Last time...
The states played Pick Your Poison!
The Avengers were up for elimination! One of them will be eliminated today!
Elimination Time!
This series is not taking another hiatus! The series must go on!
Last time the Avengers were up for elimination...
(Arizona, Georgia, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, Virginia)
We got 10 votes!
We asked you guys to rank these states.
Whichever state got the THIRD HIGHEST AVERAGE RANKING, aka the Middleman, will be eliminated.
Arizona: I personally think this voting style is unfair.
Georgia: Agreed. The least popular state should be eliminated, not the third most popular.
Gekko0923: Well, I didn't necessarily say that rank 1 was the best and rank 5 was the worst. You just had to avoid #3, the exact middle.
Pennsylvania: So we should make a pitch that asks the viewers to rank you high or rank you low.
Gekko0923: But you can't have both, or the votes will balance each other out and give you a mid average. You don't wanna be mid in this voting style.
Here are the averages:
2.6
2.7
3.0 (ELIMINATED)
3.2
3.5
Whoever got the 3.0 average is eliminated!
New Mexico is safe with the 3.5!
New Mexico: Me? First safe? That's a delight.
Virginia: He should be the one eliminated! The viewers probably thought it was a normal ranking.
Gekko0923: Nope. He's safe.
Arizona is safe with a 2.6 average!
Arizona: Thank goodness. The hot state is on a hot streak!
Pennsylvania is safe with a 2.7! This leaves Virginia and Georgia. One of you is safe with 3.2, while the other is eliminated with 3.0.
It came down to the very last vote, but the one safe is...
Virginia! Georgia, it's time for you to go.
Virginia: Phew! Take that, West Virginia fans! Virginia lives another day!
Georgia: Aw man. This is all Florida's fault. Screw you, Florida!
Florida: I'm just playing the game. Is that so wrong?
Georgia: Your time will come. Very soon. Trust me.

The Challenge - Mingle Game
This is from Squid Game Season 2!
We will be playing music. When the music stops, a number will be called out.
Make groups of the assigned number, get in a room, and lock the door!
Whoever does not find a group will be eliminated.
The first team to lose all of their members will be up for elimination!
NOTE: You are not restricted to your teams for this challenge, but it is highly recommended that you stick with them.
Round 1 (28 remain)

Five!
ROOM #1: Wyoming, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada (Team Wild West)
Nevada: That was easy!
Idaho: But what will we do if it's a smaller number? Like four, or three?
Wyoming: We'll figure it out as we go.
ROOM #2: Alaska, Hawaii, Vermont, Washington, Oregon (Team Outsiders)
Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Florida, Illinois, and Texas all enter Room #3.
Massachusetts: We have too many!
Texas: Yo! Somebody get out! Or else we'll all get eliminated and lose!
Illinois: How about you, Minnesota?
Minnesota: Oh, sure...
Michigan: Hey! Stop picking on him for being a nice person!
Massachusetts: Yep! I nominate you to be eliminated, Illinois?
Illinois: What? This isn't-
Florida: Just get outta here to save us. Take one for the team.
(Florida and Illinois begin wrestling)
Both the Avengers and the Cardinals enter Room #4.
Virginia: We were here first!
West Virginia: No, we were!
Pennsylvania: Well, there are eight of us. Three need to go.
Maryland: Yeah, guys, both of our teams are already down to four members. We should be working together, if anything.
Virginia: Working together, huh, Maryland? Then what happened to DC?
Maryland: Okay, you didn't need to bring that up.
In Room #5, the Underdogs seek one more member.
Iowa: There are only four of us, we need someone.
Kentucky: Wait. The Rebels have six, and we have four. Illinois, come flip!
But Illinois was still fighting to stay in.
Texas: Hear that? They need one more member. Massachusetts?
Massachusetts: What? Why me?
Texas: I'll throw you to Room 5. You're the only one small enough for me to throw.
Massachusetts: Okay, Mr. Quarterback.
New Mexico: Not so fast.
Texas throws Massachusetts, but New Mexico reaches Room 5 first.
New Hampshire: Oh, well. Welcome to the Underdogs, New Mexico!
New Mexico: Thanks! I consider myself an underdog anyway.
With Massachusetts leaving, Room #3 only has five members left.
Florida: Oh thank God. But it should've been Illinois.
ROOM #3: Texas, Michigan, Minnesota, Illinois, Florida
ROOM #5: Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, New Hampshire, New Mexico
Room #4 still has stuff to figure out.
Arizona: We already got rid of one of our members. It's your turn.
North Carolina: Let's get rid of you, SC.
South Carolina: No way! It should be you!
Virginia: How about... both of you?
North Carolina: Sure. But she has to step out first.
South Carolina: No! I can't live with the satisfaction of you beating me!
Arizona: Okay, then, we'll force you out.
North Carolina and South Carolina are thrown out because of their inability to work together.
ROOM #4: Pennsylvania, Virginia, Arizona, West Virginia, Maryland
Maryland: We're the only Cardinals left, WV.
West Virginia: I know. But only because we have idiots on our team.
ELIMINATED: Massachusetts, North Carolina, South Carolina
Round 2 (25 remain)

