[ominous tone plays]

[automated voice] The three players

with the most votes

will be eliminated immediately.

- Oh my God, man.

- [woman 1] I hate this so much.

- [man 1] I don't wanna do that.

- [man 2] Gotta talk to everybody.

- Is there anyone that wants to go?

- [woman 2] Three is way too many.

- I cannot possibly.

- [man 3] Wow.

[automated voice] The first

of the two dormitory elimination tests

will take place in 30 minutes.

[woman 3] Oh my God!

[man 4] Popularity contest.

- [woman 4] Dude.

- [man 5] Oh my God.

- [Leann] Oh, Jesus.

- [Bee] I don't like this.

People have now realized that just

getting through the games isn't enough.

This is the first time that our characters

might really be brought into scrutiny.

Oh my God.

[Bee] And everyone is panicking.

These dorm tests force people

to make decisions

they wouldn't naturally make,

and we don't have much time.

[choral theme music plays]

[ominous tone plays]

We gotta talk about it, everybody.

And we all gotta talk.

Yeah, we have we have to talk about it.

[man 359] Hey, do you guys all wanna have

a group discussion about this?

- Let's get together.

- [359] Group discussion.

[254] Come on, everyone in.

I know we all want to be here,

but it's really deciding

We all wanna be here 100%, right?

But a part of the game now

is three of us has to go.

And we have to find

some equitable way to do that.

We could just find

a very easy either game or resolution

where we all agree

that three people could become eliminated

after we play this game

- [all] Nah.

- that everybody agrees on.

- [Kien] No?

- [all] No.

I like the chaos of their game.

[Kien] Nobody wants

to vote another person out.

We are the vibration of love.

I'm a keynote physician

and a minimally invasive surgeon,

so usually I play a team-leader role.

Every time we feel triggered,

if we have techniques,

we could start to center ourself

and ask ourselves to choose.

Are we coming from a place of fear,

or are we coming from a place of love?

Based on what I've heard so far,

collecting everything,

I think it is best

if there's a three-person tie

and we all agree

who those three people are.

- No.

- [TJ] No way.

- That's not gonna happen.

- [TJ] No, not with it.

'Cause we're already playing games. No.

330 is arrogant. Um, just

just not really, just, grounded.

Um, he's very entitled, and he has an ego.

In this game,

there's no room for arrogance.

You guys mind

if I say something about that?

So I think, like,

if anyone wants to leave,

of course,

that is kind of on the verge of it,

remember that, like,

there are people here who do want to stay.

I think for fairness, though,

because we're in a big group right now,

not everyone is always comfortable

sharing their opinions this way.

Like, look, give us some time,

and then we'll figure it out.

- [players applaud]

- Convened.

[gently suspenseful music plays]

[Rick] Places like this,

when there's gonna be alliances,

and everybody wants to look

for the leaders of these alliances,

um, my nature is to keep a low profile.

I've made most of my friends here.

My alliances have been made.

You know you got to have that alliance.

'Cause you might need

other people to help you.

Who Who are we doing?

We're not wasting our votes

on Doc, are we?

I don't hang around

with doctors like that.

They take control of things.

I I have very few doctor friends

'cause a whole lot of them are like that.

- Yeah.

- Um, I do not associate with doctors.

There's several people out there

that do have followers.

And by removing them,

the followers will scramble,

and this might help

the gganbu g*ng somehow get to the end.

Listen, as long as we're all solid,

I think we'll be okay.

I think we all need to stick

because if we spread our votes out,

one of us could get mistakenly

picked off by one vote.

[clears throat] No, I I am

I'm 100% with that.

And I I think it needs to be leaders.

- I'm gonna go for, uh, TJ.

- Are you? Okay.

- [Rick] Great.

- [334] Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

[374] After yesterday,

I'm just on edge with everything.

- Really?

- [374] Yeah. Like, I've had the fun.

I'm, like I don't need to be in

for the long haul necessarily.

I think everybody

have a sense of paranoia.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah.

- There's a lot of numbers flying around?

- Mm-hmm.

Hopefully not mine.

- No.

- Okay, thank you.

[laughs]

No.

286, my friend Chad, we have bonded.

This game is all about being ready,

mentally, physically,

and we connect, and

and, uh, that's very important to me.

[Chaney] All right, so let's talk.

Um, what's the strategy?

We have to eliminate people

and protect people.

Yeah, but we we gonna stick together.

