Mwahahaha... Colton's kind of evil is nearing the levels of nepharity of myself. Don't get me wrong, I loathe him.
But I do gain some insight into your feelings about me.
Specially after this week.

On the show, Blurs are nowhere (and yet everywhere), The greek gods make their presence felt and Tarzan lacks for everything except minority votes.
Now at the lodge...
abs has gone missing, kingfish cleans up his act and a couple of ladies soak their own corks.

HutCam Results:
A. Loser Manna: N/A (5)
B. Non-Sprinter: Chelsea ~ Christina ~ Jay ~ Jonas ~ Kat ~ Kim ~ Leif ~ Monica ~ Sabrina ~ Tarzan ~ Troyzan (5)
C. No Respite: Alicia ~ Christina ~ Colton ~ Jonas ~ Leif ~ Monica ~ Tarzan (5)
D. No Safety: Chelsea ~ Jay ~ Kat ~ Kim ~ Michael ~ Sabrina ~ Troyzan (5)
E. Disposable Vote: Jonas (5)
F. Damaged Goods: Tarzan (5)

This week D'Abby, Vix and suzzer take top HutCam honors. Better than most but still not great.

G● bonus:
Thanks you for allowing me the ability to do this first round rather blindly.
It was the only way to get a completely unbiased start for this challenge.
Even though as it turns out some numbers ARE better than others. Who knew?

This week: 2 points for each cork soaked in your cup, was given out.
Also, the slotbox values have started to accrue...
Cup#: Loser ~ Corks in your Cup: 2 points per cork ($ Individual SlotBox Values Total)

Yes, bystreaker, the inspiration was italian. But I managed a way to integrate both my Irish background AND a slotbox challenge.
No, jbugs, the cups MUST be teal. The color of the Lodge. Red is for necks, silly bug.
Also...wow!
Out of all 14 losers who participated, only 2 of you ended up soaking your own cork.
Congrats, FlexierPower and Pliantcats! You both managed to pick your own cup to drop your cork in, giving the tokens to yourself.

Overall...

G● alone gives both 5cats and FloPo the top weekly score.
And added to her total score, it's FloPo who ends up in the TopSpot. Again!
On the opposite end, abs goes missing but still manages to soak 10 points in corks.
Lowest scorer of the week, abs!
However, lowest overall score goes to qwerty. Cementing her place on the bottom.
Well, maybe not cementing... more like rubber gluing.

8.5 weeks to go...

Okay...
I have to lay down on this little couch here for a moment, relax and vent.
Perhaps it's because the room is spinning.
But not from the green soaking liquid.
It's because I have come to the realization that I truly am losing it.
Somehow getting it into my head that StPatrick's Day falls on the 14th, hence the Irish box and the semi-blindfolded BeerPong, coinciding with the episode.
But here I am writing this and lo and behold, St. Pat's is still a few days away. (Actually, today!? Happy StPats!)
Now, opening this up to you, I have inadvertently exposed myself. Flashed my insecurity in your faces, so to speak.
And here I go again, not even warning you.

Well, regardless of the indiscriminate display of my tenders...
It's probably best if I just carry on as if nothing has happened, as if it was indeed all to the plan and the real calendar is just wrong. Or perhaps I could just state that the intent was to always be AHEAD of the curve.
I do anticipate things, so it's totally believable that I'd have the thought of tying in the condensed schedule with a fast-forwarded type feel.
And now, I stand at a crossroads.
Do I cross the road?
Do I continue down the right road?
Or do I slight-of-hand my way into and out of an un-forethought roadside detour?

Well, you'll never know.

And since I've now spent sufficient amount of word space dedicated to something sooo far off topic, I shall just jump right into the new entry.
Mwahahaha...Is it all greek to you, yet?

Down the path in the SE corner of the island, just below laplaya, is Hut-Cam.
Please take a moment to give an account of your stay AND answer the following set of questions...
HutCam Entry
A. Loser Manna: Name 1 survivor whose naughty-bits will be Blurred. (5)
B. Non-Sprinter: Name 1 survivor who will NOT be featured as Sprint's "Player of the Week". (5)
C. No Respite: Name 1 survivor who Loses the Reward Challenge. (5)
D. No Safety: Name 1 survivor who Loses the Immunity Challenge. (5)
E. Disposable Vote: Name 1 survivor who is 1st to vote at Tribal Council. (5)
F. Damaged Goods: Name 1 survivor who Receives the Minority of Votes at TC. (5)

G● Bonus
Up the path on the western edge, past HutCam and through a tight fitting crevice lies Backseat Bay.
As stated last time, buried in the sands of backseat bay beach, are 4 ancient buried treasures.
Let's move on to the 2nd one.

It looks Greek to me. Or is that Roman?

Editor's note: Okay, the SlotBox/Token challenge has officially begun.
As a product of the corksoaking, you all now have a "savings" accrued.
The ultimate goal in this SlotBox/Token Challenge is to acheive the closest to $3.00, without going over.
And it looks like a couple of you are halfway there already. With three more boxes, I'd put the breaks on, if I could.
Also, it should be noted that because of a couple of unpredictables, there is a "Pot" worth $0.90 that I am reserving the right to integrate as need be for the future. Like a sort of petty cash.
Anyways...

Time for the Great Tokening!
In honor of fellow Blowhemian, michel's, soon to debut Survivor replay taking place in Greece...
Looks like we should celebrate by donning the togas, sopping up some vino and slipping your fellow losers a token on the downlow.

First off, 5 points to each loser who posts a pic of themselves in their greek/roman best!

No better way to raise the level of phun than to do so through dressing up.

Next, each of you has in your possession; 8 Greek/Roman tokens (of varying values) and a Wide-Mouthed Herakles Bank.

I can only show the heads of these tokens because the tails are more like NC17.
However, I can make you freely place your heads in fellow losers mouths. No soaking required.
In other words, PLEASE VIA Private Tokening Booth place your 8 different tokens into 8 different loser's Herakles Banks.
You may NOT place a token in your own Herakles Bank.
You may NOT give more than 1 token to any loser. 8 Tokens/8 Losers.
G● Bonus points will be handed out in the form of 2 points for every token deposited into your bank.
Token values will continually accrue until a loser reaches $3.01.
At this point that loser will be sidelined for the remainder of this slotbox challenge and all future token values donated to that loser will transfer to the Pot.

For your reference...
Here is a list of the current losers ~ and their current SlotBox/Token Totals:
FloPo ~ $1.65
5cats ~ $1.35
D'Abby ~ $0.95
abs ~ $0.65
bydude ~ $0.55
CT ~ $0.70
Georj ~ $0.70
jbug ~ $0.80

Wall66 ~ $0.35
Dakota ~ $0.35
Gupster ~ $0.50

Remember! Please make all token donations VIA Private Tokening Booth.
