Endurance ER: The Beach

[Deleted]

The camera pans out on two boats, both heading full speed to the beach carrying 10 contestants each.

On Boat 1:

Belén : "I hope to maybe play up my naive side, but I'll point out some imperfections if I need to"

Helen of Troy : "I'm not saying I'm gonna be looking for fights, but let's just say I think I saw someone steal my bracelet."

@rbiash : "My back hurts, why do I keep doing this sh*t?"

Dewie890 : *Chuckles to himself over something he said during casting*

Donald : "I'm eyeing up some of these 'power players', and I'm not to worried."

ZeroRed : *Stares off into the distance.. you can see complex mathematical equations fluttering across his eyes*

@aladmaho : "I'm comin in this game with an ole lady, but that don't mean I won't cut a b*tch off if she starts acting up."

@desertfox : "Hey guys what do you call a deer with no eyes? I HAVE NO IDEAR HAHAHAAH." *Everyone chuckles nervously at Stan's joke..*

Kaitlyn : *Throws mad shade eyes at Ashley and Belen for no apparent reason*

kenny : "Let me tell you guys about the time I won Endurance."


On Boat 2:

M : "I'm just your average girl, trying to find her place in this messed up world."

Coke : *Beings to sike himself up* "I AM a top dawg in this competition!!!"

Jgrubl : "I love myself. I'm just here to get what I deserve."

alaina : *Is a little weirded out by Cole and his constant staring*

daquanwizard : *Looks like he is about to vomit over the side of the boat*

violet vova : "I'm the best rq straight facts. If you don't believe it you can SMDRQ."

Phil : "My back also hurts, I can't wait to get on the island and be rude to people in confessionals smilesmile."

YoungMark : *Is in talks with production to somehow get an endless supply of beer while he's on the island*

Jacob : *Gently strokes the picture of Bryan that he smuggled onto the boat, staring longingly into his eyes* "He's.. perf."

challengesurvivorb : *Looks lifeless, and slowly tilts and falls out of the boat, left behind in the wake*

I guess we lost that one.



The boats make it to shore where the host, James is standing there waiting to greet them.

Welcome to Endurance: ER Addition

This is the beach, where all of your competitions will take place.

The game will be starting Monday Dec 28th at ~7:00 P.M Site Time (All times will be based off the site clock so adjust accordingly)

Grab your things and head to the Hut, that's where you'll be living for the duration of this game.

I'll be in touch tomorrow.

Note: Please do not have general chit-chat on the beach thread. All game discussion will be had in the Hut thread unless otherwise noted.

Posting this an hour early because I feel ill and am going to sleep soon. Also my computer is acting up so I'll format this later.


Alright folks, as many of you know Endurance is a team game. Now, the question you've all been asking is, "What are the teams and why are we still individual?" Well, before we get to the teams, we have to actually see who's going to have the rite to stay in the competition. That's right, not all of you will be making it to the team portion. There's only going to be 8 teams of 2, which means for 3 of you, the journey will end before it even starts. Behind me are 19 poles. You'll each grab on to the pole and be hoisted above the water. We go until there is only 1 person left. The first three to fall are out of the game for good. Give it your all, and make sure you're not one of the three that are headed home tonight.

Your Mission: In a pm addressed to the ERCONFESSIONALS account (@erconfessionals aka the one you send your private confessionals too) with the title "[Name] Rite to Stay" you will post the phrase "[Name] is holding on". After the first post you must post every 5 minutes, not before, not after until you cannot post anymore. For example, if you post at 7:00:00 site time, you must post again between 7:05:00-7:05:59 site time, and so on so forth. Only the minute values count, so don't worry too much about seconds. (If you post at 7:00:30 and then 7:05:10 that will still count) You may attempt this as many times as you'd like before the deadline, but please note if you're starting a new attempt for sake of ease. I will not be babysitting you while you do it, so if you miss a time and don't catch it, #sorrynotsorry. Only your last attempt will count, so think wisely if you want to go for a longer attempt. Use the timestamps to your advantage. You have 73 hours, or until 7 P.M Thur 31st Site Time to complete the challenge. Good luck.

