I Love You, But I Hate You: Part 2
Confession Cam:
(Christie) "Chris is lucky I don't kill in front of Jessy, or he would be so dead right now."
(Walter) "Well, being a bad cook might actually come in handy."
(Natalie) "I think I'm going to lose. Jamie is faster than I am… and a hatching egg is something that might freak me out while a spoon's length from my face."
(Erik) "I'm doomed. First, Ade talks faster. Second, she talks more. Finally, every other word out of her mouth is totally."
(Ashlynn) "I have to put my looks in Rufus's hands… well, not my idea of a picnic, but it seriously can't be too bad… unless he tries to get his revenge for the costume and make-up Bex and I put him in last challenge."
(Rufus) "I'm not screwing her over, mostly because that'll be held against me and not her. Now if I can somehow get that dress Brooke wore last challenge…"
"Okay, time to get things started," Chris said. "First up, Cris and Manny, I'd like to introduce you to interns 1 and 2."
"We have names you know," a male intern with a brown buzz cut said.
Without listening to the interns, Chris continued, "They will be counting push-ups. Starting… now."
Cris and Manny looked at one another, then dropped down to the sand and began doing push-ups.
"Now that they'll be occupied for a while, let's move on to our next challenge. Rufus, Harris, pick your partners for your challenge."
"I've got this one," Rufus said grabbing Ashlynn's arm.
Ashlynn lifted and eyebrow at him. "I know you know my name… Ruffie."
"Don't call me that, cheerleader," Rufus said. "Now, we've got a lot of work to do to get you looking hotter than your friend."
"What!"
"Just a small observation," Rufus said.
"I guess that you and I are working together then, right?" Harris said to Alejandra.
"Es okay with me, Chico," she said with a smirk.
"And while they work, lets start our Save a Horse, race. Gail, Greg, choose your ten-gallon hat steers."
"Um… Female!" Madison yelled pointing at herself. "Steers are males!"
Chris just kept smiling, then repeated, "Choose your steers."
"Yeah, I'm not sure if the girl can carry me…" Greg said.
"No problem," Gail said. "Madison, I'm riding you."
There was a moment before Alex said, "That sounded so wrong Gail."
"I kind of want to see that," Rufus said.
The three girls, Ashlynn included, all slapped him simultaneously.
"Anyway, your course is down the stream to the waterfall, cross the lake, wind through the trees until you make it to the shore, and then back to camp. An intern will be following, so no cheating. On your mark…"
"Hey, we're not ready yet," Felton said.
"Get set."
"Jump on, Gail," Madison said crouching down a bit so it would be easier for Gail to get on.
"Go!"
Madison and Gail started a good ten seconds before the guys. "Yeah, that's the spirit, girls!" Todd cheered.
"Come on, they've got nothing on you," Alex yelled.
"Except strength," Erik said.
"They totally do not," Adrian said. "Go, girls! You can totally win. And I totally love your bracelets, Gail!"
"They're called bangles when they're stacked like that," Nessa said.
"Okay, Nessa, Leah, please sit down at this table so we can begin your challenge," Chris said motioning to a table with two chairs, two large bowls of candy hearts, and a sheet of white paper with numbers 1 trough 5 written in large black letters in front of each bowl. "Chef will call a color and a saying, and you two have to find the color with that saying in your bowl before the other. Whoever wins five round first wins."
"Sounds easy enough," Leah said taking a seat.
"What's the catch?" Nessa asked.
"Oh my god, are those spiders?" Leah screamed looking into the bowl.
"Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you, there are spiders stocked in each bowl as well. Remember, if you win, Leah, you get to spend the next six and a half weeks at a luxurious spa."
"You skinny girls ready?" Chef asked. Before they could answer, he called, "Find "My Love" in purple."
The two girls began digging through their bowls. They were each trying to grab at the purple hearts without the spiders crawling on them. Leah was a little more disgusted than Nessa, and Nessa was scrambling through her bowl. "Found it!" Nessa yelled hold one up.
Chris looked at it, then nodded. He placed the heart on the 1 in front of Nessa.
"Next is "Call Me" in orange."
Leah found this one first. Nessa found the next three, then Leah found another two. When they were looking for "My Girl" in pink, Leah was still freaking over the spiders, but Nessa was digging deep in her bowl looking for any pinks. Finally, she growled and jumped into Leah's bowl.
"Hey, Nessa…"
"There are no rules in this game," Nessa said. "Found it!"
"And Nessa wins the Iguanas their first point," Chris said. "Lets see how the Toucan Save a Horse race is going."
