01x08 - Human Claw

House Of Fear"...


You're somebody I think
I can definitely see myself--

Like, can we at least
have a secret thing going on?

- You got me, I got you.
- I got you.

- Oh, my God.
- Sorry, Jayleen.

You're getting a piece of pie.

You target my girl,
I target you.

- Uh-oh. Ooh!
- [groaning]

Hold on. Slow down.

- The winners,
Chelsea and Jayleen!
- [bleep]

The women have control of
this game for the first time.

The first person
we're considering
obviously is Lance.

Break my 16 years of veganism?

Who would you like
to put into the Endgame?

- We're gonna use Blake.
- Oof!

I want to take this as
an opportunity to play offense,
so I'm going to make a move.

- Ethan, come on down.
- Oh!

- [bleep]
- You guys have to understand

that only one person
wins this game.

Stop playing a scared game.

Ethan has won!

Oh, Blake has been eliminated.

All that's left in our alliance
is me and Danielle.

Watch out, boys.
I'm coming for you next.

Who's the first person you're
going to put into the Endgame?

The biggest snake
so far has been Rob.

Nobody trusts you
in the house.

I will fight you
every chance I get.

A d*uche move,
to be completely honest.

- Jeez!
- You just made the dumbest
mistake of your life.

You're gonna remember
this moment and regret it.

- Wow. Zing!
- It's time to work, diva.

You wish you could be me, babe.

- Fumbled it.
- Get out of here!

- Damn, dude.
- All you worry about
is yourself.

- Oh, my God.
- You don't have to
cry about it.

- Get it done.
- Who's crying?

My game will speak
for itself in the truth!

- You've been spreading lies.
- Wow! The gloves are off!

Johnny:
How did we get here?
Let's rewind.


[rooster crowing]

- Good morning!
- Ah, a new day at Fear House,

and people's wheels
are already turning.


With good reason.

The original competition
has been cut in half,


and Blake's rant last night
was a huge wake-up call.


[echoing]
We're all competing
for $200,000.

I just wish I had more
game players to talk to,

not just people
who want to, like, make out
with their girlfriend.

This is not that kind of show.

And people are getting
a smidge testy.


- I'm ready to talk [bleep].
- You have to.

I'm not looking out for nobody,
but my allies at this point.

I love it.
I'm here for it.


So here's the hot goss.

Lance lost his bestie
in the game


and is going scorched earth.

[bleep]

But from the look
on Danielle's face,


she's not buying it.
She ain't going with him.


You're not, like,
avoiding people though, right?

- No.
- Okay.

[scoffs]

Maybe I'll listen.
You wanna come?

- Mm-mm. Go ahead.
- No?

Good thing she's got
a secret alliance with Rob.


How you feel about
the dynamic today?

Uh, not great.

But, Rob, that boy
is playing all the angles.


- How you guys feeling?
- Really good actually.

If you guys
want to work together,
I'm totally down for it.

- Yeah.
- So how 'bout, like,
a top five?

Something official?
Like, we can ensure we go
as far as we can?

Would you guys be
interested in that?

- I mean, I'm open to it.
- Yeah?

- Top five is really strong.
- So that first person
would be Chelsea.

- Uh-oh.
- Yeah. Um...

I feel like you're
the person most in this house

that I've gone through
experiences with.

- A safe space.
I feel safe space with you.
- Yeah, same with you.

Rob keeps bringing up to me,

like, if we make
a five-person alliance,

especially at
this stage in the game...

- Mm-hmm.
- ...we can get Lance

and Danielle out of the house

and guarantee us a top five.

- Me and Dida, Rob's in on it.
- Okay.

- Jay's in on it.
- Yeah.

So if you're down...

Chelsea, despite her
pained expression...


Yeah. I'm on board.

...is all in.

- Excited to work together.
- I know.

- Let's get in top five, dude.
- Let's do it.

Here. You want your coffee?
Don't leave it in my room.

You like to leave
your food everywhere.

Ethan, one way or another,

you'll learn
that every decision here
has consequences.


Because in this house,

fear comes
in all shapes and sizes.


[chittering]

[Lance gasps]
Oh, my God!

It's a squirrel in the house!
There's a squirrel in the house!

There's a squirrel
in the house!

- Aah!
- Oh!

- [bleep]
- [screaming]

There's a squirrel in the house!

- Yo!
- [screaming]

- Oh, my God!
- [chittering]

[screaming]

[music playing]

- Now what does he have?
- I don't know.

- What is this?
- Oh, there's holes.

- No.
- Oh, what's in the holes?

Oh, my God.

