Welcome to the first part of the final!
The eight of you have dodged grenades, fought off mercenaries and survived multiple purges but now it's a fresh page and anything can happen.
Tonight we go from eight to four, and here is how tonight will work.
Tonight will be the first three stages of the final, the winner of each stage joins the final Troika of the season. Last place, goes home. After the three stages, two people will be left, the Troika will have the choice to eliminate one of them.
In part one of the final, it does not matter if you come second or second to last in each stage, only first and last place matter. Each stage in part one is independent of the others.
In addition, there are time advantages that will be given out tonight for Part Two of the final, the first winner will receive a ten minute time advantage, the second winner will receive a 7 minute, 30 seconds time advantage and the third winner will receive a five minute advantage.
The second part of the final is will be something which you schedule in with me, and it is five stages.
Ready for Part One to begin?
