With sign-ups being posted over two days ago, I think it's about time to get this game underway. For any of those still interested but haven't registered yet (such as Tomas T), The campers still free to be taken are Harold, Trent, Izzy, Sadie, Geoff, and Beth. I'm keeping things open for that until the ending of the Big Sleep. Otherwise, for those of you who need a refresher, the rules are as follows:

1. Every particpant will choose a single Total Drama character to roleplay as. They must be from the season currently being played (or already introduced in the same generation unless All-Stars). Unless altered due to roleplay, assume characters are doing same interactions.

2. There will be three rounds of gameplay each episode in which partipants will make choices in the comments for the scenarios provided for their characters.

3. Round Zero can only happen alongside round one. Important events in the season when it comes to characters actions (ex. Heather stealing the MP3 player or Harold rigging the votes) can be altered at key points. Logic for decisions will also carry over (like if Harold and Duncan were in an alliance before If You Can't Take the Heat or if Lindsay refused the alliance with Heather). Think of this as mostly social choices, and they will not apply to every single episode for every character.

4. Round one will be based on a challenge. There will be three options, with one good (+1 point), one neutral (0 points), and one bad (-1 point). The team with the highest amount of points wins the challenge. There are also special options in round one which I will explain exactly what they do. In any round, you are also allowed to come up with a choice yourself, and I will assign it a score. I might reward players for creativity.

5. In the case of both teams earning the same amount of points, it will come down to which team had all their members comment first.

6. Round two will be the voting round, in which the losing team will have to vote out a player. Chatting in the comments about votes is allowed, though only there to keep things fair. Think of it as a live tribal allowing votes to change until I call time.

7. We will be rinsing and competing until we have a final two, which, like real Survivor or TDA, the players who lost will vote for the winner.

8. The rule about myself is the only rule I'm altering as there are still open spots left. I realized I would have to figure out the votes for all the unclaimed characters. While I would appreciate nobody claiming Duncan so that I could just take him over in the chance that we get all non-player characters eliminated, I will be treating him like a normal NPC. As for deciding votes, it's either the most logical based on new outcomes or the canon vote. They cannot be swayed by discussion unlike Duncan (who will also make recomendations during live tribal if I feel like it).

With all that out of the way, the only thing left is teams....we are sticking with the intial canon teams for all players (including Katie and Izzy). If it gets too imbalanced though, Chris might call a propper swap. Let's get started.

Not So Happy Campers Round Zero Scenario
Everyone:

From the moment you got on the dock of shame to arriving on top of this cliff, you've all spent the time settling in and making new friends and enemies. What exactly you did with this time was mostly up to you. Pick one non-player NPC who you befriended and one you got off on the wrong foot with. Additonally, instead of choosing non-player NPCs, you can choose real players (just let them know directly in the comments).

Not So Happy Campers Round One Scenarios
Bridgette: 

Seems the Killer Bass are at the disadvantage of going first. Only Chris’ words of the cliff dive serve as proof of it being so. Obviously nobody wants to volunteer to go first. Despite being a really good swimmer considering your daily surfing sessions, you’ve never attempted something like this. Heck, there’s even a movie about a famous surfer’s career ending over something like this, and that didn’t involve woman-eating sharks. However, if someone doesn’t get the ball rolling, maybe nobody will jump from your team.

A. Someone needs to do it...but are you willing to risk it You’ll volunteer to go first.

B. I’ll make sure it’s safe before doing something this crazy.

C. I don’t care how good I am at swimming, I won't do it.

Heather: 

This is reality TV. Everyone you know and hate is going to be watching the broadcast of this. Getting your hair wet just isn’t worth the Gophers having an additional jumper. Of course this got you into a fued with Leshawna, the most vocal and dominating presence on your team. Honestly you had it up to the stratosphere with her, and the feeling seems to be mutual. In fact, she seems to be ready to throw you off. Do you trust Leshawna to throw you into the safe zone? Actually, do you trust yourself to land in the safe zone either? You never were the best of swimmers either. Or do you walk away, guaranteeing the fact that your not going to jump, but earning the distrust of your teammates more than you already have?

A. Leshawna will have to throw me if she wants me to jump!

B. Angering my teammates to this extent isn’t worth it. I’ll take the risk.

C. Walk away. If I keep arguing this will only make things worse for me.

Lindsay:

Heather seems, like, really awesome. Standing up to Leshaniqua like that? You can barely walk in your heals let along that. This leaves you in a weird spot though. You mean, doing whatever Heather does could make you two closer, but takes the choice out of your hands. The concept of jumping by yourself scares you. This was supposed to be a talent show! Do you want the embarrassment of possibly going home first though? Besides, those chicken hats are tacky, don’t go with your swimsuit, and you hate them. But is tackiness worth your life? I guess you could also stand up to Leahana and help Heather out? You, like, hate fighting afterall. But this could get you thrown off a cliff. What will you do?

A. Do whatever Heather does (this is an abnormal option. If you choose it, your point gain/loss will equal Heather’s)

B. I’d rather die than wear that chicken, so I’m jumping.

C. Tackiness might be a good look on me afterall. That and living.

D. Laquanza has no right to say those things to my new bestie!

Cody: 

Maybe things could be going better with the ladies than you expected, but so far things have been doing alright. Gwen in particular catches your attention, though it seems it will take a lot to impress her. Jumping off the cliff could be the thing that could do so. But honestly, you’re terrified. And looking around, everyone else seems to be in the same boat...except Duncan, but he’s abnormal. Nobody would blame you for not doing it. There’s also the option of going first for the Gophers. That might really catch Gwen’s attention. How do you want to handle this situation?

A. I’m going to jump first and impress Gwen.

B. Chicken hat? More like Cody’s hat.

C. How about I go near the bottom of the order? Just to triple check it’s safe.

Eva: 

Jumping off that cliff was easy peasy for someone of your capabilities. Honestly, none of these others even have a chance. Now you’ve got a new job to do: get these crates back to camp and build a jacuzzi. You bet you could save your team a lot of time by taking two back on your own. It might use up a lot of energy, but as long as nothing slows you down, you should have something left in the tank to help with building. I guess it would depend on the actual difficulty of the task. You could also just take back a single crate. It would still be an asset to the team but would guarantee you could still help latter. At the same time, a task like this is below you! You want to glory, so you’ll just have to put the jacuzzi together yourself and have everyone else carry the crates back. Or you could play an under the radar game and just help out someone else (as it seems two people are working on every crate).

