Real Life Endurance

[Mister Ham]

Hey everyone!
So I played an eight team game on Endurance at my house last weekend and I am going to write a fan-non-fiction based off of it!
I am going to make up some dialogue that accurately depicts the reactions of the teams.
I did not change anything that affected who won the challenges, temples, who received samadhis, etc.
I hope you all enjoy it!

----------------------------------------------------

Looking forward to it!

Episode 1 of 14: Flag Fanatics

Today was the big day. I had quite a few friends coming over to my house to play the game I've wanted to play since I saw my first episode. Sure it wouldn't be the same, but they're all good sports and it would be fun regardless. So I contacted them all a few weeks prior asking who would be interested, and the results came back better than expected. Everyone wanted to go (probably for the prizes and snacks that were going to be provided) and we had enough for eight teams! I put a lot of planning and thought into this so I knew it would be my best themed party yet. We already established the teams and colors so we knew before we came to the party. They were...

The Red Team of Bear and Vanessa!

These two girls could not be much more different. Bear is shy, athletic, and relaxed, while Vanessa likes to let everyone know what is going on. Together their differences may balance each other or lead to catastrophe. Next...

The Orange Team of Yann and Katelyn!

Yann and Katelyn are two of my close friends that have very energetic personalities. Yann is our foreign exchange student who had never heard of the show, but I taught him real quick. Together they are a very likable pair with great chemistry. Now for...

The Yellow Team of Mitch and Mary!

It's debatable that these are the two coolest kids around. Maybe I'm a little biased. We have played Survivor many times before and out of the 5 seasons we've played, we have made the finals all 5 times. Needless to say we were the most targeted team going into the game. Next...

The Green Team of Emma and Ashley!

These two are probably the quietest people I know. Although they lack great communication, their ability to go under the radar could very well play into their favor. Now...

The Blue Team of Alan and Liz!

Not only are they very funny, but they are easy to get along with too! Alan has the brawn while Liz has the personality you want to keep around. They might take the game by surprise! Now for...

The Purple Team of Kaleb and Laura!

These two are sort of the outcasts of the group. I am close with them, but beyond that they rarely talk to the other side of my friends. They will probably underestimated, but their weaker bonds with people could hurt them in the end. Now it's time for...

The Gray Team of Audrey and Ryan!

Ryan is my little brother who always takes part in the games, while Audrey is pretty new to it. Although Ryan knows a lot about it, he is often targeted for being young and immature. Maybe their teamwork will be different from expected. Lastly...

The Black Team of Kyle and Christina!

These two are most likely the most fit, and have great teamwork. Although they work great it is a disadvantage for them as well, as they can be very hard on themselves and get targeted easily. These two are very big threats to everyone, but especially my team.

Once the day came I was excited to begin. My friend Janelle took on hosting while the rest of us wanted to complete the challenges. I wrote her an outline of the game and a sort of script for the challenges and any group meetings. It was time for the game to begin!

Janelle: Thank you all for coming to the first Endurance party! This game is very similar to Survivor, but also has many other characteristics. There will be two types of missions, Endurance and Temple. In an Endurance Mission you will compete to win a piece and samadhi. A samadhi gives a disadvantage to any team of your liking in the Temple Mission. The pyramid pieces are the goal of this game; the more you have the better your chance of winning. Although in a normal game you would need all to win - they will actually just give you a great advantage in the final challenge. In the Temple Mission the winner can send two teams to be eliminated. One team will be victorious while one will be eliminated from the game forever. Choose wisely who you send, because karma can turn it's head at any second. Talking about pieces let's give out one to each team...

For Red, Courage.
For Orange, Discipline.
For Yellow, Luck.
For Green, Commitment.
For Blue, Perseverance.
For Purple, Teamwork.
For Gray, Heart.
And for Black, Leadership.

Mitch (Confessional): Really? Luck? That has to be the worst trait in the game. I better not end up at the temple anytime soon...

Laura (Confessional): Teamwork is the perfect piece for Kaleb! Even if we don't get along well with the other teams we have each other!

