S5C11 - Leaving Dock

Another week, another elimination. The sandy beach that could clearly be viewed from the cruise ship could not cheer up the spirits of the contestants who were inside feeling remorse. Peng sadly stood at the edge of the dock. You could easily see the worry in his eyes. The beginning of the season went by so slow...and now it seemed like all those friendly faces he saw were just...gone.

He was beginning friendships that didn't last. Sure, there was always after the cruise, but it was like he was at fault for all these people who came from different backgrounds losing their chance at glory. They all had some sort of sincerity, even if small, towards the opportunity of a win. It was a rare chance, and now there were only five people who had a 20% chance of having that smile on their face that symbolized the happiness of their win.

At least the chances were higher than earlier...

"Setting sail in half an hour, Peng," the captain announced to the host. Penguin nodded as he walked over to the mess hall to get a quick bite before talking about the eleventh challenge of the season. He needed some time to handle the fact that all of this time put into this season by the hard work and cooperation of his friends was coming to an end.

Spoil's elimination left the cast mates in a state of shock and sadness. This was worsened by the fact that they could now physically contemplate their mortality, elimination-wise. In the beginning, you could lose a challenge and have some worry about being kicked out, but it wasn't as bad as this. There were higher stakes, and every move in a challenge would affect them.

It seemed like before they signed up for this, their friendly competitors were just friendly competitors, but now, as much as they didn't want to admit it, it was becoming a battle to show that they really wanted this. Once the teams were gone, it became a gender free-for-all. Alliances were now stronger thanks to the chances to know each other, and every ounce of their blood had to be put into the challenges in order to stay in for one more week...and maybe, if lucky, another week, and so on...

Throughout all this hardships, fun was the main mission of all of the cast mates. They couldn't let rivalries and tactics destroy friendships outside of the season. Games, as serious as they have made themselves to be, cannot get rid of relationships that could last a lifetime, or even more.

-------------------------------

Wii has shown exceptional strength in challenges, giving his all every week. Even though he's been known to experience a couple strikes, he has been known for his determination to take the win. Is there a chance he can take the victory? His answer is "yer".

Bumble went into this season as a veteran of the infamous Club Penguin Neighborhood game show, and she came out in second. Now, she's on her way to the prize and the glory. Can she take the victory in order to escape the ghetto?

Lewis is making an amazing comeback this season. In the beginning, he was known for almost always getting second place, and he experienced some deadline difficulties along the way. After his victory that guaranteed him a permanent spot in the Hall of Fame, will he be able to keep his streak going?

Andre has made a name for himself as a Club Penguin Neighborhood contestant who, at first, defended Frosty, but then became one of his biggest foes. Even though he's had to leave some challenges early this season, he has always tried hard to gain the title of victorious. Will he manage to take the win, or will he end up like last time: eliminated?

Andy is one of the craziest contestants in the Final 5, but he's not there just to mess around. He gained an early lead and kept a steady amount of tickets rolling, sometimes striking gold. Will his creativeness and positive attitude help take him all the way to the end?

-------------------------------

"Hey, everyone," Peng stated, walking into the mess hall, where the finalists were hanging out and talking about strategies and tactics. "Mat and I wanted to do a little something for the sake of memories. Follow me out to the dock!"

In about five minutes, everyone was looking around, full of curiosity and paranoia over what could be coming.

Yes, that's right. Didn't see that coming, did you?

This time around, the twist isn't about a decision based around elimination. However, it's something that still may come as a shock for the contestants: we are taking away the Souvenir Shop. Not because we don't like it (Sand did an outstanding job on it!). It's just that as the game draws closer to an end, we want victories to be based on how you perform at challenges and the actual eliminations themselves, rather than someone using an immunity souvenir at, for example, a Final 3 challenge, which would basically mean that the final 2 is guaranteed the two people with immunity.

As far as tickets goes, we will refund anyone who has possession of a souvenir.

"Ok, everyone, now that you are aware of the tickets situation," Mat declared, looking over the contestants who were some of the most hardcore players of the entire season. He pulled out his brand new camera. "We wanted to take a quick picture...get in formation over at the edge."

Mat looked at the developed photo with a big smile on his face. "I can't wait to reflect back on this and remember the good times I had..."

The captain called out to the competitors and hosts. "Let's go, let's go! I don't want to reach Italy late..."

Everyone cheered as they raced back onto the ship, filled with anticipation for what was coming up. There was sadness that came with such a high position, but it came with perks.

Hey, everyone, Peng here. Hopefully you enjoyed the little story I put together for you. Now, let's get down to business. This week, we will be playing a very fun drawing game:

HOW TO PLAY

This game takes place on a site called OMGPOP. Therefore, you can get to the game through http://www.omgpop.com/. On challenge day, I will give the contestants access to a private game.

"Draw My Thing" is kind of like charades, but instead of acting out something with your body, you draw a picture based on the word you receive. Nobody else knows what your word is, so you have a short amount of time to make a photo. You will gain or lose points depending on if you guess the word or not.

For example, if you get the word "elephant", you would draw an elephant, and whoever types the word in the chat would gain points, along with the artist!

HOW TO WIN

After 1 game, whoever has the most points will take the win. If there is a tie, we will have a second game, and whoever gets the most points that game out of the people who tie will get the immunity for the week.