A. Take back two (Special option: If your team wins the first part of the challenge depending on other players in round one, you can get a bonus +2 points. If you lose though, this will be a minus -2)

B. Take back one by yourself

C. Help someone else to take back one

D. Conserve your energy for the building process

Katie:

It’s so horrible! You and Sadie have been placed on different teams! How could McLean do this to you. Sadie came up with the plan that if you both threaten to not jump, then Chris will trade one of you to the other’s team. You thought that maybe if you just asked someone politely, Chris might be willing to switch your teams for you. At the same time, you and Sadie are already considered a duo due to being the only ones to come into the game knowing each other. Maybe it’s best if you seperate yourself from Sadie. Besides, complaining in any fashion might get you kicked off the Island.

A. Threaten to not jump unless Chris moves you.

B. Ask around and see if a camper is willing to swap teams (while not a special choice, you do have to either ask around with the players or swap with Izzy)

C. Calm Sadie down and stay on your respective teams

Noah:

After having to do an insane cliff-dive and immediately see it followed up with having to haul crates back to the campground to build a jacuzzi, you start to question if maybe you should’ve done some extra cardio before coming on this show. Honestly, you are exhausted. Your more of a manager than a manual labor guy after all. On the way back to camp, you’ve been taking a look at the instruction book. There’s some jonky wording, but it seems pretty simple to follow. Your teammates on the other hand don’t seem very impressed. Socially, it makes a lot of sense for you to try and help out your teammates (even if honestly, the energy you use up doing that will probably be better used for the instruction manual. Maybe you could try to do both. It might be difficult to multi-task, but it could be a boon in the long run (if you don’t pass out that is).

A. Work only on figuring out the instruction manual despite your teammates’ protest.

B. Improve your social standing by putting your efforts into the crate.

C. Try and multi-task

Owen: 

Everyone is looking at you really scared considering it’s finally your turn to take the leap of faith. To most people your size, this would be a death sentence and...well, yeah, it still is. ''I’m going to die now. I’m going to freaking die now.'' See, even your internal thoughts think this is a bad idea. But your team is counting on you. Can you really just accept the chicken hat? Would your team blame you for the loss? Trent seems to be waiting for you as a sign of encouragement. He even asks if you would like to jump together with him. Would your landing hurt Trent if you did that, or are you just thinking of excuses?

A. I’m going to jump now. I’m going to freaking jump now.

B. I do like to eat chicken. Maybe being one wouldn’t be too bad.

C. Having Trent by my side would be nice.

Gwen:

You did not sign up for three months at a crappy summer camp, let alone this death game. If this is what you have to look forward to, then why even try. In fact, you could purposefully try and get yourself kicked off since Chris clearly won’t let you just quit. But Trent, Leshawna, and that Cody kid all seem pretty nice. Maybe this won’t be the worst thing in the world. But then there’s that Heather girl over there. At least you would have motive to quit. Leshawna is exactly what she says queen bee is. It also seems like Heather is considering her options. Maybe you should guarantee she jumps by throwing her off yourself? It might get you in good with your allies and in the worst case scenario, you get one good thing out of this show before being given the heave-ho.

A. Jump

B. Don’t Jump

C. Throw the challenge to get yourself booted

D. Throw Heather in. (special choice: overrides Heather’s choice and your own for a neutral point gain. Unique outcome depending on if Lindsay takes her special choice)

Justin:

Jumping was easy for you considering you knew the sharks would never harm a face as handsome as yours. Even bringing back the crate wasn’t too hard considering you had your partner do all the heavy lifting by charming them. Now, in order to open the crates, you have to use your teeth to do it. YOUR TEETH! How disgusting and deplorable. You need those teeth for your next modeling gig. I mean, think of that smile. You, mister schemer, have a few plans. Firstly, you can just bite the bullet and do it, but that’s a little too simple and dangerous isn’t it. Secondly, maybe just sit back and seduce your partner into doing it by themselves. It might be a little harder for them, but saving time isn’t worth your teeth. Maybe you could also ask around for someone who has already finished opening their crate, but even with seduction that might make you look weak.

A. Bite the rope and get to it

B. Seduce my partner into doing it themselves

C. Ask someone for help.

Ezekiel:

No matter what, you’ve always listened to your father’s advice. He was never wrong...or at least you don’t think he ever was. So when the last words he told you when you walked out the door was take care of the weaker girls, you just had to follow it right? This whole crate challenge could be your ticket to do just that. I mean, that loud CIT girl has a swollen eye and Twin #2’s moral seems to be a little low. You might not be the strongest, but maybe you can take on a little extra load. Mom’s a little scary when she’s angry though and a lot of the girls, especially that muscle lady reminds you of her. Dad also says certain women don’t like to receive help without asking. Maybe you should ask them for help before trying something like that. At the same time, your worst fear is being the first boot. Maybe for once you should not concern yourself with Dad’s advice?

A. Take on an extra load without asking

B. Ask around if any of the girls would like assistance

C. Focus on making sure I’m not the first to leave

Courtney:

So far, this game has sucked. Most people here are nutcases. Look at Izzy for example! Now you have to wear a chicken hat because you weren’t suicidal by jumping off a cliff. On top of all that can’t see out one of my eyes due to a stupid bug! And you’ve already taken on the responsibility of leading the team when it comes to instructions. Honestly, you can barely read it as is, and messing this up could give your team the ammo they need to boot you. You could try going to the medical tent and get it checked out right away, but if they keep you for too long, your team would lose a whole lot of time. They can’t do anything without their leader right? Maybe you could ask for help, but then that will make you look more helpless than you already are. Or maybe just give up on reading it? You should be able to at least help with something, and other people might be able to do just as good as a job as you. In particular, a lot of the team seems to like Duncan. Or maybe there’s a unique solution that’s on the top of your tongue.

A. Keep at it myself and do my best with the swollen eye

B. Go to the medical tent and have the team wait for my return

C. Get someone to help me read this Switch places and let Duncan led while I try to help with the building.

D. Maybe I can come up with something else? (Special choice: while anyone can come up with unique solutions to the problems presented to them, I left hints as to an optimal path. Try and piece it together and you can get a +2 point bonus for your team.)

DJ:

You bet you really embarrassed your mama when you couldn’t make the cliff dive, but you don’t feel too bad about your choice. It’s not like you’ll be the only chicken in the coup. Now you just need to focus on the task at hand. While bringing the crates back, you notice Sadie going into the bushes. Based on your knowledge of the woods, it seems like there's an infestation of poison ivy. It might be rude (and get you the boot) if you go over there and you are too late and she’s already doing what you think she’s doing, but if you do nothing, you’ll obviously be down a member. At the same time, maybe you need someone with a bigger target on your back, and her screw-up could help you. Maybe you can ask Courtney or Katie or literally any other girl instead? It might take you a bit longer, but then you aren’t a pervert and might benefit from whatever happens with Sadie. A. Try and stop Sadie myself

B. Let Sadie drink her own poison and do nothing

C. Try and personally make up for the enticpation of losing a teammate.

D. Get Courtney to help Get Katie to help (Special: Depending on Katie’s team and a special round 1.5 choice if on an opposite team, this choice can either be a great choice or a horrible choice for DJ).