"Where's the danged stream?" Felton questioned struggling with Greg on his back. He had lost Madison in a thick brush (that Gail had objected against, but Madison knew was a short cut to the stream). Now they were completely lost.
"Well, maybe you should turn the same way as your girlfriend did," Greg suggested.
Felton coughed, dropped Greg, and shook his head. "Sorry, bout dropping you, but Mad is my sister, not my girlfriend. Plus, I think I have an idea about how to stop them and find out where they are." He took a deep breath, then yelled loudly, "Keep trying, Maddie, but you know I'm faster than you!"
"Don't call me Maddie, Felton Nathaniel Higgins!" Madison yelled from the opposite side of the stream.
"Keep going," Gail said, using Madison's hair like reigns to steer her toward the shore as she tried to turn back to hurt her brother. "Kill him after we win."
"Well, at least we know what direction to head now," Felton said as he crouched for Greg to jump back up.
"Now, lets see if Brooke is a better tickler, or if Zak is a better laugher," Chris said. "Choose your partners." Zak and Ritchie paired off, leaving Brooke with Lisa. "And… tickle."
Ritchie and Brooke immediately reached out and tried to make Zak and Lisa laugh. However, Brooke had barely touched Lisa before a loud laugh rang through the camp. "Ahh, that tickles." Brooke hung her head as Zak continued to laugh several seconds after Ritchie stopped tickling him.
"I'm sorry, I'm very ticklish," he said.
"It's okay, Zak," Manny called from his push-ups. Cris, it seemed, was taking a break and Manny had just pulled into the lead.
"Not to mention I've had years of practice on Brookie here," Ritchie said, reaching out and tickling his cousin. Brooke immediately scream-laughed, then broke away.
"I think it's time for the eggs to hatch," Chris called. Jamie and Natalie each stood on a line, the end of a spoon in their mouth, and a hatching egg in each spoon. "Remember, if your egg drops, you must return to the start, grab a new hatching egg, and start over. And… go!"
Both began walking. Natalie was a little shaky, and Jamie walking as if totally mellowed out.
"Is he high again?" Bex question.
"I'm insulted," Jamie mumbled. "But watching this egg hatch makes me feel a bit high. It's, like…"
"Shut up and talk after you finish," Bex yelled.
"You might drop the spoon," Todd said.
"No!" Natalie yelled as her hatching egg fell. She dropped to her knees to check that the chick wasn't hurt. It wasn't, but it was covered in sand.
"And Jamie wins!" Chris said as Jamie crossed the line. "Getting the Toucans their first official point to tie the game."
"You can put the spoon and chick down now, you know," Alex said.
"I like it," Jamie said. "It's a cheap trip."
"And not to mention legal," Natalie called from the start line.
"Shout out 'Hi-ho Silver,'" Madison told Gail as they came into sight of the camp again.
"Why?" Gail asked.
"It's a Western thang," Madison said. "Please do it…"
"Fine," Gail said. She then shouted out loudly, "Ho-hi Silver."
"Hi-ho," Madison yelled at her. "Like the dwarfs from Snow White."
"Oh, sorry," Gail said. The whole camp was staring at them. "Hi-Ho Silver!"
"And Gail and Madison come in bumping the Toucans to first with three points," Chris said.
"Wasn't there supposed to be a stream?" Greg asked.
"Eventually…," Felton said.
"I hope they send a search party for us," Greg sighed.
"Ah'm exhausted," Madison said. "Ah'm taking a dip in the ocean." She crawled into her tent, then came back out in her brown swimsuit.
"And now, Campers, it's time for a fire spectacular," Chris announced. "The St. James sisters will be having a fire-spitting contest. Are you girls ready?"
"Yep!" they replied in unison.
"Remember, you each have two shots, and… Go!"
Phoebe went first, spitting the fire about ten feet. Atalanta then spit just a few inches farther. With Phoebe's second shot, she got about fifteen feet. Atalanta smiled, then, with a large breath, spit her fire all the way to the tents, hitting one. Bex came running out, half dressed, covering her chest with one arm and dragging her bag with the other.
"What the hell!" She yelled. "I'm trying to change for my challenge and my tent incinerates!"
"And Atalanta wins!" Chris yelled
"Come on people, we have to do better here!" Christie growled.
"Oh, no, all my clothes were in there!" Madison yelled coming out of the water.
"Well, not all your clothes," Gail said motioning to the suitcase that Felton had brought her.
"Satine… Todd… are you ready?" Chris asked.
"Yep," they replied in unison.
"Then skate!"
It was extremely hard to rollerblade in the sand. So much so that Satine quickly stopped trying to blade and began running as if she was in shoes. In a matter of minutes, she had five of the nine flags and won.
