Day 29

Caution: Be prepared for a weird set of events ahead!

I got up at 6 AM and it's obvious that I have to get used to get up this early until the end of the season. When I got to the chapel, Greg and Michael were already up and then he told me to ring the bell as hard as I can! As soon as I had enough time ringing that bell, Olivia and Anjay came and meet us. But when we got inside the chapel, the producers fooled us, there wasn't a journal entry for today, as we all thought. Instead the journal said "Wait for a few days!"

I was shocked, "come on, what's the point of having the journal when there is nothing to do!"

Then all in a sudden, Greg, thought of an idea, "how about getting everyone in the saloon, and played a game when if you disrespected someone, we have to start it all over again." I responded, "Wait a second, that's going to be a bad idea, trust me!" Michael and the rest of the council did agree with my opinion.

When I was walking around the town, the talk was obviously Greg on Council, and I overheard Sophia saying that "they are very worried that the town will be dead before the end of the season because of this."

After lunch time, Greg rang the bell again and told everyone to meet him in the saloon for an important announcement. I was like "Oh crap, what is he going to do now?"

We would be forced to do the respect game because of Greg being a Jerk, it took us 90 minutes to finally get through all of us without someone messing it up. And then Greg said, "If you name is called, that means you can't participate in the showdown later this afternoon! And then he said many and I mean many names, Migle, Natasha, Kelsey, Jared, Olivia, Michael, Laurel, Anjay, Eric, Colton, Leila, Markelle, Hunter, Eric, Mike, Morgan and Myself. That's 17 people that got banned from this challenge because some of them were talking in the middle, or asking to go to the bathroom in my case, or otherwise not paying 100% attention to the whole thing!

When we went to the showdown, right away, Greg said the list of 17 people that would not participate in the showdown due to violation of rules during the respect game. The host said, "wait a second, if four council members are banned, then why can't you be banned then?" Then the rest of the town demanded Greg to be banned from this challenge as well. Eventually, the host, said "Greg will be banned from this challenge as well, meaning that all 5 teams will have to select one person to be the designated council leader just for this challenge, but before you do that, we must explain this challenge. It's basically you need 6 total people to participate in this challenge but since 16 people got banned from this challenge, we would need to make changes in the challenge itself, so you guys back to your bunks and see you in the nighttime for the challenge itself.

After eating dinner the host finally rang the bell for the challenge which took place at 8:30 in the night, without any artificial light to help us, making this challenge the first and maybe only time it takes place in the night time!

The host finally explained the challenge itself, basically you will need one person to get the pies and the second person will receive the pie from one platform and while standing on the balance beam walk across it while trying to prevent the pie from falling off the pie holder. When you are successful to get 6 pies across, the third person, will have to figure out what's the correct order of the 6 inventions of communication, from the oldest to the newest. But, you will only have 45 minutes for all of the teams to get the order correct, in order to get the reward. So time is of the essence!

So, each team will have to choose who will try to solve the puzzle.

After each team chooses their person that will solve the puzzle. The host said, "GO!"

And then the whole council had to watch from the sidelines plus the other people that got banned as well.

Early on, it seemed that the Blue team had the initial advantage because they have four people that are eligible to participate, But then Again, Alex, DK, Zach, Guylan, and Maggie were trying to figure out which invention came out when.

It seemed like an eternity until someone finally got all 6 pies across the balance beam successfully, but it was Blue team that did that feat first, now Zach just had to figure out the correct order. Eventually, the blue team got upper class, but it was highly unlikely that we could get the reward. As time ran out, the Orange team finished as bankers and green district finished as merchants. But the Yellow and Red teams didn't finish the puzzle in time. But since the Yellow team got their final pie across earlier, the yellow team was the cooks but the red team had to settle for last place. We didn't get the reward again, which was a choice of . . . Letters from home or the ponies.

Everyone was pissed off at Greg afterwards and most if not all of them promised that Greg must get kicked off council or else they will protest until successful. Now us, the council is in a pickle, do we let Greg off the council, or risk further ramifications from the town?
