01x16 - Episode 16

Post by bunniefuu »

This programme contains
strong language.

16 strangers from all walks of life

are living in this iconic
London tower.

Some seized power... Welcome home.

...and are the Rulers at the top.

The rest were sent to the
basement... Lift falling.

..living a life of hard labour
as Grafters.

Just f*cking stung by one!

And they're all battling
to win up to £100,000.

Previously, alliances were at
breaking point.

You need to give me
a promise that me, you

and Sophie will form
a strong relationship.

If we three stay together, then

I'm pretty sure that we can at least
make it to the final.

I'm just making sure that everybody
thinks that I'm on their team.

Sophie said that you and Connor
grabbed her

to her room to join you
in alliance.

I'm not voting for any of you.
Yeah, I'm not going to do it.

And the Red Room was ruthless.

I don't believe in alliances.

I don't believe in friendships.
I don't care.

I'm just confused with who's playing
a game. The trust has just gone.

Tonight, ferocious feedback.

Let's not get too personal. No.

Sorry. It wouldn't hurt to tell
someone to f*ck off now and again.

And it's the last ever rise vote.

It is time to vote. Does everybody
want to go up tonight, yeah?

Yeah. Absolutely.

I'm really torn.

HE SIGHS

Rulers, which two Grafters will
rise?

It is a really difficult decision.

All three equally deserve
to be in the penthouse.

The pressure is kicking in.

The gap between the top
and bottom has never been closer.

This is Rise And Fall.

Darkness has fallen on London,
and in the Red Room,

the axe is about
to fall on one Ruler.

Sophie and Rossi have two
votes each.

I hope Sophie's eliminated.

I think Sophie will scramble
out of it.

With only Moses left to vote,
which way will it fall?

Moses...

..voted for...

..Sophie.

Yes!

First of all, it was really hard
deciding that

because of all the things you've
done for me down in the basement.

The fight that I had
for you was not truly appreciated.

You know, it cost £14,000, you know,

speaking to Sydney behind my back.

I wasn't happy the fact that you
brought that up.

Sophie has lost her power.

The game obviously hasn't been
played in the right way.

It is what it is. I came here,
done my thing.

I've no regrets
and I couldn't have done any more,

so I'm not leaving here sad.

Sophie must leave immediately.

One more thing. Thanks.

I think they voted for me
because they're intimidated by me.

I knew I'd have a target on my back
the second I walked into that

Red Room because I knew I was
incredibly strong.

And I'm a born Ruler.

Strong women will never win

because people are scared of us.
We scare people.

Sophie, obviously, going helps us
all to get into the final because

it's one less least trustworthy
person in here

to make it a genuine final.

While the Grafters process
the elimination,

the Rulers are doing the same,

albeit in a more nicely
decorated room.

Oh, God. Jesus Christ.

Isn't it awful, though?

Yeah, poor Soph. Let's address
why I voted for you.

Yeah, Jesus. You know...

..I'm, like, your biggest fan,
but with Sophie,

I just didn't have

the stone-hard kind of facts
and figures, whatever,

to vote for her. Yeah.
But I want to shake your hand

and, you know,
that is under the water. Yeah.

It's done. I voted for Rossi

because I believe that
the butt had to stop somewhere.

He's just as lovable as he always
has been,

but you can't allow that
to cloud your judgment.

But I want to draw a line under it.

Sophie was acting strange.

She was going about it in,

what I foresaw, as potentially
the wrong way.

I voted for Sophie

because I think trust is
the most important thing and,

yeah, my trust issues were
chequered tonight

with Sophie, unfortunately.
I'm just doubting the full thing.

There's not a guarantee
for all of us until we get

a forth from there.

Eddy is yes, three,
three and a half-ish.

THEY LAUGH

I've gained the trust from Rossi

and Sydney since we all voted
for the same person.

For Sophie to have gone behind
my back

and told Sydney about
the things that I said to her

and Connor, it told me about her
game play.

She just had to go.

What a day, guys but Sophie's out!

Goodnight, guys. Goodnight, mate.
Goodnight, all.

Look at that body. Jesus.

Goodnight, guys. I'll tell you what.
I was saying to Rossi,

I should have voted him out today.
He's so annoying.

THEY LAUGH

I think this game can really get
into people's heads.

You know, I felt that I had it
pretty easy tonight,

but I know things can change very
quickly in the penthouse.

It's early morning in London,
and in just three days' time,

one lucky penthouse Ruler will walk
away with

the entire prize fund.
Don't look too excited, guys.

You know, it's only tens of
thousands of pounds.

Ah, Sydders. Last night was tough.

