MANU BENNETT: 16 everyday Americans began this adventure.

Welcome to Aotearoa, New Zealand.

BECKYLEE: This is the most beautiful location

I have ever seen in my life.

MANU: They started with an equal share

of $1 million on their backs...

That's crazy.

...and just one objective...

-(grunts) -...to reach the summit

in 14 days.

Oh, God.

Honey, that is a big (bleep) mountain. (laughs)

(groans)

MANU: The mountain has already pushed

some to their limits...

DUSTIN: Hey, guys. Tony's out.

AMY: Bye, Tony.

MANU: ...and sent its keeper

to hold watch.

This mountain has eyes.

-Whoa. -GEOFF: The mountain's keeper

is gonna determine if we're worthy.

-AMY: Deep breath! -Whoa, whoa, whoa.

MANU: When someone slowed the group down...

GEOFF: "When the last person is crossing,

you use this axe to cut the support rope."

MANU: ...they were forced to cut them loose...

PUNKIN: We love you, Bo!

...their money lost from the prize pot.

GEOFF: Sorry, Bo.

-We didn't have a choice. -(crying)

Everybody's not gonna make this journey.

MANU: Once they made it to checkpoint camp,

the battle really began.

Tonight you're going to steal someone's money.

Lines were drawn.

Currently, at this pace,

you're still not going to reach the summit.

If you don't get to the top in time,

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

Sides were taken.

DENNIS: Geoff is by far the scariest

physical threat on this mountain.

It would be smart

to get him out.

I want Shweta out. Tonight.

She would betray me if given the chance.

Put your hand up if you'd like to vote Geoff

off the mountain.

Okay. Put your hand up if you'd like to vote

Shweta off the mountain.

MANU: With another member's cash stolen,

the remaining backpacks just got heavier.

BECKYLEE: We get to kick somebody off,

I get closer to the end, and we get to keep their money?

That's a win-win for me.

MANU: Tonight...

-AMY: Look at that over there. -DUSTY: Yeah.

AMY: Isn't that gorgeous?

I just wish I had my phone.

I want to be able to show my family.

MANU: ...12 remain,

carrying over $870,000.

But this mountain will continue to be relentless...

How am I supposed to do this?

...as the group faces

adversity at every turn.

Please, God.

-JENNYE: No! -(others groaning)

Come on.

If you want food tonight, raise your hand.

(indistinct chatter)

(sighs)

Hey.

(pats back)

It wasn't one of us.

She, she was just playing too strong.

Yeah, you could tell.

She's on the hunt.

THERRON: I actually really liked Shweta.

I thought we were getting along perfectly, and I truly thought

she was gonna make it farther in this game.

You got to, like, make the connections.

She didn't.

DENNIS: Oh, Shweta, Shweta, Shweta.

Ooh. Mean things

come in tiny packages, let me tell you.

And if there was someone out here...

(fly buzzes)

I just ate a fly.

(spitting)

(laughing): Oh, my God. That is gross.

Ew!

This is the time for the game to start getting played,

and I think we have to figure out

who are the people we want to trust.

GEOFF: Yeah.

And feelings are going to get hurt,

and there's going to be awkwardness

-in tents, at camping. -Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

But it's what it is.

I definitely didn't want to see Shweta go.

Uh, that wasn't the plan.

(sighs)

You know, Shweta was a vote in my direction.

Listen, I see a lot going on right now,

and there's some alliances being made.

Uh...

a lot of my game right now

is going to rely on:

I-I got to make some plays.

(laughs) That was fun.

Shweta's departure is

the first time I feel super confident

in this game, because Shweta was not on anyone's mind

until I said it, until I got the group together

or got my numbers together to get her out.

What you on, El Jefe?

Oh, I'm trying to get in my tent,

but they're having a private conversation.

DENNIS: Why don't we have a private conversation?

GEOFF: Yo, let's do it.

There's one person that I do not trust,

and that's Dennis.

DENNIS: I'm your second in command, you're the boss.

(laughs)

GEOFF: I thought Dennis was my guy,

but this man is playing his part,

with regards to me,

"Geoff, buddy, buddy. I got you.

We could work together. Cool."

He's been doing that with so many other people,

and then, with me,

he's been turning around and telling other people,

"What if we got Geoff out?

He's a big threat."

Late last night...

-Mm-hmm? -...Dennis was like,

"We should try to... try to get out the big guys."

He threw out your name.

This man is doing way too much, he's spiraling out of control,

and it's gonna blow up in his face

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

We're not as athletic as you,

but I would never vote you out,

is what I'm saying. I would never be that person to be like,

"Let's get Geoff out 'cause he's a physical threat."

AMY: Okay, I'm old. Going to bed.

Good night, guys. Good night, everyone.

Good night.

*

Look, Ma, I'm camping.

You slept all right?

AMY: I did okay, and I don't want Geoff to feel bad,

but he got in a really comfy, cozy position...

-Snored his ass off? -I mean, it was so bad.

It's one thing to sleep next to

my husband who snores,

that I love him, but, ooh, wow.

Bro.

-Sis. -We got to talk about it.

-No, we don't. -AMY: You got to put

a mouth guard in or something.

-(imitates snoring) -(Geoff laughs)

I was like, oh, my God.

He better be glad I love him.

(chuckles)

I was happy you were getting good sleep.

Geoff and I are tightly aligned.

I got my social game, but I need someone

to help me with my physical game,

and Geoff definitely is that helping hand.

I mean, it was so loud, the whole tent rattled.

(laughter)

PUNKIN: Y'all ready for day four?

-(group cheering) -Whoo!

This stays between us...

Mmm.

...but I think

there is some worry about

the stronger guys, like,

banding together,

you know what I mean?

-I got it. -So, just don't...

totally associate yourself

-with that. -Okay, okay.

I'm on that train.

No one would see this coming.

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

7:00 a.m., out there, I'm planting my seeds,

I'm watering them.

-(laughs) -BECKYLEE: Listen,

I keep hearing all day,

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

Like, "You're a sweetheart." And it's the smile,

I'm telling you. But if you told my family,

"Oh, you're so sweet," they'd be like, "Who?"

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

GEOFF: It'll be a good day.

-DUSTY: You guys ready? -AMY: Yeah.

We're staying up high, so, altitude, a lot of you guys

are gonna feel it. Don't be surprised.

-AMY: All right, Dusty. -All right.

-Dusty's up front. Let's go. -JEANNIE: Yeah, Dusty.

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

DUSTY: Big day today.

MANU: The group is now setting out

on their toughest trek to date.

The terrain and elevation

put the next checkpoint camp

a two-day hike away,

so they'll have to pit-stop for the night

at a bivvy camp,

which provides basic necessities and food.

The next day, they'll be traversing

many more rugged miles before

finally reaching the comfort

of their third checkpoint camp.

