Endurance Amazon! (All Episodes Here)

[e3hoohoo9]

Last time on Endurance Amazon:
Despite receiving the Samadhi in the first Temple Mission, the Orange team overcame the odds and won:
Landon: YEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!
Karina: Oh my God! AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!
The shift of power turned the group upside-down and emotions ran high:
Brielle: I don't wanna think about going home now.
In the end, they chose to send up the Red and Blue teams to be the first ones to face elimination at the Temple of Fate, and Colleen swore revenge if she returned:
Colleen: I swear, if I return from the Temple; you will SO be the next team to leave!
At the Temple, Red team proved victorious, making the Blue team to be the first team eliminated from the game:
Blue team disappears behind the flames.
Today, the teams will face a shocking twist after a surprising turn of events:
Angela: No way!
Jahmil: Whoa!
Will Trust promote some teams and prove critical and costly for others?
Find out as we see who possesses the greatest Endurance!

JD walks towards the huts:
JD: Come out, everyone!
The teams walk out of the huts and sit down next to JD.
JD: How'd everyone sleep last night? Was it good?
All: Yeah.
JD: Well, last night, we lost our first team. It was the Blue team that was eliminated. Now, Red team, how'd it feel being up at the Temple?
Devon: It was really nervewracking, but it was bittersweet at the same time because the Blue team was leaving, but I'm still happy that we're here.
JD: Well, they did leave behind their pyramid piece, Commitment; and a note after they were eliminated. Colleen, why don't you read it?

Blue Team's letter:

Dear everyone who's still in the competition,

Firstly, what we wanna say is that we had an amazing time in the jungles of Colombia. We made so many bonds with all of you that can't ever be separated and forgotten. Orange team, even though you sent us up, we're cool with you guys and you can stay strong all the way! To the Purple, Yellow and Green teams: You guys are really honest and true to everyone, especially the Green team. Gray and Brown: You 2 were the 2 that were the closest to us after Orange, and we feel you're real nice and sweet to be around. Lastly, the Red team: You guys rock more than anyone here. You're beasts but you're still our best friends regardless. And thusly, our Commitment piece is yours; use it well! We want everyone to not target a team like us because of the fact that you knew us as 2 kids who were in an argument, but as 2 teens who were trying to work out our differences.

Lots of love,
The Blue Team- Sean and Nicholette

Devon: Alright!
JD: Red team, you're now in a tie for first place with Purple now that you have that piece. But, I'm sorry to say that I have unfortunate news today.
Everyone mutters.
JD: Today, we are gonna be playing another Temple Mission.
Everyone gasps and looks shocked.
JD: That's right. At the end of today, the winner will be sending 2 teams to enter the temple, were one team will no longer be part of Endurance. Think it over and get yourselves psyched up and I'll see you at the mission.

Int. Colleen: For a few moments last night, I was thinking that me and Devon would be eliminated, but I'm glad that we came back and got the Blue team's piece.

In the huts:
Troy: it's gonna be really weird to send home 2 more teams tonight.
Angela: I know.
Brayden: Anyone feel kinda bad that we targeted Blue so much now?
Brielle: Mm-hmm.
Karina: But nicholette was being really annoying and harsh towards Sean and they played the game wrong!
Devon: At least I was the only one who liked Sean!
Zachary: I can just honestly say that I was one of the people who went along with this 'cause everyone else was going after Blue.
Meredith: Exactly 'cause no one can get mad at Orange for this because everyone wanted to see Blue team leave.
Danielle: Yeah, 'cause we were just one team made up of Brown, Green, Red, Purple and Yellow and we just wanted to go against Gray, Blue and Orange but mostly Blue.
Jason: She's right 'cause all of us made the decision together on who was gonna go to temple and what we did to Blue was unfair and it shouldn't have happened.
Jessie: And as of now, everyone is officially friends and be individually making decisions 'cause we can't bully a team and ultimately knock 'em outta the game.
Landon: Up until now, we've all been one huge team against Blue team and now that we don't have them to pick on, and just don't be mad if you go to tonight's Temple.
Angela: And another thing is that we don't have any choices to make together and we need to be friends when you think about it 'cause it's just the game.

Con. Landon: We knew it wasn't a good thing to create all this bad karma for Blue and that's how they left. Now that today's another Temple Mission, we're sending 2 teams by strategy and not personal reasons.

At the mission:
JD: Hey guys!
All: Hey!
JD: I think you all felt pretty shocked when I told you we were playing a Temple Mission today, right?
All: Yeah.
JD: Well, here's how today's mission is gonna work. In private you'll each answer questions about how well you know one another and then we'll play the game and figure out the whole questionnaire. The answer will be based on what the majority out you thought. If it's right, you can cover off one of the squares on the board in front of you. Each team has exactly 8 squares in their column and if they're completely obscured off, you're out. Last team left will win the power to send 2 teams to the Temple. You ready?
All: Yeah!
JD: Now go ahead and answer your questions.
...
JD: Okay, now that you've answered the questions and now it's time to reveal those answers. The first question is: Which team knows the show the best?
Brown- Green
Gray- Purple
Green- Orange
Orange-yellow
Purple-Orange
Red-Orange
Yellow-Orange
JD: The correct answer was Orange because they're the biggest fans out of everyone.
Landon: Of course we are!
JD: So now you can block off anyone's squares individually.
Green gets Orange and Gray; Purple gets Brown and Gray; Red gets Orange and Gray; Yellow gets Orange and Brown
JD: The next question is: Which team is willing to do anything to win? Go ahead and reveal your answers.
Brown-Purple
Gray-Red
Green- Gray
Orange-Red
Purple-Orange
Red-Orange
Yellow-Orange
JD: The correct answer was Red and anyone who had it right can block off anyone they want.
Orange gets Red and Yellow; Gray gets Purple and Green
JD: The next question is: Which team could swap players if they were able to? Show your answers.
Brown-Red
Gray-Red
Green- Brown
Orange-Red
Purple-Brown
Red-Brown
Yellow-Brown
JD: The correct answer was Brown. Okay, anyone who had this one correct can now block off squares.
Green, Yellow and Red all get Orange and Brown; Purple gets Gray and Brown
JD: Okay, the following question is: Which team will be next to leave this game?
Brown-Red
Gray-Red
Green- Gray
Orange-Red
Purple-Gray
Red-Gray
Yellow-Orange
JD: The correct answer was Gray which means anyone who wrote that can now obscure anyone's squares.
Green and Red get Brown and Orange; Purple gets Gray
JD: And now, Orange team is out of the game; Gray and Brown are 3 squares away from losing. Next question is: Which team is the most honest?
Brown-Green
Gray-Green
Green-Yellow
Purple-Gray
Red-Yellow
Yellow-Purple
JD: The correct answer was Green which means anyone with that answer can now eliminate anyone they want.
Brown gets Purple and Yellow; Gray gets Green and Red
JD: The next question is: Which team is physically strong?
Brown-Purple
Gray-Orange
Green-Yellow
Purple-Yellow
Red-Yellow
Yellow-Red
JD: The correct answer was Yellow, which means anyone with the answer I said can block off a square.
Green and Red get Gray and Brown, Purple gets Green and Brown
JD: And now that Gray and Brown are now out of the game, the 4 teams that kinda began this game are gonna finish it all up by themselves. The next question is: Which team is the smartest?
Green-Orange
Purple-Orange
Red-Green
Yellow-Orange
JD: They all said Orange and it's correct! Go ahead and block off a square.
Green and Yellow get Purple and Red; Purple and Red get Green and Yellow
JD: Here's the next question: Which team is in charge as of now?
Green-Red
Purple-Purple
Red-Orange
Yellow-Orange
JD: The correct answer was Orange so that means anyone with that answer gets to block off a square. I gotta feeling this might be it here!
Yellow gets Green and Purple; Red gets Yellow and Purple
JD: Green and Purple are gone, which leaves us down to our 2 teams: Yellow and Red. Whoever gets this final question right automatically wins and guarantees themselves a few more days on Endurance. Here it is: Which team is the most honest?
Red-Green
Yellow-Gray
JD: The correct answer was Green, which means the Red team wins!
Devon: Yes!
Red team hugs
JD: Red team, you guys in one day have gone from up at the Temple, facing elimination to complete control of the game. You now have to only decide 2 teams to send to the Temple of Fate, where 2 will go up, but only 1 returns. I'll see you later for your decision at the island.

Int. Brielle: We were sorta letting Red do our dirty work becuase we have friendship with certain teams that aren't in our alliance and we didn't wanna get Orange and Gray mad at us because Orange saved our backs yesterday and we aren't gonna break promises.
Int. Landon: I dunno what Meredith was thinking about getting those questions wrong to help Red win. And if she didn't wanna make an enemy, we coulda won and gotten outta going to the Temple tonight.
Con. Zachary: I'm so upset right now. I shouldn't have followed her; I shouldn't've thrown the game to make Red win, it should've been Orange! We had it sealed and now Gray and Orange are definitely going and that's our allies. This is just fantastic!!

Red, Yellow and Purple are talking on the hammocks:
Troy: I'm so happy you won today!
Colleen: So am I!
Devon: We can now pick off the losers! Mwahahahah!!!
Colleen: So you know that we should pick our own teams?
Jason: If you ask me, I think the 2 people going are Orange and Gray.
Angela: I mean Devon, you're good friends with Orange, Gray and Brown, but they're the weaker teams and we want them out!
Brielle: I really think he knows 'cause you gotta choose a team and he's gotta choose a team. It's the only way that makes it fair.
Devon: I don't want Orange to go!
Colleen: You already realize that they're going, and you can't make me change my mind about sending orange!
Jason: I think that if you send them up, you might really hurt 'em. Say, why don't you talk to them, alright?
Devon: Okay.
He walks to the huts.

Gray, Orange and Brown are talking in the huts:
Brayden: We already know that Orange is for sure, going, but Red's still deciding on the second team.
karina: I wish it wasn't us!
Landon: Yeah, we haven't proven that much!
Jessie: But you did win yesterday and then sent them up. That pretty much made us a target.
Meredith: I just don't want Colleen to send me, anyway.
Zachary: Why's that?
Meredith: 'Cause at the beginning, me and Colleen secretly promised never to vote off one another.
Zachary: You can't always keep that! She's eventually gotta send you!
Devon walks into the hut.
Devon: I don't wanna do this. I can't eliminate any of my friends!
Brayden: Don't let it get to you, you just gotta do it.
Devon: I mean, I know that you're going, and I really want Orange to come back, but Colleen's thinking it as an opposite.
Landon: There was in fact a temple strategy that us and Gray devised in case we were sent up.
Devon: Well, what was it?
Karina: It was that if you're to win the first round, pick the same element and one of us wins. Just don't tell 'er, okay?
Devon: I do feel bad about this and I'm good friends with y'all, but this has gotta be made!

At the island:
JD: Come on and take a seat, everyone. Now, the Red team won today and Orange team, you guys sent 'em up yesterday. Do you think that makes you a target?
Karina: I really hope it doesn't even though Red's against us.
JD: You know why we're all here. We're now gonna find out which 2 teams will be getting a first look at the Temple. Red team, what's your decision?
Colleen: Well, we were stuck between a strategic one and a personal one. But we ended up picking one team, and I select Gray.....
Devon:........And I selected Orange to join them.
Orange and Gray look upset
JD: As I can see, this came as a shock but this needs to occur. Orange team, Gray team, you have a few hours to pack your things, say your goodbyes, we leave at sunset. I'll see you at the Temple of Fate.

