Endurance-The Final Countdown
Episode 5 (Part 1): Houston, We REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM!

Rick: Last time on Endurance....
the teams competed in an unexpected elimination challenge. The green team won Yellow team's piece and it went to Amber's head. She then tried to purposefully tell all the team's Orange team's word and green was eliminated for it. Today, in this two part episode, a twist will shake up the whole competition and everyone will be on their toes. Who will be able to endure the challenges they are faced with? Find out on
ENDURANCE-The Final Countdown.

At the logs:
Rick: Is everyone up?
Everyone: YES!
Rick: Okay I've got 2 pieces here and a letter and let's let......Bella read the note.
Bella: Okay.
Hey everyone who's better than us, we were obviously eliminated due to the fact that Amber tried to eliminate Orange. Sorry Orange about that and we hope that our Heart piece will make up for it. Blue, what can we say. We don't see why you're still here. Purple, you guys are too strong and sooner or later your good fortune will run out. Gray, underdogs all the way but you're the team we think will leave next. Red, you are now in last place with purple but we think you guys need a boost. So, here is our Trust piece. Go all the way!
Love, Amber and Casey.

Rick: So, Orange, here is your Heart piece and Red, here is your Trust piece. Go put those up on your poles.
(Ben looks at everyone else's pieces and smiles.)

Blue- Karma- Ingenuity
Purple- Discipline and the Immunity Idol they won
Orange- Courage-Heart and the Map that would lead to a piece
Red- Knowledge- Trust
Gray- Luck- Strength

Rick: We now have a 4 way tie. Blue, Orange, Red, and Gray. Purple is now in last place.
Jade: What are you gonna do?
Rick: Before I let you go. Noone is leaving the logs except for Orange. They know why. Orange, I have a huge timer over there and every 5 minutes a ball drops. Ping! There are 10 balls so you will have 50 minutes to find "it". If you bring it back before 50 minutes is up, you get to keep it but if you are still looking for it, I will give all the other teams what you have and they will be able to leave too and get it. Do you understand?
Orange: Yes.
Rick: On your marks, get set, goooo!
(Orange runs toward the Jungle and finds an enclosed area to look at their map.)
Ben: Okay it says the piece is on top of a mountain of some sort so we should head....west!
Christina: Okay. Oh my gosh! If we win this, we could be in the lead!

Confessionals- Christina
I really felt confident we could win this piece. It was just us against time. We were already halfway there when we heard Rick scream, 30 minutes are up. We had to high tail it.

Ben: Keep running, we've been taking it easy and we need to get there.

45 minutes.
Rick: Okay, everyone else. the orange team got a map that tells them where a piece is located. It will be a race to get it but if they are close there is an alternative. On your maps a samahdi is shown too. THere is also a ticket hidden for 1 team that will enable them to do something that will shake up the game. Are you ready, on your marks, get set, go!

PURPLE TEAM:
Kelly: I think we should go for the ticket cause it's closer.
Jade: Yeah and we're in the lead so far. Let's hurry up.

ORANGE TEAM:
Ben: Dang it! They just were released but we're here.
Christina: Where's the piece?
Ben: look a tree with a clue on it!
Christina: If you wish to find the piece, I will tell you where. It is already back at camp, in the pond's lair.
Ben: That means it's in the pond. It's under the water! Quickly before somebody else sees us running back to camp.

RED TEAM:
Bella: Where the heck are we?
Jake: I think we are near the piece!
Bella: I think Orange already got it. I just saw...wait, they didn't have anything in their hands! We should follow Orange.
Jake: k.

GRAY TEAM:
Heather: I'll go for the ticket and you go for the samahdi.
Adam: Okay. We'll meet up back at the pond.
Heather: Fine.

Purple Team:
Kelly: We got the ticket! I can't believe it was buried under a tree's roots.
Jade: I just can't believe we are safe for 2 more days because of our immunity idol. What does the ticket say?
Kelly: Awesome! This ticket enables the beholder to trade a team that you think is a threat for a team that was already sent home. Do you think we should use it?

Orange Team:
(Looking through the pond)
WHERE IS THE PIECE???

TO BE CONTINUED........

[Cruise meerkat Youssy]

Wow, looks awesome. Why was orange allowed to go first though?

