- Welcome
to the greatest competition

in the history of mankind.

[dramatic music]

100 players.

A life-changing
amount of money.

Here we go.

[dramatic operatic singing]

50 seemingly simple games.

- Whoo!

- Nothing has been so simple,
yet so difficult.

♪

[laughter]

- I'm crying.

You don't have
to finish first.

You don't have to be the best.

CONTESTANTS:
Oh!

- There's just one rule
to remember.

Don't finish last.

- One mishap
and it could be over.

- You actually feel
that pressure.

- I'm here for that million,
not friends.

KEN:
Because if you finish last,

your million-dollar dream
is over,

and you're out of the game.

♪

- We've all fought
so hard to get here.

- I have to make it
all the way to the end.

[suspenseful music]

KEN: Players,
welcome to "99 to Beat."

One person can win
this million dollars,

so there's gonna be
some hard goodbyes coming.

ERIN: Remember, Ken,
you don't have to be first.

You don't have to be the best.

But whatever you do--

ALL:
Don't finish last!

[cheers and applause]

- This is a football field
kind of view here.

♪

- This is exactly what
a Super Bowl pregame is like.

You see Patrick Mahomes.

You see those guys have
to be chill because there's

so much going into it.

ANNOUNCER: Players, hanging
above you are 1,000 balloons.

Hidden inside some of those
balloons are Hawaiian leis.

When the balloons drop,
you need to find a lei

and put it on.

There are 100 of you,
but only 99 leis.

Every single game puts
a million dollars on the line.

But remember,
don't finish last.

- How would you attack this?

- I would be aggressive.

Just stomp, stomp, stomp.
Pop, pop, pop.

AGGIE: We wanted to come
on "99 to Beat"

because this money would be
great to go on a honeymoon,

buy a new home, you know, start
our life together as a couple.

- So I don't think
height really

matters for this challenge.

I'm the luckiest person
in the entire world.

I've even won my wedding dress,
skincare, makeup products.

You name it,
I've probably won it.

- I wish I was a little taller.

- No, Janice, you've got this.

- I am only thinking
about myself,

and how can I get
one of those leis?

[dramatic music]

- To be the first one
to be eliminated

would be a nightmare
come true.

KEN: There's 1,000 balloons,
but only 99 leis,

and not every balloon
has a lei.

For the first time,
it's game time.

Here we go.
- Let's go.

- All right, everybody turn
to uncivilized animals

in five, four, three, two, one.

[buzzer blares]

ERIN: How physical is
this gonna get?

KEN: Look at that.

Just jumping right in. Wow.

CONTESTANT: I got it!
KEN: This is such a quick game.

Players are
already finding leis.

- Yeah!

KEN: Half the players
already have leis.

Oh. There's lucky Tori.

What's she doing
with those two balloons?

Oh, yes, she's got one.

- Whoo!

Yes!

ERIN: Newlywed Julian still
doesn't have a lei.

♪

KEN: Frank the clown is
still looking for that.

Could he go home?

He could go home.

Wow, there is panic right now.

Look, Frank is freaking out.

My worst nightmare
is happening.

ERIN:
Go to the outside circle.

Outside circle is
where you find them.

CONTESTANT: Whoa!

KEN: He snatched it out
of Mariama's hand.

- Wow.

MARIAMA:
I had it in my hand.

He found a lei.

Now we only have
three players left:

Mariama, Janice, and Geraldine.

ERIN: There's the lei
right there.

KEN:
All three are going for it.

- Is everyone OK?

- Oh, my God, is she OK?

Let's check the replay.

Janice, our oldest player.

Mariama got the lei.

So now it's just Janice
versus Geraldine.

Go get it! Go get it!

Oh, God.

[triumphant music]

- Oh, no!

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God!

[buzzer blares]

That was crazy.
- That was bananas.

- That was the craziest
first game ever.

ERIN:
I'm so sorry.

JANICE:
Just rotten luck.

I must have popped
10 balloons,

and none of them had
the flower lei in it.

Oh.

♪

- Janice, I am so sorry.

Your journey is over
before it even began.

You are the first player to be
eliminated from the game.

You have finished
in 100th place.

And your million-dollar dream
is over.

[cheers and applause]

JANICE: I really wanted
to show all of these people

who are a lot younger than me
that I really had it going on.

Even though I might have
been eliminated,

I'm still feeling really good
about myself.

[cheers and applause]
- Go, Janice!

♪

ERIN: At the end of this
competition,

one of you will win
the grand prize of $1 million.

There were 100 of you.

So for every player eliminated,
$10,000 is added to the prize.

With Janice leaving, the prize
now stands at $10,000.

[cheers and applause]

ANNOUNCER: Players, it's time
for our second game.

You each have a whistle
encased in a block of ice.

You must defrost it
using only body heat,

then blow the whistle.

You must not smash
the ice block on the floor.

The last player to blow their
whistle will be eliminated.

- This game is crazy.
ERIN: Ridiculous.

SETH: You know, I really
thought that they were

gonna do a game where
you had a block of ice

and you needed to melt it down,

and so I thought,
you know what?

I'll wear the tweed coat today.

ERIN:
Ken, what's your strategy?

- Friction on a body part
that's hot.

And the hottest part
of my body is my personality.

- Aw.

- And one and two
and three and four.

It's ice, so we're trying
to do some exercises

to get some sweat going.

And that's just [indistinct]
right there for you.

My hand's getting nice and hot.

- Family has just been our core
value since we're born.

But I'm gonna fight
tooth and nail,

even if it's against
my own brother,

for that million dollars.

- Student loans are high.

You're going down, girl.

ERIN: Oh, there's our lady
from "Survivor" right there.

KEN: Pacing herself.

She's just like,
that's how I want to be.

SANDRA:
I'm Sandra Diaz-Twine.

I'm a two-time winner
of "Survivor."

I'm excited to play the game,
but I know that

there's a lot of pressure

that comes with my performance,
so fingers crossed.

I'm gonna do my best.

That's all I can do.

- Here, I can open up
my shirt

and shove it up
under my armpit.

- I can shove it up here.

We're best friends.

Anybody would be lucky
to have a long-term...

friend like that.
- Friend like me.

- Yeah, like you.

That's right.

ANNOUNCER:
Players, in this game,

you will be randomly split
into teams of 12.

You will each have a bucket
attached to your head

and must pass water
from one bucket to the next

and deposit what remains
into a container

at the front of your row.

As a team, you must continue
adding water to your container

in order to retrieve
the Ping-Pong ball inside.

The last team to fill
all three cylinders

will all be eliminated.

- This is brutal.

AGGIE: I'm a very
competitive person.

- And I'm a ex
retired wrestler,

so being competitive is--

it's just in my nature.

[upbeat music]

- Get it, get it, get it,
get it, get it.

Go.

We are both very competitive.

- We have a very YOLO
mentality towards life,

and we, like, take things
as they come to us.

Ah!

- May the best sibling win.

KEN: So this is
our first team game,

and the teams have been
selected at random.

It will be played in two heats.

The first heat is between
blue, yellow, pink, and green.

The losing team will
have to play again

in the elimination playoff.

JULIAN:
That's about 3 feet.

We gon' need about 30--

30, 40 buckets.

It's more than you think.

KEN: But look, our newlyweds
are on separate teams.

The honeymoon could be
over before it begins.

a little nervous just because

I'm going against Julian.
