All language subtitles for The Summit US S01 E02_track3_[eng]

MANU:
Deep in the New Zealand Alps...

Kia Ora.
I'm Manu Bennett.

Welcome to Aotearoa.

...16 everyday Americans
began their journey.

On their backs,

an equal share
of one million dollars.

Oh, my God. That's insane!

You have 14 days
to reach the summit.

If you miss that deadline,

you will all go home
with nothing.

-Oh.
-Ooh.

MANU:
Their journey will take them
up dizzying heights...

over treacherous terrain

and through arctic winds

that will push them
to their limits.

And only those who make it
to the top

will split what's left
of the million dollars.

-JEANNIE: Summit, here we come!
-(whooping)

JEANNIE:
My family--
they think I'm a cool mom.

DENNIS:
I see a lot of moms. (laughs)

I didn't expect that.

JEANNIE:
We got to motivate each other.

Mom Squad.

JENNYE:
Right now, there are

two groups forming.

One's slow...

JEANNIE:
My backpack is so heavy.

JENNYE:
...and the other fast.

-You good?
-Yup.

DENNIS:
We-We got to keep going.

-Suck it up.
-(groaning)

Whoa.

Hey, guys, Tony's down.

MANU:
The first member of the group
was taken off the mountain.

Tony!

MANU: And because he couldn't
reach the checkpoint camp,

so, too, was the money
he was carrying.

BO:
That could easily be me
or any one of us.

-Come on!
-DUSTY: We got Pati

physically not prepared
to be here.

I know that Bo's a great guy.

Physically,
he shouldn't be out here.

You're running late.

Along the way,

the mountain's keeper will
be tracking their every move

and forcing them
to make difficult decisions.

The mountain's keeper
is always watching.

She deems if you're worthy.

BECKYLEE:
Go get it!

MANU:
Last time,

given the chance
to quicken their pace...

"A person was left behind.

"You can choose to abandon them

"if you believe it will keep you
on track to reach the summit."

MANU:
...compassion got the better
of them.

GEOFF:
All in favor for bringing
Bo over, raise your hand.

MANU:
But after reaching
their first checkpoint camp,

they discovered just
how ruthless this game can be.

You're gonna get
to steal somebody's cash.

You're gonna vote
somebody off this mountain.

-Hold up!
-DENNIS: Rose has rubbed people

the wrong way.

Hang on.

DENNIS:
She's really bossy.

Anyone that wants
to vote Rose out,

please raise their hand.

MANU:
...leaving the rest
to continue on with her money.

DENNIS:
We stole that money,

and I feel great.

MANU:
Tonight,

the group is now down to 14,

with over $937,000 left
in their packs.

Oh!

MANU:
Now, they are about to tackle
even harder terrain...

...and be faced with
even more difficult decisions

that will leave
one person's fate hanging

by a thread.

*

(wind whistling)

AMY: I'm sorry, Bo.

I couldn't vote for Rose.
I'm sorry.

Well, here's the deal.

(whispering):
They pushed it on me.

GEOFF:
Absolutely.
They did the same to you.

AMY: They pushed it on Jeannie.
They pushed it on Jeannie, too.

She voted a mom out.

Seeing Rose go was hard,
and I think the vote

that shocked Rose the most
was that...

...Jeannie voted her out.

Jeannie totally showed her cards

and went with the majority

'cause it was the easy vote
at that point.

-We had to do a thing...
-Yeah, we had to do it.

...that wasn't
a lot of fun, and...

I also think it...

...I had to just use the most
recent information I have.

-Yeah.
-SHWETA: It's clear

that Amy's really emotional
with this vote-out.

SHWETA: Amy and Rose, I mean,
they were two peas in a pod.

But Amy is a social queen.

Like, she is playing
a social game

that is so strong
that nobody notices

she's at the back of the pack
and holding everybody back.

But we're not going up
to the summit with Amy.

-We've made our decision.
-We have to live with it.

We have to live with it
and move forward.

We made it
to our first checkpoint.

And the point
of that is that, like...

Yeah.

(birds singing)

MANU:
It's a new day on the mountain,

and the group is waking up

after their first night
at a checkpoint camp.

The luxuries of the night
came at a cost.

But the campsite gave the
remaining climbers sustenance...

-PUNKIN: Oh, my gosh.
-JEANNIE: Wow.

MANU:
...and a much needed surprise...

PUNKIN:
That's so beautiful.

We're going to that waterfall.

MANU:
...a chance to bathe.

(laughter)

NICK:
Damn. I'm not sure
if I can do it.

-You go, Beck!
-(whooping)

Damn!

I'm not going. Nope.
Look at these guys.

Do you...? No. Mm-mm.

(laughter)

JEANNIE:
I really don't know
how they're doing it.

THERRON:
I'm, like, so excited

to take a shower and be clean.

-Hey!
-Not bad.

'Cause I know my booty stank.

(laughs)
I'm feeling so bad about it.

-Oh!
-THERRON: Dusty!

DENNIS:
Looking like a commercial
right now.

BECKYLEE:
Waking up this morning,
Rose is gone.

There isn't
an obvious group target.

-Okay, here we go.
-THERRON: You got it, P.

BECKYLEE: I actually feel
like I have a really

good position
in this game right now.

(Therron whooping)

BECKYLEE: I'm bubbly,
and I'm happy, and I'm smiley,

-and I'm genuinely
fun to be around.
-Aah!

But I'm also cutthroat,
and I love to strategize,

and I love the game,

and I don't think I appear

as a person
who would think like that.

So I think that could be
a really good strength.

NICK:
Dennis, I need you
to hand me this

-right when I get out,
all right?
-Yes, Yes. Yeah.

-Go for it, buddy.
-NICK: As soon as I get out.

(laughter, whooping)

NICK: Day three.
The good news is, is right now,

I'm no threat. I'm laying low.

I'm letting the alphas try
to be the alphas right now.

And obviously, we can easily
tell by the Rose vote

that having people
on your side is a good thing.

-Oh, buddy.
-Ooh.

-You guys ready?
-All right.

-You guys ready to go back?
-Yup.

All right.

THERRON: Dude,
that was crazy.

ROBERT:
First round
of veggies is available.

And we're leaving in one hour!

So, I had a hard time voting
Rose off because I'm a mom.

Was there anybody else in there
that, like, had...?

-Yeah.
-So...

JEANNIE:
Rose is gone.

I did go with the majority,

and that was the hardest part
for me.

You guys know
I have your backs because

for me to go against
another mother took a lot.

You know, this,
our first voting somebody off

really got to me.
I mean, it did.

And I really didn't think
it was gonna be this hard,

but it was so hard for me.

But I think
you're having a hard time

'cause I think
you voted out of...

-Yeah. Yeah.
-Not pressure.

-Yeah.
-But I think you voted out of...

You didn't want to be
against the majority.

-Yeah.
-This is your game.

Yeah.

You're out here for confidence,
so stand on your own two feet.

AMY:
Jeannie's a wild card

because literally she's like,
"Hi-ho, let's go, moms."

And then... literally five
minutes later, votes Rose off.

I'm not saying us moms

have to stick together,
but we share a common interest.

JEANNIE:
Yeah, yeah, I know.
You're right. I agree.

When you raised your hand,

I think that's when I got
the most upset.

I was just like,
oh, my God, what's happening?

I know, it took a lot.

-If you saw me,
I raised my hand.
-You were--

-You were having a hard time.
-I was.

And that's why I knew
it wasn't your decision.

JEANNIE:
It was hard for me
to make that decision.

It was my first vote,

but they had the numbers.

Let's do this journey together.

-Confidence, mama.
-Yeah. (laughs)

But I have to say, having
a little bit more money

in the backpack today
feels good.

*

SHWETA:
So now that Rose is gone,

the mom squad is broken out,

the vibe is up.

I think Bo's in trouble
because Bo's a little slow.

