I'm like please don't let her win ! hah jk but really i did do that! You guys played an unbelievable game, and were strong since the first mission. You should be extremely proud, and not bad about it at all. The last challenge is all about fate. Out of how many people that auditioned, you were the final TWO TEAMS! CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL:)

I feel so Blessed

2008-03-09T10:31:39-04:00

I just want to say thank you to the staff of the discovery website to allow me to blog, and have a blog for the first time. I thought this was such a creative and awesome idea. I loved how we were able to express our opinions plus interact with fellow fans, and answer any questions they may of had. I feel extremly blessed to be able to contribute more to this season, I feel so gratful for that honor. If endurance fiji is the last season, then I feel even more blessed to be part of such an amazing show which has been part of my life since I was 11 years old. Thank you all, thank you endurance it is a shame it ends this way, but as one of my favorite quotes says, "don't cry because it is over, but smile because it happened", and I am so greatful that endurance did happen, and was apart of all of our lives, good bye everyone. - Andres

Final Countdown

2008-03-09T10:30:06-04:00

Ok about an hour till the season finale of endurance fiji!!!!

This has been one crazy season. From having 16 people travel to the coolest location on endurance ever! Alliances were quickly formed by many while on the boat to the island. I was thinnking with 16 we would just have 8 teams, and no rts, unfourtunitly I was wrong, and Becca, Mj, Cinniman and myself had to leave the most amazing expereince ever!

As usual drama occured caused by partner/colors. With both Becca and I eliminated in the rts, Briana and Kyle didn't have their original partners and tension between them was obvious throughout the island. They would later become the yellow team. The green and orange team formed an allience. And pulled the red team in whith them. Together those 3 teams were able to take out the yellow and purple team who they saw as their biggest threats to their allience.

In the final 4 The red team discoved that they were next on the chopping block and teamed up together with the blue team to break up the orange/green allience. And with the aid of the magic box which the green team had previously decived their peers on what it truely was, they were able to send the orange team home. Just reciently we saw luck play a crucial part in the game, as the red team had to draw 2 colors to go up to temple from a bag, which ended up being the end for them. We are now left with the green team, who dominated in the game in many of the challenges, obtaining the magic box, being vote don by the viewers to go to fiji, and having a strong alliance to orange to the end. They are in the final 2 with the blue team. An underdog team who didn't crate any enemys, survived 2 temples, and was able to maintain their friendships with everyone by obtaining their fallen friends' pieces. I don't think their is a question on anyones mind that these 2 have done a great job playing the game, they both deserve the title, they just did amazing! and I can't wait to see who gets crowned Endurance Fiji Champions!

Hey everyone!
Last episode was definitely a roller coaster of emotions and I didn’t think that it was going to hit so close to home while watching it. It was pretty obvious to see how much Jon and I wanted to be there. I just wanted to share to everyone how unbelievable the experience was and it was so hard for everyone to have to leave such an amazing place and such incredible people. Being on Endurance has really taught me a lot and you really get to figure out who you are as a person. It was such a horrible feeling to just reach into that basket and pull out a blue nut. It was just torture to have to basically choose someone’s fate on staying in the game. I felt horrible when Jon picked the one red nut and I couldn’t imagine having to pick my own fate when the probability of going to the temple was 1 in 16. I was not mad at Jon at all though because it was completely out of his control. Jon and I both agree that at least we left the island with pride and dignity because we sent ourselves to the temple instead of another team sending us and we also liked our way of playing the game (being honest). All I have to say is thank God for getting into that fight because it only brought us 100 percent closer and we had the most amazing team work after that. I honestly couldn’t have had a better partner and he was absolutely amazing. When we lost at the temple I wasn’t only crying because our time there was over, but because I thought Jon one hundred percent deserved to go back and I wanted us to win so badly. His perseverance and determination was beyond anyone I know.
The bonds and friendships I have made with everyone were amazing and I am happy for blue and green to make it to the final two. I know I got into many fights on the island (and some of them were wrong on my behalf lol) but I learned from them and I have go grudges against any contestant.
To the 16 kids that made it on the show: I love you all so so so much and I am incredibly happy to have met you all. Watching the show brings back so many memories (the good and the ugly) and I am going to cherish the good ones forever. I had a blast and I have truly learned so many things from all of you. None of you guys can ever be replaced. It never ceases to amaze me how 16 totally different kids can become so close in such a short period of time. I LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL!!!!!!!
To the fans: I know that some of you may or may not be very fond of me and I respect your opinions lol but I hope you were able to see how much the contestants mean to me, how difficult and fun of times everyone had together, and enjoy watching this season! I could not possibly describe how amazing this experience was and it was so cool to be on my favorite t.v. show. To everyone who loves the show as much as I do - try out because honestly it was the best thing I have ever done. xoxo

The Best Of Both Worlds

2008-02-26T11:06:54-05:00

I just wanted to say to all the fans of the show, that I am sorry if my responses to my blog seem a bit harsh. I am being just 100% honest on my opinions and I hope ya'll can respect that even if you disagree with what I have to say. And see my point of view and the perspectives of the people who I like and respect on the show.

