Author's Note: OMg, people we're so close to the end now! Can you feel the excitement!
"Welcome back to…Uber…Drama…Action!" Chris exclaimed. "I'm Chris McClean and with me today I have last season's biggest loser, Vince!"
"Hey!" spat a boy with red hair, grey coat, and brown hat. "Who you calling a loser!?"
"Uh, you," Chris retorted. "The guy who got last place."
"I will not take this intolerance! I prefer to think of it as 24th place," Vince replied.
"Out of 24…that's last place," Chris replied.
"Whatever! I'm no loser and your stupid, rigged showed can't change that!" Vince snapped.
"Anyways, last round Rich, tried to gather up—" Chris tried to say.
"Oh I hate that kid so much!" Vince grumbled. "He's so spineless and pathetic. How'd he even last this long!? It's an insult!"
"Uh…okay…well he tried to gather up votes to take out Judie," Chris continued.
"I hate her too!" Vince added. "So smug, thinks she's running this whole show. She is going to crash and burn and it will be glorious!"
"Yvonne was a little hesistant to join in," Chris said, "but when she saw the numbers were there, she flipped back to the majority."
"Ugh, pathetic!" Vince scoffed. "That's not playing the game, that's just going the easiest route and hoping everything works out. I'm glad it didn't!"
"Yes, getting to that, LaBelle agreed to help Rich, but changed her mind and got Judie to play her Diamond Marshmallow," Chris continued.
"I hate LaBelle, by the way," Vince said. "She's so stupid, making moves for no reason! It's disgusting, why hasn't anyone voted her out yet!?"
"With this Marshmallow play, all of the votes for Judie were cancelled out and it was Mona who left thanks to Judie and LaBelle," Chris said.
"Good riddance, I hated Mona, what was she even doing here?! Not playing the game, that's for sure!" Vince remarked.
"So, just six remain," Chris said, "Who will leave next? Judie, the big shot who's managed to make enemies, yet keep on surviving? Yvonne who's found herself going back and forth between alliances constantly? Victor who has been the initial target for some time, yet still managed to slide by?"
"I hope it's him," Vince scoffed. "He thinks he's so goody-goody? Well, he's not holier than me! And for the record, I also hate Jarred! I've got one word for him: Fake! He's not tough guy, just because he likes to put the image up!"
"Okay, well…thanks for your contributions," Chris said. "Now let's get back to the show on Uber…Drama…Action!"
(Theme Song Plays…)
(Team Hollywood)
Confessional:
Judie-Last night, I played my Diamond Marshmallow and it seems like I needed it. So that's one defense line down, but of course, when you're playing the Nighthawk, I make every move count. Of course people want me gone, but it won't be long before the seeds of chaos take root again. Just look at who's here, they'll be at each other's throats in now time. By removing Mona, I took out the only person who wasn't a cutthroat player, and that means it'll be easy enough to get the rest of these saps to bend to my will.
Rich-Well, last round kinda sucked, but could have also been a lot worse. Judie knows we're against her, but she's made the mistake by not taking us out when she had the chance. She's still going down, and I plan to see it happen.
Victor-Well, things didn't go the way I wanted…again…but at the same time, I'm still here and really that's enough for me to be grateful for. As long as there are bigger targets out there, I'm going to stick around, and I plan to keep on fighting right to the end.
Yvonne-Hm, interesting turn of events lasht night. Ze play of ze Diamond Marshmallow vas inevitable and I am just glad zat it vas not used to ruin my game. Now, ze margins are thinner zen ever and I have ze power to choose vhich side I vish to aid. I zhink I vill enjoy zis posizhion.
LaBelle-I did toy with the idea of voting out Judie, it could have been fun. But come on, with that Diamond Marshmallow ready to be played, it was too much fun to pass up. I bet no one saw that move coming and it's just a healthy reminder that when you're dealing with LaBelle you can expect nothing!
Jarred-It's annoying how Judie should have gone by now, yet somehow manages to slide by even without the majority of votes. She's running out of options though, she's desperate and I can see it.
Judie and LaBelle were meeting in their room together.
"Ah, last night was glorious," Judie remarked. "When will those brainless duds learn that their attempts are all just making them look ridiculous?"
"Works fine for me," LaBelle laughed. "If they just want to keep letting us slay them, then we'll be at the final 2 in no time."
