01x03 - Fire in the Hole

[bunniefuu]

Shatner: Previously,


On an unprecedented
experiment on mars.

We have no running water.

We need you to rappel
down a cliff,

Extract water from the roof
of the cave system.

Ariel: Oh, no!
The water's getting out!

- We're done. No more water.
- Computer: Mission failed.

Okay, it's down to
our base commander and tom.

The only person that we could
blame was the leadership.

Shatner: Now ten
celebrities remain.

Tonight on "stars on mars"...

Oh, my god!

I'm seeing some, like,
alliances forming here,

- You need to step up.
- Okay.

- [ alarm blaring ]
- fire!

Computer: Evacuate immediately.

Every day, something.

Go, go!

- [ all shouting ]
- oh, god!

Ronda: If this little
social network falls apart,

It's gonna be a terrible
experience for everybody.

- Tom: I'm a [ bleep ] shoveling pioneer.
- [ gags ]

And I think I'm a
future dark horse.

[ music playing ]

- How did you sleep?
- I slept okay.

- There was a lot of, like, [ bleep ] going on last night.
- Banging? Clanging?

Porsha was like, "there's a
dog in our room," at, like, 3 am.

- We think she was hallucinating.
- Yeah.

We've been here in
the hab for a while,

And I think for some people it can feel
like you're getting cabin fever out here.

Is this place driving me
crazy? Yeah, of course.

The only good thing is that I
was crazy before I got here.

I know I heard this. Like, pats.

And I heard... [ whimpering ]

So I screamed... I said, "girls!

There's a dog in
here! There's a dog!"

So she wakes up
like, "is she tripping?"

No one barked, porsha.

Five minutes later,
I hear... [ barks ]

That was not what happened.

You are hearing a full-blown
dog, and there's no dog?

Then you need to go home.

We're officially losing it.

I'm losing it. I was scared.

- I'm losing my damn mind.
- [ barking ]

The tough part is just...
It's just sitting around.

Away from your family and kids,

And it's a bit overwhelming.

I had not heard of space
madness and losing your mind,

And I think I'm experiencing it.

Ooh, I'm almost afraid

'cause I'm not in
the mood today.

- So I'm like... -
oh, this is bad.

So, we're just getting going.

I'm just... give
me patience today

'cause otherwise I'm out the
house by the end of the day.

- No, you ain't.
- I'm close.

The long game
here is brutal, right?

The mental side
of this is t*rture.

- Hi!
- Travis: Dumpling.

Ronda: Da-da-da!
Hi, my beautiful angel.

Travis: She was
being so cute right now.

You gotta hang up. You
gotta hang up. I can't.

Travis: Hang in there,
babe. You're doing great.

I love ya.

Robot: Arf, arf.

[ alarm blaring ]

Arf, arf.

Computer: Attention, all crew.

Mission control heard
you're feeling blue,

So here's a new
friend just for you.

- [ gasping, screaming ] -
oh, my god! What is that?

- There's a rat!
- A rat? A rat? Is it a rat?

- Robot: Arf.
- Oh, my god!

- Ariel: It's a robot dog!
- Arf, arf.

- I hate robots.
- Arf.

Computer: This is your
emotional support dog.

You'll be taking
turns to look after it.

We should name him roomba.

- Marisha! 'cause we're on mars.
- Hey, marisha, this way.

- Porsha: I named the dog marisha...
- Ah, he's following me!

But then I felt like marisha
was a little aggressive with me.

Like, she started chasing me.

Arf, arf. Arf, arf, arf.

[ yelps ]

I didn't like that dog.

- I got you.
- Hi, baby!

Sit.

Okay.

Good... good girl.
Good girl. Good sit.

Good girl.

A robot dog certainly was
not as cuddly as a real doggie,

But it'll do.

Computer: Lance and tinashe,

It's time to walk the dog.

- Arf, arf.
- Tinashe: All right.

Let's go for a walk,
baby. Come on.

Marisha, fetch!

- Go get the ball.
- Get it!

Go get the ball.

You do realize now we're
gonna have to pick that ball up.

Tinashe: Who do you think should
be the next base commander?

Lance: I don't know. I was pretty
adamant I don't wanna do that.

- I just, like...
- Why not?

'cause I like to go outside.

I just think it's lame to sit
there and read directions.

- Yeah.
- I think it's just important because we're not able

To successfully
complete these missions.