- Johnny!
- What up, Johnny?

- Hey, Johnny.
- Hey.

We have to stop
meeting this way.

- Oh, my God.
- What is that?

It's just some good,
clean, American fun,
that's what it is.

Welcome to your next challenge.
We call it the Human Claw.

You will go face to face with...

- Oh, God.
- ...these!

[hissing, squeaking]

- Snakes?
- Johnny: Snakes and rats.

Aren't they cute?

All while dangling upside down
from that crane.

- [Johnny laughs]
- Upside down?

Here's how it's going to work.

One at a time,
you will become the claw.

Your goal is to travel between
these three snake pits

and save as many rats
as possible

from those snakes,
who are very hungry.

- Do they bite?
- These snakes won't strike

unless your hands
smell like rats.

One second.

Their hands are
going to smell like rats?

- Oh, my God.
- Oh, gosh.

Johnny: You will have
four minutes to do this.

Helping you move
where you want

will be a person
of your choosing.

You'll have to tell your
controller where to move you

because they will
not be able to see you.

Oh, my God.

Johnny: And to make things
even trickier,

there's wire obstacles
you'll have to avoid.

So you got to make your
instructions really clear.

Your controller,
they are not your teammate.

This is an individual challenge

for whoever
is playing as the claw,

and whoever you choose
cannot be chosen again
by any other player.

There's a total
of 12 rats in danger.

The person who saves
the most rats--

or if there's a tie,
has the fastest time-- wins,

and will pick three people
for the Endgame.

- Ooh!
- Three?

This is a pretty big deal

because this is
the first challenge

where it all comes down
to a single winner.

- One winner?
- Ooh.

I have been dripping
and drooling at the thought
of having power

because I know that people
are coming for me.

So I need to lock in and win.

We did a random draw
for your order.

Our first human claw is...

- Chelsea.
- I knew it. I felt it.

- [overlapping chatter]
- Finally.

I don't like rodents.
I freak out with rodents.

I mean, snakes, too.
This is not my ideal situation.

Who would you like to choose
as your controller?

I will have Jayleen control me.

All right. Why Jayleen?

We just worked really well
together yesterday

and I kind of want to just
keep that energy going.

I know I'm underestimated,

especially being up against
these really tough guys.


But I became a black belt
at the age of seven.


I wanted to be
the Pink Power Ranger.


Taekwondo has taught me
a lot of confidence.


It's time to buckle down
and give it all I have.

That guy is-- oh, my God.

I was going to start there,
but now I'm not going to.

[music playing]

Johnny:
All right, ready, set...

- Go!
- Go. Up, up, up, up, up.

- Save those rats.
- Up. Okay, stop.

Go east. East, east, east.

We should have electrified
those wires.

Tap it down.

- Go east a little more.
- East? East?

East a tad. Keep going.

You can tap-- tap it down.
More, more, more.

Keep going. [bleep].

- Oh.
- Oh, my God.

There's snakes right
in front of me,


so I'm absolutely terrified.

But I'm just like, all right,
remember your Taekwondo.


Go down, go down.

More. Stop, stop.

Just breathe small
short breaths


and just focus on that.

- All right.
- Go west.

- Speak louder, Chels!
- All right, you're good.

- All right.
- Whoa! All right!

- One rat in the bin.
- East?

East. Good, and stop.
Go down, go down.

- Down? Up?
- Up, up, up.

West. Go west, go west, west.
Sorry, baby. Okay.

- Oh, she has another.
- Stop.

Oh, my God, [bleep] that.

- Nope. Go north.
- Oh, my gosh.

And stop.
Go up, go up, go up.

- West?
- Up, up, up, up.

Up, up, up. Up, up, up.
And stop. Okay.

Oh, my God,
she's doing good, dude.

Aah! Go up, go up, go up.

All right, keep going.
Just keep going.

[bleep]

Okay, down. Go up.
Go, uh, south.

- South?
- Three...

- Stop. Unh! Okay.
- ...two, one.

Time is up.
Chelsea got eight rats.

- You did a good job.
- That was terrifying.

- Lance, you're up next, sir.
- All righty.

I'll choose Danielle
as my controller.

Well, let's do it.
I can't wait.

This is not a challenge
I want to do at all.


I literally could have
nosebleeds instantly

and it drips onto the rats
and the snakes

and it just causes
mass hysteria down there.

But I have to dial in
because a win is essential.


The duo of Lance
and Danielle is all we got.


And if I let
my fears take over,


one of us is in jeopardy of
leaving the Fear House tonight.

- Go!
- East, east, east, Danielle.

East, east, east.

