A.N.: I got this out sooner than the last episode. The big twist! Read to find out. Oh, and, if you've read the summary update, I'm writing a Fans vs. Favorites. And the first nine reviewers, members or anonymous, can be on the show! Just fill out the form below and put it in your review. (P.M. not preferred, but I'll consider if you do) Enjoy! Best yet!


Previously on Survivor...

The morale at Cataquala was low, due to being down two members.

Luigi: Our status is...low. We're down by two. That gives all the other tribes an advantage over us!

Wario: We're losing by two people. So what! The only way we're gonna lose is if we have a losing attitude!

And later, Wario made a sexist remark about girls.

"WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY ABOUT GIRLS? WHAT THE ____ IS THAT ALL ABOUT, HUH?" Peach yelled.

"Okay! I'm sorry..." Wario trailed off.

"Oh, you will be!"

At Pintaso, Mario disappeared.

"Dude! Where the heck were you? We've been looking for you!"

Birdo: Mario is an outcast on this tribe. He's a toddler, always wanting attention.

But later, a visitor arrived.

Rosalina, now confused since no one else was there, opened her eyes. Three inches from her face was a huge red cataquack.

"Wait, are you gonna kill it?" Mario asked. D.K. responded with a maybe.

"SHRIEK! SQUAWK!"

"We're having this for dinner!"

Kammy had a nervous breakdown.

"SHUT UP! SHUT UP, YOU! YOU! You were NOT supposed to be here!"

"Whoa, Kammy..." Toadette started as she ran out of the group in rage.

Daisy: ...I really don't have much to say. If a person like Kammy is being that over aggressive and critical of her team, she doesn't deserve to be here.

At reward, Nokatan won home luxuries, which boosted Kammy's spirits.

"Nokatan wins reward!" Nokatan cheered, especially Kammy.

Everyone was out in the water, soaking their hair with shampoo and brushing away the excess guck all over them.

Kammy: I'm definitely feeling better, although I feel I may now be at risk of going home.

At Pintaso, no one got a good night's sleep.

"!"

"And people think that I snore!"

Before immunity, the now lowered Cataquala had a pep talk, and later ended up winning immunity with Nokatan.

"Cataquala wins immunity!" Wario screamed, threw down the tablet, and ran back to his tribe victoriously.

Sending Pintaso to tribal, where Mario and Waluigi were at risk for screwing up in their immunity and reward.

But in the end, the upside down L lost, making Waluigi the third person to go.

Now, fifteen remain. Who will be voted out...tonight!

The title scene rolls.

Pintaso: Waluigi X, Toad, Birdo, D.K., Rosalina, Mario

Nokatan: Kammy, Yoshi, Toadette, Diddy, Bowser, Daisy

Cataquala: Luigi, Peach, Bowser Jr., Toadsworth X, Wario, Dixie X

42 days, 18 people, 1 Survivor

Pintaso-Day 10

The clouds overhead were dark and gloomy. Everyone was quiet around the fire, heads in their palms. Dramatic music plays.

Rosalina: It sucks going to tribal council. I mean, sure, we're glad Waluigi got voted off, but still, that makes you down a player. Your shelter has an empty spot in it.

"The rice has been on for a while," D.K. noted as Birdo took it off slowly to reveal a slightly burnt pile of mush.

Mario: Birdo's been cooking the rice way too long. It gets all gluey in your mouth! It...it's burnt on the bottom, and the top is all raw and pasty. We've got to do something. I mean, we do have some meat from the cataquack, but every time we have some, Birdo grabs the rice and puts it on the pot, like its completely fine! She shouldn't be out here as a vegetarian.

"Who's underwear is this?" Toad asked as he held a pair of soaked boxers five feet from his face with his fingertips.

"...mine..." D.K. commented, embarrassed and upset that his underwear was soaking wet from the rain. It was hard to keep your stuff together out here.

"How do you guys think the other tribes are doing?" Birdo asked questionably.

"Who cares! If they die of dehydration or something, good for them! They're our rivals, for goodness sakes!" D.K. shouted.

