First vote…
Ian.
Two votes, Ian. Three votes, Ian.
No votes, JC.
The winner of Beast Game-Survivor $1.8 million dollar island: Ian.
The Beast Games have spoken.
You don't think we're just gonna let him leave with nothing, do you?
$10 million coin…
Oh, my goodness.
…that will double the prize pool.
Wow.
Brilliant.
What's going on in your mind?
Leverage.
Back at the city, contestants waited
for the return of the players from Fiji.
But still, no one knew who had won the island.
Can you feel the nervous energy around here?
What time is it even in Fiji?
I still only think nine people are coming back.
Everyone was wondering who came out on top
and what it would mean for the game.
Who do I want to win? I want Ian to win the island
because I think he's just very deserving of the island.
So I've got my fingers crossed.
I'm so excited, bro, to find out that JC got even more money on this show.
Contestants! I'm back!
Come on over here. Come say hi. How are you guys doing?
- Whoo! - Good!
What'd you think when you were watching the island game?
- Ethan! Take it. - I'mma take it.
- Wow. - That was crazy.
- We want to see who won. - Ethan should not have let go.
- Ethan shouldn't have let go.
Do you wish you got to play them?
- Yes. - Yes.
- It did look kind of fun. - It looked so fun.
Contestants, come on out!
These are the contestants that did not win the island.
- Come on out. - We missed you guys!
- Bring it in, brother. - Thanks, bro.
Jeff, what's up, brother?
- What's up? - How you doing?
So notice how there's only eight of them? The two that went to tribal are missing.
I'm curious. Raise your hand if you think JC won.
- More money! - Let's go.
Raise your hand if you think Ian won.
Okay, so only one of you thinks Ian won. Okay, let's see if they're right.
The winner of the $1.8 million island…
…is Ian.
- You guys were wrong. - Wow.
- Ian, none of them thought you won. - What?
Ian's a villain. Ian's a villain.
- Why don't you guys want to face him? - 'Cause you're a dog.
Puppet master Ian comes in.
- None of you thought I won? - Ah, hey!
Oh, there we go.
Wait, wait, why'd you guys think JC beat Ian?
- We thought it was for votes. - Yeah, they all voted.
JC, come on out.
Let's go, JC.
JC!
I wanna know what the last game was.
On Survivor Island, of course it was Tribal.
In fact, every single one of them voted for Ian.
It was 8-0? Wow.
JC didn't get a single vote. It was impressive.
He couldn't convince a single one to take his side.
What?
What happened on that island?
But he didn't leave with nothing.
- Do you want to show 'em? - Got the $10 million coin.
The coin!
No, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
But he can only flip it,
doubling the prize pool to $10 million, if he makes it to the top six.
Oh, my gosh.
All right, he has $1.8 million worth of an island.
He has a $10 million coin.
The game has definitely changed. Go have fun.
Wow!
These players don't know it yet, but later in this episode,
they will be playing one of the most brutal games
of the entire season.
JC!
- We love you. - Thank you.
- Oh, my God. - No, I know.
Dude, there's so much power in this little tiny coin.
Any tea on the island? Like any…
Yeah, there's some stuff that went on.
Tell us.
In one night, JC had gone from being an outsider
to the city's new favorite.
It seemed like because he had the coin,
everyone conveniently wanted to be his friend.
I just thought relationships were different, and, uh…
Okay. Truths were shown.
- Games make people change. - Yes, they do.
So we just need to make sure we stick together.
And now that they all want JC's back too,
that's gonna be a little bit more dangerous.
- Yeah. - He's going to jump with them
- 'cause he feels we all betrayed him. - Right.
All eight votes were for Ian.
Every single one of them voted for Ian. Oh, my gosh.
I'm gonna spill a little tea.
Your name came up
in a very straightforward way.
If you had to pick between Bryleigh
or one of these eight going forward, who would you pick?
I'm committing to you eight right here.
So now, do you feel like you can trust anybody
that was at the island at this point?
- I don't feel like I fit in. - Oh.
But I will tell you right now,
island people are gonna stick for island people.
- Oh, you think… so they all got close? - Oh, no.
- I don't think. - They did?
Wow, past alliances are kind of out the window.
- It's almost like us versus them. - Really?
My people were Nick, Tyler, Jack, and Auguste.
Do you feel different with, like, the connections that you had?
I do feel distance.
I'll be honest, even saying hello right now, like, it felt different.
JC said they had, like, a meeting on the island,
basically saying it's islanders vs. Beast City people.
JC's version of what happened on the island
was starting to spread like wildfire.
The more it was told, the bigger the divide became.
- Apparently, they got all new alliances. - Oh, nice.
- Yeah. - That's lovely.
When everyone from the island came back, somebody from the island
told me something, and it kinda caught me off guard.
- I'm like, "Hmm, okay." - Oh, okay.
They just said, "Put a guard up," basically.
"Put your guard up because your name is out there."