Back in the huts:
Jessie: I really didn't wanna go up there.
Devon: I didn't feel right doing it, but I gotta do what I gotta do.
Jason: You shouldn't cry about this.
Karina: (sobs) How can I?! I knew that Colleen wanted me out, while Devon just gave into her!
Jahmil: Don't try and vilify her! She didn't make the whole decision, Devon had a say, too!
Colleen: I know you're upset, guys, but I'm really sorry and if I wanna win, I have to send one of you home.
Brielle: Awwwww!! I'm gonna miss you both a lot!
Troy: A lot, and we really want one of you to come back!
Zachary: He's right, we don't want you to go. Because I understand that if one of you leaves, you won't have anyone to talk to.
Landon: (sighs) Let's just overcome this 'cause we aren't done yet.

Outside the huts, everyone is hugging, crying and saying bye:
Orange and Gray walk into the rainforest towards the Temple of fate.
Kids: Bye guys! We love you!

Int. Brayden: When I first came here, I just though this game would be smooth sailing. But then I learned that Endurance is tougher than I think and I just wanna be friends with everyone. If we're to return from temple, we gotta try to step it up in challenges because we got a lotta game left.
Int. Jessie: I think I'm gonna cry a lot when Orange leaves because we're just so close and.....I dunno how I'm gonna play the game without them. But, it is sad knowing it's a 50-50 chance of staying and that you could be the one that goes home.
Int. Landon: I do wanna stay in the game and make it to the final 2, but either way, it's lose-lose because if either us or gray leaves, we'll be affected greatly. I think we deserve to stay more than the remaining teams right now.
Int. Karina: I feel really scared and disappointed going to the Temple because we're so close to Gray. And if it comes down to it, I gotta try my hardest, even it means sending them home, which is gonna feel so horrible no matter what.

At the Temple of Fate:
JD: Welcome to the temple of Fate. This is the most feared place on Endurance. For both teams, it's your first trek here and for one of you, it'll be your last. In front of you are 3 cauldrons: one with fire, one with water, one with wood. You'll write down your elements on a piece of bamboo, and I'll drop them into the burning kettle behind me. As you all know, fire burns wood, wood floats in water and water puts out the fire. The first team to select the dominant element twice will be going back to the huts; the other team is gonna be eliminated immediately. Go ahead and grab your first piece of bamboo.

Shows the teams whispering and writing things down

Brayden: We should do water.
Jessie: Yeah, because I think that Orange may pick fire.

Karina: You sure we should do fire?
Landon: I'm very sure.
Karina: You're really sure?
Landon: Yeah.

Teams hand their elements to JD, who then drops them in the kettle

JD: Okay, can we please reveal who has the dominant element?

Gray: Wood
Orange: Fire
Landon: Yes!
Orange team hugs
JD: Orange team, you picked fire, Gray team, you picked wood; fire burns wood, so that's one win for you. Gray team, if you lose the next one, you'll be leaving Endurance. Go ahead and choose your second element.

Shows the teams whispering and writing things down

Jessie: i think I'll pick this time.
Brayden: Let's write it...

Karina: Okay, I trust you now. You pick.
Landon: I think we need to do the same...

Teams hand their elements to JD, who then drops them in the kettle

JD: Okay, Orange, if you're to win this one, you'll be back in the game. Gray team, you need to win to force a tie. may we please see who has the dominant element!

Gray: Wood
Orange: Fire
Karina: Oh!
Landon: We did it!
Orange hugs
Jessie: Oh my gosh. (starts crying)
Brayden: It's okay.
He hugs her.
JD: Oh, it was exactly the same! You each chose the same element again; the wood burns. Orange team, you guys are headed back to the huts. Gray team, I'm sorry to say, you've been eliminated. You should be proud of what you've accomplished and the way you played with heart and honesty. I'm sure you won't be forgotten.

Orange and Gray hug goodbye
Landon: Gray, you were so spectacular!
Karina: (cries) I love you, jessie!
jessie: (cries) I love you too the most!
Brayden: Do good in the game and take it all the way, my man!
Landon: I will.

Gray team disappears behind the flames.

JD: Well, Orange team, all I gotta say is congrats! You have survived the Temple of Fate. Another fact that you're no weak team, you're real strong as of now. head on back and show 'em who's the boss!

Around the campfire:
Jason: They're coming now!
Danielle: I'm real scared!
Orange comes running from the bridge
Landon: HEEEERE'S ORANGE!!!!!!!
Everyone hugs Orange and celebrates.

Red team used their power to separate close friends and sent Orange and Gray to the Temple of fate.
At the Temple, the Gray team's journey came to an end as they became the second team to be eliminated from the game:

JD walks towards the huts:
JD: Come on out, guys!
The teams come out and sit on the steps
JD: Well, I think we should all have a talk. Last night was your second elimination in a row. The Gray team, unfortunately, suffered the consequences. I think we can all agree that Orange team was the one closest to them, and they were upset to see them go. Especially you, Karina. You took it very hard, yet you're still here. How does it feel?
Karina: It feels so marvelous we're back, but it's sad knowing that Jessie, the only one I could talk to is gone.
JD: Well, they did leave behind their Strength pyramid piece and a note, which I'll let Landon read.
Landon: Okay!

Gray team's letter:

To all of our really good friends,

We had an awesome experience with all of you, mostly Orange. This has been the time of my life and I'm glad I got to know all of you.

Brown team, you guys deserved to return from being eliminated because you're an alright team and we know the only reason we had to leave because of Red giving you the free pass. I mean what in their right mind would make them give it to you?!

Yellow and Purple teams, you're both such great people and have a lot of potential in winning a lot of missions. You gotta work real hard because sometime your alliance will end becuase I don't feel Red is acting all loyal to either of you. If we were in your shoes, we'd team up with Orange to pick off Red and Brown.

Green team, you guys are the most quiet out of anyone here and the most honest. You can keep it up and be nice 'cause it's right to do. The thing you really oughta do now is step it up and make yourselves a strategy so you won't be the next team to get sent home.

Red team, you guys are a TOTAL WRECK!!! Especially you, Colleen. You're not strong or smart to not be disrespectful. The only thing you can do is manipulate people so they can boot you off eventually. If you wanna lie and behave like an extreme hag, you might as well get eliminated in the next temple Mission. Devon, you're so wonderful and we know the struggles you're facing with her. Poor you because you aren't trying to overrule her and be smart. Just step it up, be a man and DO NOT let your instincts get screwed up by Colleen, who is currently demolishing your game. I hope karma smacks you down HARD, Colleen!

Lastly, Orange team, We love you both like family and you don't deserve to be underestimated by that shrewd alliance. It was REAL CRAZY goig against what was the closest friend we had. You've been trustworthy to us and you have a lot more strength than any of the remaining teams. Show those ungrateful tormentors that being here has taught both of you a lot! You really speak the truth and your mind, and that's pretty much what the Endurance champ needs.
Orange, you will be receiving our pyramid piece 'cause you had a close friendship with us and we know you can do it.
Everyone else, when you send a team to Temple, dont' send by how quiet or cool they are, it's gotta be based on how they perform in the missions.

Lots of love,
The Gray team,
Brayden and Jessie

Colleen: What?!
Devon: That's a shocker!
Karina: I can't believe we got their piece!
JD: Well, they certainly did make it clear in what they said about the game in their note. Y'know, it takes a lot of strength to play this game out here, braving the very elements and maintaining friendship. Orange team, with that piece, you are now tied for first with Red and Purple with 2 pieces. The others have only 1. Now, today, I've got a twist in store for you.
Everyone mutters
JD: Today, we are playing for another piece, but there will be no Samadhi for the winner of the mission.
Jason: What?!
JD: That's right. The winner of the mission will get the piece and the power to shift this competition in their favor. Think it over and I'll see you later at the mission.

Endurance Amazon Teams and Pieces:
Brown team: Zachary and Meredith=Perseverance
Purple team: Troy and Angela=Teamwork and Discipline
Red team: Devon and Colleen=Friendship and Commitment
Yellow team: Jason and Brielle=Heart
Orange team: Landon and Karina=Knowledge and Strength
Green team: Jahmil and Danielle=Trust

---

Con. Landon: It feels really great to have 2 pieces like everyone else. Mostly Strength 'cause Gray was right. If we want a good chance of winning, we need to be mentally and physically strong. And I hope that comes in handy later on today so we can prove that we can't be targeted.

In the huts:
Colleen: That was so mean!
Danielle: I know!
Troy: You only said it 'cause they said mean things about you.
jason: Yeah, it's true. You were really mean to jessie because she was friends with Karina.
Landon shrugs: At least we got their piece, which thrills me a lot.
Devon: At least I'll still talk to Colleen as long as she agrees with me.
Brielle: It all just depends on whatever she does. And she shouldn't backstab 'cause it's wrong.
Angela: Yeah, just come on Devon. That girl needs a lot of time to get over herself and be honest!
She and Brielle laugh but Colleen doesn't
Colleen: Shut up!
Jahmil: Don't try and be more meaner than you already were.
Zachary: Maybe he's right. This shouldn't be taken lightheartedly, girls.
Meredith: It's true 'cause it's serious and you have to be careful about trusting her.
Zachary walks out, followed by Jason and Troy.
Meredith: You've got something you need to fix, girl.
Meredith gives Colleen a little hug and a pat on the back.
Int. Colleen: I just can't believe what's going on. My own allies and friends say they can't trust me anymore. Maybe it'd be smarter to join up with Orange if they don't trust me.

Yellow, Green and Purple talking in the crow's nest:
Jahmil: What do you think about what Gray said?
Brielle: I got no idea. Do you think Red would target us?
Jason: Devon wouldn't let her be mean. He trusts us wholeheartedly.
Angela: Even though, we gotta step it up and win so we won't have to worry about Colleen.
Danielle: At least thru it all, the 6 of us can stick together.
Troy: Even if one of us gets eliminated.
Int. Jahmil: Even though we have an alliance with Red, the remainder have been tight since the beginning. But now it's a complicated situation where me, Jason and Troy are friends; whereas Danielle, Angela and Brielle are friends; so we're gonna be loyal and true to each other till the end. As it is now, Green, Yellow and Purple all the way! And Red's last...

At the mission:
JD: Hey guys!
All: Hey!
Devon: 'Sup, my man?
Everyone laughs
JD: Alright. I suppose you're thinking about what the prize for winning is today, right?
All: Yeah!
JD: the winner of today's mission gets the Leadership pyramid piece and the power..... to select the SuperTeams!
All mutter.
JD: That's right. The winner of the mission will get the power to divide this game in half. 3 teams on one side, 3 teams on the other. So that means tomorrow's game is gonna be 6 on 6. That also means the winner determines who goes where. Now, onto the mission: As you can see out there, over the water, are 6 long teeter-totters. The seesaws are held steady by a long rope connected to shore. when I say go, 1 player from each team will be sitting on the far side of the seesaw while the other one will have to struggle to keep their partner from falling. If you fall into the water, you're out. The last team in will win the power of the SuperTeam selection and the Leadership piece. Simple enough?
All: Yeah!
JD: Then go ahead and get in position!
Teams do so
JD: Okay, the winner gets the Leadership piece and the power to shift the competition in their favor! On your mark, get set, GO!

......To be Continued...... :]

Brielle: No, Jay! Please! We have to stay!
Yellow team drops their seesaw
JD: That proved way too much for Yellow! Down to the final 2: Purple and Orange!

