@Fulani (OG) @Hausa (OG) @Toubou (OG) @Zaghawa (OG) Before we get to your first challenge of the $eason, here is reminder to understand our #idol-token-system and the rules on transfer of money between players as posted in #treemail📬 on Day 1.
It was also mentioned at treemail that a money incentive related to the $ecret Quartet twist will be revealed today.
Good news: you could potentially become $4,800 richer when/if you hit merge in this game. There is a briefcase with $4,800 worth of poker chips assigned to each $ecret quartet. It will only be unlocked at merge and the poker chips in the case will be distributed equally to the surviving members of the quartet.
This means, if all 4 members in your quartet make it to merge, you will each receive $1,200. If 3 make merge, you will get $1,600 each and if it's 2, it'll be $2,400 each. Best case scenario, if you're the only member in your quartet to reach the merge, you will own the whole share of $4,800! (In the tragic event that all members in your quartet were voted out before the merge, producers get to keep your poker chips.)
That's it. There are no other advantages or disadvantages linked directly to the $Q twist.
Now, back to the reward challenge: today you're playing for called Why $o $erious! Yes, it's the same reward challenge we did in our last $eason (@$econd Chance) as we are hoping that you guys will be more creative and original than our alumni.
You will be competing against the other 3 tribes of 5 for the reward...
Wanna know what you are playing for?

![moneyclown moneyclown](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/735704850255577118.png)
Money is power in this game. You are playing to win extra poker chips worth up to $3,200! If your tribe comes in first place in this challenge, each of you will win $3,200 that will be added to your initial game balance of $50,000. Second place will get $1,600 each, third place will receive $800 each and nothing for the tribe that comes in last place.
In addition, one lucky member from the first-place winning tribe will receive a note from Oasis of Odds! Details will be shared at the end of this challenge.
Here's how this challenge works:
@Fulani (OG) @Hausa (OG) @Toubou (OG) @Zaghawa (OG) As a tribe of 5, you must work together to simply come up with a text-based joke. Our dearest $pectators will vote on the joke(s) that they find funny. The results will be based on the total number of votes your tribe receive. Your camp channel will be closed from being viewed by $pectators during this challenge so that they won't be spoilt of the greatest joke you write up at camp.
The joke you submit for this challenge:
1) must be posted in one single message (which means no longer than 2,000 characters, as per Discord limit),
2) must contain text only
3) must not contain any videos, photos, emojis or any other external links
4) must contain these three words: "$ahara", "Oasis" and "camel".
5) and must be ORIGINAL (if it was a direct copy/paste from the internet, you would be disqualified).
Your submission must be ready by 11 AM (EDT) tomorrow. To incentivize you to come up with a joke more quickly without overthinking, if you lock in your submission before 11 PM (EDT) tonight (~ 12 hours from now), you will get 12% boost to the number of votes you receive from our $pectators, which will increase the odds of your tribe coming in first place!
Once all 4 tribes have submitted their joke (by having at least 3 members to react to your final submission with ⭐ at your camp) , we will open up #fan-fav-poll🥰 for our professional judges (aka @ $pectators) to vote for the joke they find funny without knowing which joke came from which tribe.
Have fun working together as a tribe. Let's put a smile on everyone's face.

@Zaghawa (Expanded) @Toubou (Expanded)
Your first tribal immunity challenge is called Divide & Divine.
Since Day 1, you have been able to chat with 3 players via the private channel set up for your $ecret Quartet. One of them has become your tribemate while the other two are your opponents in today's challenge. You will be facing off against your $ecret partners on the other tribe to score a point for your tribe! There are 5 $ecret quartets in total. So 5 points are up for grabs and it takes at least 3 to win the tribal immunity idol to avoid going to the first tribal council of the $eason.
So how do you score a point for your tribe? Very simple; by buying as many raffle tickets (aka lottery ticket) as you are willing to and pray that one of the tickets you or your tribemate bought is the winning ticket in your quartet. Each ticket costs $16 to buy and everyone must buy at least 1 ticket in private. The more you buy, the better odds you will have in scoring a point for immunity.
At the end of the challenge, we will only reveal the total number of tickets bought and the number of points scored by each tribe. We will not share how many tickets you bought individually. And to avoid revealing the number of tickets bought by each $ecret quartet, the draws for the winning ticket will be held in a channel viewable by our $ubscribers but not the players (#highlights-for-subscribers).
![pandasip pandasip](https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/746191833926729790.gif)
Here's an example: there are 4 players in a quartet (A and B from Tribe T, C and D from Tribe Z). A spends $1600 to buy 100 tickets and B decides to buy 10 tickets while C and D buy 200 tickets each. @Desert Tortoise will then be used to randomly pick a winning numbered ticket out of 510 possible numbers (100+10+200+200). In this example, if the number picked by the bot is between 1 to 110, A and B will score a point for their tribe; if it's between 111 to 510, a point will be won by Tribe Z. Note that identities of the $ecret quartets will stay anonymous by referring to them using their lucky numbers (#deleted-channel, #deleted-channel, #deleted-channel, #deleted-channel, #deleted-channel).
You are free to discuss with your tribemates privately and negotiate openly with the other tribe at your $ecret quartet channel and/or #f20-immunity.
You have until 8PM (EDT) tomorrow to decide in your own private channel on how many raffle tickets you want to buy. May the odds be ever in your favor!

