fires, its is really confusing in the mornings. LOL Did you stleep in our shelter last night too???"

07:24
May 22, 2001

Meggie

"Hi Trey, I'm glad you are up. Trey I have felt that we could talk together since we are breakfast buddies.....what is going on? WHy are you all in alliances and I am the only one left out? Why do you guys hate me?" Meggie is crying now.

07:27
May 22, 2001

from Colleen

Good Morning Islanders! It's a nice day with a strong breeze from the east-northeast, mostly cloudy but no sign of rain (yet anyway). There is a strong heat index warning!!!! no strenuous activity today, if you are out in the sun it is almost exhausting in the humid hot air. Hopefully that will cool off later. It's 86 degrees with a heat index of 96.

10:45
May 22, 2001

Pierre

"It is all my fault. No one else is to blame, just me. forgive me!" "I am nothing but problems for this group my family"

He then walks out into the jungle. He turns as he reaches the jungle and says softly "I am sorry. Good bye."

11:48
May 22, 2001

Meggie

Meggie decides to go swimming since it is so hot out. She will try to catch some lobsters as she swims.

14:46
May 22, 2001

Marissa

" Meggie, can I come along to help hunt lobsters ? I could use a swim to cool off! Is there anything else I can help with ? Pierre, don't be sad, we all understand, that is part of playing this game. I appreciate your honesty1 I'd been wondering what you two were whispering about! I guess what we should think about is an aliance between all the members of Nicarong, before we merge with the other tribe..

16:45
May 22, 2001

Marissa

" Maybe we should go after Him... You don't think he'd do anything silly now do you ?" Marissa is worried about Pierre, but afraid to go after him, for fear he wants to be alone, and will be mad. She hopes the others will go with her though to check on him. I hope he's not planning on leaving for good :(

16:49
May 22, 2001

Meggie

"I would love to have you come hunt lobsters with me Marissa. Lets do that for a while then we can go look for Pierre. That way he will have a little time to be by himself to think about things. Maybe he will want to talk then. Come on lets go."

17:02
May 22, 2001

Marissa

Hrads off after Meggie :)

18:34
May 22, 2001

Meggie

Meggie and Marissa bring their haul of lobsters up with them to the campsite where they cook them up for dinner. "It is so quiet here....I wonder where everyone is. Let's just cook the lobsters up and everyone else can eat them when they get back to camp. Lets cook some taro too with the lobsters."

23:11
May 22, 2001

Pierre

Comes back to camp and goes to sleep.

00:00
May 23, 2001

Meggie

Meggie wakes up and looks around to see if Trey has started the fire yet. She decides he will be along very soon so she gets a banana. She gets out two vitamins for her and Trey and doles out a little serving of oatmeal for both of them and sits down to wait.

07:08
May 23, 2001

Meggie

Meggie figures she had better get the fire going since Trey is still sleeping.

07:29
May 23, 2001

Trey rolls over and sees Meggie working on the fire. He crls out of his sleeping bag rolling it up carefully. "Morning Meggie, ya beat me up this morning, Huh?

07:35
May 23, 2001

Meggie

"Hi Trey. I was hoping you would get up soon. I waited at first to see if you were going to tend to the fire but you didn't get up so I did it. I have the oatmeal all doled out and here's your vitamin and some of the banana to put in the oatmeal."

07:37
May 23, 2001

Trey

"Thanks Meggie, you take good care of me. Sorry to disappear for most of the day yesterday, I got feelin prutty sick so I found a place away from everyone else. I always get sick too, when I see someone else gets sick. I'm excited about the playday today."

07:46
May 23, 2001

Trey

"before we leave today, I want to go get some more firewood and fresh water."

07:52
May 23, 2001

Trey - "Thanks for breakfast Meggie, here I'll wash the dishes, then I'm off for fresh water, wanna come with me?"

07:55
May 23, 2001

From Colleen Good Morning Kosrae! It's a calm cloudy day, 78 degrees and no sign of rain! Not too hot and perfect for a day of fun in the sun...

12:35
May 23, 2001

Trey gets back from refilling the water jugs and getting more firewood. He looks around ready to go to the beach party but doesn't see anyone. Looks like everyone has already headed to the challange beach. He hopes there is a lot of food. Trey puts on his aussie hat and heads to the beach party, very excited.

19:55
May 23, 2001

Meggie

Meggie runs back to gather up the rest of the tribe. "Come on we are having so much fun over on the beach and the food is wonderful. If anyone can hear me, please can we discuss the immunity challenge later or in the morning....I want some help trying to decide on strategies..."

21:30
May 23, 2001

Lolli

walks quietly thru the camp...doesn't see anybody, and wonders if they didn't go to the luau...maybe I should have gone? I'm just sad though....I don't think everybody is being completely honest with each other...Mommy always says that a whisper is a secret and a secret is a lie...but, is it always?? I don't know...but, I do know that there are whisperers around here...and it makes me sooooo sad that people would do that to each other!

walks to the shelter and shakes out her sleeping bag and hugs Teddy really tight! and quietly cries herself to sleep

23:19
May 23, 2001

Gia comes into camp and walks into the shelter, gently waking up Lolli for a few minutes at least. She is holding a cocnut cup filled with a nina colada milkshake. She sets down a plate of nummy foods and tells Lollie the luau is almost over and they would all LOVE to have her come if she wants, but if she doesn't, then at least try some of the food. The cooks workedso hard to make something for everyone...Then Gia hugs Lolli and walks back to the luau.

23:49
May 23, 2001

From Colleen, as the players start to walk back from the luau, and as the shadows grow darker as the night creeps in you start hearing crunching noises under your feet! bugs? leaves? you shine a torch down to see the ground and it looks like a positive carpet of tiny crabs! They are marching en masse towards the sandy beaches by your camp. They are small things, but as you approach some seem to charge, pinchers raised in the air and waving you off! It is stupid to be intimidated by something so small in relation to a person, but they look really scary!

There is a positive horde of them and as you get closer to camp they are everywhere, you hear them rustling in the underbrush, you see clumps of them on your backpacks, in the shadows, on the logs and everywhere.

00:15
May 24, 2001

From Colleen: The tiny crabs are everywhere, some walking right over your feet as they head to the ocean to mate and lay eggs. It's pretty creepy hearing them move around, and seeing the hundreds of them shifting in the corner of your eye. It's going to be a long night!

00:27
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Goes over to the girls sleeping area and holds a branch that is on fire on one end of it and tries to get the bugs away from the girls without waking them.

00:31
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Thinks to himself. "there is no reason to wake them, there is no where to go to get away from them. I just hope they sleep through this. I wish there was more I could do."

He holds the flame just outside their cover giving light to help keep the crabs away from them.

00:42
May 24, 2001

Aggie wakes to feel something crawling on her face. She jumps up and sees Pierre.

"Cher, whats crawling on me?" Terror in her eyes.

