001: THE ARRIVAL
-- 20 Teens from around the country, at all different walks of life, battling it out in a 2 week long grudge match we like to call....Endurance. --
-- The hot sun blazes upon the 20 contestants as they hike to where they will be living for the next 14 days. Thoughts racing through their heads as they trudge along, �Can I really do this?� It�s too late to turn back now, because the campsite is already just up ahead. --
Aaron, 18 from Texas
Amanda, 15 from Florida
Ben, 14 from Massachusettes
Cealey, 13 from Florida
Brian, 16 from California
"I�m so excited to get the game started, this is like a dream come true for me! I just hope I do alright out here."
-- You can clearly see the fatigue on the lucky hopefuls run-down faces as they struggle to pull themselves along the blazing grassy plains. Getting closer and closer to the two huts visible in the distance. --
Chanel, 17 from Illinois
Chaz, 14 from Pennsylvania
Chelsea, 14 from Indiana
Chris, 14 from New York
Heidi, 19 from Maryland
"I think this is really going to be a true test of my endurance, I came out here to prove to myself and everyone that I was capable of making it through something like this! I don�t plan to let anyone down."
-- What just a few minutes ago looked like two tiny dots in the distance now started taking form as the 20 teens got even closer to the two Huts. --
Douglas, 13 from Texas
Lisa, 18 from Pennsylvania
Jacob 14 from Mississippi
Rhiannon, 18 from Ohio
Kevin, 16 from Massachusetts
"I think its gonna be interesting out here, I just wonder what everyone�s going to think of me when we finally get a chance to talk!"
-- Finally the time has come, the final seconds before the game would finally begin. One of the most mind-shattering things a human being can go through, thoughts racing through their heads at a million miles per second. �What will be my fate?� --
Stacey, 21 from Rhode Island
Nick, 14 from New York
Trish, 15 from Virginia
Thumper, 15 from Ohio
And finally...
Valerie, 16 from Pennsylvania
-- As the players arrive, the two hosts guide them to the center of the small civilization where they will hopefully be experiencing some of the best moments of their lives. --
Host Robby - Hello everyone! Welcome to beautiful Australia!
Host Pj - That�s right Robby, you guys are now in one of Australia�s most incredible places to be, their stunning grasslands ( known for its diverse wildlife ). If you�re lucky, you�ll get to see much more of what Australia has to offer in this two week long adventure! This is also a very unique spot because there is a BEACH right outside of the grasslands. Thats something you won't find anywhere in Australia but here!
Host Robby - But aside from that, I know you guys aren�t interested in listening to us yammer on. So why don�t we give you guys a quick tour?
Host Pj - First we�ll start off with the huts. This is where you guys�ll be spending all your nights here at Endurance
Host Pj - To the left is the girls hut, this is where you girls be staying, but let me warn you, when you walk in you�ll notice that there are only 7 beds to be filled...
Host Robby - On the right is the guys hut, you all will also notice that inside there are only 7 beds, and I can tell you guys have a pretty good idea what will be coming tonight, but we�ll leave that to your own imagination.
Host Pj - Next lets move on to the shore.
Host Robby - This is where we will hold a lot of the meetings like the Samadhi and Temple meetings. Also, don�t be surprised if we throw the shore into some of your future missions too!
Host Robby - Oh and before I forget, see that in the far distance? That�s the Temple of Fate. If you don�t know what it is now, you�ll quickly find out why you never want to end up there during the game. That�s about all you need to know for now, you�re all free to explore but don�t go too far! Get to know everyone before its too late! We�ll meet you back at the shore before sunset this evening for a special meeting.
"We arrived in the beautiful Australia today. It was absolutely the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. I've have never traveled much, and just to be somewhere on Earth this beautiful was amazing and overwhelming. I am really excited that I am apart of this game, and I get the chance to play it. I know that it should be lots of fun and I have every bit of intention of making it a really fun experience for everyone. I just hope I can win the right to stay mission and hopefully be in the game until the final 14."
"Once we set foot on the beach it was like game on to me, I can�t wait to get this thing started!"
--As the guys checked out their bunks, it was obvious who was determined to make themselves a leader within the group --
Kevin: What�s up everyone? Maybe we should go around and Introduce ourselves or something. Why don�t you start *points at Nick who�s lounging on one of the top bunks*
Nick: Hey, Nick here. You�re Kevin right? I�m from New York.
Chris: Hey I�m from New York Too, My names Chris.
--As the guys start to hit it off the girls are having their own bonding session. --
Heidi: Oh man you guys can you believe this! And look at this place its beautiful!
Amanda: Haha Heidi I wouldn�t exactly call wooden beds beautiful but I see what you mean!
-- Chelsea wasted no time to privately corner Rhi right outside the huts to start an early-game alliance --
Chelsea: hey, I was thinking maybe we could do a 3 way alliance but....it's up to you.
Rhi: OMG! I'd love to!
Chelsea: ok
Rhi: Even though its really early I was hoping someone would ask...Who's in it?
Chelsea: Right now you me and Chanel, im pretty sure we'll all make it through right to stay.
