After the Jetsetters were left confused with 8 left and and Eliminationless Ranking, some started wondering about what exactly has happened and was about to happen...

Olive: "But I'm so glad to see you."
Connie: "I know, me too."
Olive: "You could've been Eliminated tonight."





Edmund: "Good to know. Are all 8 Jetsetters left still present?"
HEALTH-E: "I do not know yet. I have signaled the presence of Jason, Olive, Connie and the two of us today. That means that Hector, Diane and Salma are still absent."
Edmund: "If one of them has been Nominated..."




The noticable absence of Diane White even got some people thinking that she's was taken away overnight, which led to emotional fights and some unamused glares...

Connie: "Guys, have you seen Diane?"
Olive: "No.."
HEALTH-E: "Me neither."
Connie: "She's not in the kitchen."




HEALTH-E: "How could we open that door?"
Jason: "Perhaps someone has a key?"
Edmund: "No... But we could try and shove Olive through, she's heavy enough."
Olive: "Ach hou je vuile kutklotebek!"




Connie: "Guys please!"

*Connie sheds a tear*

Connie: "My closest friend here may be gone and you just go and fight like little kids! Shame on you!"

*Connie cries a few more tears*




*HEALTH-E tries something with his fingers. He manages to unlock the door*



One of which was Diane's herself.

Diane: "What in the WORLD are you DOING?!"
Salma: "Look, we can explain."
Diane: "I was about to tell you that your pancakes were getting cold, my dears. But now I might as well-"




Diane's pancakes getting cold weren't too relevant though, after the next Challenge involved a dinner at the most luxurious restaurant in Appaloosa Plains.

Odessa: "Good news, reservation stuff's all set, we can go to our table."
Jetsetters: "Yaaaay!!"
Min Hee: "Don't get too excited though, others might be trying to enjoy their food in peace as well."
Jetsetters: "Yay..."Odessa: "Well, before we go though, we should tell you about yet another thing."
Min Hee: "You, my dearest players, are joining the first couple of Appaloosa: Mr Tate Curley and Mrs Esme Curley."




Throughout all this, Jason started to get a little... overly obsessed with Janna, whom he hasn't seen for 10 full days by now... Or has he?

*Jason views the painting*

Jason: "Janna? How in the-"




*Jason drops back on his bed*

Jason: "She's okay Jason... She is not killed by an ax-crazy robot, Jason, she's not..... I really need to get my mind on something else... Something not about Janna..."




Luckily, there was Hector to give him some advice.

Hector: "Sometimes life throws a lot at you at once. I've been through it as well. You should take the time to tone it down and process everything, so you can get new energy to get ahead in life again."
Jason: "... So you think I'm getting stressed?"
Hector: "Yup. And you might need to find a way to relax."
Jason: "... I guess you're right."




Jason: "Thanks for listening, Hec. I really needed it."
Hector: "You're welcome."




The Challenge was less merciful to Jason and the other Jetsetters, however...

HEALTH-E: "I got both Edmund and Olive to say 1980, besides myself."
Odessa: "3 people said 1980, $15.000 straight in the pocket! Salma?"
Salma: "I'm sorry guys..."
Min Hee: "Since you haven't convinced Esme that Brianne should have won Season 2 of The Mole instead of Taiha, no money has been earned."




Salma: "I just never saw that season, okay? And when I do not know anything about it in the first place, I can't convince others about who should've won. Plus, it gave me the chance to sit back and behold what others are doing."



... And after that, there was another brutal twist to be thrown to the Jetsetters...

Odessa: "That means you earned a total of $30.000 out of a possible $120.000... And now quiet, all of you! ... You are not allowed to verbally communicate anymore for now. Instead, you'll all be split up and brought to different rooms by Min Hee and me."



Min Hee: "Why? Because tonight, right here at the spot, you will do the Ranking."
Jetsetters: "What?!"




What will the sudden twist and the seperation mean to the outcome of the Rankings and the Elimination? How will this influence the game in general?