00:43
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Petite Cher they are everywhere be quite, try not to wake the others. They are just crabs going to the ocean.

00:46
May 24, 2001

Pierre

I will be here all night or until they are gone I slept real late today so i am rested if you can go back to sleep.

00:47
May 24, 2001

Aggie

"I'll try to"

00:52
May 24, 2001

Pierre

OK Petite Cher. I will try to keep them off of you all. Sweet dreams.

00:54
May 24, 2001

Trey gets closer to camp but there are some strange noises out here tonight, and a crunching sound under his feet. By teh time he gets back to camp he is almost scared, what is going on?"

01:00
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Puts his finger to his mouth and says "SSSHH don't wake them tehy are only crabs. cather some and we will have crab tomorrow."

01:02
May 24, 2001

Trey

When he gets to camp he sees pierre with his torch and the ground is moving, "Yuk!!! Its crabs! Pierre what are you doing?"

01:02
May 24, 2001

Trey

"what can I do to help?" he whispers(good whispers) as he goes to get his torch to help Pierre.

01:05

Pierre

Trey I don't know what to do other than try to keep them off of the girls Aggie woke up a little bit ago but she fell back to sleep. I slept real late today I think I have it if you think you can sleep go ahead and try.

01:11
May 24, 2001

Trey takes part of the mesquito netting on the boys shelter and fills in some vacant places on the girls shelter. He sits indian style on one of tht fireplace logs. The crabs are running under it. Its is actually neat to watch and creepy at the same time. Looks like Pierre is gonna stay up most of the night. Trey will stay up with him, to keep an eye on these critters.

01:15
May 24, 2001

Pierre

You sure Trey I don't sleep that well any way. and I have a lot on my mind I really don't mind sitting here with the girls.

01:18
May 24, 2001

Meggie

Meggie wakes up quickly and she realizes that as she moves there are crunchy things in her hair and all around her caught in her sleeping bag. She screams and then runs out of the bag quickly crying. Meggie feels very alone these past few days. She used to feel like her tribe was a nice happy family and suddenly there are all these secrets. She decides she isn't hungry and just sits on the log by the fire area and rocks herself as she cries softly.

07:18
May 24, 2001

Trey

"Mornin Meggie, Pierre & I tried to keep them our of your tent but I kept falling asleep. I'm sorry. Here sit all the way up on the log and keep your feet up too. They don't hurt, they are just creepy. I promise Meggie, I will take care of you. He give her a hug. So, are you ready for a little breakfast? I'm not sure anyone will be very hungry with all we ate yesterday."

07:24
May 24, 2001

Meggie

Meggie goes to get a hug from Trey. While she cries, she says, "Trey I thought you were all my friends and then you were all whispering and you all made deals with one another and left me out and I'm all alone....." She cries harder.

07:29
May 24, 2001

Meggie, please trust me, everything will be Ok. We just need to win tonights immunity so we don't have to vote anyone off tomorrow. Lets make Ocono vote another person off. They are very nice, but they are not our team. I want our team to stay together as long as posibble. We have to do good tonight, none of us are ready to go home yet, right?"

07:52
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Wakes up with a jolt "I'm Sorry I fell asleep"

10:06
May 24, 2001

Inita

Announces to tribe members - As soon as we can get these pesky crabs under control we need to have a tribe meeting.

10:11
May 24, 2001

Pierre

We see how our alliance was tearing the tribe apart, we're sorry. We will work as a tribe, each of us are a member of the Nicarong Alliance. We will handle voting members off by volunteer or drawing straws. Or we can have Colleen role a dice with each of us having an assigned number. Or some other way that we all feel is fair. We all have a say in this. This way we are in a stronger position to have a Nicarong win it all. We feel this is the only fair way to do this. We have not tried to be mean to any of you and we were willing to leave Moon on and vote for Marrissa if she really wanted to leave. We have not been mean to any of you. I am sorry I lied about the only alliance was me and Lolli. Lolli didn't know about the whole alliance. And they didn't know about Lolli, I had asked Lolli to join an alliance and Lolli was very iffy on the whole thing and after some talking I talked her into it. Actually I ended up talking all of the alliance members in to joining. Because I am to blame here and most of you probably have trust problems with me. I volunteer to go first. You all can trust each other. I will not name names on who all was in this alliance. That is up to them, to tell. I will teach any one who wants to know all of my little tricks for the survival of the tribe. Just let me know and I will take time to teach you. You know like traps and anything else I might know. Thank you I have enjoyed all this time with you all. I never meant to hurt anyone. You all must agree to this, for Nicarong to win this game. If someone tries to whisper to me I will not answer if you have something to tell me tell me here that way there can be no misunderstandings.

Now I am going to go to the woods to be alone for a little while. I will be back in a little bit.

11:06
May 24, 2001

Inita

I am admitting to being in the secret alliance, too. The point of the secret alliance was not to target or hurt the individuals excluded from the alliance. But since that is what ended up happening we all agreed that it would be best to disband the secret alliance and dedicate our efforts and strategies to the good of the ENTIRE tribe. I hope that the members who were left out can forgive us for our mistake.

What Pierre had mentioned is all of us committing to be in ONE TRIBAL alliance. Voting each other off is hard enough. So hopefully by working together we can come to a more agreeable and peaceful way to vote each other off. We all have good and bad days when we would gladly take the chance to go home, so that seems to be a fair way - to have someone volunteer. Then if there are no volunteers we can do like Pierre mentioned - draw straws, roll die, etc. I hope that this will be a time of healing for us so we can go forward as a stronger tribe. Please share your thoughts about this new approach to the game. Thanks....

12:51
May 24, 2001

Aggie

"I wsant to come out and be honest oo. I was also in the alliance, but I have been feeling so badly about it. I never wanted to vote off anyone, to me it was as if Moon wanted to go home. I know I was wrong to be in an alliance and I have no one to blame but myself. I'm sorry everyone. I love everyone in our tribe and I want us all to stick together and be a family again. we will win the immunity today! Please don't hate me!"

Aggie is crying so hard she is barely autible.

12:53
May 24, 2001

Inita

hugs Aggie

Aggie, it's OK. We are doing the right thing now. Nobody hates you.

12:57
May 24, 2001

Aggie goes over and hugs Inita.

"Well said Inita. I hope thry all understand and will forgive us."

Aggie takes a couple of deep breaths to calm down.

13:01
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Walks into the camp with two traps. They are funny looking things they are square, with a top and a bottom. And on one end it looks like there is string or something hanging form them and they have a hole in the top of them, one hole is about 3 inches round and the other is about 5 to 6 inches around.

Hi I have made a crawfish trap and a crab or lobster trap. All you have to do is put some bait in them like a dead animal or something like that and drop them in the water. You will need to repair them as needed, and don't forget to tie them off or something, otherwise they will float away, they will sink, but with the tide and things you want to make sure that they don't go with the tide."

