Episode 6: The Common Enemy

Camera pans to the Island's End, as Brown Team stands in front of the podium.

Micah: Ok, let's think through this very carefully... if we take the advantage, we can send any team we want.

Tori: But that doesn't guarantee they go home...

Micah: We saw what happened with Yellow and Green though... they got split up by being sent together. We could use this to make sure we don't get sent up with Blue.

Tori: Or red...

Micah: Yes Tori, or Red.

Micah: On a first read, you would think this advantage is nowhere near as good as that immunity token that Purple got... But when you actually think through it all, and take into account that Yellow and Green got broken up because they got sent to temple together, we can use this in a way to make sure we never go up against our allies. Or you know, if someone pisses us off enough, haha up you go!

Camera pans to Brown Team walking back to camp. As they pass the piece poles, camera zooms in to show theirs empty.

Skye: Their pole is empty!

Veronica: Looks like they took an advantage.

Most teams walk over to the Brown Team to hug them. Grey stays behind.

Isabella: I still can't believe they gave us the samadhi...

Dominic: And we thought we were flying under the radar Forced laugh

Isabella: We'll just have to fight hard to overcome the samadhi... seems like we actually need to start trying to win.

Isabella: We've been laying low so far just trying to stay out of the cross-waves of conflict everybody has... but clearly that didn't work so well for us. Here we are, with a samadhi to overcome, and I'm not too happy with Brown Team right now.

Orange Team immediately pulls Brown Team aside.

Paulie: First things first... Grey? Really?

Holly: You know you should have given it to Green!

Micah: Guess we made a bit of a mistake... sorry.

Micah: We're not sorry... not one bit. If you wanted to give Green the samadhi, you should have won the mission yourself! I'm getting really tired of my supposed allies trying to control our decisions.

Paulie: As long as you know that you messed up...

Holly: Anyways, enough about that. What advantage did you guys get?

Tori: We pretty much can send a team to temple anytime from now to the final 4, even if we don't win the temple mission.

Holly: Whoa, that's a pretty good one.

Paulie: And that one you better use on the Green Team.

Tori: Oh... of course.

Tori: I knew this was going to happen. We gave it to Grey because they have the least ties, yet people are still going to be mad at us because we didn't give it to their sworn enemies. But... I don't care too much. You can't bully me into doing your dirty work. Sorry, not sorry.

Camera pans to Purple and Green in the treehouse.

Wyatt: I guess we're just going to be sitting here wondering what their advantage is.

Nolan: No way they're going to be telling us what it is.

Willow: Oh don't be so sure... I have a way to find out.

Jasmine: How do you expect to do that?

Willow: Well... Tori is obviously going to tell Jacob, who's going to tell Skye, who's going to tell me. And obviously I'm going to tell you.

Jasmine: Laughing Sounds like one crazy game of telephone.

Jasmine: So far it's been working to our advantage that Willow has ties to the younger girls in the game. But honestly, it worries me a little bit in the long run. Purple has pretty much everyone on their side, but we only really have Purple. So if it comes down to it, people will come after us before them.

Camera shows Tori and Jacob in the hammocks, as Skye sits right beside.

Skye: That is crazy! Could change everything!

Jacob: What do you guys plan to do with it?

Tori: Honestly, we have no idea. It's just a good safety net to have. I'm sure things are going to get crazy.

Skye: As if they weren't crazy already!

Skye: Jacob getting close to Tori has been really good for us. We get some good inside information that we wouldn't have gotten otherwise, and plus they're not going after us which is already nice.

Camera pans to Willow talking to Skye on the beach.

Willow: I'm sure you know what the advantage is?

Skye: Yeah, it's a good one!

Willow: Would you... you know, be able to tell me?

Skye: I don't know... I feel like that's something for them to reveal if they want.

Willow: That's fair, but I've been with you since day 1!

Skye: True. Alright, well they pretty much get to send a team up to temple even if they don't win.

Willow: Whoa, that is a pretty good one... as long as Orange doesn't somehow get them to waste it like we did Giggles.

Willow: So I found out what the advantage was... but the hesitation that Skye showed me, it worries me. I know she's just trying to be an honest person and not reveal secrets, but you would think she would tell me... we are friends after all!

Camera shows the sun setting, then rising again. The 7 teams are seen walking onto the beach and meeting in front of PG.

PG: Hello everybody! Welcome to your second temple mission. Today's mission is called Out on a Limb, and here's how it works. One of your teammates will be out over the water, standing on top of a platform. The other teammate will be here on the beach with me, holding onto a rope. Now that rope is the only thing keeping your partner from falling into the cold water, so if I were you... I'd hold on as long as possible. If you drop the drop, your partner falls, and you are out of the mission. Last team standing wins the Temple Mission and will get to send 2 teams to the Temple of Fate... and they will also receive the Heart and Ingenuity piece that Brown gave up at the Island's End.

Camera pans to the Brown Team smiling.

PG: Grey Team, you got the samadhi... whoever is standing on the platform will have a 20lb weight strapped to them, making it that much harder for the rope holder to hold it up. Everybody get into position, and we will begin!

Camera shows all the guys, except for Devyn holding the ropes. Veronica is instead holding for the Blue Team.

PG: Every team has chosen to put their guy's as the rope holder... except for Blue Team! 

Veronica: Girl power!

PG: Girl power indeed. Everybody is in position, and this mission has officially begun!

Camera shows the girls and Devyn standing on the platforms.

Isabella: You got this Dominic! Stand strong... what's an extra 20lbs?

Dominic: I will not let you fall!

Jasmine: You better not drop me Wyatt. I do not want to get my hair wet today!

Skye: That's what you're worried about?

Jasmine: Laughing Yeah, it's looking fresh today!

Skye: Cold showers seem to be doing wonders for you.

They both laugh.

Jacob: Nice to see you both having a good old time up there!

Skye: Oh sorry... GO JACOB! YOU CAN DO IT!

Tori: I know I'm going to regret saying this... but Jacob looks so good holding that rope. His muscles are showing and- oh god, it sounds like I'm in love. Giggles.

Holly: How are you doing Paulie?

Paulie: Don't worry about me... I can do this all day. You just make sure you don't slip off!

Holly: Oh trust me... I think I'll be okay. Rolls eyes.

PG: You guys have been holding on for 2 minutes now... everybody looking strong.

Devyn: Yeah Veronica! You got this!

Devyn: Veronica and I are pretty much on the same strength level, so yeah... why not let her show up some of these guys today? Proud of her.

Camera shows Willow's platform starting to move up and down as Nolan struggles.

Willow: You got this Nolan! Just push through the pain.

Nolan: Ah! My hand's keep slipping... Let's out a scream of agony.

PG: Purple Team is the first team showing signs of struggle out here...

Camera shows Nolan's rope slipping from his fingers, as Willow drops into the water.

PG: Oh! And just like that, Purple is the first team out of the mission. Grab a spot on the bench.

Paulie: Karma!

Wyatt: Oh knock it off with the whole karma thing...

Nolan: We knew that this mission was going to be a struggle for us today... I mean I've said it before, I'm definitely one of the weakest guys out here.
Willow: We kick butt in the endurance based challenges, or strategic competitions... strength just isn't our thing.
Nolan: Is what it is, I'm not losing any sleep over it. 
Willow: We're just hoping Green Team can pull this out today.

Camera pans to the rope holders.

Dominic: Isabella, this is really starting to hurt!

Isabella: Just do your best Dom! I'm proud of you.

PG: The samadhi is proving to be a lot for the Grey team...

Dominic: I'm sorry!

Dominic drops the rope, and Isabella screams as she drops into the water.

PG: And just like that, Grey Team is out. We are down to 5 teams!

Dominic: You're not... mad at me are you?
Isabella: What? Of course not! Dom, I'm so proud of you...
Dominic: Even if I'm a complete screw up...
Isabella: Stop that! I couldn't asked for a better partner!

Camera shows Holly move up and down as Paulie adjusts.

Holly: You better not drop me!

Paulie: Relax, I'm just adjusting.

Camera pans to Jacob who has a pained look on his face.

Skye: Jacob, are you okay?

Jacob: My legs are cramping up like crazy!

Skye: Just drop me, it's okay!

Jacob lets go of the rope, Skye falls in the water and Jacob immediately begins trying to shake off his legs.

Jacob: I'm strong as heck, I work out all the time... but only so much you can do when leg cramps hit.
Skye: All good brother, you're still my hero.
Jacob: Aw thanks Kisses Skye on forehead.

PG: Red Team has dropped, leaving us with the final 4 teams... Orange, Green, Brown and Blue!

Micah: Having fun hanging out with the guys?

Veronica: Just another day at the office! Laughs. You guys know I'm about to kick your butts.

Wyatt: Oh, confidence. I like it!

Paulie: Or just delusional.

Veronica: I'm about to make you eat those words.

Camera shows time passing.

PG: You have all been hanging in there for 20 minutes now! All 4 of you are looking strong.

Wyatt: There is no way I'm dropping. I'm left there with two teams who have shown they are not with us, and Blue Team... who let's be honest, no one really knows who they're with... but it seems like they might be with Brown and Orange. Either way... I need to win this.

Tori: Keep it up Micah, you're doing great. Let's get our pieces back!

Out of nowhere, Holly screams as she falls. Shows Wyatt with a big smile.

Paulie: d**nit!

PG: And out of nowhere, Paulie drops Holly... Orange Team is out!

Holly: "Don't worry" he says. "I can do this all day" he says.
Paulie: I don't even know what happened... the rope just... slipped I guess.
Holly: So much for us winning two temple mission's in a row.

Micah: Can we please make some sort of deal?

Wyatt: Well you both know where my heads at. I want Orange out of here.

Veronica: I promise I wont send either of you up to Temple!

Micah: Deal!

Micah drops without warning, as Tori drops to the water and screams.

PG: And just like that, Brown Team is out. We are down to two.

Tori: d**nit I cannot believe you made a deal with them without asking me.
Micah: Relax Tori... we aren't going to temple. Just more allies on our side.
Tori: Yeah but now we just lost out on our pyramid pieces!
Micah: Crap, I totally forgot about those.

Holly: This is not good for us...

Paulie: Come on Veronica! You got this!

Wyatt: You won't send us?

Veronica: No. I promise!

Wyatt: And you'll keep Purple safe?

Veronica: We aren't going after you guys!

Wyatt: And you'll send up Orange?

Veronica: Dude you're asking for a lot.

Wyatt: Well then it looks like I'm not letting go.

Veronica: That's fine... because I'm not either.

Camera shows a time lapse, as Devyn and Jasmine continue standing on their platforms, and Veronica and Wyatt continue holding their ropes.

PG: It has now been one hour... you guys are a couple of beasts!

Wyatt: Okay, forget about Orange... just keep Purple and us safe?

Veronica: Devyn, what do you think?

Devyn: Whatever you want. This is your mission!

Veronica: Fine.

Wyatt: Promise?

Veronica: I already told you we aren't going after you guys. Either trust me or not, but I'm not letting go.

Wyatt: Okay, I'm putting my trust in you.

Wyatt hesitates, but then drops the rope. Jasmine falls.

Wyatt: I'm scared that was not a good move... but she looked like she has another 30 minutes in her. I was close to dropping anyways.
Jasmine: Well yeah, if you were going to drop before her anyways, might as well get a deal out of it.
Wyatt: Hopefully they stick to their end of the deal.
Jasmine: Who knows, maybe we can even convince them to send up Orange.

PG: And just like that, the mission is over! Blue Team wins!

Devyn: YEAH! WAY TO-

Veronica drops the rope, and stands up to celebrate.

Veronica: Whoops. Sorry Devyn!

Devyn: I am so proud of you. Although I didn't doubt you for a second.
Veronica: Who says the guys are going to have all the fun out here? I proved that us girls can hold our own...
Devyn: I don't think any of the other girls could have done that, you're a beast.

Camera shows all 7 teams assembled in front of PG.

PG: That was a crazy mission. Veronica, you proved one for the girls out here.

Veronica: I said it once, and I'll say it again... Girl power!

PG: You guys not only have the decision of sending two teams up to the Temple of Fate, but you will inherit the pieces that Brown left behind at the Island's End... tying you with Orange for the lead in this game!

Everybody claps.

PG: It's going to be an interesting afternoon for all of you. I'll see you in a few hours at the circle of decision to get your choice!

Camera shows the 7 teams walking back towards camp. Immediately Brown and Blue run off.

Tori: Oh my god I am so happy for you guys! Squeals and hugs Veronica.

Veronica: You guys were right there too. We both did great.

Micah: Speaking of which... what if you guys give us the pyramid pieces?

Devyn: Uh... what?

Micah: Well like... they were ours in the first place. You wouldn't have even won them if we didn't take the advantage.

Tori: Elbowing Micah on the side. He's just... playing around.

Tori: If I'm learning anything about Micah out here, it's that he doesn't really know how to properly talk to other people. I mean when he does it to me, I just shrug it off, because hey... that's my brother. But if he starts doing this to the other teams it's like hey... that's a one way ticket to temple.

Micah: Ok let's compromise, how about just 1 piece?

Tori: MICAH!

Micah: Okay, okay... I get it.

Tori: Anyways... what's the plan?

Veronica: Well I think it's time to take the shot at Orange...

Micah: Oooo they're going to be so mad at you.

Devyn: Well... somebody's got to do it.

Tori: Not that I'm totally against that plan... but don't you think it might be smarter to keep them around and make them an easy target for somebody else to send to Temple?

Veronica: Look, I know you guys have your little understanding with them... but I promised Green and Purple I wouldn't send them.

Devyn: So if you want to narrow Orange out... it looks like we're sending your boo-thang up.

Tori: He is not my boo-thang! But... yeah... I'd rather he- er... Red not go up.

Devyn: Well then unless you're taking the bullet, Orange and Grey are the only options.

Micah: Whoa, whoa... what do you mean take the bullet? You seriously would think about sending us?

Devyn: Relax bro... I was just joking around. We got you.

Devyn: I'm just going to be straight up honest right now, the only thing keeping us tied to this alliance is Tori. Those two are just total opposites. Like after the Endurance Mission where we took Orange out... Micah was just ruthlessly coming after us, and Tori had to be the one to keep the peace. So yeah Micah, you're lucky you're tied to her.

Camera shows Devyn and Paulie walking on the beach.

Paulie: The look on their face when we break up Green and Purple... it's going to be priceless! First they lose Yellow... and now they will lose their final alliance.

Devyn: Did you not hear Veronica make a deal at the mission...? We're not sending them.

Paulie: Wha-what? You guys couldn't have been serious about that. You're actually sticking to that deal?

Devyn: Yeah dude... our word kind of means something out here. We aren't going to break that trust.

Paulie: Well my word means something too... and I gave my word that I would take them out.

Devyn: That's nice... well maybe you should have won today so you could do that.

Devyn: God, I am so sick of this guy. Always in my ear yipping at me telling me what I HAVE to do because he's my master, and I have to do everything he says. I hope he goes home tonight... I am so hoping!

Paulie: So you're really going to waste this power on Grey and Red? Neither of them are threats... and plus Tori's going to be pissed.

Devyn: Who said anything about sending Red?

Paulie: Wow, so you're going to send Brown... your closet allies? For some stupid deal that you stupidly made at the mission?

Devyn: Once again... jumping to conclusions. Not sending Brown.

Paulie: What? So... if you can't send Green and Purple over that stupid deal. Not sending Red because of Tori, and not sending Brown because of your alliance. Stops walking once he realizes. Yo, no way dude. You owe us... you can't do this!

Paulie: I swear if this guy makes an idiot move, and send us up to temple... we are coming back full guns blazing. You are such an idiot! Seriously? After everything we've done for you out here. You better not pull this crap on me. Heavy breathing.

Devyn: I owe you for what exactly?

Paulie: I could have taken you out of this game! I could have sent you to temple last time. I saved you...

Devyn: As if you were ever going to send anybody other than Yellow, Green or Purple.

Paulie: You have me your word... you said you would work with us and Brown if we saved you!

Devyn: Oh did I? Hmm.. must have just been one of those... what did you call it? Oh yeah... stupid deals.

Paulie: You are seriously a moron if you think you're going to do this, and not have us come back after you.

Devyn: Okay look, it's time for a reality check. You've been nothing but nasty to everyone the moment you stepped on this beach. You've threatened everyone to get your way, you belittled everyone by making us seem less superior than you, and you've been nothing but bullies... so quite frankly, I don't give a crap if you come after us. That's if you even come back.

Paulie: How dare you... And trust me... we will come back, and we will personally take you out of this game.

Devyn: I'd love to see you try!

Devyn storms off.

Devyn: I NEVER let myself get that worked up... EVER! But that guy has had it coming since DAY ONE! And it's about time somebody's told him how nasty of a human being he is. Who knows if it's going to change anything. I feel like people like that are never going to change. I swear there is some sort of evil spirit inside those twins... but Paulie definitely has it 10 times stronger.

Camera shows everybody getting ready to meet PG at the Circle of Decisions. Holly pulls Tori aside.

Holly: You guys have to use your advantage tonight...

Tori: What... why?

Holly: They're sending us to temple tonight...

Tori: Well it will make no difference... all we can do with our advantage is send one other team. They're still going to pick you.

Holly: Yeah, but if you use your advantage we can go against Green and take them out!

Tori: Or... you guys will go home, and yet another advantage will go to waste.

Holly: You have no faith in us... we will take them out. Use it!

Tori: In true Orange style, Holly pulls me aside right before we are going to meet PG and she's telling me I HAVE TO use our advantage so they can go against Green. And the best part? She promises me the advantage will not go to waste because they will definitely send home. Yeah... because you know for certain you have the upper hands in Rock, Paper, Scissors right?