More time passes by:
JD: You guys've been doing it for 23 minutes! Looks like if either team wins, there's gonna be a major power shift in this game!
Karina: Hang in there, Landon!
Purple nearly falls but recovers
JD: Whoa! What an amazing recovery by Purple!
Angela: You're so tough that you could be here all day!
Troy: Yeah, Orange! You're so weak, so just fall already!!
Landon: Shut your mouth, Troy!
Others: Come on, Purple! You're doing so awesome! yeah!
JD: It looks like Purple is getting a lot of support!
Troy: Oh man! My arm is starting to hurt badly!
Purple shakes and tips a lot and then drops their seesaw
Karina: OH MY GOOOOD!!!
Landon: We did it! WHOOOOO!!!
Orange team hugs
JD: Alright Orange! You guys have won even though they called you weak and they said you wouldn't win, but you showed 'em up. You guys now have the lead with 3 pieces now that you have the Leadership piece, and now you have the power to select the SuperTeams. The team that was once called weak is now strong! Think it over and I'll see you later for your decision.

Orange team: Landon and Karina=Knowledge, Strength and Leadership
Green team: Jahmil and Danielle=Trust

---

Int. Danielle: Today's game was a test of strength and we didn't do so well. To top it all off, the Orange team won and we just keep underestimating them and that's gonna hurt us later on.
Int. Colleen: The last thing I really wanted to see was Orange winning 'cause if any of these colors: Yellow, Red, Green or Purple had won, it'd be so much better than it is now.
Int. Landon: Well, me and Karina just won our second mission today and it feels great to be in the lead! And also having the power to select the SuperTeams is awesome 'cause now I know that the opposing alliance of Green, Yellow, Red and Purple will be broken and they messed with us, so we're gonna do the same.

Purple and Yellow are talking in the huts:
Troy: I still can't believe we lost.
Jason: You did the best you could do, dude. Don't get so low about it.
Troy: You're right, but there was a piece invloved!
Brielle: Well, you almost won, but Orange just won ahead of you.
Angela: Don't feel so bitter about it!
Jason: Another thing is that we might be with Orange 'cause we're the stronger teams.
Troy: I dunno if being on the same SuperTeam with the team that was once weak might be good.
Angela: What I heard was that Green and Red were definitely gonna be on the same SuperTeam, but now Orange's deciding who'll join them.
Troy: You could be right! Being with Orange may compliment us if we win tomorrow.
Brielle: Hopefully we won't have to go Temple and prove we're as strong as them.
Jason laughs

Green and Brown are talking outside the huts:
Danielle: They're so gonna put us with Red.
Zachary: that's no fair! We're destined to lose and get sent to Temple 'cause Purple and Yellow are so strong!
Jahmil: Where's Red, anyway? I wanted to talk to them about what Orange was gonna do.
Zachary: They're probably trying to suck up to Orange so they won't get sent back to temple.
Danielle: There is no way Orange would wanna believe them after last night!
Meredith: That'd work to our advantage. If Orange doesn't feel civilized with Red, then we might stay around.
Jahmil: But then they're gonna send us to Temple with Red!
Danielle: True, this isn't good.

Red, Orange, Yellow and Purple are all talking in the crow's nest:
Devon: So, do you know who's gonna be on what SuperTeam?
Landon: Not really, but one things for sure is that Green and Brown will be on the same SuperTeam but we need someone to go with 'em.
Angela: Well, Green and Brown do know what we're doing 'cause they see us.
Troy: Except they don't know yet.
Colleen: I hope I join you guys 'cause we'd make the strongest team.
Karina: I'll be okay with anything as long as I'm not put with you!
Jason: Why don't you wanna be with them?
Karina: 'Cause they're the reason our best friends were eliminated last night and I can't trust them to be on my SuperTeam! They might throw the game for us!
Colleen: Well, so what if we eliminated Gray yesterday?! I had to make that choice even though it was hard.
Brielle: There shouldn't be any reason to not trust them even though we really can't change your mind.
Troy: She might be right. After what happened last night, you realized they couldn't be trustworthy.
Landon: Just stop worrying about it and just hope you win tomorrow, okay?

Orange and Brown are talking on the hammocks:
Zachary: Do you know what you're doing?
Landon: Yeah, we do. We're gonna put us, Yellow and Purple on the same SuperTeam so our choices can pay off.
Meredith: What if it doesn't work? You're definitely likely to return to temple if you lose.
Karina: At least we'll be making a smart choice by joining up with Purple and Yellow.
Zachary: You have gotta be kidding me!! Me and Meredith are the only ones who stayed close to you all this time and then you backstab us?! I mean, what in your right mind would make you think the alliance is better?! Who do you 2 think you are, sending us to the weaker teams! It's so unfair!!
Meredith: Chill out! It's no big deal, it's their decision!
Landon: Yeah, Zack! Why are you just chewing us out for what we gotta do?!!
Zachary: I'm not chewing you out!
Karina: Oh, shut up! You're yelling your butt off at us for no apparent reason!
Zachary: All I want is our friendship to stay intact!
Karina: We know, but if we wanna win, we have to do this!
Landon: And WHAT ELSE?!!!!
Zachary: WHAAAT?!!!!!
Landon: You just ruined your chance on being teamed up with us!
Zachary storms out in anger
Int. Zachary: Urgh!! Orange is quite frankly making me angry 'cause they're not trying to obtain friendship and be with us. They're the only ones we're close to after Green I hope that this won't separate us.
Int. Karina: I know the Brown team is having hard feelings about us not being on the same page, but they've gotta understand that this is a game and that I wanna win, but that this is what i gotta do for the game.

At the island:
JD: Come on up and take a seat. How're we all?
All: Good.
JD: Well, I think we should talk for a minute. Now, so far, the Orange team's pretty much unstoppable. They overcame the samadhi, won 2 missions and they've survived the Temple of Fate. Now, today was interesting not just because of their victory, but in the Gray team's letter, it said directly to you, Devon, that you need to stand up to your partner. Have you been doing that?
Devon: (laughs nervously) sorta. All she does is just take the drama away. She does speak her mind a little better than I do.
JD: Colleen, what's your take on this?
Colleen: Y'know he's right, but honestly I got no idea.
JD: Whaddaya mean?
Colleen: My allies have been isolating themselves from me. And so has my own partner! They think I'm gonna manipulate and backstab them!
JD: Really, Devon?
Devon: i just think she's letting her ego and personality get involved in the game and it's hindering her loyalty and we're only cautious.
JD: Okay, then. I hope you can sort it out. Let's just get down to business already, okay? Before you tell me, Orange team, was it a hard decision?
Karina: It wasn't really that hard to make.
JD: Okay, then. I think I have an idea of who's with whom. Orange team, which teams will make up the SuperTeams?
Landon: Okay. On our SuperTeam, we've decided that...........Purple and Yellow will join us.
Karina: And it's Green, Brown and Red on the other.
JD: Okay, that's a great way to select! Okay, remember: if your SuperTeam wins tomorrow, you're all safe. If yours loses, 2 out of that SuperTeam will be heading to the Temple of fate. And that means another team is going home tomorrow. Get a good night's sleep and I'll see you tomorrow.

Int. Zachary: I'm totally not looking forward to tomorrow. Especially knowing that our own best friends left us out in the cold! Because of that, we're definitely gonna lose. It's like the titans against the weaklings, so we just gotta hope and win.

Next time on Endurance Amazon:
The superteams face off in another temple mission:
Shows the teams sliding along a track.
And with another elimination on the line, one SuperTeam desperately needs to win:
Danielle: If we don't win, we're definitely going to the Temple.
And a close friendship will shock everyone as the teams become weary of one team's loyalty:
Devon: We might lose our alliance with yellow, purple and green. I won't desert any of them!
Troy: Colleen's being so mean and stupid!
Who will prevail and who'll be next to exit from the Temple of Fate?
Find out next time on Endurance Amazon!

SuperTeams:
Orange, Purple and Yellow
Brown, Green and Red

Author's note: Sorry for not writing in a while, I've had a lot of business. I hope you can all get involved and comment again!

[e3hoohoo9]

Last time on Endurance Amazon:
In a critical Endurance Mission, the Orange team came back with a vengeance and shocked everyone by winning:
Karina: OH MY GOOOOD!!!
Landon: We did it!
And with the Orange team having the power to select SuperTeams, the alliance realized they'd be separated for the rest of the game:
Troy: I dunno if being on the same SuperTeam with the team that was once weak might be good.
And the Orange team's decision caused Zachary to crack:
Zachary: I mean, what in your right mind would make you think the alliance is better?! Who do you 2 think you are, sending us to the weaker teams!
But in the end, Orange decided to choose the 2 strongest teams to compete among them in the following Temple Mission.
Today, the 2 SuperTeams will face off to win the Temple Mission. The teams are:
the powerhouse of Yellow, Purple and Orange
and the underdogs of Green, Brown and Red
Who has the Leadership to be the winning SuperTeam?
Find out as we see who possesses the greatest Endurance!

Int. Jason: I'm feeling really confident about today. I'm, by far, on the stronger SuperTeam and we're definitely gonna win for sure.
Int. Meredith: I think Orange made a good decision on selecting the SuperTeams, but I think it was wrong for them to just leave us out in the cold.
Int. Danielle: I know everyone's expecting us to lose and hopefully they get too headstrong and we can give them the shock of their lives.
Int. Karina: I know Brown team's really bitter at us for what happened yesterday, but they should put it aside and try to focus on winning because I know if they lose they might go to Temple.

At the mission:
JD: Come on down everyone!
The teams walk forward and stand in their Superteams: Orange, Purple, Yellow and Brown, Green, Red.
JD: Alright! I'm excited for today's mission and I bet you are too, guys!
All: Yeah!
JD: Well, maybe we'll explain the game now. As you can see out there is a long 250m track marked out thru the grass. The teams will start on this end and everyone will be strung together at the waist, while the leader is trussed to a long rope that spans the width of the track. When I say go, you're gonna move yourselves along the track, passing thru the rope maze without getting stuck at any of the obstacles or double rods. Whenever you come to those rods, you gotta find a way to maneuver them while staying on the path. The object of this game is to run to the other side and then return as long as possible for 2 times. The first team to make it back wins immunity and power to select 2 of the 3 teams from the losing superteam to the Temple of Fate. Worth playing for?
All: Yeah!
JD: Okay, then! Well, let's get straight to it then!
...
JD: Alright, guys! You're playing for immunity for your entire Superteam! On your mark, get set, GO!
Teams head into the forest-maze while sliding on the track.
Devon: We need to go quick!
Jahmil: Yeah, we can do this!
Jason: Whoa! These rods are closer than I thought!
Troy: We've got this, guys!
Karina: The swifter we run, the faster it take and less longer than the other teams!

JD: The teams are coming to the halfway mark and it looks like Green, Red and Brown have a lead! Oh! But now it looks like the other team's ahead! Keep going!

Landon: We're ahead of 'em! Just keep it up and we'll win!
The superteams get to the far side of the track, and they start sliding thru the final thatch of rods.
Angela: Just slide thru them more quicker and it's ours!

JD: The Yellow, Orange and Purple teams haven overtaken the lead, and now it looks like Red, Green and Brown are stuck!

Zachary: Come on, you guys! We gotta pick up the pace or they'll catch up to us!
Meredith: It's getting too hard!
Danielle: I don't know how much longer I can do this!
Colleen: Come on, move! Our fate depends on winning this game!!

JD: It now looks like the Red team's really trying to make Brown and Green move! They're stuck and beginning to slow down now!

