WARNING: Most of this chapter is about bras. It is also a free day. However, do not skip this chapter! It is very important. More important than dinner but not quite as important as breakfast.

Fun Fact: I was planning on posting this earlier, but just as I was about to upload the document, my WiFi went down. Oh well, at least it works now.

Day Nineteen (19)

I could barely get any sleep at all. It was such a contrast from yesterday when I slept so peacefully.

I kept tossing and turning in my bed. My pillow felt so lumpy. I kept punching it but something just felt different about it.

I picked it up to readjust it and saw a flash of green.

WTH?

Under my bed the whole time was Izzy's bra!

It was the middle of the night and I was too tired to do anything, so I tossed it aside and drifted off to sleep.

-X-

"Pffft dude? Are you serious?" I heard Cody's voice.

I opened my eyes to see Cody. He was pointing at the bra on my shirt.

…Crap.

"Is that… Izzy's?" He asked.

I sighed. "Yes."

"So your girlfriend gave you a going away present?"

"Yep, totally."

"Gwen gave me her bra too."

"Really?"

"Well, she didn't hand it over to me, but she left it on my bed last night."

I stood still for a moment, not knowing how to react. Cody broke the silence.

"I guess we're like… Bra Bros! Isn't that so cool?"

"Maybe?" Really didn't know what to say.

I continued. "Guess you won the bet with Duncan."

"Oh shucks, the bet." He frowned as if he had just remembered it.

"I asked Gwen with the bet in mind, but now I don't think I can give it to Duncan. I mean, it's like her show of thanks for hooking her up with Trent. I can't sell it."

"Plus the reason that you're a big pervert."

"No." He shot back. "Okay, yes. It's a frickin bra, Noah. Do you know how much times I've tried to get a girl's bra?"

"I don't want to know."

"Why'd Izzy give you her bra, though?"

"Don't know. Maybe she left it here because she forgot. Could be an accident or something."

"…Riiiight."

"Okay, it was for you alright? I wasn't sure if you could get a bra so I asked Izzy if she could give me hers."

"You didn't mention my name, did you?

"No. But I did have to row all the way to Boney Island by myself."

"Then you can give that bra to Duncan and get money for it."

"Nope. I'm keeping it."

"Is it cause-"

I kicked him in the shin.

"Alright, alright. I get it."

"Good. Now let's eat."

More like 'Let's somehow attempt to swallow some nearly indigestible garbage.'

For a show with prize money of a million bucks, I'm fairly surprised they can't afford a good cook.

Oh yeah, I forgot Chris spends most of the show's budget on his hair gel.

While leaving, I bumped into Trent.

Like literally. He was carrying his tray of food in his hand and it spilled on me.

"Holy fudge, sorry dude." He said as I attempted to wipe the food of my shirt.

"My mistake." The stains weren't coming off. I needed to wash them off.

"So, weird elimination last night, huh?" He said, attempting to change the subject.

"Tell me about it. Who'd you vote for, if you don't mind me asking."

"Lindsay. I was going to vote for Izzy but Lindsay did slow us down quite a bit."

"Yeah I voted for Lindsay too."

"Hey Trent!" I heard Gwen call out.

She came up to us.

"Yeah. I'm not even here." I said.

"Sorry Noah." She said.

"So what are you guys doing?" She asked.

"Talking about the campfire last night." Trent said.

"I'm still surprised that actually happened. I thought I was dreaming or something."

"Nope. It actually happened." I said.

"I cast my vote for Lindsay. It's a shame the RCMP had to pop in before the final marshmallow was given."

"Too bad."

"I'm gonna go to the beach with Gwen. You wanna come?" Trent asked.

"Thanks but no thanks."

"Okay. See you later. And wipe that food of your shirt."

Well, now's as good a time as any to take a bath.

I let the water hit me at full blast. It stung a little, but at the end, I felt rejuvenated.

I went back to the cabin and changed my shirt. I was about to leave when Cody entered.

"So did you vote for Lindsay or Izzy?" This was a question that would seem weird to anyone else upon seeing them, but Cody knew me so he understood.

