Stranded Update 09.02.09

Now that the cast offs are into there 2nd week, the reality of being marooned on Mars seems to be sinking in and the atmosphere at the base is much more subdued. Glenn is not crying as much, and though he tries to ingratiate himself with the rest of the lot, they do their best to avoid him. He's often stuck playing cards with Ann Coulter.

Elisabeth and Rachel have been trying to cheer up Miley, who has broke down several times since Reese left. She 's stressed and weeping over the fact that she wasn't the first to be saved, "I don't understand, everybody loves me!!! Waaaaahhh!" Dr. Phil has tried talkin' sense into her too, but to no avail.

Joe and Levi are back on better terms, and occasionally challenge Michael and Dr. Phil to play some Wii games.

They all seem to be trying to distract themselves knowing tomorrow is the end of Round 2. One more will be saved, but the rest will remain.

Ann Coulter was set loose after her 24 hour punishment in the EVA suit invoked by 'Face on Mars' Challenge winner Joe Jonas. In no time she tore into Reese 'liberal Hollywood' Witherspoon when Reese, tired of Ann's constant snarky remarks, asked Coulter why she was 'so G.D. mean." Meanwhile Michael Vick tried to coax Dr. Phil and Glenn Beck into making a wager on what he foresees as an impending cat fight between the two.

Levi seems to be trying to put some distance between himself and Joe after Joe's attempted fashion make over of Levi. Joe gave him some of his clothes to try on, but Levi got tense when he he realized they were both now standing in their undies talking about fashion. Levi quickly got dressed and started talking about moose hunting.

Miley has now been able to snuggle up closer to Levi, but doesn't know what to make of the distant glares now going on between him and Joe. She and new bff Elisabeth have been having late night discussions about it while they braid each others hair.

Joe now spends most of his time with Rachel Ray in the Marsbase kitchen, rustling up her latest concoctions, Martianmellows, Mars-ka-bobs, and Veggie Marsangna...Yummo!

Stranded Update 08.20.09

As the cast offs...er castaways begin their exile the reality of the situation is starting to sink in.

Glenn Beck is curled up cradled in Elisabeth Hasselbecks arms while she sings 'God Bless America' as a lullaby in his ear. All the while Dr. Phil tells him, "You have the duty and gift of living. You don't have the right to sit on the sidelines--use your life and get back into the game."

Reese's perky attitude is obviously grating on Ann Coulter who looks to be already sporting a five o'clock shadow.

The younger set, of Miley, Joe and Levi seem to be sticking together, but Joe Jonas keeps trying to get Levi alone and muttering something about 'bro's before ho's dude.'

Rachel has already come up with 12 recipes using dehydrated corned beef, while Michael Vick keeps asking her about Isaboo, Rachels dog. "Rach, ya think she could pull twice her weight, even if she had a broken leg?"