Brielle: Look! We're starting to catch up to them!
Jason: We gotta keep this pace steady; they're only gonna get slower.

JD: Purple, Orange and Yellow are now on the home stretch to winning this! And it now looks like the other teams can't figure out a way to work together; they need to speed up if they wanna win this!

Meredith: It's too much.
Colleen: (annoyed) Oh my gosh!! Move it along, Meredith, you're really going slow!!
Zachary: She's right!! MOVE IT!!!!!

Landon: We're nearly there!
Troy: Lookit! We're just a couple of steps away and we can get on the square!
Yellow, Orange and Purple make it to the square while Green, Brown and Red start to lag behind and then collapse.
Angela: Yes!
Karina: We won!
Jason: Yeah man!
Brielle: Whooooooooo!!!!!!
Yellow, Purple and Orange celebrate, cheer and hug.
JD: Alright! That was so amazing! You guys're really tough! You guys did it and now you're all invincible from elimination. Now, all of you have to unanimously decide which 2 teams from the losing superteam will be headed up to the temple of Fate. As for Brown, Green and Red, I'm sorry to say that 2 of you will be making the journey to the Temple of Fate tonight. I'll see you all later for your decision.

Con. Brielle and Angela:
Brielle: Oh my gosh! I am so excited!!
Angela: I can't believe we won!
Both: We won, we won, we won!! WHOOOOO!!!
Con. Danielle: I'm just so upset right now that we lost. Mostly at Brown and Red because they weren't even trying and now that we lost, Green team is for sure going to Temple along with one of them.

Orange, Yellow and Purple talking in the huts:
Troy: That was so amazing! We came out on top again!
Landon: And the fact that we're all safe from elimination!
Karina: But it's also got its downside 'cause we have to select 2 teams to send up to the Temple.
Jason: So it's Green and Brown then?
Angela: No.....I think it was Green and Red.
Brielle: Yeah, well we'd all decided they'd be our next targets.
Jason: But why Red team?
Brielle: You know why! They're weaker than Brown and they're starting to have a lot of problems.
Troy: It's true. There's no reason to send Brown because they're the weakest team here.
Angela: And Green's becoming a threat because they're not proving anything to anybody and they aren't carrying their own weight.
Karina: it's an obvious choice. Red and Green.
Jason: No! We shouldn't send red!
Landon: What for?
Jason: No we shouldn't send them because they're our best friends and they haven't really been a threat to anyone.
Brielle: And another thing is that this is a team choice, and it's 5-1! We can only pray that they'll return if we send them.
Troy: Y'know, he's right! Sending Red and Green isn't a good choice because friendship does come first but this is strategic and what we gotta do together.
Jason: I'm not ready to have them desert me. So, again, it's Green and Brown, right?
All: Agreed!
They shake hands

Green, Brown and Red talking outside the huts:
Devon: Man that mission was tough!
Jahmil: Yeah, everyone estimated that they'd win.
Danielle: Well, what's worse enough is that my team has no way of getting out of this.
Zachary: It's obvious that Green's going, but Red should go too.
Meredith: What for?
Zachary: 'Cause they've been disloyal to us because Colleen sorta likes Jason.
Jahmil: What?!
Colleen: Okay, it's true. I like him! I'm only doing it so I won't have to go back to the Temple.
Danielle: That might work to your advantage. They won't send you and would wanna keep their alliance with you.
Devon: But, in other words, it's really crushing 'cause one out of the 3 of us, you might never see again.
Colleen: At least I won't be betraying anyone. We still gotta get rid of competitors anyway.
Devon: I know, but I'm warning you: Don't you dare try and tell Yellow and Purple about our secret alliance with Brown or we'll lose our alliance with them. I won't let them desert me!

Int. Meredith: I'm feeling really comfortable. We shouldn't have to go to the Temple. We haven't done anything that good yet.
Int. Jahmil: I'm really nervous about their decision, knowing that I'm definitely heading up. I just hope our alliance is able to survive this.

At the island:
JD: Come on up and take a seat. So, how'd you like the superteam mission?
Devon: It was really hard.
Zachary: Yeah, well, Yellow, Orange and purple are all so tough for winning and doing great.
JD: Well, that's what Endurance is all about. It's about pushing yourself to the limits even when you think you can't do it. But, now it's time to hear the superteam's decision on who's going to the Temple of Fate. Yellow, on behalf of your Superteam, can you tell us who will be heading up to the Temple of Fate?
Jason: First off, it was a very hard decision for us. I mean even though everyone here's on the same page, we think 2 different ways on the game. But, the 2 teams that we've chosen to go are gonna be the Brown team and the Green team.
Colleen: Yes!
Green team looks shocked
Zachary: I knew it was coming.
JD: Okay.....I can see that was sort of expected but unfortunately, Green team, Brown team, you have a few hours to pack your things, say your goodbyes, we leave at sunset, where for one of you, your journey on Endurance will come to an end. I'll see you at the Temple of Fate.

Back in the huts:
Danielle: I can't believe this. I never even expected it!
Zachary: Are you mad?
Danielle: Yeah, 'cause they don't realize that we're the least threat and that Red's the bigger threat! I'll go ask Brielle and Angela why they sent us.
She walks out of the hut.

Brielle and Angela are talking outisde the huts while Danielle walks up to them:
Brielle: What is it?
Danielle: Why did you send us to the Temple rather than Red?!
Angela: Don't get us wrong; it's only that we, as a group, decided you'd go for sure but we hadn't came to a compromise on sending Brown or Red.
Danielle: That's so cruel to send the weakest teams.
brielle: We're sorry. But, Red hasn't proven much, and you've proven even less and that's what some people look for in a competitor.
Danielle: Okay. Sorry if I took it personally.
Angela: Just don't worry, okay? You still got a chance to play this game.
Danielle: Thanks.
She walks off

Karina is sitting on the hut steps where Zachary comes and sits down next to her:
Karina: How're you holding it up?
Zachary: Fine. Meredith wasn't surprised, but I was.
Karina: How?
Zachary: We just didn't understand why you sent us even though you didn't wanna do it.
Karina: i just want you to know that I was the only one who didn't want you to go up.
Zachary: You? Stood up? For me? That's the sweetest thing you've ever done for me.
Karina: Even though, it was still a group decision and there was nothing I could do.
Zachary: Alright.

Con. Jason and Troy:
Jason: Who does Colleen think she is, trying to say she likes me just so she can stay?
Troy: Colleen's being so mean and stupid!
Jason: Well, at least Devon puts bros before that girl and stays true to us!
Troy: 'Cause it's always mates before girls everytime!
Both laugh

Int. Colleen: I know me and Karina haven't been on good terms lately, but at least I didn't go on the bandwagon with everyone else which they said was condition. I hope me and Karina can just come to a peace treaty.
Int. Karina: I realized that Brown team was even more upset knowing what we did, but this is a game and me and Landon're here to win. And if they come back from Temple, they're gonna have hard feelings 'cause you don't return from Temple with a smile.

Everyone is hugging outside, crying and saying goodbye:
Brown and Green walk into the rainforest towards the Temple of fate
Kids: Bye! Good luck! We'll miss you a lot!
Int. Jahmil: I really love it here. Even though a lot of people aren't used to rain and mud and all that other stuff, I've come to love all this. And I'm so happy that i got Danielle for a partner because she made me a better person and we've got great communication. So, if we return, we really gotta step it up and prove more.
Int. Meredith: I've learned so much from getting a second chance here and the fact that it's the right thing to forgive. I'm saying that because forgiveness is a big portion of life and it means more than lying, deception and backstabbing.
Int. Danielle: Well, first I wanna say that I've had a phenomonal experience here and that I'm just grateful for it. I don't wanna leave, but if I do return, I'll be a little upset with Yellow and Purple for not standing up to us but I still wanna maintain our alliance. If I do leave tonight, i won't ever take back anything 'cause I'm just blessed to even be here.
Int. Zachary: I love Endurance and it's been so savory to have gotten a second chance. I don't think we should be the third team leaving because I can't regret any part of this game. My differences with Meredith just brought us so much closer together and that benefits me. I just wanna savor what might be the last moments I'm here because I might never do it again.

At the Temple of Fate:

JD: Welcome to the temple of Fate. This is the most feared place on Endurance. For both teams, it's your first trek here and for one of you, it'll be your last. In front of you are 3 cauldrons: one with fire, one with water, one with wood. You'll write down your elements on a piece of bamboo, and I'll drop them into the burning kettle behind me. As you all know, fire burns wood, wood floats in water and water puts out the fire. You'll write down your choices on a piece of bamboo, and I'll drop them into the kettle of fire. The first team to win twice returns to the huts; the other team will be sent home immediately. Go ahead and grab your first piece of bamboo.

Shows the teams whispering and writing things down

Jahmil: What're we gonna do?
Danielle: I got a feeling that we should do.....

Zachary: Should we do water?
Meredith: Water?
Zachary: Mm-hmm.

Teams hand their elements to JD, who then drops them in the kettle

JD: Okay, can we please see who chose the dominant element?

Brown: Water
Green: Wood
Danielle: Yes!
Green hugs
JD: Green team, you picked wood, Brown team, you picked water; wood floats in water, so that's a win for you. Brown team, one mroe loss, and your journey on Endurance will be finished. Go ahead and grab your next piece of bamboo.


Shows the teams whispering and writing things down

Danielle: I think we should stick with water.
Jahmil: Okay.

Meredith: I think we should go with.....

Teams hand their elements to JD, who then drops them in the kettle

JD: Okay, this is it. If Green wins, they're going back. Brown team has to win to force a tie. May we please reveal who has the dominant element!

Brown: Fire
Green: Wood
Zachary: Yeah!
Meredith: Oh my gosh!
JD: Oh! Brown team picked fire; green team picked wood; fire burns wood, it's 1 round apiece. Whoever wins this round will stay, the other one leaves. Go ahead and get your next piece of bamboo.


Shows the teams whispering and writing things down

Zachary: Do you wanna go with wood?
Meredith: I dunno.........

Shows Green writing something down

Teams hand their elements to JD, who then drops them in the kettle

JD: Alright. Whoever wins this one, goes back to the huts; the loser goes home. May we please see who chose the dominant element!

Brown: Water
Green: Fire
Zachary: Yes, man!
Meredith: Oh my God!
Brown hugs
Danielle begins to cry and Jahmil hugs her
JD: Oh! Brown team, you chose water; Green team, you chose fire; water puts out the fire; so that means you guys are going back. Green team, sorry to say that you've been eliminated. You should be really proud of what you did out here and you made it all the way to the jungles of Colombia and I'm sure you won't be forgotten.

Jahmil: Thanks guys.
Danielle: We love you both!
Meredith: Bye!
Zachary: You guys're great!

Green team disappears behind the flames.

JD: Well, Brown team, you've done it. You survived the Temple of Fate! From the first day, where you actually were eliminated, you came back for a second chance and you're even stronger than ever. Go on back and prove that the second-chance team still wants to play this game!

Around the campfire:
Landon: I really wonder who it is.
Brielle: Me too.
Colleen: I don't really mind if either one comes back.
Brown team comes running from the bridge
Zachary: Guess who's back!
They all hug Brown and celebrate

Endurance Amazon Teams and Pieces:
Brown team: Zachary and Meredith=Perseverance
Purple team: Troy and Angela=Teamwork and Discipline
Red team: Devon and Colleen=Friendship and Commitment

The teams play another Endurance Mission, where there will be a twist in store:
Angela: (gasps) No way!
Colleen: Oh my God!
Troy: Whoa!
And with the Samadhi comes the shock of one team's lives:
Landon: I can't believe this!
Which team will get even more control of this competition?

