The next morning after Elias & Kelly woke up & got ready they headed straight to the studio to begin filming day 2 of the Extreme Challenge: The Ultimate Showdown mini season. They were both excited to get started & eagerly anticipated what the day would have in store for them.

"We're off to a great start with this mini season. I bet today will be even more exciting than yesterday" said Elias as he smiled enthusiastically.

"I don't doubt it. Getting to see all our friends having fun while playing the game is awesome. I can't wait to see what happens today" said Kelly as she also smiled enthusiastically.

"Soon everyone will be out of bed & ready to begin day 2. It's going to be another day filled with excitement & fun. Let's get ready to film" said Elias.

"Indeed. Soon we'll get to see what everyone's been up to since last night" said Kelly.

After Elias & Kelly finished preparations they got into position & waited for filming to commence. Once the camera began rolling they both smiled & looked straight into the camera.

"Hello everyone & welcome to another episode of Extreme Challenge: The Ultimate Showdown. I'm Elias Vincent & this is Kelly Walter. Last time the 6 contestants entered the loft to begin the 5-day journey towards $50,000. After moving in & hanging out they competed in their 1ST challenge. Ryder won earning himself immunity from elimination. As the elimination ceremony loomed Katie felt nervous about the possibility of her being voted off & confessed how she felt to Ryder. Ryder reassured her that she was safe & proceeded to convince the others to vote off Mayabella while telling Mayabella that it was Danny they were voting off. At the elimination ceremony it was Mayabella who ended up becoming the 1ST person voted off" said Elias.

"5 contestants remain. Who'll be next to go? Find out right now on Extreme Challenge: The Ultimate Showdown" said Kelly as the intro sequence played. After it was done the camera focused on Elias & Kelly again.

"Welcome back. The 5 remaining contestants are just about to start the 2ND day of the game. Hopefully they're all ready for what we have planned for them today" said Elias as he smiled while looking at the camera.

"Let's see what they're up to right now" said Kelly as the focus shifted to the loft. Ace, Carlos, Danny, Katie & Ryder had only just woken up & were in the kitchen eating breakfast. As they ate they discussed the game & what they expected to see happen.

"What challenge do you think we'll have today?" asked Ace with curiosity in her voice.

"I don't know. It could be literally anything" said Carlos as he continued to eat his breakfast.

"I hope it's a physical challenge. They're the best & most exciting challenges of all" said Danny as he smiled eagerly.

"It could be mental like a quiz or memory game. I suppose we'll just have to wait & see" said Katie as she shrugged in uncertainty.

"Whatever it is may the best person win. Good luck everyone" said Ryder as he finished his breakfast & put his dirty dishware in the dishwasher before going to get dressed. It didn't take long for the others to finish their food & get dressed. Once that was done they all went to the backyard to hang out. Danny decided he was going to attempt a new stunt.

"Ladies & gentlemen the great Daring Danny X is about to perform the best stunt you've ever seen. Today I'll swing myself around the top bar of the swingset before performing flips in the air & landing on my feet. Prepare to have your minds blown" said Danny as he went over to the swingset & grabbed the top bar. Everyone was concerned for Danny's wellbeing. They knew that it was a likely possibility that Danny would hurt himself. Before anyone could react, Danny began swinging himself back & forth trying to gain momentum. As everyone watched in uncertainty Danny gained enough momentum to get himself swinging 360 degrees. After a few revolutions he let go of the bar & launched himself into the air & performed a series of flips. Unfortunately, the landing failed as Danny landed face down on the ground. The force of the impact winded him leaving him gasping for air. Everyone gasped in horror as they ran over to Danny & helped him up.

"Are you OK Danny?" asked Ryder in a concerned voice.

"Yes. It's going to take a lot more than that to stop me" said Danny as he smiled confidently.

"Don't try that again. The last thing we need is for you to seriously injure or kill yourself doing stuff like this" said Katie with a look of worry on her face.

"I think I'll lie down for a bit. That'll help get the air back in my lungs" said Danny as he walked inside the loft & went to lie down. The others shook their heads in disbelief. Seeing Danny doing such reckless things was always quite scary.

"1 of these days he'll get into a really bad accident. It'll be his own fault if something goes horribly wrong" said Ace as she sighed in frustration.

"Agreed. How about we vote him off tonight should he lose the challenge?" asked Carlos in a curious voice.

"I'm fine with that. Let's do it" said Katie.

"Looks like tonight's vote should be relatively straightforward. Let's hope he doesn't win. That'd throw us all for a loop" said Ryder as he & the others continued to play. They spent the next few hours in the backyard playing together before going inside to rest to regain energy for the challenge. The camera then focused on Elias & Kelly.

"Looks like things have gotten off to a rocky start in the loft. Hopefully it doesn't escalate to a serious situation" said Elias as he looked straight into the camera.

"Anyways let's get the contestants to the lounge. Their next challenge is about to begin" said Kelly as the focus once again shifted to the loft. Everyone was going about doing their own thing when Elias & Kelly addressed them via the speakers.