If we take Bo out, maybe
we'll be a little bit faster,

because the game is getting

to the top of the summit
in 14 days,

but Bo might not
make it up at all.

ROBERT:
You guys think you can be
ready about five to ten minutes?

SHWETA:
My game plan moving forward is
to get out of the driver's seat.

I think I really controlled
a lot of the vote yesterday.

I think I was in the front,
I had the map.

THERRON: Yeah.

-Hey, Therron?
-THERRON: Yeah? Yes?

We're thinking of, like,
changing up the roles today.

-THERRON: Roles?
-Does anybody else want the map?

DUSTY:
No, I like Shweta with the map.

-I hate you.
-(laughter)

SHWETA:
My plan is to play it cool,

get rid of this map
and get the target off my back.

Geoff, do you feel strongly?

Yeah. You want it?

I'd love for you to have it.

I think I'm gonna do better
than people think,

-competition-wise.
-I trust you with it.

We'll take turns.

It would probably help me
to be underestimated.

If people don't think
I'm a threat,

then I'm lurking in the shadows.
I'm like a snake in the grass,

and I'm okay with that
in the beginning.

I mean, I'm wearing head-to-toe
pink, and I'm super girly.

I talk like a Valley girl,
but people don't know

that I'm super smart.

I work in strategy
at some of the largest

and most dominant
tech companies in the world.

I'm kind of the brains
of the operation,

and I scored in the top 25%
of the top 1% on my SATs

the first time I took them.

I mean, what, like it's hard?

If everybody can see,
this circle right here

is our starting point,

so we have a lot
of ground to go over.

JEANNIE:
Oh, man.

So we need to take off that way.

-PATI: Let's do it.
-PUNKIN: Let's do it.

JENNYE:
Day three.

MANU: On day three,
with 14 people remaining

and over $937,000
split between their packs,

the group still faces
lung-burning altitudes,

a freezing alpine lake

and a dangerous glacier traverse

before they can reach the final
icy ascent to the summit.

-(whooping)
-(laughter)

The journey will test them
in ways they've never known.

And today, the group must take

a steep descent
through thick brush,

cross a rickety,
dangerous bridge

and then climb
a near vertical grade

in order to reach
their next checkpoint camp.

-PUNKIN: Let's go, guys.
-THERRON: Good attitudes.

Teamwork. We got this.

GEOFF:
Today we have to really
work on communication,

and we have to work on pace.

We tasted a really nice
checkpoint for the first time,

and it's amazing, right?
The food, the drinks.

We definitely want
to have more of those.

ROBERT:
Oh, watch out.
Little slippery here.

GEOFF:
I feel great about
taking this leadership role.

I see it as an opportunity.

-Steep downhill coming up.
-AMY: Long downhill, guys.

JENNYE:
We're going downhill, guys.

GEOFF:
You want to show that

you can help everybody
get to the goal

that
we're all trying to accomplish.

I would like to think that
I'm trained for this adventure.

I would definitely consider
myself an athletic person.

Grew up playing football,
basketball, and track.

However, I've been
in school my entire life,

since the age of five.

Neuroscience was my undergrad.
And then I recently earned

my PhD specializing in
cognitive brain sciences.

So I'm a fresh doctor.

I love the brain. I love
the mind. I loved how it worked.

a-Big rock on your right.
-AMY: Big rock on your right.

Once you learn the power
that it really has,

you're unstoppable.

Hey, communication's

-stopping right now.
-GEOFF: Every day is
a learning curve.

We're getting better
and better and better.

All right, we're still moving.
Steady pace.

Hey, Geoff, I know this is
your first day in the front,

but why are you taking us
all through this brambles?

-(laughs) I'm sorry, Rob.
-(Robert laughs)

No, you're doing great, dude.
Thanks so much.

You know,
as I'm talking to people,

I'm not hearing a lot

of outdoor experience.

I'm like, okay, this is good.

This is something
I can bring to this team.

Make sure
you space out for brush.

As a camp counselor for years,
which I love...

Just pass back to remind people
to watch what they grab.

Great color out here, Rob.

...but I also try to keep
some of that to myself

because I don't want to be seen
as somebody who's always saying,

here's what we need to do.

Here's what we have to do.

At some point,
you're gonna be going,

"Can you shut your mouth,
please, Rob?" (laughs)

GEOFF:
Another drop-off.

-Oh, a little... Whoa! (bleep)
-AMY: Geoff!

I'm good, I'm good,
I'm good, I'm good, I'm good.

PUNKIN:
Hey, y'all,
we kinda have to hurry up.

-We gotta move.
-GEOFF: It's slippery.

It's slick down here.

BECKYLEE:
I just soaked myself.

-Oh, no.
-BECKYLEE: Big wet hole.

SHWETA:
You get one foot.

-PATI: (chuckles) Yeah.
-GEOFF: You good, Amy?

Yeah, I'm good.
I just hit that branch.

Little muddy.

AMY:
Guys, watch the trees
coming back at you.

-Big step down over here.
-Okay. Oh, and slippery.

BO:
You know, yesterday,
I was in the back

a lot of the time, but today
I'm trekking down the hill.

Calves are doing good,
but the ankles are hurting

because of the going down
in different angles...

GEOFF:
All right, slippery here.

BO:
...but I'm up in the front.

I feel like I'm proving myself.

-Feeling good? Good.
-Yeah.

How's everybody back there?
We good?

We elected Geoff
to be the leader.

Hey, it gets
a little bit better.

A little bit better up here.

BO:
Man, what a good leader he is.

Don't let me hit you.

I knew that he would take
a look back,

and if Bo needed to slow down,
he would slow down.

GEOFF:
Bo, we're almost through.

SHWETA:
It's so dangerous
to be the leader.

That's why, when I had the map,

I offloaded it immediately
to Geoff.

I'd love for Geoff to be
a little more of a target,

and I think other people
feel the same.

Geoff,
he is showing his strengths.

He is super likable,
gaining trust of others,

but he's also
a top elite athlete.

And those are three things
that worry me.

But once people start to notice

how strong of a player he is,
socially and physically,

I think that will be his demise.

If we didn't get Rose out there,
that would have been a problem.

No, no, he knew the plan.

...him and Dusty, sneaky,
athletic, too.

Dude is (bleep) chiseled.

He's chiseled like a Greek god.

We will get screwed.

...well, how soon is too soon?

DENNIS:
Yeah, but when we have

the mutual agreement
and understanding,

it is the time.

I think we'll all speak up
and be like, this is the time.

-I think let's, like,
keep it close to our chest.
-Yeah.

Let's not play
our hand too soon.

DENNIS:
You hear that, Punkin?

-PUNKIN: Mm.
-Let's just chill out,
have a good time.

DENNIS:
Geoff is by far
the scariest threat

on this mountain,

and I will throw his name
out there at some point.

JEANNIE:
We're climbing after this, guys.

We're going uphill after this.

Just so everyone can prepare.

GEOFF:
Let's have a break over here.

We got a nice little flat spot.

-BO: Could you get my water out?
-Oh, my God.

My man.
Got that second life, huh?

-Yeah.
-Make sure you get
a little water break.

This might be
the last one for a minute.

Got something to prove now.
Gotta prove.

Hey, we kept you for a reason,
dude. You know what I mean?

I trust you. You got it.

This is gonna be tough,
but we'll make it.

DUSTY:
Frankly, I think
we're going too slow,

and I'm getting worried
about it.

I'm starting to picture day 14
at the summit.

I don't see a world where
we could just maintain this pace

and be happy
with how it turns out.

But for now, I really am trying
to be a little bit of a fly

on the wall,
not rub anyone the wrong way.

I think there's a ridge,
a big ridge over there.

No way to cross.
We gotta go down and around.

-Deal.
-ROBERT: All right.

We're straddling the stream,

and it's gonna get slippery,
of course,

'cause it's water.

