BT
--

Benjamin Thomas, better known as **BT,** was a contestant in season 1 of Chicken Dinner. He hails from Earth in the year 2020, though it is unknown which Earth and which 2020. He was the 5th contestant eliminated from Chicken Dinner, making it to just before merge. He had a strong strategic and social game which would've taken him to the end if he wasn't so stubborn.

At the Reunion, he'd earn the title of Trickiest Chicken for his strategic plays in Season 1.

## **Description**

BT is a 6'7" human man with dyed-teal wavy hair. Due to having albinism, his eyes are a pale pink and his skin is extremely pale and susceptible to sunburn. He has terrible sight, needing to wear glasses at all times. He is seen wearing several homemade knee-length coats with properties such as absorbency and soundproofing. He kept 4 scalpels in his pocket before giving them to Sea Salt Pearl, Rouge, and Marie, along with a lemon candy. He is rarely seen sleeping, so he often has bags under his eyes. He has several scars on him, the most noticeable ones on his face and neck. He is usually seen smiling with a nervous expression.

As the game progressed past his elimination, he grew a little bit of scruffy facial hair and his roots started showing. He was unable to shave without having his scalpel.

He started out as passive and socially awkward, ignoring most of the contestants' introductions in favor of eating snacks. However, as the season went on, he became bolder and more talkative, often taking charge of decisions in his alliance. He would grow to be more fond of social interaction, organizing a bonfire and a river day. He has shown to be incredibly perceptive and intelligent, albeit eccentric, being able to predict when Sea Salt Pearl would use her Free Range idol. However, he often over-complicates things, which would be his eventual downfall.

He has a violent streak to him, often threatening Sea Salt Pearl. Despite this, he could never bring himself to physically hurt anyone else.

In his confessional, he was more paranoid and self-doubting, often using the private space as his own personal one-sided therapy session. He usually vented about whether or not he made the right decision, often feeling immense guilt.

## **Game History**

### *Introduction*

BT tried not to make too much of a stir with his introduction, though he did have a speech prepared. He introduced himself as BT (despite his name being Benjamin) and stated that "under certain circumstances, I will not be holding back or showing mercy." He was overwhelmed by the warm response to his arrival, keeping note of who greeted him and who did not. This would be the groundwork for his close alliance with Alan Bloodryn and Marie. He was extremely enthusiastic about the arrival of fellow scientist Bianca Phalon.

He was put on the Yolkcurdler team with Alan Bloodryn, Crimsol, Bianca, Sea Salt Pearl, and Frenchy Morgan.

### *Main Course 1 - "Farm's Got Talent"*

In this challenge, BT crafted a device made out of mushrooms and broken glass to create a projection device, which would allow him to create multiple copies of his fellow contestants. His performance only received 7/10 for being less of a performance and more of a showcasing. With more special effects, according to the judges, "it could have potentially been one of the best acts of the night."

His team won the Main Course, sending the Shellsmashers to vote Mrs. Knobhead out at elimination.

### *Side Dish 2 - The Impressions*

BT actually did 3 impressions. He chose Bianca Phalon, Crimsol, and Ruth Bowen. Despite this remarkable accomplishment, BT did not show up for the second half of the Side Dish Challenge.

### *Main Course 2 - "The Chicken Protein Shake Festival"*

In this challenge, BT had to go against Marie in a surfing and pingpong competition. However, due to a misunderstanding in directions, both contestants believed they had to do two sports. This was not the case. He subsequently lost to Marie, as she stayed on her surfboard more than he did. However, there were no hard feelings toward Marie, as they both didn't know how to surf.

### *Side Dish 3 - Haiku'd Chickens*

This would be BT's first and only Side Dish Challenge win. As his reward, he got to choose the music genre that each team would use in their Main Course performance. He chose techno for the Yolkcurdlers and Christian contemporary for the Shellsmashers.

His haiku was:

***A vow in the dark***

***One's heart beating faster now***

***A blade cuts at night***

It's a poetic take on the pressures of voting someone out, with the votes being a blade and a vow being the confession.

### *Main Course 3 - "Idolatry"*

BT assigned his team techno, due to his knowledge of the genre. They chose to perform a techno remix of Journey's Don't Stop Believin', with the lyrics changed to suit Chicken Dinner. However, due to time constraints, their performance was rushed, giving the Shellsmashers an opportunity to win. In this challenge, BT remixed the song, Alan sang and played the guitar solos, and Frenchy created the costumes and danced on stage, even after being injured. Bianca did not show up, which led to her elimination.

### *Main Course 4 - "Pull Out the Weed Killer"*

His team won this challenge, in which they had to travel through a forest full of witches' houses in order to take care of the weed problem. His team only needed two hints to correctly eradicate the Crimsol weed. After winning this challenge, he gave his Scavenger doll to Marie, in fear of her elimination. He predicted that Sea Salt Pearl would use her doll, which turned out to be the Free Range doll, negating any votes against her. Marie would use this doll in order to vote out Rouge Manx. This would be the last time BT had any type of good luck.

Because of his arrogance in correctly predicting that SSP would use her doll, he indirectly insulted Smily Elemax, who took BT's words as a personal attack.