Right, I don't think we've found

Our perfect base commander
yet, or the best one yet.

Tinashe: There have been times
where I've felt very underestimated,

And so this has just been a theme
of mine, I think, throughout my life

Of just feeling kind
of like the underdog.

You know? You can't just write
me off that easily. I'm a fighter.

- I still think I'd be a good option sometime.
- I agree. I'd vote for that.

Tinashe: I am just
a competitive person,

And I didn't sign up for this
any other reason than to win.

So, next time base commander comes
up for grabs, I might put my hand up.

- Just don't vote me out.
- If I'm base commander,

I'm gonna do whatever it takes

To make sure that
you thrive, lancé.

- Okay, good.
- I got your back.

All right, ditto. Ditto. Okay,
I have one more question.

When are you gonna
follow me on instagram?

When we get outta here.
When we get back to earth.

Arf, arf.

You guys don't have that one phobia of people
making loud sounds while they eat, do you?

No. What are you about to do?

- Oh. Oh, my god.
- Oh, god.

- Is that just tabasco sauce?
- It's really hot.

Yeah, are you gonna... like,
is your a*s gonna be okay?

Yeah.

Open sesame!

- Okay.
- I never get used to that.

If I had to put my
money on anyone

To be here to the
very end, it's tinashe.

She's highly
competitive, ambitious,

And she's very likable.

She's not going anywhere.

- I wanna know your thoughts.
- All right, let's go in here.

- Okay.
- What up, lance?

- How was it?
- I survived.

- What are you thinking?
- The last two missions,

I thought our biggest
issue was communication.

- Yeah.
- I have the ideas, and I have the leadership.

- Yeah.
- But then when it comes to actually getting people

To listen to me, sometimes I'm
like, "can you guys not hear me?"

- I know.
- You know? Like, my volume level...

Like, that voice
that pierces through.

I could see this little bit of
competiveness in tinashe,

And I do think that she would be

A really good base commander,

But she can be a
little soft spoken.

So I think somebody
who has a strong voice

That's gonna cut
through the chaos,

And I think ariel will
be able to do that.

[ indistinct chatter ]

- Are these the dinners from 100 days ago?
- Yes.

- Oh, what about curry!
- Oh, my god.

Do I eat them in this
little aluminum bag?

I cannot. Freeze dried curry?

You need to be the mission... you need
to be the base control on the next mission.

- Sure. Okay.
- You need to step up.

I think ariel is a great leader.

She's a really
direct communicator.

She's a small girl,

But she is gonna get
people, like, whipped.

I'm gonna be your
campaign manager, I think.

I was voted that I should
be the first commander,

Um, and I didn't
allow myself to do that.

- No, no, no... no.
- Yes. The next few days.

It's gonna be really
awkward if I fail. I... no.

I gave it away, and I need to
have the confidence in myself

To do things that I
definitely, definitely can do.

- Arf, arf...
- [ alarm blaring ]

Computer: Incoming message.

Okay. All right, all right.

Incoming message
from shatty daddy.

Adam: All right, we're here!

It's time to choose a
new base commander.

- Oh.
- Oh.

- Tinashe.
- I...

You guys know that I feel
that I would like to give myself

The opportunity to show some
leadership and be base commander.

If you were to be
base commander,

What would you do to make
sure I'm not in the bottom three?

You know what? From here
on out, no more bottom three.

Tom, I would just make sure that your
skills are utilized in the correct way,

And I think that that's
probably the biggest thing

That we should all try
to focus on at this point.

Wait, I'm gonna
say what I think.

I do wanna be base
commander one day,

But I really think ariel would
be a great base commander.

I think ariel would be a
great base commander.

Porsha: Ariel should
be base commander.

She's a great communicator.

I mean, you can hear her voice

From miles away, galaxies away.

I don't really like
public speaking.

- I like giving direction.
- You're, like, an actress.

So... yeah, but, like, I
don't like that, you know?

I don't like being
me and speaking,

So I'm not really great at
advocating for myself in this position.

Richard: All right, let's
throw the vote together.

Do I give this to you?
Do I just keep my paper?

Give it... yeah, give to shawn.

Marshawn: After
tallying up all the votes,

The base commander is...

- Tinashe.
- [ cheering ]

I've definitely wanted
to be base commander,

But whatever is
best for the team.

So I'm kind of like, "I'll
wait until... when it's right."