It was 2-2. So I would have had to
make

the decision between you and her
anyways.

I don't know what's
going to happen today. f*ck knows.

I slept so badly last night.

You slept badly? Like, the
adrenaline from the Red Room.

Yeah. I feel quite buzzed up from
it.

Yeah. In the basement, it's funny,
like,

you just don't even think
about anything.

Just food and cold water.

Yeah. That's it. But here,
every day, it's a new pressure.

Today, two people are rising.
Who's it going to be,

who's it going to be? Yeah.

Who can I trust when they come
up?

Tomorrow, someone has to leave,
but the good thing for you is,

because you're such a genuine guy,
you have nothing to worry about.

I've tried to play this game
with integrity, as best as I can.

It would mean the world to win.

There's a lot at stake, but you've
just got

to remember what got you here in
the first place.

The Rulers are up
and strategizing already,

and in the basement,

the six remaining Grafters are about
to get busy,

because only those that make it to
the penthouse as Rulers

have a chance of winning
the prize money.

ALARM BLARES

Good morning, guys.

Good morning. Good morning, all.

Attention, please. Prize fund
currently stands at

£63,200.

Tonight is the final rise vote.

Each Grafter will vote
for who they would like

to see rise to become a Ruler.

The three Grafters with
the most votes... Three?

..will head to the penthouse to meet

the Rulers, who will choose
the two Grafters to rise.

New Rulers are not immune
from elimination.

Wow. Three. Three?
Three go up.

Thank you, three. This is amazing.

Just keep it open and honest. That's
what I'm going to do. Yeah.

Tonight is a big one

because it's the last chance
for you to make it to

the penthouse and win that money,
so I think there's going to be

a little bit of tension today,
mixed emotions,

maybe heightened emotions.
But for me,

you know, I thrive in chaos,
I thrive from pressure.

Eddy, who would you
want to see up? What two people?

Erm, Rachel and Isaak.

Obviously, we've only got a few more
days to go.

It's hard right now to sort of see
how I'm going to play it,

and I've got a lot of love for
so many people in here.

But at the same time, I need to
protect myself

and I need to remember,
it's a game.

While the Rulers train hard,

the Grafters continue to lobby hard

for why they should be
the last ones chosen to rise.

And where better to do
a business pitch

than back in bed?
"We're working from home, guys."

Does everybody
want to go up tonight, yeah?

Yeah. Absolutely, man.
I feel like for me,

obviously I haven't necessarily made
any mistakes.

I've proven that obviously
I can handle it

and I have got the strengths
to keep pushing,

because in the beginning, I was
a bit more reserved

and I feel like I wasn't
as vocal in the Red Room.

I definitely want to rise. I
think I deserve to rise.

If anything, I deserve a second
chance.

I think everyone has been given
a second chance

and I think I deserve
to kind of prove myself again.

I think for me, it's...
I don't want to sound arrogant here,

but I've been the longest Ruler
out of everybody,

and I think that must account for
something.

I wasn't sent down
because I was a poor Ruler.

I was sent down because of the game,

so, yeah, I'm just hoping that I do
get the opportunity

to return there, but I think,
whatever happens tonight,

let's not all be sneaky.
Yeah.

Don't get me wrong,
I'd love to win the money.

It would be incredible, it really
would, and it would mean a lot to my

family, but I've got where I am in
life for being me.

I've not cheated anybody,
I've not been disloyal,

I've not stood on people to get
to where I am.

And that, for me, is more meaningful
than changing my game plan

last minute to win 100 grand.

My wife's going to f*cking k*ll me
when she watches this.

But sorry, darling.
But I'm not, you know.

And she knows who I am,
she knows I wouldn't,

I wouldn't do that.

I just wouldn't.
That's not in my character.

I could have walked out of this,
but I wanted to do what was right,

and that was to work
with you guys, and do you know what?

Working with you guys
has been amazing,

but I want to push myself.

I want to go up there with
a fresh perspective.

Obviously, I've learnt from my
mistakes,

and I've grown as a person in
the last week,

and I just want to close the final,

knowing that I was given that chance
to do it again.

It's a very weird atmosphere.

I think today, we're all wanting
to go up

for different reasons.
You know, the final is so close.

Part of me just wants to go up,
just to prove that I can do it

and they didn't get
to see my full potential.

I mean, people were coming up just
to get rid of me.

I came in late.

I didn't have the relationships that
many of you had

with the Rulers,
but I've pushed myself

and I feel that I've done very well
in the work shifts

and I have it in me
to hold my own up there

and to really make good decisions
So I really do

want to have that opportunity
to show myself as a Ruler.