"Hello contestants. Please report to the living room" said Elias.

"Your next challenge is about to begin" said Kelly as everyone went to the lounge & sat on the sofa. Elias & Kelly appeared on the TV screen.

"Good to see you all up & ready to go. As you know whoever wins the challenge earns immunity from elimination tonight. Everyone else has a 25% chance of being eliminated" said Elias as he smiled enthusiastically.

"Please report to the challenge area so that today's challenge can begin" said Kelly.

Ace, Carlos, Danny, Katie & Ryder proceeded to enter the challenge area. They saw a row of 5 booths set up.

"Today's challenge is called Tricky Trivia. You'll be asked 10 general knowledge questions & for each 1 you'll have to answer with either A, B or C. If you get the question correct you earn a point. If you get it incorrect no points will be awarded. Whoever has the most points at the end of the challenge wins immunity & is safe from elimination" said Elias.

"Please enter your booths. Once you're all in position the challenge will begin" said Kelly.

Everyone walked over to the booths & entered them. Once they were all in place the challenge began.

"Question 1: What is the name of the superhero pup that saves the day his own way: A, Apollo, B, Aries or C, Avon?" asked Elias.

Everyone found the letter A card & held it up. They were all correct.

"A is the correct answer. You all score a point. Question 2: Which PAW Patrol pup is the only 1 to not be owned by a child: A, Angel, B, Everest or C, Tracker?" asked Kelly.

Everyone found the B card & held it up. Once again, they were all correct.

"All of you got it right. You each have another point. Question 3: What is the 1ST name of Mayor Goodway's uncle: A, Oliver, B, Oscar or C, Otis?" asked Elias.

Danny held up the A card while everyone else held up the C card.

"C is the correct answer. All of you except Danny earn a point. Question 4: Which family member of Katie's requires a train ride to visit: A, brother, B, grandmother or C, uncle?" asked Kelly.

Danny held up the C card while everyone else held up the B card.

"B is correct. Everyone except Danny earns a point. Question 5: Which PAW Patrol pup resembles a pirate pup who lived in Adventure Bay long ago: A, Rubble, B, Rocky or C, Zuma?" asked Elias.

Ace & Danny held up the B card while the other 3 held up the A card.

"The correct answer is A. Everyone except Ace & Danny earn a point. Question 6: What are the names of the residents of Puplantis: A, Pupfish, B, Merpups or C, Octopups?" asked Kelly.

Ace & Danny held up the A card while the others held up the B card.

"Merpups is correct. Everyone except Ace & Danny earn a point. Question 7: What is the name of Julius & Justina's father: A, Gordon, B, Grover or C, Gustavo?" asked Elias.

Ace & Carlos held up the B card, Danny held up the A card & Katie & Ryder held up the C card.

"The correct answer is C. Katie & Ryder earn a point. Question 8: What is the name of Captain Turbot's diving bell: A, Seasphere, B, Seabee or C, Seastar?" asked Kelly.

Ace & Carlos held up the C card, Danny held up the A card & Katie & Ryder held up the B card.

"B is the correct answer. Question 9: What is the name of the cruel kitten Mayor Humdinger is a fan of: A, Cassandra, B, Clara or C, Connie?" asked Elias.

Ace & Danny held up the C card, Carlos & Katie held up the B card & Ryder held up the A card.

"A is correct. Ryder earns a point. Question 10: Which 2 pups are not part of the PAW Patrol: A, Arrby & Chase, B, Arrby & Sweetie or C, Chase & Sweetie?" asked Kelly.

Ace & Danny held up the C Card, Carlos & Katie held up the A card & Ryder held up the B card.

"Arrby & Sweetie is correct. Ryder earns a point. That was the last question. Congratulations Ryder with 10 points you win immunity" said Elias.

"The rest of you all face elimination. You have until tonight to think about who'll be going home. You may return to the loft" said Kelly.

Everyone proceeded to congratulate Ryder on winning another challenge. They were impressed by how smart he was. After the excitement died down they all went back to the loft & did their own thing. Even though everyone had agreed to vote off Danny if he lost Katie still felt nervous. Once again, she placed 2ND in the challenge & feared that it'd get her voted off.

"I'm not sure if the others will keep their deal. I hope they do. It'd be disappointing to get voted off because they lied to me. I think I should ask them if we're still voting off Danny. That'll ease my nerves" thought Katie as she went to find Ace, Carlos & Ryder. After they gathered in the bedroom Katie confessed her feelings.

"I just wanted to make sure we're all still voting off Danny tonight. Since he lost we can send him home. Are you all on board?" asked Katie in a nervous voice.

"Yes. I plan on keeping the promise I made. You guys have nothing to worry about" said Ace in a reassuring tone.

"By voting off Danny we'll be guaranteeing our safety for another day. My vote isn't going to change" said Carlos in a confident manner.

"Danny it is. Let's take it easy for the rest of the day. I can safely say we'll all still be here tomorrow" said Ryder.

