Albama Survivor 2004

Well this weekend we headed off to the woods for Alabama Survivor 2004. The contestants were all eager to take on the challenge. On the playing field was
Kevin aka Hunter Gatherer, for at 6 in the morning he was already in search of kinlin
Uju aka So Fresh So Clean, for no one should shower as much as he did on a camping trip
Casey aka Shine Eyes for he will always shine his flashlight in your eyes.
Rex aka Fall Back, for no one can fall over backwards in a chair like him...
Brett aka Bright n Windy based on some genius comments, and the Windiness of his posterior.
Jared aka Not receiving a nick name
Phillip aka Limp Tent for the quality product he brought
Tommy aka On the phone
Jeremy aka No hair on hand
With the contestants in Place. The challenges could begin, the duo of Tommy and Phillip struggled for hours to assemble what would become the tent of choice. The tent of the gasious wars that would lead to many people being voted off.
After the First day the Kamaloos were gone. Nicknames lead to reason of being voted off. Yet despite being voted off, Casey aka Shine Eyes, continued to compete. The next day brought an end to the competition for Rex, and Windy. Rex demanded a recount during his vote, which led to his being voted off two times actually. It was down to the challengers.
Next to go was Kevin, in a close bout with Tommy. THe next round would take out Tommy with a close bout with Jeremy.
It was down to the last 3... who would remain? A challenge of swimming while climbing down cliffs... would this prove the breaker in the challenge? It would lead to an alliance, and Jared was gone.
The final two... who would win. In a unanimous vote, Jeremy was gone, and Phillip would prove to be the forever champion of Survivor Alabama 2004.
The competition was intense, as was the random smells of the weekend. The food was anything but healthy... (as the worlds most complex and high calorie omlet was created...) Rookies would learn some of the ropes of the woods, and how to cook a hotdog over an open fire. The 2.5 mile hike would kill some, and the rains would soak a few. But in the end, most everyone survived.
what a great weekend. the food-most satisfying. my skin has had the most amazing shine ever! note to all breakfast cookers- never buy economy bacon! note to all grillers- 75% beef is only tasty after 2 or 3 invigoratingly vigorous climbs up at least a mile of 45 degree sloped mtns! props to uju for greatest work done on those climbs. the yearlings - windy, fallback, and shine eyes- great little worker bees. yes, a great camping weekend was had by all. interestingly enough, i found that not all relatives are loyal! even if you help keep 'em dry! (that goes for other surviors too!) but when you think family will pull thru for you on a deciding vote...bam! you know where they take sides! must say though, the votes on the survivor were some of the more exciting parts of the weekend. all the tension. ya know, those cameras are hidden well, but we were sure to be dramatic. a few crying scenes were most touching-other more intense scenes were scary-like windy calling everyone a poop head! but hey, its what the desoto survivor episode is all about- drama in the wilderness-that isn't so much wilderness but really expensive water and electricity..

I wish I could've gone to see 100% away from ladies, but still doing all the things the ladies love, like showering and keeping himself so fresh and so clean. As I sit here with a brew in my hand, I say, this brews for you man. This brew's for you.