Tyler:

Honestly, you’ve been doing your best with the crates but you still haven’t really recovered from that horrible cliff dive of yours. Every time you take a step, you feel dizzy. Maybe you have a concussion? Yet you want to make sure your team can win and they might need your athletic prowess. You also want to impress Lindsay, who you’ve had eyes on ever since getting to the island. Maybe you can take a bigger load? If you do it yourself, then you can get back before everyone else, giving you an opportunity to get checked out at the medical tent before everyone arrives. Maybe you should just go now. Your teammates might be understanding, but they might need you. Or you do your share and not even bother with the medical tent? Maybe there’s a better choice?

A. Take on an extra load to get back faster so you can slip to the tent unnoticed.

B. Ask the others if I can go get checked out

C. Don’t even bother with the medical tent and just do your share.

D. Figure something else out (Special Option: I’ve given you hints to an optimal path in particular. Try and find it to earn +2 points) Leshawna It doesn't take an expert to figure out how you ended up confronting the meanest gal on the island. You came to thia Island to win a million dollars, and you certainly weren't going to let the pathetic excuse of wet hair stop you. So you ended exchanging some...questionable words with Ms. Queen Bee herself. Honestly, maybe this wasn't the best way to start off your game either, but you just can't stand something about her. And even worse, after all this arguing, you aren't exactly sure what Heather is thinking. Maybe you should throw her off the cliff? That might have unintended consequences down the line though. Maybe just take the leap of faith yourself and leave the queen to her own devices? While it won't stir up any more conflict between you, it might cause some drama. Or you could just wait and see what happens? A. Throw Heather In B. Forget Her And Jump C. Wait and See Note: I know there is usually three options, but since three different people were written around the idea of Leshawna being an NPC this round, these three have to be special. What Leshawna chooses will affect the outcome of the other choices, with all three other players invovled deciding the final values. As such, there is no clear bad option or good option here. And please try not to metagame too much.

Not So Happy Campers Rounds Zero and One Outcomes
As the campers were settling in to their cabins, quick friendships are rivalries were formed.

In the Bass Guys' cabin, the majority of guys united around Geoff, probably the most likable guy on the island after he calmed down Izzy, who was trying to get away from a crying Sadie in the girls cabin. This in particular really freaked out Ezekiel and DJ, who were the most thankful. The exception amongst the guys was Harold, whose mutual and immediate animosity for Duncan separated him from the group. This conflict only continued into lunch, where Eva, who saw Harold as weak and pathetic, ganged up on the geek alongside Duncan.

Geoff:

"I came here to be the life of the party dudes, and I think I'm off to a good start so far. Just hoping that jungle girl doesn't steal my hat or something as revenge."

Duncan:

"I'm here to win, and I'm not going to let some four-eyed doofus slow us down. Who does he think he is anyway? Good thing that Eva chick taught him a lesson. Maybe he'll stay out of my way like he's supposed to."

Ezekiel:

"That Izzy girl seem a little crazy, eh. And Geoff seems...What the word again...Cold. Yeah Geoff cold, maybe he can teach me how to cold."

The Gopher Girls' cabin was just as crazy as the Bass Guys. Gwen and Heather immediately got off on the wrong foot. Leshawna was Gwen's only support as Lindsay, Katie, and Beth all found themselves annoyed their with their aggression toward Heather (particularly Leshawna). Luckily a cockroach (killed by Duncan with the help of Tyler), was able to break up the feud before getting too heated. Besides this particular divide, we generally see the formation of duos among the girls, due to Beth helping Katie cope with her separation from Sadie and Lindsay's admiration for Heather. Heather surprisingly took an interest in Ezekiel during lunch, thinking he could be a useful pawn on the other team due to perceiving him as someone of low intelligence.

Heather:

"I'm here to win, and with my strategy, I can't lose. Katie will serve as a link to Sadie, but I need a spy, not an information broker. Ezekiel seems like the perfect choice. Well integrated with the guys to last but dumb enough to consider this a good idea."

Ezekiel:

"So that Heather girl seem nice eh. She actually talked to me when we had dinner."

Gwen:

"Yeah. This camp sucks. But Heather sucks more. I can't wait to see her walk down the dock of shame. The sooner the better."

Katie:

Beth helped me with the whole issue with Sadie so I'd consider her a friend. However Leshawna seems annoyed I constantly whined about her.

The Gopher guys cabin was a little quiet. Trent and Owen bonded as bunk mates, with the only real conflict being Noah and Cody's annoyance with Justin for so blatantly only relying on his looks. It was so crazy Justin encouraged the guys to take bets on if we could make a girl swoon. After Beth feel head over heels and an attempt on Leshawna calmed the ranting girl's temper, nobody was willing to question it.

Noah:

Cody and Gwen seems cool, so I guess we are friends or something. However, Justin is a waste of 2 billion years of evolution. He is the exact opposite of me.

Harold:

Gosh. First there's the delinquent Duncan, then there's the bully Eva, and now pretty boy Justin? Gosh this place sucks so far.

After lunch, both teams headed up the cliff for the first challenge. Chris decided that the Bass were going to first. Despite a lot of hesitation by both parties, Bridgette and Geoff (the camps best swimmers), successfully landed in the safe zone with minimal injury. Duncan quickly jumped third followed by Eva fourth. Four jumpers for the Bass and things were looking solid for the team from the get go.

Bridgette:

"Someone needed to do it. At least Geoff was there to support me. He seems pretty nice." (Would've been worth +1 but NesteaCookie didn't respond, meaning it's worth nothing and was only chosen due to canon.)

Geoff:

"i don't get what everyone was so freaked out about. It's just a insane cliff dive. The show ain't gonna throw us into something untested anyway."

Eva:

"I wasn't scared. I was just...not determined. Yeah, that's it. Not determined to go first."

Duncan:

"Honestly, I've been through worse in juvy. Try scaling down a 100ft wall with a faulty rope and see what you think.

DJ was the first to break the chain, becoming the first chicken due to his fear of heights, followed by Courtney, who took a bet on half the Gophers not jumping. Tyler was next, though his landing was poor as he hits one of the buoys. While he surfaces just fine, he clinches his head. Lindsay looks down worried about Tyler, but he shakes it off. Almost as worse off are Harold and Ezekiel, the latter of which got chased by sharks for landing outside the safe zone.

Tyler:

No matter how many concussions I've gotten from getting beaned upside the head by sports balls, I've always just pressed on first, and worried about injuries later. This situation is no different, I want to build up a good rep for my devotion to the team.

