Each set of tribemates would have to locate a bucket in the maze, navigate the rest of the maze to a tower, fill the bucket with water from the tower, return to the beginning of the maze, and empty the bucket into a container which would raise a flag. Once the water container was filled enough to raise a flag, the process would have to be repeated again, this time filling the buckets with corn from a different tower. The first tribe to raise both flags would win."

They also send Goku to Exile Island, while he sends Sena.

EXILE ISLAND:

SENA gets the Idol clue but does not mutiny.

IMMUNITY:

"One tribe member at a time would race along a winding path to retrieve a puzzle piece. Each puzzle piece is a large wooden triangular prism with letters written on each of the three faces. Once eight puzzle pieces are retrieved, they would need to be placed in their correct spot in a frame. The pieces would then need to be rotated to display a scrambled phrase. The first tribe to solve their puzzle would win."

JALAPAO FINALLY WINS IMMUNITY!!!!

EVENTS:

JALAPAO: NANO FINDS THE IDOL!
TIMBIRA: Sena shares the clue BUT FINDS THE IDOL HIMSELF! His behavior is also being appreciated around camp.

#2 (8): Dandy (9), Chun-Li (8), Sesshomaru (7), Tsuyu (6)

REWARD:

"A tribe member would sit on a spinning platform at one end of the playing field. Another tribe member would start at the other end and race across to the platform, grab a rope and pull it back to the starting line. The rope would be wound around the base of the platform, causing the platform to spin as the rope is unwound. When the 'puller' returned to the finish line, the sitting tribe member, now dizzy, would have to race across a balance beam to the finish line. The tribes would race against each other in rounds with the first dizzy tribe member across the finish line scoring one point for their tribe. The first tribe to score three points would win."

TIMBIRA wins a trip to a café!

They send The Major to Exile Island, and she sends Chun-Li.

EXILE ISLAND:

CHUN-LI gets the clue and chooses to mutiny!

IMMUNITY:

"Two tribemates from each tribe would alternate launching balls from a slingshot while the remaining four tribemates have to catch the balls with handheld nets. Catching a ball would score one point for their tribe. The first tribe to reach five points would win."

JALAPAO wins Immunity again!

The tribes would then have to toss small ceramic pigs from tribemate to tribemate through the two frames, avoiding breaking them against the barricade or dropping them. The tribe which tosses the most number of intact pigs through the frames after ten minutes would win."

JALAPAO wins a trip to a waterfall and a barbecue with hamburgers!

They send Bulma to Exile Island, and she sends Chun-Li.

EXILE ISLAND:

BULMA finds the clue but does not mutiny.

IMMUNITY:

"Each tribe would use a slingshot to shoot out a tile in three towers full of sand. After a tile is broken, the sand would be released from the tower which would cause a bag of puzzle pieces to be released and the tile at the next tower to be uncovered. The same tribe member could do all of the shooting with the slingshot or different shooters may be substituted. Once all three bags of puzzle pieces were collected, two tribe members would have to assemble the puzzle to win the challenge."

JALAPAO wins Immunity! THE COMEBACK IS ON!

ORIGINAL TIMBIRA (4): Bulma (5), Harley (5), Sena (4), Dandy (3), Naoto (3)


REWARD:

"The castaways would be divided into teams of three: black, red, and white. The teams would have a row of eight team-colored ceramic tiles on frames belonging to them. Playing in rounds, one member from each team would throw a metal ball at the other two team's tiles to try to break them. When all eight tiles of a team were broken, the team would be out of the challenge. The last team with an intact tile would win."

NANO, GOKU, and HARLEY win a whitewater rafting trip down the Rio Novo and a picnic!

They also send Sena to Exile Island.

IMMUNITY:

"The castaways would be attached to a rope which is thread through three of obstacles, for which the castaways would have to climb under, over, or around. The first three castaways to finish would move on to the next round. The next round's challenge would be the same, but with a single obstacle three levels high. The first castaway to complete the obstacle would win."

NAOTO wins Immunity!

EVENTS: Naoto and Sena bond slightly.

TRIBAL COUNCIL:

NANO PLAYS HER IDOL!