DUSTY: This one's gonna be a little steep right here.

ROBERT: This is gonna be kind of a wake-up call today.

My legs are on fire, dude.

This mountain is kicking my ass.

(grunts) Incline's killing us right now.

ROBERT: This is, uh, this is kind of brutal, to be honest.

-Ooh! -Oh, you good? You good?

-Yeah. Oh, my God. -Got you.

This is much harder than I thought.

I don't want to hold you back. (grunts)

GEOFF: We're walking up

this steep incline. I'm talking, we got to use

our hands and our feet, grabbing at everything,

grabbing at roots,

grabbing at plants,

grabbing on anything we can

just to get up this hill.

AMY: Careful, careful. Lots of rocks.

-ROBERT: This rock is, like, crumbling. -AMY: Jennye, careful.

Oh, it's making me slide forward.

AMY: Guys, the rocks aren't steady.

(grunting)

PUNKIN: How you doing, Pati?

This is insane.

I am from Los Angeles,

and, like, I'm not an outdoorsy person,

but I feel like I'm playing a very good social game,

being able to connect with people.

Physically, I'm just pushing.

So, pace and keep going.

(panting)

-PUNKIN: How you doing, Pati? -I'm good.

I'm so good.

-Rob, are you there? -I'm right here.

Okay. Three, two, one. (shouts)

I have never in my life seen mountains like this.

(Amy panting)

I live in South Carolina.

I don't know if you know a lot about that.

This is the terrain.

I don't know what incline this is,

but I remember math,

so this is 90. What is that, 50?

It's a 50% incline.

(grunting)

Really steep, guys.

Geez.

-That's insane. -Oh, my God.

Yeah.

AMY: One, two, three.

Our backpacks are already heavy.

I'm carrying more than

$72,000 cash.

(panting)

I just keep my face down,

I have my little walking stick.

Rob, is this the way?

ROBERT: Uh, up? Yes.

MANU: As the group struggles with this arduous trek...

...the mountain's keeper has taken notice.

She's been observing the group's pace

and is now prepared to make a proposition.

You guys.

AMY: Is that the mountain keeper?

PUNKIN: It's the mountain keeper!

DUSTY: The mountain's keeper showing up,

that's a warning in some capacity.

Amy and Pati have been slowing us down.

We are supposed to get up to the summit in 14 days.

They're a little bit of an anchor

that we're dragging up the hill.

Which we'll see

if it comes back to bite us.

PUNKIN: I don't know what's about to happen,

but every time she's come,

it has not been nothing good.

-Is it a bag? -DUSTIN: Yep.

(group exclaims) -AMY: I see something yellow.

-DENNIS: There it goes. -PATI: No way.

-No! -AMY: Oh, my God.

PUNKIN: She would not do that,

way down there.

No way.

THERRON: She drops a bag

99,000 yards away

from us down this hill, okay?

And I'm like,

ain't no way I'm going back down there for it.

AMY: We don't have to go back down there, do we?

-PUNKIN: We have to go get it. -BECKYLEE: I'll go get it.

I will not open the bag. I'll bring it up here.

We'll do it together. But I feel good, heart rate-wise.

-NICK: I feel good, too. -ROBERT: I feel fine, too.

-NICK: You want to go? -JENNYE: Rob,

Nick and Becky? That's cool.

-Yeah, go. -AMY: Watch your footing.

It's not worth getting hurt.

That's a long way down.

Immediately, I knew that

anybody but Geoff needs to get that bag

because he is my target.

So I kind of

stuck my neck out

and ran my little heart out

because I had a feeling

that he would have gone after it.

GEOFF: I don't think it's anything good.

I think it's something

that'll be bad for everybody

or something that'll be an advantage for those three.

Let's go this way, guys.

I have had conversations with Nick.

I've been feeling him out.

I think that him and I would work well together.

The thing is, Rob, I haven't had a chance to talk game with.

I'm pretty sure we're gonna start seeing a divide

at these next few votes.

NICK: So, if it divides, where are you?

ROBERT: There's nobody who, right now, I don't trust,

and that's horrible of me.

That's me probably not fully paying attention.

-BECKYLEE: Yeah. -NICK: You say right now

that you're good with everybody,

so, like, that's worrying to me.

If you need me to stop playing the middle

and (bleep) or get off the pot,

-and it's time, I'm ready. -Well, let's talk about that.

Because that is a game,

and it's a move.

NICK: What we're telling you right now is,

-we want you on the right side of the vote. -Yep. Yes, I know.

Heavy?

-(cheering) -That's amazing.

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

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

They're-they're being truthful to their word.

You guys are awesome.

-(cheering) -DENNIS: Let's get it.

PUNKIN: Let's see what's in it.

Who is it?

NICK: Get it, Beck.

BECKYLEE: "At your current pace,

you will not make the next camp before sunset."

"So, make an offer.

"Two struggling members of your group

"can hitch a ride on a helicopter to the next camp,

"practically ensuring that the rest of the group

"will make it on time.

"But as you know,

"everything comes at a cost

"on this mountain.

"If you accept this deal,

tonight there will be no food."

DUSTY: Oh, my God.

"Who is struggling? Who could use a lift?

"What is best for the group as a whole?

"Ask these questions, and you'll find your answers.

"Ignite the enclosed flare if you want to accept the deal.

-The mountain's keeper." -Wow.

Pros versus cons of doing this, guys.

-DUSTY: Yes. -BECKYLEE: Yeah.

PUNKIN: Who feels like they need a ride?

GEOFF: Also, it's important to note,

it didn't say it's impossible that we're gonna make it.

It said "at your current pace."

DUSTY: Probably three hours coming up.

Do you think we can speed up from what we've done so far?

I have something to say.

I mean, I-I... it's the elephant in the room. It's fine.

I'm holding, and y'all are waiting for me,

and that's great, and it's been wonderful,

and I love the camaraderie.

My fear is that the two people she takes off

the mountain are gonna be the two people

you have to decide to vote off tonight.

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

For me, I know what this is,

and personally, I'm down to go

on the helicopter.

BECKYLEE: I think it could be

an opportunity for you guys

-to rest. -(overlapping agreements)

Rest, rejuvenate.

I genuinely do not think you are in danger from this.

I am somebody that doesn't want to target the slowest people,

so I would like for Pati and Amy

to rest and do better tomorrow

and not quit and then lose all my money.

I just don't want people to get there

when they're exhausted and starving,

and then regret the decision because there is

no food and you can't do anything about it.

This is probably our hardest day.

I would personally like to have food.

GEOFF: Isn't it one of the biggest amenities

of making the camp that food?

AMY: Yeah, yeah.

GEOFF: Oh, my goodness.

I'm losing muscle mass out here.

