The next three days passed somewhat peacefully except for the group's imagination that ran wilder. "Dead bodies" started appearing under the beds, resolving to nightly checks before getting in the bed. "People with no heads" terrorized the bathroom, resulting to Daniel refusing to shower until he got offended and did shower after hearing the conversation between Tess and Isabel:
Isabel: What's that smell?
Tess : The rotten rubbish?
Isabel: No, it's smells…rotten.
Tess : Oh, that must be our friend, Daniel. He beats the rubbish.
"Lady Michele's veins" started to take over the food. Michael finally confiscated all the frozen meat with veins and they all went vegetarian until they made a pact not to start screaming at nothing.
Watching the TV became history when Kyle unplugged it and pulled out the cord. Brenda had started seeing amputated arms and legs floating in the air at night and Kyle deduced it was from the "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" which was screened late at night.
Everyone had started sleeping with their lights on and soon, the bulbs burned out. Mr. Duncan refused to supply them new bulbs and now, only the Alien Clan and their human friends had light bulbs thanks to the useful hand of Max who fixed the bulbs with a wave of his hand.
That, resulted in Daniel, John and Brenda wanting to share the rooms with them and finally Max had faked up a "Electric Master Degree" and claimed that he could fix their burned light bulbs. Obviously his E.M.D. worked and the rest were spared the 3 Bears.
John had tossed out the "Do-it-yourself" book into the rubbish bin, of course painstakingly copying some of the "recipes" before claiming that it was perhaps Lady Michele's favorite book. However, after Tess had told him Lady Michele would come and haunt him for throwing out her favorite book, John had immediately waded in the rubbish bin and retrieved the book.
Everyone refused to sleep by her/himself and it was an unwritten rule that everybody's bedtime was the same. No one dared to creep up the ladder alone and the midnight visits to the bathroom were fewer.
Michael's bladder decided however that it couldn't wait till morning and being the bravest, went up to the third floor himself, palm held out.
That move was not smart when Liz had screamed her head off thinking Michael was Lady Michele coming to strangle her. Obviously Maria's fears had gotten to her and both were as paranoid.
This scare routine got worse and worse until Maria had wanted to quit.
Max had said, "The way we are going, when this challenge is over, we could get together and write a horror movie that could outdo the "X-files."
Since Maria wanted to leave, so did Liz. Liz was followed by Max, Tess behind, Kyle and Alex. Isabel and Michael had huffed. "Look at the people who earnestly decided to accept this challenge."
That, apparently offended Maria so much that she indignantly whipped up a bet with Michael that she would stay the whole week. The Chain followed her and everyone stayed.
After the 3 days, Brenda and Daniel promptly quit, leaving the eight conveniently together and John McCauley.
Maria said, "We kick out McCauley, then we are safe."
"Why?" asked Kyle.
"Cause if he's out, one of us has to win. And the five thousand bucks are ours!"
That was not to be because McCauley suddenly became Superman the Brave and explored the whole house, scoring points as the cameras picked him out.
"Just one more day to triumph," said Liz.
