U.S. States Viewer Voting #12

Hi! Gekko0923 here. I'm hosting a new series called "U.S. States Viewer Voting." In this series, you viewers vote for a state based on the voting mode. There are several voting modes, including voting to eliminate and voting to save, among others. Depending on the voting mode, one of the states will be eliminated. The states have been divided into 5 groups of 10 based on alphabetical order. Last time, various states were UFE.

In Episode 11 of this series, Group 1 was up for elimination, and you guys voted by ranking the states from best to worst!

Vote #11 stats: A total of 12 voters (record) cast 12 votes!

Group 1:

Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia

Gekko0923: Okay, let's begin! Alaska, you are safe with an average ranking of 2.5!

AK: Yes!

HI: Congrats Alaska!

CT: Hey, didn't you two have that exact same line last time, but in reverse?

GA: Yep, they did.

Gekko0923: Colorado, who isn't here, got a ranking of 2.67, so he's safe!

AK: Well, I hope he comes back soon.

Gekko0923: Arizona (3.92) and Connecticut (4.17) are also safe!

AZ: Yippee!

CT: At least I wasn't in the bottom three. Thank goodness.

Gekko0923: Well, it looks like yet another Southern state is going home tonight. Alabama, Florida, and Georgia, you're the bottom three.

FL: Alabama, we have to stay together. This is our chance to get that traitor Georgia outta here!

AL: Yes, it's time!

Gekko0923: Florida is safe with a score of 4.42.

FL: One step closer to the win! Let's go! (does griddy)

Gekko0923: Um.... interesting dance. Anyways, Alabama and Georgia, one of you will be leaving us shortly.

Gekko0923: Georgia survives (4.75) Well, Alabama, that means you're out with a score of 5.83.

AL: But y'all can't eliminate me! I'm the smartest state, I have four A's and one B!

Gekko0923: But you also have an L!

NY: OOOH GET ROASTED!

AL: All, y'all in New York's alliance are gonna regret this! Florida, win for me!

FL: I will.

AL; Goodbye!

FL: Well, it was better him and not me.

GA: Wow. You did not just say that.

FL: Hush. No one ever talks to you anymore.

50th: Arkansas

49th: Indiana

48th: Mississippi

47th: Nebraska

46th: Oklahoma

45th: Tennessee

44th: Delaware

43rd: Wisconsin

42nd: Ohio

41st: Rhode Island

40th: California

39th: Louisiana

38th: Alabama

FL: South Carolina, get over here.

SC: Yes, Florida?

FL: Alabama has been eliminated. We're the only two people left in this alliance. WHY ARE THE SOUTHERN STATES BEING TARGETED SO MUCH???!!!!???

SC: I don't know. Remember that time, around 160 years ago when we betrayed the entire nation?

FL: You started that, South Carolina. Don't look at me. Well, anyways, we asked Texas to join our alliance, perhaps he's interested now?

SC: Let's call him.

FL: Hi, Texas Wanna joi-

TX: Absolutely NOT! Your alliance is falling apart like a wounded cowboy! Y'all are getting eliminated one by one! I ain't gonna be in the same boat as y'all! Goodbye!

SC: Well that went horribly. Florida, this alliance is becoming a failure. You can't even call it an alliance anymore since we're the only two left. You need three to call it an alliance. I'm leaving now, Florida. This "alliance" has done me nothing good.

FL: No! Don't leave! (sighs)

What am I gonna do now?

ND: Now that South Carolina is out of that horrible alliance, now's the time for her to patch things up with North Carolina!

SD: Are you sure about this? Once again, we shouldn't meddle with people's relationships.

Some things that look broken don't need to be fixed.

ND: It'll be fine! By the way, the worst that can happen is for them to never talk again. You go talk to South Carolina, I'll talk to North.

SD: Fine.

SD: Hi, South Carolina.

SC: Hey South Dakota. What's up?

SD: Well, as siblings, North Dakota and I notice that you and your sibling were having some arguments. Would you mind telling me what those arguments are about?

SC: Um, well, North Carolina and I would always have contests to see which of us is better. He would win most of the time, so those contests turned into arguments, and now we can't seem to get along.

SD: Oh. That's unfortunate. North Dakota and I can help if you need it.

SC: Look, I appreciate the help, but I've been having a bad day so far, so I think I just need some time alone. I don't wanna talk about this anymore.

SD: Oh.  Bye then.

ND: Hello, North Carolina.

NC: What do you want?

ND: I was just wondering how things between you and Sou-

NC: I know what you're gonna say, and I don't wanna hear it. And by the way, the answer is no.

ND: But I didn't even-

NC; Goodbye, North Dakota.

SD: So, how did it go?

ND: Not good. He did not even answer my question.

SD: He must be sensitive about the topic. South Carolina told me that those two have been hating each other for such a long time. It's best just to leave them alone.

ND: Alright. We'll give them a bit of time.

