**Discord Server:** https://discord.gg/77MFAsjSJT

*The Island* involves a cast, also known as islanders, living in isolation within a discord channel under constant surveillance. They have a confessional room, one-on-one chats with other islanders and alliance chats. To survive the game each islander must be coupled up with another islander whether it's for friendship, love or money. The winning duo will receive the winning prize fund and one of them will have the ultimate decision whether to share or steal the cash prize.

### **Gameplay**

* **Immunity Challenge** - Islanders competed in several challenge as individuals or duos to win immunity from elimination and/or power in the game.
* **Islander Vote** - Islanders voted to eliminate or voted to save other islanders in the game.
* **Viewer Vote** - Viewers voted to save their favorite islanders as individuals or duos to protect them from elimination and ulitmately to win the game.
* **Re-Coupling Ceremony** - The coupling ceremonies where islanders decided to stick with their duo or to duo with a different islander. A random bot decided who got to pick. The islanders who did not get a priority pick at the previous ceremony got one at the following ceremony unless picked by someone else. If there was an even number, the last two picked would automatically form a duo. If there was an odd number, the islander left unpicked was eliminated from the game unless there was a twist. These ceremonies only took place in Phase 4.
* **Phases** - The islanders were told upon arrival that the game would split into phases, each phase having a different format.
* **The Rumination** - Islanders that were at risk of going into elimination for the given round often partook in *The Rumination*, a channel in which they would plead with *The Trinity* to save them from facing off in a challenge to determine their fate in the game.
* **The Dune** - Islanders that competed in an elimination round to stay in the game competed in what was known throughout the season as *The Dune*.

### **Twists**

* **Team Captain** - After the initial cast reveal, it was revealed that each season would two captains representing their initial Season. Each set of captains consisted of Winners or Runner-Ups.
* **The Chosen Ones** - Phase 1 of the game required each team to elect three of their own to become *The Chosen Ones*. These three islanders per team (twelve islanders overall) would be the only vulnerable islanders for the given round. The Chosen Ones would have to earn their safety through their team winning the team immunity challenge, being saved by a vote to save by the other immune islanders, or by winning the elimination for the given round.
* **The Trinity** - Phases 1 & 2 of the game had game-altering twist where only three islanders on the winning team would hold ultimate power. These islanders were referred to as *The Trinity* and would have the ultimate decision on which vulnerable islanders would be facing off in elimination.

Finally Ava, Annie, Darian, Ice, Marek, Parris, Rissa and Shaad entered the villa as **Team Halfmoon Island**, representing The Island IV.
Unlike previous seasons, the only one-on-ones available to the islanders were with islanders on their own team. The villa at first would be open to allow socializing amongst the entire group, but was later shut down allowing the team chats to commence.
Upon the separation of the cast, the format for **Phase 1** was revealed to the islanders:
1) An anonymous vote on which **OTHER TEAM** the islanders wanted to **SAVE** would take place. This vote would be used if their team were to win the immunity challenge.
2) Each team had to decide on three islanders to be "**The Chosen Ones**". These islanders could be decided by three volunteers - if not enough islanders volunteered, the decision would be put to a vote. If the team were to win immunity, these islanders would be in the most powerful position in the game. If they were to lose, these three islanders would be the only islanders on their team to be in danger of elimination.

After the set-up of the game had been established, it was revealed that the 8 additional bombshells would be the only islanders competing for their teams' immunity. These bombshells known as our Team Captains, and entered the villa later in the night. The captains for each team consisted of previous Winners & Runner-Ups returning to assist & coach their team to victory. The captains to enter the game were:
Bethany and Ryan, a winner and runner-up from The Island.
DaiJa and Dre, the winners of The Island II.
Barney and Den, the winners of The Island III.
Iman and Sophia, a winner and runner-up from The Island IV.

Additionally, *Team Half Moon Island* also had 3 volunteers amongst their teammates to be *The Chosen Ones*, therefore they also did not participate in a vote. The islanders that volunteered for this team were Ava, Parris and Rissa.

 **Winners**

 **Trinity**

Iman/Sophia were revealed to have won the *Knives Out* **immunity challenge**, winning immunity for the entirety of *Team Half Moon Island*. This meant The Chosen Ones on their team - Ava, Parris and Rissa, would become **The Trinity** and have power for the upcoming round.