DUSTY: But when folks are
out of shape and unhealthy,

it naturally kind of bugs me.

It's like not
taking care of your house.

It's like not taking care
of your yard or your car.

Why do you expect to feel good
if you're not taking

care of your body? That can be
kind of a pet peeve of mine.

I currently live in
Boise, Idaho, and

I'm a real estate agent.
Real estate agents

have a (bleep) reputation
for probably a good reason,

because most of them are
kind of slimy.

We call it
they have "commission breath."

And I think there's a lot of
car salesmen out there,

but I try not to be
one of those.

My strategy going into
this game is going to be

to make sure that
I'm not too much of a threat.

I want to make sure
that I'm approachable.

I want to make sure
that folks trust me.

Thank you. Thank you.

DUSTY:
I'm more than happy
to help people.

I'm more than happy
to be supportive.

But at the end of the day,
if it's gonna

lessen my ability to win,
I can't do that.

-SHWETA: What is this?
-JEANNIE: No way.

-ROBERT: Oh!
-DENNIS: Oh. Oh, my God.

-What are we doing?
-DUSTY: I'm not even looking.

THERRON:
Oh, no.

DENNIS:
No, no, no.

Sketchy, sketchy bridge.

THERRON:
Oh, my God. Okay.

We walk up on this bridge,

and clearly she has not had
any TLC in a long time.

There's pieces missing.
There's pieces dangling.

There's a whole section
in the middle missing.

And I'm like,
I know they don't think

-I'm about to cross this bridge.
-DENNIS: Oh, my God.

(wind whistling)

-Whoa.
-DENNIS: Oh, my God.

"This gorge stands
between you and the summit.

"Pick the strongest
and most trustworthy person

"to cross the old bridge first,
but choose wisely,

because with this power comes
a great responsibility."

-SHWETA: Oh, my gosh.
-GEOFF: Strongest
and most trustworthy.

-I like-- My gut wants...
-I kind of like Dusty or Geoff.

I think Geoff is, like,
on a roll today.

DENNIS:
Geoff, because
he's already leading.

GEOFF:
I'm comfortable doing

whatever is best for the team.

Geoff, Geoff, Geoff.

Oh, he's a great guy.

Love him to death,
but he is a threat.

I appreciate y'all
for trusting me with this.

(others assent)

NICK:
I'm probably gonna have
to get Geoff

out of this game
sooner rather than later,

because he definitely can
influence people.

You can see
he wants to be a leader.

So Geoff's definitely
on my radar.

PUNKIN:
Don't pick me second.

And don't pick--
but that's what I'm saying.

Don't pick you first either
to give it away?

Yeah, yeah,
don't pick me first after you.

-Got it, got it, got it...
-That-That's gonna be...

Got it. Cool.

And...

And I wouldn't lie to you.

GEOFF:
Dennis could actually
be gunning for me.

I thought he was one of my guys.

I thought he was
somebody I could trust.

Clearly not.

Wow.

All right, everybody good?

(others assent)

DENNIS:
I'm, like, super sketched out

of, like, the middle part,
where there's no planks.

I'm like, what are we
supposed to do there?

NICK:
I think you're gonna take
these boards

-and fill in the gaps.
-GEOFF: Build it.

-Okay. Yeah.
-Yeah.
-Yep.

Careful of the middle.

ROBERT:
All right, Geoff.

PATI:
Come on, Geoff. You got it.

AMY:
There you go, bud.
Good job, Geoff.

Atta baby. Atta baby.

GEOFF:
We know that this bridge

is very unstable, and

I'm not gonna trust the middle
'cause I just know

one of them is gonna snap.

Oh, yeah. We got this.

-BECKYLEE: Nice job, Geoff.
-DUSTY: Atta baby, Geoff.

AMY:
Watch that loose one,
babe, watch that loose one.

Oh, my God. I cannot
believe how wobbly this is.

I mean, he's, like,
really tilting. This is insane.

GEOFF: Every time I put
my weight on the left side,

the entire bridge
sways to the right.

Every time I put my foot
on the right side,

the entire bridge sways
to the left.

That makes it
very hard to balance,

plus keeping this
wood plank under my arm.

BECKYLEE:
Oh, this is a big,
this is a big step.

-Can you hook it?
-PUNKIN: With your feet.

DUSTY:
My man!

-BECKYLEE: Yeah!
-(all cheering)

-PATI: There you go.
-DUSTY: Atta baby.

-DENNIS:
That's why we picked you!
-(laughter)

AMY:
Geoff, you're more
than halfway, babe.

PUNKIN:
Good job, Geoff.

(engine powering up)

MANU:
The group has fallen behind.

Yesterday, on the obstacle,
they were given a tough decision

that should have quickened
their pace.

All in favor for bringing
Bo over, raise your hand.

MANU:
But they chose
empathy over the objective.

Now, to get them back on track,

the mountain's keeper
will force their hand.

PUNKIN:
Oh!

-NICK: Breathe.
-PUNKIN: Oh, my God.

-Is that the mountain keeper?
-Breathe, just breathe.

JEANNIE:
He's coming over here.

-No, no, no.
-What is this? What is that?

(all shouting)

PUNKIN:
The mountain keeper!
Be careful, Geoff!

The mountain keeper!

I'm just focused, I'm zoned in,
I'm super concentrated.

And out of nowhere,
the mountain's keeper comes

and flies right next to me.

The blades are about to hit me.

And the wind from the helicopter
is extremely strong.

-Hold on, Geoff!
-(group shouting)

-You got this.
-You got it, Geoff!

You got it, Geoff!

-Yeah!
-There you go.

-Nice.
-PATI: Come on.

-NICK: Come on.
-AMY: Deep breaths, Geoff.
Deep breaths.

(overlapping shouting)

(all cheering)

(applause)

-DUSTY: Nice.
-PUNKIN: Nice, Geoff.

PUNKIN:
They warned us at the beginning

that the mountain had eyes.

Put that plank down if you can.

JEANNIE:
Oh, my God!

-Put it down now?
-JEANNIE: I don't know.

If you, if you can.

PUNKIN:
Use it.

DUSTY:
You got it. You got it.

AMY: There you go.
Take your time, take your time.

-DUSTY: Atta baby.
-PUNKIN: There you go, Geoff!

DUSTY:
Easy.

AMY:
You're doing great, Geoff.

(contestants clamoring)

PUNKIN:
Okay, Geoff!

NICK:
Nice, Geoff.

AMY:
You're there!

DENNIS:
We picked a great leader!

-GEOFF: Yeah.
-Good job!
-Good job, buddy.

-PUNKIN: Yeah!
-(cheering)

BECKYLEE:
Yes, king!

-JEANNIE: Oh, my God.
-PUNKIN: No!

-Oh!
-JEANNIE: Helicopter.

BECKYLEE:
Uh-oh.

It's coming your way!

-NICK: Go get that!
-Geoff, go get it!

Go get the bag!

(all shouting, clamoring)

My heart just dropped.

Big bag, big responsibility.

All right.

"To make the summit on time,

"hard choices must be made.

"But while crossing
the gorge yesterday,

that was avoided."

"Not today."

"Choose the next person
to cross.

"When that person crosses,
they will choose the next.

"And so on.

When the last person
is crossing..."

Oh.

"When the last person is
crossing, use this axe

"to cut the support rope.

The bridge will break."

"Leaving that person behind,
along with their money.

The clock is ticking.
From the mountain's keeper."

Damn it.

Oh, my. He might have
to make a big decision.

He's got two options,

and both of them are bad.

That's what I think that is.

(wind whistling)

He's not looking happy.

I freaking hate this.

He looks like he's struggling.

JEANNIE:
Look at him. He's, like,

really distraught, man.

GEOFF:
Yo, you got to be kidding me.

JEANNIE:
We're not even seeing
what's inside

-of the bag.
-BO: No.

