EPISODE SIX: COUNT UP

Contestants,

Congratulations on surviving six terminations.

Eight of you now remain following this evenings termination to compete in the next mission entitled 'Count Up'. This mission is a return of one that I set last series, but with some added 'temptations'.

Shortly I will begin to count upwards in increments of 10 (10 - 20 - 30 - 40 etc.). However each time I count up from 0 there will be a pre-determined number where I will stop at.

Your role during this mission is, as a group, to BANK points before I reach the pre-determined number to stop at. Each time I count up from 0 is called a 'count', once one 'count' has finished I will begin with another 'count' starting from 0. Each 'count' has a different pre-determined value of points. If you do not bank the points by the end of the 'count' you will not earn any points and will have to wait until the next 'count'.

This mission will test your nerve and your team working abilities, you will need to be on point if you wish to pass this one.

Anybody can bank points by clearly starting the word 'BANK' (caps or no caps; thats fine). However to maximise your chances of passing you will want to try and hold out as long as possible during each 'count'.

Once a 'count' has finished I will tell you the time your next 'count' will begin

Unlike last year's version of this game I will not be providing clues, however I will tell you that no single 'count' will go higher than 100 points and no two counts in a row will be the same (e.g. 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - END and 10 - 20 - 30 - 40 - END will not happen back to back).

To pass this mission you must collectively, as a group, bank 400 points. A prize will be up for grabs for the person who banks the most points individually.

Your first count will begin at 18:30

Good luck contestants

Oh I hate numbers tasks I'm awful with them

[Tregard]

I say we try for 50 each time?

[AnnieK]

Oooh....this will be interesting...

[Glenn.]

This sounds easy enough.

[Marc]

There will be a minute inbetween each increment.

[AnnieK]

As long as people hold their nerve and think of the team and not just the individual prize this should be fun....

Should we have a rota of who gets to bank do we think??

[Marc]

10 Points

[Marc]

20 Points

[Marc]

30 Points

[Glenn.]

We need to bank as much as possible. Whoever banks the most doesn't bother me tbh

[Glenn.]

I don't think anyone should bank any less than 30

Yeah, I agree. Although we should try for more tbh.

[Benjamin]

Is there a highest/maximum point?

I don;t trust marc with the first one, he won't go too high.

[Glenn.]

I was thinking the same

[Benjamin]

Next one cannot be 30 everyone, so nobody bank on 30 next time.

[AnnieK]

Are we having a rota then or just going with gut feelings?

Gut feeling but we should all talk before banking just to be sure.
