Daily Chat: Lil Survivors Week 9 Nicarong Tribe (pre-merge)

Trey wakes up, puts on his Sunday modest clothes, grabs a vitamin and banana, and heads to the beach to wait for the church singing to start. He will have to get use to a lot of new things when they merge in a few days.

From Colleen: It's 86 degrees todsay with on and off showers. The heat index is HIGH at 96 degrees, but the breeze cools you off even though it keeps changing directions. The sky is cloudy with puffy white clouds, for all the rain you get, the sky is almost alwast pretty... Even the rain and heat cannot get you down today. The island is as fresh and green as ever, the sounds of the passionate loving choirs fills the air and just echoes all over the island. You made it!!! You are in the final team, the last stretch. Congratulations Lil Survivors! Now the real game begins.

TREE-MAIL!!! Written on a large engraved invition is the folloing poem: The road was long, the battles tough, the enemies fought dearly, but enemies could be allies now, you cannot see so clearly, Each player for himself must fight, one against another, and so the foe from just last night must be your tribal brother

Inside the invitation it reads: You are cordially invited to visit challenge beach Monday for a new tribal summit. All merger details will be explained. LIMIT ONE PERSON ATTENDING.

Pierre

Gets up and takes his vitamin and eats some fruit. He just sits there waiting to see what the day brings.

13:00
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

I just wanted to say that my scedule is rather lax, and if you all want I could do the Summit if you all want me too. If not that is OK too.

13:08
Jun 10, 2001

Trey

Pierre, that is fine with me. As people get up we will see how they feel about it. I would rather not go. THanks

You wanna go to the playground, or hiking, or swimming, or just hang out here?

13:42
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

Yea Trey I would like to go play I haven't taken too many chances to go play at the playground.

14:04
Jun 10, 2001

Trey

Come on Pierre, I'll race ya there!

14:50
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

Ok Trey!One two three GO!!!!

15:13
Jun 10, 2001

Trey huffing and puffing

"TIE!!! We're good, we're good, we're really,really good" laghing as he falls to the ground with a roll.

15:40
Jun 10, 2001

Trey finally rested up

"OK Pierre, you want to see who can climb the highest on the vines or swing the farthest on the vines? Your call on this on, or name something else, I'm game"

15:42
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

OK One two Go! start climbing. Pierre pulls himself up the rope as hard as he can.

15:44
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

Hey Trey when were done with climbing to the top I think I am going to go take a nap! You are wearing me out. LOL

15:48
Jun 10, 2001

Trey laughing

"Ok, old man! I can get the hint. Tehe I'm gonna go want around in the jungle and tell your lizard buddies 'bye'. I've gotten use to theis place and I'm gonna miss it."

16:02
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

Yea me too Trey I like this spot. hey when we make the move do you want to help me make more traps? I know you said you did but just double checking.

16:15
Jun 10, 2001

Trey

"Sure, I'd love to, if I keep learning all this neat stuff you know, maybe I can get my family to move to Louisiana. That would be way cool! And since we look so much alike, we could even trade places for a day or to. Wouldn't that drive our parents crazy??? lol We just couldn't opened our mouths, if we said anything they would know in a second'

16:26
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

OH Trey you are right there We may look alike but man you have an accent! LOL

16:37
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

Hey everyone what do we want to learn or ask in the summit? I want to stay here if we can! Can anyone else think of anything?

16:39
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

I am not saying that I am the one going just think it is something we need to talk about. For who ever does go.

16:40
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

Also Meggie I want to apologize again I have been rethinking everything that happened last week and I was out of line and just to sensitive. You really didn't do anything that should have made me think that you were being mean to me. I just was getting over being sick and over reacted to things that I misunderstood. I am SORRY!!!!!! I won't let it happen again. If I think someone is treating me badly I will bring it up then and not wait and let things build up on me. Again I am sorry!

16:43
Jun 10, 2001

Meggie

"Hi Trey and Pierre. Oh Pierre I am so happy you said that again...you didn't have to but I am so glad you don't think I was being mean to you. I really didn't mean it and I will try real hard to make sure I don't say something that might hurt anyone's feelings by mistake. I don't like hurting anyone. It is fine with me that you go Pierre to the summit tomorrow and I agree...I would love to have everyone move here. Now that we have all moved in to our tent the Oconos can have the other one, like we said before. Do you guys agree? Are we all set on the method of voting the two of them out...is it to be what we discussed on Friday night? There is something so peaceful about waking up and listening to the beautiful voices and just looking out at the beautiful water and land. I really love it here."

