- Last time on "99 to Beat"...

- Help.

- If we lose, then
we're all going home.

- Newlywed Julian was sent
home to join his wife, Aggie.

This is brutal.

There were family dramas
for the Wagners--

- I'm pinned.

- Meaning that half

- Don't touch me.

- Seth and Jennifer made
it through

by the skin of their teeth.

Come on.

there's only one rule.

all:
Don't finish last!

- There is a million dollars
at stake.

We started with 100 players,

and now we are down to 39.

But at the end of the day,
only one person

can win this million dollars.

So there's going to be
some hard goodbyes coming.

- Remember, you don't
have to be first.

You don't have to be the best.

But whatever you do--

Don't finish last!

- Players, this game
is played in rounds.

Lights will dance
around the floor

before stopping, revealing
a number of static spotlights.

When the lights stop moving,

any player who finds
and stands in a spotlight

will be through and move
to the safe zone.

Any players who fail to stand
in one of the spotlights

will play again.

The last player
to stand in a spotlight

at the end of the game
will be eliminated.

- It's musical chairs
without music

and the chairs, just lights.

- Which means you got
to throw your body around.

- Yeah, Robert could
throw his weight around.

- I think some people
might underestimate me

in this game due to my age,
being 50, and my dad bod.

- I think Cara-Maria
is going to excel.

- So maybe we'll
go back-to-back?

- Yeah.

- The only way that I've known
how to do stuff like this

is physical.

And I got to dial it back
because there's

some broken people out there,

and I don't want to hurt
anybody.

- Competing against each other
is nothing new to us.

We've done it our whole lives.

So it's actually
exhilarating and exciting.

You should be able to do this.

It's simple.

Eye of the Stormm.
Eye of the Stormm.

It's important for me not
to give up because I have

two kids at home watching me.

I have big dreams for them.

I'm tired of working.

I want to be there to see
their accomplishments.

time we're getting closer.

It just--it gets more intense.

lights dance around, they stop,

and someone not on a light
have to play again.

- You may want to go
in an area

where you don't see
a lot of people.

There's too many people
in the middle.

- Whoa.

Go for the three-pointer.

Just kind of go
on the outskirts.

Go for the baseline.
- From downtown.

- I would shove someone.

- I would.

- This is a million dollars.
- Yeah.

Oh, no. Oh, God.

- Oh, my God.

- The three of us.
- Ain't no way.

So the refs are
looking at the tape.

Will they give this

Congrats

And just as I got there,

I got slammed into

- Will it be James
or Cara-Maria?

Whoa!
- Go get it, girl.

- Big James.
- Whoa!

- Muscled her out.

- Surprise!

James muscles out Cara-Maria.

Cara-Maria can't believe it.

Neither can I.

going to be easy,

it right now.

Oh, Cara-Maria goes through.

Geraldine must play again.

Preston moves through.
Leandra must play again.

Just four players left--
Geraldine, Leandra,

Robert, Stormm.

One of them's going home.

in the bottom four.

the final round.

Whoever is the last player
to stand in a spotlight

will be eliminated.

only going to be

three lights going to come up.

And I do have
a very strong premonition

that this is it for me.

It's $1 million
on the other side.

And I'm just, like, so nervous.

[buzzer blares]

- Oh, come on.
Come on, guys.

- So this is it.

Come on, y'all got this.

This is it.

Geraldine,
Stormm, Leandra, or Robert.

- Hey, trust yourself, Stormm!

Come on, Stormm.

Oh, no! Oh, no!

Good job, Leandra.
Good job.

I run straight forward.

to my light,

this is a race now.

had she just turned her head

ever so slightly...

- Robert was way down there.
- Way over.

- Leandra's through.

[cheering]

Robert is through.

will be played in pairs.

You will be connected
at the waist

by a length of rope that will
be wrapped around one of you.

In your pairs,
you must work together

to transfer the rope
from one person to another

by spinning around
without using your hands.

The last pair to transfer
their rope will be split up

from the safe players.

They will then go head-to-head

The last player

Players, please now
choose your pairs.

what would get me.

I keep thinking of, like,

Does Queen Joann have vertigo?

