My buddies got their own look.

I was wide-eyed as I took in the sight of my friends. Jack was wearing a loincloth made entirely of leaves like some kind of bushman. Santiago was entirely naked holding a paddle board in front of his crotch while a bunch of girls seemed to be painting on his back. Last but not least was Avery, his hibiscus swim trunks now completely disappeared, he now stood wearing a triangle of white bikini bottoms that tied up at the hips. Bridget was perched on his shoulders just as Sage was on mine, Zayne was on Jack, and all of us were red in the face.

Man, what the hell happened to these guys?

I suppose Zayne wasn't exaggerating when he told me he got off easy. Speaking of Zayne, apparently he and Jack have been dominating this competition while Scarlet and Santiago refereed. It made sense, since the only athlete here wasn't in the running Jack's height gave him an advantage over all the rest even with such a skinny partner.

Now me and Sage were in the circle of onlookers ready to take on our first opponent.
