Overcome



Hello, everyone. This is Overcome, a collab fanfiction written by Plat and Leshawnafan. 20 abandoned teens are stranded in an abandoned desert trying to overcome their differences. In the end, there will be one winner, who will "Overcome" the rest.

Characters and Bios
Shayna (The Shy One): Shayna has always been an outcast, because of her awkward personality. She signed up for Overcome so she could break out of her shell, and become a person people want to be around.

Bree (The Strategic one): Bree is a very smart girl, no matter what situation she is thrown in. She knows all the moves ahead of time, and how to execute them. She has a bit of a big ego and personality, but she only let’s that slip through when she knows its ok. She signed up for Overcome to show how strategic and smart she actually is.

Alexa (The Pretty One): Alexa has always been the girl everyone wants to be with or be. She knows that and uses it to her advantage in challenges. She isn’t the smartest person you will meet, but she isn’t dumb. She can make smart moves, and survive on her own. Alexa signed up for Overcome to show looks aren’t everything, even though there a nice thing to have.

Jennifer (The Odd Ball): Jennifer is quite a unique and odd character. She always tries to do the craziest stunts and activities, like sky diving, and swimming with sharks. No one else has really understood her humor or interest in things like this, so she’s a bit of an oddball and outcast. She signed up for Overcome because it was just another crazy activity she hasn’t tried yet.

Cassandra (The mysterious one): Not much is known about Cassandra. She has flown under the radar of life, with no written records on her, no relatives to talk to, and no one even knew who she was. We don’t even know why she signed up for Overcome. We just wanted to see what she was like because of her mysterious background.

Todd (The “Street Smarts” one) : Todd thinks he knows everything that there is to know. He calls it “Street Smarts.” There’s only one problem: He actually doesn’t. This attitude is something that could backfire on him in the competition. He signed up for Overcome because he wants to show off the “street smarts” that he actually doesn’t have.

Kevin (The Nerd): Kevin loves reading books, playing chess, watching insects, studying science related things, etc. You can basically call him the “supreme nerd.” But hey, being a nerd could actually be an advantage for him. He signed up for Overcome to show off his nerd like personality, and to “nerdify” our group.

Derek (The Athlete): Derek has always loved any type of sport. If it has a ball, a net, any other equipment, you name it, he plays it. He could be called the perfect athlete or not, but because of this, he is very competitive. He signed up for Overcome because it’s just another competition for him.

Boris (The unfriendly one): Boris has never been a very nice person. When he was little and in Elementary school, he was teased and bullied because of how different his name was. All that torment turned him into the bully, and now he’s a bully. He lives to point out people’s flaws, and make their lives as uncomfortable as possible. He joined Overcome just to do this.

Collin (The Colllector): Collin has always been a big collector. Whether it’s bugs, toy cars, marbles, cards, anything that can be collected, he will collect it. He is a bit of a nerd, because he knows everything there is to know about what he collects. He signed up for Overcome to collect new things while they are competing.

Santa (The Lovable Fat Guy)- Santa joined Overcome to overcome being ridiculed for being overweight. He is nice and friendly to everyone, however, most people see his outer beauty rather than his inside beauty. When Santa was five, he was so obese that the children in his class called him "Santa" and the name stuck to him throughout his life. Santa's real name is Jake, but even his own parents forgot his real name. Why should he win? It'll help him gain some lost confidence.

Adam (The Class Clown)- Adam is the class clown who always screws up. He makes comments at the wrong times, and constantly gets sent to detention. Adam's parents forced him onto to the show to try to get more serious. However, Adam prepares to survive the desert by partying and chilling, and caring less about the actual game. Adam doesn't care about life, as he thinks that it is all one huge joke. Why should he win? He thinks that him winning will be a huge ironic joke.

Seth (The Asian Sensation)- Seth has spent his life playing video games and practicing karate all of his life. He is forced to go to learn Chinese, and his parents forbid him to have any sort of social life. However, Seth secretly signed up for Overcome to try to regain his childhood that he has never lived. He will use his karate skips to his advantage, but doesn't know how to make friends. Why should he win? Seth thinks that the money he will win will help him gain a social life.

Soup (The Bully)- Soup is very insecure. Soup has been beating up people ever since he was two, after he learned that his parents named him while eating lunch. Soup has always had low grades, but he is extremely athletic and attractive. However, his main weakness is his inability to see the goodness in people's hearts, as he bullies others before they can ridicule his name. Why should he win? Because he will beat up a nerd if he doesn't.

Bob (The Mysterious Guitarist)- Bob has been practicing the guitar since the age of five. He always has been intrigued by music, and has already started his own band to try to make albums. However, Bob is seperated from society because of his constant efforts at music. He prefers rock and roll over modern music, and joined Overcome to spread his knowledge across the world. Why should he win? He should win to promote the well being of classic rock.

Maria (The Latin Chick)- Maria has lived in Miami all of her life. She has been surrounded by Cubans and is fluent in Spanish as well as English. Maria was always generally liked by her classmates, and was persuaded by her best friend to join the show. She joined Overcome to have a fun time, and also to overcome some stereotypes attached to her. She wants to also show some girl dominance in the game. Why should she win? It would be an honor to her family.

Hayley (The Popular Chick)- Hayley has always been really popular in her school. She has always been flirty, and uses her looks to fly through school. She heard about Overcome, and wanted to share her beauty around the world. Basically, she joined for selfish reasons. She has no intention on making friends, as she would like the money to shop, shop, and shop some more. Why should she win? It would be an honor to my....just kidding, I want it for totally selfish reasons.

Snitchy (The Overachiever)- Snitchy has been getting straight "A"'s all of her life. She always aims higher than she achieves, and yells at people when she doesn't get what she wants. Her life has always been overachieving, and she is the lead role in her school play. Her name was made after she started organizing her Binkies from birth. She always says her name with pride, even though she is secretly embarrassed. Why should she win? She is aiming for first. Anything lower than that would be an unadjusted goal.

Girl (The Follower)- Read everyone else's bio. Why should she win? Ask someone else.

Hannah (The Clueless One)- Hannah has never been the brightest apple out of the bunch. She has been struggling in school, and has been constantly mocked for being blonde. However, contrary to most stereotypes, she has never gone out with a guy, nor ever plans to. She knows that going out will just cause conflict with her already harsh life. She joined Overcome to try to gain more knowledge and try to survive reality. Why should she win? It would remove her stereotype at school.

Chapter 1: A Sandy Beginning
20 bodies were lying on the ground as a single man approached them. The unconscious bodies breathed in rhythm and were synchronized. The man studied the 20 bodies, looking them all over to get an impression from them. This was the first time he had met them. Suddenly he pulled out a megaphone from the bag by his right side, and started shouting into it.