 **Safe**

 **Safe**

 **Safe**

In addition to winning immunity, *Team Half Moon Island* chose to **SAVE** *Team Deadman's Island* from **The Rumination**, ultimately saving Angel, Vicious and Vinny from **The Dune**. The Chosen Ones from the teams at risk - *Team Necker Island* and *Team Bora Bora*, were sent to The Rumination. The vulnerable islanders were to advocate for their place to **The Trinity**. At the end of their time limit, The Trinity would then publicly vote for **ONE** out of each vulnerable trio to **SAVE** from *The Dune*.

 **Saved**

Ultimately, the majority of *The Trinity* chose to save Marks and Marwan from elimination. This would mean that Jordan, Kevin, Skylar and Sydney would face-off in the first elimination in the season either in randomized pairings or individually. The votes from The Trinity were as follows:

The randomizer bot placed Kevin and Skylar up against Jordan and Sydney in the first elimination of the season. The results were as follows:

 **Winners**

 **Eliminated**

Kevin and Skylar were crowned winners of the *Mastermind* **elimination** game; thus, Jordan and Sydney became the first islanders eliminated from The Island V. An island keen on alliances, the islanders had formed a total of 31 alliances by the end of day 2.
On Day 3, Round 2 of The Chosen Ones commenced. Before each team's Chosen Ones were revealed, the villa was shut down and all cross-team alliance chats were halted.
The Chosen Ones this round could not be repeats from last round. All Chosen Ones this round were volunteers.
Necker - Coulee, Maddy, Seven Bora Bora - Caitlin, Daija, Dara Deadman's - Aaliyah, Barney, Skie Half Moon - Annie, Darian, Shaad
The third Immunity Challenge was a team challenge. It required 8 members from each team to step up and face off in a 1-vs-1-vs-1-vs-1 jigsaw matchup challenge. They were given the option to compete at puzzles of varying difficulties, starting with 16 pieces and ending in 132 pieces.
Islanders were given until Day 4 to complete the challenge.

Day 4 began with the results of the puzzle immunity challenge. Coulee decided to withdraw from the Island overnight, which affected some of the results and events following.
Deadman's Island won the puzzle challenge, giving the team immunity and turning their Chosen Ones (Aaliyah, Barney, and Skie) into The Trinity for this round. Deadman's Island voted to share immunity with Half Moon Island, thus leaving Maddy and Seven of Necker Island and Caitlin, Daija, and Dara of Bora Bora Island vulnerable. These Islanders and The Trinity were sent to The Rumination, where The Trinity would vote to save one islander from Necker and two from Bora Bora.
Deadman's Trinity voted unanimously: saving Maddy from Necker, and Daija and Dara from Bora Bora. This left Seven and Caitlin vulnerable; the two were sent to The Dune face off in the next elimination. (Due to Coulee's exit, there would only be one elimination).
The day ended with the villa being reopened and cross-team alliances being reunited.
The islanders had a total of 32 alliances (21 of which were cross-team) intact by the end of day 4.

Day 5 began with Caitlin and Seven's face-off in the Dune. In a swift victory, Caitlin won safety, meaning Seven would be eliminated.
The villa and all cross-team alliances were shut down at 1pm, with islanders and teams being left to lock down their Chosen Ones and safety votes.
All Chosen Ones this round were volunteers.
Necker - Kevin, Marwan, Emily
Bora Bora - Divine, Jazelle, Robbie
Deadman's - Den, Liv, Zoey
Half Moon - Marek, Ice, Parris
The immunity challenge given to the Chosen Ones this round was a team challenge: each team would have to complete a relay (locating numbers in an image, cracking the code created by the numbers, using the code to complete a puzzle) in order to compete for immunity. The results were as follows:
4th place - Deadman's Island
3rd place - Half Moon Island
2nd place - Necker Island
1st place - Bora Bora Island
Bora Bora won immunity for their Chosen Ones (thus turning them into The Trinity) and decided to save Necker Island. This left the Chosen Ones of Deadman's Island and Half Moon Island vulnerable for elimination. They were sent to The Rumination to plead their cases to The Trinity. A total of 2 islanders would be saved by The Trinity, one from each island, and the remaining 4 would compete in a challenge to keep their place.

