| EPISODE 1 - 2 New
Tribes...
Welcome to Texas Summer Survivor for 2005. This year we celebrate
the diversity of Region 5's dogs - different teams, different breeds,
different personalities...
The 18 dogs arrived on the island with great hopes and expectations.
An arrival banquet of Chiplets treats from Durango
Pet Products was set out for the new participants, where
they got a chance to meet and talk to last year's winners and everyone's
favorite supermodel, Sunshine Rain.
Callie was very pleased to meet the
dogs from last year, "Keeper is my idol. I have always tried
to be as poised and beautiful as her since seeing her on last year's
island. She answered all my questions about keeping my coat clean
in this nasty place."
Xena growled at everyone who approached her. Xena spent much of
her earnings settling various lawsuits and perfecting her intimidation
ball shake technique. She has recently worked for the Texas Rangers
coaching players how to deal with the media.
Sunshine Rain entertained the dogs with an elaborate story of millionare
hotel heiress wedding plans, and denied any involvement with 6 time
Tour de France winners, but
quickly changed the subject when asked what happened to Brad Pitt's
marriage. Then she took a nap with Fargo.
Host Dillon announced that it was time to divide the 18 dogs into
2 teams of 9. One by one, the dogs reached into a jar and drew a
dog bone, the Blue bones would go to the Blue camp
and the Green ones would go to the Green camp. All dogs were asked
to show their bones, except Bosley,
who has eaten
his bone. He stuck out his green tongue to show he was on the Green
Tribe. Murphy threw a jab at Doodle
on her way to her camp, "Glad I don't have to be on the same
team as Q-Tip." Spuds
didn't like Murphy's attitude and told her, "Don't under estimate
me... I'm tougher than you think".
At Camp Green, Doodle suggested 'Scratch
'n Sniff' and the sight/scent hounds LOVED it, but he couldn't get
any of the other dogs to agree. After Buster
suggested Furry Animals Stranded Together,
or F.A.S.T. for a tribe name. "I think I'm too handsome
for them - they are jealous because I'm all that and a bag of chips,"
explained Doodle, "Hey can someone
please brush my coat?"
Shiner, however, was angry. "When
Wichita asked me what I wanted to name
the tribe, and I told him, and he just walked away!" When asked
about Shiner's tribe suggestion, Wichita
responded, "He said 'Bite Me'. I didn't think he meant that
as a team name!!"
The Green Team will now be known as F.A.S.T.
(Furry Animals Stranded Together).
Sedona wasn't completely happy with
Sophie napping while everyone else
set up their campsite. "That Sophie
- all she does is sleep all day while we work work work!" Sophie
woke up and found a more comfy sleeping spot in the new shelter.
Back at the Blue camp,Brody
and Maple herded everyone to the campfire
for a tribe meeting. Things seemed to be going much smoother.
Heidi suggested the name 'Fellowship
of the Fur' and the team unanimously agreed it was a great
name. They all dew-claw-swore to behave like a true fellowship and
try to get allong whenever possible.
The Blue Team will now be known as Fellowship
of the Fur.
Meanwhile, Callie and Devo
had an arguement over who got to sleep closer to the campfire, and
Murphy had to break up a play-session
between Paddi and Travis.
"No playing! We have work to do!"
Fargo took a long, deep snooze before dinner, and then went
right to bed.
The next day, the two teams returned to the meeting area. Dillon
agreed that the tribes came up with excellent names, and gave them
their first challenge: Each team will build a raft. They will return
when complete, with their raft, for a race to the next island.