Camera shows all 7 teams walking to the Circle of Decisions, and all taking spots on the logs in front of PG.

PG: Welcome back to the Circle of Decisions everybody. Today's one of those dreaded days in the game... but it has to happen. Two teams will be making the long trek up to the Temple of Fate, but only one team will be returning. Blue Team, have you guys made your decision?

Veronica: Yes, we decided-

Holly: Wait hold up. Tori has something she wants to say...

Tori looks awkward as she stays silent.

Holly: Well speak up Tori... don't you have something you want to play?

Tori doesn't say a word as everyone is staring her down.

PG: Well Tori... do you have something?

Tori: Uh... no I'm alright.

Holly: You little snake!

Paulie: Welcome to our hit list...

Wyatt: Population: Every team out here. I wouldn't worry if I were you Tori.

Veronica: Anyways, before I was rudely interrupted... We are going to be sending Orange and Grey.

Orange Team looks angry, as Grey Team both begin to tear up.

Devyn: Now please do us all a favour Grey... and take them the heck out of this game!

Dominic: Fighting tears. We'll... we'll try!

PG: Alright, and just like that... Orange and Grey, you both will be heading up to the Temple of Fate at nightfall. Only one of you will be coming back, so make sure you say your goodbyes. I'll see you at the Temple of Fate!

Dominic: Crying I thought we were doing so well out here! I don't know how we suddenly became the enemies... Samadhi and now Temple? Everybody hates us! I don't know why...

Paulie: Big mistake... You really think Grey Team is going to beat us tonight? We are coming back, and congratulations Blue and Brown, you've just taken the top spots on our lists!

Camera shows everybody walking back to camp. Instantly pans to Green and Purple.

Jasmine: I cannot believe we just pulled that off...

Nolan: Yeah, I definitely expected at least one of us to be going up tonight!

Wyatt: Good to know Blue's good on their word... we really do owe them one.

Wyatt: Holy the look on Orange's face tonight... priceless! Their slowly realizing they don't have control over anybody, and they're pissed! Sending all the good vibes over to Grey tonight, and please please please let Orange go home... see you never!

Camera shows Dominic and Isabella in the treehouse packing, as Dominic is crying.

Dominic: I just... hate to feel like we are bad people. Like... people don't like us!

Isabella: I don't think it's that at all...

Dominic: Then why? Why would they send us? And why would Brown give us the samadhi?

Veronica walks in.

Veronica: Hey, is it okay for me to be here?

Isabella: Can we just ask... why you sent us?

Veronica: Look, it really is nothing personal... we just never really had a connection with you guys.

Dominic: So... so you don't hate us like you hate Orange?

Veronica: What? Heck no! You guys seem sweet, but I think you guys really just kept your distance from everyone...

Isabella: Yeah... I guess that was kind of our strategy... stay out of the crosshairs.

Veronica: I get that. But... not going to lie, you sort of just made it easy. No one really has any connections with you.

Dominic: Alright, that's fair... thanks for letting us know.

Isabella: I hate to be in this position. Going to Temple because our strategy of playing under the radar backfired on us. Now Dominic is upset, and I'm trying to calm him down before Temple... this is just a mess.

Camera shows Tori on the hammock as Paulie and Holly walk over to here.

Holly: I hope you're aware you just ended your game!

Tori: You guys were going up anyways! Why does this even matter?

Holly: I told you exactly why! Now instead of our victory actually meaning something... all it means is we send the weak Grey Team home! THANKS TO YOU!

Tori: You guys seriously underestimate people out here... and it's all luck based. What makes you think you have an upper hand?

Paulie: Seriously? You think they have a chance? When we come back, we're coming for you!

Holly: You are going to regret this!

Micah notices the argument and runs over.

Micah: What are you guys doing? Two against one? You think you're all powerful?

Paulie: Back off... we were just having a conversation.

Micah: Looks like some more bullying to me... you're good at that!

Holly: What you call bullying is actually us just calling you our for what you are... supposed to be our alliance, and you pull this?

Micah: Why don't you guys go pack your things, and get ready for your temple.

Paulie: We don't have to get ready... we are beating them.

Holly: So why don't you guys pack your things so they're ready for when we come back and take you out?

Orange storms off.

Tori: Thanks... they were pretty vicious.

Micah: No worries, I got your back. Hugs Tori.

Micah: We might have our differences, but at the end of the day.. I'm looking out for my sister. There's no reason two people should be ganging up on here... especially not those two. Just goes to show you what type of people they are. God, I hope they go home tonight.

Camera shows the sun starting to set as everyone is outside the treehouses saying goodbye. Orange is standing by themselves as everyone is standing around Grey, hugging them.

Jacob: You guys got this!

Jasmine: Yes, please take them out!

Willow: If for some reason you don't come back... I'll miss you.

Devyn: Hey, no negative attitudes! You guys will come back.. you have to!

Dominic: Well... that's a lot of pressure.

Camera shows Orange and Grey walking off into the sunset.

Isabella: Goodbye everybody!

Paulie: See you losers in an hour!

Camera shows both teams walking into the Temple of Fate and standing behind their podiums.

PG: Orange Team, Grey Team... Welcome to the Temple of Fate! One of you is about to fall victim to the elements, well the other team is heading back to camp. 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 fourth team eliminated from Endurance Bloodlines. Everybody understand?

Both Teams Nod.

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

Dominic: What do you think?

Isabella: I'm leaning towards Fire?

Dominic: Awesome, that's what I was thinking!

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: Orange Team, you selected Water, while Grey Team selected Fire. Water puts the Fire out, Orange Team, that's one point for you.

Paulie: To no one's surprise...

PG: One more point, and you're headed back. Grey, you need this one to stay alive. Go ahead and choose your next element.

Dominic: I'm so nervous...

Isabella: It's ok, we got this.

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

PG: Alright, once again... may the elements please rise!

The elements rise, revealing both teams choices.

PG: Orange Team, once against you selected Water... and Grey Team, once again you picked Fire. Water still puts out the Fire, but this time... Orange, you are the winners!

Holly: Just as we expected!

Isabella: Show a little class please...

Holly: Speak to me when you've won something in life.

Isabella hugs and consoles a sobbing Dominic.

Dominic: I'm sorry...

Isabella: Don't be sorry, this is not your fault!

PG: Grey Team, you played a great game... but sadly, your time here is over. Please grab your stuff and head to the fire put. It's time for you to go.

Shows Dominic and Isabella walking over to the fire pit and standing behind it.

Dominic: It's great that we got to do this adventure together... I love you so much Bella, you got me through so much out here.
Isabella: Aw, I love you too Dom. Couldn't have asked for a better brother.
Dominic: Hey, at least we didn't fall into the Grey Team curse... we survived one round extra! We accomplished something!
Isabella: Giggling Don't tell Orange that. Imagine that... them finding out other people can accomplish things other than them?
Both Laugh.

Dominic and Isabella fade behind the fire.

Paulie: See you losers!

PG: Orange Team, congratulations on winning tonights Temple of Fate! Head back to camp and join the others!

Holly: They're going to be so happy to see us!

PG laughs. Camera then pans to the two shadows of the Orange Team appearing in the distance coming towards camp.

Wyatt: Please be Grey, please be Grey, please be Grey!

Veronica: Who is it?

Holly: Your worst nightmare!

Tori: Oh no... it's Orange.

Wyatt: You've got to be kidding me. Well... I'm not waiting for them to get over here.

Jacob: I'm with you on that... time for bed?

Willow: Let's do it.

Camera shows the 6 teams all heading into the treehouse before Orange even reaches the camp.

Devyn: Goodnight everyone! Lights in the treehouse turn off.

VERONICA QUEEN!!!! ERIKA WHO???
Paulie is LITERALLY Paulie from the Challenge like literal deranged. And I'm sorry but Holly's "Speak to me when you've won something in life." is SENDING ME.
The web of alliances is so crazy! Orange didn't have many bridges to start with but they've now burned them all so it'll be...... interesting to see how things shake down from here.

[Pgcool™]

Episode 7: Shaking Things Up

Camera shows Willow and Skye walking down the beach.

Skye: You know, I kind of feel bad for Grey...

Willow: Me too... especially Isabella. She tried so hard to get to know us.

Skye: I guess the game just got in the way.

Skye: This game... it's so hard, and it makes me so sad to think that someone as nice as Isabella... tried her best to get to know Willow and I and be our friends. And we sort of just... turned her away in order to better our games. I mean... we weren't mean to her or anything like that. I just feel like we could have done a whole lot more to be her friend.

Camera pans to Nolan and Wyatt in the hammocks.

Nolan: I cannot believe they are still here...

Wyatt: They're like cockroaches... they keep coming back.

Nolan: At least now EVERYBODY is on the same page to take them out.

Wyatt: It's going to be a tough road for them, thats for sure.

Nolan: Can't say I feel bad.

Nolan: Right now it's pretty much one big force field against Orange. Every single team is against them, and they did it to themselves. As long as Orange doesn't win the mission, they are getting every single disadvantage for as long as they're still in the game... which hopefully will not be long.

Camera swaps to Tori and Jacob sitting by the water.

Jacob: Have they been bothering you at all since last night?

Tori: No, I think Micah really just scared them off.

Jacob: Yeah... no, that doesn't sound right.

Tori: You're right, that doesn't sound like them. They're up to something.

Jacob: Or who knows, maybe they've had a change of heart and are actually nice people now!

Tori and Jacob laugh uncontrollably as the camera switches to Orange in a private part of the beach doing yoga together.

Paulie: Now... downward dog.

Shows both Paulie and Holly doing downward dog pose, as camera shows both of their faces deep breathing.

Holly: We come from a very zen, yoga family. It helps us keep our cool. So we figured, why not continue that practice out here. Especially now... with every single team against us? Let's reset our minds, and come back full swinging.

Camera pans to PG walking over to the camp.

PG: Hey everyone! I need you to gather in front of the treehouses!

Camera shows everyone slowly emerging from their different spots, and sitting in front of the treehouses with PG.

PG: Hope everyone is doing well. Yesterday we had to say goodbye to the Grey Team. But they did leave a note behind... Veronica, would you like to read it?

Veronica: Oh gosh, make me feel guilty for sending them up why don't you PG?

PG passes the letter in a bottle to Veronica, who opens it and begins to read.

"Hey guys! Sad to be out this early, but it's been a whack of fun out there with all of you! We've gone through our ups and downs, but at the end of the day it's been an amazing experience.

Red Team, you guys are both very sweet and caring people. Never change.
Blue Team, no hard feelings. We get it. Wish we got to know you two better, but I'm sure we'll see each other outside of the game!
Green Team, you guys are great. I hope nobody underestimates you, because I can see you guys sliding on right through and winning this. Keep it up!
Purple Team, definitely the team we've gotten the closest to out there. You are definitely playing the best game right now, and if you continue... we know exactly where you'll be.
Brown Team, also no hard feelings to you guys. You guys may have been seen as the underdogs, but you're proving yourselves!
Orange Team, not much we can say that hasn't been said already. You've been nothing but bullies out there, and we hope something deep inside you changes... for your sake.

In the end it's been real! Wish we were still there, but it's a game. We played an under the radar game and it bit us in the butts. Tori and Jacob... we better have invites to the wedding! Purple Team, you guys are the top contenders in the game, and it's sad that you have no pieces to show for it. That's why we are leaving you our Luck piece to get you back on the board! Keep up the good work guys.

Love, Isabella and Dominic!"

Willow: Wow!

Nolan: Thank you Grey Team!

PG: And just like that, Purple, you're back on the board with the Luck piece! Still a lot to do to catch up to Orange and Blue, but it's a start! Today's going to be your third Endurance Mission. A Samadhi, a trip to the Islands End, and a pyramid piece will be up to grabs today... but let me just leave you with one thing to think about. Things are going to be quite different today... Think about that, and I'll see you later at the Endurance Mission!

Camera shows PG leaving as the 6 teams separate. Camera shows Blue and Brown talking.

Devyn: What do you think he means by things are going to be different?

Micah: Well I'm going to go right ahead and say that I think he means things are not going to be normal today.

Devyn: Rolls eyes Thanks Paulie.

Micah: Whoa, you did not just compare me to him!

Veronica: Well, you kind of have been acting like him lately.

Veronica: I don't know what it is with all these people thinking they can just talk to people however they want. Micah, although he's in my alliance, is kind of a jerk. It's sad to see him partnered up with someone like Tori, who is honestly one of the biggest sweethearts ever.

Micah: I am nothing like Paulie! Tell them Tori...

Tori: They have a point... you have been throwing out insults left and right.

Devyn: And trying to make us feel like we're less than you.

Veronica: The exact same thing that Orange has been criticized for doing to everyone else!

Micah: What? I- no.... I didn't- Forget it!

Micah storms out of the treehouse. Camera pans to a later scene of him on the beach crying.

Micah: I never realized that people thought I was being mean out here... and I can't believe I didn't see it for myself! I look at Paulie and Holly... and I'm disgusted by how they act to people. And now I'm being told that I'm doing the same thing? It hurts... and I'm disgusted by myself now.

Tori sees Micah crying, walks over and sits and puts her arm around him.

Micah: Am... am I really just this nasty person that everyone hates out here?

Tori: No! Micah stop that! They were just opening your eyes and letting you know how the felt!

Micah: I'm not... I'm not a mean person Tori. I try to look out for people.

Tori: I know. And you've proven that with me, and sticking up for me against Orange. But you just need to watch how you act around the others... especially Devyn. I know you two don't get along the greatest.

Micah: Something about him just rubs me the wrong way sometimes... that's all.

Tori: I get it, but either way... you need to realize they are our only alliance out here. You have to bite your tongue.

Tori: I've seen how great Micah can be as a person... but I've also seen how nasty he can be to others. If he can just tone that down, and bite his tongue a little bit... we have a great chance of getting far in this game. But if he keeps lashing out, and turning our allies against us... we are going to be out of here real soon.

Camera shows the remaining 6 teams walking onto the beach, and assembling in front of PG.

PG: Hello everybody! Let's get straight into your third Endurance Mission. Today's mission is called Fireball, and here's how it works. One partner will be out here on the beach with a large slingshot, while the other partner will be out in the water on a floating platform. When I say shoot, the partner on the beach will use the slingshot to try and shoot a ball to their partner. If you catch a ball, you are safe for that round and get to eliminate any team that didn't catch a ball. 

Wyatt: I think it's pretty clear who's not going to win this one.

Everybody laughs except for Paulie and Holly.

PG: Last team standing withs the commitment pyramid piece, as well as the samadhi and a trip to the Islands End. But as I said, things are going to be a little different this time around. Today, the samadhi will have something good in it that you want... while the Island's End is going to have an incredible disadvantage. So today, you want the samadhi, and you don't want to go to the Islands End!

Everyone looks shocked.

PG: If there are no questions, everybody get into position and we will begin!

Wyatt: Would you look at this... another targeting mission. And another chance to give Orange Team a wakeup call and make them realize why it actually pays to be nice to people out here. Oh, sweet sweet karma.

Paulie: Do I look worried? Not one bit. Sure, everyone's going to be targeting us. But as long as we catch every single ball, it wont matter. We'll be untouchable.

Camera shows some of the partners at the beach behind their slingshots, while the others are in the water.

PG: Alright, go ahead and launch your first ball!

Camera shows everyone launching their first balls. Pans to the water, where Holly catches her ball but everyone else misses.

Devyn: You've got to be kidding me.

Holly: Woohoo!

PG: Orange Team, you're the only team who caught a ball that round. You can eliminate any of the other teams... who's it going to be?

Paulie: Eenie, meanie, miney, Green Team.

Wyatt: Shocker...

Holly: We've got no shortage of enemies to pick from... and maybe we should go after Blue Team for sending us to Temple. But we've had a rivalry with Green since the beginning, so this is just sweet, sweet justice.

PG: Green Team, take a spot on the bench... we are down to 5 teams.

Camera shows Jasmine swimming in, and both her and Wyatt sitting on the bench.

PG: Alrighty, Round 2. Everybody go ahead and launch your ball!

Camera shows everyone on the beach launching. Pans to Micah grabbing his ball but it slipping out of his hand.

Micah: d**nit! So close!

Shows everyone else missing their balls.

PG: And it looks like this is a dead round... so we are moving straight onto the next round. Go ahead and launch your next balls!

Everyone on the beach launches. Camera shows Holly and Devyn both catching as everyone else misses.

Paulie: Yeah! That's my girl!

Holly: The yoga paid off!

Skye: What...? You guys do yoga?

PG: We've got a double hitter this round. Both teams are going to be knocking somebody out. Blue Team, we'll start with you.

Devyn: Well since we can't take out Orange... we're sorry, but we're just going to go for the Purple Team.

Nolan: Really dude?

Devyn: Sorry man, the options are limited.

Nolan: And just like that... in a mission that our alliance should flourish in, we are taken out in the first 2 rounds. d**nit! At least if any team other than Orange wins, we know we're safe... at least for this round.

PG: Orange Team?

Holly: Well, I'm not a huge fan of you calling us out like that Blue... but since we can't take you out, let's take out your little allies... Brown Team!

Micah: Predictable.

PG: Alright, Purple and Brown... you guys are done. Take a spot on the bench!

Micah and Willow both swim in, as they join their teammates and sit on the bench.

PG: And just like that, we are down to three teams! Red, Orange, and Blue... take your aim, and launch whenever.

Camera shows the ball landing in Holly's arm but slipping right through. Devyn's ball lands nowhere near his platform, and Skye misses hers.