- Down. Unh!
- [hissing]

- Oh!
- Ooh!

[gasping]

- West, west.
- Louder.

West, west!

[bleep]

- Oh, that-- it's gonna-- and...
- East, east, east, east.

- East, east, east.
- A little assist from the rat.

Being surrounded by rats
and snakes is scary as heck.


And the way that they
try to bite has me on edge.


- Aah!
- Oh, my God.

- Up, up, up, up, up!
West, west, west, west!
- What?

[bleep]

- All right.
- Oh, he got another one.

- South, south. Wait, wait.
- South?

There you go.
Up, up, up, up, up.

- What?
- Up, up, up, up!

- [bleep]
- Swing around.

What? There you go.

- Aah!
- Here you go, buddy.

- There you go.
- Danielle, north.

Oh, my God.
Wait, Danielle.

- Louder.
- I don't know where I'm at.

I don't know
what's happening now.

- It's very balletic.
- Danielle.

- What?
- [bleep]

- Oh, my God.
- sh**t.

- I don't know where I'm at.
Stop, Danielle.
- Louder.

Up, up, up, Danielle!
Up, up, up, up, up!

Where am I? Aah!

I don't know where I'm at.

Oh, my God.
Where am I? Where am I?

The blood's rushing to his head.
He doesn't know what he's doing.

North! North, Danielle.

- Johnny: 30 seconds, Lance.
- East, east, east.

Step it up.
This is how someone gets bit.

Wait, stop, stop!
Up, up, up, up, up!

- What?
- South, south, south!

- East. West, west, west, west.
- East?

Where am I?
South, south, south.

- East! South and east!
- Oh, God.

- Aah! West!
- Five.

- Four, three, two...
- North, north, north.

- North. North.
- ...one. That's it.

Three rats in the bin.

I'm feeling so defeated.

Only getting a few rats
really is messing with me.


- Good try.
- Now I'm hoping and praying

Danielle wins
and saves us both.

- So, next up, Ethan.
- [whistles]

- So?
- I'm gonna go with Dida.
He's my boy.

I think we have
a good connection.

- Hell, yeah.
- All right, go get ready.

- All right.
- Sweet.

- [hissing]
- Damn.

That's a lot more snakes
than I thought.

- Go!
- East!

Stop, stop!

- No!
- [bleep]

- What?
- Keep going, keep going,
keep going, keep going.

Keep going, keep going, and up.

- He's going west, and he has...
- Keep going west.

...gently dropped the rat in.
Way to go, Ethan.

- South!
- That's his first rat.

- Down, down, down.
- Okay.

- Aah! Okay, down!
- Okay.

- Aah! Ah, down!
- Come on, Ethan,
pick up the RPM.

Pick up the rats per minute?
Is that...

- South!
- Oh, he has his second rat.

- Keep going south.
- Oh, my gosh.

Ethan's moving a lot faster
than everyone else.

- Down!
- Head first, face in,
no hesitation.


- Keep going north.
- That man is a beast.

- All right,
there's the eighth rat.
- Keep going!

- He has tied Chelsea.
- Damn. Crushin'.

- Yep!
- Going after his tenth rat.
And he kissed the rat.

- Aah!
- What do you need me--

- Up!
- I'm going!

You didn't say anything!

I wish I had
they joystick for this.

- So much easier.
- You're a pilot, right?

- Yeah.
- Will they get
this one in time? 11!

- One more and you got them all.
- Aah!

- Whoa!
- Down, down, down.

- Up! Up!
- Yep.

Will he get this in?

- Ha!
- Oh, it's not in! It's not in!

That's his 12th rat!
You're done!


Ethan takes the lead.

- [groans]
- That was terrifying.

Dida, you are up next.

Who are you going to
pick to operate?

- Well, obviously, Ethan.
- All right.

- [hissing]
- Dang.

[music playing]

- Go!
- Down and east.

Down, down, down,
down, down, down.

Up, up, up, up, up!

- Oh, he's got the first rat.
- Up, up, up.

- All right.
- South and east!

- Wait, no! North, north!
- Breathe, Dida!

- Keep going, keep going.
- I know it sounds weird,

but I've always
wanted to be Spider-Man.

A little Batman.
Just kind of upside down
would be pretty cool.

- Bull's-eye.
- But at this moment,
I'm not going to lie.


- I'm freaking out.
- Aah! Aah!

Oh. Watch the rat.
Watch the rat.

Hard west, hard west,
hard west.

- Oh!
- [bleep]

Oh, the rat
is with the snakes.

Down, down!
Hard down, hard down, hard down.