DC: Hi Gekko0923. I'd like to become the new co-host.

Gekko0923: A co-host. I've never thought of that. Let's see how you do, and then I'll decide if I want to hire you.

DC: Sounds good.

Meanwhile....

ID: Alright. Let's go check Washington first.  He's not at home, so we can check inside.

WY: Everyone, go search around. Look for clues.

NV: I don't see any hints here. What about you guys?

CO: Me neither. I don't think Washington has anything to do with the eliminated contestants, really. He's a kind person.

MT: So, what do we do now?

CO: We check Illinois.

NV: Illinois? What about California?

ID: Nevada, how can California be a suspect if he's eliminated? Besides, Illinois has a much, you know, shadier personality. I think we should go to her house next.

NV: But none of you know California as much as I do. He's not the person he seems to be.

WY: There are five of us. Perhaps we split up then?

NV: Fine. Idaho and I will go to California's place. You three go to Illinois.

CO: I guess this is where our group splits. Bye, you two! Good luck!

ID: Bye, for now.

ID: Nevada, why did you do that? Why do you think California's a suspect.

NV: I BORDER him, Idaho. You don't. So you can't be talking right now. Splitting with them was the logical thing to do. Now let's go.

ID: But what's wrong with him?

NV: It's personal. Don't ask me about it.

CO: Okay, so we're going to Illinois, right? Let's go!

20 hours later...

MT: This isn't Illinois. It's too.... snowy.

WY: Did you read the map correctly, Colorado?

CO: Whoops. I made a mistake. We went too far north.

MT: Then where are we? Wisconsin? Minnesota?

WY: No. We're in Canada.

MT: Oh shoot.

WY: Why? Is Canada dangerous or something?

MT: Well, as US' younger brother, Canada was always... overshadowed by him. He's very secretive and intelligent, but US warned us that he's also... manipulative. We should go before he sees us.

CO: Ummm... Montana? He's right behind you.

MT: Hm? (turns around nervously)
AHHHHHH!!!

CN (Canada): Come here, you puny states! Come spend the night with me!

CO: RUN!

(Canada captures Montana)

CN: Gotcha!

WY: NOOOO!

CO: There's no time to go back for him. We have to keep running!

WY: I'll be back to help you, Montana! We're going to warn everyone about Canada!

CO: Hurry! We have to go NOW!

MT: Promise me you'll save me, Wyoming.

WY: I promise.

Meanwhile...

Gekko0923: Guys, we have someone new who will be joining us.

NY: What do you mean? A new state?

Gekko0923: No. I decided that I would appreciate having a co-host help me with this show. So, I'd like all of you to meet Washington D.C, the capital of our nation!

DC: Hello everyone. It's a pleasure to be a co-host.

VA: Gekko0923, we already know DC.

Gekko0923; Oh. Well, it just increases the chances that he'll make a good co-host, don't you think?

MD: He's kinda... bossy.

DC: Just give me a chance. Please.

VA: Okay. But if you mess up, I am reporting you to Gekko right away.

DC: Gekko, didn't you tell me there were 37 states still in? I only see 32.

Gekko0923: Um, about that, five of our states have gone missing. Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, and Wyoming to be specific.

DC: Have you tried looking for them?

Gekko0923: No. I don't know where to start.

DC: Well, there are five teams in the game, right?

Gekko0923: Right.

DC: Well, then why don't you make this a challenge? Each team's job is to find one of the five missing contestants. Whoever is last to find a contestant will lose.

Gekko0923: Great idea! You're doing an awesome job already! I'm impressed! Guys, you heard the capital. Let's go find those missing states!

FL: Group 1, we have to get going! There are only six of us left, so we can't lose another challenge!

GA: What should we do?

AZ: I have Nevada's phone number. Perhaps I could call him.

CT: Wait. We're states. We don't use cell phones.

AZ: Shoot. What was I thinking?

UT: Don't worry, guys. I border most of these folks. Since they ran off, I probably know where they are.

TX: You want us to listen to you?

WV: Yeah, you have no clue where these people are, do you?

VT: Perhaps we can be a little nicer to Utah?

WA: Yeah, no offense Utah, but you're kinda...weird, but you don't deserve to be bullied like that.

WV: Whatever. So Utah, where are they?

UT: They're... right behind you!

WV: Seriously? Do you think I'm stupid or something? Oh, wait, they are behind me, aren't they?

SD: Unfortunately, it's just Colorado and Wyoming.

CO: (to himself) Okay, Colorado, you're alone with Wyoming. This is your chance to tell her how you feel!)

WY: I think we're almost there. Just a bit more to go!

CO: Um, Wyoming?

WY: Hm?

CO: I... kinda like you. You're sweet, kind, your landscape is so beautiful, and we look so much alike!

WY: Wow. I never knew you felt that way. It's cool, I guess. (smiles)

CO: Oh, look, Group 5 is waving to us? I wonder why?