"Of course, I'm sure they're all still trying to rally together," Judie lamented. "Despite last night's display, I haven't had anyone throwing themselves at my feet, begging for mercy yet."
"We've broken them apart before," LaBelle replied. "We can do it again."
"Obviously," Judie scoffed. "It'll just take a few simple nudges here and there and once again they'll topple like the dominoes they are."
Confessional:
Judie-Am I worried? Not at all! These people have proven time after time that they are willing to flip-flop right all over the place just so long as there's someone, for example, me, to tip them in the right way. If I can win immunity this round, I doubt they'd waste a vote on someone as worthless as LaBelle, so it will be right back to chaos for them.
"Hm…well last night could have gone better," Rich remarked as he paced the floor in a room with Jarred and Victor. "I guess that's what I get for trusting LaBelle."
"Tell me about it," Victor groaned. "That girl is a pathological liar, I swear."
"But, we still have the numbers," Rich said. "Judie has very few votes on her side, she's lost her one ace with the Diamond Marshmallow. She seriously has nowhere to hide."
"Yeah, she's a cornered animal now," Jarred agreed. "She's given everything she's got, and now she's done for. Let's do this once and for all."
"She's going down," Rich said with determination.
"I just wanted to say, guys," Victor added, stepping forward, "if this works and we can pull this off, I'm with you to the end. I've got nowhere else to turn, and I'd be happy to make Final 3 with the two of you."
"Thanks," Jarred said, "Let's focus on getting through this round. But if we do, I could see the three of us just wiping out the rest."
"For sure," Rich agreed. "You're definitely one of the most honest people here, so I don't doubt that you mean it."
Confessional:
Victor-I'm glad that Judie has stepped into the target and allowed me to sneak by. But at the same time, I know the game won't end the second she leaves, and I don't want to follow her right out. I didn't come here to leave right before the end, I came to win! I've got to do what it takes to get there.
Jarred-Rich and I have been tight for some time and I trust him to go right to the end with me. But having support from Victor will just help us take control of the game from here on out. I know Yvonne wants me out soon, but if everything goes as planned, she won't have the power to pull it off.
Rich-Making the end with Victor and Jarred is actually pretty ideal for me. Sure, both of them might be tough to beat, but they seem like really decent guys deep down, and I'd love to take them on for the final battle.
Judie dropped down from the ceiling in front of Yvonne.
"So, I couldn't help but notice that you're in no hurry to beg my forgiveness for voting against me last night," Judie remarked. "Are you sure that's wise? Don't want to end up like Mona next, would you?"
"Dun't make me laugh," Yvonne sneered. "You should be begging me for protection. You zhink zat move you pulled vill actually save you? Ze boys have a vun track mind to get you out next."
"But not you," Judie deduced. "No, you're smarter than that, aren't you?"
"Depends on your definition of shmart," Yvonne replied.
"You know that the guys are getting tight," Judie said. "You know that the second I leave, you become the next biggest target. And guess what? You're stuck in a 2-3 minority, at best. So, voting me out now is in no way smart, and you know it full well!"
"I vill conshider your offer," Yvonne said.
"Oh let your ego take a hit for once in your life and just accept that I'm right!" Judie snapped. "There's no need for you to dance around the topic. It's as simple as this: If I leave this round, you will have an uphill battle to make it to the end of this game. That's three rounds where you'll have to fight for your life."
"…You do make a valid point," Yvonne replied.
"Of course I do," Judie said.
Confessional:
Yvonne-I dun't trust any vun, never have and never vill, you simply cahn't in zis game if you expect to survive. Vhile I realize zat Judie is dangerous, it is true zat I dun't believe I vill have security vith ze boys. So I am put with a very interesting decizion.
Judie-Yvonne's felt insecure for some time now, and since she still hasn't made the move she's been itching for, I doubt that she's going to be happy sticking with what the three boys want. Of course, she's too proud to admit it and with an attitude like that, I'm not even too willing to save her. But for this round we both need each other and she needs to swallow her pride and accept it.
LaBelle grabbed Victor by the sleeve as he walked through the hall.
"Hey, hey, we should talk!" LaBelle exclaimed.
"Why?" Victor said in frustration.
"Okay, I get it, you're mad at me," LaBelle said apologetically.