Toad: I do think from time to time about if I make the merge, leaving my tribe and going to the others, preferably Nokatan because Toadette's over there. I mean, I'm sure Mario could join with Peach and we could join together and be four. Yeah, I guess that's sorta crazy...

Rosalina decided to give a nicer response to Birdo. "I don't know really if they're doing as well as us. I mean, we're still good on rice, and we found bananas, we have, what, five more canned foods, and we have the meat from the cataquack. They probably ate almost all their canned goods and have some rice. Oh, and we've been successful in fishing."

"Boy, you call this survivor? We're living the good life!" Mario commented. The others paused for a moment, and realized that they were doing perfectly fine out here. "Oh, and we have to feed one less person."

"Well...Nokatan has won a reward. And they've gotten first in, like, all immunity. They probably are feasting like kings over there." Toad reasoned.

Nokatan-Day 10

The food situation was totally different. Everyone gathered around the crate that first held all of their supplies and now held all of their food. They were almost halfway through with their rice, and had only three canned foods left.

"We're running low on rations," Kammy commented.

Bowser rolled his eyes. "No, really? DUH!" You could see how angry Kammy was still.

Diddy: We're...well, we've gotta find some other source of food, or eat smaller rations, because the amount of food we have is lower than it should be right now. Either we've been eating way too much, or someone's been stealing food behind our back.

Meanwhile...

Daisy and Yoshi were desparately talking.

"Ok, you and I both know that they will most likely get Bowser on they're side, since you help beat him up sometimes and I used to be annoyed that he never kidnapped me." Daisy reasoned.

Daisy: What? Peach has everything more than I do. A bigger castle, bigger room, bigger kingdom, bigger CLOSET! I mean, I'm better at sports, but Sarasaland is WAY smaller.

"So what do you think we should do?"

"We need to allign with Diddy and Toadette first." Yoshi looked shocked.

"No way! They wanted to try and get you out! If we go with them, they can easily turn the tables and vote one of us out!"

"Unless we allign to get Kammy and Bowser out, and then we'd go to a tie, where, beforehand, we tell Bowser that Diddy called him fat or something, and he'll be all angry and vote for him when we vote him out. Then, we vote for Diddy for the tie and they'll vote for me, and it'll be a deadlock, so when they go to past votes, it'll be me, 0, and Diddy, 1."

Yoshi looked satisfied, then frowned. "You really think we'll lose that many immunity challenges?"

Yoshi: I think Daisy's idea was smart, but it's really risky.

Meanwhile...

"So, are you in?"

"You really sure about this?"

"Totally, Bowser. Us three can go all the way to the final three."

"...okay. So, Kammy first?"

"Yeah, and then we'll have to strategically get rid of Yoshi and Daisy so we can stay farther."

Yoshi, who was listening from behind a bush, nearly collapsed. All the things they had hoped would not happen just did.

"Please, Yoshi! We can't!"

"We must."

"Isn't there another way?"

"No. To stay in, we'll have to allign with Kammy."

Kammy: The claws are starting to come out now!

Cataquala-Day 10

Luigi pried open a can of spaghetti mix as everyone celebrated.

Wario: We didn't go to tribal! WAHOO! HOOWEE! Boy, aren't I glad! Especially since I won the challenge for 'em. THEY BETTER NOT FORGET!

"Let's turn on some music, grab some candles, and pop open the champagne! We're unstoppable now!" Bowser Jr. cheered as the others clapped.

"Hopefully this reward will be all of that! That would be wonderful!" Peach agreed.

Wario found four coconuts and opened them all up. Everyone had a chugging contest to see who could drink their milk the fastest. Wario, of course, won. This continued, until everyone was high off of milk.

It was unnormal. Unreal. Unheard of. Until now. Peach...burped.

"URRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRP! Oh jeez, excuse me!" Peach tried to excuse herself in a polite princess way. It was dead silent...then everyone started laughing.

"HOODEE HA HA HAAAAAAAAH! Aw yeah, baby! We are good. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Wario cheered, in a deafening way.

Luigi gave a thumbs up. "To future, and constant victory!" Everyone cheered loudly.

"Survivor !" Bowser Jr. wooted, for a full twenty-nine seconds.

