It started with a grueling seven-hour journey along the unpaved, desolate terrain of Texas. Animals were abundant as the sixteen-crate transport vehicle rumbled closer to its final destination in the wild Texan countryside. As the vehicle came to a stop and the flyball judge ordered the Survivors out of their crates, the Survivors realized they were in for the adventure of a lifetime.

    As the Charging Eagles tribe made their way through the brush, they came upon a well filled with contaminated water that would need to be boiled. Disorganized, the tribe focused on where to build their shelter. "It wasn't five minutes; there was six ideas on how to do everything," laughed Sydney, the Australian Cattle Dog. Jake, a respected Defender in his hometown, thought he knew the best way to build the shelter. "Since I have to defend it, they should all just shut up and let me decide how to build it."

    It didn't take much time for the alliances to start within Totally Hot. Paranoia ran deep as the tribe set up their camp. Members were quick to break away from each other while whispers abounded. It all ended with a mutual agreement that nobody trusted anybody else, and all alliances would wait until camp was set up. Upon seeing a naked Rhino, Xena, the Jack Russel Terrier Warrior Princess, commented, "This is off to an interesting start."

    The two tribes met host Dillon at the Reward Challenge site, called Buffalo Swamp, where he explained the rules of "Frisbee Fetch-off": Each tribe has to catch 5 Frisbees and return them to their home base. Only 1 team member can fetch at a time. CE started off to a big lead with Bella and Ruby each making their first catch. TH had a difficult start with the 3 Jacks, Xena, Diva and Kasey each forgetting the Frisbees and going after rodents instead. In the end TH couldn't make up the lead, and Charging Eagles won the 1st reward challenge.

    CE celebrated when discovering the first reward was Scoopies poop bags! These handy bags shaped like mitts were just what they needed to keep their camp clean. TH had to go home empty handed to a dirty camp site. Congratulations CE! Each club entering will enjoy a supply of Scoopies in their welcome kits!

    At the end of the day, Dillon ordered each team to vote off their first member. Back at the Charging Eagles camp, the tribe enjoyed their Scoopies and cleaned up the camp, eager to do something to keep their minds off the big decision to come. At the Totally Hot camp, Diva announced to the tribe that she should win because she was the hottest, and the rest should bow to her.

    In a heart breaking tribal council, Diva and Jake were the first dogs voted off Texas Flyball Survivor. Jake responded with snarls and growls, while Diva simply walked away with her nose in the air. "They are all just a bunch of bitches," said Diva, "and they should feel like better dogs just to have the opportunity to meet me." Jake responded with "Boy I didn't see that coming. They are just pawns in Ruby's game. God help them all."

Sunshine Rain's Analysis:
"You might think Diva was too much of a Diva for this game, but the real reason she was voted off was that three Jacks is three too many. Rumor has is that Ruby and Jake had a "disagreement" and Ruby may have swung the vote. Bad move for Jake, don't mess with Rubes. The next episode should be very interesting! I'm hungry, got any treats?"