“Wake up! This is no time to be sleeping,” the man shouted.

Suddenly the bodies began to stir, and one by one, everyone began to regain consciousness. Slowly standing up, the 20 looked confused, turning there head’s to check out the new environment they were in. The group was very diverse, containing the same amount of girls and boys, and they all looked to have a different approach to the new place they’ve been thrown into. One boy, in particular, even began to venture away from the group.

“Wow, I’ve never been to a place like this before!” The boy confessed as he bent over to pick something off of the ground. “Just what I need to complete my collection.”

“Yeah, yeah, we get it; you’re a nerd who likes to collect things. Big whoop. What I want to know is why we are here and who the heck are you?” A black haired girl questioned, focusing her gaze on the man with the megaphone.

“Settle down, settle down. And you, freak show picking up the random stuff off the floor, get over here,” the man ordered as he watched the boy come strolling back over.

“You are all here for one reason: Overcome. That is the name of the show you signed up for. I’m the host, Crag, or, you could call me my nickname: The coolest man alive.”

“I’d rather come over and smack you,” said the black haired girl while she was patting her clothes.

“Oh feisty! Anyways, why don’t we introduce ourselves, and then I’ll split you guys up into your teams! Let’s start with you, miss “I’m so tough, I can slap the most annoying guy I see!”

The black haired girl rolled her eyes. “My name’s Bree. Remember that name because I’m gonna be going all the way to the end!”

“Yeah yeah, miss overconfident over here thinks she can survive. Just wait till you get to the challenge! Next!” Crag called as a larger guy stepped forward.

“Hi my names Ja-, I mean Santa,” the boy sighed. “At school, I was giving the name “Santa” because of how big I am and I guess happy? But my real name is Jake, so feel free to call me that whenever you want.”

The girl next to him had been fiddling with her hair the whole time, and looked the most confused. “My name’s Hannah and I don’t really understand this? Where am I? How did I get here? Why isn’t my pet dog here with me?”

“So many questions. Hush for now, don’t steal my spotlight. You don’t want to be kicked out already, do you?” Crag asked.

“Ummm no?”

“Sorry to interrupt your idiot conversation, but I think it’s my time. My name’s Hayley. Don’t stare at me for to long, even though I know that’ll be hard.”

A boy at the end of the row began to speak, pulling out a hacky sack to kick around. “My name’s Derek. I play every sport known to man. It’s kind of my thing.”

“Hi, I’m Alexa! I love to accessorize. If I knew we were going to be in a place like this, I would’ve worn something that suited and matched this place.”

“Umm same as her?” One girl said as soon as Alexa was done talking.

“Ah Twins!” Crag exclaimed as he eyed Alexa and the other girl.

“No, I just don’t have anything to say. I’m not really unique. You can call me “Girl.” That’s what everyone else calls me back home, because I don’t stand out.” Girl confessed, looking down to the ground.

“Did I ask for your life story? Next!”

“Yo, I’m Todd. I’m the most alert and ‘Street smartest’ person you’ll ever meet! I know everything there is to know and that’s why I’m so ‘street smart.’”

Crag, with a confused look on his face mutters, “That’s not street smarts at all.”

“Did you say something?” Todd questioned.

“No not at all. Next!”

A girl with curly brown hair, and hazel eyes began to speak, but very quietly as if she were trying to speak without waking a baby. “My name is uhhh Shayna……”

“Awkward. Ok then, next!”

“WOOOOHOOO!!!! Hi everyone! My name’s Jennifer, with an “f”, not a “ph.” Isn’t this show just amazing? I think it is! I want to do the challenge! Now!” Jennifer exclaimed, jumping up and down.

“Control yourself. We still have more people to introduce. Why don’t I give you this flashlight to play with?” Crag pulled a flashlight out of the bag, and handed it to Jennifer.

“Oh where’s the light? Flashlights are useless without the lights!” Jennifer fiddled around with the flashlight, when a mysterious looking girl stepped forward.

“Let me guess, you’re the one who randomly showed up for casting and never filled out the application but somehow got on? Shocker. This show would put a worm on if it entertained the audience.” Crag said, shaking his head in disapproval.

“My name’s Cassandra. That’s all you need to know, and get to know.”

“You’re a woman of a view words, I see. Whatever, as long as you don’t annoy me. Next!”

“Yeah hi, my name’s Boris. I don’t really do introductions. I’d rather be hitting a nerd right now.”

“Hey I can’t judge your life decisions. Next!” Crag shouted as a small boy, with taped glasses and a pocket full of pens on his shirt.

“I’m Kevin. I’m allergic to almost everything, and I get straight A’s in school.”

“Get over here so I can hit you nerd!” Boris shouted from the opposite end of the line.

“I’m Collin! I love collecting things, like my new pet salamander Joey! I have like 20 salamanders at home, with a bunch of different plants, rocks, and food in there home. I also have-”

“Ok that’s enough; I don’t need a layout of your room at home! Next!” Crag replied, losing his patience. “You know what, why don’t you all just say your name from now on, we don’t have all day.”

“I’m Adam. I’m kind of funny to everyone, but I like making people laugh.”

“I’m Seth. Many people call me The Asian Sensation. I don’t find it racist, I find it quite funny.”

“I’m Soup. Yeah I know, ha ha, his name is a food people eat. If you laugh, I’ll make it a personal duty to hurt you. Got it?” Every one of the contestants nodded to show that they understood.

A boy with a guitar slung over his shoulders stepped forward. “I’m Bob. I like playing guitar, mostly Rock, and that’s why I came here, so I could spread the music!”

“Hi, I’m Maria, and I think it’s so cool to be competing in this show! This is a shout out to my BFF who mad me join this show! Thanks!”

“I’m Snitchy. I guess people call me that because I’m an overachiever, and I arranged my binkies when I was young. But the name fits me, and I’ve gotten use to it.”

“And last but not least, you,” Crag pointed to a girl standing next to Bree in the line.

“Yeah, I’m Hayley. You all will want to be friends with me soon, because I’m just that cool.”

Bree rolled her eyes. “Whatever you say miss ‘I’m so cool and everyone must love me.’”

“Finally! Now we can move on to teams. This time, you have been put together based on your personalities and gender. On Team 1 we have Collin, Kevin, Seth, Adam, and Santa. Please go to the green flag over there.” Crag pointed to the green flag, sitting in the sand about a foot away.

The whole team walked over to the flag, and began talking and introducing themselves to each other.

