Just bitter b/c you got eliminated?

[Yu_Bum_suk]

Great challenges this time around - I could see myself actually trying to smoke them all to the butt and not being able to hold back my opinion about Korea vs. Swiss.

I once did a World Cup dialogue with my students. It was two American high school students discussing the World Cup (as if two ethnic white Yank teens would ever even discuss that). One of them asked the other what she thought of America's chances. The other responded 'I don't know. There are a lot of really great teams, like France, Brazil, and Korea'. None of my students got that that was supposed to be funny.

Day 34: Homer walked back from tribal council with a false smile on his face. Even though he knew he was next on the chopping block, he also knew that if he won immunity, one of the alliance of four would be cut off at the ankles. He could try to control who that would be, but maybe not...

Back at camp, all celebrated except for Yu Bum Suck. Yu felt he may be at the bottom of the totem pole, and wouldn't make the final 3. He wished he's betrayed his alliance and gone to the final 3 with Homer and Ajgeddes. That ship has sailed...

The next challenges were super important, and all would vie to win them. No more throwing challenges. The plan of the 4 was to sabotage Homer, and keep him weak and demoralized. But it wasn't easy, as he seemed to gain energy just by being in the land of 4 seasons...

Rock mail came after a rough night in season #3. It summoned them to a challenge, and hinted that it was related to fashion.

At the challenge, a star guest was there....The gayest man in Korea, Andre Kim!!! Also the only gay Korean man in the world. He was adorned in all white, from head to toe, and about a gallon of crude in his hair. He said this next challenge would be 'fashionable, wonderful, fantastic', and mixed up a bad french accent with a mix of English and Korean. No one understood.

On the table, there were 5 identical Louis Vitton bags. The players would have 1 minute to inspect the bags, and then guess which one was real. If you got it wrong, you're out. All players passed over the one with the 'LW' logo, and voted. 4 out of 5 players voted for #2 bag, and Superhero alone voted for #5. #2 was correct, Superhero was out.

Jeff brought out 5 more bags, and it continued. This time, Homer and Ilsanman voted for #1, and Jaga and Yu voted for #3. #1 was correct, it was down to Homer vs Ilsanman.

This time, there were 10 bags. 2 were real. The first person to miss a guess was out. Ilsanman voted #4 and Homer voted #5. #4 was correct, Ilsanman wins reward!!!! The reward was either 1 real LV bag or 3 fake ones. He chose 3, and said he'd give them to his wife and Mother in Law.

Ilsanman was beaming after winning the challenge. Homer saw this opportunity, and planted the idea that Ilsanman was strong and was a real threat to win the game. He also mentioned that Ilsanman seemed to be a master manipulator. Superhero seemed to listen, and Jaganath told Homer to *beep* off and stop spreading hatred around. He also reminded Homer that his ass was next.

Back at camp, Homer walked on eggshells around the others, working hard to show his worth. Even though it was less than likely to work, he had to try. Also, he ate as much rice and kimchi as his stomach would hold, retaining strength for the upcoming challenge. It was a must-win situation.

Arriving at the challenge site, Jeff took the immunity idol off of Homer. Homer quickly added 'I'll be seeing you again right away'. Jeff explained, this challenge would be about understanding the Korean mind. Each player would reach into a bag and pull out 2 numbered chips. Those corresponded to supplies they would be given. Then each player would be given a Japanese flag and 5 minutes to do with it as they pleased.

Homer got a pair of scissors and a marker. Jaganath got a lighter and a pot of mud. Ilsanman got a big black board marker and a rice bowl. Yu Bum Suck got gasoline and an envelope. Superhero got a magnifying lens and a bic razor. Go!!!

Ilsanman drew a line through the red circle and painted it to look the same as the Korean flag. He then spit on it. Jaganath cleaned his ears with it, then used the lighter to light a cigarette. Superhero tried desperately to light a fire from the sun, but alas, rainy season occurs in the season 'Summer'. Yu Bum Suck threw gasoline on the Dokdo rocks and asked Jaga for the lighter. Homer went right to work with the scissors, cutting a tracing of '우리 땅' on the flag, then stomping on it, then biting the flag. He then drew a quick cartoon picture of everything great about Korea on the flag. Homer had won immunity!!!! He was safe from the vote, and one of the alliance of 4 needed to be voted off.

In a twist in the game, Jeff announced that they would go directly to tribal council, and not be able to discuss with each other a voting strategy. It made the alliance of 4 uneasy, as none of them were safe.

The jury came in: Adventurer, AjGeddes, Race Traitor, Tiger Beer, and MilwaukieDave. 2 more of the remaining 5 would join the jury before the end of the game.

Jeff asked careful questions, darting around the issue of voting, so no one could get an idea of who anyone wished to vote for.

Voting:

Ilsanman, Jaganath: Yu Bum Suck

Yu Bum Suck, Superhero, Homer: Ilsanman

With 3-2, Ilsanman was the next to join the jury. Who would be eliminated next? Stay tuned to find out...

Writer's note: You didn't really expect me to win my own story, did you? That would be super lame-ola.

[SuperHero]

Nailed me on the fashion thing - my wife is always talking about big brand names and i could care less...

good story so far.

Did you have a Merry Christmas?

I had a Merry Christmas.

I hope you had Mery Christmas.


Happy New Year.