Ariel, you good in the streets, I
know. You know what I mean?

- You're gonna get there. It's inevitable.
- I wasn't stressed.

- We need to respect democracy, guys.
- It's fine.

She'll get there eventually.

Computer: Tinashe, as
the new base commander,

You now have exclusive access
to the base commander suite.

Hey, I ain't giving up this
room though! But I appreciate it.

Hey, all I'm saying is I got the
base commander suite on lock.

You're no longer the commander.
Why are you still in that room?

Didn't nobody want it.

Marshawn said he
wasn't giving up the room,

So I think that
this will be the test

To see how she performs
as base commander.

Tinashe: Marshawn,
let me holler at you.

How do you feel about moving
out of base commander suite?

Tallulah didn't take the room,

But I think I'll probably
just take the room,

Out of, you know,
asserting my dominance.

Okay, this is [ bleep ] nice.

- [ marshawn
laughs ] - this is nice.

Take care of my room.

This feels right.
This feels right.

You kicked him out
of his room, for real?

- Yeah.
- Oh!

Tinashe is not [ bleep ] around!

- She is no... ah!
- Oh, my god.

Dang, he just walked
by with a cowboy hat on.

- You cannot play around here.
- How did you do that?

That man said he was not leaving
the room. How did you do that?

Ba-damn! Okay!

Do that, miss base commander!

- Shatner: Coming up...
- Computer: Emergency.

- Fire!
- Evacuate immediately.

- Somebody wake up porsha.
- [ gags ]

Evacuate immediately.

- Go, go, go, go! Go!
- Come on, every...

[ all screaming ]

[ music playing ]

♪ I rock a 30, but
today I rock a regular ♪

- [ indistinct chatter ]
- [ music continues ]

Computer: Tinashe, as
new base commander,

It is your job to assign today's
base duties to your crew.

So these are the
duties for today.

I think we need a couple
people on cleanup crew.

- Tom, ariel, and adam, you're on cleaning duty.
- Adam: Yes.

- I love to clean.
- Tinashe: It's so nice to have fresh food in here.

I feel like we need more.

So, natasha, maybe you could
harvest some vegetables with ronda?

- Maybe make us a little salad?
- Oh!

- Yes.
- Tinashe: Awesome.

Maybe we get the day
started with a workout.

I think marshawn and
richard, you guys would k*ll that.

- Oh, yeah.
- So that would be awesome.

Everybody got it? Boom!

[ indistinct chatter ]

Computer: All crew,
critical reminder,

Lower gravity on mars
can cause muscle wastage.

Engage exercise protocols.

Oh!

We ain't go backwards though.

- Yeah, that'd be tough for them.
- [ bleep ]

Richard: I am having
a little bit of a hard time,

But I'm always happy when
you're doing these workouts,

And you're doing a boot camp.

Do what? Which one?
Show me, show me.

- Backwards.
- Backwards?

Oh, the this... this
guy backwards?

- Marshawn: I told you.
- [ laughter ]

Of course, she is.

But ronda's really
k*lling it, you know?

She's got great footwork.

Marshawn: ♪ when I
wake up in the morning... ♪

Great teammate. Great
person to have around.

[ grunting ]

You know, it's just been
really, really cool, um,

The way our friendship
has developed.

I'm here. I'm ready to work out.

- Great.
- Yeah!

Let's do a little
warm-up on the treadmill.

Okay.

You know, I do
feel a little useless

Around some of
these olympians...

Tickle your fancy.

And professional athletes.

[ grunts ]

They're just way beyond
where the rest of us are.

- [ grunting ]
- mm-hmm.

[ laughs ]

- Yeah!
- Come on, vanderpump!

Do over!

- That's not right.
- No, it's gotta touch...

It's gotta touch
inside and outside.

Tom: I've seen some
alliances forming while I'm here.

Um, ronda and
richard and marshawn.

- Just... just... right, left.
- Let's see it. Let's see it.

- Right, left, right...
- For me, I feel like

I'm starting to
crack a little bit.

- Ooh!
- There you go. Arms, arms, arms.

The last mission, I
was in the bottom three.

That's, like, two
times in a row.

Um, it's just unacceptable.

Not so far back. Back, back.

You look like mario brothers.

There you go. There you go.

Richard: Your
feet getting better.

I'm getting to
old man territory.

I want to be mission critical,
as they say here on mars.