[sWeeTAs]

wow intense especially that ticket thing

[billabongboy2075]

Orange was allowed to go first because they had won a map in the box challenge where yellow got nothing and was sent to temple with purple because of it.

[Cruise meerkat Youssy]

Ohhh, I see now

[Host Casey]

Oooooh Purples ticket really helps them because that could shift the game completely!
Bring Green back!!! =D

[futuristicPURPLE]

haha BOOYEAH BEAST PURPLE!

and my good fortune will so not run out. besides it wasn't good fortune--it was/is SKILL (:

Endurance-The Final Countdown
Episode 5:( Part 2) Houston, WE REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM!

Orange Team-
Ben: Did you find it. In the pond's lair, in the pond's lair.
This could totally help us if we can find it. We would be in the lead!
Christina: I'm trying. Oh god! Red is coming. If they see us in the pond they might think something's up. Faster!

Red Team-
Jake: There must be something in the pond! Why would Orange be in there. The piece...it's in the pond!
Bella: Good job.

CONFESSIONALS- Bella
I really have been starting to like Jake. He's really funny at some times and is a great team player. I guess I didn't give him time to show his true self.

Bella: Hey Ben. Sorry but we know the piece is here too.We're gonna find it first.
Ben(under his breath.): Shoot.
Christina: Oh my god.(Thinking to Herself: The piece isn't in the pond,it's in the knot in the tree across the way.....)
SHE STARTS TO RUN.BELLA SEES HER AND TRIES TO CATCH UP BUT IS TOO LATE. CHRISTINA HAS REACHED THE TREE AT THE OTHER SIDE AND HAS PULLED OUT THE LUCK Piece.
Christina: Yes...
ORANGE TEAM WALKS TOGETHER TOWARDS THE SPOT WHERE RICK IS STANDING.....AT THE LOGS. PURPLE SEES THEM AND SMILES WHEN THEY SEE THE PIECE.

[sWeeTAs]

OMG whats gonna happen!!!!

[billabongboy2075]

I will finish the episode tommorow
I couldn't finish before or maybe ill do it after i go to practice.....or maybe ill keep you in suspense....

Endurance The Final Countdown
Episode 5 (Part 3): Houston We Really Have A problem

AT THE LOGS
Rick: So far the orange, red, and purple teams have come back to the logs. Purple with a special ticket and Orange with a piece. You can put that up on the pole now!
Blue- Karma- Ingenuity
Purple- Discipline and the Immunity Idol
Orange- Courage-Heart- Luck
Red- Knowledge- Trust
Gray- Commitment- Strength

Rick: Orange you are now in the lead with 3 pieces, Red, Gray, and Blue are tied for 2nd while Purple is still in last place. But don't worry Purple. The game is NOT OVER YET!

Blue Team-
Sam: AHA! We got the samahdi! (She picks it up just as Adam sees them grab it.)

Confessionals- Adam
I FELT REALLY BUMMED OUT AND I KNEW THAT HEATHER WAS GOING TO BE REALLY thingyY ABOUT HOW WE DIDN'T WIN THE SAMAHDI BECAUSE OF ME. I JUST HOPE SHE GOT THE TICKET.

(Blue team sees Adam and he approaches them. They decide to walk back to the logs together.)
Adam: Heather is really going to be mad at me for not getting anything.
Sam: She is getting really mean now. You should be able to think for yourself. She's starting to get really bossy and demanding.
Nick: Yeah!
(They reach the logs and Orange smiles at blue when they come with the samahdi. Heather runs towards the logs but sees Adam empty handed. She frowns and scolds at him.)
Rick: Well for those who just got back, Purple has won the special ticket which they will read and tell us about in a minute, Orange won the Luck Piece, and Blue Team just won the samahdi. They will decide who to give it to later. Sorry Red and Gray but I have nothing else to give you. Purple, how about you tell us about the ticket.
Jade: well the ticket said we could trade a team that we wanted to go for a team that we wanted to come back. But.....
Kelly: There was another ticket to choose on the back that said to switch 1 player on 1 team to another. So.....we decided.............to use the switch player ticket.
Rick: Alright.
(Everyone looks shocked and Bella looks like she could cry!)
Rick: Purple, when everyone comes back here tonight to open the samahdi, you will also decide what 2 players will be switched. I've got nothing else for you. Go back and talk.