But you know, TJ, here's the thing.

We need to understand our solid group.

- We have a solid group.

- Jesse and Sid is part of this group.

- Solid, solid, solid.

- [Chaney] Jesse is solid.

[Chaney] So I know

who I want to eliminate.

I just don't wanna be the first person

right now to make that decision

because if my team are not behind me,

I'm definitely gonna have

a target on my back.

[tense ethereal music plays]

[ticking]

- [beeps]

- People might be being strategic.

[Bee] I think so.

I've heard many numbers.

One of the biggest ones

I've heard is Dr. V.

Doc, "the doc," they call him as well.

I feel that,

'cause he's quite a big character

in in terms of well-liked, well-known.

Clearly a ve very intelligent man,

people might think he's gonna be a thr*at.

[Bee] He's a target for that.

Um, apparently 374 was like,

"I'm ready to go home."

Oh!

Apparently 374 is the person saying,

like, "I don't wanna be here anymore."

- [man] That was 374?

- Yeah.

Who is that?

- He was sitting over there in the corner.

- [man] Okay.

[Dash] I have a theory.

[softly] We need to vote together.

- Mm-hmm.

- You can't be voting a random bitch.

People are gonna be voting in groups,

and it puts everybody at risk.

- But do you think you're at risk?

- And if

Do you think you're at risk?

This is a personal thing.

You go do what you feel in your heart

you need to do.

- [Lorenzo] At this point, I'm confused.

- I am confused.

There's floating numbers though.

Have you guys heard the numbers

that are floating around?

I heard 374 was one of them.

- Dr. V was one of them.

- [054] Yes.

[359] I heard TJ was one of them.

It's dangerous putting yourself

in the limelight in this place.

[ticking]

I would probably say

we decide all amongst ourselves,

and we have decided ahead of time.

The game is gonna go on.

Every single day we're in it,

more and more people b

will be eliminated.

It's a part of the game.

[suspenseful music plays]

[ticking continues]

What numbers are you hearing?

I'm hearing 3-3-0.

[Chaney exclaims happily]

Confirmation, yeah!

Boom! Let's do it.

[man] Letting him do him

is gonna bite him in his his own ass.

Karma is crazy.

Yeah. Hmm! You right.

[ominous tone plays]

I have been told that, you know,

I do come across as, um, intimidating.

Like, I have a math degree.

I have a master's degree.

So, not only am I beautiful,

but I'm also intelligent.

You know, men, they don't typically like,

you know, beautiful, smart women.

They kinda like beautiful, dimbo women,

but I have the entire package.

My biggest weakness

is making impulsive decisions,

which means that I'm not taking my time.

I'm being impatient,

and I'm not thinking thoroughly through.

I have a great mind, you know?

Like, I can think through everything,

but under pressure,

you can make a mistake

just like that. [snaps]

[musical swell plays]

[ticking]

- [gasps]

- Come on, everyone!

What is it?

There's enough apple slices for everyone.

We walked into the room.

There was a bowl of whole apples.

- [019] Of green apples.

- Yeah.

It sounds like a real story. [chuckles]

[Lorenzo] "Oh, look at us.

How good we are."

"We cut all these apples for you."

They're coming with apples.

Okay. It smells fishy to me.

Like, it's not that they're coming

with, you know, chocolates.

So I'm wary of these apples.

We just wondered

if you guys wanted something, a treat?

I'm not that excited about apple.

I think I'm gonna pass. Thank you.

Thank you for the kindness,

but I don't want that.

[Leann] We're just here

to bring apples to everyone.

161, I found him to be impolite.

Possibly rude.

- [man] Thank you.

- You're welcome.

- Thank you.

- [Leann] You're welcome.

[Lorenzo] Okay, I'm done

with the story about apples.

I will naturally not go

out of my way to make friends

'cause I I don't really care about that,

and I know

if there's that energy in the room,

they would just come to me,

and they would be loyal friends,

and I'm sure of that.

Um, so, no, actually,

I cannot stand people pleasers

and go around, be like, "Hi, how are you?"

Discussing things you do not care about.

We don't have a connection,

don't have to hang around with each other.

We're just there for the circumstances.

I will not be doing that.

Even for the game.

I just can't stand it. I'm allergic to it.

Like, no. It feels fake.

It needs to feel genuine,

so that, I will keep it that way.

[musical swell plays]

[man 445] Yeah, I guess.

