Chapter 1
Fourteen people, two tribes, one winner. The goal; to outsmart and outplay all of your opponents and to survive three months in the wilderness of the Afghan desert outside of Kabul.

After we were dropped off by the planes, we were informed that it was about a three hour hike to our base. We were given a compass and a map and reminded that the faster we get there, the more time we get to setup before nightfall. We arrive at about noon and decide that our first task was to search for water. We all split up and search different places. After two hours of searching we return and to our dismay the only person that found water was Mel and she said it was in some tin drums in a cave a couple of miles away. Well, Dusty, Rob, Joe and I set out to return with them. We only managed to bring back three barrels of water, which was about enough to last a couple of weeks. Our next task was to set up shelter. Somehow (no one is quit sure), Joe managed to fashion a large and luxurious house simply out of sand and some rope (his luxury item.) By now it was dark and we all settled down to bed. We awoke the next morning to Caroline shouting "Their gone! Their gone!" After some inquisition, we realized that Dusty and Rach had disappeared. We soon found them asleep on top of each other in the closet. We woke them and asked them what they were doing and they both tried to explain that they are chronic sleep walkers, although no one believed them. Since we were all so hungry this didn't really disturb anyone. We thought about how we could possibly get some food. Several suggested fishing, but there are no fish in the desert. Then Dusty chirped in with the bright idea "I'll use my corgi!" Receiving some puzzled looks, he promptly explained that he had brought a corgi which he had trained to hunt. He released the corgi, which promptly returned with some unidentifiable meat which was devoured without any questions asked. We soon set about the day's work which consisted of…… uh….. well, in Afghanistan there really isn't that much to do so we…… uh…… just sat around. Caroline and Rob took a hike into the mountains. Mel and I played tic-tac-toe in the sand. And Dusty and Rach disappeared back into the closet. That afternoon was the first immunity challenge. The teams had to vote one couple to go into a kissing contest. The couple that could kiss the longest would win their tribe immunity from the first tribal council. Our team chose Dusty and Rach because they had been practicing all day and the other team chose Sean but since he didn't have a girlfriend, he had to kiss himself. It was a long and grueling contest but in the end, after seven hours and fourteen minutes, Dusty and Rach won. Our team celebrated immunity and was given an added gift of blow up dolls for our amusement. We took our dolls home and played with them all night long. When the outcome of the opposing team's tribal council meeting had been announced, the first person voted out was Sean, because, as Clay said, "as much as he loves himself, he should have been able to win that!" This was the end of the second night. And then there were thirteen…….
