In terms of "episodes" the double boot round for episode 5 would be one of the most exciting and equally surprising episodes of any Endure season thus far. Two perceived powerhouses going one after another with Jared's boot resulting from the consequences of his actions, forcing Corey, who a round earlier was laughing and joking about feeling bad about lying to Sam and Kate, now having to eat dirt and suck up. Great great round. Great great outcome. Anthony's boot served as the catalyst to setting up such a crazy chain of stories, the most recent now being Jesse likely disowning the Kardashian's and looking for some second-handed revenge some way, somehow.
In terms of what the next challenge is, Tagish definitely made the worse move this round booting Jared, I think he'd be perfect for Keep Talking... alas, not in the cards.
I'm at a toss up for what tribe will do well in this upcoming challenge. I think each tribe has their aces, but also their setbacks. I'm hoping for a great performance from Zoie to prove her worth and rise her ranking in the current Tagish group of five.

[12:31:29 AM] Vic: I have no idea what the challenge could be based on the treemail

Honestly, since Vic doesn't know what's coming up this gives Haida a SLIGHT edge going into the challenge, Miller has already spilled the deal about keeping track of every password to his tribe, so if another tribe doesn't pick up on that it could really set them back.
I mean really there isn't a huge advantage other than knowing to write passwords down. The modules while they may be similar are all new, they can't go back to look at last season's version and I'm fairly certain neither Miller nor Brian was the operator last season so they won't even really know the modules other than what the manual might have said. I can't remember though.
The slight advantage is definitely an advantage nonetheless. They can't practice modules, but Wojan and Miller understand the emphasis on organization in this challenge and having everything orderly so that there's no scrambling. Last season Nabu didn't write down the passwords and it lead to them burning 15-20 minutes scrambling to find passwords. If the challenge comes down to a margin like that, they'll be thankful for the knowledge beforehand.
Dressing the scene: Scott talking about Scott things, in particular how games can go on long and he hopes Endure isn't 60 days. This game was advertised as 2 months in The Marooning.
How many days are in 2 months Scott? I don't know...

You really lean into the "fiction" part of fan fiction huh?
Casey really isn't doing herself any favours. She keeps scheduling to go on call with the members of their tribe, and she never does -- except for apparently Scott for 20 minutes today.
Zoie has played Keep Talking before and briefly brought it up to Tagish. Through some searching, Nick/Sam/Kate have found the actual game and are studying it pretty closely and getting a grasp of how this challenge operates.
Mistake #1: For the first hour Sam was captaining the tribe in the challenge and doing a lot of time burning stuff, such as organizing non-relevant pages. When she finally got to the first module page and explained what to do -- she didn't know what to do and Zoie had to tell her how it worked. Zoie had a grip on it, yet Sam tried to lead. Strike 1.
Mistake #2: Over analyzing every piece of information. To do these you just need the basic grasp of the information presented; there's only two or three key points. They went back and read things far too many times, burning time.
Mistake #3: At times Corey and Nick seemed to lose interest in the challenge and weren't at guard. Nick snapchatted me him checking baseball scores at one point. Long, dead periods of time can be mentally strenuous and it was for them.
Three strikes, Tagish. gg. Thank you for taking me on a ride where everything is on fire, the road is on fire, the sky is on fire, everything was burning.
TO THEIR CREDIT THOUGH after they got through the first half of the modules they started gelling better and picking up the pace. It could always have been a LOT worse.
After a ton of shitty Miller rounds, everything has been coming up Miller post-swap. Miller's good with Sean, Miller has a "F2" with Chris, Wojan wants to keep Miller around, Miller is the only one to make sense of the open idol clues, focuses in, and has (in my opinion) the most rewarding moment sharing that he's found the idol with his mom, who is shocked and rejoiced for her son.
Stay on this track, Zach. Scorched earth #2 is in full swing.
How many days are in 2 months Scott?
I don't know...
