Max Harrington: Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome back to the Miss Nationstates Beauty Pageant.  Up next, we have a talent segment with the young plucky Miss Canada! And yes folks, it actually is her this time. I checked with our writers, and they've assured me that the cue cards are indeed correct this time.  So give it up for Miss Canada herself, the lovely miss Geraldine Gerrickson!

The audience applauds as Geraldine makes her way to the stage, wearing a thankfully lovely, fashionable red maple leaf dress.

Spoiler

Max Harrington: Wow, what a stunning outfit Miss Canada! I must say I'm quite impressed by the use of maple leaves.

Geraldine: Thank you, it was something I made myself.

Max Harrington: Lovely, and I think the judges agree that is definitely a creative and fashionable piece.  Anyways, what are you performing for us tonight Geraldine?

Geraldine: I'll be performing the fine art of spinning plates.

Harrington: Wonderful, wonderful.  Please proceed.

Geraldine begins the process of spinning several plates on their balanced poles, but has trouble.  Several of the plates fall easily or shatter the moment they touch the tip of the pole, while one of the plates seems completely stuck...as if it was glued on.

Geraldine: This can't be happening, I swear these were working perfect when I was practicing...I don't know what could have happened.

Max Theiriot: Unfortunately, I'm not impressed.

Max Greenfield: Ditto.

Max Barry: Sorry kid, looks like that's a definite 0 all around.

Max Harrington: A disappointing defeat.  I'm sorry Miss Canada, it looks like you're not moving onto the next round.  But hey, thanks for coming out tonight.

confused and disappointed, Geraldine shuffles off of the stage as the camera follows her for a bit, as it then cuts to her camera segment

Geraldine: I practiced that trick night and day and perfected everything myself.  There was absolutely no way possible that it could have gone that badly.  I even checked my stuff before even being called onto the stage, and it seemed fine.  I'm pretty certain I was sabotaged by someone who was afraid I was going to win tonight.
---------------------------
Miss Canada, aka Geraldine Gerrickson, a contestant, was sabotaged during the Off Air segment, and was sent home.

That's 2 contestants gone, ladies, and 7 left.  It's time for you to get together for your next Collaboration Segment and discuss who you think should be sent to the stage for our Singing challenge.  But beware...the judges are pretty moody today after Geraldine's segment, so there's a high chance the chosen person will get sent home.

We'll conclude our Collaboration and go Off the Air on 6/4/2018 at 8PM PST.

Also, for you folks at home watching on TV, Elizabeth Taulover's questionnaire segment has been re-shot to fit her correct region.

DEAD

AVENGE ME.

We need to avenge our fellow contestants, so I'm going to vote for whoever voted out Taulover.

Vote: Doc

Honestly, we don't have any info, and I'd like to wait a bit longer to see what's going on.

I'll Vote: No Lynch this round.

I will also vote to lynch Doc.  He has seemed rather suspicious.

That's absolute garbage and you both know it. None of us had any information going into this, and the fact that when I randomly picked from the population with a 1/4 chance of hitting a Saboteur (since there are 2 Saboteurs, 9 of us, and I'm obviously not voting for myself which makes it 8 of you), I missed, is hardly worth lynching me over.
Particularly since there's only 7 of us left, and 2 Saboteurs in play. Recognize that that means if we lose just 3 people, we lose. I'd think it a much safer move to No Lynch and give the Watcher time to work - because mathematically here's what we have right now.

Watcher targeted Saboteur, information but no model collective - 2/7.
Watcher targeted regular contestant, started model collective - 3/7.
Watcher targeted surviving Fashionista, both in model collective - 1/7.
Watcher targeted Gerrick, making any information useless - 1/7.

What this means is that if the Watcher has any useful information - they have nobody who 100% knows for a fact that they're trustworthy, whereas if they have people in the Collective, they have no useful information. And so any dogpile at this juncture is actively detrimental to us because we're firing in the dark again - and while we have a 2/7 chance of making a hit, we have a 5/7 chance of digging ourselves a bigger hole - of which 2/5 of that will seriously fuck us if it hits the other Fashionista, or god forbid, the Watcher.

It's vaguely suicidal to do because my neck is already on the chopping block and I'm just kind of leaving it there, but I'm going to put my money where my mouth is and Vote: No Lynch.

Working with Doc last round makes me aware of what he's capable of, but I think I'll go with No Lynch.

Hmm. Strange. Camps seem to be forming.

I'll vote for Doc, I suspect that it will be very revealing.

@Pengu is the day phase still going?

vote North out of spite then

You are correct Tau.  I was going to end the phase last night because I was giving more time outside of just 2 votes.  But I ended up falling asleep last night, so I'll end the phase now, and post the results when I get home.

DEAD

Wait why was my name mentioned

My mistake, for some reason I confused Kane Lives for you.   

Alright, unfortunately I didn't have enough time this phase to prepare a phase-end sequence, so I'll just cut to it, and I'll edit something in when I have time.

2 voted to not lynch
3 voted for Doc
1 voted for North
1 didn't vote

Doc, a Saboteur, has been sent home.

And now it's finally time to go Off Air.

Remaining Saboteur, send me your target.  Remaining power rules, send me your choices.

This phase will end at 11pm on Friday, June 8th.

So in all likelyhood, going just by the votes avaliable, the other Saboteur is either Wintermoot, Red Mones or Hydra. I have a sneaking suspicion that I will not live the night to I'll just put that out there now.