"Well well well.... I just found out an alliance. Chelsea asked if I wanted a 3way alliance with her and Chanel. I said yes. But in reality, I dont settle for the 3 leg. I want 1st leg. So yeah, Those two will be broken up shortly."
--Outside of the huts, some of the cast members get together for a quick football game with the ball Kevin packed, while Stacey and Chanel sit on the sidelines and chat. --
Chanel: So are you nervous?
Stacey: About what?
Chanel: You know, the whole 7 beds thing...Obviously a few of us will be leaving soon, maybe even tonight!
Stacey: Wow you're right I never really put that much thought into it...I hope I do okay!
-- After talking to Chanel, Stacey pulls Aaron out of the game to sit him down for a quick talk --
Stacey: So, tell me about you
Aaron: Well, let's see. I'm 18, I go to Sam Houston State University, where I'm studying to be a psychological profiler. I'm almost done with this semester..praise the lord. I'm from Texas... and I have played baseball for about 12 years now.
Stacey: Wow! That's very cool!
Aaron: Thanks! How about yourself?
Stacey: I'm 21 years old, I live in Rhode Island, where I'm going to college to become a hair stylist. This is my first year there so that's really cool.
Aaron: Awesome, What's Rhode Island like?
Stacey: Very small as far as a state.. It's kind of boring but the beach is cool when I get to go and stuff. What about Texas?
Aaron: That's cool.. Texas is very flat and hot. haha, Not many redeeming qualities...
Stacey: haha thats too bad!
Aaron: We're old in this game, I never thought 18 and 21 would be considered old.. *laughs*
Stacey: Oh, I know..I was a little embarassed to be the oldest
Aaron: me too, I was like "14...14...14...14... holy crap"
Stacey: HAHA! I know right!
-- As the sun begins to set the cast members gather around the shore waiting for the meeting to begin. --
-- When the last of the cast arrives, the host stands up and begins his greeting. --
Host Robby: Hey everyone! As you may have noticed, its almost the first night, and you all have survived this long, I think that deserves a round of applause.
--Everyone claps--
Host Pj: Don�t get too happy though, as you may have been able to guess from what we said earlier, a few of you will be leaving VERY soon...
Host Robby: But....not as soon as you think. THAT elimination will be tomorrow, we�ve called you here tonight for a different reason!
-- A sigh of relief runs among the 20 contestants anxious to hear what�s in store for them --
Host Pj: Tonight, we�re going to tell you of a way to SKIP the first elimination!
Host Robby: Yes, a way to be totally exempt from it!
Host Pj: How can I get out of it you ask? Tomorrow before the elimination, you will each get a chance to vote for one person of the opposite gender you�d like to see be exempt! The person with the most votes wins!
Host Robby: But don�t get too excited, if a side can�t make up their mind (There is a tie between two people) There will be no tiebreaker, the exemption will simply be thrown out.
Host Pj: But its getting late you guys, and I really suggest you get a good nights rest. There�s A LOT in store for you tomorrow. Trust me I know. So until then get some sleep, because we�ll be seeing you bright and early in the morning. You guys are free to go back to your huts.
-- The 20 teens start piling out of the meeting area and filing back into their respective bunks. --
"I�m SO nervous about the right to stay tomorrow, I really just hope I can do well enough to stay in the game, it really means a lot to me."
-- As the Sunlight finishes fading away, and the stars and moon are the only things lighting the sky, the cast members all jump into bed (Or floor if they were unlucky enough not to get a bunk). Except for five curious players (Stacey, Chelsea, Chris, Chanel and Amanda to be exact) who decide to stay up and get to know a little more about each other. --
Chelsea: So what do you guys think of everyone looks-wise? I think Ben is so ugly oh my god! But Kevin is looking pretty good don�t you all think?
"I was definitely rubbed the wrong way when the first thing that came out of Chelsea�s mouth was about how UGLY she thought people were, it showed me she was pretty shallow and superficial right off the bat."
Chris: What do you think of me then Chelsea?
Chelsea: Haha! You? You look like you're 40!
Chris: Excuse me did you say I look 40?
Chelsea: Yeah, you do!
Chris: Well you look like a bitch.
-- Chris storms back into the guys hut --
"WHAT A
-bleep-
THAT CHELSEA ELMO GIRL IS OMG, she's being a total jerk and trying to be so annoying ON PURPOSE. She also insults people at random and doesnt realize it she needs to go now and if I have to deal with her any longer ill get upset. I will get her and make sure she doesnt win and I will beat her in this game."
"To be fully honest I actually liked Chelsea at first...but after that whole deal...I mean how could you do something so stupid like that? Making enemies the first day? Not a smart move at all."
ON THE NEXT....EO1: AUSTRALIA
THINGS GET DIRTY WHILE THE PLAYERS STRUGGLE TO RECEIVE EXEMPTION VOTES...
"I gotta say its pretty stupid to vote for someone based on looks...C�mon just because someone�s good looking doesn�t mean they�ll make a good partner at all! Its ridiculous what the girls are doing."
AND THE STRUGGLE TO STAY ALIVE IN THE GAME BEGINS....
ALL THIS AND MORE ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF...EO1: AUSTRALIA!