Later...

Everyone was lying on the beach with a pot, moaning in pain with an occasional vomit session.

Bowser Jr.: Yeah, we definitely paid for drinking all of that coconut milk. We should have been more careful about drinking foreign stuff. Now we pay. Dearly.

Luigi: Biggest mistake I ever made. I have never been in so much...aw, no *throws up*...now, where was I?

Nokatan-Day 10

Kammy was being unusually happy. A little too much, you could say. Everyone looked worried.

Bowser: Kammy has never been this happy in her entire life. But as always, this is an act. She gets this way whenever she knows how to get something her way...oh, this could be bad!

"She's...she's...happy?" Toadette noted as Kammy started dancing down the beach.

Toadette: Something's wrong. Really. Extremely. Kammy's always complained, and now she's doing silhouettes down the beach?

Kammy: My life is complete. I am going to make Bowser pay. Dearly. For the twenty-three years he's treated me like a slave, he'll wish he didn't. He'll be extremely sorry.

Kammy laughed constantly as she went over to the kitchen area and took a machete and started pounding away at the coconut she had. Then she got up and left...but the machete was no longer there in the kitchen.

Ten minutes later...

"OWWW! AAAAAAH!"

It took three seconds for Yoshi, Daisy, Toadette, and Diddy to arrive at the scene, where Bowser was hunched over in pain.

"Bowser? What's...what's going on?" Diddy asked concerned.

Bowser slowly got up...and...

...

...

...flung a crab off of his finger as it wandered away.

"A crab caught me." Everyone looked relieved.

Diddy: Jeez, I thought Kammy had found the last straw! Seriously, I thought she went and attacked Bowser or something.

Everyone's glance toward Bowser slowly shifted as everyone looked at the annoyed Magikoopa still pounding coconuts in the shelter, now frowing as she did it.

"Well, if the cow stops milking, we're done for." Yoshi's metaphor actually made since to everyone else, although it probably doesn't to all you viewers.

Daisy: Oh, and you expect me to allign with her now, Yoshi.

Pintaso-Day 10

Birdo was inside the shelter writing in her luxury item, a journal. She finished up and put her pen in her pocket.

Soon, D.K. came in with several bananas. He plopped down and started to peel them away, when he noticed Birdo's journal in the corner of his eye.

D.K.: I take full blame in what I did. I mean, I really had no idea who's it was. I wanted to make sure whoever's it was wasn't saying anything negative about me or the others. And its the perfect way to find out what the others in your tribe are thinking!

"Hm...Day 1: We've just arrived out here on Isle Delfino. I'm so nervous about this game to start. If only we could be stranded on Yoshi's Island! I'd know where everything was. I don't know when or if I should tell the others I'm a vegetarian..."

D.K.: If only I had known it was Birdo's.

"Hey! Is that Birdo's journal?" Rosalina asked Mario, Toad, and D.K., who were all looking at the pages of the purple book. Busted!

"What the heck do you guys think you're doing? I'm telling Birdo!" She ran off as Mario and Toad immediately got up and left.

"EEEEEEEEEEEK! WHAT THE HECK IS YOUR BEEF, BUDDY! YOU THINK YOU CAN JUST GO AND INVADE SOME PRIVACY?" Birdo was angry. Angry. ANGRY. ANGRY.

"I was...okay, you caught me. I was making sure you..."

"WHAT? That it's bulletproof? You crossed the line now!"

Birdo: The only one I feel like I can trust out here is Rosalina. She's the only one with a brain and a heart! All these other guys are bullies, that's what they are!

Later...

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING WITH MY UNDERWEAR?"

Birdo had taken all of D.K.'s boxer and was soaking them wet in the water, then burying them in the sand.

"Oh, I knew how much you appreciated wet underwear earlier, so I thought you might like a little more invasion." Birdo replied cooly as D.K. was fuming red.

Mario: I'm already an outcast on this tribe for sucking at the challenges and being a bit loud. And this whole conflict thing with D.K. and Birdo about not having brains is taking the spotlight off of me, so I'm all for it!

