Come on in guys! Immunity is back up for grabs. This challenge will take place tongiht at 5PM EST tonight.
This challenge is called 'The Exploding Ball' and here's how it works. Everyone who checks in will be labelled 1 to the number who check in, i.e 1-6 if 6 check in. The ball will follow in that order. When someone has the ball, they have 4 options.
1. Pass the ball to the next person and be guaranteed to survive, but gain no points.
2. Have a 1 in 5 shot of the ball exploding and gaining 1 point.
3. Have a 1 in 4 shot of the ball exploding and gaining 2 points.
4. Have a 1 in 3 shot of the ball exploding and gaining 3 points.
If you survive the ball exploding you get that many points. However, if the ball explodes in your possession you will be eliminated from the challenge. The ball exploding or not is chosen by random.org, so this challenge involves luck but also strategy.
The first person to get 10 points OR the last person standing will win immunity, guaranteed a 1 in 8 shot of winning this game. The losers will go to tribal council where the eighth person will be voted out of this game and become the first member of our jury.
Dana won a significant advantage in this challenge during the auction. Her options will be:
1. Pass the ball to the next person and be guaranteed to survive, but gain no points.
2. Have a 1 in 6 shot of the ball exploding and gaining 1 point.
3. Have a 1 in 5 shot of the ball exploding and gaining 2 points.
4. Have a 1 in 4 shot of the ball exploding and gaining 3 points.
So she has much better odds of the ball not exploding, but not guaranteed.
Points to note:
- The first item to show up on random.org is the outcome, e.g
"There were 3 items in your list. Here they are in random order:
Mittens gains 3 points
Mittens gains 3 points
Ball explodes
Timestamp: 2015-07-23 18:34:39 UTC"
would mean I would gain 3 points.
Whereas:
"There were 3 items in your list. Here they are in random order:
Ball explodes
Mittens gains 3 points
Mittens gains 3 points
Timestamp: 2015-07-23 18:35:17 UTC"
would mean I would be eliminated from the challenge.
Challenge is at 5PM EST tonight. Good luck!
