01x03 - Snakes and Ladders

[bunniefuu]

(wind whistling)

MANU BENNETT: 16 everyday

Americans began this adventure.

Welcome to

Aotearoa, New Zealand.

BECKYLEE: This is the

most beautiful location

I have ever seen in my life.

MANU:

They started with an equal share

of $1 million on their backs

That's crazy.

and just one objective

- (grunts)

- to reach the summit

in 14 days.

Oh, God.

Honey, that is

a big (bleep) mountain. (laughs)

(groans)

MANU:

The mountain has already pushed

some to their limits

DUSTIN:

Hey, guys. Tony's out.

AMY:

Bye, Tony.

MANU:

and sent its keeper

to hold watch.

This mountain has eyes.

- Whoa.

- GEOFF: The mountain's keeper

is gonna determine

if we're worthy.

- AMY: Deep breath!

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

MANU: When someone

slowed the group down

GEOFF: "When the

last person is crossing,

you use this axe

to cut the support rope."

MANU: they were

forced to cut them loose

PUNKIN:

We love you, Bo!

their money

lost from the prize pot.

GEOFF:

Sorry, Bo.

- We didn't have a choice.

- (crying)

Everybody's not

gonna make this journey.

MANU: Once they made

it to checkpoint camp,

the battle really began.

Tonight you're going

to steal someone's money.

Lines were drawn.

Currently, at this pace,

you're still not going

to reach the summit.

If you don't get

to the top in time,

you're going to have carried

all of your cash for nothing.

Sides were taken.

DENNIS:

Geoff is by far the scariest

physical threat

on this mountain.

It would be smart

to get him out.

I want Shweta out. Tonight.

She would betray me

if given the chance.

Put your hand up

if you'd like to vote Geoff

off the mountain.

Okay. Put your hand up

if you'd like to vote

Shweta off the mountain.

MANU: With another

member's cash stolen,

the remaining backpacks

just got heavier.

BECKYLEE:

We get to kick somebody off,

I get closer to the end,

and we get to keep their money?

That's a win-win for me.

MANU:

Tonight

- AMY: Look at that over there.

- DUSTY: Yeah.

AMY:

Isn't that gorgeous?

I just wish I had my phone.

I want to be able to

show my family.

MANU:

12 remain,

carrying over $870,000.

But this mountain will

continue to be relentless

How am I supposed to do this?

as the group faces

adversity at every turn.

Please, God.

- JENNYE: No!

- (others groaning)

Come on.

If you want food tonight,

raise your hand.

(indistinct chatter)

(sighs)

Hey.

(pats back)

It wasn't one of us.

She, she was just playing

too strong.

Yeah, you could tell.

She's on the hunt.

THERRON:

I actually really liked Shweta.

I thought we were getting along

perfectly, and I truly thought

she was gonna make it

farther in this game.

You got to, like,

make the connections.

She didn't.

DENNIS:

Oh, Shweta, Shweta, Shweta.

Ooh. Mean things

come in tiny packages,

let me tell you.

And if there was

someone out here

(fly buzzes)

I just ate a fly.

(spitting)

(laughing):

Oh, my God. That is gross.

Ew!

This is the time for the game

to start getting played,

and I think we have

to figure out

who are the people

we want to trust.

GEOFF:

Yeah.

And feelings are

going to get hurt,

and there's going

to be awkwardness

- in tents, at camping.

- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

But it's what it is.

I definitely didn't

want to see Shweta go.

Uh, that wasn't the plan.

(sighs)

You know, Shweta was

a vote in my direction.

Listen, I see

a lot going on right now,

and there's

some alliances being made.

Uh

a lot of my game right now

is going to rely on:

I-I got to make some plays.

(laughs) That was fun.

Shweta's departure is

the first time I feel

super confident

in this game, because

Shweta was not on anyone's mind

until I said it,

until I got the group together

or got my numbers together

to get her out.

What you on, El Jefe?

Oh, I'm trying

to get in my tent,

but they're having

a private conversation.

DENNIS: Why don't we

have a private conversation?

GEOFF:

Yo, let's do it.

There's one person

that I do not trust,

and that's Dennis.

DENNIS: I'm your second

in command, you're the boss.

(laughs)

GEOFF:

I thought Dennis was my guy,

but this man

is playing his part,

with regards to me,

"Geoff, buddy, buddy. I got you.

We could work together. Cool."

He's been doing that

with so many other people,

and then, with me,

he's been turning around

and telling other people,

"What if we got Geoff out?

He's a big threat."

Late last night

- Mm-hmm?

- Dennis was like,

"We should try to

try to get out the big guys."

He threw out your name.

This man is doing way too much,

he's spiraling out of control,

and it's gonna

blow up in his face

very soon.

I'm-I'm very sure of that.

We're not as athletic as you,

but I would never vote you out,

is what I'm saying. I would

never be that person to be like,

"Let's get Geoff out

'cause he's a physical threat."

AMY: Okay, I'm

old. Going to bed.

Good night, guys.

Good night, everyone.

Good night.

♪

Look, Ma, I'm camping.

You slept all right?

AMY: I did okay, and I

don't want Geoff to feel bad,

but he got in a really

comfy, cozy position

- Snored his a*s off?

- I mean, it was so bad.

It's one thing to sleep next to

my husband who snores,

that I love him, but, ooh, wow.

Bro.

