If you want some play by play, here's a quick look at the competition.  Immediately after the hot food challenge, contestant Brian Fester made a beeline to the parking lot and blew chunks.  He fled even before he could be voted off.  And he was the first to be voted off.  Second out came Ryan Carter, probably because he showed great promise and was viewed as a threat.  Jennifer Tisdall was given the boot third.  Brenda Jessop of Waterford was our fourth contestant voted out.  That left just Heidi McLeod and Mary Beth Carter left and Heidi won it.  Heidi was also our immunity winner champ winning the 3rd and 4th immunity challenges. Ryan Carter was our first immunity winner and Mary Beth Carter won our second immunity challenge. That's about as much as we can remember.   The morning really flew by but it was a lot of fun.