@Castaways For your second immunity challenge, we’re bringing back our modern classic challenge - Monopoly! While there are no dice, no game pieces, no houses or hotels, the spirit of the game and your overall goal of this game remains the same: Acquire as many properties as possible.
This particular challenge requires equal number of participants from each tribe. Hence, while Toubou was attending tribal council, Zaghawa was asked to vote anonymously for one of their own to sit out and head to the Oasis of Odds (Ooo) for at least the next 12 hours. Without revealing the vote tally, the Zaghawa member who received most nominations is Lavina! Lavina, please grab your bag and follow this map to get to OoO. While you are there on your own, you are not allowed to communicate with anyone via any public or private chats.
Back to the challenge, here’s how this version of Monopoly works:
➽ Each participant must bid on 3 tiles out of the 28 that are located on this Monopoly Board: Western $ahara Edition (see the image above).
➽ The 4 tiles at the corner are the “$elfish” tiles for individual items. The GO tile contains one Idol Token, the Community Chest offers up to 3 free clues on the idol roulette wheel in #idol-token-system while Jail and Chance contain covered items. Whoever bids the most on these tiles will NOT be announced. They will be notified in private.
➽ The remaining 24 colored tiles are property tiles with values ranging from 160 to 320 points, to be won by the highest bidder on each tile for their tribe.
➽ Like the board game, there is a bonus if your tribe bid on all 3 tiles in the same color zone. If all properties from the same color set are claimed by members from the same tribe, the total amount of points gained from those properties will double. For example: if all 3 orange properties are claimed by the same tribe, the total points gained for that tribe would be 1840 points (320x2 + 300x2 + 300x2).
The tribe that accumulates higher total points will win immunity while the tribe with lower points will attend tribal council to vote out one of their own. In the event of a tie in total score, the tribe with lower total spending on all tiles (including bids on the corner tiles) will win.
Note that your individual bid decisions will NOT be revealed. Total money spent by each tribe in this challenge will be revealed. The winning tribe for each property tile will be revealed without revealing the identity of the highest bidder of each tile.
Please post your bids in your decision channels by 8 PM (EDT) tomorrow using this exact format:
1. Bid [ $____ ] on the [ __ ] tile. (min: $1)
2. Bid [ $____ ] on the [ __ ] tile. (min: $1)
3. Bid [ $____ ] on the [ __ ] tile. (min: $1)

$eason 16 Episode 03 – Day 08
Final 18 Immunity Challenge
@Toubou (Expanded) @Zaghawa (Expanded) Come on in guys! Once again, tribal immunity is back up for grabs!
But first, I would like to inform you that my wonderful friend @martin who played in $urvivor 9: $ingapore and a great co-host for $eason 14 and 15 has decided to temporarily step down to focus on his studies. Being a university freshman in Singapore amidst the COVID-19 environment is no joke. We wish him all the best. <3
At the same time, I am pleased to welcome @Rain #RPC to officially join us as @Hosts! Rain has been an amazing exit interviewer since last $eason and has continued to contribute a lot to the $ucce$$ of $urvivor. Keep being awesome and wholesome, Rain. Fun fact: If you notice the hashtag in my nickname, RPC stands for Red Panda Club and Rain is the president of RPC!

With the $taff announcement done, let's get back to the challenge. Today, we have another fun $urvivor challenge for you to complete individually without discussing with anyone.
From now on until you have completed this challenge, you will be blindfolded $equestered. This means strictly no private communication between you and your tribemates until you have finished the challenge.
You will have to post an update at your camp to let your tribemates know that you have done the challenge. Once you have completed the challenge, you will no longer be sequestered and will be allowed to talk privately with your tribemates who have completed it. Do not chat privately with any players who haven't done it.
Essentially, as soon as you get online and have 30 minutes or even less to spare, you should start this challenge in your private decisions channel by typing !f18-immunity. It does not really matter if you do it via desktop or mobile version of Discord.
Given the nature of this challenge, deadline is set at 11:59 PM (EDT) tonight. If anyone has issues to spend up to 30 minutes to complete it within the next 14 hours, please notify the hosts asap. Otherwise, you may start the challenge as soon as you are ready. Good luck!
Repeat: Do not DM anyone while you are being $equester. To start this challenge, please type this command !f18-immunity in your private decisions channel WITHOUT discussing it with anyone else.

@Toubou (Expanded) @Zaghawa (Expanded) I'm excited to introduce today's immunity challenge. It's simply called Hero! As you can probably guess form the name, for the first time in $urvivor history, only one player from each tribe will take part in a tribal immunity challenge while everyone else will be sitting out.
To make it more interesting and fun, the heroes chosen by their respective tribes won't be competing at the challenge area in front of everyone. Instead, they will be sent to the Oasis of Odds while the rest of the tribe will be attending tribal council without knowing the results of the tribal immunity challenge!
This means that both tribes will be going to Tribal Council separately without their hero. But relax, only one player will be voted off. Why? Because you will only find out if your hero has won immunity for your whole tribe AFTER voting against one of your own. Your hero isn't eligible to be voted out as they won't be going to tribal with you. The winning tribe will unknowingly attend the infamous mock tribal council, a twist that was first introduced 10 $easons ago in $outh Africa.
For the winning tribe, all votes cast won't be read at their mock tribal and they will be sent back to camp to reunite with their hero. For the losing tribe, their votes will be read right after the reveal of challenge results.
![👀 👀](https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/72x72/1f440.png)
So who wants to the hero of their tribe and guarantee their spot in the Final 16? How are we going to decide who will be the hero for each tribe? One word: Democracy. Today, you are voting anonymously for one of your tribemates to be the hero for your tribe. You cannot nominate yourself to be the hero but feel free to campaign to get votes from your tribemates. Who you individually nominate to be your hero will not be revealed. There will be no need to submit a parchment, just a name in your decisions channel by 9 PM (EDT) will do.
You will find out who gets the majority of the votes without being informed the exact vote count. In the event of a tie (for example
:3-3-2), our bot miki will be used to break it without you knowing there is a tie. The random draw for tie-breaker, if any, will be done in a channel viewable by our $ubscribers only.
How exactly will the Hero challenge work? The heroes will find out once they have arrived at the Oasis of Odds. What I can tell you now is that anyone can be a hero, if they want to be. (:

How lovely to see 4 new tribes of 4! Before we get to your first post-swap tribal immunity challenge (titled as Emoji) that you will be doing in pairs on Day 13, we have an optional individual reward challenge for the 16 of you to take part in - Raffle for one idol token.
Sometimes we just need to pray a little to get lucky or sometimes you could improve your odds in winning something that appears to be random by spending $$$. The latter is the case today.
By 11 AM (EDT) tomorrow, you are to decide how many raffle tickets you wish to buy in hope of winning an idol token. Like in your first tribal immunity challenge, each numbered raffle ticket costs only $16 to buy. The more you buy the higher chance you would have in winning an idol token as your lucky reward.
This challenge is optional. Hence, the minimum number of tickets to buy is 0 and maximum is based on how much money you have left. If you do not plan to buy any tickets at all, please do indicate so in your decisions channel clearly.
After everyone has decided how many tickets to buy and before we draw up a random ticket to determine the lucky winner, we will issue you your numbered raffle tickets privately . For example, if you decide to buy just 2 tickets, it will cost you $32 and you will be issued 2 random numbers, say 16 and 17. If the total number of raffle tickets bought by the Final 16 is 100, it will imply that you have a 2% chance of winning the idol token. There is only one lucky winner, regardless which tribe they are from.
Risk of gambling: There is no guarantee that the highest spender in this reward challenge will win, unlike in a typical bidding challenge. Potentially you could simply buy one ticket and get lucky with it but why not improve your odds of winning if you could afford it?
After we have issued out all ticket numbers privately, @Desert Tortoise will be used once to roll out the winning ticket number. We will not reveal how many tickets each of you bought individually but will reveal the total number of tickets bought by the 16 of you.
Repeat: You have until 11 AM (EDT) tomorrow to decide how many raffle tickets you want to buy. You're free to discuss privately with your new tribemates. Do not DM your former tribemates. Even if you choose not to buy any ticket at all, please indicate so.
@Fulani @Hausa @Toubou @Zaghawa May the odds be ever in your favor!
Edited to add:
Final 16 Reward Results
Total number of raffle tickets bought by the Final 16 = 285
And the winning ticket drawn by @Desert Tortoise was 177!
The player who bought ticket #177 has won an idol token as their secret reward.