- Sis.

- We got to talk about it.

- No, we don't.

- AMY: You got to put

a mouth guard in or something.

- (imitates snoring)

- (Geoff laughs)

I was like, oh, my God.

He better be glad I love him.

(chuckles)

I was happy

you were getting good sleep.

Geoff and I are tightly aligned.

I got my social game,

but I need someone

to help me

with my physical game,

and Geoff definitely is

that helping hand.

I mean, it was so loud,

the whole tent rattled.

(laughter)

PUNKIN:

Y'all ready for day four?

- (group cheering)

- Whoo!

This stays between us

Mmm.

but I think

there is some worry about

the stronger guys, like,

banding together,

you know what I mean?

- I got it.

- So, just don't

totally associate yourself

- with that.

- Okay, okay.

I'm on that train.

No one would see this coming.

- Listen, let's keep it on down-low, but

- Yeah, okay.

7:00 a.m., out there,

I'm planting my seeds,

I'm watering them.

- (laughs)

- BECKYLEE: Listen,

I keep hearing all day,

"Oh, you're so sweet, Beckylee."

Like, "You're a sweetheart."

And it's the smile,

I'm telling you.

But if you told my family,

"Oh, you're so sweet,"

they'd be like, "Who?"

Like, I'm not. I'm not sweet.

GEOFF:

It'll be a good day.

- DUSTY: You guys ready?

- AMY: Yeah.

We're staying up high,

so, altitude, a lot of you guys

are gonna feel it.

Don't be surprised.

- AMY: All right, Dusty.

- All right.

- Dusty's up front. Let's go.

- JEANNIE: Yeah, Dusty.

- DUSTY: All right, let's do it.

- PUNKIN: Whoo.

DUSTY:

Big day today.

MANU:

The group is now setting out

on their toughest trek to date.

The terrain and elevation

put the next checkpoint camp

a two-day hike away,

so they'll have to pit-stop

for the night

at a bivvy camp,

which provides

basic necessities and food.

The next day,

they'll be traversing

many more rugged miles before

finally reaching the comfort

of their third checkpoint camp.

DUSTY: This one's gonna

be a little steep right here.

ROBERT: This is gonna be

kind of a wake-up call today.

My legs are on fire, dude.

This mountain is kicking my a*s.

(grunts)

Incline's k*lling us right now.

ROBERT: This is, uh, this

is kind of brutal, to be honest.

- Ooh!

- Oh, you good? You good?

- Yeah. Oh, my God.

- Got you.

This is much harder

than I thought.

I don't want to

hold you back. (grunts)

GEOFF:

We're walking up

this steep incline.

I'm talking, we got to use

our hands and our feet,

grabbing at everything,

grabbing at roots,

grabbing at plants,

grabbing on anything we can

just to get up this hill.

AMY:

Careful, careful. Lots of rocks.

- ROBERT: This rock is, like, crumbling.

- AMY: Jennye, careful.

Oh, it's making me slide

forward.

AMY:

Guys, the rocks aren't steady.

(grunting)

PUNKIN:

How you doing, Pati?

This is insane.

I am from Los Angeles,

and, like,

I'm not an outdoorsy person,

but I feel like I'm playing

a very good social game,

being able to connect

with people.

Physically, I'm just pushing.

So, pace and keep going.

(panting)

- PUNKIN: How you doing, Pati?

- I'm good.

I'm so good.

- Rob, are you there?

- I'm right here.

Okay. Three, two, one. (shouts)

I have never in my life

seen mountains like this.

(Amy panting)

I live in South Carolina.

I don't know if

you know a lot about that.

This is the terrain.

I don't know

what incline this is,

but I remember math,

so this is 90.

What is that, 50?

It's a 50% incline.

(grunting)

Really steep, guys.

Geez.

- That's insane.

- Oh, my God.

Yeah.

AMY:

One, two, three.

Our backpacks are already heavy.

I'm carrying more than

$72,000 cash.

(panting)

I just keep my face down,

I have my little walking stick.

Rob, is this the way?

ROBERT:

Uh, up? Yes.

MANU: As the group

struggles with this arduous trek

the mountain's keeper

has taken notice.

She's been observing

the group's pace

and is now prepared

to make a proposition.

You guys.

AMY:

Is that the mountain keeper?

PUNKIN:

It's the mountain keeper!

DUSTY: The mountain's

keeper showing up,

that's a warning

in some capacity.

Amy and Pati

have been slowing us down.

We are supposed to get up

to the summit in 14 days.

They're a little bit of

an anchor

that we're dragging up the hill.

Which we'll see

if it comes back to bite us.

PUNKIN: I don't know

what's about to happen,

but every time she's come,

it has not been nothing good.

- Is it a bag?

- DUSTIN: Yep.

(group exclaims)

- AMY: I see something yellow.

- DENNIS: There it goes.

- PATI: No way.

- No!

- AMY: Oh, my God.

PUNKIN:

She would not do that,

way down there.

No way.

THERRON:

She drops a bag

99,000 yards away

from us down this hill, okay?

And I'm like,

ain't no way I'm going

back down there for it.

AMY: We don't have to

go back down there, do we?

- PUNKIN: We have to go get it.

- BECKYLEE: I'll go get it.

I will not open the bag.

I'll bring it up here.

We'll do it together. But

I feel good, heart rate-wise.

- NICK: I feel good, too.