"It's not just that," Victor said. "I can't trust anything you say. I can't trust that anything I say won't end up back to Judie."
"Right, right, and that's perfectly reasonable," LaBelle said. "But right now I'm going to just be straight-up with you and say, I think you should flip to me and Judie."
"Well, I don't doubt that you're being sincere, but to be honest, that idea sounds completely insane for me right now," Victor said.
"Think about it!" LaBelle said. "You're still the outsider, once Judie goes, what's the stop Yvonne from getting back with Jarred and Rich? You know how people think, they'll gun for the next big threat. And between you and me, I think it's safe to say that I'm not winning any MVP awards here, so where does that leave you?"
"Goodbye, LaBelle," Victor said as he walked off. "I'm done talking."
Confessional:
Victor-I'm not letting LaBelle get into my head again. She's caused far too much of a mess already. I'm much more willing to take my chances with Rich and Jarred than to let those two slip by yet again.
(Later)
"Final six!" Chris exclaimed as everyone arrived at their meeting spot. "This is it, the big shots are here! Every challenge is critical and you should know that, the closer you get to the end, the less room there is to hide."
"You don't have to tell us twice, Chris," Victor remarked.
"Let's get on with it," Chris said. "For this challenge we'll be taking a trip don't memory lane…with a return to our island setting of last season!"
"Oh…um…that's exciting," Rich remarked while everyone else awkwardly agreed.
"Come on, guys, can't you show a little more enthusiasm than that?" Chris groaned.
"Sorry, ve already voted out mosht of ze people who vould have gotten excited," Yvonne remarked.
"Well, be that as it may, let's get this on with," Chris said.
The host guided the final six to the edge of the studio. He opened the gate and let them out onto the beach.
"Our famous Uber Island is just out there," Chris said.
"Wow, who knew we were so close all this time?" Rich remarked in surprise.
"This challenge has three parts," Chris said. "All of it will be testing your constructive abilities. First, at the beach you'll be constructing a boat to get across the lake out of only the junk we provide for you. After that, you'll have to make use of the wilderness to start a fire at the island. Once you have a fire going, you'll be allowed to climb the mountain. At the peak, you'll be designing your own flying craft to get back over the lake and safely back at the studio. First person to arrive shall be immune and safe into the final 5. Understood?"
The final 6 nodded.
"Begin!" Chris exclaimed.
Confessional:
Rich-Going into this challenge my goal is simply to stop Judie from winning. As long as she's not immune, she's outta here!
Victor-This challenge actually suits me pretty well. I've had to be creative with what I've got to get by back home, so I think I should be able to figure a few things out here.
Judie-Ha! This challenge will be a walk in the park! I've got no worries here!
The six began to sort through the piles of scraps that Chris had laid out for them. Victor and Judie immediately went to work making a base out of what they could find.
"Hm, this could work," Victor remarked as he took a rubber bin and flattened it out.
Once he had the stretched out sheet of rubber, he attached it to the foundation he was constructing. Judie, meanwhile, was busy gathering up ropes, wires, and anything she could use to tie her raft together. By now, Yvonne had managed to find a weathered bedsheet and held it up to inspect.
"Yes, zhis vill vork for my sail," she declared.
Jarred was mainly just throwing together what he could, carelessly. LaBelle had a similar approach, although was taking it much more passionately.
"Aaaaha!" she exclaimed while slamming two pieces of equipment together.
Rich, meanwhile, was taking a very specific approach. He had gathered up as many floatation devices as he could find.
"Oh…there's one," he remarked as he picked up a life preserver. "And there's another!"
As time went by the six worked on their contraptions. Eventually they all had something to show. Jarred had put together a raft out of various sheets of metal and cardboard. Rich had also tied together a base, but added floatation devices to all sides of it. Judie's craft looked much sturdier, and as well came with several spikes or sharp objects lining the edges. Yvonne had a small craft, mostly made of broken wooden parts, most notably on it though was its mast and sail. Victor had a very sturdy, smooth shaped craft. LaBelle's…was essentially a mess of junk all fused together unstably.
"Alright, you're already to embark on the first part," Chris exclaimed. "Get set…go!"
The final six pushed their ships into the water. All of them had grabbed bars, pipes, or planks of wood to use as oars. Soon they were propelling themselves out through the lake.
