Author's Note~

FINAL SIX TIME, AND ALONG WITH THAT, TIME TO DO A CHALLENGE THAT'S LONG OVERDUE!

Delta: WOOH! LET'S PARTY! YEAH! FINAL SIX! LETS GO!

Okay, enough with the fun!

Delta: Also, a fair warning...Don't eat while reading this...Or do, but don't complain if you do and feel awful later.

...Well there goes foreshadowing for the chapter. Let's just get started.

The contestants were walking towards the mess hall as usual in the morning, opening the doors only to notice that the chef wasn't present and the smell of food wasn't lingering in the air as usual. The players stood there in confusion, before Gareth blinked, "...Where's the food?"

"Oh, you'll all be eating soon…"

They turned to the side, noticing the hosts were sitting at one of the tables, watching them with amused looks. Zetsu deadpanned, "I have a very bad feeling about this."

Amber smiled as she stood from her seat, "Today's challenge will be starting soon, and might I tell you it will be an interesting one, because it's going to be a battle of the sexes!"

The players glanced at each other, before Gareth rose an arm up, "What's a sex?"

The Glaceon gave him a confused look, before shaking her head with a smile, "Anyways, girls versus boys for the next challenge, so you will all have ten minutes to play nice with each other and then the challenge will begin," she smirked to herself, "Also, for the ladies...You better win, because I have a little side bet going on with Logy on this challenge, and you winning will benefit me completely."

Cynthia rose a brow, "What do we get out of it?"

She smirked, "Invincibility and automatic access to the final five."

The fox blinked, before glancing away, "...Fair enough."

The hostess waved as she made her way out of the mess hall, "See you all in ten minutes, so play nice!"

As the hosts left, the players looked at each other once more, before splitting up into their gender specific groups. Gareth grinned as he walked behind Doc and Zetsu, "This is going to be so cool! We get to show the girls that boys do not drool and girls do not rule, but...They kinda do rule...And I do drool in my sleep sometimes…"

Zetsu facepalmed, "Okay...Whatever this challenge is, we have to do it. It'll give us access into the final five, and it'll leave the girls vulnerable to elimination, and that means we can get Cynthia out."

Doc nodded, "Yep, and honestly, after that whole Kanaya thing last challenge, we basically have the majority on her."

The Larvesta smiled, "Yeah, and once she's gone we'll have the majority over Nazira, then Gare-" He stopped himself, looking over at the confused lion, "...I mean...Let's win this thing!"

The Luxio blinked, staring at him for a moment, before smiling brightly, "Yeah! Let's win this thing! Wooh!"

As the boys continued to talk, Cynthia glanced back to them, before frowning, "This is ride or die, meaning we have to beat them...If we lose then this competition is most likely over for us once they get the upper hand...Gender wise."

Nazira nodded, "'Yah, if we lose, 'ya are basically done, so we jus' have 'ta make sure we win."

Nearby, Tempest scoffed, "Please, Tempest does not need to win this challenge!"

Cynthia rose a brow, "Tempest, you can't just blow the challenge. You need to help us if you like it or not, because we're a team right now basically."

The Joltik smirked, "Please, Tempest has nothing to lose if we don't win. If we don't, then pathetic fox leaves and Tempest lives another day!"

The fox stared at her, before giving Nazira a look, "This day won't end too well."

Gareth hummed as he stared at the camera, "Why do I have a feeling that those two guys are hiding something from me?"

He shrugged, "Eh...It's probably nothing...They're too nice to keep secrets from me!"

Cynthia gave the camera a look, "This won't do...If Tempest refuses to help, then our chances of winning sinks, then we lose, then I get voted out…"

She rubbed her head, before giving the camera a determined look, "I am not going down because of one person...If I'm going down, then it's going to be the right way."

The hosts made their way back to the mess hall, as Amber let out a small sigh, "Okay campers, I hope you are all ready for your next challenge."

Cynthia rose a brow, "What about our food?"

The Glaceon stared at her for a moment, before smiling, "Well...Your challenge does involve eating, so...For today your challenge will be...The brunch of disgustingness!"

Zetsu shuddered, "T-That sounds disgusting!"

She deadpanned, "Well duh...Anyways, you will each be given a nine course meal, and each member of each team must finish each dish. And trust me...Each dish will be gross...Some may be grosser than others, some may be less gross as the last, but regardless...It will be gross."

Doc smirked, "Um...I think me and Nazira kind of have an advantage here."

Logan rolled his eyes, "Yeah, we sorta were prepared for that, so we have Chef Tyson add some...Special ingredients, just so you two will have just as much of a problem."

Amber smiled, "On the bright side, whoever wins gets a special treat! The winning team will spend two days at a five star hotel, where they will be pampered, eat gourmet food, relax and enjoy themselves, and get checked by quality doctors for anything they may have caught here."

Zetsu gulped, "W-What about the losing team?"

Logan gave him a look, "...You vote someone off...That feels like an obvious answer to a stupid question, probably because it is."

The hostess nodded, "And you obviously won't be going to a fancy resort, you'll be stuck here...On the island, with no dinner...And you'll be spending time with Chef Tyson."

The players glanced to the back where the Tyranitar gave them a devious smirk, before cutting off the head of a frozen fish. Cynthia shuddered, "...Joy."

Amber smiled brightly, "Now...Let's get this show on the road!"

Cynthia frowned, "After the last challenge...I honestly think I can be up for almost any disgusting thing they throw at me...Almost any...I can't be too cocky without knowing the details of the dish, but it should be slightly easier...I hope."

The players sat on opposite tables, as they stared at the silver dinner plates in front of them, as Amber gave them a nod, "Now...Let's begin with the challenge!"

The contestants looked down at their plates, raising a brow at the plate of meatballs in front of them. They stared at the dish, before Zetsu deadpanned, "...Meatballs?"

Logan shuddered slightly, "Well...You're kind of right, but...These meatballs are..." He gagged for a moment, before patting his chest, "...Special…"

Amber nodded slowly, "These are special meatballs from Tauros...We're trying to hint at something because I'd rather not say it out loud."

The females all rose a brow at this, while on the other side of the hall, the males glanced down at their plates...Before all of their eyes simultaneously widened in shock and horror. Doc gagged slightly, Zetsu instantly paled as he placed a hand over his eyes, and Gareth looked down in horror as he let out a weak whimper, before pushing it away, "No way! I'm not touching this!"

Doc nodded, "Yeah dude, this is seriously sick, even for me!"