Miko and Queen Joann.

- I do love it.
- That is cute.

- I don't want to spin
too much to practice.

- No, no, no.
Yeah, save it for the day.

I was a kid actor
a million years ago,

I was in "Pet Sematary,"

"Full House,"
"Kindergarten Cop."

People often ask me
to say the line

from "Kindergarten Cop,"

boys have a penis,
girls have a vagina.

I'm going to turn
and look at you.

Turn and look at you.

- Collin and Preston,

kind of the same body type.
- Yeah.

- Definitely same eyebrows,

but we're not worrying
about that.

- I know I can trust him.

He's my younger brother.

We're about the same height,

so we figured it'd be a good
combination for this challenge.

- Mario is paired with Ciara.

- I've been sniffing that out
for a few challenges.

- So you think they might
have had something going on?

- Oh, yeah.

- We definitely have some
connection, and we talk a lot.

So, yeah, definitely a lot
of trust and communication.

Come here.

- I do worry
about Seth and James.

I don't want them
to get eliminated.

It would break my heart.

- I know.
I can't have that.

- I do worry about
the relative size disparity.

- Here we go.
We're about ready to go, go.

- So this is it.

[buzzer blares]

I'm fascinated to see
how this will go, Ken.

- Oh.
So it's simple.

They have to work
together in pairs

to transfer the rope
between them.

But the last pair has to play
again with a new partner.

And being athletic,
agile, and nimble,

that's going to favor
this game right now.

Oh, no.
Seth and James.

- What?

- There's spooling
below James' knees.

- Oh, no.
- Seth, you're going too fast.

- Spin towards me.

There you go.

- Queen Joann is doing
much better than I thought.

Miko's guiding her.

Well, that's
the "Dirty Dancing" version

of spooling.

- People are dizzy.
- I don't blame 'em.

- Keep it nice and slow.

- I'm just spinning
and spinning.

And next thing you know,

I'm just about landing
next to Miko.

- You're good.
- We're good.

- That.

We're done!
- Oh.

- Done!

- Ciara and Mario are done.

- That was stressful.
- Good job.

I had the Power Ranger
with me, so, obviously,

I knew that was going
to be a easy win.

- Looks like Miko
and Joann are through.

- Wrap! Wrap! Wrap!

- But the queen, she's
looking a little dizzy.

- She needs water.

She's a little sick from it,
and a bucket, maybe.

like there are six pairs left.

- We're there.
We're there.

Peter and Geraldine

with the Wagner brothers,

Preston and Collin.

Oh, no.

Luigi and Miranda

Which pair will be safe?

And who will have
to play again?

neck and neck right now.

James and Seth are
going head-to-head,

both physically

and mentally exhausted.

I want to remain
in this competition

moving forward

the last couple to succeed

and must now choose
a partner to play again.

Your partners
will remain safe.

The last pair to transfer
their rope will lose,

will be eliminated.

Please choose your partners.

- I hate this.

I love Seth and James so much.

- Peter, please help me.

- Peter the priest.

- David.

- World record holder David R.

- Ken, these are
strong choices from both.

Peter and David R
have consistently been

two of the front-runners
throughout these games.

Are they going to be
this way at times?

- Everybody, be who you are.

We'll be fine.
- We'll be good.

- As long as we don't drop our
balls and we get through it,

we got it.
- Yeah.

- This is huge, Erin.

We're about to lose
four players.

[buzzer blares]

[buzzer blares]

- And they are off.

- Here we go.
Tennis ball weave.

And 36 players
are still in the game.

- You have a maze.

Four people.

Got to work together as a team

to weave the ball
through the maze.

- Oh, grab it, grab it,
grab it, grab it, grab it.

- Big hands, basketball player.

I wonder if that's a factor.

Remember, every time
they drop the ball,

they have to go back to their
position and start again.

This is hard for Joann.

She's a little short.

- It's too high.

It looks like Joann's
really struggling

to reach
for that handover, Erin.

Will, the Team Yellow captain,

is leading by example
right now,

but he's having a slow start.

Look at that.
- Will has big hands.

He does.
- It's like talons.