“On Team 2 we have Boris, Derek, Todd, Bob, and Soup. Please go stand by the blue flag.”

“Yes, there are no nerds on our team,” Soup exclaimed while high fiving Boris.

“On Team 3 we have Alexa, Bree, Snitchy, Hayley, and Maria. Go stand by the pink flag.”

“And on Team 4 we have Jennifer, Cassandra, Girl, Hannah, and Shayna. Go stand by the yellow flag.”

All the teams were now standing by there flags, and waiting to here about the challenge.

“Do we have team names?” Snitchy questioned as she looked at Crag.

“Nope, you’ll get to choose those after the challenge. Ok so let’s get down to business. If you haven’t already noticed,” Crag looks over to Hannah who still looks confused. “We’re at an abandoned desert. I thought all deserts were abandoned since who would want to live here, but hey, like I said, I don’t judge people’s life decisions. The whole season will take place right here. We will be staying at the camp right over there,” Crag points to 5 tents set up around an R.V. which is there source of food.

“That’s all we get? But what about my allergies! I need something better than this,” Kevin complained, already wiping his nose as if his allergies were acting up.

“Let me assure you, you’re all safe here, unless you know a hungry snake or coyote stumbles upon the camp. Then you might not be so safe. The elimination ceremonies will take place right here, around this fire. Everyone who is safe will get a cactus statue, and whoever doesn’t receive one will follow that trail to a helicopter where you will be taken back home. Got it?”

The contestants nodded there heads in understanding.

“Good. Now let me explain your challenge. Each team will have a camel, which is standing right behind you now.”

Bree turned around to see a camel staring her right in the face. “Ahhh. Oh I hate it when things sneak up on me.”

“Calm down, Camel’s are harmless.” Snitchy explained.

“I wonder if I could collect some of the hair to take home to continue my collection of fur from desert animals,” Collin pondered. His team gave him weird looks as he turned around to face Crag.

“Now that all your complaining and nerd talk is done, let me continue. This challenge is a camel race to a marked area of the desert. First team there will get the reward, last team will send someone home, and the other 3 teams will just be lucky.”

“Yo, do we get a tracking device or something to help us get there?” Todd asked a question many of the contestants probably had.

“Nope. You have to find it yourself. Don’t worry though, it’s not hard to find. Oh, and one last twist. Each team must carry a cactus with them on there camel. If you cross without the cactus or all your teammates, you’ll have to go back for them. So, to sum it up, last one to cross loses, and you must have all team members and the cactus with you when you cross. Got it?”

The contestants nodded as they all began to get on there camels. The hard part would be carrying the cactus.

“How are we supposed to carry a cactus when they have needle things in them? Those could hurt us,” Seth complained, as him and his team were trying to figure out how to carry it.

“I don’t know. That’s part of the challenge figure it out yourself. Ready? Go!” Crag blew a whistle and the challenge had officially started. No one had yet to find a way to carry the cactus with them as well though.

“How the heck do we carry this thing without it stabbing us?” Bree questioned as her team was trying to figure out what to do.

On the other side, Boris and his team had begun to devise a plan.

“If we all take off our shirts, we can put the cactus in there. Besides, it’s not a full size cactus; it’s just a medium sized one. The shirts will keep the needles from stabbing us, so it works!” Boris explained to his team.

“Right on!” Soup took off his shirt, and then leaned over to whisper in Boris’s ear. “You and I could go all the way to the end! Let’s make an alliance and take all the nerds down!”

Boris nodded in agreement, so he wouldn’t give anything away to his fellow team mates.

“See you at the finish line losers!” Derek shouted back to the three teams as his team began their treacherous race to the end point.

“Umm we can’t do what they’re doing, right?” Hannah asked, as she began to mess with her hair again.

“Of course we can’t, were girls! But, you messing with your hair has given me an idea. Why don’t we use hair bands? We could put the cactus around the leg of the camel! Since it’s not too big, and the camel has fur, it should work!” Jennifer said, as she began to collect everyone’s hair bands. She then tied the cactus down on the camel’s leg, and they began there race to the end.

With only 2 teams still pondering how they could get the cactus to the end, it looked like it would be Team 2 and Team 4 who were battling out first place for the moment.

“We’re falling behind! Come on guys, were the smartest people out here! We need an idea!” Adam complained, and tried to motivate his team.

“Why don’t we hold the cactus upside down? There are no needles on the base of it, and we could take turns doing it.” Seth explained, trying to get everyone to approve his idea.

“I think that’ll work! We just have to be very careful to not hit anyone with the needles.” Kevin agreed. Team 1 picked up their cactus, and began their race. But one teammate forgot something of his. Collin had accidently dropped Joey when he was climbing onto the camel, and was oblivious to that.

“We’re the last team? We can’t be last! I will not go to vote someone off tonight!” Snitchy shouted, stomping her feet into the sand.

“Well maybe if you did a little less complaining, and a little more thinking about our problem, then we might be in first instead of dead last.” Bree complained, obviously getting mad at Snitchy.

Suddenly, Crag walked over to them. “Oh, I forgot to tell you. Do you see that little port-a-potty over there? That’s a confessional. Say whatever you like to it, whenever.”

Bree: (CONF) “Well this is my first time using this……..Snitchy annoys the heck out of me. She’s all talk. She thinks she’s all that. Well if she was all that, we would be winning this challenge right now! *exits confessional.* “Why don’t we use that piece of rope in Crag’s bag over there, and tie the cactus to the camel’s tail, so that it’s dragging in the sand, but still with us?” Alexa suggested.

“I like it! That way I don’t have to hurt myself! Yay, you’re gonna be my bff! We’re gonna go to the end together!” Hannah exclaimed as she ran over and hugged Alexa.

“How do we get the rope though? We can’t just steal something that belongs to Crag. What if he finds out?”

“Who cares? If he really cared about it, he wouldn’t have left this whole bag behind. Wait a minute, why don’t we just dump everything out of this bag and put the cactus in here? The bag is definitely big enough!” Bree announced, looking around at her teammates.

Her teammates nodded in approval, and Bree picked up the cactus, emptied the bag, and placed the cactus in the bag. The whole team climbed onto the Camel, and they, the last team, began there race, trying to catch up to everyone else.

The race was supposed to last over 3 hours, as Crag waited at the finish line, sleeping in a lawn chair. Team 2 and 4 were neck and neck, halfway done the challenge. Both had control of there cactus, and didn’t seem to be letting up. In the mean time, Team 3 seemed to be catching up to team 1, who seemed to be heading into trouble.

Collin began to feel around his pocket, and noticed Joey was not in it. “Oh no! Guys, we need to go back. I must’ve dropped Joey when I was getting on the camel!”