13:06
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Hi Inita and Petite Cher. I feel a lot better now look at teh traps this should keep you all in food. Just make sure to do them like I said. You may have to repair them or make new ones latter. So study them and you can replace them as needed.

13:10
May 24, 2001

Aggie

"Hi Cher"

13:11
May 24, 2001

Inita

to Pierre, I am glad you came back. But don't get your heart set on going home anytime soon. We haven't even played the immunity challenge yet. (laughing lightly)

Please give the other tribe members a chance to speak their minds about what we did before you hammer the nails in your own coffin. It might not be as bad as you think it is.

13:11
May 24, 2001

From colleen: It's a hot hot day and as the sun vomes out the crabs seem to shift away. Hopefully the next full moon it won't be such a surprise. It is a little breezy, and the sky is cloudy with white puffy clouds. The temperature is only 87, but the heat index is 95, so you might actually be looking forward to the waterballoons to cool you off! Except a hit means a point which means 1 step closer to tribal council tomorrow. there was one short shower very early in the mornig, but it doesn't look like more showers anytime soon.

either email me or post on the challenge beach page when you want to take your challenge!!! Good luck everyone!

One side note, you can decide however you want, but Colleen can have no part in the tribal council decisions. if you guys make it random it is on your own, and (this is important) whatever is posted on the pages here, each person is left to send their email vote to me. The email votes are not revealed (til after the game ends at least). Good Luck!

13:11
May 24, 2001

Pierre

I figure You all are mostly city kids and haven't seen stuff like this so I am just doing the things I have been thinking about. This will be easier to get food. Also I just want to make sure that you all know how to do this for the next time we do loose, and I don't want to take a chance that we might loose, and you all don't know how. The larger of these is for the crabs and lobster.

13:16
May 24, 2001

Aggie

"Please Cer, wait and see how the others feel and how we do on the challenge tonight."

13:17
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Petite Cher I have a lot to do, to get ready, and just in case I want the tribe to be OK if I am gone after this. I am OK with this decision. My Mommy always says "You made your bed now lie in it." I think this applies here. I will be back after whild I have some more stuff to do. See you in a little bit.

13:21
May 24, 2001

Aggie

'I am going down to challenge beach now, want to come Inita?"

13:30
May 24, 2001

Inita

Aggie, thanks for the invitation. But I want to wait until later to do the challenge. If you go now, I'll come along and cheer you on. :-)

13:32
May 24, 2001

Aggie

"Inita I can't wait cuz mommy has t go out so I'm going to have to do it now."

13:35
May 24, 2001

Inita

Aggie, no problem. I can cheer you on now. I just can't play yet. Good luck!!

13:40
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Comes into camp with two traps. They look used and chewed on. He sits down with them and works on them. They are about a foot by a foot. a little different than the other two. these have a dorr that opens from the inside like it is a trap door. He sets it on the ground and puts a stick in it to hold the door up and on the stick he tied a small vine. "You put the bait here on the back of the trap, you tie the bait to this vine and when the animal comes in and takes the bate it pulls the sticka nd the stick falls over closing the door, the door is so close to the sides that the animal can't easily open the door to get out. Remember to check this trap at least twice a day. because if you catch nutria it can eat it's way out."

15:55
May 24, 2001

Meggie

Meggie has mostly stayed by herself during the day. "OK...here is what I think. I was not asked to be in the alliance and yes I was hurt. It was not like only two people were in on it...almost the whole tribe was..only a few of us -two to be exact were left out. I tried to think of why I was left out and I could not come up with a reason. I am glad things are out in the open but after being shut out like that I still don;t feel like I can trust everyone. How do I know you are not forming other alliances? This is a survivor game and yes that is the way to do things but I did think we had a special group here and I just could not understand why some of us were left out. I have no anger toward you Pierre and I do not feel you have to go if we lose tonite. I am really not angry at anyone, I am just hurt that is all....and just feeling very alone. I loved every one of you and I wanted you guys to like me. So what do we want to do? I will be very happy to work with the tribe again to keep us all together."

16:24
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Meggie these alliances were formed when we first came to the island and to be honest it wasn't that you were not picked for any reason. It was just picking people that you had no idea about. The pickings were basicly random. Like putting names in a hat and drawing them out. You and Marrissa were not singled out, niether was Moon. It was random picking. I am sorry that your feelings were hurt. When the alliance was made the object was to have at least four in it. Once that happened I quit asking. As I said Lolli was real iffy about joining and I spent a lot of time talking her into it. So Originally I was nervous about her and the rest of the alliance. So I decided to keep her away from the others. I take all of the blame here. You have been a real good player. I consider you and all of my tribe mates as friends. In the beginning though I didn't know anyone and didn't know how well the tribe would get along. I am to blame for all of our problems. I am sorry.

16:35
May 24, 2001

Pierre

I can tell you that I don't think there will be anymore alliance other than the tribe because of the way it is set up to vote tribe members off. At this point it wouldn't make sence to have an alliance there is no point in it. the point of an alliance is to make sure you stay on the island for as long as you can and now it is an individuals choice to leave or the random throwing of dice. Or what ever you all decide to do. The votes should be all for one person except for one vote. Because if I understand You cannot vote for yourself. The first time that didn't happen You know there is an alliance.

16:44
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Also, If we had decided to keep the alliance going we could have done that. We could have outvoted everyone here. Rest assured there is only one alliance and you are a memeber of it. It is Nicarong Tribe. I wish you all well!

16:51
May 24, 2001

Meggie

"That is not true Pierre. You are not to blame for everything. I think anyone that joined the alliance bears equal blame. I guess I just did not understand why people would go against any one else especially when it seemed like we were getting along so well and that is why I was hurt. And it certainly was not only you who made me feel hurt. Everyone and anyone who formed that alliance and left just a few of us out were the ones. SO now that we have assigned blame it is time to move on. It does no good to blame anyone and I am tired of crying. I guess I just know that I cannot do anything to hurt anyone else and if others can that is their business. I still love everyone on the tribe no matter how they made me feel. And to tell you the truth, I always had a feeling that you and Trey were involved and Aggie and Lolli but I had no idea it included Inita too. If you guys would rather just stay within your little group you can vote me and Marissa off and then you will be all together. I can live with too. I will do what we all decide to do. If we want to use a dice I will go along with that...if we just will vote by ourselves who goes off, then it will be that way. I do definitely agree that when we merge together, we should remain together as a team and vote off any Ocono members. That is because we are and should be family to each other. Ok I have had my say...."

16:53
May 24, 2001

Pierre

No the only thing now is Nicarong Tribe no more behind the back things. It is important for this team to win it all. That is all that matters to me. Again I am sorry, I do like everyone here. In the beginning I thought it was needed to do it and if I would have waited I would have realized that. But that is my error. I will live with that, I will go home a much smarter boy. I thank you for telling me what you think.

Are you going to go over to the challenge? If you are I would like to walk with you.

