"Now leave me alone so that my anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them." - Exodus 32:10a

Another Majide Wednesday and another Red Robot exit. This week, Jamie returns to the snake pit comprised of Justin and I after defeating Drew in the raw squid challenge. The old saying "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned" can be inserted here perfectly. I wanted to just shake her and yell "This is a game! This is a game! This is a game!" Her "Drew blinders" were on though, and I guess the thought of sleeping in the Majide bed alone was too much for her to take. I thought Jamie was awesome, fun, and entertaining up until this point in the game. Now things were just tense. This is also about the time where Justin proclaims himself to be the "puppet master", so hopefully that makes him happy (I wrote something else here originally, but I really am a nice person so I didn't post it.).

The first game of this episode involves bobbing for raw fish and squid. It was so cold and miserable, and I was the only RR able to get a fish. One wasn't enough for us though, as the Green Tigers got 3. The second game, "fan favorite" Baby Go Boom Boom involved a whole lot of milk, giant babies (us), and me wearing a grandma suit. This was actually so much fun to play. I really enjoyed this game. The RR's do horribly, as usual, but at least we had a blast getting a third of the milk the Green Tigers do. Justin did so well on our team - I was really impressed. I made the comment about this game being like the drunk experience, and that's probably why Justin did so well. This was just a "been there, done that" for him.

So the punishment and reward both involve sumos, which really couldn't be more boring in my opinion. Either way, watching obese people rub up against each other and grunt isn't my idea of a good time (no offense Bobaloo.) The punishment was rephrehensible and I cannot remember a time when I have been so angry. That sumo in the show was really naked - it wasn't just an editing trick. He came in and was just like "shower time." I hope his parents are proud. While it was supposedly an honor to set foot into the place, I found cleaning the subway station to be more fulfilling. I hope Drew was laughing his head off watching tonight because had I been eliminated last week, you better believe I would have been relieved not to have taken part in such a terrible punishment.

So then the elimination challenge comes, and for some reason Justin thinks he is a mastermind for letting Jamie decide the outcome. I don't know, help me out with that logic. So Jamie thinks I will be easier to beat as I am a librarian. Let me set the record straight. I am a YOUNG ADULT LIBRARIAN. Librarians in all shapes and forms rock, but a YOUNG ADULT LIBRARIAN is different. We're in touch with youth. Many of us are active, athletic, and know what having a good time is like. We have to know what teens are into to do our job well. This involves staying very active. We're perfect candidates for Majide, and you challenge one of us to a fight, we're going to fight like heck to send your pretty little behind home. That said, she chooses me and off we go to the throw-a-ball-into-the-dragon-nose game.

Basically I get 3 balls into the dragon nose, she gets 0, and it's peace out Jamie. Back to America. Back to Drew. When she left, I really was sad. Before the whole relationship thing, I thought the world of Jamie. And I want to clarify - the relationship thing did not bother me at all as a relationship, but only from a gaming standpoint. Maybe Jamie and Drew weren't Rob and Amber, but I would rather be sending one of them home than sitting on my own return flight thinking "why didn't I see that coming?!" In the end, Jamie wasn't the greatest competitor in challenges, but frankly, there is nobody on earth, including myself, who would be expected to rock these crazy games. Jamie brought a sense of fun and entertainment into the house. She would call me "My Evan" as she thinks I look like Michael Cera from "Superbad." She has an infectious laugh, and a smile that is magazine-cover worthy. I really hope Jamie and Drew work out if it's what's best for them, and then they both will have won something from their time in Japan.

Vote in the poll on the right. Jamie is not there as the poll was made before her departure, but there will be other poll questions in the future that she will be a part of.