Zetsu groaned, before looking up at the ceiling, "I feel so sorry for those poor, poor Tauros…"

Cynthia stared at the boys, before glancing down at her plate, "Ah...So it's that kind of meat."

The boys shuddered at her choice of words, as Amber sighed, "It's hard I know, but you must...Get on with it."

Nazira stared down at the plate, before shrugging as ghostly energy surrounded one of the meatballs, "Eh, shouldn' be 'dat bad." Without thinking twice, she moved it into her mouth, as all of the boys all cringed and twitched from the crunching sounds, before the Mismagius' eyes widened, "...Oh god…" She shuddered as she forced it down, before twitching, "...Please do not tell me some people actually eat 'dis!"

The hostess glanced away, "...Some people actually do...It's interesting to say the least."

Zetsu gagged slightly, before leaning over the table, "I think I'm going to be sick…"

Doc stared down at the plate, before breathing in, "...I'm gonna do it."

Gareth and Zetsu both gasped, before the former whispered, "B-But...Y-You can't! That's like...That's like breaking the guy code! I think…"

Zetsu nodded quickly, "Not only that, but seriously this is way too far! I don't even think the girls can finish this dish!"

On the other side of the room, Nazira groaned, "'Yah, cause it tastes awful!"

The boys stared at her, before Gareth looked down at his plate, "...W-Well...If you guys are gonna do it, then I'll do it."

The Larvesta next to him deadpanned, "I'm not eating this...Nothing you guys can do will get me to eat this."

Doc and Gareth turned to one another at this, before the former said, "Hold him down."

Zetsu's eyes widened as he backed away, "W-Wait...H-Hold on-" he yelped when Gareth picked him up, holding him down against the table as he yelled, "This is a cruel and unusual punishment! I can have you people get taken away for this!"

The Spiritomb let out a sigh, "Zetsu...I'm just letting you know this is gonna hurt me in just as many ways as it's gonna hurt you."

The bug squirmed as he glared at him, "I'm going to get you back for this-" He was cut off when a spoonful of meatballs was shoved in his mouth as he silently screamed.

Gareth looked down at him, "How is it?" He flinched when the Larvesta let out a gag, "Okay...I guess it's awful."

Cynthia watched them from her seat, before looking down at her plate, "Okay...We have to do this now while they're struggling."

Nazira was staring at the boys in shock, "'Yah...Can' really blame 'dem for 'dat kinda reaction 'doe."

The fox nodded, before shuddering as she picked up one of the meatballs, placing it in her mouth as she slowly chewed, "Oh god...This doesn't even taste good...How do people eat this?"

Tempest scoffed from her seat, "Please, doubt it even tastes bad. All you people are just being chickens!"

Nazira gave her a look, "'Den why don' 'ya give it a try and prove it?"

The spider rolled her eyes, "No, Tempest still trying to help boyfriend's team win in order to eliminate rude fox."

Cynthia deadpanned, "The same team that's practically force feeding him?"

The Joltik shrugged, "Either way, not helping."

The Ninetales growled, before Nazira whispered to her, "Okay, clearly we have 'ta find a way 'ta trick 'dis girl inta' helpin' us, cause otherwise, we ain' winnin' 'dis."

She glanced over to the boys, noticing that Zetsu was now done and was crying to himself...Along with the other guys, noticeably hearing Doc screaming in regret, before humming to herself, "What could we do to get her help…?"

Amber glanced at her nails, before looking over at the girls, "Better hurry ladies, because the guys are almost done."

Nazira groaned, before saying, "Well, we need 'ta find somethin' 'dat she holds 'ta such a high degree, 'dat she'd be willin' 'ta go against helpin' Zetsu jus' to secure it."

Cynthia hummed to herself, before letting out a loud sigh, "I don't think she's going to eat Nazira...She's probably too stupid to do it."

The bug in question's eyes suddenly widened at this insult, before growling, "What did fox just say?!"

The Ninetales gave her a small smile, "Oh it's nothing, Tempest...Nazira and I understand if you're too scared to eat. You obviously can't handle it, especially with your tiny size."

The spider's eyes twitched, before suddenly letting out a warcry as she jumped on the fox, slapping her across the face, before growling, "Tempest shall prove stupid demon wrong!" Screaming at the top of her lungs, the Joltik jumped into the pile of meatballs on the table, leaving the stunned Ninetales in shock.

Nazira blinked, before saying, "'Ya know, on 'da bright side, 'dat could have gone worse for 'ya."

Cynthia's eye twitched slightly, before pressing a paw to her cheek, flinching slightly, "Who knew that would actually sting...Anyways, we best finish before the boys."

On the boy's side, Doc and Zetsu were...Oddly doing some weird kind of hug, as they both cried tears of pain, the former saying, "I'm so sorry! No man deserves to go through that!"

Zetsu let out a cry as he shook his head, "I can't believe we're actually e-eat...E-Eating t-these! I actually think Gareth's brain dead now!"

The Luxio in question was sitting in his seat, his eyes were widened in horror as he stuttered, "N-No...B-Bad...T-Tauros...S-Sorry…"

Amber gave them a look of pity, "Those poor boys…"

Cynthia flinched as she plopped the last of her meatballs in her mouth, chewing with a small shudder, before swallowing with a sigh, "I-I'm done…"

The hostess walked over to the girls table, looking at all the plates, before nodding, "Interesting...Well, it looks like the girls earn this point!"

The girls in question let out a cheer of victory, while the guys just continued to cry, as Zetsu screamed, "In the end it didn't even matter!"

Zetsu whimpered, "I feel so dirty...I-I didn't want to, but I was forced! I was forced and we didn't even get the stupid point! Ahh!"

Cynthia sighed, "It was disgusting, but at least we gained a point...Even if I got slapped, we still got it."

Gareth sniffled, before wiping a stray tear from his eyes, "Tauros...Wherever you are, and even if you're watching...I'm so sorry...I...I broke the guy code...Whatever that is!"

Tempest growled, "...Tempest is not stupid, and certainly not weak! She shall prove that fox wrong in every way she possibly can with these next dishes! Mark Tempest's words, she shall be a gladiator of doom that all shall fall under in failure!"

Amber looked at the contestants, before sighing, "Now that we got that dish out of the way...Who's in the mood for pizza?"

Zetsu shuddered, "As long as there are no meatballs on it…"

Gareth whimpered, "I don't think I can eat meatballs ever again…"

Doc nodded with a horrified look, "Ditto…"

Nazira watched the boys with a sympathetic look, "Okay, not gonna lie, startin' 'ta feel bad for 'dose guys."