So, working on that.

- God, I love cleaning so much.
- Me, too.

There's literally nothing like
seeing all this dirty [ bleep ]...

- I know. Eww.
- And then watching it get so clean.

Oh, my god, it's disgusting.
Literally, so heinous.

Okay.

- Okay, we need lettuce.
- Okay.

Computer: Fresh food provides
a sensory connection to earth,

Boosting crew morale and
overall mental and nutritional health.

Let's try and keep the
rootball intact so it'll grow back.

- Oh, and then it grows again?
- Yeah.

- How do you know that? Oh, you have a farm.
- I grow lettuce sometimes.

The garden is definitely
helping me keep sane on mars.

It's like a little bit of home.

Tomatoes look good.
They'd be good for the salad.

It's tough living off of
freeze-dried ice cream

And everything that's
packaged and processed.

- That's beautiful. Ronda!
- [ laughs ]

I love this other side of you.
You're, like, earth mother.

Ronda: I don't know,
man. I'm not sure about that.

I have a reputation for being
an [ bleep ] I have to uphold.

Ronda is fascinating.

I was really scared to come here

Because people were
like, "she's a b*tch."

She's not a b*tch at all.

They really didn't help
you, did they, buddy?

She's got a huge heart.

Oh, you got a good rootball
though. I have high hopes for you.

I'm just kind of in awe of her.

Do you wanna bring this in

And then bring it back

So I can empty
this stuff out and...

Everyone likes her. She
just gives you so much.

- Richard: Hey, rowdy.
- What up?

- You need help?
- Yeah, if you want to water

- The rootballs on all of these.
- Hey, little plants.

Live! Live!

They appreciate the positivity.

You gotta speak to 'em. You guys
are doing great. Fantastic. Beautiful.

Hello. You know
where your room is now?

Why you come over here?
Out of all the space in here,

- This is where you choose to come?
- This isn't your room.

I don't think we wanna
keep letting you use this.

You know what?
You sick. You sick.

[ laughs ]

Aah!

Was it your decision to get into
acting or were you kind of more...

- I was four, so it's... you know.
- Oh, wow.

- You don't really decide anything at four. Yeah.
- Wow, four.

Ariel: I was so scared
leading into this.

I didn't really know
any of them personally,

But we're bonding.

My experience was rotten.

Do you think that kind of
experience is inevitable,

- Or do you feel...
- No, no. I'm...

Well, it depends on the parent.
It depends on your parent.

- So...
- Mm.

Tinashe: I'm really
impressed with ariel.

You really have to
be a strong personality

And a strong woman and
have a really strong sense of self

To be operating in the
entertainment industry.

I relate to that.

All right, see you
in the morning.

Good night.

[ electricity crackling ]

- [ alarm blaring ] -
computer: Emergency.

Fire detected in the bio dome.

Fire! Oh, my
god, there's a fire!

- Somebody wake up porsha.
- You guys aren't moving fast enough!

- There's a fire!
- Where do we go?

- Fire.
- Computer: Risk of expl*si*n detected.

Evacuate immediately.

Ariel: It said evacuate.

My goodness.

Every day, something.

- Get your [ bleep ] on.
- Evacuate.

Computer: expl*si*n is
imminent. expl*si*n is imminent.

- [ overlapping shouts
] - come on, let's go!

- Go, go! Let's go!
- Quick! Come on, everyone!

- Quick, quick, quick!
- Come on!

- Go, go!
- [ all screaming ]

[ gasping ]

- We gotta go! We gotta go!
- [ overlapping shouts ]

[ all screaming ]

Oh, god. Turn
around. Oh, my god.

Did you see that [ bleep ]?

Oh, god.

Our hab! The hab!

Computer: The hab pressure
has been compromised.

Assessing damage.

It better not be the plants.

I swear to god. I just
worked so hard on those.

Fire neutralized. Hab secure.

All right, everyone.
Get in the hab.

In the hab. Turn around.

All life support
systems operational.

Richard: We would
be totally screwed.

If this wasn't an experiment,

We'd be burnt up into a crisp,

And I've had enough.
I have had enough.

Computer: Mission control
is formulating a plan overnight

And you will be alerted
with further instructions.

Y'all, that was nice in there!

That was the last
salad we'll ever eat.

That was my little koi pond
by the time I was done with it.

Computer: Please stand by.

