No Vacancy

''' is the fifth episode of '.

Main Match
No Vacancy: Players travel through six hotels, each of which has a maximum capacity. In each round, players choose to either stay in the hotel they are currently in, proceed to the next hotel, or (once only) proceed down two hotels. Players cannot stay in the same hotel for three consecutive nights. At the end of each round, the number of people in each hotel is revealed; however, the number of players in the third and fourth hotels remains hidden for the entire game. Each player then earns points equal to the maximum occupancy of the hotel minus the number of people in the hotel. The game continues until either a player reaches the last hotel or seven rounds have passed, whichever occurs first. Whichever player has the most points at the end of the match wins a Token of Life, whereas the player with the fewest points becomes the Elimination Candidate.

With 9 points, Maddie won a Token of Life, while Alex, Morgan, and Nadine came in joint last with 0 points each. Maddie chose to give her second Token of Life to Morgan, and picked Alex to be the Elimination Candidate; Alex chose to face Jorge in the Death Match.

Death Match
Gerrymandering: Players (one designated red and one blue) begin the game with 24 borders each, that they will place on the edges of the red and blue squares of an 8x8 grid. When a set of borders encloses a region, that region becomes known as a district; the outermost sides of the 8x8 grid are considered to be borders. Districts must be at least 3 squares in size; players cannot place a border that would create a district of 2 or fewer squares. The game ends when all 48 borders have been placed on the board. The player who has more squares of their color in each district converts all of the squares from that district into their color; in the event of a tie, players split the squares evenly. The player who ends up with more squares of their color wins.

Alex controlled 37 squares at the end of the game compared to Jorge's 27, eliminating Jorge.
