The limo was waiting for the couples
and as both crawled in the whoosh of the closing door signaled the beginning of
the surprise for the men. Lindsey and Amelia would not divulge their
destination, and in fact made the guys put on blind folds. The ride was not too
long but the smell of the sea air was what Cliff recognized right off the bat.
He left his window rolled down a bit and that was the first tip off for him.
Well, that and the sounds he had come to love the most in his life-the sounds
of the waves and the ocean critters. Smiling again, the girls announced it was
time to take off the blind folds. To Cliff's delight, the picture of the most
famous whale in the world-yes, Shamu-appeared before the group and Cliff
breathed the name of their destination. "Seaworld" Amelia took Sam's
hand and led him into the exhibit building and they separated from Cliff and
Lindsey. "I know this isn't what you were expecting, Sam but I thought it
would be fun to walk around and enjoy the sea life here and give us a chance to
talk. I hope you are not disappointed," Amelia added as an after thought.
"Absolutely not! I haven't been here in many years and it will be fun to
check out the penguins and dolphins. And besides as long as I am with you I
could never be disappointed," Sam responded with sudden shyness. Sam had
mentioned Amelia's favorite sea animal-the penguin. She smiled broadly and took
his hand again, being sure to lean in for a quick kiss before they made their
way to the penguin exhibit...

Lindsey was quick to take Cliff's
hand and go to one of her favorite aquariums at Seaworld-the Aquarium de la
Mer. As an oceanographer, her specialty was marine biology and she had been to
this Seaworld many times in her life-for school work and pleasure. For some
reason the Pacific Ocean wildlife intrigued her even more than her own backyard
of Florida. After having conversations with Cliff about his real dreams in
llife, she knew this would be the perfect dream destination for them both. As
they walked in silence, stopping then walking and walking then stopping,
Lindsey could not resist the impulse she felt at this very moment. She pulled
Cliff closer and just as she was about to kiss him, he pulled her in tightly
and laid the gentlest and sweetest kiss on her soft 'Angelina like' lips. As
her heart fluttered, it then began to thump loudly and she kissed Cliff back
with a force that surprised even her. Pulling back Lindsey murmured an apology as
Cliff pulled her to his chest again. Chuckling, Cliff kissed her soft blond
hair and thanked her for bringing him to this place. "Lindsey-you really
DO get me. You knew my favorite spot on earth besides the beach and you chose
to share it with me!" "Cliff-I remembered how you told me that your
father wanted you to join the family business after college and how much that
hurt you," Lindsey pointed out. "I know you love the ocean as much as
I do, and I can only imagine how I would feel if my parents had forbidden me to
pursue MY dream," she continued, curling into his body. "That is my
secret," Cliff said in agreement. "But how could you know it had come
to THAT," he asked somewhat incredulous at her astute observations.
"It has been written all over your face every time you are near the
ocean-it IS your element. I recognized that look and could see that you were
hurting. Maybe that's why you have never seemed to find your niche. You surf
but you want so much more," Lindsey nodded. Cliff mused at how could one
man get so lucky to have found a woman that not only understood his moods but
also his dream. He shook his head as he thought this and then the couple began
to comment about the fish around them in la Mer: "Poisonous lion fish,
orange and black stripes in order," Lindsey noted with a grin. "Giant
Pacific Octopus-tentacles plentiful and ribbed," Cliff agreed with a nod.
"Delicate moon jellyfish-purple, clear and floating," Lindsey giggled
at her new favorite game she shared at this actually very sweet man beside her.
"And don't forget the soft pink anemones and white coral," Cliff
added with satisfaction. The couple made their way along the glass wall softly
telling each other the little things they loved about their favorite sea
animals, and knowing that each creature was bring them closer to their
dreams... and each other...