Cynthia nodded with a sigh, "I agree it's...It's pretty sad seeing them like this."

As she said that the next dish came in. It was a semi frozen pizza that had an odd color and odor to it, as the players flinched when Amber spoke, "Raw poke pizza...And yes, it is very gross."

Doc stared at the pizza, before sighing in relief, "Oh thank god, this one actually seems doable."

Zetsu flinched, "Oh god...The smell…"

Nazira gave him a look, "What smell? I don' smell anythin' on 'dis one."

Tempest surprisingly looked a little uncomfortable as she stared at the pizza, tapping it with her hand, before a look of disgust formed on her face, "...Tempest don't like this one very much."

Cynthia gave the pizza a look, "It's very...Off setting."

Gareth stared at the pizza with a horrified expression, before letting out a breath, as he turned to his group, "We have to eat this...For the honor of our Tauros brothers!"

Doc shrugged, "I mean, I'm down for it. Doesn't look that bad compared to the previous one."

Zetsu nodded, "Yeah...If we can eat the last dish then we can basically eat anything." He picked up the pizza, raising a brow at it as he looked it over, "...Wait..Is there some sort of strange pepperoni in here or something?"

The ghost gave him a look, "I don't think most pizzas have the toppings actually baked into the crust."

Amber shuddered, "Oh...That's because there are some...Bugs baked into the pizza-" As she said this, Zetsu quickly dropped his pizza in shock.

Doc blinked, before deadpanning at the hostess, "Did you really have to tell him that before he ate?"

Zetsu shook his head, "No way...Nuh-uh! I am not going to eat bugs right after eating meatballs! It's not happening!"

Gareth scooted closer to the Spiritomb, whispering, "Do I need to hold him down?"

The Larvesta glared at him as multiple flames spouted from his red horns, "You even try to touch me and I'm going to burn you and that pizza!"

As the boys were talking, Cynthia glanced down at her pizza, "...Okay...since they're having trouble over there, I say this is the perfect opportunity to score again."

Nazira glanced at a currently horrified Tempest, "I guess, but I don' 'dink she'll be able 'ta eat it."

The fox looked down at the spider, before frowning slightly, "This is very wrong on so many levels…" She sighed, before turning to the hosts, "Is it possible to skip this one? Neither player from our teams are going to eat this dish."

Logan shook his head, "No, you guys have to eat it. Force it down their throats if necessary-" As he said this, a loud burst of anger was heard, as everyone in the room turned to see Zetsu glaring down his two teammates, their pizza now completely burnt to a crisp, "...Okay then, girls win by default."

The girls looked confused, while the boys were still staring up at Zetsu, before Gareth spoke, "U-Umm...We don't have to e-eat it now! Y-You can stop being scary…"

Zetsu continued to glare at them, before letting his flames die down as he returned to his seat with a calm expression on his face, "Good...Thanks for not doing anything to me this time."

Nazira was staring at the boys, before chuckling, "Huh, maybe we'll start gettin' through 'dese rounds jus' cause 'dose guys suck as a team."

Cynthia nodded with a sigh of relief, "The good thing was that we didn't have to eat this dish in the end…" She glanced at Tempest with a slightly forced smile, before raising a brow in confusion, "...Tempest?" The Joltik in question was currently staring across the room at Zetsu, an unusually large grin on her face as she stared at him. The two other girls glanced at each other, before Cynthia smirked, "Well...It looks like someone is in a good mood now."

The Joltik deadpanned, "Make fun of Tempest and she shall destroy you with minimal effort."

The fox flinched at this, as Nazira smirked, "Well, looks like we know someone 'ya can' tease."

Nazira chuckled, "Sometimes 'dat bug is alright...Still takin' her out of 'dis game at some point, but she ain' 'da worst at least."

Zetsu huffed, "Yeah, I wasn't going to get pushed around too much today. The meatball thing was awful, but eating baked bugs right after?! No! I have my limits and that was pushing them! I don't care what happens next, as long as it doesn't have to do with my kind, then it's fine!"

He stood there in the confessional for a moment, before smiling slightly at a thought, "But wow...I can't believe that Tempest was staring at me like that...I wonder if she liked it? Of course she liked it, but...I wonder if she really liked it…" His face slowly became one of suggestion, before suddenly slapping himself, "Okay, I really shouldn't be having those kinds of thoughts...At least right now."

Doc rose a brow, "Honestly didn't take his threat that he'd burn the thing that seriously...Maybe I actually should start listening and not just assuming he won't do anything."

Cynthia stared at the camera, before sighing, "Well...I guess teasing Tempest is a big no, but on the bright side I can continue to tease Nazira."

The contestants awaited their next dish, as Amber cringed slightly at her cards, "Ew...Like...Seriously, this is beyond gross."

Doc gave her a look, "How is it that this is the first dish you're reacting negatively too?"

The Glaceon snapped her fingers, watching as the next dishes were set on the table in front of the contestants, "I present to you all...Wurmple spaghetti."

Zetsu deadpanned, "I am not going through this again."

Tempest nodded, "Tempest refuses food!"

Cynthia flinched, "And nobody is capable of forcing it down Tempest's throat...Nor does anyone want to do that."

Gareth nodded as he pointed to Zetsu, "S-Same with him...I don't want to be burnt to a crisp!"

The two teams simply stared at the food, not touching it once as Amber sighed, "Well...This is going to take forever."

Logan groaned, "Okay, I guess we can cut this one short. We'll just give the point to the boys so they don't fall behind."

Cynthia rose a brow, "Um...That doesn't sound very fair."

Amber gave her a look, "Either take it or try your luck force feeding Tempest."

The Ninetales blinked, before grumbling as she glanced away, "...Fine."

Soon after this, Logan whistled to Chef Tyson to bring out the next dish. The players stared down at an odd looking bowl of what looked to be soup. Amber read the card, "French Bunyan Soup…"

Gareth blinked as he placed a spoon in the soup, "...What's that?"

Doc gave the food a look, "And why are their toenail clippings in it?"

The hostess shuddered in disgust, before sighing, "Since this is tolerable on some level for everyone to eat...Good luck."

The boys glanced at the food, with Gareth poking at it with his spoon. After a moment, he shrugged, "It can't be that bad." He pulled up the spoon, blowing it slightly, before placing it in his mouth, before his face instantly turned white as he swallowed, letting out a pained croak, before falling to the floor, twitching for a moment, before pulling himself back up in his seat, "Wow...This soup is awful."