“We can’t turn around! We’ll lose if we do! We’re already tied for last, let’s just keep on going!” Seth said, making sure they didn’t stop moving on there camel.

“No. Either I get off the camel and go back to get Joey, or we all go back. Either way I’m getting Joey.”

Collin’s team looked at him, thinking about what they should do. The team’s camel turned around, and they made there way back to the start line to pick up Joey.

“Woohoo! We’ve taken 3rd place girls!” Maria cheered as her team took 3rd place.

Team 2 and Team 4 were both 3 feet away from the finish line, as Collin’s team had just gotten back to the beginning.

“Joey! I’ve found you! I’m so sorry for leaving you behind! It’ll never happen again, I promise!” Collin got back on the camel, making sure he had Joey securely in his hand, and his team began the race once again.

Team 2 and 4 had tied for first place, now it was all just up to Snitchy’s team and Collin’s team. Collin’s team was not even halfway there when Snitchy’s team got into sight of the finish line.

“Ohh come on you camel, move faster so we don’t have to vote someone off!” Bree exclaimed, getting excited.

“Why are you talking to the camel?” Hayley questioned.

“I was just telling it to hurry up.”

Bree’s team crossed the finish line.

“Well, it looks like we have our 3 winner! Since it was a tie for first, so no one receives the awards.” Crag announced.

At that very moment, Collin’s team crossed the finish line and joined the others.

“Well hello there losers! Looks like I’ll be seeing you 5 at the elimination ceremony. Ok, so let me tell you your team names.”

“Woah, I thought you said we got to choose our team names!” Bob said, looking angry.

“I lied, it’s something I do. You should get use to it. Like I would let you pick your names! Ok, Team 1 since you’re the losers, your Team Cactus, hence the green flag. Team 2, since you have the color Blue, you’re Team Sky. Team 3, the pink team…………well there aren’t any pink things in the desert….. But you do all have make up bags, so Team Make-up! And last, but not least, the yellow team, which will be now known as Team Sand! Ok, Team Sand, Sky, and Make-up, go back to your tents and have a good night. Team Cactus, meet me at the fire pit.”

Team Cactus followed Crag back to the fire pit, and sat down on a long piece of log.

“Ok, so here’s what happens. You each go over to the confessional, right down who you want voted off on the piece of paper provided, and then I’ll count the votes.”

Collin walked over to the confessional, and voted. “I vote Seth, he was about to not let me go get Joey!”

Seth went over and voted. “Collin. You made us lose. We were right there, and you made us turn around.”

The other 3 voted, and Crag went and got the votes.

“Who ever does not receive a cactus idol, must collect all there belongings, and follow the trail to the helipad. I will read the votes now. “Ok, the first Cactus goes to Adam. The next one goes to Kevin. Nice job Santa. And last but not least……………………………..Seth. Sorry Collin, it’s time for you to go.”

Collin looked shocked, and gathered his belongings, and sulked down the trail to the helipad, dragging his bag full of his things. Joey popped his head of Collin’s pocket, and Collin went onto the helicopter.

“Well, that wasn’t surprising…..at all! See you next time on Overcome!”

Chapter 2: And the Conflict Has Only Begun…
Team Cactus was staring into the distance after the most recent elimination.

“I can’t believe we lost that challenge!” screamed Seth. “And why did you guys vote me off?” “Uh….because you are weak?” says Santa.

“Well, we all are nerds,” said Kevin. “Hopefully there will be some sort of trivia challenge that we can ace.”

“But what if it is an athletic challenge?” whimpers Adam.

“Well, we are going to have to try our hardest,” answers Santa.

(CONF) “I have taken leadership over this tribe,” said Santa. “For once in my life, I should be able to get somewhere and not be called fat and pimply.”

“Why should we listen to you? You’re fat and pimply,” said Seth ironically.

“Don’t say that! The truth hurts!” says Kevin.

“That’s it, I am so getting rid of you,” says Santa.

“Well, there’s nothing we can do about it now,” says Adam. “Anyone wanna hear a joke?”

Kevin, Santa, and Seth nod to the class clown.

“How would be an easy way to kill Hannah?”

“I dunno,” answers Kevin.

“Put a scratch and sniff sticker at the bottom of a pool!” laughs Adam.

Seth took offense to this, as he is not a fan of stereotypes.

“Is that a blonde joke?” he asks.

“Come on, it’s all in good fun, right?” asks Adam.

(CONF) “You know, it’s hard to crack a joke when everyone on your team is a nerd,” says Adam. “They need to learn to chill out every once in a while.”

Team Cactus waited for their destiny to occur….

Meanwhile, at Team Sky, there were alliances being made.

“So, you and I are the strongest and coolest people out here,” says Boris.

“That’s sorta obvious,” cockily answers Soup.

“Well, anyways,” starts Boris. “Which chicks do you think here are hot?”

“That’s an awkward question to ask right away,” says Soup. “I honestly haven’t looked at any of them close enough.” “Do you think we should include Todd in our alliance?” asks Boris.

“Sure, he’s cool,” answers Soup.

Soup and Boris walk up to Todd.

“Hey, dude, wanna join us to the end?” asks Soup.

“Sure, whatevs,” answers Todd, trying to be cool.

Meanwhile, Bob and Derek were hanging out on their own.

“I mean, I would hang out with Soup and Boris,” starts Derek. “But they beat up people for fun, which is not something I would do.”

“Yea, same here, I’d rather play on my guitar or play sports than pick on others,” says Bob.

“Well, let them do what they like,” says Derek. “I’ll do what I consider to be the right thing to do.”

Derek and Bob walked away and saw Soup, Boris, and Todd talking about girls. They overheard the conversation.

“You know who I like?” asks Boris. “That Alexa girl. She doesn’t look too bad.”

“Well, I think that Hayley girl is pretty attractive,” says Todd. “How’s about you Soup?”

“Like I said, I haven’t really looked at any yet,” he says. “I’ll tell you guys later.”

Bob and Derek glared at them and snuck off.

At Team Make Up, clicks were forming already.

“Since all of us are awesome,” says Hayley, “we are going to make two clicks: popular-popular, and not so popular. Alexa and I are going to be awesome, and the rest of you three are going to be our followers.”

“Who put you in charge?” snaps Bree.

“Uh….I did,” answers Hayley. “Do you have a problem with that?”

“Calm down…..don’t get too mad,” Bree says to herself.

“Well, I’m not liking this,” says Maria. “These people here are mean.”

“So, why don’t we get our revenge?” asks Bree.

“Sure,” whispers Maria. Meanwhile, Snitchy was arguing with Hayley and Alexa.