This very happy couple could not
believe their luck. Standing before them were the cutest penguins Sam and
Amelia had ever seen-AND they were up close and personal. Dressed in their
jackets and scarves, the couple could not believe the cold weather Adelies,
Macaronis and Emperors stood clustered in groups many with their young nearby.
Feeding a few and touching beaks very carefully, Amelia was braver than Sam. He
was a little concerned that her proximity to the beaks of the taller penguins
was not the best idea, but Amelia laughed and played around the little penguins
being careful not to become too boisterous. However since both wanted to see
other animals, they decided to move on and find the seal exhibit. As they
neared the beach rocks and water they could hear the barks of the seals and
spoke to the trainer in charge. The couple followed the guide to the fish
bucket and as soon as they reached it the seals began to encircle them as they
knew this routine-feeding time had arrived. Amelia took a small fish by the
tail and followed the directions the trainer had laid out. She clapped when the
momma seal took the fish from her but it was gobbled up before Amelia could
even retract her hand. Sam got brave and held one out for a papa seal and then
for a baby. This couple was mesmerized by the good manners the seals displayed
and Amelia was practically rolling when Sam began to imitate the waddling gait
of the seals. "Okay," Sam began as he waddled holding his hands in
front of his body as flippers. Amelia giggled and tried to outdo Sam. But he
was such a showman that was a difficult task and this time Amelia cracked up,
literally rolling in the aisle. Luckily lunch time for the seals was over, and
it was time for the big show-something this couple could definitely relate to:
TV 5 was filming along with the Bachelor film crew and the 'Sam and Amelia
Show' would be featured later that night!... Smile

Lindsey and Cliff met up with Sam
and Amelia for the big show that evening. Shamu and friends were getting ready
to perform after the first show by the dolphins and baby beluga whales. Amelia
adored the dolphins and especially their cute staccato voices. That was
something that had always attracted her to dolphins when her dad first told her
that was how baby dolphins told their parents they loved them. But for Lindsey
the favorite was the baby beluga. There was just something that appealed to her
on a very maternal level about this creature-it's rounded head and nose and
it's playful nature was hard for her to resist. Both couples appreciated the
tricks of all of the animals this night and The large orca whale was certainly
no exception. Lindsey had mixed feeling about the very controversial move of
trainers getting in the water with such strong and predatory animals such os
the Orca whale. but she herself of ten had to et in the water with marine life
and knew that good preparation for the trainers was really the key. And she
felt that nobody should be forced to do so without their own permission. But
tonight she was just a spectator and so she relaxed and enjoyed the show with
the rest of the crowd. Clapping and yelling for more the audience love this
evening's performance and soon the big show was over. Sam and Amelia chatted
about the tricks as Cliff and Lindsey discussed the species, and each couple
definitely decided they were ready for dinner. But fish on the menu anyone?
Nope-both couples so loved their dates and the animals that played such a big
part in it that they could not bear the idea of eating anything even remotely
related at least for this evening...

The evening colors followed the
foursome as the limo drove along Pacific Coast Highway shadow chasing shadow
until the palette of hues turned into ebony black. The stars emerged lighting
the way for the lovers as they came to a stop in front of a fire pit and
outdoor cafe. On the menu was either steak or burgers-beef all the way. Cliff
ordered up four rib eyes with the works 'to go' and the duos drove around the
park off of Oceanfront Blvd. The cold Stella Artois on ice were brought out as
this group was not in the mood for any more champagne. Water was available with
iced tea too, and the hungry foursome sat down at the tables to dine in virtual
privacy as Cliff had thought to move a table to the far side of the picnic
area. Whispering a deaux, this dinner took on greater intimacy as the darkness
grew. Trees blocked the moon's face and no twinkling stars were visible behind
the african aloe trees swaying in the shoreline's path. Stolen kisses and
murmuring amid giggles and sighing, words had no place here while these lovers
shared their dinner interspersed with talk of dreams, futures and plans to
build their lives with each other...

