This is a variant of the game show Jeopardy! Players will receive a list of Jeopardy! categories. Each category has a question from 200 points to 1000 points in 200 point increments. The more points, the harder the question. Players will look at the categories and select a point value of question for each category. Then, players will receive a question from each category. Get the question right, and you gain the points. Get the question wrong, and you gain no points. Your points will be averaged with your tribe. The tribe with the highest average will win immunity, while the two tribes with the lowest averages will attend tribal council. You have 48 hours to select your categories and answer your questions. Best of luck... For each 1000 question a player attempts, they will receive 3 acorns. For each 800 question a player attempts, they will receive 1 acorn. In the rare event of a tie, the tribe that attempted the most total points will win. If there's a tie still, the two tribes will go to a tiebreaker challenge. | Bug Bytes | Animal Names | A Sound Category | Chemistry | Fantastic Beasts | And Where to "F"ind Them | | 200 | 200 | 200 | 200 | 200 | 200 | | 400 | 400 | 400 | 400 | 400 | 400 | | 600 | 600 | 600 | 600 | 600 | 600 | | 800 | 800 | 800 | 800 | 800 | 800 | | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 | 1000 |

All results will be made public. Just to add some clarity to this: We will reveal what the result was, or how much money each player won. we won't reveal which ones were attempted. In the event of a tie, we will reveal what the total amount attempted by tribe was to break the tie. |

Please select your questions within 24 hours; you will have the remainder of the challenge time to answer them. Just a reminder for ease we'd like to have your category selections before the first 24 hours are up, which is about 5 and a half hours from now! |

Gather round, everyone, 'cause we have results! First of all, let's see how the Lords of the Land fared: Lion scored 400! Mongoose scored 600! Three-toed Sloth scored 1800! Grizzly Bear scored 2000! Hedgehog scored 2200! Genet scored 2800! Rat scored 3600! Bunny scored 3600! That's an average score of 2125. Will it hold up? Next, let's see the Earls of the Air. Elephant scored 800! Snow Owl scored 1000! Moth scored 1400! Dog scored 1600! Eagle scored 1600! Black-Capped Chickadee scored 2200! Kestrel scored 2400! Butterfly scored 4800! The average score was 1975. That's not enough to beat Terrestria; the Aeria tribe is definitely going to Tribal Council tonight. The other tribe attending Tribal Council depends on how the Sultans of the Sea did. If Aquatica scores lower than 2125, then they go to TC; if they score higher, then Terrestria goes instead. Here are the final scores...
Leopard Seal scored 1000!
Flapjack octopus scored 1400!
Frog scored 1400!
Axolotl scored 1600!
Shark scored 2000!
Capybara scored 2600!
Cat scored 2800!
Anglerfish scored 4000!
That's an average of 2100, which is just barely not enough! Terrestria wins immunity!
Aquatica, Aeria, both of you will vote somebody out of your tribe. Whichever of those two players does better on the Fitness Challenge will join Terrestria. The player who performs worse on the Fitness challenge will, uh, not be rejoining anyone.
