Hello, competitors! Well, congratulations on making the Final 36! You all have come an incredibly long way! Now, the Temple Challenge has now finished, and Chris and Sandra both ended up victorious! I ended up allowing two people to stay because of Rob C.'s withdrawal from the competition. I would have allowed two people to stay for any five-member tribe, so that the number of people on The Peninsula would be even. So, this would have happened anyways if they were a five-member tribe.
Now, Koror is history! Just like Tambaqui, there will be no more Koror in this competition! Both Chris and Sandra will select one of the six remaining tribes that they would like to head to. When they get to that new tribe, they will receive clues to that tribe's Hidden Immunity Idol, depending on how many they currently have now (Chris, 3, and Sandra, 2), as well as an extra clue for winning the Temple Challenge! Now, Koror's idol will be moved to whichever tribe Chris selects (because he came in first in the challenge). The members of that tribe will receive clues to Koror's idol.
Now, the three people that lost the Temple Challenge (Ethan, NaOnka, Terry) will join the five current people on The Peninsula (Eliza, Lex, Rudy, Sugar, and Sydney) and they will compete in a very important Peninsula Challenge! Of the eight of them, only four will win the Peninsula Challenge and RETURN TO THE COMPETITION!! That's right! Four people will be returning to the game! The four winners will each select one of the four tribes that Chris and Sandra did NOT select! Those four winners will also receive a clue to that tribe's idol for winning the most important Peninsula Challenge! The other four who lose that Peninsula Challenge will be eliminated for good, and that would be a shame, considering how close they are to redemption!
So, good luck to everybody in these upcoming rounds, as we determine who will be our Final 40!
