Yeah-

Okay so this time, it's Brawl-OTO vs Battle-OTO >:0 Headcanons are included in this one as well.

Also, they're at Vanuatu, which is made up of ~80 islands in the South Pacific. This one allowed for teams of 9, and they are as follows:

Battle-OTO: Badgey, Seashell, Present, Frankfurter, French Fry, Coffee, Sailboat, Straw, and Frozen Treat.

Let's get started 👍

Episode 1:

Immunity Challenge: "This challenge consists of a commando crawl through a mud pit, three players moving a ball through a table maze, grabbing the ball, climbing a ladder to a balance beam, net slide back to the ground, three other players then using provided materials and matches inside the ball to build a fire in a cauldron to burn through a rope, lowering a torch, lighting the torch, and crossing the finish."

Brawl-OTO wins immunity and some flint!

Brawl-OTO Events:

Popsicley is impressing the rest of the team.

Party Hat and Slurpy have a major fight. (even in a simulation, we can't escape the Slurphat angst- though it doesn't say it has a lasting impact so..?)

Badgey is impressing the rest of the team :]

Present and Straw have a major fight; it has a lasting impact. Also they dissolve their alliance oof </3

Episode 3:

Immunity Challenge: "Each person must dig ladder rungs out of the sand in order to build a ladder with. The first person to build their ladder and climb to the top would win immunity at their Tribal Council. The winner would award individual immunity to one person from the rival tribe.

There's a TWIST! Each tribe chooses a captain (Party Hat and Straw), and one of them mixes the tribes (Straw), alternating between the new tribes. One player won't be chosen, and the other captain takes one of the tribes back to their beach. Chocolatey wasn't chosen, so she gets to choose which team she wants to be on. So:

New Brawl-OTO: Party Hat, Badgey, Boat, Coffee, Shieldy, and Slurpy (oh boy)

So obviously some alliances are non-functional now, but are still going strong apparently. Just waiting for the merge lol