Note: If you have any scheduling issues for this or future challenges (aka will absolutely be unable to complete a challenge in the deadline for whatever reason) please contact myself or another member of production IMMEDIATELY. I can be lenient, but only if I'm informed ahead of time and not 2 hours before a deadline.

Rite to Stay Challenge: Hang 'Em High

"All right folks, the objective is simple. Don't be the last one hanging, or you'll be headed home. Now we're not stopping once one person drops. Whoever manages to hang on the longest will receive a pyramid piece, 'Commitment'. Pyramid pieces are an integral part of the game and if you plan  on winning the final, you're gonna need as many as you can get your hands on. I'll explain more after we get   teams together. Any questions? No? Good, hoist em up boys"

The contestants all grab a hold of their poles and are hoisted above the water...
Dewie is wearing his water wings...
Ricardo is intently trying to figure out what the best angle to hang on is..
Kenny: "You know I won Endurance so, I should win this easy."
Cole: "You a big dawg, Colton. Hit it hard."
Jon is flexing his muscles, ready to show what he's got.
Ashely looks calm and composed.
Phil is starting a spiel about some political thing.
Kaitlyn: "f*ck this!" She immediately lets go and falls into the water.
KAITLYN IS THE FIRST ELIMINATED FROM THE GAME.

Suddenly both Alaina and Vova lose their grip, and go falling to the water.
Vova: Dangit rq...
Alaina: No, I can't go out like this.
Alaina and Vova unfortunately....



















































YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED ANY CHOICE IN YOUR TEAMMATE OR TEAM COLOR. WHILE THE OTHERS ARE COMPETING TOGETHER TO FIGURE OUT WHO WILL BE THEIR TEAMMATES, YOU ARE OUR OFFICIAL 9TH TEAM ON ENDURANCE ER. ALSO FOR COMING IN LAST, YOU WILL NOT BE PARTICIPATING IN THE TEAM SELECTION CHALLENGE.


The rest of the cast mates seem shocked..
That's right guys, only Kaitlyn is being eliminated. However, for coming in last Vova and Alaina will automatically be made a team.

In his stupor Daquan loses his grip and falls to the water, followed shortly by Belen.

Kenny is seen struggling with his pole by tightens his grip. Stan, Jonas, Mel and Ricardo seem un-phased.

Alex glances down and sees  Bryan standing there in his speedo, and loses his focus and grip. *Splash*
Jon goes to make fun of him and also falls.
Youngmark is seen sipping a beer in one hand while hanging on with the other.
Ashley goes to tell him how dumb he looks and falls in, followed shortly by Don.
Youngmark goes to grab another beer from his belt and is the next to fall in. Followed by Dewie who spots a butterfly on the water's surface.
Alad, still distraught from Kaitlyn's elimination, begins to spit some hot bars, to which Phil and Kenny listen in awe. All 3 fall in the water because Yezus is alive.
Cole feels his arms get tired, with Jonas and Stan both showing signs of fatigue. All of a sudden Cole and Jonas both fall in.
Cole: "Help, I think I'm drowning!"
Stan swan dives in to save Cole. He's been successfully rused.
Mel and Ricardo are still going strong, hanging on for almost twice as long as the next closest competitor. Ricardo is seen drawing complex tanagram shapes in the air while Mel speaks Dingonuese. Ricardo quickly learns the language and they have a short conversation, ending with Ricardo jumping off.
Ricardo: "She promised me nudes."

Congratulations Mel, you have officially won the rite to stay mission! You will be rewarded with the 'Commitment' pyramid piece, which will be solely in your possession, unlike the others which will belong to teams.