[Mister Ham]

Go brown green and red superteam!

[e3hoohoo9]

Last time on Endurance Amazon:
The powerhouse SuperTeam of Yellow, Orange and Purple dominated the Temple Mission:
Angela: Yes!
Karina: We won!
But sending 2 out of the 3 underdogs wasn't easy:
Jason: No! We shouldn't send red!
The others soon realized their fate would be sealed later that evening:
Devon: It's really crushing 'cause one out of the 3 of us, you might never see again.
But in the end, the Green and Brown teams were sent over to the Temple of Fate.
At the Temple, the Brown team was triumphant and Green became the third team to be eliminated:
Green team disappears behind the flames.
Today, the final 5 teams begin to crack under the pressure:
Landon: Colleen, you're SO untrustworthy!
And another twist is in store:
Meredith: (gasps) No way!
Who has the Teamwork to get even more control of the game?

JD walks towards the huts:
JD: Come on out you guys!
The teams come out and sit down on the steps
JD: Good morning? How's everybody?
Kids: Good!
JD: Well, as I can see, it was a total weather catastrophe here. And it was even more upsetting when we lost the Green team at the Temple last night. I have with me their Trust piece and a note that they wrote. Who'd like to read it?
Hands fly up
JD: Okay, how 'bout Angela?
Angela: Sure!

Green team's letter:

To all of our good friends:

Well, being on Endurance was an amazing experience and I loved meeting all of you in the past week. We both loved each and every one like family. Orange team, we don't blame you for sending us, and we still hope you can prove you aren't that weak. Yellow and Purple teams, our bestest friends and allies. You're both so powerful and we know you can stay focused on the game and not other stuff. Brown team, you guys were the next closest to us and we think you deserve it the most. Lastly, Red team, don't continue fighting, please. You guys were friends before all of that, so just try and go back to that and it might work well for you. We woulda been more outgoing, it's only that we were focused on the game and our alliance. Likewise, out of all the teams that we found trustworthy was Purple, so they will be receiving our piece, even though they're the reason we're gone. We hope that you make it all the way to the final 2.

Lots of love, from the most honest team,
The Green Team,
Jahmil and Danielle
Troy: Yes!
Zachary: What the heck?!
JD: Well, I can see that was a shock, but Purple team, you have gotten another piece, which is Trust. That brings your total to a commanding lead: 3 pieces tied with Orange; Red has 2, and Yellow and Brown only have 1 piece. Now, as you all know, you've gotta get all 14 pieces first to win. But, only 1 or 2 isn't gonna do enough. So that means you've all gotta try harder to start winning more pieces to become the Endurance champ. Now, today, I got a little twist for you.
Everyone mutters and talks silently
JD: Today, we are gonna be playing another mission. It's not for Temple or for a piece, but the Samadhi for winning will be extraordinary compared to what we've done in the past.
Brielle: Oh my God.
Devon: This isn't good.
JD: That's right. The winner of the game today will win the most powerful Samadhi ever; so it's something you're gonna wanna get today, 'cause it could alter the game for you. Think about it and I'll see you at the mission.

Endurance Amazon Teams and Pieces:
Brown team: Zachary and Meredith=Perseverance
Purple team: Troy and Angela=Teamwork, Discipline and Trust
Red team: Devon and Colleen=Friendship and Commitment
Yellow team: Jason and Brielle=Heart
Orange team: Landon and Karina=Knowledge, Strength and Leadership

---

Int. Angela: I think the teams are really starting to target us and Yellow now. Either way, I'm still happy that I got Green's piece; but I know that Brown's not happy.
Int. Zachary: I was shocked that Purple got their piece! I know I was Green's best friend but I just don't understand what happened.

In the huts:
Landon: I still can't believe that there's such a powerful Samadhi!
Angela: If I'd have won it, I dunno what I'd do with it.
Brielle: For one, it's still a shocker to find out.
Colleen: I think it might be cool but whoever wins it has to decide what they'll do.
Jason: I can't help but wonder what might be in there. Could it possibly be an advantage?
Meredith: yeah, like a free round from the next Temple.
Karina: If you were to win that, who'd you give it to?
Zachary: I'd probably give it to Yellow or Purple 'cause they're more stronger than everyone else.
Brielle: What's that supposed to mean?
Zachary: Not to be rude, but Purple has the most pieces and they're only carrrying you on your backs.
She then walks out followed by Purple and Devon

Yellow team talking in the other hut:
Jason: I think we've gotta start playing strategically now.
Brielle: What do you mean?
Jason: The truth is we've been carrying the Red team on our backs, and that's gotta stop.
brielle: What! But, they've always been there for us, even when things were low for our alliance.
Jason: True, but I'm getting really sick of having to keep red around. Purple knows us better than them, so this is the right thing to do.
Brielle: I don't think it's a smart move to desert them because we swore from the beginning that we wouldn't abandon one another!
Jason: Look, I know that you and Colleen are best friends, and I'm the same with devon, but they're really starting to be a threat.
Brielle: I just think that they deserve to be here at least a few more days than Brown or Orange.

Int. Jason: I know that I'm good friends to Purple, and she's good friends to Red, but if we win the next mission, we need to give them the Samadhi or send them to Temple because we've been keeping them under our wing all along, and this has really gotta stop.

Red team talking on the hammocks:
They overhear Yellow talking in the huts
...Jason: I'm getting really sick of having to keep red around...
Colleen: Will you look at that! Jason's even considering to get us outta here!Devon: He wouldn't, ever!
Colleen: We both don't believe it, but they said if they win, they were gonna saddle us with the Samadhi, when it deserves to go to Orange or Brown.
Devon: Do you even know what it means?
Colleen: Sure! If they're gonna win today or the next temple mission, we're most likely gonna get sent back to Temple, and it's more a of a probability that we're gonna go home, and that's not what we need.
Devon: So, what're you saying?
Colleen: We have GOTTA do everything we can to win!
Devon: Oh, I get ya now!
Colleen: I think we understand that we're eventually gonna need to join up with Orange and Brown because Yellow and Purple are waaaay too strong for us now.
Devon: Sounds like a plan! I hope you stick to it.


At the mission:
JD: Hey guys!
All: Hey!
JD: Well, I think we should get right to it. You were a little shocked when I told you you were playing for a powerful Samadhi, but not a piece?
All: Yeah.
JD: Well, let's get straight to the mission. For the game today, you can see right there a high tower with 2 bars going down it. And over here are several team-color balls and 2 poles. When I say go, you're gonna move 1 ball along the path while keeping it on the bars. If it falls, you're gonna need to go back and do it again. When your ball comes in contact with the tower, you gotta slide the ball thru the chute to get it in; and the first team to get 4 balls thru their chute wins the most powerful Samadhi we've had so far. Inside is something that might actually benefit you or it could help out another team. You guys understand?
All: yeah!
JD: Right, so let's get in position and do this.
Teams do so
JD: Okay, you're playing for the powerful Samadhi and the power to give it away or keep it. On your mark, get set, GO!

....TO BE CONTINUED...............

Episode continued from Part 1:

The teams begin to move the balls on the poles
Angela: Come on Troy!
Jason: We got this, Brielle!
Meredith: Oh no.
Brown team drops their ball
Colleen: This is harder than it looks.
Red teams drops their ball
JD: It now looks like Yellow or Purple's gonna get their first one now!
Yellow and Purple simultaneously get the first ball in the tower
JD: And that's one for Yellow and Purple! And it looks like Orange and Red are gonna get one too!
Orange gets it in whereas Red drops their ball again
JD: It looks like it's a race between Purple, Orange and Yellow. They're all beginning on their second ball!
Meanwhile Brown and Red get one in
Zachary: Dang!
Brown team drops their ball
JD: Okay, everyone has 1 ball in their towers! But only one is gonna win!
Brielle: We're halfway there!
Yellow and Orange get their second ball in
Karina: We got it!
JD: It looks like Yellow's developing a slight lead over everyone else.
Yellow begins to complete their third one as Orange and Red drop theirs down
Colleen: Man, we're starting to fall behind now!
Devon: Just focus, we'll be at the midway point!
Meredith: We've gotta try and go faster!
Zachary: Okay, but not too fast!
Yellow gets their third one as Purple and Red complete their second ones
JD: Yellow team is on fire! They're just one ball away from victory! The other teams are starting to scamper!
Brown gets the second one while Orange and Purple get the third ones
Jason: It's almost there!
Yellow drops their ball at the base of the chute
JD: Oh! Yellow team lost their fourth one at the last second! That might be costly!
Red and Brown then get the third ones
Troy: We're gonna make it!
Brielle: Come on, Jason!
Yellow gets their final ball in the tower
Jason: Yeah!
Brielle: Thank goodness!
They hug
JD: Unbelievable! The Yellow team has just won their first mission and now they have the power of the Samadhi! And now, I'd like you to open the Samadhi.
Jason: What?
JD: Yep, you can break it open now and find out what's in it.
They break it open and a triangle with an arrow pointing away from it on a piece of cloth
JD: Do you know what this means?
Yellow team shrugs
JD: This means you have the power to clear a team of their pieces, which may give you a commanding lead.
Everyone gasps and looks shocked
JD: This is something you might wanna consider and use carefully. I'll meet you guys later on for your decision.

Con. Landon: That's the last thing I really wanted to see 'cause I know we have the most pieces and Yellow is definitely gonna want them.
Int. Jason: I'm so happy that we won today! Everything was going perfectly and we dominated the game, thanks to Brielle. I'm so glad I have her for a partner!
Int. Brielle: We won our first mission today and it feels so good. Now we get to use the Samadhi to take away another team's pieces and this feels great!

Yellow and Purple are talking in the huts:
Troy: Alright you guys! You did so amazing!
The two teams high-ten each other
Jason: I'm really glad that we won smething for the first time.
Brielle: So am I, but we've got a really hard decision on us.
Angela: I know! I don't know what I'd do if I was in your position.
Jason: It's obviously between Orange and Red because they have 2 pieces.
Angela: Why not Brown? They're really not beginning to prove themselves.
Brielle: We shouldn't take Brown's because they've only got one piece and that'd be an unfair advantage.
Troy: Are you actually sure we can trust Red? Because Colleen's starting to get mean.
Brielle: The best way would probably have to be playing it safe with Red until the final four. They might not stick with us and go over to Orange.
Jason: Besides we're still sending them in the final four anyway.

Red and Brown are talking in the other hut:
Meredith: Who do you think would lose their pieces to Yellow?
Devon: I think it'd be Orange.
Meredith: Why's that?
Devon: Obviously 'cause they have the most pieces out of anybody.
Meredith: Doesn't Purple have the same amount of pieces as Orange?
Zachary: Yeah, but Yellow would never take pieces from their allies and friends.
Meredith: Unless they realize that this is a game and that they may have to break loyalty just to win.
Colleen: I'm not sure Yellow would do that.
Devon: What's that supposed to mean?
Colleen: It's just that when we made our alliance at the beginning, we swore never to go after one another.
Devon: Even if our alliance is still protecting us, Orange is still gonna get picked on and they're obviously gonna lose their pieces.
Colleen: I'm gonna go talk to them.
She and Devon walk out of the hut.