[ music playing ]

[ alarm blaring ]

Incoming message
from mission control.

From earth.

Lance: We've had a
fire in the bio dome.

We don't know the full
extent of the damage.

It feels like it's
gonna be a long day.

- All right, here we go.
- Give us shatty daddy.

- Oh!
- He's here, he's here!

- Ah!
- Hello, crew.

- Shatty.
- Shatty daddy.

An expl*si*n in the bio dome

Has destroyed your food
supply in a fiery inferno.

You need to repair the bio dome

And replant your
crops before it's too late.

Because if you run out of food,

You may or may not
have to eat each other.

Oh.

Ha, ha. Just
kidding. Not kidding.

Your base commander has
all of the information you need.

Later, they'll determine
who was mission critical

And who was not.

This mission will
test your survival skills

And will earn you the coveted
survivalist mission patch.

Commander, pick
your mission specialist.

They will be safe from
extraction. Good luck.

All right, crew, that's all the information
that I know, but you heard the man.

- I would love to pick ariel as my mission specialist.
- Yeah!

I chose ariel as
my mission specialist

Because she likes to
boss people around,

So I think she's gonna be
a very good asset for me.

Thanks, guys. Yay!

Computer: Base commander,
a hole in the bio dome

Means your farm is exposed to
cosmic radiation and cannot be entered.

In phase one, you must assign
a ladder crew to carry out repairs.

Once the hole is sealed and
the pressure test is successful,

It's safe to reenter the bio dome
and initiate mission phase two,

Replanting of the crops.

Porsha, you are gonna
climb one of the ladders.

Lance is also climbing
the ladder, please.

- And, marshawn, you'll have to hold his ladder.
- Oh, my god.

Richard, you'll have
to hold porsha's ladder.

Thank you for putting
richard on my ladder.

You guys are gonna be great.

Computer: If you do
not complete this mission

Within 25 minutes,
the soil be useless

Due to overexposure
to radiation,

And the plants will not regrow.

Your time starts now.

- Ready team? Let's get it!
- Yes! We're ready!

- Let's go!
- All: One, two, three!

Family!

Computer: Mission phase
one, 23 minutes remaining.

Porsha: If we don't
have any fresh food,

We're gonna have to eat
this vacuum-sealed food.

So we are really
about to suffer for real.

- Come on, team!
- Please exit the hab.

- Age before beauty.
- [ laughing ]

You guys are
saving our food. Yes!

Marshawn is upset that he
doesn't get to drive the rover.

- He's a big baby.
- Get out the...

- Get in the back.
- Let's keep the extra communications

To a minimum,
please. Thank you.

[ rap music playing ]

- Who's shaking it?
- [ music continues ]

- [ music stops ] -
you okay, marshawn?

- Yeah.
- Computer: Mission phase one,

20 minutes remaining.

Tinashe: Outdoor
team, you need to collect

The supplies from the
rover and the two ladders

And patch the exterior
of the bio dome.

Copy that?

Copy.

I'm gonna pull up a little bit

So we have the
trailer right here.

Porsha: I definitely
want to be mission critical.

It is not time for
me to go home.

I have so much more to do,

And each task is
getting to the next level

And I'm preparing.

Ariel: Guys, our
clock is running out.

Of course it is. Let's go!

Where's the bottom of the hole?

This will be fun trying
to get this [ bleep ] off.

All right, I'll do this part.

- You got those scissors?
- Nope, but let me...

- What's that?
- A rock.

- What the [ bleep ]? We don't need a rock.
- [ bleep ]

Just cut the [ bleep
] tape with the rock.

Marshawn, please communicate.

Damn! Improvise.
Where your big head at?

Computer: Mission phase
one, 12 minutes remaining.

- Clear on this side.
- Copy that.

Can we get the tarp to the
hole that's at the top still?

I am sweating my a*s off.

Guy, you guys need to tape

The whole upper of
the top and the middle...

- We got it. We got it.
- We are. We are. We are.

Ariel: Okay. Okay, great.

We just wanted to make sure.

Whoever is not taping, please
put one of the ladders back.

Ariel, shut up.
You talk too much.

Oh.

All right, lance,
watch yourself.

Computer: Mission phase one,

4 minutes 20 seconds remaining

Until soil is irreversibly
contaminated from cosmic radiation.

- Porsha: Oh, boy.
- How those heights doing for you, porsha?

[ grunts ] it's good.