Official Times:
Mel – 175 points (875 minutes)
Ricardo – 169 points (845 minutes)
Stan – 91 points (455 minutes)
Jonas – 84 points (420 minutes)
Cole – 79 points (395 minutes)
Kenny – 69 points (345 minutes)
Phil – 66 points (330 minutes)
Alad – 59 points (295 minutes)
Dewie – 49 points (245 minutes)
Youngmark – 41 points (205 minutes)

Ashley – 39 points (195 minutes)
Jon – 37 points (185 minutes)
Alex – 28 points (140 minutes)
Belen – 28 points (140 minutes)
Daquan – 17 points (85 minutes)
Kaitlyn -5 points (25 minutes)
Vova – 3 points (15 minutes)
Alaina – 3 points (15 minutes)

Note for you fks: After being told that both Vova and Alaina would not be able to put meaningful attempts into the comp, I began looking for an alternative to eliminating them. After Kaitlyn quit I was able to adjust the teams to 9. I just like to listen to you guys b*tch. <3.

"Most of you have been asking how exactly the teams are going to be chosen. Well I'm here to tell you now that YOU will be choosing the teams and this next comp will have a direct impact. The winner of this next competition will be selecting who they want as their teammates and their team color. The teammate will chose who the next team captain is, and they will chose their teammate and color and so on so forth, until everyone is selected. Simple enough?"

Your Mission:

In your confessional PM you will answer the following questions with your answer, and what you think the majority will answer:

Who would you most like to be your teammate?
Who would you least like to be your teammate?
Who’s reputation is most likely to help their game?
Who’s reputation is most likely to ruin their game?
Who had the most surprising Rite to Stay performance?
Who do you think has the best chance of winning right now?
Who do you think has the worst chance of winning right now?
Who would you be mostly likely to bring to a family dinner?
Who do you think will be eliminated first?
Who is most likely to take these questions personally and have a mental breakdown?
Who is most likely to complain about this comp?


Scoring will be as follows: You are trying to guess what the majority is going to answer for each question. Even if your own personal answer is different it does not matter. We will go through the questions one by one, and if you answer incorrectly, you're out. The last person standing will win and become the first team captain. Alaina and Vova will not participate and will be given whichever color is NOT selected.




Example:

Who is the best host? Jessica (Bryan)
The first answer is my own answer, and the ( ) is who I think the majority will say. Please use this formatting ty.


You will have until Sat Jan 2nd at 1 a.m submit your answers, however the sooner you submit the sooner we start the team selection process, which will take a significant chunk of time.

Note: Available team colors are Red, Green, Orange, Blue, Yellow, Purple, Gray, Brown and Black.

"Everyone's wanting to know how the teams are gonna shape out. We already have one, Vova and Alaina. Now let's see how the rest of the teams are gonna go.

Team Selection:

"Alright YM, since you won the team selection mission you'll be our first pick. Go ahead and pick your partner, your team color and let us know the name ya'll plan on going by for the rest of the competition. Once each team captain makes your selection, I'll give you your Pyramid Piece. These pieces are your life line in this game. It will give you a big boost in the final, so you want to collect as many as possible. There's 10 total, and Mel already has one. Everyone gets one except Alaina and Vova."


Youngmark: I pick Cole. We're gonna be the black team and we're gonna go by 'Cole Steen Cole'.

*Jessica tosses YM the 'Leadership Piece'* Since you were the first pick your team gets the Leadership Piece. A team needs leadership in order be successful in an alliance or comp. Hopefully this piece can help you find it in you to be a solid and fair leader.

Cole: Alright, let's do this. Two big dawgs on one team! Stan you got next pick.

Stan: I'm choosing Kenny as my partner. Champions deserve champion partners. We're gonna be the Gray team, and go by 'The Shield'.

*Jessica tosses Stan the 'Strength Piece'* Your teammate is our defending champion. He's already shown he has the nessecary strength to win this game. Here's hoping this piece can help you find your inner strength in the tough times ahead.

Kenny: Damn right. Jon you got next pick.

Jon: I'm choosing Ashley as my partner. We're gonna be blue and go by the name 'Kenny's Angels'.

*Jessica tosses Jon the 'Discipline Piece'* You only changed your team name once, and I honestly thought you'd change it a lot more. Hopefully this piece will help you keep the snarky outbursts to a minimum and help you show some discipline in the face of adversary.