The last two jumpers for the Bass were Sadie and Izzy. Sadie held Katie in a deep hug, unwilling to jump without her and still craving a team swap. Izzy honestly would've agreed just to get Sadie to shut up, but Katie had other plans. Realizing their relationship would make them immediate targets and that being on different teams would be better in the long run for them, she declines to switch and tries to calm Sadie down. Not understanding the advantage, Sadie gets so upset she takes a chicken hat and storms off. This leaves Izzy to jump, giving the Bass a final jumper total of eight.

Katie:

Being without Sadie is so bad! This is worse than the time at the mall where we got separated for a few minutes. But...maybe we can use this for help our game? I mean, now we both have eyes on both teams. *gasp* Does that sound evil?

It was the Gophers' turn. Cody jumped first, hopping to impress Gwen, followed by Katie. After that though chaos immediately broke out with Heather stating her intentions to not jump due to not wanting to get her hair wet. An argument brakes out between Leshawna and Heather, and things get even more tense than in the cabin. Heather eventually concedes and decides to do it, though Leshawna decides to push Heather in for good measure. The push causes Heather to miss the safe zone and take a swim with the sharks, though she makes it back safely (even if it cost her a lot of energy).

Cody:

Gwen's the type of girl you've got to impress first before she even considers going out with you, and this is sure to do just that. Looks like I'm going to be a canonballer...get it?

Heather:

Angering my teammates to this extent clearly wasn't worth it, but pushing me in out of spite despite changing my mind? Loud mouth has no idea what's coming to her!

Leshawna:

First the stuff with Gwen in the cabin and then threatening not to jump over her image?Look, Queen Bee had it coming. Plain and simple.

After that Justin also missed the safe zone, though the sharks brought him back to the beach completely unharmed. That was followed up by Lindsay, who followed Heather's intention and jumped by herself. Noah also jumps with little issue.

Justin:

Even the sharks like me! Is there anything I can't charm? ...Don't answer that.

Lindsay:

No way was I wearing an ugly chicken hat! That thing breaks like, 8 fashion rules. I'd rather die.

Noah:

Not to self. Add cliffs to my list of allergies.

It was then that Beth decided to be the first non-jumper for the Gophers. It was also at that moment Owen made the comment "is it because you can't see the target zone with those glasses?" Beth huffed away after that, peeved with Owen. Trent, sensing Owen's heightened nervousness, offered to jump together. Owen accepted, though he accidentally landed on top of Trent.

Owen:

"I really didn't try to insult anyone in the short time I was here. Guess the comment about the glasses didn't help. At least Trent is offering me some moral support. Oh, and physical, I guess."

Beth:

Just because I wear glasses doesn't mean I can't see! And I thought Owen was a nice guy.

Trent:

So. Much. Pain.

With ten jumpers, the Screaming Gophers won the first part of the challenge and moved on to the second with the advantage of carts. This is a boon to Noah, who tries to multi-task reading the instructions and help out with the manual labor stuff at the same time...even if, in the long run, he was probably better off doing one or the other. But hey, effort is effort. Otherwise, the Gophers don't struggle much on the way back.

Noah:

"Might as well multitask so that I am not out. I came to win."

The Bass on the other hand struggle greatly. Tyler continuing to hide his concussion doesn't hinder the team too much, but it certainly isn't helping. Then Courtney loses her eye after a bug bites it, and Sadie ends up sitting on poison ivy. The Bass aren't even back to camp yet and they have three people who should probably be in the medical tent and aren't. The rest, particularly Eva and DJ, put in a strong effort to pick up the slack, but they certainly aren't able to make up the deficit. This also exhausts the two of them, meaning they will be of less help later.

Courtney:

I have to keep at it. Doing otherwise will make me look even weaker than I already do!

Eva:

Why are these crates so damn heavy?!

DJ:

I saw Sadie go off into the bushes, but I couldn't say anything. I mean, who wants to be seen as a pervert when I'm already wearing this on my head? But I can't just do nothing or I'm responsible for her probably going home. So I tried to pick up the slack.

Sadie:

This day keeps getting worse and worse! I should've never joined this stupid game.

The final nail in the jacuzzi for the Bass was the Gophers' sense of teamwork. Even Justin asked for help from Beth when he couldn't ruin his teeth due to his smile being an important part of his modeling contracts. Everyone really did their best to contribute too, even Katie who got worried when Sadie didn't arrive back with the Bass.

Justin:

Time to flaunt my charming nature and get someone to open this awful crate for me. After all, I'm Justin! Who wouldn't want to help me?

By the time they got back, both DJ and Eva were too exhausted to help out, and Tyler almost accidentally hit Duncan with a hammer due to his dizziness.

In a landslide defeat, the Bass now have to eliminate a camper.

Not So Happy Campers Round Two: Killer Bass Only
Time to vote someone out. I'll try to keep this open for either 24 hours or until everyone has voted. Talk all you want in the comments, but the NPC votes are all locked in (except Duncan's).

Geoff Votes for: Sadie (she clearly let the team down in the challenge)

Sadie Votes for: Courtney (she found the CIT to be annoying)

Harold Votes for: Duncan (he got off on a bad foot with Duncan in particular)

Izzy Votes for: Sadie (Izzy in particual was really annoyed by Sadie's attiitude throughout the challenge)

Duncan Votes for: Courtney (He doesn't think she's a good leader. Also, Duncan doesn't have a crush on her yet.)

Eva Votes for: Sadie (She's useless)

Courtney Votes for: Bridgette (she voted for her)

Bridgette Votes for: Courtney (for yelling at everyone)

Tyler Votes for: Courtney (due to Duncan's campaigning and dizzyness from the concussion)

DJ Votes for: Izzy (he feels guilty about Sadie and doesn't like Izzy)

Ezekiel Votes for: Sadie (She didn't jump nor help with the challenge)

Final Tally: 4-4-1-1-1

Due to a tie in the votes, Chris ordered a re-vote between Courtney and Sadie.

Harold Votes for: Sadie (he respects Courtney's CIT experience and feels Sadie let the team down more)

DJ Votes for: Sadie (while he felt guilty about what happened to Sadie and how he could've prevented it, DJ was still a bit annoyed with her attitude and found Courtney to be a bigger asset)

Courtney Votes for: Sadie (obviously she isn't voting for herself)

2nd Final Tally: 7-4

Eliminated: Sadie (22nd)

Sadie screams at Katie as she is dragged away, saying that Katie betrayed her and that she hopes Katie loses. Katie is distraught in the confessional, crying over how things ended between her and Sadie but being more determined to win than ever as it cost her the bestest friend she ever had.

