Country Showdown #6

Last round, we had a tie between three countries on Team Astana. Liechtenstein and Philippines were eliminated. However, most voters put ALL their votes on Liechtenstein. Due to this, Armenia, Jordan, and Kazakhstan are at risk because of a single vote for each of them. I will now reveal which two of these three are eliminated.

(You probably didn't read that part.)

The first country eliminated with ZERO people voting to save them is...

.

Jordan.

Qatar: Interesting.

Kazakhstan: (Confessional) I knew Jordan would get no votes. He's just so boring.

Armenia: (Confessional) I don't know if I can beat Kazakhstan! I bet he's popular with the viewers.

Kazakhstan: (Confessional) Armenia has no chance of beating me.

Anyways, the second country eliminated with TWO people voting to save them is...

Armenia.

Kazakhstan: Called it.

Armenia: At least I don't have to be around you anymore, and at least I beat Azerbaijan. I'm satisfied, BUT UGH I WANTED TO MAKE IT FARTHER THAN THIS!!!

This means that Kazakhstan remains in the game with four votes

Kazakhstan: Yeah... everyone saw that coming.

Team Astana: Qatar and Kazakhstan

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

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

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

Team hi111223: Ireland, Brazil, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Ukraine

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

Astana: 2/10

Balkan+: 10/10

Nickelz: 7/10

KiloNova: 10/10

hi111223: 6/10

McKenzieFam: 8/10

Current Rankings:

1st (tie): Team Balkan+

1st (tie): Team KiloNova

3rd: Team McKenzieFam

4th: Team Nickelz

5th: Team hi111223

6th: Team Astana

It looks like after losing Pakistan, Team KiloNova stole Norway from Team Astana, causing them to tie Team Balkan+ in first place!

Qatar and Kazakhstan

Qatar: Um... so Kazakhstan it's just us.

Kazakhstan: Yes, and I'm the leader. That's why I'm still here and will probably outlast you.

Qatar (Confessional): UGH!!! KAZAKHSTAN GETS ON MY NERVES!!!

Kazakhstan (Confessional): I'm never the leader in real life, so I want to enjoy doing it here. In real life, Russia controls CSTO, and I'm barely noticed.

Kazakhstan: It's kind of... boring here with only two people. Maybe we should look for other teams!

Qatar: I see a sign that says BALKAN+

Kazakhstan: Perfect, let's go in the door!

(Qatar and Kazakhstan go in the door)

Serbia: GET OUT!!! (kicks Qatar and Kazakhstan in their shins)

(Qatar and Kazakhstan run away)

Kazakhstan: That was... unsuccessful.

Qatar: You're right about that.

Kazakhstan: I can't believe that girl kicked us out like that.

Qatar: She seems like a jerk.

Kazakhstan: I am... so... in love with her.

(Qatar shakes Kazakhstan as hard as he can until Kazakhstan falls over.)

Qatar: Are you kidding me? Serbia sucks.

Qatar (Confessional): Kazakhstan is in love with Serbia? They're meant for each other. They're both rude, bossy, and annoying

Greece, Cyprus, Serbia, Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, Malta, Austria, Georgia, and Montenegro

Greece: How do we still have a full team?

Serbia: I told you, because of me!

Rest of Team: OH SHUT UP

Serbia: Hate to say it, but I'm outlasting all of y'all.

Italy: Seriously Serbia, you're only still in because we're always immune. Thank you Gade!

Georgia (Confessional): Part of me wants us to lose a challenge, so Serbia has a chance of elimination.

Italy: Austria? Can I talk to you?

Austria: Sure!

(Italy and Austria in private)

Italy: I feel like we need to make an Anti-Serbia pact.

Austria: I'm in. Let's invite Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Cyprus, Malta, and Georgia.

Italy: That might be too much...

Austria: The more the merrier!

Serbia: CYPRUS I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU!!!

Cyprus: Um okay...

(Greece secretly follows Cyprus and Serbia.)

Greece (Confessional): Great, so now Serbia is gonna bully Cyprus in private. I have to look out for Cyprus.

Serbia: So, since you're in Oceania, can I visit your beaches sometime?

Cyprus: ARGGGGH (stomps away)

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

(The Arabs are having a conversation.)

Saudi Arabia: Since Spain and India aren't here, we need to talk about them.

Egypt: HII I'M INDIA AND I JUST LOOOOOVE COWS 🐄

U.A.E: I'm Spain and I TOTALLY ruled the world...until I didn't and I blame the Virgin Islands.

(The Arabs are all laughing, but little do they know that Spain and India are eavesdropping on them.)

Spain: I hate them.

India: Same...

Spain: I'd prefer China or California over them...

India: Same... well maybe not China.

(Suddenly, Algeria sees them.)

Algeria: SPIES! SPIES! SPIES!