Zetsu blinked, before sighing as he gulped, "Bottoms up…" He lifted the spoon filled with the soup in his mouth, before gagging at the taste as he forcefully swallowed it.

As the boys were doing this, Cynthia pulled up her spoon, before flinching at the large patch of fur in it, "...Gross." Soon after, she noticed both of her teammates were having very little to no difficulty drinking the soup, as she glanced back down at her own bowl, "But...I have to do this." She gulped, before quickly drinking her soup.

Amber let out a whistle as she watched them all drink, "Wow...They're actually doing it...Much better than the last dishes."

Logan nodded, "Yeah, though to be fair, what we're comparing this to are pretty disgusting foods."

Suddenly Gareth slammed his bowl down with a weak grin, "We have finished our task!"

Zetsu nodded with his eye twitching slightly, "It was awful, but not as bad as the first dish…"

Doc shrugged, "I literally couldn't taste it, which might say more about my taste buds than anything else."

Amber blinked, before shrugging as she pointed at the boys, "It looks like the score is tied now!"

The girls groaned as the guys let out a small cheer, as Gareth put on some black shades, "We're gonna win this thing now!"

Doc gave him a look, "...Where did you even get those?"

The Luxio blinked, before shrugging with a grin, "Oh...Amber gave them to me a long time ago...I think during the slasher movie challenge."

Zetsu deadpanned, "It just shows she's even more biased to him...Buying him new glasses."

Amber rolled her eyes, "Untrue...Those used to be Logan's, so technically the glasses are vintage."

Cynthia sighed, "Why are we discussing sunglasses right now?"

The hostess let out a weak laugh, "R-Right...Onto the next dish!"

Gareth had the glasses on as he grinned, "I look cool in these! And maybe it'll give us good luck on the next dishes, so don't fail me now magical glasses!"

Nazira shrugged at the camera, "Kinda have 'ta agree with Doc; didn' even taste 'da stuff, which is pretty weird considerin' we've been able 'ta taste everythin' else. My best guess 'dere is 'dat 'dey simply didn' prepare 'dat one 'dat well."

Zetsu sighed, "It was bad, but compared to the last stuff I saw...This was basically a treat."

Tempest smirked at the camera, "That soup was quite gross and undercooked, but a warrior can handle anything you throw at them," she suddenly shivered, "...Except cannibalism...Tempest has limits!"

Amber gave the camera a look, "Listen I am a very fair person, so I don't have any favorites in this game...I was just being nice, so I gave him those glasses that I knew Logan wouldn't ever use again."

The players watched as the next dish was brought to them, before they all cringed at the sight in front of them. It was simply a large wad of pre-chewed gum with various hairs and toenail clippings in it, a fair bit of saliva all over it as well, as Amber shuddered, "Well...It's self explanatory...A gumball."

Cynthia's eye twitched slightly, "...Do you know how hard it is to swallow gum?"

Nazira gave the hostess a glare, "And did nobody tell 'ya 'bout 'da sick stuff 'dat can happen 'ta 'ya mouth from eating chewed up gum?"

The hostess gave them a look, "And do I look like someone who came up with this...Disgusting idea? You'll just have to deal with it."

Gareth rose a hand, "Can we at least know who chewed it?"

Amber shrugged, "I don't know...The chef? Maybe the producers, interns, losers...I don't know, but I do know that someone chewed it."

Zetsu groaned, as he stared at the ball, "...This is so wrong on so many levels…"

The Luxio next to him nodded, "...Yeah...But I kinda want to know if Violet chewed it or not…" He blinked at the weird looks he was getting, "What? Then again I don't think she likes gum…"

Doc blinked, before deadpanning, "I...I think you have some serious issues man."

At the other table, Cynthia flinched as she pulled out a tooth from her gumball, "...Eww…"

Nazira was staring at the gumball, before shivering, "God...How did 'dis even get approved for a challenge on a game show? 'Ya would 'dink 'da authorities or 'da health committee would step in at some point."

She nodded with a look of disgust, "I...I honestly don't even want to touch this."

The ghost glanced at Tempest, "Yo, little warrior, 'ya wanna take 'dis 'ding on?"

The spider slowly shook her head, "It's...Covered in saliva...If it touches Tempest, could drown her. Prefer not dying through those means."

Cynthia sighed as she pushed her plate away, "I won't even say anything bad about that Tempest, we all have our limits and this one is ours…We'll get our point back next time."

Zetsu watched from across, before he whimpered, "Oh god...The girls aren't going to do it, so that means…"

Doc groaned, "It means one of us three has to eat it or else we're gonna be here all day just waiting."

The Larvesta sighed, "Well...If it has to be done…" He turned to Gareth, "...You're up, dude."

The ghost nodded, "Yeah, unlike me and Zetsu, you're probably childish enough to have actually eaten gum in your life."

Gareth blinked, "...I feel like you guys said something mean right there…"

"Yes, they did. They basically belittled your intelligence as a whole, which I can't blame them for."

The Luxio blinked, before frowning softly as he stared at the two with a hurt expression, "...You guys are calling me stupid?"

Zetsu sighed, "Gareth...Please, just...Just eat the thing."

He narrowed his eyes, before crossing his arms as he turned away from them, "No! Not until you apologize to me...And mean it!"

Doc glanced at Zetsu, before shrugging, "Okay then, sorry Gareth-"

The lion growled at him, "I said you had to mean it! You don't care the slightest about what you said to me...You're both meanies!"

Zetsu gave the Luxio a slightly concerned look, "Gareth...Are you okay? Like...Literally, you hear stuff like this all the time, but you're barely reacting now…"

Gareth blinked, "...Wait...Other people say stuff like that? Everyone thinks I'm...I'm dumb?"

Doc nodded, "Yep." Zetsu gave him a look, "What, it's true on some level. I like Gareth and all, but he isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer."

As the lion looked down in sadness, Zetsu sighed, "Gareth...It's fine if you're not as bright as everyone else is...Really, you're...You're likable in your own unique way."

The Spiritomb smirked, "And by that he means you're basically the nicest person left at camp."

Gareth glanced up at them with an uneasy look, "...R-Really?"

The Larvesta nodded, "Yeah, and you know what nice people do? They take one for the team, so…" He slowly pushed the gumball towards him.

