As all of the people on the Save team made their way to the exit many people could see that some were very similar to Jonathan in the fact that they were very weak from not having enough food for days.
It wasn't uncommon to hear the sound of a stomach growl or someone puking from lack of nutrition and trying to eat something like tree bark. However, despite such a terrible situation, many people were optimistic since if they won the next round they would surely be able to eat all the food that they wanted in the reward area.
As Jonathan and the rest were waiting by the entrance the door suddenly opened inviting every person in their group inside. Normally The Watcher would have given them more information again but apparently in this circumstance this wasn't the case.