The drive back to the villas was a
quiet one, each couple content to sit with arms and torsos intertwined, taking
advantage of the last moments alone. When the vehicle pulled up to the girls'
villa Cliff helped Lindsey out and walked her to the door kissing her along the
way. Saying goodnight Cliff was satisfied that he and Lindsey had that special
connection that he had longed to find with another. The nervousness he felt
earlier was long gone and replaced with a surety he hadn't experienced before.
He would have sweet dreams tonight and every night thereafter. Sam hopped out
and just as he reached for Amelia's hand Chris H. came up behind him startling
him in his reverie. "Agh-um Chris-you surprised me," he stuttered.
"Sorry you two-but I need to speak to you about something," Chris
apologized. Sam and Amelia followed Chris to the archway and sat in the chairs
provided. "We have an unusual situation here guys and it is something we
have never dealt with before on this show." Amelia and Sam looked at Chris
puzzled by the serious tone in his voice. "We have been contacted by TV5
News here and apparently they want to show footage of you two taken earlier at
the zoo. They recognized you both from You Tube footage that has been
leaked," Chris informed them sternly. "What? What footage," Sam
asked incredulously. "Yeah-what are you talking about Chris,"
Amelia's soprano voice asked rising above Sam's. "Remember our show-the
Karaoke contest we filmed of you two doing the Lady Gaga song?" Both
guilty parties nodded yes with a gulp. "Well someone leaked some footage
via cell phone video to you tube and now your video has a million views since
it aired." You could have knocked Sam and Amelia with a feather-a duck
feather. "Since this show has not aired yet I think we have a serious
decision to make. You can let TV5 air your footage from the zoo with a
disclaimer or you can choose to leave the show and put your names out there.
Oh-and by the way-you have also been getting calls from some agents and even
the Lady Gaga tour. What do you think-are you interested?" ...

Ok
ladies I have finally finished my dates-take it away S&T! haha I am excited
to see how this plays out!!

Awww, Mackey.....I think Jesse's beginning to realize what
might have slipped through his fingers and out of his life, isn't he?

THAT Elizabeth, that troublemaker!

Back in the north villa, on the
men's side, Leo and Ross were having a men's heart-to-heart, mano a mano.

That means they were lazing about in
hammocks, having a little brew, and talking sports, surfing, winning a nice
chunk of change from this show, cars, a little about their families and
friends, and a little about the women they liked.

Ross: "Rayne seems like a great
girl, yeah?"

Leo: "Yeah, she's pretty great.
........... Pamela, too, right?"

Ross: "Yeah. ....Here's to a
couple of great girls!" As they lifted their bottles and took a swig.

Leo asked Ross what he would do if
he won the prize at the end of the show. Ross could think of lots of things he
would like to do with the winnings, and the two guys both mentioned some
seriously, and laughed about others, like when Ross said he'd like a small
plane, and Leo asked if he knew how to fly, and Ross said no, but ....
"I'd just like to have one for show, out in back of the house,
y'know!" Or when Leo said he'd like to have one of those parachute drop
carnival rides in HIS backyard, "just to scare the you-know-what out of my
friends when they come over and tell me about some new-fangled techie thing or
hemi-turbo-magnum-pimped-out car they just bought" ~~~ Leo had several
pro-football friends who liked to brag about their money, and who thought they
were WWF-ready, "any time, any place."

Great guffaws of laughter as Ross
and Leo imagined those guys freaking out as the parachute dropped, the looks of
panic in their faces as their skin stretched back and their hair stood on end,
maybe some of them even losing their cookies at the end!

Another toast to macho men, another
swig, more lazing in the hammocks!

Then Ross, in a more serious mode,
got back to talking about Pam.

"I'm not sure I'd want to stay
and try for the money if Pam got eliminated or had to leave for some reason
............. like Jackson! You heard about that, right, man?" (Leo nodded
as he was mid-gulp.) ............. The money wouldn't be worth it if I had to
wait another 3 or 4 weeks to see her again. What if she met some other more
cool dude in those weeks? I mean, she's looking for love, not money. She told
me!"

"There's no cooler dude out
there than you, Ross!" Leo smiled as he lifted his bottle.