PG: Another dead round... Grab another ball and go ahead and launch!

Camera shows Devyn catching his ball and jumping up and down. Skye misses hers, and Holly catches hers.

PG: Both Blue and Orange catch their balls!

Veronica: So what does that mean...?

PG: Because you guys can't eliminate each other, the only team that can be eliminated is Red. So by default, Red's out!

Camera shows Skye swimming in as her and Jacob join the other teams on the bench.

Jacob: How is this happening...?

Jacob: On paper, you hear "Fireball" and you think there's no way in heck that Orange could win this mission. But here they are dodging a bullet and catching every single ball and avoiding being eliminated. It makes me sick.

PG: Alright, if only one team catches the ball this round, it will be the final round! Go ahead and launch your balls.

Camera shows Veronica and Paulie launching, both Holly and Devyn catch.

PG: And both teams catch. That's considered another dead round... go ahead and launch again when you're ready!

Micah: Come on Blue! You guys got this!

Both teams launch, and once again both Holly and Devyn catch.

PG: Very even match left over here... another dead round. Go ahead and launch again!

Camera shows Veronica and Paulie both launching. Holly catches her ball with ease. Devyn catches his, but it slips out of his hands.

Holly: YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!

Paulie: That's how we roll!

Camera shows Wyatt rolling his eyes as everyone on the bench looks nervous and shocked.

PG: And just like that, this mission is over. Orange Team! You guys are the winners!

Camera shows Holly and Devyn swimming in, as all 6 teams assemble in front of PG.

PG: Congratulations Orange Team. Dare I say you beat the odds, and came out on top!

Holly: Oh we must certainly did PG!

PG: Not only do you get the Commitment Piece, which now gives you the lead in this game with 4 pieces... But you've won the power to send one team to the Island's End... where this time a major disadvantage awaits!

Jasmine: Great...

PG: You also win the samadhi. And I told you, this samadhi would have something good in it. So... why don't you guys come up here and open it right now.

Camera shows Holly and Paulie walking over to PG, Paulie takes the samadhi and smashes it on the rock. He picks up the paper.

Paulie: I don't get it... there's 6 people on one side with a line in the middle, and another 6 people on the other side.

PG: That's because tomorrow's temple mission is going to be the Superteam Mission... and you guys have won the power to choose the superteams!

Holly: Winner winner chicken dinner!

Paulie: This day just keeps getting better and better!

PG: You'll have the afternoon to make all your decisions... but when I see you later, I will need you to name one team to send to the Island's End, and also name which two other teams you want to join you on your superteam. I'll see you guys later at the Circle of Decision!

Camera shows all 6 teams walking away from PG. Orange is skipping happily as all the other teams look upset. Camera shows Purple and Green talking in the treehouse.

Nolan: What did we do to deserve this...?

Jasmine: Why can't the good people ever win anything?

Wyatt: No kidding! It's like... what is the universe trying to teach the kids watching the show?

Willow: Apparently it pays to be evil.

They all laugh.

Nolan: I mean, they have a reason to send every team to the Island's End... but I'm sure they're going to pick one of us.

Wyatt: Let's not kid ourselves... they're sending us no doubt.

Wyatt: I could spend my afternoon kissing Orange's butt and trying to get them not to send us... but that's not the type of person I am. Also, I just don't like them... I'm not going to pretend to like them just to avoid the Island's End. Send me... I dare you!

Camera shows Blue, Brown and Red all talking on the beach.

Veronica: This game... is such a mess.

Tori: That's one way to look at it.

Skye: I mean theoretically I can see them sending any single team to the Island's End...

Devyn: I feel like they'll send us because we sent them to Temple.

Jacob: Yeah, but they also could have taken you out first in the mission today and they didn't.

Micah: I think they'll probably send Green.

Devyn: And the superteams... who knows what they're going to do.

Skye: I'm guessing they are not going to want to team up with the other two... so it's going to be two of us.

Micah: Sarcasm Well isn't that just wonderful for us.

Skye: Right now the game has kind of been split... Blue, Brown and Red are sort of together... Purple and Green are obviously together... and Orange is... well I was going to say they're in the middle... but they're more like a common enemy between the two alliances. Plus I have a connection with Willow, so I don't know. So far I haven't had to make any choices between everyone.

Camera shows Orange walking over to the group of 3.

Paulie: Let's just make this short and sweet...

Holly: Do you three want to be on a superteam together?

Veronica: Well I mean... that's what we want.

Tori: We just really don't expect you to do it.

Paulie: Little faith Tori... your wish is our command.

Holly: Just remember this. You owe us.

Orange immediately walks away.

Jacob: Uh... that was random.

Jacob: Orange comes up out of nowhere... like the godfathers, and they're like "You want to be on a superteam together? We can make that happen!" And I'm like hell yeah I want to be on a superteam with Tori- and... uh... Brown and Blue. Duh. And then comes the famous like... Dramatic "YOU OWE US!"

Camera shows Orange walking away down the beach and talking.

Paulie: This is about to be so fricken epic!

Holly: No kidding. Everybody is about to realize how genius we are!

Holly: Everybody's expecting to join up with Blue, Red or Brown in the superteams because... we hate Purple and Green. But nah, that's too easy. We have a masterplan in mind... and nobody is going to see this coming!

Camera shows all 6 teams walking to the Circle of Decisions and sitting on logs in front of PG.

PG: Welcome back to the Circle of Decisions. Great mission today, Orange Team once again showing they're a powerhouse in this game.

Wyatt: Whoop dee doo...

PG: Alright, let's get the first big decision out of the way. Who are the two teams you want to join your superteam?

Paulie: Well... this might come as a shocking decision. But there's a method to our madness.

Holly: We would love it if Purple and Green come and join us.

Shows Willow, Nolan, Wyatt, and Jasmine all dropping their jaws.

Nolan: But... why?

Holly: We just think it would be cruel to split the friendships up.

Paulie: Yeah, you guys now get to stick together... and Blue, Red, and Brown all get to stick together.

Wyatt: Yeah... I don't buy it.

Wyatt: All of a sudden Orange decides that they care oh so deeply about people's friendships, and they want to be nice? Yeah right. Cut the crap. You guys are up to something, and it's only a matter of time before we figure it out.

Paulie: This is pure genius. We are now stuck with the two teams we hate the most, and we are going to throw the mission tomorrow and ensure that we lose... then we are going to campaign so hard to make sure Green and Purple go up to temple together, and split up yet another power alliance! And by the off chance we fail, and don't successfully throw the mission... as if... But at least we split up Blue, Red or Brown... another power alliance. It's a win, win situation!

PG: Alright, the Superteams are set... it's going to be Blue/Red/Brown against Green/Purple/Orange! Going to be a good match up. Now Orange Team, I also told you today's Island's End is going to contain a huge disadvantage in the game. Who are you going to send to face the disadvantage?

Holly: We are going to go ahead and send our Superteam partners... Green Team.

Wyatt: You do realize if it's something that affects the entire Superteam, you guys sabotaged yourselves right?

Paulie: So be it.

Jasmine: You guys... are definitely up to something.

PG: Alright, tomorrow's temple mission will be a battle of the superteams, and Green Team is heading to the Island's End! Here's the map, head on out. I will see everybody tomorrow!

Purple hugs Green right before 5 teams head off in one direction, and Green walks the opposite way to the Island's End.

Wyatt: What do you think that was all about?

Jasmine: I have no clue, but there's no way they're doing this to be nice and "keep friendships together"

Wyatt: Oh no, they're definitely up to something... especially then sending us to the Island's End?

Wyatt and Jasmine approach the podium at the Island's End. Jasmine picks up the note and reads it.

Jasmine: "Welcome to the Island's End. Typically, the Island's End holds an advantage at a cost, but today you've been dealt a huge disadvantage in the game, and it will cost you if you want to get out of it."

Wyatt: Well that sounds like a wonderful start...

Jasmine: "Tomorrow, the winning superteam will all be safe, while two of the members of the losing superteam will be chosen to go to temple. BUT with this disadvantage, whether your superteam wins or lose... you will be guaranteed as one of the two teams going up to Temple."

Wyatt: Well... crap.

Jasmine: "If you wish to buy your way out of this, you will need to pay two pyramid pieces. If you do not, you WILL go to Temple tomorrow."

Wyatt: Well... that definitely changes everything.

Jasmine: We get to the Island's End, and basically the note tells us that whether we win or lose tomorrow, our team will be at risk of going home at the Temple of Fate. The only way out of that? Give up the only things that can help us win at the very end of the game... our pyramid pieces. This just got really interesting... and not in a good way.

VERONICA QUEEN!!!! ERIKA WHO???
Paulie is LITERALLY Paulie from the Challenge like literal deranged. And I'm sorry but Holly's "Speak to me when you've won something in life." is SENDING ME.
The web of alliances is so crazy! Orange didn't have many bridges to start with but they've now burned them all so it'll be...... interesting to see how things shake down from here.

Oops I missed this for some reason aha. And yes Veronica is definitely Erika-tier. 
And maybe this is the younger version of Paulie, who knows lol. And I honestly didnt even realize how crazy alliances were going to turn out haha it just sort of happened.

[Cruise meerkat Youssy]

Okay Orange and Blue are freaking crazy strong.
Orange's strategy was NOT good, I can see what they are going for, but they are never going to convince anyone to send Green and Purple. Orange will be sent and I wouldn't be surprised if their arrogance is a one-way ticket home.

Blue and Orange seems like the beasts this season in the missions for sure.
And aha we shall see what happens with Orange's master plan

Episode 8: Battle of the Superteams

Jasmine: "Tomorrow, the winning superteam will all be safe, while two of the members of the losing superteam will be chosen to go to temple. BUT with this disadvantage, whether your superteam wins or lose... you will be guaranteed as one of the two teams going up to Temple. If you wish to buy your way out of this, you will need to pay two pyramid pieces. If you do not, you WILL go to Temple tomorrow."

Wyatt: Well... that definitely changes everything.

Wyatt: We definitely just got dealt the crappiest blow in the game. Either we go to the next temple of fate, or we give up all of our pyramid pieces. Either way it sucks, it's just a matter of figuring out which sucks more.

Jasmine: Well, what are you thinking?

Wyatt: I'm thinking we pretty much have to choose between short term disadvantage, or long term disadvantage.

Jasmine: I think it's a little bit more difficult than that. If we don't give up our pieces now, we could very well be eliminated at the Temple of Fate.

Wyatt: I get that, but Orange is up to something... we know this. I think they're going to throw the mission and make our Superteam lose.

Jasmine: Oh wow, I never thought about that. And if they do that... I think Purple is going to get saved, because Willow is friends with Skye.

Wyatt: So I mean, if they succeed in throwing the mission... we're probably going up anyways.

Jasmine: That's all a big IF though. If they throw the mission... and if they succeed. This is a guarantee we are going.

Wyatt: I know, I know... there's no easy choice here.

Jasmine: It's hard, because we don't know what Orange is planning... but we're like 99% sure they're planning something. So if we give up our pieces, and end up going to Temple anyways, we're going to be down to 0 pieces for no reason. But at the same time... it's like d**n. Temple is the place you never want to be and you usually do anything you can to not go there. It's tough.

Camera shows the Green Team walking back to camp, and as they pass their piece pole the camera shows both pieces still on theirs. Purple Team runs over.

Nolan: What the heck happened?

Jasmine: Well, it's good news and bad news for you guys...

Wyatt: We are guaranteed to go to the next Temple of Fate whether we win or lose...

Willow: Uh, and how is that good news for us?

Jasmine: Just means you guys have a better chance at not going, that's all.

Nolan: This is hardly good news...

Nolan: Our alliance just keeps getting thrown curveball after curveball. Now Green is 100% going up to the next Temple of Fate, and who knows... we could end up being the team going against them... which would be fricken TERRIBLE! I don't even want to think about that...

Camera shows Red, Blue and Brown in the treehouse, as Orange walks in.

Holly: We just wanted to personally congratulate the three of you for making the final 5.

Jacob: What do you mean?

Devyn: Yeah, we still have a temple mission...

Paulie: Oh you guys don't need to worry about that. We are throwing it.

Micah: Wow, really?

Holly: Don't act so surprised. Did you really not see this coming?

Veronica: I think I speak for all of us when I say... no, not really.

Paulie: You really think we are going to help those 2 win anything in this game? You're sadly mistaken.

Holly: We'd appreciate you guys returning the favour by not sending us to Temple...

Paulie: But even if you do, we are taking one of them out anyways.

Veronica: It all makes sense now. They weren't just doing this to make good with us, and keep us together as friends on one Superteam. They're going to throw the mission and sabotage Green and Purple! And... I'm not a mean person... but I'm surprisingly okay with this. At long as it ain't me!

Camera shows all 6 teams walking onto the beach, and assembling in front of PG.

PG: Nice to see you all standing beside your Superteams! We've seen how you work as partners... now it's time to test you in a big team.

Camera shows Red/Blue/Brown beside each other, and Orange/Green/Purple on the other side.

PG: Today's mission is called Hot Pursuit, and here's how it works. Out in the shore we have created an oval shaped course made out of rope. You will be running around, and around this oval, in hopes of catching the other Superteam. There is a catch. All of you will be carrying a 10lb backpack. If you feel at any point the mission is too much for you, or you're slowing your team down... you can bow out of the mission, but you must give your backpack to somebody else. First team to tag the opposing Superteam win the Temple Mission, and will send one team from the losing team to face Green Team at the Temple of Fate.

Camera shows everyone except Purple and Green looking confused.

PG: Right, I should probably mention that due to the Island's End, Green Team is 100% going to be one of the teams going to Temple tonight whether their superteam wins or loses.

Holly: Wow, that's even better than what we were expecting.

PG: We are going to tie your teams together, and then we will begin!

Camera shows both superteams tied together in the water with their 10lb backpacks on.

PG: Alright, everybody is set... let's begin! Start running!

Camera shows both teams running in the same direction around the oval.

Wyatt: I swear to god, if you guys throw this...

Paulie: Big threats coming from someone guaranteed to go to temple.

PG: Already sensing some tension coming from the Orange/Green/Purple superteam...

Wyatt: Jasmine and I are already 100% going to Temple... but if Orange throws this mission, there's a 50/50 chance the other Superteam is going to send Purple against us... and that's all I need right now. A repeat of the first Temple of Fate where I'm forced to either send my allies home, or get send home by my ally.

Camera pans to the other Superteam.

Devyn: Everybody doing okay so far?

Skye: I'm okay... I feel like I might slow you down eventually.

Veronica: If you start to tire out, just give your back to Devyn or I. We got this guys!

PG: A lot more teamwork coming out of the Blue/Red/Brown superteam.

Veronica: Orange claims they're going to throw the mission to us today, but there's no telling with them. We just have to focus on ourselves, and make sure we are putting ourselves in the best position to win.

Camera shows Blue/Red/Brown having a bit of a lead on Orange/Purple/Green.

Willow: I'm sorry guys, I've got to drop out. I'll just slow you down.

Paulie: Just give your bag to me.

Wyatt: Oh no you don't! Grabs bag from Willow.

PG: And just like that, Willow steps out of the mission. Wyatt is now carrying 20lbs!

Camera shows Willow sitting on the bench.

Devyn: Skye, how are you?

Skye: I'm okay... starting to feel... tired... Trips.

PG: Oh! Skye takes a tumble. That's going to put her superteam behind!

Veronica: Here, give me your bag and tag out!

Veronica takes Skye's bag, as Skye unhooks herself from the rope. Shows Orange/Purple/Green slowly closing in on them.

Nolan: Come on guys! We've got this!

PG: And that stumble has cost them big time! They're about to get tagged unless they pick up the pace!

Holly: Not if we have anything to do with it...

Camera shows both Paulie and Holly suddenly switching directions and running opposite the rest of their superteam.

PG: Uh... what are you guys doing. You're going the wrong way?

Paulie: Oh we know PG... don't you worry!

Wyatt: No! Screw you guys, give me your bags right now!

Holly: Nah, that's not how this works Wyatt...

PG: Orange Team is literally acting like anchors towards the rest of their Superteam.

Paulie: This is no team PG... they've been against us since the beginning of the game!

Holly: And now it's time for karma!

Camera shows the other superteam getting close.

Tori: Come on guys! This is our chance!

Jacob: I can't believe they're actually doing this...

Willow: PG! Come on! Call it. There has to be some rule against this!

PG: Sorry, but... it's all up to the Superteam's how they want to work together... or... in this case, against each other.

Holly: Have fun going against each other at temple!

Shows Orange giving one huge tug, knocking the rest of their superteam over. Camera shows Brown/Blue/Red all approaching. 

Paulie: Sticks out hand. Here, high-five!

Camera shows Devyn giving Paulie a high-five.

PG: And just like that, this mission is over. Devyn has tagged Paulie!

Jasmine: You guys... are ridiculous!

Holly: Trust me, we've been called worse.

Jasmine: I believe that.

Camera shows Brown/Blue/Red all celebrating. Then pans to the 6 teams assembled in front of PG on the beach again.

PG: I'd say that was a very competitive mission today... but really, it was very lopsided. But either way, the superteam of Brown, Blue and Red-

Paulie: And the MVP's, Orange...

PG: Yes, but your team technically still lost. Anyways, Brown, Blue and Red... you have the afternoon to decide whether you want Purple or Orange to face off against Green at the Temple of Fate tonight. I'll see you later at the Circle of Decision for your choice!

Camera shows all 6 teams walking off into the distance. Then pans to all 6 teams in the Treehouse.