- ROBERT: I feel fine, too.

- NICK: You want to go?

- JENNYE: Rob,

Nick and Becky? That's cool.

- Yeah, go.

- AMY: Watch your footing.

It's not worth getting hurt.

That's a long way down.

Immediately, I knew that

anybody but Geoff

needs to get that bag

because he is my target.

So I kind of

stuck my neck out

and ran my little heart out

because I had a feeling

that he would have

gone after it.

GEOFF: I don't think

it's anything good.

I think it's something

that'll be bad for everybody

or something that'll be

an advantage for those three.

Let's go this way, guys.

I have had conversations

with Nick.

I've been feeling him out.

I think that him and

I would work well together.

The thing is, Rob, I haven't

had a chance to talk game with.

I'm pretty sure we're

gonna start seeing a divide

at these next few votes.

NICK: So, if it divides,

where are you?

ROBERT: There's nobody

who, right now, I don't trust,

and that's horrible of me.

That's me probably

not fully paying attention.

- BECKYLEE: Yeah.

- NICK: You say right now

that you're good with everybody,

so, like, that's worrying to me.

If you need me to

stop playing the middle

and (bleep) or get off the pot,

- and it's time, I'm ready.

- Well, let's talk about that.

Because that is a game,

and it's a move.

NICK: What we're

telling you right now is,

- we want you on the right side of the vote.

- Yep. Yes, I know.

Heavy?

- (cheering)

- That's amazing.

- All right.

- Let's bring it up. - All right.

- DENNIS: They're bringing it up.

- THERRON: Oh, they're bringing it up.

They're-they're being truthful

to their word.

You guys are awesome.

- (cheering)

- DENNIS: Let's get it.

PUNKIN:

Let's see what's in it.

Who is it?

NICK:

Get it, Beck.

BECKYLEE:

"At your current pace,

you will not make

the next camp before sunset."

"So, make an offer.

"Two struggling

members of your group

"can hitch a ride on

a helicopter to the next camp,

"practically ensuring

that the rest of the group

"will make it on time.

"But as you know,

"everything comes at a cost

"on this mountain.

"If you accept this deal,

tonight there will be no food."

DUSTY:

Oh, my God.

"Who is struggling?

Who could use a lift?

"What is best

for the group as a whole?

"Ask these questions,

and you'll find your answers.

"Ignite the enclosed flare

if you want to accept the deal.

- The mountain's keeper."

- Wow.

Pros versus cons

of doing this, guys.

- DUSTY: Yes.

- BECKYLEE: Yeah.

PUNKIN:

Who feels like they need a ride?

GEOFF:

Also, it's important to note,

it didn't say it's impossible

that we're gonna make it.

It said "at your current pace."

DUSTY:

Probably three hours coming up.

Do you think we can speed up

from what we've done so far?

I have something to say.

I mean, I-I it's the

elephant in the room. It's fine.

I'm holding,

and y'all are waiting for me,

and that's great,

and it's been wonderful,

and I love the camaraderie.

My fear is that

the two people she takes off

the mountain are gonna

be the two people

you have to decide

to vote off tonight.

- I, honestly, I don't think so.

- I don't get that.

For me, I know what this is,

and personally, I'm down to go

on the helicopter.

BECKYLEE:

I think it could be

an opportunity for you guys

- to rest.

- (overlapping agreements)

Rest, rejuvenate.

I genuinely do not think

you are in danger from this.

I am somebody that doesn't want

to target the slowest people,

so I would like for Pati and Amy

to rest and do better tomorrow

and not quit and

then lose all my money.

I just don't want people

to get there

when they're exhausted

and starving,

and then regret the decision

because there is

no food and you can't

do anything about it.

This is probably

our hardest day.

I would personally

like to have food.

GEOFF: Isn't it one of

the biggest amenities

of making the camp that food?

AMY:

Yeah, yeah.

GEOFF:

Oh, my goodness.

I'm losing muscle mass out here.

I'm hiking 10,000 miles,

racing against the clock

every single day,

not getting as many calories

as I need to get in,

and I'm dwindling.

♪

Let's all stay together

and let's make camp

and make sure that we get food.

We could absolutely make it.

Let's take a vote.

If you want food tonight

raise your hand.

PUNKIN:

This cliff stands between

you and the ridgeline.

- DUSTY: Oh, my God.

- AMY: Oh, my God!

You all have another chance

to steal somebody's money.

Who's it gonna be?

It's time to play

Snakes and Ladders.

- JEANNIE: That was so selfish.

- Oh.

(wind whistling)

♪

If you want food tonight,

raise your hand.

(whispers):

I don't know what to do.

GEOFF:

If you want no food tonight

and we send them,

raise your hand.

It's settled.

- JEANNIE: Do it, Rob.

- ROBERT: Enjoy your ride.

(helicopter approaching)

PATI: When I heard we were

gonna get a helicopter ride,

I was like, "Okay, cool, yeah,

let me get in, we'll be fine."

Nobody told me that we were

gonna be hooked on the side

with the door open,

hanging on for dear life.

It was terrifying.

BECKYLEE: All right, guys,

we got to get a move on.

Let's go.

THERRON:

And now we got a long trek.

DENNIS:

We got a long hike, guys.

MANU: Another strenuous

hike looms ahead for the group,

with an even higher elevation

and unforgiving terrain.