Vance, I gotta hear your thoughts, man.
I thought it was gonna be JC.
At least closer. Unanimous, not one person.
But do you rather have JC with the coin or Ian with the coin?
That coin is interesting,
in the fact that I'd actually rather JC have it than Ian.
On the flip side, now we have to kinda carry JC to the top six,
where he potentially might have been eliminated on this next challenge.
We knew it would be messy.
Listen…
our alliance has been a two-person alliance this entire time.
I know.
Hannah, Kady, even JC. I love him, I meme on him,
but at the end of the day, who I'm riding for is you.
- Thank you. - If I self-eliminate for you,
you're my sugar mama for life, okay?
You're who I care about.
First thing that JC did was beeline straight to Bryleigh and said,
"What Ian said about you in Tribal was very, very powerful,
- and you have a target on your back." - See, I told you it was JC.
- Yeah. - I told you it was JC.
I didn't know that you were close with Ian, so it makes sense.
We kinda had a little alliance going on, and then…
Yeah, I will be honest though. I think Ian played a little strategy on you.
Ethan, take it.
He did tell me also to, like, take the bribe.
- I remember that. - Both of us have families.
- You're not going to beat us in Tribal. - I'm gonna take it.
Wow!
He had the quick thinking to say,
hey, since we know it's going to be a voting,
he probably stands a better chance coming up against me
instead of going against you.
So him getting in your ear, you know,
"Take the money, take the money, take the money."
- I think his was strategy. - No, I see that too.
- And that was how he got me, so yeah. - Yeah.
I turned to Ethan, I'm like, "Bro, bro, take it. Take that $50."
I'm shaking him, "Take it." He's like, "All right."
You know, Ian mentioned that he would self-eliminate for an island person.
I'm shocked that he would boot Bryleigh for an island guy.
I've got you still, though. I want you to know that.
Yeah, I feel this.
I couldn't wait to get back to see you guys 'cause I was like,
there's some support that I know I have out there, you know.
Yeah, you got us two. You at least got us two, bro.
This is very interesting.
Gossip surrounding the island continued to spread,
and players were learning more and more about their new situation.
- What's up? - Not much.
What are we talking about?
You know, filling Bryleigh in on the conversations in Tribal Council.
You know, I was begging for their vote.
They asked would you self-eliminate right now for us?
And I said, "I'll do it right now. If you asked me to."
I said, "But I can help you going forward."
So then the question was asked, "Well, are you going to tell Bryleigh this?"
- And I said, "I'll tell her everything." - So how does that make you feel?
He basically told eight players over there he would prioritize them over you.
He would do everything to push them through over you.
I honestly still trust Ian.
I don't think Ian would put me under the bus for anything.
I don't.
Not even for those eight people over there that he gave his word that he would?
No.
So, I mean, yeah, that's something you guys have to think about
- because at that point… - Hey, Jim, Monika, JC,
- can you guys come over here? - Hundo p!
Now, JC, remember, if you flip that coin and lose, you will be eliminated.
But you're flipping that coin no matter what.
- If you make the top six. - I'm flipping it.
Interesting. Is there any world where you would sell me that coin?
- That I would sell it to you? - Yeah.
- If the price is right. - Hey, guards!
- Come on out! - Wait, what?
- No way, no way, no way. - What is JC doing?
- Here comes the bribies. - No way. No way! You're kidding.
- Oh, my gosh, how much? - $50K?
JC, JC, JC. Sell the coin.
This is $50,000 I will give to you right now in exchange for the coin.
The thing is, in season one, that coin cost me $5 million.
No, no, no!
It's tails.
You just lost a bunch of money, buddy!
You know, I'd rather buy it for less than $5 million.
Does this money change your perspective?
I could have gotten that amount sliding down the pole. It's a no.
All right, well, JC rejected my offer.
I say we just jump right into the next game.
You wanna do it?
Oh, my God.
Oh, my God!
Wait, what?
Oh, my God, oh, my God, oh, my God!
These cubes, man, they will mess with you mentally.
I knew this was gonna happen.
If you watched season one,
you know what you're about to experience.
These cubes have been under your nose the entire time.
And just like in season one, three people are gonna enter each cube
and only two are gonna come out.
Inside each cube is a pair of handcuffs.
Your goal is to decide which of the three of you
will handcuff themselves to the wall,
self-sacrificing and allowing the other two members to move on in Beast Games.
I don't care if this challenge takes all night,
you will all live in these cubes until one of you is chained to the wall.
Oh, and one more thing, because there are only 20 players in this game,
one of these cubes will only have two contestants inside,
meaning they have an even lower chance of moving on from this game.
You may now all choose your teams of three.
Oh, we just pick. Oh, my goodness. Okay, who wants to be on my team?
- Me. - Anybody?
Are they gonna pick people they're friends with?
Pick their enemies that might not honor their agreements.
This is gonna be very interesting.
When you have your three, go get handcuffed.
So you said you would self-eliminate for us.