Paulie: Congratulations you guys. Well deserved win.

Wyatt: Oh shut up Paulie, everyone knows why they won.

Paulie: Wow Wyatt, taking away from their well deserved win? I didn't take you for that kind of guy.

Paulie: Things couldn't be going better for us. We didn't even know that Green got automatically sent to Temple from the Island's End... so score 1 for us. Score 2 is going to be when their best friends, Purple, get sent against them and one of them goes home. Oh, sweet sweet victory!

Wyatt: I'm just going to say to you all, if you choose to save Orange for whatever reason... they're never going to be trustworthy, and they will easily do to you what they did to us. I'm done. Walks out of the treehouse.

Holly: Sore loser much?

Jasmine: Do not talk about my cousin like that!

Holly: What are you going to do about it?

Jacob: ENOUGH! Knock it off everyone!

Micah: Yeah, I think we've heard enough from you guys. Can we just talk to Purple privately please?

Paulie: Uh, what? But... you owe us.

Tori: Yes, yes. We owe you. Doesn't mean we can't talk to Purple privately.

Holly: Alright, just keep in mind. If you screw us, we're coming for you.

Orange and Jasmine walk out of the Treehouse.

Nolan: You guys can't seriously be thinking of keeping them around...

Veronica: It's... not the easiest decision ever. You have to understand that.

Willow: We get that, but seriously? They're just rude.

Willow: I am so over this. I'm almost at the point where if Orange is going to be sticking around here, I'll volunteer to just go home. I can't deal with people like them.

Skye: We like you guys... you know that. Willow, I love you so much.

Willow: Well then do the right thing, and keep us around!

Nolan: Please, don't reward vicious behaviour like that.

Micah: On one hand, we all want to keep you guys and get rid of Orange... that much is obvious.

Devyn: But it's pretty obvious you guys are just going to join right back up with Green if they come back... that's not good for any of us.

Nolan: At least you guys know where we stand! Orange will tell you one thing, and stab you right in the back!

Willow: You guys know that Green is our ride or dies... but Orange will turn on you without any warning!

Tori: You guys do make a good point... alright, we have some talking to do... if you don't mind leaving, no offence.

Willow: All good, just please keep in mind what we said.

Camera shows both Willow and Nolan leaving the treehouse, leaving the 3 winning teams.

Jacob: I wasn't really expecting this to be that difficult...

Tori: I know. We just have to think what's best for all of us.

Tori: I feel like at this point, it comes down to a personal decision versus a strategic decision. Obviously everybody wants Orange out. Nobody likes living with them, and honestly, no one even knows where they stand in the game. But a strategic decision would be to send Purple and guarantee that alliance is broken up... but everybody likes Purple, so it makes it more difficult.

Devyn: I mean, I appreciate Orange for throwing the mission.

Veronica: Appreciate and Orange should not be used in the same sentence.

Devyn: Yeah, that does feel a little weird.

Micah: Personally I want to just say screw it and send Orange.

Skye: Yeah, but you know if they come back they're going to come after us... because... "WE OWE THEM!!!!"

Jacob: Well they'll be coming for us next time anyways... there's only going to be us, and one other team left with them if we keep them here.

Tori: That's also a good point.

Veronica: It seems like everyone is split. Either decision we make has advantages and disadvantages. I feel like there is no real right or wrong decision at this point, it's just about what everybody feels more comfortable with.

Camera shows Orange talking.

Holly: If they dare to send us... oh there is going to be hell to pay.

Paulie: No kidding. We will take out every single one of them if they dare cross us.

Holly: Not to mention they'd be stupid not to send up the power alliance.

Holly: Hello? It's so obvious... the power duo is standing right in front of you, ready to break up, and you're going to choose us? I mean, I know I'm playing with a bunch of idiots out here, but come on! You can't be THAT dumb.

Camera shows Nolan consoling Willow as she's crying.

Willow: This is so unfair! We've been working our butts off, and now we're going to get sent up because of them throwing the mission!

Nolan: Hey, take a deep breath. We haven't been sent yet... we still have a chance.

Willow: No.. no we don't! Orange is going to bully them once again, and we are going to be the victims! It's not fair!

Nolan: Wow, I haven't seen Willow like this before. I've been praising her for being this strategic genius out here, but now that she doesn't have control... she's just having a meltdown... which is fair, because hey, I'm not to happy about the situation either. But her age is really starting to show, and she's just really talking it personally.

Nolan: We just have to keep our heads up... and as much as it will suck, if we get sent... we have to go fighting, and take our friends out.

Willow: No! If we get sent, I don't even want to be here anymore. I don't want to be here with those bullies. I can't do it!

Nolan: Come on Willow. We've played this game so hard, we can't give up.

Skye walks up to the two of them.

Skye: Willow... don't cry. Puts her arm around Willow who shurgs it off.

Willow: How dare you! You're supposed to be my friend! How can you do this to me?

Skye: Wha-what? I'm here for you-

Willow: You are my only real friend out here, and you're going to choose Orange over me? How could you?

Skye: Willow, I'm not-

Willow: I don't want to hear it! You've betrayed me... and you've betrayed my trust! I'm done with you!

Willow stands up and rushes off.

Willow: Crying I just... I've reached my breaking point. I've been so strong out here... and a real threat strategically... But this hurts so much. My friend is turning against me... and going to side with the bullies... just for the game. She's turning on a friend... to better her game... and I can't... I can't deal with it. I'm a mess, I can't do this anymore.

Skye: I... wow... I really just came over to tell you guys that I think you have a chance.

Nolan: Really? Does it seem like Orange is going?

Skye: It seems like everybody is leaning towards that... but... wow, Willow needs to control herself. She's going to change everyone's mind.

Nolan: I'm sorry about that, she's just taking it really hard.

Skye: It's fine, I get it. I just hope she knows I'm one of her true friends out here. I would never do anything to hurt her.

Skye: It's sad to see one of my true friends just... breakdown like that, and say mean things about me. I understand she's hurt, but I was never wanting to send her... she has to know that right? I would never choose her over Orange, but it's not just me right now... there's are 3 teams that have to come to one decision!

Camera shows all 6 teams meeting PG at the Circle of Decisions, as they all sit on their logs. Camera shows Willow crying.

PG: Before we get to it... Willow, are you okay?

Willow: Crying I'm... I'm alright... it's just been a really hard day for me.

Nolan: We're fine PG. Willow's strong, she's just having a moment. 

Skye: Willow, I know you don't want to hear from me right now... but I just want you to know I love you, and it hurts me to see you this way.

PG: This is really showing how the game can take a toll mentally.

Holly: Can I just say one thing?

Wyatt: I... I really don't think this is what she needs right now.

Holly: Look, this is a game. I just want to say that. Everyone here is playing a game. Nothing is meant to be personal, and it's hard to see someone breakdown like this.

Willow gives a bit of a smile while still in tears.

Tori: I think at the end of the day, it just comes down to that... this is a game. It's hard to separate the too, but nothing should be taken personally out here, as hard as it may seem.

Paulie: Yeah, we're not out here trying to make anybody feel like this. It's a game. We're all here trying to win.

Paulie: I know everybody looks at us as bullies and mean people... and I mean, I see their point. That's the game we're playing. It's intense. It's unforgiving. I get it. But at the end of the day, we're human and we're not here to make anybody feel this bad. We're playing a strategic game, and we might have lost track of the personal level of it... but I just can't take a step back... we're here to win, and we're still going to be cutthroat until we win. It's just our nature.

PG: Willow, does it make you feel a bit better hearing everyone's support?

Willow: It... it's nice. Especially seeing Orange team show they really can be human Laughs.

Holly: Trust me, we're still here to kick your butt. But I don't want to see you cry.

Willow: Thanks... I really do appreciate that. We're good PG. Let's get to it.

Willow: I lost control of my emotions. I can't help it. I'm a human, and I feel things. I'm not some robot, strategic player out here that people might think. It was just nice to see everybody come together and support me and pick me back up. I won't forget it.

PG: Really a truly special moment right here. Seeing everybody put the game aside for a second, and picking up somebody who's feeling down. I'm proud of you guys. But at the end of the day, we still have a game to play... Micah, I'm going to put this on you. Has your superteam decided who is joining Green Team at the temple of fate?

Micah: It's been crazy back and forth all day... but PG, we have made a decision.

PG: Alright, tell me who you guys have decided and why.

Micah: It basically comes down to personal, versus strategic. And we understand that it would make sense to split up the power duo, but at the end of the day... even if you just showed a truly human moment here, we can't forgive your past actions... we are sending Orange Team up to temple.

Camera shows Orange, Purple, and Green all looking shocked.

Paulie: You guys realize we gave you that win right?

Holly: You wouldn't be in that position without us.

Wyatt: I knew the human side of Orange was only temporary...

Paulie: Shut up Wyatt, I said when it comes to the game... it's all on the table.

Veronica: Can I just say, I don't fully believe we would have lost if you didn't throw it...

Holly: Wow, way to throw everything in our face.

Veronica: We never asked you guys to throw the mission. That was a choice you made, so I'm sorry... but we don't owe anything to you guys.

Paulie: We won't forget this...

Jacob: None of us expect you to forget this. Go up to Temple, work your butt off... attempt to come back. Then you can come after us all you want.

Holly: Oh, we will come back... and we're taking you all out.

Wyatt: We'll just see about that.

PG: Alright, the matchup for tonight has been set... and it looks like two rivals will be going head to head. Green versus , tonight you guys will take the long trek up to the Temple of Fate. You will need to pack your things and say your goodbyes, because one of you will not be returning. I'll see you both tonight!

Willow: To Skye. Thank you so much. I'm sorry I lashed out at you...

Skye: It's okay, I get it. Emotions were running high. Just remember, I've got your back.

Willow and Skye hug as everybody walks back to camp. Camera shows Orange and Green both packing in the treehouse.

Paulie: Looks like our friendly rivalry is finally coming to an end tonight...

Wyatt: Friendly? You guys have been nothing but rude out here.

Paulie: All in the sake of the game Wyatt, we don't actually hate you guys.

Wyatt: Well I'm sorry, but I don't believe you can excuse your actions just because of some game.

Jasmine: Wyatt, stop. Just ignore him.

Paulie: Look, I'm just trying to have some sort of truce here.

Wyatt: And I'm telling you, the damage is done. You will never have my respect. Leaves the treehouse.

Wyatt: They might have been able to fool everyone down at the Circle of Decisions, but I don't buy it. You don't act the way you've acted for a week and a half, then suddenly show you're a changed person. They're trying to earn brownie points, and it's not going to work on me.

Camera shows Purple and Green talking.

Wyatt: I really hope you guys didn't fall for their fake niceness...

Nolan: I don't want to talk about that right now... I just want to enjoy what could be our last few moments together.

Jasmine: We're going to fight like heck to come back to you guys!

Willow: Please do. Definitely rather you guys here than Orange!

Willow: I feel a little bit better about Orange after the Circle of Decisions... but honestly, it could all just be an act and they're trying to win people over. But I don't know. I'm just hoping they go home tonight, and my friends come back home.

Camera shows all the teams standing outside the treehouses as the sun is setting, Green and Orange are saying goodbye.

Jasmine: Goodbye everybody! It was lovely meeting you all!

Skye: Good luck both of you... but mostly Green!

Paulie: Yeah, you better hope they come back...

Holly: But when they don't and we do, you better believe we're coming for all three of you!

Skye: Okay I take it back. Good luck Green!

Paulie: They'll need it!

Green gives one final hug to Purple as Green and Orange both walk off into the sunset.

Paulie: Looks at our rivalry, walking off into the sunset together.

Wyatt: Do me a favour... don't talk to us during the walk.

Camera shows both teams walking into the Temple of Fate and standing behind their podiums.

PG: Green Team, Orange Team... welcome back to the Temple of Fate! Out of all the teams left in the game, you are the only two teams to have come to the Temple of Fate already, and conquer it. Tonight, that's all going to change... as one of you will fall victim to the elements. 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 fifth team eliminated from Endurance Bloodlines. Everybody understand?

Both teams nod.

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

Wyatt: Water got us the win last time...

Jasmine: Sounds good to me!

Both teams write down their element, 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: Green Team, you've picked Water! Orange Team, you picked Wood. Wood floats on Water, Orange, that's one point for you!

Wyatt: d**nit, I'm sorry Jasmine!

Jasmine: What are you sorry for? We chose together...

Paulie: One element away from heading home... must suck.

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

Holly: They're totally going to stick with Water.

Paulie: Then we pick Wood again. Winners!

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

PG: Alright, if Orange Team has the dominant element, they'll be heading back to camp. But if Green Team has it, we will go into a tiebreaker round May the elements please rise now!

The elements rise, revealing both teams choices.

PG: Oh! Green Team, you've picked Fire. Orange Team, you picked Wood again. Fire burns the Wood, Green, you've tied it up!

Camera shows Green Team hugging.

Paulie: Don't get too excited... just giving you guys some false hope.

Holly: Time to send you home!

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.

Jasmine: Oh my god, my heart is racing like crazy.

Wyatt: Mine too... I don't know what we should do.

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

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

Both elements rise. Both teams react.

PG: Wow! Green Team, you've picked Water. Orange Team, you picked Fire. Water puts out the Fire... Congratulations Green, you're heading back into the game!

Wyatt lifts Jasmine off the ground, stares at Paulie and points at him.

Wyatt: All that talk about Karma! Look where that got you! KARMA TO YOU!

Paulie: Wow... act like you've won something before in your life.

Wyatt: No! You've been sore winners this entire game... It's about time you get a taste of your own medicine!

Camera shows Holly in tears.

Paulie: Whatever. I'll see you in All Stars, where I'll kick your butt.

Wyatt: I don't need All Stars to show you who's better. I just beat you!

PG: Alright guys, settle down... settle down. Orange Team, I know this is hard for you guys... but it's time for you to head out.

Shows Paulie and Holly walking over to the fire pit and standing behind it.

Holly: Crying We... we worked so hard... we should have won this!
Paulie: Yeah, we are clearly the strongest team out here... as you can tell by our FOUR PYRAMID PIECES!
Holly: Everyone just hated us... and came at us because we were good competitors. They were threatened.
Paulie: Don't you worry... we'll be back for All Stars, and we will remember every single one of you who went against us!

Wyatt: Have a great flight home! Waving sarcastically.

Paulie: Oh bite me. Have fun knowing you wont be getting our pieces.

Wyatt: Have fun knowing I don't care.

Paulie and Holly fade out behind the fire. Camera pans back to PG and the Green Team.

PG: Last time you guys were up here, it was a bittersweet victory... I'm sure all it is right now is sweet.

Wyatt: Oh you bet it is PG.

Jasmine: The most sweet moment!

PG: Head on back to camp... I'm sure everybody is about to be very happy.

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

Micah: Moment of truth...

Willow: Crossed leg on the floor, fingers crossed, rocking back and forth. Please be Green, Please be Green!

Wyatt: Imitating Paulie. KARMA! YOUR WORST NIGHTMARE IS BACK!

Devyn: Crap... it's Orange again.

Willow: Tearing up. No way...

Jasmine: Just kidding, it's us!

Everyone screams in excitement and runs over to Green Team giving them hugs.

Willow: Don't ever scare me like that again!

FINALLY ORANGE IS GONE. I honestly screamed at what Wyatt said to them before they left. It’s gonna be interesting to see how the game is gonna change now that the main target are now gone. And that sad moment the Willow had, I feel her. I honestly don’t know who I’m rooting for at this point. But all I know is that we are gonna see Orange on all-stars!

Haha Orange made up a good portion of the storylines for the first half of the game, but let me just say... there's still a lot more game left to play! And #Orange4AllStars

[Cruise meerkat Youssy]

I don't think I've ever seen a fight at TEMPLE like that adfsdzsdgfd
The strategy is sure going to get interesting now that Orange is gone. I feel like Blue and Brown are in a vulnerable spot.
It was nice seeing Orange have actual emotions for 5 seconds

Haha it was very fun bantering to write for that's for sure.
And yes things are about to get interesting with the easy scapegoat gone.
See! They are human too... kind of lol

Episode 9: Rid the Demons

Camera shows all 5 teams on the beach playing bowling with logs lined up, and a coconut as the bowling ball.

Jacob: And Tori's up... she strikes a pose, does a little dance.... and the ball is rolling. GOAL!

Tori: It's called a strike, thank you very much! Laughing

Veronica: Yeah, yeah, yeah... move aside, let me show you how to do that with a perfect form.

Tori: Oh, those are fighting words right there!

Veronica: Orange went home last night, and there's just instant relief around camp. All 5 of us just came together, and for the first time since we've been out here... we're just having a good time and enjoying each others company! We all know there's a game to be played here, but why not enjoy it while we can? Something Orange never really let us do.

Wyatt: You call that perfect form? You basically did a granny shot!

Veronica: As if you could do better!

Wyatt: Watch and learn.

Wyatt rolls the ball, and doesn't knock over any of the logs.

Nolan: Form, 10! Execution... negative 100!

Everyone laughs as Wyatt looks upset.

Jasmine: Oh don't be a party pooper Wyatt! It's all fun and games!

Wyatt: I know, I know.

Wyatt: I'm a very competitive person by nature. I think that's why Paulie got to me so much. Not because I felt like he was beating me or anything, but just because he always talked down and made me feel less than him. Now that he's gone, we're all just having a good old time... but I still can't help but let my competitive nature show a little bit.

Camera shows people slowly leaving the game, until only Tori and Jacob are left.

Jacob: Looks like it's just us...

Tori: Well now we just have to up the stakes. One shot... whoever knocks the most pins over gets to dare the other person to do whatever they want.