Ashley: Actually no. *Looking straight at Kenny* We're gonna be 'Team SMD Arsie' Phil you have next pick.

Phil: I am choosing Dewie as my partner. We will be the red team and will be henceforth referred to as 'The Red Rockets' .

*Jessica tosses Phil the 'Heart Piece'.* For having the biggest hearts by seeing "The Light". In this game, nothing helps more than having a clear heart and mind when making tough decisions. Hopefully this piece will remind you to stay pure when you need to most.

*Dewie excitedly slaps his water wings together and hands Phil an oreo and juice box* Mel will pick next.

Mel: I will choose my sista, Belen. We will be the green team and be called 'The Alien Invasion'.

*Jessica tosses Mel the 'Knowledge Piece'. Everyone knows girls are smarter than boys. In this game knowledge is indeed power, here's hoping you can make it work.

Belen: Yay! I will pick Ricardo to select next!

Ricardo: I am picking Jacob as my partner. We will be the orange team and be known as 'Egnaro'.

*Jessica looks kind of confused but tosses Ricardo the 'Commitment Piece'. Since you two have stuck together through so much, you've shown great commitment. In this game if you're not 100% committed to your partner, you will fail. Also what does your team name mean?

Alex: It's orange backwards. That's my thing I guess. Jonas will have the next pick.

Jonas: I will be selecting my homie Don, we will be brown and our team name is 'If Spitters are Quitters does Kaitlyn Never Swallow?'.

*Jessica is clearly shocked.* Uhh, well, Ok. *Hands Jonas the 'Courage Piece'* I mean, being brave enough to have a team name like that speaks for itself. In this game you have to have the courage to stand up for yourself and do what's right.

Don: Alad will be the next pick.

Aladwest: Well Daquan is my partner I guess, but we're gonna be purple and our name is 'n****s in Paris'.

*Jessica tosses Alad the 'Trust Piece'* Clearly not being able to select your partner can cause trust issues. However, trust is the most important thing in this game, so hopefully this piece will help you develop that tight trust.

Daquan: Yes.

That leaves Alaina and Vova as our Yellow team, and their name will be 'Beauty and the Beast'. They won't receive a temple piece, however one will be up for grabs in the near future.

*Everyone starts to pack up their things and head back to the hut*

But before you guys go, there's one more thing......





























































We're adding another team. This team will have the color pink, and will go by the name 'Team KYS'. Without futher adue I'd like to introduce you to two good friends of mine..







































































































Your defending runner ups........













































































Nate and JC!

They will also not get a piece to start. That's all I got. Your next comp will be up tomorrow. Take the rest of the night to rest up.

Samadhi Competition 1

"Alright guys and gals, today you're going to be competing in your first Samadhi competition. The Samadhi is a power artifact, which has the potential to have a huge impact of the game. The winner of this comp will decide who gets the Samadhi. You'll be playing one of these every round. For today's competition you will be working as a team to solve a phrase puzzle. The pieces or hidden in the sand pits behind you. On go, you and your partner will race out and try and dig up all of your puzzle pieces so that you can solve the puzzle."

This competition will be done via PM. You must send a PM with you, your partner and myself alongside whoever is giving you the comp. You MUST include me in the pm weather I am giving the comp or not so that I can have your results readily available. It should take no more than 45 minutes to complete. If you CANNOT get yourself and your partner on line at the same time, you can still do the comp but will be given a penalty AND be a huge disadvantage. You have until Wednesday January 6th at 10 p.m site time to finish the competition. I will be around all night tonight but will be unavailable Tuesday, and most of Wednesday. I will be around a bit Wednesday.

Samadhi Mission 1: Life's a Beach

"Alright guys, today's challenge will be for the coveted Samadhi. The Samadhi WILL have a definite impact on the game, so you definitely wanna make sure you win it. Today, you and your partner are going to be digging in these 4 sand pits to uncover puzzle pieces. Once you have all the pieces you will race back to your station, and attempt to solve the puzzle. Simple enough right?"


Everyone lines up and gets ready to go; The horn sounds.

