the rubber hits the road

survivor is down to the nitty gritty now!  there are four players, and two challenges remaining. 

On Saturday players competed in an English Dart contest known as “Last Man Standing”.  here’s how it works . . .

Each player is given three darts, and they throw them at the board.   their score is tallied (and yes, trips count as trips.  so if you hit a triple 10, that’s 30 points).  we mark down the score by their name on the board, and the next player takes the line and throws their darts.  eventually everyone has had their chance.

we look at the scores and the player(s) with the lowest score are removed from the competition.  we line’em up and do it again, until finally all but one player are knocked out.

To start the night we had Skrully, Cookie, Larry and Aaron.  Ray played one of his 72 immunities.

In the First Round – skrully failed to hit the dartboard, and so was low man with a zero.

the Second Round – saw Cookie land enough points to keep himself from being low man.  despite a decent score, Larry was low man – and removed from the competition.

in the Final Round – Aaron threw a 60-something.  that, is a solid score.  Cookie would have to do very well if planned on getting immunity for the night.  and, he did!  by landing a triple 17, a single cork and another dart in the board he bested aaron’s score, and won immunity for himself!

and boy did that come in handy!

Aaron is going away on vacation, and was forced to save his immunity card for that weekend.  that meant he was vulnerable this past Saturday night when the voting took place!

unfortunately for him, he is a strong contestant, and the tribe took advantage of this opportunity to remove him from the island!

now Aaron is moved into a place of power – he’ll have his say on who the winner will be by casting his vote at the final tribal council.

this Saturday we’ll trim the herd from four players to three.  skrully and cookie have no immunity, so winning the challenge will be their key to staying in the game!