Rosalina: That was not right for D.K. to do. That was not right for Birdo to do. But I think they might have some sort of strategic plan going on. But still. It wasn't right.

Toad: I'm a psychiatric doctor in training. And I know that when there's conflict between male and female, it doesn't last. Ususally there's a reason behind having such a battle, like for attention or out here strategy. In rare cases love, but I believe Yoshi and Birdo are still close.

Cataquala-Night 10

"Yes! The pain has gone away!" Luigi cheered as the others laughed slyly.

"We are such a weird tribe," Bowser Jr. commented. His tribe mates had to agree at least a little.

"OW!" Wario screamed as the others jumped. A spark from the fire had fallen on his arm.

"Was that from the fire?" Peach asked as Wario blew the spark off.

"I think so. It's cracking wildly. It has been lately since it hasn't been raining often.

Peach: Our fire was dangerously close to where we're sleeping. And if we keep it there tonight, then we could wake up blind because they hit our eyes and burned them. It's too risky keeping it here overnight.

"We've gotta move this thing!" Bowser Jr. noted.

Luigi looked upset. "AW! Come on, it's like midnight and pitch black outside! And this is the time to go to sleep...and hide from the darkness..." he mumbled.

"What if a spark lands in our face? It takes one spark to cause a fire." Peach remarked. Luigi gave in.

"Fine. But I wanna do it before my side of the shelter gets cold."

Wario put out the fire. Big mistake. Everything was now pitch black.

Bowser Jr.: We're in a huge predicament here. I mean, when we had our fire on, we were warm and too close. When we put it out, we were safe, but now we're freezing. And nightime temperatures can get down to the forties with no extra layers or sleeping bags.

"Do we try to move it?"

"I can't even see it!"

Wario: It was a long and cold night.

Luigi: Worst night yet. Dark...cold...dark...I mean, it was pitch black! And that's...well, psht, who's scared of the darK? ... ... ... ... ...is the camera still on? Yeah, I thi-

Nokatan-Day 11

"We've been out here, what, eleven days now?" Toadette asked as the others nodded. Kammy was lying on the beach crying. No one did anything, because she'd been doing this all of yesterday as well. Bowser had gone to tree mail, so it was just the four 'rivals' together.

"...we know you guys are in an alliance..."

"...we know you guys are too..."

"...I think we need to join up..."

"...I think we need to too..."

Diddy: I can't tell if Yoshi and Daisy are going to screw us, but it does seem like the smartest move for Toadette and I to make.

Meanwhile...

Bowser was at tree mail. The flag was up and inside was a blindfold with the message on it.

Three blind survivors. Three desparate tribes.

One from each will be blind leading the blind.

Through a series of tasks to win reward bribes.

A shopping spree to the market is what you will find.

"Man! I hate shopping!" Bowser whined as he trotted back to camp.

"Hey, is the hag still upset?" Kammy finally snapped.

Birds were seen flying frantically away from Nokatan beach as Kammy...for crying out loud! This is K+!

Cataquala-Day 11

"I'm great right now!" Peach cheered. "I'm so confident that we can win this thing!"

Pintaso-Day 11

"Either Birdo or D.K. or gonna have to sit out, or else we'll have another get out." Mario mentioned.

"I agree totally." Toad nodded.

Rosalina was still looking at the note. "Wait...the reward is a shopping spree? I don't know, but that sounds AWESOME!"

Reward Challenge

"Come on in guys!" Jeff called out as the three tribes came in to see that Waluigi had been voted out. Wario didn't look surprised.

"So, you've been out here eleven days now. How does it feel?"

"Hell..." Kammy muttered under her breath.

"I'm sorry, what?" Jeff asked.

"It's just...all right, you know what, you stupid jerk! YOU PRODUCERS PUT ME ON THE SAME TRIBE AS MY ______ BOSS! AND EVERY DAY HE TREATS ME LIKE I'M SOME PIECE OF CRAP! AND I CAME HERE TO GET AWAY FROM IT ALL, BUT NOOOOOOOOOOOO! THIS GAME IS ____, AND I'M TIRED OF PLAYING THIS STUPID GAME!" Everyone was taken back at Kammy's loud outburst. Nokatan was trying to encourage her to stay, but she kept pushing away in hatred and anger. Bowser sighed as production came in to try and calm her down.