Game recognize game.

[ominous tone plays]

[creepy choral music plays]

[automated voice] Attention, players.

The vote is about to begin.

Players, please form an orderly line

in front of the keypad.

You all ready?

Lead the charge.

[Leann groans uncomfortably]

- [laughs]

- Okay. Do you wanna be first?

I don't I mean,

I don't care to go first.

You got this.

[automated voice] You will each have

to choose a player to eliminate.

You will all vote,

and the three players

with the most votes will be eliminated.

I am shaking. Like, even though

I haven't been out making enemies,

I haven't been in mess,

I haven't been in drama,

I just know that everyone

is on edge right now.

So anyone can take any little bitty thing

and hold a grudge against something,

and then, boom, you're up for elimination.

[automated voice] Players,

when instructed,

please approach the keypad

and key in the number

of the player you vote to eliminate.

[ominous tone plays]

I can't believe it. [chuckles]

[Lorenzo] Am I worried? No.

I mean, I don't really

have any beef with anyone.

I know I'm safe 'cause there's

a lot of people that people don't like.

[automated voice] The first time

a player receives a vote,

their picture will appear on the screen.

Damn it.

Ooh, this is crazy.

[Dash] The thing about this

is if you're the first person

to vote somebody new,

you literally expose your vote,

and that is

a huge disadvantage in this game.

You are guaranteeing

somebody is gonna be coming for you.

[tense music plays]

[dramatic musical flourish plays]

[buttons beeping]

[musical swell plays]

- [people gasp]

- [softly] Oh my God.

[374] Once I see my face go up

on that board with the first vote,

I know I'm toast.

One of my strategies has been

to project weakness in some situations.

So, you know, I'm going around,

I'm telling people

that I'm a little unhappy.

I kind of wanna go home in some ways.

So I think some people think

I might wanna leave.

[players groan and exclaim]

- [man 1] That's not cool.

- [man 2] Damn.

That's so savage.

Wow.

[Trey] First person voted for is 374,

and, like, that's a good enough reason

to vote someone out at this point.

Nobody wants to be the first person

to put up a new name and a new face.

I don't think that's gonna make

a lot of people happy.

[tense music continues]

[Leann] It's not really hiding

when you're second because everyone knows

who you voted for,

but I'm thinking about

who has been rude to me,

and I I thought that was

a good way to go about it.

[buttons beeping]

[anxious, growling music plays]

[Leann sighs heavily]

[musical swell plays and rises]

- [players gasp]

- [man] Damn.

- [178] Oh my God. Oh my God.

- [woman] I was not expecting that. Wow.

Why is she picking me? [sucks teeth]

[Lorenzo] There's snakes everywhere

in Squid Game.

You cannot trust anyone, I'm telling you.

[Leann] Every little decision matters

and I'm not going to be afraid

to make a difficult choice if I have to.

[pulsing synth music plays]

[019] I'm really impressed with player 302

because we're both

independent, strong women,

and us women need to stick together.

I can't wait for my turn.

Mm-mmm. They're not ready for this.

[scoffs]

[buttons beeping]

[buttons beeping]

[buttons beeping]

[Chaney] People are scared

to put another person's face up there

because then you gonna be a target.

[buttons beeping]

[chuckles dryly]

[Chaney] I see 161, and I see 374,

so we know that going into this,

we have to eliminate three people,

and I am getting ready to put

the next player up there on the board.

So I'm about to have a target on me

because I'm about to put

the third player up there.

[clanging suspenseful music plays]

[buttons beeping]

[musical swell plays and intensifies]

[ominous tone plays]

[man gasps]

Damn, she she did it. She did it.

Yes, I am serious.

Dead serious.

[scoffs mildly]

[Chaney] I'm standing here voting for 330

because my team decided to vote for 330.

And so we wanna try our best

to stick together.

When we have opps out there,

we wanna protect each other,

and be there for each other,

and be loyal to each other.

[TJ] 179. She's standing by her words.

She's not afraid,

and and everybody's just, "Whoa."

This is a strong woman.

[buttons beeping]

[buttons continue beeping]

I think it might be

about to get interesting.

Oh, it might be.

Good-looking guys up there.

Think we need a woman.

It is what it is.

Absolutely.

[exhales forcefully]

[buttons beeping]

[dramatic musical flourish plays]

[mock gasps]

Surprise.

[mockingly] Oh my God. It's me.