- No!
- Back up, back up, back up.

Oh, my God. Back up.

- Whoo!
- Oh, wow.

- Good job, Dida.
- Good job, Dida and Ethan.

I love you so much. Sorry.

I'm so sorry. Okay.

I need you to get
in there for me, buddy. Aah!

- Okay. Aah!
- All right, Dida's got 11.

Not enough to beat
Ethan's 12, though.

Danielle, who are you
going to choose?

I'm going to throw it
back at Lance.

All right, let's get to it.

Oh, my gosh.

I've already been bitten by
a bunch of snakes...


- Aah!
- ...and that was just my hand.

Now I'm going head first,

so I am absolutely
freaking out.

East! Down, down!
Keep going till I say stop.

- Up, up, up, up, up!
- Her first rat.

Up, up!
East, east! Sorry, east!

Sorry. Up, up, east!

They're having some
communication troubles.

- Stop!
- That's her seventh rat.

- There's eight rats.
- Hang in there.

- You're doing great.
- There goes the ninth rat.

- [hissing]
- Up, up, up!

- Oh, my God.
- South.

- You got it, Danielle.
- It's going to come
down to the wire.

- East, east! Down, down!
- Oh, wire. Wire.

Up, up, up! East, east.
East and south.

- East and south.
- No, no, no. Watch the wire.

- Wait, wait, wait.
- Watch the wire!
Watch the wire!

- Wait, wait. Wait, wait, wait.
- Get the wire off your neck.

There you go.
You got it, Danielle.

- South!
- Johnny: Three, two, one.

- That's time!
- Great job, Danielle.
Great job.

- That was close.
- I'm so mad right now

because I only got 11 rats
and I needed 12 to beat Ethan.


Now I'm relying fully on Rob
to keep me out of this Endgame.

Jayleen, who are you
going to choose to operate?

- Rob.
- Go!

North, north, west.

Tell me when to stop.
Down, down, down!

I grew up in Florida.

I got bitten by snakes
when I was a kid.


- Eek!
- And it's traumatizing.

But also I love animals,
so I obviously want to save


- the rats from the snakes.
- [squeaking]

And I want to help them all.

- North!
- North.

Stop! South!

Down! Down!
Up, up, up, up, up, up!

Down?

- South, south!
- South. Come on, Jay!

- West. West! Stop!
- Ooh, behind the back.

- Now she's just showing off.
- South! Eek!

Down! Up, up, up! North!

- North! North! Aah!
- North!

- Oh, she's got 12 rats.
- She tied.

- Wow, that was impressive.
- Good job, Jay!

- [groaning]
- Yes, Jay!

- They got on a good tear.
- Oh, my God.

- That was horrifying.
- You k*lled it.

Since there's a tie,
it's whoever got the 12th
rat the fastest.

But Rob still has to go,

and it's down
to you and Chelsea,

because, well,
she's the only one left.

- Let's go!
- Let's go, let's go, let's go.

Rob and I do have an alliance,

but I don't know
if I necessarily trust him.


Oh, my God, that's scary.

So I could totally
sabotage Rob right now.

- Go!
- East.

Down, down, down.

- Keep going down.
- Down!

- Up.
- Up, let's go!

- Stop. Stop.
- There's his first rat.

Making pretty good time.

- Come on, you got it.
- South!

Stop!

- One of these snakes has a rat.
- Oh!

- Put me down!
- Don't be afraid to get bit.

- Great. Up!
- Good job.

You got it.

- [sighs]
- Down, down! Stop.

- Up. West a little!
- West?

- South!
- Oh, yeah, this is
going to be close.

Down! Up! Up and north!

North, north, north!

- North, north! South!
- Oh, they are smoking.

Down! Down! Down!


Will they get this one in time?

- And up, up, up, up!
- Chelsea! Up!

Up, up, up! Chelsea!

- Up, up, up!
- Gonna be close.

Chelsea!

And up, up, up, up! Chelsea!

I could totally
sabotage Rob right now.

- Up!
- But I want to do
right by him.


If I help Rob win,
he'll remember this moment.


It's going to help me
in the long run.

- So it feels like a win-win.
- Up!

- Up!
- This will be his 12th rat.

- Sorry, little guy.
- Good job!

- That's it!
- Hey!

- Let's go!
- Johnny: We've got ourselves
a three-way tie.

Whew.

[hissing]

Jayleen, Rob, and Ethan,
you had 12 rats,

and it's whoever
got the 12th rat the fastest.

That winner is...

- Rob. You took it.
- Let's go!

- Unh!
- Way to go.