'''This was a really fun first two rounds everyone and I hope the game is what you expected it to be. Hoping to start the Big Sleep sometime in about the next 12 hours, though it might be sooner. I hope you enjoyed it so far.'''

The Big Sleep Round Zero
Everyone:

The Awake-a-thon is going to be lasting a long time. As such, you're going to have plenty of time to socialize with your fellow campers. Pick one more to befriend and one more to make an enemy of. Additionally, you can also choose a love interest. Two players would have to agree to it or it can be automatic if with an NPC.

Heather (second choice):

Your strategy coming into this game was finding a few pawns that you could take to the end with you. Looking around your team, you see a few which might work out. Lindsay is already attached to your hip, so you don't really need to worry about her, but you have to find someone to fill out a core final three. Noah seems to be a competent strategist, but is so weak is physical comps you bet you and Lindsay could beat him (I mean, look at his 'run' around the lake!) At the same time, having someone else to talk strategy with could be useful. Ezekiel is another options, both being not the brightest tool in the shed but also competent enough to listen to orders. Ezekiel might also be a good set of eyes on the other team. Then there's Justin. Justin could be the best person to be in an alliance with due to his ability to get numbers. In fact, he could probably get Owen and Beth on your side without being in a final three. The question is do you trust him enough not to turn on you?

A. Pick Noah (let the player know)

B. Pick Ezekiel (let the player know)

C. Pick Justin (let the player know)

The Big Sleep Round One
Katie:

Obviously the loss of your best friend in the whole world left an emotional scar behind. You wish things could've turned out differently, or that you at least had time to explain it to Sadie better, but you've got to look toward the future. If you're seen as weak everyone might target you and this disaster would all be for nothing. The Awake-a-thon has started and you need a strategy to stay awake.

A. I'm going to channel my sadness into energy. All I need is determination.

B. Talk, talk, and never stop talking. As long as I'm talking to someone, I know I'm awake.

C. Maybe take a walk, let the fresh air clear my thoughts. As long as I'm moving I won't fall asleep.

Lindsay:

Running is heels is like, so lame! Why did Ferris set you up to this anyway? And now everyone is going to be depending on you to not be last? You really are starting to wish this was a talent show. But like, Paris' wording for this challenge was a little weird. Nothing about being back first..you think. That part was added by Heather, and she's never wrong. Your heels are really starting to hurt though. You don't know how much longer your feet can last.

A. Get off my feet for a minute and air out my shoes. The time lost won't matter too much.

B. Run back as fast as possible so I can get out of these things.

C. Just take them off and go back barefoot (fashion rules be damned) at my current jog.

Heather (new choice, old moved to round zero):

As you are minding your own businuess in the Awake-a-thon, you notice Heather drop her MP3 player. This gives you an idea, hoping that Eva might go beserk if you take it. As such, you try to stealthily take the devide off the ground. You don't think anyone noticed. Now that you have it, you have a few things you can do with it. Firstly, you can try to garner favor with Eva by giving it back after she realizes it's missing to get the most appreciation from Eva. Secondly, you can try and hide it from her, making her spend energy trying to find it. Lastly, you can plant it on someone else if you think someone else might've caught you with it and you don't know about it. Could potentially shift the blame to someone else.

A. I decided I'm going to try and garner Eva's appreciation by milking this for all it's worth. She'll be like Jelly in the palm of my hand when I'm done with her.

B. Eva is going to be a real threat in this challenge, and hide and seek might be just what the doctor ordered to mitigate that. Sorry Eva, it's all for the money.

C. Hmmm...who to plant this on? Can't get caught in the crime afterall. (Choices here are as follows: Justin, Lindsay, Harold, Ezekiel, Noah, and Katie)

Owen:

As you are making your way around the lake, you have to stop by a stream for a bit of water. This is probably the most exhausting thing you've done in your life and honestly, you have no idea if you will make it back in time. As you wander through the woods, you find Noah passed out on the ground. Honestly, his breathling is so poor you question if he's even alive. Part of you thinks that he just needs rest and that you shouldn't move him, but he's defenseless in this state. You could maybe take a break and watch over him if you don't think it's life threatning. At the same time, maybe he needs medical attention, and you still have about another mile plus to go. Maybe if you get back fast enough, you can let medical know? Or maybe take him back yourself? You might not be in the best condition yourself, but you can't leave him to die? There's also how this all might affect your game to consider.

A. Rest and watch over Noah as he recovers

B. Get back as fast as I can to get medical out here.

C. Carry Noah back myself. His life depends on it.

Noah:

Considering you passed out in the woods, you failed the Awake-a-thon before it even started. The bad news is that your team got a little annoyed with you for it. Good news though is now you can dedicate your efforts to helping out the rest of your team stay awake. There has to be a strategy to this. The question is how do you focus your efforts? Do you focus on one or two key indivuals such as Owen and Gwen or try and monitor everyone? But with them already angry with you for last challenge too, maybe it's best to just stay out of their way? Everyone is going to be really tired next challenge, so being well rested might help you in the next challenge if you survive this elimination round. Maybe you could find some way to sabotauge the other team? It would be really cowardly, but you came to win and there are plenty of ticking time bombs on that other team to manipluate. For example, Courtney and Bridgette, who clearly distain each other. Or Duncan, Eva, and Harold. Or maybe you just want to spy on people when they think you aren't listening and get information. It was said that information is key.

A. Put my efforts into helping out one or two key people who need help staying awake.

B. Put my efforts into helping out as many people on my team stay awake as possible.

C. Sabotauge the other team to the best of your ability.

D. Sit out and rest up for the next challenge (Special choice: Take a -1 in this challenge but in exchange get a +1 modifier to the choice you make in Dodgeball if not eliminated)

E. Spy on the other campers (Special choice: Take a -1 in this challenge, but in exchange, be allowed to metagame and know personally all friendships and rivilaries and romatic intrests formed this episode)

Leshawna:

This game has been really fun so far and just like you said on the dock, your here to win the million. If you had one compliant other than Heather though, it would certainly be the food. No offense to Chef but that stuff is disgusting! So when you saw the buffet, you could help but drool. A little known fact about you is that you really love your food. Almost as much as Owen, expect you actually have a sense of taste. But there has to be a catch to this. Chris isn't going to be handing anything about for free and for no reason when this is high above the qualitiy of what he normally feeds you.

A. I don't care what Chris' master plan is, there's actual food and I'm going to eat dang it!

B. I'll eat, but I need to regulate myself. We have no idea what Chris has planned after all but I can't just pass this opputunity up.

C. Chris is up to something. If that's the case, I'll just not eat at all. Besides, Chef's 'cooking' has been a great dieting method.

