We started off doing an out-of-sequence shot at 10:00 a.m.. They had us pretend to come into our apartments
for the first time. Then, after that,
they had Austin, Jessica and I go to a coffee shop and talk about how he’s
feeling knowing he’ll be going into his first competition. That turned out to be a pretty funny
sequence, since Jessica and I started joking about how terrible it was that
Austin would be going home after his first elimination challenge. He went along with the joking and we had a really
good tiem, but we were pretty sure that they weren’t going to use that footage,
since Norwegians don’t seem to share the love of sarcasm like we do. Once we were finished there, we headed to a
park on top of the mountain for some hour long interviews!
After our interviews, we thought we were done for the day,
but then our car, which had Johnathan, Alf and myself in it, stopped on the way
back to our apartment at the Holmenkollen Ski Jump, a huge ski jump that sits
up on the mountainside and is one of Norway’s most visited tourist attractions. It was our prize for winning! The scene was amazing with 360o
views over the entire area of Oslo! How
cool! (By the way, after seeing how the
ski jump is, there is no way that I would ever do anything like that! Those ski jumpers are crazy!

Eventually, we got back to our apartments and after a quick break, we ended the evening with Mama Christine and Mama Ane taking us to a nice Italian restaurant. (While there, we started looking for cameras. It was the weirdest thing! The whole place was probably filled with 90% attractive women. We thought it was some kind of practical joke, seeing that we’ve now been away from our women for over 40 days now!) After dinner, we all went back, watched Kill Bill II on TV and then called it a night. It was time to catch up on some sleep, plus Austin, Amy and CJ have an individual challenge tomorrow! Good night! I miss you!

I finally found someone uglier than me!
Johnathan, the troll and I!
Alf looking at home!
I couldn't pull off the look
as well as Alf did.
We found this manequin with leg
warmers and it reminded me of
Mary Caryl, so I needed a photo.
Looking down Holmenkollen!
On top of the ski jump! Incredible, 360 degree views!
A moose/elk statue in the ski jumps museum. I like
how they added the "droppings" to make it more real!
Found this display with my
hometown area of Selbu listed!
Johnathan with the resistance graffiti!
He's in his element and so happy with this!