He stared down at the wad of gum, before smiling softly, "Gee guys...Thanks! I'll show you two that I deserve to be the nicest person here!" He picked up the gum, before plopping the entire thing in his mouth, chewing it with a disturbed look.

The other players and hosts cringed at him, as Cynthia whispered, "He actually did it…"

Doc and Zetsu watched on in slight horror, before the former whispered, "Did we just manipulate basically a kid into eating a giant ball of potential disease?"

The Larvesta whispered back, "W-Well...Technically he didn't swallow-" He stopped himself when the lion swallowed it all, "...We are horrible people."

Amber made a face, before gesturing towards the boys, "It looks like the boys win this one since the girls refuse to eat...And Gareth, you can maybe get checked by the nurse if you'd like…"

Gareth blinked, "...Why would I need to do that-" He suddenly let out a cough, before coughing up a small ball of fur, "Oh...Eww...hairball."

Doc stared at the camera for a moment, before sighing, "Yeah...Even I have to admit that I was too much of a jerk there. Should not have basically manipulated the guy into doing that." He sighed, before smiling, "Well, on the bright side, already dead, so I can't go to hell."

Zetsu stared at the camera in shock, "I can't believe I manipulated the poor guy into eating that...I'm a horrible monster...Oh god, why would I do that just for a stupid point in a stupid game? If he suddenly collapses on the table dead it'll be on my hands...Then I'll get taken away, then I'll forever be stuck in a prison cell! I will never have a future! I'll never see Tempest again! Oh my god I would be a murderer!"

Gareth was picking his teeth with a toothpick, before sighing as he suddenly looked down, "...I'm still upset about what they said to me…"

"Oh boo hoo, they're jerks, who cares. Get used to it, society is full of them. Either way, you need to keep that head of yours in the game and make sure we don't lose this challenge."

He blinked, "Um...Is this your weird way of trying to make me feel better?"

"Take it however you want, I don't care."

Gareth shrugged with a grin, "Alright! I'm going to win this challenge! Wooh!"

The contestants were awaiting their next dish, as the chef brought them each glasses of a yellowish substance. The players flinched at the smell as Amber read out, "Skuntank juice...I don't think I need to explain this one."

Doc stared at the glass, before saying, "How did you even do this?!"

The Glaceon shrugged, "Eh...Our chef is very mysterious in the kitchen."

Nazira stared at the drink, before nudging Cynthia, "So...How do we down 'dis exactly without pukin' up our lunch."

The fox stared at it in shock, before whispering, "I don't even know, but if I can drink everything from the chef's fridge blended into one drink...Then I can drink this…" The fox let out a breath, as she slowly took a sip...Only for her eyes to bulge open, spitting the drink across the room and right into Zetsu's face, causing the Larvesta to scream.

Tempest's eyes widened as she gasped, before growling at the Ninetales, "You assaulted Tempest's fire knight! You will pay!"

Cynthia flinched, before groaning as she placed a hand over her mouth, "I don't even think it's possible to swallow that!" She gave the Larvesta a weak grin, "S-Sorry Zetsu!"

Zetsu let out another scream as he held his hands over his eyes, running around the room, "My eyes! They burn!"

The Ninetales let out a small sheepish laugh, "Well, um...You-" As she said this, she was suddenly tackled to the ground by Tempest, who began to attack the fox relentlessly, the fox letting out a scream, "Someone get her off of me!"

On the boy's side, Doc smirked, "...I have never been happier to be Tempest's sorta friend."

Zetsu continued to scream as he ran around, before smacking right into the wall with a groan, "Oh god...I think I'm blind! Or dead!"

Cynthia let out another scream, "I'll be dead soon if someone doesn't help me!"

Gareth grinned as he stood up, "I will save you!" He ran over to the two, flinching at the sight, before slowly moving his paws towards Tempest, "N-Now...C-Come on and stop-" The spider suddenly jumped on his face, "...I'm going to get injured really bad now…"

As the lion in question began to scream as well, Doc and Nazira simply watched the carnage while nonchalantly drinking their disgusting beverages. The former soon said, "So, how is it working with the rudest fox I've ever met."

The Mismagius shrugged, "Good; how's workin' with 'da king of panic attacks."

He smiled, "Eh, usually full of screaming and him getting hurt, but hey, he's decent company."

The ghost nodded, "Cool, same way I feel towards Cynthia."

The Spiritomb smirked, "Was that before or after you two made out?"

Nazira rolled her eyes, "Oh hah hah," she noticed she had finished the drink, with Doc soon finishing, as both placed their cups upside down in order to signify they were done.

Amber watched in shock, before shaking her head, "Wow...How did this happen? How did a simple challenge such as drinking a disgusting drink...Turn into complete chaos?"

Zetsu groaned from his spot, "Ugh...I think I can see the light…"

Doc rolled his eyes, as he said, "You want me to pour this skunk juice down your throat or are you gonna stop being dramatic. That's supposed to be my job."

The fire bug shuddered, "P-Please don't…"

Cynthia growled as she pulled herself up to the table, letting out a sigh, "...I was not expecting that to happen...Thanks for saving me by the way, Nazira."

The Mismagius smirked at her, "Sorry girl, was a bit 'ta busy doin' 'da challenge."

Gareth screamed as he ran around the room in circles, "Someone please get her off! I feel like she's scratching the flesh off of my face!" As he said this, his entire body was suddenly frozen in place, as he let out a shaky sigh of relief, "T-Thanks Amber!"

As the hostess gave him a small wink, Cynthia looked down at her drink, before groaning as she placed a paw over her nose, "...Bottoms up." She lifted the the drink to her lips, chugging it down quickly, before slamming the empty glass down with a pained growl, "...Done."

Amber nodded at her, "Since the girls drank more than the guys...They earn a point!"

As Cynthia let out a sigh of relief, the guys let out a groan...Before Gareth coughed, "Um...Can I get out of this thing now?"

Tempest growled, "Nobody hurts Tempest's fire knight! He is too precious to Tempest!" She let out a huff, a small blush having formed on her face.

Cynthia flinched as she poked one of her many cuts, before sighing, "I didn't do that on purpose...It was a complete accident. I really need to be more careful from now on."

Nazira smiled, "Like I said a few days ago, me and Doc play cards togetha' at night, so we're pretty chill despite us tryin' 'ta get eachotha' eliminated and all. Dude can be pretty nice when 'ya ain' named 'Cynthia'."

The players were once again seated in their seats, watching as the chef brought in the next dish. It was a medium sized bowl with a dark green colored soup that had garbage in it. Amber looked at her cards, "...Trash soup...Literally it's soup with trash in it."