16:58
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Meggie I would also like to point out that there would have not been an alliance if I didn't form it. I talked these kids into joining me. None of them did it eagerly I talked them into it. So yes I am to blame they may hold a minor blame but not near as much as me.

17:04
May 24, 2001

Meggie

"Sure, Pierre. I will gladly walk with you. But I want a hug first."

17:05
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Meggie I would think it an honor to hug you!

He gives her a big Bear hug picking her up offf of the ground a few inches.

17:07
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Lola hit me twice, I hope you do better than I did. I didn't hit Lola at all.

17:09
May 24, 2001

Pierre

The one thing I feel the worst about was Lieing to Lolli. I will never forgive my self for that. That was wrong to lie straight in her face. that I am truely sorry for.

tears up a bit, and walks on.

17:17
May 24, 2001

Pierre

There is one more thing I would like to point out. That is Although Lolli joined an alliance between her and me after a lot of talking! She voted her on mind and not with me! I think you should give her a lot of credit with that. Further more she wanted to be honest about the alliance. Lolli is a great person and I will always remember her for that!

17:47
May 24, 2001

Trey, comes slowly back into the camp. "Hi everyone, I've been listening to everything everone had to say. Now it is my turn to talk. I was also in the alliance, which I guess everyone already knew, obviously. I am really sorry for hurting everyone. Meggie, I am especially sorry to have hurt you, I consider you to be my best buddy here, because we spend so much time together in the mornings. I have always looked forward to beating you to making breakfast in the mornings, until this past week. It has been pure HECK to me. I hope everone finds it in their hearts to forgive me someday. If you want to vote me off next, i understand that.

When the TV show Survivor was on, my Mom & I watched it(both of them) together every week, we talked about strategies & staying healthy & alliances. Mom told me if anyone asked me to join an alliance that I should join it because the people in the alliances help to take care of the other people in it too. I love my Mom but I have learned a lot of things from all of you while I have been here, in this case she was wrong. She has no idea what a great tribe we have because everyone helps take care of each other.

Please don't be mad at Pierre, he was doing what has proved successful in the past. However, it is time to show how strong a whole team alliance can be. I'm sorry, My mind is going so fast I can't remember all the things I have wanted to say all week. I'm sorry, but I'm having a really hard time talking, can I make some other statements later?" Sniff, sniff, and he goes back into the jungle.

20:46
May 24, 2001

Meggie

"I think I did feel the most hurt by you Trey because I felt you and I were best buddies too. To think you talked to me every morning and knew you were keeping something from me does really hurt. I would like to move on now and get away from the hurt so lets pull together as a team and forgive and forget. If I can do that, I think you all should."

22:37
May 24, 2001

Marissa

" I've been having bad feelings that something is worng at home :( If we loose the imunity challenge, I would like to go home! I wanted to stay on, and you all made me fell so welcomed, I hated to leave. I'm worried now, and very homesick. My heart just isn't in the game anymore:( I hope you all undertand! I've thought this out for a long time now, and I'm sure this is what I want! Marissa sighs deeeply as tears run down her cheeks

23:29
May 24, 2001

Pierre

Marrissa I am sorry to here that but I think it would be best if I left. I have been doing so much around here behind peoples backs that for the tribe to survive I think it is neccesarry for me to go.

23:34
May 24, 2001

Marissa

Pierre, I think that you are wrong! You have done very much to help us too! If it weren't for you and Trey, we wouldn't have had all the good food that we have!! Please don't feel so bad about what you have done! I'm sorry to be a downer, but I would really like to go home!!

23:38
May 24, 2001

Pierre

It is what is best for the tribe, Marrissa That and the fact that I would like to go home as well I come from a poor family and I can help there instead of being on an exotic island half way around the world.

23:41
May 24, 2001

Lolli

quietly comes out from the girls' shelter...Pierre, you are NOT a bad person...I was uncomfortable with the alliance in the first place, I should have said so from the beginning and been done with it...Meggie, I have always considered you and Marissa my friends, just as much as everybody else...every decision I have made since I have been here was based on a lot of thought and tears and thinking about what Mommy and Daddy and Grandma would do...I never meant to hurt anyone and I will always try and be the best person I can be, but, I make mistakes...probably more than the rest of you! I was the one that got all upset because of the alliances, even though I was in one!

Meggie and Marissa...please, forgive me for not being honest and please, if nothing else, please, remember that I love everybody in our tribe.

23:43
May 24, 2001

Lolli

walks up to Marissa and looks at her feet...I know that I shouldn't ask this, but, will you trust me and tell me what you are feeling worried about? I promise that you can always depend on me to listen when you need me to!

she hopes that Marissa knows that she wants to give her a hug and try and make some of the icky feelings go away

23:49
May 24, 2001

From Colleen

Gia is waiting at challenge ebach for any players who can play ina tie-breaker. Only 1 player is needed from each team, but more are welcome...

23:52
May 24, 2001

Trey

'get ready guys, we have a tie-breaker. Mairssa you did good. That was a hard game."

23:53
May 24, 2001

Lolli

Pierre, you don't need to be the one that goes home...and I don't think we should roll a dice to decide either...I think we should always vote our own minds and hearts...I am the first to tell that it was very hard to decide, I didn't want to vote anyone off!!! If I had been able to, I would have voted for myself! and if we are going to get into a discussion about who isn't needed here! It is ME! I am the one that has been sulking for the last week! I disappear into the jungle, even though we decided a long time ago that we should be able to see each other at least! How about this...when we have to vote again, we vote our own minds and hearts...that is what I will always do! I don't think I could vote Pierre off!! Him and Trey are a lot of the reason that we have the food we have, Marissa and Meggie and Aggie and Inita are all good fisherpeople...I help cook, when I am here and I lend out my Teddy and cuddle...that's not a lot! So, let's just vote for ourselves...

23:55
May 24, 2001

Lolli

who is going to go to challenge beach??

23:57
May 24, 2001

Trey

'Does anyone WANT to go to the tie-breaker?"

23:59
May 24, 2001

Lolli

I didn't do too well today, but I will go, if you want me to

00:01
May 25, 2001

Trey

I will go with you, Ocono is taking turns, we have 5 balloons to throw. They are waiting for us now"

00:05
May 25, 2001

From colleen, when Meghan gets ready to go to sleep, her Tweety blanket is nowhere to be found.

00:09
May 25, 2001

Trey gets back to camp late from the tie-breaker and heads for bed, but he hears someone crying.

00:40
May 25, 2001

Lollli

With her arms around Trey and Aggie, coming back from Challenge Beach...I am soooo tired! We have to find out where Meggie, Inita, Marissa and Pierre are! We need a good night of cuddling! That's what we need! We need to cuddle!

00:41
May 25, 2001

Lolli

I gotta go to bed! Trey, find out who is crying! I want to stay! But, it is way past my bedtime! OOOOO I feel rotten now!