- Who would've thought?

- Who would've thought?

[Kien] Given what happened, I just chose

the same person that chose me.

I'm trying to give myself

a fighting chance.

[Lorenzo] I'm not going out

without a fight.

If I'm gonna go out,

I'm gonna go out with a bang.

I don't remember if it's "3-0-2" or "302."

I just wanted to make sure.

It's the same.

- I think I got it now.

- Either one. Okay.

[Lorenzo] I didn't like you

from the beginning.

Haters gonna hate,

but karma will bite them if they hate me.

[buttons beeping]

[musical swell plays and intensifies]

[ominous tone plays]

[gloomy pulsing music plays]

[clears throat]

[buttons continue beeping]

[ominous tone plays]

[Dash] It is so obvious

that 179 is the ringleader

of that core four alliance,

and a lot of the faces up on that board

are just simply not threats.

So I'm really hoping

that people are smart and type in 179.

[buttons beeping]

[buttons continue beeping]

[musical swell plays and intensifies]

[ominous tone plays]

[dramatic music plays]

[automated voice] Players,

the voting is complete.

The three players with the most votes

will be eliminated immediately.

[exclaims]

[Lorenzo] I'm here for the money.

I got no loyalties.

My loyalty is with the piggy.

[automated voice] The first player

eliminated is

[suspenseful music plays]

player 374.

Mmm. Gone.

[sucks teeth] Finished.

Brutal.

[epic dramatic music plays]

[automated voice] The next player

eliminated is

player three

thirty.

[man] We'll see you, man.

[Chaney] Mm-hmm.

[Chaney] Whoo!

3-3-0 has left the building.

[players clapping]

I'm excited because

I was the one who was ballsy enough

to put him up there on the screen.

It was nothing personal.

It was a group decision.

But I still feel

like I have a target on my back.

[music intensifies]

[automated voice] The final player

to be eliminated is

[musical swell plays and rises]

player 161.

[ominous tone plays]

[Lorenzo] I think people

are definitely sheep.

I got out today

because I was on the board.

Because she called me.

Otherwise, no one would've done that,

and I would've been still in the game.

I don't blame them.

I blame her.

[woman 051 sobs]

[door clangs shut]

Rose is upset.

[Trey] Yeah.

[keyboard clacking]

[beeps]

[counter chimes digitally]

[automated voice]

There are 70 players remaining,

and the total prize fund is $3.86 million.

[bank chimes digitally]

[ominous tone plays]

The first time no one clapped.

That's been one

of the hardest decisions for me now. Like

- It feels icky. It feels icky.

- Yeah.

[automated voice] Attention, players.

Lights out will be in 30 minutes.

The second dormitory elimination test

will take place tomorrow morning.

[Leann] I mean,

the only reason I voted for 1-6-1

was I had just seen him be

a little rude sometimes, and

I don't think he ever had

anything positive to say.

- [Leann] But it's a game.

- [Brad] It's a game.

- I mean, all you can do is play the game.

- [120] Exactly.

Well, I think I have some enemies now.

I was an editor at the New York Times,

and I worked in a lot of departments.

I was hired to work in sports

because that was my background.

I always had a ball in my hand,

I never had dolls.

I I didn't see the point of dolls,

uh, so I played sports.

My mom was an athlete.

My mom was a really great athlete,

um, for her time,

and I played several sports

in high school and younger,

but I ended up going to college.

I went to Kansas State University,

where I was the first woman to receive

a full-ride basketball scholarship there.

[musical swell plays]

- [Chaney] Were you scared for me?

- I'm glad you survived, girl. I was.

[Chaney] Aw!

- So I voted for that other dude 'cause

- You did?

- Thank you.

- Nah, it's okay, girl.

- I'm glad to see you still here.

- Thank you, boo.

Like, he's so sweet.

I do feel like people's true colors

are starting to come out.

I really just need my alliance around me,

you know, 176, 182, and 183,

to reassure me

that I'm wanted in this space.

Who you vote for?

Who you vote for? You vote for me?

[Dash] No, I was really nervous,

and I was trying to help save you and 302.

I'm glad you knew

it was a team effort too. Okay.

[Dash] No, no, exactly. So, I put my vote

on the one who went home first.

'Cause I coulda swore

I saw a 179 being put in. I see it.

From me?

- I'm just playing, Dash.

- Girl, don't play with me.