Here he comes. Here he comes.

BO:
Here he comes.

PUNKIN:
All right, Geoff.

All right, Dusty, come on over.

ROBERT:
What's going on?

SHWETA: Can you tell us
what's happening?

NICK:
What was in the bag?

ROBERT:
Okay.

Come on over, bro.

-JENNYE: All right, Dusty.
-GEOFF: I choose Dusty to go

after me because he's
somebody I can trust.

And I, as a leader,
wanted stronger team members

to lay the foundations
with more planks

being laid, making it easier
for those that follow.

Got it, big dog. Keep going.

DENNIS: So, I think I can
keep up with Geoff and Dusty.

I think

we're probably physically

the three strongest people

-on this mountain.
-Whoo!

-Nice job.
-JEANNIE: Oh, my God.

PUNKIN:
Grab your plank back if you can.

-JENNYE: There you go.
-NICK: Nice, nice job.

-Whoo!
-JEANNIE: Oh, my God.
-NICK: Nice job.

It's a lot harder
than I thought it would be.

AMY: You're more than halfway.
You're doing great.

JENNYE:
There you go.

Having to step so wide is rough.

I don't want
to risk falling through.

I mean, if Dusty's having
a hard time with that?

-Oh, my God, forget it.
-Am I gonna try that?

-I don't know.
-JEANNIE: Oh, God.
-Whew.

AMY:
Almost there, bud. Almost there.

Good job, Dusty.

DENNIS:
Attaboy, Dusty.

-AMY: Good job, Dusty.
-PUNKIN: There you go.

You did good.

This is what
I couldn't tell everybody

until they came over

one at a time.

Hey. How you feeling?

You know, it's just,
I just got a bad feeling.

With what?

DENNIS:
What they're talking about.

Like, I'm confident
with Geoff, like,

building that relationship,
but I'm not confident

-with Dusty.
-I know, but I think

because Geoff has

the responsibility,
it goes on him.

Yeah, definitely.

-Thank you.
-Yeah.

I have always been
a safe place for everybody.

I'm a barber in Beverly Hills.

And being a barber in L.A.

is not just cutting hair.

I'm like their little therapist.

It's showing up for people.

My whole life,
I've been that person.

And that's my strategy
for this game--

being that safe place--
because that's

the only way to get
somebody to trust you.

I'm so ready.

I wanted to take
on this challenge

to just prove to myself
that I could do it.

And this is a perfect time
because it's just,

all the puzzle pieces

have fallen into place,
and it's just, it...

it's exactly where I need to be.

I mean, they're still

going back and forth about it.

I think they're
gonna cut somebody.

Yeah.

And I think today is,

"Okay. Let me just show you
how serious this is."

We're not choosing
the actual person

who gets left behind,
but we are making the choice

of who does come over next,
securing their safety.

And everybody will know
the choice that we made.

DUSTY: Only some of us have what
it takes to reach the summit.

I would much rather
cut someone off

because they're a cancer
to the group

and they're causing problems.

I don't want this to turn

into us just cutting off

the weakest link
performance-wise.

But, unfortunately,
if we're too slow,

we're gonna have to make those,
those really hard calls.

-That's a voting thing.
-Yeah, yeah.

DENNIS: I'm pretty sneaky
when it comes to strategy.

So I want something right now

to just start some commotion.

So I need to deploy the plan

to pick apart Geoff

and Punkin for sure.

-THERRON: Oh, wow.
-Yeah.

I'm just still being
a little sneaky evil

right now, and I feel great.

(chuckles)
I hate saying that,

but I feel great.
(laughs)

Hey, Nick.

-Get over here.
-JENNYE: All right, Nick.

-JEANNIE: Yeah, Nick!
-JENNYE: You got it, Nick.

BO: So I was picked last
at the first obstacle.

You know,
I-I know I'm not going first,

but the concern comes back
in my head

that I may get picked
last again.

-AMY: You're doing great, bud.
-JENNYE: Good job, Nick.

-Ooh! Ooh! Ooh!
-(Nick groans)

AMY:
Hang on, hang on.

-You're good. You're good.
-There-- Yep, yep.

-(cheering, clamoring)
-ROBERT: What a save!

Great job, Nick.

-JEANNIE: All right, Nick.
-DENNIS: Attaboy.

-(cheering)
-Nice job.

Attaboy, attaboy, attaboy.

DUSTY:
Atta baby.

This has taken quite long

-with some
of our stronger people.
-JEANNIE: Yeah.

Yesterday it took us
a long time

to get through those hikes,
and we made it to camp.

But if we take too long here,
I don't know if we can.

PATI: The time pressure
is what's really getting

to everybody because we got
to still get to a checkpoint.

So...

you don't want to be the one

that's the slowest.

BECKYLEE:
Tucking it...

-Yeah.
-...allows you to go faster.

NICK:
That last gap ain't easy.

If we want
the whole group to make it,

I think we got
to strategize to make it

easier on every person
behind them.

I think the next two people
will have to carry a board.

-We also got to go fast.
We got time running out.
-We got to go.

This is one of the obstacles

where if you fall, you mess up,

that's causing more time
for the obstacle,

more time
for the rest of my team,

and just delaying
the entire day.

It's-it's up to you.

Therron.

(stammers) You know Therron
has a thing with heights,

so I don't know
if he is the best for this.

-I want to be here, but...
-I know.

You did so good today.

Thanks.

I would like to watch
a few more people.

Maybe a few more boards go down,

uh, so I can get across.

Y'all, we're running out
of time.

We got to get moving.

We need somebody
to carry a board.

-I'm gonna try as well.
-You sure?

I'll carry a board as well.

Therron, bring a board.
We have to have it.

BECKYLEE: I raised my hand
from the very beginning.

I know I can put a plank down.

And you decided to still

choose men, so I did

take offense to that.

And I did definitely make
a mental note.

The men should not be

counting the women out.

It's me versus the rope.

And you can kind of
see the ground.

Come on, T.

You got this.

BECKYLEE: All right, Therron,
show us how it's done.

DUSTY: Good, Therron,
slow down your breathing.

Guys, I can't. I don't
even have, like, the room.

I wish I could, like, I want to.

-We'll have enough boards.
-Yeah, don't worry.

-Don't worry about it.
-I wish I could take one.

AMY:
Shweta immediately says

she can't carry a plank.

And so she starts
having a meltdown.

But she hasn't had a lot
of empathy for anyone else.

She certainly did not feel
for Tony.

DUSTY:
Hey, guys, Tony's down.

SHWETA: I think maybe
Tony's taking a little break.

I think maybe he needs
a little water.

He needs a granola bar.

Do you want
to try taking the board?

I don't think I can.

-You're incredible.
-Like, I don't even know
if I could take one board.

-Like, how pathetic is that?
-It's okay.

PUNKIN:
Mm-hmm.

Dude, the-the crying.

Like, just stop
the crocodile tears.

Like, take a chill pill.

Just get over the damn bridge.

PATI:
Don't let it bother you. T.

GEOFF: Get your center back.
Yep, yep. Get your center back.

NICK: Good job, Therr.
Keep breathing. Keep breathing.

THERRON: It's so hard
to get out of your head

when all you're doing is facing
your fear day in and day out.

PATI:
Just relax! Relax!

JENNYE:
How is he still holding on?

THERRON: I truly do not know
if I'm gonna make it

to the top of this mountain.

(groans)

(wind whistling)

Way to trust your body.
You're good.

You're good. There you go.

THERRON:
I'm scared. I'm looking down.

I'm like,
"Don't look down. Look up."

DUSTY: Good job, Therron.
Keep breathing, keep breathing.

-Stay center.
-GEOFF: Yep, yep.

You're okay to be center.

THERRON:
I'm like, do I have time

to be afraid of heights
right now?

ROBERT:
Great pace!

(all cheering, clamoring)

JEANNIE:
Let's keep this up!