17:43
Jun 10, 2001

Aggie

"Hi guys! I would also like to stay here. I am not too sure what is going to happen at the summit (Mommy is havng computer troubles). I caan go too, but if anyone wants to, by all means... Whoever goes can they find out if we can stay here and if not what to bring? I really am happy with our tribe the way it is, we have to do away with Mandy and Lola though. Do we get Mandy off first? I love it here with all of you!"

20:37
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

Petite Cher they will only allow one. We do need to figure out who we are sending. It is supposed to be in the morning.

You know I have been thinking Mandy was the only one that was nice to us. Remember she gave us doughnuts from her share. Lets keep her till the second week. Lets get rid of Lola first then Mandy. What do you all think of that. She was nice to us. Do you all remember what the doughnuts tasted like? I do and I have to thank her for that. Lets vote on that so that we are sure to be unified on how we are going to do it? OK.

21:51
Jun 10, 2001

Aggie

"Cher, I'm not a morning person, you can go? I vote to send Pierre. I also agree let's vote off Lola first. I don't trust the Oconos, I think they could be troble, the sooner they are gone the better!"

22:09
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

OK I will go in the morning. Trey Meggie Lolli do you agree Lola goes first because Mandy was nice to us that one time?

22:17
Jun 10, 2001

Trey

"I agree, Lola first, then Mandy. And we haven't heard from Lollie, have we? If Pierre can go and wants to, that is great with me. Aggie I don't mean that to be mean, but you said you are having problems. We all understand that."

22:17
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

Hi Trey I didn't see you standing there. You scared me.

22:18
Jun 10, 2001

Trey

"Yeah, I'm sneaky like that. BOOO!" ROFLOL

22:19
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

You want to give a kid a heartattack? Oh Elizabeth I am coming! LOL

22:22
Jun 10, 2001

aggie

"I am not a morning person anyway. Trey Iknow you weren't!"

22:27
Jun 10, 2001

Trey

"Yeah, Elizabeth, this is the big one!"

22:29
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

Petite Cher now your sneaking up on me. Man I have lost my touch when I get home all the gators are going to take a bite out of me. LOL

22:29
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

Your right Trey I love that show!

22:30
Jun 10, 2001

Trey

"Maybe I shouldn't say this, but I am glad we are going into the final 8(now 7) with the people we have on our team. We are the people who were around here on a daily basis. We work & play really well together. I know it is hard to be around all the time working but I really do try."

22:34
Jun 10, 2001

Pierre

I know what you mean Trey. I am tired and am going to go to sleep. Good night.

23:25
Jun 10, 2001

Lolli

hi guys (sort of small and sad sounding) I don't feel so good today..sorry I haven't been around...my head feels like it is going to explode and my tummy is just rolling...

00:15
Jun 11, 2001

Lolli

I agree with Pierre going to the Summit and voting Lola off first...

00:20
Jun 11, 2001

Lolli

I think I am going to go back to bed now...walks slowly to the shelter and shakes out her sleeping bag and crawls in, pulls Teddy in with her and pulls the bag up and over her head and moans...oh my head...

00:23
Jun 11, 2001

Trey

"Lolli, I'm so sorry to hear your sick. I hope you aren't getting the same thing as LYda Ruth. We don't want you to get so sick you have to leave too. I would make you some ginger tea but we can't start a fire for 45 more minutes. Can you eat a banana? My mom gives me those when I get sick. We were wondering where you were all day. We missed you. Do you think you can sleep? If so come on, lets go cuddle and we will keep you warm. Sleep by the front of the shelter though just in case you need out quick."

00:23
Jun 11, 2001

Trey heads to bed too. Giving Lolli, Meggie, & Aggie a kiss on their head. Pierre a pat on his head. "Sweet dreams everyone."

00:26
Jun 11, 2001

Lolli

thanks Trey...I would like to cuddle...but, I really think it is a good idea for me to sleep closest to the front...

00:44
Jun 11, 2001

Trey wakes us, puts some kindling in the firepit, and starts trying to get the fire started.

07:16
Jun 11, 2001

Meggie

"Morning everyone. Lolli I hope you are feeling better. I am going to start the fire and I can make you some of the tea Pierre always makes me which tastes so good. I agree everyone about Pierre going to the summit and about voting Lola off first and then Mandy." Meggie gets a piece of fruit and vitamin for herself. She starts to get the fire going which takes a little effort since it sprinkled so much.