Jacob: Oh you are so on!

Jacob: Things have been going really well with Tori and I. We just get along so well, it's crazy. She's one of the coolest girls I've ever met, and I hope she feels the same way about me. Well... I mean I hope she thinks I'm the coolest guy she ever met, not the coolest girl. You get it.

Camera shows Tori getting ready to roll the ball.

Jacob: Don't forget to work on your form!

Tori: Smiling. Screw the form. All we agreed on was who knocks over the most logs.

Tori rolls the ball and knocks down all the logs.

Tori: And that my friend, would be a strike. Or as you like to call it... GOALLLLLL!

Jacob: Don't think that means you win. I'm about to tie it up.

Jacob takes the ball and rolls it, knocking over 3 logs.

Tori: Oh, how does that feel? Losing to a girl!

Jacob: Hey, I think girls are able to do anything a guy can do... I'm not surprised.

Tori: Either way, you lose. And now you have to do whatever I say. Hm....

Jacob: Well, what's it going to be?

Tori: I've been waiting almost two weeks for this moment... and it's finally here.

Tori: I dare you to give me a kiss!

Jacob: Shocked. How dare you.

Tori: Looking awkward. Oh... I'm sorry... I just uh.... I thought we... I'm...

Jacob: Leaning in. I was going to say, how dare you think you need to dare me to do that.

Jacob and Tori share their first kiss. Camera pans to the other 8 people all watching from a distance, and then all loudly cheering.

Nolan: Yeah bro! Woohoo!

Micah: That's my sister!

Jasmine: So cute!

Jacob and Tori both look awkward.

Tori: How... how long were you... all watching?

Veronica: Oh we've been watching ever since we left.

Skye: Yeah! We had bets on if you guys were going to kiss or not.

Jacob: Oh my god, really? This... this is so embarassing.

Willow: Not at all! Don't let us stop you... kiss away.

Tori: Moving away from Jacob. Yeah, no... this just got extremely awkward!

Jacob: Ditto that. See you later.

Tori: But... it was really, really nice.

Jacob: Fist in the air. WOOHOO!!!!! I DID IT!

Camera pans to PG walking over to the camp.

PG: Hey everyone! Over to the treehouses please!

All 5 teams slowly assemble and sit in front of the treehouses.

PG: Hope everyone's enjoying the day so far. As you know, Orange Team went home last night. How has the mood around camp been since they left?

Wyatt: Oh my god PG... it's amazing! Everyone's so relaxed and just truly enjoying themselves now!

PG: I'm glad to hear it! Well, they left a letter for you all... and I think I'll let Skye read it today.

PG passes the letter in a bottle to Skye, who opens it and begins to read.

"Hey everyone. We really didn't want to write this letter, but we were pretty much told we had to, or we would never be offered back for a future season. So here we are... writing a letter... that we don't want to write. We are going to make this short and... not so sweet.

Green Team, you both suck. We hope you lose. No pieces for you.
Purple Team, you suck a little less. But you still suck for aligning with Green. So no pieces for you.
Blue Team, you've definitely betrayed us the most out here... therefore, you suck. No pieces for you.
Brown Team, you sort of betrayed us. You could have used your advantage in two different occasions and save us from going to Temple... and neither time did you do it. But still... you're our original allies... You can have the Karma Piece. Congratulations for getting back on the board.
Red Team, I mean... your superteam sent us. But other than that you haven't done anything bad to us. Plus we totally ship Torcob. So you can go right ahead and take the lead with the remainder of our three pieces.

Holly and Paulie."

Skye: Wow... I wasn't expecting that.

Micah: Neither did we.

PG: Well, with that... Red Team, you are now in the lead with 4 pieces. Brown Team, you are now tied for last place with Purple... but at least you guys have a piece again! 

Tori: Thanks Orange, I guess.

PG: Later on today you guys are going to have another mission. With only 5 teams left, and the seemingly common enemy out of the game... there's nowhere to hide. Enjoy the rest of your morning, and I'll see you later for your next mission!

Camera shows PG walking off as the 5 teams separate. Camera pans on the Red Team.

Skye: Woohoo, we are in the lead! This is amazing!

Jacob: I mean, it's nice. I feel like we didn't earn it though.

Skye: Hey, if we managed to not make Orange angry... I'd say that's an accomplishment that deserves to be rewarded!

Skye: Wow, we are in the lead in this game, and that feels great. We haven't had the chance to prove ourselves yet, but you just watch... today's mission we are going to come out on top! We are a threat, and it's time to show it.

Skye: So... brother... I have a question.

Jacob: Go for it.

Skye: Giggling. When's the wedding?

Jacob: Oh shush you!

Camera pans to the Brown and Blue team talking.

Veronica: Look, I'm all team Torcob! Trust me, I'm your biggest fan.

Tori: Oh gee thanks, I'm looking for fans for our... I don't even know what it is.

Veronica: Relationship.

Tori: No, no, no, no, no! Don't even go there.

Devyn: Look, what Veronica is getting at... is if it comes down to it, we want to make sure you guys are not going to choose Red over us.

Micah: Wow, are you kidding me man? Why would you even think that. Of course we're going to stick with you guys!

Devyn: Thanks, but we kind of want Tori to say it...

Tori: It's obvious I like Jacob... but like, you guys came before him and I even connected. There's no way I'll choose him over you guys.

Veronica: Promise?

Tori: Promise.

Tori: Honestly, I don't know what I would do if I had to make that choice. I'm kind of just hoping it's not something I'll ever have to do... because it's going to be really tough. Yeah... rather just not have to do it.

Camera shows Willow and Skye walking down the beach.

Skye: Are you and I ok?

Willow: Yes definitely! I'm sorry I took my anger out at you...

Skye: Don't be sorry. I just want us to move past this and still be friends.

Willow: Of course we're still friends. Love you Skye. Hugs.

Willow: I pretty much have to do damage control right now. Not just in the game... but just if I want to even keep my friendship. Because... I really, really think I found a true friend out here in Skye. And we may not 100% be on the same side of alliances right now, but if I'm ever in control of the power, I'm going to look out for her. And I think she would do the same for us.

Camera shows Green Team talking.

Jasmine: Does the whole Willow/Skye thing kind of worry you?

Wyatt: What do you mean?

Jasmine: I'm just scared... those two are so close, it makes me think if it came down to it... we might not be Purple's number 1.

Wyatt: That's crazy talk! You just saw them going at it... there's no way they're working together. And plus, Nolan is my bro... he would never betray me.

Jasmine: I'm glad Wyatt's so comfortable with Purple, because I'm not so sure. They've been with us this whole time, sure, but that's because we had an easy common enemy. But seeing Willow run around all day with Skye just has me worried. I'm sure it's all in my head, but I can't help but think it.

Camera shows all 5 teams meeting PG at the Mission Beach and assemble in front of him.

PG: Welcome back to the mission beach everyone! We are at the halfway point in this game... we started with 10 teams out here, and we are now at the final 8. You should all be very proud of yourselves.

All 5 teams are clapping and looking happy.

PG: I know you guys are all here today, expecting to play for a samadhi and a trip to the Island's End... but I've got something different planned.

Micah: No! Bad PG! Enough with the twists!

PG: Sorry buddy... that's just how the game goes. Today... is your fourth Temple Mission!

Everyone gasps, then camera pans from shocked faces to nervous faces.

PG: You might have just gotten rid of a team last night, but it's time to do it all over again.

Devyn: d**nit! We all just had the best morning ever, celebrating taking the devils out of the game. And now PG's like "Hur hur let's get rid of another team won't that be fun". Not cool PG... NOT COOL!

PG: Today's Temple Mission is a classic... it's called Squaring Off, and here's how it works. In front of you is a large board with squares of all your colours. Each team has 5 squares each. One at a time, you will come up, and place two triangle pieces on any teams squares that you want. You can either cover an entire teams square, or split it up between 2 teams. Once you place your triangles, you will get to choose who goes next. The only catch is you can't choose the team that went before you. Once all your team's squares are covered, you're out of the mission. Last team with at least half a square left uncovered wins the power to send 2 teams to the Temple of Fate. Everybody understand?

Camera shows all the teams nodding.

PG: You guys are also playing for the Knowledge Pyramid piece! Alright, Green Team, since you survived the last Temple of Fate, you will start us off.

Green Team takes their two triangles and stares at the board.

Wyatt: Wow... I really don't know what to do.

Jasmine: Too bad our easy choice is gone.

Jasmine: This mission is about to show where everyone lies in the game. There are two alliances going against each other, but it's not that simple... everyone has intertwined relationships between different teams, and their are cross alliance friendships as well... so people's feelings are about to get hurt.

Wyatt: I'm really sorry about this...

Wyatt and Jasmine both put their triangles on Blue covering their first square.

Veronica: We'll remember that.

PG: And just like that, Blue Team has their first of 5 squares covered! Green Team, who are you selecting to go next?

Jasmine: We choose Purple.

Wyatt: Whispering to Jacob. Purple will pick you to go next... and then you guys have to give it back to us. Let's just rotate the power between us.

Jacob nods as Nolan and Willow take their triangles and discuss.

Willow: I think we just follow suit...

Purple places both their triangles on Blue, covering their second square.

Devyn: Well it's clear who your new Orange Team is.

Nolan: Sorry bro...

PG: Blue Team now has 2 out of 5 squares covered. Purple Team, who's up next.

Wyatt points to Red Team.

Willow: We'll go with Red Team!

Wyatt: Whispering to Jacob. Put it on Blue...

Jacob and Skye both pick up their triangles and look at the board and whisper to each other.

Jacob: Wyatt want's us to work with them and put it on Blue...

Skye: But... we have an alliance with Blue. And I'm not putting it on Willow!

Jacob: I know... he's going to be so pissed.

Camera shows Jacob and Skye both putting their triangles on Green.

Wyatt: Really man? It's going to be like that?

Jacob: There's no other option... We have an alliance, you know that.

Jasmine: It's fine, we get it. All good.

PG: Green Team has their first square covered. Red Team, who's next?

Jacob: We will go with Brown!

Brown Team grabs their triangles and immediately put them on Green.

Micah: Sorry guys!

PG: Green Team and Blue Team now both have 2/5 squares covered. Everybody else still has a clear board. Brown, who's next?

Tori: We're going to go with Blue.

Wyatt: And I wonder where this is going to go...

Camera shows Blue taking both their triangles and walking straight to Green.

Devyn: Just returning the love.

PG: Green Team now has 3/5 squares covered. Blue, who's up next?

Veronica: We'll choose Red!

Red Team takes their triangle pieces directly on Green.

Wyatt: It's almost painful to watch. We started the Mission off with the upper hand by being the first team to go, but Red screwed everything up and now it's just one team after another piling their pieces on us. Guess who's probably heading to Temple again?

PG: Green Team, if you guys get one more square covered, you'll be out. Red Team, who's up next?

Jacob: Brown

Skye: No... Purple!

Jacob: Skye, you know we can't do that.

Skye: Willow's my friend... and she picked us when she had the chance.

Jacob: Sighs As long as you can figure out how to explain this to Brown and Blue... PG we're picking Purple.

Everyone looks shocked.

Micah: You idiot! We had this down... the mission was easily in our hands. Why would you pick Purple? WHY? If somehow, someway one of those two teams wins this... I swear to god, Tori, I'm sorry... but your boyfriend's an idiot.

Willow hugs Skye as her and Nolan pick up their pieces.

Nolan: What do you think?

Willow: Blue already has 2... let's put it on Brown?

Willow and Nolan put both their pieces on Brown.

Micah: Why would you do that?

PG: Right now Green Team has 4/5, Blue Team has 2/5, and Brown Team has 1/5. Purple Team, who's up next?

Nolan: We're going with Green!

Green Team takes their triangle pieces and place them on Brown.

Jasmine: We know we're about to get taken out... and instead of just piling our pieces on Blue, we decide to put a few on Brown... I don't know, hopefully somehow that gives Purple a chance to win this, but it's not looking good right now.

PG: Green Team has 4/5, Blue Team and Brown Team both have 2/5. Green, who's up next?

Wyatt: Well I'm sure they're going to take us right out of here... but we'll go with Red.

Red Team takes their triangle pieces.

Jacob: You're right, I'm sorry...

Red places both their triangles on Green.

PG: And just like that, Green Team is out of the mission... take a spot on the bench. Red, who's next?

Micah: Don't be stupid...

Skye: We're going with Purple.

Devyn: I'm so confused... do we not have an alliance?

Skye: They're our friends too!

Purple comes up and takes their triangle pieces.

Nolan: No matter what we do... they're going to come after us.

Purple places both their triangles on Brown.

PG: Brown Team now has 3/5 squares covered. Blue has 2/5. Purple Team, who's next?

Willow: We'll go with... Blue I guess.

Blue Team takes their triangle pieces.

Devyn: Well... if you guys are going to go against the alliance...

Blue Team places their pieces on Red and everybody looks shocked.

Micah: What the heck are you guys doing! We have to work together!

Devyn: If they wanted to work together, they wouldn't keep choosing Purple... who isn't even in our alliance... to go next!

Camera shows Wyatt sitting on the bench with a huge smile.

Wyatt: I thought our fate would be sealed once we got taken out... I was sure Purple would follow right behind. But now I'm watching that alliance slowly turn on each other, and I'm loving every second of it. Maybe there is hope!

PG: Brown has 3/5, Blue has 2/5, and Red now has 1/5. Blue, who's next?

Veronica: Brown...

Brown takes both their triangle pieces and place it on Purple.

Micah: Because we actually STICK WITH OUR ALLIANCE!

PG: Every team is now on the board. Brown with 3, Blue with 2, and Red and Purple both with 1.

Tori: Red is next...

Red takes their pieces.

Jacob: We never placed anything on you guys...

Devyn: Yeah, but you keep choosing a team not in our alliance to go next!

Jacob: Well, this is just giving the love back to you...

Red places their pieces on Blue. Micah and Tori both look annoyed and Micah rolls his eyes.

Tori: We should have this mission in the bag! There's 3 of us, and 2 of them... they should be out already! But instead Blue and Red are going after each other for NO REASON... it's so stupid. 

PG: Brown and Blue are now tied with 3 pieces each, Red and Purple both have 1.

Skye: Purple's next...

Purple takes their pieces and place them on Brown.

PG: Brown Team is now at 4/5... one more piece on them and their out. Blue is at 3, and Red and Purple still both at 1.

Willow: Blue is next.

Micah: Be smart...

Devyn: Screw that!

Blue Team takes both their pieces and place them on Red.

PG: Brown Team, 4/5. Blue Team, 3/5. Red Team, 2/5. Purple Team 1/5.

Veronica: Brown Team is next.

Brown takes their pieces and place them on Purple.

Micah: Red's up...

Red takes their pieces and place them on Blue.

PG: And it seem like it's just a patten at this point... Brown Team and Blue Team are both at 4/5, Red Team and Purple team are both at 2/5.

Tori: Please Jacob... if you choose Purple they're going to take us out.

Jacob: But Blue's just going to put another point on us...

Tori: You're only at 2 though! You wont be out!

Skye: We're going with Purple...

Tori: d**nit!

Purple takes both their pieces and place them on Brown.

PG: And just like that, Brown is the second team out of the mission. Grab a spot on the bench.

Micah and Tori sit on the bench.

PG: And the only possible choice is for Blue to go next, so you guys are up.

Blue takes both their pieces and look at the board.

Micah: Ok, you guys going after each other was cute and all... but it's time to cut the crap.

Tori: If you guys keep going after each other, Purple's going to win.

Devyn: I don't even care at this point. They took the first shot...

Blue places both their pieces on Red, as Brown looks upset.

Micah: These people are really just a bunch of morons. We had a win handed to our alliance on a silver platter, and they're willing to give it up... FOR NOTHING! Like seriously? Why are they even going after each other. This is so dumb!

PG: The score updated is Blue Team at 4/5, Red Team at 3/5, and Purple Team at 2/5. And by default, Red is up next.

Skye: To Willow. You promise if we give you this, you will not send us to Temple?

Willow: I would never send you... you know that.

Skye: Alright, I trust you.

Red Team places both their pieces on the Blue Team.

Veronica: Now we know where your loyalties lie.

PG: And just like that, Blue Team is out of the game! Grab a spot on the bench. Red Team has 3 squares, and Purple Team has 2... unless someone decides to sacrifice their game, the ending should be obvious... Purple, you're up!

Purple places their pieces on Red. Red then places their pieces on Purple.

PG: Alright. Red Team is at 4/5, while Purple is at 3/5... and it's Purple's turn. They can either take Red out, or forfeit the win to them.

Nolan: Sorry, but we need this win.

Purple places both their pieces on Red.

PG: Purple Team wins the Temple Mission!

Willow and Skye hug.

Skye: Please don't send us...

Willow: You have nothing to worry about.

Green teams runs up to Purple and they both hug, as Brown and Blue look worried.

PG: Congratulations Purple. The odds were stacked against you, but somehow you have won and you're into the Final 4! You'll not only receive the Knowledge pyramid piece, tying you for third place with Green... but you'll also have to choose 2 of the other 4 teams to send up to the Temple of Fate. You'll have the rest of the afternoon to figure out who that's going to be... I'll see you at the Circle of Decisions for your choice.

Wyatt: Somehow... some way.... our alliance comes out on top, and Purple pulls out a victory. Never in a million years did I expect this, and wow... it feels great knowing my friends just won. And unless something crazy happens, we are going to the final 4 with them. That's what happens when you turn against your allies... It was quite nice to watch you guys fall apart.

