Sam walked back out to the yard. All I have to do is get through this so I can go back to the camp and get some sleep. Her hands hurt. Her back hurt. Her legs hurt. Hell, there wasn’t a body part that didn’t hurt, but underneath the hurt, she felt strangely good. She’d done a great job today, and no one would be able to take that away from her.
It seemed as if Eddie and the other producers and Robert were finally ready for the “vote off,” as Sam started calling it. She was fairly certain she might be the one going home. There was no telling who else Missy and Courtnee had spewed their story to. If it was Eddie, he might make her go home for violating the rules of the show or something. All she could do was wait along with everyone else. At this point she almost didn’t care. Almost.
Sam watched as Al took his spot next to Robert. He looked good. He looked more rugged now than he had before. Sam figured it was because he’d been outside most of the day and doing all the chores. She really couldn’t see him doing the laundry or mopping the floor, but she’d heard snippets of the other women’s conversations who’d claimed he’d done just that.
Robert was making his speech about what a great job they’d all done that day and how he was impressed with their work ethic. He asked if there were any comments about the day. A few women spoke, but for the most part it seemed they were just as anxious to get this over with as Sam was. Blessedly, even Missy and Courtnee kept their mouths shut. Maybe they figured the less people they tell their lies to, the more likely they’ll get away with it. Sam thought. Finally, Robert was getting to the “vote off.”
“As you know, ladies, one of you must be going home today. We know it’s been a long day and you’re tired. No one wants to leave this beautiful country and miss out on the company of Al, but alas, it must be done.” Sam didn’t think Robert sounded very remorseful.
He continued with his grand speech, “There were many factors that were taken into account on who’d be leaving today. It wasn’t only one thing that sealed her fate, but a multitude of factors. To keep you on your toes, those factors will not be revealed to you. The person who will be leaving today is…” Robert paused to get the most dramatic effect out of his audience… “Katie.”
Sam let out a breath she wasn’t even aware she’d been holding. She’d thought for sure her time was up. Katie cried and hugged some of the other women she’d gotten to know on the show. She walked up to where Al and Robert were standing. Al led her away to the waiting car to say goodbye.
“It’s time to go back to camp, ladies,” Robert told them.
