Leshawna Stalks and Tyler Slips up
Tyler was walking through the woods trying to find Chef, when he heard the sounds of someone eating nearby. {Tyler: This was my chance to bring a win home for my team in this game! I definitely wasn't gonna mess up this time! 7th time's the charm, right?} He peered over the bushes to find, not Chef, but the actual Bigfoot eating some beef jerky. {Tyler: Huh. I guess those commercials were right. He does love that stuff.}
"This is awesome!" He said a little too loudly. "Oops." Bigfoot turned around, saw Tyler, and roared loudly. Tyler screamed like a girl and took off, with Bigfoot not too far behind him.
Meanwhile, Leshawna was following closely behind Harold and Heather, who was still fawning all over him. {Leshawna: I know Heather's up to something. If I just follow her long enough I'll find out what.}
Heather was still holding Harold's arm. "So Harold, how do you get your hair to look so good?"
"Well, usually I start in the morning by applying some conditioner, and then I-"
"Your bifocals are really sexy." She interrupted.
"Thanks. Their custom made for my eye condition. It's extremely rare, you know."
{Heather: He just wouldn't take the hint. So, I decided to make the first move.} "Just kiss me you idiot!" She exclaimed.
{Harold: Wow. First Leshawna, then Beth, and now Heather! Am I a ladies man or what?} Harold was about to when Leshawna yelled from behind a tree "Don't do it, Harold!" She covered her mouth.
{Leshawna: I don't know, but I think that I spent this whole challenge stalking Harold. Do I still like him or something?} "Leshawna, were you following us?" Harold asked.
{Harold: Score! My first stalker!} Leshawna quickly ran off. Harold shrugged. He turned back to kiss Heather, but she was gone too. "Dang!"
Meanwhile, Tyler was still running from Bigfoot. He came up to a dead end. Bigfoot stood over him and roared. Tyler screamed again. "Please don't eat me!" He pleaded.
{Tyler: I thought I was finished, but then Bigfoot did something weird.} He burst into tears. Tyler was confused. "Me no eat people!" The beast wailed. "That a negative stereotype!"
"Um... Sorry, Mr. Bigfoot."
"And don't call me Bigfoot! That just humiliating nickname given in high school!" {Bigfoot: Feet not that big! Only size 18 ½!}
"Then what should I call you?"
"Call me Eddy." Bigfoot, er, Eddy replied, now calm. "What you name?"
"I'm Tyler."
"Me has cousin Tyler! He live in Florida. Smell really bad." {Tyler: So there I was, actually making friends with a mythological creature. Am I awesome or what?}
"Hey Eddy," Tyler said, "can I get your picture?"
"Sure," Eddy replied, "me has head shots back home." {Eddy: Me wanted to be an actor, but Hollywood just not ready for me. Oh well.}
After Tyler got the picture, and exchanged e-mail addresses with Eddy, he ran back to where the RV's were parked. He managed to run into Connor, who helped him round up everyone else, but they couldn't find Izzy, who was still trapped in the pond.
Sierra was having pretty good luck too. She was wandering through the forest, tracking down Chef, when she found something on the ground. She picked it up and sniffed it. "Hmmmm. Cheetos. Chef is near." She looked around the corner and saw Chef lounging against a tree eating a bag of cheetos. He was wearing the Bigfoot costume and laughing to himself. Sierra quickly snapped a picture and ran off. {Sierra: EEEEEEEEE! I'm so going to win!}
Tyler and the Patriots got to Chris first however. "NOOOO!" Sierra yelled. "I can't lose! Cody must be my husband!"
Chris was looking at Tyler's photo of Eddy. "Hmmmmmm. Impressive. This is the actual Bigfoot, isn't it?"
"Actually, his name is Eddy." Tyler corrected.
"Impressive Tyler, really impressive, but I specifically remember telling you to find a picture of Chef in a Bigfoot costume. No win for you." And with that Chris tore up the only definitive proof of Bigfoot's existence.
Sierra jumped at the chance. "Ooo! Ooo! I have a photo of Chef!" She showed Chris the picture.
"Congratulations Sierra! Your team wins!" Cody nearly puked. {Cody: What?! Sierra won?! I thought Izzy would be able to find Chef easily! Where was she?!}
To answer his question, Izzy walked up wearing her skirt, and a thick layer of mud covering her chest. "Don't. Say. A word." She said. Ted quickly snapped a picture, causing Gwen to take his camera and smash it over his head. {Ted: Good thing I always carry a spare for the spare.}
"Screaming Patriots, you will have to send someone home tonight. Killer Pioneers, you all have won the reward of a good night's sleep at the best hotel in Seattle." Sierra cheered and went of to find the rest of her team to tell them. Meanwhile the Patriots were glaring at two people: Tyler and Izzy. Gwen, however, was glaring at Ted.