07:18
Jun 11, 2001

Meggie

"Boy Trey I am glad I saw you start the fire. We would be making two fires again" (LOL)

07:19
Jun 11, 2001

Trey

Finally after a while, Trey is able to get a spark on the fire. He quickly and carefully blows the spark encouraging it to spread to the rest of the kindling. Yes, success, and adds a little more kindling, then runs and gets some larger logs from the woodpile. The fire looks good now.

Trey grabs the net, and goes out to the beach to catch beakfast.

07:23
Jun 11, 2001

Trey

"Mornin Meggie, now you scared me. I'm goin fishing since we only had fruit and cookies yesterday. I think Pierre will represent us well."

07:26
Jun 11, 2001

Meggie

"Hiya Trey. I was afraid I had turned invisible...(LOL). How about some company? I'd love to go fishing with you. Let me change into my bathing suit. Maybe I can catch some lobsters too."

07:33
Jun 11, 2001

Trey

"Sure, Meggie, come on. You are the diving queen. Can you teach me how you shoot straight down so fast, I use all my air just trying to get down there, then I have to come up for more. I hope Lolli is feeling better today. But she probably still shouldn't have any fish. We don't want to get her sick all over again. Oh, we still have cookies left from yesterday, that should be easy on her belly."

07:39
Jun 11, 2001

Trey

"no such luck on you turning invisible. You could have way to much fun with that. LOL"

07:41
Jun 11, 2001

Trey

"OK Meggie that should be enough for everyone. We caught 2 fish and 1 lobster. There are only 5 of us and Lolli may not be eating.

If you will take these up to the camp I am going to set up the traps for dinner tonight. Good Luck Pierre, I know you will represent us well."

08:30
Jun 11, 2001

Pierre

Gets up and gets a piece of fruit and takes his vitamin. Thank you all I will be glad to represent the best team in lil survivor. Lolli I hope you get to feeling better take all the time you need to get better. We have your back covered. Hey don't forget we have the traps set out there for supper. I will check on them after the Summit.

10:36
Jun 11, 2001

Meggie

" How're you doing Lolli? Feeling better I hope? Aggie how is your boo boo? Trey and I got some nice dinner. Trey I would love to teach you how to dive down. It is so much fun...you can show me how to be a good Tarzan. I love your Tarzan yell (LOL). I wonder what Pierre found out at the summit?"

14:41
Jun 11, 2001

Pierre

I am done with the Summit. It took over 3 and 1/2 hours. The challenge this week is dealing with the merger. Miss Colleen is going to post it so everyone can see what was done and said. Lola was thir rep. and we could have kept it secret but voted to show every one. Also I got us some food. Here is a can of Chili and a can of beef stew, Speggitioes,(sp) and a can of creme of mushroom soup. I thought we could put it in with some rice and lobster it would be great. Do we have any rice left? You all have these cans to eat and I have a can opener. I had sandwiches, and Potao salad. Sorry they wouldn't let me bring that back.

17:00
Jun 11, 2001

Meggie

"Thanks Pierre for bringing us back the food. I think that the mushroom soup and rice will go great with the fish and lobster Trey and I got today. I can start cooking. Anyone else want to help?"

17:10
Jun 11, 2001

Pierre

Meggie most of the time I would agree to help but my brains are fried after the challenge.

17:38
Jun 11, 2001

Lolli

I feel a little better today...thanks for worrying about me...my head is still hurting, but nowhere near what it was last night! I can pump some water to fill our containers...I think I have spent too much time in the sun though...I am like my mommy...she can't handle the heat either!

Grabs the empty water containers and takes them out to the water and fills them up and drags them back up to camp and finds a shaded place and starts pumping away!

17:39
Jun 11, 2001

Lolli

oooo...I want spaghettios!!! Those are my favorite at home!!!

Pierre, the summit sounds interesting! I am going to go lay down again! I am starting to get tired!

17:42
Jun 11, 2001

Pierre

I menat Summit not challenge sorry.

17:47
Jun 11, 2001

Meggie

"Don't worry you guys...I still feel energized from that nice swim. I will cook dinner. Lolli would you like some tea? How about you Pierre? I can put up the spagetti O's too for you Lolli and whoever else wants to share. You can have my portion."

18:39
Jun 11, 2001

Aggie

"Meggie I'll help cook!"

19:39
Jun 11, 2001

Trey

"Hi guys, I found us some more fruit. Meggie & Aggie, that smells really good, I'm hungry. I'll slice up this papaya to serve with dinner or for dessert.

