Survivor OBX: Day 1

The first Immunity Challenge started on Sunday evening. A game was devised where a torpedo pool toy was dropped from the top of our deck, two stories up, into the backyard pool.
The goal was to get your torpedo to go through the small hole on the left side of the raft in the pool.
After two rounds, Laura landed both of her torpedos to win the first Immunity Challenge of Survivor: OBX .
There was a short stressful period of time when everyone began to strategize and whisper quietly with their alliances.
Nine votes were placed. Seven were read. One vote for John. One vote for Matt. However, with 5 votes, Bonnie (Mom), (GiGi) became the first person voted out of Survivor: OBX - and the first member of the jury.
Immediately following Bonnie's departure, another Immunity Challenge took place. It was a "Double Eviction Night"!
The next challenge included a child's bowling toy set. The goal, obviously, was to knock over as many pins as you could.
The final round came down to me (Bert) and Emily, but Emily knocked over more pins in the finals and won the second Immunity Challenge. In a shocking move, Emily gave up her immunity to her husband, Matt.
It was a close Tribal Council. There was one vote for Robin, but by a four to three vote margin over Emily, I (Bert), was voted out of Survivor: OBX.
To be honest, I knew I was going to be targetted early on, but I was pretty comfortable with my alliances and I was completely blindsided. Oh well!
So here is how we stand right now.....
The game continues tomorrow. Check back on the blog to find out what happens next time on: Survivor!