I'm hiking 10,000 miles,

racing against the clock every single day,

not getting as many calories as I need to get in,

and I'm dwindling.

* *

Let's all stay together

and let's make camp

and make sure that we get food.

We could absolutely make it.

Let's take a vote.

If you want food tonight...

raise your hand.

PUNKIN: This cliff stands between

you and the ridgeline.

-DUSTY: Oh, my God. -AMY: Oh, my God!

You all have another chance to steal somebody's money.

Who's it gonna be?

It's time to play Snakes and Ladders.

-JEANNIE: That was so selfish. -Oh.

(wind whistling)

* *

If you want food tonight, raise your hand.

(whispers): I don't know what to do.

GEOFF: If you want no food tonight

and we send them, raise your hand.

It's settled.

-JEANNIE: Do it, Rob. -ROBERT: Enjoy your ride.

(helicopter approaching)

PATI: When I heard we were gonna get a helicopter ride,

I was like, "Okay, cool, yeah, let me get in, we'll be fine."

Nobody told me that we were gonna be hooked on the side

with the door open,

hanging on for dear life.

It was terrifying.

BECKYLEE: All right, guys, we got to get a move on.

Let's go.

THERRON: And now we got a long trek.

DENNIS: We got a long hike, guys.

MANU: Another strenuous hike looms ahead for the group,

with an even higher elevation and unforgiving terrain.

Time will tell if the group's decision

to send Amy and Pati ahead to the camp causes regret

once the muscle aches and the hunger pangs set in.

PUNKIN: My legs are on fire.

DENNIS: God.

THERRON: Gosh, it's really kicking in that we got to walk.

-I want the helicopter ride. -DENNIS (laughs): Yeah.

AMY: The no food was a big deal

because they're making that trek

and they're gonna be hungry.

We've seen the twists and turns this game has taken us through,

and we saved Bo, and then Bo got

literally chopped off the bridge the next day.

What does this mean for me and Pati?

"Since you accepted the mountain keeper's offer,

"you do not have food tonight.

"Hope the ride was worth it.

"Stay warm.

Remember, every choice comes with a cost."

How you feeling?

They started making that trek and we didn't have to.

And I don't know if we're gonna see people

-switch tonight because they're... -Yeah.

-I mean, hanger is a thing. -Yeah.

AMY: I did what I thought was best for the team

because to get here tonight to at least have fire

is better than...

ending up somewhere else. So...

You don't think this choice we made,

you don't think this is gonna come back to bite us in the ass?

Yeah, I think there's gonna be a lot of conversation.

Yeah, I think there's a lot of conversation happening now.

BECKYLEE: This is no freakin' joke.

JEANNIE: Yeah, this is tough for me.

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

DENNIS: Take a second you guys need.

(groans)

-Ooh. This is sketchy. -ROBERT: We got some steep stuff,

so it's gonna be tricky here, so take a second.

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

NICK: Man, this is high, dude.

Pati and Amy weren't gonna make it.

BECKYLEE: Never. This is the right decision.

AMY: How long have we been here?

-PATI: Two hours. -I'm gonna build a fire.

AMY: If we can make a fire and make it comfortable for them

when they got here,

that's me doing what I could do in this moment.

-PATI: Is that them? -No way.

THERRON: Whoa, mama.

Let's get our asses over there.

-JENNYE: Yeah, I see the path. -PUNKIN: Yeah.

Ooh, there's lots of rocks here.

They're gonna be hungry and famished

when they get here, so...

it's gonna be easy to blame me and Pati.

Dusty.

Therron.

Tell us about your climb.

PUNKIN: It kicked my butt. That was a hard day.

DENNIS: Oh, God.

AMY: We're happy to do whatever we can help you do

to make your bivvy camp experience nice tonight.

You guys carried us today,

and so we would really like to help.

So please don't everybody say, "No, we're good."

I'm starving right now.

It is, it is, it is...

I'm exerting so much energy

just to keep in high spirits right now,

because we ain't got no food to eat tonight.

PUNKIN: That was a hard day.

-That was a hard day. -JENNYE: Real hard day.

BECKYLEE: (sighs) I'm taking my boots off.

MANU: Day four on the mountain is winding down.

Dusty's impressions, dude.

Have you not seen it? Oh, it's so great.

-(laughter) -(Australian accent): Nick,

do you think this was the right choice?

(laughter)

MANU: With no food tonight at the bivvy camp,

some are using the time to learn more about

the fellow members in their group.

When I was asked why I was here,

I said "My potential."

I read somewhere that people go through several evolutions

of themselves within their lifetimes.

I went through

the big lifestyle change and then I became

an athlete at the age of 33.

And now I'm almost 40, honey.

-Yeah. -And I've been doing, you know,

my Muay Thai, I do pole dancing, archery,

all these things that I was never capable of doing before.

* *

I started with fitness kickboxing,

which led to martial arts, MMA.

I teach Muay Thai, I have students,

and I am a combat sports judge and referee.

-(bell dings) -(audience cheers)

Just about any damn thing, I will try it,

just to make sure that I'm not missing out

on any aspect

that could be my potential.

When I am physically and mentally depleted,

I honestly think of the same thing every single time,

and it's my two cats Dante and Delilah,

and they're my children.

I love you! (laughs)

I love cats so much.

And all my students know it-- instead of Muay Thai,

they call me Meow Thai.

Now, that could also be my job.

I am a crazy cat lady

as a profession.

Like, it should say that under my--

like, you should change it from "combat"

-to, like, "crazy cat lady." -(cat meows)

'Cause that is-- I am a professional.

(laughs)

Now I'm at a plateau, so what is the next level?

What other challenge can I conquer

and come out the other side?

So, that is why I'm here.

JEANNIE: We're happy to have you here.

That's good.

ROBERT: I know it doesn't seem like it,

but doing stuff like this is hard for me.

Putting myself out there, being with people I don't know.

Like, I've been judged my whole life,

-Wow. -...of people thinking I can't do things.

JEANNIE: Yeah.

ROBERT: My dad wanted a sports player,

and out came this guy who's like... me.

-(laughter) -Uh... (laughs)

I was a dork-- I mean, I still am a dork--

(laughs): in junior high.

I was so different from everyone else.

I wasn't this manly guy-- I was into theater.

I just, I wasn't the norm, and i-it was rough.

But it's what got me into education.

I'm very passionate about, like, making sure that kids

found who they were.

Now my life is amazing. I'm an educator.

I've got kids, a wonderful wife.

There's not a dull day in my life.

This is just my next adventure,

and I am so excited to be a part of this journey.

If people don't accept me, that's not my problem.

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

JENNYE: Yep. (chuckles)

DENNIS: So, I'm just gonna let you guys know

I'm just really happy to be here.

I hate being vulnerable. Um...

