Optjay, staying near the property is not a requirement for winning. If you took longer to get an overnight bag, I'm sure they would just let you miss some of your activities. If you just drove in for the day from a few hours away, the dream squad would just ask if you wanted to stay anyway. I'm sure that day and evening would be worth wearing the same clothes for two days!!
