Finally, we are in winner class and I'm lying down on the couch across from Noah, Alejandro, Owen, and Izzy's seats. We are all enjoying relaxing with cucumbers in our eyes. Alejandro gives a content sigh.
"Winning really is everything," Tyler says.
"Says the guy who frenched a cod," Noah says making me chuckle.
"And P.S. it was a tie." D.J. points out.
I hear slurping and then Owen burps so I'm assuming he is eating the cucumber. "Ugh! It's a facial, not a fruit plate." Noah complains.
"Oh, Noah. Don't you see? It's both." Owen says.
"Nope. No, it is not because cucumbers are not fruit." I say to Noah and Owen.
"Owen, these chairs are spring-loaded. Watch this!" Izzy says.
"Why is it always the Kiwis?!" Owen groans. I take the cucumbers off my eyes and wince at how hard Izz most likely hit him and I get him an icepack.
I hand him the ice pack and he says to me and Noah, "I've made up my mind. I'm gonna break up with Izzy once and for all."
"Finally," Noah says and I smack his arm lightly.
"I still like her, but she's so..." Owen starts.
"Nutty...As a 10-ton bag of pecans smothered in peanut butter encased in a cashew the size of China?" Noah finishes for him making me smack his arm. I look over at Izzy hanging upside down gnawing on an oxygen bag.
"Taste like shoe polish." She laughs and then continues gnawing.
"Aw, she's happy," Owen says and eats the cucumbers off Noah's face. I smile at Izzy.
"Hey, Izz. Doesn't that hurt your ankles?" I ask her.
"No," she says, and we both laugh. Chris walks past and Alejandro jumps up to talk to him.
"Uh, D.J. is the only remaining member of team victory, but we're prepared to welcome him as a full-time member of our team if you'll allow it," Alejandro says.
"Looking for a numbers advantage over team Amazon, Eh? No dice." Chris responds and I sit on the arm of Noah's chair watching the interaction.
"What if D.J. chooses to swap teams like Sierra and Izzy did in Egypt?"
"No more swaps, and that's final," Chris says shutting Alejandro down. D.J. walks up.
"It's okay. I'll survive. My curse is gone thanks to Irene. I even won the last challenge." D.J. says.
Tyler pops over the seat, "Uh, tied."
"Exactly! If we keep it up, we might make it all the way to the finale together." D.J. says excited.
"I would love to see that," Alejandro says and I feel a little bad for D.J.
I look at Noah and say, "You do know I'm a little nutty myself."
He looks over at me and smiles and rolls his eyes, "You're not hit me in the kiwis on a daily basis nutty." He then puts his arm around my waist as I continue to sit on the arm of his chair. I start talking to Izzy.
Over the PA, "Attention, passengers...AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!" The plane starts plummeting. Everyone starts screaming and Izzy jumps out of the plane taking Owen with her. Noah pulls me off the side of his chair and to him and holds on to me and the chair for dear life. Finally, we crashed, and we all evacuated the plane. "Two airports on an island the size of a postage stamp, and he misses both, but somehow, it's my fault."