(shouting, cheering)

You did it, T!

Yeah!

You were the fastest one!

I have conquered heights
for now.

(laughs)

As the second
and third person comes over,

we know how it looks.

Let's get a girl over!

Who said they could
carry a board again?

-I can carry a board!
-I can carry two.

We need women over there.

It can't be a bro pack.

We need to break up
the good old boys club.

I'm gonna choose...

...Punkin!

-Oh...
-There you go. You got it.

I'm gonna try my best, y'all.

Come on, Punkin.

PUNKIN: I think one
of the biggest obstacles

in life is being

a black woman in
a white, male-dominated career.

When I came into the military,

I was talking
to one of the guys who was

higher-ranking than me
and was like,

"Hey, what, what are some good
bases to-to be stationed at?"

He looked at me and told me,
"Don't worry about it.

"You're not gonna be in
long enough

to go to any of these places."

Ended up outranking him.

-NICK: Nice, Punkin.
-GEOFF: Oh, yeah.
You're killing it, Punkin.

PUNKIN:
You tell me no,

that is going to fuel my fire.

Small but deadly.
Small but mighty.

I think that's all me.

(overlapping encouragements)

-NICK: Good. Breathe.
-GEOFF: Yeah, you feel it now.

Hey, hardest part is over.

PUNKIN:
I don't want anybody
to have predispositions

about me being in the military,
so I have not told anyone that.

I just told them
I work in logistics,

which is my job in the military,
and I just leave it at that.

-GEOFF: Good job,
good job. Good job.
-(others cheering)

-Great job, Punkin!
-Yeah!

I think if I'm underestimated
a little bit,

I won't be seen
as such a big threat.

And then I'll come in
with the sneak attack. (laughs)

GEOFF:
You're only in charge of

-the next person
that you call over.
-(groans)

-Yep.
-But, um, the last person
that doesn't make it,

I got to take an axe
and cut the rope.

-Oh.
-So somebody's not making it.

NICK:
Somebody's going home.

Waiting this long

is making me, like,
ugh, anxious.

You know? I want to be
on the other side already.

DUSTY:
Because time's an issue,

We have to prioritize boards

-to make sure
we can get across quick.
-Got it.

If I get called,
I'm-I'm taking two planks.

Dennis, I'm calling you over.

-Go, Dennis.
-(cheering)

PATI:
Come on, D.

With Dennis being comfortable

to bring over two boards,

that was, that was kind of
just a no-brainer.

DENNIS:
You got this. You got this.

*

Two boards is a lot harder
than it looks, guys.

Yeah, get rid of one.
You're wasting too much time.

-All right.
-ROBERT: Now get moving.

*

(bleep)

-BECKYLEE: No.
-GEOFF: Did he drop...?

-Oh!
-Dang.

I'm-I'm sorry, guys.

-Just get across.
-PUNKIN: Just go.

BECKYLEE:
Dennis was so vocal

that he would carry two boards

and he would do
our group so well.

He dropped both of the boards,

and he also took
one of the longest times.

JEANNIE:
God, we have to get going.

ROBERT:
Yeah, he's just got to move.

BECKYLEE:
'Cause he's wasting time now.

(overlapping agreements)

This really hurt us.
This one right here.

I'm sorry, guys.

Damn.

BECKYLEE:
I think it's funny that some of

the more confident guys
really struggled.

I'm very pro-woman,
so I would love

to break these macho guys
out of here.

DENNIS:
I'm calling Rob over!

-Yeah.
-BO: Yeah.

This isn't just
a bridge that's hard.

It's a bridge

that has some consequences.

Someone's gonna get cut,

and it feels wrong.

PUNKIN:
Wow, Rob, look at you.

BECKYLEE:
Look at you.
You look like a beast, baby.

-Yes!
-(overlapping agreements)

NICK:
It's a lose-lose.

We're not only gonna lose
someone from the group,

but we're also gonna
lose the money.

Becky, get suited up
and get ready.

PUNKIN:
Good job, Beckylee.

Great job.

-DUSTY: Good job, Becks.
-GEOFF: Becky!

Beckylee. Way to do it.
Way to do it.

BECKYLEE:
Jennye.

Let's do it. Come on over.

PUNKIN:
Good job, Jennye.

NICK:
You're killing it, Jennye.
You got it. Good job.

Middle's good. Middle's good.
Need that board.

Very nice.

-PUNKIN: There you go.
-NICK: You got it, Jennye.

-PUNKIN: Perfect, Jennye.
-BECKYLEE: Nice jump, girl.

Jennye, we got to fill you in.

JENNYE:
The mountain's keeper
of the previous day

gave us the opportunity to

"trim some fat," and we didn't,

and now it seems like
the mountain's keeper is

forcing us to trim the fat.

So I knew I was choosing Amy.

I know that she's been
at the back of the group.

so I thought
she might be in jeopardy.

They also know I have
a very strong personality,

and I'm gonna do
whatever I want to do.

Somebody's not making it.

-What?
-GEOFF: Yeah.

Their journey ends
at this obstacle.

ROBERT:
Shweta's not afraid,
I don't think.

I think she's afraid
of letting people down

by not carrying boards.

DENNIS:
I think also
Pati could carry the board.

Like, she's strong enough
to do that.

Who do we think
can for sure make it?

Ultimately, it's up to you.

AMY:
Shweta!

-We need you to be fast
and nimble.
-Okay.

Haven't had the most connection,
so I think

the reason I picked Shweta
was to build Shweta's confidence

and some loyalty in me.

ROBERT:
You got this.

One step. You got it.

Just keep those feet moving.

Not a problem.

It's just, it's just
a bridge you're walking across.

There you go. Find your footing.

-Just take that step.
-Rob, can--
Rob, just let me do it.

-ROBERT: Okay, sorry.
You got it.
-Thank you, though.

*

-BECKYLEE: Shweta!
-(clapping)

PUNKIN:
Good job, Shweta.

Three left.

I'm getting a little anxious
here.

The last person to go,

I have to cut the rope
while they're on the bridge.

Come on.

No, but... Guys,
I can't make this decision.

BECKYLEE:
I think
we should send Pati first.

-We agree on Pati that--
-Guys...

I'm dying to get
on the other side

and see what's going on,
that's for sure.

PATI:
The anxiety is insane,

and it doesn't matter
who you're cool with,

or what your strategies are,

or who you had dinner with
last night,

or cheers'd a beer with.

Like, this is a game.

Jeannie, I know you got this!

-Ah. Okay.
-You get it. You got it.

THERRON:
Let's go.

PUNKIN:
There you go.

THERRON:
Your kids are gonna be so proud.

Keep going, girl.

I just want to get up there
with you.

That's our goal.
That's our goal.

-(panting)
-AMY: Let's go, Jeannie.

-BO: Good job, Jeannie!
-JEANNIE: I can't believe it.

Not everybody is coming with us.

Somebody is not making it
past this bridge.

You choose who comes next,

and the last person will
then come,

but in the bag is an axe,

and I have to break the bridge.

I... Listen, Bo is my age,

and I know he wants this
just as bad as me.

PUNKIN:
I think he got a kick
in the butt yesterday.

-JEANNIE: Yep, yep. Yep.
-He's been, he's been
in the front all day today.

-And I just think that's worth
taking into consideration.
-GEOFF: Talking about.

JEANNIE:
But Pati, like,
I feel like she would be

-a great asset to this team.
-PUNKIN: Yeah.

*

Since I met you on day one,
you've never changed.

I appreciate that.

I appreciate that, B.

You don't,
you don't get that very often.

Pati!

Come on over, girl!

You got it. You got it.

And I know, you know,
when you get over there,

I know you're gonna be
waiting for me over there.

-100. Big old hug?
-(chuckles) Yes.

You got this, don't look down.

BO:
Doing good, Pati.

JEANNIE:
I picked Pati over Bo

because I knew Bo--
we saved him once.