### *Side Dish 5 - Sponsored Eggs*

He didn't even really try on this challenge, stating that he was overwhelmed by the quickness of the recording and couldn't focus. Instead, he threw out a random number and did not win.

He was put on Team Ruth after the Scramble, with Ruth Bowen, Rouge Manx, and Sea Salt Pearl.

### *Main Course 5 - "The Truth-or-Dare-Athon"*

Despite having never heard of Truth or Dare, BT caught on quickly. His truths and dares were as follows:

**"Questions for Marie, which will be her truths.**

1. What is your fondest memory of Mirror?

2. Can you manage things on your own?

3. Will you ever let yourself have a remainder of a childhood?

*Now dares, which I know she'll have no problem doing.*

1. Light something on fire.

2. Blow up the chicken pen.

3. Reveal your darkest secret to one of your teammates.

**Questions for Alan, one of my closest..friends in this competition.**

1. What is *really* going on between you and Frenchy?

2. Were you planning on turning on your alliance at some point in the game?

3. If Elaine is found before the competition is over, what will you do?

*And now dares...admittedly, I can't really think of good ones so I'll just do random ones.*

1. Wear your performance costume for the rest of the game.

2. Act like a dog all day.

3. Get drunk and try to dance.

**Questions for Frenchy Morgan!**

1. Where do you go when you disappear?

2. What's a day in the life of Frenchy Morgan like?

3. What is your biggest regret in the game so far?

*And now dares, actually this is quite fun*.

1. Wear the color blue for three days.

2. Wear clothes when you swim.

3. Wear something you would never wear for five hours.

**And Elemax.....**

1. Are you ready to start playing the game?

2. Have you seen the truth about our fellow contestants now?

3. Are you happy being on your new team?"

*And dares for you.*

1. Try to do fire-spitting, as long as it doesn't hurt you.

2. Do your best impression of someone back in your home and stay in that impression all day.

3. Wear something Frenchy Morgan would wear for 24 hours."

His dares including proposing to Sea Salt Pearl, standing next to a beehive for 50 seconds, talking like Hatsune Miku all day, and saying 5 mean things about Marie. He also helped Marie blow up the chicken pen, providing the dynamite, which he made himself.

## **Elimination**

BT was eliminated after Team Ruth lost the Truth-or-Dare-Athon. Instead of honoring his agreement with Sea Salt Pearl and Rouge, he voted for Sea Salt Peal out of his own paranoia. He then voted for Sea Salt Pearl again, stating that he needed to know what would happen after a second tie breaker "for the sake of the game." Team Ruth was told to go to the barn and come up with a consensus on who was going home. However, due to a violent conflict between BT and SSP in which both contestants nearly attacked each other, a consensus was not reached. BT was chosen randomly between Rouge and himself to go home. His final words were "Typical Frenchy..."

## **Jury Vote**

BT voted for Rouge Manx and Alan Bloodryn to take 1st and 2nd place, respectively.

## **Relationships**

### *Marie*

Marie was one of BT's closest allies, forming a quick bond with her. They'd be together often, either at the Chicken Pen or the Nearby River. BT gave Marie his Scavenger Doll. He constantly worries about Marie, fearing she'll turn out similar to him.

During his elimination, he spent most of his remaining minutes comforting her, telling her that everything would be alright. Things would not be alright.

They were soon reunited in the Jury Lounge, spending their time mocking other contestants, burning various things in the lounge, smashing television screens, playing a ragtag game of Aggravation, and making conversation. He considers himself a father figure to Marie, finally being able to express that.

At the Reunion, BT would avoid Marie at first. However, by the end of the night, they were back to how they were in the competition. Marie would informally be adopted by BT.

### *Alan Bloodryn*

Alan was also one of BT's closest allies, the two bonding after being put on the same team. Alan was the first one to greet BT on arrival. They led the Yolkcurdlers in most of their decisions. They'd often be seen together at the Chicken Pen or the Nearby River.

During his elimination, BT told Alan to look after Marie and stated that "they had numbers."

After his own elimination, BT's opinion of Alan soured. He was most critical of Alan during the Jury Panel, criticizing his strategy, lack of action, and relationship with Frenchy. However, he did call Alan "a good ally and decentish friend" after asking his questions.

### *Sea Salt Pearl*

Sea Salt Pearl was BT's greatest rival in the game. They had opposing beliefs, often getting into violent fights. BT voted for SSP in the vote that would ultimately lead to his elimination. He ironically gave her the nickname "Wifey" after being dared to fake propose to her.

Despite their tension, the two could prove to get along during times of peace, though not without making digs at each other.

After SSP's elimination, tension seemed to have eased between the two, but not without constant bickering.

### *Ruth Bowen*

BT initially disliked Ruth for her hesitance to make alliances, considering her a wildcard when it came to planning votes. However, he enjoyed her stories and learning about the world she came from. However, as Ruth offered to take his place during his elimination, he grew fonder of her. After Ruth's elimination, BT congratulated her for making the smartest decision in the game. He even scolded Marie for splashing a glass of liquid on Ruth. They both shared their backstories to each other in the Jury Lounge.

### *Rouge Manx*

Rouge Manx was an interest of BT's from the start and he considered making an alliance with Rouge. However, this would never come to fruition. Of all the contestants, Rouge has the most respect of BT's and that is who he voted to win.
