Welcome, Survivors
After nearly two months of challenges we're down to our final three. The winner of this challenge will be guaranteed a spot in the final two and cast the final vote to send the last person to the jury. I'm sure you noticed in tree mail that we mentioned your past performances in challenges could come back to haunt you. Did you excel in the word search but bomb in the rice challenge? Well, tonight will be your chance to prove you deserve a spot to be in the final two as we'll be bringing back various past challenges for you to complete. The winner of each new mini-challenge will be awarded 3 pointes, 2nd place will receive 2 points, and 3rd place will receive 1 point. If you choose not to participate in any one of the mini challenges you will receive zero points. Plan accordingly as some mini-challenges may take longer than others (or may not be so "mini" at all) and others make be very quick. Should their be a tie in any mini-challenge then each Survivor will be awarded 3 points. Should there be a tie in the final tally of points then we'll head into a new challenge with the Survivors that tied.
All submissions should be made as a comment to this post. Comments are screened and you may submit as you complete a challenge. You do not need to complete them in order. Comments may be edited to adjust final submissions but anything submitted after 11:59AM on MONDAY will not count. Results (unless we have a tie) will be posted Monday afternoon with our final Tribal Council following immediately. This is it, guys, good luck.
To recap:
- The winner of each "mini-challenge" will be awarded 3 points, 2nd place awarded 2 points, and 3rd place awarded 1 point.
- Failure to submit any mini-challenge will get you zero points.
- Although you will get zero points for not submitting a mini-challenge, you are not required to participate in all mini-challenges.
- All mini-challenges are due by 11:59AM EST on Monday.
- You may edit and submit your answers in pieces but please keep it one mini-challenge per comment.
Mini Challenge #1
Our first immunity challenge asked you to collect rice for your camp. We're asking you to do that again. The same rules apply from the original challenge. Obviously you all have rice "collected" from that challenge. We have copies of what you guys submitted and we'll merely subtract your previous submission from your new submission. Meaning, if you submitted 200 rice in the first challenge and in this challenge submit 500 rice we'll subtract 200 from your new submission.
Mini Challenge #2
Your second mini challenge will be to figure out a brand new combination of "RAIN." Instead of using numbers we'll be using cast members from this season. You each have your own special combination to solve. This means no two combinations are the same. Each combination is 5 past cast members long, no cast member is repeated, and Ben, Bryan, or Drew will not appear in any of your combinations. When you submit your guess for this mini-challenge we'll contact you via AIM or e-mail the same way we did previously. A green name means you have the correct name in the correct spot, a yellow name means you have the correct name in the wrong spot, and a red name means you have the wrong name all together. The winner of this mini-challenge will be determined by the person that correctly identifies their rain combination in the least amount of tries. Failure to solve this combination within 10 tries and you'll automatically be awarded only 1 point (more than one Survivor may be awarded this 1 point if all three of you fail to figure out your combination in 10 tries).
Here is the official cast list. Mini Challenge #3
Your third mini challenge is an endurance comment challenge. This will be the only challenge where you will not submit within the comments of this post. You will each have your own thread in the community to complete this challenge. Much like one of our past immunity challenges you'll be required to "dig" every 15 minutes. You can start this challenge whenever you'd like and should you find that you've messed up on a time you can restart in a new thread. You will be required to comment in your respective thread with "DIG 1," "DIG 2," "DIG 3," etc. for as many times as you can every 15 minutes. You may post other things in the comment but "DIG #" must always be present.