Day 6 began with the results of The Rumination. The Trinity decided to save Liv from Deadman's and Marek from Half Moon. This left Den, Zoey, Ice, and Parris at risk of elimination. The four would compete in duos (Parris vs Zoey, Den vs Ice) in a live challenge. Den and Zoey won their respective match-ups, thus ELIMINATING Parris and Ice from The Island.
At the end of the day, all teams were asked to begin voting/volunteering for the last round of Chosen Ones (after this next round, Phase 1 of the game would be COMPLETE and Islanders would move on to Phase 2).

Day 7 began with the final Chosen Ones line-up.
Necker - Avery, Maddy, Ryan
Bora Bora - Daija, Marks, Skylar
Deadman's - Aaliyah, Nick, Vinny
Half Moon - Darian, Iman, Rissa
Immunity Challenge #7 was a team competition where each team submitted 6 members to compete in 1-v-1-v-1-v-1 match-ups with the other teams. The challenge, Odd One Out, had three rounds in which an image would be sent and players would compete to find a hidden symbol the fastest. The team with the most points would win immunity, and save another team, leaving the Chosen Ones of the last two teams vulnerable.

Day 8 gave the results of the Odd One Out immunity challenge:
A victory for Bora Bora was established, who voted to save Necker Island. This made the Chosen Ones of Bora Bora (Daija, Marks, Skylar) The Trinity for this final round, and the Chosen Ones of Deadman's (Aaliyah, Nick, Vinny) and Half Moon (Darian, Iman, Rissa) were sent to The Rumination to plead their case to The Trinity.
After hearing their pleas, The Trinity unanimously voted to save Vinny from Deadman's and Iman from Half Moon. This meant the four remaining Chosen Ones would compete in a 2-v-2 elimination (Darian and Aaliyah vs. Rissa and Nick).

Day 9 marked the end of Phase 1 and the beginning of Phase 2.
The 2v2 elimination challenge of Spleef was incredibly close. Rissa was eliminated first, shortly followed by Aaliyah's elimination. The fate of the elimination was left in the hands of Darian and Nick. By a margin of TWO squares, Nick secured a victory for himself and Rissa, meaning Darian and Aaliyah would be sent home.
The ELIMINATION of Aaliyah and Darian marked the final step of Phase 1.
Phase 2 would take the original four teams and split them evenly (2 from Necker, 2 from Bora Bora, 3 from Deadman's, and 3 from Half Moon) among THREE NEW TEAMS:
Kaibu Island - Angel, Annie, Caitlin, Dara, Marwan, Robbie, Ryan, Shaad, Skie, Zoey
Nayau Island - Ava, Avery, Barney, DaiJa, Den, Iman, Jazelle, Maddy, Rissa, Vicious
Vatoa Island - Divine, Emily, Kevin, Liv, Marek, Marks, Nick, Skylar, Sophia, Vinny
Unless stated otherwise, communication was exclusively allowed within the new teams. Like the previous round, the villa and cross-villa alliances would be opened from time to time.

Day 10 revolved around the first immunity challenge of Phase 2: a team Scavenger Hunt. Each team was given a 129 item spreadsheet to fill out together through pictures and videos. Each islander had to complete a minimum of 3 tasks in order for their team to qualify. The highest scoring team would select their Trinity via public vote, and the other two teams would be sent to The Rumination. Islanders were given until Day 11 to complete the challenge.

Day 11 marked the end of the scavenger hunt:
3rd place: Kaibu
2nd place: Vatoa
1st place: Nayau
The Trinity, via public vote, was Daija, Jazelle, and Maddy.
The Islands of Kaibu and Vatoa had to anonymously vote one of their own into elimination, while The Trinity was tasked with voting for one islander from each island to gift immunity to, and one from each island to make vulnerable.
The Trinity voted unanimously to save Robbie (K) and Divine (V).
The Island votes placed Marwan (K) and Marks (V) up for elimination. The Trinity vote placed Annie (K) and Nick (V) up for elimination.
The immunity challenge for these 4 islanders would be posted on Day 12.

Day 12 was to begin with the elimination results, but Father Prod (Brad) fell asleep so the Islanders got to spend another night on the island.