So that's the plan.
I hear you, I got to go with Tyler and Bryleigh.
You said that, man. You promised all of us.
You can still come out on top of this.
- Do you wanna be with us? - Yeah, I'll be with you guys.
- I'd be fine with that. - Is this your team?
Yeah. I think so, yeah.
- Oh, we got our first team. - You got it, Jack. You got it, Sue.
- There you go, Tyler. - You guys sure?
Let's run it. Go for it, ready?
- I got it. - I'm in.
Okay, Tyler, Jack, and Sue are locked in.
- How did you guys settle on you three? - Good group of people.
You know, like, I think everyone here will be honest in the way they play.
Yo, JC, whatchu cooking?
- I want to play a fair game. - We all flip a coin.
- Yo, last to get heads is out. - Yeah, I would love to be with you guys.
I don't think it feels right to be with anybody but us three.
Jim and Monika, one of you are gonna go home?
Lock me in, baby. Yes.
Okay, Monika, Jim, and JC are locked in.
I'm just gonna address the elephant in the room.
- They're obviously very close. - Yeah.
And you're not worried about them trying to team up on you?
This is interesting.
Believe it or not, these are the two people that I trust the most.
Yeah, I would like to get out knowing that good people are moving forward
than some person that I don't really even know.
Jeff, are you teaming up with Kady and Hannah?
We'll play fair, and we'll be safe.
- I don't know. - Jimmy, this is brutal.
Yeah, what's the logic here? Obviously, he's already a millionaire.
This is day one. We've been together since day one.
We might as well go out together.
- Ready, boys? - Let's go.
Okay. Cory, Brett, and JT have locked it in as well.
- One of you is going to be eliminated. - Love you guys.
- Love you guys.
We're gonna be me, Hannah and Jeff.
I don't know if that's a good decision because we're best friends,
or a bad decision.
- You wanna go lock? - Oh, my God.
Kady, Hannah, and Jeff are our fourth team.
Oh, and Nick, Auguste, and Vance have teamed up as well.
Yo, can I get that mask when we're done?
- He's not gonna answer. - I need that panther mask, bro.
We have Nick, Auguste, and Vance.
- How are we feeling? - Not good.
I mean, we've all made a lot of memories together,
but I think we're just gonna go in there,
play a fair game of chance most likely, and that'll be that.
And it looks like Ian has chosen Tyler and Bryleigh for his team.
- Okay, it's locked in. - Are you pretty hurt right now about Ian?
Yeah. He said if it came down to Bryleigh and one of us, he'd pick one of us.
Okay, everyone. Six of the seven teams have been chosen.
And as you know, the final cube will only have two players inside.
And it looks like those two players are Catey and Ethan.
And instead of a 33% chance, they will now have a 50% chance of being eliminated.
Come on over here to this guard.
Before we lock it in, is there anything you guys would like to say
to the players that did not choose you?
Well, it looks like Ian, you finally cracked, man.
- You finally broke your word, dude. - So you tried to be on his team?
Yeah, I know Ian, already winning $1.8 million,
he could self-sacrifice and then the other two would move on.
- As he said he would at Tribal. - Yeah.
If there's ever a moment going forward that you need me to self-eliminate,
you need me to run through a wall, you name it, and I'm there for you.
And Ian, you also convinced Ethan to give up on the island
- when he was clearly going to win it. - Ethan, take it.
- He's a snake. - I'm the reason he won the island.
But you're assuming that he would eliminate it for you.
Only two people are coming out.
Which two you think are coming out of this cube?
I mean, it's going to be you and Bryleigh.
You know, I'm comfortable with my decision here.
All right.
Unfortunately, they'll now have a 50% chance of being eliminated.
- Sorry about that. - It's okay.
They should have voted for JC. I told you, I was on to this guy's game.
All right, the guards will now take each of you to your cube,
where you will decide which one of you is handcuffing themselves to the wall
and which two of you are moving on for a chance to win $5 million.
- Oh, there it is. - 50-50, baby.
PTSD, man.
Oh, my God, it's like a loony bin.
Look at this thing. "Ask for anything."
- Never thought I would end up in here. - Yeah, me either.
I don't like it in here.
- Wow, this is miserable. - Wild.
- Bring it in. - This is huge.
You got two big Survivor fans here, Sue.
You both are?
- Yes. - You gotta tell us about your season.
The hardest part was seeing the alliances align
and you weren't a part of them.
Knowing that two people are gunning for me.
You girls are great.
- Be strong. - This is crazy.
We are literally in the cubes in Beast Games.
20 contestants have entered those cubes, but only 13 will come out,
after what might be the most brutal game we play this season.
Let's get it started.
I truly don't want to be in here with anybody else.
We will do something fair. We're not here to screw you over.
- No, I know that. - We're not here to screw you over.
I feel that 100%.
Seriously, I'm hyped to see you guys in here.
And, you know, we'll have some fun. Let's play some games at the very end.
