That would be great.

Except I'm a teetotaler so I don't drink.

And I'm a workaholic so I rarely go out.

However coffee is probably an option if you can get the workaholic away from his computer.

I'd be down with that if it's late in the am or early afternoon-not much of a coffee drinker after 11am unless it's Sunday brunch time.

Day 28: Pure Blood Tribe:

(After a lengthy absense) The mood back at camp is both happy and sombre. The previous members of 4 seasons tribe were celebrating while the former members of 5000 years were shitting bricks. 'We can just pick them off one by one', said Superhero. The 4 of them got together to make a tentative order of elimination. 'If one person wins immunity, we'll just vote off the next one. Simple.' said Yu Bum Suck.

Yu Bum Suck was feeling good, now that the heat was off of him. 'At the very least I'll make it longer than those 3 guys (pointing to Homer, Ajgeddes, and Race Traitor). I have a good chance to make it to the final 3 this way.'

The former members of 5000 years tribe wondered if there was a crack in the alliance of 4. They collectively agreed that Yu Bum Suck would be the most likely to crack. They would approach him later.

Rock mail came, alerting the tribes to their next challenge. It was something to do with fashion, and skill with your hands. The 7 remaining survivors set off to take the next challenge.

When arriving, there were 7 small tables each with a mannequin on them. They were man's mannequins all with an identical balding head. Beside the manneqiins were several cans of aerosol hairspray and many combs and brushes.

Jeff explained that this would be a challenge of Korean ajosshi fashion. Each person will have 5 minutes. Whoever can give the mannequin the best combover for the bald spot would win the challenge. The prize would be to spend the next day and night in a Korean sauna.

GO!!!! The survivors all went hard at work. Ilsanman didn't seem to know where to start, as he cuts his hair very short. Jaganath seemed to be a real natural. Others seem to trod along as best they could.

After 5 minutes, Jeff judged them. Most players were not able to cover up the bal spot well. Jeff declared the winner as Superhero!!! He totally covered up the bald spot, even though there was a huge crease on the side of the head. That is standard Korean ajosshi combover action, Jeff explained. All of the players simultaneously exclaimed 'whooooooooo' in amazement.

Superhero was air lifted to nearby Ullengdo for a night at the sauna while the others all rotted in their bird poop covered camp. Homer and his alliance used this opportunity to approach Yu Bum Suck, but he refused to talk about anything but pleasantries and the wonders of the 4 seasons. The alliance seemed impossible to crack....

Superhero returned the next day to be well bathed, shaven, and smelling of feminine perfume. When asked 'how was it?', he made some comment about having middle aged men pointing at his crotch and laughing.

The food was running low and no one except for Homer wanted to ask for more. The general consensus was that they'd rather starve than eat more kimchi and rice. Even the corn tea wasn't going over well. Most players seemed to have lost several kg.

Rock mail alerted them of their next immunity challenge. Jaganath seemd to not want to go. The former 4 seasons tribe made a pact that they would try to help each other win if possible.

When arriving, an obstacle course was all set up with some really foul smell lingering in the air. Jeff explained, each player would have to balance a clay pot on their head that was exactly 20% of their body weight (before the game's weight, not current) and navigate through an obstacle course while dodging puddles of spit, puke and urine. This symbolized that an ajumma's job was never easy, nor done. No body contact was allowed, and this struck a chord within the players, saying then 'it wasn't authentic ajumma duty'. Regardless, it was disallowed.

Each player lined up with their pot on their head, some bigger than others. GO!!! Ilsanman trudged along, ebing careful not to drop his pot. Homer stepped in a puddle of puke but laughed it off. Yu Bum Suck got winded after only 10 seconds, while gaining a profound respect for ajummas. Ajgeddes and Superhero took a commanding lead, and were almost neck and neck. With only 100 metres or so left to go and no chance to catch up, the other 4 players gave up. Homer continued even though it was hopeless. Aj and Superhero raced over the finish line at seemingly the same time. Jeff asked the cameras to do an action replay, but they could not determine who finished first. For the first time ever, 2 players had won immunity!!!

Respecting Ajgeddes' athletic ability, the former 4 Seasons members tried to sway him over to their side. Offering him a place in the final 5, and reminding him that he had to win every immunity challenge if he refused the,, Ajgeddes agreed to turn against his old mates.

