Challenges[]

Challenge: Rats In The Rigging
In randomly-chosen pairs, climb a fishnet to the deck, climb a cargo net to reach a rope and pulley, one person pulls a bell over, the other person rings it. Then, retrieve a rope with a grappling hook, swing to fishnet, climb to deck, then to crow's nest, one person unties knots to lower bell, second person rings it. Slide down sail, release a rope, grab the bell-ringer that drops, ring final bell. Two heats, two pairs in each heat, winners move on to final. The course is the same, but at each bell the player who gets the bell must also ring it, while the other player then grabs a bag of puzzle pieces. The final rope must be chopped with a cutlass to grab a key. The key opens a treasure chest with a solving station inside. The first pair to solve the puzzle wins.
Reward: Deep-sea fishing trip.
Winner: Burton Roberts and Lillian Morris (Burton gave his reward to Jon Dalton)

Challenge: Killer
In this game of blowdarts, each castaway will have an individual marked section on the gameboard (sub-divided into 1-, 2-, and 3-life sections). Each castaway must first land a dart anywhere in their section to become a killer, after which they may shoot at the other players' sections to get rid of their lives and/or killer status. Once a castaway has lost their killer status and all three lives, they are out of the challenge. The last person left wins.
Winner: Burton Roberts

(voting against Jon) I hate you, I hate you, I hate you. And I know you have it out for me. But guess what? Before I go home, you will be going home.
S7 rupert t
Rupert
(voting against Darrah) A Morgan has to go tonight. And the other two work harder than you do.
S7 burton t

(voting against Rupert) Our island is not big enough for the two of us, and I don't have plans to go anywhere anytime soon.
S7 jon t
Jon
(voting against Rupert) To be the man, you gotta beat the man. Woo!
S7 darrah t
Darrah
(voting against Rupert) Rupert, I'm voting for you because there is no longer a Drake alliance no more. And I know you're going to be totally shocked by this. But thanks for the good fish and feeding my tummy.
S7 lillian t
Lillian
(voting against Rupert) I love you dearly. You're the nicest guy around. But in order for me to stay in this game, I need to get rid of the biggest threats. And you sir, are my biggest threat. Thank you.

Final Words[]

S7 rupert bw
Rupert
It is insane how bad I needed this. This would have made my life a lot better. I always get hurt trusting people. I want so badly to be accepted and I never get the acceptance that I want. I don't fit. So much for my dreams.
