Week 9 - Fast Forward Competition

"Hello, HouseGuests. Welcome to this weeks challenge... it's not quite the House Ambassador competition, but is still just as important. By the end of this week, two of you will be going home and will turn 5 players into 3," Val grins. "If you want to stay in the game, you'll have to put it all on the line.

Win this challenge and you'll earn safety. Come in last... and you go home. Are you ready?"

Hey guys, due to some issues on the last challenge, the comp was made a dud and I decided to restart it. So here are links to the challenges:

Round 1: https://www.proprofs.com/games/puzzle/sliding/the-mad-house-safety-competition-round-1/

Round 2: https://www.educaplay.com/en/learningresources/3610174/mh4_week_2_pop.htm

Round 3: https://www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=03f3546c92f3

Please SCREENSHOT your final scores and send them to me PRIVATELY either on the forum, through notes or Skype/discord. Make sure to include the day and time in which you finished the challenge in the screenshot (Ex: 3:41PM on 5/23). It's easier to do this on a computer. I don't know if the comps are mobile compatible.

Note: For the educaplay, do NOT sign into your account and instead screenshot your score/time when it's done.

You have 24 hours and EVERYONE is eligible for this challenge. If you have questions, please ask.

"This competition will be played in three rounds. If you win the first or second round, then you will be safe from the threat of eviction. The loser of the third round will automatically be eliminated from the competition," Val explains. "The winner of the first challenge will also get the sole vote to evict between the remaining contestants that neither won nor lost. It's a big deal. So be ready to PLAY."

In Round 1, the HouseGuests each must complete a large sliding puzzle. Jamila and Quintin, as the nerds, are in their element and Rae is not far behind them. Ryan and Jay struggle with the puzzle and are lagging behind.

With Jamila, Quintin and Rae neck-in-neck, it was a close race but Jamila correctly finished her puzzle and won Round 1. "Congratulations, Jamila! You are the WINNER of Round 1 and have made it to the final three. Though you get the sole vote to evict, you will not be able to decide who it's between. Keep that in mind. As for the rest of you... on to Round 2!"

In Round 2, the HouseGuests must slip and slide their way back and forth through their lanes to fill the top of their jar with slippery liquid. This challenge requires focus and balance, but it's hard when you're playing on ice.

The contestants each rush to start, slipping down their lanes with their cups of liquid. Of the four HouseGuests competing, it seems Jay and Rae have the most balance, while Quintin is struggling and Ryan is flipping and flopping about. The time progresses and Rae and Jay are very close to finishing with Quintin catching up to the both of them. Ryan is trying hard, but at this point has no chance. In the end, the person to fill their bucket was Rae. "Congratulations, Rae! You are the WINNER of Round 2 and have made it to the final three. You will not get a decision in who is coming with you to the final three. So be prepared for anything!"

In Round 3, the HouseGuests will be playing individually and will have to maneuver mirrors to get a laser to hit its target. Ryan and Jay struggle at the beginning, but once they find their footing, they each quickly finish. Quintin flies through the beginning but ultimately gets stuck in the end and has to back track to find his mistake. Once he does, he finishes!

"Alright, the results are in... Ryan, you finished with a time of 5:23. Jay you finished with a time of... 5:43. Quintin, you must beat Jay's time to remain in the game. You got a time of... 11:22.

I'm sorry, but your time was not enough to beat Jay's time. Jay and Ryan, the two of you are safe... Quintin, you have been evicted from The Mad House. Please say your goodbyes to the HouseGuests. And walk out the front doors..."

- Quintin did not send screenshots but noted me the scores. (159 sec for Round 1, 1:08 for Round 2 and 11:22 for Round 3).

I averaged the scores to get the final results.