Justin:

Staying awake! You can't do that. All models know they can't ever go without their beauty sleep! There has to be something you can do. Maybe you can just sit out of the competition? Your career is on the line. The team has to understand. Your other option is cheating. Painting fake eyeballs over your eyes wouldn't take much effort, and you've slept standing up plenty of times before. But if you get caught, consider what that might do to morale. It would also reveal that cunning side to you that you might want to keep hiddem. You'd last a heck of a lot longer cheating than not though. Maybe the best option is to just do your best. You won't last long but at least you tried right?

A. I need my beauty sleep and nothing, not even a million dollars, is going to stop me from getting it!

B. Not only am I handsome, but I'm a cunning strategist too. Now where did I put that make-up?

C. Staying awake huh? Not exactly my type of competition but at least it will give me more time to seduce the girls.

Gwen:

This game has been a nightmare, so maybe you shouldn't be a surpise Chris made said nightmare a reality. Honestly, you bet people don't realize how tired you actually are considering how much the black lines under your eye blend in with your makeup. But you've gotten off to a poor start with a lot of the girls besdies Leshawna. At least Cody and Trent seem alright. Maybe you should stick by them and use each other as a double check on youselves. If you want to stick around though, doing well in this competition is a start. Duncan obviously has the most expirence with staying up this long considering what juvy must be like. Maybe you should stick by him and learn from the pro? He is on the other team though. Or do you just want to self motivate your way to the finish line?

A. If Cody, Trent, and I stick together and keep each other awake, I bet we could outlast anyone.

B. Duncan's probably done this before and we would probably get along, so I'm going to learn from the pro and hope the apprecitice can topple the master.

C. Talking uses up energy. I have all the motivation I need to stay awake on my own.

Cody:

You came here to find a girlfriend, and your success rate has been 0/11 so far. This challenge has been really difficult and Chef is trying to make it even harder with that dust of his. Obviously your smart enought to realize it's some sort of sleeping powder. By this point, you're exhausted. Maybe you should join the others and inhale the powder. Nobody would blame you for it right? Plus, you get that rest you so crave. Alternatively, do your best to get away from Chef. That powder is dangerous and you want to impress the girls by being the last one left. Lastly, you could go around and try to warn the other Gophers. You aren't sure how many would listen or if you could get away in time, but at this rate everyone's going to get hit and if someone gets eventhe smallest wiff of that stuff, it would make it really hard to not fall asleep immediatly.

A. I know it's selfsh, but this was the best chance I had to drop out of this competiton without looking weak.

B. Girls like men with a lot of endurance if you know what I mean. Of course, I have to be able to outlast them in the Awake-a-thon to impress them, so I got away the moment I realized what Chef was up to.

C. Man, Chris and Chef are really getting desperate huh? Well, if they are gonna play dirty by using sleeping powder, then I'm going to warn my team about it. Let's see who has the last laugh now?

Ezekiel:

You weren't the first boot! Congradualtions! With that out of the way, it's time to really kick your game into overdrive. And it seems Chris decided to hold a celebration feast in your name. Your family was never the most well off, so seeing a feast like what was spread out in front of you was so incredible it brought tears to your eyes. Part of you is really tempted to just dig in and savor the moment, but you notice the looks some people are giving the hosts. Is there something wrong with this that you wouldn't know? Maybe you should go last. Your parents also always said the phrase "ladies first". Maybe you should wait until all the girls go? In fact, maybe you should recommend it to everyone?

A. I might never get an oppurtunity to eat like this ever again in my life! Who would pass up this oppurtunity eh?

B. Everyone else is really scaring me eh. As much as I would love to dig in, maybe there's something wrong with it? I'll hold off for now.

C. Mom always said "ladies first" and I'm going to live by that motto no matter how much my stomach tells me otherwise. (Special Choice: If Leshawna decides not to eat, you won't eat. Won't spoil points though but it will be two potentialy different values one good and one bad).

D. Owen looks really hungry but my mom always said "ladies first". I've got to stop him!

Courtney:

You almost got sent home last time. Heck, it was so close there was a vote off between you and Sadie. Nothing like that can ever happen again! Obviously, with that in mind you were one of the first back to the lounge. Your getting impatient though. Maybe you should go back out and get the remaining Bass back here as soon as possible? But being pushy is what got you boot the last time, so maybe you should just wait and pray they all make it back before the Gophers. What to do...wait, you just came up with something didn't you. What if you wait outside for everyone and delay the Gophers by trying to talk with them as the approach. If you keep them from coming inside, maybe it could get your team in sooner than the others. Plus, it might give you a chance to build some interteam connections.

A. I'm a CIT. It's my responsibilty to look out for my teammates if they like it or not!

B. As much as I feel like it's my responsibilty to look out for everyone, if I'm too pushy I'm just gonna get the boot. I can't have that any time soon can I?

C. Wait a second...what if I just delay the Gophers by talking to them outside the lounge before they techincally arrive? Building inter-team connections while helping out my team. Wow, I feel so evil...I like it.

Tyler:

As an athlete, you are a very competitive person. So when you thought you heard the word 'race', you instantly went into game mode. Honestly, you can't say you were the fastest, but you felt pretty confident you were doing well. On the final strecth, you noticed Lindsay stuggling from afar. Your first thought was how did she beat you hear. Your second was that she was in pain and you needed to do something. But then you thought back to the elimination. Sadie got the boot due to being so obseesed with Katie. While your not sure how you feel about Lindsay, part of you can't just stay back and do nothing. You did bring your lucky water bottle with you on the run. While it might not be much, maybe you could lend it to her. The others might not notice and she could either take a drink or maybe clean her heel if any wound was caused. Considering she hasn't noticed you yet, maybe you should just watch?

A. Any gentleman can't just abandon someone in need no matter what their affiliation, so I decided to give Lindsay a helping hand back to the lounge.

B. As much as I would like to help Lindsay, I have to think of the target it would put on my back. I mean, look at how things went with Sadie!

C. I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to this whole Linday situation. I want to help her but can't be seen as doing so. Maybe I can give her my lucky water bottle? It would either give her a drink or help her clean the irriatated heel. Just hope nobody notices it's mine.

D. I'm going to watch from afar and see what Lindsay does. (Specail Choice: Point Value determinate on Lindsay's choice).

Eva:

Your MP3 is MISSING! Obviously you're panicing. It could be anywhere. That MP3 player was a gift from your dear friend who's really sick right now. You can't just lose it! Maybe you can ask your teammates to help? But everyone is in the middle of the awake-a-thon. Maybe you can tear through this island by yourself to find it? You can't rely on the others right? Or maybe you can just try and ask around? There's always the chance that someone found it but didn't know who it belonged to.