That's just something I need to work on, and...

Everyone knows that I'm a nurse, and...

...I've given up a lot

for other people's families

and their loved ones.

But I feel like I haven't been there for my own family.

(crying)

People don't know this, but I can cry on command.

The money would mean a lot to me,

even to quit my job and see a lot of my family

I haven't seen in Korea.

Smoke helps a little bit, too,

to start up the tears, so...

I think people start

feeling bad for me, but I feel great.

-(sniffles) -GEOFF: I like that I'm getting to know Dennis

a little bit better and to know another side of him,

and it seems very genuine.

(exhales)

I'm sorry, guys.

GEOFF: But, uh...

it's still tough. Like, I want to trust him fully,

but there's a part of him where it's just like

he may turn on you.

(sniffles)

I hate crying.

(laughs)

* *

JEANNIE: Good morning.

-Good morning. -PUNKIN: Good morning.

Everybody woke up

without having food.

(scattered groans)

I desperately want to make it to the checkpoint today

after sleeping on the ground last night,

because checkpoints mean food,

and each checkpoint, somebody has to go home.

GEOFF: Same. Same.

PUNKIN: Me and Geoff bonded

from day one, and we've just continued

to build that friendship.

I've heard Dennis saying Geoff's name,

and Geoff's my number one, so if anything,

that's putting a target on Dennis's back,

and he's gonna be up out of here.

-DUSTY: You guys ready? -NICK: Let's do it.

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

DUSTY: Good job, crew.

NICK: Damn, it's definitely getting colder.

GEOFF: Rocks are moving up here.

AMY: Very slippery, guys.

Hey, guys, you got to straddle the prickly.

Just step on 'em.

It's day five. We didn't have any food yesterday.

It's taken all we have to do this.

(grunts)

Me and Pati, there's definitely some worry

starting to set in that if we don't step up soon

in front of the group, there's no way

that they're not gonna vote

one of us to go home tonight.

JEANNIE: This mountain's kicking my ass.

PATI: Yeah, but I'm fighting back, Jeannie.

JEANNIE: I know you are.

DENNIS: I'm so hungry.

The most annoying part is that Pati and Amy

are responsible for us not having any food,

and I need the calories right now, I need the energy.

-DUSTY: Ames, good? -AMY: Yeah, I'm good, babe.

-Thanks. -DUSTY: Oh!

AMY: What? What? What?

PUNKIN: Oof.

We have to go up that?

JEANNIE: Oh, my God.

That is the longest ladder

I ever seen in my entire life.

NICK: Geez, that is high.

THERRON: Holy (bleep).

Oh, God.

JEANNIE: I hate ladders,

and this was the biggest ladder I've ever seen.

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

THERRON: How am I supposed to do this?

Guys, I can't.

Oh, God, I'm dr... (panting)

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

PUNKIN: "Look up.

This cliff stands between you and the ridgeline."

-Oh, my God. -"Choose carefully the first to ascend,

"because they must carry equipment to the top

in order to pull your packs up the cliff."

That's gonna be hard.

You have to carry the equipment to hoist our bags up.

-Yeah, this is gonna be tough. -I know.

-Yep. -PUNKIN: I hope the mountain's keeper

-stays away on this one. -NICK: I am...

absolutely terrified of heights.

I realize there is no way I'm going to go first,

with pulley equipment

to pull our bags up behind us.

ROBERT: All right, who wants to take lead,

-hop up? -JEANNIE: Not it.

-Nick, you look great. -NICK: No, I'm all right.

Y'all go ahead and lead it.

ROBERT: It's a pulley. I'll hold it for you.

AMY: I would volunteer

-to carry something up. -You can throw

something on me, yeah.

AMY: You guys took a big one yesterday,

not eating, so that Pati and I can rest,

and I would like to-to pull my weight today.

-Literally. -GEOFF: I like that.

I like that. I like that.

AMY: I need to be the hero today

because my team

was the hero for me yesterday.

There's been a lot of group chat around camp

that a lot of strong guys

are getting to do the "hard stuff" first,

and I think it's time

that the ladies step up

and show we can do hard things, too.

THERRON: So, we good?

-AMY: I'll carry this. -(all oohing)

THERRON: Oh, this is heavy.

AMY: I got it.

I feel nervous.

It's real friggin' high.

* *

NICK: Let's go, Amy.

(cheering, applause)

DENNIS: How's the feel for it right now?

-It's real wobbly, guys. -Real wobbly?

GEOFF: All right, you're doing great, though.

-JEANNIE: Come on, Amy. -It's hard to use your legs.

-ROBERT: There you go. -JEANNIE: Wow.

ROBERT: Keep that butt in, you're doing great.

PUNKIN: Hey, just breathe, balance it out.

-NICK: Nice, Amy. -THERRON: It is twisting wildly.

You got this!

She got a long way to go.

THERRON: You are moving at a good speed, though.

-JENNYE: Yep. -(Amy grunts)

(panting)

AMY: This is hard.

The minute you get on it, it's just, like, worse

than any jungle gym ladder you ever had as a kid.

You don't want to look up

to see how far you have left to go,

you don't want to look down.

(grunts)

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

-THERRON: No, you're good, you got this! -AMY: My legs are tired.

My arms aren't strong enough

to pull me up that ladder.

(grunting)

-GEOFF: Hey, take-take a rest when you need it. -BECKYLEE: Use your legs more

-if you can, your arms are gonna be tired. -Take a rest when you need it.

GEOFF: Get your breath.

There's no rest, guys.

It's burning every second.

(shouts)

(panting, grunting)

I'll prove my worth. (bleep)

My dad never quit.

Single dad, raising two kids.

To this day, I have to never let him down,

'cause he never let me down.

His can-do attitude and "Don't quit,

always finish what you start,"

and I got that at a very early age.

(grunting)

I lost my dad...

...on the morning of our wedding.

Everybody's putting tents up and getting flowers ready,

and I had to go I.D. my dad's body.

I mean, who does that on their wedding day?

And I remember pulling out of the driveway,

and my mom is there with people setting up,

and I just stuck my head out the window, and I said,

"Just keep doing what you're doing.

We're still gonna get married."

That moment, that day,

I knew that I was setting a precedent for my girls.

When things are so hard, I taught my kids,

you don't quit, no matter what.

I believe in myself. I'm not gonna fail.

I'm not gonna quit, and I haven't quit so far,

ever in my life, and I'm damn sure not gonna quit today.

(panting)

(shouts)

-ROBERT: Yeah! -JEANNIE: Amy!

(grunts)

ROBERT: Keep going, you got it!

(shouts)

-JEANNIE: Come on, Amy! -DUSTY: Last push, Ames.

PUNKIN: Good job, Amy!