Toad: When I found out that Kammy and Bowser were on the same tribe, I figured something bad was going to happen pshologically. I just didn't think it would be this severe.

"Kammy, hold still now," a medic was informing.

"DON'T TELL ME TO HOLD STILL, YA RETARD!" Yeah, she lost it.

"Whoa, Kammy," Jeff barged in. "You're quitting this game because of Bowser?"

"SHUT UP! YOU ALL SUCK! YOU PUT ME WITH HIM AND I CAN'T STAND BEING OUT HERE!"

"Are you sure..."

"YES! I QUIT! I QUIT, I QUIT, I QUIT! GET ME OUTTA HERE!"

"All right, bring in a boat." All the other players stood there in confusion and sadness, wondering what the rest of the outlook would be like.

Bowser: I do not treat her that badly! Seriously, don't make me the villain here! She's been like this even before the game started!

Daisy: I'm at a loss for words. I hope Kammy is going to be okay and all, but we just lost our first player and it wasn't by elimination. The mood is depressing.

Minutes later a boat arrived, and production (and a few medics) took Kammy away. She called back to Bowser though.

"AND YOU! YES YOU, THE FAT JERK! I QUIT!" Bowser's jaw dropped.

Soon, Kammy and the boat disappeared, as she was the next person to leave the game. Jeff soon returned.

"All right. That was hectic," he sighed. The players were waiting on bated breath about what would happen.

"Here's what we're gonna do. We'll still play as normal for reward, but there will be no immunity challenge, and no one will go to tribal council tomorrow. Clear?" The players nodded.

"Now lets get to today's challenge. You'll select one member from each tribe to be your 'voice' and will sit on this high perch. All of the other players will be wearing blindfolds. On my go, your voice will guide you through a series of tasks. First, you will guide the blind players through a small rope-tangled maze. Then, you'll have to find six blocks that are your tribe's color and put them in this wagon. You'll push your wagon to this table, where you must unload you items into the different containers. Once all are in a container, three buckets will rise. You'll take these buckets, go out to the water, fill up your bucket, and bring it back to pour in this barrel. Once it starts to overflow, it's a blind race to the finish. First tribe to have the three blind members touching this bag wins reward. Wanna know what you're playing for?" Everyone, especially the girls, were eager to hear.

"Inside this bag are fifty coins which you can spend on anything you want in the market. A boat will pick you up from this challenge and take you to Delfino Plaza, where you'll have to chance to buy whatever you want in the survivor market. Worth playing for?" The girls all cheered loudly. The guys were energetic too.

"Ok. Who will be your voice?" Diddy, Bowser Jr., and Toad raised their hands.

"All right, and who's sitting out?" Yoshi and D.K. sat out. Yoshi was glad for a break, although D.K. wasn't so thrilled.

-

"For reward, survivors ready?" The blindfolded players didn't respond. "Go!"

Bowser Jr. started leading his tribe (to make this easier, I'm making the challenge in script form. Just the talking, though)

Jr: Guys! Hold hands like in preschool! (Peach looked at a random direction with a weird expression that didn't show through her blindold)

Toad: Pintaso! Move about twenty paces forward NO ROSALINA! TURN 75 DEGREES TO YOUR LEFT!

Rosalina: How much is seventy-five degrees?

Diddy: Forward, forward, forward, left, forward, diagonal left, for-

Bowser: Which way's forward? Slower!

Cataquala had a slight lead over Pintaso, and reached the maze. Nokatan stopped dead in their tracks.

Diddy: MOVE RIGHT! NO, FORWARD!

Jr: Good job Wario! You'll now feel rope! (Wario reached out in front of him and felt a mix of twine, nylon, and other ropes) Just keep crushing yourselves forward through that! Peach, sidestep three left!

Peach does huge strides, and trips over some of the twine.

Jr: Thatta way Peach!

Toad: A few feet...okay, now stay together and knock your way through that maze! (Mario hurled himselft at the rope as Birdo and Rosalina followed behind)

Diddy: GUYS! KEEP MOVING!

