Great job to Gade and Kilo for that, but remember that the game can change quickly...

Last time, there was a tie between China of Team Nickelz and Liechtenstein of Team hi111223!

I will now reveal which country is eliminated and which one is safe!

The eliminated country is...

China! With only one person voting to save him.

52. China

Liechtenstein (in private): I knew I would survive, my case was WAY better than China's. This is only the beginning of my master plan to destroy everyone.

China: THIS IS AN OUTRAGE!!! I SHOULD BE IN!!! LIECHTENSTEIN IS A LITTLE TWERP AND SHOULD BE GONE BY NOW!!! THE ONLY REASON HE'S STILL IN IS BECAUSE OF THE SYMPATHY VOTES!!!! 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬 🤬

India: Shut up China,  you're just mad that you're out.

China: Psh. You're on my team India, you should be backing me up.

Egypt, Algeria, Turkey: NOOO CHINA

India: Why are you guys so upset, he's a jerk.

Egypt: SHUT UP INDIA!! You're so annoying AND you're acting like the leader even though in reality, you're just the only girl on an all boys team.

(Malta and Austria are having a conversation.)

Malta: Wow, I seriously hope nobody on our team gets eliminated.

Austria: I'm pretty sure someone on our team will have to eventually get eliminated, unless us and Gade keep winning challenges for our team.

(Now, back to the Team Nickelz drama.)

Saudi Arabia: Can you guys... JUST CHILL!!!

Egypt: Saudi, you're always in oil wars with the Middle East. Don't act peaceful.

Spain: Egypt, can you just be quiet for once?

Egypt: No, you're telling me to shut up because you're jealous of my pyramids.

Spain: ...What do pyramids have to do with anything?

India: Good question.

Egypt: PYRAMIDS ARE LIFE!!!

UAE: Actually, pi is the answer to life.

India: UAE... now is not the time to act nerdy.

Algeria: India, shut up. He has freedom of speech y'know.

Team Astana: Armenia, Kazakhstan, Jordan, Qatar, Japan, Norway, and Finland

Armenia: Team, can we have a meeting?

Kazakhstan: Geez Armenia, I just woke up but ugh fine.

Jordan: Fine, what is it you want to talk about?

Armenia: Australia, USA, and China are such major countries. Japan, you better watch out since you're the most major on our team.

Kazakhstan: WHAT!!! I'M THE LARGEST!!! I SHOULD BE THE MOST MAJOR!!!

Japan: Cry about it

Kazakhstan: GRRRR

(Kazakhstan runs towards Japan, but Qatar, Jordan, and Norway restrain him.)

Finland: Can this team just be happy for once?

Norway: PLEASE!!!

Japan: Sadly, no, because of Kazakhstan.

Finland: Norway, let's go somewhere else. We need to talk.

(Finland and Norway are having a private conversation.)

Finland: So uh... in real life we don't get many chances to talk... because Sweden is blocking us... but now that Sweden isn't here... should we... y'know?

Norway: Ummm... sure I guess...

FOOTAGE HAS BEEN REMOVED

(Jordan and Kazakhstan were eavesdropping on them the whole time.)

Jordan: Kazakhstan, lets tell everyone!

Kazakhstan: For sure!

Jordan: GUYS!!! FINLAND AND NORWAY ARE DATING NOW!!!

Armenia: I thought she liked Sweden...

Japan: Me too... should we tell Sweden?

Qatar: I have no idea how to visit Team KiloNova, or any other team.

Armenia: The five of us should find out!

Jordan: No, just me, Kazakhstan, and Qatar. Japan and Armenia are not allowed to come.

Japan: Fine with me. I don't want to be with you jerks anyway.

Kazakhstan: Ohh so you want to be Norway and Finland's third wheel?

Japan: Better than being with you guys.

Armenia: Oop...

Qatar: Come on Kazakhstan and Jordan!! Let's go!

Team Balkan+: Greece, Cyprus, Serbia, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Malta, Austria, Georgia, and Montenegro

Serbia: IF YOU ARE AN ACTUAL BALKAN COME HERE!!!

(Greece, Montenegro, Romania, Bulgaria, and Cyprus show up.)

Serbia: Cyprus, you're in Oceania so go away.

Cyprus: FOR THE LAST TIME I'M IN EUROPE.

Quizmaster: NOT

Greece: Serbia, that was rude.

Serbia: Greece, you're friends with Cyprus so go join him. You too Romania since you're secretly a vampire.

Greece: Fine.

Romania: If I was a vampire, you would be dead by now.

Team Nickelz: Turkey, Spain, Algeria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, and India

Turkey: Um... looks like we lost another one.

India: Turkey, you're actually upset China's gone? I am not; he was such a jerk to me for my whole life.

Turkey: Nobody cares.

India: Note to viewers, the next time Team Nickelz is vulnerable, VOTE FOR TURKEY OR EGYPT!!!

Egypt: NO VIEWERS, DON'T LISTEN TO HER!! VOTE FOR HER!!!

Algeria: DON'T VOTE FOR ANYONE ON OUR TEAM!!! THANKS!

Spain: ... thank you Algeria...

(This lore is shorter because there's a lot of lore for this team in the voting results.)

