The Summit (2024) s01e06 Episode Script
Never Show Your Weakness
1
Your challenge
is to reach the summit.
NICK:
Damn, look how high that is.
MANU:
You'll only be as fast
as your slowest member.
(screams)
MANU:
Last time,
the group passed the midpoint
in their journey.
THERRON (crying):
Oh, my God.
I'm not an adrenaline junkie.
I do not get on rollercoasters.
I do not do stuff like this.
-DUSTY: Therron!
-(screams)
MANU:
And their true characters
have been revealed.
Raise your hand if it's Dennis
you want to send off
the mountain.
DENNIS:
Jennye literally just blew up
her own (bleep) game.
(laughs)
JENNYE:
Dennis is a liar,
and I'm gonna hold him
accountable to his (bleep) lies.
NICK:
This is not a game
where you want to go around
making enemies.
(laughs):
This could get nasty.
(laughs)
MANU:
There's no hiding
JEANNIE:
Come on, Pati!
MANU:
on this mountain.
I told you a rule
on the first day.
You must travel together.
-I don't see them.
-DUSTY: Just keep going.
I wouldn't stop.
You've not been
staying together.
-One of you has
been going too slow.
-(grunts)
DUSTY:
Pati's a little bit of an anchor
we're dragging up the hill.
MANU:
and one of you
has been going too fast.
Dusty!
I guess I'm doing this alone,
then.
MANU:
You will vote
for either Pati or Dusty.
I want to see a vote of hands
for Pati.
AMY:
You think I wanted
to vote for Pati?
I'm not voting for Pati.
I just can't vote against Dusty.
DENNIS:
I'm sorry.
MANU:
Tonight, with only
five days left
-to reach the summit
-(shouts)
-BECKYLEE: I'm worried
right now
-I don't want to do it.
BECKYLEE:
Now we have to pick up
the pace to make up
-that time.
-(shouts)
MANU:
the group is down to nine
-Ah
-(grunts)
MANU:
and nearly $900,000
in their backpacks.
AMY:
You can definitely tell
it's getting heavier.
MANU:
Dennis is feeling the heat.
DENNIS:
It's tough to see Pati go
'cause she's had my back,
and next elimination,
I know everyone wants me out.
THERRON:
Dennis would
be the obvious choice.
PUNKIN:
Oh, yeah. He's so fake.
MANU:
Lines will be drawn
between weak and strong.
AMY:
I don't like anybody questioning
my judgement or my character.
MANU:
Who will come out on top?
I get from Dennis
just a whole lot of (bleep).
MANU:
And who do they need
DUSTY:
I can't have anyone out there
-trying to get me.
-Oh, my God!
MANU:
to make it to the summit?
-I can't make it.
-PUNKIN: Jennye, you okay?
This would be hard on her knees.
(shouts)
DENNIS:
Jennye has been trying
to get me out,
so injure yourself.
-Get off this mountain.
-JEANNIE: Hang on.
Quit.
People are gonna hate
that I said that, too,
-but it's whatever.
-(screams)
(wind whistling)
DUSTY:
I hated the position
I was in tonight.
I think I literally
stopped breathing.
It was a complete shock.
Although I'm thankful
that I'm still here,
I hate that Pati
was voted off in that way,
especially when we have
people like Dennis
still hanging around just
being just a little bit
of a snake.
NICK:
Tonight, with Pati voted out,
I did lose a number
in our alliance,
and as the group shrinks,
the-the votes are gonna
get harder, right?
And that's where you really
have to make sure
you have the numbers.
NICK:
Dusty has kind of made his way
into our alliance,
but at the same time,
the problem with Dusty
is he's a threat.
So I'm a little worried
right now.
Okay.
I can't trust that (bleep) guy.
NICK:
Every vote now, I think,
is gonna be really close.
It's only gonna
get harder from here.
Right now,
my mind's all over the place.
Anything can happen
in this game,
and I'm not 100% sure
that Dusty has my back.
(wind whistling)
(birds chirping)
JEANNIE:
Ugh, my God.