I didn't want anyone seeing

'cause I was like, "Doot-doo-doo."

No, absolutely not.

I would not do that to you.

I voted for Chaney,

but I'm totally lying to these people

and and saying that I didn't,

because she's clearly

the leader of an alliance.

So, during the next game,

I feel like they may come for me,

and I know it's not just me

who is feeling very vulnerable.

[Chad] A lot of people

say they'd get a tattoo.

- Oh, I am.

- That's awesome. Yeah?

I'm getting the calling card

with the circle, triangle, square.

- You're getting it? Really?

- The card with the color and with 232.

And then, um, I might even add

the gganbu g*ng to it.

- Really? Wow.

- Uh-huh.

I might get a collage with that.

- Look at you.

- [Stephen] That'd be sick.

[Rick] People are quite surprised

that I have, um,

some rather large tattoos.

Um, I have one that encompasses

my whole right lower leg up to my thigh.

It's the story of my life.

It's a tribute to my family.

Um

Most people think doctors, older doctors,

don't do those kind of things.

I mean, my hobbies

are too numerous to count.

And, uh, one of them is growing orchids,

and I have a large life-size orchid flower

on my leg for every grandchild

with their initials in it.

Eighteen. And I hope to put a few more,

although there's no more room.

[gentle classical music plays]

- [Leann] Good night, everybody.

- [players] Good night.

[Dash] Good night.

What a day, man. What a messy, messy day.

[bell chimes on speakers]

[automated voice] Attention, all players.

This is your wake-up call.

[man] Whoo! Let's go!

[automated voice] The second test

will commence shortly.

[uplifting classical music plays]

- [TJ] How do you feel?

- Last night was was hard.

I'm grateful to still be here

to see another day,

to still be in this competition

and give it my all.

Even just the thought of being eliminated

is a real wake-up call for me.

I need to keep, like,

as many people on my side as I can.

It's, like, don't make enemies.

I'm feeling so fired up

and ready to slay this competition.

Mm-hmm.

It looks super naive, but I've had

the same game plan from the start,

literally to do

what feels right at the time.

- Authenticity is the best strategy.

- You get Yeah. Oh yes.

We are all finding

person-to-person elimination

harder than a game,

and everyone is forming teams

and alliances and stuff.

Everyone who's in alliances

are seeking extreme reassurance,

and everyone's trying to decide

who the next people are they might go for

so that they can feel safe.

What are you guys feeling

about about what's coming up?

I think this is when they're gonna start

putting teams up against teams.

I think if we can stick together,

we'll be better off.

There'll be a time to split up,

but for now, we stick together.

- Gganbu g*ng!

- Shh.

[Dan] Easy though. Go ahead,

Lexie, you do the one, two, three.

- One, two, three.

- [all, softly] Gganbu g*ng.

- Hey.

- All right.

- [chuckles]

- All right.

Everybody here is a thr*at.

- If you made it to this point

- [Mai] Right? Yep.

- Everybody's a thr*at, you're right.

- everybody's a thr*at.

Y-You know I got your back.

So, whatever you need, just let me know.

- Thank you.

- Um

- And I'd do the same.

- Yeah.

[054] I just feel like emotions

are just really, really high in here, man.

It's insane.

Okay, guys, so this is the thing.

This is the thing.

There's a four-person alliance

between Chaney, Darius, Coach, and Jesse.

And there's a lot of people

that follow them.

We all just needed to vote for Chaney.

That's what I did.

I'm lying about my vote though.

I voted Chaney because she is the leader

of that alliance.

I don't know what you want me to say.

You need to be careful in this place.

- [woman 080] Yes.

- Oh, I know.

Be careful because you do not want

to have a target on you.

[intriguing music plays]

All right, wanna see

some 360 spins, Mc McTwist?

- Double-quadruple-cheeseburger flips?

- [woman] Yeah, I do.

I haven't done this for a while.

It might hurt. Ready?

- [woman] Whoa!

- [man grunts] There.

[woman chuckles]

- [Jada grunts]

- [players cheer]

[Jada laughs] Did I do it now?

- I'm not gonna lie to you.

- [Darius] Mm-hmm?

[woman 054] Dash.

[Dash] Hi. How are you?

He was just talking

about you guys', um, alliance, like

L-Let me have a seat, honey,

'cause I gotta hear this one.

He He He basically just said

that he voted for Chaney.

[Darius] What?!

He was basically saying

that would've been our best strategy.