All 5 teams walk away from PG. Camera shows Purple and Red on the beach.

Nolan: We cannot thank you guys enough for sticking by us today... We wont let you down.

Jacob: I sure hope not... I think our alliance is really pissed at us.

Willow: Oh I'm sure Tori could never be mad at you.

Jacob: Oh I don't know about that... definitely didn't seem very happy on our walk back to camp.

Nolan: Well you guys have nothing to worry about... Blue and Brown are going to go to Temple, and if it's Blue that comes back... you guys have a spot with us and Green.

Skye: We appreciate that.

Jacob: Part of me regrets the decision we made today... because now instead of both Tori and I being safe, it's almost a guarantee now that Tori will be going to Temple tonight, and honestly... I feel pretty responsible. If we had just kept the whole power in the mission within our alliance today, Purple and Green would 100% be the teams going up tonight. But I had to give Skye what she wanted... and now I just have to work through it and make the most of our decision.

Camera shows Brown, Blue and Red all talking.

Micah: You guys are a bunch of idiots... you know that?

Veronica: Oh whatever. If Red didn't pick Purple to go next in the mission, none of this would have ever happened.

Skye: Sorry... you're not my only friends out here.

Veronica: But you agreed to an alliance! And you went against us!

Skye: We didn't put any of our triangles on you... so I don't see how we went against you.

Tori: Look! What it comes down to is... our alliance would be in power if it wasn't for you Red. But there's no point looking at it that way now... what's done is done.

Devyn: What's done is done... and this alliance is clearly done.

Devyn storms out of the treehouse, and Veronica follows.

Tori: You guys REALLY messed up... I hope you know that.

Jacob: Well we don't feel that great, if that makes you feel any better.

Micah: You basically sent us up to Temple... what were you thinking?

Skye: I was thinking... less than 24 hours ago my friend was crying. And I wanted to throw her a bone...

Micah: If by throwing her a bone you mean give her the win and screw over your ACTUAL ALLIANCE, you dd a great job.

Jacob: Tori said it best... what's done is done. I'm sorry you guys.

Camera pans to a Green and Purple talking on the beach.

Jasmine: I'm still in shock... I can't believe our alliance is in power!

Wyatt: Like seriously. On paper... we had NO SHOT at winning that.

Nolan: No kidding.. strategic genius Willow strikes again.

Willow: Oh stop. I am no genius.

Willow: Less than 24 hours ago I was crying at the Circle of Decisions thinking I was being sent up... now I'm here with the power to choose who goes up! It's crazy how this game just turns around completely.

Jasmine: I'm assuming you're sending Brown and Blue?

Nolan: Yeah definitely. Makes the most sense right now.

Willow: Red says if Blue comes back, they'll join our alliance to take our Blue.

Wyatt: And what if Brown comes back...

Willow: Well... Tori and Jacob... I think romance trumps friendship...

Wyatt: We're sitting pretty right now, and it feels so good to know that our alliance is making up half of the final 4. And plus, if Red joins up with us... we've gone from minority to complete control of the game. I'm feeling pretty good right now, and a few hours ago I definitely didn't feel this way at all.

Camera shows Blue and Brown talking.

Tori: You guys better win tonight.

Devyn: Uh... you realize that chances are, you're going up against us?

Tori: I don't think so...

Veronica: Alright, cut the cryptic stuff.

Micah: See, this is what we were hoping would happen... You... and all the other teams forgot we have an advantage.

Devyn: Drops jaw. Holy crap, I totally forgot about that.

Tori: Yeah, so either way... we are choosing one team to go up to temple.

Micah: It's just a matter of who Purple chooses to go against them. I have a feeling they'll choose you over us though...

Veronica: Holy crap, I can't get over this... That changes everything!

Micah: We haven't talked much about our Island's End advantage because... 1, it was never really useful until now... and 2, we wanted the other teams to forget about it, so we could strike when necessary and have everyone shocked. Tonight's the last night we can use it, and you bet we are going to. They think they're about to break our alliance up... but we have another thing coming.

Camera shows the 5 teams assembling in front of PG at the Circle of Decisions and taking seats on the logs.

PG: Welcome back everybody to theWe Circle of Decisions. You guys were thrown a bit of a curveball today with yet another Temple Mission... in the end, Purple... how does it feel to win?

Nolan: It obviously feels really good... we definitely had the odds stacked against us today, and somehow we still won.

Micah: Because of a stupid move... Looks at Red.

PG: Well luckily, because you beat the odds... you now get to send 2 teams up to the Temple of Fate. Who have you decided and why?

Tori: Actually PG, we have something we want to say first.

PG: The floor is yours.

Tori: So when we went to the Island's End, we got an advantage... we told some of you what it was, but I'm sure after some talking... everyone here probably knows what it is.

Wyatt: Crap, I forgot about that.

Tori: We were kind of hoping for that... well tonight's the last round that we can use it, so we are going to be choosing one of the two teams to go up to Temple.

PG: Ok, I can confirm indeed that Brown has an advantage that lets them choose one of the two teams going to Temple. Who are you guys going to send and why?

Micah: We have no hard feelings towards this team... it's just the way the alliances worked out. And even though there was a bit of mistrust today, we stick true to our allies...

Tori: We're sorry, but we're sending the Green Team.

Wyatt: d**n... but it's ok. I get it.

Wyatt: I'm not mad that they chose us... I saw that coming. It just kind of sucks, on the one day that we felt so good about everything. And we were literally just celebrating making the final 4 with Purple! But we forgot about that Island's End advantage... Oh well, looks like we're just going to have to conquer another Temple of Fate. Lucky for us we're good at that.

PG: Okay Green Team... no strangers to the Temple of Fate... but you need some opponents. Back to the Temple Mission winner... this time you only have to choose one team to go up. Do you know who you will choose?

Willow: Well... originally we were going to send up two of their alliance. That's obvious. But uh... Green, do you guys have a preference?

Jasmine: It's your choice guys... whatever you choose, we are fine with.

Nolan: Looks at Willow and they both nod. We are going to send up who we feel are the biggest threats out here...

Willow: Blue Team, we're sorry.

A few teams look shocked, especially Blue and Brown.

Devyn: You... don't want to send up the team that is taking the power away from you?

Willow: They paid for an advantage fair and square... you guys are a physical powerhouse. No hard feelings.

Tori: I'm SHOCKED. Like... we just took some of your power away from you... If I was in your shoes I would have sent us. Wow, was not expecting that... But, I'm happy about it!

PG: Alright, after a crazy turn of events... tonights Temple of Fate is going to be Green VS Blue. You have the rest of the afternoon to pack your bags, say your goodbyes, and I will see you tonight at Temple!

Camera shows the 5 teams walking back towards camp. Shows Brown, Green and Purple talking.

Tori: I'm really sorry about this guys... it was either we go up against our allies, or take a bit of control of our fate.

Wyatt: Hey... don't sweat it... It's all part of the game. I'm not mad, I just wasn't expecting it.

Nolan: We would have done the same exact thing in your position.

Tori: Thanks guys... Good luck tonight at temple Green!

Tori and Micah hug Green team and walk away.

Jasmine: Oh how the table's have turned yet again...

Willow: No kidding. Even when we're on top, we still get thrown a curveball.

Wyatt: Smirks. At least you guys haven't had to see a Temple of Fate yet.

Nolan: Wow, if you guys win tonight... you'll be tied with Chase and Elsie's record from last season.

Jasmine: Laughs. Yeah, but their first Temple was at Final 5... our third temple is at Final 5.

Wyatt: Hey, I'm not thinking that's something to be proud of.

Nolan: Maybe you'll be breaking records this season!

Nolan: It's sad... we won today's mission, and our alliance should have been safe and heading to the final 4 together. But with the twist, we are risking losing our closest friends out here. Not that they're any strangers to Temple... hopefully they can do what they do best, send Blue Team home, and then we make up half of the Final 4! Because if they go home... Willow and I are in big trouble.

Camera shows Devyn and Veronica packing their bags in the treehouse.

Devyn: I'm sorry I've been so on edge today...

Veronica: It's okay, I get it... we were in such a good spot... and yet here we are.

Devyn: Just frustrating. I feel like we got screwed for no reason.

Veronica: Well, all I can say is take that anger and let's use it at Temple to win!

Devyn: Alright, theoretically maybe we shouldn't have started putting our triangles on the Red Team in the mission... but they really pissed me off by choosing Purple to go next in the order. I don't care that they're your friends... we're your alliance. You should be looking out for us. If we come back from Temple tonight... I'm definitely watching out for them. Trust is broken.

Camera shows all the teams outside the treehouses saying their goodbyes.

Willow: Good luck to both of you... but I think we all know who I want to win.

Veronica: Yes we do Laughs. No hard feelings.

Devyn: But we're taking your friends out.

Wyatt: Big words for someone who hasn't been to Temple yet!

Devyn: What can I say? It's time for a new champion to step in.

Camera shows Purple and Green hugging, as Brown and Blue hug. Red stands by awkwardly. Then everybody goes in for one big group hug.

Tori: Remember guys... it's just a game!

Jasmine: Love you guys!

Camera shows Green and Blue walking off into the sunset, then pans to both teams walking into the Temple of Fate and standing behind their podiums.

PG: Blue Team... welcome to the Temple of Fate. Green Team, welcome back. You guys are becoming veterans of this place.

Wyatt: We sure are PG!

PG: Two teams stand before me, but one of you is about to fall victim to the elements. 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 sixth team eliminated from Endurance Bloodlines. Everybody understand?

Both teams nod.

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

Devyn: What are you leaning towards?

Veronica: Honestly, it's a crap shoot. Let's do water.

Both teams write down their element, 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: Green Team, you picked Fire. Blue Team, you picked Water. Water puts out the Fire... that's one point for you Blue.

Wyatt: Nothing new...

Jasmine: We always lose the first round. Laughs

PG: This is true. Either way, if Blue wins this round... they head back into the game. Green, if you win... it's all tied up. Go ahead and write down your next elements.

Jasmine: I feel like they wont stick with the same choice...

Wyatt: Right, so let's stick with Fire.

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

PG: Alright, may the elements please rise!

Both elements rise. Both teams react.

PG: Oh! Green Team stuck with their choice of Fire... and Blue Team stuck with their choice of Water. Once again, Water put the Fire out... Blue, you're heading back into the game!

Blue Team hugs in celebration.

Devyn: We did it!

Veronica: Woohoo!

Blue notices Green upset, and runs over to them and hugs them.

Devyn: You guy's played an amazing game!

Veronica: Yeah, keep your head up. You have so much to be proud of.

Jasmine: Wiping a tear away. We beat out Orange!

Wyatt: Laughing. Yeah, that was the main goal. Good luck you guys.

Devyn: Thank you!

PG: Green Team, you guys survived two temples... but unfortunately, your luck runs out tonight. You played a great game, but it's time for you to head out.

Wyatt: Thank you PG.

Shows Wyatt and Jasmine waving to Blue as they walk over to the fire pit and stand behind it.

Wyatt: Wow, we really did play a great game. Constantly got thrown all the disadvantages in the game, and still made it to the Final 5.
Jasmine: Yeah, it was really nice. We came in as super close cousins, and we're leaving even close. Hey! You barely even picked on me out here!
Wyatt: Sorry, was a bit busy focusing all my efforts on Paulie and Holly...
Jasmine: Oh I'm not complaining! Something just tells me it's going to be back to the same old thing when we get back home...
Both Laugh.

Wyatt and Jasmine fade behind the fire. Camera pans back to PG and the Blue Team.

PG: You guys took out the Temple of Fate champions...

Devyn: There's a new champion in town!

PG: It's true... you guys are the only team left in the game that's been up here.

Veronica: Let's not make this a habit PG...

PG: Hey, that's not up to me! Laughs. Head on back to camp guys.

Camera shows the two shadows of Devyn and Veronica appearing in the distance as they come towards camp.

Jacob: Who do we have here?

Veronica: It's us!

Micah: Oh wow, it's BLUE!

Everyone runs over to Blue and hugs them. Purple then step back and look worried.

Nolan: Our only real allies are gone... and we are left with what was once a strong 3 team alliance. Not sure how strong it is now, but I'm sure hoping Willow's bond with Skye is strong enough. Because if now... it's going to be a tough road ahead for us!

Episode 10: Falling Apart

Camera shows Willow and Skye on the beach.

Skye: Are you doing okay? I feel bad that you lost your allies...

Willow: Well, it really does suck. At least I still have you.

Skye: Aw, you'll always have me. Friends for life.

Skye: Willow and I have had... a bit of a rocky friendship to say the least. I got caught up with my alliance, and she was caught up with her game. But at the end of the day, I want to ply with her. It just sucks that I've made deals with Blue and Brown, and that Jacob is so close to Tori... we're in a bit of a tough spot.

Willow: I know you have your own game to play... but just know, I'm not coming after you guys. We're after Blue and Brown.

Skye: I appreciate that. I will do my best to look out for you... but it's just going to be hard with the whole Jacob and Tori thing.

Willow: Just do what you can. I'm not expecting too much...

Willow: Just little old me, down on the bottom again. Losing Green really sucks. They were the only ones I knew had my back, and now it's pretty clear that we're in it for ourselves. As much as Skye say's she'll try and look out for me, there's no way Jacob's going to choose to keep us over Tori, so I'm pretty much expecting to have to win every mission from here on out or deal with the consequences of losing.

Camera shows PG walking towards the Treehouses.

PG: Hey everybody, it's the time again... gather around!

All 4 teams assemble from different locations, and sit in front of PG on the Treehouse steps.

PG: Wow... only a small group of you left. As you know, Green Team was sent home last night... but they left a letter. Nolan, you guys seemed close... how about you read the letter today?

PG passes the letter in a bottle to Nolan, who opens it and begins reading the letter.

"Hey guys! Congratulations to all of you for making it to the Final 4. You've all proven you definitely deserve it, and as much as we wish we were sitting in your guy's spot... you all earned it, and we are proud of you all. Just like the Green Team last season, we fought through 3 Temple of Fate's... but unlike them, we couldn't come out alive from our 3rd one... so here we are... no hard feelings.

Red Team, definitely the underdogs of this game... and we live a good underdog story! You're the only team left in the game that has yet to win a mission, and yet you're sitting comfortably in the lead with 4 pieces. Funny how that works. You're both extremely nice, and we wish you all the best... try and win a mission! Prove why you're out there!
Brown Team, you guys are pretty cool. Micah, you've got a bit of temper... gotta tone that dow a little bit. Other than that you both are great, we wish you all the best. No hard feelings for sending us up, we would've done the same thing.
Blue Team, we hate you for ruining our winning streak! Just kidding, it's all good. You are both great people... and honestly probably the strongest team left out here. Sucks that we were never really on the same page, but hey, that's how the game goes.
Purple Team, our story all stared with that Right to Stay advantage... and how us and Yellow chose you to give it to because you seemed weak. But man, have you proved us wrong! You guys are a serious force to be reckoned with out there, and although you might be down in numbers... we still have faith that you'll take it all the way and prove our alliance proud! You guys have shows us true Friendship, as well as Courage in the game... and we hope this little boost gives you the edge you need to take it to the end. Our pieces are yours! Show us what you've got! We're rooting for you.

It's been an incredible experience of ups and downs... mostly ups, and you guys have provided us with so much love! Make it an interesting end game please! No one likes a boring game.

Love, Jasmine and Wyatt."

PG: Well Purple Team, that puts you tied in the lead with Red Team with 4 pieces each. Blue Team's right behind in second with 3 pieces... and Brown is at the bottom with their 1 piece. Today's going to give you the chance to change that though. No tricks up my sleeve today, you will be playing in an Endurance Mission. You have the rest of the morning to relax and hang out... I'll see you in the afternoon for your mission!

PG walks off as everyone spreads out. Camera shows Tori and Jacob talking.

Jacob: You're not mad at me, are you?

Tori: Well I'm not thrilled that you guys drove a wedge in our alliance, not going to lie. But no... I'm not mad.

Jacob: I didn't mean for it to be like this... if I had known it was going to piss Blue off this much, I wouldn't have let Skye get her way.

Tori: I mean, I understand she's friends with Willow and everything... but in a game like this, you need to weight out your friendships and your alliances. She basically picked a side... and it wasn't with us.

Jacob: You know I would never do anything to hurt you in this game. I have your back.

Tori: Oh I know. I trust you... I just don't know about your sister.

Jacob: I wont let that happen again, I promise.

Tori: You can tell me that all you want. I have your back no matter what... but you've got to convince Blue... and Micah.

Jacob: Let's gather the troops then...

Jacob: Things are either going to go really great for us from here out, or they're going to crash and burn so fast. I have no allegiance to Purple... but Skye does... and she's my partner, so I have to back her up. But she also has to realize that we have an alliance with two other teams that are going to keep us safe... but if we continue to go against them, they're going to take us right out.

Camera shows Blue, Brown, and Red all in the treehouse.

Jacob: I just want to start off by saying I'm sorry for what happened at the Temple Mission...

Micah: It's one thing to say you're sorry... but it's another thing to make sure it doesn't happen again.

Veronica: Where do you guys lie...? I mean, if you guys want to be with Purple it's cool... I get it... but don't tell us one thing, then do another.

Skye: Well, I want to be with you guys... but I also really like Willow!

Devyn: THERE'S 4 TEAMS LEFT IN THE GAME! YOU CAN'T BE WORKING WITH EVERYONE!

Jacob: Hey, don't yell at my sister like that!

Veronica: Yeah, tone it down Devyn...

Devyn: I'm just saying you can't work with every single team! You have to make a choice.

