Better Late than No Show!

Our first night of Temptation started off with a missing player and a late organizer -- and you guys did so well without me, setting up and playing 4 on 4. I'm proud, like a father proud.

The temptation format randomizes each round so you could end up with a different "playmate" each time! Surprisingly, Nic and Mel had the same playmate 3 out of 4 times. You two should think about going to Vegas with those odds! Mike kicked ass for the guys with 10 points! While Lara and Mel cleaned up with 8 & 7 points respectively.

Ya'all said you are in for next week (Canada Day) except for Ross who is finding a sub.

Temptation Victoria Night!

Who needs to watch reality TV when you can live it yourself on Temptation Victoria!! This week we'll try a new format where the partners keep changing and the points really matter. It's our own Temptation Island with a volleyball flair. And it looks like it could be a hot one, so don't forget your water (that means you Rad!).

Similar to last year, all the money ($25 ea) goes back to the players -- no rental fees, no accounting fees, no storage fees! Prizing will be given to the 1st/2nd best girl and guy, 1st/2nd best couple, and other non-skill related payouts on the last night. Which should be 8 weeks or the middle of August. We'll fine tune the day as we get closer.

[fyi for those couples out there, we are not responsible for any quiet rides home at the end of the night!]

First Sixpack of the Year!

Was it a true sixpack or did the ball just knock off Mike's ballcap? I guess we'll never know because he hasn't admited it... yet! What a hot, sunny evening for playing -- a blistering 28 degrees!! The fences were a blessing and a curse (by the way, who the hell puts prickle bushes & thisles along their fence?!? No kids? Ouch.)
Anyhow, some of us had more "rust" to work off than others but we were all fairly close. Stay tuned for next week! It'll be the Survivor / Temptation Island theme. Here is a cut from the tv ad... "Who will play together? Will Ross' success with his new playmate, breakup his long standing partnership? Will he be voted off the courts? Tune in next week."
