Endurance 10: Bloodlines

[Pgcool™]

Preview

PG: It's been over 10 years since Chase & Elsie came out on top as the winners of Endurance 9: Maui! And they showed the ultimate form of teamwork.

Flashback to Chase & Elsie receiving 2 Samadhis, and winning 3 Temple of Fates

PG: They got thrown disadvantage after disadvantage, but together they proved that teamwork can win it all!

Flashback to Chase & Elsie winning 2 challenges, and winning the game at the final Temple of Fate

PG: And 10 years later... we're back! And this time, we're taking the game to a whole new level!

Skye: Playing this game with my brother is going to be so much fun! He's always looking out for me, and now it's time to repay him the favour.

Nolan: I'm out here playing with my cousin... and it's not like we don't get along or anything. We just don't ever really see each other. So I don't know too much about her.

PG: We're taking 10 pairs of bloodlines and throwing them into the game of Endurance! Will the stress of the game tear close relationships apart?

Isabella: I help my brother through a lot of his personal issues. Usually the big brother is looking out for the little sister, but our relationship is kind of the opposite

Myles: This is something I've been wanting to do my whole life... and now that I get to do it with my big sister! YAHOOO!!!

PG: Or could the thrill of competition potentially strengthen severed relationships?

Aiden: She picks on me a lot... I get I'm young and everything. But I just want her to be a big sister I can look up to.

Tori: We got separated when I was really little. I live with my mom, he lives with dad... I barely every see him. So it's basically like I'm getting to know my long lost brother Laughs

PG: In the end, only one pair will come out on top, working through any differences they have... and become Endurance champions... this is...

ENDURANCE 10: BLOODLINES

[Cruise meerkat Youssy]

OH MY GOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD

[Pgcool™]

Episode 1: Meet the Bloodlines

Camera pans across the beautiful island of Fiji, and zooms in on PG.

PG: I'm standing here in the beautiful island of Fiji, anxiously awaiting a new crop of 20 teenagers, ready to battle it out in the ultimate competition! In the end, only 2 of them will be left to call themselves Endurance Champions! It's been over 10 years, and let me just say... it's good to be back! Let's get to it...

Camera pans in on two separate boats whizzing through the water.

PG: This season we decided to kick things up a notch. Instead of bringing together complete strangers and throwing them into the game, we decided to bring in pairs of family members. Whether that be siblings, cousins, or half siblings. It's sure to bring a whole new level to the game of Endurance, and I can't wait to see how it plays out!

Camera zooms in on the first boat, where the first five pairs are onboard. Camera zooms in on the first pair.

Jacob: My name's Jacob, and I'm 15 years old.
Skye: And I'm Skye, I'm 12 years old. And we are brother and sister!
Jacob: Life was going great... I was the only child, I got whatever I wanted, everyone loved me... and then this little brat came along!
Skye: HEY!
Jacob: I'm just kidding! I love my little sister so much. I'd do anything for her.
Skye: Aw! And I love you. You're always looking out for me.
Jacob: Let's do this!

Camera pans around the boat, and zoom in on the second pair.

Holly: I'm Holly!
Paulie: I'm Paulie!
Both: And we are 14 year old twins!
Both chuckle
Holly: I mean... I don't think we are like those annoying twins that-
Paulie: Finish each others sentences?
Holly: Yeah... exactly. That's not the
Paulie: Type of twins we are!
Both chuckle.
Holly: Oh god, people are going to hate us.

Camera zooms out to the water, and back in on the third pair.

Willow: Hey, I'm Willow and I'm 12 years old.
Nolan: And I'm her cousin Nolan, and I'm 15 years old.
Willow: We've never really been the closest of cousins.
Nolan: Yeah, we see each other for family dinners and stuff... but the age difference.
Willow: What 15 year old would want to hang out with a dinky little 12 year old like me, huh?
Nolan: No! No! Nothing like that... you're cool. This'll be a good experience for us.

Camera zooms to the back of the boat, and zooms in on the fourth pair.

Myles: I'm Myles, and I'm 13 years old.
Julia: And I'm his older sister Julia, and I'm 15.
Myles: It's so cool to go on an adventure like this with my big sister.
Julia: I'm looking forward to it. But I've seen the show... and the drama that can come from it.
Myles: Yeah... but with the two of us together, we're unstoppable! We'll fight off all the meanies!
Julia Laughs

Camera zooms out, and quickly back in on the fifth pair.

Kendall: Hey, I'm Kendall and I'm 15 years old.
Quincy: And I'm Quincy, also 15 years old... and we are cousins.
Kendall: It's actually crazy, we were born like a week apart... so we basically grew up together.
Quincy: It's true... we are super close. And I think the advantage we have over the siblings in this game is we never had to fight for our parents attentions.
Kendall: Laughing Yeah there's no animosity over being some sort of favourite child or anything like that.

Camera zooms out to show all five pairs, then zooms back in on PG.

PG: Everybody has a different backstory, and each relationship is unique in their own way. How will those affect their gameplays? We'll soon find out.

Camera zooms into the second boat, and zooms in on the six pair.

Kayla: I'm Kayla and I'm 14 years old.
Aiden: And I'm her little brother Aiden, and I'm 12 years old.
Kayla: Yup, my little twerp of a brother.
Aiden: Hey!
Kayla: What? If I'm going to say it behind your back, I might as well say it to your face.

Camera zoom in on the seventh pair.

Devyn: Hey, I'm Devyn and I'm 15 years old.
Veronica: And I'm Veronica, also 15 years old. We're cousins!
Devyn: It's kind of interesting... our parents don't get along. Like, at all!
Veronica: But because we go to school together and we're in the same class... we're super close.
Devyn: Kind of strange... she's my cousin, but she's more just a school friend than anything.

Camera zooms out to the back of the boat, and zooms in on the eighth pair.

Dominic: Hi, my names Dominic, and I'm 15 years old.
Isabella: And I'm his little sister, Isabella! I'm 13.
Dominic: I try and look out for my little sister as much as possible.
Isabella: I'd say I do a lot more looking out for you.
Dominic: It's true... I really do love you for that.
Isabella: Aw, come here! Hugs

Camera zooms back out, and in on the ninth pair.

Micah: Hey, I'm Micah and I'm 15 years old.
Tori: And I'm Tori, I'm also 13 years old. We're siblings.
Micah: I mean, we get along well enough I guess.
Tori: Our parents got divorced when I was really little. I grew up with our mom.
Micah: Yeah, and I grew up with dad. Honestly we don't really see each other much.
Tori: Which is why this is going to be a perfect time to get to know each other!

Camera zooms in on the final pair.

Jasmine: I'm Jasmine, and I'm 14 years old!
Wyatt: And I'm her cousin Wyatt, and I'm 15 years old!
Jasmine: He's cool. We're not like those cousins that never see each other.
Wyatt: Yeah, and majority of times when we see each other it's all good!
Jasmine: Yeah, but you like to pick on me.
Wyatt: You make it so easy sometimes! Laughs
Jasmine: That's not funny.

Camera zooms back out and shows the two boats. 

PG: It's easy to get along in everyday life. But the stress of the game will definitely put these relationships to the ultimate test! In the end, only one pair will remain to call themsleves Endurance Champions!

Camera pans to both boats approaching the beach, as everyone starts piling off excitedly and stand in front of PG.

Julia: Oh... my... GOSH! Getting off that boat, and actually touching the sand. Am I really here? is this really happening to me?

Devyn: I grew up watching this show... reruns of course, since it's been 10 years. Laughs. But this is just so surreal! I never in a million years expected I'd be out here playing my favourite game... WITH MY COUSIN!

PG: Welcome to Endurance 10: Bloodlines! 

Everyone cheers and claps.

PG: It's been 10 years since we crowned Chase and Elsie champions back in Miami. And those two proved more than any other winners we've had, that you truly do need good teamwork in order to pull away all the way to the end. From being thrown samadhi after samadhi their way, to surviving three visits to the Temple of Fate. Those two fought the odds, proved they had the teamwork, and came out Endurance Champions!

Aiden: I watched Chase and Elsie... and those two inspired me. Elsie was only 13 and managed to win... I might be a year younger than that, but it's just kind of eye opening that anyone can win this.

Willow: When PG is talking about how great teamwork is what will lead to winning, I'm just staring down Nolan. Cuzzo, we might not be the closest, but we are putting that all aside! I want to win!

PG: Now usually we take 20 strangers, and pair them up with another stranger. We force them to get to know one another and work together. But this time it's different.... You already know your partner. That can either be a huge advantage, or a huge disadvantage! If you get along in the outside world, it could be great for you. But keep in mind, the stress of the game could change all that. You've never been tested in an environment like this. Or if you barely know each other, or don't get along outside of the game... who knows, this could be the bonding experience you need to bring yourselves together!

Camera pans from pair to pair once again. Some looking excited, and some looking nervous.

PG: The only one certainty in this game is only one pair will walk away as Endurance Champions! The winning team will not only receive a all expense paid 2 week trip to anywhere of their choice in the world... but they will also receive $25,000 to share!

Myles: I've always wanted to go to Australia! Kangaroo's are just the coolest animals ever. So when I win this, that is where I'm heading.

PG: Alright, before I let you guys head off and check out your new home, I have a warning for you. Just because you are already in teams, doesn't mean you're off the hook from the Right to Stay!

Gasps and shocked faces among everyone.

PG: You'll notice your shelters only have room for 16 people, so by the end of the day we are going to be saying goodbye to our first 2 teams.

Veronica: I did not come all the way out here to go home on the first day. And besides school, this is the only time Devyn and I are ever going to get together. So you bet we're going to kick some butt and stay here as long as possible!

PG: With that, you guys can go check out your shelters and get to know one another! I will see you later today for you Right to Stay!

Camera shows the group running off behind PG as they make their way into the clearing, and approach the shelters.

Aiden: Cool! They're treehouses! Stars climbing up the ladder.

Kayla: Careful Aiden! Don't want to fall and break your leg again!

Kayla: Ok, don't get me wrong... I love my brother, I really do. But sometimes he can just be so careless and annoying. I don't remember being like that when I was 12... was I?

Dominic: Staring at the ladder. Uh... I'm kind of... scared of heights.

Holly: Well you're going to have to get over it if you're planning to get any sleep!

Paulie: Yeah! I don't see any bed down here! 

Both Holly and Paulie laugh as they speed up the ladder

Isabella: Hey... you got this. Just don't think of it as a heights thing, and just think of it as an adventure.

Dominic: Sigh You're right. I can do this. Starts climbing.

Dominic: You know, it's funny. Usually the older brother would be looking out for the younger sister. But... I deal with so much anxiety in my life that I can't possibly look out for both her AND myself. I couldn't ask for a better sister, she does so much to get me through my struggles.

Camera pans to the inside of the shelter, and everybody sitting inside.

Quincy: How cool is it that they have us paired with our loved ones out here! That's never happened before, has it?

Paulie: Well, considering PG said this is the first time ever-

Holly: I'd assume that means it's never happened before! Laughs along with Paulie.

Quincy: Oh... sorry, it's just kind of exciting... that's all.

Wyatt: Ignore them bro. You have a right to be excited. I think we all are pretty stoked to me here.

Wyatt: Man... those twins just scream trouble. We're all here trying to let the excitement sink in, and they're kind of just making fun of everybody for being excited? Dude, this is a dream for some of us. Let us feel how we feel.

Camera shows Wyatt and Quincy walking on the beach.

Wyatt: Yo, I just want you to know I got your back. Whether it's against those twins, or just in the game in general. You seem like a cool dude.

Quincy: Thanks! You seem pretty cool too. Kind of cool that we're part of cousins teams too.

Wyatt: Oh I never really thought about that. You don't think this is somehow going to turn into a war of the teams of siblings versus the team of cousins do you?

Quincy: I sure hope not, that would be a pretty dumb reason for an alliance. I just think you're a straight up guy.

Quincy: It's kind of an interesting game, because the friendships I make are the friendships that Kendall has to deal with, and vice versa. Luckily we're pretty close, I know the types of people she gets along with and who she doesn't.

Kendall and Quincy sitting on a log together by the beach.

Kendall: How are you feeling so far about everyone?

Quincy: I don't really have too strong of feelings right now. Wyatt seem's like a really good guy.

Kendall: Yeah, he seems like he'd be a good guy to keep on our side. I talked to Jasmine a bit and she seems nice as well.

Quincy: The only ones that throw me off right now are the twins...

Kendall: Agreed. They just seem like they're going out of their way to be hurtful for no reason.

Kendall: Quincy and I are so close in real life it's crazy. I look at some of these sibling relationships, and they don't even seem anywhere near the level Quincy and I are. I mean... the twins seem pretty close, but in a bad way. It's like they're both evil, and that's the reason they're so close.

Camera shows Aiden, Skye and Willow off on the beach together.

Aiden: How cool is this? Living in treehouses... the beach is our backyard!

Willow: Giggles It is pretty amazing. It's like I'm living in a dream.

Skye: How crazy is it that we're the three youngest here!

Aiden: That's true! And we're out here having the most fun of course!

Willow: So far I've just been hanging out with the other two 12 year olds. Aiden and I actually have a lot in common, more than just our age. I'm not very close to Nolan at all... barely know anything about him honestly. And from what I've seen so far, Kayla's pretty mean to Aiden. So it's kind of nice to be making friends with someone my age, and who's in the same boat as me in terms of teammates. And Skye seems like a sweetheart.

Camera on Myles and Julia hanging out.

Myles: Isn't this amazing! It's what I've always dreamed of!

Julia: Yeah... it's alright I guess.

Myles: Huh? What's wrong?

Julia: I don't know, I just get a weird vibe from everyone. That's all.

Myles: What do you mean?

Julia: The twins really rubbed me the wrong way, and it just seems like everybody is off in groups... yet here we are. It worries me.

Myles: Well then, let's get ourselves into some of these groups!

Julia: I was so excited before we got out here. But as soon as we stepped foot on the island, something just clicked. What happens out here, doesn't just stay out here. If something happens between me and my brother, that goes back to the real life with us. And it just kind of scares me to think that.

Camera pans to Devyn and Veronica talking.

Devyn: This is insane. Like seriously, we cannot tell our moms.

Veronica: Oh they would so kill us if they found out we were out here together!

Devyn: Our moms don't even know that we go to the same school! That's how much they hate each other... it's weird. I don't know what happened, I don't ask questions. All I know is my mom wants nothing to do with her sister, and she wants me to have nothing to do with Veronica. I am so dead when she finds out about this.

Julia and Myles walk over to Devyn and Veronica.

Myles: Hey guys! Just wanted to come say hi and introduce ourselves. I'm Myles.