Janelle: So now you have your first piece, only thirteen more to go! But here is the great opportunity to gain a lead on the other teams already! The challenge is called Flag Fanatics. All eight teams will have one flag. You will have one pen and one marker/colored pencil of your team color. You have only seven minutes to make a flag. The flag must include you and your partner’s names, the team color you are on, and your pyramid piece name. I will vote on which flag is the best! The winner will receive the Ingenuity pyramid piece and the Samadhi. This Samadhi can be given to one team and it will hurt them in the temple mission. Which team will have the ingenuity to win? Let’s begin!

Mary: What are we going to do, you can't even see Yellow on a page!

Mitch: It's okay... we'll do our best.

Mitch (Confessional): Honestly if we lose the first challenge, it won't be a big deal to me. I want to see if anyone is targeting us, and I certainly don't want to make enemies already.

Kyle: This looks amazing! There's no way we are going to lose, this is great!

Audrey (Confessional): I am pretty good at art so I knew this challenge was my forte. But Yann, Kyle, and Liz are all artists too, so it's definitely going to be close!

Janelle: Only one minute left! It looks like everyone is struggling to finish their flag in time!

*The teams rush up one by one to hand in their flags*

Janelle: Okay I will look these over and have a result for you as soon as possible.

Alan (Confessional): I was nervous to say the least. The last thing I want is to have a disadvantage in the next mission, it is extremely important that we win!

Janelle: I have the results! In first place, winning the Ingenuity piece and the samadhi is...






















The Gray Team!

*Everyone looks shocked, including the Gray Team*

Kyle (Confessional): Not being biased, but our flag was way better... And how did Gray of all teams win!?

Janelle: Gray has taken the lead! We will meet in a few minutes to see who you will give the samadhi to.

*Everyone leaves the challenge area, camera pans to Mitch talking to Yann*

Mitch: So what are you thinking about an alliance?

Yann: I am a little skeptical that we could get caught, but I don't see a problem with it.

Mitch: I know for a fact Blue and Black will allign because they are great friends and very strong. And I have talked to Gray before the party and they are both on-board as well.

Yann: Then I don't see a problem, let's go it!

*They shake hands, camera pans to Kyle, Christina, and Alan talking*

Kyle: We can definitely control this game, we are the two strongest teams.

Alan: I can see it too, do you see any teams being a threat?

Christina: Honestly Gray winning was a fluke... I don't see anyone too strong. I like Yellow and Mary promised she wouldn't go against us.

Alan: There are so many teams in the middle that I can't see posing a threat. I promised Mitch before I wouldn't go after him at first but I know I can't stick to that forever, I want to win and if he's standing in front of that, he's fair game.

*Camera shows Audrey and Ryan talking*

Ryan: I don't really like Kyle's attitude and I think he wants to get rid of us.

Audrey: I don't really want enemies and I'm not sure if going after a strong team is the best idea if we want to stay in the game.

Ryan: Trust me; Mitch has our back and wants them out too. We could probably pull off another win in the Temple Mission...

Audrey: I will go with what you say, I don't care who gets it, I just hope it doesn't come back to bite us!

*Camera shows Janelle with the teams around her*

Janelle: Well Gray, have you came to a decision?

Audrey: Yes we have... I'm sorry but we have to give it to...




























The Black Team.

Kyle: What?

Christina: Didn't see that coming...

Janelle: This samadhi reads "you will have a one ball disadvantage in the Temple Mission." What does that mean? You will have to wait for the mission, until then, head back to the huts and enjoy your time in the game.

Kyle (Confessional): If Gray wanted an enemy they sure picked the worst team to have on their bad side.

Audrey (Confessional): I feel awful, but if you want to win the game you can't weed out the weak teams first. Hopefully this pays off for us.

*Credits, Preview of next episode*

Janelle: As you can see being friends with everyone you're playing against only makes the game harder. But what will the next mission bring when elimination is at steak?

Ryan: We're so close, let's go!

Kyle: Do we even get a chance?

: What did we ever do to deserve this?

Janelle: Before the next mission there will no longer be eight teams standing before me.

Bear and Vanessa: Courage
Yann and Katelyn: Discipline
Mitch and Mary: Luck
Ashley and Emma: Commitment
Alan and Liz: Perseverance
Kaleb and Laura: Teamwork
Audrey and Ryan: Heart, Ingenuity
Kyle and Christina: Leadership

End of Episode

[Cruise meerkat Youssy]

This is so cool! Did you add the confessionals in or did you actually do them? Also how did yall make alliances and stuff? One time I tried to play Survivor with my friends but they were so unenthusiastic about it and it was just a big ole failure...