This is my only shot,
and if I was to go up there,

I believe Eddy will give me
that chance

and Moses will give me that chance,

because they've both said that they
want people in life

to have chances, and I feel like
that will work in my favour.

It would be nice to get to
the final destination in

the Red Room on that final day.
For me,

it's about putting all the work in,

and you know I don't have a game
plan,

I'm just free-speaking, easy-going.

I'd like to rise today
because I know,

and the Grafters know,

that I'm one of
the most genuine people out there.

I'm not going to create alliances.

I'm going to stay myself
and be my natural self.

You know, I came here as a Ruler.
I'm proud

I brought the first £6,000,
you know?

You know, what hurts me the most

is that I wasn't able
to contribute more as a Ruler

because that is actually
my strength. Yeah.

I think at this point,
everybody can graft,

but there's no point when

the people who are ruling are
bringing that prize fund down.

It has been a f*ck-up throughout
the whole thing.

People up there are benefiting
from our good work,

and we should be able
to get that power back.

Give us the power
to flip this around,

and get the true leaders sitting in
that Red Room.

Your speeches have really just made
today a lot f*cking harder.

THEY LAUGH

The final rise vote is looming,

and the pressure in
the basement is at melting point.

Which Grafter will take this
moment...? Isaak!

What the f*ck?!

I'm trying to do
a dramatic voice over here!

For God's sake. Up in the penthouse,

it's a slightly more sedate affair.

I lived six years
of my life in Nigeria.

Yeah. Born and raised there.
There was me and my mum,

my brother, my sister and my dad in
one little house.

I think it was, like, a one-bedroom.

My mum, she's a pharmacist. She got
here,

got me and my sister up here.
The way I am speaking now,

even like the accent,
I didn't have this accent.

I was really fresh,
if you guys know what that means.

Some things that were said
to me that I didn't even understand.

Like the way I dressed,

the way I had food. Like,
things like mayo, ketchup.

It's little things. Your mashed
potatoes, I couldn't eat.

Even sausages, I was just like,
"What are these things?"

So, like, it was so much that I had
to adapt to... Overwhelming.

Yeah. ..that my whole life,

I've had to learn to adapt
and learn about people.

Yeah. Because I've always been put
in situations where

I'm like, "OK, phew, this is a lot,
how do I handle myself?"

Winning this game wouldn't only just
change my life,

it would change
a lot of people's lives.

The plans that I've got for
the money are nothing selfish.

It would mean the absolute world
to me,

and I cannot wait for that dream
to come true.

While Moses is dreaming
of big things,

downstairs, the Grafters are setting
their sights a bit lower.

What's the first things everyone
wants to do when they go out?

Do my nails, because...

I'm going for a pint with Matt.
Yeah. Are you? Yeah.

To be fair, we're going to be, like,
swarmed by people, maybe.

No. Maybe not you, Ramona.

Attention, please.

Would all Rulers report to
the Red Room for

a test of your leadership skills?

Oh. What does that mean?

Would one Ruler read from
the tablet?

"Rulers, today you will give
the Grafters appraisals.

"This is your opportunity
to give honest

"and unfiltered feedback to
the Grafters.

"All appraisals will be anonymous.

"You can also give them
a self-improvement exercise."

I think it's quite interesting we
get to watch them read it.

Yeah, probably give us
a bit more insight of them.

Also their feelings towards us as
well. Yeah.

Like, we'll see their
honest reactions.

Obviously there are certain people
in there who need

a bit more criticism than others,
but mostly,

they all work their hearts out.

If we do then set them
a task to do,

are they going to take it personally
or are they

going to actually embrace it...
Yeah.

..and make an effort to improve?
Yeah.

Someone like Ramona,
we can do something like,

"Ramona, you are a strong
character that speaks your heart,"

or whatever.

"Judge the Grafters from who
you think deserves

"to go up today and who doesn't
deserve to go up." Oh.

And at the end of the day,

it gives us an insight
of how people react

to being told good things
and bad things.

We've set all the appraisals today
and, hopefully,

we get a bit of info about them
and a bit of juice.

That will help us in
the rise vote tonight.

Flip that round a bit, maybe
somebody else like Matt.

You know, Matt has always led by
compassion

and maybe he needs to do
a ruthless exercise

to actually show his ruthless side.

This task will give me an insight

of people's true colours before they
come up or they rise up later.

I have to plan to think about
the people

and the choices that I will make,

which may benefit me to
the very end of the game.

The telly's on! The telly's on!
Breathe in.

Here we go.

Hello, Grafters.

It's that time again
for some honest feedback.