I can't wait to hear what happened at the summit today. 3.5 hours, wow, thats a long time, they must have talked about a lot."

20:42
Jun 11, 2001

Aggie

"Me too, Trey. I'm really curious about where we are going to be after the merger."

21:27
Jun 11, 2001

Trey

"Is it soup(dinner) yet??? I'm starvin.

Pierre, did they just give you the food or did you have to win it? No matter, this is great, thanks for bringing it back. I know it was heavy. Do you all think we should save the stew and chili till we see if we have to move to a new camp and what kind of provisions we have? "

22:35
Jun 11, 2001

Trey

"Meggie & Aggie, that was really good, I'll clean up the dishes. Thanks for cooking. As soon as I'm done, I'm off to bed. Sweet dreams everyone."

23:22
Jun 11, 2001

Pierre

Hi everyone. supper was great.

23:30
Jun 11, 2001

Pierre

Hi everyone. supper was great.

23:30
Jun 11, 2001

Pierre

I got some waterproof matches today.

23:31
Jun 11, 2001

Lolli

Thanks for the sgettios Meggie! I love them! and they didn't even make my tummy hurt...I think we should have the chili for lunch tomorrow...just a thought, but, won't we get a whole new supply of stuff? I'm going to bed now! The weather isn't looking so good! and I REALLY hate thunder and lightning!!

23:33
Jun 11, 2001

Pierre

Hi Lolli!

23:34
Jun 11, 2001

Pierre

We don't have many of the matches but we have some.

23:36
Jun 11, 2001

Pierre

We will get more supplies once the merger takes place.

23:37
Jun 11, 2001

Pierre

Well I am off to bed goodnight.

23:38
Jun 11, 2001

one quick clarification, from colleen, pierre wasn't given matches today, gia said that she didn't see a problem with giving out a few but meant that would be with the new supplies after the merger. no matches yet, sorry! :)

00:07
Jun 12, 2001

Pierre

Hi sorry I disappeared. I just had a major head ache, after the summit. Trey I had to answer 4 questions from Lola to get the food. If I didn't answer them correctly I would have had to kiss her foot or something. It was truth or dare. Lolli I said that you didn't cook that well. I said it because you said it the other day. Meggie I said that your weakness was not being around in the evenings to cook and today you did it. LOL those were the only negative things that I said. But I also said that it is hard to make food taste good when you have such a limited amount of spice. I also said that Meggie got up real early and always did breakfast. It was kind of hard trying to think of things that each of us do bad. It was easy to say what you all do good. Colleen said she would post the summit sometime. I did request that we stay here. and I did ask for some things to make life a little easier. We may get some Waterproof matches, for those days that we just can't get the fire lit. Sorry I was confused earlier.

00:08
Jun 12, 2001

Trey wakes up when Pierre starts talking.

"Pierre, I thought you went to sleep right after me? Yes Meggie cooks breakfast but so do I. We kind of make it a game, who can get up and get breakfast cooked the fastest. Sorry, I just had to set the record straight. In fact some mornings we even have 2 fires and 2 breakfasts going, but were getting better at this. :) I'm not able to get back from camp to cook very much either, and for that I am very sorry, but by the time I get back from gathering fruit, it is usually all done. Forgie me, I'm sorry I can't be around more. Ok, I'm going back to sleep now, Sweet dreams."

01:53
Jun 12, 2001

Meggie

Mornin'...Trey I'm glad you set the record straight on breakfast. I would say we trade pretty evenly don't you? We both seem to be able to get up early. Alright, I am starting the fire. Wish I had waterproof matches now.....I will get out some oatmeal for all of us..haven't had that in a while and cut up some fruit too."

07:19
Jun 12, 2001

Trey

"Good Mornin Meggie, I've been over at the Tribal summit. I've only maid it halfway thru and got really hungry. Pierre did a wonderful job of representing us. Thank you again Pierre.

Ahhh, for breakfast, I'm not sure if there is any oatmeal left or not. But if not there should be cookies stored in there. We decided Sat night to make cokkies for Sunday, and thought that it would probably use up the rest of the oatmeal."

07:37
Jun 12, 2001

Trey

"Pierre, I'm sorry I posted that last night, I would take it back if I could. Something crawled on me and woke me up. THen I hear you saying that Meggie cooks breakfast every morning and I got a bit defensive. Well I am not good about getting woke up in the middle of the night. And for some strange reason, it hit me the wrong way. But I am fine with what you said after a good nights sleep.

I'm am halfway thru tribal council and I think you did a great job. I'm going back for more, right after breakfast."