As announced before the $wap, your next tribal immunity challenge is simply called Emoji which requires you to compete in pairs. (So I did not lie when I asked you to form pairs for this challenge.) The pairs are listed below:
@Fulani:
➽ Caeb and Neil
➽ JSB and Usernam
@Hausa:
➽ Nick and Paddy
➽ Charles and Peachy
@Toubou:
➽ Craig and Daniel
➽ David and Slinky
@Zaghawa:
➽ Lexi and Stef
➽ Leetah and Scotty
Note that for this challenge, you can only discuss and strategize with your challenge partner in the private channel that has been set up for your pair in this $erver. You are not allowed to talk about it at all with your 2 other tribemates until both pairs in a tribe have completed it. And obviously do not leak and spoil the challenge to the other tribes.
The core part of this challenge is basically a charades-inspired word-guessing game by using internal emojis only! Letter and number emojis (such as
,
️, 1️⃣, etc.) are not allowed to be used.
![? ?](https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/72x72/1f1e6.png)
![? ?](https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/72x72/1f171.png)
Each pair will decide among themselves who to be the performer and who to be the guesser Once decided, it cannot be changed and the performer will be sent a DM a list of 7 words or phrases for their partner to guess. The catch is that the performer can only use non-letter non-number internal emojis to communicate. (To be fair, everyone is blocked from using external emojis that aren't available in this $erver.) The guesser has unlimited attempts to guess what the phrases are.
To help your tribe secure tribal immunity, the guesser will need to figure out all 7 answers as quickly as possible. For each unsolved answer that you give up on guessing, a penalty of 10 minutes will be added. I repeat that the performer can only post in emojis (excluding the ones with letters or numbers) while the guesser is allowed to type text messages. 2 minutes will be added per violation of this rule. Also, you are absolutely NOT allowed to DM or VC with your partner during the challenge.
Here's a simple example. Let's say the first word given to the performer is "blackjack", they would post in their private challenge channel emojis that they think can lead the guesser into figuring out what the word is. The performer can keep posting emojis until the guesser has figured it out or given up. The guesser may tell the performer to skip it and move to the next word or phrase on the list and try it later. Blackjack is a simple one since it can be easily represented by ⬛ and
. The actual words and phrases used in this challenge may not be as straightforward.
![? ?](https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/72x72/1f383.png)
When the guesser has figured out an answer, they will need to type it out as a bot command. For example, if the first answer is "blackjack", the guesser will need to post !1-blackjack (! + order number + "-" + answer). For a phrase with 2 words or more, ignore the space when putting the answer. For instance, if the second phrase in the list is "tribal council", the guesser will post !2-tribalcouncil and if they're right, there will be an auto-response from @MEE$$ to let the guesser know.
When all 7 phrases have been solved or when you want to give up, the guesser MUST type !end once to lock in your time. This is important. You must remember to do it and don't expect us to remind you. Your time will start once the performer has received the list of 7 phrases for guessing and end after the command !end has been posted.
The net time spent by the 2 pairs in each tribe will be added. The tribe(s) with the shortest combined net time will win immunity! Wait, how many tribes will win immunity? Well, it depends on lady luck! For the first time in $urvivor history, the number of tribes that win tribal immunity and avoid tribal council will be determined randomly by our dear @$urvivor Goddess after the challenge results have been posted tomorrow!!!! OoO! At least 1 tribe and at most 3 tribes will win immunity. The tribe(s) without immunity will go to tribal council together. If the top 3 tribes all win immunity, the tribe that comes in last will go to a 4-person tribal council. If top 2 win immunity, the bottom 2 tribes will attend an 8-person joint tribal where cross-tribe private communication between attendees is allowed. Likewise, if only the top performing tribe wins immunity, the other 3 tribes will attend a 12-person joint tribal! How exciting!
When you and your partner have agreed who to be the performer and both are ready to tackle the challenge, the performer must type !s16-f16 in the their challenge chat. Repeat: Do not discuss with your 2 other tribemates until both pairs in a tribe have completed it.
Apologies on the long essay to explain this challenge. If you have further questions, feel free to ping us to ask before you start.
Deadline to complete the challenge is 11:00 AM (EDT) tomorrow. GOOD LUCK!

Today's tribal immunity challenge is called Fortunate $econd. It requires equal number of participants from each tribe. @Fulani, @Hausa and @Toubou have decided to sit out JSB, Charles and David respectively, who will now be sent to Oasis of Odds and return at the end of the challenge. (As @Zaghawa is down to 3 members, none gets to sit out.)
Like in the previous round, the number of tribes winning tribal immunity will be randomized by @$urvivor Goddess after the immunity results have been revealed. The only way to guarantee your $afety is to come in first place!
For this challenge, the 12 participants have just been randomly split into 3 groups of 4 consisting of 1 member from each tribe (see #f15-immunity) You will be bidding against your opponents from the other 3 tribes in a 4-way battle. For each battle, the second highest bidder will earn 4 points, the highest will earn 3 points, 3rd highest will earn 2 points and the one who bids the lowest will get 1 point.
Yes, let me repeat: to score the maximum points (4) for your tribe, you will have to aim to be the second highest bidder in your battle group, instead of bidding the most.
Placement of your tribe in this challenge is based on your total points earned from the 3 battles. The tribe with the most points will 100% win immunity while the second place with have 1/3 chance of attending a joint tribal council, third place will enjoy a 2/3 chance while the tribe with the lowest total points will definitely be attending Final 15 Tribal Council.
Important note: From now on, you're blocked from posting at your camp chat and you are not allowed to contact your tribemates until the end of this challenge as you're split into different battle zones. A private channel has been set up for each of the following battles. It's the only channel you can use to communicate and negotiate with your opponents from the other 3 tribes. 1-to-1 private communication is not allowed. No DMs, no VCs until we're done with this challenge tomorrow.
Battle 1: Caeb, Paddy, Craig, Lexi
Battle 2: Neil, Peachy, Daniel, Scotty