Time will tell

if the group's decision

to send Amy and Pati ahead

to the camp causes regret

once the muscle aches

and the hunger pangs set in.

PUNKIN:

My legs are on fire.

DENNIS:

God.

THERRON: Gosh, it's really

kicking in that we got to walk.

- I want the helicopter ride.

- DENNIS (laughs): Yeah.

AMY:

The no food was a big deal

because they're making that trek

and they're gonna be hungry.

We've seen the twists and turns

this game has taken us through,

and we saved Bo, and then Bo got

literally chopped off

the bridge the next day.

What does this mean

for me and Pati?

"Since you accepted

the mountain keeper's offer,

"you do not have food tonight.

"Hope the ride was worth it.

"Stay warm.

Remember,

every choice comes with a cost."

How you feeling?

They started making that trek

and we didn't have to.

And I don't know

if we're gonna see people

- switch tonight because they're

- Yeah.

- I mean, hanger is a thing.

- Yeah.

AMY: I did what I thought

was best for the team

because to get here tonight

to at least have fire

is better than

ending up somewhere else. So

You don't think

this choice we made,

you don't think this is gonna

come back to bite us in the a*s?

Yeah, I think there's gonna

be a lot of conversation.

Yeah, I think there's a lot

of conversation happening now.

BECKYLEE:

This is no freakin' joke.

JEANNIE:

Yeah, this is tough for me.

- DENNIS: Whoo!

- (exhales): We just got to keep going.

DENNIS:

Take a second you guys need.

(groans)

- Ooh. This is sketchy.

- ROBERT: We got some steep stuff,

so it's gonna be tricky here,

so take a second.

- JEANNIE: Holy

- ROBERT: I don't know how you guys are doing it.

NICK:

Man, this is high, dude.

Pati and Amy weren't

gonna make it.

BECKYLEE: Never.

This is the right decision.

AMY:

How long have we been here?

- PATI: Two hours.

- I'm gonna build a fire.

AMY: If we can make a fire

and make it comfortable for them

when they got here,

that's me doing what I could do

in this moment.

- PATI: Is that them?

- No way.

THERRON:

Whoa, mama.

Let's get our asses over there.

- JENNYE: Yeah, I see the path.

- PUNKIN: Yeah.

Ooh, there's lots of rocks here.

They're gonna be hungry

and famished

when they get here, so

it's gonna be easy

to blame me and Pati.

Dusty.

Therron.

Tell us about your climb.

PUNKIN: It kicked my

butt. That was a hard day.

DENNIS:

Oh, God.

AMY: We're happy to do

whatever we can help you do

to make your bivvy camp

experience nice tonight.

You guys carried us today,

and so we would

really like to help.

So please don't everybody say,

"No, we're good."

I'm starving right now.

It is, it is, it is

I'm exerting so much energy

just to keep in high spirits

right now,

because we ain't got no food

to eat tonight.

PUNKIN:

That was a hard day.

- That was a hard day.

- JENNYE: Real hard day.

BECKYLEE:

(sighs) I'm taking my boots off.

MANU: Day four on the

mountain is winding down.

Dusty's impressions, dude.

Have you not seen it?

Oh, it's so great.

- (laughter)

- (Australian accent): Nick,

do you think this

was the right choice?

(laughter)

MANU: With no food

tonight at the bivvy camp,

some are using the time

to learn more about

the fellow members

in their group.

When I was asked why I was here,

I said "My potential."

I read somewhere that people

go through several evolutions

of themselves

within their lifetimes.

I went through

the big lifestyle change

and then I became

an athlete at the age of 33.

And now I'm almost 40, honey.

- Yeah.

- And I've been doing, you know,

my Muay Thai,

I do pole dancing, archery,

all these things that I was

never capable of doing before.

♪

I started with

fitness kickboxing,

which led to martial arts, MMA.

I teach Muay Thai,

I have students,

and I am a combat sports judge

and referee.

- (bell dings)

- (audience cheers)

Just about any damn thing,

I will try it,

just to make sure

that I'm not missing out

on any aspect

that could be my potential.

When I am physically

and mentally depleted,

I honestly think of the same

thing every single time,

and it's my two cats

Dante and Delilah,

and they're my children.

I love you!

(laughs)

I love cats so much.

And all my students know it

instead of Muay Thai,

they call me Meow Thai.

Now, that could also be my job.

I am a crazy cat lady

as a profession.

Like, it should say that

under my

like, you should change it

from "combat"

- to, like, "crazy cat lady."

- (cat meows)

'Cause that is

I am a professional.

(laughs)

Now I'm at a plateau,

so what is the next level?

What other challenge

can I conquer

and come out the other side?

So, that is why I'm here.

JEANNIE:

We're happy to have you here.

That's good.

ROBERT:

I know it doesn't seem like it,

but doing stuff like this

is hard for me.

Putting myself out there,

being with people I don't know.

Like, I've been judged

my whole life,

- Wow.

- of people thinking I can't do things.

JEANNIE:

Yeah.

ROBERT:

My dad wanted a sports player,

and out came this guy

who's like me.

- (laughter)

- Uh (laughs)

I was a dork

I mean, I still am a dork

(laughs):

in junior high.

I was so different

from everyone else.

I wasn't this manly guy

I was into theater.

I just, I wasn't the norm,

and i-it was rough.

But it's what got me

into education.