All right, just keep going,
keep going, keep going.

You know, richard, I could
tell he just wasn't really in it.

He was holding the ladder, he
was doing what he need to do.

But he was just going
through the motions.

And I started to see
him mentally leave base.

My role is to hold the ladder.
It doesn't seem mish crit.

Okay, there we
go. I did it. I did it!

- Whoo!
- [ laughs ]

Thank goodness. We got it done.

Computer: Pressure
test sequence initiated

To ensure the seal is secure.

Pressure stabilized.

Phase one of mission successful.

The bio dome is now sealed.

You guys did an amazing job!

[ cheering ]

Great communication, team.

Ladder crew must return
to the decontamination zone

And await further instruction.

Commence mission phase two.

Next crew, please
enter the farm hab.

Let's go.

I really hope that the bio
dome didn't get destroyed.

Oh, my god.

Dude, I worked so hard on these.

My babies.

Yeah, it's a disaster.

- Ronda: The bio dome blew up.
- Oh, my god.

All of our veggies are dead.

Ronda: Not having fresh food

Is definitely a big
hit to our morale.

Computer: Bio dome crew,

Please make your way
to the adjacent septic room.

You must transfer 94
cups of human bio waste

From the septic tank,
mix it with martian soil,

And pour it into the
three planter boxes.

You have 30 minutes
to complete the mission.

Gotta open this bad boy first.

- Okay, perfect.
- Lefty loosey, baby.

Oh, god. It does
not look good in here.

So what are we
scooping into what?

You're scooping
the septic waste.

So the septic waste is what?

The stuff that smells.

Oh! [ gags ]

Oh, god.

This mission is more difficult,

More challenging
than I expected,

So our morale
needs to stay high.

You got this. Just
harness your chi.

Tinashe: So now tom and ronda

Are in charge of
retrieving the fertilizer,

Which is human waste
from the septic tank.

Breathe through your
mouth and try not to taste it.

Back on earth, I have
been deep in a rut.

But thank god I was able
to come up here, mars,

Get that fresh perspective.

So for this, my role was,
to be frank, shovel [ bleep ].

Being in the bottom
three kind of sucks.

So, for this mission I'm
gonna go above and beyond.

I'm gonna bring it.

I was born for this [ bleep ].

Adam, natasha, you guys
can go to the mixing area,

And you can remove all the charred
plants and trash while you're waiting.

Awesome. Let's do it.

Tom: Oh, god. What
have you guys been eating?

I'm going... oh, there's
a lot of chunks in there.

Did we have chili?

We were so very happy that
we weren't in there with the smell,

And having to touch it all.

- Anyways...
- We're in the [ bleep ] together. Let's go.

How's it going, natasha?
I'm good over here.

Good, good. I'm almost ready.

Getting all of this out,
and we're gonna replant.

Okay, I got these
ones on the top.

- [ grunts ]
- absolutely.

Computer: 15 minutes remaining.

- Oh, god.
- [ gags ]

I can say there was never a
moment that I was more happy

To be base commander
than that one.

- Adam: Great.
- That's the last of the bio solids.

Here you go. It's 94 cups.

Great. Do one planter at a time.

Ronda: Yeah.

I was expecting it
to be a bit more solid.

Ronda: Do you need me
to keep track of any of this

So you don't have
to count everything?

One.

Computer: One cup.

- Adam: Oh, my god.
- Two.

It really did smell like
vomit and [ bleep ].

[ gags ]

Oh, god, I got poo
on my damn hand.

Natasha: It stinks in here.

[ gags ]

I was gagging.

Once I start
gagging, I can't stop.

I did feel like I was
letting everyone down.

How can I help?

Ariel: Adam, I
know this is gross,

But you guys are
still looking amazing.

Computer: 32 cups.

Garden box one complete.

Natasha's totally struggling,
so I'm getting nervous now.

Garden box two
coming along great.

[ gags ]

Natasha needs
to push through it.

[ sighs ]

I know how frigging hard this is

For each and every one of them,

So I just wanna be
motivating everybody

To give their
best, give their all.

Computer: 64 cups.

Garden box two, 100% finished.

- Natasha.
- Yes?

You're not doing anything.

There are two sealed
large red bins of potatoes.

- Cut those.
- Got it.

Unfortunately, if I
had to pick one person

Who is the least
mission critical,

It would be natasha.