Day 13 began the elimination results. Winners wete given the option to stay on their original team, or switch to their opponent's team.
Marwan vs. Nick: NICK WINS, decides to STAY on VATOA.
Annie vs. Marks: MARKS WINS, decides to STAY on VATOA.
This meant Kaibu's challengers, Marwan and Annie, were ELIMINATED.
The remaining islanders were then faced with Immunity Challenge #11: Averaged Out. Islanders would be competing individually, but their score would be contributing to their team's AVERAGE SCORE. Due to Kaibu's reduced ranks, Nayau and Vatoa would each need two islanders to sit out of the challenge. The team with the HIGHEST AVERAGE would win immunity and three of their members would become The Trinity, sending the other two teams to The Rumination. Islanders were given until the next morning to complete the challenge.
Sit-outs:
Nayau: Avery, Den
Vatoa: Divine, Emily
Note: by this point in the game, 61 alliances had been formed (53 cross-villa).

Day 14 began with the results of Immunity Challenge #11.
3rd place - Nayau
2nd place - Kaibu
1st place - Vatoa
The Trinity this round was formed by the three highest performing players on Vatoa: Sophia, Vinny, and Nick. The losing teams were tasked with voting one of their players into elimination, while The Trinity was to vote for one player on each island to grant immunity to, as well as players to send to elimination.
The Trinity immunity vote: Ava (N), Angel (K)
Nayau elimination vote: Jazelle
Kaibu elimination vote: Shaad
The Trinity elimination vote: DaiJa (N), Robbie (K)
The elimination match-ups became DaiJa vs Robbie and Jazelle vs Shaad. Islanders would have until Day 15 to complete the challenge and fight for their spot moving forward.

The islanders were given a **break-day** therefore no events took place on this day.

Day 16 marked the final TEAM immunity challenge of the season: The Great Escape. Teams were tasked with dividing up members to complete one section the three-part challenge: Mazes (2 people), Relics (3 people), and Words (2 people).
3rd place: Kaibu
2nd place: Nayau
1st place: Vatoa
The final Trinity for Vatoa was decided by a viewer vote. The islanders with the most votes were Sophia, Emily, and Divine. Teams were tasked with voting to send one of their own into elimination, while The Trinity was to choose an islander from each team to send to elimination, and one to grant immunity to.
Day 16 marked the final full day of Phase 2, as Phase 3 would begin the evening of Day 17.

Day 17 was the final day of Phase 2. The results of the elmination votes were as follows:
Trinity immunity vote: Ryan (K), Iman (N)
Kaibu elimination vote: Angel
Nayau elimination vote: Maddy
Trinity elimination vote: Zoey (K), Vicious (N)
The match-ups for elimination were Angel vs Maddy, and Vicious vs Zoey. Angel and Maddy won, which meant Maddy and Vicious were ELIMINATED.
After the elimination, the islanders competed in their FIRST individual immunity challenge: Who Wants Pie? The challenge required islanders to eliminate each other by pie-ing them. Marek and Nick won, meaning they were now immune.
Unbeknownst to our players, their pie choices would decide their duos going into Phase 3 - the biggest twist of the season to date. The new Phase 3 duos were as follows:
Marek / Vinny (immune)
Caitlin / Iman
Daija / Ryan
Emily / Vicious
Divine / Sophia
Marks / Rissa
Kevin / Liv
Ava / Skie
Angel / Dara
Avery / Skylar
Barney / Shaad
Den / Vinny

On Day 18, it was revealed that the duo with the most elimination votes was Barney / Shaad. However, the duo was told WHO voted for them, and from that list they would call out another duo to face-off with:
Marek / Nick (immune)
DaiJa / Ryan
Caitlin / Iman
Avery / Skylar
Barney and Shaad chose to call out Avery and Skylar, who competed in a round of BULLSEYE. With a perfect score, Avery and Skylar won the immunity challenge. Thus, Barney and Shaad were ELIMINATED.
Immunity challenge #17, face morph, was posted shortly after and Islanders were given until the next day to complete it in their duos.

Day 19 Den and Vinny were crowned the winners of the Face Morph immunity challenge.
With their victory, Den and Vinny secured IMMUNITY for themselves as well as a DOUBLE VOTE in the House Rumination vote.
For the House Rumination, duos would vote another duo (aside from Den / Vinny) into elimination. Votes would be revealed IF duos contributed to the winning/majority vote; otherwise their choice would remain hidden. Islanders were given until Day 20 to lock in their vote.

