I don't own TS. I replaced my 3rd fanfic with this one because no one even bothered to review my other one, so, please relax, read and review. This is a resource to the game show, "Dog Eat Dog." (with host Brooke Burns.)
A/n: Whoever's name I mention first, whether it is me, Sam or whoever, is standing in that order in the studio when I get there. And I don't know what shape the thing for the out on a limb is so you can either tell me in your review or I can just keep on watching and find out.
(Thanks capm for reviewing my 1st chapter. Please everyone out there: review with enthusiasm.)

"Welcome back." Brooke stated, then added, "It's time to find out who is going to go 'out on a limb.'" Mathew, who did you vote for?"
"I chose Arnold." I stated. My handwriting of Arnold's name appeared under my name.
"Interesting." Brooke said. She then turned to Sam and asked her, "Sam, who did you choose?"
"Arnold." Sam said. Her handwriting of Arnold's name appeared under her name.
"Uh-oh. Clover?" Brooke said, looking a little nervous.
"I voted for Arnold, too." Clover said. Clover's handwriting of Arnold's name appeared under her name.
"Alex, you?" Brooke asked, turning to Alex.
"This will surprise you. I voted for Clover." Alex said crossing her arms. Her handwriting of Clover's name appeared under her name.
"Alex, you." Clover snapped.
"My what?" Alex quipped.
"Arnold, it doesn't really matter anyway, but who did you vote for?" Brooke asked in curiosity.
"I voted for Clover." Arnold stated. His handwriting of Clover's name appeared under his name.
"3 votes for Arnold, 2 votes for Clover. But with 3 votes, Arnold has to take on the challenge. Let's find out why. Mathew, why Arnold?" Brooke asked.
"Well, Brooke, yesterday at training camp, he didn't do very well when it came to physical challenges and I know he's gonna have a hard time with this one." I stated.
"Okay. Sam, what about you?" Brooke asked, turning to her.
"Well, Brooke, once again, I have to agree with Mathew 100%." Sam stated.
"Well, Arnold, please come with me as you have to go 'out on a limb.'" Brooke announced.
Arnold came out of contestants' row and walked down with Brooke to the where the next challenge took place.
A few minutes later, Arnold was inside the cylinder. He was wearing a black harness over his clothes that Brooke's staff had put on him so he wouldn't fall outside of the cylinder.
"All right, Arnold. What you need to do is get all 8 flags starting with the blue flags, then go after the red flags. If you do it in time, you get to send either Mathew, Sam, Clover, or Alex to the dog pound in your place, but if you fail, you're off to join Mandy in the dog pound." Brooke explained.
The camera focused on Mandy, who had changed her clothes during the commercial break.
"Arnold are you ready. The cylinder won't spin until I say go. You have to do this in less than 3 minutes. Are you ready?" Brooke announced.
The "cylinder" looked like a crooked addition sign.
"I guess so." Arnold said, not too confident of himself.
"Let's put 3 minutes on the NetZero clock. 3, 2, 1, go!" Brooke announced and the cylinder started to spin in 360 degrees left hand turns.
Arnold started to walk gingerly to one of the 4 corners from where he started which was the very center. He grunted as he tried to grab the 1st blue flag. It took him a half-minute (30 seconds) to grab the blue flag, but after about the 4th rotation, he started to get dizzy, but he continued on. Arnold grabbed the next blue flag in another corner after gingerly walking from the corner where he got his first blue flag, but his time was reduced to a mere 2 minutes flat. He gingerly walked to another corner to grab his 3rd flag, but Arnold was so tired and dizzy, he wanted to call it quits, but he continued on. Just when things were looking up for Arnold after grabbing his 3rd flag, he became so dizzy, he couldn't look where he was going. Even though time hadn't expired, Arnold held up his hand in defeat signifying he was finished.
"You're done." Brooke said.
Arnold got out of the cylinder tired, and dizzy. He was covered in sweat as Brooke's staff undid his harness. "They were right, I'm not used to physical challenges." Arnold pointed out.
"Arnold, you had 2 flags, what happened after that?" Brooke asked.
"Around the 4th rotation, I started to feel nauseous. I didn't want to give up, but some people have their limits, and I just found my limit in there." Arnold explained.
"You got 3 flags, but as you know, that is 5 flags short from keeping you safe from the dog pound so, see ya." Brooke explained. Then she sent Arnold off to the dog pound where he sat down next to Mandy.
Brooke walked over to Clover, Sam, Alex, and I and said, "Well, 2 down, 4 friends left to go. Here's challenge #3. It is called 'The Vomit Comet.' We are going to harness you upside-down on this circled platform right behind me, and we are going to spin you around, while I read you titles, phrases or famous names and you have to tell me how many vowels there are in the phrase, name or title. But here's the catch: the comet is going to spin while you are thinking. It's time to choose the loser." Brooke explained.
Sam, Clover, Alex, and I started to write down who was going to be thinking upside-down.
"One of you is going to be hanging upside-down, when we return to 'Dog Eat Dog.'" Brooke announced then they went to commercial.
(Will it be Sam, me, Clover, or Alex who will be hanging upside-down? Leave some guesses in your reviews and I'll be sure to continue. For those of you who have seen the show, then this'll probably bring back some memories. To those of you who haven't seen it, catch it on digital channel 435 at either 9 p.m. or wherever you live. Leave about 3 or 4 reviews and I'll be sure to continue.)
