I Survive Another Day ... WooHoo!

I have no words.
Just me and my big eyeballs--and Phillip--trying to endure.


(c) CBS, Monty Brinton, 2012


Well, I made it through another Tribal Council on Survivor Caramoan.

Wooohoo!

It's not easy, I tell you. This is one BRUTAL game. Tough to play. And even tougher to watch at times.

I can't get over just how difficult this game is--it's harder than anything I've ever done in my whole life (and this season is definitely harder than my first season). The lack of food, water, and sleeping conditions would tank your strongest person.

But then add difficult personalities, rainy days, intense physical challenges ....

and a million dollars on the line.

Forget about it.

It's just downright HARD.

Now, I know a lot of you are struggling to understand why we keep certain players, align with some, and vote out others.

Believe me, I struggled with these decisions, too.

It's miserable out there.

But I had a really strong strong commitment to trying to win the million this time. So, I threw logic out the window and made a commitment to play the most strategic game I could. You won't see all of the thinking that went into my gameplay, but I promise you, I played the best that I could--for that million.

Oh, how I wish I could talk about it with you!

But, we will have to wait until the finale on May 12.
In the meantime, here are three great Secret Scenes that explain how we're coping on NewBikal:

When The Flu Comes To Town ...

Image
Even Harriet-the-dog threw up this weekend. What the what? Well, if there's anything positive about having the flu, it's having it over a weekend--so you can truly REST from your work/school/etc. Right? Uh, sure. Poor Bam, Dave, Zu and even Harriet-the-dog each caught a weird cold/flu-type thing that had them "down for the count" this weekend. It was awful. I was teasing Dave, but I'm not sure if it's worse to be the one with the flu--or the mom to the ones with the flu. Eeek! (We're talking a lot of laundry and disinfectant. If you're picking up what I'm layin' down.) Hopefully they will be on the mend here soon. And hopefully, the remaining non-flu family members have used enough Purell to keep us germ-free. Crossing my fingers. Hope your weekend was 'smarvelous. ***** PS: Booo. BYU lost this weekend. (Yay if you are a Ute fan--Liz B.) PPS: Not that it's a big deal in the Big Picture, but I did deactivate ...
