Surviving the Element - Neosho man's time management pays off after 20 days in vehicle (http://www.joplinglobe.com/story.php?story_id=191578&c=87)

That's a great story. I could think of a lot worse cars to live in. I'm surprised they didn't have Jeff Probst standing outside with a tray of cupcakes or something. LOL

What I don't get is that apparently part of the game was that they had to live with (keep inside) the packaging and other garbage leftover from food deliveries. I dunno about the rest of you, but garbage pick-up is once a week in our neighborhood.

I'm with you, Mike. But I think the goal was to keep the contestants from bringing in all the food and drink they could to make life easier, thus making the contest more difficult. Would have been interesting to see in person.

Maybe, as long as you're standing upwind!

OK, the contest was cool, but living with garbage is just gross...

Who cares about the garbage!!! The guy won an Element. Open all the doors, hit the freeway and bye bye garbage. Or a quick sweep with the broom and it's good to go.