At Tribal Council, Homer and Racetraitor blasted the former mebers of 4 seasons tribe, complaining about how arrogant and lazy they had become. He also told them off for quitting the challenge, whichy raised some eyebrows. Ilsan and Jaga gave each other looks, but openly talking about voting was not allowed at Tribal Council. Superhero seemed annoyed by Homer's rant.

Voting:

Ilsanman, Jaganath, Superhero, and Yu Bum Suck: Race Traitor

Homer, Rave Traitor, Ajgeddes: Jaganath

With 4 votes, Race Traitor is the next to go and the next to join the jury. Who will be voted out next? Stay tuned...

Day 31: Pure Blood Tribe

Homer and Ajgeddes were totally on the outs with the rest of the tribe; so much that they didn�t want to spend time with the rest of the tribe. The other members of the tribe sang and drank corn tea and kimchi until the wee hours of the night, arrogantly celebrating their victory. �It doesn�t matter what the jury says, they have to vote for one of us,� boasted Superhero. Jaganath was the loudest and most obnoxious of all.

In the morning, when Homer and Aj didn�t join the rest of the tribe for breakfast, they suggested hiding the rest of the food. When Homer finally asked for some, Yu Bum Suck answered, �there�s no food left, the dude�.

Rock mail brought an end to the tensions. The challenge hinted at something related to smoking.

Upon arrival, they saw 6 small tables with 15 or so cigarettes on each. Jeff explained the rules; each player was to smoke all of the cigarettes on their own table, Korean style. The first person to finish or the last man standing wins. The prize was 2 large pizzas from �Pizza Hand�, a local Korean style pizza place. Complete with corn, sweet potato, hot sauce, and pickles. Pepsi too, as it�s cheaper than Coke.

Go!!! Homer dropped out first, as he refused to smoke. Ilsanman smoked 2 but threw up. He was out. Aj tried to smoke some, but Jeff disqualified him for smoking like a woman. It came down to Jaganath and Yu Bum Suck. Both were neck and neck, but then finally Jeff�s words flashed thru Jaga�s mind�.he said Korean style!! Jaga took 2 drags of each smoke and then dropped them on the ground, stomping them with his shoe. It�s Korean style!! Jaganath wins!!

Jeff said the prize is for only 1. However, he can invite others to join him if he wishes. He invited Ilsanman, Superhero, and Yu Bum Suck. Homer and Ajgeddes were left without.

Homer and AJ went back to camp first, and found the hidden food. They cooked some up and ate it. Upon the other 4�s arrivals, a huge shouting match started. Ilsanman told them they�re all pathetic, and was bawled out. Superhero insulted Homer and AJ�s manliness. At the end, an angry Homer threatened to delete all of their posts when the game was over. All players resolved to win the next immunity challenge.

Upon arriving at the immunity challenge site, there was a small group of Korean university students wearing a mix of SF hats, NY Yankees hats, carrying Louis Vitton bags. 2 pink shirts within the males. Jeff said the players would watch an identical video 3 times. It was a video of Switzerland vs Korea at World Cup 2006, and the 2nd goal by Switzerland. After that, each player would have 30 seconds to give their opinion to the students. Ajgeddes was up first.

AJ claimed that the goal was offside, and since the flag went up, they should stop playing. Screw the whistle!! He also mentioned the FIFA Swiss man was corrupt. The students nodded in approval.

Homer said basically the same thing, but added that the Swiss embassy should be bombed, and the �Su-wiss-eu� team was terrible. He also made mention of a conspiracy to keep Korea down, and that Lee Woon Jae was great. The students smiled a lot.

Ilsan, Jaga, Yu, and Superhero all told the students that Korea�s team blows ass, their coach sucked, and that the goal was legal. They said 2002 was a fluke and it�d never happen again. The students were so angry, the challenge had to be stopped. They declared Homer as the winner. Homer had immunity for tonight�s vote.

The jury came into tribal council; Adventurer, Tiger Beer, MilwaukieDave, and Race Traitor.

At tribal council, Jeff asked the alliance of 4 why they threw the challenge. Yu Bum Suck answered �It didn�t matter. If one of these guys (motioning to Homer and AJ) had immunity, the other one could be easily voted out. Next time, we have to win.� It was time to vote.

Jaga, Ilsan, Yu, Superhero: Ajgeddes

Ajgeddes, Homer: Jaganath

With 2 votes, Ajgeddes joined the jury. Who will be voted out next time? Stay tuned for next episode�.