[Mister Ham]

Thank you! And no I just based the confessionals off how they were acting at the time. And for alliances; a lot of them were made before the game. Orange, Gray, and Yellow were established before as well as Black and Blue, and Purple and Blue. Along the way though alliances were formed usually when teams went to temple or before a challenge or something. I've had probably about 6 Survivor parties! I've won 3 and Mary has won three! It is usually the same every time, the ones still in enjoy it but the ones who are out complain and try to make it stink for the rest of us We get really into it so some people take it a bit personal...

[Mister Ham]

To make things more simple, I'm changing the Black teams color to Brown so it is easier to understand. That way I don't have to make three people the same color!

[Mister Ham]

I am going to update this ASAP, but I have AP courses and scholarships coming up in there next two weeks and I need to focus on them first!

[Mister Ham]

Posting an episode shortly!

[Mister Ham]

Please remember that I changed Black to Brown to make reading easier!
Also, keep in mind; this whole game happened in one day so decisions may seem rushed.

Episode 2 of 14: Rollerball

Last time on Endurance! The Gray team took everyone by surprise by winning the Endurance mission!
Janelle: The Gray team wins!
While Gray was happy to win the piece, they ran into conflict over deciding who would get the Samadhi.
Audrey: I don't really want enemies and I'm not sure if going after a strong team is the best idea if we want to stay in the game.
Janelle: Ultimately they decided to give it to the Brown team, which will severely hurt their chances in winning the next mission. Right now Gray is in the lead with two pieces, while all the other teams have one. Who will win the temple mission, and who will become the first team to be eliminated on Endurance?

Bear and Vanessa: Courage
Yann and Katelyn: Discipline
Mitch and Mary: Luck
Ashley and Emma: Commitment
Alan and Liz: Perseverance
Kaleb and Laura: Teamwork
Audrey and Ryan: Heart, Ingenuity
Kyle and Christina: Leadership


Aside from the other teams, Blue and Brown are having a conversation.
Kyle: I’m so mad we got the Samadhi, we did absolutely nothing to deserve this.
Alan: It was to be a hard choice, I mean Gray has to know that we don’t particularly want to work with them but I still don’t think it was a good enough reason...
Alan (Confessional): It’s hard for me because I like Audrey and I don’t want Gray out, but how do I know who to side with? Gray had a challenge tailored to their skills, while Brown is actually strong...
Christina: I know Ryan doesn’t like me but why not go after a weak team like Purple or Green that could never do a thing in return to hurt you?
Kyle: You best be aware that if we win, Gray will be making that first trip.

The camera shows a new conversation, with Alan talking to Mitch.
Mitch: I don’t know if that Samadhi is a good thing or will be a bad thing...
Mitch (Confessional): It’s difficult because I made an alliance with Orange and Gray before the Samadhi was handed out. I don’t want this alliance to get out because then I could become a target by association, and let’s be honest, Blue and Brown will win over Orange and Gray. Alan and I are good friends but I know for this game at least, he is with Kyle.
Alan: Kyle is pretty angry about it, hopefully neither Gray or Brown wins today.
Mitch: Brown is strong though, I don’t know if this Samadhi can stop them. I know you’re close with them, but I don’t trust them.
Alan: I mean I’ll be honest; your team has come up in temple decisions. I don’t want to go after you, but sooner or later it’s going to have to happen.
Mitch: I feel the same; let’s stay friendly until the game really gets going.
Alan: Sounds good enough for me.

You can see the eight teams lined up in front of Janelle on the challenge field, each time in front of a box with their name on it.



Janelle: Today’s mission is called Rollerball. You all have one plank. With that plank you must run across the field to the box of tennis balls. You must then put only one tennis ball on the plank and with your partner you must try to bring the ball back to the team boxes. Then you will dump the ball into the teams box that you want eliminated from the game. If you drop the ball on your way you must go back to the box of tennis balls and start again. Once a team has three balls in their box, they are gone from the challenge. Except Brown, you only need two balls in your box to be eliminated. The last team standing will send two teams to the temple of fate, any questions?
Kaleb (Confessional): I feel good knowing that this challenge is based on teamwork. Laura and I might not be as strong as the other teams but we work together great!
Janelle: This mission is an important one! Is everyone ready? ...GO!