Julia: I'm Julia!

Devyn: Hey! I'm Devyn and this is Veronica.

Veronica: So what do you guys think of everything so far?

Julia: I mean, you guys are really the first people I've talked to. Everyone sort of just scattered off and did their own thing.

Devyn: Yeah, I guess because we're all out here with loved ones it's a little bit different than typical Endurance. People are off with their loved ones strategizing and what not.

Julia: Yeah, I guess you're right. How about those twins though?

Veronica: Oh my god, they're the worst!

Veronica: I've talked to a few people so far, and it seems like the twins are a common enemy out here. You can't put yourself out there on the first day as the mean people... especially not in a season like this. If you come after someones loved one, you're getting two heads barking back at you.

Julia: I feel a bit better after talking with Devyn and Julia. I guess my brother's right, I do just kind of have to put myself out there and not worry about what drama might unfold. Giggles Who would have thought I'd be taking advice from my little brother? 

Camera pans to Micah and Tori talking.

Micah: So... uh, how's mom been?

Tori: She's been good. She talks about you a lot.

Micah: So weird that we're here in this situation. I mean, I see you like... once a year if I'm lucky.

Tori: And now we're going to be together everyday for at least a few days.

Micah: Hey... that's not the winner attitude I want from my partner.

Tori: Right... we're going to be together everyday for at least 3 weeks!

Micah: That's more like it!

Micah: It's going to be really interesting getting to know my sister over the next few weeks... because honestly I know very little about her. I knew 3 year old her pretty well, but I was 5 years old, and let's be real... Do you remember anything from when you were 5? Didn't think so.

Jacob walks over to Tori and Micah.

Jacob: Hey guys, we got a message in the bottle. Everyone's gathered in the treehouse.

Tori: Oooh message in the bottle!

Tori: Everything about this experience has been so amazing so far. I mean, we're living in treehouses... I'm stuck on an island, working on a team with my brother who I haven't really been all that close to in life. And now we get a message in a bottle! How cool is that? Of course, I'm guessing nothing good will be coming from a message in a bottle.

Jacob, Tori, and Micah climb the ladders of the treehouse, and enter where everyone is waiting for them.

Jacob: Alright guys, I'll go ahead and read it out.
"As you all know, the Right to Stay is coming. Two teams journey's will end before they begin. I hope you all made a good first impression, because before the Right to Stay, your team will need to vote on one team to receive an advantage, and one team to receive a disadvantage. The team with the most votes for both categories will be revealed before the challenge. Good luck!"

Everyone looks nervous, and starts looking around the room.

Jacob: This is crazy. We barely even know everyone here yet... heck, half these people have been spending the entire afternoon chatting with their partner instead of mingling with the other teams. And now somehow we have to decide who we like, and who we don't like already? This game just got interesting.

Paulie: Well I think the vote for least favourite is pretty clear...

Jasmine: Uh, and why's that?

Holly: Well obviously everybody's voting you and Wyatt!

Paulie: Yeah, telling Quincy to ignore us... How rude!

Wyatt: Are... are you joking?

Paulie: Does it look like we're joking?

Holly: Yeah, you were mean... If anybody is going to reward you for that sort of behaviour-

Paulie: Then they're just as cold blooded as you.

Wyatt: What are you even talking about!

Quincy: Yeah, you are the ones that were giving snarky remarks towards me!

Holly: And look at that, Quincy coming to his defence-

Paulie: Can anybody say ALLIANCE?

Quincy: I usually give people the benefit of the doubt... and trust me, I'm trying. But those two... they're just mean people! I don't understand what they're trying to do. Like... clearly I can't be the only one who see's they're not good, right?

Camera pans to Quincy/Kendall and Wyatt/Jasmine all talking on the beach.

Jasmine: Well clearly we know who is getting our votes for the disadvantage.

Kendall: Yeah! That's just crazy that they could act that way. Like do they not realize they're making themselves a target?

Kendall: Look, I've experienced bullying before. Tons of times actually. I'm not your typical pretty girl... and kids just love to tease me about that. I never in a million years expected to come out here and have bullies on the island. They're going to get what they deserve, bullying is never ok.

Wyatt: In terms of the advantage though, which one of us should we vote for?

Quincy: I mean, I feel confident with both of our teams getting through the Right to Stay honestly, so I'm not overly worried.

Jasmine: Well, I was thinking... instead of using it to give one of us an advantage, why don't we use it to get another team on our side?

Kendall: Oh, like offer to give another team the advantage and then they'll like us?

Jasmine: Exactly!

Jasmine: I'm not trying to sound overconfident... but I feel like my team, and Kendall's team are both pretty strong, and don't really need an advantage in the game to get through it. So why not use it as leverage? Make another team like us by giving them the advantage?

Nolan and Willow walk by.

Quincy: Hey you guys, come over here quick!

Nolan: What's going on?

Wyatt: How confident are you guys in the Right to Stay?

Nolan: Well, not going to lie... I don't think I'm one of the strongest guys out here.

Willow: And being one of the younger girls... I can see it being a bit of a disadvantage for me.

Nolan: I don't know too much about my cousin honestly, but just looking at how we as a whole stack up against the rest of the teams, I'm a little bit worried. Being young in this game usually comes with its downsides, and honestly, I'm not one of the strongest guys out here, so I don't know how much slack I can pick up.

Jasmine: If you guys vote yourself for the advantage... and both our teams vote for you, that's 3 votes right there.

Kendall: You would just need to come up with a few more votes... or I guess hope that everyone else just votes rogue?

Willow: Wow, you guys would really do that for us? Why?

Wyatt: You both seem like nice people...

Quincy: Yeah, and maybe this could be the start of some sort of... you know... alliance?

Nolan: No way! I'd be so down.

Nolan: Wow, it's only day 1 and already, I feel like we got ourselves in a pretty good spot... Willow managed to gather two teams with the other 12 year olds on it. And here we are just going for a walk, and two other teams COME TO US! That's crazy!

Willow: Well who do you guys want us voting for the disadvantage?

Jasmine: Is that really any question?

Willow: I'm guessing the twins Giggles

Kendall: Bingo!

Kendall: Everything's just kind of worked out nicely for us. Wyatt stood up for Quincy against the twins, so there was an instant connection there. Now we have Nolan and Willow on our side because we offered them the advantage. I'd say for our first day out here, we're doing a pretty good job.

Aiden and Kayla are walking down the beach.

Aiden: So... I was kind of thinking we could give the advantage to one of my friends?

Kayla: Oh great, a bunch of little squirts running around together.

Aiden: Hey! Well I mean if you have any other ideas, or different people you'd like the work with.

Kayla: Hm... good point, I've got nothing. Squirt alliance it is then!

Kayla: Just what I need, a bunch of 12 year olds running my teams alliance. Nothing against them, but I'm just imaging a bunch of immature little brats running around... "I WANT HIM OUT! I WANT HER HERE! ARRRR". Ok, maybe that sounded more like pirates than 12 year olds, but you get my point.

Aiden walks over to Willow and Skye who are playing by the treehouse.

Aiden: Hey guys!

Skye: Hey Aiden! How's it going?

Aiden: Good, good. Was just thinking we should figure out who the advantage and disadvantage should go to.

Skye: Well disadvantage I think should go to the mean twins!

Willow: Yeah, I think that's pretty safe. And I was kind of hoping that the advantage could go to my team... I'm a little bit worried about the challenge.

Aiden: Aw, don't be worried, you guys are going to do great!

Skye: Yeah! But if you do really want it, I have no problem voting you for the advantage. I'm sure Jacob will have no problem with that.

Aiden: Yeah, and Kayla will pretty much go along with whatever I say. I'm down for it!

Willow: Aw, you guys are the best! Thank you so much

The three hug.

Willow: I've got my two teams voting me for the advantage, and Quincy/Kendall and Wyatt/Jasmine chose to give us the advantage. So right now we're looking pretty good, and I couldn't be happier!

Skye walks over to Jacob.

Skye: Hey! You fine if we vote Willow and Nolan for the advantage?

Jacob: Whatever you think is best for us! I trust you!

Skye: Aw, you're the best!

Jacob: I've kind of been laying low so far. Obviously I've been talking to people, but not building any alliances or anything like that... because I want to see who's actually still here after the mission. Skye is building a bond with the youngsters which is great, but what happens if both those teams go in the Right to Stay? Back to square one.

Paulie and Holly by the water.

Holly: Obviously we are voting ourselves for the advantage!

Paulie: Well obviously... and I feel like majority of the other teams will do that too.

Holly: Should we go campaigning for votes?

Paulie: I don't see why we should. Everyone is bound to vote for us after we exposed Quincy and Wyatt's alliance. We helped everyone's game.

Holly: Except for Quincy and Wyatt's...

Paulie: Yeah, but they were going to vote for us anyways.

Holly: I think so far everyone loves us except for Quincy and Wyatt. What's not to love? Twins are always a fascinating topic, and people always just gravitate towards us. I think we're a shoe-in for the advantage at the Right to Stay!

Camera pans out, and pans back into the Mission Beach, where PG is standing as the teams line up in front of him.

PG: Welcome back the the mission beach everybody! I hope you guys like your new living space, because for four of you... you'll be living there for the next 3 weeks!

Everyone cheers and claps.

PG: But as I told you, two teams are not even going to get so much as a chance to sleep in those wonderful treehouses. If you don't prove yourselves in today's Right to Stay mission, you're on the next plane home.

Dominic: My anxiety is through the roof right now... I really do not want to be one of the first two teams going home. And if for some reason I'm the one that lets my team down.... oh gosh, I could never look at Isabella the same again.

PG: Alright, before we get to the Right to Stay mission... I sent you a message in a bottle. I asked all teams to choose one team to give an advantage to, and one team to give a disadvantage to. It's time to find out how good of a first impression you made out here. First I'll announce the team receiving an advantage in the Right to Stay...

Julia: I don't really know how these votes are going to fall... I don't think Myles and I really did anything wrong to make people not like us in order to get a disadvantage, but I can't say we really got to know enough people to get an advantage either.

PG: Receiving the majority of votes and receiving an advantage in the Right to Stay is... NOLAN AND WILLOW!

Holly: What?

Paulie: Are you kidding me?

Nolan and Willow let out a celebration scream as they hug.

Nolan: Thank you to everyone who voted for us!

Willow: Yes, we really do appreciate it!

PG: We'll get to your advantage in a second... but first I'll reveal who go the most votes for the disadvantage...

Paulie: And step forward... WYATT AND JASMINE!

PG: Actually... it was you and Holly.

Paulie: WHAT?!?!?!

Holly: You... have got... to be joking!

Holly: There is no way we got the most unlikeable votes. NO WAY! I refuse to believe that. After letting everybody know there's an alliance with Wyatt and Quincy? WE DID YOU ALL A FAVOUR AND YOU REPAY US LIKE THIS?

Paulie and Holly look mad, as everyone else exchanges smiles.

Paulie: Anyone who voted for us... you better watch your backs-

Holly: Because we're coming for you!

Haha, I feel like Paulie in my story just adapted that based on the influence of having the same name 
Who knew one of the youngest contestants would come out as one of the most strategic right off the bat?

[Pgcool™]

Episode 2: The Right to Stay

Camera pans to the beach, where all 10 teams are standing in front of PG.

Paulie: Anyone who voted for us... you better watch your backs-

Holly: Because we're coming for you!

Wyatt: Oh, we are so scared!

Paulie: You should be, because you're first on our hit list!

Jasmine: Let's just see if you make it past the Right to Stay with you big disadvantage, shall we?

Jasmine: I'm not a mean person, and I usually don't trash talk. But those two just strike something inside of me. I've never met people like them before.

PG: Alright, now that that's all out of the way... let's get to your Right to Stay mission! Over the water there are two platforms. The guys will be on one platform, and the girls on the other platform. Each team will also have two rope swings close to each platform. The guys are going to grab a ring, and you will both get on your respective rope swings in an attempt to transfer the ring to the girls platform. You will have to time your swinging just right so you both meet in the middle, and successfully transfer that ring. Once you transfer all 10 of your rings, you will need to grab one of the 8 coloured flags of your choice, and transfer that to the other side. Once you transfer that, you've cemented your place on that colour team this season, and you will not be going home! The two teams without a colour are eliminated.

A few faces look around nervously, while others are looking excited.

PG: Nolan and Willow, because the majority decided to give you guys the advantage, you will only need to transfer 8 rings. This should make it a lot faster for you guys to complete the mission.

Willow: Thank you everyone!

Paulie: Yeah, yeah. Enough about them, what about us PG?

PG: Paulie and Holly, because the majority decided to give you guys the disadvantage, you will have to transfer the 2 rings that Nolan and Willow don't... meaning you need to transfer 12 rings across in order to succeed.

Holly: Is that all? Piece of cake!

Holly: I don't really care about the disadvantage. We're just going to focus on the task at hand, and do what we do best... win!

Camera pans to all the teams on their respective platforms.

Dominic: Oh... my gosh. This is not cool!

Dominic: I thought the ladder up to the treehouse was bad... this is a million times worst. And I have to somehow get over my fear of heights, and swing off of the platform that's keeping me safe? Seriously?

Isabella: Just don't look down Dom. We got this!

Paulie: Or, you know... look down and see what you'll be crashing down into!

Dominic Gasps.

Isabella: Ignore him Dom... he's just trying to psych you out, you're not going to fall.

Paulie: Of course I'm going to try and psych out the competition. If you're going to vote us to receive a disadvantage, why should I be nice to you?

PG: Alright, everyone is in place. If I could give you one piece of advice, it would be to hold on tight to that rope swing. Because if you fall off, it's a long climb back up to your platform, and that's valuable time. Everybody ready?

Dominic: Uh... not really!

PG: On your marks... get set... GO!

All the guys immediately grab their first rings.

Devyn: Ok Veronica, on the count of 3, swing!

Veronica: Alright!

Devyn: One, two... THREE!

Both Devyn and Veronica swing onto their rope swings, and successfully transfer the first ring.

Devyn: YEAH! We did it!

Veronica: Woohoo!!

Veronica: I'm here to show people that I'm a tough competitor. I may look like a girly girl, but I'm very competitive and I compete in lots of sports in school.

PG: Devyn and Veronica have successfully transferred a ring on their first try!

Camera shows Aiden and Kayla attempting to transfer a ring, but missing the transfer.

Kayla: Ugh! Come on Aiden, you need to reach farther!

Aiden: I'm trying!

Aiden: I knew my age and height were going to be a problem for me out here. It's only the first mission, and already I'm struggling because my arms are too short! I don't know what to do!

Paulie/Holly, Quincy/Kendall, and Wyatt/Jasmine all transfer their first ring.

