Join the audience. Get DD. Thumbs down.

Cheeky.
2 dd. Your bad luck continues it seems eh?
THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN! CROMWELL SHALL LIVE! For now, at least. The Host raises his hands to the crowd and waves on their applause.
However, his fate will have to wait for another day! Join us next time on DEAD MAN RUNNING!
The camera pans out and over the stands, where two very fat men are rolling down the aisle, slapping at each other and screaming incoherently. The shot fades out as the sponsors list rolls.
STATIC
Backstage, the Host leads the surviving contestants down a blindingly well lit hall. Most walk, Some limp, leaning on teammates, while Cromwell is wheeled down the hall in a hospital bed. Eventually they come to a door, at which the Host spins on his heel and taps with his cane.
This is where you'll all be staying between shows. It's a comfy little room with 8 beds, a full bathroom and even a nice vending machine that will supply you with everything you could desire! Assuming, of course, you desire whats in that vending machine. There are cameras in the corners of the room as well, so our audience can watch you online 24 hours a day! Wonderful, isn't it? In any case, a new contestant should be arriving to join you shortly, and then, tomorrow, we record another episode. And so it goes! So simple even all of you could follow it, right? Good. The stage hands herd everyone through the door and into the room. It's of reasonable size, with beds attached to the walls in a block two high and 4 long. On the other side of the room is a door labeled RESTROOM, and there are a few entertainment products down on the far end of the room, along with a vending machine that seems to be embedded- or possibly part of - the wall.
Oh, and Cromwell. The doctors told me they did all they could but that you're missing lots of bits. They say you'll need artificial organs within the next few days or you'll die! He points at the unnaturally sunken pit and recently sutured close gash that used to be Cromwell's stomach.
You may want to do something about that.
And for the rest of you, one final thing: Your shackles will occasionally give you challenges during this down time. These challenges give you points. They're quite helpful. You can refuse to do them, of course, but there are punishments for that as well. All things in moderation, dear friends. The door closes and locks shut with a heavy metallic clink. No sooner does the door close then Cromwell's Shackle Beeps.