The cast stared at the large bowls not sitting in front of them, before Doc chuckled, "Huh...I feel like by this point they're more running out of ideas that anything."

Zetsu nodded, "Yeah...This is basically what we get for dinner...Except this trash is much larger." He gave the hosts a look as he picked up a half eaten shoe, "...Who even wears these things?"

Gareth took a sip of the soup, licking his lips, before nodding, "Yep...This is awful."

Nazira began to drink the soup with ease, not even reacting to the foul taste. After a moment, she put it down, before shrugging, "We've had worse today alone."

Cynthia sighed, taking a sip of her own soup, before raising a brow, "...I don't taste anything...I actually think the skuntank juice took away my taste buds." She shrugged, before beginning to drink more of the soup.

Amber smiled at them, "This is adorable...You're all bonding over trash filled soup."

Doc glanced at her, "I'm sorry, who are you talking to? Because none of us were talking to you."

The hostess gave him a look, "...Nevermind, you're all still bratty teenage jerks...Except for you, Gareth."

He smirked, "That's better, we can back to our regularly scheduled horrendous treatment now without any diversions in personality."

Zetsu gave him a look, "Come on dude, we have to hurry...The girls are actually drinking this stuff at a fast pace."

The Spiritomb blinked, before shrugging as he continued to drink it. As time went on, the girls suddenly pushed their bowls to the side, as Cynthia smirked, "All done."

Zetsu sighed, "Yeah, well we're all done to- Gareth!"

The Luxio was currently creating bubbles in the soup as he blew into it with a bendy straw, before blinking, "...What? My mom always told me that if I didn't like the food then I can just starve or play with it."

Doc and Zetsu stared at the lion in shock, before a voice echoed in Gareth's head, "...Are you an idiot?! The entire goal of this challenge is to finish the food no matter what, you dolt!"

He blinked, before humming, "Oh...Oops...I forgot."

Amber stared at the lion in confusion, before shrugging, "Besides Gareth suddenly talking to himself...Girls earn another point!"

The girls cheered while the guys groaned.

Tempest smirked, "What a stupid lion! He completely failed to devour the foods in front of him like a total ork!"

Doc groaned, "...Okay, if it hasn't been obvious this entire time, if we lose, we plan on voting Gareth off. Simple as that."

Cynthia poked her tongue, before shuddering, "Still a bad taste in my mouth, but at least the challenge should be slightly easier for me now...Just slightly."

The players watched as the next dish was presented to them, surprisingly it was just a basic hot dog served on a bun, as Zetsu blinked, "...Please tell me this isn't what I think it is…"

Amber gave him a look, "...Gorebyss hot dogs...Ew, what did you think we would bring in?!"

The Larvesta deadpanned, "Considering the past dishes...The first one in particular...I wouldn't put it past you."

Nazira stared at the hot dog, before shrugging and beginning to dig in. Her and Tempest were quick to begin eating it, before she glanced at Cynthia, "Yo, how come 'ya haven' started eatin'?"

The fox flinched slightly, "It's unsettling...I know someone who's a Gorebyss...And I don't know if I can eat this without thinking of her."

The ghost gave her a look, "...'Ya are kiddin', right?"

On the guy's side, they were having basically no difficulty eating the food, as Gareth swallowed some of his hot dog, "Can someone pass me the ketchup?"

Zetsu deadpanned, "We don't have any."

He blinked, "Oh...Okay." He took another bite with a small smile.

The larva stared at him, before shaking his head as he took a bite out of his food, before glancing at Doc, "This...This one actually doesn't taste too bad."

The ghost nodded, "Yeah, in fact...It almost tastes edible."

As he said that, a loud burp was heard from Gareth, before he blinked with a smile, "All done!" He looked to the other two, before pointing at their food, "...You guys gonna finish that?"

Zetsu stared at the lion, before sighing, "...We've won this one."

Doc finished off the last of his hot dog, before nodding, "Yeah, no reason to keep this one going."

Amber smiled at the guys, "And the boys win this round, so that means...We're all tied up!"

Cynthia groaned, before glancing up at her, "So the next one determines everything?"

She nodded, "Yes, and since it'll basically be the last one and due to the...Dish, we'll have one member of each team come up to do the challenge instead of the entire team as a whole."

The players glanced at each other, before Zetsu cleared his throat, "Do we get to choose who goes?"

Logan shrugged, "Eh, we don't care. Just choose whoever and send them up."

Doc and Zetsu glanced at one another, before turning to Gareth, who rose a brow, "Why are you guys looking at me?"

Zetsu deadpanned, "You basically lost us the trashy soup part of the challenge, plus you're a nice guy...Nice guys volunteer."

The lion tilted his head in confusion, "By saying that you make it seem like you two aren't nice."

Doc smirked, "I mean, I'm not. Easily the biggest jerk left."

The Larvesta sighed, "Just do it...If you do it and win, then that means you can't get voted off, which means you'll be closer to possibly winning this."

Gareth gave them both a skeptical look, before shrugging with a smile, "Okay! I will do this and I will win this!"

Among the girls, Nazira quickly said, "Okay, so I don' 'dink I'll be a great candidate due to bein' a ghost, and besides 'dat, 'dey probably won' let me participate unless Doc did as well since it'd be unfair. And Tempest...Well she's small and easily aggravated, and if 'dey chose Zetsu, 'den 'dey would more likely jus' flirt."

Cynthia gulped, before letting out a breath as a look of determination was set on her face, "Then it has to be me...I'll win us the last point."

Nazira gave her a smile, "I know 'ya will, now good luck out 'dere."

She gave her a small nod with a smile of her own, "I won't let you down...None of you."

Cynthia sighed, "My fate rests on how well I do this challenge...I'm at a clear disadvantage if I lose and I will be going home due to the numbers against me, but...If I win then Doc can go home…"

She smirked, "This challenge determines who stays and who goes."

Gareth blinked, "...Why do I feel like they're tricking me into doing these things?"

He shrugged with a smile, "Nah...They wouldn't do that to me! I'm totally going to win this thing for the guys! Wooh!"

"...Actually they did trick you into taking this challenge because they didn't want to eat more disgusting food."

The lion looked at the camera in shock, before groaning as he facepalmed, "Those guys really are meanies…"

Cynthia and Gareth stood next to each other, looking down at the table in front of them, before a tray of multiple small shot glasses were set in front of them. Inside the glasses there was a brown liquid with various chunks inside, as Cynthia made a face, "...What is this?"