Holly: Yeah! That's how we do it!

Wyatt: Good job Jasmine!

PG: Quite a few teams are managing to make their first ring transfers on the first try!

Camera shows Dominic at the edge of his platform frozen in fear.

Dominic: Isa... I... I don't know if I can do this.

Isabella: You got this Dom! You'll be off the platform for max 5 seconds, and if you fall it's only water!

Dominic: I... I know but... it's just so high!

Isabella: Just look at me while we swing... ok? 1, 2, 3!

Isabella jumps on her swing, and Dominic hesitates, and jumps a second later. They miss the transfer.

Dominic: I'm sorry!

Isabella: Don't be sorry, I'm so proud of you! This time we just have to do it at the same time! 1, 2, 3!

Dominic and Isabella both jump, and complete the transfer.

Isabella: You did it!

Dominic: No way! WE DID IT!

Isabella: Part of coming out here is just to help Dominic conquer some of his fears. I'm never disappointed in him. And I'm just so proud of him today for conquering heights.

PG: Every team seems to be doing well so far! Everyone has made at least one transfer except for Aiden/Kayla! Paulie/Holly have just completed their second transfer!

Kayla: Aiden! You have to reach further!

Aiden: I'm trying Kayla! Do you see my arms? They're tiny!

Kayla: One, two, THREE!

Aiden and Kayla both jump on their ropes, and once again miss the transfer.

Kayla: You have got to be kidding me!

PG: Aiden and Kayla are really struggling right now!

Five minutes in the game passes.

PG: We are now at the five minute mark in the game! Paulie/Holly, Devyn/Veronica and Wyatt/Jasmine both have 7 rings transferred. Nolan/Willow, Myles/Julia, and Quincy/Kendall have 6 rings. Jacob/Skye, and Micah/Tori both have 5 rings, Dominic/Isabella have 4 rings, and Aiden/Kayla still have yet to successfully transfer a ring.

Aiden and Kayla swing, and this time just barely manage to transfer their ring.

Aiden: WE DID IT!

Kayla: Nice job! We still have a lot of catching up to do though.

PG: Aiden and Kayla are on the board with their first ring!

Micah and Tori prepare to swing with their 6th ring.

Micah: Tori, we have to move faster! We need to catch up!

Tori: Let's do it! 3, 2, 1!

Micah and Tori transfer their 6th ring. Camera pans to Myles and Julia.

Julia: You ready Myles?

Myles: Yes! 3, 2, 1!

Myles and Julia both jump onto their ropes with the 7th ring. Myles slips off the rope and immediately falls into the water with the ring.

PG: Oh! Myles is the first one to take a spill! He's going to have to climb all the way back up his platform, costing valuable time!

Julia: Myles! Are you okay?

Myles: I'm fine!

Myles: I did not want to look weak today... but being the only person to fall off, I'm kind of mad at myself. I just slipped... I don't know.

Another 2 minutes passes.

PG: We have some teams very close right now! Devyn/Veronica, Wyatt/Jasmine and Paulie/Holly are all transferring their 10th rings now! But keep in mind, Paulie/Holly have 2 extra rings than anyone else.

All three teams successfully transfer their 10th rings.

Wyatt: Jasmine! What colour do you want?

Jasmine: Green!

Devyn: How about you Veronica?

Veronica: Whatever you want!

Wyatt grabs the Green flag, and Devyn grabs the Blue flag.

PG: They just have to complete these transfers and they have locked in their teams! And here comes Nolan and Willow with their 8th and final ring!

Nolan and Willow transfer their 8th ring.

Willow: Can we be purple?

Nolan: Sure!

Aiden and Kayla are struggling to transfer their 3rd ring, and Myles is just finished climbing up the ladder.

Kayla: Come on Aiden, we got this!

Aiden and Kayla both jump and barely transfer their 3rd ring.

PG: Aiden and Kayla have their third ring! Myles and Julia are attempting their 6th ring again! We have 3 teams completed. Wyatt and Jasmine are the Green Team! Devyn and Veronica are the Blue Team! And Nolan and Willow are the Purple Team!

Paulie: And now it's our turn!

Paulie and Holly transfer the Orange flag.

PG: And just like that, overcoming their disadvantage... Paulie and Holly secure their place on the Orange team! Only 4 spots left!

Dominic and Isabella transfer their 8th ring.

Isabella: See! Now we got the hang of it!

Dominic: Yeah! Look at us go!

Quincy and Kendall transfer their 10th ring.

PG: And Quincy and Kendall have complete their final transfer! Which colour will they pick?

Quincy: Yellow or Red?

Kendall: Let's do Yellow!

Quincy grabs the Yellow flag.

PG: And with that, we have 3 spots left and 5 teams fighting for it.

Jacob grabs the Red flag.

PG: Make that 2 spots left. Dominic/Isabella, Aiden/Kayla, Myles/Julia, and Micah/Tori!

Micah and Tori transfer their 9th ring.

Tori: Yes! Almost there, 1 ring left!

Aiden and Kayla transfer their 5th ring. Myles and Julia transfer their 8th. Dominic and Isabella transfer their 9th.

Isabella: Let's do this Dominic! We're almost there!

PG: It's a tight race right now!

Micah and Tori transfer their final ring and Micah grabs the Grey flag.

Tori: Grab Brown! The Grey curse remember!!!

Micah: Oh right!

Micah puts the Grey flag back, and grabs the Brown flag.

PG: We now only have 1 spot left! Myles and Julia are going to have to work double time or hope Dominic and Isabella fall!

Dominic: Fa- fall?

Isabella: No! Dominic you're not going to fall! You got this!

Dominic stands frozen in fear with the final ring, as Myles and Julia transfer their 9th ring.

Isabella: Just believe in yourself Dominic. We're almost there!

Dominic: 3... 2... 1!

Dominic and Isabella make the final ring transfer, just as Myles grabs their final ring.

Isabella: Yes! Grab the flag!

PG: And it's looking like this could be the end here!

Aiden and Kayla finish transferring their 6th flag, as Dominic grab the Grey flag.

PG: All they have to do it swing this across and they will cement their play on the Grey team.

Dominic: Let's do this!

Dominic and Isabella both swing, and transfer their Grey flag, both cheering.

Dominic: I can't believe we did that!

Isabella: I am so proud of you Dom!

PG: And with that the mission is over! We'll get you all down here!

Camera pans to all 10 teams on the beach with PG standing in front of them.

PG: That was clearly a tough first mission for you guys. I'm proud of all of you though, you all gave it a great effort!

Everyone claps.

PG: Unfortunately there was only room for 8 teams to move on... Aiden and Kayla, and Myles and Julia... I'm sorry, but this is the end of the journey for you guys.

Sad faces among everyone, as Aiden runs to hug Willow and Skye.

Willow: We'll miss you!

Aiden: Guess we should've given my team the advantage! Love you guys.

Aiden: I... I feel like I let you down big time.
Kayla: Oh don't be silly! You might be a little twerp, but you're my little twerp.
Aiden: That's the nicest thing you've said out here.
Kayla: I might be hard on you sometimes, but that's because I love you.
Aiden: Aw, I love you too! This was a great experience.
Kayla: Agreed! It might have been short, but I'm glad we got to do this together.
Aiden: Me too. And plus I got to make two new friends! Love you Willow and Skye!
Aiden and Kayla hug.

Myles: We were so close! So incredibly close. If only I didn't fall.
Julia: Oh don't you dare go blaming yourself! You did amazing! Those ropes were slippery... nothing you can do!
Myles: You know, I was really looking forward to spending the next few weeks competing with you.
Julia: Me too. But now I guess it's back home for us... where you can compete against me in Mario Kart!
Myles: You mean kick your butt in Mario Kart!
Both laugh.

Camera pans to Aiden, Kayla, Myles and Julia all walking off in the sunset. Zooms back in on PG standing in front of the final 8 teams.

PG: And just like that, I am looking at the official 8 teams of Endurance: Bloodlines!

The Red Team: Jacob and Skye
The Yellow Team: Quincy and Kendall
The Purple Team: Nolan and Willow
The Orange Team: Paulie and Holly
The Blue Team: Devyn and Veronica
The Green Team: Wyatt & Jasmine
The Grey Team: Dominic & Isabella
The Brown Team: Micah & Tori

PG: For now, head back to your treehouses and enjoy the rest of the evening. First thing tomorrow morning I will see you in your team colours for the handing out of the pyramid pieces! Have a good night!

Everyone runs off down the beach excited. Camera pans to the treehouse with everyone inside.

Paulie: Thanks a lot everybody for voting for us...

Wyatt: Oh, quit playing victim. You did it to yourselves.

Holly: And what exactly did we do?

Nolan: You both know exactly what you did!

Paulie: Oh look, now Nolan's coming to their defence!

Holly: Everyone else, you're really going to let these 3 just run the game as an alliance?

Paulie: You already let them choose how the votes were going to go...

Holly: At this point we don't really have anything to lose. Everyone has vilified us already. The only thing we can really do is call out the others for forming an alliance, and hope it opens some people's eyes.

Camera pans to Holly and Tori on the beach talking.

Holly: Look, I know we haven't come off as the nicest people ever so far.

Tori: Well that's putting it lightly.

Holly: We're not trying to be mean, we really aren't. We just don't want a power alliance running this game from Day 1!

Tori: I mean, that's fair. But where did this idea that they're a power alliance come from?

Holly: Oh come on, it's so obvious! The way they were defending each other! And plus, they managed to get all the votes on Nolan and Willow for the advantage?

Tori: I guess that sort of makes sense.

Holly: I'm not asking you to trust us, or even like us. But please, just don't let them run this game!

Tori: Oh I trust you! I would like to work with you guys.

Tori: That was a bunch of bologna. I definitely don't trust Orange at all, and have no interest working with them. But they've proven that they could be a strong team! They got the disadvantage in the mission, and still came in third. So I'm not going to be stupid and tell a strong team "Hey, we want you out!", especially seeing as my team didn't do so hot today.

Tori walks over to Micah.

Tori: You are not going to like me.

Micah: Oh no, what did you do?

Tori: I may, or may not have told Holly that I want to be in an alliance with her.

Micah: You have got to be kidding me!

Tori: Well I wasn't going to tell her no! Besides this could be a good thing for us. If they win, they aren't coming after us.

Micah: I mean, I guess so. But I don't want people thinking we're bad guys...

Tori: Oh come on, nobody is going to think that.

Micah: This is going to be a difficult partnership. We might be related by blood, but we don't know each other all that well, and that's going to make things difficult, as we saw in today's challenge. We came second to last which is not good. We look weak. And not to mention I don't necessarily agree with her strategy to align with Orange.

Dominic and Isabella are sitting on the beach.

Dominic: I owe you big time for today Isa. I was so terrified.

Isabella: You owe me nothing! You know I've got your back. I am so proud of you brother.

Dominic: More and more people now and days deal with anxiety. And it's not like it's always there, it comes and goes for me. Most of the time I'm fine... but I have triggers that just put me into panic attacks. Mostly situational stuff... like heights is a big one. But it's good to know Isabella's always there to help me through them.

Isabella: We just have to figure out a way to beat this Grey team curse.

Dominic: Well I'd say with the Paulie and Holly here, it's pretty safe to say we aren't the first ones gone.

Isabella: Laughs That's very true. But still, we need to socialize.

Isabella: The first day was kind of spent helping Dominic get through some anxiety issues about being away from home, and that sort of stuff. So we really haven't had a chance to talk to any of the other teams yet, which scares me. And on top of that we are the cursed grey team. We have a lot to overcome already.

Isabella walks over to Skye and Willow.

Isabella: How are you guys holding up?

Skye: Well, it's sad that our friends gone... but this is the game we signed up for!

Willow: Yeah, besides... we'll see him again someday outside of here!

Isabella: That's a good way to look at it. You know, I really like you girls. You both seem really nice.

Willow: Thanks! You seem really nice too.

Skye: You should come hang out with us more!

Skye: Willow and I were just chatting about Aiden, and how we already miss him. He was just fun to be around... goofy like us. Isabella seems nice, but she's definitely not Aiden! Laughs But she's cool... I wouldn't mind getting to know her some more.

Willow walks over to talk with Nolan.

Willow: So I have a question...

Nolan: Shoot!

Willow: Is it bad that we pretty much have an alliance with every team out here

Nolan: What? What do you mean?

Willow: Well... I'm close with Skye, Isabella came up to Skye and me and I'm sure wants to work with us. Yellow and Green helped us win the advantage today... that's half the teams out here on our side!

Nolan: Wow! Well, I don't see it being a bad thing... unless we somehow get caught in the middle of two alliances that are going after each other.

Willow: Well if that happens, lets just play dumb.

Nolan: My cousin just keeps surprising me more and more every hour. Who would have thought she'd be the one carrying my team in the strategy department right off the back. I've been chatting with people casually, but she seems like she's out there making alliances left and right! I'm not complaining, if she wants to put on her cute little 12 year old charm, I'm all for it!

The sun is shown setting over the treehouses. Pan to sunrise, as the 8 teams are seen assembling in front of PG at the team poles.

PG: Good to see everybody in their team colours this morning. Now that we've got our official teams, it's time to get down to business. If you've seen the show before, you'll know that in order to win the game, all you have to do is collect all 14 pyramid pieces!

Everyone nods and cheers.

PG: Now usually you'll have to earn these pyramid pieces in the Endurance Mission's... but as a gesture of good will, I'm going to give each of you one piece to start off with. We will go in the order that you completed the mission yesterday. When I call your team, come up, select a piece, and place it on your teams pyramid pole. First up... Green Team!

Wyatt and Jasmine walk up to the pyramid pieces.

Jasmine: You let me pick the team colour. Only fair that you get to pick the pyramid piece!

Wyatt: That lion looks pretty dope. Let's go with Courage!

Green Team is shown hanging the Courage piece on their pyramid pole.

Wyatt: We showed a lot of Courage in today's mission... it was not an easy one.
Jasmine: No kidding. I'm pretty happy we managed to be the first team to finish though. Shows that we're here to compete.
Wyatt: I'm just hoping people don't see us as a big target because of that.

PG: Next up, The Blue Team!

Devyn and Veronica stand over the pyramid pieces contemplating.

Veronica: I'm kind of thinking Strength?

Devyn: Choice is yours!

Blue Team hangs up the Strength piece on their pole.

Veronica: Not to sound cocky, but I do think we could be one of the strongest teams out here.
Devyn: I don't think it's cocky. We did really well in the first mission, just lost out by a second. And I think out of all the teams we get along the best.
Veronica: One piece down... thirteen more to go!

PG: Purple Team, it's now your turn to pick a piece!

Nolan and Willow step up to the pieces.