You are on the jury. When it's down to the final 3, you have a jury vote, if you wish to use it.

Day 37: The tribe of 4 returned from tribal council dejected, except for Homer. As soon as they returned, a shouting match ensued between Homer and the other 3. Jaganath was angry at his friend being voted off, but Superhero and Yu justified it that someone had to be voted off, and Ilsan needed to go. Jaganath thought about it for a minute, and accepted that. Homer was pretty much ostracized from the rest of the tribe.

Jaganath thought ahead, and if Homer won immunity once again, he had to protect his interests. He tried to guess who Homer would vote for, and to vote with him...

On the morning of Day 37, the final reward challenge was up. It would give the winner a strength boost leading into the final immunity challenge, guaranteeing that person a spot in the final 3.

The Rock Mail hinted that it related to christianity and Korea's interpretation of it. When arriving at the site, Jeff explained that this challenge was to thump the bible the best and most annoying, uniquely Korean way, and that person would get a feast and a night in a Yeogwan on Ullengdo. Each competitor grabbed a bible and went to work. Jaganath put it back in favour of a Korran. Superhero chanted 'God loves you, God lives you,' while Yu Bum Suck said the same but added 'If you don't believe, you go to hell'. He also cupped his hands over his mouth and shouted it louder. Homer tried to copy this, but he just didn't have the spirit. Yu Bum Suck won!! He was taken via helicopter and would return the next day all refreshed and well fed.

Back at camp, the other stewed in their juices and thought about how to survive this one last tribal council. Many players had different ideas. Jaganath and Superhero decided that if Homer won immunity, they would vote together.

Yu Bum Suck returned the next day, and dodged all questions about his experience. �I am in this game until the end. Let�s just make it through this challenge, and then we decide�, said Yu to his allies. Homer psyched himself up for this final challenge.

At the final reward challenge, Jeff explained that this was a reward of learning from your mistakes. It was a combination of 5 previous challenges all put together. First, each player would have to eat either a can of bondegi or smoke a cigarette halfway and stomp it under their shoe. Then they would move to the next part, where they had to run a short obstacle course while simulating chasing a subway car or bus. You were allowed to hit up to 2 old ladies but couldn�t hit a man.

The 3rd phase had them scrape 100 grams of bird crap off of the rocks next to them, and take it to a scale. Then they had to stand on a platform and down as many shots of soju as they could before passing out. The winner would have a guaranteed spot in the final 3.

On your marks, get set, Go!!!

Homer and Superhero got the quickest starts, as Superhero tried to smoke the cigarette and Homer opted for the bugs. Jaganath savoured the flavour of the cigarette and the 4 seasons taste while Yu Bum Suck could barely move from being stuffed at his feast.

Heading into the 2nd obstacle, Homer and Superhero had slight leads. Homer dodged all of the cardboard cutouts while Superhero decked an old lady and accidentally hit a man. Jaganath ran in a straight line and clobbered 3 women, 2 men, and a little girl on a bicycle. Yu Bum Suck dropkicked a foreign girl�s cutout in the face.

Heading into the 3rd obstacle, Superhero was in the lead. He went a-scraping. Homer searched for a few seconds and found a bigger clump of bird crap. Yu Bum Suck and Jaga couldn�t seem to find any good deposits of bird crap and fell desperately behind. Homer got up on the platform first, and huffing and puffing, downed 5 shots of liquid hero before anyone else could even start. He passed out at 9. Superhero was next up, but only got down 6 shots. Yu Bum Suck poured his birdcrap into Jaga�s pail and Jaga went up. He slammed 15 shots before falling to a knee.

Jaga won the soju challenge, but Homer was given bonus points for not hitting any men in part 2, and a time bonus for getting past each obstacle before Jaga did. Homer narrowly wins immunity!!! The other 3 once again has to contemplate who would be out, and maybe who would vote for one of them in the jury. Each player kept their vote to themselves.

The jury of 6 came into tribal council: Adventurer, Race Traitor, Tiger Beer, MilwaukieDave, Ajgeddes, and Ilsanman.

At final tribal council, Jeff asked what this final vote would be based on. Superhero said �Who will vote for us and not him (Homer) in the jury. But who knows?� Jaganath said �I feel vulnerable tonight�. Superhero and Yu Bum Suck agreed.

It was time to vote.

Homer: Jaganath

Yu Bum Suck: Superhero

Superhero and Jaganath: Yu Bum Suck


Yu Bum Suck became the 7th and final member of the jury. Now it will go onto the final tribal council.

[Ilsanman]

To Yu Bum Suck, Ajgeddes, Race Traitor, MilwaukieDave, Tiger Beer, and Adventurer:

You can post on this thread any questions for the final 3, if you wish. You may also PM me with your vote if you wish. You have 1 week. If you choose not to vote, I will vote for you.

[Milwaukiedave]

Ok, I just started reading this thread. It's funny, but someone could have let me know much sooner and I would have posted here.

Jag, Homer and Superhero, you've played a good game, but tell me what regrets you have about your participation in this forum? Your answer will help me decide how I vote.

[Milwaukiedave]

Also my vote can be bought for the right price...

Just kidding!

[SuperHero]

[Ilsanman]

Jaganath: I wish I had voted differently along the way. Then I wouldn't be sitting next to these 2 wan kers (pointing at Superhero and Homer).
