You know it’s a party when bras are flying off and people are trash talking each other over immunity challenges. This is just what happened at Eric’s sweet 26th Birthday this past Saturday. Honestly, I showed up to have some food, relax, play some Wii, and some poker. Survivor was never on my mind because let’s face it folks, I’m not a cut-throat, backstabbing, wheeling-and-dealing kind of person. But how can you refuse when you’re asked so kindly by the people who organized it. Trust me, a lot of organization went into this themed-party as witnessed by a “bonfire,” tiki torches, bandannas, Survivor music, tribal councils, team and individual challenges, and the immunity idol. It took me a whole five minutes to get into the game and boy did I wanted to win, or at least make the individual challenges. I didn’t want to win the $100 for myself but rather win it for Eric because it only seemed like the right thing to do… well, minus my $6 buy-in that is. But alas, I was voted off Doman Island as our Team Sugoi was forced to vote off three members at the same time (mainly to speed up the elimination process as we were out in the cold for two hours at that point). In the end, the final two came down to Josh and Clare from Team Butternick Pattern and then the Tribal Council spoke… the final vote being split equally so Josh went home with 25 bucks (25 for his cousin Eric) and Clare walked away with 50 bucks.

Next year… Amazing Race across the Lower Mainland. I just can’t wait. Who wants to be my partner?!