20 DAYS, 12 PLAYERS, 1 CRUISE
THIS IS 









* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Kim Gould's Steakhouse
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


Diane: "What in the world are they thinking locking us up like that?"




Connie: "I'm getting really nervous by this chain of events... What if they're err, Eliminating someone tonight and we can't even say our goodbyes?"

*Connie shivers*

Connie: "..... Horror..."




Hector: "Shoot... I just wish I could have a chat with my allies, now I'm just a little lone fishy in a sea full of Assassin squids... Fish fare better in groups, you know."




HEALTH-E: "I am in the need of updating my suspect list with the help of Edmund and Salma, I will likely not do well if that step is taken away from me."




Min Hee (through an intercom): "Jetsetters..."




Min Hee: "Due to the Ranking taking place here instead of at the Jetsetter..."




Min Hee: "There are a few changes in how we'll approach the Ranking procedure."




Odessa: "Because the Theatre is currently logistically impractical to use, we settled for an emergency solution instead..."




Odessa: "If you go outside, you'll find a laptop. If you open it, you'll see a login screen. Just log in with your first name, and the rest should be the same old deal."




Min Hee: "To get outside, exit your current chamber and then go into the direction not ending in a dead end."




Min Hee: "You should then meet a plant-construction-decoration-thingy. Go to the left there."




Odessa: "You then go straight on your way out. If you see us in the lobby, you're fine."




Odessa: "After you've put in your Ranking, you go back to the room you were in."




Odessa: "And remember, do NOT think of any funny actions, like logging in as someone else or such. We've got camera view on the laptop, for your instance."




Min Hee: "If you do, you'll receive a strike. Consequence protocol, you know. Salma, you're first!"




Min Hee: "Well, there we go."
Odessa: "Lets hope they can find it."
Min Hee: "Oh, they will. This place isn't too large, right?"
Odessa: "You're right. Look!"




Salma: "Woo, this means I'm right, yes?"
Odessa: "Yuppers."
Min Hee: "Door to the left, laptop's on your right outside."







Salma: "Well... Here goes."




 *Salma puts in her Ranking*




Salma: "This is bologna. I'm basically allied with everyone out there, but it's all pointless if they put us like this."







Jason: "... I'm feeling so sneaky tonight... There's no camera the hosts can watch us on inside. A perfect opportunity to do something for my game..."




Jason: "If I go and sneak when her back's still turned..."
Min Hee: "HEALTH-E, you're next!"
Jason: "Oh!"

*Jason quickly makes his way to the corridor*







Jason: "Hmmmm..."
Lenka: "Yip yip!"
Jason: "Whhoa?"



Lenka: "Yip yip yip yip yip!"
Jason: "Yikes..."




Min Hee: "Is that?"
Odessa: "Oh crap..."
Min Hee: "Odessa?"




HEALTH-E: "Is there something I can help you with?"
Min Hee: "Have you seen Lenka?"
Odessa: "No, j-just go and Rank!"




HEALTH-E: "Okidoki."
Min Hee: "..."




Min Hee: "So, how did Lenka get here?"
Odessa: "I can't just leave her behind, right?"
Min Hee: "You just better find her quick, there's a no animal policy here."
Odessa: "How ironic in Appaloosa..."




Odessa: "There you are!"
Lenka: "Yip yip!!"




Odessa: "Have no fear, mommy's here! You don't want to be made into soup or something."
Lenka: "Yip!"




Odessa: "Lets get you back before HEALTH-E comes back, okay?"
Jason: "... That was too close..."




*HEALTH-E puts in his Ranking*




*Hector puts in his Ranking*




*Diane puts in her Ranking*




Edmund: "Do they ever update these pictures?"

*Edmund puts in his Ranking*




Jason: "They're all still in the game. It's always a possibility that one is the assassin."




*Connie puts in her Ranking*




Olive: "I'm pretty much just sticking the course and hitching my wagon to the people I always have been saying. If this blows up in my face, oh well."



* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
15 minutes later
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


Min Hee (through the intercom): "Hector!"
Hector: "Yes?"