Let's see who ends out on top, and we'll go from there.
Both of you guys, I really do appreciate the both of you guys.
Like, I'm not trying to fudge anything.
There's some cubes where there's people
that at least don't like one person that they're in there with,
or I would assume so. Like, I appreciate you guys.
Poor Catey and Ethan sitting in a cube together.
Is there a 0% chance you would self-eliminate with no gain?
For what?
Like, why would I self-eliminate with no gain?
To let me continue.
- Oh, like just… well, no, sorry. - No?
I mean, yeah, I wanna win too.
I believe in fate. I believe everything happens for a reason. You know?
- We're right where we're supposed to be. - Yeah.
And everything else is out of our control.
This was strategic for me.
I wanted someone that I knew wanted what's best for you,
- pretty much as much as I did. - You're gonna make me cry, don't.
It's too early. I got my two guardian angels.
We believe you could do this thing.
- I'm glad it's with you two, man. - Yeah, man.
You guys are my closest friends inside the city, man.
- Do you guys want to hear my idea? - Let's hear it.
We get Jimmy over here, we get a clipboard,
write down each of our names, and he passes it around,
and people vote which one of us has to leave.
- Vote? - We do a vote.
I feel like I have a disadvantage in that.
I don't know why you think you'd have the disadvantage.
I don't trust Vance at all.
The person I would eliminate here, it would be Vance.
He's talking about, like, "I need to be gone.
Like, I have other shows I could be winning."
Bro, then go.
Vance's energy is just bad.
Vance is a big threat, and he's not specifically on anyone's team right now.
He cannot be trusted.
He's had so many chances, dude. I'm done with him.
Cydney's done with him. So many other people are done with him.
From what I know, I feel like it's equal, but…
All right, I think we party, and then do it.
Contestants, let me remind you,
there is a red phone in each of your cubes.
You may use that phone to place a call and order anything in the world
that will help you come to a decision about which of you will be eliminated.
- I propose we start off with some shorts. - Yeah.
Your boy's cooking over here.
- Shorts, comfy chairs. - Shorts, food, chairs, marker.
'Cause to make an informed decision, we need to be comfortable.
In a right mindset. We can't be hungry.
That's you.
- First call, Beast hotline. - Order number one,
- can we get three very comfortable chairs? - Okay, sounds good.
Now, you might expect the contestants to all order games
and other ways to figure out who was getting eliminated,
but it seemed like at first they were more concerned about getting comfortable.
Can we please get three bean bags?
Hi, can we have two chairs? Something with cushion? Comfortable?
Sure. It's on the way.
All right. The first round of orders have officially arrived.
- Bean bags, baby. - Bean bags!
- This is the best day ever. - Oh, these are nice.
- Such a good call. - Yeah, bean bags was the move, man.
- Hello? - Yo, is this Karl?
- Nah, this is Druski. - Bro. It's Druski.
Oh, my god!
Yo, Druski. Can I get three panther masks over here?
- Yeah, we'll get it for you. - Let's go!
- Dude! - Woo-hoo! Yo! That's fire!
As fun as this moment might seem, it's actually very important,
because this was the moment that I realized,
despite having made a plan that they presented as being fair…
Other cubes have to vote which one of us has to leave. We do a vote.
…Auguste and Nick actually had zero intention of playing fair with Vance.
Yes?
Now, Auguste, between me and you, brother.
I want you to pick your right arm up if you want Vance eliminated,
or flare your nostrils if you want Nick eliminated.
Uh, wait… oh, yeah.
Oh, nice, good high five.
- Yes? - Can we get, uh, three large pizzas?
Definitely two burgers, four cheese quesadillas.
Scallops. Sushi.
- Filet mignon with mashed potatoes. - Filet mignon?
- Girl, you want filet mignon? - Three of them, please.
- Can we do filet mignon? - We can do filet mignon.
- Smells like scallops. - Yeah, it does.
Mm, oh, my god.
Steak dinner, baby. Steak dinner.
At this point, three hours had passed,
and I was still sitting around,
waiting to see if anyone would actually order something useful to this challenge.
Can we get one guitar?
Okay, we can get you a guitar.
But instead, they just continued to delay the inevitable.
What's up, Jimmy? Hey, can we get as much money as you can give us?
We got a request for a bunch of money in this cube. Bring it on in.
Obviously, when the cube game's over, I'm gonna take it back.
But for now, you can have it.
- Oh, yeah! - Make it rain!
We gotta make this place look nuts.
And here's another moment,
take a look at what I noticed when I rewatched this footage.
Yeah, that's a "V" for Vance.
Look at Monika getting pampered.
- Oh, that feels so good. - This is what I'm talking about here.
This is all we needed. Some pizza pies.
I would hate to be in Nick and Auguste and Vance's cube.
- Oh, that sounds like a nightmare cube. - Let's go, Vance.
- Oh, my God. Let's go. - Let's go!
That was actually sick.