- This has got to be hard
for him.

- It's eagle talons he has
right now, going up that maze.

- Marsha doing well.
- Marsha doing great here.

- Cool mom.
Cool mom.

- Cool mom Luke.

- You're doing great.

Yes, now just like we--

[ball clatters]

- Will is having
a nightmare right now.

Look at Cara-Maria, just...

nervous right now.

- Oh, we're actually ahead.
- Yeah.

- So just take your time.
- Take your time.

- David R's Green Team
are just so composed.

- Peter, take us home.

- Resting it on here.
Start resting it on here.

- Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I got it, G. I got it.

I got it right here, bro.

- Will's team
keeps falling down.

They're still at the begin--
This is so sad.

Peter, he's going
to finish very soon.

Whoa.
- Come on!

- Nice.
Come on!

Wow.

- Oh, it's just too easy, guys.

- That was awesome.

- Slow is smooth,
and smooth is fast.

Got a good game plan.
Got people to keep their cool.

Everyone's encouraging.

- Mm-hmm.
- That's how stuff gets done.

- Whoo!
- Gianna's finished.

So that means
Miko's team is safe.

And Tommy's team is through
as well, Erin.

We're now down
to the final six teams.

- I want you to get
all the way up to the top.

Don't even think about Preston
until you get there.

- No, no.

- Team Leo having
some frustrations here.

- Preston.
- Preston's taken over.

[tense music]

- Look, Leandra's Team Pink
has made it through.

- Good job.

- Team Ronald's in.

- And just like that,
we're suddenly down

to four teams left, Erin--

Team Jared, Joann, Leo,
and Will.

We are about to lose
four big-time players here.

- That's it.

- You know what?

I got to give
Cara-Maria credit.

She's really just working
it through with Joann.

- It's going to take
you straight down.

- All right.
- Slow.

- Make sure you're getting it.
- Slow, baby.

- I'm not rushing.
We have time.

- Good.

- This kills me with...

- I know.
- Will's team.

- They are in the same position

as Team Jared.

- Team Jared is
really struggling.

This could be it for them.

Queen Joann is
on the verge of advancing.

Do not drop.

Joann has kept her cool.
Yes.

- That's it!
- Wow.

- Team Joann is in.

- I needed you.

I knew that you would do
what you did for us.

We worked really well
as a team.

Our "Challenge" winner right
here talked us calmly through.

She was our guide
for each person,

so not everybody
was yelling and talking.

- Love it.

We're down
to the final three teams,

Team Jared, Team Leo,
and Team Will.

- I really worry
about Team Yellow.

We're going to lose
some big heavy hitters

if they don't get it going.

Oh, man.

- Literally down.

- Jared is doing amazing.
He got it figured out.

- He's really calmed down.
- Yeah, he really has.

If Seth can't get this
to the next level,

they are done.

Look, Jared's about
to go forward.

Look at that.
- Wow.

- Look at him go forward.
Amazing.

We're down
to the final two teams,

Leo's Silver Team
and Will's Yellow Team.

And whatever happens,
we are going to lose a Wagner,

either Jake P or Preston.

- Slow down just a little bit.

- It's so painful, where
someone's on the verge

of being eliminated.

- Don't forget, you guys,
Tabi, she's watching.

That's her husband, Jake P.
- Yeah.

- Ugh, so it's between Preston
and Jake now.

Oh, my gosh.
- Oh, no.

Look at Tabi.
Look at Tabi.

- They keep dropping it.

- Don't worry. Don't worry.
Come on.

- It's getting tense now.

- So tense.
You can see it.

- Marsha is shaking
like a leaf.

- I'm getting nervous,

telling myself,
you can do this.

- Guys are looking around.

My job as the captain
is to tell them,

hey, stay focused,
lock in.

♪

[ball clatters]
- Look at Ciara.

Oh, no.

Look at Tabi.
She is freaking out.

This is nerve-racking.
- I can't watch this.

[buzzer blares]

- Look at Will, Seth,
Jake P, and Mario.

Ah, man.
I'm getting emotional.

- I don't love this.
- This hurts.

The stakes literally
couldn't be any higher.