"Well, Amen to that!" Ross
said and then finished off his Corona. And then he laughed and shook his head,
then got serious again.

Leo noticed it, and said,
"You're diggin' her, aren't ya?"

Ross just nodded, and with a little
bit of a look of surprise at his own feelings, turned his head toward Leo, and
said, "Yeah, I guess I am! I think about her a lot, when us guys aren't
talking or playing ball or something!"

"No more missing Renee
then?" Leo asked with a sly smile.

"Who's Renee? .............
Come on, whaddya say we go grab a couple boards ...... surf's up!"

Hi Silver. Don't know about our Jesse
yet. He just may find lasting love with Mary-Margaret yet but the guy
can't put one foot in front of the other without stumbling over it for
sure. For a "brain" he's a regular mess up. And
Elizabeth, Wow what a gal, has them all wrapped around her finger (and it's not
her little one either). My Elizabeth is about like the Elizabeth from
Jake's show and the one on Bach Chat if you get what I mean, it is
obvious to me that she is out for herself only; she is running the show.
Yet, she seems to be in love with Jesse Kovac and who wouldn't be!!!
He's a hunk!

Love you bit between Ross and (oh heck I forgot the other
guy’s name, just on the tip of my tongue, I'll remember
it after I post); the hammock, the parachute in the backyard; the
airplane; I can see it now two guys having a couple beers enjoying
themselves talking about girls, cars, other guys, girls, likes, dislikes,
girls, what I have, girls, what you have, girls, what I'd like to have, girls,
what I'd like for you to have, girls; you know all that guy talk. I loved
the scene, it was like I was eavesdropping.

Later,
Silver. Lubs Mackey

In the beautiful city of San Diego
there is a prowler on the loose. He's mad; he's crazy, and he's fit to
kill. "She thought she was clever; she thought I wouldn't find her
didn't she, well Miss black haired hussy, I've found you finally and you're not
going to like what I have planned for you, no sir, I'm coming for you, watch
out for me! "

Sarah is in her room getting ready
for a nice nap; she feels safe and she's in love with a wonderful guy.
"I hope he feels the same for me as I do him" she tells the single
red rose she's holding. Please don't let him feel sorry for me and feels
he must protect me, please let him feel the same way I do." She
remembers that before all this happened, she was a teacher, loved her job,
loved her new town and her neighbors, didn't have a boyfriend, had been on a
few dates, but nothing serious, loved her kids, was looking forward to one day
falling in love, getting married and having three or four children, two of each
would be nice; she had even thought of a name for a little girl if she had one;
Grayson Rose; she also loved the name Amy; and little boy, Aiden would be nice,
Mike sounded great, and James was a strong name for a little guy; now she had
to find that special someone. "Oh my goodness, I think I have found
him and his name is Steve; oh that would be a nice name for a little boy
too.

Mackey,

Love your side stories, girl! You really know how to keep
things hopping!

Jesse and Elizabeth on the Bachelor Pad...she is kind of
suspicious, isn't she?

When you wrote about an Elizabeth character, she is exactly
who I thought of...someone who could be that manipulative and greedy.

I hope M and Jesse find their way back to one another, and
soon!

Nite, Nite, Mackey and all your little ones!

On Monday Night, the Bachelors and Bachelorettes poured into the Clubhouse for the Rose Ceremony Cocktail Party, excited for the extra time to mingle and nervous in case there was some kind of an unexpected twist. Most felt pretty “safe,” since word had gotten out that a number of the cast had decided it was time to leave. Chris welcomed them, “Good Evening. As usual, I have an announcement. Tonight, because Jackson had to leave for a family emergency, only 7 of you will be leaving. The departing Bachelors and Bachelorettes will be departing for a 10-day trip to Hawaii.” That got the crowd oohing and aahing! So, if you feel that it is your time to leave the show and would like to take us up on that Hawaiian Vacation, please come and see me in the Library before the evening ends.” The men and women started circulating, making visits to the bar, saying “Hello,” as they ran into new friends who were beginning to feel like old friends.