However, this time,

it will be us Rulers giving
the Grafters some advice.

Your chances of joining us in

the penthouse are diminishing,
but we are here to help.

Today, we will be providing
Grafter appraisals

that will improve your chances of
rising tonight.

Interesting. Very interesting. The
tables are turned, innit?

I am nervous about getting
the Grafter's appraisal,

as I've ended on bad terms with
a couple of the Rulers

and I don't know what to expect.

Here we go.

Guys, remember, it is just feedback.
Yeah.

Just don't go crazy.
You don't need to. No.

At this point,
no-one needs to lose it.

They're nervous.

Ramona's first to get
her appraisal.

I chose to write one for Ramona
because she is a role model to me.

I just wanted to encourage her

to actually put herself forward
and come up.

"Appraisal for Ramona.

"You are strong and have
a lot of fire and passion in you.

"You say things how it is

"and what you see is what you get,

"which is a quality a Ruler needs
to have.

"To rise, you will need to focus
your energy on becoming

"a Ruler, as you have
the qualities others do not have

"to become one."

Sorry. OK. Take your time.

I hate that she's crying. It's nice
tears, though.

It sounded a little bit like my
husband talking to me.

Hence I was teary in there,
but, you know,

they're literally just complimenting
me throughout that card,

so it's nice to
have that acknowledgement.

"We would like you
to state who you think would make

"the best Ruler, from strongest
to weakest,

"and give your reasons."

Ramona, obviously, just says it how
it is. She wouldn't hold back.

So I think it's a very honest review

of who, basically, would
make a good ruler.

I do believe I have penetrated

the strongest direction throughout
this whole process,

so I would put myself on place one.
OK.

I love that from her. Strong.

Place two, I would put Matt.
Number three,

Isaak, I will put you.
Number four on the list,

Rachel. The next, you, Connor.
The sixth individual,

Sam, would be you.
You're a very lovely girl.

She is great, Ramona.

Take away this persona,
and she's actually to the heart...

Yeah, she is. ..a nice girl.
Yeah, she is.

Next to get their feedback
is Isaak.

"Your greatest strength is making
people laugh,

"giving your all in every work
shift.

"You have the ability to adapt

"and fit in to any environment
you are put in.

"To rise and become
a Ruler, you will need to try

"and turn off that front side from
time to time.

"Self-improvement exercise -

"stand up and speak about 'just Me'.
Show us that serious side."

That's it. Come on, Isaak.
You can do it.

Isaak has been a great friend
to me in the basement.

I do believe he would make
a great Ruler.

He just needs a little bit of help.

I'm a champion. I know I am.
My resume at badminton -

world number eight in the world.

I have that champion in me.

I believe that I can overcome
anything in the world.

I believe that I've got one of

the best fighting spirits in
this game.

I've come in here at a disadvantage,

obviously with my height,
but I've not let that show.

And that's why I stand here today
to be in

the last six here,

that I will remain here until that
final whistle.

Thank you.

Well done, Isaak. That was
beautiful.

That was so good. Yeah.

Basically, what they were saying,
there was no shame in promoting

myself, backing myself.
Sometimes I self-doubt myself,

sometimes I don't give enough credit
of myself.

I need to start changing
that mind-set.

Rachel's Ruler appraisal is next.

"Your greatest strength is
the ability to fall as

"a Ruler into a Grafter
and still keep a great energy.

"To rise to become a Ruler, you will

"need to literally keep up
the good vibes and forgive

"and forget any past altercations
with any current Grafters."

Sam's up next.

"Your greatest strength is your
energy and enthusiasm,

"always striving to achieve more."
Thank you.

"To rise, you will need to focus on
your strengths,

"because you have all
the qualities to be a Ruler."

Connor's next to hear
his appraisal.

"Your greatest strength is
you have risen,

"fallen and risen again.

"You could have simply quit
and gone home,

"but you have carried on fighting.

"You have too many self-doubts
and forget that this is all a game.

"To rise and become a Ruler,

"you will need to forgive yourself
for what happened in the penthouse."

I don't have a clue where
the Rulers are at the moment,

but after the comment of "forgive
and forget",

maybe they're drawing
a line under it.

Last for their appraisal, Matt.

Wait, hold on.
This could be an interesting one.

"So, Matt, your greatest
strength is

"building morale,
supporting everybody around you,

"being caring and compassionate.

"You have absolutely smashed
Grafter life.

"To rise and become a Ruler,

"you will need to be more assertive.

"We would like you to go
head-to-head

"with another Grafter

"and deliberate on who would make
the better Ruler.