Amber looked down at her card, before ripping it completely, "Crushed bug shots...Basically blended bugs of different species all poured into those shot glasses. The player who drinks the most wins invincibility and that amazing trip, while the loser...It's kind of obvious what'll happen."

Zetsu's eye twitched slightly, before groaning, "What is with you people and serving bugs to us?!"

The hostess shrugged, "Out of my control, but anyways...You two may begin."

As she said this, the two players looked uneasy, before Gareth took one of the shot glasses, quickly drinking it down, before making a face as he shuddered, "Oh god that was…" He let out a cough, before patting his chest to keep the substance down.

Cynthia let out a deep breath, before picking up a glass of her own, taking a quick drink, before hissing slightly from the taste, "And my taste buds are officially back…And not in a good way."

As the two drank from the glasses, Zetsu shuddered as he covered his eyes, "...I can't watch this...This is so wrong on so many levels!" Soon after he said this though, he felt something moving around in his fur, causing him to raise a brow.

After a moment, Tempest popped out of his fur with a scared expression, "T-Tempest...Doesn't want to watch this...Prefer being near Zetsu and hiding away for now…"

The Larvesta nodded slowly, keeping his eyes covered as he whispered, "I wish I could hide right now…"

Soon enough there were only five shots left, as Cynthia twitched, taking one of the glasses and drinking it, twitching once more as she gripped the table with one of her paws, "This shouldn't be legal…"

Gareth's eyes were wide, before he mindlessly took a glass, drinking it quickly, before repeating with the others, eventually taking the last one, staring at it for a moment, before finishing it, raising it up with a disturbed look, before falling down with a thud. The players stared at the two, before Amber sighed, "As happy as I am for Gareth...I was hoping the girls would win...Anyways, guys win...Hooray."

Zetsu deadpanned, "Oh wow, thanks for being so supportive."

She glared at him, "You don't want to know what happens to me after losing this bet…" Logan smirked at her, as she turned to the girls with an annoyed look, "Anyways, one of you three will be leaving, so...Good luck."

Cynthia was looking down, before turning to see a smirking Doc, who chuckled at her, "Bye Cynthia~"

The Ninetales gave him a weak glare, before groaning, "Ugh...I'm too sick to even come up with a proper comeback..."

Cynthia sighed to herself, before looking at the camera with a look of disappointment on her face, "I failed to win this challenge for my team...I assured them I would win, but I didn't...And now our team lost because I refused to eat a dish and I wasn't quick enough on the final one…"

She sighed, before rubbing her head, "...Maybe it's for the best. I was losing control of myself due to the challenge, but I still regret giving Doc the satisfaction of seeing me lose and leave first...Ugh."

Cynthia and Nazira were currently staring out at the ocean, both having already casted their votes. They had already seen the bugs and Gareth pass by, all three of which refusing to make eye contact with Cynthia, and Doc's vote had been made clear enough. The fox sighed, "Well...Looks like this is goodbye for now."

Nazira nodded with a somewhat crestfallen look, "...'Ya know, comin' inta' 'dis game, I already knew 'dat along 'da way I'd be losin' some friends, but...I neva' thought it'd be 'dis hard. Outside of Ned, I don' 'dink I've ever been 'dis broken up 'bout havin' 'ta see someone go."

Cynthia gave her a weak smile, "Hey...It's okay. I mean, sure I wanted nothing more than to win, and to see Doc leave before me, but...I think this is actually for the best." She suddenly gave her a more genuine smile, "And honestly, I think seeing you win this game would be more satisfying than me winning myself."

The ghost returned the smile, "...Still, I'm gonna miss 'ya. 'Ya were a good friend 'ta me, and regardless of 'ya awful family, do be expectin' me 'ta show up from time 'ta time afta' 'da game."

The Ninetales giggled softly, "I'll be waiting for you, and don't forget I still owe you and the boys pizza after this."

She smirked, "Oh I won'." She suddenly got up, before beginning to float off, glancing back at her, "'Ya comin'?"

The fox stared at her, before shaking her head as she looked back at the ocean, "In a minute...I just want to take in the scenery before leaving."

The Mismagius stared at her for a moment, before smiling, "Okay 'den...Seeya at elimination 'den, Cyn."

The ghost floated off, only for another ghost to fly out of the confessional at the same time, whistling to himself as he floated by. However, he suddenly came to a stop upon noticing Cynthia. Smirking to himself, he floated over to her, "Well, guess I won this little rivalry of ours." After getting no response, he rose a brow, "What, no snarky comeback? No insult towards my intelligence? Not even a claim that I'm a psychopath?"

Cynthia continued to stare at the water in silence, before turning to him with a sigh, "I don't really see a point in it right now...It's obvious that you won, and I can admit defeat when I see it."

Blinking to himself, he said, "...Huh...That's...Honestly wasn't expecting that. Kinda thought that you'd be mad while leaving or something."

She shook her head, "No...I'm upset, but I'm not mad about it. You played a good game Doc, and if anything, at least I can respect you for that."

Staring at her, Doc glanced off to the side, before sighing, "...Look, kinda late on this, but...I'm sorry for escalating our rivalry after you took Mimi out. I guess I just let my emotions get to me, and you didn't deserve to basically get harassed over it."

The fox blinked in shock at his words, before her expression softened slightly, "It's fine, Doc...I won't hold anything against you, and honestly...I was letting the game get to me completely, and it wasn't right of me to act so rude towards you and the others...Good luck."

The Spiritomb suddenly floated down next to her, basically sitting down, as he said, "...Remember back during the pairs challenge, when I told you I knew who you were before the game."

Cynthia rose a brow, "...Yes, but why bring that up now?"

He sighed, "...I was wrong about you is what I'm saying. I thought that just because you were associated with a certain type of people, you must have been just as bad...But I was wrong." He gave her a slight smile, "Honestly, you aren't that bad of a person."

The Ninetales stared at him for a moment, before giving him a smile, "Thank you, Doc...Even though I called you some nasty names...You aren't that bad either. I hope this can be a fresh new start for the both of us now."

The ghost nodded, "...Don't regret voting you off though. Huge threat."

Cynthia giggled softly, "I won't regret watching Nazira get further than you, but regardless...Good luck in this thing."

He smiled, "Yeah, and good luck with...I don't know, making out with the Machoke," he smirked, "Or is it Nazira now after last time?"

