For getting the top spot, Guyana wins an advantage for Team McKenzieFam.
NOTE: This accounts for the countries that get eliminated this episode. I won't count those two and ten countries will be safe, while ten will be at risk.
Voting Results
Last time... countries spanning across various teams were at risk of elimination!
Those countries were Saudi Arabia, Malta, Palestine, Poland, South Africa, Indonesia, Taiwan, Vietnam, Kazakhstan, and Laos.
As I say this... I notice a pattern in the rankings.
Me: Voting Bot, reveal the results!
Okay, if I call your name, you are safe.
Palestine
South Africa
Vietnam
Indonesia
Kazakhstan
Laos
This leaves Malta, Poland, Saudi Arabia, and Taiwan.
The first out of these four safe is...
Malta
AND THE FINAL COUNTRY SAFE IS...
Saudi Arabia.
This means that Taiwan and Poland have been eliminated.
Taiwan: Why me? You should've eliminated that pest Indonesia.
Poland: You just eliminated one of the only sane members of Team Nickelz...
Countries at risk:
1. Romania(tied with Northern Cyprus, at risk because Team MKF participated in the challenge while Team Nickelz didn't)
2. Palestine
3. India
4. South Africa
5. Indonesia
6. Sweden
7. Vietnam
8. Thailand
9. Kazakhstan

Lore
Note: Since I was late to post this, I'll do a MEGA lore next episode. Anyone who has a lore idea and tells me will have it on here next episode!
BALKAN+:
Malta: Georgia, now that Austria's gone, you have to step up.
Georgia: Shouldn't Saudi be the leader? He's the biggest.
Saudi Arabia: I'm nowhere near the Balkans, so it won't make sense if I'm team leader. You have to do it Georgia.
Georgia: Malta, don't you want to be glorious?
Malta: I already am glorious, thank you very much.
Georgia: BUT MALTA... YOU SHOULD BE THE LEADER!
Malta: I'm fine with anyone being the leader except for Montenegro...
(Montenegro is asleep in a corner)
Saudi Arabia: How is he not eliminated...
Who will become the secondary leader (after Gade) of Balkan+? Find out next episode!
India: We're down to five now...
Romania: Yep... we still got this though!
Palestine: Hey guys, can I be team leader?
India: No. I'm team leader.
Azerbaijan: Palestine should do it!
Egypt: Yeah!
Romania: But Palestine wasn't originally Team Nickelz like India was, so India should be leader!
Egypt: With that logic, I should be the leader!
Palestine: That's not fair. I should be leader. It's not my fault why I'm even here.
India: Oh yeah... you're only here because of an advantage!
Azerbaijan: So am I... India, you insulted both of us.
India: Didn't you just insult yourself?
Who will be the secondary leader of Team Nickelz (after Nickelz)? Find out next episode!
KILONOVA:
Thailand: Did you guys agree with Taiwan's elimination?
Indonesia: Yes. He assaulted me for no reason.
South Africa: Well... you started it by calling him a disgrace.
Laos: But he shouldn't have assaulted Indonesia. He deserved to go.
Sweden: You guys realize that it's a liability with one less team member since he's gone? Right?
Vietnam: Not in Taiwan's case.
Thailand: I liked Taiwan. He should've stayed to be honest.
Kazakhstan: I wasn't here when that happened. I'm not taking sides.
Kazakhstan (Confessional): Great. There's now a Team KiloNova fight. I know I'll have to take a side eventually, but right now it's Thailand, Sweden, and South Africa vs Laos, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
Which side will Kazakhstan take? Find out next episode!
HI111223:
New Zealand (Confessional): I miss my teammates, but I'm starting to get used to being alone! I have all kinds of stuff here, which I would like to do in private, so get this camera out of my face!
Will New Zealand be more respectful of the camera? Find out next episode!
MCKENZIEFAM:
Northern Cyprus: So it's just the three of us...
Guyana: Yeah... and I didn't even expect to make it on Country Showdown.
Singapore: The good thing is that we're all immune, so we don't have to worry about any of us leaving this episide!
Northern Cyprus: Yeah! HEY, LOOK WHAT I FOUND!
Singapore: It says, "Argentina's secret stash of tacos..."
Guyana: Oh yeah... I remember that...
Singapore: I almost forgot about Argentina's taco addiction.
Northern Cyprus: It says, "Made in Mexico"...
Guyana: Yum! These are delicious! (hands one to Northern Cyprus)
Northern Cyprus: I've never had a taco in my life. I'm not sure if I should try it.
Will Northern Cyprus try the taco? Find out next episode!