- [cheering]
- Good job, bro.

Johnny: All right, Rob.

You are safe from elimination.

Leaves everyone else at risk.

And you get to put
three people into the Endgame.

You got a lot of power.

All right, I would start
kissing up to Rob now.

You can head back
to the Fear House.

- Great teamwork.
Great teamwork.
- Good job, Chels.

If he wants to be
strategic about it,

I think his best option would be
the Dida and Ethan option.

Lance:
I'm a for sure person.

This is going to be
his payback for Jayleen.

It's out of my hands.
There's nothing I can do.

I need to just get myself
mentally prepared.

I feel bad because
I'm not as panicked as Lance

about potentially
facing elimination.

I just got to put my wits
to the test, you know,
if I want to be here.

I have been talking to Rob
kind of in secret.

We do have
an alliance together.


And I expect him to have
that same strategic mind

and try to get out
his biggest competitors.

- Let's find a place to talk.
- Where's the other two?

- Sleeping?
- Everybody had a long day.

Yeah. First, obviously, congratulations.

- Thank you.
- Johnny mentioned
you're a pilot,

- which is kind of awesome.
- Yeah, yeah.

That's actually
one of the things that
I'm trying to do.

- Shut up.
- Yeah.

And, honestly, if we had
known that about each other,

- we would have had
so many more conversations.
- That's crazy.

- That's crazy.
We still got time.
- Yeah, exactly.

Well, hopefully,
if you put me in,
I have way more time.

- We can have a whole
conversation about it.
- Hell, yeah.

I know that throughout
the course of this game,
I have never said your name.

- Yeah.
- I know for a fact,

Dida and Ethan, they've said
your name at some point.

- Yeah.
- So I think take that
in consideration.

- Yeah.
- If I don't put you in,

would you agree to not put me in
in the next one?

I can make that deal with you.

If you keep me out,
I will keep you out.

- I appreciate it. All right.
- Okay?

I think that challenge meant
a lot more than we thought.

Yeah. I think a lot more.

[beeping]

Oh.

[sighs]

- Robert!
- Rob!

Light's on. Let's go.

Good luck in there, buddy.

- Enjoy.
- Thanks, boys.

Let's see it.

[panting]

What the...

[screaming, groaning]

- [gasps]
- Aah!

Ooh, man.

That's going to suck.

Oh, God, I'm going to
have to think about this.

I'm so proud of you.

- You did so good.
- Proud of you.

Um, what have you been hearing?

- Nothing. I mean,
I know you're picking Lance.
- Nothing?

What would you do
if you were my shoes?

You know, maybe
you want to put in someone
who's a threat to you.

- You can put in--
- So you're saying, like,
Dida or Chelsea?

No, I'm saying Dida or Ethan.

Rob: Well,
if I pick either one of them,

both of them
are going to come for me.

I would hate Chelsea
to be an option.

I would be mad at Rob

if he picks Chelsea
for the Endgame.


He does not want
to see me mad.

Somebody from that five
is going to go in.

- Obviously, it's not you.
- Yeah.

- Yeah.
- But the math isn't mathing.

[bleep]

It's going to get intense here.

I don't know
what to do right now.


I've got relationships
in this household

with basically everybody
except for Lance.

But Danielle and I have
this secret alliance going on.

I want to keep her safe,
but at the same time,


I've got an alliance
with Ethan and Dida.


I thought it was smarter

to be working with them
than against them.

And then there's Chelsea.

Chelsea just
helped me so much


in the human claw challenge
to get this win.


This is just
an impossible situation.

I'm going to piss
a lot of people off.

I can't do this.

[rooster crowing]

Let's see what we have today.

- Hey, Johnny.
- Hey, Johnny.

- Hello.
- What is this?

- [all gasping]
- Oh!

This looks like
another t*rture device.

Entry level stuff, Jayleen.

[Johnny laughs]

Welcome to your Endgame.

You may be wondering
why you're up so early.

Well, the early bird
gets the worm.

- Or 13,000 of them.
- Ugh.

- Heh.
- Oh, my God.

We call this challenge
Head Games.

One at a time, you will be
strapped to that board

with your head inside
a clear box.

On my signal,
you will start to spin.

- What?
- Oh, my God.

Oh, God.

Below you is that
container of these.

A delightful c*ck of snakes,
hundreds of millipedes,

over 13,000 worms, and crabs.

You've got to get them
if you want to stay
in the competition.

- Crabs?
- Anyone? Crabs before?

- Never.
- No.

Aah!

I hate creatures, critters.

I actually call my dad
to come pick bugs


out of my yard,
in my house.


