ThAt night At THE CASAyA cAmp whiLe everyone eLSe wAS SLeeping, Bruce AND Bobby founD comfort IN the portAbLe toiLet AND in A bottLe of wine which they DrAnk without inviting THE reSt of THE tribe.

Sitting ArounD with ShAne, Courtney AND Cirie, ArAS SuggeSteD THE teAm get riD of Bruce inSteAD of Bobby. ShAne thought THE iDeA TO get riD of Bruce wAS StupiD, but he'D Stick with THE mAjority.