I can't believe that.

I feel like is, uh

It's gonna be arm's length for me.

I feel like my my trust for him

has just gone [mimics plummeting]

Prize, baby! [chuckles]

Ooh, woulda got me riled up, girl.

That got me riled up.

[Darius] Wow. You know,

I thought he was our friend.

So I'm actually going to have to tell 179.

Player 141,

it's starting to get a little messy.

We gotta keep an eye out for him. [sniffs]

Girl, Chaney! You won't believe this.

[183] I'm kind of deaf

so I got to sit right here.

Okay, I'm listening.

[Darius] So, guess

who's going around saying

that choosing you

would've been more strategical?

- Who?

- Dash.

[ominous tone plays]

- Wow. Wow.

- [Chaney] Ooh.

- Mm-mmm.

- [183] That's terrible.

[Chaney] I'm not surprised. I really feel

like he put my number in up there.

[Darius] Absolutely.

Dash is out of control.

We need to start creating allyship.

We'll protect you.

[man] There you go,

[exclaims]

[players chatter]

[tense ethereal music plays]

Look. All of them

[soccer players chatter]

That was the leader.

- The ringleader?

- Hell yeah.

Mmm.

[woman 229] I am a watcher.

Seeing all

these male-dominant alliances form

rubs me the wrong way. Um

Being married to a woman, a strong woman,

we deal with this every day.

When I When I see this here,

it just really just

[scoffs]

It pisses me off.

Um, this is not what we're here for.

with a player of your choice.

Stephen, let's go.

- [Dan] Go ahead, Stephen.

- [man] Have fun.

- Yes, sir. Wait for me, old man.

There was no stability in my household,

no direction.

I come from a big family.

Uh, nine kids. I'm I'm one of nine.

And my parents

started having kids at an early age.

I'm talking

way too early to be having kids.

And we've been homeless.

We've been living in cars.

We've been ho house and couch-hopping

as a bunch of kids, man.

And we never had We didn't ev

We weren't even able to eat every night.

So I'm not very close with my parents,

not even my mom,

which I mean,

I was a my mama's boy growing up.

So yeah, I I I still talk to my mom.

It's not like we're not acclimated,

but the dad, my dad,

pretty much out of the picture. He sucks.

[tense ethereal music plays]

Oh, look at what we have here.

[gasps] Ddakji.

Go for it.

[anxious flute music plays]

You You know how to flip those?

No.

- Flipped.

- Oh, you have to hit it?

[Rick] Your turn.

Got to hit it.

- So I just smack it on top of it?

- Yeah.

- And I missed.

- Sometimes it's not always strength.

It's more like, maybe, like that.

Oh, wow.

[lighthearted classical music plays]

[groans]

[Rick] I try to put my foot there.

- Like that.

- [Stephen] Look at you.

Oh, that was easy.

Easy Easy throw.

[Stephen] Little corner.

- Try Try again.

- Like this?

- Yeah.

- There it went.

- There you go.

You are something else, Gramps.

- [Stephen] Wow.

[Rick] Got it.

This is pretty freaking easy.

And then I don't get it. [chuckles]

[automated voice] Attention, players.

Player 243

[ominous tone plays]

[Stephen] Damn, what the hell is going on?

[swallows]

[laughs sadly]

We're good, man.

[Rick] The cards.

[Stephen sighs]

[Rick] I thought

we were just playing a game.

It's kind of my fault.

Um, I'm not worried about myself.

I'm worried about Steve.

I'm thinking, "243, the time is up."

[musical swell plays]

[creepy choral music plays]

What the heck is that?

It's a candy bar.

- It's a what?

- A candy bar.

[musical swell plays and intensifies]

[Rick exhales heavily]

[laughs]

[clears throat]

Oh, my.

- You are something else, Gramps.

- Just call me the old man.

- I call my dad old man.

- Oh. Well

But I like it.

I can't bring another kid home.

My wife would k*ll me.

[laughs] Definitely!

[laughs] I thought

[Rick] I I feel relieved

that Steve was coming back with me.

I'm insane. Oh, Steve.

Holy cow.

That was scary.

Thank goodness

I wasn't responsible for his elimination.

[Stephen] That's crazy.

[suspenseful, brooding music plays]

Just low-key. Low-key.

Yeah.

What did we do? What did we do?

We did some dishes.

- [Chad exhales]

- [Mai] Breathe.

