After weeks of consistent appearances in the tribal council, Nagar finally won an immunity challenge.
For the past series of challenges, Nagar was slowly losing its members because of continuous defeat. Deemed as a weak tribe, their opponent Sarmayee always gets the better of them in physical strength, power, and endurance. But in tonight's challenge, which is a battle of the mind and body, Nagar members showed that they can tough it up even without the large muscles, extraordinarily long limbs, and tacky, starch mouths.
In tonight's challenge, the castaways stood on a pole with their arms stanced like that of Buddha. But inserted in their elbows and hands were eggs. If it falls out, they're out. The tribe of the last castaway standing will be the immunity challenge winner.
Everyone thought it was easy at first. They were busy concentrating, trying to get their minds off the bitter cold and biting rain that fell right when they were doing the challenge.
But in the middle of the challenge, Richard started to wheel in different kinds of food. He brought in a bowl of macaroni soup, a plateful of biscuits, 2 big bars of dark chocolate, a glass of beer with pulutan, and a plate of bacon and ham sandwich with softdrinks. Richard offered it to them as a bribe. If they want it, they'll have to drop the eggs and give up the challenge. One by one, castaways fell into the delicious temptation. And so, the only ones left (and the last three standing) were Aubrey of Sarmayee and Mico and Solenn of Nagar.
Aubrey looked like she could still take on for another 2 hours. Her eggs still fit nice and proper in her elbows. Mico was doing well too although Solenn's was starting to slide out of her elbows because the rain made the eggs and her skin slippery.
Since Aubrey was the only one left fighting for Nagar, Richard offered her an immunity bracelet as a bribe.
Without any second thoughts, Aubrey jumped off the pole, dropped the eggs, and took the immunity bracelet.
John's ghastly comment, "Who would say no to an immunity bracelet?! Now we can't vote her out!"
Good for you Aubrey, your tribe mates were all planning to vote you out once you all reach the tribal council. (But honestly, I think you're much more useful than "Outcast" Michelle, or Pretty Trizia)
And so, for the first time since the merge, Nagar won an immunity challenge!
Big thanks to Mico and Solenn who fought all the way (3 hours and 36 minutes more or less) with uncracked eggs and sore arm muscles.
Now what to watch out for tomorrow:
Tension in Sarmayee can be cut off with a knife. With Aubrey having her immunity bracelet as a shield, who are they going to vote out?