What I think is really cool though is how both Becca and I are blogging. And even though she is one of my great friends from Fiji and thinks that she is one tight, I like how we have different points of view on the game. SO hopefully if you disagree with me you will agree with what she is saying and vice versa with if you disagree with her, then you would most likely agree with what I have to say.

But just a fair warning to ya'll I just want to let ya'll know if ya'll disagree with what I have to say I don't take it personal, I hope ya'll don't take it personal and see the perspectives I am trying to show you when defending some of the contestants. And I hope that ya'll can respect how even with the disagree point of views we may have that we still try our best to get online and express our feelings to the whole nation.

Noooo Not the Great Kauhuna

2008-02-24T22:37:36-05:00

Well that was a pretty sad episode last night ya'll. Hannah and Jon left Fiji :( They are both amazing people who I really enjoyed out there on the island. And I think what was very refreshing to everyone was that they were both so raw and real. Hannah would go right up to someone and tell them how she felt. She wasn't fake, she was herself. Jon was so nice and such a sincere guy. It was a shame that they left the way they did. They are a perfect example of people who may have had some difficulty while they were by their shelter, but when it was time to get it done during the challenges they were able to work together. I didn't like that twist. Jon and Hannah proved they deserved that spot in the finals. SO it was hard for me to see them loose by random drawing just as the game used to be played on Moolah Beach. This is Endurance, they proved they had endurance. They will be missed on the show I am sure because I already miss not seeing them on tv every saturday. :( - Andres

The Strength of Jon!!!!!

2008-02-17T22:49:09-05:00

Oh wow was that not the best episode in endurance history or what!!!!! It was exciting to see Blue and Red team up together to challenge the Orange/Green alliance. And to see a power switch was really exciting. Jon did awesome being one of the few endurance players to overcome the sahmadi. Great job Jonathan!!!! And for a while I was worried that the magic box would end up as an unused twist like the triangle of immunity on endurance 5. So it was cool to see it get used. But man I was hard to see the green/orange get sent to temple. All 4 of them are awesome friends of mine. Lauren and Caleb played one of the best games I think. And they left with class. I am curious to see who they will leave their pieces too. Whoever gets them will have a big lead for the final temple mission. I am leaning towards them giving it to Jon and Hannah since Caleb seemed hurt that Will kept the magic box a secret from him. But who knows it could also be given to green. The end is comming near, and it has been one of the most intenese seasons yet, can't wait to see what happenes next...

Isn't it ironic, how the teams that never won in Endurance history, are the first three to go. Yellow, purple, and orange. I was happy for blue, like very happy they won something, so now they're not weak right? So now they would make good champions? Or when Jonathan said he could win without Hannah, and he did. I guess Hannah can't ever blame him for losing missions. lol. But it doesn't matter., because they made final three. I guess Caleb got eliminated on his birthday:[ he seemed very funny in that episode, i laughed. (mermaid, and JD is ripped). I thought orange was going to win, i really did, but i guess everything happens for a reason.

ilmm.

Jonathan is a Competitor

2008-02-09T22:40:15-05:00

Jonathan is a competitor, not mean,not abrupt, but simply he wanted to win. I got mad when it looked like everyone was targeting him. He was not rude to Hannah, he was talking to her and giving his opinion, i think Hannah was just annoyed because she wasn't winning and took it out on him. It seems like the girls are running this game, just because they are more opinionated, and out spoken.

It is clear green is a very strong team. Like Leslie said Will has never yelled at her. I really do think they would make great champions if they won, and right now i think they deserve it the most. And it was super cute when they were trying to get the piece on the poll:]

Also a lot of people say blue shouldn't win because they never won anything. well red only won one challenge and there considered STRONG?. So if blue wins ONE CHALLENGE then they would be good champions, is that what people are saying? I think they say this because blue isn't very dramatic, and doesn't get a lot of camera time. But i didn't know dramatic was an endurance piece. Am i right?

A piece of endurance is not winning. But a piece of endurance is: teamwork. And Ben saw Jordyn having trouble getting the ball. and a GOOD PARTNER PORTRAYING TEAMWORK, he didn't yell at Jordyn, but you could see him running back with the ball. It is obvious that he went out there and helped her out. Teamwork is having someone, help you put the endurance piece on the poll, and teamwork is encouraging there partner even if they mess up. Which green portrayed.

And why did JD assume that Hannah was sitting out of the temple mission?

hmm, comments?!