Base command, there's a
lot of hot dogs in this [ bleep ].

Computer: 93 cups.

Oh, god, I'm splashing diarrhea
on myself. That's 94 cups.

All garden boxes are
fertilized and complete.

Computer: Bio dome crew, you have
now successfully distributed 94 cups

- Of bio solids to the soil.
- All right.

To complete the mission, you must
replant the entire crop of seed potatoes.

The last thing to
do? Plant potatoes.

Then it became kind of a
group effort of the four of them.

Just give it a little
like, "cute little baby."

They are little babies.

[ cooing ]

Computer: 30 seconds remaining.

- Tom, is this side done?
- Yes, that side is done.

- Oh, it is? Amazing.
- Okay, so we're pretty much done.

Consider it done,
base commander.

Computer: The bio dome has
been successfully reinstated.

- Mission complete.
- Partners in [ bleep ]!

[ cheering ]

Aah! The mission was successful!

Please come join
the team out here.

I have a very tough
decision ahead,

And it's never easy to
send someone home,

Especially when
every single person

Has contributed something

That feels pretty
essential to the mission.

[ music playing ]

Great job, everyone. Please
keep your spacesuits on,

'cause we're gonna have to
deliver the trash back outside.

So don't get too comfortable.

Well, the mission was a success.

We did everything
we needed to do.

So it's time to
take the trash out.

Grab something,
and let's head on out.

Damn, lance armstrong,
why don't you do something?

I just brought my [
bleep ] out here. Chill.

This mission was testing
the skill of being a survivalist.

I don't know a ton
about being a survivalist...

But we were able to complete it.

Computer: Incoming
message from mission control.

Congratulations.

The mission was a
success. Wonderful.

It's time to choose which
crew members do you feel

Earned the survivalist patch?

- This is exciting.
- [ overlapping chatter ]

That was tough with the trash.

The mission was
super successful.

Everyone did amazing.

I really loved being
mission specialist.

I felt like I had accomplished
one goal, and that possibly

I would be able to
accomplish more here.

It gave me that confidence.

It's time for
difficult decision.

There aren't enough
rations for everyone.

You must now pick the
bottom three crew members.

Then you will decide who will
be extracted from the simulation.

Transmission is over.

So we have these
mission patches.

Obviously, a lot of people did
what it took today to survive,

- As this was an essential mission.
- Yes.

Adam was really not afraid
of anything today. I mean...

Not only was he unafraid,
he had a great attitude.

- Yes. Yes.
- He made it feel a little bit more lighthearted.

The only people who were
even somewhat unnecessary

Were marshawn
and richard, period.

Ariel: I mean,
we all love richard.

We haven't really gotten
to see much from him yet

Though either,
aside from physicality.

Even when marshawn contributes,

He does it, like, so
begrudgingly, so halfheartedly.

- I think we know, you know?
- It's a really tough call.

Mm-hmm.

All right, everyone. I know it's
pretty crazy and tense out there.

- The first person...
- I wanna stay here, period.

Tinashe: That
was mission critical...

I am the most mission critical.

You know, in my humble opinion.

[ laughing ]

- Is ronda!
- Miss ronda!

- Rowdy!
- See you in there, guys.

Let's go.

[ cheering ]

- And you get a patch!
- Oh, thank you. Thank you.

- Good work. Great work.
- Thank you. Thank you.

The next person that I
want to present is porsha!

- [ cheering ]
- mish crit!

I'm ready. Blow me.

[ cheering ]

- And a patch!
- Thank you!

The next person that I
believe was mission critical

- Is lance!
- Lancé!

- Adam!
- [ cheering ]

Will you accept this patch?

- I will. Whoo-hoo!
- Yes!

Yay!

All right, and the last person

That was mission
critical today is...

I don't wanna be in the bottom
three anymore, you know?

I've had enough of that.

I'm a [ bleep ]
shoveling pioneer,

And I got the stains
on my shoes to prove it.

- Tom! Come on out here, tom!
- Let's go, tom.

- First time not in the bottom three!
- Let's go!

Not bottom three, tom!

To not be in the
bottom three today...

It felt really good.

Whoo-hoo!

Good work, tommy.

I think I'm a future dark horse.

- Good work.
- Thank you.

Good work.

Natasha: I
definitely think it's fair

To be in the bottom three.

This is just not a
realm that I can shine in.