Willow: Well, I think we're going to be needing a lot of Trust.

Nolan: Yeah, not only between ourselves, but with others as well!

Nolan: I think out of all of the remaining teams, we know each other the least.
Willow: There's only so much one family dinner a year can do. We are definitely going to need to build that trust with each other.
Nolan: Not to mention some trust with all these teams you've aligned with!
Both Laugh

PG: Orange Team, step on up and choose a piece!

Paulie and Holly walk straight up to the Karma piece and place it on their pole.

Wyatt: Mumbles Ironic.

Holly: We plan to channel the energy from this Karma piece, and send some karma back to all the haters.
Paulie: What goes around comes around.
Holly: Prepare to get a dose of karma Purple, Yellow and Green

PG: And next up, Yellow Team!

Quincy and Kendall take the Friendship piece and hang it on their pole.

Kendall: We've already built some great friendships out here.
Quincy: Right now I think we're just mostly hoping these friendships can help us get to the end
Kendall: Well we kind of lucked out. Seems like we're friends with the strongest team out here! Laughs

PG: Red Team, you're up!

Jacob and Skye grab the Teamwork piece and hang it on their pole.

Jacob: We might not have done so great in the mission today, but I really do think our teamwork is great.
Skye: Yeah, we're really close siblings so the teamwork part should be easy for us!

PG: Two teams left, Brown Team... your turn!

Micah and Tori step up, take the Heart piece and hang it up.

Micah: I think once we learn each others strengths and weaknesses, we will be unstoppable.
Tori: Right now it's almost like two strangers coming together and forming a team.

PG: Alright, and last but not lease... The Grey Team!

Isabella: Easy choice!

Isabella and Dominic grab the Luck piece and place it on their pole.

Isabella: It's definitely going to take some luck to beat off this Grey curse.
Dominic: There are so many different things against us in this game.
Isabella: Which is why we're going to prove why we deserve to win!

PG: And with that, you are on your way to the end goal. This is the first of fourteen pieces you need to win the game! There's a long road still ahead of you. Head back to the treehouses, enjoy the rest of your day... and I will see you tomorrow for you first Endurance Mission!

The eight teams run off towards the treehouses in excitement.

Why is your Purple blue? Are you colorblind? Lol

So Blue = Favourites, and Purple second favourite?
And lol about Paulie and Holly on Orange. They just seem like names that go with the colours... I dunno haha.

And what are you talking about? It's perfectly purple coloured font, you're crazy or ya know maybe I edited it after you told me and I'm the colourblind one.

Episode 3: The Island's End

Camera pans to everyone sitting around in the treehouse, as Micah walks in with a bottle.

Micah: Hey everybody, we've got a message in a bottle!

Everyone gasps, as some excited faces and some nervous faces among the group.

Micah: "It's time to prepare yourself for today's Endurance Mission, but this season, winning is more important than ever. Not only will you get to hand out the samadhi, and receive a pyramid piece. The winning team will also take a trip to The Island's End, where a huge advantage awaits. But keep in mind, nothing comes without a cost in this game!"

Ooo's and Awww's from the group as everyone looks curious.

Kendall: What does that even mean?

Holly: Well obviously it means the winners are going to get some sort of advantage.

Kendall: I get that part! I just meant how exactly is it- You know what, never mind.

Kendall stands up and storms out of the treehouse.

Kendall: I've just got to bite my tongue. It's going to do no good arguing with them over something so stupid. People might start looking at me as if I'm causing drama... I mean, I guess it's pretty obvious that they're the ones... but you never know.

Devyn: I guess that's everyone's cue to split!

Wyatt: Orange team... ruining everyone's bonding time as usual.

Paulie: You're one to talk!

Paulie: Alway's the victim. We do nothing wrong, and yet we get blamed for stirring the pot. There's just no winning with these guys!

Camera shows everyone slowly getting up and scattering from the tree houses. Then pans to every single team except for Orange down on the beach.

Wyatt: Ok, I realize that once they are gone this is going to be a whole different game. But can we all just agree that we all do everything in our power to get them out of here?

Jacob: Yeah, I think that pretty much goes without saying. They've put themselves in the position of being the villains.

Isabella: Count us in. They're hard to live with.

Isabella: I don't think there's ever been this big of a group against a single team in Endurance. Like literally, all 7 of the other teams are here saying we want to get them out. That shows you how obnoxious they really are. 

Camera pans to the Brown team by themselves talking.

Tori: It's kind of weird to say... but if Orange team goes home first, we are not in a good spot.

Micah: Well we've got to form some sort of bond elsewhere then... because if every single team is rooting against our only "allies", we're kind of screwed.

Tori: Please, I'd hardly consider what we have with them an alliance.

Micah: It's tough. Everyone kind of cemented their bonds on day 1 while Tori and I were just focused on catching up with one another. Strangely enough, Orange is the only team we've really made a connection with. So if everyone's targeting them, that puts us in a really bad spot. We need to try and work our way in somewhere, but that's going to be tough because everyone seems so tight already.

Micah and Devyn are walking down the beach together.

Micah: So, where are you from?

Devyn: Originally from Florida, but I've been living in California for about 5 years now.

Micah: No way! I'm from California as well!

Devyn: Really? That's awesome man!

Micah: Not to come off too strong or anything, but maybe we could have some sort of California bond going on here?

Devyn: Not coming off strong at all dude. I would love that! We haven't really made too many bonds honestly.

Micah: Funny, Tori and I were just saying the same thing about ourselves.

Devyn: I'm down man, you don't say my name, I wont say yours!

Devyn: The California thing doesn't really mean much to me. But he just seems like a nice enough guy, and honestly... we could use any allies right now that we can get. Everybody's been off in their little groups, and Veronica and I have just sort of been left out of everything... so it's nice to finally have a connection with a different team.

Camera pans out, and slowly zooms into PG standing on the beach as the 8 teams gather in front of him.

PG: Welcome back to the mission beach! The game has really only just begun, but we are well on our way. We've already said goodbye to two teams, got you all cozy in your team colours, and everyone's on their way with their first pyramid piece. But now the real fun begins... It's time for your first Endurance Mission!

Everyone cheers and looks excited.

PG: As you all know from your message in a bottle this morning, the stakes are higher than ever this season in the Endurance Missions. The winner of today's challenge will earn their second pyramid piece, and also hand out the all important samadhi, which will give one team a major disadvantage in the first Temple mission. But new to this season is The Island's End. The winning team can choose to either send themselves to The Island's End, or any other team to the Island's End. But keep in mind, the team that goes there will be tempted by an advantage in the game, so choose wisely.

Everyone looks interested by the new twist.

PG: And with that, let's get to your first Endurance Mission! Today's mission is called Ball Brawl, and here's how it works. All of you will be out past that line on the other side of the beach. I will launch a ball, and the person who catches that ball will get to eliminate any team they want from the mission. We will continue this until only one team is left, and that team will be the winners of today's mission.

Holly: Really?

Wyatt: Looks like it pays to be mean to people out here, huh? How's that Karma piece of yours looking now.

Paulie: Oh shut up Wyatt.

PG: Alright, everybody get into position and we will begin the mission!

Camera pans to all 16 contestants spread out among the beach.

PG: Here we go... I'm launching the first ball in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

PG launches that ball as everyone begins to run around to where they think it will land.

Jasmine: Wyatt, you got this! It's coming your way!

Holly: Oh no you don't...

The ball is shown heading straight for Wyatt, but Holly jumps in the way and catches the first ball.

Paulie: Clapping Yeah Holly! That's how we do it!

Holly: The karma piece is looking quite nice, thanks for asking Wyatt. We are eliminating the Green Team!

Jasmine: No surprise there.

PG: Alright Green Team, you guys have been eliminated... not shot at winning. Take a spot on the bench.

Wyatt: I was so close the catching that ball and getting sweet, sweet revenge on them.
Jasmine: Oh well, you win some you lose some I guess. It's okay, there's no way they're going to win.
Wyatt: Yeah, literally every team is against them.

PG: Alright, we are down to 7 teams left! I am launching the second ball in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

PG launches the second ball and it heads straight to Micah who catches it.

Micah: Yahoo! Wait... now I have to eliminate somebody?

Holly: Tori, you better not say us. We have a deal, remember?

Tori: This is so awkward. Everybody is looking at us waiting for us to say Orange's name. But they're a strong team, and I don't want to piss them off.

Micah and Tori are whispering to each other.

Micah: I have no idea what we should do.

Tori: If we say Orange, Holly is going to come after us so hard in this game.

Micah: But if we don't say Orange, everybody is going to think we are with them.

Tori: Well at this point, everybody has each other's backs BEFORE us... everybody except for Orange and Blue that is. We have to look out for ourselves.

Micah: It's the first mission and we already have a difficult choice. We are either going to break the ties with one of the only teams that has our back, or make everybody else angry with us.

PG: Micah, I need a decision.

Micah: I'm sorry, but we've just talked to you guys the least our of everybody. We are going to take out The Red Team!

Everybody looks shocked by the decision.

Jacob: Seriously? Orange Team is still here...

Micah: I've got to look out for my team man.

Jacob: But you just put a huge target on your back for no reason!

Paulie: Thanks Micah. You made the right choice... I promise you that.

PG: Red Team, you have been eliminated. Take a spot on the bench next to Green.

Skye: Wow, I was not expecting that.
Jacob: We literally just had a conversation on the beach that EVERYONE was going after Orange... and then they pull this?
Skye I guess they just exposed where their loyalties lie...

PG: And we are down to 6 teams. The third ball is being launched in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

PG launches the ball and it lands on the ground. Everybody makes a run for it.

PG: It's a huge sprint to the ball! Who's going to get it.

Veronica reaches the ball first and picks it up.

Paulie: Veronica listen to me. Us, you and Brown team... final 3 alliance... right here, right now.

Veronica rushes over to Devyn, Micah walks over. They all whisper.

Micah: You guy's have to keep Orange in. It's the only way the only alliance option for us right now.

Devyn: Dude, everyone is after them... it's going to make us a huge target.

Micah: It's the only option, we just showed our cards... everybody is already after us.

Veronica: But you guys chose to do that... we never made any sort of deal with Orange.

Micah: But you guys made a deal with me! And this is going to screw me over.

PG: Veronica, I need an answer.

Micah: Please Veronica, this is our best option.

Veronica looks over at Devyn nervously.

Veronica: PG, I am going to eliminate The Orange Team!

Micah: d**nit!

Holly: Bad choice Veronica. We would've had your back!

PG: Orange team, you have been eliminated. Take a spot on the bench.

Holly: That was the worst move they could have possibly made. They not only just screwed over their only allies, Brown-
Paulie: They also made an enemy in us, and we are a strong team to have against you.
Holly: The three of us could have been a power alliance, but now you're just one of the many teams we are taking out!

PG: And with that we are down to 5 teams! Launching the fourth ball in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

PG launches the ball, and it lands straight into Quincy's arms.

Quincy: Awesome! PG, I don't need any time to think about this.

PG: Alright then, who are you eliminating?

Quincy: Everyone talked before the mission and came to an agreement... one team broke that agreement and showed where they lie. Brown Team, I'm sorry... but I'm taking you out.

Tori: It's fine... we understand.

Micah: No hard feelings.

PG: Brown team, take a spot on the bench!

Micah: This is exactly what I didn't want to happen... In exchange for keeping one team happy, we've made six teams mad at us.
Tori: You win some, you lose some I guess. It's going to be really hard to get out of this mess though...
Micah: I'm kind of disappointed in Devyn... supposed to be looking out for us, but he majorly screwed us over.

PG: And we are down to 4 teams! Grey, Yellow, Blue and Purple! Launching the fifth ball in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

The ball launches. Dominic and Willow both make a run for it. It lands in Dominic's hand, but slips out. Willow scoops it up.

Dominic: Good job!

Willow: Thank you!

Willow runs over to Nolan and they whisper.

Willow: Obviously we're not picking Yellow. And Isabella isn't going to say our name's either.

Nolan: Agreed with all of that. I feel bad, but Blue is the best choice.

Willow: I'm really sorry, but I'm going to be eliminating the Blue Team!

Devyn: Aw... it's ok though. We understand.

PG: Blue team, you've been eliminated. Take a spot on the bench.

Veronica: Who know's if we made the right move in taking out Orange in the mission.
Devyn: I think it was the right move though. Now we're in about the middle of the pack... if we had kept them in, we would have been on the bottom for sure.
Veronica: That's true, we just have to work our way up somehow. I just hope Brown forgives us. They're our only allies.

PG: And we are left with 3 times. I'm launching the ball in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

PG launches the ball. Willow and Nolan stay clear of the ball, and Quincy grabs it.

Willow: I whispered to Nolan right before the ball launches to make sure neither of us get it. If we had to pick between Yellow and Grey we'd be choosing between two different alliances. Rather just stay clear of that.

Quincy: Really nothing against you guys. Purple kept us safe when they had the chance, so we are eliminating the Grey Team!

Holly: You're not fooling anyone. You have an alliance with Purple and Green and you're keeping them safe. It's obvious!

PG: Grey Team, you've been eliminated. Grab a spot on the bench.

Dominic: Today's challenge was just a whole lot of fun! I enjoyed it.
Isabella: Same here! It's probably better that we didn't win either... stay clear of the drama.
Dominic: Yeah, let everyone else partake in the drama... I'd rather just stay away and enjoy my time out here.

PG: And this is the final ball! Whoever catches this one wins the mission!

Kendall: Rock, paper, scissors?

Willow: Sure!

Kendall and Willow play a quick game of Rock, Paper, Scissors. Camera pans away at the results.

PG: Alright, time to launch the final ball! 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!

PG launches the final ball. Quincy and Kendall don't move, as both Nolan and Willow run towards it. They pick it up together and hold it in the air.

PG: And just like that, Purple Team wins the first Endurance Mission!

Nolan: Thank you guys, we owe you one!

Kendall: I'm very happy with the way the mission went. I feel very comfortable with Purple Team winning.
Quincy: Same here, I would have liked to be the ones to see what's at the Island's End. But I'm just glad the samadhi is in our alliance's hands.

Purple and Yellow all exchanges hugs. Camera pans to all teams standing in front of PG again.

PG: That was a very exciting first Endurance Mission everybody. Purple Team, congratulations on winning! Not only are you guys receiving the Leadership pyramid piece... putting you one piece ahead of everybody else in the lead. You will also be handing out the all important samadhi, giving someone a major disadvantage in the next temple mission, PLUS you are in control on who goes to the Island's End. You can either send yourself, or any other team! It's a lot of decisions to make. You have the afternoon to figure it all out!

