100/100 points were earned in the second mission, making the pot half-filled as of now. That was old news by now. However, contestants got a shock as soon after the quiz, they found Mitchell lying on the floor, shocked to death. What other terrifying methods will the Mole come up with next? And who will be at the receiving end?



Mitchell: "It sucks to be dead. And my death required so much acting and makeup. I don't know where exactly I went wrong, so it must have been bad luck. Oh well."

Daphne: "Mervyn, I've been looking for you."
Mervyn: "Yaah!"

Daphne: "You're not closing the door on me."


Mervyn: "Why were you standing outside the door so creepily? What do you want?"
Daphne: "I did some digging and I think you have what I want."
Mervyn: "What do you want?"


Daphne: "Your secret."

Mervyn: "Gulp! I don't have any secrets! I have nothing to hide. I'm the bastion of uprightness."

Daphne: "Hmm...that may be so, but I'm talking about the game one. You have a secret of a fellow contestant, don't you?"
Mervyn: "Oh. Oh!"


Mervyn: "But why should I give it to you so easily?"
Daphne: "Shrewd. What's your condition?"

Mervyn: "Erm...you find my secret first."
Daphne: "Fair request."

Daphne: "I investigated and it seems as though Mervyn owns my secret. I am curious to know what it says. So I struck a deal with him. If I find him his, he'll give me mine."

"Contestants, it's time to pack up and move. I hope none of you were too attached to Moonlight Falls, because we're moving to sunny Isla Pardiso next."

Andy: "We just touched down and I think I'm a little jetlagged. I can't believe it's still the same day though."

DAY 8

It is time for the contestants' next mission.

 Some of them have been assigned to be snorkellers, while some will be surfers. 

Snorkellers must identify which surfer is on which colour sail to earn 20 points.
However, if the surfer can identify who saw him/her, no points would be earned and the surfer earns a token. 
The surfer with the most tokens earns an exemption. 
Surfers can also earn 10 points by calling out a snorkeller's name without being caught, eliminating the snorkeller. Hence this mission is worth 130 points in total.
Snorkellers who do not get eliminated at the end of 90 minutes also earn tokens and they also get a token for eliminating a surfer.


The one with the most surfers eliminated could get an exemption too. If there is more than one snorkeller who eliminated the same number of surfers, all will get an exemption. Overall, the one(s) with the most tokens would get an exemption.

Mervyn: "I'm afraid of water. Don't laugh. This mission will be difficult."


Vanessa: "I think I won't be spotted here."



Scott: "I see a light blue sail, but I don't know who's there."


Mika: "That's Gigi with the red sail."


"Gigi, you have been identified. Who do you think identified you?"
Gigi: "I see a blue-haired woman over there so it's got to be Mika."


"Mika, you did not earn any points."
Mika: "What is that supposed to mean?"


Mervyn: "Just breathe...don't think about anything else. Focus on the crash course that was given."


Mervyn: "I'm staying close to land, just in case."
Scott: "Hmm...can't tell who that is."


Daphne: "Blue sail...who...perhaps it is Mika Blue?"
"Daphne, you did not earn any points."
Daphne: "It was a guess."


Denise: "Yo my fellow surfer! How's it going, dude? Or dudette?"



Daphne: "I swear, all of you are taunting me."



Andy: "How do I control the sails? I don't want to go straight in that path."


Daphne: "Someone is approaching. Who is that? It appears to be...blue sails, Andy Slam."


"Andy, you have been identified. Who do you think identified you?"
Andy: "I saw a few other sailers, and that looks like a redhead. The only redhead is Daphne. She saw me."


"Daphne, you did not earn any points."
Daphne: "Was it because I identified incorrectly or because he identified me? No matter. There is always another chance."

*
*
*

Mika: "Why did you motion me over?"

Scott: "We work together. We are restricted to some boundaries, and so are the surfers. If any of them pass by this area, even if one of us fails to see who it is, the other one still can help to earn points."

Mika: "I agree. At least we can eliminate each other. Wait, who is that? Crap, missed them."

*

Denise: "WOOOOOOYEAH! Can't catch me, bitch!"

Daphne: "That sounds like Denise. Denise Wildflower in the dark blue sail."

"Denise, you have been identified. Who do you think identified you?"
Denise: "I dunno. Probably Daphne or whatever, man."


"Daphne, you did not earn any points."
Daphne: "Not again."


Daphne: "But that's okay. There is someone stopping right by my doorstep. Mervyn Aubridge has the white sail."


"Mervyn, you have been identified. Who do you think identified you?"
Mervyn: "What? Okay, keep calm. I've been found out...going by elimination and deduction, I think it's whoever's there...is that Daphne?"


"Daphne, you did not earn any points."
Daphne: "It is a futile effort."

*
*
*

Mika: "It's a darker blue sail but who the hell is on it?"
Denise: "Can't guess who I am, dudes!"


Vanessa: "Yo! Come and find me if you can!"


*
*
*


Scott: "I don't see anyone...wait is that a dark blue sail? I need to get a closer look...damn it, the sail's gone too far for me to see."


Mika: "Was that...it went too fast. Probably was Vanessa in the dark blue sail."
"Mika, you did not earn any points."


Mika: "But who is that in the other light blue sail...is that Daphne in the light blue sail?"
"Mika, you did not earn any points."

15 minutes left.


Denise: "WOO!"
Daphne: "That has to be Denise in the blue sail. I just need to be more stealthy."


"Denise, you have been identified. Who do you think identified you?"
Denise: "This area looks familiar...must be Daphne at it again."


"Daphne, you have failed to earn points."
Daphne: "Am I really wrong?"


Mika: "It's a light blue sail...it went too fast. I hope Scott can find that smug brat."

*
*
*


Scott: "Wait, is that...looks like a guy. Is it Mervyn in the dark blue sail?"
"Scott, you did not earn any points."

Mika: "Come on, come on...oh, I know who that is now. That's Denise in the blue sail."

"Denise, you have been identified. Who do you think identified you?"
Denise: "Who did I see just now...hmm, Andy, can't be Daphne...I'm going with Mika."

"Mika, you did not earn any points."
Mika: "Crap."

Time is up. No points have been earned. Denise earned the most tokens, thus she claims the exemption.


Vanessa: "I think we were all more concerned about not being found or getting tokens that we neglected the part where we could also earn points. Such a wasted opportunity."


This season's a turbulent one, with yet again 0/130 points being earned for the pot, making it 100/330 points. It must be disappointing for everyone but the Mole, whoever that may be.