At this point, the competitors had been in their cubes for five hours,
and they knew that sooner or later, decisions would have to be made.
Auguste, Vance, and Nick were the first team to come up with an actual plan,
and their plan was to let everyone else decide for them.
So you want me to go to each player and ask them who of you three
they think is the nicest?
Who of you three is the most financially responsible?
And who of you three is the most skilled?
And after I do that with every player, whichever one of you
has the least amount of points,
you're telling me, is gonna handcuff themselves,
turn down $5 million based off of this?
- Yep. - Okay. I'll be back.
Auguste, Vance, and Nick has granted each of you three votes
on who in the cube is the nicest,
on who's the most financially responsible,
and who is the most skilled Beast Games player?
After I tally all the votes, whoever has the least agreed to self-eliminate.
- Wow. - Ooh.
I'm curious to see what everyone says about us.
Was Auguste the nicest? No, Vance was really nice too.
- Isn't that going to be interesting? - Faith. Leave it up to faith, dude.
Out of the three, I would say Vance is the nicest.
Nick, the nicest, Vance the money, and Auguste the most skilled.
Auguste is getting my kindest vote.
Nicest, probably Nick, 'cause he's the reason why I'm still in this game.
The person who's shown me personally the most kindness is Nick.
Financially responsible, Auguste.
I'm going to give that one to Nick also.
And as voting continued, a clear least favorite emerged.
Who do you think is going to get the short end of the stick on this game?
- Vance? - I won't be giving Vance a single vote.
- Vance hasn't said two words to me. - That was an interesting game choice.
I mean, I think it's good for Nick and Auguste.
I think he might have been strong armed into this one.
- I think he was talked into it. - Bye, Vance.
It's your last night here. It was not great spending time with you.
- Oh… - Gentlemen.
- I have the results. - All right.
I have all 51 votes.
The person who received more than half the votes…
- Dang. - …was Nick.
Dang.
Nick, you received 29 of the 51 votes.
Congrats, bro. You deserve it.
All right. And between Auguste and Vance, one of you received five votes.
- The other received 17. - Dang.
The person who got the second most votes and is safe by your rules…
- is Auguste. - Dang.
I'm sorry, dude.
- Less than 10% of people voted for Vance. - You played hard, dude.
That's surprising.
I'm a man of my word.
People have been saying the entire game that I'm gonna take a bribe.
That's not true.
I'm not here to screw anybody over. I was here to have fun.
Words mean nothing until he handcuffs.
If you handcuff your arm, these two are in the top 13.
Win it for me, one of you guys.
- Thanks, Vance. - Much love, dude.
- Appreciate you, man. - Oh, he did it.
I'm a man of my word.
Boys, you're free to leave. Just head towards the money.
Dude, you're goated.
How did you think of that?
We officially have our first elimination.
- It's Vance. - It's gotta be Vance.
Vance is officially the first elimination.
Oh, my goodness!
So, I don't know what Vance was thinking with that.
Vance, that was not smart. To go by a vote?
Vance, how you let them talk you into that one?
- It's silly. - That's a crappy way to go out.
We do a vote.
I feel like I have a disadvantage in that.
I don't know why you think you'd have the disadvantage.
Nick and Auguste outsmarted you.
- Big time players make big time plays… - In big time games.
You ever seen Titanic when the band plays and the Titanic is sinking?
Pretty much what we're about to do here. We're just gonna keep playing.
Without the added pressure of a timer,
some of the contestants were putting off their decision.
Some people played music while others played games.
It seemed like Ian, Tyler, and Bryleigh were doing anything they could
to distract themselves from their decision.
- We want to be done right now? - I think it's run its course.
It's your call.
Friends for life.
Could do rock, paper, scissors.
You guys both choose paper.
I'll choose rock.
I'm out. I'll just put it on right away.
I'm excited to go home and see my family. I'm all right with it.
You're rock, we're paper.
- We are doing a winner take all. - What is this last game?
Rock, paper, scissors.
$5 million game of three-way rock paper scissors.
It's the most intense $5 million rock paper scissors ever.
Rock, paper, scissors, shoot. Turn around.
Ian lost.
You lost.
I've never seen anyone do something this crazy in cubes.
Like I have to remind you, you are not obligated to do it.
- This is your choice. - Yeah.
You've given them your word, but you don't technically have to.
Let's see if he's a man of his word.
Ian, you're moving on.
Ian's a villain. Ian's a villain.
Whoa!
You are officially owner of a $1.8 million island.
It's official. Wow.
True, genuine human being. Deserves the world.
Yeah, so he's made this experience like, wonderful.
Go all the way and know that now you're not just fighting
for yourselves and your families, you're fighting for me and mine too.
So I love you guys to death.
We officially have our second elimination.
Oh, my gosh. Who?
Ian has been eliminated.
- Do you wish you were in that pod? - Well, yeah.
Bryleigh and Tyler, come on out.
Congratulations, y'all.
