Survivor OBX: Day 3

Day three in the Outer Banks was a lot of fun! We made our own makeshift volleyball net out of a long pole and two patio chairs.
Later in the evening, while John and Bonnie were out on the town, we had a no-holds-barred boys versus girls volleyball deathmatch.... the boys won.

During the day, some of us finally learned how to play Settlers of Catan. Its a fun game and very addicting. I just want to keep playing until I can finally win. I know Laura feels the same way.

Now onto Survivor business.....

The Immunity Challenge was a splashing contest in the pool. It came down to Josh and Laura, but Josh made the biggest splash and won immunity for the first time.

Several hours passed between the end of the challenge and the actual vote. There was even more time than usual for sneaking around and making alliances. John and Bonnie arrived home from their date just before the voting started, but to make things interesting, John started making enemies with everyone. There was a lot of bickering back and forth and some people said they were changing their votes at that point.

Josh read the votes.... one for John, one for Laura, four for......

... Mandy! The second blind-side of this season came out of nowhere. We were all sure John was done-for, but in a shocking twist Mandy was booted from the game.
All of the couples are now broken up. What was once John & Bonnie, is now just John. What was once Bert & Laura, is now just Laura. What was once Matt & Emily, is now just Emily. And after tonight, what was once Josh & Mandy, is now just Josh. ... and Robin is floating somewhere around there in the middle of all this.

We had originally planned on having two Immunity Challenges on Day 3, but we ran out of time, so that will probably be made up today. Check back on the blog for more on the continuing saga that is: Survivor:OBX!
