Come on in guys!

Satsuma and Tokugawa getting your first look at the new Choshu -- Jacob voted out at the last tribal council.

Alright, first things first: Satsuma and Tokugawa, I'll take back the idols. Immunity is back up for grabs. However, it's going to be a little different tonight, because *clicks idols together to form one immunity idol* only one tribe will be winning immunity tonight. The first place tribe in tonight's challenge will be safe, while the two losing tribes will each attend SEPARATE tribal councils and vote one person out of the game each.

Tonight's challenge is called "Knowing Your Host" - here's how it works:

When the challenge begins, I will post four different sets of questions about Japan (5 questions each for 20 questions total). Some will probably be harder than others in terms of how fast you can look the information up. Your job is to assign one member of your tribe to answer one of the sets of four questions (each tribe member must take a different set, meaning everyone who participates can only answer 1 set of 5 questions total). How you assign who does what is up to you -- for Tokugawa and Satsuma, two people will be sitting out by default.

For every correct answer, you score a point for your tribe. When the challenge ends, the tribe with the most points wins immunity and idol clues. For the two losing tribes, tribal council where two people will be voted out separately. In the event of a tie, the tribe that got all of their submissions in the fastest will win.

Any questions, just ask. Good luck! I will post the questions when the challenge officially begins.

Ok so you are mailing the answers to you right? So that means its ok if i don't get on exactly at 7 the only advantage that would give me is a little more time and tie breaker?

Bob - Yes, correct

To clarify, you should send me your answers by either mails or over skype, do not post them here.

okay!

What if we don’t have 4 people
