While Jake was still snuggled comfortably underground, the artificial voice proceeded to announce its verdict on his performance during this second trial.
[Congratulations Jake Wilderth for being the 7216th contestant to survive a night on the island in just 17 days, 0 hours 13 minutes and 48 seconds.]
[50,000 points for passing the second trial. 0 bonus points for not being among the top 5000.]
As he pulled himself out of the ground, Jake continued to pay attention in the hope that some potential exploits would be announced, but he soon gave up. If it was true that he had defeated a T-Rex, the only night he had actually accomplished a massacre was the night of his third attempt.
We're done with the preliminaries. I consider that the real fun of the Ordeal starts now. :)