Daisy: Where?

Diddy: It's right in front of you! The crawl-thingy! GO!

Nokatan finally reached the rope maze as both Cataquala and Pintaso finished at the same exact time.

Toad: Mario! There's a yellow bucket five feet to your right! Birdo, crawl about ten yards forward and a little left! Rosalina! At the 153 degrees to your right, there's two yellow buckets!

Rosalina: I DON'T KNOW WHERE 153 DEGREES IS!

Jr: Peach! There's one more bucket to your left! Keep going keep going keep go (Peach runs into Birdo and falls down)

Soon, Nokatan reaches the edge of the maze and the blue tribe tries their best to follow Diddy's poor instructions. Rosalina was inches away from their final bucket when Daisy accidentally tackled her and collapsed to the ground. Both got up and kept running into each other, as Mario came in and found the final bucket. Luigi got the final box/bucket/cube/thing and both Pintaso and Cataquala were still deadlocked.

Jr: Okay, ten feet away to you top right direction is the table. Grab ahold of the containers and stuff NO, THAT'S NOKATAN'S TABLE! BIRDO, MOVE LEFT!

Toad: Ok, 26 degrees...

Pintaso: STOP SPEAKING IN DEGREES!

Toad: Ahead is the table. Just keep stuffing the boxes in their.

Toadette, meanwhile, ran into both Bowser and Daisy trying to hectically get the final cube. Diddy was still clearing his throat. Both Cataquala and Pintaso inserted the cubes and up rose the three buckets.

Jr: Okay, keep going right to the ocean. Fill up your buckets, then go back to the table! About fifiteen feet to the left of the table's the barrel! GO GO GO!

Toad: No! Mario! Back back back! The barrel's right there (Mario trips over and almost falls in, which would spill the small water amount inside) Pour your...its empty...

Diddy: Okay, Toadette! Forward! Right! No, your other right! Left! No, now I mean your left!

Bowser soon tripped over the final box and picked it up. Diddy tried his best to guide them to the table.

Jr: It's...

Jeff: You're good!

Jr: GOOOOO! RUN! FORWARD FORWARD!

Jeff: Pintaso's good!

Toad: MOVE LEFT A LITTLE GOOD! RUN!

Jr: NO, MOVE RIGHT! GO!

Nokatan sat down in defeat as Diddy jumped off the platform. One tribe crossed the finish seconds before the other.

Jeff: Pintaso wins reward!

Everyone cheered as Toad jumped off the platform and ran toward the others along with D.K. The others left for the trek back to camp. Pintaso was taken by boat to Delfino Plaza.

Pintaso

"WOOO!" everyone shouted as the small boat roared its way toward Delfino Plaza, which soon came into view in the distance.

"Guys, I don't think we should get food. We're doing great right now." D.K. brought up.

"Let's get some pillows!" Birdo suggested.

"Maybe they have a small little toilet!" Toad smirked. The others laughed as the boat docked and the tribe was taken to the market.

The Survivor Market contained EVERYTHING. From various fruits and vegetables to fruit spray and shampoo. From sheets to king-sized mattresses.

"Ok, the food costs five coins apiece," Mario noted as the others browsed through the other items on sale.

"LOOK! A PORTABLE SHOWER!" Rosalina shouted, pointing at a tall shower with several gallons of water. The cost: 36 coins.

"Yikes!" Toad said as he picked up a bottle of shampoo-6 coins. The soap cost 6 coins as well.

"Hey! We can buy the shower, shampoo, and soap!" D.K. reasoned. "That'll be nice."

"Ok! That's 48 coins! Here you go!" Mario handed the money to the producer as they took their supplies back too camp.

Birdo: The reward is SOOOOOOOOOOOO awesome! It was nice just to be somewhere else besides back at camp.

Back at camp...

"AAAAAH! It's so hot!"

Several people had taken a shower. Everyone was so relaxed at being clean for once out here.

Mario: That shower was so awesome. It's nice to just not wade in water and dunk your head, hoping to get clean, but getting everything off and not to mention its HOT!

Nokatan-Day 11

"I wonder what they ended up buying," Diddy commented. No one replied.

