It will be a chat room challenge, and should not take more than a half hour.

Welcome Survivors to the final challenge!


Tonight's challenge is called 27 seconds

This challenge will take place in the chat room.

I'll ask you a question, and when I say start, you'll have 30 seconds (Yeah, I said 27 seconds, but that's just a name, really) to name as many items as you can in that category. Each correct item you name is worth a point. After two rounds, the person with the most points wins a guaranteed slot in the final two and the right to choose their opponent. In case of a tie after two rounds, a face off will be held using the remaining categories.

You'll each start your turn by choosing one of these categories (Once it's picked, it's off the board and can not be played again).



Tool Time
Cave Dwellers
Pocket Monsters
Remote Control
Pain in the Butt
Good Marks
You Had to Be There
In Style
Big Money


(The turn order is determined by the standings of the Rock and Roll hALl of Fame challenge. MarlinsGirl, Akrovak, and BigDogz)

THE CHALLENGE WILL NOT BEGIN UNTIL ALL THREE OF YOU ARE HERE!!!

Well Ak Congrats on making the final two, you deserve it. I think you should take me to the final two because we got together at the beginning of the game with Sumo and said we would stick together, and we did.

Ak, Congrats. I've enjoyed playing this game with you. If you take me I would be so honored. I've played this game very well, and it would be great if you pick me.

Ak, you can now make the decision. A very tough one, in my opinion.

This is a very good final three!

Ak has made his decision...but before we go any further, I have a very special announcement.

























In honor of the accomplishments of tonight's Final Three, I will be sending a donation of $81.81 (Do the math :P ) to the Weird Al Star fund on the behalf of the three of you! Congratulations again!!! :whoot:

























Now the hard part: Akrovak had to make the very tough decision to take only one of you to the Final Two. The second member of the Final Two is.......











BigDogz2500


























The only thing now left to do will be Akrovak and BigDogz to face a jury of their peers. Will BigDogz pull it out for his under the radar play? Will Ak be able to capitalize on his final three immunity? Will Ak's final vote effect the result? How will the former Poor Mountaineers effect the vote? The game is no longer in my hands (Or....is it?)

MOD EDIT: In order to keep the game suspenseful, please don't reveal who you plan to vote for in advance.

Kay, we can't lobby for our favorites. In fact, we shouldn't even be revealing what we think until the final Tribal Council.

Well thanks Kayy.
I would like to say thank you to Ak for choosing me, I know it couldn't have been and easy decision. And to Marlinsgirl I want to say great game, you played well and probably deserve this more than I do.