Willow: The friendship's we've built in this game so far definitely helped us win today!
Nolan: I was scared that we would be put in a position where we'd have to choose, and put us on the outs... but luckily it didn't come to that.
Willow: Now we have all the power! This is going to be a fun afternoon.

A few teams walk over to Purple and congratulate them. Camera pans to the teams walking back to the treehouses. Orange Team talking.

Holly: I think it's pretty obvious they're giving us the samadhi.

Paulie: Probably, but I'm not going down that easily. We've got to plant some seeds.

Paulie: Purple seems to be aligned with Green and Yellow, who also happen to be the teams that hate us the most out here. So it's not looking good for us. But I'm not going down without a fight.

Camera pans to Paulie talking to Nolan in the hammocks.

Paulie: Look, I know you both probably have your minds made up already, and that's cool. But just keep in mind... we are a strong team.

Nolan: Yes, you've definitely proven that. I respect you guys as good competitors.

Paulie: Thank you. You also know that we've already proven we can overcome disadvantages in this game.

Nolan: That is also very true.

Paulie: I'm not expecting you to go after your friends or anything. I'm just saying, if you make a strong team angry, and they come after you... that could ruin your game.

Nolan: Good point, I definitely don't want that to happen.

Nolan: So in true Paulie style, instead of coming up to me and offering me an alliance or some sort of friendship... He tries to strong arm me and threaten me, saying if we give him the samadhi, they're coming after me and Willow. Sorry, not sorry.. you put yourself in this situation. I'm just looking out for my best interest.

Camera pans to Brown and Blue teams in the treehouse.

Tori: I feel like everybody is looking at us as Orange's minions now.

Veronica: That's why we took them out! We can't have 6 teams mad at us in order to keep Orange happy.

Micah: I get that, but we could have had a 3 team strong alliance. And now everything is just a mess.

Devyn: A three team strong alliance, with all of us on the bottom. At least this way we are somewhere in the middle. Everyone's after Orange, not us.

Micah: And they're after us because we saved them!

Devyn: Well not to sound mean or anything, but that's kind of your problem for saving them.

Micah: Are you kidding me dude? We saved them in the interest of all of us! You're being a jerk.

Micah storms out of the treehouses.

Veronica: Tori, you see where we're coming from right?

Tori: I mean, I get it. It's something we should have discussed before the mission I guess. Because now you two are sitting pretty, but we look like the bad guys.

Devyn: You need to calm your brother down though, because if we want any chance of working together... it can't be like this.

Tori: Yeah... I'll talk to him. We need you guys. Please don't turn on us.

Devyn: Micah, dude... it's not my fault you made the decision to save Orange. I never told you to do that. And if after having all the other teams turn against you, you want to come at me and turn me against you? I just don't understand the strategy.

Tori is seen running after Micah.

Tori: Micah, slow down. MICAH!

Micah: I'm sorry, I'm just so annoyed. I thought he was my buddy.

Tori: He is! You need to just relax a bit. You can't take this personally, he's just doing what he thinks is best for his team

Micah: And screwing our team's chances in the process...

Tori: I get that, ok? But do you really think our best move right now is to turn the one team that has our back against us?

Micah: Well obviously not! I just don't want to work with people who aren't looking out for us!

Tori: Just go for a walk, cool off... and afterwards we will talk ok? Everything's alright, we just need to do a bit of damage control.

Micah: I guess this is what makes us different. Tori grew up with mom... and Mom's always been cool, and collected. Dad's a bit of a hot head, and I guess living with him has rubbed off on me. She's right though... if we want to make it through this, I can't be turning on the people who have our backs.

Skye, Willow, and Isabella are on the beach.

Skye: I'm so proud of you!

Isabella: Yeah, you guys did really well!

Willow: Thanks! It feels nice to win.

Isabella: I'm guessing you're giving the samadhi to Orange?

Willow: I think so. I saw Paulie talking to Nolan a little while ago, but I don't think that's going to change anything.

Skye: That's the boring part of all of this though... I want to know what happens at the Island's End!

Willow: I'm excited to find out about that too! A little bit scared, but I'm sure it'll be cool.

Isabella: I'm thankful I was able to connect with these girls. Was a little worried that we would totally be on the outs, but so far it seems like we're doing ok.

Camera pans to the Purple, Yellow and Green team talking.

Nolan: Paulie came up to me and pretty much said if we give him the samadhi, he's coming after us.

Wyatt: He's coming after us anyways... what difference does it make?

Willow: Well right now I'm thinking he's coming after you two first, and then us. But if we give him the samadhi we're probably first on his list.

Kendall: Wait, you guys aren't actually thinking of not giving it to them, are you?

Nolan: Of course we're giving it to them! I'm not letting anyone strong arm us out here.

Quincy: And how about the Island's End? Would you be willing to let us go since we let you win the mission?

Willow: Wait a second, you didn't let us win. We did Rock, Paper, Scissors fair and square.

Kendall: I get that, but we also did give you the advantage in the Right to Stay mission.

Nolan: But we all agreed to do that. If you guys wanted it, we would have given it to you. 

Quincy: That's fair enough, so you guys are sending yourself to the Islands End?

Nolan: I think so. I'm pretty excited to see what's over there. Nothing like this has ever been done before!

Willow: Look, whatever the advantage is, we are going to share it for the alliance.

Quincy: I'm not going to say anything to them, because I don't want to start any drama. But I do think it's a little bit selfish of them to not even consider sending Kendall and I to the Islands End. We've given them so much in the game already. An advantage in the Right to Stay, AND we pretty much just let them win the mission today. You would think they'd be happy just having an extra Pyramid Piece... but no, they want it all.

Camera shows all 8 teams meeting PG at the Circle of Decisions as they take seats on the logs in front.

PG: Welcome everyone. This is the Circle of Decisions, where all important decisions in the game will be made, and today's no exception. Purple Team, you won quite a bit of power today. How do you feel?

Willow: It feels good to win! But it doesn't feel good that we are about to make some pretty difficult decisions.

PG: That's a fair answer. Everything good, comes with something bad in this game. Purple Team, who have you decided to give the samadhi to, and why?

Nolan: Well, it's no surprise that one team out here has put a huge target on their back. It would be silly of us to do anything other than give it to The Orange Team.

Paulie: And now that target's going to be on your back. Remember what I told you.

Nolan: You didn't tell me anything, you threatened me.

Paulie: And I will live up to my threat, believe me on that.

PG: Orange team, you have received the samadhi. Step on up, crack it open... and let's find out what your disadvantage is going to be.

Paulie and Holly walk up. Holly takes the samadhi, and smashes it against a rock. A rope falls out.

Holly: A rope?

PG: That rope is 1 foot long. That is because in tomorrow's temple mission, you are going to have a 1 foot disadvantage. What that means, we will find out tomorrow! For now, have a seat.

Holly: A one foot disadvantage sounds pretty bad. But we are one of the strongest teams here, and we've already proven once that we can overcome a disadvantage.
Paulie: And we're just going to do it again tomorrow... but this time, we are coming for you Purple!

Orange team returns to their log.

PG: And one more decision to make. The Island's End. Nobody knows what is over there, but all you do know is there's an advantage waiting, but it comes with a price. Purple Team, who will you be sending to The Island's End?

Willow: Well because it's the first one, and you keep saying there's an advantage over there... we really want to know what it is! So we are sending ourselves.

PG: And that settles it! Orange Team, you have been given a 1 foot disadvantage in tomorrow's mission. Purple Team on the other hand, here is a map. You will immediately follow it to The Island's End while everyone else heads back to camp. You can all head on out, and I will see you at the first Temple Mission!

Seven teams are seen heading off in the direction towards camp, while Purple Team is seen following their map in the opposite direction.

Willow: That was a bit intense...

Nolan: With Orange Team? Whatever... they're all talk.

Willow: I'm a little bit nervous about the Island's End...

Nolan: Nervous? But he said there's an advantage.

Willow: That comes at a price!

Willow: I have no idea what to expect walking over to this Islands End. An advantage sounds great, but what's the catch? What can we possibly offer up in exchange for an advantage?

Willow and Nolan walk up to a podium at the Islands End.

Willow: This is so cool!

Nolan: Look, there's a note.

Nolan picks up the note and begins reading.

Nolan: "Welcome to The Islands End. As you know, you are being tempted with an advantage. But it will cost you. On the podium in front of you, there is an Immunity Token. This immunity token allows you to play it on yourselves, or any other team after the two teams going to the Temple of Fate are announced. If you choose to play it, the team you play it on is now safe, and the temple mission winners will immediately need to name a replacement team to go to Temple. This advantage will expire when there are 4 teams left in the game"

Willow: You have got to be kidding me... that is huge!

Nolan: That has definitely never been done before!

Willow: What's the catch?

Nolan: "In order to gain this extraordinary power in the game, it comes at a cost. You will need to give up two pyramid pieces in order to buy this advantage."

Willow: No way!

Nolan: Two pyramid pieces? That's crazy...

Nolan: So, we read the note and we're told about this crazy power we can receive. And then we continue on, and we see that the price is the things that are the most important part of winning this game... TWO PYRAMID PIECES? This... this just got interesting.

NOT ISLAND'S END COMING BACK (how did you know I was gonna steal that name for something in the future lmfaoooo). Okay but I actually love the Island's End twist. Whereas in E5, Purple basically got a free ride to the final 4 for doing nothing, this actually requires the team to be strategic because pieces aren't always easy to accumulate.

Something is legit WRONG with Orange team lmfao such trolls.

Blue team is right... Micah, sorry bro, but you're the one who made an alliance with Orange. Not Blue. That's your problem. Deal with it.

Haha I feel like I've used the named Island's End like 5 different times, and each time it's something different lol. But this is probably my favourite version of it. 

And love your commentary on your opinions of teams What would your ranking be?

[Cruise meerkat Youssy]

Island's End is actually a really creative name and I applaud younger you for thinking of it.

I'd rank my fave teams:
Love them
-Blue
-Purple

Like them
-Gray

No real opinion yet
-Red
-Yellow

Meh
-Green

Annoying
-Brown (but I like Tori, just not Micah)
-Orange (holy hell I'd die if I had to live with those twins)

Episode 4: Power Trip

Camera pans to Nolan and Willow at the Island's End midway through reading the note.

Nolan: "In order to gain this extraordinary power in the game, it comes at a cost. You will need to give up two pyramid pieces in order to buy this advantage."

Willow: No way!

Nolan: Two pyramid pieces? That's crazy...

Nolan: So, we read the note and we're told about this crazy power we can receive. And then we continue on, and we see that the price is the things that are the most important part of winning this game... TWO PYRAMID PIECES? This... this just got interesting.

Willow: Well, this is definitely something we have to discuss.

Nolan: I think it goes without saying, that advantage could be the difference between us staying in the game, or getting sent home.

Willow: I definitely agree with that, but at the same time... that's all our pyramid pieces. And at the end of the day, those are what we need to win.

Willow: In any normal situation, you would never even think of getting rid of your pyramid pieces, because that is the key to becoming Endurance Champions. But when you're tempted with something like that... everything changes.

Nolan: But if you think about it, those pyramid pieces only really matter if we make it to the end in the first place. Say Orange wins tomorrow... you think they aren't going to send us to Temple?

Willow: True, true. Wow, I was not expecting to have to make this crazy of a decision this early on in the game.

Nolan: I say we just go with our guts...

Camera fades out, and fades back in to Purple returning to camp, and everyone except Orange come out of the tree house to hug them.

Veronica: Welcome back! Everything went okay?

Willow: Yes! All I'm going to say is this game is crazy!

Jacob: So what happened?

Nolan: All we are going to say is... we were offered an advantage in exchange for our pyramid pieces.

Camera quickly flashes to Purple's piece pole, which is now empty, and then back to the group.

Willow: But we are not telling you guys what the advantage was, I hope you understand.

Dominic: Ah really? That's fair enough though!

Willow: When Nolan and I took the advantage, we agreed to come back to camp and kind of be mysterious about what the advantage was to the group as a whole. But when we pull our alliances aside, we will tell them the full proof individually... that way it just kind of solidifies trust.

Willow pulls Isabella and Skye aside.

Willow: Look, I just didn't want to tell everybody in the big group. Our advantage is pretty much anytime a temple decision is made, we can choose to save one of the teams selected.

Skye: Wow! Really?

Isabella: That's a huge advantage!

Willow: Yeah, so pretty much if any of the three of us get sent to temple, I could save us.

Skye: You would really do that for us?

Willow: Of course! I love you guys.

Isabella: That's so nice of you!

Isabella: I think Willow want's us to think she's being nice about this. But let's be real, there's no way she's using that advantage on any team other than her own. If she uses it on one of us, she could easily be the replacement team... I feel like she's just telling us what we want to hear honestly... and it seems to have worked on Skye!

Camera pans to Nolan with Yellow and Green on the beach.

Nolan: Sorry to be all secretive up there guys. We just don't really want anyone outside of our alliance knowing our advantage.

Quincy: Please tell me you get to send Orange team straight home!

Nolan: Oh I wish! I would trade 14 pieces for that. No, we have what's called the immunity token. If we, or anyone we want to save is ever sent to temple, we can use the immunity token to save them... then the team that won the temple mission will have to choose a new team.

Jasmine: What? That's so awesome!

Nolan: Obviously we're going to use it in a way to protect all three of us.

Kendall: I'm pretty happy with my alliance right now. I was a little bit ticked at first when we handed them the win, and they didn't pick us to go to the Island's End. But lucky for our alliance they made that decision, because we wouldn't have even had the two pieces needed to trade for the advantage. At least now it's in our alliances hand, and I do believe they would use it to help us.

Camera shows Dominic and Isabella talking.

Isabella: Have you noticed how perfectly Willow has set their team up for victory?

Dominic: No kidding! She has 4/7 teams working with her in two separate alliances. I wish I could do that!

Dominic: Who would have though this 12 year old girl would be the one to watch out for! She has everybody wrapped around her finger, and honestly, it's pretty fascinating to watch. It's always the youngsters you've got to watch out for! Laughs.

Isabella: And there advantage is crazy! They pretty much have immunity if anybody ever send them to tribal!

Dominic: As if their alliance's weren't enough!

Isabella: She told me they'd be willing to use it on us if we ever get sent up, but honestly I don't really trust her.

Dominic: I mean, she seems nice and everything... but there are 3 teams other than us that she's looking out for.

Isabella: And the amount of time I've seen Yellow, Purple, and Green hang out together? That worries me.

Isabella: Right now I've sort of been working with Purple and Red, but that was just sort of out of having no other choice. But seeing the way Willow has been working this game, I need to make some sort of move to better MY position... I didn't come out here to give Purple an easy game, and I hope I'm not seen as a villain for going against my first ally.

