DAY 43

Day 43
(June 5)
Episode 7


This morning I drew Berkano;  the white lady of the forest, growth renewal, vitality and a culmination of that which has gone before.  Today is the last day of this episode.

I asked the Norns to reveal to me, with a one rune draw who will be eliminated today.  They showed me Ingwaz, Freyr, Frey.  definitely male energy, so it is between CJ and Austin.  Of these two the most Vanic, the most like Freyr I would say is Austin.  So, that is my interpretation; Austin will be going home today.

1807 - 6:07 pm  -  The runes, and my interpretation of them were correct.  Austin went home, losing in one of those memory games.  I will miss him.  I really enjoyed getting to know Austin on this adventure, and he wasn't anything like I expected him to be.  He's a down to earth, good guy.

Tomorrow Amy and I have to do a press conference at 0845, then at 4:00 we all go to a TV Norge party of some kind.  I think they chose Amy and I because, well, visually we stand out the most; Amy being black and me, well...being me.  Thursday will be a day off, then Friday we leave but we are only driving 90 minutes to our next location.  It could be the farming episode!!  Oh, I really hope it is, I am ready to get dirty doing some farm work.

CJ won the spirit award, I believe it is the last one, because after episode 8 there are no more teams.  He deserves it, he has grown a lot on this adventure I think.  It guarantees him a spot in the semi finals.  The way I understand it, episode 9 is the semi finals, and the final episode are the finals.

Man...I really, really want to make it to the last episode.  And then I want to win!!

The runes are powerful, and they have been very accurate.  Thursday I may delve a little deeper and ask who will go home in the next episode, still thinking about it.

Well that wraps up episode 7, and it has been a blast...really fun.  Meeting the Swedes and getting to know Oslo a little better, the pie war, it was all great.  It was also nice to have won so decisively both times and not be in the elimination.  Hopefully the next episode will be just as good.
