Team Astana
Azerbaijan: I like this team, except for one member, Armenia. I want Armenia out ASAP.
Armenia: I want Azerbaijan out ASAP.
Israel: I don't feel safe here, with Jordan, Qatar, and North Korea.
North Korea: LET'S HIT THE OTHER TEAMS HARD! YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
Entire Team: WE DON'T TRUST YOU DOING THAT...
North Korea: You guys are fun sponges...
Finland: North Korea is super competitive. It's at a level that concerns me.
Norway: My only friend here is Finland, so Finland is my #1 ally.
Japan: I don't really have any friends here, does anyone WANT to be my friend?
Israel: Sure I guess...
North Korea: No I hate you.
Finland: Yeah I guess so
Norway: OK.
Armenia: As long as you help me defeat Azerbaijan!
Japan: Deal.
Armenia: OK! I'll be your friend!
Azerbaijan: Grrr
Capybarra: Time to move on.
Kazakhstan, Jordan, Qatar: BUT WE GOT TO SAY NOTHING
Team Balkan+
Austria: This team is all Southern Europe, except for me. I feel like I'm on the outs because of that.
Georgia: I'm transcontinental, unlike my team, so I'm scared.
Greece: I love this team, especially that we get pizza and pasta because Italy is on the team.
Italy: Listen team, I'm only gonna give y'all Italian Food if y'all are nice to me.
Cyprus: Guys stop ignoring me! I'm transcontinental too!
Georgia: Did I just hear someone say that they're transcontinental? I mean our team is all Europe and Asia... except for Cyprus since he's in Africa.
Cyprus: I'm not in Africa! I'm in Europe!
Quizmaster: You are not in Europe, Cyprus.
Cyprus: Fine I'm in Asia!
Quizmaster: Ok then...
Bulgaria: I'm scared of Romania. She's always talking about vampires and is drinking some red stuff.
Romania: I love vampires! Also, Big Red is my favorite drink. So, if someone like Bulgaria thinks I'm a vampire, then she's wrong.
Malta: I'm a very tiny country, but that won't stop me from outlasting you guys.
Entire team: SHUT UP TINY!
Capybarra: Let's move on.
Team Nickelz
California: I'm the only U.S. state in the competition. Alright so? I have more rizz than everyone else on my team combined.
China: I'm on a team with my public enemy number one. India.
Spain: I don't like my team.
California: Cry about it, because we don't care.
Russia: I barely know my team, but I LOVE California. She is going to play hard, just like me and China. So, the three of us will be the perfect alliance.
India: I'm on a team with my friend Russia, but I know he'll choose China over me, so I'm going to try to make some new friends.
Spain: Sure, I'll be your friend India.
U.A.E: I'll be your friend, as long as Saudi can join as well.
India: He can join.
Saudi Arabia: I'll join!
Egypt: I'm sticking with my friends, so I'll join!
Algeria: Me too!
Turkey: I guess I'll join, as long as Russia isn't invited.
India: He's not. Perfect we have 7 out of 10 members in our alliance!
Russia: Ugh. I hate India now. She's such a jerk for excluding me. I thought we were friends India!
India: I know you'll choose China over me in a heartbeat.
Russia: True.
China: Don't worry Russia, me and Cali are on your side.
California: China, did you really invent this cool website!
China: Yes.
California: SLAY
Capybarra: Ok now let's move on.
Team KiloNova
South Korea: Team, I love the diversity, but I wish Japan was here.
Taiwan: Yeah, me too... at least I get a break from China.
South Korea: Yeah, I'm tired of China controlling you.
Vietnam: Me too. I also hate China.
Laos: You guys are sick.
South Korea: Taiwan, Vietnam, want to form an alliance?
Taiwan: Sure!
Vietnam: Yeah!
Laos: Pakistan, want to form an alliance?
Pakistan: Sure, and I think Indonesia will join as well.
Indonesia: Yeah, I'll join.
Sweden: On this team, me and Kosovo are the only European countries, so I'm gonna try to build relations with him.
Kosovo: Sweden, want an alliance?
Sweden: Sure!