Red and Orange are talking on the hammocks:
Devon: Everyone's saying that you two are gonna lose your pieces.
Karina: What?! Why do Yellow and Purple now want us out, even after we worked with them yesterday?
Landon: Because now that one of their allies was sent home, they're going after us and Brown!
Devon: So what we want from you is to come to a compromise.
Landon: Okay what's going on! You want us to be civil with you two?!
Colleen: That's the truth.
Landon: Colleen, you're SO untrustworthy! And then you come up to say that you want it to be fine?! You're gonna have to say you're sorry about what you did to us earlier if you want us to believe you!
Colleen: Okay! I'm sorry I targeted you guys in the beginning. It was only because I thought Karina was creating drama when she wasn't.
Karina: Okay, now I truthfully believe you.
Devon: How about this: a secret alliance between us, you and Brown so we can get Yellow and Purple out of the game.
Landon: It's a plan! I just hope that we can keep our pieces.

Yellow team talking in the crow's nest:
Jason: So Orange or Red?
Brielle: Well Orange's turning into a threat and Red's beginning to have problems.
Jason: I think Orange is overall stronger compared to them. And I just don't mean it that way, they also have the most pieces.
Brielle: So we're taking Orange's pieces?
Jason: Of course! It's obviously the smartest choice to make.
Brielle: If we take their pieces, we might have a better chance of making to the final 4.
Jason: I don't know...

At the island:
JD: How's everyone doing?
All: Okay!
JD: So how does it feel to be part of the final 5?
The contestants all give mixed reactions
JD: So Red, Purple and Yellow. How's your alliance going now that Green's gone?
Angela: It's still been going fine, even if we're starting to drift apart.
JD: What do you mean by drifting apart?
Angela: Well, I've been hearing things about Red leaving us to go to Orange and Brown.
JD: Red, what's your take on what she just said?
Devon: Well, all we're doing is falling back on them in case Yellow and Purple get in trouble.
JD: Okay, now we know why we'll here. We're gonna hear Yellow's decision on who's losing their pieces. Yellow team, whose team's pieces are you taking?
Jason: Well it was really hard but it was a smart and strategic move. But we're taking.........the Orange team's pieces.
Everyone looks so shocked.
JD: Okay, Orange. You've just lost your pieces. You're not out of the game, you're only in last place. You guys all get a good night's rest and I'm gonna see you all tomorrow.

They all head back to the huts as Yellow takes Orange's pieces and puts them on their pole.

Int. Brielle: The reason why we took their pieces is 'cause they have more pieces than anyone else. And in the event that Purple got sent home, they'd give us their pieces and since Red only has 2 and Brown has 1, Orange was the obvious choice.
Con. Karina: It's not good right now 'cause we just lost our pieces. I mean people think we're a threat when we aren't! The truth is Yellow and Purple are really strong and we're against them. I don't wanna get blamed for trying to take them to the end because I like Jason. So now, it's do or die for us. It's basically that we have to take the game into our own hands or else we might leave next.

And the teams play another Endurance Mission:
Troy: We're doing good!
But there's also another twist in store:
Angela: Oh my God.
Devon: That's just crazy!
What will become of the game is we progress towards the end?
Find out next time on Endurance Amazon!

[e3hoohoo9]

Last time on Endurance Amazon:
The teams were all faced by a shocking twist:
JD: The Samadhi for winning will be extraordinary compared to what we've done in the past.
Brielle: Oh my God.
The Yellow team started to question their alliance with the Red team:
Jason: The truth is we've been carrying the Red team on our backs, and that's gotta stop.
After a tough and close Endurance Mission, the Yellow team pulled out their first win:
Jason: Yeah!
Brielle: Thank goodness!
As a result for getting the most powerful Samadhi, they used it to clear the Orange team of their pieces:
Yellow takes Orange's pieces and puts them on their pole
Today, the teams' friendships will start to crack under the pressure:
Devon: Red team is done!
And another twist may hurt one team's game:
Brown gasps
Who has the Courage to rise above the other teams?
Find out as we see who possesses the greatest Endurance!

JD walks towards the huts:
JD: Come on out, everyone!
Everybody comes out of either hut and takes a seat on the steps.
JD: Good morning and how's everyone?
All: Great!
JD: This game's sorta getting interesting as you saw yesterday that Orange lost their pieces to Yellow. And thanks to that, they now have a lead in front of everyone with 4 pieces; Purple's in second with 3 pieces, Red has 2 pieces; Brown has 1 and Orange still doesn't have any. Orange team, how do you think you'll win another piece or 2?
Landon: We just need to win the next couple Endurance Missions and maybe it'll happen.
JD: But don't worry 'cause there's still more game left until one team gets all 14 pieces. But today, I've got another surprise for you. We aren't playing a Temple Mission, but it's gonna be an Endurance Mission with a piece and Samadhi, and there's a twist that may guarantee one team's fate of being eliminated. Think it over and I'll see you at the mission.

Red and Brown talking in the huts:
Devon: That was something I didn't expect!
Colleen: Yeah, 'cause now we can't send Yellow and Purple until tomorrow and I hope that twist or the Samadhi can hinder them.
Devon: Well, me and Zack were talking about sending them up and there's something in plan stopping it, and I think it's you.
Colleen: What the heck is that supposed to mean!
Zachary: I had a feeling you were the flaw in plan. And I expect you to keep this alliance.
Colleen: Don't tell me what to do! That goes for you too, Devon!
Devon: It doesn't matter 'cause Yellow and Purple might send you sometime.
Colleen: They wouldn't because they have no plans of that!
Meredith: They can't always use friendship over winning. They'll have to do it one time.
Colleen: Let's take it somewhere else.

Red team talking in the other hut:
Colleen: Well thanks because a lot's going on at the moment. And I have a secret that I need to say.
Devon: What is it?
Colleen: I know you're gonna be mad 'cause I revealed our secret alliance to Jason yesterday.
Devon: I warned you not to tell him, and so did Karina and you didn't even listen!
Colleen: What can I say? I'm changing sides a lot.
Devon: You shouldn't change sides, period.
Colleen: And changing sides is the least I can do.
Devon: And you know we're close to winning and you're doing what's not right!
Colleen: At least telling you was right.
Devon: And you wanna know something?!
Colleen: WHAT?!
Devon: If we lose tomorrow, it's gonna be because of you. And the fact that you don't have a clue on what you're doing.
Colleen: I so have a clue about what I'm up to!
Devon: You know what?! Red team is done! All you ever wanted was attention and you think dumping an alliance is a way to get it?! NO WAY!!!
He storms out of the hut.

Int. Devon: She's just making a big ol' cooking pot of lies and it's only gonna boil down to what she, Yellow and Purple want! No sir, I guarantee this alliance will stomp the strong teams into the dust!

Orange and Yellow are talking on the hammocks:
Landon: I'm so mad that she told you about our alliance!
Karina: It's only a matter of time before we and Brown get picked off!
Jason: Well it is unfair for us or Purple to send you because you both want us sent up.
Landon: Well we along with Brown and Red wanted that to happen so you wouldn't win and send us up!
Brielle: It doesn't really mean we can send you if we wanted because the game might tell what happens.
Landon: Good point but you still don't believe Red about their backstabbing!
Brielle: Only because Colleen won't tell me because we and Angela are good friends and we don't leak secrets about that!
Jason: That tears it! If I win tomorrow's Temple, you're going and so is Brown!

Con. Landon: Yellow and Purple are so out of control right now! They think they're conquerors over everything and they need to come back to reality. To tell you the truth, I'd rather be sent by Purple even though they're both just Yellow's little puppets.

At the mission:
JD: Hey guys!
All: Hey!
JD: Well, I kinda left you in confusion on what we'd be playing for today, right?
All: Yeah....
JD: But now, we're gonna get right to it. Here's the mission for today. As you can see out there, we've got a high walkway with a high climbing rope and four platforms wedged into it. And at the top is a cage where one player will be locked inside. When I say go, the player down here will climb up the rope to the first platform, grab a key, put it in their pouch, and then tether the rope through the hole to safely get up. Then, do that method three more times, and at the top, put the four keys in the locks on each side of the cage, and your partner can escape and then you must come down. The first team to unlock themselves from the cage and come down wins the Courage piece and the Samadhi. But as you all remember as I said this morning that there was a twist today, right?
All: Yeah.
JD: You are gonna want to win today's mission because the team that's last to free themselves and come back down is automatically guaranteed to go to the Temple of Fate tomorrow.
Everyone gasps
Angela: Oh god....
Jason: You're kidding me!
JD: That's right. Even if you aren't first, you gotta keep playing to not come in last. You understand?
All: Yeah.
JD: Okay, so get into position.
Players climbing the ropes and platforms: Colleen, Meredith and the boys
Players locked in the cages: Devon, Zachary and the girls
JD: Okay, you wanna come in first and get the Courage piece plus the Samadhi but you don't wanna be in last! On your mark, get set, GO!
The first players begin climbing the ropes to the first platform
Brielle: Come on, jason!
Jason: Okay!
Colleen: Got one!
Meredith: Me too!
JD: Looks like they're all starting to get their first key! And now they gotta tether the rope through the hole to get up!
Brown: 1
Orange: 1
Purple: 1
Red: 1
Yellow: 1
Karina: Keep going, Landon!
Troy: I'm doing it as fast I can!
Jason: And another one for us!
JD: Everyone's moving as quick as they can now!
Brown: 1
Orange: 1
Purple: 2
Red: 2
Yellow: 2
JD: Who's gonna get all the keys first?
Landon: Orange is! I got another one!
Jason: I got all our keys, Bree! I'll be up!
JD: And Yellow has all their keys first!
Colleen: Devon, I got our last one!
JD: And so does Red!
Brown: 2
Orange: 3
Purple: 3
Red: 4
Yellow: 4
Landon: Got it!
Troy: Finally!
JD: And also Purple and Orange! Brown still needs to get 2 more keys!
Zachary: Hurry up, Meredith!
Meredith: I'm trying!
She finally gets the last two keys very quickly
JD: And now everyone has their keys and has to put them in the slots!
Devon: You're wasting time!
Colleen: Shut up and let me find the right slots!
Troy: Man, this is a hard one!
Angela: Just focus! That key goes here and that one goes there!
Jason: This goes here and that goes there.
Brielle: Whoa, you're good at puzzles!
Jason: Thanks!
Brielle escapes from the cage and then she and Jason begin climbing back down
JD: Yellow team is out first, but here comes Orange and Purple!
Landon: Where does that one go?
Karina: Here! Look!
Karina is freed from her cage and then they start going down
Angela: Put that there and we're done!
Angela leaves her cage and then she and Troy head down
JD: It's a footrace between Orange, Yellow and Purple! Who's it gonna be?
Brielle: We got this, Jason!
Yellow team comes to the ground first
JD: And now the Yellow team wins! But everybody's gotta keep going!
Devon and Zachary are freed from their cages and then they start climbing down with their teammates
JD: Red and Brown are trying to make up for lost time!
Purple and orange hit the ground almost simultaneously
JD: Okay, Purple and Orange just finished. It's either Red or Brown that's gonna be going to Temple!
Colleen: Come on, we aren't going back to Temple!
Devon: Okay!
Zachary: Come on Meredith!
Meredith: I'm going!
Red team just barely beats Brown from coming back down
Devon: Yeah!
Colleen: Thank god for that!
JD: That's it! At the last second, it was so crucial for one of you to win, but you did it! Brown team, everybody finished first but it's unfortunate to say that you came in last. That basically means you guys will be going to Temple tomorrow. But there's a way that you can stop yourselves from going to Temple tomorrow. Do you wish to know what it is?
Zachary and Meredith: Yeah.
JD: If you win tomorrow's Temple Mission, you don't have to go to the temple, alright?
Zachary: Okay.
JD: Anyway, congratulations, Yellow team! You guys now have the Courage piece and the Samadhi. I'll see you later on who you're gonna give it to.
Jason: Yeah!
Brielle: Whoo!!
They hug

Endurance Amazon Teams and Pieces:
Brown team: Zachary and Meredith=Perseverance
Purple team: Troy and Angela=Teamwork, Discipline and Trust
Red team: Devon and Colleen=Friendship and Commitment
Yellow team: Jason and Brielle=Heart, Knowledge, Strength, Leadership and Courage
Orange team: Landon and Karina=None

---

Con. Yellow:
Jason: Two wins in a row! Whoooo!!
Brielle: And now we've got five pyramid pieces and the lead!
Jason: We're like dominating this game, even though we weren't doing well in the beginning.
Brielle: And now we gotta give a team the Samadhi.
Int. Zachary: I'm very ticked off that we came in last place but at last there's a little glimmer of hope in winning tomorrow's Temple Mission and not going back again.