Team KiloNova: South Korea, South Africa, Pakistan, Indonesia, Kosovo, Taiwan, Sweden, Vietnam, Thailand, and Laos

South Korea: Okay, so China's finally out...

South Africa: South Korea, the game just started, so don't say finally.

Thailand: For real.

Kosovo: Sweden, do you like Finland?

Sweden: ......... I'd prefer not to say.

Kosovo: Sweden, I'm your friend. You can trust me.

Sweden:... FINE I DO!!! DON'T TELL HER THOUGH!!!

Laos: Don't tell who?

Kosovo: None of your business.

Taiwan: I'M SO GLAD CHINA'S OUT!!! I'M FINALLY FREE!!!

Pakistan: We know... why couldn't Liechtenstein get out? He is so overrated.

Indonesia: China should stay!!!

Vietnam: Too late for that

Pakistan: Vietnam, you're commie, so you should like China.

Vietnam: Are you kidding? I hate China. He bullied me for my entire life. I hope I never see him again.

Pakistan: You guys are neighbors... so you have to see him every day.

Vietnam: If Team KiloNova wins, then I'm moving as far away from China as I can.

Laos: Team, we need to talk.

Vietnam: What is it?

Laos: I heard Sweden tell Kosovo, DON'T TELL HER!!!

Vietnam: So?

Team hi111223: Liechtenstein, Ireland, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Brazil, Philippines, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Ukraine

Liechtenstein: I'm so glad that I survived, but I'm sad that one of our teammates is out.

(Liechtenstein in private)

Liechtenstein: Am I glad USA is out? No. Less competition for me!

Belgium: Yeah... I wish he was still here.

DRC: I don't really care about USA. I'm gonna admit it.

Philippines: I barely got a chance to work with him. I wish he stayed longer.

Ireland: Me too...

Germany: Does that mean that I'm the new leader of the alliance?

Brazil: WHAT ALLIANCE???

Germany: Umm I mean team. While you were playing soccer, we recruited USA as the team leader.

Brazil: Oh yeah... that makes sense.

(Netherlands in private)

Netherlands: I think Germany just lied to Brazil...

Germany: And we made a deal that if USA got out, then I'm the new team leader!

Netherlands: Actually, hi111223 is the team leader.

Germany: Well, I'm the secondary leader! Hands if you agree!

(Everyone except for DRC raises their hands)

Germany: That's majority! I'm secondary leader!

(Liechtenstein in private)

Liechtenstein: I don't want Germany to be the leader. I want him gone. I just raised my hand to trick him!!!

Team McKenzieFam: New Zealand, Argentina, Nigeria, Guyana, Monaco, Mexico, Nepal, and Singapore

New Zealand: Um... my best friend is out and now our team is down to eight. *crys*

Singapore: New Zealand, are you okay?

New Zealand: NO!!! Australia was my first ever friend!

Singapore: Calm down New Zealand, Australia's rooting for you, so stay strong!

(Monaco in private)

Monaco: New Zealand seemed upset after Australia got out. I honestly didn't expect Australia to get out since she's so likable. I mean my ally was the first one out, but I don't really know how it feels because I never really knew him that well before the game started.

(Nepal and Nigeria are having a conversation.)

Nepal: YESSS!!! AUSTRALIA IS OUT AND NEW ZEALAND IS AT HIS WORST!!!

Nigeria: That's so good!!! New Zealand is such a threat, and Australia was too. I'm glad she's gone.

Guyana: Mexico, Argentina, can we talk?

Mexico: Sure.

Argentina: I guess so.

Guyana: Honestly, I wish someone on another team got eliminated. Australia didn't deserve that at all.

Mexico: She was my best customer... besides Argentina of course.

(Argentina is eating a Mexican Taco while listening.)

Argentina: iy cudn't soumwoone leike noigirea get owt.

Mexico: Argentina, finish your taco before you start talking.

Guyana: I speak taco. She said, "Why couldn't someone like Nigeria get out."

Mexico: Thank you Guyana...

Welp, this is all the lore for episode four! I hope you enjoyed!!!

For this challenge, you will need to give every country on your team a number between 1 and 100.

USA: 100

China: 97

(Use the countries on your team instead.)

The three teams with the highest average score win safety, BUT... there is a catch. Make sure that nobody on your team has the same number as anyone else on your team, or else that number will be flipped to zero, and so will any countries with that number.

Also, if one of your countries has the same number as a country on another team, BOTH are flipped to zero. If I were you, I would want to NOT pick the biggest numbers, because countries on other teams might claim those.

Example:

Team 1.

Afghanistan: 99

Albania: 94

Team 2.

Zambia: 92

Zimbabwe: 99

This means that Afghanistan and Zimbabwe's number is now zero.

So, CHOOSE WISELY and remember that the highest average scores win, so try not to get a zero to weigh you're score down.

Some strategies you can use:

Collaborate with other contestants to make sure you guys pick different numbers!

If you want to, you can publicly claim numbers if necessary and hope that nobody picks them.

You can just pick numbers and hope for the best.

Challenge is due on SATURDAY, JANUARY 4TH AT 8PM CST.

So... it looks like the teams vulnerable this episode are Team KiloNova, Team Astana, and Team hi111223.