As the meeting between the others was going on Danny was outside playing. He was completely unaware of the plot to vote him off.

"I think tonight's elimination should be relatively easy. I think Ace needs to go. Out of everyone eligible for elimination she's the strongest in challenges. Hopefully everyone else realises that & sends her home. Getting rid of her will make our chances of winning easier" thought Danny as he hung upside down from the monkey bars. He was attempting to see how long he could stay like that. Throughout the rest of the day things went by peacefully. It was almost as if everyone had completely forgotten about that night's elimination. Soon the focus returned to Elias & Kelly.

"It's time for the 2ND elimination ceremony. Soon another contestant will be eliminated & lose their chance of winning the $50,000 prize" said Elias as he looked straight into the camera.

"Let's get the contestants to the living room so that the vote can commence" said Kelly as the focus returned to the loft. As everyone finished eating their dinner Elias & Kelly addressed them through the speakers.

"Contestants it's time for the 2ND elimination ceremony. Please report to the living room" said Elias.

"Soon 1 of you will be eliminated while the others continue the game" said Kelly as everyone went to the living room & sat on the sofa. Elias & Kelly then appeared on the TV screen.

"Welcome to another elimination. 1 by 1 you'll go into the confessional & cast your votes. After the results are tallied we'll reveal who'll be leaving" said Elias.

"Ryder has immunity, so he can't be eliminated. Ace you're up 1ST" said Kelly.

1 by 1 all the contestants went to cast their votes in alphabetical order. Once they were done the results were tallied & Elias & Kelly were informed of who'd be leaving.

"OK the votes are in. Please stand up everyone" said Elias as everyone stood up not knowing how the others had voted.

"If your name is called you're safe. Whoever is left standing at the end of the ceremony is eliminated. They must then say their goodbyes & immediately leave the loft. Good luck to you all" said Kelly.

"Ryder since you have immunity you're the 1ST person safe. You may sit down" said Elias.

"It feels good to have immunity" said Ryder as he sat down.

"The next person safe is… Carlos. You may sit down" said Kelly.

"Yay I'm safe" said Carlos as he smiled & sat down.

"The 3RD safe contestant is… Katie. You may sit down" said Elias.

"That's a relief. Now I don't feel so nervous" said Katie as she sat down & sighed in relief. Ace & Danny held their breath as they anxiously waited to hear the results.

"I can now reveal that the vote was 4-1. The final contestant safe is… Ace. Danny unfortunately you've been eliminated. Say your goodbyes & leave the loft" said Kelly.

"Yay I'm still in" said Ace as she smiled excitedly. Danny looked shocked. He wasn't expecting to be voted off. Everyone said their goodbyes to Danny before he left the loft & was met by Elias & Kelly.

"Hi Danny. Good to see you" said Elias as he smiled & shook Danny's hand.

"We'd like to have a short discussion about your time in the game" said Kelly as she also smiled & shook Danny's hand.

"OK. Let's do this" said Danny as he, Elias & Kelly sat down.

"How does it feel being the 2ND person eliminated?" asked Elias in a curious voice.

"I'm shocked. I didn't see it coming at all. I really wish I won today's challenge. That would've guaranteed my safety" said Danny.

"What was your favourite moment in the game?" asked Kelly.

"Definitely my stunt earlier today. That was the most exciting thing I did over the last 2 days. Even if it didn't all go to plan I'm happy with how it went" said Danny as he smiled in satisfaction.

"Who do you think would've been eliminated had you won immunity?" asked Elias.

"Probably Ace. She's 1 of the strongest people left. I bet she'll be next to go" said Danny.

"Before you leave who do you think will win the game?" asked Kelly.

"I hope it's Ryder. He's playing a great game so far. I believe he can pull it off" said Danny in a confident voice.

"Thanks for playing Danny. It was a pleasure having you here" said Elias as he gave Danny a warm smile.

"We'll see you back here on finale night. Take care of yourself" said Kelly.

"I will. See you later" said Danny as he shook Elias & Kelly's hands before leaving. Elias & Kelly then turned to the camera.

"That ends another episode. 4 contestants remain in the running for the $50,000" said Elias as he smiled at the camera.

"Tune in tomorrow to see who gets eliminated next. Goodnight everyone" said Kelly as the credits played. Once they finished the cameras stopped rolling.

"That was a great episode. I love getting to do this with you" said Elias as he smiled warmly at Kelly.

"Me too. Let's go home so that we can get some rest" said Kelly as Elias & herself headed home together. In the loft the remaining contestants were settling down for the night. After bathing/showering they got into their pyjamas & hopped in bed. As Ryder lay awake he thought about how well he was doing in the game.

"I'm 2 for 2 in challenges so far. I hope the others don't band together & vote me off. As much as winning the challenges is good for my safety at the same time it's also putting a target on my back & making me look like a threat. I'm not going down without a fight. I'm going to keep playing as hard as I can until either I get voted off or I win. Tomorrow will be quite challenging. I'm ready for anything that comes our way" thought Ryder as he went to sleep.