She blushed brightly, before giving him a forced smile, "You're just so good at ruining a perfect mood, aren't you?"

Doc snickered, "What can I say, it's what I'm the best at."

The players were sitting in front of Amber as usual, as the hostess tossed three marshmallows to the guys, before looking at the girls, "Now...I only have two marshmallows, three girls...One of you will be- Hey! Where are you going?!"

Cynthia had already stood up, walking towards the dock, before looking back at her with a smile, "Oh, I already know it's me, and frankly I don't feel like wasting anyone's time with an un-suspenseful elimination...I'd actually prefer to leave now."

Logan blinked, before shrugging, "I mean, you aren't wrong."

Amber shrugged, before throwing the tray away, "Okay...Well, goodbye Cynthia, you had a good run and honestly...I think you had perfect finalist material in you...A shame you have to leave."

The Ninetales shrugged, "Thanks for that, but it's fine...I think I would rather watch my friend go through tortuous challenges from a comfortable couch…" She smiled over at Nazira, "I'm going to miss you, but good luck, even if you don't need it."

The Mismagius nodded, "Seeya girl, and don' worry, I'm takin' home 'da prize whetha' 'dese guys like it or not."

Doc smiled, "Just to be clear, we don't."

The fox nodded at Doc, "Good luck to you too, and I know you'll need it." She turned to Zetsu with a small smirk, "And you...Try not to get blown up, and be safe around Tempest."

The Larvesta instantly blushed, "Y-You know about that?!" He blinked at some of the strange looks he received, before sighing, "...N-Nevermind."

Cynthia rose a brow at him, before looking over at Tempest, "...I know you don't need luck, and I know you don't like me very much, but...Have fun competing."

The spider gave her an uncaring look, "...You were somewhat of a worthy opponent...Now buzz off! Tempest still hasn't forgiven you for hurting my fire knight, so if don't leave soon, she shall bring the pain!"

She flinched slightly, before turning to Gareth, "Gareth...I owe you an apology for what I said about Violet, and I want you to know that you're a good underdog, and you're the last one here with a bright smile, so please don't lose it."

Gareth blinked in surprise, before his eyes started to suddenly water as he gave her a watery smile, before jumping on her, giving her a hug, "You really are nice! Apology accepted, Cynthia! I will miss you!"

The Ninetales let out a small chuckle, patting his head, before moving away from him, walking down the dock, before giving everyone one last look, "Goodbye now, good luck and best wishes. I hope to see you all soon."

The five remaining players watched as the boat left, some of them giving her a wave goodbye, before Zetsu turned to the hosts, "So...We get a treat for winning too?"

Doc and Zetsu were now on a large cruise ship, relaxing in their new environment, and enjoying the very things they hadn't experienced in a long time. Zetsu was currently sipping on a cherry smoothie while Doc laid against a chair next to him. After a moment, the Larvesta let out a happy sigh, "For once...I can actually relax and enjoy myself without any stress of any kind."

Doc smirked at him, "You mean besides your little stowaway?"

The bug blushed, before shushing him, "D-Don't say that out loud...Wait until we're further away from the island."

As he said this, a certain Joltik popped out of his fur, "Is coast clear yet?"

Zetsu quickly shook his head, "Wait five more minutes, then you can come out."

She gave him a thumbs-up, as Doc smirked at him, "You sly dog. I'm surprised you even tried that."

He shrugged, before taking another sip of his smoothie, "What can I say...I actually grew a major confidence boost on that island, and besides after the challenges they put us through...I don't think they can give a proper punishment if they found out."

The ghost nodded, "Besides, Nazira stowed away too, so looks like we're all getting a bit of a vacation from that crappy camp."

The Larvesta shrugged, "Well we all deserve it...We made it to the final five, and after the disgusting foods we had to consume...Yeah…"

Doc rose a brow, "Speaking of consuming disgusting foods...Where's Gareth at?"

Zetsu blinked, before humming, "...I don't know...Knowing him he's probably just checking out some games or something...Or maybe he's smart enough to get checked by the clinic."

The Luxio in question was currently lying in one of the many beds on the ship, about to doze off to sleep. However, one final thing crept into his mind, which he was just barely unable to hear.

"...Rest well for now, Gareth...Because soon enough, things are gonna start changing…I will have my life back...And you aren't gonna take it from me again."

Cynthia stared at the camera with a small sigh, "...No point in trying, I know I'm beat, so...May as well vote for myself."

Doc smirked, "Bye Cynthia, I would say I'll miss you, but even I'm not that much of a liar."

Gareth frowned, "Cynthia, because I can't vote for the guys for being mean, but I can vote for her since she said awful things about Violet in the past…"

Nazira groaned, "Well, I already know my girl is 'da one who's goin', but I'll stay loyal and vote for Tempest."

Tempest cackled, "This is what you get for hurting my fire knight!"

Zetsu sighed, "Well, looks like Cynthia is finally going to leave now...Bye."

Vote Count :

Cynthia: Five votes. (Cynthia, Doc, Gareth, Tempest, Zetsu)

Tempest: One vote. (Nazira)

Contestants- Doc, Gareth, Nazira, Tempest, Zetsu

And with that...We have reached the final five!

Delta: And surprisingly we say goodbye to Cynthia...Like, really surprising since...Wow...I miss her already!

In my eyes, Cynthia's story is one of mostly tragedy. Like seriously, nothing went her way the entire story, and in the end, she was unceremoniously and quite depressingly kicked out, accepting defeat in her last moments after an entire season of defeat. She was a seriously strategic and incredibly intelligent girl, one who could have and most likely would have dominated due to basically having every attribute of a winner down, but in the end, she was screwed over by the simplest thing...Simply terrible luck. During her time in the game, she faced several humiliating defeats as her team's leader, ended up getting emotionally torn to shreds due to Quincy's message sticking with her throughout the entire game, was rejected by her crush, formed a rivalry that went too far on both ends, indirectly emotionally hurt one of her closest friends by making them vote their friends off, and now, she was kicked off despite her greatest efforts, and in the end, was unable to do what Quincy asked of her, and allowed the game to get to her. In the end though, she still left with her head held high, and with some friends along the way. Cynthia's story was a sad one, but at the same time, I say it was easily one of the best of the season.

Delta: Poor Cynthia, like honestly I was feeling very sad after seeing her leave, but...She did her best despite everything that happened to her...We'll miss you, Cynthia.

But regardless, we say goodbye to you our sweet Yakuza princess, and now look towards the future, where the final five remained.
