Tonight’s immunity challenge is called “Trivia Terrors”

When the challenge begins I will post 12 trivia questions related to Uzbekistan, the host country for this season. Your tribe’s job is simply to answer as many of them correctly as possible before the challenge ends (with a couple catches).

The catch is that each tribe member can only answer TWO questions themselves. So you’ll have to coordinate who is submitting what and which numbers. Also, I will not tell you which questions have been submitted already – if you screw it up, you screw it up. There is also no changing of answers allowed after I have received the first one for each question.

The tribe with the most questions right out of 12 wins immunity, safe for another day in the game. If there is a tie, the tribe that took fewer clues overall will win. If that is also a tie, then the tribe that got all of their answers in the fastest will win. Samarkand, you are sitting 3 people out.

Challenge begins at 6 PM EST and lasts until 7 tonight, or until I get all the submissions. Good luck!