WY: Hi, Utah. Glad to finally see you after so long.

UT: Hi, Wyoming. So, basically, we have a challenge where we have to find one of the five missing Western states, and we're the first to find one!

WA: Hold on. Why is it just you and Colorado?

CO: Our group separated. Idaho and Nevada went to California's place, but Montana... he...

WY: CANADA IS EVIL AND HE TOOK MONTANA AND HE NEEDS OUR HELP RIGHT NOW!

VT: Calm down. Take deep breaths.

VA: Why were you in Canada?

CO: It's.... complicated. Will you guys help us?

VA: We can't right now. We need to tell Gekko before we wander off, unlike you guys did. And we can't lose anyone else.

TX: So, back to the challenge... we're safe, but we found two states. That means that we can choose another team to be safe. I personally think we should choose Group 1. They've had it rough, with only six members.

WA: I.. won't disagree with you there. Hey, Group 1! We found Colorado and Wyoming! We're giving one of them to you so your group will be safe too!

AZ: Really? Thanks!

DC: Groups 1 and 5 are safe!

MN: Group 3, we need to focus.

MI: Where do we even start?

NH: I dunno. Don't ask me.

MA: New Hampshire, being useless as usual.

NH: Hey, may I remind you, that you guys are leaving me out of this "group 3 friendship group" or whatever?

MA: It's your fault for not being good enough to join us. Anyways, I think we should ask the safe groups where the others are. Hey, Connecticut!

CT: I assume you want to know where the eliminated contestants are? Idaho and Nevada are in California, Montana is in Canada.

MA: Thanks. You're the best!

MO: Well, guys, we have to go to California or Canada. Which do we choose?

(Illinois and Iowa were listening in a bush)

IA: So it's California or Canada. Where do we go?

IL: Isn't it obvious? Canada! I am not going to that expensive, earthquake-prone California!

MD: Well, you guys heard Illinois. we're going to Canada!

ME: Let's hurry! I wanna beat Massachusetts so badly!

KS: Oh, Maine, we will. Iowa, come with me.

IA: Wait, what? Where are we going?

KS: You'll see.

NY: So, Oregon, you must know your Western friends well. Where are they?

OR: Don't look at me.

ND: Don't worry. My trusty twin, South Dakota, told me that they are in California or Canada!

NY: We're going to California.

NM: Why?

NY: You don't wanna see what Canada has done to people. Especially me.

NM: What did he d-

NY: It's personal.

Five hours later....

NE: We must be in the Dakotas now, because it is getting chilly!

MO: Not everyone was made for this cold weather. I'm really cold, guys.

MA: Just a little bit to go. Hey, wait, is that Maine? I don't wanna lose to her! Guys, hurry up!

ME: Come on Group 2, we can catch up to Massachusetts!

IL: I'm getting tired! Can we take a break?

ME: No! We have to win! Wait, where are Kansas and Iowa?

IL: I bet we lost them along the way. Sucks for them.

Meanwhile...

PA: Well, this is California's house. We made it.

NY: Let's go inside.

OR: Idaho? Nevada? Where are you guys? This is me, Oregon? We're looking for you guys to win a challenge!

NM: We have to search the whole house. Everyone split up, and yell if you find them!

ND: Why don't North and South Carolina search together?

NC: Nope. Not doing that.

NY: I'll go with Pennsylvania and New Mexico, I guess. North Carolina and North Dakota can go together, leaving Oregon and South Carolina together. Split up!

Ten minutes later...

OR: Idaho? Nevada? I'm getting tired of calling you guys!

SC: There they are!

NV: Oregon? South Carolina? What are you guys doing here?

SC: We're looking for you guys as a challenge. We have to find an eliminated contestant to be safe.

ID: Oh. Alright.

OR: Just a question: What were you guys doing here?

ID: We're looking for the eliminated contestants and whether Gekko has something to do with this. We searched here because Gekko has been to California.

NV: And it was my idea to come here, remember?

ID: Yes. But we've had no luck so far.

Gekko0923: It's down to Group 2 and Group 3, both of which are racing to Canada!

MA: Group 3, pick it up! I don't wanna lose to Maine!

ME: We'll see about that!

MA: Wait, we're the only ones still walking! Everyone else quit!

ME: This is a 1v1, bring it on!

Fifteen minutes later...

ME: I'll admit, it is pretty cold...

MA: So you're surrendering already? Works for me.

ME: No, I'm not. Anyway, how are you going to find Canada's house. It could be anywhere.

MA: It should be somewhere around here. Colorado said to just go north. See you there! Bye!

IA: So why did we not follow the rest of the group, Kansas?

KS: I figured it would be easier to just go to California rather than Canada. So here we are, California's house!

IA: It's very big. Let's head in!

KS: Hey, there's Idaho and Nevada! We did it!

ID: Oh, hello guys. It's nice to see my group members again.

Gekko0923: Group 2 is safe, which means that Group 3, you're up for elimination!