Chris did not have to wait long in the Library. In fact, volunteers came in so quickly, he chuckled with the passing thought that they should install a revolving door. Spin and Marty came first. “There’s no question, we love each other, Chris.” “We know we want to get married and we’ve decided not to wait.” “In fact, we want to go to Hawaii and get married there.” “Please put us on the list for Hawaii.” Chris congratulated them and assured them they would be going to Hawaii to make their dreams come true.

No sooner had Spin and Marty left than Michelle and the “new and improved” Johnny popped in. “Hey, Chris! We’ve had a great time here, but we know we’ve found something really special, so we don’t need to be here any longer.” “Hawaii sounds like a great place to have some alone time together and make some future plans.” Chris said he was happy for them and told them they were sure making his job easier.

Chris was most surprised to see Sam and Amelia. He had figured them for long-timers on the show. “Chris, this has been great.” “We’ve loved being a part of Bachelor Survivor!” “Amelia is the best!” Sam said, hugging her at his side. “I can’t believe I found my perfect match on a Reality TV show.” “Or, that we came out of the limos that first night at the same time! We’re Number 1, as Sam put it!” “We’re going to start a dance studio together, right after that trip to Hawaii!” Chris laughed with the attractive, charming couple who went through life with the charisma and zest of permanent cheerleaders. He had no qualms that they had each found a perfect match. “Good luck, you two,” he said, as they waved and left the Library.

A few minutes later, Pamela and Ross walked into the Library. You’ve got to be kidding me!
Thought Chris. “Hi Chris,” said Ross. “Are we too late to take you up on that deal?” “We really want that trip to Hawaii!” Pamela said, obviously excited. “I’ve always wanted to go there.” “We want to check out the surf, big time.” Ross added. “And learn about the culture, too!” Pam threw in. Chris knew he didn’t need any more volunteers, but he had an OK from Fleiss to let as many go as wanted. “Actually, you two are just making the cut-off. Congratulations, you’re going to Hawaii!”

Wow, thought Chris, that only took a half an hour. He already knew who the seventh and final person who was leaving was.

Now, Chris picked up the phone to call Fleiss. “Well, we got the seven we planned on and two more decided to jump ship.”

“No problem,” Fleiss said. “It’s a trade off in expenses – keep two people here another week, maybe even two or three – or let them go to Hawaii? We have the tickets and the hotel rooms. We’ll cut two crew people from the mainland side and pick up two in Hawaii. Consider it done!”

“Thanks!” said Chris.

Emily was thrilled to see Max across the room at the Cocktail Party. He was looking a little lost, but fortunately some of the guys who had gone to the Olympic Center had recognized him and stopped to say hello. Emily wore a white dress that was covered with black lace. It had a well-tailored bodice with a scoop neck, a waist-cinching black satin cummerbund and a full skirt. Her honey-blonde hair was arranged in a modern French twist and she looked like a throw-back to the heyday of Audrey Hepburn. Max turned and saw her coming towards him. He hadn’t known what to wear, so he had on a black suit with a white shirt and a red tie. “You sure clean up well,” he said, with his deep blue eyes assuring her it was a compliment of the highest sort. “You do, too,” Emily said. She led Max out to the porch where the two had a lengthy, serious discussion.

The other couples were happy to stay put in San Diego and continue with the Bachelor Survivor experience. They made the most of this weekly time together, reporting on happenings at the other Villa . . . “You should have seen our Talent show!” . . . “Cliff is a Beach Volleyball animal!” . . . “No one found the Hidden Immunity Idol, at least as far as we know” . . . “Come here, you beautiful thing! I need a kiss!” . . . some couples walked down to the beach . . . others hung out with friends by the pool . . . some took advantage of more private areas of the porch for some cuddle time . . . until a bell rang at 11PM, summoning everyone back to the Clubhouse proper. When the troops had been rounded up, Chris came out of the Library with Emily and Max.

