#SpoCOOL: 7vs7 2: Day 3 Recap Click it!
By Remi | Jan 28, 2009 | 16 ResponsesOh oh! Seems like there was quite the massacre last night…
Out!
- Becky! Oh Becky, we hardly knew ye. Maybe it was the lack of caffeine, maybe it was the squirrel, or maybe it was just that she was pulled down by… Well, who are the two others she is talking about?
- Spokane Food Blog! For heaven’s sake, we’re a food blog, we can’t put limits on ourselves! And while we don’t know if Jordy is still in or out, we do know that media celebrities Not Unknown at All Neva and yours truly came crashing out of the competition after inhumane Ben and Jerry tempting from a Philadelphia librarian. That’s right. We were sabotaged! And you know what? Shakes, in addition to a beer and fries from Twigs were pretty heavenly.
Still in! (Aka, The Suckers)
- Mark G! Is the kung-fu master of the competition losing his edge? With an uninspired post which wasn’t witty at all, we can’t help but wonder… Maybe Mark G isn’t the player we had expected him to be?
- Mark S! Mark S, meanwhile, is playing it cool. With his eyes on the prize (although there isn’t one), and a cool, calm exterior, Mark S might easily cruise through the contest. As for a reply to “Remi, I am amazed that you are playing nice still.”: Things are about to change.
- Andrew! Having wisely gotten to-the-door assistance from Fresh Abundance, Andrew is trying to win the game by not leaving the house. Very wise; the temptations are certainly out there. Will the winner of last 7vs7 take home another gold medal? We shall see.
Who the heck knows…
- Jordy! Are you still alive? How about your cat? SFB is counting on you.
- Paul! We have a nagging feeling Paul is out, largely because he has gone undercover to hide his shame.

Jan 28 2009 11:37 amFirst of all – how can DTE not be a friend of SFB? WTF
Can I just state that for the second consecutive challenge there are competitors who, by going dark, are perceived to have outlasted me.
I think there needs to be an amendment to the rules that states, “Any competitor who willingly agrees to enter (insert challenge name here) must not only adhere to the rules of the game but must also prove his or her commitment to the rules via blog post documentation, emails and / or viral content. The aforementioned may be total bullshit and deceit but an earnest effort must by made. And failure to do so will result in immediate disqualification, automatic distinction of being the first one out, and openness to online ridicule by other competitors.”
In honor of the shady way for which Mariah “outlasted” me last time around – we can call it “Mariah’s Rule” – and only when she admits to her being the first one out last time will the rule be changed to “Paul’s Rule” or “Jordy’s Rule” because who are you two kidding, you were thinking about being out before I was and your attempt at going dark isn’t fooling anyone
- I may have went out before the comp started but I did so with honor.

Jan 28 2009 11:40 amEvil wins.
The phone calls I received last night were truly pathetic, the crying (Remi), the heartbreaking story about going to Kabul and having to eat like this anyway, so “I should live it up now” as well as the asking me to be the one to order the pizza from the other side of the damn country (as to not bloody their hands)… Seriously, guys.
All it took was a suggestion of ice cream and the mighty fall so fast.
You will NEVER last in a raw food competition. Never.

Jan 28 2009 11:45 amBart — Amen to the rule! It will be in place next time. And “our friends” are all food related, but DTE will always have a place in our hearts and iluvspokane.com.
Evil Looking Philly Librarian Avatar — You are right. I’d die in a raw food competition. But it’s increasingly looking like that’ll be the next challenge. (Although I’m thinking it won’t happen until this summer.)

Jan 28 2009 11:45 amI only got texts saying so and so will go out if you order them a pizza…this leads me to believe that is not a challenge but a charity =p If we try for a day or to the competitive people will buy my things!

Jan 28 2009 11:59 amAlso, and this is neither here nor there, I’d like to point out that my recipe in the Spokesman was slightly modified from the original. This mostly because the original included a lot of “to taste” and “just eyeball it” and “just think like I do.” I also recommend ground lamb sausage as opposed to a link.

Jan 28 2009 12:24 pmI love coffee! Yes I do! Especially when it tastes like a liquid candy bar. My headache and crankiness are gone now..but my body did not react well last night to the Ben and Jerry’s milkshake, grilled cheese, fries and chocolate-covered pretzels. Good luck Andrew and Marks…I hope you do well!

Jan 28 2009 1:02 pmBecky! You sounds a bit buzzed. I will say it again here. Until I hear from Paul and Jordy, I am writing them as going out before me. The out list in order? Bart, Mariah, Paul, Jorday, Remi, Geneva, Becky.

Jan 28 2009 2:56 pmOh no Unknown Neva – please refer to Mariah’s Rule up above. Because two people “went dark” they thus assume the role of being the first ones out – So in an ironic twist of fate – Mariah gets saved by the same rule she is responsible for creating. Because how can you pick between her or I in this competition who went out first as we both went out before the competition started.
Thus the order goes – Paul and Jordy, then myself and Mariah, then you, Remi and Becky.

Jan 28 2009 3:41 pmSo sorry DTE Bart, but if we are being fair, Jordy did play one day at minimum. She did have an update on SFB… a note insertion on the Day 2 update from Remi. Plus Remi went out before I did. So, technically, the Mariah Rule goes to Paul and now it is the Paul and Mariah Rule?
Order of outs: Paul, Mariah and Bart, Jordy, Remi, Geneva Becky.

Jan 28 2009 3:52 pmBart another note, Mariah did update once on the 7/7 #1 right? I remember a co-worker posting that she didn’t eat anything off her list at a staff BBQ. Did Mariah also post a comment? If so then I say this rule of “going dark” should be named after Paul… the ultimate, in not responding to posts or emails. What do you think?

Jan 28 2009 4:02 pmI don’t remember Mariah posting during the 7×7 1, at least not posting about going out, but I do remember her “outlasting” me, only for me to later find out that she drank an Odwalla juice or something of that nature before I went out. So what this is all about is restitution and my attempt at procuring honesty in these competitions. And in the course of which I have had to throw some people under the bus – but hey, competition is brutal. So, at the completion of 7×7 2, if Paul’s name needs to be added to the rule, then so be it – but until then Mariah’s Rule is gold.

Paul Comment 14 of 16
Jan 29 2009 1:12 amThe only thing I could decipher from these comments was the wonderful “…openness to online ridicule by other competitors.” How ironic! “Afternoon Delight” is too sacred for you, Remi. It brings back memories of when I got lost in the Chuck E. Cheese ball pit, and I had to repeatedly check my pants for stains before the one minute mark. That was very bad, but so is that video.
Aside from that, I really have no idea what any of you are talking about.

Jan 29 2009 8:31 amPaul’s out! He went out on Monday… I am sure there will be a full SFB update on Paul.
Bart, looks like you are still tied for first out.
Order of outs: Bart and Mariah, Paul, Remi, Geneva, Becky, Jordy.
We have Mark S., Mark G., and Andrew left and I think they can all make it to the end.