This is literally
my worst nightmare.

Let me tell you
how this will work.

You must try to scoop
as many critters up as possible.

- You gotta really dig in there.
- Mm.

And then put it all
inside your helmet.

- [gasping]
- Where they will crawl

all over your face, mouth, ears,

and basically any hole
they can find.

I don't like anything
touching my face,

and now there's bugs
and worms and dirt?


Hell, no.

You will get seven spins
to do this.

What you collected
will be weighed.

The two who collect
the most disgusting icky stuff

according to its weight
will be safe.

The one who collects the least,
unfortunately, will be out.

Grab enough crabs and worms,
you may be safe.

If I were you,
I would grab the snakes

- because they weigh the most.
- Okay.

Rob, you won
our challenge earlier,

so you alone will
decide the three people
who will face elimination.

Come on up here and join me.

This is the first time
in our competition

that one individual
has held this much power.

You look like you got
the weight of the world
on your shoulders.

But what shoulders!

Before Rob makes his decision,

do any of you
want to plead your case?

I'll plead.

Rob, I think I had
the opportunity to sabotage you.

- Down! Up! Good!
- Down, down!

But I respect you as a player,
and I wanted to do right by you.

So I think that ended
well for you,

and I hope you keep that in mind
when you make your decision.

I appreciate that.

I put you in an Endgame because
you put me in an Endgame
the first challenge.

And since then,
I've won multiple challenges

and I have kept you out of it.

All right, so, Rob,
you've been given
the opportunity

to go against a powerhouse duo
in this game,

and I think it would be
completely squandered if you
didn't take this chance,

because if you had not won this,

you would be in
this Endgame right now.

So you're still at risk.

I think strategically,
it would be one
of the biggest fumbles

if you did not take this chance
to split them up.

Anyone else? Oh, Lance!

I would be a peasant to sit here
and beg and plead,

so I stand here
as the king that I am

accepting my fate
in the Endgame

because I would never plead
to an individual like you, Rob.

And at the end of the day,
you are someone

who is intimidated
by people with rambunctious,
outgoing personalities

just because you lack
the ability to even emote
your emotions.

Trust me, I will use
every fiber of my being
to ensure that you

are not walking away with
$200,000 at the end of this.

Okay. Interesting strategy.

I am on the edge of my seat.

Who's the first person you're
going to put into the Endgame?

The first person is Lance.
You're going to the Endgame.

Definitely.
I'm not one of the other guys
that might be scared.

Because, baby, if I had
a chance to pull you in,

I will fight you
every chance I get.

I'm definitely
not scared of you.

I'm not an easy beat, baby boy,

and you're just
not my cup of tea.

Jeez!

- It's time to work, diva.
- And I will work, diva.

You wish you could be me, babe.

Wow.

Okay, who is the next person

you're putting
into the Endgame and why?

The next person
I'm putting in the Endgame

is somebody I've got
so much respect for,

has done such a good job
in this game,

and I'm just out of names here.

Danielle,
it's going to be you.

- Ooh.
- [groaning]

You fumbled it.
You fumbled it, babe.

Of course.
Scared gameplay!

- Ooh.
- Look, you got this, girl.

- Mm-hmm.
- So how do you feel about
this, Danielle?

I think you made a mistake

because
I haven't gone after you.

Rob and I have
had this working relationship

throughout the game
since day one.

I would have stayed true
to my word with you,

and I think that there's
a much bigger duo target.

You're going to remember
this moment and regret it.

All right, who is
the third and final person

you're putting
into the Endgame?

This one is the hardest for me.

Um...

- Wow.
- Whoa!


All right, who is
the third and final person

you're putting
into the Endgame?

Um, I'd probably be
in this Endgame

if it wasn't for this person.

- Damn.
- Whoa.

- She hasn't been to
an Endgame yet.
- Wow.

- Whoa!
- Wow.

- I'm sorry, Chelsea.
- Wow. Crazy.

He doesn't choose me, bro.

He chooses Chelsea,
which is honestly insane.

She was just his partner
in the last challenge,


and she did great
and let him win.


Ballsy move for him, honestly.

You realize only one person's
winning the money, right?

[laughing]
'Cause he's scared.

You're going to make your job
so much harder right now.

Yeah, kind of a d*uche move,
to be completely honest.

- Dirty, man.
- I'm sorry, Chelsea.

Like, damn, dude.

You just made the dumbest
mistake of your life,

and she never would have
did that to you.

Pretty douchey, dude.

Lance: I told y'all,
true colors will be shown.

Get out of here!
Nobody trusts you in the house.

