Come on in guys.
Monica voted out at Tribal Council. Nine remain!
Mookie and Carolyn, I'll take back Immunity.
Tonight, one Immunity necklace is up for grabs, but that's not all...
SAUSAGE LINK RETURNS!
This was a twist that popped up several times during Sausage Island VIII. Tonight, we're bringing it back. Here's how it works:
The player who wins the upcoming Immunity challenge not only wins safety, but power as well. They will start off a Sausage Link. This works like a chain. That player will choose one person to be SAFE at the upcoming Tribal Council. That player will then choose another player, and so on.
This will continue until there's a bottom four - the four players who were not chosen in the link. These four players will be the ONLY players vulnerable to receive votes at the upcoming Tribal Council. One of those four players will be voted out.
This will impact the round in a major way. In order to be safe, you need to make sure someone chooses you for the link if you don't win the challenge yourself.
The link will play out LIVE immediately following the results of this challenge, Sunday at 9:30. Update your bootlist ASAP. If you aren't here to make your link selection, you'll automatically choose the player who is lowest on your bootlist (least want to vote out). If we need to use your bootlist for a Sausage Link and you do not have one, you will automatically be sent to the bottom. The player who chose before you will chose the next in line.
More details will be given on the Link process as it happens Sunday night. Until then, let's get to your challenge. It's called...
A good old fashion endurance! Here's how it works:
When you're ready to begin, create a new thread in your confessional titled "Immunity Challenge #10"
You'll each be assembling a replica of an ancient Aztec temple using very heavy stone slabs, pictured below:
Your goal is to built the highest temple possible and successfully climb back down. Every
five minutes, you must post that stone slab image for as long as you can.
But your work doesn't end there. Once you're satisfied with how high you've built, you must immediately start to climb down. To do this, simply switch from posting the stone image to posting "[Name] climbs down". You will also do this every five minutes, and you must begin five minutes after posting your final stone slab (in the same thread).
Your challenge attempt will fail unless you successfully climb all the way back down to the ground, one post to climb down for every stone post you made. Here's an example of a player creating a three stone high temple:
If you miss any of those five minute marks (seconds don't matter), you've failed and your attempt was unsuccessful. If you don't climb back down enough times to equal your stone slab posts, you've also failed. When you're climbing up, be sure to keep in mind that you still have to climb back down.
You only have ONE attempt.
Brice bought Rory's Hook at the Auction. This gives him an advantage in this challenge.
Using Rory's Hook, if Brice misses a post, he'll catch himself with the hook before falling and may continue the challenge. This can only be done for ONE mistake. Anything after that will end his attempt. If you miss a five minute mark, you must post again on the very next five minute mark in order to continue. If you miss that one, your attempt will end.
The player to build the highest temple successfully will win Immunity and start off the Sausage Link - an enormous and possibly game changing advantage. If there was ever a time to step it up, it would be now. If you have any questions, post them below.
You have 48 hours to attempt the challenge. The challenge will end right at 9:00 PM EST on Sunday. If you're still attempting the challenge at that time, you'll be automatically stopped. Be sure to start climbing back down with enough time to spare before that deadline.
Survivor's ready?
GO!