Diddy: What? I just raised my hand to be the voice because no one else wanted too!

"Diddy, it's not that. It's just Kammy," Toadette responded. Everyone agreed with her.

Yoshi: I just don't understand why Kammy had to quit the game. I mean, what was really wrong? Seriously! Grow up and deal with Bowser being on your tribe! I bet she's probably getting the medication she needs right now.

"I really don't know how to feel right now. I thought it would be a good thing with Kammy gone, but it's just depressing because she just quit," Daisy sighed as a cool wind and thick clouds came overhead.

Bowser got up. "Guys, if I haven't told you this yet, everything Kammy's been doing is FAKE! Sheesh! She'd get all moody sometimes beforehand just to try and get her way! I'm glad she quit being my secretary! Seriously! You guys should be cheering that the wicked witch of the west just melted away!" The girls were shocked at this.

Toadette: I'm just...ok, we have no alliances right now that Kammy left. Basically we all were working together, but now we need to split to get strategy.

"Now what?"

Cataquala-Day 11

"Man! We almost won that challenge!" Peach grumbled, still wishing that she had that shopping spree.

"Well, there's good news with it! We aren't having an immunity challenge tomorrow!" Wario pointed out.

"Thank mushrooms that we won't have to vote anybody out!" Luigi cried out loud.

Bowser Jr.: I personally am glad Kammy quit. She's always been so annoying to me in everything I do! Clean your room! Tell me what pi is! What is the meaning of life for a young Koopa like you? Believe me, you have no idea. Wait, she also said she quit from Bowser...YES! SHE'S GONE!

After a quick dinner, everyone decided to get some sleep. After all, they had nothing to do tomorrow...

"I'm gonna get a few winks. It's been a long day," Peach explained as she grabbed her small stuffed bunny and went to sleep.

If only they knew that tomorrow would be a long day...

Nokatan-Day 12

Diddy got up with Toadette and decided to go and see if they might get an update on Kammy's situation. They got a different update instead...

Toadette picked up the note and read it to herself. "...oh my gosh!"

"What? Is something severely wrong with Kammy?" Diddy asked in concern.

"We have a challenge today."

Back at camp...

"WHAT?" the others blurted out in pure confusion.

"Let me read it one more time."

This challenge isn't reward,

Nor is it for immunity,

But at the end of today,

There will no longer be three.

"Wait! One of the tribes gets terminated? So, they all get eliminated?" Bowser asked in misunderstanding.

"No, I think that we might all be split up into different tribes, but there's only two choices of buffs," Daisy pondered.

"...or one tribe will get split up into the others..." Yoshi figured.

The other tribes were just as confused as they were.

? Challenge

"Come on in guys." Jeff called out as the current three tribes came to where the mats were at.

"Okay, I know you all are probably confused." The players were more confused at 'probably'.

"For today's challenge, you will select your lightest member to hang by a safety harness out in the ocean. The other members will have to hold up your fellow player as long as you can. Every twenty minutes, one person will have to let go, until at forty minutes only one remains holding on to your partner. The first tribe to let go of their player loses."

"Loses what?" Rosalina asked.

"Loses their tribe. The losers will be dissolved by the other tribes." Everyone gasped at this.

"We'll do a schoolyard pick. The tribe that holds on the longest gets to choose first, until the losing tribe is fully dissolved, and the tribe flag is burned." The players were stunned at the horror of all this, as they all vowed to each other to try their hardest.

"Okay, select your places. Who's sitting out, Pintaso?" Rosalina raised her hand. "Nokatan?" Daisy offered, not wanting to feel vulnerable if their tribe lost.

"Get into position. Wait for my go." Dramatic music plays.

-

"For safety, survivors ready?" Everyone nodded as the lightest members, Toad, Toadette, and Peach were wading on the water. "GO!"

Everyone pulled up their tribemate out of the water and into the air. The lightweights complained about the discomfort of hanging tightly, but the others would soon be complaining at the soreness in their arms and thighs.

Order of tribes, from front to back (the front people leave every twenty minutes):

Cataquala: Bowser Jr., Luigi, Wario

Pintaso: Birdo, Mario, D.K.