A. That MP3 was given to me by my best friend. I came on this show to win the money for her medical bills. I can't lose it! ...So I'm going to tear this whole island apart until I find it.

B. ...Maybe if I explain it to everyone, they will be willing to help me out? They better!

C. ...I could try asking around. Someone is bound to have seen it.

Bridgette:

Running through the woods is a real struggle for you, but not for the reasons most would expect. Honestly, you fear being alone and this challenge has not been kind to you because of it. In this state, you're afriad of your own shadow. At this rate, there are a few strategies you can follow. The first thing you can do is try running as fast as you can back to the lodge. If you keep moving, nothing can catch you right? Maybe you can wait a bit for someone else to catch up. But what if you are one of the last people back or everyone took a different route? Maybe take things slow and stay near more open areas of the woods so you can see what's coming around you?

A. I'm going to run as fast as I can back to the lodge so nothing can hurt me.

B. It might be scary, but I'm sure someone else will come eventually and help me.

C. Running back is too reckless, so I'll take my time and stay near open areas.

DJ;

As you were wondering back through the woods back to camp, you stopped when you heard the breaking of a twig. As you turn, you notice a small baby bunny stuggling to hop. It seems the little guy hurt it's leg. An animal lover like yourself can't just do nothing but what can you do? It seems friendly enough to you, so maybe you can take it back with you and you can take care of it once you garentee that your team is safe from elimination? Or maybe take care of it here, as there seems to be a stream you can get water from for Bunny? That might take time you don't have though. There's also the Bunny's familiy to consider. How did this injury even happen though? While you might not want to seperate it from it's family, it's rare to see one so young out here.

A. I'm going to take Bunny back to the lodge and patch him up there.

B. I'll do what I can for the Bunny here instead of removing it from it's natural habitat.

C. While I want to help Bunny, i have to consider the challenge and the fact I would be potentially removing Bunny from it's family.

Beth:

These early rounds of the game have not been very kind to you. You very well could've been going home first had your team lost the challenge considering you were a chicken. And now, as you try to stay awake, you think back to your time on the cliff, and how Owen basically called you Four-Eyes. Oh how you hate that name! It's been with you since elementry school, and even when you changed to contacts for a day, it wouldn't stop. You are snapped out of your trance when you see Owen sleepwalking...in the nude. Disgusting! But that begs the question, shouldn't someone stop him? I mean, while you hate the guy that seems kind of dangerous. At the same time, everyone on your team saw it that's still awake. Maybe this is your chance to shift the target away from you and onto Owen. it would be so satifying revenge to see him walk down the dock of shame. Or maybe you'll just do nothing. It's not like it's your problem right?

A. As much as I don't like Owen, I've got to stop him from sleepwalking into the unknown.

B. This is my chance to campaign for his elimination. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he's eliminated.

C. It's gross, but it wasn't really my problem. Now to try and forget about it.

The Big Sleep Rounds Zero and One Results
Katie:

Despite the loss of her friend weighing her down, Katie gives her best effort in the Awake-a-thon. She strategy was to talk as much as humanley possible, and with so much on her mind, she never ran out of things to say even two days in (the point at which she fell asleep. In particular she talked to Cody, who had tried to flirt with her, and Heather, who had approached Katie as part of her own strategy. She also came into conflict with Eva, who was still extremely annoyed with Sadie from last episode and now annoyed by the fact Katie wouldn't keep quiet about it.

"I need to talk, talk, and never stop talking. As long as I'm talking to someone, I know I'm awake. Besides, it gives me the excuse to complain about Sadie...SADIE [starts crying again]"

Point Value: +1

Lindsay:

After hurting her feet by trying to run in heels, Lindsay makes the smart choice to take a break and rest. Tyler approaches her during this time and offering her a water bottle. She is able to use it for a quick sip and clean her heel, giving her what she needed to get back without expending too much energy or hurting herself further. During the Awake-a-thon, Lindsay thanks Tyler properly before spending time fauning over Justin, because, quiet simply, he's Justin.

"Ohmigosh, this is harder than I thought it would be.  I almost broke a heel while out running and everyone on my team was going so fast...like even Omar was ahead of me!  I just hope I don't let my team down."

Point Value: +1

Team Total: +2

Heather:

After spending time during the Awake-a-thon trying to earn the favor of Katie, Heather picks up Eva's dropped MP3 player. Wanting to earn more favor with Eva, she decides to give it back to her once Eva notices it's missing. Supringly, Eva approcahes Heather first, accusing her of stealing it. Obviously Heather gives it back before Eva can make a scene, but out of the corner of her eye, she notices Duncan smirking. Heather realzies that she was caught picking up the MP3. Furthermore, giving it back to Eva so quickly means she didn't use a lot of energy and still has the chance to use it, giving her an advantage in the challenge.

"I decided I'm going to try and garner Eva's appreciation by milking this for all it's worth. She'll be like Jelly in the palm of my hand when I'm done with her."

Point Value: -1

Team Total: +1

Owen:

When Owen encountered Noah, he knew he couldn't just leave Noah behind. Worried about Noah' condition, he picks the schemer up and brings him back to the lodge, regardless of the energy he woud spend himself. The good news is that garenteed Noah would be fine...bad news was nothing was seriously wrong with Noah and carrying Noah back in a sprint bascially used up all of Owen's energy reserves. With Noah eliminated from the Awake-a-thon for passing out during the run, the Gohers start with a disadvatange. But hey, at least you did the morally right thing and made a friend along the way, no matter how much heat Heather gave you for your choice.

"I just had to carry Noah back myself. His life might've depended on it. Besides, no man left behind right?"

Point Value: -1

Team Total: +/-

Noah:

While you were definelty thankful to your new Chubby Buddy Owen, you now had to figure out how to spend two days plus when everyone else got to actually take place in the real competitiion. Knowing your position on the team wasn't the greates, you spend the time overhearing conversations and confessionals. In particular you took note of the whole Eva and Heather fiasco, the formation of the inter-team alliance between Heather and Ezekiel, Justin almost cheating, and the forming romances. You were in particular finding yourself annoyed by Lindsay, who seemed like she couldn't even think for herself and was spending time with your other most hated opposite. However, the trade-off was you were unable to actually help motivate your teammates to stay awake.

"Wow. Who knew you could learn so much just by spying on people? This should come in handy later."

Point Value: -1

Team Total -1

Leshawna:

While Leshawna would've loved to dig in, she held back a little bit, despite how normally with a buffet like this she would find herself in a food coma. Luckliy she ate something as Chris didn't let anyone eat until the end of the challenge, meaning that meal was the only fuel her body had throughout the challenge. This allowed her to last a pretty long time in the challenge.

"I'll eat, but I need to regulate myself. We have no idea what Chris has planned after all but I can't just pass this opputunity up."