-This is you, Amy! -(all cheering)

DUSTY: Keep using legs. Legs, legs, legs.

-Oh, don't look down. -JEANNIE: Nope.

-Don't look down. -ROBERT: Don't look down.

Just look straight ahead or up.

BECKYLEE: Almost there, almost there.

-Last two, come on. -Let's go.

-PATI: Make it to the top! -JEANNIE: You're doing so good.

-GEOFF: Yep, yep, yep. That's it. -ROBERT: Keep walking it out.

That's it.

-PUNKIN: Almost there, let's go. -JEANNIE: Come on, Amy!

-DUSTY: Good job, come on. -NICK: You got it, Amy.

DUSTY: Close, Ames, close.

Good job, Ames, finish her off.

-BECKYLEE: Nice. -JEANNIE: Amy, unbelievable.

(cheering)

(panting)

(crying)

(panting): I did it.

I did it.

* *

PUNKIN: All right, Pati.

-ROBERT: Pati. -(all cheering)

BECKYLEE: I think this was an interesting decision.

ROBERT: And she's off.

NICK: Legs, legs, legs.

JENNYE: Breath, breath. There you go.

Come on, babe.

BECKYLEE: Amy and Pati had just gone

on the helicopter ride.

I actually think that them

stepping forward is a good thing because they're proving

that "Hey, we can still keep up with you guys,

and we'll prove it."

-Her hat's coming off. -(groans)

JENNYE: There you go, Pati.

One more, one more. There you go.

DUSTY: Good job, Pati.

PATI: I'm a confident, big bitch.

I mean, listen, I might look a little thick,

but I got some muscles.

Shh.

I'm so competitive, it's annoying.

I want to prove to myself that I can do it.

(grunting)

JENNYE: There you go, girl. You got it.

-There you go, Pati. -JEANNIE: Pati.

Oh, my God. You're there. You're there.

NICK: Nice job, Pati.

Nice.

Amy and Pati immediately volunteered to go first,

and they feel

like there's a little bit of a target on their back,

so they truly wanted to step up and help the team.

I love the fact that they did that.

ROBERT: Whoo! Let's go!

-JEANNIE: Punkin! -NICK: Let's go, Punkin.

PUNKIN: This ladder is moving.

It's swaying in the wind.

It's not stable.

(groans)

So when you're gonna climb the ladder,

you're going to be

moving with it,

and that absolutely terrifies me.

All right, Punkin.

ROBERT: Any advice, Punkin?

Don't talk to me.

* *

My forearms were completely shot by the time I got up to the top.

-There you go. -PUNKIN: It's crazy. It was hard.

GEOFF: Yeah, Punkin!

JENNYE: Hey, I see you, Punkin.

Girl, you look good.

Strong and steady.

That's it.

That's it. That's it.

BECKYLEE: Geoff-- there's no question about whether

he can make it to the summit.

He can make it to the summit.

But will we allow him to?

Because that could take one of our spots.

Nick is on my side, and I think that's still accurate.

I would love, like, I'm salivating at

the idea of that move

to get that big dog out.

I think a storm is coming.

NICK: Yep.

(chuckles softly)

*

I don't know.

I hate ladders.

I do.

Guys, man, I... I'm freaking out, man. Please.

My dad was a roofer, and he used to say,

"Come on up!" And I'd go halfway up,

"Nope. Sorry, Dad. I just can't do it."

Go back down.

I hate ladders.

And this was the biggest ladder I've ever seen.

NICK: Here we go. Breathe, breathe, breathe.

Good job, Jeannie.

GEOFF: There you go.

(groans)

Holy (bleep).

Please, God. Please, God.

PUNKIN: There you go. Keep pulling yourself up.

-You got it. -GEOFF: You're good. Whenever you need a break.

PATI: Hey, Jeannie, reset. Breathe, baby, reset.

Breathe. Let's go.

JEANNIE: Almost there.

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

-GEOFF: You got it, Jeannie. -NICK: You got it, Jeannie. Come on, now.

PATI: You're gonna make it up here, Jeannie.

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

(panting)

The clock's ticking.

You better hurry up and get through this challenge.

The urgency needs to pick up.

JEANNIE: I can't go!

DUSTY: I'm really hoping that we can make the checkpoint,

possibly by the skin of our teeth.

We are supposed to get up to the summit in 14 days.

If there's people slowing us down,

I think that's a problem.

PATI: Move those feet, babe.

Move those feet.

JEANNIE: God.

Aah!

I'm so scared.

I'm sorry.

(wind whistling)

Oh, my God.

(panting)

(groaning)

I'm so scared.

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

-GEOFF: You got it, Jeannie. -NICK: You got it, Jeannie.

-Come on, now. -PATI: You're gonna make it up here, Jeannie.

Okay.

PATI: Move those feet, babe.

Okay. Aah!

(shouting)

So exhausted.

Keep going.

ROBERT: Keep step... Step up, Jeannie.

JEANNIE: Oh, my God. (shouts)

-DENNIS: Good job, Jeannie! -(whooping)

NICK: Yeah, Jeannie.

That was the most scariest thing I've ever done.

All right, see y'all at the top.

-Yeah. -NICK: Good luck, Becks.

JEANNIE: You got this, Becky!

PATI: Becky!

-DENNIS: Who's that girl? -GEOFF: Wow.

PUNKIN: Okay, Beckylee... showing off.

NICK: There we go.

-PATI: Good job! -GEOFF: Damn.

BECKYLEE: It bothered me the way that the men outcasted

the women in the last obstacle.

-DENNIS: Oh, impressive, Beckylee. -NICK: There we go.

-PUNKIN: She's going fast. -DUSTY: Becky!

NICK: There we go.

BECKYLEE: The men should not be

counting the women out quite yet.

In my head, I am an alpha dog.

I feel like, to other people, if they look at me,

they probably see me as more of an underdog,

which is totally fine by me.

I am a construction project manager.

I'm really damn good at my job.

It's insane to work in this industry

'cause it is so rare to see a woman on a jobsite.

I feel like, when I do get my boots on the ground,

the first time I walk out to a new project,

the first question that pops into every man's brain is,

"Oh, how is she qualified?"

Or, uh, "Who let the intern to this jobsite?"

But you get used to that, right?

Like, I think my skin is, like, thickened and calloused

from the words that have been said to me.

I feel like any woman in construction has

to work harder than a man in construction.

It's frustrating sometimes

because at the end of the day, all you want is respect.

I know that there's no way in hell I'll quit

unless my limbs are falling off my body

and you guys forced me out of this game.

DENNIS: Damn, girl. Showing off for the boys.

PATI: There you go. You made perfect time.

THERRON: Yeah, you're making up time. Thank you.

Good job, Becky.

PATI: Becks, you were skipping rungs.

Superhero stuff.