The eight teams all run at the box, putting a tennis ball on their plank.
Janelle: It looks like a few teams are going to try to get Brown out quick!
Kyle: Do we even get a chance?
Ryan: We have to get out Brown Audrey or they’ll get us out!
Janelle: Brown puts one into Gray, Green into Purple, and Yellow and Gray drop their balls in Brown’s box! That’s it, Brown is out!

Kyle slams his plank on the ground.
Kyle: Let’s go blue! Get out Gray!
Christina (Confessional): I didn’t know people wanted us out this bad. We already had a disadvantage, so why continue to hurt us?

Thirty seconds have passed.

Red [X]
Orange [X]
Yellow [XX]
Green [X]
Blue [ ]
Purple [XX]
Gray [X]
Brown [XXX]

Janelle: Yellow and Purple only need one ball to be elimin- Blue puts a ball in Purple’s box and they are out!
Mitch (to Mary): Blue has nothing in their box, we have to start putting some in their box!
Janelle: Green drops a ball in Yellow’s box and they are out!

Fifteen seconds later.

Red [XXX]
Orange [XX]
Yellow [XXX]
Green [XX]
Blue [X]
Purple [XXX]
Gray [XX]
Brown [XXX]

Janelle: Red, Yellow, Purple, and Brown are out! Blue is slightly in the lead right now.
Kyle: Go Blue!
Janelle: Gray puts a ball in Green’s box and they are now out of the competition! Three teams remain!
Mitch: Gray if you don’t start going after Blue you’ll be out!
Mitch (Confessional): I really shouldn’t have said that considering Blue is going to win...
Janelle: Blue puts a ball in Orange and they are out! And only a few seconds later Gray puts one in Blue’s, it is a race to the finish!
Ryan: We’re so close, let’s go!
Liz: We’re almost there!
Janelle: And the winner of the temple mission is...


























the Blue team! You will choose what two teams will go to temple and possibly be eliminated! You will have only a few minutes to come up with your decision. Good luck!

Alan and Liz are found discussing their options with Kyle.
Alan: I am close with all of these teams, I really don’t know what to do. What if we both choose one team to send?
Liz: Yeah that’s fair, it just stinks because now he have a target no matter what.
Kyle: Keep in mind Gray is against us.
Alan (Confessional): Can Kyle stay out of it? Until they give us a reason to go after them, Gray is safe since I’m friends with Audrey.
Alan: Well someone has to... I want to send Orange.
Liz: I guess I’ll do Red because I rarely talk to either of them.
Alan: Fair enough. Let’s just hope Orange goes because Red won’t be able to hurt us if they come back.
Liz: They better!

All eight teams are shown sitting around Janelle.
Janelle: Blue, you were victorious in the temple mission and get the power of choosing two teams to send to temple. Who will it be?
Alan: I don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, but in this game it’s impossible. I’m sorry but the two teams we are sending up are...


























Red and Orange.
Vanessa: WHAT?
Katelyn: No way...
Janelle: Red and Orange, you will be making the trip to the temple of fate. Although two teams will go up, only one will come back. I will see you there in a few.

The teams disperse and Orange is seen talking to each other.
Yann: I can’t believe they are going after us, we are the nicest team here!
Katelyn: I didn’t see that coming, what did we ever do to deserve this?
Yann: I mean I know we are new to the parties but it’s still not fair. We can beat Red at temple though, I just know it.

The six teams are shown saying their goodbyes to Red and Orange. Yellow and Gray hug Yann and Katelyn while Purple wishes luck to Red.
Mitch (Confessional): Don’t get me wrong, I want Orange back 100 percent, but if they don’t, I know I can make an ally.
Laura (Confessional): We’re really lucky to not be sent up to the first temple. But still, I don’t want to see Red go, they’re so nice!
Bear (Confessional): I try to stay calm but I will never understand why we are going up first. Blue better hope we are eliminated.
Katelyn (Confessional): Revenge will be the theme of the next round.
Vanessa (Confessional): I can’t put my anger into words. We may not be strong, but when I come back I will give it my absolute all to make sure we never come back.