07:48
Jun 12, 2001

Trey picks up the oatmeal barrel and pulls off the lid. "Sorry Meggie, nothing here but cookies, but we have a lot. Here, take 2 cookies, a vitamin, and a piece of fruit. We thought we were going to merge earlier, so we thought cookies would be easier to carry and we could use the containers to carry other stuff to the new camp if we have to move.

I finished reading all about the tribal council. It was really interesting. I forgot they don't have sleeping bags. I don't mind folding mine out to one level for a couple of us to sleep on. I wonder if either of the Ocono tribe brought a blanket as their luxury item."

08:17
Jun 12, 2001

Pierre

Trey that is why I did it real late at night because I thought that would be when Miss Colleen would get that posted. LOL I knew when people read it out of context it might ruffle some feathers. I really think the world of everyone here. They asked really tough questions over there and you had to answer them all and totally honest. It was a lot harder than I thought it would be. Actually Lola was a nice girl. They still have to go as wsoon as we can get them off. One of us have to win the imunity challenges. They are the best that was on Ocono to make it as far as they did. Do you all understand why I had a headache at the end of it. LOL

If I made anyone mad at what I said or did I am sorry. I did the best I could.

10:54
Jun 12, 2001

From Colleen: Good morning Kosrae! well, it must eb a good morning SOMEWHERE, but not here, not today. the temperature is fine, only 84 degrees but the sky is grey and overcast and a light rain combined with a medium strong wind from the east makes for a very unfun unfriendly rainy day!

I will send treemail shortly about tomorrow's reward challenge. The summit photos and transcript have been posted. check the Main Page for the game at yahoo to see them.

11:48
Jun 12, 2001

from Colleen

the first few people to try the cokkies take a bite and reconsider. the oatmeal cooked with fruit and unprocessed oil on saturday would be getting pretty rank by now. sorry! your oatmeal and rice are all gone, but you only have to last 1 more day before new supplies...

12:03
Jun 12, 2001

Pierre

Smells the cookie that he picked up to eat and say's "That will make good stink bait" He takes the cookies down to the traps. He checks the traps there are only a few lobsters in it. So he drops the cookies in there with them and places the trap back in the water.

13:08
Jun 12, 2001

Aggie

"I just finished with seeing the summit. Cher, thank you so much for all you said about me! The summit looked tough, but you did a wonderful job with it!" Gives Pierre a big hug.

"I am gong to get some bananas for tomorrow and the rest of today."

14:11
Jun 12, 2001

Meggie

"Hi guys....Pierre you did a great job at the summit. Too bad about those cookies. Oh well...we do have fruit to help us last and we can catch some more fish. I think I will go get some breadfruit and maybe we can make some of those neat fries with them. Anyone else want to come along?"

15:10
Jun 12, 2001

Meggie

I just finished the summit info and I wanted to tell you again Pierre that you really represented us well. You did a very good job and you should be as proud of yourself as we are of you."

15:17
Jun 12, 2001

Pierre

Thank you all, Petite Cher Thank you for the hug. Do you all see why I got an Ice Cream headache? Again if I hurt any ones feelings I am sorry. I hope we get that stove that would be so nice to cook on and more pots and pans. I hope we get that stuff.

15:45
Jun 12, 2001

Pierre

I am off to check the traps.

17:35
Jun 12, 2001

Meggie

Meggie goes down to the beach to help Pierre check the traps and bring up stuff for dinner.

17:59
Jun 12, 2001

Pierre

Hey I checked dem der traps and man you wouldn't belief what all was in der. Man those traps had 5 lobsters and 2 crabs and 3 fish. I turned the fishhes loose. But we are going to eat tonight but good.

His accent is just a little heavier than usual, because the cookies made great bait.

18:02
Jun 12, 2001

Aggie walks back to camp with a bag full of fruit.

"Look, I found a few papyas zand think I'll give them to Lolli to help her feel better. Here are a bunch of bananas too." I am going to wash something for the photo shoot, anyone need anything cleaned?"

18:34
Jun 12, 2001

Trey

"Hi everybody, did I make it back in time to cook dinner tonight? Looks like we have a lot to eat.

Pierre, have you forgiven me yet??? Also thanks for not taking the easy way out with the dare. The canned food treat is KOOL!"

19:53
Jun 12, 2001

Meggie

"Aggie can you wash my dress too? That is awfully nice of you. I can make dinner. All those wonderful things look great Pierre. I also got some breadfruit. Pierre was it you who made the delicious fries last time or was it you Trey? I will start to cut up the breadfruit into sticks so that we can make the fries and we can have them with the crabs and lobsters."