I felt like I really beasted it.

Women are really proving their strength.

The men are getting a wake-up call.

DUSTY: We got to pick up our pace.

GEOFF: Yeah, we got to pick up our pace.

Beckylee is emerging as a huge threat in this game.

She's gaining a lot of respect, and I need her

to be on my side

'cause she's a strong player,

and people are starting to notice that.

-Okay. -PATI: Hey, T!

-DENNIS: I believe in you. -PATI: Look at me!

You gonna be perfect.

You guys are gonna get up here, and we're gonna get

-something good tonight. -DENNIS: Nothing to worry about. Nothing to worry about.

THERRON: The last thing I want to do is quit,

but, at the same time, we have to be realistic.

I'm one of the people who is terrified of heights.

Oh, my God.

Y'all, this is so scary.

ROBERT: And you're doing it.

(gasping)

THERRON: What's really hard is dealing with

my fear of heights over and over again.

PATI: Great. Look at you.

Ooh! So much arm strength!

ROBERT: Breathe through it.

Breathe through it. Yes.

-Oh, God. -ROBERT: You're good.

You're good. Breathe.

THERRON: Right now my brain's

scrambling because we haven't eaten

and we have no energy.

I don't think I can get up.

PATI: You're good, T!

ROBERT: Keep it breathing.

-DENNIS: There you go. -You guys, I can't.

-You can! You can! -DENNIS: Yeah, you can. Come on.

BECKYLEE: Therron, you have almost $100,000 in your backpack

that you're talking about right now.

I need you to get it together and not quit.

(screams)

BECKYLEE: You just kind of have to tough it out.

You guys, these rocks are sharp as (bleep).

-ROBERT: Come on, now. -Oh, my God, my arms.

ROBERT: We're gonna make camp, and you're gonna

get to relax and cook us a meal.

I'm doing this for food!

-ROBERT: Yes, do it for food! -DUSTY: Come on, now.

Come on, Therron.

Oh, God. I'm trying!

(grunting)

I can't. I cannot do this.

-PATI: No. Keep pulling. -We need you, Therron. Come on, now.

-Don't stop. -JEANNIE: You got this.

Come on, keep pushing!

(screams)

How am I supposed to do this?

I'm a thousand feet up in the air.

I can't even focus on anything except for

I'm probably gonna die in a couple seconds.

I'm too afraid of this.

I can't get my hands on the ladder.

I can't do this. I'm sorry, y'all.

(yelps)

(grunting)

(panting)

Oh, God.

(grunts, screams)

How am I supposed to do this?

-Come on, now. -NICK: Yeah, you got it, Therron.

DUSTY: Our pace is already slow.

I really don't want us to lose more time.

I am 100% worried about Therron,

who might not be able to do this.

I can't. I can't.

(shrieks)

I can't get my hands on the ladder.

Breathe.

-PATI: Hey! -JEANNIE: Good job, Therron.

PUNKIN: Good job, Therron. Yes.

(panting): I hate this.

(crying)

Can y'all start getting the bags?

We're gonna pull bags up.

-Yeah. -BECKYLEE: Okay.

PUNKIN: Amy and Pati carried

this freaking pulley system up the ladder

to be able to pull all of our bags

up to the top of the mountain.

PATI: Girl power. We rule.

DUSTY: It's gonna be heavy for him.

ROBERT: It's surreal to me that we are carrying

$870,000.

-(all grunting) -JEANNIE: Come on!

PATI: Pull that money up!

ROBERT: The fact that one of us

is gonna lose out on that huge,

life-changing amount of money resonates with us.

-PATI: Pull. -ROBERT: Get that money up.

JEANNIE: There we go.

DENNIS: Get it, Rob.

I'm climbing up a ladder.

It's surreal, and it--

I think as the game continues to go on,

it makes you realize that you have a lot

to think about and a lot to find your footing on.

-PUNKIN: Whoo! -AMY: You look great, Rob.

-You're killing it! -Yeah, Rob!

AMY: Look at this warrior dad over here.

-GEOFF: Hey, Jennye, you killing it. -(Jennye grunts)

ROBERT: Because this isn't just a hike where we're all trying

to get to the summit, it's a game

where we're trying to beat each other to win money.

Geoff, I-I really don't care

if you go ahead of me or if I go last.

It's not a big deal to me.

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

GEOFF: Nobody likes to go last.

When you're last, you never know

when the mountain's keeper is coming

and if you're gonna be the one left behind, you know?

So there's a lot of uncertainty when you are

near the end of the group.

Nick, you gonna eat this up, dawg.

I swear.

NICK: I think Dennis is somebody I can strategize with.

So I volunteer to go last.

As long as we both get up this, we got plenty of numbers,

-we're fine. -Yeah. Yeah.

-And then... -We just got to get to camp.

-Yeah, let's just... -Get to camp.

-Things change. -Yep, exactly.

GEOFF: Yes, sir-ski.

DENNIS: He'll-he'll divide the group, for sure.

Like, tonight will be a huge...

Like, from this point on, that means for the next

four checkpoints, we're safe,

-because it's just picking them off. -The numbers. Yep, exactly.

-Picking them off. -I love it.

NICK: The numbers right now,

I think we have a strong group, it's-- right now, it's me,

Dennis,

Becky, Therron, Rob--

I think I'm gonna pull him in.

I think we can pull Pati.

Six, and then maybe even Jennye, that's seven,

and all we need is seven votes, and we kind of control

the lay of the land right now.

You got it. Wow, Geoff, you're already up, dude.

The problem is, too, is that...

NICK: I think Geoff's days are limited right now.

BECKYLEE: Good job, Geoff!

NICK: I don't trust Dennis,

but right now I want to keep him in the game.

-DENNIS: Yeah, oh, yeah. -Okay?

NICK: Everyone's kind of targeting him.

The more I can keep him in, the more he'll be targeted.

DENNIS: Whoo!

GEOFF: I know Dennis is talking about me.

I know my name has come out of his mouth multiple times.

(Dennis grunting)

GEOFF: And so, coming into this checkpoint,

my game plan is to get Dennis out.

I've got multiple people on my side who I had talked to.

Got Amy, Punkin, I've got Rob, Dusty,

and so we're all targeting Dennis.

So I'm feeling good, I'm feeling comfortable

about this voting situation.

-(panting) -How you feeling?

Yo, I-I felt those two shoulder surgeries!

Oh, my God.

NICK: This is probably gonna be the hardest challenge yet.

I'm definitely terrified of heights, and this is no joke.

That thing's wobbling, it's windy out here,

and, uh, it's gonna give about everything I have.

Damn, this thing's shaky.

JENNYE: Let's go, Nick.

-BECKYLEE: Come on, Nick! -PUNKIN: Come on, Nick!