@Castaways Your next tribal immunity is called The Amazing Race (nice timing given that TAR Season 32 will finally premiere soon!).
There are two "legs" to this challenge. We will go through the first leg now and details for Leg 2 will be revealed after all members of your tribe has completed Leg 1.
First leg is simple. Everyone in the Final 14 must submit their silent bid for time advantage in the second leg by 11 PM (EDT). Minimum bid: $1.
Your individual bid amount won't be revealed but the average for your tribe will be. The tribe with the highest average spending will get 16 minutes off their total time spent in Leg 2 of the race. The second highest bidding tribe will enjoy 8 minutes off while the third tribe will get 4 minutes off and no advantage for the lowest bidding tribe.
In a race where every second counts, a time advantage can win or lose your tribe immunity!
Unlike the previous 2 challenges, the number of immune tribes is fixed this round! The tribe with the fastest and second fastest time to complete Leg 2 (after factoring in the time advantage from Leg 1) will win tribal immunity while the bottom 2 tribes will attend a joint tribal council together.
One member from each of the winning tribes will be sent to Oasis of Odds at the end of this challenge . So, in addition to bidding, everyone must vote anonymously for one of their tribemates to go to OoO if their tribe ends up winning immunity. Highest vote getters will go. Tie, if any, will be broken by random draw (in a channel viewable by $ubscibers only) Exact vote count for each tribe won't be revealed.
Lastly, for Fulani and Hausa, as you each have an extra member, you must decide on you own who to sit out in Leg 2 of the race (while everyone must still bid and vote in Leg 1). You cannot sit out the same player who sat out in F16 IC. Leg 2 is an individual timed challenge that 3 players from each tribe must complete on their own. Details will be shared after you are done with Leg 1.

@Fulani @Hausa @Toubou @Zaghawa
Now that you have completed Leg 1 of this challenge, it's time to race in Leg 2!
Bear in mind that you will have to finish this part of the challenge on your own without anyone's help. You can't leak anything from the challenge to others. So, please do not discuss with your tribemates until all of you have done it (excluding Usernam and Paddy who are sitting out for Fulani and Hausa respectively in this leg).
I can't tell you how long it would take you to complete the race as it depends on your performance but it shouldn't be too long. It can be completed on both desktop and mobile version of Discord but we would recommend doing it on your computer, if possible. You will need to have access to a photo editing software, app or website.
When you are ready to start the timed race, please type this bot command in your private decisions channel: !travel_safe_go
Once you have typed the starting command, your time will start immediately and you must follow the instructions until you have finished the race.
Deadline is set at 8 PM (EDT) but if you could complete it before 11 AM (EDT) that'd be greatly appreciated. Have fun and good luck! (edited)

It's now Day 20 in the $ahara and we're down to Final 13! While you remain as 4 tribes, you're competing in today's immunity challenge as individuals. It's called $afety First; $pecie $econd. Instead of bidding for the tribal immunity idol, you're bidding individually against 12 other @Castaways to win either an Immunity Necklace or an Immunity Bracelet.
Yes I repeat, this is an individual immunity challenge because all 4 tribes will be going to Tribal Council! It's BLOODBATH time, everyone!
Gasps for air
How this round works: after this challenge is over, all 4 tribes will have to vote for one member of their own to send to the Oasis of Odds (OoO). You DO NOT want to be voted to go there this round because you may never get to return to the game after being sent to OoO.
The number of players that will be eliminated this round and details of how the elimination will be deterimined shall only be revealed in due course to those who are involved in the elimination process. The only thing we could tell all 13 of you now is that if you're voted to OoO, whatever idols or any other game advantages that you're having will NOT be usable there to save yourself.
Such a wacky twist will need to be balanced with a relatively straightforward immunity challenge.
So to guarantee your safety, all you have to do is bid the highest among the Final 13 for either (A) the Immunity Necklace or (B) the Immunity Bracelet. For this challenge, all of you have to bid at least $1 on either A or B. You cannot bid on both. As you all know, Item A - the necklace grants you immunity and no one can vote against you at tribal council later. While Item B - the bracelet can be described as a hidden immunity idol that will be auto-played on its owner at the next tribal council after all votes have been cast.
At the end of the challenge, We will reveal:
1) the number of players who bid on Item A (the necklace)
2) the number of players who bid on Item B (the bracelet)
3) the total amount of money spent by all 13 of you in this challenge (without breakdown by items)
4) the identity of the highest bidder of Item A
As usual, your individual bid amount will not be revealed. The identity of the highest bidder for Item B (the bracelet) will NOT be revealed to anyone at the end of this challenge. The winner of this item will NOT be notified either. You will only find out if anyone from your tribe has won the bracelet before the votes are read at Tribal Council. As Item B functions like an idol, majority tax will not be applicable if the bracelet is played at your tribal.
Deadline to submit your bid for either Item A or B in your decisions channel is 11 AM (EDT) tomorrow, giving you about 22 hours from now to make your decision. If we can get all 13 bids in earlier than deadline, we will try to announce the results earlier as well so that we can move on to Tribal Council. That's it. Good luck!
I choose to bid [ $____ ] on [ __ ] (choose A for the necklace or B for the bracelet).

