A sleeping bag, unless it's been unzipped and being used as a makeshift blanket or really uncomfortable mattress; is only meant to fit one person. But, this is a group of people that regularly defies logical thinking, breaks the rules regarding maximum capacity and loosely interprets all guidelines in regards to 'personal space' and 'comfort zone'.

In short, if there's a way to (reasonably) fit two people into one sleeping bag, they'll find a way to do it.

Clearly then, if it's a sleeping bag that's meant to fit two people (or so the manufacturer claims) there must be room for a third.

Unless your name is Tyson Tomko, in which case, you get your own sleeping bag; regardless of what the manufacturer may say.

Mickie is already sleeping in the car as is Molly, while Christy and Trish are sharing the SUV with John and Randy; or the two 'girly men' or the two chickens... or perhaps just learning from past experiences and not wanting to fall asleep anywhere near the three blond Canadians, Jeff and A.J.

Jeff has claimed that he doesn't need a sleeping bag, that the air mattress and a blanket will suit him just fine. And he'll also need one of the tents, but he doesn't reveal that until later and backs up that claim with a rumor that it was infested with spiders... which is how John and Randy ended up sleeping in the SUV in the first place.

Eve is sharing one of the regular sleeping bags with Edge, the two sharing the other tent with Tyson while A.J has managed to squeeze between the two sleeping bags.

Christian eventually decides that he can't sleep outside, without a tent and finds a spot in the SUV; that leaves only two sleeping outside. And they're thankful it isn't raining, and that it hasn't gotten too cold out.

But, they haven't actually slept all night either; they have kept the bonfire going and they have gone through two pots of coffee, all of the graham crackers, marshmallows and chocolate squares and a good portion of hot chocolate.

It was worth it though, aside from staying warm beneath the fully unzipped sleeping bag, Chris and Lita were able to see numerous shooting stars and the sunrise. They've traded numerous childhood stories, recounted their best practical jokes, planned future pranks, discussed the future, described their coworkers, friends and family in the form of countless haiku and even told a ghost story.

Their being awake all night also means they have first say in what's for breakfast (which will actually be something edible, unlike the offerings from John, Randy and A.J the morning before; who had also pulled an all nighter.. but unlike Chris and Lita; the aforementioned blue eyed, brown haired trio was awake all night out of fear) and the best spots at the bonfire.

Granted, staying awake all night means that they won't be able to drive later, but both Lita and Chris decide, it was definitely worth the sacrifice of sleep.
