Confusion and Competition in Game Show

Good night, Liam. Wait, we're done already? Yeah, 6.30. Oh dang. You not looked at me with the dumbest look you could possibly... Haha, uh, um, uh, where am I? What am I gonna do? I don't have my phone or anything, I can't contact anybody, this is just, uh, this is just so new to me and I can't... Seriously, already? It's only been like two hours... I don't even know where I am, I don't even know what's up, it's just... This isn't real. This isn't real. You seriously think I'm gonna forgive you? I hope you rot in a dumpster, you filthy piece of gar... What the-AHH! Hello, contestants. My name is... Sorry. Is this better? Hello contestants, I am your host, Aerie, and welcome to this competition called one... Please don't tell me... We're on a game show with an invisible host in the middle of nowhere. Great. One? Is that an acronym or something? Yeah, it stands for-Where are we? Uh, you're on the plane. Here to compete in my competition called One. Why are we here? You're here to compete in my competition called One. No, I get that. But why us, specifically? You six are here specifically to compete in my competition. Call one. Are you gonna give us a straight answer or not? Enough chit chat. Let's take a look at your new names. Wait, new names? I should probably drop it softer next time. These are your names for the competition. Please call each other them accordingly. My name is Taylor. How do you like your new name, magazine? What is wrong with this guy? So do I. Is he serious? Moldy? Hm, creative. Are these names just based on our objects? Yes, it makes it easier to remember. Just use our real names. This is stupid, take me- back. Wait, don't you want to win the competition? I don't care. Why should any of us care? I have work tomorrow at nine and I need to pay my rent. I can't be standing here playing your stupid contest in whatever the heck this place is. You wouldn't even want to stay for the chance to win a prize? What kind of prize would be worth taking us from our lives to play a little competition like some sort of mentally deranged serial killer? One wish for anything you could possibly imagine. riches, immortality, whatever your heart desires. It's going to take a lot more convincing than that to make me want to stay. When does the contest start? Stand back, please Tomato get out of there What happened what just happened I regenerated him. Or, respond him is a better term. Wait, so we can't die here? Yes. As long as you're here, you can't die. We can't die? Yes, that's what I just said. That's reassuring. Wait, was that sarcasm? This challenge is simple. Don't hit the ground. If you are one of the first two people to fall, you're eliminated. And the challenge is over. And if we stay on, do we win anything? You win this challenge. That's what you're worried about right now? Really? Why are you so hung up about leaving? It's just a competition. Just a competition? Does any of this set off any hint of normality to you? We're in the middle of nowhere, an 11 month old baby-3, 2, 1, go! You call a host, he's holding us! Whoa, uh-uh! Tomato! That doesn't count. Okay then, Tomatoes out. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no! You good? I think so. I don't know, actually. I don't understand anything about what's going on. Is that even legal? He fell off his own pole. He didn't touch the ground. But if you said-but you said at the beginning, if you fall off your-He said you get eliminated if you touch the ground. But didn't he mean it like-Please stop talking. But he-Okay. Man, you can barely hold on. You guys sure are taking quite a while. You told us that the prize was a wish for anything we wanted. You think we're gonna give up just because we're getting tired? I don't even know why we're here still. It's just like, it's crazy and I don't-I just don't understand. Don't even think about it. I really think I'm gonna fall soon. I couldn't care less at this point if I win or not. If I get eliminated, that just means I can get back to my life. I just really don't want to die right now. Yeah, same. Where do you live, by the way? Bridgeport. What about you? I'm in the, uh, Bay Area. Bay Area? San Francisco. Gotcha. How are you so good at this? I'm a yoga instructor, but the more I think about it, I'm starting to think this challenge was made specifically for me. That sounds a bit egotistical, don't you think? No, I don't think so. But then again, any normal person could find it safe to assume that thinking this host picked us six specifically out of nearly eight billion people on Earth could be considered egotistical. Oh man, this really might be it. Whoever wins, I hope you enjoy your wish. It's a shame I can't really get it at this point. Oh, if you fall, you're not eliminated yet. Wait, what? Oh yeah, after this competition, Tomato and someone else will be voted on by viewers to see whoever gets eliminated. Another challenge is played and this will repeat until one person is left and they win. Viewers? Wait. Like on TV? Hold on, I thought this was the only competition! How long is this going to last? Oh, well, I'd say this should take a few weeks, maybe a few months, considering how one person gets eliminated for each challenge, and each challenge takes a while to make, but oh. And it seems that Backpack hit the ground first. So him and Tomato will be put up for elimination to see who will be the first eliminated from one. Oh my gosh, are you okay? Why did I not think of doing that? Backpack! Backpack, are you all right? Thank you.