“Well, I should be in the popular group too! I don’t understand why you guys don’t like me!” she yelled.

“No one likes bratty overachievers,” answered Hayley. “All you will do is nerd up the group.”

“Not true!” yelled Snitchy. “I am a very intelligent person who will not go down without a fight!”

“Whatever,” answer Alexa and Hayley. “You are pathetic.”

“I will get my revenge!” she yelled.

“Don’t worry,” says Bree, coming into the situation. “I will help you with that “revenge” situation, all right, hon?”

Bree comforted Snitchy while Team Sand had plans of their own. Well, they didn’t have too many strategic plans going on. Everyone there was procrastinating until the next challenge. In fact, the only one talking was Jennifer.

“So, what’s your name?” she asked to Hannah. “Um….my what?” Hannah responded.

“Never mind, you’re of no use. How’s about you?” she asked to Girl.

“Never mind, you’re of no use. How’s about you?” asked Girl.

“Um….that’s what I just…” Jennifer started.

“…asked you,” answers Girl.

“Wow, you are really creepy,” says Jennifer. “I’ll just find some other friends….hey, Cassandra, is it?”

Cassandra nodded her head, and wrote in a small notebook. Jennifer rolled her eyes and looked and Shayna. Before she could utter a word, Shayna walked away almost in tears.

“What an ‘’interesting’’ group of people,” Jennifer mutters.

Crag finally appears announcing the next challenge.

“Today, the challenge is a trivia game!”

“Yes, this is so awesome!” yells Kevin. “This is perfect!”

“Hey, that’s unfair,” exclaims Soup. “None of us are nerds.”

“Well, that sucks for you!” laughs Crag. “Anyways, I will have one member for each team answer a trivia question. The ones who answer correctly win immunity and will have tiebreakers, if necessary. Now let me see the choices!”

After some discussion, Kevin, Soup, Jennifer, and Shayna were chosen.

“Well, here’s the twist: I don’t care about your choices! It’s so much more fun for me to choose who’s going to participate! I choose…Adam, Hayley, Hannah, and Boris!”

All the teams were angered by Crag’s decision. However, they had no decision in the matter. Crag started the trivia.

“So, the first question is for you, Adam. How many dead babies does it take to paint a wall red?”

“Oh, I know this one! It depends on how hard you throw them!” yells Adam.

“Correct!” yells Crag.

“How is this trivia?” asks Seth. “All you are doing is telling inhumane jokes.”

“Correctomundo!” yells Crag. “Next question, Hannah, what is one + one?” he snickered.

“Um….um….Well, what she said! That’s my answer, too!” Hannah said, as she made it up on the spot.

“Correct, the answer is two!”

“How is that fair?” yells Snitchy. “She said too, not two!”

“Same difference,” Crag paradoxes. “Next question is for Boris. How many wedgies can you give in one day?”

“How many can I?” asks Boris. “The answer is 32.”

“Ding, ding!” yells Crag. “Last question is for Hayley. What is a pejerrey’s mass on Jupiter if it is cooked medium rare and has a slight hint of ginger?”

“Um…42 pounds?” she guesses.

“Wrong! The answer is 65.345345553427509342853490543 repeating. The losers are Team Make Up!”

“Um, aren’t the questions a little….I dunno…RIGGED?” Bree shouts.

“Don’t question my authority, I’m always right. Anyways, see you later Team Make Up!” yells Crag in the distance.

Hayley and Alexa started to plot Snitchy’s elimination.

“She’s such a bratty overachiever,” says Hayley. “She needs to go first.”

“I like, totally agree,” says Alexa. “She’s the one that has to go for being so annoying.”

Meanwhile, Snitchy and Bree were plotting on their own.

“Listen, I know how people like Hayley are. All she does is annoy people! She needs to go,” says Bree.

“She said I overachieve! Which I do not!” yells Snitchy.

Maria walks in to the conversation.

“Hey, who are you guys voting for? I’m still undecided,” she says.

“I’m voting for Hayley,” says Bree. “And no one is getting in my way!”

“Good to know,” says Maria. “Anyways, I know that Hayley is voting for Snitchy so I don’t know which way to go.”

That night, Crag appeared with 4 cacti. He tallied the votes and smiled.

“Well, one of you will be the second person voted out of this game. The first cactus goes to Bree, who had no votes against her.”

“Yes!” yells Bree, as she catches her cactus.

“The second cactus goes to Alexa, who had no votes against her.”

Alexa smiled as she caught the cactus.

“The next one goes to Maria, which means that Hayley and Snitchy are our bottom two. And the last cactus goes to………….Snitchy,” he says, as he throws the cactus. “Sorry, Hayley, but with three out of the five votes, you are out!”

“What? But I’m the most popular chick here!” she yells. “I will get my revenge!”

Hayley dragged her stuff, and went to the helicopter. She waved everyone good bye as she left the competition.

“Only 18 remain in this non-rigged competition,” Crag smiled. “Who will be voted out and who overcome all the rest?”

Chapter 3: Eat What?
Team Make Up was sitting outside of there tents together, sharing a conversation about there elimination.

“It was a good thing we got rid of Hayley. She had too much negative attitude, and thought she could do anything. We didn’t need her,” Bree said, as her team nodded. Alexa didn’t look as happy as the others, but she didn’t want to get on Bree’s and Snitchy’s bad side.

(CONF) Yeah, Bree and I didn’t have a very good beginning, getting in a fight like right away, but now Bree and I are the top two in this tribe. If we lose, Alexa will go. We know that we can trust Maria somewhat since she voted with us last time.” Snitchy said, as she left the Confessional.

Over at Team Cactus, the team was still asleep in their tents. After having an easy Immunity challenge gave them extra time to get back to camp instead losing someone else on there team.

At Team Sky, Boris, Todd, and Soup were having there alliance.

“Do you think we should start thinking about who to vote off if we lose a challenge?” Boris asked, looking around at Todd and Soup.

“Nah, we don’t need to worry, because were never going to lose a challenge,” Todd said confidently.

“I like this dude’s team spirit! Watch out guys, were going to be going all the way to the end!” Soup said, as all 3 guys high fived.

Meanwhile, Derek and Bob were back at the tents, and it looked like they have started there own alliance.

“We need to get rid of one of them. They could be a big threat. But we keep winning these challenges, and we can’t throw one, or they would just get rid of us,” Derek said, thinking about what his and Bob’s next move should be.

“I say we just play it cool, wait until we actually do lose a challenge, because trust me, we won’t actually win all of them, and then we can worry about it,” Bob said, and Derek nodded in agreement.