The two teams are shown walking into the temple of fate.
Janelle: Red and Orange, welcome to the temple of fate. You will both be competing to stay in the competition for the Endurance title and trophy. The game, simple. To stay, not so easy. You will compete in a game similar to rock, paper, scissors, but instead is fire, water, and wood. Fire burns wood. Wood floats on water. And water puts out the fire. The first team to win two rounds will stay in the game while the loser, is one for good. Let’s start with round one.

Katelyn (whispering): Fire for Orange.
Yann (whispering): Let’s do it.
Janelle: Thank you both. May the dominant element please rise... now.


























Red: Water
Orange: Fire

Janelle: Water puts out the fire! Red one more win and you return. Orange, one more loss and you will be eliminated. Time for round two.

Katelyn (whispering): Let’s keep it the same one.
Bear (whispering): Should we try water again?
Vanessa (whispering): Wait a second...
Janelle: Let the dominant element rise!


























Red: Wood
Orange: Fire

Janelle: Orange has forced a tie! Whoever wins will be heading back into the game!
Yann (whispering): A third time?
Bear (whispering): They won’t do fire again, will they?
Janelle: Who will return and who will stay? Let’s see...


























Red: Wood
Orange: Water

Yann and Katelyn sigh and hug while Bear and Vanessa high five with big smiles.

Janelle: Orange, I’m sorry but wood floats on water, which means you are eliminated. You both had great chemistry together, and the other teams are sure to miss you a lot. You still have an influence on the game though. You choose what team can have the Discipline piece and become one step closer to Endurance champions. Thank you for playing.
Yann and Katelyn disappear behind the flames.
Janelle: Red, you are the first survivors of the first temple of fate, I’m sure you have a lot to prove to the remaining teams. That’s all I have for you, good luck!
Vanessa (Confessional): Blue made a big mistake, they have no idea what is next to come!

Around the campfire the other six teams are waiting, they see two figures approaching.
Kyle: It can’t be...
Mary: They did it!
Yellow, Purple, Green, and Gray hug Red while Blue and Brown stand aside.
Bear: You can’t get rid of us that easily!
Alan (Confessional): I expected whoever came back to rub it in our faces. We sent you before and we’re not afraid to do it again.
Ashley (Confessional): There is a clear divide between Blue and Brown and the other teams. But do these five other teams including mine have any secret deals or alliances?

Credits, previews of next episode

Janelle: With Orange gone, the game begins to take off. Who will gain control of the game with the next Endurance mission?
Christina: Are you kidding me?
Janelle: Who will get the Discipline piece left by Orange and become one step closer to winning Endurance?
Ryan: Betrayal.
Janelle: Find out next time on Endurance!

Bear and Vanessa: Courage
Yann and Katelyn
Mitch and Mary: Luck
Ashley and Emma: Commitment
Alan and Liz: Perseverance
Kaleb and Laura: Teamwork
Audrey and Ryan: Heart, Ingenuity
Kyle and Christina: Leadership

Should I continue writing these? I want to keep making episodes but if no one will read/reply I'm going to stop :/

[Pilicious (Marshall)]

Continue them, just because no one replies doesn't mean they aren't reading ^.^

Episode 3 of 14: The Brains and the Brawn

Last time on Endurance! The tides turned when the Blue team won the temple mission, and the power to send two teams to the temple of fate.
In an attempt to preserve friendships, they sent the Red and Orange teams.
Outraged by their choice, they swore revenge on the Blue team.
Bear: Blue better hope we are eliminated.
At the temple of fate, the Red team was victorious, making Orange the first team eliminated from the game.
With one team gone, tensions have already risen.
Who will win the endurance mission and gain control of the game?
Find out on Endurance!

Bear and Vanessa: Courage
Mitch and Mary: Luck
Ashley and Emma: Commitment
Alan and Liz: Perseverance
Kaleb and Laura: Teamwork
Audrey and Ryan: Heart, Ingenuity
Kyle and Christina: Leadership

The camera shows the seven teams sitting around Janelle.

Janelle: Well there it is, the seven teams who escaped the first elimination. As you all know one team, Orange, unfortunately did not escape and was eliminated at the temple of fate. They left behind a note, and their Discipline pyramid piece. Emma, you’re next to me, why don’t you read it?
Emma: Okay!