Day 20 began with results from the house Rumination. With the most votes, Emily / Vicious were sent into elimination. The following votes sent them in:
Marks / Rissa
Angel / Dara
Viewers
Emily and Vicious were tasked with calling out one of the duos that voted them in (excluding the Viewers, of course). They chose to call out Angel / Dara, and the four were sent to The Dune to compete for their spot on the island.

On Day 21, the results of immunity challenge #18, Calculating Phrases, were as follows:
Angel / Dara: 14 m 56s
Emily / Vicious: 9m 52s
With this victory, Emily and Vicious secured their spot on the Island, while Angel and Dara were ELIMINATED.
Following the elimination, immunity challenge #19 was revealed: the infamous Touchy Subjects. In this round, the first half (honest answers) would be completed individually, while the latter half (majority answers) would be completed in duos. Every correct majority guessed would grant duos a point; the duo with the most points would become immune while the rest of the house would be at risk the next evening.

On Day 22, the results of Touchy Subjects were revealed and Divine & Sophia were crowned the winners. With their victory, Divine and Sophia won immunity and were granted a double vote in the House Rumination. Emily and Vicious would be immune from elimination as they held the relic.
For the Rumination, duos once again had to select a vulnerable duo to send to elimination. They were given until Day 23 to lock in their votes.

Day 23 began with results of the House Rumination. With the viewer vote as a tie-breaker, Den / Vinny were sent to elimination. However, the duo that voted for them was Divine and Sophia (who had a double vote this round), and due to their immunity and the inability for the viewers to be challenged, Den and Vinny were given the opportunity to call out ANY of the non-immune pairs:
Den and Vinny swiftly decided to call out DaiJa and Ryan, and all four were sent to the Dune to compete for their spot on the Island. Their challenge would take place on Day 24.

On Day 24, Den and Vinny faced off with DaiJa and Ryan in a game of Battleship. After a very close game, DaiJa and Ryan emerged victorious and Den and Vinny were thus ELIMINATED.
Following the elimination, the Islanders were presented with the final immunity challenge of Phase 3: The Concept, in which duos would have to come up with a logo and format for The Island VI.

Day 25 bore the results of The Concept with Divine & Sophia being crowned the victors.
With another victory under their belts, Divine and Sophia won immunity for this round (alongside DaiJa and Ryan who had the relic), and would be granted a double vote in the House Rumination. The Rumination would take place on Day 26.

Day 26 began with results of the House Rumination. With the most votes, Ava / Skie were sent to elimination. However, the duos that voted for them were Divine and Sophia (who were immune) and DaiJa and Ryan (who held the relic), thus Ava / Skie were unable to call-out their voters. They instead were given the opportunity to call out a duo from the non-immune pairs:
Avery / Skylar
Caitlin / Iman
Emily / Vicious
Kevin / Liv
Marek / Nick
Marks / Rissa
Ava and Skie decided to call out Avery and Skylar, and all four were sent to the Dune to compete for safety.

On Day 27, the islanders in The Dune competed in immunity challenge #22: The Climb. Ava and Skie emerged victorious. As the final elimination of Phase 3, this elimination would only affect ONE of the two vulnerable islanders: Avery and Skylar. By Day 28, the remaining islanders would vote to eliminate one islander from this duo. Then Phase 4 would commence, beginning with a re-coupling.

On Day 28, by a vote of 12-2, Skylar was ELIMINATED and Avery's spot on the Island was secured. With Skylar's elimination, Phase 3 was completed. Phase 4 commenced with a re-coupling:
Emily chose Sophia
Skie chose Marks
Vicious chose Nick
Avery chose DaiJa
Marek chose Rissa
Liv chose Ava
Ryan chose Kevin
Iman chose Caitlin
Left without a duo, Divine was thus ELIMINATED from the island.

On Day 29, the islanders learned that the viewers had been voting for their favorite duos. The three duos with the lowest votes would be left vulnerable. The top 5 duos from the vote were (in no particular order):
Iman / Caitlin
Marek / Rissa
Marks / Skie
Ava / Liv
Avery / DaiJa
This meant Emily / Sophia, Ryan / Kevin, and Vicious / Nick were all at risk. The islanders were then tasked with voting for ONE islander from each duo to save:
By a vote of 11-3, Nick was SAVED.
By a vote of 8-6, Kevin was SAVED.
By a vote of 12-2, Sophia was SAVED.
This meant Emily, Ryan, and Vicious were all at risk of elimination. By a vote from the viewers for their favorite individuals, Vicious was SAVED. This meant Emily and Ryan would be ELIMINATED.