Nokatan: Diddy, Yoshi, Bowser

"Note that this challenge could take a long time," Jeff explained as rain clouds started to form overhead.

"Perfect," Daisy muttered to Rosalina on the bench.

A drizzle soon started to fall, ever so slowly loosening the grip on the players holding their partners. The lightweights didn't really mind, however.

Jeff's watch kept ever so slowly ticking.

20 minutes later...

"It's been twenty minutes! Front players, release your hold!" Birdo accidentally let go a little too hard, causing Mario and D.K. to have to recover from their hold. The weight was slightly harder to bear, especially for Cataquala, since Peach was heavier than a Toad.

"Whoa...I'm the only girl that competed in the challenge," Birdo noted as the others took their rain gear out of their packs and put them on. The clouds now poured down their anger, as the six wet players firmly held on...

40 minutes...

"Forty minutes! Leave the one player to fight it out for their tribe..." Jeff explained as Yoshi, Mario, and Luigi let go. It was now the three strongest players in the game, Bowser, D.K., and Wario to fight it out for their tribe to the finish.

"COME ON WARIO! YOU CAN DO THIS!" Peach cheered along with the rest of her tribe back on shore.

"GO BOWSER! WOO!"

"YOU CAN DO IT, D.K.!"

Toad started to wobble up and down a bit as D.K. tried to recover. Peach was slightly doing the same, as Bowser held a firm grip on Toadette.

"Come on Chippy! If only you were still inside my body, then you could make me stronger..."

Everyone was in fear that they wouldn't return to their camp that night.

1 hour...

Peach was still wobbling up and down as Wario tried his hardest to gain control of the rope. Toadette seemed perfectly still out in the water, as Bowser kept fighting to hold on. D.K. tried to scratch an itch, causing Toad to almost fall in the water, but he regained himself and continued his stance.

The players back on shore were trying to start a fire through all the rainfall. Thankfully, the storm had no lightning, or the players in the water could be in grave danger.

2 hours...

The players were still holding strong. Well, everyone was now struggling as the players in the water swung back and forth, awaiting to hit the cold waves below. Everyone shivered as the temperature continued to drop.

"Come on...guys, come on..."

Everyone expected one of the lightweights to drop at any second.

2 hours, 14 minutes...

A splash was heard. Two tribes cheered. One tribe looked down in utter defeat.

...

...

...

...

...

...

...

..."Cataquala tribe is getting split up."

Bowser Jr. kicked a rock as Luigi sat down, trying to look tough as he held back the frustration, anger, upset, and a small tear. Peach got out of her harness and slowly doggy paddled back to shore. Wario's head faced down as he sat there, angry at himself for giving up.

The other tribes hugged each other as the four other players continued their part out in the water to see who would pick first.

It didn't take long though.

2 hours, 23 minutes...

"Pintaso is picking first!"

Toad and D.K. cheered, knowing that D.K. had lasted the longest and had held on for over two hours. Bowser and Toadette were disappointed, but were still happy to not be dissolved.

The almost no longer Cataquala tribe huddled together, awaiting their fate as they said possible good-byes to each other. Everyone else got ready for the red tribe to vanish.

"Pintaso, since you held out longer, who do you want on your tribe?" Jeff asked as D.K. spoke out.

"Bowser Jr." Jr. looked surprised as he took a yellow buff and joined his new tribe.

"Nokatan?"

"Wario." Wario slowly went over to the new tribe and took a blue buff. Only Peach and Luigi remained. Peach figured who Pintaso were going to choose.

"Peach." Peach was more surprised that they had chosen her over Luigi, but went to join her new tribe. Luigi, a.k.a. Mr. Always-Second-Best, hung his head down as he put the Cataquala flag to rest in the flames of the nearby fire pit and joined the Nokatan tribe, embracing Daisy.

"All right. The Cataquala tribe is no more. Cataquala, you will receive your belongings and luxury items back at camp. There is no tribal council. Head back to camp," Jeff explained.

The new tribes headed away from the challenge. It had been a wild past few days. The fire kept burning the red flag.

Cataquala was no more.