Everyone except JC run towards the sand pits.

JC: "I'm gonna let Nate take care of all that digging."

The Yellow, Red, Blue and Brown teams make quick work of the first sand pit, and rush back to the next pit.

Dewie beings to struggle digging in the sand, his water wings causing him to have limited mobility. Phil is making up the slack.

The teams move on to the third sand pit, with the Black and Gray teams still stuck in the first pit.

The Yellow team is out front, with the Blue team and Nate not far behind.

The first team to dig up all their pieces is... The Yellow team!

The Blue and Brown teams are right behind.

Vova: "Uh, idk RQ man..."

Jon: "the power to choose rites???"

Ashley: "You didn't use a single V you idiot."

Don: "Duuuuuudeeeeeeeeeeee........"

Meanwhile Nate strolls up, having dug all of his pieces up on his own. "Please help me now Jackie."

Nate and JC begin assembling their puzzles.

The Gray team has given up at this point. The Black team is still trying but not getting anywhere.......









































JC: "Victory to those who Persevere!"

Nate and JC have won the first Samadhi Mission!

Congratulations on winning the first Samadhi. You will decide in your confessional who will be receiving the Samadhi. You will have 24 hours to decide. Please leave a message in your confessional with your choice and your reasoning.

Endurance Mission 1:

"Yesterday you played for the chance to give out the Samadhi. Nate and JC won and have made their selection."

Nate: "Uh, we're giving it to Mel and Belen."

"All right, Mel and Belen you will have a disadvantage in the upcoming mission. This Endurance mission will be important. The winner of this mission will chose 1 of the teams that will compete in the Temple mission to avoid elimination. We'll go over how the second team is selected later. But for now, know the only 100% way to be safe is to win the mission. So let's get to it. Today you'll be playing a personal favorite game of mine. As one of my co-hosts, PGCool, is unable to be with us often, we've taken a few of his comp ideas and implemented them into the season. This is the first. You will be playing 'Tower of Hanoi'. The premise is simple, you will have 3 posts, A B and C. Your goal is to get all 6 of your rings from post A to post C in the LEAST amount of moves possible. In the event of a tie, we will use time spent as a tie-breaker. You and your partner will both go individually, and your attempts/times will be added together. Good luck"

Since the last comp was such a sh*t-show, I'm going to make this one a bit easier on you fools. Go to this website: www.coolmath-games.com/0-tower-of-hanoi or www.softschools.com/games/logic_games/tower_of_hanoi/ (they're the same, the first may not work on mobile) and play this game as many times as your heart desires in the time limit. You must play on 6 rings, except for Mel and Belen who must BOTH play on 7 rings due to their Samadhi disadvantage. You will screenshot me whatever attempt you wish to submit, making sure that both the attempts, time, and number of rings are clearly visible. It MUST BE UNEDITED. I know some of you fks are good at photoshop. You may only submit ONE screenshot so make it count. If you play on the wrong amount of rings and submit you will be DQ'd no questions asked. You have until Saturday at 11:00 P.M site time to finish this comp. 

Note: This will require flash player, and if you have a problem with that I need to know ASAP so I can find a work around ASAP.

Endurance Mission 1: Tower of Hanoi

"All right guys and gals, your first Endurance mission is going to be a personal favorite of mine. Before all 20 of you are 3 poles, with 6 rings on the farthest left one. Mel and Belen you each have 7 rings as per your Samadhi disadvantage. Your goal is to move all your rings from the left pole to the one farthest on the right, but have them in the same ascending order. You will be trying to do this in the fewest moves possible. The minimum is 63. In the event of a tie, we will be going by whomever completes it first. Simple enough?"

The contestants nod. Mel and Belen are visibly upset by their disadvantage.

Mel: "I don't understand why WE had to receive the Samadhi. It's just not fair."

Belen: "Is ok, we will do our best, no one is perfect!!!"

Remember you and your partner must BOTH finish in order to win, it's still a team effort.

The contestants begin moving their pieces. Everyone is moving at a quick pace, easily getting their first piece in the right spot.

