Cycle 6: The Reveal

[nyuguy]

We started out many months ago with 9 secret identities fighting against themselves to last in this game of endurance, self-reliance, and, let's be honest, a bit of torture. Two players were able to defeat all the odds and complete the final challenge, but one did it quicker. Congrats #5 on your impressive win!

Before we get to revealing the winner, let's start with revealing each of the other contestant released from their pods by cycle.

Cycle 1

Cycle One saw a bunch of plain white puzzles being put together. 7 competitors lasted the Treatment, one did not. Goodbye #8...

Spoiler for

SoundlyParanoid. You did well in the test but gave up with the treatment

Cycle 2

Oh the joy of the sound of cats screeching and nails on a chalkboard. Just a few of my favorite things. Three of my Solitarians were somehow able to sleep through all the cacophony and were asked to leave their pods forever. #7 was on the brink of elimination, but regained ground to make it to the finals! CONGRATS

Sayonara Numbers 1, 4 & 9

Spoiler for

Hal, Ballerboi, and Brendan

I really had high hopes for several of you. I think the final 2 may have been different had you withstood this Treatment.

Cycle 3

Letters and numbers and words, OH MY! The Cryptograms were definitely the strength of #7 - she was immune from my "NotPron" Treatment. Only 2 others attempted it - and moved directly into the final 3.

The 2 people who were eliminated are Numbers 3 & 6. Arrivederci.

Heaven - I your spunk at the beginning was enough to carry you though, but NotPron seemed to stump you. So sorry

BOTTLEITUP! Very surprised to see you go so early. I was sure your determination and excitement would put you near the end.

Cycle 4

And then there were 3. RuVal reared her beautiful head with what was appropriately called "The Gayest Challenge in TVFS History." Numbers 2 & 7 just couldn't find find that bodybuilder. So they had some pictures to sort the difference. #7 edged out his competitor, leaving #2 to exit Solitary. Hasta la vista...

Spoiler for

Peter! Impressive run, it was just a bit short.

Cycle 5 - FINALE

#7 fought his heart out and came out of the Ironman with a very respectable time. It just wasn't strong enough to take out the fierce Number 5. For getting so close, you deserve much praise...

Spoiler for

JAZZED! You finished all of my challenges and never had to press the red button. Time beat you in the end. Very impressive run.

The Winner

Now for the moment you've all been waiting for. Passing all of my treatments, the fastest, the person who will be heralded a hero for TVFS generations to come. Is!!!

Salut, #5 c'est moi! C'était un jeu très amusant et intéressant. Bravo Jazzed, félicitations pour devenir le vice-champion! Merci beaucoup pour le jeu nyu!

[Jazzed]

I knew it.. I knew it was you, Peter and me up against eachother in the end.. I knew you both were tenacious enough to keep on going at it (plus final 3 were all non-Americans, we found out).
I just thought it was Peter and me in final two but turns out I switched you both!! Really interesting to know who was behind who!!

Congrats Daniel on playing a great game!! Awesome and well deserved!!! I knew I screwed up on time but I don't think that would have mattered much.. How on earth were you able to find all those bonus-letter words? I was doing it by memory but I had trouble even coming up with the minimum amount we had to find..
No wonder you found the bodybuilder.. How on earth did you do that, too?? I must have spent well over 10-12 + hours over time looking for that damn dude...

By the way Val/NYU you left out my favorite challenge!! The scavengerhunt!!
I even earned a major benefit for that bodybuilderchallenge but even that didn't help.. I still have dreams of all those halfnude male bodies..

Great game NYU, really enjoyed all of it, unique concept!!! Thank you so much for hosting it!!
And well played by all of our fellow pods as well!!

[Peter]

Congratulations Daniel! You played an impressive game!
You played a great game as well Jazzed.

Thanks for the game Nyuguy. I've really enjoyed this game.

[Jazzed]

Thanks Peter, you played a great game too for sure!!
It came down to that mirrored boat picture, finding those differences definitely wasn't easy - could have gone either way for sure.

[coksy]

Congratulations Daniel! And also congrats to all of you who endured all these challenges and treatments.

[Acfan]

Congrats Daniel!! Solitary is one tough game to beat.. I imagine!

Well done Jazzed as well!

Great game Nyu!

[BottleItUp]

Congrats Daniel! If this isn't a well-deserved win, I don't know what it is. Thanks a lot for a fun game Nyu.

[kungfuhippie]

Congratulations Daniel! You too, Jazzed, for making it all the way to the end.