Hey everyone! Although it really sucks to be the first team out, we still had a lot of fun. First, Blue team; we wish you did not send us. We never did anything to hurt you and we wish we came back to give you a taste of your own medicine. Brown, you’re whiny, we hope you follow the same path. Red team, we admire you both even if you beat us at the temple. You two deserve to go far and I hope that you don’t go to temple again. Best of luck to all, but we are giving our piece to Yellow, since Yann is close to Mitch and Katelyn to Mary. Stay classy.
- The Orange Team, Yann and Katelyn

Janelle: There you have it! Yellow, you are now tied for the lead with the Gray team!
The Yellow team high-fives.
Janelle: Today you will compete in an endurance mission for another piece and the samadhi. See you there!
Janelle leaves.
Vanessa: Congrats Yellow!
Kyle: Did they really have to be so bitter about it?
Christina: We didn’t even do anything to them!
Alan: It’s a game. We’re all friends here and obviously someone will get hurt down the line.
Mitch (confessional): For right now, I am letting other teams make enemies on their own. Why win now if it will only make me a bigger target?

The Blue and Black teams are talking away from the group.
Alan: I know that one of us have to win today, we are a target and since they probably have figured out we’re working together, they’ll go after you too...
Kyle: Well there are two teams and only one samadhi. We just have to make sure someone trustworthy wins.
Christina: Yeah just because one of us gets it, the other will have an equal shot in the temple mission.

Ryan and Mitch are shown speaking behind the house.
Mitch: I’m honestly surprised you weren’t sent to temple, seeing as how you gave the samadhi to Black. I’m sure they’re aligned with Blue.
Ryan: Well Audrey said she is close with Alan so they will do their best to protect us.
Mitch (Confessional): Maybe Blue has too many alliances to maintain, we might not be as safe as we thought... I’m sure Green is with them too, which leaves Red and Purple...

The seven teams are shown walking up to the challenge.
Janelle: Today you will compete in a challenge that I am sure you have done before. Although it is a simple challenge, the odds of you winning today are one in fourteen because you play as an individual.
Kaleb: I like where this is going.
Janelle: Today your endurance mission is called The Brains and the Brawn! This challenge will be a game on ninja, and the last person standing will win the mission for their team. You will stand in a circle, where you must try to hit one of the opponents hands to eliminate them. The winner of the last temple of fate will begin. Who has the mental and physical strength to outwit their opponents? The stakes are high, since the winner will win the strength piece and the samadhi. Vanessa you can begin.

The challenge starts with Vanessa making a swing at Emma’s hand. The hit is successful and Emma is removed from the challenge. The process continues as more and more players are eliminated. After Emma, Kaleb, Bear, Laura, Alan, Mary, Liz, Vanessa and Audrey are eliminated.
Janelle: Red and Blue are the first teams completely eliminated from the challenge. The only team with both partners standing is the Brown team! Mitch, Ashley, Ryan, Kyle and Christina remain... Kyle hits Mitch’s hand and the Yellow team is out! Who will win, Green, Gray, or Brown?
Alan: Come on Kyle, you can do it!
Emma: You’re doing great Ashley!
Mitch: You can pull this off Ryan...

Ashley takes a swing at Christina but misses. On Christina’s turn she goes for Ashley’s hand and is successful.
Janelle: Only three players remain, if either Kyle or Christina gets Ryan, the Brown team wins!
Mitch (Confessional): Ryan is only twelve years old and Kyle and Christina are more than five years older than him. If they win they look bad for getting out a kid and if they lose it’s almost funny.

Christina swings for Ryan and misses. On Ryan’s turn he goes to a more defensive position. Kyle goes for Ryan’s left hand but misses. Christina shakes her arm to Ryan’s right hand but also misses. Ryan quickly swings and gets out Christina.
Janelle: Christina is out! Will Ryan the underdog be able to get out Kyle, one of the strongest players?
Mitch: Go Ryan! ... and Kyle!
Alan: C’mon Kyle, you’ve got this...
Kyle (Confessional): This was a pretty important mission by this point. Whoever loses is going to get the samadhi. Gray is going down.
Audrey (Confessional): If Ryan pulled this off it would be a huge upset...
The two keep swinging for each other until eventually one of their hands get hit.
Janelle: The winner of the samadhi and the strength piece is...






















































The Gray team!