Dewie, Stan, Kenny, Jacob, Don, Jonas and Ricardo are among the first to get their second and third pieces in place.

Daquan and Alad are visibly struggling, making many mistakes in the process.

Stan and Kenny pull ahead of the pack, as they slide their fourth pieces into place.

Dewie, Jacob and Ricardo are not far behind.

Don and Jonas are working well together, helping each other as they go.

Ricardo slides his 6th ring into place and begins building his tower, with Dewie hot on his heels.

Phi and Jacob are still working on their 5th pieces.

Ricardo finish his tower!

Dewie finishes his tower!

Ricardo: "Jacob move your piece to the left! Now to the middle!"

Jacob, listening to Ricardo's instructions is almost finished with his tower.

Meanwhile, Dewie is helping Phil get his 6th piece into place.

Kenny and Stan are making up lost ground, almost side by side.

"We're done!"

Jessica walks over and checks and.....

Ricardo and Jacob have won the Endurance Mission!

Ricardo and Jacob, you have won the first Endurance Mission. You will be selecting one team to go to The Temple of Fate and compete for their rite to stay in this game. You have until Sunday at 11 PM site time to put your choice and your reasoning inside of your team confessional. If you do not make a choice on time YOU will be going in, so be quick. You may choose any team to go in.

Temple of Fate Mission 1: Team Building

"Jacob and Ricardo you have won the first Endurance Mission, thus you will be choosing the first team to visit the Temple of Fate."


Ricardo: "We have chosen the Yellow team, Alaina and Vova, to be the first time to go into the Temple."


"Alright, Alaina and Vova please join me up here. You will now be choosing the team you will go against."


Vova: "We're choosing team Brown RQ."


"Jonas and Don, come on up. You will now be choosing what type of mission you'd like to compete in."


Jonas: "Don and I feel most confident in Endurance, so let's do it up!"


"Yellow vs Brown in an Endurance showdown. Today we'll be testing your abilities to both work together as a team and your mental endurance. Your goal is going to be to build this tower as high and as wide as you can in 48 hours."


Both teams jump out to at the start. Brown jumps to a huge lead, but Yellow isn't far behind. After 14 hours Brown starts to slow, and Yellow begins to slowly catch up. Both teams are racing it out towards the end until the whistle blows......


One stack is clearly both taller and wider than the other.....
























With a grand total of 2073 blocks.......

Jonas and Don have won the Temple Mission!



Alaina and Vova, unfortunately this will end your time in this game. You tried your hardest, but it just wasn't enough.

"Jonas and Don, you will be continuing in this game. Congratulations."

Brown: 2073

Yellow: 1003

Samadhi Mission 2:

"Alright guys, today you're going to be playing in your second Samadhi mission, but first things first. Jacob and Ricardo, since you won the first Temple mission you will be recieving another Pyramid piece, the 'Karma' piece. Karma goes a long way in this game whether you believe in it or not. The team you chose was the first eliminated, but there's no telling how that could affect your game as a whole. Hopefully it's positive."


"Now to the actual competition. Today you and your partner will be working together to solve a puzzle. It's a really simple mission for a really simple cast : ^ )."

For this mission: You will PM Bryan or myself to give you the mission. Joey will no longer be a member of production, per his own decision. If you get the mission from Bryan please include me in the PM, ty : ^). Regardless, you and your teammate will be doing this together. It should only take 15-20 minutes, not nearly as long as the other one. No flash required at all btw. 48 hours, or until Friday at 10 pm Site Time.

Samadhi Mission 2: Another Fun Word Scramble

"All right guys, today you're going to be working together as pairs to solve a sectional puzzle. Almost all the pieces can fit in any section, but there's only one solution where they all fit together correctly. The team who finishes first will be able to give out the Samadhi to whoever they see fit."

The teams nod their heads in approval and get ready to go at their stations.

The whistle blows and the Blue team immediately beings talking about how hard this is and give up.

The Pink and Gray teams are off to a quick start, with the Brown team not trailing far behind.

The Black team gets the first part of their puzzle, 'Teamwork', but is it correct?