"Ha, vonce ze vind picks up, I von't even need to stroke," Yvonne laughed to herself. "I vill just let myself be carried along."
However, there seemed to be no breeze to speak of, so Yvonne was forced to continue to paddle. Rich was paddling madly, trying to keep the lead. Judie used broad strokes and managed to pull ahead. Victor followed behind both of them at a steady pace. Jarred was having trouble even staying afloat.
"Ugh…c'mon," he groaned while trying to balance his weight.
It didn't do much good, though, and water continued to engulf his shoddy ride. Jarred just grunted helplessly as he sank into the water. LaBelle, meanwhile, was just floating helplessly.
"Come on, do something crazy!" she exclaimed as she kicked at it.
Suddenly, she activated a fan on the back, which functioned as a motor for her. In a flash, she was sent soaring across the water, leaving the others behind her in her wake.
Confessional:
Jarred-Okay, maybe I should have thought that through a little better.
LaBelle-That was totally my intention!
Judie-I am winning this challenge, and if anyone gets in my way, they are going to regret it.
Yvonne-Ugh, if zhere vas actually a breeze I could be halfvay across by now. But no…zilch, nozhing, vhat a vaste.
With LaBelle in a huge lead, Rich, Judie, and Victor were left to contend for second. As Rich and Victor gained on Judie and came up on either side of her, she began to get aggressive.
"Back off!" she snapped while she slammed into Rich.
The sharp edges on her ship torn into his. One of them even burst his inflated supports.
"Uh-oh!" Rich exclaimed as his ship was thrown off balance.
Victor was able to slow down to dodge Judie's attack on him. Victor managed to maintain his pace just below Judie and follow behind her. Rich meanwhile wasn't giving up on paddling madly and was still able to keep up. He distanced himself from Judie cautiously though. Yvonne was struggling to even keep up from the rear.
"I'm telling you, as soon as ze vind picks up, you vill see how genius my design is," Yvonne called to those ahead of her.
However, still the air remained stagnant and Yvonne was forced to continue moving herself manually. Far ahead of everyone, LaBelle had crashed straight into the island.
"Waah!" she cried as her boat collided with the shore and she was launched forward into the beach.
She pulled herself out of the sand and shook herself off.
"Okay, let's get to this next part," she said to herself.
She walked along the beach where she saw several pit marked off by stones.
"So I need a fire, eh?" she said to herself. "Well, how hard can that be?"
LaBelle gathered a bunch of different leaves and threw them onto the pit. She then grabbed a pair of twig and began to rub then together.
"Come on, fire!" she exclaimed as she worked furiously. "FIRE!"
Back in the water, Rich, Judie, and Victor were still going neck and neck. Judie narrowed her eyes at Rich as he started to inch ahead. Judie continued to stroke broadly and managed to keep her lead. Rich found himself running out of strength. He stopped paddling to rest his arms and catch his breath. Victor passed him and kept on following Judie at a steady pace. However, seeing them leave him behind, Rich was filled with determination.
"No, can't stop now," Rich said to himself. "Gotta be strong."
Rich continued to paddle with a new vigor. He managed to pass Victor again and came up to match Judie. Judie growled in frustration as she saw him to start to pass her again.
Looking out at the shore, LaBelle could start to see the boats approaching by now.
"Ugh, my lead is almost all gone!" she groaned. "Fire, give me fire!"
She tossed her sticks away in frustration.
"More fuel, that's what I need!" she declared as she threw more leaves onto the pile.
She then went back to work slamming her sticks together.
"Come on, come on!" she groaned.
Eventually, the leaves burst into a sudden flame.
"Aha, it actually worked!" she exclaimed victoriously.
"Good job," Beth said, emerging from the woods. "If you'll follow me, I'll take you to the mountain where you'll begin working on the final round."
Beth led LaBelle to the base of the mountain.
"I have to get all the way to the top?" LaBelle groaned. "This is going to take a while."
Confessional:
LaBelle-I've still got a lead, but it's fading. I've got to take on this last leg fast or else someone else is going to catch up.
Judie-I can still win this, and I still plan to. I just need to scrape off these leeches and victory will be mine!
Rich-It's taking all my strength, but I am not giving in! I am going to give Judie a real worthy fight, and then we'll see who's standing at the end.