Isabella walks over to the hammocks, where Blue and Brown are hanging out.

Isabella: Hey guys! How's it going!

Devyn: Hey Bella! Not too bad, just gossiping about what we think their advantage is.

Micah: Yeah, right now the top guess is they'll get to eliminate any team they want.

Tori: Which would mean bye bye Orange!

Isabella: Not quite. I'll tell you guys what it is, but you have to promise not to say I said anything.

Isabella: I promised to keep it a secret from Willow... but she has everyone's back before she has mine. I'm sorry... but I need to work my way into this new alliance, and exposing some secrets is the best way to do it.

Tori: Whoa no way!

Micah: So not as powerful as what we though... but that's still crazy!

Veronica: And they're saying they'll use it on you guys?

Isabella: Well that's what she's saying... but let's be real! If they use it on us, they're going to be the replacements. It's not happening.

Veronica: Isabella coming up to us and basically blurting out Purple teams advantage... part of me thinks it's good for us. Now we have a new ally... but part of me is also thinking, if she's willing to do this to the only team she's visibly been close to, what's to stop her from doing it to us.

Paulie and Holly are walking by the pyramid poles.

Holly: Whoa! No way!

Paulie: Laughing This is way too good. They lost ALL their pieces?

Holly: Makes you wonder what advantage they got out of that... it must be pretty good.

Holly: To go from first place in terms of pieces, straight down to last place? Girl, I hope that advantage was worth it... because you pretty much just gave up all momentum you had it the game!

Camera pans out, and then back into the 8 teams assembling in front of PG on the beach.

PG: Hello everybody! Welcome back to the mission beach. As you all know, today you're competing in your first Temple Mission. By the end of today, two teams will head up to the Temple of Fate... but only one will return!

Everybody looks nervous.

PG: Today's Temple Mission is called Leap of Fate. Each team will have their own station, and a large jump rope like contraption made of wood will swing around and around. Your job is simple, jump over the wood every time it comes around. If you don't time you jump perfectly, you'll break the wood... and you're out!

Some excited faces, and some nervous faces among the group.

PG: Now Orange Team, you received a 1 foot disadvantage from the samadhi. Your contraption will be raised 1 foot higher than every other team, meaning each time you will have to jump higher than the rest.

Holly: That's it?

Paulie: Piece of cake!

Paulie: We're the tallest people out here, so a 1 foot disadvantage isn't going to do all that much. Sure it might be a little bit more difficult, but we've already beat out one disadvantage in this game before, whats 1 more?

PG: The last team left jumping will send 2 teams to the Temple of Fate... and on top of that, receive the two pieces Purple gave up at the Island's End, Trust and Leadership.

Lots of shocked faces and a few gasps.

Devyn: Wow, that's crazy!

Nolan: That really changes everything!

Nolan: Now we know that if someone gives up their pieces at the Island's End, they could easily just win it back at the next Temple Mission. Well... I say easily, but any other team could also easily win and pick up the pieces we gave up. This adds a whole new level to the game.

PG: There is a lot at stake today... everybody get into position, and we will begin!

Camera pans to all 8 teams standing on their platforms inside the contraptions.

PG: Alright, everybody is set. We will start the contraptions now!

Shows the contraptions starting to move around. Camera pans to the Orange Team.

Holly: Okay maybe that 1 foot disadvantage is going to make a difference.

Paulie: Don't think about that and just focus!

Camera pans over to the Blue team.

Veronica: One, two, three JUMP! One, two, three JUMP!

Devyn: Not only do you have to make sure you're jumping over this wooden plank... you have to make sure you and your partner are doing it at the exact same time, because if your timing is off by even a second, you'll mess up and break that wood. I can't see any of the teams who don't get along as well as us doing nearly as good.

Camera pans to the Brown team.

Micah: Tori! You're jumping too soon!

Tori: You have to tell me when you want me to jump then!

Micah: The lack of communication is starting to show. Most of these teams are super close... but Tori and I have been separated our whole lives. We're not really used to the whole communicating thing.

Micah: One, two, THREE!

Micah jumps, and Tori jumps a second too late, tripping on the wooden plank and causing it to break.

Micah: d**nit Tori!

Tori: I thought you were saying One, two, three, JUMP! I didn't realize we were jumping on three!

PG: Brown Team is the first team out of the mission! Grab a spot on the bench!

Camera pans to the Red Team who seem to be jumping in rhythm, then pans to the Grey Team.

Isabella: Good job Dom! We're doing really well.

Dominic: Whoo! This is pretty fun... but tiring as well.

Dominic: These are the types of missions I like. Nothing to do with heights... nothing that's going to build up my anxiety. Just a good old fashioned skipping contest.

Camera shows Kendall jumping and landing on the wooden plank, breaking it.

Kendall: I'm sorry Quincy!

Quincy: It's okay, you tried your best!

Quincy: We did as well as we could today. Kendall is one of the shortest girl out here, so we we were pretty much coming into this game with a natural samadhi. Now just have to hope Green or Purple can pull this one out.

PG: Yellow team, take a spot on the bench next to Brown!

Paulie: Two down... five to go!

Camera pans the the remaining 6 teams, all looking strong.

PG: Everybody's doing really well so far... it's time to turn up the speed!

Camera shows the contraptions moving faster.

Veronica: One, two, three JUMP! One, two, oh wow this is crazy!

Blue Team both mistime their jump and break the plank.

Devyn: Way too fast!

PG: And Blue Team falls victim to the speed change. Take a spot on the bench! We are down to 5.

Camera pans to the Orange Team.

Holly: How are you feeling?

Paulie: Piece of cake! You?

Holly: My legs are starting to hurt... but we are winning this!

PG: Orange Team is having to jump higher than every other team, and they're still looking strong!

Camera pans to Red Team.

Skye: Jacob, I don't think I can do this anymore. It's hurting.

Jacob: It's okay. I'm proud of you.

Skye lets the wooden plank hit her feet, and breaks.

Skye: Little legs, what can I say?

PG: This mission is proving more difficult for the shorter people. Red Team, grab a spot on the bench. And for the remaining 4 teams, beware. It's time to turn up the speed a little bit more!

Camera shows the 4 remaining teams as the contraptions start to move faster.

Willow: Oh my, this is crazy!

Dominic: This is so fast!

Holly: Now this is a mission!

Dominic is shown misstepping and breaking the plank.

Dominic: No! I'm sorry!

Isabella: Don't be, I'm proud of us.

PG: And just like that, Grey Team is out. We are left with Purple, Green, and Orange!

Paulie: Now we really have to win this!

Holly: We're left up there with two teams in the opposing alliance... so it really is up to us. Overcome the samadhi and win, or lose and definitely go to Temple. I like the first option better.

Wyatt: Purple, how are you guys doing.

Nolan: Good- You know- Just trying to focus!

Camera shows Wyatt getting distracted and stepping on the wooden plank.

Wyatt: d**nit!

PG: And in one quick lapse of judgement, Green Team is out of the running. We are left with Purple, who won the last Endurance Mission... and Orange, who they gave the samadhi to!

Jasmine: Who would have thought... the team that we gave the advantage to in the Right to Stay because we though they would be the weakest, turns out to be one of the strongest teams out here... Purple team is a powerhouse! Winning last mission, and now they're the only team left keeping our alliance in this. Willow, you proved me wrong girl!

Holly: Let's make a deal.

Nolan: No freaking way!

Paulie: You're not our target if we win... we're going after Green and Yellow.

Nolan: I highly doubt that. You definitely don't seem like the types to just forgive our samadhi decision.

Holly: You got us there... we can hold a grudge. But those two teams pissed us off long before you. We have a hit list, and you're safe this round.

Nolan: Good to know... still don't trust it!

Willow: Nolan stop talking! You're starting to loose your concentration!

Camera shows Nolan stepping a second behind Willow and stepping on the plank, breaking it.

Nolan: No!

Paulie: Oh my god!

Holly: We did it!!!

Paulie and Holly stop jumping and hug, jump up and down, and then Paulie walks right by the bench where all the other teams are sitting.

Paulie: I told you all. KARMA! Yellow and Green, this is what you get for trying to make us look like the bad guys.

Kendall: You did that to yourself...

Paulie: Blue, this is what you get for taking us out in the Endurance Mission! Brown, this is good karma for you for sticking by us!

Micah and Tori look awkward as Paulie walks over to the Purple team.

Paulie: And don't even get me started on you Purple... the samadhi, and you didn't take out deal? Now we have all your pieces, PLUS all the power.

Nolan: At least you're humble about it...

Paulie: I don't have to be humble about it... I've got all the power! I can do whatever I want!

Wyatt: Keep in mind... that power only last for a few hours.

Paulie: And then I just win again Wyatt! That's what we do best. WIN!

Kendall: This is your first win... don't get to far ahead of yourself.

Paulie: One of many....

Camera pans to the 8 teams lined up in front of PG.

PG: That was an exciting temple mission. And in the end, Orange Team... you guys not only receive the Trust and Leadership pieces that Purple lost... you also get to send two teams up to the Temple of Fate, and one of those teams will head home. It's a lot to think about. You'll have the afternoon to decide, I'll see you later on for the decision.

Camera shows the 8 teams heading off back to camp. Pans to the Brown team talking.

Micah: I was questioning your decision to work with Orange... but turns out it's working to our advantage at the moment.

Tori: We are incredibly lucky. If any other team won, we'd probably be going up to temple with them.

Tori: We exposed ourselves in the Endurance Mission as being friendly with Orange. Lucky for us they won today, because I have no doubt we would be going to Temple otherwise!

Camera pans to inside the treehouse, where Orange is celebrating.

Holly: That was SO GOOD! We have every single team shook!

Paulie: Now it's time to take complete control. This is going to be so good.

Holly: Time to break up Green and Yellow!

Holly: Winning today's mission was absolutely amazing. Paulie called out every single team that has been against us, and watching them all shake in terror... SO GOOD! Now it's time to take out one of the two teams that has been against us since the start, but let the other teams scurry all day wondering if we're sending them.

Nolan and Willow are walking on the beach.

Nolan: Well, this definitely took a turn for the worse...

Willow: It's a good thing we got this immunity token.

Nolan: No kidding! I was hoping we wouldn't have to use it on the first round... 

Willow: Don't count us out just yet. I have an idea.

Nolan: In true Willow style! Laughs.

Nolan: I'm learning a whole lot about my cousin out here... like she's a strategic mastermind! Laughing. Not going to lie, when we signed up for this together I wasn't expecting much. But she's pretty much running this game! Way to go cousin!

Willow walks into the treehouse where Orange is talking.

Willow: So I'm just going to throw it out there... it would be a very bad idea for you to send us to temple tonight.

Holly: Oh really? And why's that?

Willow: Trust me, it's going to come back and bite you in the butt.

Paulie: I don't really think you're in the position to be threatening us right now.

Willow: Well I kind of think I am. Because I have this little thing right here Pulls out the immunity token.

Holly: Are we supposed to know what that is?

Willow: It's what we got at the Island's End. We aren't going to Temple. If you send us, we play this thing and we're safe and you have to pick again!

Paulie: I don't believe that for a second.

Willow: Believe what you want. You really think we would give up two pyramid pieces for something that isn't going to help us? You'll see soon enough.

Willow: I came up with the plan to just straight up tell Orange what they're dealing with in hopes that it would scare them into not picking us. We have nothing to lose at this point, they were going to say our name anyways.

Willow walks out of the treehouse leaving Orange.

Holly: Laughing This is TOO GOOD. Like... way too good!

Paulie: She's terrified!

Holly: I almost want to say their name's just to teach them not to threaten us.

Paulie: Oh my god, that would be so good. Let's do it!

Holly: Force their immunity token out of play. This is amazing.

Holly: Laughing. I can't get over this... it's hilarious! Purple wasn't even on our radar today, but Willow does what Willow does best and tries to take control of every situation. What were you thinking girl? Now we're going to force you to play your token when you originally weren't going to have to, and we are still going to separate Green and Yellow. That backfired on you pretty fast, didn't it? You lost all your pieces for absolutely no reason!

Camera shows Paulie walking over to the Blue team.

Paulie: I'm going to make this conversation short and simple. I'm not impressed that you guys took us out in the last Endurance Mission. But we will not send you tonight if you promise to work with us and Brown.

Devyn: We would definitely appreciate not being sent. The only reason we took you out was because we hadn't actually talked to you guys... just Brown.

Paulie: Well you're talking to me now. And I'm saying if we save you tonight, you're on our side. Do we have a deal?

Veronica: Yes, definitely! We want to be on your side.

Paulie: Congratulations! You live to see another day in the game.

Paulie walks away and leaves the Blue team alone.

Veronica: Holy crap, that is what I call a power trip...

Devyn: No kidding. That was just... intense. This is all going to come back and bite them in the butt.

Veronica: I've never ever met anybody like Paulie and Holly. They're letting this power go straight to their head, and they're making threats left and right. It's crazy... nobody is going to bully me into working with them. I make my own decisions. But hey, if it's keeping me safe tonight, I'll tell you whatever you want to hear.

Camera shows all 8 teams meeting PG at the Circle of Decision and sitting on their logs.

PG: Welcome back to the Circle of Decisions! Today Orange did what very few teams have managed to do in the history of Endurance... overcome the samadhi and win today's temple mission! Not only did you manage to pick up Purple's 2 pieces... but you now have the power to send two teams up to the Temple of Fate. Have you made a decision?

Holly: We definitely did. Originally we were just going to take the simple route and send Green and Yellow...

Paulie: But then a "strategic mastermind" named Willow decided to come up to us, and expose her immunity token. What a foolish thing to do...

Camera shows Purple looking surprised and nervous.

Holly: Can't have advantages like that running around the game. So we are sending Green and Purple to temple... now go ahead and play your token.

Nolan: You guys... are the definition of evil.

Paulie: Hey, don't blame us! If it wasn't for your partner, you'd be sitting pretty... sliding by tonight with an immunity token to use later on. 

Holly: Now instead you've given up all your pieces... and for what? A waster of an advantage!

Willow: I'm sorry Nolan...

Nolan: Don't be sorry, there was no way of knowing... we did what we thought was best.

PG: Alright, Green and Purple team... you have been chosen-

Willow walks up to PG and hands him the token.

Willow: Here you go... it was nice while it lasted.

PG: Purple team is playing an immunity token! That means they are now safe, and Orange Team will have to select a replacement team to head to temple.

Paulie: And now to our original plan... Green and Yellow, time to say goodbye.

Wyatt: And now it's time to say goodbye to your power trip... as you no longer have any power.

Paulie: Do you think I care Wyatt? I'm splitting up the biggest alliance in the game... and it's the FIRST temple of fate!