And then there was Team Sand, who, as usual, only had one team mate talking, Jennifer.

“Why don’t you guys talk that much? Talking is really fun! You should try it sometime! Here, I’ll show you how to do it!” Jennifer ran up to Shayna and started messing with Shayna’s jaw, trying to make it look like Shayna was talking.

Girl Ran up to Cassandra and started messing with her jaw, just like Jennifer was doing to Shayna.

“You guys don’t talk much. Here, I can show you how to talk,” Girl said, copying what Jennifer said and was doing.

Just then, Hannah came walking out of the tent, and saw what was going on.

“Umm I’m confused. What are you guys doing? Are you trying to feed Cassandra and Shayna? I don’t think you have to do that, I don’t think they’re babies anymore,” Hannah commented, and Girl and Jennifer stopped and stared at her.

Crag then walked up to all the teams, gathered them together, and took them to their challenge.

Upon arrival, the teams each went to there colored team flags, and waited Crag’s instructions on what todays immunity challenge was. The teams quickly looked over at Team Make up though, so that they could see who they had voted. No one was really shocked to see Hayley gone, and faced Crag once again.

“As you can see, Team Make up got rid of Hayley. Yay for them! Not really, I could care less. Let’s get to today’s Immunity challenge. Today, as you can tell by the four tables next to me that today is an eating challenge. So, each team will send up one member of the tribe at a time to eat one plate of delicious or disgusting food. First person to swallow of there food, and show me their tongue, wins a point for their team. First team to get 3 points wins! The team with the least amount of points when a team wins first place, will meet me at the fire pit, and will send someone home. Got it?” Crag asked the contestants, while looking like he could care less.

The contestants nodded, and sent up there first team mates: Adam, Boris, Bree, and Cassandra.

Each contestant stepped up to the table with there flag on it, and awaited Crag’s next instructions.

“Ok, well it looks like we have our first 4 unlucky contestants. Your first meal is……………Ehhhh I’m talking to you guys right now. Go ahead and uncover the first plate in front you.”

The 4 contestants uncovered the first plate, and found a scorpion sitting on there plate. Bree and Cassandra both screamed, while Adam began poking it, and Boris seemed to have no reaction.

“Ok, A little change to the rules. Any person who eats the meal scores a point for there team. Easy enough now, right? But you must still eat the whole thing and show me your tongue when you are done. Ready? Set, GO!”

Cassandra stood still, staring down at the scorpion, looking like she was terrified of it.

“Come on Cassandra! You can do it! It’s not alive, so you don’t have to worry about it!” Jennifer reassured Cassandra from there team mat, but it didn’t seem to have helped Cassandra at all.

Boris had immediately picked up the scorpion, and ate it in 3 bites. He showed his tongue, and so far, Team Sky was in the lead with 1 point.

Adam, seeing how fast Boris ate it, thought it must not be that bad, so he ate it. He showed his tongue to Crag, and scored a point for Team Cactus to tie it up.

Bree and Cassandra had not even touched the scorpion yet, and were both just staring at it.

“Come on Bree! If we lose, you’ll go home because you didn’t eat it!” Alexa said, as her teammates began to glare at her.

“That makes me even madder at her,” Bree mumbled to herself, but not wanting to let her team down, ate the Scorpion, and showed her tongue to Crag.

“Well, it looks like the only team to not get a point that round is Team Sand. Sorry Ladies. Please send up your next group of vict-, I mean teammates.”

Snitchy, Jennifer, Soup, and Santa stepped forward.

“Well that’s not fair, that guy will eat anything!” Snitchy complained, pointing to Santa.

Santa rolled his eyes and said, “Well at least I’m not a complaining over-achiever who no one likes.”

Snitchy had no response.

The contestants uncovered there next meal, and saw a huge Chocolate milkshake staring them in the face.

“Yeah, I’m being nice to you guys. The only thing is this round is timed. Anyone who finishes there milkshake before 30 seconds is up; gets a point for there team. Anyone who doesn’t, well, you don’t get anything except shame for your team. Ready? 30 seconds begins……NOW!”

Each contestant began to drink there milkshake.

With no shock to anyone, Santa was the first one done, within 10 seconds.

“Shocker,” Crag said.

Snitchy finished 5 seconds after Santa, clutching her head because of the massive brain freeze.

Crag snickered, and Snitchy glared at him.

Jennifer finished right behind her, and Soup finished 1 second before time was about to expired.

“Well, it looks like everyone gets a point that round. Which means Team Sand is still in last point with 1 point, while everyone else has 2. Next!”

Alexa, Kevin, Bob, and Shayna stepped up to their tables.

“Ok, I’m officially getting bored of this, so this will be the last round. Whoever finishes their food and shows me their tongue first gets 2 points instead. Please uncover your plates.” Crag instructed the four contestants.

The four uncovered their plates, and saw a tiny snake on there plate.

“Oh my god, get that thing away from me!” Alexa screamed.

“Uhh I don’t think I can eat that.” Shayna confessed, letting her head hang low, looking ashamed.

“Well, it looks like we don’t even have to do this round. Team Sand, I will you all of you at the fire pit for an elimination! The rest of you can go back to your tents, and I’ll see you tomorrow.”

Team Sky, Cactus, and Make Up went back to the tents, while Team Sand followed Crag to the fire pit.

(CONF) “Even though Cassandra and Shayna didn’t eat there food, I have to vote Jennifer. She scares me……..and I don’t like people who scare me,” Hannah said.

“Well, these are very interesting votes. I would have never expected that 3 votes would send this person home,” Crag said, while shrugging. “Eh, I don’t know you people so why should I care? The cacti go to: Hannah, Girl, and Cassandra.” Crag said aloud, as the 3 girls caught there cacti.

“Well, this is a completely diverse pairing right here. We have Jennifer, the crazy one, and we have Shayna, the shy and quiet one. So which one of you did the tribe keep around? Eh, I would’ve voted the same way. Shayna, here is your cactus.”

Crag threw a cactus to Shayna, and she went over and hugged Jennifer.

“Well guys, it’s been fun! But trust me, you’ll see me again.” Jennifer said, taking her belongings with her as she made her way to the helicopter.

“Another one bites the dust! Yeah, I said it. Come back next time to see a real mix up on Overcome!”

Episode 4: A New Slope
Team Sand came back from elimination looking very tired. They all glared at each other. Shayna was crying because she almost got eliminated. Girl looked at the crying Shayna and also decided to cry to follow her lead. Finally, Cassandra was the first one to talk.

“H….h…hi,” started Cassandra.

“Um, have any of you seen my mask-Kara?” asks Hannah, entering the room.