LaBelle began her trek up the path along the mountain. At the shore of the beach, Rich had arrived and was soon followed by Judie. Both of them quickly rushed to the section with the pits, waiting for fire.
"Okay, I can do this," Rich said as he tossed a pile of thin twigs into the pit.
He then grabbed a pair of rocks and began to scrape them together, without getting much result. Judie was working quickly, arranging various branches in a specific formation. From there she began rubbing them back and forth vigorously. Victor had arrived by now and also ran to join the other two. He also began to stack some thin branches before rubbing them together.
"Aha!" Judie exclaimed victoriously as she revealed a roaring fire.
"Ugh, how does she do that?" Rich groaned as he continued to scrape rocks together uselessly.
"Alright, lucky you, let's go," Eva grunted as she guided Judie up to the mountain path.
Victor was starting to get some smoke off of his pile of wood by now.
"No," Rich groaned in frustration. "Come on, give me something!"
Rich finally got some sparks off of his rocks and the twigs caught flame.
"Yes!" he cheered.
"Right this way," Beth said.
Victor was soon to follow in success.
"You too," Duncan nodded at Victor.
Both boys eagerly chased after Judie. Yvonne was the last to arrive at the beach.
"Stupid nature," she hissed. "Vhat did I ever do to you!?'
Seeing that the others had all finished the fire round, Yvonne just sighed again in frustration.
"I'm not out of zis yet and I vill catch up!" she declared with determination.
LaBelle was slowing down as she forced herself up the steep slow.
"Oh, god," she groaned as she looked down to see several figures already gaining on her. "Gotta keep moving, just keep moving."
Judie was charging up the slope, while Rich strained himself to keep up behind her.
"Oh wow…I can't do this," he sighed as he leaned against the side of the mountain.
"You doing okay?" Victor asked as he stopped next to him. "You don't look so well?"
"I'm fine," Rich said through heavy breaths. "Just give me a second."
Victor gave him a concerned glance but continued to run. Eventually a very exhausted LaBelle reached the top, where a similar assortment of parts were scattered around.
"Well, it worked for me once, let's see if I can make this strategy two for two," she said as she began throwing together whatever she could.
Judie arrived next. She took a glance at LaBelle, and shook her head condescendingly
"That's cute," she remarked before carefully selecting the parts that she wanted.
As Judie worked, Victor came up from behind. He took a quick look at all the parts and began to sort through them, taking what he needed.
"Behold, my flying machine!" LaBelle exclaimed as she revealed a chair with a helicopter propeller and several strings of Christmas lights dangling from it.
LaBelle hopped into the seat and spun the propeller. Surprisingly a gust of wind actually picked up at that moment and she was lifted into the air.
"See you at the finish line, losers!" she laughed.
Judie gave her a dismissive glance before putting the finishing touches on her contraption. She held up a hang-glider with ridged wings.
"This should do that trick," she remarked.
Victor was still in the process of putting his pieces together. Rich arrived at the mountain next, sweaty and depleted of breath. Judie was beginning to position herself along the edge of the cliff.
"Let's see…maximum efficiency would be….just about…here," she said while pacing around.
"Yoink!" Rich exclaimed as he swiped the glider straight out of her grip. "I'll just borrow this."
"Hey, give that back!" Judie snapped. "You will face the dire consequences!"
"Sorry, going to have to catch me first," Rich said before diving off with the glider.
"Oooh!" Judie simmered.
Rich soared over the water and started to gain on LaBelle.
"Going to have to go faster than that!" LaBelle taunted.
However, suddenly the wind slowed and her propeller moved with much less force.
"Uh-oh," she remarked before plummeting into the lake.
Confessional:
LaBelle-Oh well, easy come, easy go. I don't even need immunity.
Rich-I can tell you, I'm definitely taking some satisfaction for sabotaging Judie's chances. She's played dirty all season long, it's time for a little payback.
Yvonne-Ugh, I've losht so much time already. My only hope is zhat ze ozhers vill fail at ze final leg and I can pull a comeback.
Judie-Ugh, who does that little, brainless brat thing he is!? Trying to take on me, the Nighthawk!? Does he have a death wish!? No, worse than that! He must have a fate-worse-than-death wish to even TRY to think about making me mad!
