    This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    While the show imed the candidates for the celebrity guests‘ partners were chosen at random, in


    reality, the directors had hand–picked each of them.


    Ultimate Survival yed off the origins of its filming locations, which were tweaked as part of the


    challenge.


    Piecing the story together with what talent the celebrities had was tough work, and sometimes required


    professional knowledge or skill.


    With the children’s hospital as the filming location of this season, the candidates were undoubtedly


    chosen for their medical backgrounds or knowledge.


    The viewers were already guessing who were the candidates that had been chosen this season.


    Before long, the director instructed, “Ladies and gentlemen, before you are five candidates and only


    those who have matched on the system will pair up for the challenge.


    “The candidates‘ information is disyed on the screen. Two of them are medical students while the


    remaining three have different majors and professions. Please choose your candidate based on your


    experience


    Everyone’s expression shifted upon hearing this except for Tobias“.


    Oliver, who was a returning guest and therefore had experience from thest season, knew exactly


    what he had to focus on in variety shows–getting more screentime.


    That, and not bing dead weight. Screentime and making oneself useful were what the audience


    looked for in an Ultimate Survival participant..


    If Oliver chose the right candidate to help him with this challenge, he might be a trending figure


    during this season’s filming and make his investors see his worth. The lucrative endorsement deals


    would then start to pile up on his doorstep!


    Zane and Aimee thought the same. However, Lucy was ashen–faced and absentminded. Choosing the


    right candidate was obviously thest thing on her mind.


    The viewers‘ments began flooding in. “Picking the medical students will pay off nicely this round.”


    “Well, duh! From what I know, choosing the right candidate will boost your chances of sess by


    50%!”


    “Come on, guys, be realistic. The non–celebrity guests get to choose too. They might not match with


    the celebrities who chose them”


    “The guest who gets first pick will be at an advantage, for sure.”


    “Look! The candidates‘ information is out!”


    With a whoosh, the information for each candidate appeared in bulletin form on therge screen before

    the celebrity guests.


    The first non–celebrity guest was a 25–year–old man named Joshua Geller, a civil engineering major.


    The second was a 20–year–old woman named Cecilia Cahan, a clinical doctor.


    As soon as the words “clinical doctor” popped up on the screen, the viewers went wild.


    “Guys, do my eyes deceive me? Is Cecilia Cahan the popr streamer I’ve been following for ages?”


    “Hot damn! I think that’s Cecilia Ceil! The information adds up!”


    “Cecilia Ceil? I’vee across her channel before. Isn’t she really good at diagnosing patients?”


    “I thought influencers would never show their faces in public! I can’t believe she actually signed up for a


    variety show. She has guts, I’ll give her that!”


    “I’ve met Cecilia before. She’s gorgeous and angelic, but I think she’s got nothing on the celebrities.”


    “Hey, don’t speak too soon. Whoever gets paired up with her for this challenge will win the lottery!”


    The celebrity guests could not see thements from these viewers, of course, but professional


    judgment honed from his years in showbiz had Oliver setting his eyes on Cecilia.


    “I think this youngdy has the perfect profession for this challenge.” Oliver chuckled, already eager to


    make his choice. “Hope you won’t mind if I choose her, Zane.”


    Zane shook his head. “Sorry, Oliver, but we get to choose ording to our assigned numbers. That


    means I get first pick.” He had been assigned as number one.


    With the Lawtons being one of Ultimate Survival’s backers, Zane was able to pull some strings for


    himself.


    Oliver had been in showbiz long enough to understand Zane’s implication. “In that case, I’ll opt for the


    third non–celebrity guest who also graduated medical school with honors!”