00:43
May 25, 2001

Trey

"I'v got to go to bed too. but I can't with someone crying, It sounds like Meggie to me but where is she? Is she in the girls shelter?"

00:50
May 25, 2001

Trey

" I think if we can find Meggie, we shoudl go with your idea and cuddle tonight. Meggie, where are you, I just heard you."

00:57
May 25, 2001

Trey finds Meggie, asleep behind a tree next to the campsite. He picks her up and carries her to her shelter, and puts her in her sleeping bag. He still doesn't know why she is crying, but he is sure it is his fault. He gets his sleeping bag and goes and cuddles with the girls. He falls asleep immediately since he was up mostof last night with the crabs. Sweet dreams everyone

01:02
May 25, 2001

Meggie

Meggie gets up with a tummy ache. She is so upset about having to deal with another tie breaker and knows that mommy goes to work early in the morning so she can't help too much. She won two points in the first round and wants desperately to help the team this time...."Trey are you up yet?" Meggie doesn't remember how she got back into her sleeping bag...

07:16
May 25, 2001

Trey

Trey gets up, stretches and goes to Meggie to give her a hug, "Mornin Meggie, how are you feelin today? Why were you crying last night? It sounded like you were mumbling in your sleep, maybe something about Tweety bird?"

07:20
May 25, 2001

Trey

Trey gets up, stretches and goes to Meggie to give her a hug, "Mornin Meggie, how are you feelin today? Why were you crying last night? It sounded like you were mumbling in your sleep, maybe something about Tweety bird?"

07:21
May 25, 2001

Trey

"OOPS!" he giggles, " these late nights and early mornings are really getting to me"

07:22
May 25, 2001

Meggie

Meggie is still upset,..."I can't find my tweety bird blanky and I looked all over for it and I wanted to hug it since I was so afraid of our team losing..."

07:23
May 25, 2001

Meggie

"you have done everything you can to win points, 2 out of 4 balloon hits is cool in my book. I can't do the tie-breaker either. In fact let me finish breakfast and get going cause my mom is gonna be late too. She is walking the dog at home about now. Here have some oatmeal and a vitamin and relax."

07:27
May 25, 2001

Trey

" Oh Tweety is your blanky, I'm sorry, I knew you had a blanket but didn't know it had Tweety on it. We will look High & low for it today. When did you have it last?"

07:30
May 25, 2001

Meggie

"I had it before we walked over to Challenge Beach to do the challenge last night. I don't know where it could have gone...."

07:37
May 25, 2001

Trey

"Meggie, I am going lookin for it right now, What color was it? Why don't you ask Ms Colleen if she saw anything or can give us a hint where it might be. I'm going down here towards the playground. See ya later, Allygator."

07:57
May 25, 2001

From Colleen, it's an overcast day, with light sporadic showers. You don't need balloons to get wet today! It's 84 degrees with a fairly strong wind from the northeast.

I am doing another tie-breaker 5 more balloons for each team. All I need is one player from each team meet me at challenge beach. Good luck!

lastly, Colleen can give no clues as to the Tweety blanket, it was there before, now it is just gone. The only thing I can say is that things in the girls tent were moved around a little.

12:33
May 25, 2001

From Colleen, Nicarong has done their tie-breaker and scored 1 point, as soon as Ocono can go we will have a result.

13:38
May 25, 2001

Meggie

"That is wonderful that we won a point. I hope Ocono doesn't. I asked Ms Colleen about my tweety blanky and she said things got moved around a little in the girls tent. Have any of you seen my little Tweety blanky? It was so nice and soft and I loved it", (She is whimpering).

14:41
May 25, 2001

Roxie has taken her tie-breaker turn and it's official! you folks are trying to drive me crazy! check out the challenge beach page for results..."

From Colleen: Gia looks VERY tired now so she hopes we can resolve this soon! the tribal council will obviously take place tomorrow, and go on as long as it takes to get all votes in. since it is a holiday weekend, I may be slower to reply to emails but I'll check as often as I can. HERE is how the FINAL tiebreak will work. I am going to pick a square in the grid and NOT move around. The tribes will alternate throwing at me, ANY member can post here that they throw, just yell the square you are throwing at. WHOEVER hits me first wins immunity. I repeat, I will NOT be moving and will stay in the same square until hit. Sorry if this sounds all or nothing, but we have to to finish this one way or another. I am randomly rolling a dice to see who goes first...Nicarong goes first! if more than one person from a team posts I will take the first posted throw. Good luck!

16:24
May 25, 2001

From Colleen: the FINAL tiebreaker is over and Ocono has won immunity! I will email Nicarong with Gia's questions, feel free to send your votes anytime after I post the questions and answers...

16:55
May 25, 2001

Meggie

Meggie sits down by the log near the fire and softly cries. She thinks what is going to happen now. She doesn't want to vote someone off and is miserable.

16:58
May 25, 2001

Aggie

Aggie comes back to camp with 3 lobsters. She notics Meggie is crying and her smile fades. Meggie, whats wrong? How'd the tie-breaker go? sorry I didn't make it."

17:49
May 25, 2001

Meggie

"Oh Aggie, we lost the tiebreaker and we need to pick one person to leave. What are we going to do."

17:57
May 25, 2001

Aggie hugs Meggie tight.

"Its going to be alright Meggie, I think we have to do this right this time. If Marissa wants to really go, we let her, but if not we will all discuss this, with NO ALLIANCES, but our whole tribe."

18:24
May 25, 2001

Meggie

Hugs Aggie back...."Well you were the five who were in an alliance. I wasn't so I have no idea of whether you all mean it or not. I guess if Marissa and I are voted off first, then we will really know the truth."

19:21
May 25, 2001

Meggie

Meggie is still upset..."Plus my tweety blanky is missing...I don't know who could have taken it..."

20:07
May 25, 2001

Inita

Meggie, stop being paranoid. We all confessed about the alliance already! Get over it and focus on playing the game, please.

I agree with what Lolli said earlier. No rolling dice to see who gets voted off. We can see if there is a volunteer and if not, then we vote our conscience.

21:05
May 25, 2001

Inita

Thanks for your distrust, Meggie. It is so heartwarming (she says sarcastically).

21:11
May 25, 2001

Pierre

I will make it easy Vote for Pierre! I deserve it! I have cxaused more problems than anyone and I would like to go home.

21:56
May 25, 2001

Meggie

"Ms. Colleen was the one who said things were moved around not me, Inita. What is your problem anyway? WHy are you such a meanie today?"

22:39
May 25, 2001

Aggie gets weary of all the bickering and says, "Everyone stop getting snippy with each other! Meggie if you don't believe that we aren't in an alliance, than don't. We all admitted to it and ended the alliance. We all felt bad cyz we love everyone in the tribe! No one took your blanky ither and we'd all be happy to help look for it!"

"I think we should all voe for the SURVIVOR hence the name "Survivor" unless we have an actual volenteer."