PG: And just like that, Green and Yellow team, you have been chosen to take the long trek to the Temple of Fate. You have an hour to pack your things, say your goodbyes... because one of you will be heading home tonight.

Camera shows Kendall and Jasmine crying, as teams come over to hug them. Camera then pans to the treehouse, with Green, Yellow and Purple talking.

Willow: I'm really sorry guys... I feel like I let the whole alliance down.

Quincy: What? No! They would have sent us either way, you didn't let us down at all.

Willow: Yeah, but if I had just kept my mouth shut we would at least have an immunity token to use next time this happens.

Wyatt: Well here's the thing... we just got to make sure this doesn't happen again!

Kendall: Yes, if we go home, you guys better not let Orange win again.

Jasmine: Deal! Same applies if we go home.

Nolan: I don't want either of you to go home... this sucks.

Quincy: I'm really going to miss you guys...

The three teams hug, some of them crying as they realize this is one of their last moments together. Camera pans to Red team and Grey team in the hammocks.

Jacob: Talk about fireworks...

Dominic: No kidding! That was insane, my heart was pounding like crazy!

Skye: I feel so bad for Willow... she didn't deserve that.

Isabella: Yeah, that was a tough one... this game is crazy, and we aren't even a week in!

Isabella: I spent most of the morning trying to work my way into different teams by exposing Purple's advantage. I feel kind of bad doing that, but it turns out none of that really matters... because they just exposed themselves. I actually think I managed to work my way into a few different alliances at least. We'll see, but right now I feel pretty good. AND WE OFFICIALLY JUST BEAT THE GREY TEAM CURSE!

Camera shows the sun beginning to set, as all the teams are outside the treehouse saying their goodbyes and sharing hugs.

Jasmine: We'll miss you guys!

Tori: Good luck you guys.

Quincy: Don't let Orange win!

Camera pans to Yellow and Green walking off into the sunset as Willow is shown crying.

Holly: Remember this moment everybody... we saved every team left standing here.

Paulie: You all owe us.

Camera shows Yellow and Green team walking into the Temple of Fate and standing behind their podiums.

PG: Yellow Team, Green Team... not going to lie, I definitely wasn't expecting to see you be the first two teams up here.

Wyatt: Oh believe me... we didn't either PG.

PG: Either way, it's happened... Welcome to the Temple of Fate! One of you is about to fall victim to the elements, while one of you is about to head back into the game... and I'm sure some revenge is in store.

Kendall: You better believe it!

PG: In front of me is a cauldron with water, a cauldron with fire, and a cauldron with wood. You will need to write one of these three elements on a stick, and hand it to me. I will drop them in the fire, and we will reveal who picked which element. Keep in mind, Fire burns the Wood, Wood floats on Water, and Water puts out the Fire. Whoever picks the dominant element will score a point. First team to two points will head back into the game... the other team will be the third team eliminated from Endurance Bloodlines. Everybody understand?

Both teams nod.

PG: Alright, then go ahead and write down your first elements.

Jasmine: Good luck you guys.

Quincy: You too!

Both teams write down their elements, and hand their sticks to PG who places them in the fire.

PG: Alright, here we go... may the elements please rise!

The elements rise, revealing both teams choices.

PG: Oh! Green Team, you guys chose Fire. Yellow Team, you chose Water. Water puts out the Fire, that's one point for the Yellow Team.

Yellow Team give a small celebratory hug, as camera shows Green Team nervous.

PG: Alright, go ahead and write down your second elements!

Quincy: I feel like we should stick with water!

Kendall: Whatever you want!

Both teams write down their second elements and give their sticks to PG who places them in the fire.

PG: Alright, if Yellow Team has the dominant element... they will head back to camp. But if Green Team has it, we will be tied up. May the elements please rise now!

Both elements rise, once again revealing the teams choices.

PG: Yellow Team, you stuck with your original choice of Water, but Green Team... you switched it up and chose Wood. Wood floats on Water, Green Team has just tied up the game.

Jasmine: Yes!

Green Team hugs as Yellow looks at each other.

PG: This will be the final round. Whoever wins this round is headed back into the game. Both of you, please write down what will be your final elements.

Wyatt: I'm going to let you decide this one.

Jasmine: What? No way, this is not going to be all on me!

Both teams privately write down their final elements and hand it to PG, who once again places them in the fire.

PG: There's a lot riding on this... you both know the stakes, so let's just get right to it. May the elements rise for the final time.
 
Both elements rise. Both teams react.

PG: And there we have it! Yellow Team, you picked Fire... and Green Team, you picked Water. Water puts out the Fire, congratulations Green Team... you are heading back into the game!

Wyatt: We did it!

Wyatt lifts Jasmine off the ground and spins her around, while camera pans to Kendall crying and Quincy consoling her.

Quincy: It's okay Kendall... everything's going to be alright.

Green Team walks over and hugs Yellow.

Wyatt: You guys are the best friends I could have asked for out here...

Kendall: Crying I love you guys so much... I'm so glad we met you.

Jasmine: Keep your head held high guys, you did great.

Quincy: You better win this for us!

PG: Sorry to cut the goodbye short, but Yellow Team... it's time for you to head out.

Shows Quincy and Kendall walking to the fire pit and standing behind it.

Quincy: We came into this game as close cousins, and we are leaving this even closer!
Kendall: I couldn't have asked for a better person to do this with... it was so much fun!
Quincy: Leaving with each other, as well as a few new friends. I'd say this was a success.

Jasmine: Crying Love you guys!

Kendall: Love you too!

Quincy: Take out Orange!

Quincy and Kendall fade out behind the fire. Camera pans back to PG and the Green Team.

PG: I know this is a bitter sweet moment for you, but I hope you get some satisfaction in knowing that you're heading back to camp. I'm sure many will be happy to see you-

Wyatt: Except for one!

PG: Laughing Yes, except for one. Head back to camp!

Camera shows the two shadows of the Green Team appearing in the distance coming towards camp.

Jacob: Who is it?

Micah: It looks like Yellow!

Jasmine: THINK AGAIN!

Dominic: Oh my god, IT'S GREEN!

Everybody runs towards Green and hugs them in celebration, except for Orange.

Paulie: One down...

Holly: Six more to go...

Episode 5: Catching Feelings

Camera shows Tori and Jacob sitting in the hammocks together.

Jacob: I cannot believe how crazy this game has been already... we're not even a week in yet!

Tori: No kidding! So much has happened...

Jacob: And the biggest alliance in the game has already been broken up!

Tori: Way to go Orange Team! Laughs

Tori: Jacob and I have been hanging out quite a bit lately... we have so much in common, it's nuts! I told my mom I wouldn't come home with a boyfriend, but if I did... Jacob's looking like the one Laughing. Please don't air this.

Jacob: I've never done anything like this! What I wouldn't give to listen to some music right now.

Tori: Yeah, if I was at home right now I'd be in my room listening to some Florence and the Machine!

Jacob: Oh my god, no way! I love them!

Jacob: It's kind of taken me a little longer to get into the groove of this game... but once I started talking with Tori, it's just like... instant connection! I wouldn't go as far as to say we're boyfriend/girlfriend... but I mean... she's a cool chick.

Camera shows Holly looking at the two of them from the distance.

Holly: Sighs We break up one power duo... and another one forms.

Holly: We made a huge power move right off the bat, and we broke up the tightest pair in the game... but here comes Tori and Jacob, looking like Ken and Barbie in the hammocks. Tori... you're supposed to be working for me. I do not approve of you flirting with the enemy.

Holly pulls Tori into the treehouse.

Holly: One girl to another... don't trust Jacob.

Tori: Looks shocked. What... what are you talking about?

Holly: He was flirting with me two days ago, and when I showed him nothing, he moves onto you? Don't you see what he's doing?

Tori: Really? I don't even think I've seen him talking to you.

Holly: That's because I turned him away so fast, I didn't even give him the chance. I know his type... trust me girl, bad news.

Tori: I see... good to know. Thanks for the heads up.

Holly: Of course I know nothing about Jacob. I made it all up. All I know is Willow and Skye are close, and I don't want Red team getting in the ears of the one team I for sure have on my side. So... if I have to tell a few lies to protect my butt, I'm going to do it.

Camera shows PG walking over to the camp.

PG: Hey guys! Everybody, come on out!

The 7 teams all join PG in front of the treehouses.

PG: So, yesterday was a bit of an emotional day... we said goodbye to our third team. Wyatt, you guys were close to Yellow... how are you feeling today?

Wyatt: You know... it was sad last night, and I miss them. But I know we are going to see them again after the game... they are friends forever. Right now we just have to stay focused on the game.

PG: I like that attitude. Well, Yellow Team left a letter to all of you... Wyatt, I'm going to let you read it to the group.

PG passes the letter in a bottle to Wyatt, who opens it and begin to read the letter.

"Hey guys! It's been really nice getting to know you all in the game. Even though our time was cut short, we appreciate the bonds we made with each and every one of you... well... ALMOST everyone.

Red Team, you guys have been nothing but sweet to us out there, and we love you for that. Keep on proving yourselves!
Purple Team, you have really shown that we were wrong to underestimate you! We have you the advantage thinking you were the weakest, but here you are showing you're one of the strongest. Keep it up!
Blue Team, yet another incredibly strong team. We didn't get to know you too well, but you seem like great people.
Grey Team, we are so proud of you Dominic. We see your struggles, and it's nice to see Isabella standing by you every step of the way... really nice to see.
Brown Team, wish we could have gotten on the same page as you guys. You seem great, but my warning for you... know where you stand in the game. If you stick with Orange, we'll be seeing you very soon.
Orange Team, hopefully you guys don't act like this in real life and it's all just part of the game... because if that's how you are, you two are nasty people. You deserve everything that's about to come at you.
Green Team, we love you guys so much. It was sad to go against you at Temple... but hey, that's the game. You are the greatest friends we could have asked for out here, and please... take Orange Team out next, and then take this all the way to the end. We want to see you win! It's very fitting for us to leave behind the Friendship Piece to you guys... because you have shown us true friendship.

Play fair guys. This is meant to be fun!

Love, Quincy and Kendall."

PG: And just like that, Green Team... you are at 2 pyramid pieces. That puts you in second place, right behind the Orange Team.

Jasmine: Wow, thank you Quincy and Kendall!

Paulie: Don't worry, you guys will be able to thank them in person real soon.

PG: Later this afternoon, you guys are going to be taking part in your second Endurance Mission! A chance for you to grab another pyramid piece, another samadhi... and as we saw, the all important trip to the Island's End!

Willow: So important...

PG: For now, enjoy the rest of the morning. I'll see you guys later!

Dominic: Thanks PG!

PG leaves as everyone begins to scatter around the campground. Camera pans to Purple and Green.

Nolan: Congratulations on getting another piece guys!

Wyatt: Thanks! We're sorry you guys don't have any...

Nolan: Don't be... we made our choice. Just have to win today and get ourselves back on the board.

Jasmine: I know this goes without saying... but the two of us NEED to stick together and get to the end.

Willow: No kidding. Let's go out there and win!

Willow: I never really had full trust in Green. They were always closer to Yellow than they were with us. But now that Yellow's gone, we're pretty much all they got. You would think with them, and my alliance with Red and Grey that we'd be sitting pretty... but Orange has a way to just bring that nervous energy to you.

Micah and Tori are walking on the beach.

Micah: So, how's the boy?

Tori: Oh my god! Is it that obvious?

Micah: You guys are laying in the hammock together... what do you think?

Tori: He... he just reminds me of my friends back home, that's all.

Micah: Hey, I'm not judging. If anything, this works out better for us. I don't know if you're playing him, or actually interested... but you keep doing what you're doing sis.

Micah: We've been struggling hard this whole first week of the game. Struggled to fit into alliances... struggled because we exposed ourselves as working with Orange. So if Tori wants to flirt her way, and get teams on her side... I'm all for it.

Tori: The fact that Micah even has the nerve to say I might be using Jacob just to get a number on our side... it kind of hurts me. I mean, yeah he doesn't know me all that well, but I'm not here to play with peoples emotions. If I'm hanging out with you, it's because I genuinely do care about you, not because I need your vote.

Blue team walks over to where Brown is talking.

Devyn: How's it going?

Tori: It's good, just been a crazy few days is all.

Veronica: No kidding. Look, we just wanted to get on the same page before we head into the mission today.

Micah: Well I think it's pretty clear, we have your back.

Devyn: We know that. We have yours as well.

Veronica: I'm just going to get straight to the point. I want to know how strong your alliance is with Orange.

Micah: Wow, yeah that is pretty direct...

Tori: I told you guys, we were just telling them what they wanted to hear. Last thing we need is them going after us.

Devyn: Okay, well before they made their temple decision they came up to us and basically threatened us, and said if we don't work with you and them, they would send us to Temple.

Micah: Laughs Are you really surprised? That sounds exactly like them.

Tori: I think our best bet moving forward is to make them think we're together, but as soon as we get the chance... take them out.

Veronica: I like that plan.

Veronica: There's been a bit of mistrust between our teams, and we just wanted to clear the air and make sure we are on the same page. Not to mention it's pretty clear that Tori is getting really close with Jacob. I just want to make sure we are still their priority in this game, because if we don't have them... we pretty much have nothing.

Camera shows Grey Team talking by the treehouse.

Dominic: I think so far we've done a pretty good job at laying low and letting the bigger teams go after each other...

Isabella: I think so too. It's almost in our best interest not to win these next few missions and let the other teams go for one another.

Dominic: As much as I want to go at these missions with our full force...

Dominic: Right now our safest option is to just stay out of the line of fire. Everybody has enemies right now except for us. So as long as they're going after each other, Isabella and I just stay clear and slide right through.

Isabella: I've got a few teams to trust us by telling them about Purple's advantage before it got revealed... so right now Brown and Blue trust us because of that, and Purple and Red trust us because of the young girls bond thing we have. So right now I think we're pretty safe.

Camera shows the 7 teams walking onto the beach and assembling in front of PG.

PG: Welcome back to the mission beach, and welcome to your second Endurance Mission!

Some teams look excited, while a few look a little nervous.

PG: Today's mission is called Domino Effect, and here's how it works. In the water, each team has 10 wooden boards. Your job is to swim out, retrieve these wooden boards, bring them back to the beach, and stack them in a row so they fall like dominos. The first team to stack all 10, tip the first one... and manage to have it knock down all 9 of the others, and hit the bell wins the Endurance Mission! The winners will receive the ingenuity pyramid piece, get to hand out the samadhi... and give a team a disadvantage in the next temple mission, and also choose any team, including themselves, to go to the Island's End... where temptation awaits.