Yvonne, finishing her fire desperately, ran for the mountain.
"Just follow me and—" Justin tried to say.
"Out of my vay!" Yvonne snapped while shoving him into a tree.
"Ow," Justin groaned.
Yvonne sprinted up the mountain at full speed. At the top, Victor was finishing off his contraption which ended up consisting of a unicycle with a pair of wooden wings attached to the pedals.
"This is probably not even going to work," he sighed. "But I can hope."
He took off and began pedaling. The wings flapped with his feet and managed to keep him propelled in the air.
"I cannot believe this!" he laughed in surprise.
He floated through the air and followed after Rich who was still gliding above the lake. Yvonne arrived at the peak to find Judie scrambling to put together a massive kite.
"Room for vun mohr?" Yvonne remarked as she jumped onto Judie and clung to her lake just before takeoff.
"Let go!" Judie snapped.
"Eizher ve both make it to ze end or neizher of us do," Yvonne retorted.
The three crafts hovered over the lake, while making a progression towards the shore where the studio awaited. Rich still held the lead, but Victor was pedaling hard to keep moving and catch up with him. Judie was tolerating Yvonne by now, but they still weren't going far.
"This is pointless," Judie groaned.
Suddenly a strong gust of wind knocked both of them out of the air and sent them spiralling into the water.
"I tell you, Mozher Nature is out for my blood," Yvonne grumbled.
This left the race between Victor and Rich. They could see the studio and began to descend for it. Victor was gaining on Rich, slowing coming up to the point of passing him. Reaching the beach they dropped for it. One of them hit it first.
"And the winner of this challenge, gaining themselves a spot in the glorious final 5," Chris announced, "is…"
…
…
…
…
…
"Rich!"
"Congrats, man," Victor said to Rich.
"Alright, no time to celebrate now," Chris said. "You've got a very important elimination to figure out."
Confessional:
Rich-Alright, final 5! And what's more, I think this elimination will be working out my way. Don't want to sound cocky, but I really think there aren't too many more surprises hiding around.
Judie-Fine, he can have his immunity. Nighthawk will be hitting in full fury tonight and once again, these saps will bend to my might!
(Later)
Yvonne met with Judie and LaBelle.
"So, are you with us?" Judie demanded. "Have you realized that it's the only smart way to go?"
"I vill vote vith you," Yvonne said, "on vun condizion. Ve vote out Victor."
"But that doesn't make any sense," Judie scoffed. "Rich and Jarred are a pair. Jarred is a powerhouse in challenges. Why are we wasting a vote like this!?"
"Because I say so," Yvonne hissed. "And because you dun't vant to go home, so you don't have many opzhions."
"She does bring up a point there," LaBelle remarked.
"You think I'm desperate and defeat!?" Judie snapped. "Guess again! You don't get to make demands, I am the Nighthawk! I give the orders here!"
"Vhat good vill zat do you vithout ze followers?" Yvonne scoffed coldly. "I am voting for Victor tonight. It is your decizion vether you vant to join me or leave ze game."
With that, Yvonne left the room.
Confessional:
Yvonne-Judie likes to put on a show, I dun't zhink her ego can take anyzhing else. But I hold ze power in zis situation and she knows it full vell. Vunce she helps me to take out Victor, I vill have Jarred and Rich on vun side and Judie on LaBelle in ze ozher, I vill be placing myself in ze perfect posizion.
Judie-Ugh, the Nighthawk will not be defeated! And that's the bottom line. If it means having to let Yvonne play queen then so be it, but she had better not get comfy, because you know what? She's dead next!
LaBelle-It's funny how this vote should be dead simple, yet people are still letting their egos muddy things up. That's what I love about this, I'm still able to drop a single spark and change the entire course!
Jarred, Victor, and Rich were also meeting in a room together.
"Alright, good work on immunity, Rich," Jarred said. "Now all that remains is to vote out Judie."
"You think you can get Yvonne on board?" Rich asked.
"Honestly, I wouldn't count on it," Jarred said. "It'd be smart to take out Judie now, but Yvonne's paranoid and has been really sketchy with me because of it. I don't think I've really gotten through to her lately."
"So we may be headed towards a tie," Victor noted. "Which means one of us is going to be facing off with Judie."