22:39
May 25, 2001

Meggie

"I think you are the one being paranoid Inita. I didn't accuse anyone here of taking it.....maybe an animal carried it off....all I know is it is missing. I am very willing to work with the group together altho now with you being so vicious, I don't know if you can. Maybe we are finally seeing the real you...a mean little girl."

22:44
May 25, 2001

Meggie

"Ok Aggie's right. We are all probably feeling edgy because of the challenge and having to vote someone off. And yes, I would like you guys to help me find my blanky."

22:49
May 25, 2001

Aggie

"I'd love to help yu try to find it Meggie! Have you looked in the jungle much?"

22:52
May 25, 2001

Meggie

"Thanks Aggie. No I have just looked around the camp. I did look near the beach but no luck."

22:55
May 25, 2001

Aggie and Meggie leave camp to go search the jungle for the elusive blanky.

22:57
May 25, 2001

Pierre

Meggie I looked all day for your blanky and I didn't see hide nor hair of it.

23:02
May 25, 2001

Meggie

"Thanks Pierre for looking. I really appreciate it."

23:03
May 25, 2001

Trey walks back into camp from the jungle.

"Hey guys, its a jungle out there(sorry, bad pun, I just couldn't help myself. I'm so tired I'm giddy). Seriously Meggie, I have been looking for your Tweety blankie all day, but I'm beginning to think we might be looking in the wrong play. I wasn't checking high up in the trees. Is there monkees here? If so maybe one of them thought it was cute and comfy too, and took it up in the trees with him. Pierre, did you think to look up. I didn't till I was almost back to camp. I'm sorry we haven't found it yet."

23:11
May 25, 2001

Trey

"Marissa, are you really serious about wanting to go home? I don't want to send you home if you don't want to, but if you do, I will help you by voting for you. I hope you are not asking to go home because of the alliance fiasco. We all know now that is was a mistake and but it really did seem like the right thing to do at the time. We just didn't know how important every member of our team was until it was too late. I'm terribly sorry for hurting you and Meggie and Lolli(we didn't know she was involved at all). Please do not leave on account of it. Please vote me off instead. Please do not vote Pierre off. He has done everything he should in order to survive. If I had to vote today for the survivor winner, it would be him. He has worked his butt off around here, and loved everyone, whether they were in the alliance or not."

"Marissa, please let us know again. We love you and want you to stay, but if you are homesick and worried about things at home, we can help send you home."

23:28
May 25, 2001

Pierre

Trey I looked in the trees and looked on the ground I even looked to see something buried it. I saw no trace of it and no signs of fresh digs.

23:35
May 25, 2001

Trey

"Good Night gang, sweet dreams"

01:18
May 26, 2001

Pierre

Good morning!

gets a little amount of oatmeal and takes his vitamin.

08:02
May 26, 2001

Pierre

I am going to take the big traps down to the beach and see what we catch.

He walks the beach looking for something to use as bait. He see;s some of those oyster things and collects 5 or 6 of them and takes them out of thier shells and puts them in the trap. He then goes to the beach and ties of the trap to a rock and puts the trap in the water.

08:09
May 26, 2001

Pierre

Goes back to camp and gets the crawfish traps and drops some oysters in it and takes iot to the fresh water where he has caught crawfish before. ties it off and puts it in the water.

He then walks into the jungle. "I'll check the traps later.

08:24
May 26, 2001

Meggie

Meggie wakes up and doesn't see anyone else awake so she quietly gets herself a banana and little bit of oatmeal. Meggie decides to not let things bother her anymore, even her blanky. She finishes her breakfast and goes down to the beach to swim and catch lobsters for the group.

09:03
May 26, 2001

Pierre

Walks to the beach, "hey Meggie, I have a trap set to see if we can catch some Lobster's or crabs. But I don't know how well they will work."

09:09
May 26, 2001

Meggie

"Hi Pierre. I hope you catch some things in your traps. I also find that I have had luck swimming and diving under rocks and finding the lobsters. I have caught them by hand. If you go slowly you can find them. Want to try with me?"

09:13
May 26, 2001

Pierre

Meggie I really am not a good swimmer. Back home you stay out of the water when ever you can because of whats in it. So I will pass on diving for them.

09:44
May 26, 2001

Pierre

(Sorry took me so long this thing booted me and I had to reboot and stuff)

09:55
May 26, 2001

Trey

Morning Meggie & Pierre, I'd love to go diving with you. I've decided I might be Going home toninght so I want to have a fantastic day. Since I love the ocean, thats perfect."

10:39
May 26, 2001

Inita

to Meggie - You're the one being mean. After we went to all the trouble of trying to set things right you keep throwing it in our faces with your chronic distrust and paranoia. I am talking about your paranoia that there is still an alliance, not about your blanky. I never said anything about your blanky. I think your blanky is between your ears.

Please DO vote for me. I will certainly be voting for you! Not because of any alliance, but because we are trying to rebuild the tribe as one unified group and you are sabotaging it.

12:47
May 26, 2001

Meggie

"I don't know what is the matter with you Inita. You started being mean on Wed at the reward challenge when you got angry at me when I didn't know what kind of ice cream you liked. That is not true about chronic distrust at all. The fact that five of you formed an alliance and left two of us out did leave me with very hurt feelings. But you were the one who started calling me paranoid. I just wanted us all to be friends and feel like a family that is all. I have enough going on at home with Mommy that I don't need to be subjected to your nastiness. If you want to drag this game into the mud go right ahead. I didn't plan on voting for you but I will now."

13:52
May 26, 2001

Meggie

"I am talking to the whole tribe now. I don't think I ever did anything against any of you and suddenly I have this enemy who is certainly against me. I loved this group because I felt so much like I belonged and we were a family. When I found out about the alliance I felt lied to and betrayed. I can understand that you guys decided to stop it but can't you see how I was not all that sure you were really doing it. After all you did this for all of these weeks and didn't say anything. I do not want to keep bringing this up but something is wrong here and we need to either fix it or not. I cannot deal with such nastiness and I know my Momma can't. I have no idea why Ms Colleen mentioned the blanky was lost but I figured it needed to be played. If you all feel the way Inita does, then by all means vote me off. I want to feel part of a group which works together not one with enemies. I still cannot understand what happened to make this so distasteful but I guess we will see what happens."

14:01
May 26, 2001

Meggie

"Come on Trey come diving with us. It is lots of fun and I can show you how to find the lobsters under rocks."

14:11
May 26, 2001

Lolli

Okay...I understand what Meggie is saying...I was part of an alliance, :), as far as I am concerned, I am not in an alliance and will only be in one that includes ALL of this tribe! If there is still an alliance, that is the choice of the people involved, but, if Trey, Pierre, Inita and Aggie and I all say that we aren't involved, I am going to trust that there isn't...I may end up getting bitten in the tush (so to speak) but, I am going to trust that the people in our tribe, who we have all grown to love, are being honest! I am NOT going to vote what everybody else decides to vote! I am going to vote who I feel is the one that should go! We are, or rather, we were, a tribe to be PROUD of!! Meggie, you and Marissa are my friends, and after all of this is done, I DON'T want to worry that there will be hard feelings! THAT is what worries me! So, I agree with Meggie, we need to resolve this! This tribe was strong and together...now, we are falling apart! We have to fix it!

