Come on in guys!

Rita already secured Immunity, but another is up for grabs.




Time for your second challenge of the night. It's called...






























































Remember the puppets you made earlier? Tonight we're gonna burn them!

Here's how it works:

Your puppets are dangling above a fire pit, held up by five ropes. The goal of this challenge is to cut the ropes of your fellow players and be the last puppet remaining.

Every FIVE minutes, on the fifth minute mark, your rope will automatically be cut if you do not post. If you're here, you can DEFLECT your cut onto someone else. To do this, you must post the following:

"[Name] deflects onto [Name]"

If you fail to post this on the fifth minute mark, your rope will be cut instead. If you do it successfully, whoever you deflect to will lose a rope. So if Brett isn't here to deflect, he will lose a rope. On top of that, if two others deflect onto Brett on that minute, he'll lose an additional two more.

You cannot deflect a cut that someone deflected at you. You can only deflect the auto-cut that happens against you every 5 minutes.

Once you lose all five, you're out and can no longer cut. In the event of ties, it'll go to the person who posted quicker on that minute.

Cuts can only be made on five minute marks, :00, :05, :10, etc. Anything outside of those marks will not count. You CANNOT edit! If you make a mistake, post again. If you deflect your cut onto someone who just recently lost all five ropes, post again to deflect onto someone else or you'll lose a rope. We'll be updating rope totals as it goes, but be sure to pay attention and try to keep track.


Two more things to cover. First, Rita will still be participating tonight. If Rita wins Immunity here, she will hand the necklace out to any player of her choosing. She must decide up to 10 minutes after the challenge ends.

Second, Nick's auction advantage. Nick won two extra ropes tonight. He will have two ropes to everyone else's five, enough to give him an edge as we begin.

Not only that, but Woo won Item #1, a mystery prize. That prize is one extra rope in the challenge, meaning Woo will start with six. Not as much as Nick's advantage, but one rope could make all the difference as we near the end of this challenge.

This will begin at 9:10. Your covered Auction items will be updated in your confessionals AFTER the challenge ends. Post any questions below if you have them.

Survivor's ready?