Thailand: Hello South Africa, I think China is a really good person, but I don't want to get involved, since South Korea is my friend.
South Africa: I feel the same way, let's just stay neutral for now.
Capybarra: Moving on!
Team hi111223
USA: Hi team!
DRC: Why am I here?
USA: Because you are one of the best countries in Africa when it comes to power.
DRC: Cool!
Germany: Netherlands! Belgium! Want to form NATO?
Netherlands: Sure! I'll ask America!
USA: I'm in.
Brazil: Hey guys, I'm gonna go play some soccer with my friends on Team KiloNova. Bye!
USA: Philippines, would you be interested in working with me?
Philippines: I've waited forever for you to ask that. Sure!
Ukraine: I'm separated from Russia, good because he bullies me just for fun. I need someone like America to protect me from people like him.
USA: Ukraine and Ireland! Welcome to NATO!
Ukraine: Cool!
Ireland: It's an honor being in NATO!
Liechtenstein: (to himself) Wait till those jerks see how vicious I can be. They'll never know that I'm the one getting rid of them one by one! *does evil laugh*
Capybarra: Time to move on to the final team!
Team McKenzieFam
Capybarra: I did not realize that Ireland was already taken, and since McKenzieFam chose to remove Nigeria, I have to remove Ireland and Nigeria is now on the team.
Nigeria: I was certain that I wouldn't make it, but I was called last minute! I'm so glad.
New Zealand: Welcome to the team!
Australia: I want to form an alliance... Oh! I like New Zealand and Singapore!
New Zealand: YESS AUSTRALIA WANTS TO BE IN AN ALLIANCE WITH ME!! I'M SO GLAD!
Singapore: Cool, I got invited to an alliance. Let's see how loyal they are.
Guyana: I thought that I would have no chance of making it on ANY team! I'm just glad I'm here and that I can enjoy Mexican food!
Mexico: I gave everyone some of my traditional foods that I love eating. They seemed to love it. I do it to build trust. Before I know it I have Guyana, New Zealand, Australia, and Singapore in an alliance. Then I invited Argentina.
Argentina: Mexico is my best friend here. She is just so nice, and she makes the best food. I would never turn on her.
Switzerland: I'm going to stick to my usual strategy, staying neutral. I don't want to look too suspicious.
Nepal: I love mountain climbing, I believe I am the most athletic on the team. I think I can be a contributor to challenges, but so far my only friend is Nigeria.
Nigeria: I like Nepal, he might be the only one I like and can trust. I like New Zealand too, but he can be VERY dangerous. I feel like he is trying to manipulate me.
Monaco: I know how Switzerland is going to play, neutral. So I formed an alliance with him
Switzerland: I'm in an alliance, not something I would usually do. It's just with Monaco, who I think is nice. Maybe it can work out.
Capybarra: Now that you know all the teams, let's move on to the voting rules!
Voting Rules (make sure you read this)
As you noticed, there was no challenge in this episode, so every country on every team is at risk! It is recommended that you form alliances to keep your countries in. If you are a contestant, you will vote SIX times. If you aren't a contestant, you can vote three times.
The SIX countries with the highest votes will be eliminated, and it can span across any team. For example, one team can still have all ten members of their team left after the vote, while one team may have like six or seven.
If you ARE a participant, vote in the PRIVATE GROUP that I shared with you.
If you AREN'T a participant, then you can vote in the COMMENTS.
Voting closes on SUNDAY NOVEMBER 24TH AT 8:00 CST
If you have any questions about the vote, then feel free to ask.
I hope you enjoyed this blog!
You can only vote for Kazakhstan, Israel, Qatar, Jordan, Japan, North Korea, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Norway, Finland, Greece, Cyprus, Serbia, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Malta, Austria, Georgia, Montenegro, Turkey, Spain, Algeria, Russia, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, India, China, California, South Korea, South Africa, Pakistan, Indonesia, Kosovo, Taiwan, Sweden, Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, United States, Liechtenstein, Ireland, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Brazil, Philippines, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Ukraine, Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Nigeria, Switzerland, Guyana, Monaco, Mexico, Nepal, and Singapore.
So, Netherlands is the only vote that counts.