We carried his backpack.

-(groans)
-Good job, Pati.

JEANNIE:
We saved him a second time,

and I felt like,
how many chances can you get?

-Yeah!
-BECKYLEE: Pull it. Let it fall.

(all cheering)

BO:
Way to go, Pati!

-Good, P. Good job, P.
-You got it.

-GEOFF: Remember
who you're doing this for!
-(groans)

You're almost there.

You got it!

PUNKIN:
Nice, Pati!

(cheering, whooping)

Way to go, Pati!

So, you know, we all called

whoever comes after us
over the bridge.

Um, and, you know, there had
to be someone last, that's Bo.

Good thing is,
you get to call him over.

Um, what sucks is,
there's an axe in here,

and as soon
as you call him over...

(cries):
No.

(voice breaking):
...I have to cut the rope.

(crying)

That-That's it for him.

(Pati crying)

I have to call him over?

I just talked to Bo, and...

he literally said,

"You better be that last one
to give me a hug at the end."

Come on, B!

Come on over, baby.

I'm coming for you, Pati.

*

(wind whistling)

-PATI: Come on, coach.
-ROBERT: You got it.

PATI:
Come on, Bo!

BO:
I got 13 of my best friends
over there on the other side,

and Bo's gonna give it
his damnedest

to get across this thing.

Keep the motivation.

-(overlapping cheering)
-All right, yeah. Come on, Bo!

-Come on.
-You have picked it up today.

I'm so proud of you, Bo!

(Pati crying)

You know I love you all.

OTHERS:
We love you, too, Bo.

JEANNIE:
Oh, my God.

-This part is horrible.
-PUNKIN: Come on, Bo.

-JENNYE: Let's go, Bo.
-PUNKIN: Let's go, Bo!

DUSTY:
Come on, boss.

(panting)

One step at a time.

DUSTY:
Love you, boss.

We love you, Bo!

*

GEOFF:
Sorry, Bo.

We didn't,
we didn't have a choice.

-None of us wanted it, Bo.
-(crying)

And you proved yourself today,
man.

I'm gonna make it to the top
for you, baby.

I'm so proud of you!

(crying):
Him not knowing

and then him just falling.

This is so messed up.

THERRON:
All the tears let loose

because that man is
such a good man.

And not only did we lose Bo,
we lost his money.

And having one less person
may make the group faster.

JEANNIE:
Let's get to camp, guys.
Come on.

THERRON:
But I would have rather

someone got voted out
at a checkpoint.

The mountain's keeper is
giving us a message.

Everybody's not gonna make
this journey,

so we need to stop
being so kumbaya.

*

BO:
I-I got a lot of
emotions going on.

Uh, tried to hang in there
as long as I could.

(voice breaking):
I learned
how complete strangers...

...can be some of
your ultimate friends.

I'm proud of myself
for not quitting.

Uh, I took on the challenge.

So at the end,
I know I did my best.

MANU:
Now it's down to 13 people

and just over $870,000
left in their packs.

The group still has five miles
of a near-vertical climb

in order to reach the warmth and
comfort of a checkpoint camp.

But should they make it,

an elimination vote
waits for them.

-(thunder rumbles)
-And right now
they're not only racing

against the 14-day deadline

to reach the summit
but also the weather.

(thunder rumbling)

*

-Whoa. (groans)
-You got this.

AMY:
I think the mountain's keeper

forced our hand today
as a group.

I hate this.

AMY:
It was terrible letting Bo go.

That was rough,

but we're checking the sun

and we know we need
to make checkpoint tonight.

Okay, you go.

And we can move quicker now,

but if we're really saying
Bo held us up,

I know now I've got
to move my feet quicker

because now I'm two and three
from the back,

so I don't want
my name to be called next.

JEANNIE:
I cannot believe
how steep this is.

-It's very steep up here.
-(panting)

DENNIS:
Good stuff. Way to go, guys.

You, too.

I've started to notice
alliances forming.

I know that Geoff and Punkin
are an alliance.

Right behind you.

Myself, Nick and Shweta
are an alliance.

And then Therron is playing
the middle as of right now.

He's trying to figure out
which side he wants to play on.

Move fast and you won't sink.

Aah! Nick just hit me
in the face with a tree.

I appreciate it.
I'll remember it.

My motto is,
"Team Therron or die."

So, you're either with me
or you're against me.

SHWETA:
That's how I felt yesterday.

THERRON:
Wait, did I hit you with a tree?

SHWETA:
Yes. Remember?

THERRON:
Oh. Whoops. Just kidding.

I am a server, but if I wasn't

serving at a restaurant,

I'd be working at
a board game company.

I love board games
with my whole soul.

I'm a nerd.

I've always been
the black sheep--

no pun intended--
the black sheep

of the family.
'Cause we are Black.

But I've played so many games,

and I know so many strategies
to different types of games,

so I'm going to be able
to outthink everybody.

Who made this path?

I'm gonna be
a thief in the night.

Golly.

(thunder rumbles)

GEOFF:
If anybody needs
a hand on this one...

-ROBERT: Push?
-Yeah.

Not graceful.

But it's doing the job.

-GEOFF: Nice.
-JENNYE: Tummy and roll.

ROBERT:
Now, I got your back.

I'm gonna push, okay?

-One, two, three.
-Boom.

Easy. Go, roll.

-AMY: Thanks, babe.
-I got you. Yep, yep.

AMY:
Geoff and I are tightly aligned

as best we can on day three.

And I'm thinking, hey,
I got strongman on my side.

This is what I need.

-NICK: Oh, yeah.
-ROBERT: Nice.

AMY:
It's gonna take
someone like Geoff

to help most of us
get up that mountain.

Geoff definitely
is that helping hand.

Guys, this sucks. I'm not up.

-ROBERT: No, it's okay.
GEOFF: There you go.

-Ooh.
-Thank you.

GEOFF:
Good. That's everybody.

-JENNYE: Are we running late?
-GEOFF: I think we all know

we're a little bit behind,
so if there's

any type of shortcut
that we can take,

maybe if we get wet,
maybe if we get dirty,

do we feel that
that's worth making camp?

Yeah, we gotta remember
the food and what we get.

DUSTY:
Just make sure tomorrow's

a manageable day.
Just think about tomorrow

being easier,
and it'll help today a lot.

-JEANNIE: Yeah, let's go.
-I like it.

I like it, Dusty.

NICK:
Geoff, go ahead, lead the group.

You're putting
a big target on your back,

which is perfect for me.

GEOFF:
Gonna have to duck
real low up here.

AMY:
Oh!

No! No!

GEOFF:
What happened?

(shouts)

NICK:
Right now, my goal
is to lay low.

There's really only one alpha
in the group, and it's me.

I'm just waiting
on the right time.

I grew up in Louisiana,

where sports is everything.

I have played sports
since I could walk.

I played baseball
in high school,

and then I went on
to play, uh, college baseball.

Safe.

Whoo! Come on!

Unfortunately,

I've had a desk job
for the past five years.

I haven't played any sports,

competed in
anything athletically.

So, I knew coming in that

this was my shot,

and my plan is to play this game

aggressive and super calculated.
I don't want to get

too much blood on my hands,
so I kind of want to

do a little puppet stringing
when I can, so... Uh...

But I'm definitely
coming to win.

GEOFF:
Super steep coming up.

JEANNIE:
Climbing up and up,
struggling to breathe.

This is so hard.
Totally exhausted.

(grunts)

JEANNIE:
The backpack, I swear,

I think it weighs, like,
60 pounds.

But you still got
two more miles to go.

PATI:
Let's go, Punkin.

PUNKIN:
I don't have anything to grab.

(Punkin shouts)

JENNYE:
Give her some space, hon.
Becky, give her some space.

DUSTY:
Whether it's already happened

or going to happen
in the future,

people are going to know that

physically,
I can handle any of this.

