Lisa | Tuesday, January 30, 2001 - 06:56 pm  The show began with Anderson explaining that only 7 players are left. The game is getting more difficult, and tensions are higher. It was Day 14 and the group were asked for 6 to participate in the next challenge, and 1 to take it easy. The group agreed that Kate should have the day off. They then second guessed themselves. Anderson explained that Kate was being held hostage in an abandoned church. The 6 players had to rescue her while trying to avoid two snipers who were hiding and trying to hunt them down. They each had walkey-talkies to talk to each other but no weapons to protect themselves. Once they found Kate and released her, they then must find the building Anderson is in and ring the bell. Kate, alone in the church, was told she can earn another exemption if she leads the players who rescue her to the abandoned cinema. She would have to betray her team mates by shooting them and ringing the bell to win immunity. The group will lose the money. Kate thought that was a tough choice. The test began with the 6 tentatively moving forward while talking to each other, and being shown on head cameras. Henry got shot almost immediately. Kathryn was directed by Jennifer but was shot very soon after Henry. Charlie then died, and Jennifer made it to the church alone. She reached Kate and talked to Steve, the only remaining player, by walkey-talkie. Steve said he would respond every minute while trying to make it to the church. All living players must get to the church before they can leave with Kate. Steve didn't answer when Jennifer made countless attempts to talk to him, leading her and Kate to believe he was shot. They then made a run for it, with Kate holding a gun to shoot at the snipers. Jennifer yelled at Kate to cover her, however, Jennifer got shot and Kate did too shortly after. The test was a failure. At the cinema where Anderson waited, Jennifer and Kate argued about where they were supposed to go. Kate had the gun and wasn't shooting the sniper. Jennifer told everyone that Kate didn't do as she was supposed to. Steven never communicated with them so they didn't know if he was alive. Steven suddenly joined the group and told them he was still alive. Kate tried to shoot Steven and he told her not to point a gun at anyone. Anderson then said the game was over and asked Kate to tell them the truth. Kate then admitted to the others that it was an exemption for her to get the live players into the building and then shoot them. The others accused her of playing for herself and Jim defended Kate, saying they would have done the same thing. Jennifer and Steven then argued about him not responding to her many calls. Day 15 - Seville, Spain - The group is taken to the university for a test worth up to $150,000.00. Anderson warned them there is a trap in the test so be careful. They were split into 2 groups each holding 4 and 3 players. Jennifer, Kate, Jim and Henri were in Team 1. They were asked to solve 8 problems in 30 minutes, each worth $15,000.00. They had the option to pass on answers but could not go back if they did. Out of the 8 problems, they got 5 right and won $75,000.00. They then got a tour of the University of Seville which was actually part of the trap. They were taken to a room where they watched the other 3 players begin to answer the same questions. They were told that every puzzle they got right would subtract $15,000.00 from their $75,000 pot. They could send one runner to tell them to stop but that person had to find their way back. Jim is chosen to find them. Jim got lost trying to find them but reached them after they had answered two questions right and lost $30,000.00. Jim explained why they must stop, however, they seemed very skeptical of what he was telling them. Once the others joined them, they realized Jim was being honest. The group total is now $310,000.00. The players were given a 5 minute phone call to whoever they chose. Steven phoned his wife. Kathryn phoned her fiance and asked him to call her parents. Kate called her husband. Charlie phoned his wife and told her he wished he never signed up for this. Henri phoned his wife. Jim and Jennifer phoned their significant others. The day before execution the players were interviewed one at a time. During the interview, the producers left the room leaving a fake production notebook behind for the players to take the bait. They were on video being watched. None of them peeked except Kathryn. During dinner that evening, Anderson asked about the book in the room while being interviewed. He asked Kathryn if there was anything she would like to share with the group. She finally admitted that she looked saying if you leave it out, it's fair game. Anderson made fun of her and all had a laugh. No penalty was administered. The players were called out one by one to take the Mole quiz. Each told their thoughts about who they thought the mole was. It was time for execution again, and all gathered by the pool for the news. Henry loses tonight and leaves the show with a wave goodbye to his newfound friends. The show continues next Tuesday. |