Seven!
Texas, Minnesota, Michigan, Illinois, and Florida enter Room #1. But in a dirty trick, Florida pushes Illinois out.
Michigan: What was that for?
Florida: She's a detriment to our team. It's best this way.
Texas: Three more!
Arizona, Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland all enter.
Maryland: Hey! Get out!
(Virginia and West Virginia start brawling, with Maryland joining the fray!)
Minnesota: Too many people again...
Maine and New Hampshire split off from Kentucky and Iowa.
Maine: Trust me, it's better off this way.
New Hampshire: But why can't we work with them?
Maine: We just can't. (They enter Room #2.)
Both the Wild West and the Outsiders strive to enter Room #2.
Nevada: Only five can enter!
Alaska: Let us enter! We had a West Coast alliance, right?
Idaho: That doesn't help anything!
Hawaii: Let's throw Maine and New Hampshire out!
(A huge brawl ensues in Room 2. Iowa and Kentucky enter Room #3. New Mexico enters as well.)
Iowa: Ah. Nice and calm here.
New Mexico: I wonder who will come here next?
Illinois enters Room 3.
Illinois: Those traitors will pay!
Meanwhile, the Outsiders overpowered the Wild West, kicking them out.
ROOM #2: Maine, New Hampshire, Alaska, Hawaii, Vermont, Connecticut, Oregon
Virginia and West Virginia are sacrificed in Room #1.
Meanwhile, the Wild West must choose who to put in Room 3.
Montana: Who will go?
Nevada: I will. Sorry, guys.
Wyoming: What a selfish-
Colorado: Just get in! (he pulls Wyoming in!
Idaho: Oh shoot.
Montana: It's the end for us.
ROOM #3: Iowa, Kentucky, New Mexico, Illinois, Nevada, Colorado, Wyoming
ROOM #1: Texas, Michigan, Minnesota, Florida, Arizona, Pennsylvania, Maryland
ELIMINATED: Idaho, Montana, Virginia, West Virginia

The Outsiders brawl with the Rebels (except Illinois) for Room #1. Maine and New Hampshire also join in favor of the Outsiders, to eliminate the Rebels.
Alaska and Texas have a massive brawl.
Washington: Keep pushing!
Michigan: Take them out one by one! Start with the small ones!
New Hampshire, Vermont, and Hawaii are thrown out.
For Room #2, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Maryland peacefully ally with New Mexico, Iowa, and Kentucky.
ROOM #2: Arizona, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Mexico, Iowa, Kentucky
Maryland: I'm the only Cardinal left. Can't let my team lose!
Being thrown out, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Hawaii enter Room #3, followed by Illinois. Nevada, Colorado, and Wyoming enter, but Colorado pushed Nevada out.
Wyoming: Why'd you do that?
Colorado: For you.
Wyoming: But why him and not me?
Colorado: Because...
Illinois: Just cut out the romance!
ROOM #3: New Hampshire, Vermont, Hawaii, Illinois, Colorado, Wyoming
In Room #1, it's a brawl between Maine, Alaska, Washington, Oregon vs Texas, Michigan, Minnesota, and Florida.
Oregon: Can we still work something out? Maybe 3 and 3 from each side?
Florida: No negotiating. We fight to the death.
Nevada also joins in the battle, making it more chaotic.
Washington: Time is almost up! I'll just sacrifice myself!
Maine: No, don't. Keep fighting.
Texas: Come get some of this, Alaska.
TIME'S UP!
Room #1, you have too many people. You will all be eliminated.
ELIMINATED: Maine, Alaska, Washington, Oregon, Texas, Michigan, Minnesota, Florida, Nevada
Gekko0923: And with that, the team up for elimination is...
No one yet! You're telling me ALL six teams are represented in the final 12? That's awesome!
This next round will probably be the final one!
Round 4 (Final) (12 remain)

