Okay, I changed up the format. Does this please all of you? If not, let me know and I will (sigh) try again. However, if I it is still not satisfactory by the next chapter, I will abandon the story altogether. So please let me know if this method is okay, alright? Please enjoy.

The Stamina Withstand-a Event
The elimination of Mung Daal at that moment stunned all the members of Enubara…
"Poor Mung." Tyler said, "He did not deserve that."
"He was just one average Joe and now he's just gone." said Ezekiel
However, Ben had a different point of view, stating, "Well, the way I see it, with Mung gone, we got rid of some dead weight."
LeShawna was right along with Ben, stating, "I say that our team needs to sleep on this and focus on tomorrow."
After a relaxing day and a good night sleep, the 57 contestants awoke for their next challenge…
Greg spoke about the new elimination technique used on Mung Daal, stating "Okay, so all 57 of you have been exposed to two methods of elimination."
Harold was stunned, "Two?"
Greg went on to say, "Yep. There will be more methods down the road, so get ready because your time here could be up like that (snaps fingers). The good news is that today, it's just a regular elimination. The bad news… this challenge will be tough. It's… The Stamina Withstand-a Event."
Gwen T. was lost, stating "The what?"
"That can't sound good!" said Johnny
"Not more workouts!" said Sadie
Greg went on in detail, explaining, "For this challenge, the 57 of you will compete in four methods of exercise that unique in testing one's stamina: Each event will go on until 14 of you are eliminated. In the end, only one will be left and will not only win the event for their team, but also will receive this." (holds up envelope)
"What's that?" said Carl
"In my hand holds a 'Challenge Immunity' pass." said Greg, "Get first place in this event and you will not have to take part in tomorrow's challenge. Also, if your team happens to lose that challenge, you will be safe from the vote. In short, this pass is important in this game. And there will be more of these down the road, so be prepared."
"I wanted that pass," said Beth, "I did not care if I backstabbed my team; I wanted that pass."
"That pass intrigues me." said Heather
Greg went on to say, "Now, if all of your team gives up first, you will have to go to the campfire tonight and one of you will leave here… forever. So, let's begin. The first challenge is the Bar Hang. Everyone will hang off this bar until they can take no more. On your mark… get set… go!!"
The contestants started hanging and after only 28 seconds, 14 had dropped (in no particular order)… LeShawna, Chowder, Courtney, Owen, Eduardo, Sadie, Katie, Kuki, Noah, Dexter, Carl, Suzie, Bubbles, and Tyler.
"Me no comprende how other people do that," exclaimed Eduardo, "Me could not do that."
Courtney had a more selfish reason, stating, "The others can do these challenges. I can't."
Greg was amazed by how long some people could withstand the challenge as he went on to say, "Okay… that was quick. Onto the next assignment… The Push-Up Hold position. You have to hold into the push-up position for as long as you can. Once you hit the floor, that's it. Ready… Go!" (Blows whistle)
This event lasted 2 minutes and 3 seconds before 14 had been declared 'out' (in no particular order)… Hoagie, Panini, Bloo, Mac, Johnny, Edd, Eddy, Mom, Mama, Julie, Cody, Blossom, Harold, and Chris.
"Physical activity and I do not mix." said Edd
"That… was… so tough!!" exclaimed Harold
Johnny had a different reason, stating, "I just happened to slip while checking out all the ladies!"
Greg changed up the atmosphere of the challenges by stating, "Good news, everyone. No more workouts. Now we move onto your mental and emotional areas. The next part of this four-way challenge… The Math Fly-By. The 28 who were eliminated will help with this part. You will be shown math flashcards of simple, first grade addition and subtraction cards. Only for this, the cards will be flashed every three seconds and if you do not answer in time or the answer is wrong, you're out. The answers are on the back for the eliminated ones. Everyone ready… Go!" (blows whistle)
This event only lasted 1 minute 27 seconds before 14 more left the match (in no particular order)… Geoff, Bridgette, Lazlo, Clam, Kevin, Eva, Ed, Rolf, DJ, Buttercup, Ezekiel, Dad, Dee Dee, and Wally
"I tried to keep up, but… AAAHHH" shrieked Geoff, "Too… Much… Math!!"
"I left all my smarts back in high school." said Dad
Enubara had 3 members left, Uso-Uso had 4 members left, Illucavo had 6 members left, and Abrunga had 2 members left…
"Final event," Greg said, "This event will decide the winners, the losers, and the safe one from tomorrow's challenge. The final challenge is… The Non-Stop Stand-a-thon. The 15 of you will have to stand in one spot for as long as you can."
But Greg was not done yet, "Oh and to heighten the suspense, everyone will be secluded (suddenly, white walls appeared out of the pavilion) in between a set of walls. Also, in between those walls is a black circle. If your toenail so much as reaches outside the circle, you will be eliminated. You have to stand within that circle."
Gwen was intrigued, "Interesting ending."
Greg went on to say, "The only way to win is to keep on standing. Each time a person is eliminated, they will be announced. Good luck and… Stay Standing."
