Recap: In the previous chapter, the remaining contestants get to compete in the 13th challenge, which is a boxing tournament. Marcel has won the tournament with all of his strength, the rest who made it in round 1 are safe, while Molly, Rayna, Priya, and Ollie are up for elimination. Ollie is eliminated by three votes. Pierce tries to scare Ollie by eating the cookies.

That's what you missed.

Cain's POV

Thank god that I'm safe from the last challenge.

Even if I have skill issues, most in boxing.

Marcel: Hey.

Cain: Yea?

Marcel: About the boxing challenge, you did great with that punch.

Cain: How!? I did what I had to. Plus, I'm not good at punching.

Marcel: At least it's great with both hands. How about this? I'll teach you how to do boxing if that's okay with you.

Cain: Um... fine, *looks away from Marcel* only because I had an urge to kick someone's ass during the reunion.

Marcel: Family reunion?

Cain: Sorta…

Pierce: Is that the reason why you want to learn boxing? Just to kick your cousin's ass?

Marcel: Stop making assumptions about Cain you baked pasta!

Pierce: Baked pasta!? How dare you call me a baked pasta!?

Marcel: Isn't that how reheating the food works?

Pierce: I hate you! You stupid martial artist wannabe!

Pierce went to the cabin while sulking.

Pierce: When I catch you Marcel, catch you Marcel.

Marcel: I bet a toddler can make a fried egg better than you.

Cain: I didn't know that toddlers could do that.

Marcel: It's not true, I am just saying to make Pierce look like a dumbass. Sure, he's an "Italian chef", but he's dumber than you think.

Cain: Oh.

Penny: Time for the challenge!

Marcel: Guess I can teach you after the challenge.

Cain: If you say so.

I followed Marcel along with the remaining contestants to the exact place where we'd do the 14th challenge.

End of Cain's POV

When Adrian saw the small pine trees in the flower pots on the table, he decided to sing a song.

Adrian: Christmas! I don't want a lot for Christmas!

Capri: (Don't remind me of Mariah Carey, but I have to do this to make him happy.) There is just one thing I need.

Rayna: I don't care about the presents! Underneath the Christmas tree!

Cain: I just want you for my own.

Marcel: More than you could ever know.

Priya: To make my wish come true...

Molly: All I want for Christmas... is you!

Penny: That's right! Since it's December...

Penny: For the 14th challenge, you guys are going to design your own pine trees with all the materials in the box.

Rayna: Can we keep them in our cabins after the challenge?

Penny: Sure. You guys are going to decorate for about 2 hours so that you can make effort. The ones who break the fastest will be up for elimination.

Adrian: So you want us to put nails across the tree, so it doesn't break?

Penny: No! That is so wrong!

Penny puts the timer on her phone with speakers, so everyone can hear.

Penny: The challenge starts now!

Capri was getting some of the materials out of the box for her to design.

Capri: (Maybe ornaments wouldn't be bad. But what about ribbons? I don't know.)

Adrian sprays the white paint on the pine tree to make it look like it has snow.

Adrian: Good thing I kept this mechanical arms. Otherwise, I would've sprayed my face.

Marcel: This is easy, but where should I start? The top of the tree? Or bottom?

Molly: Oh no... this is the reason why I failed art class.

Priya: Are you alright Molly?

Molly: I don't know... this gives me horrible memories of a strict school... I don't know what Marcel is doing.

Marcel: What?! If I go from the bottom, it can work its way up.

Molly: So he can't decide?

Molly: (How can I help him? I'm not good at advice...)

Cain: Should I choose red decorations? It reminds me of Brynn... Or blue? I guess I'll go with both?

Cain got the decorations with both colors and decorates the pine tree.

Cain: (What about the yellow star? Does that help?)

Cain finds the star and puts it on the pine tree.

Cain: I'm finally done, I can't wait to show this to Bry!

Capri decides to use the colors, which are mostly red, blue, yellow, and green ornaments on the pine tree.

Capri: I think that's good. Oh wait, I forgot something.

Capri saw a different color of the stars. She picked the white star.

Capri: It's not a Christmas tree without a star.

Capri puts a star on the pine tree.

After two hours of decorating the pine trees, they heard an alarm playing the Christmas song by Mariah Carey.

Penny: It's time! Everybody hands up!

All the remaining contestants raise their hands up.

Penny checks their pine trees.

The first pine tree is from Marcel's and is decorated from the top part of the pine tree.

Penny: Why is it just half-and-half?

Marcel: I don't know where to start.

Penny: I'll give you an A for effort.

Penny checks the pine tree of Cain's.

Penny: What inspired you to pick red and blue?

Cain: It reminds me of me and Brynn being together throughout the years.

Pierce is looking out the window.

Pierce: Gay!

Penny: Who let this guy in!?

Marcel: Not me. I don't give two shits about that "Italian chef."

Penny: But the design looks interesting. I'll give you a solid B+.

Penny checks that the third pine tree is from Molly's.

Penny: How many ribbons did you cut for this?

Molly: Two long ones. I spent 20 minutes cutting them.

Penny: A Tier as well.

Penny checks the fourth pine tree is from Priya's.

Penny: Hmm... that's actually an excellent concept! And it's very well-made! It's an S Tier.

Priya: Yes!

Capri: Slay gurl!

Penny checks that the fifth pine tree is from Adrian's.

Penny: Is this everything?

Adrian: Yeah? (I'm surely up for elimination. I only like frosted trees.)

Penny: D tier.

Marcel: Rest in peace, Adrian.

Adrian: I messed up...

Molly: Hey, it's better than nothing you know. Don't feel bad.

Penny checks the sixth pine tree is from Capri's.

Penny: My god! It looks amazing! High A Tier!

Capri: Phew... I'm safe...

Penny checks the seventh pine tree is Fallon's.

Penny: Rainbow? Where did you get the materials from?

Fallon: The painting set that I have always brought with me since the beginning.

Penny: B for creativity.

Penny checks the eighth pine tree is Rayna's, which is the last pine tree.

Penny: Are these edible?

Rayna: They're not edible.

Penny: Good, because I don't want them to go bad. Middle A Tier.

Penny: Here are the results.

(Priya - S Tier
Capri - A Tier
Molly - A Tier
Marcel - A Tier
Rayna - A Tier
Cain - B+ Tier
Fallon - B Tier
Adrian - D Tier)

Penny: Since Priya has won the S Tier, she'll get the prize, which will help her with one of the next challenges. Once again, she can use it only one time.

Penny gave Priya the blank map and the pencil for her to write something.

Priya: Why do I need a blank map?

Penny: You'll know soon.

Cain: Then who's up for elimination?

Penny: You, Adrian, and Fallon are up for elimination.

Cain: I guess I did this for nothing...

Capri: At least it's better than nothing...

Penny: Viewers vote for one of the remaining contestants to be eliminated. The contestant with the most votes will leave the show.

Cain - A
Adrian - B
Fallon - C