"Don't forget to mention
each other's weaknesses."

This is a great exercise for Matt.
This is good for him.

I think I'm going to choose you,
Rachel.

Oh, my God!

SHE LAUGHS

Let's not get too personal. No.

It is what it is.

"Let's not get too personal."

No. Like, see who wants

to be here, fight,
who's passionate.

In the context of adjuration in
the penthouse,

I stayed a bit longer than you.
I was more consistent, yeah?

Your weaknesses, I think you're
fully aware of them already.

It takes you a while to warm up,

and it's fantastic
to see this Rachel now.

And I'm so proud
of how you've just excelled

and you've come out of your shell.
Yeah.

Do you know what annoys me about
that with Matt, though?

We've said, "To get to the Red Room,
you need to be more assertive."

That's the one task
that we've asked him to do.

He didn't do it. And he hasn't
bothered to do it.

There was no assertiveness.

No. I like Matt.
I just want that fire from him.

We wanted to see if Matt could be
a bit more ruthless,

and it just ended up just
complimenting each other.

You know, it wouldn't hurt to tell
someone to f*ck off now and again.

The final rise vote is nearly here.

Three Grafters will rise
for their last shot at

the penthouse, and three will remain
in the basement.

And if you think that's
game-changing,

have a look at what these lads are
up to.

Now they see you've got mutton
chops, it looks good.

It looks stupid.
No.

Why did you put one in my ear?

WATER SWISHES

What are you doing?
It creates more bubbles.

Oh, OK.

I actually think I'm open
to relationships, you know.

Yeah, so what are, what are the type
of things that you demand

from the guys you date?

Like, you have
to take me out quite a lot

and it has to be nice places
for me. Mm.

Erm, also spoil me.

I like, I like nice things.

Erm, because I like to, I'm,

my love language is obviously
receiving gifts.

OK. And for me,
because I'm such a giving person,

I would expect the same,
do you know what I mean?

So I will spoil my man and
I expect the same. Mm-hm.

SHE GIGGLES

Attention please.

Tonight is the final rise vote.

It is time to vote.

You cannot vote for yourself.

I'm going to vote for Isaak

and I want Isaak to have that
opportunity to spend even

that day or two up there
to show himself in that Red room.

It was a tough decision like, I'm
not going to lie to you but, yeah,

stuck to me heart
and went for Ramona.

I'm really torn.

Oh, f*cking hell,
I don't know what to do.

It was so close between
Isaak and Rachel.

Out of all of the votes
I've ever done,

whilst being here, this one was
the most difficult for me.

HE EXHALES HEAVILY

Isaak's been in my head
pretty much all day

and I think he deserves it.

I voted for Ramona.

I think she deserves that
second chance.

We've seen that more vulnerable
softer side to her,

which is just great.

I voted for Isaak because I believe
that as a Grafter, we deserve

an opportunity to be a Ruler.

He does have something to offer
and can represent

the community that he's come
here to represent.

I think the right person,
for me to vote is Matt.

I feel like he's
a great communicator,

he's proven himself and
out of everyone,

I think he's the strongest.

All votes are locked.

Votes in, let the speculation
commence.

Right, if you were to put
a bet on who was

to come up tonight,
who are you saying?

We need to think logically.

Ramona's going to come up.
I think she will.

I know Ramona wants
everybody to like her

and I know she wants
to get on everybody's side.

What, do you not think
she's genuine?

No. Do you not?
No.

See, no, I think she is.

No. Even if she comes up...

Yeah, yeah.
I don't intend picking her.

I'll argue the case on it,
I don't mind.

I think with her, she's too much of
a big character.

Everywhere she goes to,
she tries to take control.

You know, penthouse living,

I don't need someone to come
and tell me what to do.

I just couldn't stand her energy
in this place right now,

so she'd have to be a pass.

I feel like anyone now,
even if it's Matt,

I trust him more than
I trust Ramona.

Downstairs, Sam is channelling
that one community dance class

she took to rally the troops.

Can people do this?

Yeah. Yeah. OK. That's a basic level
one dance move, ah.

Let's see your dance move.

THEY CHEER

That was a proper clap for that,
that was sick.

Attention please.

The results of the rise vote are...

Rachel, Connor, Sam

received zero votes.

Matt received one vote.

Ramona received two votes.

Thank you, guys.

Isaak received three votes.

Cheers, guys.

Isaak, Ramona and Matt,

you received the most votes.

You will rise to
the penthouse imminently.

Well, I didn't expect three votes.
Jesus Christ.

I thought two votes would have
secured it but,

yeah, very happy, very,
very honoured.