I'm very passionate about, like,

making sure that kids

found who they were.

Now my life is amazing.

I'm an educator.

I've got kids, a wonderful wife.

There's not a dull day

in my life.

This is just my next adventure,

and I am so excited to be

a part of this journey.

If people don't accept me,

that's not my problem.

You know,

I am who I am, and that's okay.

JENNYE:

Yep. (chuckles)

DENNIS: So, I'm just

gonna let you guys know

I'm just really happy

to be here.

I hate being vulnerable. Um

That's just something

I need to work on, and

Everyone knows

that I'm a nurse, and

I've given up a lot

for other people's families

and their loved ones.

But I feel like I haven't

been there for my own family.

(crying)

People don't know this,

but I can cry on command.

The money

would mean a lot to me,

even to quit my job

and see a lot of my family

I haven't seen in Korea.

Smoke helps a little bit, too,

to start up the tears, so

I think people start

feeling bad for me,

but I feel great.

- (sniffles) - GEOFF: I like

that I'm getting to know Dennis

a little bit better

and to know another side of him,

and it seems very genuine.

(exhales)

I'm sorry, guys.

GEOFF:

But, uh

it's still tough.

Like, I want to trust him fully,

but there's a part of him

where it's just like

he may turn on you.

(sniffles)

I hate crying.

(laughs)

♪

JEANNIE:

Good morning.

- Good morning.

- PUNKIN: Good morning.

Everybody woke up

without having food.

(scattered groans)

I desperately want to make it

to the checkpoint today

after sleeping

on the ground last night,

because checkpoints mean food,

and each checkpoint,

somebody has to go home.

GEOFF:

Same. Same.

PUNKIN:

Me and Geoff bonded

from day one,

and we've just continued

to build that friendship.

I've heard Dennis

saying Geoff's name,

and Geoff's my number one,

so if anything,

that's putting a target

on Dennis's back,

and he's gonna be

up out of here.

- DUSTY: You guys ready?

- NICK: Let's do it.

- DUSTY: Let's do it. Let's go.

- Whoo!

DUSTY:

Good job, crew.

NICK: Damn, it's

definitely getting colder.

GEOFF:

Rocks are moving up here.

AMY:

Very slippery, guys.

Hey, guys,

you got to straddle the prickly.

Just step on 'em.

It's day five. We didn't have

any food yesterday.

It's taken all we have

to do this.

(grunts)

Me and Pati,

there's definitely some worry

starting to set in

that if we don't step up soon

in front of the group,

there's no way

that they're not gonna vote

one of us to go home tonight.

JEANNIE:

This mountain's kicking my a*s.

PATI: Yeah, but I'm

fighting back, Jeannie.

JEANNIE:

I know you are.

DENNIS:

I'm so hungry.

The most annoying part

is that Pati and Amy

are responsible for us

not having any food,

and I need the calories

right now, I need the energy.

- DUSTY: Ames, good?

- AMY: Yeah, I'm good, babe.

- Thanks.

- DUSTY: Oh!

AMY:

What? What? What?

PUNKIN:

Oof.

We have to go up that?

JEANNIE:

Oh, my God.

That is the longest ladder

I ever seen in my entire life.

NICK:

Geez, that is high.

THERRON:

Holy (bleep).

Oh, God.

JEANNIE:

I hate ladders,

and this was the biggest ladder

I've ever seen.

I'm so scared. I'm so scared.

THERRON:

How am I supposed to do this?

Guys, I can't.

Oh, God, I'm dr

(panting)

- DENNIS: Oh, my God.

- JEANNIE: Oh, my God!

PUNKIN:

"Look up.

This cliff stands between you

and the ridgeline."

- Oh, my God.

- "Choose carefully the first to ascend,

"because they must carry

equipment to the top

in order to pull your packs

up the cliff."

That's gonna be hard.

You have to carry the equipment

to hoist our bags up.

- Yeah, this is gonna be tough.

- I know.

- Yep.

- PUNKIN: I hope the mountain's keeper

- stays away on this one.

- NICK: I am

absolutely terrified of heights.

I realize there is no way

I'm going to go first,

with pulley equipment

to pull our bags up behind us.

ROBERT: All right,

who wants to take lead,

- hop up?

- JEANNIE: Not it.

- Nick, you look great.

- NICK: No, I'm all right.

Y'all go ahead and lead it.

ROBERT: It's a

pulley. I'll hold it for you.

AMY:

I would volunteer

- to carry something up.

- You can throw

something on me, yeah.

AMY: You guys took

a big one yesterday,

not eating,

so that Pati and I can rest,

and I would like

to-to pull my weight today.

- Literally.

- GEOFF: I like that.

I like that. I like that.

AMY:

I need to be the hero today

because my team

was the hero for me yesterday.

There's been a lot of group chat

around camp

that a lot of strong guys

are getting to do

the "hard stuff" first,

and I think it's time

that the ladies step up

and show we can do

hard things, too.

THERRON:

So, we good?

Oh, this is heavy.

AMY:

This is hard.

The minute you get on it,

it's just, like, worse

than any jungle gym ladder

you ever had as a kid.

You don't want to look up

to see how far

you have left to go,

you don't want to look down.

- Take a rest when you need it.

GEOFF:

Get your breath.

There's no rest, guys.

It's burning every second.

I'll prove my worth. (bleep)

My dad never quit.