"It was a tough decision, but in the end I decided to vote for neither. Izzy's our friend and Lindsay may be dumb but she's still nice. I just didn't have it in me to vote for either." He said.

"So who did you cast your vote for, then?" I asked him.

"I voted for myself just for the heck of it. I knew I'd be safe. I actually explained it in the Voting Cam."

"So that's why it took you so long?"

"Yeah."

"But why weren't you in the bottom three then?"

"I guess Chris knew that either Lindsay or Izzy was going home, so it didn't really matter who was third-to-last."

"True."

"And by the way, I overheard Gwen talking with Leshawna last night about voting for Lindsay. You had already left the cabin, though."

"So then I think the final voting went like this:"

Beth – Izzy (Alliance)

Cody – Cody (Stupidity)

Gwen - Lindsay

Heather – Izzy (Alliance)

Izzy – Lindsay? No idea.

Leshawna - Lindsay

Lindsay – Izzy (Alliance)

Noah - Lindsay

Trent – Lindsay

"That means that even if Izzy voted for someone else, Lindsay would still get more votes with four over three! Lindsay wouldn't be on this island right now were it not for those RCMP."

"Holy shit." Said Cody. He was right.

I marched over to Chris for an explanation.

"Oh look, it's the Noah-it-all." He said. I hate that nickname. Been called it all through school and college.

"Listen Chris McLame, I want to know why Lindsay didn't ride the Boat of Losers yesterday."

"Well actually, no one did. The RCMP came in and scared the hell out of everyone, and the Izzy ran off cackling like a maniac, and then I said in my gorgeous voice-"

"I was at the ceremony too, genius. But I want to know why Lindsay's still here if she got the most votes."

I didn't have anything against Lindsay. It just didn't seem fair that she got to stay in the game despite the fact that the majority of us wanted her out.

"Yeah I knew you'd figure it out. You are one smart cookie. And the answer's plain and simple: because I'm me."

"Um… what?"

"Look man, I'm the host of this show, alright? And whatever I say is final. I knew that Lindsay should have gone home, but then Izzy left. For me, that counts as her voting herself off. And I don't want two people to leave in one episode."

Of course not. Because that would mean one less episode, and therefore less viewers. Ultimately, it was all for ratings.

Oh man, I would have loved to say that to his face, but I didn't know what he would do to me.

"So basically, it's like a monarchy."

"Yep." He answered nonchalantly. "And I'm the king. Haha."

"You sure are the king of douchebaggery, I'll give you that." I turned to leave.

"Whatever smartass."

"Better than being a dumbass like you." I left.

I didn't even need to look to know that he was supremely pissed off.

"So what'd he do?" Cody asked me.

"Nothing. As expected."

"Good thing too. Or else I wouldn't be able to look at those massive jugs of hers."

"It pains me to think how someone can be so pervy."

"Sorry. Maybe playing some chess will ease that pain."

"Let's find out."

We set up the pieces. Despite all the madness going around, the chess games seemed to bring at least one fragment of monotony to an otherwise hectic day.

The free days weren't that bad anyway, but the challenge days were so tiring.

And there were still many more to come.

But I could think about that later. For now, my Bishop and Rook are both in a fork from Cody's Knight. I move my Rook and sacrifice the Bishop as it is weaker. However, I take a pawn with the Rook.

Cody takes my Bishop. He didn't notice that his Knight was previously guarding an important square, but isn't now because it has moved. I do notice and move my Queen in for check. He moves his King out of the way but I bring in my Rook to finish him off.

"Checkmate."

"Damnit."

"You can't just focus on one aspect or you'll get tunnel vision. You must look at the entire board. Pretty similar to TDI if you ask me."

"Well right now things are going okay. At last Gwen and Trent aren't holding a grudge against me. I even got Gwen's bra. I have nothing to worry about. Just chillin like a villain."

He climbed into his bed and I climbed into mine. I felt like sleeping in the top bunk tonight for some reason.

The show was nearly one-third over. Most of the weaker competitors had been eliminated. The real contest had only just begun.

Douchebaggery sounds like such a cool word. It should be added to Oxford immediately!