Good ol' $urvivor Auction at merge! Let's see what we have got for you today @$ahara!
We have a total of 8 items up for bids, with four of them being covered items.
The identity of the highest bidder for Item 1 and 2 will be revealed to everyone while a 50/50 coin will be flipped at the end of the auction to decide if the winner of Item 3 will be revealed or not. Item 4 to 8 will be given out to their highest bidders in $ecret.
Item 1: An Individual Immunity Necklace
Bid for this open item in #f12-auction-item-1 if you want to be immune at the Final 12 Tribal Council. Please read carefully the details on how it works in the latest pinned message of that channel to understand how its bidding is different than the rest and to avoid being fined / disqualified.
Item 2: A $olo Trip to the Oasis of Odds
The highest bidder will be sent to OoO instead of attending the Final 12 Tribal Council with the rest of the tribe. This means that the winner of this item won't get to vote and will be immune this round. While at OoO, they will not be allowed to have any private communications with other players.
Item 3: An Idol Token
The highest bidder will receive one idol token. Refer to #idol-token-system if you need a refresher on how idol tokens can be used to exchange for micro/normal/$uper idol. A 50/50 coin will be flipped at the end of the auction to decide if the winner of this item will be revealed or not.
Item 4: An Idol Blocker (Valid up to Final 9)
Bid for this item if you would like to have the power to anonymously block one player of your choice from playing a micro or normal or $uper idol at one tribal council up to Final 9. The owner of this advantage must decide whom to block before the voting deadline. (This is the same item from our last 2 $easons but with different validity period. Refer to this post for details on how it works exactly: https://discordapp.com/channels/476765046001762304/502546405781405707/713286502540640306)

➽ Even if you wish not to bid for any item at all, you still need to let the hosts know you have decided to bid $0.
➽ You are allowed to discuss your bids with other players but you cannot pool your money in this auction.
➽ All of your individual bid amounts will remain $ecret (except for Item 1). We will reveal the total money bid by the 12 of you for Item 2 to 8 (without breakdown by items).

Final 11 Immunity Challenge
@$ahara This is a special post-merge round where not one but five players will be immune at the Final 11 Tribal Council! Earlier, David and Usernam were randomly chosen to start a $chooyard pick to form 2 teams of 5 to compete in today's immunity challenge.
Team Fulani: David -> Neil -> Charles -> JSB -> Caeb
Team Hausa: Usernam -> Scotty -> Craig -> Nick -> Lexi
Paddy was left unpicked. He has no shot in winning immunity and has been exiled to the Oasis of Odds. Please do not communicate with him until he has been added back to camp later. To be clear, all of you will attend the next tribal council after this challenge.
For the challenge, you will compete individually but win or lose together as a team.
You will be having a fun live duel against one member from the opposing team (based on the order you're picked in the $choolyard pick). Your goal is to beat your opponent in the duel to score a point for your team. The team with 3 or more points will win all 5 members of their team immunity while the 5 members from the losing team plus Paddy will be vulnerable at the next tribal.
Duel 1: David vs Usernam
Duel 2: Neil vs Scotty
Duel 3: Charles vs Craig
Duel 4: JSB vs Nick
Duel 5: Caeb vs Lexi
Everyone (except Paddy) has been added to their respective duel chat where the detailed challenge instructions will be explained when both players are ready. So, you can't discuss the challenge with other players. For now, what you need to know about the challenge is that:
1) It has to be done when both players in a duel to be online at the same time.
2) Once a live duel started, it's estimated to last for about 1 hour (but could also be much shorter) to finish it.
3) It can be done on mobile or desktop version of Discord. It won't really matter to your performance.
4) It is poker related. (prays for good luck)
5) Unlike most challenges you have done up to this point, it does not involve bidding your money.
6) Instead, in addition to scoring a point for their team, the winner of each duel will also win an individual reward in the form of extra poker chips worth $1,600, sponsored by their duel opponent. Potentially you could win your duel and still lose immunity if 3 or all 4 of your teammates lost their respective duels.
We aim to get all 5 duels done by 11:00 AM (EDT) but it'd be great if we could have it done by tonight though so that Peachy won't be left alone in the #jury-villa-⚖ for too long.

Today's challenge is called Indian Poker (aka blind man's bluff). It is a simple poker game where the player with the higher number in each round takes the pot.
The game will be played with 3 sets of cards ranked from 1 to 10, for a total of 30 cards, and placed into a randomly selected order by the dealer (via https://www.random.org/lists/).
You will each start the game with 16 poker chips. Each round, both players will receive a card, but will not be told what their card is and instead be told what their opponent’s card is by the host at their private decisions channel.
During each round, both players will pay an ante of 1 poker chip, and may bet based on the card on their opponent’s forehead. The number of chips you are allowed to bet is only limited by the number of poker chips you have.
There are three options for betting:
Option 1: Call
Calling will increase your bet to the same number of chips as your opponent and ends the round.
Option 2: Raise
Raising will allow you to increase the current amount bet, and give your opponent a chance to respond to your bet.
Option 3: Fold
Folding will forfeit all of the chips you have bet this round, including the ante, and end the round. However, if you fold with a 10, you will also pay an additional penalty of 8 chips.
Once betting for a round has ended, both players cards will be revealed and the player with the higher number will take all of the bet chips. If both players have the same number, the bet chips will be returned. The challenge will end when one player loses all of their chips.
We will do a random draw to decide who will start betting in the first round. For subsequent rounds, the winner of the previous round will start.
Final 11 Immunity Results
Duel 1: David won $1,600 from Usernam and scored a point for Team Fulani.
Duel 2: Scotty won $1,600 from Neil and scored a point for Team Hausa.
Duel 3: Charles won $1,600 from Craig and scored a point for Team Fulani.
Duel 4: JSB won $1,600 from Nick and scored 1 point for Team Fulani.

!f10-ic
Today we're having our favourite old-$chool immunity challenge: Touchy $ubjects!
There are 2 parts to this challenge. To win immunity, your goal is to score as many points as possible from both parts.
Part I is on bidding:
• How many points you score from this part depends on your bid ranking. The highest bidder will score 10 points, the second highest bidder will get 9, 3rd will get 8 and so on. Following this pattern, the lowest bidder will get only 1 point.
• Your individual bid amount won't be revealed but your ranking for this part and the total amount spent by the Final 10 will be revealed.
• Min bid: $1
• If there is a tie for any position, they will share the lower position. For example, if there are 3 players who bid the lowest (at say $1), they will get 1 point each.
Part II is on majority rules.
• There are 14 questions in total. You are to choose an answer that you think the majority would put for each question.
• If your answer is in majority, you will score 1 point.
• We will reveal what the majority put as answer for each question without revealing any individual submissions.
• Your points for Part II will be revealed.
Your total points from Part I & II will be added up. Whoever with the highest total points will be guaranteed to win an immunity necklace. In addition, for this challenge, whoever comes in second place will have a 50% chance in winning immunity while third placer will have a 1/3 odd of winning immunity. This shall be determined by a bot at the end of the challenge. Potentially, up to 3 of you will be immune at F10 TC! (Tie-breaker for total points: Higher bid in Part 1 wins.)
If you are clear on the instructions above, please type !touchy now to submit your bid for Part I and answers for Part II here within next 30 mins. Do not take more than 30 minutes. Good luck!
!touchy
Part 1: I bid [ $___ ]. (min: $1)
Part 2: Answer who you think the majority would put down for each question. You must write down the name of one of your tribemates or yourself next to each question, except for Question 1 which asks for a name of a pre-juror in this game.