- Wow! The gloves are off!
- Okay, I don't care who
doesn't trust me.

My game will speak
for itself in the truth.

All you worry about
is yourself. You're not
worrying about Jayleen.

You're just worried about
kissing her while you're here.

And I'm so excited
for everyone after this,
all said and done,

to see the individual
that you are.

You don't have
to cry about it, dude.
It's your first Endgame.

- Get it done.
- Who's crying? Who's crying?

'Cause you never
catch me crying.

All right, all right,
I think we should get going.

We randomly selected your order,
and, Danielle, you are first.

- Good luck, girl.
- All right.

Okay.

I am absolutely freaking out

at the thought of having bugs
crawling all over my face,


and I don't want to do it.

Okay, Danielle,
it will start on my air horn.

Okay.

There aren't even
any critters in here yet,


and I'm already
struggling to breathe,


and this is not a good sign.

Johnny:
Okay, here we go.

[Johnny laughs]

[horns blaring]

- It's begun!
- Let's go, Dani.

- Come on, Danielle.
- Yep, yep, yep.

- Get in there.
- Whoa.

[panting]

- Okay, that's disgusting.
- Good job, Danielle.

- There we go. Well done.
- Come on, Dani.

- Way to go, Danielle.
- Dig deep.

- Breathe.
- That's second time.

- Oh, that's hard.
- There you go.

- Good grab.
- Oh, Lord.

Eat your way out of it,
Danielle.

- [sputtering]
- Oh, my God. I could not.

Johnny: Danielle, you got
a lot of the worms, but none
of the heavier snakes.

- Grab those snakes.
Okay, there's three.
- Come on, Danielle.

- You got it, girl.
- Oh, she's got a snake.

That will add a few more pounds.
Three spins left, Danielle.

- [sputtering]
- Oh, my God.

- It does not look like
you can breathe, bro.
- Staying so calm.

- I'm on snake duty.
- [hissing]

[panting]

Oh, she got a snake in there
giving her a little kiss.

- Oof.
- You can't even see her face.

- [whimpering]
- There's six.

- One more, Danielle! Grab big!
- Come on, Danielle!

Grab big!
Oh, I can see that snakey-poo.

- One more!
- Make it count!

- Come on, Danielle.
- Oh, she has another snake!

Those are gonna add up.

All right, you're done.
Congrats.

- Good job, Dani.
- Amazing job.

- Get me out, Johnny.
- Johnny: She is not psyched.

She sneezes and like
six more ounces comes out.

[laughter]

Any crabs nibble on you
or snakes?

I couldn't even tell
what I was grabbing.

I heard you say something
about a snake in there...

- All right.
- ...but the biggest snake
so far has been Rob.

- So that was, uh...
- [laughter]

- Ooh, zing!
- There's a bigger snake
in the house.

- Who?
- He's about to go.

- Oh!
- Oh, wow.

You throw them
in the elimination,
then you insult.

Your tactics don't get in
my head, babe, at all.

- All right, Lance, you ready?
- Let's go. Let's go.

Okay, here we go.

Because of my upbringing,

I am not a give up
type of person.


I was raised by
two wonderful women,

my mom and my grandmother,

and they made me the man
I am to this day.


Best believe, for them,
I'm gonna fight tooth and nail.


Nothing is coming in between me
and winning this.

All right.

[horns blaring]

He has two big ones.

- Johnny:
He is off with a handful.
- Ooh!

- That's big.
- He's got big hands.

Big hands.

- Keep it up, Lance.
- Good job, Lance!

[sputtering]

[panting]

[groaning]

[groaning]

Johnny:
Oh, that's got to be at least 10
pounds of worms in there.

Four spins left, Lance.
Oh, and he's got a...

Oh, you got a big snakey
in there.

- ...snake.
- Oh, my God.

That is going to
add some weight.

- [sputtering]
- Oh, boy, that's a big--

- He's getting some big crabs.
- Johnny: The big crabs.

If he isn't eliminated,

it's going to be a fun night
at the house, Rob.

[sputtering]

Thank you.

Thanks. I hate you,
but thank you.

You got it! You got it!
Last one!

- Johnny: Last one, Lance.
- One more, Lance.

One more!

- Oh, my gosh.
- That's a big grab.

- Wow.
- All right.

Way to go, Lance.

[groaning]

[groans]
Sick.

[no audible dialogue]

Johnny: All right, Lance.
Nice job.

Come on over.
How are you feeling?

I feel good about
my performance.

And, Rob, you know,
if I'm a snake,

let's mano a mano,
snakey-snakey.