MANU: Facing fears can be trying,

and sometimes what's needed is a little push.

-JENNYE: Let's go, Nick. Let's go, Nick. -THERRON: Whoo!

MANU: Which the mountain's keeper is always ready to provide.

-JENNYE: Come on, Nick! -PUNKIN: Come on, Nick!

-PUNKIN: Eyes forward! -JENNYE: Focus! You got it!

-(helicopter whirring) -THERRON: Is that a helicopter?

DENNIS: Guys, do you hear that?

-What is, what is that? -PUNKIN: Oh...

Oh, (bleep).

-JEANNIE: Don't cut it! -(bleep)

-JEANNIE: Dude, hold on! -DENNIS: Look at the ladder.

NICK: I'm sitting here, I'm watching the mountain's keeper

fly in, and I cannot grasp what this is about to be.

I cannot get Bo's bridge chop out of my mind.

I am so worried

that I'm gonna climb this ladder,

and then it's just gonna fall beneath me,

and I am terrified.

(groaning)

(grunts)

Oh, this is hard, man.

DUSTY: Come on, Nick.

Nick hates heights, so I feel bad.

(exhales)

(groaning)

Come on. Come on.

PUNKIN: There you go, baby.

Yeah! Okay.

JEANNIE: Good job, Nick. Good job.

NICK: Don't look down.

(whispers): Don't look down.

(panting)

-DUSTY: Atta-way. -AMY: Almost. -PUNKIN: There you go.

-Whoo! -DUSTY: Come on, Nick.

-PUNKIN: Come on, Nick! -GEOFF: Yeah!

-JEANNIE: Hey! -AMY: Hey!

PATI: Yeah, Nick!

-(cheering) -PUNKIN: Good job, Nick.

-DENNIS: Dude. -GEOFF: Hey!

BECKYLEE: Kiss that ground.

* *

DUSTY: All right, you guys good to go?

MANU: After five days and many difficult miles,

the group is behind schedule

and less than one-third of the way to the summit.

And despite pushing hard all afternoon,

the race is still on

to reach their third checkpoint camp by nightfall,

where they'll have the opportunity

to steal someone's money.

BECKYLEE: We got our first snow.

MANU: But sometimes the mountain presents a gift

worth pausing for.

-JEANNIE: Snow! Come on, baby. -BECKYLEE: First snow.

(cheering)

BECKYLEE: It felt like such a milestone,

like, our first sight of snow.

I think I said in the beginning, like, "I'm not here for fun.

I'm here to win," but I am having so much fun.

(screaming, laughter)

-AMY: Look at that snow bunny Becky. -BECKYLEE: Having a blast

in that snow was just, like, an ecstatic moment.

-ROBERT: All right. We had some fun. -PATI: Ready.

-ROBERT: Ready to continue to the checkpoint? -BECKYLEE: Yes.

DUSTY: It might be the last time we're happy to see snow.

ROBERT (chuckles): It might be the last time. You're absolutely right.

* *

DUSTY: I feel really good about making checkpoint tonight,

and I am so excited to absolutely

demolish food.

I'm also excited we have the chance

to steal someone's money.

We are supposed to get up to the summit in 14 days.

If there's four or five of us slowing us down,

there needs to be some serious conversations.

JENNYE: Guys, I see it.

PUNKIN: We can see it.

THERRON: We can smell it.

AMY: What kind of food are we gonna have?

-PUNKIN: Who cares? (laughs) -DUSTY: Delicious food.

PUNKIN: As long as we have food.

JEANNIE: Oh, my God, is that it?

-THERRON: Food. -JEANNIE: Aah!

Oh, we're here. We get food.

Where's the food?

PUNKIN: We didn't have food last night,

so coming to this checkpoint is an amazing feeling.

We're so happy.

It's like a home away from home.

Oh, we got pasta! Pasta!

Oh, my God.

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

-DUSTY: Oh, my God. -Mmm!

So good.

Breaking bread. Breaking bread.

That's so good.

GEOFF: We all get a chance to literally break bread

and celebrate.

You know, we can toast our drinks,

we can toast our food.

Salud!

All day we're racing the clock,

and for a split second we forget about that.

You look like a pack of rabid dogs.

-Oh, my God. -Ah!

GEOFF: But you realize, when you do get to a checkpoint,

somebody's got to go home.

I heard you went without food last night.

NICK: Yeah. It was tough.

It was tough.

-Geoff, you made a sacrifice. -Yes.

Everybody here knows how much I love food.

If you voted them to get in the helicopter,

put your hand up.

And put your hand up if you didn't vote for them.

That's telling.

How did you feel about being selected as

one of the slowest?

I nominated myself.

You don't think that puts a target on your back?

I hope not, so...

So today it seems like a game of Snakes and Ladders.

You've been up the ladder. How was that?

Redeeming.

I went first, and carried the equipment

to get our packs up the ladder.

To me, it was redeeming today.

You gave it your all today, you pushed today.

Do you notice any divisions in the group?

That's gonna happen in a game like this.

-But yes. -What divisions?

I think that the game has really taken a turn.

I think this vote tonight is gonna be very telling

in terms of where people stand.

This vote will shake things up.

You're right, because somebody's going off this mountain tonight.

You all have another chance to steal somebody's money

by voting them off.

Who's it gonna be?

DENNIS: I've been scheming to get Geoff out

for a few days,

and I think tonight will be the night

where a Korean Santa Claus gives me my gift.

Because I have this feeling that, ho ho ho,

Geoff, goodbye.

MANU: It's time to play Snakes and Ladders.

Good luck. I'll be back.

(wind whistling)

(wind whistling)

MANU: It's time to play Snakes and Ladders.

Good luck. I'll be back.

PUNKIN: Everybody is scrambling, trying to figure out

who the name is gonna be.

Are we safe?

PUNKIN: I need to make sure my number one is safe.

You have to try to pull someone to the side

and start talking without everybody else

looking at you, so it's just really hard to navigate.

PUNKIN: Pati and Amy,

ultimately, they are slowing us down.

For them to get that ride, we all sacrificed food

and fuel that we need to continue to push

to do these challenges.

BECKYLEE: We do have a timeline.

Definitely something to think about.

I am not trying

to play a game where I'm kicking out

the seemingly weaker players.

Like, that's not the kind of game I want to play.

So I'm turning my sights

to the macho men.

There were conversations happening yesterday

when we went back to camp by ourself.

(sighs heavily)

Yesterday I kind of got a sense or a feeling

the group quickly honed in on Pati and I

for taking the helicopter ride.

So, yeah, my-my wheels are turning.

I'm not real close with Dennis, but I realize

he's a good source of information.

Don't worry, no one's come here to talk to you.

You going in the helicopter meant nothing,

and you did not show your weakness at all.

It's okay. And you know I have to nominate Geoff...

