This chapter is one of the bad chapters of the fanfic, but I hope you still have fun reading it. And the format I'm going to do it is 1st week: Warm-Up Week, then 2nd week: Rest Week, and finally, the 3rd week: Elimination Week, where we take the person with the lowest score for the Warm-Up week and the Elimination week combined and kick them out. And then it's going to start over like that again and again until we get the last man standing.
The first (maybe) and the second (definitely) elimination will be huge shockers, I will give you that.
And why does every reading the book thing here have the guy/girl that makes the characters read the book high tech and insane? And smart? And etc.?
I just decided to update the very next day, because, I'm probably not going to update at all until the next Monday, as I'm gonna be focusing on my other story, and I'm going to be in Switzerland and Austria until then. I know I'm fluent in German, but the dialects are so different here! Hopefully, things will clear up when I go to Germany next Tuesday.
Pretest
As Dan starts…
Natalie Kabra: (Trips Dan as he runs)
Dan Cahill: Not fair, Cobra!
Dan Cahill: (throws mud on Natalie's designer dress)
Natalie Kabra: That was 10,000 sterling pounds!
Dan Cahill: (Ignoring Natalie)
Host: Dan Cahill is going at super speed, folks!
Dan is indeed doing pretty well. He never tripped on the tire course, jumped clear of the mud pits, and aced the rope course. But rock climbing is one thing that he isn't good at….
Dan Cahill: Rock climbing! Give me the gear, and hurry!
Crew: (Straps Dan in)
Dan Cahill: (Takes about three steps) Whoa!
Host: It seems like Dan is having a little trouble with the Rock Climbing! He only spent 3 minutes on the first 4 courses, but he has already spent 2 minutes alone on this one!
Hamilton Holt: Yawn….
Dan Cahill: (After 3 more minutes) I finally did it! I finished, right?
Host: Not really, Dan. This show, I forgot to mention, was arranged by your family. So this part, will test your talents and knowledge.
Referee: Take the ladder down on the front of you, and follow me. Stop the time for now!
Timer: Stops at 8:07
Dan Cahill: Is this supposed to be the remake of the gauntlet? Please.
Host: Something very similar.
Host: This will be harder.
Dan Cahill: I'm up for the challenge: I'm ready.
Referee: Start the time again.
Automated Voice (Who we shall call Tim): First Question: Name the Five Cahill Branches.
Dan Cahill: Easy! Ekaterina, Tomas, Madrigal, Janus, and Lucian.
Tim: Correct!
And it went on like that…. You get my point.
Dan Cahill ended up finishing in 15 minutes and 5 seconds.
Ian Kabra: Step aside, it's my turn.
To make a long story short, Ian excelled. Except for the Rope Course, he failed. Bad.
He ended up with 12 minutes and 14 seconds.
Ian Kabra: I'm covered in mud…. Of victory!
Dan Cahill: Ahh!
Sinead Starling: My turn. I always have a surprise up my sleeves…
Dan Cahill: I get it already, hurry up!
Sinead Starling: Fine.
Sinead was the best one so far. She never crashed, except in one question, which asked to name 3 madrigal members. Fortunately, she remembered Amy Cahill, Grace Cahill, and Dan Cahill. She finished in 8 minutes and 4 seconds.
Ian Kabra: Kabras never lose!
Dan Cahill: I might end up at last…
Host: Don't worry, Dan, Natalie and Amy will get the last spot. Remember, they didn't participate.
Natalie Kabra: That's not fair!
Amy Cahill: Seriously?
Dan Cahill: YES! IN YOUR FACE, COBRA! …
Dan Cahill: Sorry, Amy…..
Jonah Wizard: Get me rolling, Host.
Jonah Wizard, unfortunately, was not athletic. He failed at the rope course, the rock climbing, tripped on the tires, and didn't manage to get clear of the mud pits. But he aced the quiz with flying colors. His minutes? 19 minutes and 0 seconds.
Audience: BOOOO!
Newcaster: Breaking News! Jonah Wizard's sales dropped 20%, as fans now call him a "sissy."
Jonah Wizard: Show me some love!
Hamilton Holt: Step aside, loser. Let's go!
Hamilton obviously got past the athletic part with ease, but he stumbled on the quiz. His minutes: 11 minutes and 27 seconds.
Host: For the rankings, Sinead Starling surprisingly-
Sinead: Hmph!
Host: got in first place. Hamilton Holt excelled, and got in at 2nd place. Ian Kabra did pretty well and got in at 3rd. Dan Cahill was better than average and got in at 4th. Jonah Wizard flunked and got in at 5th.
Host: Amy Cahill will be at 6th place and Natalie Kabra will be at 7th place!
Natalie Kabra: What? Why?
Host: Alphabetical order, Natalie…. So sorry….
Natalie Kabra: I will sue this show. I will sue you! It will be the end of you! (Keeps going with words that shouldn't be uttered by an 11 year old)
Host: (Ignoring Natalie's tirade) And that's all!
Host: As prize of being first, Sinead Starling will get to sleep in a 5 star hotel worth nearly $2000 dollars. She will also get resources she can use along the way.
Host: I might add that the resources that go to Sinead will not be offered to anybody else from now on.
Jonah Wizard: What? I demand exclusive material!
Host: In addition to that, she will also be allowed to boss around the other competitors for the next week. This will not be given to competitors from now on.
Host: On a side note, the resources will be,
-Help from a friend.
-Money she can have to buy things on the grounds so she won't have to eat disgusting food.
-New set of clothes.
-A buffet when she wants it.
-A free pass from one competition next week
-Access to technology for a day.
Host: That's it.
Sinead Starling: I get all that… Thank you!
Natalie Kabra: Could I please have that clothes thing? I would give you and your brothers 1 million dollars…
Sinead Starling: No.
Random Narrator: So, while Sinead got to sleep in a 5 star hotel (kind of like the Plaza Hotel in Home Alone 2), the rest of the crew got to sleep in a cabin. A cabin crawling with ants and infested by roaches and flies. Natalie and Ian stayed up all night complaining. Jonah Wizard was also very bothered. Hamilton Holt didn't get bothered at all; he said some campsites are worse. Dan and Amy just toughed it out, by sleeping on top of their sleeping bag and curling up into a ball. In anyways, it was a very rough night.
Random Narrator: 'Till Next Week….
Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