Does anybody have any suggestions??

14:17
May 26, 2001

Meggie

"Thanks Lolli. And yes I do want us all to feel like part of the group and not go home with bad feelings. And I can tell you now I have very bad feelings from being talked to that way. I am ready to call a truce and be friends with everyone (I thought I always was...I just felt badly never angry)but I don't know if that is possible now. Inita seems to want to pick a fight with me and I really don;t want to fight. I have no heart in it and it makes me cry."

14:26
May 26, 2001

Lolli

I just looked at what I had said! Okay, I think that could be misunderstood...I said that Meggie and Marissa were my friends...but, I feel that everybody in this group is my friend! That said, I just want to say, I wasn't trying to be mean to you Meggie, I was trying to say what I was feeling...okay, from this point on... I am starting over! As far as I am concerned, we are all friends, same as we were before! We are still a great group to be part of and PROUD of! We work well together! Yes, we made mistakes! Yes, feelings were hurt! Mine included! I was part of an alliance with Pierre, but, he NEVER told me about the others! And, from what Trey said, THEY never knew that he was in one with me! NOW! Pierre, don't misunderstand that either! YOU were playing the game the way that YOU thought it was meant to be played! To be perfectly honest...I think we should all move on! We are all little kids here! We get our feelings hurt, but, we can and will get over it! I know that my big sister and her best friends fight all the time! and then, the next day, they are going to each others' houses! "This too shall pass"

14:35
May 26, 2001

Meggie

"lolli please don't misunderstand what I said. I did NOT mean what YOU just said. I meant being talked to that way by Inita. I too want us all to move on and just think of the past fighting as little kids squabbling...that is fine with me."

14:38
May 26, 2001

Lolli

Meggie, okay! (HUGE sigh!!!) I feel better now!

14:50
May 26, 2001

Lolli

I think I am going for long walk! I need to relax for a little while! (besides, Mommy has LOTS to do this weekend!!)

14:51
May 26, 2001

Meggie

"I'm glad....now do you want to try catching lobsters with Trey and me?"

14:52
May 26, 2001

From Colleen: it's a cloudy windy day! ligtht showers but not for a long time, just off and on. It's only 86 butwith the heat index it feels like 96! The rain seems to be cooling things off and that strong wind from the west sure helps cool you off!

14:53
May 26, 2001

Lolli

I think I will go swimming with you to catch those lobster! That sounds like more fun than going for a walk by myself!!!

14:56
May 26, 2001

Meggie

"Oh good! It is lots of fun!"

14:57
May 26, 2001

Inita

to Meggie, First - I was not being mean to you Wednesday and I was not angry because you didn't know what ice cream was my favorite. Second, I am not mad at you now, either. I'm not trying to be mean or nasty to you, I am just stating what is on my mind. Sorry to have been so blunt, but that is how I am. I was merely trying to make the point that you hurt OUR feelings by continuing to drone on and on about the "alliance." The alliance could have guranteed us winning positions in the game which we gave up for the sake of every member in this tribe.

Once I saw how our secrets were tearing the group apart I thought that being honest would work better. That's not how it is turning out - darned if you do and darned if you don't. I am willing to call a truce (even though I'm not fighting with you). But I will bite my tongue and speak no more of the "alliance" issue if Meggie will do the same. I think that is fair and I hope Meggie can do that. I am sorry for all the trouble I have been stirring up. I have just felt the tribe falling apart over an issue that I thought was resolved. It has been frustrating. Sorry.

16:03
May 26, 2001

Meggie

"I have no problem calling a truce and I am very willing to just go on like I said before. I really do not want us to fight...I for one cannot take it so lets be together again." She goes and hugs Inita. "ok???".

17:09
May 26, 2001

Aggie

Aggie wals back to cap with 2 bananas and decidss to make the cookies fr tomrrow adding the bananas.

19:07
May 26, 2001

Inita

to Meggie - Great! I accept your hug and hug you back! :-)

Can I help make cookies, too?

21:02
May 26, 2001

Aggie

"Thanks,I'd love your help Inita!"

"When is tribal counsil?"

21:17
May 26, 2001

Inita

to Aggie - I think Tribal Council is tonight.

22:07
May 26, 2001

Trey

Trey walk back to camp, "I thought we were gonna go lobster hunting Meggie, I've been swimming and having a good time. But since I heard Meggie and Inita Discussing the Alliance AGAIN. I have 3 more things to say about it, then I promise I will keep my mouth shut. OK?"

"1. The alliance was a mistake from the beginning and was not very active until last Friday. Noone ever said anything bad or anything about voting you or Lolli off. We were going to vote Marissa off, but that was only because she asked to be voted off, but we talked her into staying. I am sorry, but I am responsible for Moon going home because I felt she did little to contribute to the team (on a regular basis) and she required a whole lot of TLC from everyone, she got upset with people a lot and I felt she was starting to tear the team apart. I take this responsibility fully. Personally ever since they made her eat rat at the challenge she hadn't been the same. 2. To Inita's defense, she was the one that brought up the idea of doing away with the alliance. It was as if everyone was thinking the same thing but didn't know how to bring it up. Everyone replied with something like, 'Yes, lets do away with it and see if we can get our team back'. Noone wanted any of this fiasco to happen, but it did and we do want our team back. I understand it is hard to trust us again, but we have to get past this. I think we all did great on the immunity challange and worked very well together. 3. I hate to bring this up, but it is tribal counsil tonight and Marissa asked to be sent home. I don't know if she really wants to go home or if she is just being nice again. Does anyone know? Meggie, you are closer to her than I am, what do you think?"

22:51
May 26, 2001

Pierre

Comes into camp and has the traps with him. Hey caught 3 lobsters and a bunch of crawfish. I will cook them up.

23:15
May 26, 2001

Meggie

"Trey I think you had a lapse of memory (LOL)..you did go lobstering with me and Lolli. Don't you remember? We caught a bunch of lobsters which we kept down by the beach to save in a net for tomorrow's dinner. And yes, Marissa has talked to me. She has told me that she does want definitely to go home because she misses her family so I think we should all vote for her. Just one last thing since Trey brought it up again, Inita, you said you thought the alliance could have guaranteed you winning positions in the game but I don't really understand how. I would think that alliances would want to be formed when members knew exactly what strong points each other had and by your own admission or Pierre's, the alliance was formed totally randomly. Just my two cents....There will only be 6 of us now and I hope all 6 of us can band together and make a strong team to defeat Ocono. I do not know if you are still planning to vote my name Inita but I can tell you now that I will not vote for you and I am making that choice public so everyone knows."