- Let's go, baby.
- Let's go.

- All right,
it's your turn, Chelsea.
- Let's go, Chels.

Come on, Chels.

Stab me in the back, Rob.
I can't believe it.


I've stayed away from
the Endgames until now.

This is all my worst fears,
this confined space with bugs
and critters and snakes.


But I'm here to win
the money for my girls.


- I can't give up now.
- All right.

- Are you ready, Chelsea?
- Ready as I'm going to be.

- [horns blaring]
- All right.

- You got this, Chelsea.
- Come on, Chels! Grab 'em!

Grab 'em!
Grab 'em, Chels!

Grab 'em, Chels!
Grab 'em!

Good job. Good job. Good job.
Put 'em in there.

Get in there. Get in there.
Get in there.

Johnny: Okay , Chelsea,
that's your first spin.

Grab them snakes.
Find the snakes.

Oh, she had a snake,

and it slipped
through her fingers.

Big hands. Yeah.
Oh, yeah.

- Johnny: Okay, there's three.
- Scoop into a snake!

- Come on, Chels.
- Oh, she needs to get
to the heavy things.

Oh, she--
oh, she's just barely missing
that one little snake.

- She's throwing a lot.
- Ooh.

[whimpering]

You got it, Chels.
You got it, Chels.

You got to grab a snake, Chels!

She's got a chance to get one.

Oh, she misses it every time.

Oh, and she has it!

And that's six. Last one!

Yeah, dig deep. Real deep.

Keep going.

- That is it. That's time!
- Well done, Chelsea!

- You k*lled!
- Wow, it's going to be close.

Oh, no.

[whimpering]

Johnny:
All right, Chelsea, nice job.

- Whew.
- How are you?

Honestly, that's all of my
biggest fears wrapped into one,

so I almost had a freak out
up in there before we started.

- But we did it.
- Well, it's all going to
come down to weight,

who grabbed the most.

[sighs]
I definitely don't want to leave
this game at this point.

I've gotten so far.
So I am just hoping and praying
that I got enough weight

in the box with me
to keep going on

so I can get
a little bit of revenge
if I have a chance.

All right,
it is incredibly close.

The person
who collected the most

- with 18 and a half pounds...
- What?

- Lance, you are safe.
- Let's go!

You want me out
of this game, you might have
to do it yourself.

Oh, my God.
I am so screwed.

So it all comes down to you two.

One of you is staying.
One of you is eliminated.

- And it was close.
- Mm.

Less than half a pound
is the difference
between you both.

Oh, my goodness.

Okay. The person
who grabbed the least

and the person
who is eliminated is...

Danielle.

- [all groaning]
- Love you, Danielle.

- [sighing]
- [muted chatter]

Chelsea, you're safe.
You can join the others.

- Great job, diva.
- Thank you. Good job.

Danielle, unfortunately,
you lost the competition.

- Mm-hmm.
- But you did an amazing job
this whole time.

On the water that day,
I saw you completely conquer
your fear of drowning.

Mm-hmm.

You should be very proud.

- Great job. Great job.
- Thanks, Johnny.

- Mm-hmm.
- Come here, Danielle.

- Go. Say your goodbyes.
- Come on, give it to me.

When I came into this house,
I had a long list of fears.


But after this,
I feel like there is no...

I feel like there's no boundary
that I can't over--

that I can't overcome now.

The sky's the limit for me.

I'm definitely getting
my pilot's license.


I'm happy I got to meet you.

Having to go home now,
it hurts so much.

This was Rob's decision,

and hopefully it comes back
to bite him in the a*s.


[sighs]

And now there were six.
Congratulations, guys.

- You have survived.
- Let's go!

So head back to the Fear House

and get ready
for the semifinals.

- The semifinals!
- [cheering]

- We in the semifinals!
- Oh, yes!

I'll see you
at the next challenge.

- You'll be in for a shock.
- Oh!

- Oh, no!
- He loves shocks.

- [Johnny laughs]
- "In for a shock."

I'm done with Johnny.

Next time on "Fear Factor:
House Of Fear"...


Welcome to the semifinals.

I asked you
is there anyone else you
would keep safe besides me,

and you said no.
I don't like cheaters.
I don't like liars.

I can't trust him.
Not happy about it.

Guess what?
You get electrocuted.

- Oh!
- PTSD.

Two of you will go home.

My ability might not be
enough in this game.

This is the most vulnerable
I've ever been.

- H3! Aah!
- [zapping]

- [bleep]
- [groaning]

- Chels, what's wrong?
- Oh, [bleep].

- [screaming]
- [sirens wailing]