Skye: Well... that's... it's going to be hard.

Micah: So you're basically saying you're working with Willow.

Jacob: We're working with you guys... but... you have to understand they're friends.

Devyn: Oh we understand... you made that very clear in the last mission.

Devyn: This is never going to work. They're being complete idiots. You can have your friends, I don't care... but at the end of the day, if you told me you're going to be loyal to me, I expect you to be loyal to me. Don't lie to my face.

Devyn: I've said what I've had to say... We'll see how this plays out.

Camera shows everyone dispersing from the treehouse, leaving Tori and Micah.

Tori: Well... that went horribly.

Micah: Look Tori, I get you have a little thing going on with Jacob... but at some point we're going to have to make a choice.

Tori: We've been with Blue from the beginning... I'm not turning my backs on them.

Tori: I'm literally watching my alliance crash before my eyes. I thought we could all work through this, but it's pretty clear Blue and Red won't be working together... and it's hard to say, but if I have to choose between the two... I'm going to pick the team that has supported me since the beginning. And I just really hope Jacob can understand that...

Camera shows Purple talking on the beach.

Willow: I feel like if Red wins today, we must have a chance at not getting the samadhi.

Nolan: I hope you're right, but I'd rather go in just expecting that we have to win or else we are getting it.

Willow: It's pretty much all we can do at this point.

Nolan: We got this! High fives.

Nolan: We're basically in a win, or go home situation. Willow can think Skye's on our side all she wants, but I don't want to put my faith in that. We have to go out guns blazing today, and expect that if we don't win, we are the target. We've won twice before, we can do it again.

Camera shows all 4 teams walking onto the beach and assembling in front of PG.

PG: Welcome back to the Mission Beach. Today you are competing in an Endurance Mission... and this late in the game, the Samadhi and Island's End are more important than ever. You want these powers...

All 4 teams smile and look confident.

PG: Today's mission is called Balance Race, and here's how it works. You will be playing this game as individuals. Over the water, there are 8 balance beams. You will start on one end of the balance beam, and when I say go you will race across the beam. First 5 players to reach the other side move onto the next round. We will continue this until only one person is left standing. That person will win for their team the Discipline piece, as well as the Samadhi and a trip to the Island's End! Everyone swim on out, get into position and we will get started!

Camera shows all 8 contestants swimming out to the beams. Then pans to them all standing on top.

PG: Everybody is in position... and we are about to begin Round 1. Keep in mind, if you fall off... you are out! On your marks, get set, GO!

All 8 get on their balance beam, Devyn and Micah both moving fast. Everyone taking a slower approach.

PG: Devyn and Micah wasting no time. They are across... 5 spots remain! Willow is looking very wobbly!

Camera shows both Skye and Willow moving slowly and wobbling.

PG: Veronica is now across... and so is Nolan!

Camera shows Tori almost slipping as she leaps for the final platform.

PG: Tori almost falls off... but she makes it at the exact same time as Jacob!

Jacob: True love!

Tori: I don't know about that.

Shows Willow and Skye both still on the balance beams.

PG: Both of the younger girls clearly struggling...

Nolan: Come on Willow, you got this!

Jacob: Skye, make a leap for it! You're close enough!

Skye: What? I... I don't know...

Skye makes a leap for the platform, and barely lands.

PG: And Skye is the last person to arrive! Willow, you're out!

Willow: I'm sorry Nolan! Falls in the water.

Willow: Way to go Willow... we just finished talking about how this was do or die, and here I am... first one out. Great... just great. I'm such a failure.

Camera shows the remaining 7 at the start of their beam.

PG: Alright, this round only 6 of you will move on. Ready, set, GO!

Micah and Devyn both once again run across their balance beams and make it. Veronica follows right behind.

PG: 3 are already across... 3 spots left.

Jacob and Tori both make it across.

PG: Only Nolan and Skye left out there.

Willow: Come on Nolan, you got this!

Shows Skye very slow and wobbly, and Nolan reaches the final platform.

PG: And just like that, Skye is out...

Skye drops into the water, and swims back to shore. Camera pans to the remaining 6 at the start.

PG: We are looking for 5 this time! Ready, set, GO!

Camera shows Micah and Devyn sprinting again, but as soon as Micah touches the beam he falls off.

Micah: Crap! I slipped!

PG: Micah is out... all you have to do is get across and you'll move into the next round!

Devyn makes it across fast, followed by Jacob, and then Veronica.

Micah: Just take your time Tori! Just have to get across!

Shows Nolan and Tori both moving slowly, but eventually reaching the end.

PG: And we are down to 5. Blue Team has both their members still in! Red is down to Jacob, Purple is down to Nolan, and Brown is down to Tori! Only 4 will move on... Ready, set, GO!

Devyn once again sprints across and makes it.

PG: 3 more spots!

Jacob and Veronica both make it across. Camera pans to both Nolan and Tori moving slowly.

Micah: Tori! Pick up speed a little bit!

Tori speeds up and jumps to the platform, as Nolan jumps right behind her.

PG: Oh! Very close finish! But Tori beat out Nolan... Nolan you're out!

Nolan: d**nit!

Willow: It's okay Nolan... we'll... figure something out.

PG: Purple Team is now out... we are down to 4, and only 3 will move on. Ready, set, GO!

Devyn runs across yet again and makes it. Followed closely behind by Veronica and Jacob.

PG: Everyone speedy fast this round, except Tori... who is barely halfway across. You're out!

Tori falls into the water, and swims back to shore.

PG: Brown Team is out, and this round we are looking for 2 people to make it... if those two are Devyn and Veronica, this mission will be over. Ready, set, GO!

Devyn speeds across and makes it again. Veronica and Jacob are moving neck and neck.

PG: Who is it going to be?

Both jump, Veronica lands right before Jacob.

PG: Veronica makes it by half a second... Blue Team wins!

Veronica: Oh my god, we did it!

Camera shows Veronica and Devyn hugging and celebrating.

Jacob: Good job guys!

Camera pans to all 4 teams in front of PG on the beach.

PG: Very competitive mission today guys... in the end, Blue Team... you dominated! You didn't just have one of you make it all the way, both of you beat out every single person here. You guys are beasts!

Everyone claps as Blue Team is smiling.

PG: You guys win the Discipline piece... tying you with Red, and Purple for the lead in this game with 4 pieces each. You also have the all important decision of who will receive the samadhi, and thus in turn get a huge disadvantage in the next Temple Mission. And you also get to choose any team, including yourself, to go to the Island's End... and unlike last time, this time there is a huge advantage awaiting at a cost. You'll have the rest of the afternoon to figure out these decisions... I'll see you later at the Circle of Decision.

Camera shows all 4 teams walking away from PG. Shows Brown and Blue celebrating back at camp, and all sharing hugs.

Micah: You guys did amazing! Good work!

Veronica: Thanks, really glad one of us won.

Tori: Are you guys going to give the samadhi to Purple?

Devyn: Honestly, we're pretty much 50/50 right now...

Tori: Come on guys... you have to.

Devyn: Hey, we didn't try to run your decision when you guys won... don't try and run ours please.

Micah: Just saying, we have to do what's in the best interest of the alliance right now.

Veronica: Who says the best interest isn't giving it to Red?

Veronica: I don't want to turn on people who are supposed to be in our alliance... but I think Red's made it pretty clear who their loyalties lie with. I have a gut feeling they would have given the samadhi to us if they won today.

Tori: I just don't think it would be very smart to give it to the team who has been working with us... I have Jacob. Trust me.

Devyn: That's just it. YOU have Jacob... we have no idea whether they would be loyal to us though.

Veronica: At the end of the day, we are going to make a decision that is best for us. We KNOW Purple is against us... but we have no idea where Red lies. And honestly, I think it's worst to have an unknown.

Micah: Yup... the alliance has fully fallen apart. They still have our backs at least which is good. But to see them turn against Red, it's an eye opener. But honestly... this might not be the worst thing for Tori and I. If they do this, then Red is going to target Blue... but Jacob is never going to target Tori. And I don't think Blue would ever target us either... we could kind of steer clear from this all.

Tori: And Island's End?

Devyn: Well I think that's pretty obvious... we'll send ourselves.

Veronica: Yeah. You guys only have 1 piece, so I feel like you wont even be eligible for whatever get's offered.

Micah: That's a fair point.

Camera shows Red Team talking.

Jacob: Talk about a bad time to turn Blue Team against us...

Skye: No kidding. We just had to go and make the strongest team out here angry at us.

Jacob: Hey, need I remind you... I did this for you, and to keep your friend happy.

Skye: I know, and I appreciate that.

Jacob: Are best bet right now is that Tori can talk some sense into them...

Tori walks over to Red.

Jacob: And here comes the bearer of some good news!

Tori: Not quite... they said it's a toss up. They're about 50/50 between you and Purple.

Skye: All because of one stupid mission!

Tori: It's not just because of one stupid mission... you guys pretty much told them you would choose Purple over them!

Skye: What are you talking about? We never did that.

Tori: When we talked earlier today and you basically didn't give an answer on if you would continue working with us? That's where it all went wrong.

Jacob: You know I would never turn against you Tori.

Tori: Yes but I'm not the one in power right now! It doesn't matter what I think!

Tori: I like this guy so much, but he's really making this game difficult for me. I don't know if it's him, or him just doing whatever Skye wants... but it's ruining everything and putting me in a really awkward position. Like yeah, I'm still safe... but I don't to see my boy- uh... my friend get the samadhi.

Camera shows all 4 teams meeting PG at the Circle of Decisions and sitting on the logs in front.

PG: Welcome back once again to the Circle of Decisions. After a competitive mission today, Blue Team once again finds themselves in the power seat.

Devyn: And boy does it feel good PG!

PG: I bet it does. But with great power, comes great responsibility. Who have you decided to give the samadhi to and why?

Veronica: Honestly... it was a bit harder than we expected. After... events that happened at the last temple mission... It's left us questioning some people's loyalties.

Devyn: But at the end of the day, even though their loyalties are left being questioned... we made a deal long ago, and we are sticking to it. So we are giving the samadhi to the Purple Team!

Nolan: It's cool... we expected it.

Nolan: Just as we expected... this is probably going to be the new normal now. If we don't win, we will get whatever disadvantage there is. Today it's the samadhi, next time it will be a trip to Temple. But all we have to do is win, and the tides will turn... just you wait.

PG: Ok Purple Team, you have been given the samadhi. Step on up and let's find out what awaits you inside.

Purple walks up to PG, takes the samadhi, and Nolan smashes it open.

Nolan: It's a rope, with a knot.

PG: That means whatever the next temple mission is, you will have extra knots to work with. You'll find out exactly what that means at the next Temple Mission.

Willow: Alrighty!

Purple Team takes a spot back on their log.

PG: And everything comes back to you again Blue... who are you sending to the Island's End?

Veronica: We are going to be sending ourselves.

PG: Alright, Purple Team has received the samadhi... and Blue Team will be going to the Island's End. Here's a map, head on out... and I'll see you all at the next Temple Mission!

Camera shows 3 teams walking in one direction, as Blue Team walks in the opposite direction towards the Island's End.

Devyn: Please, please have something good for us!

Veronica and Devyn approach the podium at the Island's End. Veronica picks up the note and begins reading it.

Veronica: "Welcome to The Islands End. As you know, you are being tempted with an advantage. But it will cost you. This advantage guarantees you a spot in the Final 3. That means, whether you win or lose, you cannot be sent to the Temple of Fate" No way... that's crazy!

Devyn: Oh wow... that must come at a steep price!

Veronica: "If you wish to accept this advantage, you must give up 3 pyramid pieces."

Devyn: Yeah... that's pretty steep.

Veronica: That's almost all of our pieces!

Devyn: But... guaranteed final 3! That's crazy cool!

Veronica: We finally just got our fourth piece, and are tied for the least... but if we take this advantage, and lose 3 of our pieces... we're going to be tied for last place. That's a tough call to make.

Episode 11: Playing With Fire

Camera pans to Veronica and Devyn at the Island End's podium, part way through reading the note.

Veronica: "Whether you win or lose, you cannot be sent to the Temple of Fate. If you wish to accept this advantage, you must give up 3 pyramid pieces."

Devyn: Yeah... that's pretty steep.

Veronica: That's almost all of our pieces!

Devyn: But... guaranteed final 3! That's crazy cool!

Devyn: Instantly my mind just goes straight to... FINAL 3! WE DID IT! Like seriously, there's no better offer than that. Straight on through to the final 3 without a worry in the world. And then I'm like wait... if we make it to the final 2 without any pieces, we're screwed.

Veronica: It's definitely something to discuss... it's not as simple as just going for it.

Devyn: Well let's look at it this way. If we don't do it, what are the chances we make it into the final 3?

Veronica: Well honestly I feel like the chances of us winning the next Temple Mission are pretty darn high.

Devyn: I also feel like if Brown wins, we have a good chance of not getting sent.

Veronica: You're sure Tori would send Jacob over us?

Veronica: I think the most difficult part about this is not knowing what the other teams would do if they won. We've been with Brown since the very beginning, but Tori's been so close to Jacob... I can't help but feel there's a chance she would save him over us. But is it worth giving up 3 pieces... and our lead... for a chance that Brown would betray us?

Camera shows Blue Team walking by the piece poles on their way back to camp. As they pass, camera zooms in on Blue's pole, with all 4 pieces still there.

Devyn: At the end of the day, we're banking on the fact that we're the strongest team out here. Purple Team is the only other team out here to win 2 missions, but with the samadhi... it's going to be really difficult for them to beat us. And worst comes to worse, hopefully Brown Team wins and decides to stick to their word. It's a huge risk, but we decided that keeping our pieces is more important at this point.

Camera shows all teams coming out to greet Blue as they return.

Veronica: As you can see, all our pieces are on our pole. No surprise advantages coming at any of you, so don't worry.

Micah: What did they offer you?

Veronica: It was a guaranteed spot in the Final 3.

Nolan: Holy, and you didn't take it? Are you guys crazy?

Devyn: They wanted 3 of our pieces in exchange for it.

Nolan: I would give them all 14 pieces for that!

Nolan: Are you... are you nuts? A guaranteed spot in the Final 3, and you're going to turn that down? I'd be all over that, I don't care how many pieces you want for that. I'd even trade in my Nintendo Switch for that. But seriously. Those pieces aren't going to do you any good anyways unless you make it to the Final 2! Can someone please make us that offer? We will take it hands down.

Camera shows Purple Team and Skye talking.

Nolan: I'm sorry, but they made a dumb decision.

Willow: No kidding... come on people. Final 3! Not even having to worry about anything?

Skye: There's no telling what's going to happen with only 4 teams left... I would've gone for it.

Nolan: Especially after causing trouble with you guys...

Skye: Maybe they're just so confident that they are going to win the Temple Mission.

Willow: Well then I sure hope their cockiness ends up biting them in the butt.

Skye: How good would it be if they went home after not taking the deal. Laughs.

Skye: If I were Blue... and after everything that happened with out "alliance" yesterday, I would have taken that... hands down. If Purple wins, you know they're sending you... If we win, sorry to say... but we're sending you. And if you're holding out hope that Brown's going to keep you safe, I have one word for you... Torcob. If anything, I'd say Blue is actually in the worst position right now.

Camera shows Micah, Veronica and Devyn talking on the beach.

Devyn: Dude, I swear if after us not taking this deal... you guys win, and you let her send us over her boy... I'm going to be furious.

Micah: Man, you need to relax. We've been with you since the beginning.

Veronica: Just saying, it would be a huge slap in the face if gave up the chance to slide into the final 3, and you guys backstabbed us

Micah: Here come's Blue, strong arming me and demanding we don't send them to Temple. You guys are the idiots that didn't take the guaranteed final 3, not me. Don't come back all paranoid and make me feel like this is my fault somehow. If Tori decides she wants to keep Jacob in over you guys... I'll support her 100%. We're late in the game, and you think we want to keep the biggest physical threat here? Our alliance got us to Final 4... but if it has to end here, so be it. I won't lose any sleep over it. 

Camera shows Tori and Jacob on the hammocks.

Tori: They seem so sure they're going to win today. That's ballsy...

Jacob: Or maybe they're hoping you guys win and keep them.

Tori: I'm just going to be honest with you... if it comes down to that, it's going to be a really hard decision.

Jacob: I get it. I wont be mad if you win and send us.

Tori: You wont? 

Jacob: Well I mean... I'm not going to be happy, that's for sure.

Tori: Way to make me feel bad.

Jacob: Hey, you haven't won yet. Let's not think about this right now.

Jacob: As much as she's telling me it's going to be a difficult choice for her if she wins, it's going to be just as difficult for me if I win. Of course I want to keep Tori safe... but Skye is working with Willow. One of us would have to make a sacrifice, and I don't know who would win out in that scenario. Almost makes me not want to try today Laughs. ALMOST!

Camera shows the Final 4 teams walking onto the beach and assembling in front of PG.

PG: Welcome back to the mission beach. Today you are competing in yet another Temple Mission and you know exactly what that means. By the end of the day, 2 teams will be sent to the Temple of Fate... and only one will make their way into the final 3. Are you ready to get to it?

All 4 teams nod and look a little nervous.

PG: Today's mission is called "Playing With Fire", and here's how it works. You guys will run out to a boat, jump inside and begin to paddle towards a platform in the water. Once you get to this platform, one of you will need to jump onto it, climb the ladder and grab a torch at the very top of the ladder. Purple Team, because you have the samadhi, this torch will be tied to a bunch of knots that you will need to untie before continuing. Once you have the torch, get back in your boat and paddle out to the cauldron of fire in the middle of the water, light your torch, and make your way back to the beach. First team back to the beach with the lit torch, and lights their fire here on the beach wins the Temple Mission and will send 2 teams to the Temple of Fate. Everybody understand?