Well done, Matt, Isaak and Ramona.

Well done, guys. Well done.
Thank you.

I told everybody why I deserved it.

Everybody knew that I deserved it
but nobody voted for me.

I don't know why they didn't give me
that opportunity to do it.

Ramona, I voted for you because I
want to see the bad bits

in you come back -
you've got nothing to lose. Watch.

Thank you. No problem.

I feel let down by my
fellow Grafters

because it cost me my place,

in terms of potentially rising
as a Ruler.

If Ramona comes down, I'm the last
remaining male Grafter, b*tch.

I'll always be the Beyonce
of the group.

It's a strong trio this,
a strong trio.

Yes, and the people responsible

for chopping that trio down
to two, the Rulers.

Let's focus on what
we can guarantee.

If you try and overthink it,
that's when you make mistakes.

You don't have to overthink it,

you just need to have options
of what could happen.

The only people I will trust is

Rachel and Sam.

Who do you trust?

I trust Isaak.

Yeah. Cos I've known him for a very
long time down there.

I weirdly trust Ramona as well.

Yeah.

Ramona, obviously, she's such a
leader in any situation

that she's in and I think,

show yourself as
a threat down in the basement,

even before you get to the...
to the penthouse is

the biggest mistake anybody could
ever make.

The person here, which I just
can't trust...

..is Matt.

Oh, how come?

He's too f*cking nice.

I think he's a great Ruler,
don't get me wrong,

and I think he's been great
in the basement.

I guess we all trust different
people for different reasons.

This is the last time that
they're going to have

an opportunity to rise,

so the stakes are incredibly high.

There we go. Honestly.

It's a hard one because I think
I trust Ramona.

So, do I, I trust Ramona.
Yeah, I trust her.

But then that just comes down to,
you know...

We spent more time with her.
..a group decision.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

What is it about Ramona
that they like?

I'm so confused.

I think it's because she
voted for Sydney.

Yeah.

Ramona, she's such a strong lady,
powerful lady,

she would definitely try
and take control if she came up.

Erm, there would probably be
a lot of locking horns

up here with other people.

I think Rachel and Matt would
probably be the best bet.

Yeah, Rachel needs to get,
she needs to get,

cos I can have a good chat
with her and say, listen,

up here right now.

Mm. We've got each other's back
and we know Eddy doesn't like Matt

so that's why we need Matt if
that scenario comes.

Not that he doesn't like him,
he just doesn't really trust him.

We just need to make sure, me,
you and Syd obviously vote

for the same person tomorrow.

Yeah, and pick the same
people tonight.

I believe me, Rossi and Sydney have
each other's back.

Eddy, on the other hand,
very level headed,

doesn't want to get involved
in anything like that.

As long as me, Sydney and Rossi
have each other's back,

I'm sure we should be OK,

regardless of whatever
happens tonight.

OK, I think Moses has somebody's
back but I'm not sure

and away from the planning
and back having,

down in the basement,
it's all love.

Bye guys.

Smash it. Have fun!
Cheers, love.

It's last chance saloon,
isn't it for me to,

to return as a Ruler in
the penthouse?

There's no more opportunities
for us to do so,

so tonight is going to be
a big one.

Smash it guys. See you soon.
Bye, then.

Take care of each other.
We will.

I was going to go g*ns blazing
but they get to decide

whether we stay so I'm
going to be cool,

I'm going to communicate
with Sydney like it's all good.

Be neutral with your enemies -
always keep your enemies closer.

Well done! See you later.
See you later.

THEY CHEER

While they get some peace and quiet
in the lift for about 42 seconds,

the Rulers are prepping for a party
for their Grafters.

MUSIC: Up, by Cardi B

CORK POPS
Oh!Eddy...!

Oh. Whoa!

THEY LAUGH

This is it, the final one.
I'm going to go in,

all g*ns blazing.

I'm doing it for me.
I'm doing it for the family.

I'm doing it for the boys in Wigan!

Ramona is back.

She's coming up that lift.

Watch out.

Buzzing, I'm buzzing.

What, what's the saying?

Phoenix is, fire out the,
phoenix out the fire,

is that the right saying?

Ah, forget it,
I'm going to sound stupid.

You've had a difficult few weeks
love, we'll let you off.

Good luck, guys.

They're here to pitch to us.

EXCITED SCREAMS

Three Grafters are about to
hit the penthouse

and with only two Ruler crowns
up for grabs,

this is a make or break moment

because the least favoured
Grafter will be headed

straight back to the basement.

Hello? Oh...

What's up?

SHE SCREAMS EXCITEDLY

Seeing Matt, Ramona and
Isaak come up was

a big disappointment for me.