23:31
May 26, 2001

Pierre

Supper is ready!

23:40
May 26, 2001

Pierre

OK everyone has agreed not to bring it up so lets do that, and keep our word!

23:43
May 26, 2001

Meggie

"Great Pierre....I am so glad you caught some lobsters in your traps so we can keep the ones me Trey and Lolli caught for tomorrow."

23:44
May 26, 2001

Pierre

The traps work good! I think once they are in the water for 24 hours we should be able to get enough to feed everyone lobster, everyday we run the traps.

23:46
May 26, 2001

Trey

"Dud, Meggie, I don't know where my head has been today. :) I forgot all about catching those lobsters. Just one question? How are we gonna cooks tomorrows lobsters when we can't have a fire? Pierre, I will cook tonight, just relax. Who knows I may even remember catching them (giggling). I love everyone here and hate sending anyone home but if Marissa, is ready to go lets send her in style, and fix her a dinner to remember. Maybe we can even tell her all the things we would want to do if we were going home."

00:08
May 27, 2001

Trey

"That was supposed to be "Duh, Meggie", see I told you I was flaky today. DUH!'

00:11
May 27, 2001

Pierre

Trey i have already cooked! You are being funny tonight.

00:13
May 27, 2001

Trey

"Double Huh(maybe that should have been DUD - LOL), geez I guess I should just go to bed. Can you tell I'm really tired?"

00:16
May 27, 2001

Aggie

"I sent in my vote for Marissa since she wants to go home. Has anyone heard from Ms. Colleen?"

00:17
May 27, 2001

Pierre

Trey I know the feeling I am tired too.

00:17
May 27, 2001

Trey

"I just voted too Aggie. I voted for Marissa, only because she wants to go. I will miss her. We love you Marissa!"

00:25
May 27, 2001

Meggie

"Duh for me too Trey.....we need to cook those lobsters we caught today so that we can have them for tomorrow. Then we can store them in the water til tomorrow nite."

00:30
May 27, 2001

Pierre

gets his sleeping bag and goes to bed. They will just have to wake me up if we are going to havbe the council tonight I am tired and going to sleep. Good Night

01:22
May 27, 2001

From Colleen: just got home tonight, I am just waiting on Trey's answer to call for votes... but here goes folks1 if after Trey answers you want to change your vote, then so be it!

Everyone makes the trek to Tribal Council, it may be the heat, it may be the rain, or it may be the feelings after a troubled week in Nicarong Camp. Everyone takes their lit torches and settles in the circle around the fire. As on the real show, Gia asks pointed questions of a few players... Gia looks at Laura, "Lollie, alliance, no alliance, partial alliance...with all the truths and half-truths, ultimately how do you feel about your tribemates after last week's arguments with Moonbeam where she originally called out the alliance members and no one stood up?"

Lolli answers, "really confused and scared...that we are falling apart and that we can't trust each other anymore...I am mad at myself for NOT standing up and admitting to being a part of an alliance, when I should have...but, that is one of the mistakes that I have made....I love my tribe mates...and I hope that we can rebuild ourselves....because, when all is said and done...we are still a family! with family pains and pleasures!"

02:06
May 27, 2001

From Colleen: Gia turns to Inita, "With at least two members here asking to be sent home, what one thing will influence your vote the most?"

Inita replies "What is best for the survival of the tribe. We have to think in terms of the group and not individual wants. I think all of us want to go home for one reason or another. It will be a tough vote for sure... "

And finally Gia turns to Trey, "Strategy is everything on the island. Is revealing the alliance NOW before the merge part of the strategy?"

02:08
May 27, 2001

Gia says, "I don't have Trey's answer but will post it when I get it, or Tre can post it here. I have votes from some of you and will cofirm, and at noon central tomorrow votes will be official assuming I have heard from everyone. It's time to vote..."

Each player steps up to the drum and writes out the name of a Nicarong tribemate...

02:28
May 27, 2001

From colleen:Trey's question: And finally Gia turns to Trey, "Strategy is everything on the island. Is revealing the alliance NOW before the merge part of the strategy?"

Trey, " I would say yes, only because EVERYONE on the team has been so miserable since the alliance was discovered. I felt the only way we could be a team again is to confess about the alliance, disolve it, hope those not in it will forgive us, and everone become true to the Nicaronge team again. We cannot merge with Ocono as a team if we are fighting amongs ourselves. They will pick us apart one by one. I think they have become a small solid team and in order for us to survive we too must get our solid team back. I don't think this was a plan for the alliance to reveal ourselves from the beginning, we just realized an alliance would not work for our team, and tried to correct things as soon as we could. I just hope it is correctable. I don't think anyone planned on get as attached as we have to our teammates. We are family."

10:38
May 27, 2001

From Colle, Still waiting on a vote, sorry folkd! Colleen

13:49
May 27, 2001

From Colleen

I have all votes in, it is 2:45pm central time, in 30 minutes I will consider these votes final and will post the results, if you have a vote change, please sned it now...

15:49
May 27, 2001

From Colleen

short and sweet: Gia opens the drum and reads off the first vote, "Inita" The second vote reads "Inita" She pauses and examines each face in turn. Third vote "Marissa" Fourth vote "Marissa" Gia has two piles in front of her now, "That's 2 for each girl." Fifth vote "Marissa" Gia pauses, "If this next vote is for Marissa, she's going home." Sixth vote "Marissa...I'll read the last one just in case of future ties." It too reads Marissa.

Gia gestures to Marissa, "The Tribe has spoken, please bring me your torch... " Gia puts out Marissa's torch and she leaves the Tribal Council area. The walk back to camp is long and silent.

16:27
May 27, 2001

Pierre

Good bye Marissa. You will be missed! I hope everything works out at home!

16:47
May 27, 2001

Meggie

"Goodbye Marissa, we will miss you very much. Have a good trip home."

17:14
May 27, 2001

Trey

"Good-Bye Marissa, we will miss you. Have fun at home. Drink a Dr Pepper for me! (((( hugs))))"

17:32
May 27, 2001

From Colleen

if anyone can, let me know what you guys are eating today? NO seafood may be harvested so if live lobsters were kept in the water in a net, they cannot be taken out of the water on sunday (Class C misdemeanor according to Kosraean law)

20:01
May 27, 2001

Trey

We always cook cookies on Saturday to eat on Sunday. Thats a good and healthy treat we eat,usually with fruit.

20:15
May 27, 2001

Pierre

Is in the jungle looking for some fruit to eat. He will not eat Seafood cooked the previous day. He doen't want to get sick.

20:18
May 27, 2001

From colleen

people had posted yesterday they were saving some lobsters from yesterday in the water to eat today. They cannot be "harvested" from the water today, so I just wanted to remind folks of that. If there were cooked leftovers that folks ate, whoever ate them is sure getting a tummyache now!

20:43
May 27, 2001

Pierre