Ethan. Would you say that's karma?
Yeah. You don't need to be here anymore, if you're gonna play like that.
I'm bummed that I'm not going to the end.
I won an island for my family,
and I get to go home and spend time with them.
And knowing that they will be proud of me.
So I'm looking forward to going home and seeing them.
Five of the seven cubes remained.
While some of the contestants were still distracting themselves,
others were trying to figure out how they would make their decision.
We're the only one with two.
You're not gonna self-eliminate. I'm not gonna to self-eliminate.
I feel like the best thing would just be chance.
What if we had Jimmy come in here and put both of our names in a box,
- and he draws. - I like that idea, I think.
Yeah. I do too.
That's Catey and Ethan. We're working that out.
Jeff was teaching Kady and Hannah the lessons he learned
winning the first season.
Doing everything he could to set them up for success.
The fact that you turned down a million bucks.
Eventually, you have to cash that in, too.
It's not why you did it, but it doesn't mean you can't leverage it
and use it when you need to.
I think everything from here on out will be a little bit more strategic.
Psychological, thoughtful.
And as more and more time passed in the cubes,
some of the contestants began to open up to each other.
If it wasn't for my wife and kids, I would not be here right now, honestly.
- Really? - This is way out of my comfort zone.
- How old are your kids again? - Ten, eight, six.
Ten, eight, six. When are you gonna have kids, Brett?
I mean, we're getting married next year.
How long have you guys been together for?
I proposed on our four-year anniversary. That was March.
It's gonna be crazy leaving this place.
Yeah.
And as more and more time passed,
the inevitability of their decision began to weigh on them.
We should start thinking about what we're going to do, though.
- It's been a while now. - Yeah.
I've been going back and forth in my head, about just taking the bullet.
- It's not something we can ask you to do. - Nah, I know, I know.
I honestly think any of us three could win it.
Do I sound greedy saying I honestly think I can make it up there?
I would not envy your position right now.
Hey, you ordered a barber?
- Are you the barber? - I'm the barber.
Yeah!
Jeff!
Yeah, we're gonna have an elimination in our room.
Who's getting eliminated?
I'm sure you wanna know.
I am gonna eliminate myself.
It's time.
Are you guys ready to decide?
I told myself if I got here with good people,
I would not force them to play a game.
And my friend Chris, 204, did it for me.
I love you, brother.
That I would do it for people who I care about.
But this is a big moment.
I mean, he's turning down a spot in the top 13 for you two.
Thank you, and I promise that we will fight as hard as we can.
This means so much to us.
When we were standing outside, I was really overwhelmed.
He supported me in that moment, just emotionally.
So I'm telling you, you have to play hard.
You can play fair.
You think they can win while playing fair?
- I proved it last year. - Yeah, you did.
He's giving it up for you guys.
- Do you two want to handcuff him together? - Yes.
Oh, my gosh.
He's just taking it. Jeff, the winner of season one…
…has officially been eliminated.
- We appreciate you. - Yeah.
Attention, cubes, we officially have our third elimination.
Jeff…
…the $10 million winner from season one
has officially been eliminated.
- Whoa! - Wow!
- Yeah, we saw that coming. - That's crazy.
Hannah, Kady, you are now in the top 13.
- Last season, you won. - I know.
Now, you're here. How's that feel?
Believe it or not, it's starting to feel good.
I wanted to help make sure there was a good steward for season two.
- And I think, hopefully, I've done my job. - Yeah.
Let me know if we should bring him back next season.
- Until then, take care. - Thanks, Jimmy. Appreciate you.
- Sorry for locking you in a box. - All good. You've changed my life forever.
People have asked me, why am I even in season two?
And it's for my family. My oldest son, Jack, and Lucas.
And Lucas suffers with a rare disease called creatine transporter deficiency.
There's no cure.
We're still trying to fight for it. That's why I'm here.
We are going to find a treatment for this once and for all.
As this challenge approached hour seven,
Jack, Tyler, and Sue decided to draw cards
to determine which of the three of them would be going home.
And that's when Jack did something unexpected.
You guys want to do it? Pull the band aid off.
Do you want to flip them onto the money?
Low card goes home.
- Yeah. - Yes, ace is high, right?
- Yeah. Ace is high. - Okay.
One, two, three, go!
Oh, it's me.
That was so close.
Oh, Sue. I'm sorry. I'm sorry, sweetheart.
- I'm sorry. - Oh, my God.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry.
- It doesn't even seem real. - What's going on in here?
I lost.
To get this far, I can't imagine what it feels like.
To walk away with nothing, it's really hard.
To not only meet her and realize she is the person she is on TV,
which is a genuine woman that has had the opportunity
to see the good and the bad, and to still choose the good,
that has changed the way I look on life.
- So thank you, Sue. - Thank you.
Yeah. It's surreal because Jack and I are Survivor fans,
and we watched her season.
I grew up watching with my dad and watching her season,
like it's surreal being here with her and then just getting to know her.
