DAY 41
(June 3)
Episode 7

This morning I drew Tiwaz...Hail Tyr!  I can not think of a better rune to start this day with; this day of the second team challenge.  It will be a good day.

I am really glad everyone made it home safely last night.

Whatever the challenge is today, it is supposed to be messy.  They want us to bring an entire change of clothes.

As I am writing this it is now 7:00 pm or 1900, we finally made it back to our very nice apartment on Odin's Gate (Odin's Street).  It was an eventful day to say the least.  It all started at 0800 with them filming us waking up.  Then they took us to an RV/Campground, where we waited around forever...literally, hours.  Eventually we were taken to Henriette and introduced to the second team challenge.

As we approached we saw a roped off area, at either end was a table, and the tables were loaded with pies, which were loaded with whipped cream.  Henriette was standing behind one table and there were six Swedes standing with her in yellow and blue Sweden shirts.  In didn't take a genius to figure out that we were going to be throwing pies.

There were two teams of Swedes; 3 in each.  We, the red team went first playing one Swedish team, then the blue team played the other Swedish team.  Then we played the Swedish team we did not play the first time, and then finally we played the blue team.  So we and the blue team each played three matches total.

The rules were pretty simple; how many pies can you make hit your opponent?  They had several people on the sidelines counting each hit as it happened.  We were not allowed to watch the other teams matches.

The importance of the competition was put on "beating the Swedes".  Whichever team beat the Swedes most would win.  If we tied, then it would come down to who won between the red and blue match.

The whole thing was extremely messy, and extremely fun.  Since we couldn't watch we had no idea how the other team was doing, but we felt like we did very well, I was also confident because I had drawn Tiwaz this morning.

In the end it turned out that we won all three matches.  Blue team had one draw and two losses...we were the clear victors.  So, that means I am on to episode 8, and either Austin, Amy, or CJ will have to go home.  We will have half the people we started with, with only three episodes remaining.  Hail Freya!  Hail Tyr!  Hail Thor!

What a life I have!!
