Country Showdown #13

For the challenge, countries had to attempt to knock over bags. However, they had to choose two countries on other teams to sit out. They didn't know who was participating, so it was a blind pick.

Let's see their strategies!

Team Balkan+

Participants: Serbia, Italy, Austria, Georgia

Italy: What's that?

Everyone looks what Italy is pointing to, which happens to be a note.

The note says, "A team has correctly chosen Austria to sit out of the challenge, so Serbia, Italy, and Georgia will be the only ones participating.

Austria: Are you kidding me...?

Serbia (Confessional): Better her than me. I WANT TO WIN THIS!

Team Nickelz

Participants: Romania, United Arab Emirates, Spain, Poland

UAE: Is that a note?

The note says, "Nobody chose correctly on who's participating on your team, so everyone on your team will be able to participate."

Romania: Yay! We're going to win this!

Spain: I know!

Team KiloNova

Participants: Sweden, South Africa, Thailand, Laos

Laos: Found something.

South Africa: It's a note... it says, "Nobody chose correctly on who's participating on your team, so everyone on your team will be able to participate."

Thailand: Well, that's a relief!

Sweden: We got this.

Team McKenzieFam

Participants: Monaco, Guyana, Nepal, Singapore

Guyana: There's a note!

Nepal: It says, "Another team has correctly chosen to sit out Nepal and Singapore, so they won't be participating."

Monaco: Well Guyana, it's just us.

Guyana: Yeah...

RULES

Each team has five minutes to throw bags to knock over bricks. The two teams that do the most damage in five minutes win safety. Each wall has one hundred bricks.

No throwing bags at each other, or else you will be disqualified

(The four New Zealands are having a bag fight.)

Country Showdown Worker: Disqualified!

(Team hi111223 didn't do the challenge, so that's why I put this piece of lore here.)

3...

2...

1...

Begin!

Team Balkan+

Serbia: C'MON TEAM! (knocks over five bricks in one throw)

Georgia: I'm trying... (knocks over a brick)

Italy: Watch this! (knocks down twenty bricks in one throw)

Georgia: Wow...

Serbia knocks over five more bricks, having twenty knocked over at 2 minutes left on the timer.

Georgia takes her time, she has ten knocked over so far.

Italy is throwing underhand. It seems to work, as she knocked over twenty-two so far.

Georgia: Maybe I should throw harder?

Serbia: THROW AS HARD AS YOU CAN!

Georgia: Um... alright? (She knocks over five more bricks.)

Italy: OWWWWWWW! MY ARM! I don't think I can continue throwing. (Italy has knocked over twenty-five.)

(Serbia and Georgia knock over a few more bricks before time runs out.)

TIMES UP!

Looks like Team Balkan+ knocked seventy-five bricks down!

Serbia: 30

Italy: 25

Georgia: 20

Serbia (Confessional): I mean... everyone says that Montenegro is dead weight, but Georgia sucked in that challenge.

Team Nickelz

Spain: I have an idea! To make things fair, let's try to knock over the same number of bricks each!

Poland: Spain, we need to win.

Romania: Yeah, I hate losing.

UAE: Let's just knock over however many we want.

Romania: GUYS WE WASTED A MINUTE! GO!

(They start throwing really fast, half of their wall is knocked over when there's two minutes left.)

Poland: We got this! (knocks three bricks down in one throw)

One minute later...

Romania: Wait... we got our whole tower knocked down! Yay!

TIMES UP

Looks like Team Nickelz knocked over ALL of their bricks, with each teammate getting twenty-five, much to Spain's delight.

Team KiloNova

Laos: I have an idea! (knocks over one brick)

Laos: There. I knocked one over. I did my part, now I'm leaving.

Sweden: UGH! Now I guess I have to go in rage Sweden mode.

Two minutes later...

South Africa: Thailand, how much do you have so far? I have thirteen.

Thailand: Twelve. Wait, make that fifteen. Sweden has like thirty down.

One minute remaining!

(Laos is laying in the shade.)

(Sweden has got fourty-five bricks down so far, while South Africa and Thailand each got twenty.

TIMES UP

Looks like Team KiloNova knocked over ALL of their bricks, with Sweden getting fifty, Thailand getting twenty-five, South Africa getting twenty-four, and Laos getting one.

Team McKenzieFam

Monaco: Well Guyana, it's just us. We got this!

Guyana: UGH! (throws a bag and knocks down TWENTY-FIVE in one hit.

Monaco: Wow... do that three more times!

Guyana: I wasted all my energy, I can't...

Monaco: I guess it's down to me...

Monaco is taking her time, knocking one brick down at a time until...

TIMES UP

Guyana and Monaco each knocked over twenty-five, scoring fifty in total.

This means that Teams Nickelz and KiloNova win safety, and they get to split an advantage.

Gademotsili: Hello KiloNova. We need to split this advantage, since our countries both won the challenge.
KiloNova: Correct. How should we use the team replacement advantage?
(After two hours of arguing, they finally have a solution.)


Here's what they decided on!

Palestine and Azerbaijan replace Spain and Greece on Team Nickelz

Northern Cyprus replaces Monaco on Team McKenzieFam

Part of the advantage was that they could choose ANY three geographic regions to replace countries with.

Last time, Teams Balkan+, Nickelz, and hi111223 were at risk!

Now that we're progressing in the games, the teams are getting smaller.

NOTE: FOR THIS CHALLENGE, YOU WILL NEED TO BE ACTIVE! 

If you don't have ownership for your private group, I gave you ownership. This is so you get a notification whenever I tell you to pick someone, so don't give me ownership.

For this challenge, various teams will be up for elimination.

One country will be randomly granted safety, and that country will get to choose another country to get safety, and another, and another, until ten countries are left.

Those ten countries that didn't get chosen will be up for elimination, so various teams will be at risk.

The country randomly selected to earn safety is...

Montenegro. This means that Montenegro must pick a country on a DIFFERENT TEAM to earn safety as well. Since Montenegro is on Team Balkan+, Gademotsili will choose which country on another team gets safety. Whoever he chooses will get safety as well, and the team owner of that country gets to grant another country on a team beside its own safety. This process continues until there are ten countries remaining. Those ten will be vulnerable for elimination next episode.

For this vote, Teams Balkan+, hi111223, and McKenzieFam are at risk.

The TWO countries with the most votes will be eliminated.

Everyone can vote up to TWENTY-FOUR times, and you can't cast more than SIXTEEN votes for the same country.

Countries you can vote for:

Saudi Arabia

Malta

Austria

Georgia

Montenegro

New Zealand

Guyana

Northern Cyprus

Nepal

Singapore
