The two tribes gathered outside Central Station in preparation for the fourth immunity challenge. If Wallabagunga lost, the tribes would be set for a merge, so there was plenty to play for in both camps.
The challenge?
'You are all to go out into Sydney on a regular Saturday night, and pick up as many women as physically possible. Use whatever means necessary,' said Chris, 'But they must be consenting'. (The two Bulldogs fans looked somewhat put out by this rule).
'At the end of an hour, a count will be done. The tribe with the most women here will win immunity'.
Since Sydney on Saturday night is no place for children, it's probably a good thing that Andrew was voted out last round....
The eight tribe members (with violent mysognist Roger Bossert opting to sit this one out) scattered off into the streets of Sydney, all of them intent on lassooing a woman and getting her back to the station as soon as possible.
Whilst experienced clubber Anthony 'Mr Charisma' Magro made straight for the nightclub scene, Dave McElroy went to the Belvoir Theatre in hopes of finding an easy theatre chick. Hussey was seen running for the nearest pub, whilst Al stuck to what he knew and bought tickets to the Bulldogs' latest home game.
In Wallabagunga Matt Lyons and Troy Haines decided that two heads were better than one, and immediately headed for a club together. Anthony McElroy made for King's Cross, no doubt in hopes of procuring a woman- whilst Mark Fowler calmly waited behind at the station. An odd plan, and only time would tell how it would work.
First to return to the station was Josh Hussey, who had two incredibly drunk women with him. Obviously confident that he'd done enough to earn his tribe immunity, Hussey took the two into a nearby public restroom. Chris was tempted to remind Hussey they had to be back by the end of the hour, but decided to let it go. Several minutes later the women emerged from the toilet, splitting the contents on Hussey's wallet. The unfortunate soldier stumbled, bloodied and battered, out to the nearby medical unit to be taken to hospital.
As the ambulance pulled away, Anthony McElroy turned up with a pair of women.
'When do we get paid?' a large woman by the name of Cecil hissed as they waited. McElroy was quick to slip the girls some money, and sat down to wait for the rest of the players to return. Fowler calmly looked on, no doubt unimpressed by the appearance of McElroy's two 'scrags.
David McElroy rushed through the arch ten minutes before time was called, bringing with him two aspiring thespians to level the score at 2 apiece (Josh's fleeing muggers didn't count unless they chose to return to the scene of the crime).
'Are you really Willie Mason's brother?' one asked with admiration in her eyes. Seeing his brother already seated, DJMaC rushed over to inform Chris and Anthony of his methods.
'I told them I was a director' he said with a cocky grin. He'd have to be the first person to ever tell an aspiring actress he was a director without plans to get a headjob or off them 'Feardotcom' style.
A rush in the next five minutes saw Troy Haines and Anthony Magro both press into the area. Troy had brought with him a lone girl, who was rather on the plump side. With a triumphant grin he informed the observers that she was pregnant.... with identical female twins. A quick consultation of the rulebook showed that there was nothing to prevent the inclusion of unborn children into the total. Wallabagunga went up 5-2. Not to be outdone, Magro introduced his three women. While they wouldn't lift their veils to provide 100% certainty they were female, Walker-Bush decided to allow it on the grounds that they were wearing skirts.
'But they've got beards!' objected Haines.
'Mate, all Lebanese women do' was Magro's response. Five women apiece, as Matt Lyons swaggered through the door at the head of a rather impressive congo line. While it took judges a while to sort out the real women from the tranvestites and transexuals, it was ruled that Lyons had brought four more women to Wallabagunga's total to place it at 9-5. It was as good as over, and Mark Fowler had yet to do a thing.
Chris Columbo's hurried entrance brought with it a solitary woman from Canterbury's latest raping of South Sydney (no pun intended) didn't do much to help the Boonta tribe- down 9-6 as time became scarce.
In a real twist, the two women who had mugged Josh Hussey suddenly returned, being escorted by a stern looking female police officer. Despite being treated for several stab wounds and a suspected concussion- Hussey had still managed to level things up at nine women apiece!
As the seconds ticked away, both tribes frantically looked around for one more woman to sway the results. Strangely, however, the station was nigh on deserted. With a calmness belying years of experience. As time drew closer and closer, Fowler calmly produced a pistol from within the folds of his jacket and placed a bullet squarely in the head of one of Hussey's muggers. While it was a noble gesture to avenge Hussey's status of clinically dead (declared only seconds before in Westmead Hospital)- the action also reduced Boonta's total to eight women.
While Magro insisted that a dead woman could consent (a claim at which several of his Boonta tribemates were a little sickened by), Al's submission was caught adjusting him/herself by hidden cameras and also ruled to be ineligible. Regardless of the ruling regarding dead women and consent, Wallabagunga had won immunity. Boonta would be going to tribal council.
Score: 32 to 29.5
TRIBAL COUNCIL
The tribal council articles from all five members of Boonta will be due by midnight Thursday.
The topic is: write on an issue relevant to rugby league today.
This is the same challenge set before Wallabagunga last round.