THERRON:
Everybody good back there?

DUSTY:
Frankly, we do have folks
slowing us down.

I thought that Pati had been
really slow up to this point.

-THERRON: Y'all got this.
-(grunts)

DUSTY:
I'm feeling that Amy
is little bit too slow.

JEANNIE:
Come on, Amy.

DUSTY:
Getting rid of one of our

weakest links will
help the group as a whole.

And, honestly,
it'll prevent one person

from having another hard day
tomorrow, and instead,

they could go back

-and sleep in a normal bed.
-PATI: It's slippery.

JENNYE:
Guys, give each other space.

-DENNIS: My God.
-JENNYE: Guys, slow down.
Slow down.

DENNIS:
This is not getting
any easier, right?

JENNYE:
Careful, debris.

(grunts)

(wind whistling)

AMY: Dusty?
Dusty, can I get a hand?

DUSTY:
Y'all good?

AMY:
Thanks.

(Geoff hoots)

-We're here?
-We're here!

DENNIS:
Good job, guys.

-It's it.
-AMY: We're here!

(cheering)

-GEOFF: Yep, yep, yep.
-DENNIS: Come on!

GEOFF:
And the fire's going.

Oh, we got chips!
(laughs) We got chips!

We got Doritos!

THERRON:
We got margaritas?

-AMY: Wait, there's margaritas?
-PATI: Yeah, margarita.

JEANNIE:
Chips!

-NICK: Let's go.
-DUSTY: Oh, we got

a little taco stand here.

JEANNIE:
Tacos!

We're living the dream!

-Give me a hug. (laughs)
-(shouts)

(laughter)

JEANNIE: I made it!

THERRON: Give me a cup.
I want a margarita.

We should probably get
our bags in and make a plan.

I don't know if this rain's
going to get harder or...

PUNKIN:
Today was a tough day,
but I'm feeling good.

I think the decisions
coming forward

-are only going to get tougher.
-GEOFF: Absolutely.

The thought of having to vote
someone else out tonight,

that one's going to be tough.

It's going to be intense.

We've already lost two people's
money at this point,

and we definitely want to have
as much money as possible

at the summit for however
many people make it to the top.

Now, I need to go start
getting my ear down to see,

figure out a name

and see what's going
to happen tonight.

Uh, wow.

JEANNIE:
We gotta make all of this.
There's a lot of people.

I haven't heard any names.
Not yet.

No, I... I didn't think about it
until we got up here.

And I'm going,
"Oh, crap. We're gonna have to

-start thinking pretty quick."
-Yeah.

The only thing I could think is,

we've had
no problem with Shweta,

but she's just been
kind of negative.

So, if we just played
the attitude game and said,

who's got, possibly,
in the future,

the most harmful attitude,
it could be Shweta.

I don't--
I don't question Amy's attitude.

Amy's attitude's great.

Pati's, she's energetic,
and she's at least motivated.

Um, what are you thinking?

NICK:
Here's the problem, dude.

I truly-- I've said this
a couple times--

I truly do want as many people
to finish as possible.

Yeah. Me, too.

-Yeah, just to keep the pace.
-You know?

We're starting to figure out,
okay, time out.

When we get to checkpoints,

it's a huge celebration,
but we have the chance

to steal someone's money.

Robbie Rob.

But because it's an open vote,

everyone is terrified
to be the one person

who strays from the group.

Everyone wants to make sure that

they're with the majority,

and making sure
they don't accidentally

cast a vote
for someone who stays.

Kia Ora.

Just in time for dinner.

Well, welcome
to checkpoint camp...

number two for you guys.

-How's everyone feeling?
-Good.

Why don't we take a seat, yeah?

JEANNIE:
Oh, can I sit with you guys--

MANU:
You're gonna have
plenty of time to chitchat.

So, you've made
your checkpoint camp

barely in time,
and currently, at this pace,

I have to warn you,

you're still not gonna
reach the summit.

And I guarantee you,

from here on in,
the ascent of the summit,

it's gonna be a lot steeper,

it's gonna be a lot colder,

and it's gonna be a lot harder.

So, whatever it is
that's slowing you down,

you need to consider

when you make
your next decisions.

'Cause if you don't get
to the top in time,

you're gonna have carried
all of your cash for nothing.

And as you've seen today,
the mountain's keeper

is always tracking you.

-Mm-hmm.
-Yep.

MANU:
Today, the mountain's keeper

demanded a sacrifice.

And as you know, Geoff,

what the mountain keeper wants,
she gets.

So, you lost Bo today.

PUNKIN:
Yeah.

MANU:
How do you feel about that?

PATI:
That was tough.

JEANNIE:
Yeah, it was tough.

NICK:
Bittersweet feelings about it.

I think we're happy that, uh,

he was able to not quit.

He told us time and time again
he was not going to quit, and...

-AMY: He didn't quit.
-...he didn't quit.

PATI:
That was hard,

but I don't think
that he would want anybody

to feel any type of way

because that's just who he is.

So, we made the right decision.

MANU:
Well, guys, you've reached

another one of
your checkpoint camps,

so, tonight, you're going
to get the opportunity again

to steal someone's money...

...by voting them
off the mountain.

I'm gonna give you some time
to make your decision.

I'll be back.

THERRON:
I... do not know
who's going home tonight.

-Well, I like what Punkin said.
-GEOFF: WE got a lot of
conversations to have.

-I think smaller.
-Talk. Yeah.

BECKYLEE:
Let's take a breather.

We need to chat, though.

*

Like, now, tonight,
where it's gonna get

very tricky because,

unfortunately,
the obvious people

have gone home, right?

This is the first night
where we all love each other.

We all did great today.
So who the hell is going?

What's gonna be
most important in here?

Is it gonna be people who have
heart and who pull through?

Is it gonna be people
who can go fast?

Is it gonna be--
Are those gonna be threats?

People who are likable?

I don't want to have them

up there with me. I don't know.

DENNIS:
That's the scary thing.

Like, the most likable people
are the scariest people.

So, that's me.

(laughs)

ROBERT:
Geoff is, like,
one of the kindest,

sweetest, most beautiful
human beings I know,

and I've met,
and he's got beast mode on.

He's got strong, he's got heart,

and people are like, well,
what if, in the end, it goes to

a likable player?
He is more likeable than me.

Uh, and I think
that scares people.

DENNIS:
The physical threats
in the games

are people
people watch out for, you know?

When do these-- have these
conversations come up?

No. I mean, I'm not saying
people have had a conversation.

But I'm saying, like,
people look at you as

a great leader,
but they also are like,

damn, like, he is someone that
could potentially take my money.

Why are we in this
"me versus you" mentality?

Where is--
Why are people stuck in that?

I'm just, I'm just thinking
that, like, bigger picture.

This is a guy
we need to look out for

because he might be the one

that offs us on this mountain.

I would hate for
the people that are weaker,

that are like,
"Hey, like, why don't we

get a good chance to just
get Geoff out right now?"

He kind of

set the target on his back.

I like you enough, and I really,

actually, I could see you being
one of my childhood friends.

You're like my sleepover buddy.

-I don't know
if you could say that
-Sleepover buddy.

You're like
a sleepover friend, dude.

Like, I'm being serious, like...

It's just who you
really trust out here,

at the end of the day.

GEOFF: I'm picking
and pulling the people

who I can and cannot trust,

and I-I study people.

And I know the signs
to look for.

-Yeah.
-And that'll tell me everything

-that I need to know.
-Yeah.

DENNIS:
Someone's about to go home,

and someone's not gonna
be happy going home.

But being able to potentially

make more money in this game

is only gonna get me
to be more evil.

(wind whistling)

(wind whistling)

-GEOFF: Yeah.
-PUNKIN: Who?

Shweta. She's so fake to me.

Like, every conversation I have
with her, it's not genuine.

