Survivor CH4: Ponderosa 1

(Ponderosa)

A fancy-looking car drove up to what seemed like a small resort somewhere on the island. The back door opened up and Corey stepped out, smiling brightly at the sight.

"Thanks fer the ride, pardner!" Corey said to the driver as she shut the door and watched the car drive away. Corey walked up to the door of the large building and walked inside the house.

"Well, Ah got voted outta the game. Ah guess it had ta happen sooner or later, but Ah'm glad Ah made it this far." Corey admitted. "After Ah got a medical checkup ta see if Ah contacted anythin', Ah got into this car and it drove me here. This huge house is gonna be mah home fer the rest of the competition, so Ah'll just make mahself comfortable."

Corey instantly smelled something good when she entered Ponderosa. She tried to block out the smell for now as she looked around at the huge interior, complete with an upper floor and lounge area on the main level.

"This place is big!" Corey said in awe. "Man, Ah'm gonna like it here."

Following the smell, Corey walked into a big kitchen and saw that there was a large array of food spread out on a big table. Licking her lips, Corey walked over and scanned the display.

"Hmm…What should Ah have first?" Corey asked. She reached for a plate of steaks and grabbed the biggest piece she could see. "It's been a while since Ah had some good food. Ah'll start with this." She said as she grabbed a can of pop from the table and walked back into the lounge area.

"Ah got three days to mahself, and Ah got mixed feelings about that. It's great to get away from the game, but Ah'm gonna git lonely and start talkin' ta mahself." Corey pointed out. "Believe me, mah parents know how strange it sounds when Ah start talkin' ta mahself. Heck, Ah apparently once had an argument with mahself while Ah was sleepin' and Ah didn't notice it."

Corey watched some TV as she ate, going back for seconds (and even thirds) after finishing what was one her plate. "Man. Why does everyone hate that Cowell guy?" She asked herself. "That singer was totally not good. Why the heck is the audience supportin' her?"

Eventually, Corey finished eating. The cowgirl, finally satisfied, stood up and decided to wander around Ponderosa.

"Let's see what they got around here…" Corey mused.

Corey was quick to find the different bedrooms, and it became apparent that several people would have to room together. Needless to say, this pleased Corey.

"Looks like Ah'm gonna git a roommate." Corey said with a grin.

"Ah didn't even bother lookin' in the bedroom with the one bed. Ah mean, Ah think it'd be fun ta room with someone, so Ah just chose a room that had more than one bed in it." Corey shrugged. "Ah don't think the others will disagree with mah reasonin' on that."

Corey sat down on the bed she had chosen for herself and sat in silence, as if wondering what to do next. "Man, Ah sure am gonna git bored." She said. "Ah hope someone gets eliminated soon…But who's gunna go? Ah mean, it's logical that someone strong would go next, but Ah hope mah tribe can pull together some votes and git back on top of things since Ah dunno if Ah wanna vote fer someone from Ferren." She sat back and relaxed, still talking. "And Ah really dunno if Ah wanna spend three days alone with someone like Kendall or Samantha…Erica seems like she'd be nice ta talk to, though. Maybe Ah can get her ta open up some if she comes here. Then there's Riddle…"

"The next contestant can't get here soon enough." The cameraman sighed as Corey continued to talk.