(India and Spain run away.)

India (Confessional): UGH, I seriously wish California was here. I hate those guys THAT badly. Spain is the only sane one.

South Korea, South Africa, Indonesia, Kosovo, Taiwan, Sweden, Vietnam, Thailand, Norway, and Laos

Norway: So uh... hi new team!

Sweden: Hi Norway!

South Korea: Sup.

Taiwan: Glad you're here!

Norway: Why is there a line in the middle if the building.

South Africa: Taiwan and Indonesia got in a fight, so Taiwan has to stay on the left side and Indonesia has to stay on the right. The rest of us can go anywhere.

Norway (Confessional): I love this team WAY more than my old team. I just wish Finland was here, but I'm glad my best friend Sweden is on my team now! I definitely fit in better here, and on my old team... me, Finland, and Japan were outcasts.

Thailand (Confessional): Norway seems cool, I'm just glad Pakistan's not here because he would HATE Norway.

Sweden (Confessional): I am so glad Norway's here! I really missed him and Finland, and I won't be able to see Finland, but at least I have Norway here!

Laos (Confessional): Norway seems nice... but there's just feel something weird about him, and I'm not sure what it is.

Ireland, Brazil, Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, and Ukraine

Ireland (Confessional): I'm glad to still be here, but our team is down to six. I brought my lucky clover, but I'm missing it.

Brazil: So um... I guess I'm the only Non-European...

Netherlands: You're fine Brazil.

Germany: It's ok Brazil, you're still on our team.

Germany (Confessional): Liechtenstein was an innocent little country... and he got out. This proves that any country, innocent or not can get eliminated early in the game.

Belgium (Confessional): After Liechtenstein left, I felt way better, I feel like there was something weird about him that I never noticed.

Ukraine: Yay! I scored at least ten placements higher than Russia!

Ireland: Has anyone seen my lucky clover.

Germany: No...

FLASHBACK

Liechtenstein (Confessional): Haha, I took Ireland's clover! Now I shall have good luck and she shall have bad luck!

FLASHBACK END

New Zealand, Argentina, Nigeria, Guyana, Monaco, Mexico, Nepal, and Singapore

Nigeria: I can't believe it. 47 VOTES is crazy...

Argentina: I know...

New Zealand: Liechtenstein did nothing to deserve that.

Singapore (Confessional): Honestly, I'm kind of glad Liechtenstein is out, because that's less competition for our team to handle.

Monaco: Now I'm in it for the microstates, well it depends if you consider Malta as a microstate.

Mexico: Malta is small enough to be a microstate.

Nepal: Malta's an island though, so I'm not sure if she's considered one.

Mexico: True, that topic confuses me.

Argentina: Swame blere (with taco in her mouth)

Guyana: I can speak taco, she said same here.

Nigeria (Confessional): What is up with Argentina and her obsession with Mexico's tacos? I'm honestly worried for her health.

Mexico: Team, I think we need to choose a leader in addition to MKF. I choose New Zealand, due to him being MKF's favorite.

Argentina: I agree. (says this after eating her taco)

New Zealand: Really? Thanks!

Guyana: I'm in favor of New Zealand being leader.

Singapore: Same!

Nepal: That'll work!

Nigeria: Ok, New Zealand can be leader.

New Zealand (Confessional): I'm the secondary leader! Yes, I'm surprised too.

So, pretend that there's a bus, and there are 30 seats. Two countries can fit in each seat. Your goal is to put all your countries in a seat, but no countries on your team can sit in the same seat. Also, if you try to choose a seat for one of your countries, but the seat is already claimed by two countries on two separate teams, then that country is kicked off the bus.

Example

Team A

Switzerland: Seat 6

California: Seat 17

Team B

Azerbaijan: Seat 6

Israel: Seat 17

Team C

Jordan: Seat 17

Armenia: Seat 3

Pretend that Team C was the last team to choose seats for their countries. Since California and Israel already claimed Seat 17, this means that Jordan is kicked off the bus.

If a country is sitting alone, then they'll also be kicked off the bus, so in this scenario this means that Armenia would be kicked off. If you don't participate, all your countries miss the bus and get no points.

I feel like this might confuse people, so if you have any questions, please ask me.

The three teams with the least number of countries kicked out are immune, and the three with the most amount kicked out are at risk.

Here's some strategies you can use:

Collaborate with other teams to put your countries in the same seats!

If you want to, you can just wing it and hope for the best.

Finish the challenge quickly, so the seats aren't full!

REMEMBER THAT YOU CAN'T PUT TWO COUNTRIES THAT ARE BOTH ON YOUR TEAM IN THE SAME SEAT!!! IF YOU DO THEN THOSE COUNTRIES WILL BE KICKED OFF THE BUS!!!

Also... first place will get a mystery advantage. Don't worry, it'll be a good advantage.