19:53
Jun 12, 2001

Meggie

Trey I would love your help with the fries and the rest of the cooking. Thanks.

19:54
Jun 12, 2001

Aggie

"No problem, MEggie!"

20:14
Jun 12, 2001

Pierre

Trey there is nothing to forgive. I did not tell you all the whole story, so you reacted to that. That is fine. It was Trey did those fries here while back. They were good.

20:38
Jun 12, 2001

Trey

"Great Meggie, lets show them how good the early breakfast group cook. LOL I've got the water on the fire and seasoned. Just needs to get a little hotter. I'll drop one of those breadfruit fries in there to test it out." sizzzzzllllleee

20:49
Jun 12, 2001

Trey

"Ok, looks like the fire is hot enough. Lets put the crabs in first, if I remember right, the crabs cook longer than the lobsters." kerplunk, kerplunk (that's crabs falling in the water if you couldn't tell) :)

21:03
Jun 12, 2001

Trey runs back to the shelter, grabs his Sunday modest clothes, and runs to Aggie

"Aggie, if you don't mind, would you please wash this for me for my pictures. My mom made it for me and she would be tickled pink to see a picture of me wearing it. Thank you very much Aggie, your a sweetie."

Trey runs back to camp to check on those crabs.

21:08

Trey removes the crabs from the water, very carefully. Then he waits for the water to start boiling again before putting in 2 of the 5 lobsters.

'If I had thought about it, I should have put 1 of those lobster in with the crabs. DUH!"

Aggie

Aggie comes back to camp and hangs up her clothes, Meggie's dress, and Trey's clothes.

"No problem Try! I'm glad to help! :) Dinner smells great!"

Jun 12, 2001

Trey

"Who is ready to eat? we have 2 lobsters just about done. Aggie? Pierre? are you ready? Meggie and I will eat the last batch. Is Lolli feeling good enough to eat seafood? I hope so, I hate seeing her sick. I will make some more ginger tea for her as soon as I get these pots cleaned out."

"Oh Pierre, I know what we should have asked for 'SOAP'! The Ocono tribe is gonna think we are rank smelling. LOL"

Pierre

OH man I have been funky so long I forgot what it was like to be clean thanks for cooking. It looks great.

22:00
Jun 12, 2001

Trey

"OK Meggie and Lollie it is time for us to eat. Lolli if you are not up to seafood yet, here is some cut up papaya and bananas that should be good for you. I haven't forgotten your tea either."

"Everybody, dig in. Thanks Meggie for helping, these fries you made are great."

22:13
Jun 12, 2001

Trey

"Lolli, Your tea is ready."

22:22
Jun 12, 2001

Trey finishes up the dishes and puts them back in the wooden box.

"Meggie, I forgot to answer you about the Tarzan yell. Sure, maybe we can do that tomorrow. There is so much stress on challenge day, & I like doing the Tarzan cause it is a controlled scream. LOL"

22:31
Jun 12, 2001

Trey stretches and yawns, "Ithink it is beddy-bye time for me. Good night and sweet dreams everyone."

Lolli

tears streaming down her face...oh, you guys are soooo great to me! I don't deserve this special treatment! you should all be mad at me for not helping! NOT taking care of me! I'm sorry that I haven't been feeling well lately...I am feeling better! Still got a little headache...but, the tummy ache is almost all gone! I think I am going to stick to the fruit and have a tiny little bit of the lobster though! I really do love it!!

Pierre, I think you did a wonderful job at the summit and you only told the truth! :) in my opinion, the truth is always better!

22:54

Lolli

I think I am going to go and wash clothes, so that I am ready if we have to move tomorrow...after that, I think I am going to start packing all of our gear up...try to make equal weighted packs for each of us...wonder...should we make bedrolls out of our personal belongings?? hmmmm...anyway...I am going to start packing stuff up, after I wash my clothes and hang them up to dry!

runs to the shelter and grabs all of her clothes and carries them down to the water...plops her butt down in the sand and dumps all of her stuff into the water...and starts scrubbing away

22:58
Jun 12, 2001

Lolli

after she gets done scrubbing her clothes, she heads back to camp and hangs her clothes out to dry and heads for the fire pit to start packing...don't know why I am doing this!!! LOL! It really doesn't need to be done! the others do such a GREAT job of keeping things organized and put away...but...we do have to make it so that we can all carry things if we move...