“Well, it’s been quite an evening,” said Chris. “I’m happy to tell all of you that we won’t need to distribute roses tonight. We will actually have 9 people leaving us at their own request. Emily,” he put an arm around Emily’s shoulder, “will be going to Hawaii with Max. Most of the men have had the pleasure of meeting Max when Emily took them to the U.S. Olympic Training Center. She went on that date to see if she had a connection with any of the Bachelors and found she had a real connection with Max! They have decided to take ABC up on a trip to Hawaii and so, Emily will be leaving us tonight.” While Emily would be missed the crowd was happy for her and voiced their pleasure. “Way to go, Emily!” “Treat her good, Max!”

Chris then continued. “Spin and Marty, come on up here.” The couple joined Chris. “Spin, do you want to tell them the news?” Spin looked like he was bursting with happiness, “OK, thanks Chris. Hey, guys, Marty and I are getting married!” The crowd clapped and cheered. “We’ve decided there’s no reason to wait, so we’ll be getting married in Hawaii!” Marty added, “Amelia and Sam have agreed to be our Maid of Honor and Best Man.” Sam and Amelia joined the others in front. “Yep!” said Sam. “Amelia and I are leaving, too! We’ve decided to start a dance studio together.” “All right!” “No way!” “I sure didn’t think they were ready to leave yet!” . . . plus a mixture of applause, came from the crowd.

“In addition,” Chris said, “Two more couples have decided to take us up on the trip to Hawaii . . . Johnny and Michelle . . . Ross and Pamela . . . come up here and join us!” The 9 departing Bachelors and Bachelorettes stood before their friends and received a huge round of applause, followed by hugs and kisses and goodbyes, and a rush out the door to get to the airport.

Suddenly the room seems a lot less crowded. Many realized they had lost a roommate or two. As the group of Bachelors and Bachelorettes looked around them, it was apparent that their numbers were dwindling. Chris raised his glass for a toast, “To those of you who have outlasted the rest, May the time to come be the best!”

Following his toast, Chris Harrison’s voice took on a solemn tone, “This week, the Challenges will intensify. Search high and low for a Hidden Immunity Idol because it may
be your lifeline in this game.” The Bachelors and Bachelorettes exchanged ooks of concern. Chris advised, “Look around at your competition. Who do you trust? Who do you think should be the next to go?“ Alarm began to spread around the formerly content group of men and women. "You were all told to pack today because tonight, you will be split into two tribes. One will reside at the South Villa (formerly the Women’s) and the other at the North Villa (formerly the Men’s). A leader for each tribe has been randomly selected. Charlie, you will be the leader of the Tribe at the South Villa. Toni, you will be the leader of the Tribe at the North Villa. Once you are settled in, your first job will be to pick a name for your Tribe. Charlie and Toni, you will now pick your tribes school yard fashion.”

After the choosing was done, Charlie headed to the South Villa with: Carrie (of course), Mehreen, Bill, Faith, Greg, Jennarosa, Troy, Penina, Corey, Lindsey, and Cliff. Toni headed to the North Villa with Brian (also a “no brainer”), Renee, Martin, Kathleen, Brad, M, Mimi, Bryanne, Will, Rayne, Steve, and Leo. Sarah would be joining this group under Brian’s protection.

Short order was made of room assignments with men taking now vacated rooms in the South Villa and women doing the same in the North Villa. With the emotional toll of so many leaving and the move itself, everyone was exhausted and decided to go to sleep and worry about the Tribal name and the Hidden Immunity Idol in the morning.