Min Hee: "And Connie!"
Connie: "Oh?"
Min Hee: "Please go out of the restaurant. You will find your transportation there."




Connie: "Oh my!"
Hector: "What happened?"




Connie: "A limo!"
Hector: "For real? Awesome!"

*The two step in. The limousine drives away*



* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Limousine 1
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


Hector: "So, how's do you feel about that weird Ranking?"
Connie: "Hmm... I don't really know, er..."
Hector: "I believe it's just another attempt to stir it all up again."




Connie: "... Kinda.. But, err... why are you always talking about the game?"
Hector: "How do you mean?"
Connie: "Like... err.. You're protecting dolphins. How did you end up get to do that? Friends or family inspired you?"




Hector: "... You could say that, yes.. But it's not an interesting story. I don't consider myself too interesting for others, hmm."
Connie: "Okay."



* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Limousine 2
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


Jason: "Well, that was that."
Olive: "Yup. Time to go back and get some sleep."
Jason: "Yes... Although Janna's cooking was good in there."
Olive: "Jason Blackland, we've been through this already..."




Olive: "Mama Rox cooks like that, not Janna."
Jason: "Nah, the only thing she cooks is fried chicken."
Olive: "At least she has cooked on this show."
Jason: "Janna did too, to avoid Roxanne's chicken."




Olive: "Prove?"
Jason: "..."
Olive: "Inderdaad. We'll stop this for now, we look like kids."
Jason: "Hm..."



* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Limousine 3
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


*An awkward silence. HEALTH-E is thinking of a way to apologize to Diane*

HEALTH-E: "... Hey, is that Honey Darnell in that picture over there?"




Diane: "Probably."
HEALTH-E: "I still remember how she has helped out Connie."
Diane: "Yes she did."




*It's awkwardly silent again for a minute*

HEALTH-E: "We have to talk."
Diane: "No."



* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Limousine 4
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


Edmund: "..."
Salma: "So..."




Edmund: "..."
Salma: "..."


* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Limousine 3
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


HEALTH-E: "Diane, you really need to listen to me for once."
Diane: "What part of no do you not get?"
HEALTH-E: "I am able to understand the word no."




Diane: "Then please, could you act like you understand it as well?!"
HEALTH-E: "..."



* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Limousine 4
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


Edmund: "..."
Salma: "..."




Salma: "Hmm..."
Edmund: "..."
Salma: "..."



* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Limousine 2
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


Olive: "So, can I ask you..."
Jason: "Hm?"
Olive: "Are you the Assassin?"
Jason: "Err, no, I'm not. You?"




Olive: "Me neither. Unless I'm lying of course."
Jason: "Ooh, meta game?"
Olive: "Err, I guess so... What's metagame?"
Jason: "The game behind the game. Like sabotaging Challenges while you're not the Assassin."




Olive: "Isn't that just part of the game itself? To act suspicious so the Assassin won't Eliminate you in the first place?"
Jason: "... I think so- oh!"
Olive: "What?"




Jason: "Behind you..."

*Olive turns around*

Olive: "Wait... what?! Me?!"
Jason: "Oh man, I'm so sorry for you..."




Olive: "Dit is bullshit! I'm not even Nominated! I can't be Eliminated like this?!"
Jason: "Wait, you weren't Nominated?"
Olive: "No, and I'm pissed! They must've made a mistake!"




Jason: "Wow, that's harsh."
Olive: "I'm not leaving without a fight!"
Jason: "Yikes."




*Olive grabs her cellphone*

Olive: "I'll call Odessa right now and tell- Oh!"
Jason: "Whoa?"




Olive: "Oh man, you're out too!"
Jason: "... I guess we're both not the Assassin then... No more meta game."
Olive: "Not so fast."




Min Hee (through the intercom): "Hello Olive and Jason."
Olive: "What is this?! I'm not Nominated!"
Min Hee: "Calm down, Olive, and we'll tell you exactly what's going on."
Olive: "Hmmph."




