Battle for Keeping Your Sanity (A BFB Texting AU)

Summary:

After the disaster that was Episodes 13 and 14, and the mess that was Episode 16, Four made the decision to give each and every contestant their very own cell phone. Complete with a fully functional, very good messaging application.

(Canon-divergent, takes place as if BFB 16 didn't include a split. My own predictions as for who is UFE and gets eliminated. Everyone's going to show up at some point. I'm just writing this for fun.)