I don't mind cold,
but this is so cold.
AMY:
So I'm gonna go ahead and put
the food on. What do you think?
JEANNIE:
Yeah, yeah. Let's do that.
It feels good cooking.
It feels a little like--
a little bit like at home.
-AMY: A little bit, right?
-Yeah, it does.
In last night's vote,
when Pati hugged me,
she said, "Don't trust Nick."
Um, that really hit me,
because Nick
is someone that I want
to work with,
and that's concerning to me.
So I'm gonna have to use
a little caution.
It's a warning,
and I think I need to kind of
watch out for that.
And as much as we love
everybody, I think Dennis
-might be in trouble.
Just watch.
-Yeah.
-Yeah, yeah.
-Just see what you think.
AMY:
The good thing for me
is we've got somebody out here
who's blatantly
looking at all of us
in the face and lying to us.
So at this point,
why are we gonna
keep him around?
Hopefully,
Dennis will seal his fate today.
-I kind of agree. We have to
-(whispers): Start paying
attention.
JEANNIE:
Yeah, yeah.
Listen, we all know it's a game,
and we got to do
what's best for us
and what we think will make us
go further through the game.
-AMY: (laughs) Mom squad
-Yeah.
AMY:
trying to figure it out.
MANU:
Over halfway into their
100-mile journey to the summit,
the unforgiving terrain
has taken a steep toll
on the group.
DENNIS:
My God. I am sore.
MANU:
While some injuries sustained
are mere flesh wounds
PUNKIN (Australian accent):
I have broken toenails, mate.
MANU:
others are more serious.
-THERRON: Dennis.
-(bleep)
(shouts)
JENNYE:
I am hiding
a significant knee injury.
(shouts)
Holy (bleep).
MANU:
If the injuries slow
the group down,
it will jeopardize
their chances of making it
to the summit
by the 14-day deadline.
(wind whistling)
BECKYLEE:
So, Dusty, you're back in front?
-Do you-- would you guys
like me to be?
-Yeah.
-Sure.
-BECKYLEE: I think you're
-a really good leader.
-Sure.
DUSTY:
I've been chosen as a leader,
so I'm really concerned
about time at this point.
We have a checkpoint to make.
We're definitely not making
the same mistake again,
-so I'm not too concerned
about that.
-What's our strategy, like,
to keep everybody
together, though?
Are we just gonna
figure it out along the way?
If you think you're slower,
you just can't be in back.
-Okay.
-If you think you're
one of the slowest,
-do not be in the very back.
-Okay.
I got to be able
to keep an eye on you
-so I can talk to you, too.
-Okay.
We-we're not gonna make
the same mistake again.
We're gonna be fine.
BECKYLEE:
Based on the map, I think
we're going mostly downhill.
Downhill, yeah.
It's gonna be just make sure
we're making really good steps,
and if I lead us to a bad area,
just yell at me.
-JEANNIE: Let's go.
-PUNKIN: Let's get to going.
-BECKYLEE: Okay, let's go.
-JEANNIE and PUNKIN: Day nine!
-NICK: Day nine, baby.
-JEANNIE: Let's do this.
-(whoops)
PUNKIN: Almost $100K each
that we're carrying around.
BECKYLEE: You can definitely
tell it's getting heavier.
MANU:
Starting at checkpoint
camp five,
the group now faces
a challenging seven-mile trek
to reach a breathtaking
alpine lake
that marks
their next checkpoint camp.
From there,
they must cross the lake
and attempt
a harrowing glacial traverse
in order to reach the final
three checkpoint camps
on their way to the summit.
The stress on their bodies
is taking a toll.
To make matters worse,
today they must navigate
steep downhill terrain,
cross a deep ravine via ropes,
and ascend a rigorous incline
to reach Lochnagar,
which marks checkpoint camp six.
DENNIS:
My God.
Ooh.
Pati got eliminated last night,
and that vote yesterday
easily could've been me.
Not everyone is as lucky as me.
I think every step I take,
I feel in my glutes.
