I figured we can start discussing the challenge as it plays out. I am not super impressed with what we've seen so far. Most of the castaways are simply recapping the events of the game, and although the task was to write a story about the game, I have watched the game from the beginning so I don't need to read 8 recaps. Which is why I like Rob's story a lot. It's funny, gives me insight into his gameplan, and is different. I can tell Morgan put a lot of effort into hers, but I got bored with it. Alina is doing kind of the same thing, but at least she is going to discuss some of the people that played the game. And what was up with Elisabeth's poem? Last time I checked, this was a STORY writing challenge...

I vote for Candice to win. Trust me, you all will too when you see what she's doing. So far... Elisabeth - dull and full of errors. The poem seems to be derived from this song: www.yoursonglyrics.com/waving-flag-knaan/This is a STORY writing challenge. I say that epic poems are okay in the instructions, but that poem isn't really a story. Epic poems are a form of storytelling... Morgan - Boring. She's just recapping everything. Rob - Wall of text. Hard to read in spots, but funny. Yeah, Candice is going to smoke all of these chumps. xxErinMorriccixx (8:18:08 PM): I'll try and keep it pithy xxErinMorriccixx (8:20:27 PM): Todd: "Amanda, we have a situation,"Amanda stands and rises from her chair, whipping her long flowing hair back behind her, adjusting her hat against the brim of her head, "What situation?"Todd: "It's Danni.....she's gone missing," xxErinMorriccixx (8:20:54 PM): this is gonna be fun :-D xxErinMorriccixx (8:21:00 PM): ima write this listening to kpop xxErinMorriccixx (8:21:29 PM): all fear the power of KPOP WRITING! xxErinMorriccixx (8:30:04 PM): "It appears Dave has taken his own life." xxErinMorriccixx (8:30:09 PM): "Amanda, you're not saying..." xxErinMorriccixx (8:30:15 PM): "I am......he self voted" zZAndymaNZz (8:30:21 PM): LOOL zZAndymaNZz (8:30:34 PM): Erin, can I hug you? xxErinMorriccixx (8:30:37 PM): yes xxErinMorriccixx (8:30:38 PM): *hugs* zZAndymaNZz (8:30:40 PM): *hugs* That stuff alone... yeah she's going to have no problem winning this. |

Alina's is good, but not great. She compliments me, but seems to be hating on Colleen a bit too much. Colleen did more work in challenges than Alina, after all.
lol Morgan thinks she can win. All she did was a boring recap.

That's the thing with Candice's I like that it seems more original, I mean the others pretty much are just recapping events. I feel she's going to have this IC in the bag unless someone manages to top how she's doing.
Cesternino's is a huge chunk of text, and it does have occasional humor in certain areas (Such as him trying to take Amber and me punching him in the face for it lol.) but it'd be a lot better if he'd separate it into paragraphs.
On the other hand Alina and Morgan are basically recapping, but of the two I think Alina is doing the better job.
Rupert's so far seems to be a recap of the events leading up to the 2 previous blindsides, but I think he might change his story up according to his "this is bad now that I think about it" post in his confessionals.

Right now, Frosti wins and one of Alina/Rob. Hopefully the others post their submissions in the next three hours!

Frosti's is pretty funny as well, right now it's gonna be close between him and Candice winning immunity, he was telling me last night his story was gonna be high school-ish and it definitely reminds me of high school in that sense.  |

Well, if Candice posts her story I'm sure it will be her and Frosti, but if she doesn't post then we'll have some work to do.

Morgan made a new one. It's a rapping poem recap.
That obviously is a LOT better than the boring thing she had before.
but yeah Frosti wins in a landslide

Alina - Just seems to be too much about Sydney, no humor in it.
Candice - I love this one, she did a really amazing job with it.
Colleen - Wasn't finished.
Elisabeth - Too much of a recap, and there's a bit of typos here and there.
Frosti - Probably one of my other favorites as well. It's super humorous.
Morgan - A lot better than what she originally had, but too much of a recap.
Rob - Was a chunk of text, but does have it's humor in spots here and there.
Rupert - Not finished.
My votes are for Candice and Frosti for this one.