Single dad, raising two kids.

To this day,

I have to never let him down,

'cause he never let me down.

His can-do attitude

and "Don't quit,

always finish what you start,"

and I got that

at a very early age.

(grunting)

I lost my dad

on the morning

of our wedding.

Everybody's putting tents up

and getting flowers ready,

and I had to go I.D.

my dad's body.

I mean, who does that

on their wedding day?

And I remember pulling out

of the driveway,

and my mom is there

with people setting up,

and I just stuck my head out

the window, and I said,

"Just keep doing

what you're doing.

We're still gonna get married."

That moment, that day,

I knew that I was setting

a precedent for my girls.

When things are so hard,

I taught my kids,

you don't quit, no matter what.

I believe in myself.

I'm not gonna fail.

I'm not gonna quit,

and I haven't quit so far,

ever in my life, and I'm damn

sure not gonna quit today.

NICK:

There we go.

BECKYLEE:

The men should not be

counting the women out

quite yet.

In my head, I am an alpha dog.

I feel like, to other people,

if they look at me,

they probably see me

as more of an underdog,

which is totally fine by me.

I am a construction

project manager.

I'm really damn good at my job.

It's insane to work

in this industry

'cause it is so rare

to see a woman on a jobsite.

I feel like, when I do get

my boots on the ground,

the first time I walk out

to a new project,

the first question that pops

into every man's brain is,

"Oh, how is she qualified?"

Or, uh, "Who let the intern

to this jobsite?"

But you get used to that, right?

Like, I think my skin is,

like, thickened and calloused

from the words

that have been said to me.

I feel like any woman

in construction has

to work harder

than a man in construction.

It's frustrating sometimes

because at the end of the day,

all you want is respect.

I know that there's

no way in hell I'll quit

unless my limbs are

falling off my body

and you guys forced me

out of this game.

Showing off for the boys.

PATI: There you go.

You made perfect time.

THERRON: Yeah, you're

making up time. Thank you.

Good job, Becky.

Becks, you were skipping rungs.

Superhero stuff.

Women are really

proving their strength.

The men are getting

a wake-up call.

DUSTY:

We got to pick up our pace.

GEOFF: Yeah, we

got to pick up our pace.

Beckylee is emerging as

a huge threat in this game.

to be on my side

starting to notice that.

thing I want to do is quit,

but, at the same time,

we have to be realistic.

who is terrified of heights.

Oh, my God.

And you're doing it.

JEANNIE:

There we go.

DENNIS:

Get it, Rob.

I'm climbing up a ladder.

It's surreal, and it

to think about and a lot

to find your footing on.

ROBERT: Because this isn't

just a hike where we're all trying

to get to the summit,

it's a game

where we're trying to beat

each other to win money.

Geoff, I-I really don't care

if you go ahead of me

or if I go last.

It's not a big deal to me.

- Oh. Okay.

- It's up, it's up to you, brother.

GEOFF:

Nobody likes to go last.

When you're last, you never know

when the mountain's keeper

is coming

and if you're gonna be the one

left behind, you know?

So there's a lot of uncertainty

when you are

near the end of the group.

Nick, you gonna

eat this up, dawg.

I swear.

NICK: I think Dennis is

somebody I can strategize with.

So I volunteer to go last.

As long as we both get up this,

we got plenty of numbers,

- we're fine.

- Yeah. Yeah.

- And then

- We just got to get to camp.

- Yeah, let's just

- Get to camp.

- Things change.

- Yep, exactly.

GEOFF:

Yes, sir-ski.

DENNIS: He'll-he'll

divide the group, for sure.

Like, tonight will be a huge

Like, from this point on,

that means for the next

four checkpoints, we're safe,

- because it's just picking them off.

- The numbers. Yep, exactly.

- Picking them off.

NICK:

The numbers right now,

I think we have a strong group,

it's right now, it's me,

Dennis,

Becky, Therron, Rob

I think I'm gonna pull him in.

I think we can pull Pati.

Six, and then maybe even Jennye,

that's seven,

and all we need is seven votes,

and we kind of control

the lay of the land right now.

You got it. Wow, Geoff,

you're already up, dude.

The problem is, too, is that

NICK: I think Geoff's

days are limited right now.

BECKYLEE:

Good job, Geoff!

NICK:

I don't trust Dennis,

but right now

I want to keep him in the game.

NICK: Everyone's

kind of targeting him.

The more I can keep him in,

the more he'll be targeted.

DENNIS:

Whoo!

GEOFF: I know Dennis

is talking about me.

I know my name has come out

of his mouth multiple times.

GEOFF: And so, coming

into this checkpoint,

my game plan

is to get Dennis out.

I've got multiple people

on my side who I had talked to.

Got Amy, Punkin,

I've got Rob, Dusty,

and so we're all

targeting Dennis.

So I'm feeling good,

I'm feeling comfortable

about this voting situation.

- How you feeling?

Yo, I-I felt

those two shoulder surgeries!

Oh, my God.

NICK: This is probably gonna

be the hardest challenge yet.

I'm definitely terrified

of heights, and this is no joke.

it's windy out here,

about everything I have.

THERRON:

We can smell it.

AMY: What kind of

food are we gonna have?

- PUNKIN: Who cares? (laughs)

- DUSTY: Delicious food.

PUNKIN:

As long as we have food.

JEANNIE:

Oh, my God, is that it?