No, you know I can't do it. I'm sorry.

It's okay. You know I'll still love you, girl.

I love you, too.

Dennis said Geoff's name.

I was really surprised,

but I feel a little bit safe and secure.

So now I realize Geoff's got

a real threat of being voted off this mountain.

I'm gonna do damage control.

ROBERT: Dennis and Geoff.

AMY: I'm not voting for Geoff.

I think it's too soon.

-I agree. -I think it's too soon.

-Geoff. -Yeah.

-B. -Yeah? Yeah. Geoff.

ROBERT: I've been having conversations, and it seems like

right now there's two names floating out.

Dennis is because they're like,

he's saying go after the strong guys.

And then there's Geoff because he's a strong guy.

So, again, it's that, like, well, which camp

am I going to align with?

But I-I don't know for sure.

You are right. When you talk to Manu,

it's gonna shake things up tonight.

-Mm-hmm. -Yeah, for sure.

AMY: I'm not voting for Geoff.

Geoff's all I got. You know, he's definitely someone

who's said to me, "I'm working with you."

He's working with me. We're good.

We need to go start campaigning now.

My name is now being the name that's thrown around.

NICK: We got to break 'em up. We get one shot at this.

-Full set, no back down. -Yep, I love it, love it.

I'm not saying your name. I don't care.

GEOFF: I know solid,

solid people that I have. Amy for sure.

And most likely Robert.

Punkin for sure. She said she would never say my name.

I'm trying to use these relationships,

these bonds that I've built.

-Then make up your mind. -I have made up my mind.

AMY: But what they don't know,

it's gonna take someone like Geoff

to help most of us get up that mountain.

He has helped us. He is strong.

It's too soon to be voting off stronger players.

Dennis, funny, the other name being thrown around tonight,

was gonna basically

run his way to the summit and leave all of us in the dust.

AMY: Okay.

So let's get Dennis out.

We got to get Jeannie on board with that.

(indistinct chatter)

JENNYE: Mm-hmm.

JEANNIE: Yeah, I know.

I still have some talking to do, but it's, like...

It's too early to vote him off.

It's too early. It's a mistake.

There's got to be somebody else.

AMY: No one sees what Dennis is doing.

Why are we gonna keep him around if he's already creating havoc?

And Dennis is just sitting back,

watching it unfold.

(shudders)

MANU: Okay, guys, it's time to make the vote.

Take a seat.

Oh, God.

(wind whistling)

(wind whistling)

(indistinct chatter)

Take a seat.

Charles Darwin states, the fittest survive.

But also the most cunning.

But tell me, what is this vote about?

Is it about fitness?

Is it about character? Is it about friendship?

PATI: I think every day is going to be different,

and even if you're the top dog, things are changing.

GEOFF: I can say one thing.

Dennis's name was floating around a lot

the past couple days.

And I thought that you were somebody that I could work with

until I heard that my name had

come out of your mouth multiple times.

"Let's get some of the threats out."

MANU: Dennis...

what do you got to say about that?

I can truthfully say that I wasn't going for Geoff.

GEOFF: So, you can say you weren't gonna go for me,

but did or did you not say that we should go

for the big threats,

and that my name was one that came out your mouth?

I can truthfully say that I was never gonna go for you,

and no, I did not.

MANU: Are there any other names that have come up?

I was hearing Dennis.

I've gotten close to Dennis.

He's a very honest, genuine person.

It's a divide here. I'm with one group

and they're with one group.

And we're trying to get the numbers up

with the group that I'm in.

I've talked to everybody. I haven't talked

to Punkin so much, I haven't talked to Geoff so much.

People that I don't know.

And I don't know if they have my back.

That's who I'm just voting for.

We all want to make it to the summit,

and I wish we could all make it to the summit together.

But it's hard.

So you have to start thinking about,

how do I make sure I stay on the right side of numbers?

I think everybody knows what the divide is,

so vote what you actually feel,

because voting one way isn't gonna change anything.

Everybody knows where everybody stands.

I think you should vote what you feel. Right?

In your heart. And not just voting out of fear

-just to be with the numbers. -AMY: That's what I said to Jeannie.

Don't vote with the numbers. I said, "Tell me why

if you're voting Geoff." Vote for who you want.

Listen, a perfect example. When the helicopter came

and said, you know, "Do you want food

or you don't want food?"

Okay, who raised their hand that they wanted you

to go on the hike? Right?

Punkin and Geoff.

And that gave me a bad taste in my mouth.

That was so selfish.

Oh.

MANU: Does anybody want to say anything

before we go to the vote?

So let's vote for Geoff and Dennis.

If it's Dennis's time to leave the mountain,

put your hand up.

That's three votes for you, Dennis.

Okay, if you want to vote Geoff off the mountain...

put your hand up.

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven...

Eight votes.

Geoff, your time on this mountain

has come to an end.

Collect your gear, bring out your money.

Share it between those that are left here.

GEOFF: The mountain has taught me that whenever you feel comfortable,

that's when you are least safe.

Why is it necessary to get physical threats out,

especially so early in the game?

You getting rid of me doesn't make it any easier

for you to get up the mountain.

If anything, it makes it more difficult.

They're voting out of fear.

Hindsight is always 20/20, but it's good.

I'm learning from these mistakes, you know,

and those mistakes turn into lessons.

Well, you're gonna split this between you.

You now have $870,000 to carry to the summit.

This is a life-changing amount of money.

DENNIS: I love that we got Geoff out.

I'm out here to be a savage.

I'm as evil as it can get, and I do not care

about hurting feelings out here.

MANU: Who could use $870,000?

PUNKIN: We all could. Come on.

BECKYLEE: I am on a high. My plan

went into action perfectly for the second night.

'Cause I led the Shweta vote, I led the Geoff vote.

And I feel like right now

I actually have no blood on my hands,

which is shocking.

Bam, I'm kicking you down.

You know, I've been putting the seeds out,

I've been whipping the votes.

Geoff is off us now,

and no chance he's getting to the summit.

Here you go, hon.

I think I'll lay low

for maybe one night, let someone else control a vote.

And then we'll jump right back into it.

Holy crap, you can't see a thing.

If we end up going the wrong way, we might be backtracking.

We're stuck. We're stuck at this camp.

JENNYE: I really don't trust Rob right now.

Having someone you know you can't trust,

-that is crippling. -(cries out)

If you go with the leaders,

you're gonna see people's true colors tonight.

I'm gonna piss a lot of people off

-if I do that. -(shouting)

PUNKIN: It's a cliff so difficult, you should partner up.

(pained cries)

MANU: This is gonna challenge you

more than you've ever been challenged in your lives.

NICK: What has happened?

(crying out)

JENNYE: I am not moving from this position.

(loud shriek)
