IC1 Results
Sylvania gets off to a great start and within a few hours, Grant and Lisa are across the finish line.
A few hours after that and Kim and Malcolm have crossed the finish for Amargosa.

More hours pass and Sylvania's Rob, Kat and Troyzan cross the finish. Followed VERY closely by the bulk of the Panamint. Ozzy, Steph, Pete, Ashley and Chelsea all make it to the end.

Panting but yet still excited, Panamint cheer for Skupin, while Sylvania cheers for Denise. Grant and Lisa are screaming but the only survivor they see on the horizon is Cheisl. Where are Penner, Cha and Sophie?

Finally, and to end the race; both Denise and Skupin cross the finish line...

We have the winners!
Congrats, Panamint and Sylvania!
You 12 are safe from Tribal Council and free to go back to your camps. There is a giant Ice Sculpture of me at each of your camps for cooling down, enjoy.

Sadly, this means that the real me has a date with Amargosa at Tribal Council tonight.

1st Tribal Council

The Amargosa head to camp...(Insert Drama here)
and get a last confessional before heading to TC...
Malcolm: That sucked. We thought we had it in the bag. Emotionally we were totally unstoppable heading into the challenge. Then, BAM! or moreso *whimper*. *sigh* So TC for me tonight. I hate TC.
Kim: Malcolm and myself were the only one's to finish the IC. Cheisl was close. We need a strong tribe going forward so it looks like Penner, Cha or Sophie might be going home tonight.
Cheisl: I tried. It was brutal. The challenge was long, seemingly lasting DAYS. I kept trying but unfortunately we did not win. This is gonna be tough going forward too.
Penner: Wow! Malcolm is a super-hero! I knew when I started that I was gonna have to have the best story going into this thing. Therefore, hold your hats, folks....
Cha: I feel horrible but I tottaly did not do well in the 1st challenge. I know they're gonna come for me as I'm definitely the weakest member of the tribe. But I will try to find someone who hates Kim, if it kills me.
Sophie: I admit, I couldn't function during the challenge. We didn't keep ourselves hydrated and Amargosa's safety suffered because of it. It looks like Cha is going home tonight. Definitely weakest. But I have to admit, getting rid of Penner first would be more fun.

Welcome to Tribal Council, Amargosa.
Please grab a torch and light it in the fire. (Then put it in the holder located behind the seating area. Then go ahead and have your seat.)

So... Malcolm, How has the first few days been?

Malcolm: It's been pretty good. We all arrived safely, the camp is great, everyone got along and then... well... Water Canteens started going missing and well it's been downhill from there. So, going into the challenge not properly hydrated probably ruined our chances of winning the first immunity.

Are you saying that Amargosa has a sabatuer in it's midst? Or did your canteens just get lost?

Penner: I think I can answer that.

Okay.

Penner: See, I was heading out towards the camp's long-drop, looking around for anything even remotely soft enough to wipe with and noticed a shred of canvas sticking out of the sand. I investigate and discover that it's a square of linen with a map on it and wrapped around a canteen. The canteen is full of... *gag* ...poop.

Wow. That's gross. And disturbing. Why do you think someone would do that?

Kim: I have NO idea. I just squat, dump and bury with sand. No canteen needed.

Sophie: You don't go to the long-drop?

Kim: Nope. I walk about 5 feet from the tent and grunt.

Sophie: You're right, tribe, this is disturbing.

Cheisl: It dries out in like 5 minutes. No stink. What's the big deal? I've done it too.

Malcolm? Anything to pile on here?

Malcolm: Nope. I am effectively constipated.

Well, Cha? How do you fit into this whole scenario?

Cha: I am fitting in fine, I think. Well, at first I was nervous and I still believe there is a high possibility I will be the first to go. But I did make plans with others and I know whose name I'M writing down. And it ain't mine. *wink*

Well, as expected, this TC was slightly boring and plain and not well thought out. Or is that corny, nutty and apt to float?
Perhaps we can just wipe up, flush this and move on?