- THERRON: Food.

- JEANNIE: Aah!

Oh, we're here. We get food.

Where's the food?

PUNKIN:

We didn't have food last night,

so coming to this checkpoint is

an amazing feeling.

We're so happy.

It's like a home away from home.

Oh, we got pasta!

Pasta!

Oh, my God.

- Cheers.

- AMY: Oh, bruschetta. You got to eat that.

- DUSTY: Oh, my God.

- Mmm!

So good.

Breaking bread.

Breaking bread.

That's so good.

GEOFF: We all get a chance

to literally break bread

and celebrate.

You know, we can toast

our drinks,

we can toast our food.

Salud!

All day we're racing the clock,

and for a split second

we forget about that.

You look like a pack

of rabid dogs.

- Oh, my God.

- Ah!

GEOFF: But you realize,

when you do get to a checkpoint,

somebody's got to go home.

I heard you went

without food last night.

NICK:

Yeah. It was tough.

It was tough.

- Geoff, you made a sacrifice.

- Yes.

Everybody here knows

how much I love food.

If you voted them

to get in the helicopter,

put your hand up.

And put your hand up

if you didn't vote for them.

That's telling.

How did you feel about

being selected as

one of the slowest?

I nominated myself.

You don't think that puts

a target on your back?

I hope not, so

So today it seems like

a game of Snakes and Ladders.

You've been up the ladder.

How was that?

Redeeming.

I went first,

and carried the equipment

to get our packs up the ladder.

To me, it was redeeming today.

You gave it your all today,

you pushed today.

Do you notice any divisions

in the group?

That's gonna happen

in a game like this.

- But yes.

- What divisions?

I think that the game

has really taken a turn.

I think this vote tonight

is gonna be very telling

in terms of where people stand.

This vote will shake things up.

You're right, because somebody's

going off this mountain tonight.

You all have another chance

to steal somebody's money

by voting them off.

Who's it gonna be?

DENNIS: I've been

scheming to get Geoff out

for a few days,

and I think tonight

will be the night

where a Korean Santa Claus

gives me my gift.

Because I have this feeling

that, h* h* h*,

Geoff, goodbye.

MANU: It's time to play

Snakes and Ladders.

Good luck.

I'll be back.

(wind whistling)

(wind whistling)

MANU: It's time to play

Snakes and Ladders.

Good luck.

I'll be back.

PUNKIN: Everybody is

scrambling, trying to figure out

who the name is gonna be.

Are we safe?

PUNKIN: I need to make

sure my number one is safe.

You have to try to

pull someone to the side

and start talking

without everybody else

looking at you, so it's just

really hard to navigate.

PUNKIN:

Pati and Amy,

ultimately, they are

slowing us down.

For them to get that ride,

we all sacrificed food

and fuel that we need

to continue to push

to do these challenges.

BECKYLEE:

We do have a timeline.

Definitely something

to think about.

I am not trying

to play a game

where I'm kicking out

the seemingly weaker players.

Like, that's not the kind

of game I want to play.

So I'm turning my sights

to the macho men.

There were conversations

happening yesterday

when we went back to camp

by ourself.

(sighs heavily)

Yesterday I kind of got

a sense or a feeling

the group quickly honed in

on Pati and I

for taking the helicopter ride.

So, yeah,

my-my wheels are turning.

I'm not real close with Dennis,

but I realize

he's a good source

of information.

Don't worry, no one's come here

to talk to you.

You going in the helicopter

meant nothing,

and you did not show

your weakness at all.

It's okay. And you know

I have to nominate Geoff

No, you know I can't do it.

I'm sorry.

It's okay. You know

I'll still love you, girl.

I love you, too.

Dennis said Geoff's name.

I was really surprised,

but I feel a little bit

safe and secure.

So now I realize Geoff's got

a real threat of being

voted off this mountain.

I'm gonna do damage control.

ROBERT:

Dennis and Geoff.

AMY:

I'm not voting for Geoff.

I think it's too soon.

- I agree.

- I think it's too soon.

- Geoff.

- Yeah.

- B.

- Yeah? Yeah. Geoff.

ROBERT: I've been having

conversations, and it seems like

right now there's two names

floating out.

Dennis is because they're like,

he's saying go after

the strong guys.

And then there's Geoff

because he's a strong guy.

So, again, it's that, like,

well, which camp

am I going to align with?

But I-I don't know for sure.

You are right.

When you talk to Manu,

it's gonna shake things up

tonight.

- Mm-hmm.

- Yeah, for sure.

AMY:

I'm not voting for Geoff.

Geoff's all I got. You know,

he's definitely someone

who's said to me,

"I'm working with you."

He's working with me.

We're good.

We need to go start

campaigning now.

My name is now being the name

that's thrown around.

NICK: We got to break 'em

up. We get one shot at this.

- Full set, no back down.

- Yep, I love it, love it.

I'm not saying your name.

I don't care.

GEOFF:

I know solid,

solid people that I have.

Amy for sure.

And most likely Robert.

Punkin for sure. She said

she would never say my name.

I'm trying to use

these relationships,

these bonds that I've built.

- Then make up your mind.

- I have made up my mind.

AMY:

But what they don't know,

it's gonna take

someone like Geoff

to help most of us

get up that mountain.

He has helped us.

He is strong.

It's too soon to be voting off

stronger players.