Min Hee: "Olive, you were selected to be Eliminated at the fifth Ranking."
Olive and Jason: "Whoa?!"
Min Hee: "The Assassin technically Eliminated you at the Ranking after the Cowboy Challenge, but the season was planned to keep that person for one extra round."
Olive: "So... I was supposed to go yesterday already?"




*Olive looks back at the Elimination signs*

Odessa (through the intercom as well): "Yup. Sorry, my idea to plan it along."
Olive: "But why did you do that?!"
Odessa: "Troublemaking. Keeping you sharp and focused and alert. Sorry."
Olive: "Mmhp."




Jason: "So I was selected to leave in the Ranking of tonight, right?"
Min Hee: "Indeed, you were chosen to go tonight."
Jason: "Well, that sucks..."
Olive: "Ugh..."




Min Hee: "We're sorry you two had to leave this time around, in such a confusing way. But we were glad to have you on the show!"
Odessa: "And remember, we'll see you back at the Finale!"
Jason & Olive: "Bye..."




Odessa: "Olive Kropp and Jason Blackland, leaving as Eliminee 5 and 6 respectively."

Connie: "You're so closed about yourself. We're in this game for 10, maybe 11 days already, and I still have no idea on who you are."




Hector: "Sorry, I don't like it when people just go around and snoop into someone else's business. You wouldn't throw your whole life on the streets ready for anyone to read either, huh?"




Connie: "..."
Hector: "Hmm..."
Connie: "Oh, I just wanted to chat, learn some casual things about you..."

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


Diane: "Why did they have to put you with me, out of all people?"
HEALTH-E: "I think it is because of-"
Diane: "Don't answer that, my dear!"




HEALTH-E: "Why do you keep calling everybody you do not like 'dear' or 'darling' when you hate them?"
Diane: "That, my dear, is called sarcasm, my dear darling sweetheart."
HEALTH-E: "And that exactly is my issue: I am having a very difficult time to understand sarcasm. It is making my database dizzy. I need help to learn how to recognize sarcasm."




Diane: "Oh, that is bad for you."
HEALTH-E: "Could you please help me understanding sarcasm?"
Diane: "Hmm..."



* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Salma: "..."
Edmund: "..."




Salma: "Well, want to form an alliance?"
Edmund: "Oh... That sounds very... interesting..."

Front Deck
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *


Captain Dockhatt: "So, how did yer supper fill up?"
Min Hee: "It was good, thanks."
Odessa: "How was your night alone?"
Captain Dockhatt: "Not so much, matey. Just trolled some o' them 'Marsha Marshall' videos. Man, that lady's rockers."




Odessa: "Welcome to the MM-hater-club. Look around, grab a coke and relax."
Captain Dockhatt: "Ugh, me loves me so good ole whisky."
Min Hee: "Sorry to ruin the fun, but I think some of the Jetsetters are arriving."
Odessa: "Wow, pretty fast considering we told the drivers to gather here only 3 minutes ago."







Min Hee: "Welcome back, Diane and HEALTH-E."
Diane: "... We're first?"
Min Hee: "Yup. We told your drivers to just drive around town, until we got ourselves back here."
HEALTH-E: "So that explains why my route detector was forcing so many errors."
Diane: "Ugh..."




Diane: "Anyway, when should we expect the next few to arrive?"
Odessa: "Could be any minute."
Diane: "Oh well..."




Min Hee: "And there they are already."




Odessa: "Welcome back Connie and Hector."
Hector: "Yup. Do we have to wait here for the others?"
Connie: "Wait... Didn't we depart first from the restaurant?"




Min Hee: "Yes. But first you were just driving around aimlessly, until the hosts arrived here first."
Hector: "I suppose that makes sense."
Diane: "Oh no, not him again..."







Edmund: "Oh hey, we're late for the party?"
HEALTH-E: "Is there a party going on here?"

*Diane sighs*




Salma: "No, wait. Jason and Olive aren't here yet."
Odessa: "That's right. If you all could please gather over there..."
Salma: "Uh oh?"




