Day 04
Day Four was full of surprises!
(good and bad). I was the captain of our scavenger team. I was pleased
about being the leader because (for those of you who don’t
know me) I love taking charge. I comes naturally, you know? Our
team was myself, Jenny, Kyle, and Sheenah. Pretty good I thought.
As it turned out, it was. Everyone played a part in being a leader.
Jenny was really intense, maybe even too intense! Kyle had a great
eye (especially for the license plates). Sheenah was helpful too.
Sheenah’s uncle drove us around for the first bit, that really
helped. We all thought we were ahead of everyone else, so during
the second half, we were more laid back.
Bad idea. As it turned out,
we lost the immunity. I wanted to work really hard and get everything,
but the majority of my team was positive we were going to win.
So now for the exciting part.
After lunch we were walking down one of the busy streets and Kyle
crossed the crosswalk on a yellow light. This trashy hick guy started
freaking out at him! We thought he was overreacting big time, but
he kept on yelling. We played it off like no big deal, which was
not what he wanted to hear! He pulled up 2 minutes later and screeched
his car to a halt in the middle of the road, got out, and chased
after us! He got back in, and then caught up with us down the road
again with friends threatening to beat us up! I was so afraid he
was going to pull a gun on us!
Then, this guy pulled up to
us and asked what was going on. He said he saw us and those creepy
guys shoving Kyle and was going to get out and jump in! Isn’t
that so cool of him?! Anyways, he drove us downtown, and was really
nice about everything. Two complete extremes, eh?!
My advice for today is if you
get yourself into a dangerous situation, know that just around the
corner there’s someone who will help. Don’t be disheartened,
keep your hopes up and don’t be afraid to ask for help! It
probably saved our lives!
Ciao Canada!

Day 03
Bungeeeeeeee!
Omg, if you haven’t done
it, you’ve got to try it! (unless you’re afraid of heights!)
I absolutely love thrill rides, so bungee was a nice addition to
my favorites! I was actually more nervous about the bull riding
that morning. I have the worst bruises on my inner thighs because
of it! It was worth it though, I kicked serious butt!
I spoke to my dad that day.
We’re super close, so I really miss him and the rest of my
family. I cried... sometimes you just have to, you know? It’s
hard being away from people you love, especially when you get 4
hours sleep the night before!
I feel like the rest of the
cast and I really clicked that day. I spent some time with April
that day which was nice. We talked about our boyfriends and other
things. That night Kyle and I went mini golfing in black light (after
Playdium). It was awesome!
I really feel like things are
going well.
My advice for today is if you
have to do something you’re nervous about, just go for it!
Don’t doubt yourself or you’ll make it ten times harder!
Ciao

Day 02
Hey again!
What’s up Canada! As you all know, yesterday we went river
rafting! Although I had done it before, I forgot how exciting it
is! I got absolutely soaked! Some of the rapids were huge, others
a bit smaller. After the sun disappeared behind the rolling clouds,
it got really chilly. It was sooo nice to have a hot shower after!
A few of us shot some hoops before the rain started to pour, which
was fun because I haven’t played basketball in a while! Last
night we slept at another hostel, but this time in coed rooms. I
was assigned a room with Kyle and Monika. Of course we didn’t
all sleep in the same bed, it was bunk beds again. Last night I
actually got some sleep, which was a nice change from the first
night. Today is Day 3 of the trip. We’ve been bull riding and
this afternoon we’re going bungee jumping. I’m so excited
for it, I’m going 3rd! I really wish we got some free time
in the mall... I love shopping! Speaking of shopping, I’m very
pleased with my clothes from the shopping spree, but a couple pairs
of pants are a bit too big. It’s all good though, I’ll
survive!
I miss Vancouver, my family and friends tonz,
but I’m having a great time with everyone here.
Ciao,
Jules
COME ON CANADA, JULIE NEEDS YOUR VOTES!

Day 01
Hey Canada!
So far, the trip has been a blast! We started off our journey from
my hometown, Vancouver BC! My dad drove me to the airport and gave
me his last words of advice before sending me off into the great
unknown. I met the 11 other cast members at the airport. You know
how meeting new people for the first time can be kind of intimidating?
Well it was like that for the first bit with everyone, but I was
really lucky because I knew Kyle from before. We had exchanged email
addresses about 2 weeks ago and had been chatting on Messenger ever
since! We really clicked online, and in person as well. After going
over some rules and regulations with the crew and a delicious bbq
lunch, we headed off to the Bootlegger store on Robson for a shopping
spree! I’m a very organized peron, so I came up with a great
idea. A week before the trip, my mom and I headed down to the Bootlegger
store and picked out 12 outfits ahead of time! It was great to already
know my sizes and specific clothing I wanted, so when it was time
for our 60 minute spree, I was set! Bootlegger has some cool stuff
(as you’ll see with our outfits throughout the trip!). Later
that night, we went on a dinner cruise around the harbour. Dinner
was great and the sunset was even greater! After a long, exciting
day, we got some z’s to get ready for the next day.
My advice to all you viewers out there is
to go into any situation with a positive attitude and things will
work out!
Ciao!
Jules
P.S. Hi to all my family and friends back
home, I love you!