Yellow and Purple are talking on the hammocks:
Troy: I still can't believe you won again! It's like you just got stronger in a day!
Jason: Neither can I!
They high-ten and do a man-hug
Troy: So what are you gonna do with the Samadhi?
Jason: I'm thinking of giving it to Brown.
Angela: Why give it to them? They did come in last place today.
Brielle: Of course, and if they have the Samadhi, they're basically gonna lose all chances of winning and automatically go up to Temple.
Jason: And we already used the last Samadhi to take all of Orange's pieces, so now it's time to eliminate them and Brown.
Angela: And then we'll be in the final four!

Orange, Brown and Devon are talking in the huts:
Landon: I think we're safe today.
Devon: Why?
Karina: Because we got our pieces taken, and since Brown came in last place today....
Zachary: hey!
Karina: Sorry. Devon told me about what Yellow was gonna do.
Meredith: And that means?
Devon: They're gonna give you guys the Samadhi to prevent you from winning tomorrow so you'll have to go to Temple.
Colleen then walks into the hut
Devon: Ugh! What do you want now?
Colleen: We gotta talk.
Devon: About what?
Colleen: About how we're staying with Yellow and Purple.
Devon: What did I tell you abut changing sides?!
Landon: You're switching sides again?!! I'm even more mad at you then what I am at Yellow and Purple!
Devon: Then we're gonna take it outside.

Red team is now talking in the other hut:
Colleen: Oh, you're such a good partner!
Devon: At least I'm better than you! I don't switch sides multiple times!
Colleen: I'm only changing sides to save our butts.
Devon: Then you're just backstabbing Orange and Brown! And thanks a lot 'cause they're both gonna go to Temple tomorrow because of you!
Colleen: Hey, hey, hey! Brown's only going to Temple, not Orange. And if we go to final two with either of them, they're gonna be easy to beat.
Devon: Oh really? 'Cause I do remember Gray saying that you would be disrespectful of me and take advantage of people just to send them home!
Colleen: And now you're still giving me mixed signals! And everytime we talk, it's just a heated debate!
Devon: Yeah, 'cause the only thing you care about is friendship! There's also winning that has to be cared for too!
Colleen: At least we're just flying under the radar with the other teams.
Devon: That's not good! And you wanna know something else?!
Colleen: What, Mr. Loyal to the weak teams?!!
Devon: I'm not gonna let you make me desert Orange and Brown for the love of Yellow and Purple!
Colleen: Then I don't wanna look at you now!
She angrily storms off
Con. Devon: I haven't noticed any difference between me, Orange and Brown 'cause they're all still talking to me. But they need to have a good chat with Colleen so she won't change sides anymore! We might not be strong, but we're just turning into a split team like Blue was!

Yellow team talking in the crow's nest:
Jason: So is it gonna be Orange or Brown?
Brielle: Well Orange is much more stronger than them and Brown's already going to temple anyway.
Jason: I think Brown is more weaker than them overall because they've been flying under the radar for a while.
Brielle: But they have come close to winning in the past.
Jason: So we give Brown the Samadhi to guarantee them Temple?
Brielle: I don't know.....

At the island:
JD: Come up and take a seat. Okay, so today was kind of an interesting day. Yellow team won their second mission today, something they really haven't done in the past. I mean, at the start, it was Purple that was winning, then Orange, then Red and now Yellow. How'd you guys do that? Did you just lump yourselves together at the last minute?
Jason: I think the reason why we're doing better than how we did in the past is because we both realized we had a drive to win.
JD: Okay, then. Now, Brown team. You guys have had a pretty rough time to go with, right?
Meredith: Yeah.
JD: First you guys went up to Temple, and you survived, but now this time, you came in last place in today's mission and now you've got a lot of pressure to win to save yourselves from temple tomorrow. How does it feel?
Meredith: Obviously it's nerve-wracking but we just have to make the most of our time here and try our best in hopes of winning.
JD: Well, I hope you guys can save yourselves from that fate. Now, Orange team, you've also had a similar fate to what happened with Brown. Yesterday, your pieces were completely taken in only a few seconds by Yellow. How do you expect to get further and win those pieces back?
Landon: We can't really dwell on it, we have to hope for the best and try to win the next Endurance Mission if we can.
JD: Okay, you guys still have a lot of game left and you still need all 14 pieces to win. Down to business. Yellow team, which team is gonna be getting the Samadhi?
Jason: It was really hard for us once again but it all came down to guaranteeing one team's fate at temple to worry about somebody else going.
Brielle: So we're gonna give it to the Brown team.
Zachary sighs
JD: Okay, Brown team. Come on up and find out what's in it.
Zachary smashes the Samadhi on the rock and 4 small containers fall out
JD: These four containers are filled with water. This means that you guys are gonna have four extra ounces of water in tomorrow's Temple Mission. Doesn't mean that you're gonna lose, but a win is still possible. But if you don't win, you're automatically going to Temple. As for everyone else, tomorrow is another elimination day and that means we'll only have 4 teams. Get a good night's sleep and I'll see you all tomorrow.

Int. Brielle: By giving Brown the Samadhi, they can't win and their fate is sealed for the next elimination. We also did this if Red wins and decides to send us or Orange up so only one of us goes rather than both.
Int. Zachary: This game is just getting harder and harder! There's so much pressure for us to win and there are many paths out there and I have no idea how much longer us or Orange can last.

Side Note:
Sorry I haven't written for a while 'cause I've been busy and I hope you'll get into it again

[e3hoohoo9]

Last time on Endurance Amazon:
The Red team's disagreements changed quickly into a conflict after Colleen revealed their secret alliance to Yellow and Purple:
Colleen: I know you're gonna be mad 'cause I revealed our secret alliance to Jason yesterday.
Jason: If I win tomorrow's Temple, you're going and so is Brown!
After a tough and grueling Endurance Mission, the Yellow team won their second mission in a row:
Jason: Yeah!
Brielle: Whoo!!
But Brown encountered their worst fears once again as they were guaranteed a trip to the Temple for coming in last, but they had a window of hope by winning the next Temple Mission:
JD: If you win tomorrow's Temple Mission, you don't have to go to the temple, alright?
Zachary: Okay.
Yellow basically soldified their fate by unfortunately giving them the Samadhi, making it even more critical to win.
Today, the final five teams will become only four and the drama will ensue even higher than before.
Who has the Perseverance to win their position?
Find out as we see who possesses the greatest Endurance!

Int. Devon: I'm kinda nervous for today. I feel that us or Orange has to win to escape going to Temple with Brown but I don't know what to do if I win.
Int. Angela: I trust Colleen but I have little sympathy for Devon and Orange. I'm worried if Orange wins they'll trick Red into sending me or Yellow up and that isn't gonna happen.
Int. Zachary: I absolutely don't have any hope of winning the mission because we came in last place and got the Samadhi on top of it. Me and Meredith's only hope is for us to win again at the temple.

At the mission:
JD: Hey guys!
All: Hey!
JD: Maybe we should get straight to it. We currently have 5 teams, but by tonight only 4 teams will make up Endurance. As you all know, the Brown team did in fact place last in yesterday's mission and they had a chance to win until yellow gave them the Samadhi which made it so they couldn't save themselves. Brown, do you still hope you can win today even with the Samadhi?
Meredith: I hope we can but if we don't we just have to come back from the Temple.
JD: Hopefully you guys won't have to go back again, okay? Just keep your heads up high. You wanna know about the mission?
All: yeah
JD: As you can see there are team-colored barrels with a piece of canvas on top. When I say go, you're each gonna take your canvas and scoop out some water from the lake. Then, you have to shuttle the water as quick as possible to dump it into your team's barrel. Once your team's barrel is filled, your team-colored flag will raise to indicate you've won. The winner gets the power to send one more team to join Brown at the Temple tonight. Brown team, you got the Samadhi and as you can see your barrel is 4 inches higher than everyone else's. So that means you'll have to shuttle a lot more water than anybody else but you can still win. Let's get into position.
...
JD: Remember, the winner gets to send another team to join Brown at tonight's temple! On your mark, get set, GO!!
The teams all immediately scramble towards the lake to fill their canvas.
Zachary: Come on, Meredith, we got this!
Angela: Scoop, Troy, scoop!
Landon: Okay, I got it!
JD: And Orange and Yellow are on their way back! Whoa, Brown just dropped theirs!
Brielle: Oh my gosh, we got it in!
Devon: make sure it all flows in!
Colleen: Don't you see me trying?!
Landon: let's go, Karina!
Yellow, Purple and Orange dump their first scoop into their barrels
Devon: There! We got our first one!
JD: And everyone's got their first sackful out and Purple's on their way back with number two!
Troy: Got it!
Jason: It's in!
JD: Looks like Purple and Yellow are beelining for the lead, but the other teams are giving chase!
Colleen: Come on, Devon, you gotta go fast!
Devon: I'm running as quick as I can!
JD: Brown team's gotta speed up if they wanna save themselves from Temple and now here comes Purple!
Angela: Just a few more, and we win!
Landon: Shoot! This is hard!
Meredith: We're halfway there!
JD: Purple's making quick progress and so's Orange, but everyone else is going adequately!
Troy: We're advancing greatly!
Karina: We gotta win this to save ourselves from going!
Landon: I think we've got it!
JD: Orange is beginning to catch up to Purple and it looks like it's a close race to turn this game around!
Landon: We have it, we have it!
karina: Just a little more!
Troy: This is our last one!
Purple and Orange both dump their final sackfuls in, but the former of the two's flags rises into the air
JD: and we got a winner! Purple team, you're now in the final four teams and staying for 2 more days. But later tonight, you're gonna have to send another team to join the Brown team at the temple of fate tonight. I'll meet you and everyone else later for your decision.
Troy: Yeeaaaahhh!!!
Angela: Wooo-hooo!!!
Purple team hugs
Karina: oh my gosh, we had it!
Landon: We were so close to winning, but now we're going!

Con. Purple:
Angela: I can't believe we just won!
Troy: Now it's time to make the final four thanks to us!
Angela: It's us and yellow all the way!
Troy and Angela: We are SO gonna be the top two!
Int. Landon: Well, today officially sucks. I'm really nervous about what Purple's gonna do because we know Brown's already going and they're debating between us and Red.