The 8 contestants nod.

PG: Alright, everybody stand behind the starting line and we will begin!

Camera shows the 4 teams standing behind the starting line all lined up.

PG: Alright everybody is in position and knows what the stakes are. On your marks, get set, GO!

Camera shows the 4 teams running towards the boats.

Nolan: Willow jump in the front, I'll steer from the back!

All 4 teams jump into their boats and begin to paddle out.

PG: This is going to be the first time we've tested you guys with your paddling abilities. Let's see who comes out on top!

Camera pans to the Red Teams boat.

Jacob: One, two, three STROKE! One, two, three STROKE!

Skye: We got this!

PG: Right off the bat, Red Team is working very well together!

Camera pans to the Brown Teams boat as they're spinning around in circles.

Micah: TORI STOP! We need to paddle on the same side!

Tori: No we need to paddle on opposite sides!

Micah: What are you talking about. How does that make sense?

PG: Brown is spending the first little bit of this mission arguing.

Camera pans to both Purple and Blue's boats paddling strong.

Devyn: Nice work Veronica! We are doing well!

Willow: Keep it up Nolan! We are in the lead!

PG: Purple Team has the early lead at this point... followed by Red, with Blue closely behind. Brown Team still trying to figure out how to paddle.

Camera shows the Purple Team approaching the first platform.

Nolan: Do you want to climb the ladder? Or should I?

Willow: I'm scared of heights... but I'm really good with knots.

Nolan: Well time to conquer your fear because I suck at knots!

PG: Purple is the first team to reach their platform, extending their lead. Looks like Willow will be climbing the ladder... keep in mind, in order to release their torch, Purple is going to have to untie some knots because of the samadhi!

Camera shows Willow slowly climbing up the ladder.

Nolan: You got this Willow! Just keep looking up!

Willow: Don't look down... don't look down... don't look down... Oh gosh.

Camera shows Red Team approaching the platform as Jacob jumps out and begins climbing.

PG: Jacob seems to be having no trouble on the ladder... and they don't have any knots to untie, so it seems like Red is about to take over the lead.

Blue Team reaches their platform as Jacob passes Willow on his ladder. Brown Team is shown finally paddling straight.

Micah: About time we figured this out...

Camera shows Jacob grabbing his torch and jumping off the ladder into the water, as Veronica and Willow are climbing their ladders.

PG: Red Team is extending their lead now... Veronica and Willow are still climbing their ladders as Jacob is about to get back into his boat.

Camera shows Willow reaching the top of the ladders as she begins to untie the rope. Veronica is about halfway up as Jacob climbs back into his boat.

PG: Willow now has a series of knots to untie before she can move on. Red Team now has to paddle their way to the fire, and light their torch.

Camera shows Brown Team reaching their platform as Micah jumps out. Veronica grabs her torch at the top of the ladder and jumps in the water. Red continues to paddle towards the cauldron.

PG: Blue Team has now passed Purple... Purple has gone from first to third, as this samadhi is proving a huge detriment to them.

Nolan: And a slight fear of heights.

Camera shows Veronica trying to get back into her boat but struggling as Red Team reaches their cauldron and lights their torch.

PG: Red Team now has their torch lift! They have to turn their boat around and paddle back to the beach! This could be a blowout at this point!

Camera shows Willow finally untying her torch as Micah is near the top of his ladder.

Nolan: Jump Willow!

Willow: Looking like she's about to jump, then fear. No way...

Camera shows Willow climbing back down the ladder as Micah grab his torch and jumps off.

PG: These ladders are higher than any structure we've used all season... so the fear is understandable! Purple Team has gone from first place to dead last.

Nolan: Whispering to himself. Temple here we come.

Camera shows Red Team almost at the beach as Blue Team lights their torch.

PG: Blue Team has just lit their torch, but at this point it wont even matter... this mission is all but won for the Red Team!

Camera shows Micah climbing back into his boat as Red's boat hits the sand. Both Skye and Jacob jump off and run on the beach.

Jacob: Do you want to light it?

Skye: I would love to!

Camera shows Skye running up to the Red Teams cauldron and lighting it, as both her and Jacob hug.

Jacob: We did it!

Skye: We finally won something!

PG: This mission is over! Everybody paddle back in.

Camera pans to the 4 teams standing on the beach in front of PG.

PG: Great mission everybody. It was a bit of a blowout, but the beginning stage was neck and neck... in the end, congratulations Red Team on your first win in the game!

Everybody claps as Jacob and Skye hug and smile.

PG: And a very important win this was... not only are you guaranteed a spot in the final 3, but you have the power to choose one team who will join you there. Meaning the other two teams will battle it out tonight at the Temple of Fate, and only one will return. You have the afternoon to figure out who that's going to be. I'll see you all later at the Circle of Decisions!

Devyn: I just want to say, congratulations on your win... 

Jacob: Thank you very much.

Devyn: It's pretty obvious you guys will be sending us up...

Veronica: Yeah, we don't want to scramble or anything... so we're just going to head to the beach and enjoy the rest of the afternoon.

Devyn: No hard feelings.

Devyn and Veronica hug Red as they leave the treehouse.

Jacob: I hope you guys realize this is pretty much an impossible decision between you two...

Micah: You could just send up yourselves.

Skye: We are not doing that!

Micah: Relax, it was just a joke.

Skye: Of all the missions to finally win something, it had to be this one. Don't get me wrong, I'm super happy that we are in the Final 3... but now we have to choose between my friend, and Jacob's girlfriend. This is going to be the toughest thing we've had to do all game, and I'm not looking forward to it.

Tori: I mean, I'm not here to guilt trip you guys... Jacob, what we have I think is stronger than this game.

Micah: Just keep in mind, we were your alliance out here... we had your back.

Willow: But... also remember on day 1 Skye... you, me and Aiden. We... we're more than an alliance. We're friends.

Jacob: Honestly, you both can make whatever cases you want... you both make good points. We just... have to think.

Nolan: We get it bro... no hard feelings.

Micah: Yeah, whatever you decide. Just remember who's had your back.

Micah: Hell yeah I'm going to be pissed if they sent us. Come on Jacob, that's your girl. You should be looking out for her no matter what... Not to mention we've always had your back out here. Think smart.

Camera shows Blue Team on the beach.

Devyn: That advantage is sounding pretty good right about now huh?

Veronica: Laughs. No kidding. But, there was no way of knowing this was going to happen...

Devyn: Yeah, of all the missions for Red to finally win something... it had to be this one.

Devyn: We had an opportunity to skate on through to the Final 3, no questions asked... and we took the risk and didn't accept it. Well now it's looking like that decision is going to bite us in the butts. We are 100% getting sent to Temple tonight, and there's nothing we can do about it. We just have to get mentally prepared. We've won Temple once, now we just have to do it again.

Camera shows Skye and Willow walking on the beach

Willow: Don't take this as an invitation to send us... but just know. Even if you do... we will still be friends.

Skye: Thanks... I don't want to lose your friendship.

Willow: Never. We are going to be friends for life, no matter what happens in this game! You know that.

Skye: Thank you. And I promise I'm going to do everything in my power to keep you safe tonight. But... it's going to be tough.

Willow: Don't worry, whatever you and Jacob decide is best for your game... I'll respect.

Willow: I definitely don't want to go up to Temple, but I don't see the point in threatening Skye and saying our friendship is on the line or anything like that. She's already having a tough time with this decision, and I don't want to make it any tougher. If we have to go up, we have to go up... and we'll go up fighting our hardest to get back. And if we don't come back, I'll be seeing Skye right after this game. Friends for life... love you!

Camera shows Tori and Jacob in the hammock.

Jacob: You know I really want to keep you guys in...

Tori: Well, you have the power to do so.

Jacob: Somehow Skye and I have to come to some sort of agreement... I just don't see how we're going to do it.

Tori: Look... I'm not going to be mad if you send us. There aren't many options and I get it... Micah on the other hand-

Jacob: No offence, but I don't care about Micah. I just don't want you to hurt.

Jacob: Let's be real, the only thing making this decision difficult is Tori. I'm likely never going to see Micah outside of this game, and honestly, he's kind of a hot head. I don't like that... I know he's Tori's brother and everything, but they've never really lived together... and it shows, they're complete opposites. If it was just Micah, I'd send him up no problem.

Tori: Can we just like... lay here and stop talking about it? I just want to enjoy my time with you.

Jacob: I like that idea.

Tori: I'm beyond stressed right now, but I just have to put that aside and try and keep calm. I'm sure if it was just Jacob making the decision, I would be safe... but it's him AND Skye so I get it's hard, and I don't want to pressure him into anything. If we go up, we go up... there's nothing I can say or do that's going to change that anymore.

Camera shows Red Team sitting on the beach and talking.

Jacob: So... what's the plan?

Skye: I don't think it really matters what we choose, someone's going to be hurt.

Jacob: Well if it doesn't matter, let's just send Purple.

Skye: Hey! That's not what I meant!

Jacob: I know, just joking. I think the best bet is to flip a coin.

Skye: Re- really? You think an important decision like this should be left to the flip of a coin?

Jacob: Well... you don't want to send Willow. I don't want to send Tori. I think a coin flip is pretty fair.

Jacob: At this point I think the only way we can figure this out is if it's a 50/50 coin flip. I'm not going to force Skye to send Willow... and I don't want to send Tori by choice. We will let the second team going to the Temple of Fate be decided... BY FATE!

Skye: Now the only concern is... where are we going to get a coin from?

Jacob: Hmm... good question.

Camera shows all 4 teams walking into the Circle of Decision and sitting on their logs in front of PG.

PG: Welcome back to the Circle of Decisions. Red Team, congratulations on your first win!

Skye: Thanks PG. It's nice to win.

Jacob: Well... kind of.

PG: Kind of?

Jacob: Well... it's nice to be in the final 3. But we're friends with all these guys... I wish we just didn't have to make this hard decision.

PG: I get that. And it is hard... but it has to be done. Who is the first team you will be sending to Temple, and why?

Skye: The first team we're going to send is the. We were in an alliance with you guys, but... it kind of fell apart. And we just have stronger connections on the other two teams, we're sorry.

Veronica: It's okay, no hard feelings.

PG: Ok, Blue Team will be heading back up to the Temple of Fate for their second time... now the question is, who will join them?

Jacob: Well... this is where things got difficult. I'm closer to Brown, and Skye is closer to Purple... so it was impossible... We were going to do a coin toss, but that's kind of hard with no coins out here...

PG: I had a feeling you were going to say that. If you guy's want, I have this special disk right here... Brown on one side, Purple on the other.

Skye: PG! You're a lifesaver!

Jacob: We would love to use that.

PG: Alright, come on up.

Jacob and Skye walks up, and Skye takes the disk.

PG: Before you guys flip it... Nolan, how do you feel about this being a flip of a coin decision?

Nolan: I'm not thrilled about it, but I totally get it. They've been stressed all day thinking about the decision, I think this is the fairest way to do it.

PG: Micah, same question.

Micah: I think it's crap. You've been given power... make a decision. Don't be a baby about it.

Tori: No! Do the flip. Don't listen to him.

Micah: Whatever...

PG: Alright Red Team, the floor is yours...

Jacob: She'll flip it... and whatever colour lands on top will be the team that we are sending up.

Skye: Here we go...

Skye throws the disk up in the air and everyone looks nervous as it lands.

Skye: Tearing up. Purple... I'm sorry.

Willow: It's okay...

Nolan: Fate has spoken!

Camera shows Brown looking happy, as Purple and Red share hugs.

Micah: I wish they would have had the balls to just make a decision themselves, but hey... I'm safe, and that's all that matters. Final 3 baby, here we come!

PG: And after a dramatic coin flip... Brown Team, congratulations. You join Red in the final 3... and tonights Temple of Fate has been set. Blue Team, Purple Team... you have the rest of the afternoon to pack your bags and say your goodbyes. One of you will not return from Temple. I'll see you there.

Camera shows the 4 teams walking back to camp. Immediately the camera pans to Tori and Jacob.

Tori: Congratulations on making me so nervous that I could hear my heart beating.

Jacob: Laughing That sounds pretty cute for some reason.

Tori: I guess... I'm just glad that's all over.

Jacob: I'm glad we're going to the Final 3 together! This is amazing!

Tori: Next stop... Final 2!

Jacob: And then I kick your butt, and you get second place.

Tori: Oh we'll just see about that!

Jacob: My four pyramid pieces are saying hello to your one piece.

Tori: Giggling I've seen bigger come from behind victories before.

Tori: I am so relieved that I don't have to go to Temple tonight. And I'm even more relieved that my time with Jacob isn't going to be cut short. At this rate, we have a 2 out of 3 chance of making it into the finals together, and that would be quite the showdown. 

Camera shows Nolan and Willow in the treehouse packing.

Willow: Our first time going up... I'm a little bit nervous.

Nolan: Yeah, me too... we've come this far. I don't want to go home this close to the end!

Willow: Let's just hope Fate suddenly decides to get on our side after betraying us at the coin flip.

Skye peaks her head in the treehouse door.

Skye: Are... you guys ok?

Willow: You don't have to talk from a distance... come inside and give us a hug!

Skye comes inside and hugs both Nolan and Willow.

Skye: I'm really sorry this is how everything turned out...

Nolan: Don't sweat it. We knew it was going to be a tough road for us to get to the finals.

Skye: I really hope you guys come back...

Willow: We hope so too.

Camera pans to the sun setting, as all the teams are outside the Treehouse saying their goodbyes.

Jacob: Good luck to both of you...

Veronica: Thanks! It should be a good battle.

Everyone joins in for one big group hug. As they break apart, Willow and Skye are left for a longer hug.

Skye: Crying. Please come back... I need you here.

Willow: I'm going to try my best. I'll see you soon ok?

Purple and Blue are seen walking off into the sunset.

Devyn: You know, I wouldn't want to be making this walk with any other team here.

Nolan: Is that a compliment or a diss?

Devyn: Laughs. A little bit of both I guess. Wouldn't want to be forced to talk to Red for this long... and wouldn't want to have to send our friends, Brown, home.

Willow: Wont have to send us home either... because we're sending you home.

Veronica: Confidence! I like it.

Veronica: It sucks that we're making this journey up to Temple, especially because it's kind of our own faults. We could have been in the Final 3 right now, but instead we chose to take a gamble. But hey... when we come back tonight, and are in the Final 3 with all 4 of our pieces still on our pole... we'll be laughing!

Camera shows both teams walking into the Temple of Fate and taking spots behind their podiums.

PG: Purple Team, welcome to the Temple of Fate! Blue Team... welcome back. One of you is about to join Red and Brown in the Final 3, while the other falls victim to the elements... it's close to the end guys, this is going to sting for one of you. 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 sixth team eliminated from Endurance Bloodlines. Everybody understand?

Both teams nod.

PG: Okay, then go ahead and write down your first element.

Willow: I like the idea of picking fire first.

Nolan: Burn them right from the start. I like it.

Both teams write down their element, 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! Purple Team, you picked Fire... Blue Team, you picked Wood. Fire burns the Wood, Purple Team, that's one point for you. One more and you're heading back in the game.

Devyn: Beginners luck!

Nolan: We'll just see about that.

PG: Go ahead and write down your next elements.

Veronica: Do you think they'll pick Fire twice in a row?

Devyn: Hard to say. I feel like usually people will switch it up.

Veronica: Well then let's stick with Wood and hope you're right.

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

PG: Alright, may the elements please rise!

Both elements rise. Both teams react.

PG: Purple Team, you picked Fire... Blue Team, you picked Wood. Neither of you switched, and once again Fire burns the Wood. Purple Team, you're in the Final 3!

Willow: Jumping up and down. YES! YES! YES!

Nolan: Hugging Willow. We did it!

Veronica: Good job you guys!

Purple Team runs over to Blue Team and hugs them.

Nolan: You guys played an amazing game... I hope you know that.

Devyn: Thank you... and I guess it wasn't beginners luck for you! Laughs.

Willow: You guys are seriously the strongest team I've ever seen!

Veronica: Thank you! I guess this is as far as strength alone will get us though.

PG: Blue Team, sorry to cut this short... but it's time for you to head out.

Purple and Blue share one last hug. Devyn and Veronica walk over to the fire pit and stand behind it.

Veronica: I do think out of all the teams still in the game, we were not only the strongest.. but we also played the best game.
Devyn: I think out downfall really was our alliance falling apart. Had that not happened, we would have been the final 3 together I think.
Veronica: Laughing. I think our downfall was not accepting the Island's End final 3 deal.
Devyn: Laughing. Yeah, in retrospect... that was probably a bad move.
Veronica: Oh well.. can't win them all. I guess it's back to reality.
Devyn: And back to us only seeing each other in school... it was really nice to hang out for a week and a half together.

Veronica and Devyn fade behind the fire. Camera pans to PG and the Purple Team.

PG: Fate may not have been on your side when it sent you up here... but it definitely came around tonight. Go ahead and head back to camp... and congratulations on making the final 3!

Willow: Thanks PG.

Camera shows the two shadows of Nolan and Willow appearing from the distance as they walk towards camp.

Micah: The girls short... it must be Purple!

Willow: Hey! Who are you calling short!

Skye: It is Purple!!!

Skye runs out towards Purple as everyone else follows behind.

Skye: I am so glad to see you!

Camera shows everyone hugging, then zooms in on Skye and Willow hugging and smiling.