So now I need
to build relationships
and do a lot of damage control,
because this next elimination
I think my name
is gonna get brought up,
and I don't want that to happen.
-JENNYE: Ooh.
-THERRON: Ooh, this one's
deep right here.
-You see my foot?
-Yes.
-Keep sidestepping.
-JEANNIE: Careful.
I'm using-- I'm using
the big plants.
-Crazy right here.
-Ooh.
-Yep.
-Ooh, ooh, ooh.
-Do not put your foot there.
-Yeah. Okay.
-(both laugh)
JEANNIE:
Watch out here, too.
It's a big hole.
THERRON (laughs):
That-that looks solid,
but it ain't.
-Ooh. Ooh!
-(gasps)
PUNKIN:
Whoa. Are you okay?
-BECKYLEE: What?
-See-- oh, no.
-DENNIS: My God.
-AMY: Oh, God! Ugh.
(Amy grunts)
Hold my backpack.
(shouts)
DUSTY:
I felt so bad
because Amy came rolling down,
and I wasn't sure
if she was hurt.
JEANNIE:
Watch out here, too.
It's a big hole.
-Ooh. Ooh!
-Whoa.
-NICK: Are you okay?
-PUNKIN: Are you okay?
AMY:
I'm okay. Yes.
-I just wanted a shortcut, bro.
-(laughs)
(bleep)
-AMY: Did you push me, Becks?
-(laughs)
I'm trying to make it
to final eight, Amy.
Oh, my gosh.
DUSTY:
I personally respect Amy a lot
because she started off slow,
and she really toughened up.
-Happy to, happy to
-That was incredible.
BECKYLEE:
I am so impressed that
you're not injured from that.
-(laughter)
-DENNIS: Did you fall?
(bird screeches)
BECKYLEE:
I think we're going
mostly downhill.
-PUNKIN: Downhill.
-JEANNIE: I thought downhill
was bad for knees.
PUNKIN:
It is.
-Jennye, you okay?
-Yep.
Okay.
JENNYE:
On day two,
I fell and hurt my knee.
People know about my injury,
but what I don't think people
understand is how severe,
because I know that
people can be, you know, hyenas.
So I need to keep it quiet.
PUNKIN:
We got to make sure
we watch for Jennye. Her knee.
Oh, yeah. Have you talked
to her about it recently?
She says she's fine.
She won't talk about it.
DENNIS:
With Jennye,
she has a knee injury.
People should look at Jennye
to get voted out,
but if I call her out on this,
people are gonna think
I'm just backstabbing
and being more deceiving,
but she is definitely
on my hit list, for sure.
(bird squawks)
-JEANNIE: Oh, my God.
-AMY: No
JEANNIE:
Ugh. No way.
DENNIS:
Well, this looks like it sucks.
DUSTY:
We got a little bit
of a note up there.
-(panting)
-Oh, God.
AMY:
"Your path to the summit
is blocked
by two jagged cliffs
65 feet apart"
-(all moaning)
-AMY: "To continue, each of you
"will crawl across
the parallel ropes
to the other side."
Crawl across?
JEANNIE:
What? Crawl across?
AMY:
"Unfortunately, for some of you,
there's no way to do this
without looking straight down."
-Oh.
-DENNIS: Whoa.
-BECKYLEE: Crawl
-JEANNIE: We got to look down.
DUSTY:
Oh, swell.
Oh, my God.
(sighs)
I never thought
it could get harder and harder.
I have to crawl and see heights.
Every other obstacle,
I closed my eyes,
and I don't think I'll be able
to close my eyes on this one.
I mean, holy geez,
this is insane.
(Dennis exhales)
(wind whistling)
AMY:
"Your path to the summit
is blocked
by two jagged cliffs
65 feet apart."
-(all moaning)
-AMY: "To continue,
"each of you will crawl
"across the parallel ropes
to the other side.
"There's no way to do this
without looking straight down.
Don't lose your focus,
and don't drop your money."
Mentally, I'm in a great spot.