Purple and Yellow are talking on the hammocks:
Jason: Looks like we're the kings and queens again!
Troy: I love it when it happens! And now we can see the losers get booted for that matter.
Brielle: Well, it's really just a coin toss between Red and Orange to go with Brown.
Jason: If I were you, I'd send Red.
Angela: And the reason for that is what?
Jason: It's blatantly obvious! Their conflicts over who's on what allaince is affecting their game something fierce.
Troy: Yeah, but Orange is more of a target compared to them.
Angela: And I have to say if they're sent to Temple, they shouldn't take it personally.

Orange, Brown and Devon are talking in the huts:
Devon: Do you have a clue on who's going?
Karina: Nuh-uh. Do you?
Devon: I have a gut instinct that we might be sent up again.
Landon: That might not be the only reason you guys are a candidate...
Meredith: We know about the extreme problems between you and Colleen.
Zachary: It's becoming rather out of control and the other teams like us aren't trusting you.
They hear the other girls talking
...Angela: He's seriously making friends with 'em?
Brielle: Everybody knows they're the weakest teams!
Colleen: I know, he's making bad decisions. You guys do know how he's runing our game, right?
Brielle: I know! That's so unprofessional.
Colleen: I'm gonna go straighten him out...
Devon: I think she wants me now.
Karina: (snickers) Hopefully they'll scream at each other.
Devon walks out of the hut

Red is now talking in the other hut:
Colleen: Devon! I wanted to speak with you about our competition.
Devon: And what do you have to say, Mother?
Colleen: That you're using the incorrect strategies.
Devon: WHAT??!! I'm just playing the game how I think I needs to advance!
Colleen: Well, it's certainly interfering with the alliance.
Devon: I don't even care about your little anti-Orange crusade! And you know what else you can do?!
Colleen: Oh, let me guess! Quit switching our support so much and creating all the drama!
Devon: Don't you DARE STEAL WHAT I WANNA SAY!!!!
Colleen: At least I'm not going along with teams that are just an embarrassment!
Devon: Grrr.....You have SO done me in this time!! All this negativity's happening 'cause of your little friendship with narcisstic little Yellow and Purple!!
Colleen: Just one little word, Devon. That's all it's gonna take. Just make friends with Jason and Troy.
Devon: I'm not doing it, even in a million years!
Colleen: You need to make friends with the strong teams!
Devon: Stop tellin' me what to do and changing sides even more!
Colleen: Oh, yeah! I'm the one who's notorious for changing sides?!! And YOU had the nerve to say that??!!!!
Orange and Brown are both listening to them yell....
Landon: Just look how pathetic they are, yelling at each other constantly!
Meredith: That's just crazy.
Zachary: Tell me you're not overemphasizing that.
Meredith: I'm not, it's just that they're split when it comes to friendships.
Karina smiles: I guess they're just a mess.
Landon: I can just see their partnership cracking down the middle right now...
Devon: if you won't leave Yellow and Purple, then get outta here!
Colleen: Same here, Mr. Nice guy!
They both angrily walk off

Int. Colleen: Devon is just so frustrating and painful to be around right now! I've picked up the slack for the whole team and he has the courage to say I switch sides one too many times?!! It's blatantly obvious that he's DEAD WRONG!!!
Int. Karina: I feel really bad for Devon now because I know he wishes he never chose Colleen to begin with. And I feel the same goes for Brielle and Angela 'cause I know that they're really nice people and I think that by hanging around with Colleen, it's giving them brutal views of the weaker teams.

Purple is talking in the crow's nest:
Angela: So, what do ya wanna do, Orange with Brown?
Troy: I actually think Red should go, considering Colleen's arguments with Devon.
Angela: It bothers me to see them fight like that, even after they were great friends!
Troy: Necessarily, I don't think they're strong as Orange , so I think it'd be more strategic to send Orange instead.
Angela: Gosh, this is gonna be tough as it is!

At the island:
JD: Come up and take a seat. Been a pretty busy day, right?
All: Yeah.
JD: Well, it seems like Yellow and Purple have been in control for a while and it seems as if they're running the show. What do you think?
Jason: Yeah, I think we're running the show.
JD: Does that mean one of you is really gonna be safe from going with Brown to Temple?
Landon: I just think Purple's decision will tell.
JD: Obviously why we're here to hear their choices. So, Purple team, who are sending up to the Temple of Fate to join the Brown team?
Angela: We really don't want anybody to take it personal because we wanted to negotiate this by strategy...
Troy: But in the end, we have to send one team with Brown, and that team is............the Orange team.
JD: Okay, then. Orange team, you guys have taken this route before and so has Brown, and I'm sure you know the drill. That means you've gotta pack your belongings, say your goodbyes, we leave at sunset. I'll see you up there.

Back in the huts:
Devon: Well this sucks.
Karina: I'm just so mad right now! It's only a matter of time before we both end up being sent again.
Devon: Yeah, 'cause we realize that our friends will send us up right after one of us gets eliminated.
Karina: Even though one team's leaving our bond to combat yellow and Purple, we still need to throw away and rivalry and make a pact.
Devon: Just need to pray that you beat Brown at the Temple and not leave. So, it's a bond to the end?
Karina: You got that right!

Con. Devon: I was good friends with Yellow and Purple, but now I know they're sending us next time and if we and the team that comes back from Temple can band against them, maybe it'll get us towards the final 3.

Con. Karina: I really hope this pact pulls through because we need to win because so many setbacks are just making the trail of our game grow more narrow.

Everyone is hugging outside, crying and saying goodbye:
Brielle: We love you guys!
Colleen: Good luck!
Troy: See ya!
Jason: (whispering) If either one comes back, you know it's gonna be Purple and Yellow.
Troy: Uh-huh.

Int. Meredith: I've totally grown so much from playing in this experience. Not just physically but also socially because making friends with others and digging down to realize what you are is a big portion in life. Zach was the best partner I've ever had and I'm just really grateful we got picked to come back from the Right-to-Stay elimination.
Int. Zachary: If we do come back, we are gonna feel alone because Orange will be gone. But, if we do return, we're gonna try and make peace will Purple and Yellow. Meredith was one of the best people I've met, and even though we had our differences, we still saw each other through.

Int. Landon: I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we are the never-say-die team because as much as certain people want us to throw up our hands, surrender and walk out the door, it ain't gonna happen. I mean you can't really dwell on it, you just need to have faith and try to win.
Int. Karina: I truthfully have to say that Landon is one of the best people I've met and I stereotyped him at the beginning. And I need to say that was wrong because he opened my eyes and showed me the old saying don't judge a book by its cover and I just wanna come back and have more fun.

At the Temple of Fate:
JD: Welcome to the Temple of Fate. For both of you, it's your second trek up here but for one of you, it's gonna be the last. Brown team, you came in last 24 hours ago, so you guys acquired an immediate trip here again. Orange team, you guys had your pieces taken and then sent up, and if you come back, you can still win more pieces. In front of you are 3 cauldrons: one with fire, one with water, one with wood. You'll write down your elements on a piece of bamboo, and I'll drop them into the burning kettle behind me. As you all know, fire burns wood, wood floats in water and water puts out the fire. You'll write down your choices on a piece of bamboo, and I'll drop them into the kettle of fire. The first team to win twice returns to the huts; the other team will be sent home immediately. Go ahead and grab your first piece of bamboo.

Shows the teams whispering and writing things down

Karina: You wanna go with what we did last time?
Landon: Yeah, I think so.

Zachary: What do you think we need to pick?
Meredith: How 'bout wood?
Zachary: Sure! So write it down!
Meredith: I'm writin', I'm writin...

Teams hand their elements to JD, who then drops them in the kettle

JD: Could we please reveal who has the dominant element?

Brown: Wood
Orange: Fire
JD: Orange team, you chose fire; Brown team picked wood; fire burns out the wood so that's one win for you, Orange. Brown team, one more loss, you guys won't be a part of Endurance anymore. Go ahead and grab another piece of bamboo.

Shows the teams whispering and writing things down

Landon: Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
Karina: Sorta but sure enough....

Meredith: maybe we oughta go with the same thing?
Zachary: We really should go along with....

Teams hand their elements to JD, who then drops them in the kettle

JD: Orange team, one more win and you'll make up the final four. Brown team, you have to win this one to force a tiebreaker. May we please see who chose the dominant element?

Brown: Fire
Orange: Water
Landon: Oh my god!
karina: We've won again!
Brown team hugs and looks stern
JD: Orange team, you chose water; Brown team picked fire; water extinguishes fire so Orange team, you guys get to advance another round. Brown team, although you've been persevering since the day you returned from getting eliminated on day one, sadly you're going home. You should be proud of how much you've accomplished with getting a second chance and becoming the eighth team and nobody will forget you whatsoever.

Landon: Bye Brown!
Karina: I love you, Zack!
Meredith: Keep on truckin' and win!
Zachary: You're better than them!

Brown team disappears behind the flames.

JD: Welp, Orange team, you guys have cheated fate once again and you guys are starting show that you're no underdog, but a powerhouse! You were called weak from the start, but you've proven them wrong in several competitions, only to get stripped of your pieces and sent up here again. Now, you're in the final four and stronger than ever! Now, head on back and show how much of a powerful team you can be!

Landon and Karina: let's hope we aren't back too soon!
JD chuckles

Around the campfire:
Angela: I'm really wondering who's coming back.
Devon: Hopefully it's Orange.
Orange comes sprinting down the bridge.
Landon: Just call us the never-say-die team!
Jason: You guys are tough!
Karina: That's right; we're harder and stronger than you thought we were!
Everyone hugs Orange and celebrates.

Time for the official sneak peek on Endurance Yosemite! Here it is (it's formatted to simulate how it would be on TV and it's also written in a transcript POV):

This fall, a new year premieres as 20 new teenagers begin the experience of a lifetime deep in Yosemite National Park's forests and waterfalls:
(The camera transitions to show two Conestoga wagons, each holding 10 guys and 10 girls)
Each and every one of the 20 finalists come from diverse ways of life:
Adriana: I'm a little bit of a suck-up and very sensitive around other people, but I'm totally indifferent and adventurous, which I love about myself...
Justin: If I think someone's resisting my decisive intentions, I don't hesitate to stand up for myself, but I'm incredibly athletic but not competitive when I play a game even though I'm a total perfectionist...
Courtney: I've moved around a lot since I was about eight, and I've had many friendships which would prove an advantage; when I'm around others, I try to be loyal and honest but not stoic despite that I'm a flirt...
Quentin: A few of my friends think I'm a shy bookworm because of my seemingly stable knowledgeable resolve, but I wanna prove to them that I'm attractive, strong and a fierce competitor...
Twists and surprises are dispersed and scattered throughout every episode:
(Cuts to a few contestants looking shocked)
JD: This may prove to be huge impact on your game...
The drama will grow more nasty as its quality seems to fluctuate wildly:
..."Why in the world did I trust a backstabbing ally like you for the most part?!"
"I don't want you as my partner; I want absolutely NOTHING that relates to you!"
"They're just a weak team that hasn't proved much to be a threat!"
"If we get eliminated, it'll be because of your bad attitude!"
"Oh my god, just get over your narcissistic and manipulative self!"
"I really do hope karma bites you in the butt what for!"
"I was rooting for you and you betrayed me, our agreement and the whole alliance!"...
But the contenders all have to accept each others' differences to win because only one team can overcome every challenge to become the new Endurance champs:
(A montage of multiple challenges to be introduced in the season are all shown one at a time)
"You are the Endurance Yosemite champions!"
The complete story unfolds as the new semester begins on Endurance: Yosemite!
