 * Tom, how the hell did you get that impressive score on the challenge, and how glad are you to have immunity tonight?

I'm really surprised that no one else even broke 1000. At first, I didn't read the instructions and was just getting any word I could think of. Scoring about 3-4000. I never got a SLAM or any of the special categories.

I know most of the remaining castaways aren't native english speakers, but Katie barely broke 700. I'm really shocked.

A lot of my skill in this game came from playing scrabble/words with friends a lot in undergrad. I learned about a lot of random and weird 3 letter words like ute, fas, etc. I don't know what they mean, but I know they're words, haha.

Once I finally read the instructions I made it an effort to score slams and 8 letter words which would get me bonus 200pts for a single 8 letter word.

Also, it feels GREAT to have immunity again. No matter how much you trust your alliances and they support you, you never know if they might turn on you. It wouldn't be the first time it happened to me in this game.