It just shows how close
everyone has gotten.

- I'm sorry to see you go.
- Of course.

I feel pretty awful.

I feel like I let my team down.

I am sorry. Good luck.
- You did a good job.

- Seth has shown so much heart
in this competition

that I hate to see him go.

- I'm so sorry.

- [sniffles]

- We've all watched Mario
and Ciara get closer and closer

throughout this whole thing.

- I know you are,
but I'm going to miss you.

- I'm good, all right?

Come on.

- Mm.

- Look at--
Oh, man.

- I love you.
- I love you, too, girl.

- I've really gotten
to know him.

He's such a good guy,
and he deserves this so much.

[crying] Like, I wanted him
to win more than me.

So I'm just really sad
for him to go.

- Another Wagner gone.

- Tabi, that's her husband,
Jake P.

- We joke about why they
didn't compete together.

They didn't compete together
because they need

to compete apart
for one to survive.

- Sure.

- I knew this day would come.

I was hoping
we could just go on

to the next challenge together,

but, unfortunately,
that's not the case.

And so I'm going to have
to just try extra hard

for our family.

[crying]
- Tabi overcome.

Just four Wagners left.

You doing OK?
- I'm OK.

[somber music]

[suspenseful music]

- Team Will--

Jake P, Mario, Seth, and Will--
[cheers and applause]

You guys are all-stars,
some of our heavy hitters.

But I'm afraid you finished
in last place,

and your million-dollar dream
is over.

[upbeat music]

- Anyone going
through a cancer journey,

they'll be inspired to know

that it's not
about, like, conceding.

It's about persevering,
you know?

- It hurts--

the money for my kids,
for my family.

Sometimes life ain't easy.

I feel I let them down.

[sniffles]

I feel I let them down.

[cheers and applause]

- Whoo!

- With four people
eliminated,

that prize has just grown
by another $40,000

and now stands at $680,000.

[applause]

[suspenseful music]

- Players, you must
use 26 cards to build

a 4-tier house of cards.

The last player
to complete the challenge

will be eliminated.

- I'm actively rooting
for many players to win.

David R--is he the GOAT,
or is he just lucky?

- Ciara is singing
"All by Myself" right now.

- I feel sad.

Mario was so supportive.

It's definitely
a big loss for me.

- OK, Jake P and Tabi--
if Jake gets eliminated,

Tabi could just say,
like, I'm bummed.

I can't--
- Yeah.

- Oh, and there's Robert.

How will he steady his nerves
on this game?

- Plan on blowing
on my fingers

so that they're not sticking
to the cards.

- David R meditating,
but the old foot is bouncing.

- Mm.
- I'm going to do that.

[exhales deeply]

- I'm going to do that, too.
I want to beat David R.

[buzzer blares]

And we are off.

26 cards to build
a 4-tiered house of cards.

Last one to do it, eliminated.

- What is happening
with David R?

- You know what?
I think a little sleep apnea--

probably just narcolepsy,
just getting--

Oh, no, he's starting.
Oh, it was deliberate.

- Not finished
with his manifestation.

I wouldn't put Robert
to have shaky hands.

- Could just be tired.

Not Peter, though.
- Goodness.

- Is Peter new David R?

David R, look
at his hands shaking.

He's struggling like Ronald.

[suspenseful music]

Goodness,
this is painful to see.

- I know.
I hate it.

- Peter is done.

- Yo, ref.
- Wow, come on.

helping out.

on the rock,

it stands firm, baby.

so positive and cute.

Yes, Tabi.

I know that Jake is going
to be proud of me, too.

- Ciara, how is she doing?

Moving on, coping.

Is Jared playing solitaire?

I don't know
what he's doing there.

What kind of house
is Robert building?

It should be 4, 3, 2, 1,
not 4, 4, blank.

- Ooh, it's a lot harder
than it looks.

16 players left.

David R is making progress.

Never count him out.

Cara-Maria has done it.

[dramatic music]

- [gasps]
- Look at that.

- Whoa.

- That could have toppled
Jared's cards.

- Yep.

just gentle

Look at that.

David R has done it.

so relieved right now.