23:01
Jun 12, 2001

Lolli

singing quietly to herself, she starts sorting stuff...hmmmm, the water containers are better if we carry them empty...ummmm, the wooden crate is easier to carry if it only has lighter weight stuff...maybe the tarp from the other shelter...looks at the tarp...we might or might not be staying here...maybe I should wait to take it down until after we know where we are going...but, the net can go in the box...it's light...and the compass, shovel, knife, map, empty water jugs, and the vitamins, ibuprofen, sunscreen, betadine and emergency flare can all go in the box...oh yeah! LOL! They're already there! ummm...we still have some water in the big water tank...we should save that until right before we have to move...and we should fill up the canteen and water jugs before we go tomorrow...oh man! how heavy is the box getting to be...she tries to lift up one end of it....ooooooffffff!

23:09
Jun 12, 2001

Lolli

looks at what is in the box...okay...maybe I am a wimp! It doesn't seem that heavy though...if we take turns carrying it...one person on each side...if we each make our sleeping bags into rolls on the bottom of our backpacks...we could even put the empty oatmeal containers into the box...they don't weigh much when they are empty...someone is going to have to carry the water filter thingie though...I think it might be too heavy to put in the box...we aren't going to be able to take the shelter with us though...:) that just wouldn't work! we can make a new one though! that shouldn't be hard!

yawns really BIG!! okay...I think I might have overdone it! puts the lid on the box...lays the water jugs next to the box (all the water that was in them is still in them...don't want to dump them out until the last minute if we don't have to!!!) and rubs her eyes and heads to the shelter....shakes out her sleeping bag and looks around at the others....she whispers really quietly..."sweet dreams, I love you guys"

23:17
Jun 12, 2001

Lolli

sits up in her sleeping bag and things to herself...there are still 5 of us! we may be able to take at least ONE of the traps with us...if we do the same as with the box...each take turns carrying one side...that will give us one person to rest at a time...maybe if we took one of the smaller ones?? hmmmm....wonder what the others think...eyes are getting really heavy...so she lays back down and drifts off to sleep...

23:20
Jun 12, 2001

Pierre

Hey if we don't get to stay here and if we can't take the traps no big deal. We can make some more.

Hey did you all ever see that movie WaterBoy? His house is kinda like mine. Mine has more paint though! LOL but that is like back home. i liked Bobby Bucher in that film. I wish I could be a waterboy. (snickers) You all know I am kidding don't you? LOL His house tand the land around his house is like mine but not about me wanting to be like him.

Pierre

23:51

Aggie comes back from washing dishes and pulls her sleeping bag over near Lolli so they can cuddle.

Trey gets up put some more wood an the fire and goes down to check the traps.

06:58
Jun 13, 2001

When Trey checks the traps, he finds to fish in there. "HUMMM? wonder if these are the same ones Pierre kicked out last night. They really like thoses rank cookies. I think they will make a great breakfast." He carefully takes them out of the net and starts preparing them for breakfast.

07:18
Jun 13, 2001

Meggie

Meggie gets up and sees that Trey has put more wood on the fire. She starts cutting up some fruit for the group to have and gets a vitamin for herself and for Trey. She goes down to the beach to see if he needs help.

07:20
Jun 13, 2001

Trey, "Pssst, Meggie, Pssst, I'm back at camp. Te-he. It's amazing, for such a small place we can never find each other. I guess it is just too early.

The fish is almost finished. Fish and fruit, now thats a good breakfast. Oh, here is a vitamin for you and me."

07:46
Jun 13, 2001

Trey

"oops, Thanks for the vitamin."

07:46
Jun 13, 2001

Trey covers the rest of the fish, hoping someone wil get up soon to finish it off. Otherwise it is into the traps as bait.

"Meggie, I'm goin for a walk this morning before the challenge starts. Wanna go with me? If not, I will see you later." He goes over and hugs her. "i'm so glad we made it this far together."

08:02
Jun 13, 2001

Pierre

"ood morning!!!" Gets up and is in a very good mood this morning. "Man they fixed Breakfst for me thanks!" HE eats breakfast and looks around camp. "I hope we get to stay here, this has become home for me."

From Colleen:

You arrive at Challenge Beach and Gia and Bri are waiting there. set up around the clearing are several obstacle course type items. You see 3 long logs tied to a framework about a 2 feet off the ground, a triangular A-frame is made from branches and has a net up one side, ropes dangling down the other, and finally, the ropes are back on each side of the sipyen falls. Gia says that each portion of the race is worth 2 points, and who ever finishes all of them first gets another 5 points...

