Let's get right to it. Here's how the challenge is going to work.
This challenge will be a live endurance challenge starting at 9 PM EST tonight.
It will be a battle to see who the last person standing will be. Literally.
Each person will be invited to a Google Hangout on Air. You will be standing for as long as possible. The main rule is that you MUST be visible on camera - so that we can tell you are standing (meaning no close ups of your face, we need to see your full body). Please use a webcam and not a phone if possible. Find a comfortable place where you can stand for a long period of time without interruption - this will be a long night.
We will start the challenge off simple, you may do what you want (example: walk around, eat, drink, BUT NO BATHROOM), you just have to be visibly standing and remain on camera. As the night goes on, production will add additional challenges, which are listed below. Production will be on the Hangout and will give a warning as well as a countdown to these challenges.
Additional Rules:
If you get kicked from the hangout or your connection to the hangout cuts out, you have 5 minutes to rejoin or you're automatically out of the challenge. If you're caught abusing this (leaving to give yourself the 5 minute break) you will be kicked from the challenge and given a self-vote at tribal.
You cannot mute yourself. The only instance of this will be if there is an echo and you need time to grab earbuds.
No reading.
No TV/Movies.
No music/radio.
No video games or computer games
There will be no bathroom breaks, except for a 5 minute production designated bathroom break at 12:00 AM EST. After this, there will be no additional bathroom breaks.
Food and drink will be allowed initially, so if you want it, stock up as you cannot go off camera to get snacks or refills.
At some points during the night, we MAY allow guests to enter the call. This will be played by ear; however, if they should enter the following rules will apply: Players will be given a minute's advanced notice of someone coming. Under no circumstances can players talk to these guests- no matter how much they heckle you, you cannot speak to them. If you speak to a guest you are out of the competition (Shoutout to Patty and Alicia). When a guest comes in, you must stop talking to allow the guest the opportunity to talk. Production does not count as guests.
Guests cannot make personal attacks or give away game related information.
At random points through the competition, you will be asked to put on your blindfold. This is meant to disorient you and you will only be given a 1 minute warning to when these are happening.
Schedule:
9:00 PM EST: You will be standing immediately. You are allowed to move around but you must stay on camera. You must be visibly standing while on camera.
11:00 PM EST: No phones or skype, social media, etc will be allowed for the remainder of competition. Any typing, texting etc will result in instant elimination.
12:00 AM EST: Mass 5 minute bathroom break. This will be the only bathroom break.
Once break is over: You must stand in one spot and can no longer move around.
1:00 AM EST: No more food or drink is allowed
Once it gets down to 2 people, we can go off air in the event that the final two people remaining want to talk privately.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask Ashlee.
Challenge will be live and will start at 9:00 PM EST. You will be sent the link to the Google Hangout about 10-15 minutes prior to get set up.
As a final note, We do share the link to view this challenge and you may share as well, but keep this in mind as jury and prejury will be able to watch as well.
