Erik turn to look at the big screen, the names and image of each contestants was in it and beside it is their tallying scores.

" This here shows the viewers vote and the points of each mission you accomplished, totaling a hundred points. "

The contestants waited with bated breath as the tallying scores stopped.

[ Ding Dong! 60 contestants passed! Congratulations! ]

Twelve participants didn't make it. They all teared up but didn't let their tears fall, they did their best so no regrets.