The order of the obstacles is this... #1)balance on the long logs and walk from one end to the other (if you fall off you must start again) #2)climb up the net side of the A-frame, and repel with the ropes down the other side (or just jump, repelling is not mandatory)... #3)climb up the sipyen falls with the ropes #4)climb down the sipyen falls #5)wiggle UNDER the 3 logs and race back to Gia

14:13
Jun 13, 2001

As each kid races to the 3 long logs the players try not to elbow or jostle each other.. Pierre hits the logs first, scrambling up and balancing as if he were walking on the logs in the bayou swamp. Lola and Trey are right behind him, very carefully balancing and tiptoeing across the wood.

Just a little behind them are Aggie, Lollie and Bri, now at the halfway point as Pierre and Lola are nearing the end... Trey tuimbles off harmelssly, but muttering at himself as he must run to the start of the logs and begin again. Pierre jumps off the logs' end first! winning himself the first pair of points.... Lola and Aggie still close behind him...

As Pierre scrambles up the net to climb the A-frame he seems to have some trouble, and Lollie and Trey catch up quickly! The A-frame is taller than the kids by several feet and the smaller kids have some trouble getting started as Trey scrambles over the top of it first, but Lollie swings herself over and takes the leap of faith, jumping to the ground and earning herself the 2 points for that part! It's still a very close race.

14:15
Jun 13, 2001

As the kids approach the dangling ropes by the falls, Trey and Meggie pull a little ahead from the others. Lollie loses some of her strong lead by slipping in the water's edge and falling on her rear. She jumps right back up though, but Trey and Meggie are already halfway up the rope with the other kids mostly at the bottom. By the time Meggie manages to pull herself over the top rock, Trey is only 3 breaths behind, but she gets the 2 points for this part of the race.

As the other kids scarmble up that side of the rope and then splash through the 3 feet of rushing water, they are all almost even again... Each little pair of hands grabs a rope and starts to climb down, some repelling, others just scrambling and hanging onto the rope for dear life. The falls are not that high, but it is a little scary to the kids. Trey shows no fear though, expertly repelling and kicking off to spin down 3 feet at a time, touching the ground while most of the kids are only halfway down. 2 points for Trey!

As Trey starts to wiggle under the logs his height works against him, letting Aggie and Lollie slide right past him in a frantic urge to win.... Each girl wiggles and pulls herself under the logs, scrambling as low as possible and still making progress. As the rest of the kids start wiggling under too Aggie slides out from under the last log and begins the final race to Gia with Lollie only a step behind her. 2 points for Aggie!

14:16
Jun 13, 2001

With 5 different players each winning 2 points, this race is going to be close! Each kid gasping breath and pumping their legs and arms trying to be the first to reach Gia...In the last section of straight running Bri and Mandy each run amazingly fast, coing up from the rear, but can't make up for all their lost time. Gia stands and smiles as Aggie, Lollie and Pierre are dead even with each other... In the very last second Lollie finds a second wind and breaks forward just far enough ahead to reach Gia before the other 2! Lollie wins 5 more points and wins the challenge!

As Gia hugs Lollie the others kids come up, panting for breath but congratulating Lollie for a job well done. As Gia lets them all calm down, some of the kids dipping their heads into the waterfall to cool off, Gia explains how the merger will happen today... "All of you will now return to Ocono Camp. Your new supplies will be given to you tomorrow as will anything from Nicarong you might want, but for tonight you will have to make do with what the island and what Ocono offers. Welcome to Kansi Tribe!"

She then gestures to Briene, "And a special welcome to Briene who is our new replacement player since Lyda unfortunately left the island. She will be competing on the same level as the rest of you and after today will have the same fair chance as all of you have to win both rewards and immunity, and ultimately, the grand prize. Now you can go to Ocono Camp, now Kansi camp, and I will bring Lollie her dinner tonight. Lollie, let me know when you get a chance at what time you would like to eat (central).

14:18
Jun 13, 2001

As the kids let all of this sink in, they sort of hear Gia in the background explaining that Kansi is the Kosraean word for "chief" and since ultimately there can be only one chief, it is an appropriate name for their new tribe. She also explains that as each player from Kansi is voted off they will remain on the island to watch events during tribal councils and when only 2 players remain, the jury of banished members will cast their votes for who should win and who will be the only remaining Lil Survivor.

Mandy and Lola will have to show you the way to Ocono from Challenge Beach. (the NEW chat page for everyone is listed below, please do not return to chat to your old pages)