CONFESSIONALS- Ben and Christina
Ben: so yeah. We talked with Kelly and Jade and they said they were gonna switch Jake with Adam and then tommorow if they won, they would send Gray and Red. Then next temple either way we made it into final 3 cause we have Purple but if Purple loses then we have a saftey net of Blue. I don't think whoever comes back will win so we made it into final 3!
Christina: Plus purple has the immunity idol.

At the Pond:
Kelly: I'm still not sure who we should switch cause we want to get rid of Heather but not Adam so it would be easier to switch Jake and Adam but if Adam and Bella go home then we are still stuck with Heather.
Jade: Its coming down to the end. We might have to break promises but that's all we can do.
(Heather approaches them.)
Heather:Hey
Both: Hey.
Heather: Okay. I'm just going to get to the core of this. I know Red and us are going to be switched but I think if you switched maybe Christina and Sam you would have a better chance at winning. You would just be weakining Blue and Orange and I hate to say it but they are the strongest teams at the moment. I know how close you guys are to Orange but both of you can't win.
Jade: We'll think about it. Thanks for the advice.
Heather: Okay.

CONFESSIOANLS- KELLY
Are you frickin kidding me. That was the most pathetic attempt to sway our vote.

Jade: I know you're gonna hate me for this but.....I think she's right. I really think we put Sam on Orange and Christina on Blue.
Kelly: Whatever.

In the huts:
Sam: And the samahdi goes to....
Nick: Orange. They are turning into a threat and we need to stay ahead.
Sam: Fine. I do want to get back at Ben for making sure he didn't....well...
Nick: Okay....Orange then.
Sam: Yeah.

At the logs:
Rick: Okay everyone. Gather round for one of the most tense samahdi ceremonies this season. Now Gray. Heather, you look nervous
Heather: Ohhhh, yeah.
(Everyone laughs nervous laughs. Kelly looks angry.)
Rick: Kelly, you are looking a little tense right now, what's wrong?
Kelly: We'll just wait and see what happens. Wait and see.
Rick: Okay. Now Blue. Tell us who you are giving that dreaded samahdi to.
Sam: Well I think this goes to show what goes around comes around so...Orange come and get you samahdi.
Rick: Orange here is your samahdi. Ben, you can crack that open.
(Ben throws it down and it breaks into a bunch of tiny pieces. Kelly laughs.)
Christina: Its 5 little poles.
Rick: That means that you will be 5 poles less in the temple mission tomorrow. Now comes down to Purple for the biggest event of the night. Purple...do you want to give that ticket to anyone else and let them use it or do you.
(Jade gives Kelly a look and then sighs.)
Jade: I think we'll keep it and use it right now.
Rick: Now Purple...it all comes down to this.....which 2 players will be switched.
Kelly: It took a lot of consideration and thought but we have to go with switching







































































Christina to Blue and Sam to Orange.
(Rounds of OMG's go around while Heather smiles and Sam looks very angry.)
Christina: Don't do this to us!
Jade: Don't blame us! You guys are a threat so we couldn't help it.
Ben: Your best friends are now your worst enemies. You guys have no chance of winning now.
Sam: THat's no fair! I just gave the samahdi to myself! That is unfair. I call a redo.
Rick: I'm sorry but what is done is done. Here is an Orange shirt for you, Sam and a blue one for you,Christina.(Christina is still wearing a shocked face and is starting to tear. Kelly looks angrily at Jade. He then starts to whisper to her.)
Kelly: Thanks Jade, now we just made ourselves a target!
Jade: Stop it. You just said whatever, you could have prevented this.
Kelly: What ever happened to...not both teams can win?
Jade: Whatever. We have to win tomorrow cause if we do then we can use the immunity idol in final four and then we have a 2/3 of a chance of winning! We could win the money! By the time we win they will forget about what happened and forgive us.
Kelly: I'm giving our immunity idol to them next week and if we win, i get to choose what teams we will send.
Jade: FINE!
Kelly: FINE!
Rick: I've got nothing left for you. You guys can head back and have a good night. I'll see you tomorrow for the temple mission.
(Ben consoles Christina and swears to her that they will make it to final 2 together. If either of them won, Purple would go to temple.)
Ben: Gray won't send them but if we persuade Red to then they only have a 40 percent chance of not going to temple. Except they do have that immunity idol......
Christina: THIS STINKS LIKE HECK!
Sam: Hey teammate. Is it okay if I call you that?
