Survivor is Down to the Final Two

if you stop by the tavern at all, I’m sure you are already aware that the Survivor Series has come down to the final two contestants.  here’s how we got there . . .

 The final challenge had three participants – Larry, Ray, and Cookie.  Larry and Ray had riden the wave of immunity cards that they acquired throughout the series to make their way into the final challenge.  Cookie never had immunity, but found himself at the edge of potentially winning the series with a good showing in the final event. 

at this point, every man was for himself, and no immunity remained.  so, it was do, or die.

the Challenge?

Tiddly Winks!!!

i’m sure many of the players had heard the word, but had never seen, and certainly never played the game.  this was evident from the start. 

the task would be to put four winks into the center cup.  there were 8 winks placed in starting positions.  if a wink travels off of the playing area, it is placed back on one of the starting spots. 

cookie went first.  and after having some initial difficulty, he experienced more difficulty.  followed by having a hard time getting any of the winks into the center cup.  finally, when the dust cleared, it took Cookie 80 tries at flipping a wink to pot four of them. 

next, ray took the Squidger and started launching winks.  although cookie had a very rough go of it, ray had a rougher go.  in fact, i do believe it got his dander up.  this was evidenced by the fact that he broke a Squidger in what looked to be a mixture of disgust and desperation.  after the 80 flips mark passed the sun set on Ray’s efforts.  cookie stood in the lead. 

now, everything rested on Larry’s shoulders.  if he should fail to best Cookie’s mark, Cookie would choose who to take to the Final Council to face off against him. 

for some reason, the wink flipping came easier to larry than it did to either Cookie or Ray, and Larry potted four winks in a mere 45 flips – Winning the Challenge!!!

The Final Decision:

Larry chose to face off against Ray in front of the Final Council.  and so both he and Ray will have 2 minutes each to address the Jury of . . .

• Cookie
• Skrully
• Z
• Aaron
• Dawn
• Tony Matt
• Lori

and then they will vote for the winner of the Inaugural Season of Dorko’s Survivor. 

WHEN - we didn’t gather on Saturday past because of the holiday, and this coming Saturday I will be away visiting my in-laws.  i return Saturday the 17th of July, and since we are all used to the 9pm time slot, voting will take place then.