Christina (Confessional): Are you kidding me? Kyle just got beat by Ryan...
Mitch (Confessional): Haha can you believe it? A twelve year old beating high school seniors. Classic.
Janelle: Gray team, you now have taken the lead again! Not only do you now have three pieces, you also get to give a disadvantage to any one team in this game. You will have a few minutes to discuss who you are going to give it to. Good luck.

Ryan and Audrey are shown talking away from the group.
Ryan: The decision is pretty clear to me.
Audrey: But wouldn’t you be angry if you were targeted every single time?
Ryan: Let’s face it, if we lost to them, we would have definitely got it. Giving it to anyone else would be betrayal.
Audrey: Well technically you won so this is your call, I just hope it doesn’t come back to bite us...

The seven teams are shown around Janelle.
Janelle: Well Gray, who will be receiving the samadhi.
Kyle (Confessional): I’m not expecting anything good out of this...
Ryan: Well this seemed like an obvious choice. We are sorry but we are giving the samadhi to...























































the Brown team.
No one seems surprised as Brown gets up and breaks open the samadhi. A drawing of a clock comes out.
Janelle: As you can see the second hand is pointing to the three, which is fifteen seconds. Your team will have to wait fifteen seconds before starting the mission. Although this makes it much more difficult, it is not impossible. I will see you all at the next mission.

The Brown team storms off with Blue behind; the other teams stand in silence.
Kyle (Confessional): We or Blue HAS to win this mission. We can’t take the risk of both being sent up.
Mitch (Confessional): Gray is our strongest alliance; I hope their decisions do not screw us over in the end...
Vanessa (Confessional): It’s not exactly what we wanted, but I’m at least glad this time, we aren’t on the receiving end.

Credits, preview of next episode.

Janelle: Now that the game is starting to heat up, which team will find itself in power, and which teams will face elimination?
The seven teams are shown lined up on a starting line.
Janelle: Not only must you learn to trust your team, but your partner as well!
Kaleb: What are you even saying?
Janelle: Only on Endurance!


Bear and Vanessa: Courage
Mitch and Mary: Luck, Discipline
Ashley and Emma: Commitment
Alan and Liz: Perseverance
Kaleb and Laura: Teamwork
Audrey and Ryan: Heart, Ingenuity, Strength
Kyle and Christina: Leadership

[Mister Ham]

I'm just going to post smaller recaps of the episode since no one comments.

[Mister Ham]

Episode 4 of 14: Blind Faith

Making really quick episodes since I want to actually finish a story even if no one really reads it

After the Gray team revealed they were giving the samadhi to the Brown team, emotions ran high.
Going into the next challenge Brown and Blue made a pact to try to get rid of the Gray team once and for all.
In the challenge Janelle explained it would be a blindfolded race, with one teammate in a blindfold while the other shouted out the direction for their partner to go.
Boxes were spread among the field, and at the end, a single tiki.
The first team to get the tiki could take off their blindfold, meet up with their partner, and win the challenge.
Anyone who touched the boxes would immediately be out of the challenge.
The Brown team had to wait fifteen seconds before being able to start the challenge.
Once Janelle said go all of the teams began to shout out directions which made it near impossible for the others to hear their partner.
Through a lot of confusion, Alan ignored the calls of his partner and already had a plan made out before he put his blindfold on.
Only about one minute in the challenge and one team was victorious: the Blue team!
After the challenge Blue vowed to keep their deal with Gray.
Although Alan and Liz were good friends with Audrey they decided to do what was best for their alliance.
At the temple meeting Blue revealed that Red would be taking the trip to temple along with the Gray team.
At the temple the Red team was able to come back from being down 0-1 and beat the Gray team.
When the Red team returned, there was a low level of excitement from the cast.
Now that the strongest team in the game has been eliminated who will be in the lead?
With Yellow losing its two biggest allies to the first two tribal councils, with the Blue and Brown alliance take control of the game?
Mitch: We decided that enough is enough.
Or will new alliances begin to form in the game?
Ashley: As far as I can see, it's now or never.
