Round Eight: Can't Argue with That RESULTS!

[Amanda Kimmel]

Okay, first of all, you know me - I want to make people happy, as many as possible.

Bobmaka continues to say it's unfair even with the blatant disadvantages Driegodinne has. To be honest - they have a point, and I messed up. Even if the two tribes have advantages and disadvantages, the crux of the game states that even numbers need to take place in challenges.

I was so concerned with keeping as many people happy as possible - by giving everyone something to do - that I forgot that.

So, this is just a reward challenge now. There will be a LIVE IMMUNITY CHALLENGE tomorrow at 10 pm Eastern. Whoever wins this reward will get to have a FIFTH person playing in it - if this so happens to be Bobmaka, they will be allowed to hire somebody to help, and that's ultimately their call on who. It can even be a PW or someone in Pre-jury if they want! It just can't be myself or Erik, and PWs are allowed to refuse if desired.

So, results...


#1 HEDGEHOGS

DD gets 5 days!
Austin takes 25 by penalty!

Bobmaka: 15 days average


Brenda gets it in 6
Parvati does it in 5!

Driegodinne: 5.5 days average!


BOBMAKA: 0 / DRIEGODINNE: 1

[/b]





#2 LOVELY GREEN ROOSTER

Colleen gets 218
Candey... hasn't done it

So 109 for Bobmaka


Anthony scores 595
Misty's is 176

...yeah, way beyond enough.

BOBMAKA: 0 / DRIEGODINNE: 2[/b]



#3 CHARITY

DD got 2000 and gave up
Colleen got 2600 + 4000 so 6600
Nobody else did anything!

8600 total


Tracy got 40,000
Anthony had 44,000
Yau-Jess got 34,000 + 12,000 = 46,000


...welp.



DRIEGODINNE WINS THE CHALLENGE![/center]

Task #4 - Crutely, Chelsea got 16:22 while Austin got 15:53 [Michelle and Colleen did not do it, so Chelsea lasted 29 seconds longer and wins the point]

Task #5 - Rainbows and Unicorns
DD scored 87,818 [this in no way surprises me]
Anthony got 46,664
Jess got 36,560

DD's score > Anthony + Jess's

so DD on her own scored Bobmaka's only point.




Remember: LIVE IC starting tomorrow at 10 Eastern, may take some time to complete. Driegodinne, you'll need to sit three people out. It will be FIVE against FOUR. Everyone should keep in mind what challenge this is

See you then!

[Brenda Lowe]

Welp. This is underwhelming.

[Amanda Kimmel]

Okay, now more stuff has come to light.

My changing of this is EXTREMELY unfair to Driegodinne and the effort they put in. I wasn't informed of their anger promptly yesterday, I made a decision, and now I'm changing my mind again.

That isn't fair.


This also was a blowout. If Driegodinne only had four people - Yau-Jess, Anthony, Tracy, Parvati, and/or Brenda - they'd still probably have won this challenge.

There's ALSO the fact that this was to speed the game up, NOT slow it down.


This also seems to be a conditional complaint, in that Bobmaka would not complain if they had won. They just want to get their way, and they're not going to.


Live challenge will be Wednesday. I'll be posting Bobmaka's TC in a bit.

[candey]

Well I thought I could get an extension seeing how I've seen countless extensions asked for and given during this entire series.

It's good to know that MY own personal life and family drama are worth only an hour of your time Andy.
Sorry that my request was such a big inconvenience, so let me do you a favor and prevent myself and my life from being a problem any further for you or anybody else.


I'm sure some of you will be happy and overjoyed when you come across this, so good for you, and have a happy game, but for me, I'm done with it.

[Sandra Diaz-Twine]

Am I the only one that finds the irony in the supposed "Trendsetter" being not the first, not even the SECOND, but the THIRD person to quit this season?

[Pimpthony Robinson]

Candey told me your comment was funny Sandra, she said she'd tell it to her aunt when she visits her in the hospital today.

[Amanda Kimmel]

Candey, the fact that I gave you an hour when I outright said no extensions in the challenge (because this was created to speed the game up) should be indicative of something.

I said no extensions. I meant that. I almost stood by it but I thought I would be nice. It would have been inconvenient to everyone and I'm sure almost all of them would have minded it taking an extra day. No matter what, people would have been unhappy, and I had to stand by what I originally said in the challenge.

I'm sorry to hear about your family issues, but I did not know about them upon your request and therefore could not factor that into my decision. I hope everything works out for the better and that this event doesn't affect our friendship in any way. I'm going to miss you!

If we're trying to speed up the game, shouldn't the live challenge be tomorrow?

Redemption business. But now that Candey has quit, there's more time for that.

What do you guys say? Would Tuesday 10 pm be better for a live challenge? Because I'm seriously thinking I should make it then now

[Pimpthony Robinson]

I sleep both nights xD but yah sooner = better.

[DD]

Sooner = better

[Tracy]

Can we merge now?

[Amanda Kimmel]

Colleen quit too because "I DIDN'T GET MY WAYY WAAAAAAAAH" - so Colleen's banned and I suggest none of you speak to her about this matter. I gave her a second chance, and she blew it.

As a host, I STRIVE to be FAIR. Apparently that isn't enough for some people, because they want their way, and it's my fault that they didn't get it. I made a decision to make the challenge more fair, I didn't grant an extension because ONLY ONE person wanted it (which would have been showing bias), and then, when my decision to make it a reward was disputed successfully, they complain because "WAAAAAH! YOU WANT SOMEONE FROM AS2 TO WIN!" Guess what? I'm being as unbiased as possible here, and I've gotten myself into a situation where no matter what, somebody is going to be angry with me - I did what I thought was best, and spared the agony of AS1 also losing a live challenge, considering the state of the tribe. Of course, these two bitches took the immature route and whined like little babies, and that's the perfect way to ensure they get this treatment. AS2 disputed my ruling about reversing it to a reward - and had a damn good point, just like AS1 did with the three people doing everything being too unfair (which it was, and I apologize). I am trying my best to ensure that I am FAIR as possible, and just because I didn't do what they wanted, apparently I'm not fair so they should ragequit.

As far as I'm concerned, good riddance. They won't be missed.