For the first half-hour, only four had left: none from Enubara, Gwen and Endive from Uso-Uso, Edward and Chef from Illucavo, and none from Abrunga…
Greg decided to make the challenge tougher for those left, "Okay, I guess you eleven need more of a challenge. So, from now on, a chair will be placed next to your circle. This will be used to taunt you, as if the chair is saying, 'Come on, and sit! You know you want to.' Try not to give in!"
Another half-hour had gone by and three had left the game: Wilt from Enubara (2 left), none from Uso-Uso (2 left), Izzy from Illucavo (3 left), and Heather from Abrunga (1 left)…
Greg decided to knock the competition up a notch, "Now, get ready final eight, because you are going to get creeped out by our… MONSTERS!!!"
In real life, as the eight were still in the challenge, the 49 eliminated put on scary costumes and masks and waited for Greg's signal…
After five minutes, Professor had stepped out…
"Professor has left," announced Greg, "Which means Abrunga will be going to the campfire tonight!"
At that point, Justin, Ben, Trent, and Gwen T. stepped off in joy, unaware that the game was over…
Greg pointed them out, "Gwen T., Justin, Ben, and Trent, you all stepped out. You're out!"
Ben was ashamed, "I completely forgot! Idiot!"
Trent was pissed, "Drat, I was so close!"
All that were left were Beth, Duncan, and Abigail…
Greg had a message for the last three, "You all want that prize, don't you?! Well, let's hope you can stand that long."
Beth just closed her eyes while standing, Abigail was humming, and Duncan was playing with his knife. Unfortunately, about a hour later, Duncan lost control and… WOOMPP!! Fell right on the floor…
Greg announced, "And with that, Duncan is out but Illucavo, as I said, is safe from the vote tonight. The two left are Beth from Uso-Uso and Abigail from Enubara. Two strong girls, fighting for their chance to stay an extra night here at camp. Who will prevail?!"
Abigail was impressed with who her opponent was, "I do not know how that Beth was able to stay as long as she did."
Beth went on to say, "I wanted that pass… badly."
The task went on for three hours. The girls started to get tired and woozy. Suddenly, Abigail was feeling weird from humming so much and she got disoriented.
Abigail yelled out, "Whoa! Whoa! AAAHHH!!!" (Thud)
Greg exclaimed, "And with Abigail out, the winner is Beth!"
Beth got out of the circle and rushed over to Greg…
"Congrats Beth." Greg said, "You went through more than five hours of stamina-induced challenges. Here is your 'Challenge Immunity' pass. You do not have to do tomorrow's event and you are safe from the vote should your team lose."
Greg had a different message for the fourth-place team, "Meanwhile, Abrunga, one of you is about to be gone. Make up your minds and meet me at the campfire… in one hour. Since the challenge took up time, you have only one hour to make a decision. Let this be a lesson to you all. Think about who you might want to get rid off because you never know when a situation like this will arise. See ya!"
The four tribes left and Abrunga talked amongst them…
Kevin had a good strategy, "Okay guys, one of the two fatties has got to go."
"You mean the overeating kitty and the little prairie girl in pink?" said Rolf
"Exactly." said Kevin
Cody had his mind set, "I think Chowder. He's usually the first to quit."
DJ had a different opinion, "But so does Sadie."
Heather agreed, but also had another in mind, "Uck, I wish we could get rid of three tonight."
Professor was confused, "Three?"
Heather exclaimed, "Yeah, Sadie, Chowder, and Bloo."
"Oh, right, Bloo," Cody said, "He is pretty annoying."
Lazlo was feeling rushed, "Oh, man, we got to think fast. Campfire is soon."
Chris said in the confessional, "I'm putting Sadie's name down. We need more brute force and she does not have it."
Bloo had a different, 'sinister' idea, "Oh, Cody will surely be surprised that I voted for him. That little twerp. I got the Professor in on voting out Cody too. He'll never see it coming."
At the campfire, the people had been given the info ad they had already made their choice. Greg just got the jar…
Greg explained, "Okay, once the votes are read, the person with the most will have to leave. I'll read the votes. First vote… CHOWDER… SaDie… Sadie… Bloo… BLOO… Cody… Cody… Chowder… Sadie… Sadie… Bloo… Bloo. So that's 4 votes for Sadie, 4 votes for Bloo, 2 votes for Chowder, and 2 votes for Cody. Bloo… Sadie… That's 5 for Sadie and 5 for Bloo, if those vote is for neither Sadie nor Bloo, the five whose votes went for someone other than Sadie or Bloo will have to vote again."
Greg announced, "The fourth person voted out… Sadie. That's six votes, Sadie. I'm afraid you are… NOT THE ONE! (smashes plaque) Time to go!"
Sadie was very upset, "WAAAHHHH!!! WHY!! WHY!!!!"
She wept off into the darkness…
Greg went on to say, "Okay, so each of the teams is done to 14. Be ready because the tasks are only to get harder from here. Goodnight!"

Let me know if this method works, also if you liked the chapter.