EPISODE NINE: "HOW MUCH MORE"



JURY: Goku


PRE-MERGE ALLIANCES:

JALAPAO:

#2 (8): Kanji (9), Naoto (6)

TIMBIRA:

#1 (3): Harley (3), Sena (3), Bulma (3)
#2 (9): Dandy (9), Chun-Li (8)

NEW ALLIANCES:

ORIGINAL JALAPAO (4): Nano (5), Chun-Li (3), Kanji (3)
ORIGINAL TIMBIRA (4): Bulma (5), Harley (5), Sena (4), Dandy (3), Naoto (3)

REWARD:

"Each of the castaways would fill out a questionnaire about the tribe in private, then the results would be tallied and the Challenge would begin. The questions would be posed to the group and the castaways would guess whose name was written most often. Each time a castaway guesses the correct answer, they would get one chop at a rope assigned to another castaway. After three chops, the rope would be released, which would smash an idol, removing that castaway from the challenge. The last castaway whose idol is not smashed would win."

Somehow, the simulator thought this was China as it used the China reward of a Lishui River cruise. For the sake of ease, I will just say there was a tie somehow and the trip to a natural spring and a home cooked, traditional Brazilian feast made by a local family was won by SENA, KANJI, DANDY, and NANO.

And Bulma goes to Exile Island.

IMMUNITY:

"The castaways would play a version of shuffleboard. Each castaway would be given three pucks which they would try to slide closest to the target. The castaway whose puck ends up closest to the target would win. In addition, if any of the contestants did not want to participate, they would get to eat pizza for the duration of the challenge."

SENA wins Immunity!

(And now I notice that the simulator has things switched around on reward, I think, as far as what challenge occurs. I will fix this post if that is the case.)

EVENTS: Sena's behavior is rubbing the tribe the wrong way.

TRIBAL COUNCIL:

Chun-Li is voted out over Naoto 5-3 and becomes the second member of the Jury. DragonMasterP is out.

C-L: Naoto, Bulma, Kanji, Sena, Harley
N: Chun-Li, Dandy, Nano

ORIGINAL TIMBIRA (4): Bulma (5), Harley (5), Sena (4), Dandy (3), Naoto (3)


REWARD:

I was right. The previous Reward challenge was SUPPOSED to be a phrase solving puzzle. THIS is the questionnaire challenge with the natural spring trip. NAOTO wins and shares with SENA and HARLEY.

Annnnnnnnnnd Bulma gets sent to Exile Island yet again. I will edit the above post later.

IMMUNITY:

The castaways would toss a grappling hook to retrieve three bags. The first three castaways to retrieve all of their bags would move on to the final round. In the final round, the three would compete in a labyrinth game. The first to finish would win."

NAOTO wins Immunity!

And he sends Dandy, so Bulma gets to avoid Exile for a change.

IMMUNITY:

"The castaways would have to go through an obstacle course of digging underneath a log, crossing a balance beam, and under a rope crawl. The castaways would then run across a field to where a spinning series of ten mathematical symbols would be displayed. The castaways would have to memorize the sequence of symbols, run back to starting line through the obstacles, and use the symbols in the correct order to solve a math equation. The first castaway to solve the math problem would win."

SENA wins Immunity!

TRIBAL COUNCIL:

Bulma is voted out over Dandy 5-1 and becomes the fourth member of the Jury. Thus endeth Big Bad Brad this season.

KANJI wins a trip to the Governor's Retreat, sharing reward with NAOTO!

Dandy gets sent to Exile again.

IMMUNITY:

"The castaways would brace themselves with their arms between two walls while standing barefoot on two foot pegs. Every 15 minutes, the castaways would move down to smaller foot pegs.

NAOTO wins Immunity!

The castaway would have to catch the ball and drop the ball back into the chute at the top. Every few minutes, an additional ball would be added to the track until eight balls were simultaneously going around the track. A turnstile gate in the middle of the track would rotate, causing the balls to alternate exiting out of the two exits. If a ball exits the track and is not caught, the castaway would be eliminated from the challenge. To make the challenge more difficult, each castaway would have one hand tied behind their backs."

So a new Sole Survivor has been crowned, but there are many stops to go before the ALL-STARS season, and the next locale, in real life Survivor, was where one of the most notorious villains in the game's history made his name.

OK, so maybe we won't have a Russell Hantz of our own, but who knows?