Teams clap and look excited.

PG: There's is a lot at stake once again... everybody get ready and we will begin!

Camera shows the 7 teams lined up on the beach ready to run into the water.

PG: Alright, you know what you're playing for. On your marks, get set, GO!

All 14 players run out into the water and start swimming.

Veronica: For all the strength our team has, we have one weakness... Devyn can't swim!

Camera shows Devyn just waiting in the shallow part of the water.

Devyn: Veronica, you bring the plank right over here and I'll run it to the beach!

Veronica: Sounds good!

PG: Blue Team is the only team not both going our to the planks. We will see if that strategy pays off.

Camera shows Orange Team both reaching the planks first.

Holly: Whoa, these are heavier than I expected!

Paulie: You think you can take your own?

Holly: Of course!

Both Paulie and Holly have their own planks they are holding onto, and swimming back.

PG: Orange Team is clearly the fastest swimmers out. They have a bit of a lead over the other teams!

Brown Team and Green Team both reach the planks, each take 2 planks, and start heading back.

PG: Brown and Green are close behind Orange. But there will be a lot of time to catch up in this mission!

Veronica reaches the planks and grabs her first one, while Purple Team also arrives. Shows Willow trying to push a plank.

Willow: Nolan, there's no way I can take one by myself!

Nolan: Okay, just help me with this one then.

PG: Blue Team is at the planks, but with just Veronica there... they are only able to take one. And Willow's size is proving a disadvantage for her team as well. They're going one at a time also. This is going to cost valuable time!

Grey and Red both arrive at the planks.

PG: Grey and Red are the last teams to arrive at the planks. Grey looks like they both have a plank... but Skye is unable to move a plank by herself. 

Camera pans to Orange team both dragging their pieces onto the beach.

PG: Right now Orange has a huge lead over everybody else!

Paulie: Drop it here and let's go!

Orange Team drops off their pieces, as Brown and Green are both dragging their pieces onto the beach at the same time.

PG: Orange is heading out for their next pieces. Brown and Green are just getting in with their first set... and Veronica is passing her piece onto Devyn now.

Devyn: Don't wait for me! Just go grab the next plank!

Brown and Green run back into the water as Purple is dragging their one piece up the beach.

PG: Purple is back on the beach... but with only one piece at a time, they're going to be making 10 trips... while most of these teams will only have to do 5.

Devyn returns with his piece, as camera pans to Veronica in the water reaching the planks again.

Devyn: It's not the most ideal strategy, but we're pretty much on the same pace as all the other teams. If we just keep meeting at the halfway point, we can get the same amount of planks moving... I just hope Veronica doesn't get tired from the constant swimming.

Camera shows fast motion of the teams moving back and forth grabbing planks and returning. 10 minutes later.

PG: You guys have been collecting planks for 10 minutes now! Nobody has begun working on their dominoes yet! Orange still has a bit of a lead, returning with their final 2 planks. Brown and Green are right behind with their final 2 planks as well!

Camera shows Orange ahead of Brown and Green. Then shows Devyn and Purple both dragging one piece on the beach.

PG: This is Blue's 9th piece, and Purple's 5th piece. Don't give up Purple... it could all come down to who builds the dominoes!

Red and Grey are shown swimming side by side in the water.

PG: Grey is bringing back their 7th and 8th planks... Red is on their 6th.

Camera pans to Orange dragging their final 2 pieces onto the beach.

PG: Orange has returned with their last planks. Now they'll be able to start stacking!

Holly: I'm so tired!

Paulie: We're almost there, just keep pushing!

Orange Team begins stacking their planks, as Green and Brown are just about on the beach.

PG: Stacking these will be all about spacing. There's a starting point where you must start stacking, and you have to get the stack to hit your bell. So you can't space them so close... but you need to make sure they're close enough where they hit each other and fall like dominoes!

Holly: Paulie, that one is too far from that one!

Paulie: No, it's fine! Keep stacking!

Brown and Green drop their final planks. Camera pans to the water, Veronica gives Devyn their 9th plank, Grey is heading out for their final 2 planks, Red is heading out for their 7th, and Purple is coming back with their 6th.

PG: Huge lead for the 3 teams on the beach right now... but anything can happen!

Shows all three teams on the beach stacking.

Jasmine: Wyatt, help me move this one... it needs to be a little further!

Micah: Tori, do you think this is good?

Tori: It should be a little closer!

Paulie: Holly get ready! This is out final plank!

PG: Orange just put their final plank up! If they stacked it correctly, they are going to win!

Camera shows Paulie stacking the final plank, then running back to the first plank with Holly.

Holly: GO!

Both Paulie and Holly tip the first plank.

Paulie: Yes! We win!

Camera shows the planks falling, then the 6th plank is shown being too far from the 7th to knock over.

PG: Oh! So close, but they're going to have to restack!

Holly: d**nit, that's the one I said was too far Paulie!

Jasmine: Wyatt, once you stack that one get back up here! We're ready!

PG: Green Team is putting up their final plank... they're almost ready to give it a try.

Wyatt puts the final plank up and runs back to Jasmine. They both push their stack together.

Jasmine: I think we've got this.

Shows Green teams planks falling. Shows the 4th plank being too far from the 5th.

PG: And Green Team's didn't make it! They're going to have to restack, but they have less to restack than Orange!

Paulie: We cannot let them win!

Shows both Orange and Green quickly restacking, as Brown is about to be finished their first stacking attempt.

Micah: Let's do it!

Brown takes a moment to examine their stack.

Tori: I think this will work!

PG: Blue team is dragging their final piece onto the beach to begin stacking. But if Brown has this right, it won't matter.

Micah and Tori push their plank and watch as all the planks hit each other perfectly, and hits their bell. They scream and hug.

Tori: We did it!

Micah: Good work!

Holly: Good job you guys.

PG: Just like that, Brown Team wins it! Everybody, swim on back in!

Camera fast forwards to all the teams in front of PG.

PG: That was a very good effort from everybody today! I'm proud of all of you... but Brown Team, you pulled it out and won!

Brown Team smiles as everybody else claps for them.

PG: You are now tied with the Green Team with 2 pyramid pieces... one behind Orange.

Camera shows Jacob smiling.

Jacob: If we weren't going to win this mission, I'm sure happy it was Tori. She's the one I'm closest to out here, and it's just good to know nothing bad is going to be coming my way yet.

PG: You also have a huge decision to make. You'll have the afternoon to figure out who you want to give the samadhi too, and if you want to send yourself... or any other team to the Island's End. I'll see you later on for your decision!

Camera pans to the 7 teams walking back down the beach. Zooms in on Brown smiling as some teams hug them. Back at camp, Jacob and Tori immediately run off.

Jacob: I am so proud of you guys! Nice to see you win.

Tori: Thank you! In case it wasn't obvious, I'm not giving you guys the samadhi.

Jacob: Aw I could kiss you right now-

Both awkwardly stare at each other.

Jacob: I mean.. you know... because you're not... giving me the samadhi...

Tori: Don't worry, I just... didn't expect that Laughs awkwardly

Tori: There's definitely something brewing between us... but I will never admit that to anybody out here! I'm 13, and he's 15... that's a pretty big deal in teenage years. I just enjoy hanging out with him... anything else that happens... meh.

Camera pans to Dominic and Micah talking.

Dominic: I know we haven't talked too much... but I just want you to know, we are not coming after you guys at all.

Micah: I never thought you were. Dominic, you have nothing to worry about...

Dominic: Thanks man, I appreciate that.

Dominic: I don't know why, but all of a sudden my nerves are at an all time high. We kind of expected to just slide under the radar, but Brown... I just get a wildcard vibe from them. And I have no idea who they would give the samadhi to.

Camera shows Purple and Green on the beach.

Nolan: I have no idea what Brown is going to do...

Wyatt: Well it's pretty obvious they won't give it to Red.

Jasmine: That's a given. They probably also wont give it to Blue, they seem close.

Wyatt: If they're smart, they'd give it to Orange... but I feel like they wont.

Wyatt: I mean, it's not AS BAD as Orange winning... but Brown is extreme wildcards, there's no telling where they're going to go. They kept Orange safe in the last Endurance Mission, so something tells me the samadhi is going to be coming to either us or Purple.

Camera shows Orange and Brown talking in the treehouse.

Paulie: Green is never going to win anything... so Purple is the best bet.

Holly: Sweet justice for them giving us the samadhi last time.

Micah: That would probably be the smartest, they're the biggest threat.

Micah Orange just automatically assumes we are going to give the samadhi to one of THEIR enemies. There's a lot more to think about though... why are we going to put a target on our back and have these two teams against us?

Wyatt and Micah walking on the beach.

Wyatt: I know we've never been on the same page yet... especially when it comes to the Orange team...

Micah: See, this is exactly what I didn't want. We make one decision in a mission, and it felt like every team turned on us from there on! And now that we're in power, everyone suddenly likes us.

Wyatt: Well, I'm not going to lie... I see why you think that. It's just... with how terrible Orange has been to all of us, it just felt like you were turning on us.

Micah: It wasn't us turning against you... it was us saving our butts and not having Orange against us for no reason.

Wyatt: And I see that now... look I just want to start on a clean slate with you. If you don't give us the samadhi, we'll owe you one.

Micah: I'll keep that in mind. And Purple?

Wyatt: Well obviously I'd rather you not give it to Purple either... but just please, not us.

Wyatt: I'm definitely not throwing my friends under the bus... but I am more focused on making sure I don't get that samadhi. I also did throw in the "please also save Purple", but I don't know... they seem pretty tied to doing what Orange wants them to do, and thats frustrating.

Brown team in the hammocks talking.

Tori: This is a lot harder than I was expecting.

Micah: Yeah, especially with every team in our ear telling us what they want us to do...

Tori: I think our best play it to give it to the team with the least ties out here...

Micah: Well if we want to go that route... Orange doesn't have ties.

Tori: I am not doing that. Then they overcome the samadhi again and send us to Temple? I don't think so.

Micah: Well who else doesn't have ties.... Green and Purple are together. We are with Blue and Red...

Tori: Well who does that leave?

Micah: d**nit, I told them we wouldn't give it to them.

Tori: See that's our problem... we told EVERYONE we wouldn't give it to them.

Tori: Playing in the middle is actually super difficult. No matter who we give it to we are going to piss somebody off. Even if we give it to Grey, Orange is going to be pissed with didn't give it to Purple... and Purple and Green will be pissed we didn't give it to Orange. There's no winning.

Camera shows the 7 teams walking to the Circle of Decision, and everyone taking seats on their logs in front of PG.

PG: Welcome back to the Circle of Decisions. Brown Team, you've got a whole lot of power today... I'm sure you were quite popular back at camp.

Micah: A little too popular PG...

PG: I'll bet! Well, with great power comes great responsibility... You have a samadhi to give away. Brown Team, who have you decided to give the samadhi to, and why?

Tori: It was actually a really tough decision.. but after discussing, and going back and forth... we figured the best decision is to give it to the Grey Team!

Camera shows Grey Team looking shocked, and Orange team looking mad.

Dominic: You gave me your word...

Micah: I'm sorry man... this was a really hard decision.

Paulie: A waste of a decision if you ask me.

Wyatt: Nobody asked you.

PG: Alright Grey Team, you have received the samadhi. Step on up, crack it open... and let's find out what your disadvantage is going to be.

Dominic and Isabella walk over to PG, Dominic takes the samadhi and cracks it open on a rock. A note falls out.

Dominic: It says 20lbs.

PG: Whatever the mission is tomorrow, you will have 20lbs extra on your team... it's going to make it difficult, but as Orange showed last time... not impossible. For now, have a seat.

Grey sits back down on their log.

PG: Now back over to you Brown... Will you be sending yourselves to the Island's End, or another team?

Tori: Well considering how powerful the advantage was last time, we are sending ourselves.

PG: Fair choice! Alright, here's a map to the Island's End. You will have a decision to make over there... everybody else, return to camp and I'll see you at the next Temple Mission!

Camera pans to 6 teams walking one way towards camp, as Brown walks the opposite way towards the Island's End.

Micah: I still don't feel the best about that decision...

Tori: I don't either, but I think it was the best decision we could make.

Micah: Let's just hope this advantage will be worth it!

Micah and Tori approach the podium at the Island's End. Micah immediately picks up the note and starts reading it.

Micah: "Welcome to The Islands End. As you know, you are being tempted with an advantage. But it will cost you. The advantage is the power to send one team to the Temple of Fate even if you don't win the temple mission. If you choose to use this advantage, the temple mission winner will choose one team to go the Temple, and you will choose their opponent. This does NOT make you immune from temple. This advantage expires when there are 4 teams left in the game".

Tori: That's pretty crazy... so if we get sent to temple theoretically, we could choose our opponents.

Micah: Or if anyone pisses us off, we can send them no matter what.

Tori: What's the catch?

Micah: "In order to gain this extraordinary power in the game, it comes at a cost. You will need to give up two pyramid pieces in order to buy this advantage."

Tori: That's everything we have...

Micah: But remember, they'll be up for grabs in the next temple mission... so we could just win them back. We just need to decide if this is a reward that's worth the risk of losing them.

Micah: This is a crazy power. We don't really have any enemies in the game at the moment, but I guarantee you at some point we will... and that's when this will come in handy. On the other hand, it could just make us a bigger target.

Tori: Wow... I'm so torn, I have no idea what we should do.

First, I'm surprised Purple gave up two pieces so quickly in the game! Second, DANG WILLOW FUMBLED THAT BAG! I was so surprised she told Orange. Well, she is only 12... But, Orange played their cards totally correctly in forcing them to give up their token, as much of a sheisty move that was. I liked Yellow, but they were a little inconsequential so I'm fine with them leaving, and I do like Green better too. VERONICA >>>
--
Holly is really a mastermind. Like Sabrina, Nicole, Leslie, Dakota, who? She is so good at manipulating who she needs to, even if she and Paulie have pissed everyone off.
Again queen Veronica >>
And Gray is growing on me too!
I really like this domino stacking mission. It's very creative! Orange is a freaking powerhouse in the missions! Holly is Lilly and Erika level good.
If I was Brown I wouldn't take this advantage.

I feel like Purple thought the same way I would've thought. There are still 8 teams in the game, and the pieces really don't come into play until there are 2 teams... so they wont even matter if you don't make it to that point lol. I dunno though, it definitely would add a whole new element to the game I think. But yeah, as much as people probably hate Orange, they played that very well aha.
--
And yeah, a strategic mastermind but no tact haha... and especially no tact from her partner.
So Holly is basically a powerhouse and strategic mastermind in your head? The perfect girl ever created? hahaha
And we shall see what they decide to do. Will be interesting!
