Episode Four:

	Brian knows he has an ally in Brandon, so he decides to see to it that Brandon stays in the game a bit.  He agrees to help Brandon get some bunnies, and keep them.  Jeff, Alicia, and Tammy realize Brian and Brandon are working together, and see them as a threat to their alliance.  They ask Ethan and Jake to help them get Brandon out of the game, and secure their positions in later rounds.  They agree, and plan to keep bunnies away from Brandon even if it means Pekata not winning any more for themselves.
	Over in Sountun camp, the mood was a mix of joy, and anxiousness.  They were happy none of them left, but each alliance was hoping to lose someone from the opposing one.  The strong-willed alliance decides to target a weaker person; whoever has the least amount of bunnies by voting time.

	Bunny Challnge: Individual.    Each player is drawn one card to start.  High card decides who goes first.  That person draws as many cards as he/she feels comfortable drawing.  They must draw at least one.  If they 'freeze' their position, they pass their turn to whomever they choose, forcing them to draw at least one card.  Whoever draws the card that makes the pile go over 21 points is out of the game, then high card chooses who continues the game.  Whoever is the last person standing wins 10 bunnies for him/herself.
(A=1J,Q,K=10)
Brian and Helen tie with an Ace high.  On the redeal, Helen beat Brian, 10 against 5.
Helen dealt two kings in a row, then passed to Lex.
Lex dealt a 6, which made the pile 26, and he was eliminated from the bunny game.
Ken got the high card and started round two.  He dealt a 6, then a 10, and passed to Jerri.
Jerri got a Jack, and went over.
The next person to start was Teresa.
She dealt a 9 and a 5, and passed to Brandon.
Brandon got a 9 and was out.
Colby and Brian both get Aces, but the redraw lets Brian go first.
Ace, 5, Queen: 16.  Passes to Jeff.
Jeff gets a 4, and passes back to Brian.
Jack.
The existance of alliances was obvious, as no one was passing to the other tribe, but to members of their own tribe that they want to keep bunnies from.
Jeff went first next.  9,9, pass to Colby.
Colby draws a queen and is out.
Tom is next.  6, Ace, 9 = 16.  He passes to Hunter.
Queen.
Tammy goes first.  She draws a 6, Jack, 8, and knocks herself out of the game.
Ethan gets the next honor.  He courageously draws four cards, safely:  5, Ace, 8, and 3 = 17.
He passes to Helen.  Helen draws a 4.  The pile equals exactly 21, and is reshuffled, and Helen gets to choose who starts the next round.  She picks Kathy.  4, Jack, Queen, eliminated.
Ken goes first, and draws 3, 5, 3, and a King.  The pile is 21, and the cards get reshuffled, giving Ken the ability to choose who goes next.  The rest of his alliance is out of the game already, so he picks someone on Pekata:  Jake.    He draws a Queen and a 7, then passes to Helen.  Helen draws a 6.
Teresa gets the next high card.  She draws an 8, Ace, then an 8.  With the pile at 17, she passes to Jeff.  King.
Alicia goes next.  She gets a Queen, Ace, 3, then a 9 and goes over 21.
Tom deals a 7, 4, and a King, bringing the pile to 21.  The cards get reshuffled, and he chooses Jake to go next.  Jack, 2, King and Jake is out.
Tom gets the high card again, and deals a Jack, 4, then a 10 and is eliminated from the bunny game.
Next, Teresa deals a 5, 3, 4, Ace, and a 3 and freezes at 16.
She passes to Ken, who deals a Jack and becomes the last Sountun to leave the bunny game.  This is a game meant for a Pekata to win.
Tina goes first, dealing a Queen, 2, then a King, knocking herself out of the game.
The final 2 in this bunny game is Teresa and Ethan.  Ethan goes first, dealing a Queen, Ace, then a 2.  He passes to Teresa.  She deals an Ace, then a King and loses the game.
Ethan wins 10 bunnies for himself.  He is not allowed to share them with anybody.

	Both tribes must now vote between them who they want out of the game.  Each player that gets any votes will have to compete against the other players with votes from both tribes in an elimination challenge.  For each vote they get, they will be penalized for the challenge.  They may use their bunnies to neutralize the votes counting against them for the challenge.  They may even use more bunnies to gain extra points, but they are advised to save enough for the rest of the game, as they have to earn more bunnies later.

Here are the votes:

Sountun:
Colby     .  Jerri
Helen     .  Lex
Hunter    .  Jerri
Jerri       .  Lex
Kathy     .  Lex
Ken        .  Jerri
Lex        .  Jerri
Tom       .  Lex
Pekata:
Alicia      .  Brandon
Brandon  .  Jeff
Brian      .  Jeff
Ethan     .  Brandon
Jake       .  Brandon
Jeff         .  Brandon
Tammy   .  Brandon
Teresa    .  Brian
Tina        .  Brian

The votes were cast, and the 5 players that had votes against them must compete against each other in a challenge to decide who will be the first person eliminated.  The game is high card.  Ace=1, Jack=11,Q=12,K=13.  For each vote a player received, they will lose one point of their score.  They may, however use their bunnies to buy extra points.  Whoever has the lowest score will be eliminated.

(bunnies)player(votes)
(0)Jerri(4)

(8)Jeff(2)
(8)Brian(2)

Jerri has no bunnies, and starts at -4
Lex uses his only bunny, starting him at -3
Brandon has no bunnies to use, and is stuck at -5
Jeff uses 3 bunnies and starts at 1
Brian uses 1 bunny and starts at -1

Now the cards:
Jeff(1) + 2 = 3
Jerri(-4) + 4 = 0
Brandon(-5) + 9 = 4
Lex(-3) + Ace = -2
Brian(-1) + 8 = 7