As Bex and Nick wrestled, they were half-laughing. To them, this wasn't so much a competition as a game. However, Nick, being the guy, was slightly stronger and soon won… after Bex's top came a little loose and she tried to keep herself decent… again.
"You seriously think that Zak and Walter are tied for the best looking guys here?" Chris asked Genevieve a fifth time.
"Final answer," Genevieve insisted and handed in her sheet of who she thought the best looking guys were.
"And Mel?"
"Rufus, Manny, Erik, Todd…"
"And Mel wins," Chris announced.
Confession Cam:
(Mel) "It helps having seven straight sisters always gossiping about the cute guys."
"I totally agree with you, Mel," Adrian said looking at the pictures. She grabbed a picture of Rufus and ran to where he was working on Ashlynn. "Can you sign this for me? It would totally mean a lot to me."
Rufus laughed and grabbed an eye liner. "Sure," Rufus said and sighed across the bottom. "You probably want to get that framed now."
"Totally," Adrian said and screamed with delight.
"I am so going to lose this," Erik slapped his face.
"You know, you could try," Nessa said.
Erik just glared at her, then walked away.
Alex and Josh went underwater together, and thirty seconds later, Josh popped up for air. It was still another twenty seconds before Alex came up to receive a strong hug from Gail. "You won!"
Confession Cam:
(Alex) "Well the fact that Josh has tried to drown me several times has made my ability to hold my breath for a long time a lot stronger. We have a neighborhood pool we visit a lot. He dunks me several times each visit."
"Now, add that red stuff," Phoebe told Walter as he tried to cook the most disgusting food he could.
"Just add all the cloves," Jamie told Dexter.
"All?"
"Yes, and several eggs," Jamie said. "Don't worry if you get egg shell in there."
"This smells really bad," Dexter said. "I feel like I might throw up…"
"Add it," Bex said.
"Are they allowed to coach him?" Nessa asked.
"You guys are coaching Walter," Bex snapped said.
Dexter suddenly gagged, and a bit of spit got into his pot. Jessy cringed. "Do I really have to eat that?" She had already eaten several bad fruits, a stale loaf of bread, and some lumpy soup.
"Yes," Dexter said pushing the pot to her. One whiff of the contents and everything Jessy had eaten came spilling out.
"Yeah, Jessy!" Madison cheered.
"And now, time for the beauty contest," Chris announced.
Alejandra came out first in a black cocktail dress, spun and smiled. "She certainly looks very nice," Chris said. "Ashlynn, can you beat her?"
Rufus opened the tent for Ashlynn, who came out in Brooke's red gown from the last challenge, her hair in an elegant bun, and just the perfect amount of make-up. She winked at Chef.
"I like the one in red," Chef said.
"And two more points for the Toucans," Chris said.
"Oh, great, we can't win now," Nessa rolled her eyes.
"Well, if Erik can beat his cousin, I'll give you guys four points," Chris said. "So, if Manny beats his mentor, and Autumn loses, you'll be tied."
"Great, what's the score so far?" Christie asked.
"Erik has three; Adrian has 649."
"I do? That's totally awesome!"
"And I stand corrected. Six fifty."
"We're doomed," Walter said shaking his head.
"Okay, Autumn, Joey, time to get your tools out," Chris said and led them to two broken golf carts. "First to get theirs running again will win this round."
Confession Cam:
(Autumn) "Oh, great, now all those years in mechanics will finally pay off. Oh… wait, I never touched an engine in my life. I can hardly even tell if a car needs gas or not."
After a few minutes of Autumn trying random things to her golf cart, and lots of loud clangs from Joey, the sound of an engine purring permeated the camp.
"And Joey wins!" Chris said. "And, now to count up the totals of Manny and Erik. Well, Erik lost… by a lot. What did Manny and Cris score?"
"Manny got had 1,999."
"Chris had 1998."
"And, Manny got his team their second point," Chris said. "But still, no where near enough points to even come close to winning. So, Toucans win! Okay, everyone, say good-bye to friends, family, or whatever. If you won, you'll get a key to your suite when you get to the Playa De Losers. Meanwhile, Iguanas, time to vote someone off. And seeing as how only Nessa and Manny actually won their challenges, I think all the Toucans agree that they should get immunity, so you can't vote them off."
"Have you seen mah brother?" Madison asked Gail as everyone boarded the boat.
"No," Gail said. "And I haven't seen Greg either." They both shrugged.
"Must've been too shamed to say good-bye to us," Madison said.
Iguanas, time to vote someone off. Manny and Nessa both won their challenges, Erik, Christie, Walter, Zak, Brooke, Genevieve, and Phoebe lost. Please PM your vote soon.
