The Story So Far

It's now 10 players in Sting and 6 in Claw in favour of Team Sting Although Team Sting won Oliver and pulled him out of Limbo, he wishes he was in Team Claw, like he was before he sacrificed himself. As for Team Claw, not only did they lose their chance of having Oliver back to their team, they also lost Amie and Lizzy, as they were unexpectedly kidnapped by the island and sent to Limbo. In the final Limbo challenge, Lizzy outlasted Alex T in Rollin' Thunder. Lizzy hung of the huge spindle for nearly 9 minutes, Alex T not even lasting a minute. It was supposed to be 2 on 2 but due to Livvy's leg injury, she could not compete and Aime decided to step down so it could be 1 on 1. As a result of the Ultimate Jeopardy round, the winning team will gain Amie and Lizzy. As for the losing team, not only will they gain Alex T and Livvy, they will gain two secret power players as well as Alex has the power play "Freeze" and Livvy has the power play "Head Start". Either way, Team Sting will lead with 10 members to Claw's 6. However, with challenges still to come before the final escape, both teams will be stealing members of the other, allowing Team Sting to stengthen in numbers and a great chance for Team Claw to possibly get back Oliver (and maybe Amie and Lizzy, if they lose Ultimate Jeopardy and gain Livvy and Alex). Who will win the kidnapped captives from Claw and who will win the secret power players.