Day 30 began with a house vote for each player's 2 favorite and 2 least favorite islanders. Every vote for a favorite was worth +1, while every vote for a least favorite was worth -1. The top 3 islanders would be granted power, while the bottom 3 would be left vulnerable. Sophia, Iman & Nick were the trinity while Skie, Marks & DaiJa were deemed vulnerable.
With this vote, Sophia, Iman, and Nick were granted the power to vote to save either Skie, Marks, or DaiJa from elimination.
Iman voted to save Marks.
Nick voted to save Skie.
Sophia voted to save Skie.
This meant Marks and DaiJa would head to The Dune. With a vote from the viewers DaiJa was SAVED, meaning Marks was ELIMINATED.

Day 31 began with a recoupling:
Nick chose Sophia
Caitlin chose Iman
Kevin chose Vicious
DaiJa chose Avery
Rissa chose Marek
Ava chose Liv
Left without a duo, Skie was ELIMINATED.

Because Kevin / Vicious and Avery / DaiJa were tied for second to last place, their tie was broken by the average scores of the two safe duos (Ava / Liv and Caitlin / Iman). With a new average of 2.33, Avery and DaiJa were SAFE. This meant Nick, Sophia, Kevin, and Vicious were up for elimination. They were sent to The Dune, where one islander from each duo would be eliminated.

On Day 32, the results of Pole Wrestle revealed that Sophia and Vicious had won their respective match-ups, meaning Nick and Kevin would be ELIMINATED.
After winning their challenged, Sophia and Vicious were told to select teams:
Sophia chose Iman, Marek, Caitlin, and Avery
Vicious chose Ava, DaiJa, Liv, and Rissa
It was then revealed that these groups would be used in a callback to split groups from the OG season mixed with anonymous week. From this point forward islanders could only communicate within their groups. By the end of the round there would be an elimination from each group.
Each group would compete in two anonymous immunity challenges. The winner of the first would nominate two islanders in their group to be vulnerable. The winner of the second (who could not be the same winner as the first) would select an islander to make safe. If one of the vulnerable islanders is selected, the first winner will make a new islander vulnerable in their place. The end of the rounds would result in two vulnerable islanders per group, and the safe islanders would vote to eliminate one of them.

On Day 33, islanders in each group completed their first anonymous immunity challenge, Just Dance:
Sophia's team: Avery won, and made Caitlin and Iman vulnerable
Vicious's team: Rissa won, and made Liv and Ava vulnerable
The teams were then tasked with completing the next immunity challenge, Twists and Turns, by Day 34.

Day 34 began with the completion of the immunity challenge, Twists and Turns.
Sophia's team (The Villa): Sophia won, and saved Iman. Thus Avery had to nominate a new islander to make vulnerable; he chose MAREK.
Vicious's team (Casa Amour): Liv won, saving herself. Thus Rissa had to make a new nomination; she chose VICIOUS.
With the nominations finalized (Marek vs Caitlin, Vicious vs Ava), each group was tasked with voting off one of their vulnerable islanders.
By a vote of 2-0, Marek was SAFE.
Ava and Vicious tied at 1-1, thus the first immunity winner (Rissa) would decide their fate. Rissa voted to SAVE Vicious.
Thus Ava and Caitlin were ELIMINATED, and the islanders headed to the firepit for the final recoupling of the season.
Iman chose Sophia
Vicious chose Liv
Marek chose Rissa
Avery and DaiJa remained a duo
The Final 8 were given the FINAL immunity challenge, Impending Dune, to complete by Day 35.

Day 35 began with the results of the season's final immunity challenge.
4th place: Liv / Vicious (vulnerable)
3rd place: Marek / Rissa (vulnerable)
2nd place: Avery / DaiJa (vulnerable)
1st place: Sophia / Iman (safe)
At the mercy of a viewer vote, four out of the six vulnerable islanders would be SAFE if they scored enough votes for favorite islander.
With the fewest votes, Liv and Avery were ELIMINATED.
This meant DaiJa and Vicious would be paired together for the finale.
The FINAL THREE PAIRS (Sophia / Iman, Marek / Rissa, DaiJa / Vicious) were tasked with sending their final plea to the Viewer's Lounge while they awaited their fate in the finale.