Final 9 Immunity Challenge
@$ahara After one full month in the $ahara, we're down to just nine of you! 16=4x4 and 9=3x3. Don't we love math! For your next immunity challenge, you have been divided into 3 teams of 3 based on the order you picked a number (from 1 to 9) at camp earlier:
Team 327: Caeb, Charles, Scotty
Team 451: Lexi, JSB, David
Team 869: Nick, Craig, Paddy
You all have been added to your respective challenge chat where the detailed challenge instructions will be provided when all 3 members of your team are ready. You can't discuss the challenge with other players not in your team. In fact, from now on until your team has completed this challenge, you can only communicate with the other 2 players in your challenge channel.
For now, what you need to know about the challenge is that:
1) It has to be done when all 3 players in a team are online at the same time.
2) It can be done on mobile or desktop version of Discord. It won't really matter as it's not speed based.
3) Once it has started, it cannot be paused and must be completed within 60 minutes.
4) Before and during the challenge, you can only chat with those in your team via the challenge channel. No DMs.
5) After you have completed the challenge, you will be free to talk privately with other castaways not in your team provided that they have also done the challenge.
So, once all 3 members in your team can have up to 1 hour to spend together, one of you will need to type out the following bot command in your private challenge channel set up to initiate the challenge: !f9_immunity.
If possible, we hope we can get this challenge done by 11:59 PM (EDT) tonight, which is just over 13 hours from now. If this isn't possible, please voice out asap and we can extend it up to a full 24-hour deadline.

This immunity challenge is simply called The Art of Negotiation where you get to put your negotiation skills to test. You won't be negotiating against the other two teams but with each other here.
For this round, we may have up to three immunity winners as there is one necklace up for negotiation grabs in each team.
The three of you will now have up to the next 60 minutes to negotiate with one another on who to win the immunity necklace here.
Transfer of money among you three during this challenge is allowed. This means that you are free to strike up any financial or non-financial deals with the other two players in this team to end this challenge. Ping the hosts when/if you all have agreed on who to walk away with the immunity necklace.
However, if you three cannot reach any agreement within the next 60 minutes, each of you will be charged $1,600 as an “admin fee” for drawing a 4-sided dice to decide the outcome for you where you each have a 25% chance of winning immunity and the remaining 25% chance of no one in this team being immune at the next tribal council (F9 TC).
Your deal (if any) with each other will not be revealed to others.
And remember, you can only talk here during the challenge. No DMs. No VCs. And no discussion with other players not in this team.
Your time starts now. Have fun negotiating!

@$ahara Since merge, there had been chances for multiple players to be immune in the same round. That's not the case here today. Only up to one of you will get to win immunity necklace to guarantee their safety at the Final 8 Tribal Council?
Everyone: Wait a $econd? Where is the twist of the round then?
Well, I haven't forgotten about that. From now on until the end of this challenge, you are NOT allowed to communicate privately with other players without being seen. What this means is that you will have to follow our favourite whisper system before sending out a private message. (Picture yourselves being at the challenge area together where the only way you could deliver a private message to another player is by whispering softly into their ear).
![? ?](https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/2/72x72/1f644.png)
Question: How to whisper?
Throughout this challenge, you will have to follow the following restrictions on private communication:
➽ If you wish to send out a single private message to another player (via DM), you MUST first type the following at #s16-mrabaha-camp:
*[Your name] whispers to [name of the person you want to send a private message].*
➽ One whisper log = one private message. If you send out 2 messages to the same person, you must post the whisper line twice.
You don't have to whisper if you don't have any messages to pass in private. You are free to use #s16-mrabaha-camp to discuss / negotiate openly during this challenge.
Next twist: Your next challenge involves bidding tactically plus some luck element. Before we get to the full details of the challenge, you all have an individual decision to make as soon as you have read this post. If you are feeling greedy/needy for more money and/or feeling good about your position in the game, you may opt to sit out in order to receive $1,600 and stand a chance to make a solo trip to the last Oasis of Odds of $eason. Among the players who choose to sit out, one will be randomly selected to be sent to OoO while the rest compete for the immunity necklace. Note that whoever gets exiled to OoO (if any) will be back to attend Final 8 Tribal Council together. If only one of you choose to sit out, they will be the default person to go to the Oasis. If none of you decides to give up your shot in winning immunity, no one will be sent there. And lastly if all of you opt for sitting out, no one will win immunity this round and one will be chosen by random draw to visit OoO for one last time.
You have each been given a black rock and a white rock. Now, I need you to go to your private decisions channel and decide individually which rock to pick to indicate whether you want to participate in this immunity challenge (black rock) or you want to sit out (white rock).
Once all 8 of you have posted your decisions (in your private chat), we will announce who choose to sit out and who choose to be competing. Then, we will proceed to explain how exactly the challenge works.

@$ahara @Updates!!!
Charles, David and Paddy have chosen the white rock to sit out. They have each received $1,600 and among the 3, David has been chosen randomly to go to the Oasis of Odds.
Caeb, Craig, JSB, Lexi and Nick, the five of you are taking part in this challenge now where you can only DM each other via whispering. All other interactions should only be made at #s16-mrabaha-camp
As mentioned earlier, this challenge involves bidding tactically plus some luck element. It's called Festival of Fortune! There are a total of 8 $talls at this festival, each with different points up for grabs. Your goal is to collect as many points as possible as the player with the highest points will win immunity for a guaranteed spot in the Final 7!
$tall 1 - Whoever bids the highest dollar amount will win 3 points.
$tall 2 - Whoever bids second highest at this particular $tall will win 2 points, zero for everyone else.
$tall 3 - Whoever bid most by percentage of their current wealth will win 3 points. (Minimum to bid here is 0%.)
$tall 4 - Bid a multiple of $160 dollars. As long as no one else bids the same amount as you, you will get 1 point from this $tall.
$tall 5 - Whoever bids closest to the average value at this $tall will get 2 points.
$tall 6 - Whoever bids closest to the standard deviation of bids at this $tall will get 2 points.
$tall 7 - Whoever bids closest to the highest bid minus the lowest bid at this $tall will earn 2 points.
$tall 8 - Whoever bids closest to a random amount (between $800 to $1600) will win a random amount of points (between 1 to 4 points), which shall be rolled by @Desert Tortoise.