At 3AM, as secretly planned, Charlie and Carrie began searching the South Villa for the Hidden Immunity Idol. Chris had said, “Search high and low.” Instinct led the two Survivors to the living room. They looked around the space. Charlie took in the wooden beams close to the ceiling. “I’ll bet it’s up there,” he said. Carrie nodded. “That would be “high.” I’m going to look low.” Moving around the room, Charlie peered up at the beams, looking for an object lurking in the shadows, from various angles and perspectives. Meanwhile, Carrie started looking under couches, tables, and at the fireplace. Thinking he saw something, Charlie raided the kitchen for a flashlight and a ball of string. The beam of the flashlight lit upon a lump lying in the corner of one of the beams. “Carrie, come here,” Charlie whispered. He pointed to the lump. “Use that pitching arm of yours to knock that off the beam,” he said, handing Carrie the ball of string. “I’ll try to catch it.” Carrie took the string and waited for Charlie to position himself in a strategic spot on the other side of the beam. When he was in place, Carrie drew her arm back, took aim, and in one clean shot, knocked the object off the beam. Charlie was ready and with cat-like reflexes caught the package in one hand and the ball of string in the other.

After a little snoopy dance and hugging each other with joy over finding still another Hidden Immunity Idol, Charlie went to the kitchen to put away the flashlight and the string, while Carrie continued her search for something “low.” She got down on her hands and knees by the fireplace, running her finger around the stones to be sure there wasn’t a loose one. She had her nose near the hearth and looked to her left and she saw it! Attached to the back of the decorative fireplace tool set (that was there just for looks, since it was a gas fireplace) was another Hidden Immunity Idol! She reached over to detach it and was sitting on the hearth when Charlie came back from the kitchen, holding the Idol in her hand.

“Oh my goodness!” whispered Charlie. “What are the odds of that? Six out of six?” He pulled Carrie up to her feet and started to kiss his clever beauty. They moved to the couch, hiding the Idols behind them and continued their kisses, which were a good cover, if anyone came in looking for a mid-night snack. A few minutes later, Charlie realized he needed to mix business with pleasure. “You realize that means there should be two Hidden Immunity Idols at the other Villa, don’t you?” Carrie nodded, “That’s OK. We have enough.” “Also, as the leader of this Villa, it may come to the point that I’ll have to use an Idol to save someone else.” Carrie nodded. “Are you OK with that?” he asked. Carrie nodded again, with approval in her eyes. “I was already thinking that and I love that we think so much alike.” “Me, too!” Charlie said, kissing Carrie again. “Now, we need to get to bed!” The couple rose. Each tucked an Immunity Idol into their pajamas. They shared another hug and kiss, said “Good Night,” and headed back to their different bedrooms in different wings, both so glad they were now in the same house and would have so much more time together.

After the full night at the Rose Ceremony and the subsequent moves by many to new housing, the Bachelors and Bachelorettes were relieved to learn that Tuesday was a day of rest. They could name their tribes, look for those Hidden Immunity Idols, adjust to coed living, hang out with their honeys, and relax. Of course they also knew that they had a Challenge looming over their heads on Wednesday.

Sounds good, Silver! Yes, the plot is thickening! Enjoy that time with your daughter! Lubs, S&T

Late on Tuesday morning in the South Villa, Charlie called a meeting in the living room after everyone had had breakfast. “OK, so we need to name our tribe. Does anyone have any ideas?” The question was met by some furrowed brows and some blank faces. “Let’s just think for five minutes and see what we come up with.” Charlie suggested. Midway through the five minutes, Cliff started humming the Final Jeopardy tune and everyone laughed. “Hey,” said Troy. “That’s not a bad idea. How about calling our tribe, Jeopardy?” “I
like that!” said Faith. “I do, too,” said several others. “Anyone have a different idea?” asked Charlie. No one had anything they felt was a better name. “OK, Jeopardy, it is!” said Charlie. “The name fits pretty well, since we all are in Jeopardy on Bachelor Survivor and we’d like to put the other tribe in Jeopardy, too.” With that important decision made, members of the Jeopardy Tribe talked about what a strong team they were and how they just needed to find those Hidden Immunity Idols. When the meeting was over they set off to find the Idols, sun by the pool, take a walk by the beach, spend some time with that special someone, etc.