Oh, look at that. No one's in here.

- Ew. Nasty showers.

- [sighs]

- The other way. Nice!

- One, two, three, four.

- [players exclaim]

- Clap!

I miss my son.

I just had a dream about him too, like

What would your boyfriend say right now?

- Come home.

- [both laugh]

[sobs]

[sniffles]

[sighs]

I just miss my daughter, you know?

I just hope that she's not, like

My daughter's not thinking,

like, "Where's Mommy?"

Like, I hope she's just, like, calm.

I know I thought about it.

I was like, "I wonder

if my kid, like, asking for me."

Then you feel guilty for signing up

for this sh*t and leaving your own kid.

[sniffles]

[Phalisia] I'm doing it for her.

I think they're rooting for us. I think

I think they are.

[sniffles]

[both sob softly]

[Phalisia] So, we tried having kids, um

with IUI,

which is intrauterine insemination.

Wasn't We weren't successful many times,

um, at least five.

[smacks lips]

[sighs] And, um

[sobs]

[sniffles]

We were actually

on the brink of getting a divorce

[sniffles]

because it was really hard

on both of us.

Um, and, um

So we took a break

on just trying and focusing on us.

Getting back to loving one another

and en enjoying one another, and

[sighs]we got to another point

in our life where we were ready.

And, um

Yeah, we were blessed with a baby girl,

and she looks nothing like me

and a lot like my wife,

and it was my egg,

and it just works out so perfectly.

[sighs heavily]

[musical swell plays and rises]

[ominous tone plays]

- [buzzer sound plays on speakers]

- [375] What the hell?

[players chatter nervously]

[doors whir]

- [Jada] I told you, I told you.

- [Dash yells]

- [woman 1] I told you, guys.

- [Dash] Oh, no!

- Oh!

- [man] Ah.

[Dash] Uh-uh.

[woman 2] What is that?

[Stephen] What in the heck is this?

[Dash] I I'm scared

of being in the front honestly.

[woman 326] Why?

[Dash] Bad things happen

to the people in the front.

- At least we'll go down together. [laughs]

- No, I'm not going down.

What the hell is this?

[Dash] Oh my God, I'm terrified.

[automated voice] Attention, players.

This is the second dormitory

elimination test.

Five volunteers are required.

[Phalisia] Do you wanna go?

[Phalisia] Before today,

I've been like a silent prowler, I guess,

but now it's time. The

The numbers are starting to get lower.

I need to start stepping up.

- [man whispers] Should I volunteer?

- Hmm?

- Should I volunteer?

- It's dangerous.

Should I volunteer?

[ominous music plays]

[Stephen] There's no way

I'm gonna volunteer.

I don't want anything to do with it.

I'm not trying to have the

the possibility of getting eliminated.

Hell no. No, they can take it.

[Chaney] Mmm.

[man 183] All right. I'll be one.

Someone has to do it. Hopefully,

this kind of gives me the chance to

to do some justice

and get a good positive thing

out of this situation.

We got one volunteer.

[man 375] Clearly,

people can get eliminated.

But I'm gonna do it.

I'm just gonna take a leap.

Should I volunteer?

[man 1] Hmm?

- [man 2] Yo, yo.

- [Joel] I'm gonna do it.

[Jesse] We got three? Four?

- [Joel] Four, five.

- [man 130] Five.

[players applaud and cheer]

[creepy choral music plays]

[Phalisia sighs] What'd I do?

[sighs] My stomach is in my ass.

- What do you think that means?

- [Jesse] It's a jack-in-the-box.

Oh, my God.

There's gonna be one that has, like,

an elimination or something, like, bad.

[Jesse] Oh!

[Phalisia sighs]

[suspenseful music plays]

[automated voice] The five players

who have volunteered

to take part in the test,

please choose a box to stand behind

from the six available.

Oh, I feel sick.

- Money, all day.

- Hope so.

[musical swell plays]

[Phalisia sighs]

[Jesse] Don't overthink it, feel it.

[breath trembles]

[sniffles]

It's a good box. It's a good box.

[automated voice] The six boxes

in front of you contain a surprise.

[suspenseful music intensifies]

- [Amanda] I have a bad feeling about this.

- I have a bad feeling too.

[automated voice] Your box

will contain either the power

to eliminate other players

[sighs]

an advantage in the next game

or

your immediate elimination.

[players gasp and exclaim]

[exhales heavily]
