Day 12 on Survivor Island

[Kim returns to camp after a quick swim. Shivering slightly in the evening breeze, she enters her tent to find Marlena, her face thunderous, waiting for her. After a few moments of ominous silence, Kim nervously begins to speak...]

Kim: Is there a problem? [The simple four-word question unleashes a torrent of fury in Marlena, causing Kim to back up against the wall of the tent in apprehension]

Marlena: I'll ask this once and only once. Did you or did you not have anything to do with what happened to Laura today? [Kim blinks confusedly at her, as Marlena continues her tirade] Look, I know you went off on Bob last night, I know that there is something going on with you, and I need to know that you weren't responsible for what happened to Laura...[sensing that she has lost Kim's attention, Marlena raises her voice] ....KIM!!!

Kim: [speaking slowly and deliberately] ...I have no idea what you are talking about, but if you are insinuating that I have done something to harm Laura, then I am appalled. I have been worried sick since about her since I heard about Jennifer. I have also been worried about you; I know that something has happened with Brady that has upset you...but..I...[she trails off, and her voice grows defensive as she starts to speak again]...Just because I lost my temper with Bob .....dammit, that doesn't mean anything.....[growing more frustrated by the minute, she gestures wildly towards the opening of the tent] .....I think you should go check on Laura, don't you?

[Wordlessly, Marlena exits the tent, completely missing the grimace of pain that crosses Kim's face as she leaves....]

*IMMUNITY CHALLENGE and TRIBE NAME*

Yo.

Yeah - this is a surprise, isn't it?

First off, Tribe #2 now has a name. They are Tribe Epojetahwe. For an explanation, ask them :)

Secondly, and this is the real surprise, I'm out of town. It's been a long day. My brain is fried. And I didn't have time to pull together the immunity challenge I had wanted to pull together, but I need to do something and I want something that isn't all that involved for me or for you since it's the weekend and something that I can keep an eye on with a minimum amount of e-mails because I'm on the road through Sunday and don't know what my online access is going to be like until Monday morning.

<deeeeeep breath>

So here is this week's immunity challenge - I'm also out of tacks and creativity, so if you'll excuse it not coming in the form of a rhyming tree mail, I'd appreciate it. Also not totally sure how well it's going to work, but I want to post something tonight (see reasons above), so here you go.

Each team has been given five 1-Gallon buckets of blue nail polish (you do remember the blue nail polish that floated around through most of '96, don't you?). The challenge? Use blue nail polish as much as you can in your posts. Use the polish itself creatively, incorporate the phrase "blue nail polish" into as many posts as you can, talk about blue nail polish memories, find new uses for it, whatever. Be creative. Be silly. Have fun. Me, myself, and our judges (whom I should probably e-mail and alert them to their call to duty for this challenge) will go through and look for the following to decide immunity:

a) Creativity - but you know, use it wisely. Don't just in the middle of a blue nail polish sentence throw it in. Actually try to make it make sense!
b) Number of times phrase "blue nail polish" is used in posts.
c) Participation by Tribe members (if you have 20 mentions of it for your tribe, but they all only come from one member, that just ain't the same as everybody saying it over and over and over).

So. Yeah. There you have it. If you have questions...um...sorry - not so sure I have the answers. I'm leaving this pretty open. Tapes, web, whatever, are pretty useless in this. Nobody needs to e-mail anything and time is not really a factor. I can't think of any other restrictions to put on it, soooo...

You have until Sunday night at 9:00 PM EST (so we can announce immunity around midnight hopefully) to spread the blue nail polish. Go forth and be creative.
