| Supreme King Challenge #2:
Houseguests, the power is up for grabs. Fred Phelps, as outgoing King, you are not eligible to compete. For this challenge, you will need to answer some questions regarding the Pharaohs of Ancient Egypt. When you answer the questions, pay close attention to the note next to each question. In these notes, I will ask you to take a letter from each answer and decode the secret message hidden in these answers. The first houseguest to post the answers to all of the questions IN THE DIARY room AND post the secret message IN THIS THREAD will become the new Supreme King. Remember, the answers to the questions need to be posted in your DR, but the answer to the secret code must be posted here. I will post the questions at :05. REMEMBER YOU NEED TO POST THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTIONS IN YOUR DIARY ROOMS, AND THEN!!! YOU MUST POST THE ANSWER TO THE CODE HERE. IF YOU DO ONE TASK BUT NOT THE OTHER, IT WILL NOT COUNT. YOU CAN ONLY TRY ONCE. NO DOUBLE POSTS! IF ONE OR MORE OF YOUR ANSWERS IS WRONG, EVEN IF THE CODE IS RIGHT, IT STILL WILL NOT COUNT.Good luck houseguests!

| I realize there might have been some confusion with the answers. I dont want this to drag because we have a POV to do in about an hour, so if by :45 we dont have a winner, the people who participated in this challenge will go to a sudden death round.
So everyone who has not submitted yet, you have until 8:45 to submit. Remember, you can only submit once. | |

Thank you everyone for participating and I apologize again for this messy challenge. The POV will be quicker and painless. Harriet, as the new HOH, now you have 2 duties: 1. Nominate 2 people from the opposite house for execution 2. Name FOUR people from your own house who you want as servants for this week. You have 30 minutes to post your decisions. Congrats again!
