Ok for real this time!

The cast is separated by season. Duncan, Heather, Courtney, Leshawna, Trent, Alejandro, and Gwen all leap out first. The second plane has Mike, Zoey, Sam, Dawn, Lightning, Dakota, and Scott leap out. Once they land they are separated into heroes and villains for this season. There is no Ezekiel joke as he never goes feral.

Chris introduces the challenge of the newly merged cast having to use baby strollers to bring diving team members  to the spa house. Divers can grab one key in shark infested waters and then be driven to the spa house to unlock the door. First key to do that wins.

The heroes have a way faster time deciding as Leshawna says she can easily push any one of them. The villains argue who should push. Lightning says he’s the most athletic and should do it while Courtney says she’s the leader which none of them agree to. Zoey quickly gets fed up and points out the other team is already starting to dive. Courtney says that as leader she nominates Lightning, finally letting it go.

Dawn dives first and is able to avoid being attacked as Fang is still on the island despite the toxic waste clean up. The two are happy to see one another and Fang calls off the sharks for her. Her key doesn’t work sadly. Next to jump is Alejandro who is able to charm the sharks into letting him get a key. His key doesn’t work either. Mike jumps to try and get Zoey’s attention, lamenting that she doesn’t seem to quite be herself. Zoey cracks a small smile at seeing Mike again. Mike is able to fend off the sharks with his personalities but his key doesn’t work. Zoey jumps in next when Lightning returns but her key also fails. Gwen decides to get it over with and jumps next with Courtney following suit. After them is Trent, then Duncan, Sam, then Heather, Dakota, then Scott who is also given a pass from the sharks. (He has no fear of sharks in this timeline thanks to Dawn’s intervention.) None of their keys work so it cycles back with Heroes maintaining their lead. Dawn and Alejandro’s keys fail again as do Mike and Zoey’s. During this time Leshawna and Lightning have been trash talking one another whenever they pass one another. On the ninth run things finally come to an end when Gwen’s key clicks and turns the knob! Chris announces that the Heroes win the first challenge and that the Villains will have to vote someone off.

But that’s not all. One member of the Heroes must be sent to Boney Island for the night. They will be allowed to search for the idol. I will roll each time to determine if the character finds it or not. At the latest it will be claimed by the same time it is in canon. If you guys vote off the character that secretly has the idol, they will play it and whoever has the second highest amount of votes will be eliminated instead.

With this in mind, who are you eliminating from the villains and who are you sending to boney island from the heroes?