Odessa: "Behold, my pupils are doing well."
Connie: "What happened?"
HEALTH-E: "I am interested as well."




Captain Dockhatt: "Olive and Jason won't be returning here anymore."
Jetsetters: "What happened?"
Min Hee: "Their limousine was heading to another destination instead of here..."




Odessa: "The Appaloosa Plains Airport, to be precise. Both Eliminated. Olive was selected yesterday already, Jason was picked after the restaurant Ranking, FYI."




Hector: "Wow, my buddy....... just, wow..."
HEALTH-E: "I never saw this one coming."




Connie: "Unbelievable... ..."

*Connie stays speechless*




Diane: "I must confess it's a bit of a shame Olive went. Jason though... No, not going to miss him."
Connie: "..."




Hector: "Sal, why the thinking pose?"
Salma: "Just thinking..."
Hector: "Obviously."




Salma: "Olive and Jason were both my buddies. Not only did we hang out, but we also shared informations and stuff. No offense, but I'd rather see Edmund and Diane go. They're the most distant people I don't have a bond with, so my game wouldn't suffer as much. And a bit of personal preference as well, too, yes. Hahah."




Min Hee: "And there's  more: after such a stressful day, we think it'd be nice to give you a bit of a day off tomorrow."
Captain Dockhatt: "Say nay to them Challenges, Rankings, Eliminations... Only thing coming up t'morrow is some special and different instead, landlubbers."




Odessa: "Who wanna have a Final 6 Party! Woo!"

*Odessa claps in her hands. Edmund and Connie look at eachother suspiciously*

Connie: "How can they be so happy after two were Eliminated?"
Edmund: "I don't know, but I don't trust this."




Diane: "Typical... The party-hard-culture has hit this game too..."

*Diane grumbles, then readjusts her position*

Diane: "Well, if these urchins want a party, I cannot stop them, but they just should know that I am no maid. They can clean up their very own rubbish, thank you very much."




Hector: "Finally, time for some rest and fun."
Salma: "Don't be sure about that. Edmund might have a point, there could be a snag hidden here."
Min Hee: "You're free to go now! Good night!"




Jetsetters: "Night!"

Edmund: "Praise the FSM Olive is gone! Away, out, gone, adieu, so long! She really started to get on my nerves the past few days.. For example, she got the jokes she was asking for and then went and grumbled like a plunger. About Jason... I think I'm not going to miss the man too much either. The guy's just slightly going cloudcuckoolander, if you know what I mean."




HEALTH-E: "I have been noticing Jason has been missing Janna a lot. I wanted to cheer him up. I have some programming inside my body that allow me to create AI versions of friends calling them "Alter Egos". But alas, he is gone by now. It is giving me negative emotions that I am too late with it."

*Min Hee yawns. She's waking up*

Odessa: "Morning sleeping beauty."




Min Hee: "Morning..."

*Min Hee gets out of her bed*




Odessa: "How was the night?"
Min Hee: "Quite good actually. I slept like a log."
Odessa: "That's good to hear."




Min Hee: "Yes it is. Today's going to be relaxing as well, we only have the party tonight."
Odessa: "Right."




Min Hee: "Although, I'm not really sure about the potato chips. Should we really go with cheese flavour? Maybe we should pick the bolognese after all..."
Odessa: "Then buy both. We have the money."
Min Hee: "That's true, but I do mind having too many leftovers. Things might get messy."




Odessa: "It wouldn't be so bad."
Min Hee: "Quite the contrary. I've had to clean up after many parties on the Luxury's Lap."
Odessa: "Hmmm... ... ........."




Min Hee: "The point is I don't know what's doing best tonight..."
Odessa: "Maybe you could ask some Jetsetters?"
Min Hee: "Yeah, that might work, yes... Thanks!"




Odessa: "You're welcome."
Min Hee: "And now the snacks."
Odessa: "Ask them. That way there's no worries."




Odessa: "And now, we'll just relax and enjoy some music, okay. "
Min Hee: "Sounds good."

*Odessa turns on the stereo*