She's a genuine person, so kind and caring.
We've had some good conversations. We both fly planes. That's pretty cool.
And just, you know, spending these last couple hours together in here,
like, I couldn't imagine being with another, you know, group of people.
I'll go put the handcuffs on.
You don't have to. It's obviously up to you.
- Well, they're great guys. - When you're ready.
Thank you, Sue.
It's official. Sue is eliminated. Jack and Tyler, you move on.
- Bye. - I appreciate you.
We officially have our fourth elimination.
Sue has handcuffed herself.
Jack and Tyler are moving on to the top 13.
It's been a pleasure, Sue.
- We'll talk soon. - Bye, guys.
Thank you.
Tyler, Jack, exit your cube
and join the other winners in the top 13.
- Love you guys, man. - Congratulations.
I really wanted to experience this whole thing,
and I really visualized myself making it to the end
and winning $10 million.
- What a game. - It's bittersweet, man.
Sue is a mastermind Survivor player.
And when we walked into that room, I realized my best odds
of getting out of that was to outwit a Survivor player.
What do you mean by… how did you outwit her?
Took a deck of cards, ordered it two through ace,
and I had an idea to kind of front load the deck
and understand where the highest cards were.
I think she understood that. Shuffled it a couple times.
I had already pre-prepared another deck of cards,
and when she was looking at the money, I swapped it.
Why did you pick Tyler over her? This is crazy.
I love Sue, but at the same time, Tyler and I have been together
for so much longer, and that bond was too strong that I couldn't break it.
Tyler, did you know he was doing that?
I didn't know about the second deck, so I got lucky with my pick.
Whoa.
He's on a smart team for a reason, so without him, I wouldn't be here.
- So I owe a lot to him. - Tyler and Jack,
there wouldn't be two other people that I'd rather be with.
You're both such kind people.
- I wish you all the best. - Sue's going to watch this.
What do you want to say to her?
If you had pulled the same move on me, I'd be completely understanding.
I hope we can still be friends after this.
I don't know if you'll… I don't know about the whole friends thing.
I'm sorry. I wish you the best of luck.
It was 5:30 AM,
and our three remaining cubes were still holding out on a decision.
24 hours, 48 hours. Whatever it takes, we will be the last cube standing.
And it seemed like the pressure of having to say goodbye to someone
they had grown close to was starting to hit.
I hate these cubes, man. Three grown men crying. No big deal.
We did this 'cause we wanted a guarantee
that at least two of us in this group move forward.
This is brutal, man.
I feel like I took John out already. I can't take you guys out too.
I got mine already, bro.
You guys gotta win something for your families.
Dude, we you appreciate that so much. You have no idea.
All right, boys. How are things?
We decided no game. I'm gonna sacrifice.
Whoa! That is not what I thought I was walking into.
He's killing me right now.
- He's killing… - I just walked in, and I'm about to cry.
I don't even know fully what's going on.
We've been boys since day one. I got on those towers.
I did what I had to do for myself and my family.
I won a million dollars.
I'm putting it on them now.
You grow so close to each other in this game.
And for him to do this for me, like, I'm forever grateful, man.
We love this kid. Seriously, brother. Come here. I love you, dude.
I got you guys, man.
All right, man. This is it.
Wow. If that's not friendship, I don't know what is.
- Love you guys. - We love you, dude.
Good luck, man.
All right, we have our next elimination.
I'm gonna call the people who are moving on.
- Brett and Cory. Come on out! - Okay, brother.
- Woo-hoo! - Big time! There he is.
JT has officially been eliminated.
This challenge had been going on all night,
and there were only two cubes left, one containing the $10 million coin
and the other with only two contestants inside.
Inside of this box is the 16 pieces of paper.
Put both of our names in a box,
- and he draws. - I like that.
I'm gonna pull a single piece of paper out.
I'm not looking. I'm gonna move it around.
Move it around.
All right, I have a piece of paper. I'm going to close the box.
So we all agree that the name I am holding will handcuff themselves.
- Yes. - Yes.
- Oh, I am so nervous. - Good luck to me.
Wait, Catey, look at this piece of paper. This decides your fate.
I don't want to look at it. Stop!
- Go ahead. - 157, 157, 157.
That's bad juju. It's gonna be okay, or it won't. I don't know.
The name on this paper that will handcuff themselves…
…is Ethan.
Well, I am a man of my word.
Will you please do it? You're making me nervous.
It's pointless at this point to try anything,
'cause I would just be sending someone home who doesn't deserve it, so…
I was crying my eyes out when I found out about the cubes,
but that was because I thought I was going to be against people I really care about.
I don't really care about Ethan.
No offense, Ethan, it's just because we don't know each other.
If you didn't listen to them, and you stayed on that pole,
I mean, to be honest, you could have $1.8 million right now.
- Just put it on. - So I don't even know how to put this on.
I can't believe it.
It's official.