-NICK: She's so what?
-PUNKIN: Fake.

Fake.

BECKYLEE: Especially at
the challenge today.

Like, that was, like, my,

"Okay, I cannot do
another night with her."

-You're incredible.
-I don't even know if I
could take one board.

-Like, how pathetic is that?
-It's okay.

BECKYLEE:
I do want to get
to the end with women,

but Shweta is in
with a lot of the men,

so I want Shweta out, tonight.

You guys said that you
found her not to be...

-Genuine.
-Correct.
-...genuine at all.

PUNKIN: Every conversation
I've had with her

has just been very,
like, pointed.

Like, she knows exactly
what to say, when to say it.

BECKYLEE:
She would turn on me,

and she could rally the numbers
with the men,

because she's clearly
working with people

like Dennis and Nick.

Do you not get
those same vibes from, like,

Rob or anybody like that?

-PUNKIN: I don't.
-BECKYLEE: No, not yet.

THERRON:
I'm working with Shweta.

That's a number for me.

She's never gonna say my name.
What is happening?

What am I doing? Where do I go?

Who do I talk to? How did
this happen? What changed?

Y'all can do what y'all want.

I don't know if that's
the way my vote is,

but maybe that's because
I just feel like I have

-a better relationship
with her.
-Yeah.

-BECKYLEE: That's fine.
-That's okay.

But maybe I'm just
not seeing that.

Did I get a bad read on someone

that I like?

SHWETA:
Last night, I think
some people thought

that I ran that vote,

and those people
would be very smart,

because that's exactly
what happened.

Like, would you rather
have somebody

who can't carry their own weight

or have somebody
who's bringing us all down?

Rose is bringing down the mood,

bringing down the mood.

SHWETA:
But tonight, I think
it's really smart

to lay under the radar.

So my plan is
to go with the majority

and not give too much input.

(thunder rumbles)

-Jeannie, what are you hearing?
-Well, I don't know.

Dennis was saying Punkin
and, uh, Geoff are very close.

PUNKIN:
I don't have no beef
with Dennis...

-Mm-hmm.
-...but you're my number one.

Relationships are
definitely important to me,

and 1000% I trust Geoff,
and I know he has my back,

so I'm gonna do the same
and have his back.

GEOFF:
When I was just over there,
it was just first me and Dennis,

and I just wanted to see

if any authenticity
would come through...

-PUNKIN: Mm-hmm.
-...and it didn't.

He is playing his role.

Who do I really want to trust?
Who do I really want

to go to the summit with me?

He's like, "To be honest,
Geoff, you're a threat.

And some people
might see that, and--"

-PUNKIN: And it's him.
-Yeah.

GEOFF:
The only person
who would be next to go

is the only person
who's giving me a reason,

and that's Dennis.

-Let me just talk about this.
-Yeah.

-Let's just be honest,
me and you.
-Yeah.

-The slowest.
-Yeah, we're in the back.

Me, you and Jeannie.

We can't pick off
the slow people one by one

because there was a lot
of fight and a lot of heart

that went into
what we did today.

And I think sometimes
people who struggle the most

show they have the most heart.

Now that Bo is gone,
I don't know who the target is.

We just can't pick off
the slowest players,

because if that's what we do,

then...

my days are numbered.

-I just don't want
to be blindsided.
-No.

-So, if you hear my name--
-Listen, I will--

Because I'm gonna
campaign for myself.

Look, y-you're not going home.
Listen to me.

-(crying): I fought my ass
off to be here.
-Shh.

Really hope it's not me tonight.

*

Okay, guys,
you made your decision?

ROBERT:
You know, it's beyond hard.

Everyone's talking
what is the best mechanism?

What's the best measurement
of how to make this vote

when we don't know so much
of what the future holds?

And so there's a lot
of conversations going on.

So what names are coming up
right now?

Shweta.

MANU:
Shweta.

Why do you think your name
is being thrown around?

I think one of the strengths
that I bring to the table

is that I'm a strategist,

and I think that maybe people
don't trust that.

So you feel a target
on your back?

I didn't realize that that was
the game that we were playing.

Like, I thought we were
getting to the summit,

and whoever gets to the top
together splits the money.

And I thought
I was bringing skills

that would help us
get to the top.

I just think some people feel

there hasn't been
some genuineness,

and I-I think that
we all have seen some,

and then we haven't.
And then there's, like...

Like a little bit of a switch
where some people

just maybe feel
some type of way.

I disagree with some of that.

But also, we're all seeing
different things

in different people.

We have different relationships
with everybody out here.

SHWETA:
I think the frustrating
part of this

is that what might be happening
is there might be

two or three really loud voices,

and everybody else just
wants there to be a majority

or a consensus so badly.

Punkin, did you nominate Shweta?

I was not the first person
that said Shweta, but...

-SHWETA: Who was?
-It don't matter, really.

I mean, it matters to me.

You're saying
I'm the loud voice,

and honestly, it wasn't me
that even first mentioned--

I-I wasn't referencing
you as the loud voice.

I just said there was
a couple of conversations

-probably that are
swinging things, but...
-PUNKIN: Yeah.

So what other names?

Jeannie, do you
have a second name?

Well, as I was just
talking to everybody,

two people really just said
a couple different names.

I think Geoff
got brought up once.

PUNKIN:
That's good to know.

Who threw Geoff's name around?

I haven't heard Geoff's name
specifically at all.

You've done well with some
of these physical challenges,

but that can rub people
the wrong way.

Like, that could be
intimidating. And I get it.

MANU:
Go back to everybody's reason...

...for being on this mountain.

Have a think about that

when you make
this next decision.

So, put your hand up

if you'd like to vote
Geoff off the mountain.

Geoff, you're safe.

Put your hand up
if you'd like to vote

Shweta off the mountain.

(sighs)

MANU:
12 votes.

Look, guys, you made the call
you needed to make,

but I'm looking around,

and I have some friends
who voted me out

because they don't want
to say another name.

And so I also hope
that you play your own game.

I hope you each say the name
that's best for you,

and you don't just come
to a consensus that's easy.

Go and grab your bag,
bring your money out,

give it to the group
and say goodbye.

Okay. (clears throat)

Shweta, thanks for coming
to New Zealand.

Thanks for having me, guys.

Really good luck.

I really want to see
you guys up there.

THERRON:
I think this game

is forcing us to make
some really hard decisions

and people that
I consider allies

I'm gonna have to figure out

who's at the bottom
of the totem pole.

Right now, it is a numbers game,

and I know Shweta
did not have the numbers.

Hey, you are strong.

This is not how
I wanted my journey to end.

I didn't make my summit,

and I got kicked off
unanimously by all my friends.

Bye, Shweta, we love you.

-BECKYLEE: Bye, Shweta.
-Love you, guys.

They voted off somebody
who was smart,

who was strategic,
who was loyal,

and who was killing it
in these hikes.

Let's see how
they do without me.

(indistinct chatter)

You got to, like,
make the connections.

She didn't.

ROBERT:
Two bundles?

BECKYLEE:
Shweta is out, and now
I have $72,000 in my backpack.

-There is strategy going on.
-AMY: This is the game, though.

This is clearly gonna become,
and already is, a numbers game.

And we're gonna get to a point

where we're gonna be
a split group,

and you need numbers
on your side

to ensure
that you don't go home.

MANU:
This mountain is going
to test you like never before.

PATI:
This is insane.

-(grunts)
-DUSTY: We are supposed to get
up to the summit in 14 days.

Amy and Pati have
been slowing us down.

"Who is struggling? What is
best for the group as a whole?"

Ask these questions
and you'll find your answers.

I'm scared.

JEANNIE:
The mountain keeper, she's
kind of telling us, listen,

-you're doomed.
-We have to go up that?

JEANNIE:
That is the longest ladder

I've ever seen
in my entire life.

-(whimpering)

-JEANNIE: Oh, my God.