Dennis, funny, the other name

being thrown around tonight,

was gonna basically

run his way to the summit

and leave all of us in the dust.

AMY:

Okay.

So let's get Dennis out.

We got to get Jeannie

on board with that.

(indistinct chatter)

JENNYE:

Mm-hmm.

JEANNIE:

Yeah, I know.

I still have some talking to do,

but it's, like

It's too early to vote him off.

It's too early.

It's a mistake.

There's got to be somebody else.

AMY: No one sees

what Dennis is doing.

Why are we gonna keep him around

if he's already creating havoc?

And Dennis is just sitting back,

watching it unfold.

(shudders)

MANU: Okay, guys, it's

time to make the vote.

Take a seat.

Oh, God.

(wind whistling)

(wind whistling)

(indistinct chatter)

Take a seat.

Charles Darwin states,

the fittest survive.

But also the most cunning.

But tell me,

what is this vote about?

Is it about fitness?

Is it about character?

Is it about friendship?

PATI: I think every day

is going to be different,

and even if you're the top dog,

things are changing.

GEOFF:

I can say one thing.

Dennis's name was

floating around a lot

the past couple days.

And I thought that you were

somebody that I could work with

until I heard that my name had

come out of your mouth

multiple times.

"Let's get some

of the threats out."

MANU:

Dennis

what do you got to say

about that?

I can truthfully say that

I wasn't going for Geoff.

GEOFF: So, you can say

you weren't gonna go for me,

but did or did you not say

that we should go

for the big threats,

and that my name was one

that came out your mouth?

I can truthfully say that

I was never gonna go for you,

and no, I did not.

MANU: Are there any other

names that have come up?

I was hearing Dennis.

I've gotten close to Dennis.

He's a very honest,

genuine person.

It's a divide here.

I'm with one group

and they're with one group.

And we're trying

to get the numbers up

with the group that I'm in.

I've talked to everybody.

I haven't talked

to Punkin so much, I haven't

talked to Geoff so much.

People that I don't know.

And I don't know

if they have my back.

That's who I'm just voting for.

We all want to make it

to the summit,

and I wish we could all

make it to the summit together.

But it's hard.

So you have to start

thinking about,

how do I make sure I stay

on the right side of numbers?

I think everybody knows

what the divide is,

so vote what you actually feel,

because voting one way

isn't gonna change anything.

Everybody knows where

everybody stands.

I think you should vote

what you feel. Right?

In your heart.

And not just voting out of fear

- just to be with the numbers.

- AMY: That's what I said to Jeannie.

Don't vote with the numbers.

I said, "Tell me why

if you're voting Geoff."

Vote for who you want.

Listen, a perfect example.

When the helicopter came

and said, you know,

"Do you want food

or you don't want food?"

Okay, who raised their hand

that they wanted you

to go on the hike? Right?

Punkin and Geoff.

And that gave me

a bad taste in my mouth.

That was so selfish.

Oh.

MANU: Does anybody

want to say anything

before we go to the vote?

So let's vote

for Geoff and Dennis.

If it's Dennis's time

to leave the mountain,

put your hand up.

That's three votes

for you, Dennis.

Okay, if you want to

vote Geoff off the mountain

put your hand up.

One, two, three,

four, five, six, seven

Eight votes.

Geoff, your time

on this mountain

has come to an end.

Collect your gear,

bring out your money.

Share it between those

that are left here.

GEOFF: The mountain has taught

me that whenever you feel comfortable,

that's when you are least safe.

Why is it necessary to get

physical threats out,

especially so early in the game?

You getting rid of me

doesn't make it any easier

for you to get up the mountain.

If anything, it makes it

more difficult.

They're voting out of fear.

Hindsight is always 20/20,

but it's good.

I'm learning from

these mistakes, you know,

and those mistakes

turn into lessons.

Well, you're gonna

split this between you.

You now have $870,000

to carry to the summit.

This is a life-changing

amount of money.

DENNIS:

I love that we got Geoff out.

I'm out here to be a savage.

I'm as evil as it can get,

and I do not care

about hurting feelings out here.

MANU:

Who could use $870,000?

PUNKIN:

We all could. Come on.

BECKYLEE:

I am on a high. My plan

went into action perfectly

for the second night.

'Cause I led the Shweta vote,

I led the Geoff vote.

And I feel like right now

I actually have

no blood on my hands,

which is shocking.

Bam, I'm kicking you down.

You know, I've been

putting the seeds out,

I've been whipping the votes.

Geoff is off us now,

and no chance

he's getting to the summit.

Here you go, hon.

I think I'll lay low

for maybe one night, let someone

else control a vote.

And then we'll jump

right back into it.

Captioned by Media Access

Holy crap,

you can't see a thing.

If we end up going the wrong

way, we might be backtracking.

We're stuck.

We're stuck at this camp.

JENNYE: I really don't

trust Rob right now.

Having someone

you know you can't trust,

- that is crippling.

- (cries out)

If you go with the leaders,

you're gonna see people's

true colors tonight.

I'm gonna piss

a lot of people off

- if I do that.

- (shouting)

PUNKIN: It's a cliff so

difficult, you should partner up.

(pained cries)

MANU:

This is gonna challenge you

more than you've ever been

challenged in your lives.

NICK:

What has happened?

(crying out)

JENNYE: I am not

moving from this position.

(loud shriek)