Point Value: +1

Team Total: +/-

Justin:

The make-up cheating strategy was a consideration for you during the begining on the competion. Right before you were about to commit to it though, you had a change of heart, and decided to do the challenge honestly. During the time you were awake you were able to flirt with Lindsay. With your full commitment to do this honestly you lasted... 24 hours. You were the second person to drop after Noah, droping just after Owen.

"Staying awake huh? Not exactly my type of competition but at least it will give me more time to seduce the girls."

Point Value: +/-

Team Total: +/-

(Extra Note: Your gut was right on this Cleric. Cheating as worth plus one.)

Gwen:

Your strategy was to team up with a few people and keep each awake and, for the most part, it worked really well. Alongside Cody and Trent, you were able to last a really long time and was the last standing Gopher in the competion. During this time, you really developed a crush on Trent and properly became friends with Cody. Furthermore though, the you end up in conflict with Eva due to her accusing you of knowing where her MP3 might be. Was being the last Gopher standing enough though?

"If Cody, Trent, and I stick together and keep each other awake, I bet we could outlast anyone."

Cody:

When Chef began to spread sleeping powder around, you knew you had to get out of the way, excusing yourself from the ciricle and huridly getting away before Chef could notice. You did this t try and impress the girls by being the last one standing. You never thought that you might be leading by example. Duncan, who was looking at you, decided to follow you confused at why you would be so anxious to get away and coming to a similar conclusion as a result. You were the only two to not be affected by the sleeping powder, putting the Bass' best player at an advantage. Maybe if you had just bit the bullet, nobody would've relaized what Chef was doing and everyone would be on even ground. That or let the team know. But as you fall asleep as the second last standing Bass to Gwen, you wonder if you could've made a better choice.

"Girls like men with a lot of endurance if you know what I mean. Of course, I have to be able to outlast them in the Awake-a-thon to impress them, so I got away the moment I realized what Chef was up to."

Beth:

Despite your dislike of Owen, it wasn't like it was your problem. In the worst case scenario, he gets injured and is eliminated because you didn't do anything. Best case and he's eliminated for his disgusting habits down the road without having to lift a finger. During this time, you also notice that Heather invites Ezekiel into an a huddle with Lindsay. You get confused. Heather was your frined right? She spent the run around the lake talking with you. You become jealous of Zeke.

"It's gross, but it wasn't really my problem. Besides, everyone else saw it and could've done something about it, so why should I put my neck on the line and campaign and then be branded as a strategist early on? Now to try and forget about it."

Team Total: +1

Ezekiel:

With everyone scaring you by being hesititant to eat, it makes you really uncomfortable. As such you head into the back of the lodge and wait for everyone else to eat first. While there isn't too much food left by the time you got there, you're used to eating scraps, and get the most out of this beautiful buffet. You wonder what might've happened if you were to have as much free regin as Owen, maybe you would've ended up in that legendary food coma you heard about. With seeing how Owen was when he saw that buffet, maybe it was better to stay out of his way. Furthermore, Heather invited you into her alliance and you accepted. The Guys from the Bass cabin have also turned you against Harold. You don't quite get why they don't like him so much (other than Tyler), but there has to be some reason. "Tyler is pretty hot, eh. No wait the word was cool, yeah cool. He taught me how to fit out eh, and that girls don't like it if you gross things around them."

"Okay, eh. I know my dad was wrong about girls eh. Like Eva beat everyone in the race."

"That Turkey dinner is like Thanksgiving when my Uncles and Aunt visited, eh. Oh this one Thanksgivings, my cousin brought her boyfriend. He was cold... Wait Geoff said the word was cool I think. Anyway he let me see his motorcycles."

Tyler:

Givng Lindsay your water bottle didn't affect you much during the last leg of the challenge, though it did give her the extra boost of energy she needed. At the very least, it didn't cause the excess energy use and arguments it might've if you carried her back. Otheriwse, you end up befriending Harold due to kind of being excluded from the friendship foursome of Duncan, Geoff, DJ, and Ezekiel. That and maybe because you defended him from Eva after you got annoyed she beat you back to the lodge.

"I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to this whole Linday situation. I want to help her but can't be seen as doing so. Maybe I can give her my lucky water bottle? It would either give her a drink or help her clean the irriatated heel. Just hope nobody notices it's mine."

Eva:

After your MP3 went missing, you decided to ask around to find out if anyone had seen it. You started with Gwen's group, but they didn't have the answer (sucessfully angered Gwen though). Then you went to your friend Duncan, who told you that Heather had picked it up. That liar had tried to say she was planning on returning it to you, but apprently you lost it almost five hours ago according to Duncan. Luckily, with your MP3 back, you were able to use it to do even better in the challenge without expending too much energy to find it. Justin also annoyed you during this time for being so mentally weak for falling short despite his muscles.

"That MP3 was given to me by my best friend. I came on this show to win the money for her medical bills. I can't lose it!....I could try asking around. Someone is bound to have seen it."

Bridgette:

Calm and steady wins the race you suppose. Despite your fear, you take things slow. You aren't exactly the first back, and this gets you into an argument with Courtney, but when you find out about the Awake-a-thon, the energy you saved was great. However, the constant fear of the woods did eat away at your mental stamina. Maybe waiting for someone else might've saved more in the grand scheme of things, but it's obvious running back was the wrong choice. You also befriended Ezekiel during this time.

"Running back is too reckless, so I'll take my time and stay near open areas. I don't care about what Courtney has to say about it."

DJ:

You couldn't exactly do nothing about Bunny, so you decided to do what you can. Collecting nearby herbs and water from the stream, you were able to tend to the wound. It seems Bunny took a liking to you during this time, but you still left Bunny in his natural habitat. You were satified with your work, and it kind of served as a decent break. However, Courtney yells at him upon his late return (despite not being last). During the Awake-a-thon, DJ deepens his friendship with Duncan. However, there's not much to do otherwise, and you fall alseep near the end. When you wake up, you find Bunny snuggling up against you. It seems Bunny followed you back.

"I'll do what I can for the Bunny here instead of removing it from it's natural habitat."

Point Value: +/-

Team Total: +2

Winning Team: Killer Bass

Reason for Victory: Due to Duncan not getting hit by the sleeping powder and him socializing with DJ and Eva (the latter sharing her MP3 as thanks), he was able to barley overtake Gwen. Comments: How? There are five Bass (tehicnally six but Joy didn't repsond) to ten Gophers and they beat the Gophers. I thought that this would be unbalanced but it just goes to show how too many negatives can affect the outcome. If this is too much of an anomaly though, I will swap in the future. I seriously didn't have to do any balancing here and even gave Heather an extra opputrunity to earn points! Crazy.