Shayna and Girl shake their heads while Cassandra gets annoyed.

“You know what, I’m leaving,” said Cassandra, as the situation just got more awkward.

“You know how to rake too?” asks Hannah, obviously confused.

Cassandra starts to leave, but gets pursued by Girl.

“Don’t even think about it,” said Cassandra. “I want my peace and quiet.”

Cassandra exits their area, while Hannah puts on a clueless face. Girl sees this face, and copies it.

(CONF) “I wish my teammates would do something,” Cassandra says. “However, I have to maintain a low profile to avoid being a threat….I have to stay mysterious.

Meanwhile, at the not so awkward Team Sky, Boris and Todd continued spreading rumors about the other contestants.

“Hey, you know that nerd Kevin?” asks Boris. “I think that he has lost his marbles. There is no way that he will ever be cool, just a nerd all of his life.”

“I know, have you heard he thinks the word dork means cool?” laughs Todd. “I called him a dork all day yesterday and now he thinks that he is the coolest kid ever. What do you think Soup?” “Uh…yea, I totally was beating a kid up yesterday…” mutters Soup.

“What’s up with you, huh?” asks Todd, to Soup. “You ain’t talking about chicks, you ain’t beating up nerds…are you…?”

“No, I’m not!” yells Soup. “I just don’t know if I should do this.”

“Don’t worry,” says Boris. “We’ll make sure that you do what all the cool kids do.”

(CONF) “I’m not sure whether I’m completely trusting Boris and Todd,” says Soup. “I mean, I should be a bully, but I’m not sure whether I should be that extreme. But, whatever they say, I guess I have to.”

(CONF) “Dudes, we are so teaching him how to be cool!” yells Boris. “This’ll be awesome!”

Meanwhile, Bob and Derek were off on their own.

“Dude, I’m not sure what the heck’s happening,” says Bob.

“Whatever, if we lose a challenge, I can safely say we can manipulate at least one of their stupid minds to vote for Boris,” chuckles Derek.

“Yea, but I’m not sure that those three are the smartest of people,” says Bob. “I mean, I doubt they even know what a vote is.”

Derek laughs. “Don’t worry dude, you’ll be fine.”

Meanwhile, at Team Make Up, there was gossip flying all over the place.

“Guys, guess what?” shouts Snitchy. “Bree has a crush on someone in camp!”

“I do not! Do you want to get voted off?” asks Bree.

“But, I looked through your diary the ot…” starts Snitchy.

“You did what now?” asks Bree. “Ooh, you are so getting it!” she yelled.

(CONF) “I thought that Bree and I were friends,” says Snitchy. “I mean, we did have a fight earlier but I thought we had things sorted out. I mean, we did vote out Hayley together.”

(CONF) “Snitchy the snitch has gotten on my nerves about every single day now!” shouts Bree. “I can’t just let her go though. I mean, I do need an alliance member which I can actually beat in the final two. Now, it’ll be hard to survive that long with that overachiever.

“Calm down you two,” says Maria. “Now, if Bree likes someone, that is her own business, and not anyone else’s.”

“For the last time, I do not like anyone!” yells Bree. “Is that hard enough to understand?”

“It’s ok, loser,” says Alexa. “He probably doesn’t even like you back.”

“Oh, no you didn’t! Any guy would fall for me!” yells Bree. “You shouldn’t even be talking, Ms. “I’m Totally the Next Boot”!”

(CONF) “Even though Bree is my alliance member, she really scare me at times,” says Maria. “Whatever, it’s her funeral, not mine.”

Meanwhile, at Team Cactus, Adam was trying to cheer up the group.

“So, knock knock,” he starts.

“Really, a knock knock joke?” asks Seth. “Only complete idiots would find those funny.”

“Who’s there?” asks an excited Kevin.

“Interrupting…” starts Adam.

“Moo,” answers Seth, rolling his eyes.

“Way to ruin the fun,” says Adam.

Santa joins the group and has a bunch of presents.

“Happy birthday Kevin!” yells Santa.

“Woah, it’s my birthday?” asks Kevin. “Oh my god, I actually have friends!” he yells, as he hugs Adam and Santa.

(CONF) “As usual, my team is 0% strategy and just go around playing stupid party games that take no skill,” says Seth. “It’s pathetic really…and I…don’t…like those kiddy games,” he says nervously.

“Who wants to open the first present?” asks Santa.

“I do!” yells Kevin, as he opens his gift.

Santa had given Kevin an iPod Touch for his birthday. Kevin hugs Santa and cries.

“This is the best gift ever!” Kevin yells.

Seth rolls his eyes, and prepares for the next challenge.

Crag welcomes the four teams as he announces the challenge.

“Today’s challenge will be…” starts Crag.

“Another disgusto eating challenge?” laughs Boris.

“Anyways, like I was saying…” Crag says again.

“What, you can actually talk or is what your saying is jibberish?” asks Boris.

“Well…”

“Stop being such a loser host, you moron,” says Boris.

“That’s it!!!!!” yells Crag. “The challenge was supposed to be host appreciation, but now I don’t even have to think about which team is getting eliminated! Team Sky is going to elimination tonight!”

Crag cried and ran away to his trailer. Boris and Todd were cracking up while Derek and Bob were glaring at them.

“Why did you just lose us the challenge?” asks Bob.

“It doesn’t matter, you’re going anyways, stupid music dork,” says Boris.

Derek listened to the conversation and tried to help his friend out. He went to Soup, the least secure in the alliance.

“Hey, Soup, Boris here lost us the challenge,” says Derek. “Can you vote him out instead of Bob tonight?”

“I dunno, Boris can get pretty mean if I go against him, but I’ll think about it,” answers Soup.

(CONF) “There’s so much pressure on me,” says Soup. “My vote determines whether Bob or Boris is going home. I hope I make the right choice.”

Crag glares at Team Sky as they enter the elimination ceremony.

“You guys will be voting someone….hopefully Boris here, out of the game,” says Crag.

“Isn’t that biased?” asks Todd.

“Life isn’t fair!” yells Crag. “Now vote him out before I yell even more!”

Some of the votes are revealed.

“I vote for that stupid dork musician, Bob,” voted Boris.

“I vote for Boris,” says Bob. “Hopefully Soup will make the right decision.”

“I vote for Boris,” says Derek. “In fact, I’d be surprised if he doesn’t go tonight.”

“My vote goes to Bob,” says Todd. “He’s the nerdiest of all of us.”

Chris reluctantly gives the cacti.

“The first three cacti go to Todd, Derek, and Soup,” he says, throwing them at them. “And the last cactus goes to………………………Boris. Unfortunately, Bob is out of the game.”

