Come on in guys! Rob C voted out at Kraken's last Tribal Council. Down to seventeen. Beyond the halfway point!
Immunity is back up for grabs
Tonight's challenge is called...
Here's how it works:
Seven players on each tribe will be paired up against a member of the opposite tribe. Miki will be sitting out for Qaawan. That means each tribe will also be benching one more player, and can decide that throughout the day.
You and your opponent will go back and forth making bets as to how fast you believe you can complete a challenge. You'll say something along the lines of, "I can complete the task in [X] minutes. You'll fill in the blank with a time that you think you can complete to the minute, no seconds.
The next player will then rebuttle if they wish, and will bet an even lower time. The the first player will rebuttle, and so on.
Once one of you believes the other has bet too low, and cannot possibly beat the time they bet, you will challenge them instantly. You'll say something along the lines of "I challenge you to complete that". The betting is then over for the two of you.
The player who was challenged to do the challenge will then contact either myself or Brett when they're ready, and they'll begin the task. If they complete the task within the time they were challenged to, they'll score a point for their tribe. If they can't, the player who challenged them will score a point. The tribe that takes four of the seven points will win Immunity.
Bluffing will be key, along with knowing your limits and guessing the limits of your opponent. However, that last part may be tricky...
..because you will not know who your opponent is!
The betting will be done blind. Inside of you tribe camps there will be seven tables. Once the challenge begins, enter your camp and sit down at one of the seven tables by posting in the thread. Once you sit, it's locked.
Once an opponent from the opposite tribe sits at the same table in their camp that you sat at, your match has begun. The second player to sit at the table will begin the betting asap.
A moderator will appear soon. That person will be posting in your table to tell you your opponents latest bet as soon as possible. They will also alert you if you've been challenged.
Because this will be blind, bluffing will play a bigger role. You won't know if your opponent will be great at the task, or if it's something they might not usually excel at. All you can do is read into their bets, and take risks.
--------------------------------
Onto the actual task! It's the same task for all seven pairs. When you're challenged, contact one of us to begin.
You'll start off on a platform in the water by a puzzle station.
The first step is to complete an 80 piece jigsaw puzzle, with difficult piece edges. The images for each puzzle is different, so sharing your puzzle with your tribe mates is useless. When you're ready, you'll be given the link to the puzzle, and your time will start. Complete the puzzle quickly, take a screenshot, and post it in your confessional. You must then quickly move onto the second part. Your time won't stop.
After completing the puzzle, you'll dive off of the platform and swim along a rope, moving a buoy along the way. Once you bring the buoy to the shore, your time will stop.
You'll post the following:
"[NAME] swims along rope" 20 times
"[NAME] maneuevers bouy over wall" 1 time
"[NAME] swims along rope" 20 times
"[NAME] maneuvers bouy through ladder" 5 time
"[NAME] swims to shore" 10 times
"[NAME] places buoy on table" 1 time
Once you place your buoy, your time has stopped.
Your time starts when I create the thread in your confessional with the puzzle link, and ends the minute you place your buoy. That is the time you will place bets against your opponent to complete.
Ask questions below if you need to! It looks complicated but it's very straightforward.
If you're one of the seven competing, choose a table in your tribe camp as soon as possible. Your betting will begin to be moderated once your opponent has also sat. Please try to finish the betting portion as quickly as you can!
Survivor's ready?
GO!