I didn't even get to see Rachel.

I was really hoping Rachel came up.

I instantly knew this was going to
be a very, very tough decision.

Eddy, I can just tell you one thing,
you rock a suit.

HE LAUGHS
You rock a f*cking suit.

Come on, let's be quick then.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Er, let's go outside.

How's it been here?

It's been all right.
Intense yesterday.

Did you watch the
Red Room yesterday?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It was the correct decision, bro.

I thought, I don't know, what
did you think about it?

I was surprised Moses went for
Sophie because when I came up here,

Moses wanted me, him and Sophie
to team up.

If I get up here again, I've said it
to the Grafters, I'm not,

I'm not creating allies,
I don't believe in it.

So do you know the feedback today?
Yeah. What do you want in that?

Like just standing my ground
a little bit more?

No, I think it was,

it was when you were
doubting yourself,

not doubting yourself, going like,

oh, I know I should go up
but I don't know why

I should go up, I don't know why...
Yeah.

I was like, Isaak,
you don't need to say that.

You are fantastic as you are.

You need to have that belief
and like, no,

I will do a fantastic job.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Isaak missed out on the last rise
so I'm really glad

to see him back up
and I think he's going to make

a fantastic Ruler if we choose him.

When we were watching you down
there do all the shifts

and even the overtime,
you were the only one in there

giving encouragement, wasn't he?
Yeah. The other day. I know...

We can hear it, we can literally
hear it. Yeah.

Did you watch the whole thing, did
you? Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I just think, you know, what you
see with me is what you get. Yeah.

From the very beginning,
I've been open,

transparent and honest.
I was up here for 11 days,

that's like, I think that...
You done time.

..suggests something,
do you know what I mean? It's...

I'd rather do 11 days in the nick
than do it here,

you know what I mean? Yeah.
Because the pressure here is...

It's something else. Yeah, we've...
we've realised that.

I think Matt deserves it.

He's had both experiences now,
so maybe that's changed him a bit

and make him a better Ruler.

I'm very much like you.
I wear my heart on my sleeve.

I'm very emotional.

You know what you're going to get
with me because you've seen me

do it for 11 days. It's a bit of an
unknown, isn't it,

with Isaak and Ramona?

Are they going to sort of
take a risk

and choose the other two over me?

I mean, it would be a little bit
silly, if you ask me.

Sydney, you look so hot.
Thanks.

I would take you home.
THEY LAUGH

Take me home with you. But is it
nice to see me? Is it like...

Yeah, no, I wanted you to come up.

Is everyone cool here, do they feel
like I'm a threat,

does it feel like I'm here to
increase the prize fund, that's it?

No, I've said that, I've said that
from the start, like,

you want to push the prize fund up.
Yeah.

That's your main thing you want to
do. Yeah. And obviously like,

last night when I had to obviously
vote Sophie out, I was like,

I feel bad it wasn't based on
the prize fund. Yeah.

But at the same time, if there's no
trust, there's nothing.

You said exactly what she did,
which was good. Yeah, yeah.

You did a good job.
We cheered, we screamed.

Oh, did yous?
Yeah, you did a very good job.

Thank you. We're good. I just want
to hug you. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And tell you, it's good to see you.

Stepping back into the penthouse,

I did what I had to do at the,
you know, to get my point across

to everybody that I'm chilled

and it's a clean slate
and I'm up here to do -

but clearly not, everything else
will fall in later.

There's still some people up here
who shouldn't be up here

and I don't know,

I hope Ramona gets a chance
to clean that up.

You really opened up today in
the thing. It was nice.

I've been crying for the last
two days, mate.

I don't know what's going
on with me.

It's the basement. We were saying
today on the sofa, going...

Like reminiscing about the basement

and how it does things to people -
in a good way.

But I am like that
but only my husband sees it.

I'm really glad that Ramona's
made it to the penthouse

cos she has grafted so hard in

the work shifts, keeping morale up
in the basement,

so really pleased to see her up,
where she belongs.

I've realised I've got 24 hours
to f*cking fight for myself now.

Yeah. You said last time
and it was so difficult

because we...

..because obviously Sophie came up
and Eddy

and obviously Moses was fighting
for Sophie the last time. Yeah.

So it was really difficult but,
yeah,

just fight for yourself, Isaak.

Attention please.

Wow, that was quick.

All Rulers report to
the Red Room immediately.

Right, if I don't see you...
Yeah.

Take care. Good luck.

If I don't see you, brother,
good luck, yeah.

Yeah, I hope so.

Good luck.
Good luck, yeah.