Orange: "We think the first part spells out 'To', actually we're sure.

The teams are still racing, Back and Pink are neck and neck.

Black begins to pull ahead, they have 8 of the 10 sections done.

"We are an example of how great teamwork breeds success!"....

Mel and Belen have finished their puzzle!

Mel and Belen you have 24 hours (or until 7:30 site time on Saturday) to tell me who you wish to give the Samadhi to. You will give your choice and reasoning in your team confessional.

 Official Scores:

Green: 17:11
Black: 18:40
Pink: 40:48
Gray: 54:20
Brown: 1:12:00

Endurance Mission 2:

The teams wait outside of the Hut for the Green Team's decision.


Mel: "We chose a random number between 1-9, and unfortunately the Purple team will be receiving the Samadhi."


Daquan smashes open the Samadhi urn and reads the note within. "You will receive a heavy penalty on the Endurance Mission."


"Now that that is taken care of, lets get to today's mission. Today you and your partner will work together to solve a simple puzzle. However, your puzzle pieces are attached to those buoys out in the water. One of you will swim out and retrieve all of your pieces. Once you collect them all your partner will complete the puzzle."

For this mission: There are two parts. Decide which one of you will be doing the maze and which will be doing the unscramble among yourselves. I 100% promise the unscramble will not be hard and the maze has a 20 minutes time limit. You MUST complete the unscramble before you will be given the maze, so plan accordingly. Daquan and Alad, because of your disadvantage, you will have 5 minutes added to your final time. You must complete this by Tuesday at 9 p.m site time. I will be available all night as well as all night tomorrow. PLEASE try and get this completed in one of those two nights as I will be basically unavailable on Tuesday. As always you may PM Bryan for the comp, but no promises. If you PM Bryan be sure to include me in the PM as well!

Endurance Mission 2: Build a Bridge

Today you and your partner will be working individyally. One partner will run out to the sand pit over there and collect pieces if a bridge. You will run them back to your mat. Once you have collected all 10 your partner will begin building the bridge. The pieces are a puzzle however. You must figure out the correct order so that you may pass unhindered. Any questions? The teams nod and get ready.


All of the teams race to collect their pieces. Belen, Jon and Nate are back with their first pieces quickly.

Phil and Ricardo are digging all their pieces up first before heading back.

Youngmark is the first back with his 3rd piece. It looks like Black and Brown are in the lead.

Ricardo and Phil are still working on digging their pieces up.. I count 7 each.

Kenny races back with his 7th piece.

Ricardo all of a sudden gets up and begins carrying back his pieces. Phil is not far behind.

The two quickly catch up to the rest of the teams and go into the lead.

Ricardo drops his last piece and Jacob begins working on his puzzle bridge.

Jacob gets his first 3 pieces in no problem.

Dewie begins working. 

Dewie is making quick work of the puzzle.

Nate has dropped off his 10th piece.

Dewie is at 7, Jacob at 5 and Jc quickly gets to 4.

Dewie is at his 9th piece with Jc close behind at 7. Jacob had fallen behind.

Dewie finishes his bridge and skips across. Phil tosses him a juice box and he nonchalantly stabs the straw in. "Easy".

Dewie and Phil have won the Endurance Mission

Purple – lmao did not compete again.

Alright so, Alad and Daquan. This is the second time you haven't completed a challenge. Alad, I know you tried to get it from me tonight but as I said on Sunday, I was not available to give it out. You didn't even attempt to contact Bryan from what I know. I was here for basically two whole days to give this out and you didn't take advantage of that. Daquan, you PM'd me and asked me to give you "the lowest score possible on the maze" which low-key made me wanna DQ you from there. Either way, neither one of you completed the challenge and thus you will be eliminated from the game. Please post in your confessional the team that you wish to leave your Pyramid piece to. Thank you.


Dewie and Phil, since you are the winners of the mission, you will have until Wednesday at 11 pm site time to tell me who the first team you wish to send into the Temple of Fate is. Please tell me in your team confessional who you wish to send in, as well as your reasoning.