“But, Soup, I thought we were friends!” yells Bob.

“Sorry, I just did what I thought was right,” said Soup.

A helicopter came and picked up Bob. Derek waved Bob good bye as waved at his closest ally.

“Wow, that was a shocker,” announces Crag. “Anyways, only 16 are left, who will Overcome the rest?”

Chapter 5: New Friends, New Enemies, A New Game
Team Sky was just getting back from there recent elimination ceremony, and everyone was happy except for Derek.

(CONF) “This isn’t good. Now I’m on the outs because my only ally and friend on the team is gone,” Derek complained. “I need a miracle."

Meanwhile, Boris, Todd and Soup were having their annual alliance meeting.

“I told you guys to not worry. I’m not leaving the game anytime soon,” Boris said, quite confidently.

“Who said we had any doubt, yo? It’s us three to the end!” Todd added high-fiving Boris.

Soup, once again, was silent, but this time, Todd and Boris didn’t feel the need to ask him why he wasn’t talking because they didn’t care anymore.

Over at Team Cactus, Adam was trying to keep his team’s mojo up and was trying to crack a few jokes again.

“So, knock-knock,” Adam said

Seth rolled his eyes, and Kevin was too intent on reading his book that he had no reaction to Adam’s beginning of the joke.

Santa looked up at Adam, but had no reply to it either, going back into the tent.

“Tough crowd,” Adam complained.

Over at Team Sand, the team was still even quieter without Jennifer.

Hannah came out of the tent, with a puzzled look on her face, and holding a hair curler.

“Um, where do I plug this in? I don’t see any of the face looking things that I usually plug them into out here,” Hannah said, scratching her head in puzzlement.

Cassandra rolled her eyes, but then decided it might be fun to mess with Hannah for a little bit.

“Hey Hannah,” Cassandra called over to her. “Come over here and I’ll show you where you can plug that thing in.”

Hannah walked over to Cassandra, and Girl followed Hannah over, after coming out of the tent.

Cassandra stared at Girl for a second, who was holding a tooth brush, but was pretending it was a curler like Hannah, but Cassandra decided to just go with it, and turned back to Hannah.

“You see that book that Shayna is reading over there?” Cassandra pointed at the book, and when Shayna looked at her, Cassandra winked and Shayna decided to go along with it.

“It has one of those ‘Face Things’ on the front of it. Why don’t you go over there and try to use that?” Cassandra told Hannah, holding back a little giggle.

“Ok!” Hannah squeaked, and walked over to Shayna, as Girl followed her. As Hannah and Girl were walking over, Shayna got up and left the book where she was sitting and walked away. Hannah turned the book over, and tried to plug the curler into the book, as Girl did the same. Hannah apparently thought it worked, and was beginning to try to curl her hair. Shayna and Cassandra sat and watched, laughing the whole time.

Over at Team Make Up, Bree was sitting in the tent, keeping a close on eye on Snitchy, making sure she didn’t try to look in Bree’s journal again.

Alexa and Maria were outside, having a little chat.

“Who do you think Bree has a crush on?” Maria asked.

“I have no idea. I mean all we’ve done is compete against the guys, it’s not like we ever talked to any of them, or at least I haven’t” Alexa said.

Maria shrugged, and there team got ready for the next challenge.

Crag gathered the teams together, and began to talk.

“Today I have a little surprise for you things,” Crag confessed, glaring at some of the contestants.

“Today we will have a tribal swap. Well, it isn’t really a ‘swap,’ more like a tribal combine. Team Cactus and Team Sand will combine. Please take your belongings and stand by the red flag,” Crag directed, pointing to the red flag.

“And obviously now, Team Sky and Team Make Up will combine. Please go stand by the purple flag,” Crag said, pointing to the purple flag.

The four teams became two within 2 minutes, exchanging greetings and side chats with there new teams.

“Ok, ok, there’s plenty of time for you to talk later, but I only get a little amount of time to talk each episode so hush. You will no longer have Team names; you will just go by your team color, which makes it easier to remember. And guess what? Your first challenge is right now!” Crag laughed while the contestants moaned.

“Oh stop complaining, if you win this show you get money so calm down! Now, time for your challenge. Today’s challenge is a little endurance test. Behind me, you can see 16 poles. Your challenge is to hang onto those for as long as you can. There are ladders behind them so you can get up and down the pole without getting injured. Now, let’s get started!” Crag exclaimed.

Each team mate chose a pole and climbed to the top.

“Wow this one high pole,” Snitchy commented.

“And it’s way too hot up here! This ain’t gonna be fun!” Bree complained.

“Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that the poles are so tall so that the sun is beating right down on them so that you get all sweaty and it’s harder for you to hang on. Now, stop complaining, and let’s begin the challenge,” Crag explained.

All 16 contestants grabbed onto there poles, and hung there.

After about 20 minutes, 10 people had already giving up. 5 team mates were left on the new teams.

After about 10 more minutes we were down to our final 5: Bree, Kevin, Boris, Girl, and Adam.

“Come on! We have numbers on them! Hang in there!” Seth cheered on from the sideline.

Adam started to lose his grip on the pole, and decided he had been on there long enough. He stepped onto the ladder and made his way down. Girl followed him, and got off her pole and made her way down her ladder.

Only three remain, and it seemed Seth’s cheer had actually jinxed his new team.

“I’m getting bored, so can two of you just get off now?” Crag asked, looking impatient.

Kevin’s arms started to shake, and he began to step onto his ladder when his foot slipped and he fell down to the ground.

“Oh my god!” Maria screeched.

Boris high fived Bree as they both made there way down there ladder.

Crag walked over to Kevin, and saw how much pain he was in.

“Yeah, so, he’s going to have to go to the hospital,” Crag said, calling in the helicopter.

The helicopter landed right next to Kevin, and 3 medics stepped out with a stretcher. They placed Kevin on it, put him in the helicopter, and flew away. The contestants watched the plane fly away, and wondered what was going to happen next.

“What now, your royal host?” Boris said sarcastically.

“I’ll see the Red team at the fire pit, while the Purple team gets to go back to there camp site.”

The Red team looked confused, thinking that since Kevin left, they wouldn’t have to eliminate anyone. They followed Crag back to the fire pit, and awaited his orders.

“Well, it looks like you guys had a very unfortunate loss today, losing the challenge and a Team mate. Since that happened, you all get cacti,” Crag passed the statues out to everyone.

“Well, that’s our first elimination with no votes, and our first vic-, I mean contestant to get hurt. Shocker. See you next time on Overcome, unless you don’t tune in.”