Eight!
Final 12: Arizona, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Mexico, Iowa, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Vermont, Hawaii, Illinois, Colorado, Wyoming
There are two rooms. But only one can be full.
Arizona, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Mexico, Iowa, and Kentucky occupy Room #1.
New Hampshire, Vermont, Hawaii, Illinois, Colorado, and Wyoming occupy Room #2.
The only solution is for two people to change sides and create a room of eight.
Kentucky: New Hampshire! Flip sides!
Iowa: No, stay there. If we have at least one Underdog in each room, we're guaranteed safety.
New Mexico: Colorado! Take Wyoming with you! Western states should stick together!
Colorado: You're not even on the Wild West team! You're not a real Western state!
Illinois: Can you name one good state from the other side? I can't.
Hawaii: Yeah, we should pressure them to flip... but it just seems so wrong.
Vermont: Guys! Stay strong! Don't let the temptation overcome you!
New Mexico: Guys, I'm going to flip. We're still going to be safe.
Arizona: I mean... sure, I guess.
New Hampshire: Wait. Don't do that. Vermont, let's go. It's time for Illinois to be UFE!
Vermont: What?
New Hampshire: The fans will finally eliminate her for good!
Illinois: No! Don't!
Vermont: Fine.
New Hampshire and Vermont switch sides.
Iowa: Oh, thanks. But that was a risky move. Glad that it paid off for us.
ELIMINATED: Hawaii, Illinois, Colorado, Wyoming
SURVIVORS: Arizona, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Mexico, Iowa, Kentucky, New Hampshire, Vermont
Gekko0923: Okay... let's see which teams are represented in the survivors.
Avengers: 3
Underdogs: 3
Cardinals: 1
Outsiders: 1
Rebels: 0
Wild West: 0
Idaho: Wait. Both the Wild West and the Rebels have 0. What happens now?
Gekko0923: Both teams are up for elimination! But only one state will be eliminated!
Voting Method: Ranked Elimination
The voting method for this is...
RANKED ELIMINATION
There are eleven states up for elimination. Choose four you want to be eliminated.
Your first choice will receive four votes (votes are bad in this case)
2nd = 3, 3rd = 2, 4th = 1
For instance...
1. Arkansas
2. Indiana
3. Nebraska
4. Oklahoma
In this case, Arkansas is the state you hate the most and will be given the most elimination votes.
Oklahoma is the state you hate the least, but still dislike.
You can only include FOUR states in your ranking. You can include less, but you can't include more.
The Candidates
Colorado
I was just trying to save Wyoming and be helpful in the challenge! Is that so bad? I'm the only one who acknowledged Wyoming's existence.
Florida
I'm one of the most essential and iconic states in the entire nation! Disney World, wonderful beaches, the list goes on! I urge you to vote Illinois out. Everyone wants her out.
Idaho
Potatoes. Can't get realer than that.
Illinois
Please eliminate Florida! I gave the world Regina George, but Chicago and the Bulls are decent enough too. That should be iconic enough to save me!
Massachusetts
Ow... I'm still hurting from Texas throwing me like a baseball, but you should be informed of my remarkable history, landmarks, important people, universities, and current hallmarks. Please let me explain in no longer than 5000 words per section, adding to a total of 25000 words...(to be continued)
Michigan
Um, I don't know? I hate Ohio... and the M alliance is going strong for now. Please don't break it. A Massachusetts-Michigan-Minnesota final three would be awesome.
Minnesota
I'm too innocent and kind to go home!
Montana
I don't know about you... but I think Colorado and Wyoming should go in my opinion. Their romance is getting in the way of our challenge performance, and I don't think I can handle seeing them together anymore. Eliminate Colorado first, then we'll see if Wyoming changes.
Nevada
I love gambling! Roll a die! If it rolls 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6, don't vote for me, and instead choose someone at random! Vote random like stupid 12-year-old Total Drama Roblox players do!
Texas
Your vote ain't Texas... ain't no hold 'em, lay your votes... for.. someone... else! Also I apologized to Massachusetts! It's hard for such a big fella like myself to control my strength sometimes.
Wyoming
Oh, you remembered I exist? The only time you remember me is to eliminate me? How ironic.