- The moment of truth.
- [ laughs ]

- Let's rock, paper, scissor.
- Mm-mm.

We did our jobs and we
completed the mission.

We'll see.

Who knows what ariel
and tinashe are thinking.

This is not an easy decision.

This is the hardest
one we've had.

I don't wanna lose marshawn
and sherm, you know?

I'd probably jettison
any of you guys first.

Richard and marshawn have, uh,

Basically kept my
sanity intact so far,

And I don't know if I
could do it without them.

Can we please have richard,

Marshawn, and
natasha in the airlock?

Computer: Enter the
decontamination zone.

Marshawn: All marshawn and
sherman did was hold a ladder.

If I didn't hold that ladder,

They wouldn't have
been able to do [ bleep ].

I gave you what you asked for

Because at the end of the day,

I wanna stay on mars.

All right, y'all.

Unfortunately, this
is the bottom three.

This is obviously
not an easy decision.

So, natasha, can you please tell
us why you deserve to be here?

Yeah, well, I don't
eat that [ bleep ] much.

- And...
- She's got a good point.

I put my hands in [
bleep ], and I really feel

Like I could
contribute in new ways

That I haven't quite
been allowed to yet.

I only know, like, working
with natasha today,

She had a lot of energy.

I always knew where she was.

- All right, great.
- Marshawn, can we please hear from you?

I think I deserve to be here
because I held the ladder

Like no other person
could hold a ladder.

- [ laughs ] - I held
that [ bleep ] down.

Yeah.

Well, I think marshawn has
consistently done the least.

- Tinashe: I would have to agree.
- Are we gonna survive...

He goes quiet when
we ask him questions.

He doesn't put the same
level of effort as everyone else,

And just coasted kind of easily
for the past three challenges.

Very... yes.

I love marshawn, but
it's been very obvious

That he doesn't put
the most effort in.

Marshawn and sherm
are kind of like a duo.

If one of them goes, I think the
other one's gonna be close behind,

And I'm gonna be close behind.

- Tinashe: Richard?
- Well, I think you guys got a very strong team.

I think natasha and
marshawn are more valuable

To this team going forward.

And, you know, I feel
like I've done my part.

For real? Oh.

He's more or less resigning.

I just feel like if we could
help him boost his morale

In being here, he
would be a huge help.

You know, it's getting really
hard to decide who should go.

This isn't a walk in the park,
you know? This is survival.

So the next mission
critical member is...

Natasha!

That was so unnecessary.

- Welcome back.
- Thank you, guys.

And last person who is
mission critical today is...

Marshawn.

[ cheering ]

- Richard!
- Didn't want to break up the band.

- I'm so mad at of you. I'm so mad at of you.
- Bye!

- We're gonna miss you.
- Bye, richard!

Bye-bye.

Ariel: It was an
incredibly tough decision.

Ronda was really, really upset.

I totally understand
where she's coming from,

Like, when you have
people in the house

That you feel like you
can't continue without.

But when richard
voted himself out,

He had to leave.

Richard: I think to a degree

I accomplished what
I set out to accomplish.

I didn't expect to
make the friendships

That we were able to make.

But the hardest part about
mars is not getting to see my kids.

Home, sweet home! Here I come!

- So how many are we now? Nine? Ooh.
- Nine?

Tinashe: Honestly,
after the elimination,

You could cut the tension
in the room with a knife.

Maybe this is
becoming a social game.

That's definitely a
wake-up call for us here

Because now we're starting

To think differently
about everyone.

The reason that I felt
marshawn should go

Is he doesn't contribute
much to the team

Except for morale
and excitement.

This is a team, you know?
We're here to survive.

This isn't where we vote people
out based on likes or something.

I'm gonna work out because I feel
like I need to get some stress off, too.

I know social is very important
with who you're with on mars,

But in my mind, I'm like,
it's about the mission today.

Like, I didn't know that
alliances were forming that hard.

It's just unfortunate. It's not
what this game's supposed to be.

- Mm-hmm.
- At all.

So we should be careful.

We'll go next.

Shatner: Next time
on "stars on mars"...

Computer: Warning. You have
five minutes of oxygen remaining.

- Run your a*s!
- I can't make it.

- Give it everything you got.
- Go, go, go!

I don't wanna leave
my team behind!

You're gonna die!
Are you kidding me?

Say hello to my little friend.

Get 'em!

[ all screaming ]

Oh, my god!