Ethan has been eliminated. Catey…
- I'm sorry. I'm sorry. - She's moving on.
Thank you for being a man of your word.
- I was about to pull an Ian on you. - Aw…
$50K, dude, at least it's something.
I could still leave here with nothing, you know.
There are two people in a cube. The winner is about to walk out.
Whoever won, can you please come on out?
- What was that? - Oh, no…
Catey, you good?
I won.
Are you okay?
- Good job, Catey! - I won.
Okay.
- Ethan's out. - Ethan's out.
Yes…
- I'm okay, I swear. - You sure?
As she's holding her hip. Do you want me to go get the medic?
Nothing can bring me down.
And with one big thud, there's one cube left.
And in that cube is the $10 million coin.
Oh, it's gonna be all right.
With Jim and JC agreeing to let Monika continue her time in Beast City…
- You need to stay in this game. - Let me and JC duke it out in there.
You sit back and just watch us flip a coin.
They have decided to let it come down to a game of chance.
Even if I lose this game, though, I'm still the luckiest guy in Beast City.
It's game time, baby. Game time, baby.
Dude, it's freaking game time.
- It's game time. - Oh, finally. All right.
Guys, it's not just morning.
We're approaching noon. I haven't slept yet.
Guys, what are we playing?
Yeah, so we're going to give Monika a fast pass in.
We're going to take a deck of 52 cards, spread them out.
We each pull a card at a time, and the person at the end
that has the highest score stays.
- Do you want me to grab this? - Yeah.
We're going to turn around if you can shuffle it.
Okay. While I shuffle this card,
I want to point out that the coin is in this room.
They agreed not to eliminate Monika, which, if they uphold,
means there's a 50-50 chance that coin might not make it out of here.
So JC's not gonna want to leave.
He may be thinking he doesn't even want to play a chance game
that he thinks Jim and Monika will… one of them will eliminate.
And with that, that is all 52 cards on the floor.
- Oh, my goodness. - All right, I got the first pull.
- Okay. - I'm gonna go in the middle.
- I got a six. - Six, right down the middle. Okay.
Three.
That's not what you want to see, Jim.
- Let's go. Yes. - Ten.
No.
It's not looking good for you, Jim.
This single pack of cards had the potential value of more money
than most people will ever see in their lifetime.
- And JC was currently winning. - That's a big one.
Flip after flip…
Another ten!
…brought them one card closer to that $5 million grand prize.
Ace in this game is a one, that is the worst card to flip over.
Whoever has the lowest score at the end of this game has agreed to cuff themselves.
At first, Jim was way behind on points, but now it's starting to seem
like he actually has a real chance in this game.
- Yes! Yes! Let's go. - Whoa!
It's only a four point difference.
Jim, you can't afford to pull the ace here.
That's the only way you throw this game.
It's right there in the middle. It looks good.
- Please don't be. - Wow. That was huge.
Jim, this might be one of the biggest comebacks I've ever seen on Beast Games.
Oh, wait, wait, that's a nine.
Four cards left, JC.
Yo…
this is unreal, man.
This is unreal. All night long.
And he pulled the ace.
Jim, I don't think it matters what you pick now.
- I think I'm done. - Yeah.
- Yeah. I'm done.
I'm sorry, JC. There's no way you can catch up now.
Give me a hug, bro. Of course.
Good game.
- Wow. - Good game.
Wow.
You're good. You're good man.
You got luck on your side.
You're good, you're good.
Thank you for coming with us. Thank you for doing what you did.
Thank you.
To address the elephant in the room, JC lost.
- Yeah, fair and square. - But he has the $10 million coin.
Whoever has the coin, when we hit top six, can flip it.
I've got a lot of game left in me, man.
You don't want to consider it at all just to keep it in the game.
- Leverage. - I'll give the coin to Monika.
Are you saying that you're willing to give the coin to Monika,
so you and the coin can stay in the game?
- If he self-eliminates. - Yeah. She's going all the way.
She can get $10 million. This gives her a lot of power.
- I know it does. - This helps people push her through.
- This will help you get into top six. - What are you thinking right now?
I'm going to do whatever I got to do to get you there.
And now we are in Panama. Ian, welcome to the $1.8 million Island.
Whoo!
I can't wait to see his reaction to this villa.
Wow. I could get used to this.
Look at the view he gets every single morning when he wakes up.
Look at this pool. I need to hire a pool guy.
It's gonna be pretty hard to get him out here.
- Maybe, like a once a year kind of deal. - Yeah. Yeah, probably, probably.
I can see some monkeys flying in here.
Some birds flying through.
Wow. Ian's already popping some coconuts.
Now, I have to ask, would you have rather had the coin than this island?
The coin can be a weapon.
And I don't know if you heard JC when he said it.
He said, "I'm gonna use this as leverage."
But no, I'm happy with getting the island over the coin.
- I would too. - Yeah.
You know, Jimmy, on second thought, I think I'm just going to sell this thing.