All participants must bid at least $1 at each $tall (except for $tall 3 where the min is 0%). Your individual bid amounts won't be revealed. We will only reveal who wins points at each stall and the total amount spent in this challenge. In the event of a tie in total points between two (or more) players, the one who bid more (or most) at $tall 1 will win.
To illustrate on $tall 3 with an example: if you have $30,008 left and you choose to bid 1% here, $300 will be deducted from you account. If someone else with $10,000 bid 2%, their 2% beat your 1% even though in terms of absolute dollar amount they spent less.
Remember, while we are all "physically" present at the challenge area, the only way you can DM other participants of this challenge is by following the whisper system.
Given the nature of this challenge, deadline is set at 11 AM (EDT). If anyone has a concern with this, please do raise it asap with us in private.
(we could potentially end it live since all 5 participants are online)

@$ahara Today's challenge which involves participation from your loved ones is called Would You Rather.
It consists of 3 parts. Please read and understand the instructions here.
The first part involves a submission of preference from your @$17 Loved Ones💕. All 7 loved ones will need DM me with their list of answers for the following 10 "Would You Rather" questions by the deadline - 9:30 PM (EDT) tomorrow. Loved ones, You are not allowed to DM anyone (including your own loved one) to reveal your list in private but you can tell them your true or fake answers in the #f7-loved-ones-visit public chat.
1) Would you rather find your true love or a suitcase with one million US Dollars inside?
2) Would you rather love someone who will never love you, or be loved by someone you don't love?
3) Would you rather have a golden voice or a silver tongue?
4) Would you much rather be hated by doing something you love or be loved by doing something you hate?
5) Would you rather always be 10 minutes late or always be 20 minutes early?
6) Would you rather be able to see 10 minutes into your own future or 10 minutes into the future of your loved one?
7) Would you rather have done something horribly embarrassing and only your loved one knows or not done something horribly embarrassing, but everyone except your loved one thinks you did it?
8) Would you rather find 16 dollars on the ground or find all your missing socks?
9) Would you rather work at a job you love that pays just enough to get by or work at a job where you're miserable but you make an incredible amount of money?
10) Would you rather wake up every morning with a new $100 dollar bill in your pocket but not know where it came from or wake up every morning with a new $50 bill in your pocket and know where it comes from?
The second and third part are for the Final 7 @Castaways to decide.
For Part 2, @$ahara you will need to guess which answer is the minority choice from the loved ones. Please do not DM any loved ones to ask what they chose. They cannot tell you that in private. For example, if 3 loved ones picked they would rather do A and 4 other loved ones answer the other option, A would be considered as the minority answer.
Please list down your guess for minority answer in each question:
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
6)
7)
8)
9)
10)
For Part 3, @$ahara you will need to decide how much you want to spend to increase your odds of winning immunity. You have to spend an equal amount on each question. So if you don't feel like spending to win immunity for yourself, you need to spend at least $10 in total (one dollar per question).
How much of your spending for this challenge will actually count towards immunity will depend on your performance in the second part of this challenge. For example, if 6 of your answers in Part 2 matched with the loved ones' minority answer and you spent $100 per question, the total amount that counts towards immunity would be $600 while $1,000 would be deducted from your balance (10x$100).
Note that this is an OPEN BIDDING round which means your individual spending in this challenge will be revealed.
The person with the highest dollar amount that counts towards immunity will win the individual immunity necklace and guarantee a 1 in 6 shot of winning this game.
In addition to immunity, the winner of this challenge will also win reward - winner's loved one will get to visit your camp and your confessionals channel.
Deadline to submit your decisions for this challenge is 9:30 PM (EST) tomorrow, which is more than 21 hours from now. But if possible, please do submit earlier than this deadline so you can have more time to scheme with or against each other.

@$ahara We're down to six and it's time to pick up the pace of the game with a rather $traightforward old-$chool bidding challenge.
Today's challenge is called The Masked Bidder. All you will need to do is simply submit a bid to win the one and only immunity necklace up for bids in this round.
We won’t reveal how much you bid individually but we will show the bid amounts without naming names for this challenge. For example, if the six of you bid $200, $300, $400, $404, $800 and $1600 respectively, we will show exactly this bid distribution without naming who bid which amount, except for unmasking the highest bidder to reveal who wins immunity and a 50% chance of revealing the identity of the lowest bidder who will be be fined based on the average bid per person.
For this challenge, you are allowed to negotiate openly and/or privately with one another on how much to spend.
Repeat: If you are the highest bidder, you will be revealed as the immunity winner.
Warning: While the minimum required bid is $1, you may want to consider bidding higher than that because for this challenge, if your bid is the lowest among the 6, you will be given a fine based on the average bid by the Final 6. In addition to that, a 50/50 coin will be flipped to decide if the lowest bidder will be unmasked or not (as in revealing who bid the lowest).
Deadline: 11:30 AM (EDT) tomorrow. Good luck!