See you later.
See you later.

Do you know what, I could have a
double bed here tonight?

I could have coffee in the morning,
unlimited coffee.

Yeah, it's getting me excited.

It's almost like the first time
I kissed a girl.

Just left in their hands, isn't it?

You can't really do anything
else apart from trust,

trust yourself that you got
the best out of you.

It is a really difficult decision
to make tonight

because all three equally deserve
to be in the penthouse.

They've all done fantastic jobs.

If I pick the wrong Grafter tonight,

the worst that can happen is,
they could vote for you,

simple as that.

The pressure is kicking in.

This is the last one.

This maybe their only chance.

Rulers, the time has come
to choose which two

Grafters will rise,

Isaak, Matt or Ramona.

The Grafters chosen
to rise will take part

in tomorrow's elimination.

They will not be immune.

Right.

Let's clear one, one out.

How many people would like Isaak up
here? Raise your hands.

Three. OK. So shall we just get
Isaak out the way.

Isaak, Isaak's in. And then that's
done. Yeah. Isaak's in.

Let's just discuss Ramona and Matt.
OK.

Matt's been up here,
I mean, and he's done a lot. Mm-hm.

So I will definitely put my
cards on the table and say Matt.

Do you agree or not?

No.

Are you Ramona?
Yeah.

Yeah, I'm the same.

Matt, to be fair,
for me was the most neutral guy.

I really wanted him
to get picked over Ramona.

I think she is a bit
too power-hungry

and there's a reason why she got
kicked out at the start.

What I do know about Matt,

is that for him to have stayed
up here for 11 days,

you must have been doing
something correct.

He understands the pressure
up here already.

He will fit just right in.

In terms of being down there,

look how Ramona k*lled that
overtime shift.

All of the work, she still puts
100 into everything.

I'm not sure what she can do up
here,

but I'm sure what Matt
can do up here.

Moses and Rossi want Matt

but I want to put the best person
in the penthouse.

Me and Sydney are confident that

Ramona will actually do
the best job.

We all work, us four... Yeah.
..incredibly well as a team.

Absolutely. She might give that
diversity of risk taking,

which maybe we don't have around
the table at the moment.

With Matt, I love him as a person,
I really do,

but I feel like, the thing he keeps
going on about

is he's compassionate.

But I think, like you said
about Ramona, she's a risk-taker,

it's something different she
can bring to the table.

You're also compassionate.
I am.

So I feel like Matt's main quality,
we've already actually got.

I trust Ramona.
I think she's very genuine.

She does say how it is and I think
she'll do great up here.

Attention Rulers.

Please submit your
collective decision.

You're for Ramona.
Yeah.

I'm for Ramona.

You're definitely for Matt.

Yes.

You're definitely for Matt.
Yeah.

This is a game changing deal.

Ramona is one of the last people
I want up here.

Rulers. A decision must be reached.

We're late in the stage,
we can't be losing money.

I think Ramona will bring
something different to the table.

I think she came in very...
like tough

and obviously the last few days,

she's obviously shown her
compassionate side.

I think it's brung out more of her

and we've seen her upset,
we've seen it.

I think that she will bring a
different perspective to things.

With going Ramona,
we are taking a gamble,

saying she's a risk taker,
I think she can do that,

I think she can do that
but with Matt,

we know what he's done,
there's a history, there's.

Yeah. There's literally records
of the things that he has done

and I just don't know why we're
taking a risk

at this late of the stage of saying,
oh, well maybe,

maybe she'll push the button.
Yeah.

We don't necessarily need that.

Remember, we all need a chance.
Like we always said,

like, you gave me one to come up,
I gave you one.

We just need to make a decision.

I'm happy to go Ramona and Isaak.

So be it then.

So do we hear the final vote or do
we see the whole discussion?

No, just the final vote. Yeah.

THEY SIGH

MONITOR BUZZES

Oh, f*cking hell.

The two Grafters that will
rise to power

and join us as Rulers in
the penthouse, are...

Isaak and...

Ramona.

Congratulations, guys.

That's it?

I am a little bit surprised,
if I'm completely honest.

I've got to go. Oh, my God.

I think it's a bit of a risk taking
on Isaak and Ramona,

so close to the final.

All right, bye. Bye, Matt.
Bye. See you later.

Take care. See you later.

Ramona, when I, we'll see Ramona,
what she's like tomorrow.

She said she's going to give it
to them in the Red Room

so I feel as though, that they...

They may regret their decision.

Guess who's back?!

SHE LAUGHS

It took so f*cking long
to get back here,

but guess what?

Lady boss is back!