"She doesn't scare me," Jarred remarked. "She loves to play up her intimidation, but I know I can take her."
"And if I'm the target, I will give every ounce of fight I've got," Victor added. "If it comes down to that, failure is not an option."
"Alright, so we're pumped and ready to do this," Jarred said. "Let's get it over with!"
Confessional:
Rich-I'm actually now realizing how glad I am to have this immunity. If it's going to be a tiebreaker, Jarred and Victor are both stronger than me and would be better to take on Judie. If she slides by this…(rubs face) I'll be stressed to say the least.
Victor-It could very well be my life on the line tonight, but I'm not letting that phase me. Judie may be fighting hard, but I am fighting for a purpose, and I will be channeling that if I'm the one targeted by the others.
Jarred-I can see why Yvonne would want to vote with Judie, and I may try to reassure her, but I'm not sure it would accomplish much at this point. We know how it is and how this inevitably is going to go.
(Carpet of Shame)
"Welcome, final 6!" Beth exclaimed.
"One step away from the big five," Duncan announced.
"But first one of you has to fall," Justin added.
"And it sucks to be that loser," Eva said.
"Let's get things started with a marshmallow for our immunity winner of the day…Rich!" Beth exclaimed.
"Also safe," Duncan continued, "…LaBelle!"
"And another golden marshmallow for…" Justin said, "…Yvonne!"
This left Jarred, Judie, and Victor.
"Alright you three," Eva said, "this marshmallow is going to…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Jarred!"
This just left Victor and Judie.
"So be it," Victor said under his breath.
"And now it's time for the final marshmallow," Beth announced, "here I have it…in my hands…the last one…and…it goes to…"

"Victor!"
There seemed to be a collective stunned surprise filling the room. Victor clutched the golden marshmallow to his chest without ever exhaling. Judie's jaw dropped and her mouth assumed a perfect circle. She just sat perfectly still.
"Judie, time to go," Duncan said.
Judie remained still.
"Alright, let's get moving," Justin said as he took her handed and guided her to the Lame-O-Sine.
She followed lifelessly, still in a state of shock. Justin put her into the vehicle and she was taken off.
"So long, don't come back," Eva spat. "So for the rest of you, good job and all that crap on making the final 5. It's a pretty big number, I guess, so be proud and junk."
Rich high-fived with Jarred, Victor finally began to breathe again. Yvonne shook her head in confusion, while LaBelle flipped her hair with a coy smile.
Votes:
Jarred-Judie, I can't make this any clearer. Get. Out!
Victor-Judie, if it's me vs you then all I can say is that I'm getting a worthy opponent.
Yvonne-Victor, I vill not be fooled like all ze rest. I vill not let you valtz your vay to ze end. You leave tonight.
Rich-Judie, I could vote for you a million times and it still wouldn't be enough. Go home and learn some humility.
Judie-I vote for Victor…not because anyone told me to! But because it's all part of the Nighthawk's strategy!
LaBelle-Hmmm….do I really want to force a tie? I mean…that's what everyone's expecting right. If there's one thing I've learned these past few days, it's that with so many hotshots in this house gunning for each other, I've got nothing to worry about. So, to be honest…Judie, I've outgrown you. Ta-ta!
(Conclusion)
"And so ends the reign of Nighthawk," Chris wrapped up. "And we have our final 5. Yvonne, the ice-cold ballerina. Rich, the nice guy who's learned to toughen up. Jarred, the rough kid who's proven to have a soft center. Victor, the boy who's fighting tooth and nail just for a shot at a better life. And LaBelle, the ultimate troll who plays for no one but herself. Who will take home the gold? We're closer than ever to finding out so keep watching Uber…Drama…Action!"

Author's Note: So, there's Judie. In a lot of my previous fics the main villain would be someone sneaky and devious, so for this season I wanted to take a bit of a different approach and have a big bad who would just be in your face and up front and aggressive yet still manage to bend the game to her will. That was Judie. I feel like she didn't quite end up as obviously evil as I had originally intended, often having to step up into the strategy role on her alliance, but I'm fine with that because I feel it suits with the theme. In the end though, Judie was meant to just send herself crashing and burning with her own ego, and this is where I always intended her to go after overestimating her own competence and screwing herself over with all her previous actions. In other news...final 5 time, omg!