@$ahara As revealed right after Paddy was voted off and joined the @Jury, immunity is back up for grabs at tribal council in front of the jury. The five of you are bidding for Photographs. There are 20 photographs, one for each cast member of this $eason.
To win this immunity necklace to guarantee yourself a one-in-four shot in winning this game, you will have to be the player with most points at the end of the challenge. A photo of a pre-juror is worth 4 points and a photo of each of the first 7 jurors is worth 5 points. Photograph of the Final 5 are up for bids too but the point values for each Final 5 player will be randomized between 1 to 8 points (@Desert Tortoise will be rolled out 5 times at the end of the challenge to decide the values).
To win the points attached to a photograph, you will need to be the one who places the highest unique bid for it. Please note that for this challenge, you can't just bid any amount you want. Below are the specific restrictions / rules to follow when placing your bids for the photographs:
➽ You can only bid in multiples of $100 up to a maximum of $1,000 per photograph.
➽ For each of the 20 photographs, you have to decide to bid $0, $100, $200, $300, $400, $500, $600, $700, $800, $900 or $1,000.
➽ However, you can only use each non-zero amount at most twice in your biddings. For example, if you are bidding $900 each on Dora's and Trevor's, you cannot bid $900 for another photograph as the limit for non-zero amount is 2 times.
➽ For each photo, points will be awarded to the bidder with highest unique bid (4 for pre-juror, 5 for a juror and random between 1 to 8 for Final 5). This means that if two or more players tied for the highest bid for a photo, they won't win the points and the next highest unique non-zero bidder (if any) would get it. For example, if Player A and B both bid $1,000 for Peachy's photo, C bid $900 and everyone else bid $800 or lower, Player C would win 5 points (as Peachy is a juror).
➽ If you're feeling safe or wanting to save money for the future rounds, you are free to bid $0 for any or even all photos (including your own and other players' in the Final 5). But you could never feel safer than having the immunity necklace around your neck, could you?
Bid on Dora's photo (4 points):
Bid on Trevor's photo (4 points):
Bid on Lavina's photo (4 points):
Bid on Shadow's photo (4 points):
Bid on Stef's photo (4 points):
Bid on Slinky's photo (4 points):
Bid on Leetah's photo (4 points):
Bid on Daniel's photo (4 points):
Bid on Peachy's photo (5 points):
Bid on Usernam's photo (5 points):
Bid on Neil's photo (5 points):
Bid on Scotty's photo (5 points):
Bid on David's photo (5 points):
Bid on JSB's photo (5 points):
Bid on Paddy's photo (5 points):
Bid on Caeb's photo (random between 1 to 8 points):
Bid on Charles' photo (random between 1 to 8 points):
Bid on Craig's photo (random between 1 to 8 points):
Bid on Lexi's photo (random between 1 to 8 points):
Bid on Nick's photo (random between 1 to 8 points):
Further notes for @$ahara to read carefully (please ping @$pecies #CoC at tribal if you need further clarifications):
• You are NOT allowed to discuss this challenge privately with anyone. You are only free to talk about it publicly at #f6-tribal-f5-immunity if you wish.
• If there was a tie for highest total points, the tied player who spent the least amount of money in total among the tied players would win! If it's still a tie, it'd be broken by random.
• Your individual spending on this challenge will not be revealed.
• We will reveal the bid distributions without revealing the names except for the identity of highest unique bidder for each photo.
• Deadline: 11:59PM (EDT) tonight (if all 5 players have locked in their bid decisions for this challenge, we may reveal the results earlier)

This challenge will have to be completed individually within 60 minutes once you have started it. It's not a time-based race against others and can be done on either mobile or PC version of Discord.
When you’re ready, please type this command in your private decisions channel to start: !f4_ic
No fixed deadline as of now but if you could get it done asap within the next 12 hours, that'd be ace. Thank you and good luck!

This immunity challenge is called Fallen Comrades. It's split into 5 parts. Please read through each given instruction carefully and complete the challenge within
Part 1: Immunity Advantage
Firstly, you need to decide how much of your remaining balance you are pouring into this challenge to give yourself an edge over your tribemates in the next 4 parts. Whatever amount you put in here will be deducted from your balance. Individual bid amount won't be revealed but the total spending by Final 4 and their ranking will be. The player with the highest spending will have 100% of their total points from Part 2 to 5 counted towards immunity. The 2nd highest spender will have 90% of their points counted. 3rd will have 80% and the lowest bidder will have 70% of their points counted towards immunity.
Part 2: $ecret Quartets
Besides your own $ecret Quartet, have you figured out who were grouped together with whom based on their favourite lucky numbers on Day 1?
Your goal for this part is to get as many quartets identified correctly as possible. There were 5 $ecret Quartets in total. Please list down the members of each quartet (including your own). You will score 4 points for each correctly identified $ecret Quartet. Maximum points you could score from this part: 20 points (4x5).
Part 3: Lucky Numbers
Part 3 is linked to Part 2. Remember how you were asked to choose your favourite or lucky numbers (between 1 and 999) before the start of the game and how it was used to put you into a $ecret group of 4? We hope you do. For this part, your goal is to guess everyone's lucky number. You will score 1 point for each correct answer. Maximum points you could score from this part: 20 points (1x20).
Part 4: Legacy of Love
As you are all aware, all eliminated players (up to the Final 5 boot) were asked to make their legacy decisions. Upon being out of the game, your fallen comrades were each asked to bequeath their legacy of love worth $2,400 to at least one player and at most three players left in the game
Your task here is to list down whom you think each fallen comrade gave their legacy of love to. Some of them gave to more than 1 player but you are asked to name only one legacy recipient per eliminated player. As long as the person you answer here did receive at least $1 from the boot, you will score 2 points. Maximum points you could score from this part: 32 points (2x16).
Part 5: Jury's Personalities
Remember being asked before the start of the game to describe your personality in 3 words? This part is aimed to test how well you know the personalities of our first 8 jury members. You will score 3 points for each correct answer. Maximum points you could score from this part: 24 points (3x8).
1) Which juror described themselves as "analytical, adaptable, chill"?
2) Which juror described themselves as "determined, competitive, optimistic"?
3) Which juror described themselves as "jolly, sincere, beary hungry"?
4) Which juror described themselves as "unfiltered, direct, playful"?
5) Which juror described themselves as "talkative, analytical, easy-going"?
6) Which juror described themselves as "stubborn, ecentric, jester"?
7) Which juror described themselves as "reserved, confident, relentless"?
8) Which juror described themselves as "UPBEAT, SASSY, COMPETITIVE"?

Our 4th placer of this $eason, Lexi was given the ultimate legacy power of the $eason to solely decide if we would have a Final Tribal Council with 2 or 3 finalists. She chose the Final 3 format for FTC live at #f4-tribal, making this the final challenge for a potential game changing reward instead of immunity. Whoever wins this final reward challenge gets to grant one of our 9 jury members an extra vote to cast at FTC.
This final bidding challenge is called Mirage of Money. Here's how it's gonna work: there are up to 16 live bidding rounds that we will go through one by one. In each round, you will be asked to bid and submit a guess at the same time on what the total amount is. Whoever with closest guess will win a point for that round. First player to win 6 points will win the reward!
If it’s a tie, a random draw will take place to decide who gets the point of the round. For example, in Round 1, A bids $1, B bids $10, C bids $90 and whoever guessed closest to $101 will win the point for Round 1. If B guesses $99 and C guesses $103 while A’s guess is way off, a random draw to decide either B or C wins this round.
All individual bids for each round will be revealed before we proceed to the next round. No private discussion is allowed during this live challenge. Good luck!
Final 3 Reward Results
After 6 live rounds, Nick won the challenge.
He has made his decision on which juror to grant the extra jury vote. The recipient of this extra vote has been notified in private. There will be a total of 10 jury votes to be cast at the Final Tribal Council. Good luck to all 3 finalists! Trust me, you will need it.