Physically, I'm not so good.
Okay, Dusty, let's go.
My toes are very bruised.
Again, the obstacles
take a long time,
and we know we need to make
checkpoint tonight,
because the conditions
are getting
a lot more treacherous.
MANU:
Given the precariousness
of this ravine crossing,
each group member
must navigate it alone,
leaving the weighty
responsibility
of transporting
the entire group's money
on the last person to cross.
So the last person
is responsible
for getting $900,000
across to the other side.
So, does anybody feel
especially comfortable
with handling the bags?
So, now we have to decide
who we want to send all this
money across to the other side.
I'm really struggling.
This game is so unpredictable,
and we've had several encounters
with the mountain's keeper.
She could kick someone
off the mountain
or reward someone's gameplay,
so there is more
that goes into this decision
than just picking who goes next
because the money is everything.
Ultimately, we have to decide
who we kind of trust
in this game.
DENNIS:
I-I would be fine with it.
-BECKYLEE: You'd be? Okay.
-DENNIS: Yeah.
I played this game
really hard from day one,
but at the point
we are right now,
I think it's really important
for my game
to show that I am a team player,
but man, if that mountain keeper
comes along
and there's an advantage,
bring it on.
-We just can't screw this up
and lose everything.
-DENNIS: Yeah.
It looks like a drop from here.
JENNYE:
Oh, Dennis.
Having someone you absolutely
100% know you can't trust
in charge of the money
is terrifying.
I don't know what happened,
but we need
to change the consensus.
AMY:
Nick, do you want
to go first?
NICK:
Yeah. Sure.
I don't mind going second.
NICK:
Let's go boy, girl, boy, girl.
Yeah.
-DUSTY: Dennis last?
-BECKYLEE: Yeah.
AMY:
All right, Nick.
Figure it out for us.
(screeching)
NICK:
Heights are not my thing.
Everyone in the group
knows that.
That's kind of why
they chose me to go first
so I could get it over with,
but I don't have too much time
to get across this.
(grunts)
Yeah, you got to look down.
That's a fact.
I could not look forward
because I had to see
where my hands were going.
I'm staring straight down
into this creek,
and I realize how high
I really am,
and just seeing nothing
but a straight fall.
This is not fun.
Guys, guys, look how
wobbly the rope is right now.
(chuckles) There's no way
I'm gonna make it.
-65 feet across?
-PUNKIN: Yep.
DENNIS:
That's gonna be really hard.
(Nick chuckles nervously)
Oh.
I'm trying to be
in, like, a reverse V.
I realize there's no way
that I'm gonna be able
to make it all the way
to the other side
with this strategy.
Steady, steady!
NICK:
So, I drop to my knees,
get off my feet,
and kind of just shuffle
across this thing.
(panting)
The ropes are digging
into my legs,
and it's tough to keep going.
(whoops)
And you know it gets wobbly
in that middle.
(groans)
BECKYLEE:
Hurry up.
NICK:
Awkward spot.
It's still wobbling
a little bit.
Yeah, he's still rolling.
(whoops)
Of course it says
you have to look down.
(panting)
-BECKYLEE: Good job! Whoo!
-AMY: Good job, Nick!
DENNIS:
Go, Nick!
AMY:
Good job, Nick!
NICK:
Halfway, you realize your arms
are about to fall off.
One slip and you may not be
able to pull yourself back up,
so I'm very worried
that not everyone
is gonna make it across
and we lose their money.
Oh, my God. This is crazy.
I don't know. I might have
to tap out. I don't know.
I don't know if I can do this.
NICK:
Yes, you can.
Oh, my God!
I-I'm, like, I'm so scared!
NICK:
Knees are gonna go inside,
feet go outside.
You go to get your foot outside.
Like this?
Please, God
I have to close my eyes.
BECKYLEE:
We need to pick up the pace.
Jeannie, get some
momentum going!
I have to do this.
I want to reach
the summit so bad.
Nice. Just keep moving.
Just get in a rhythm, Jeannie.
AMY:
You got it, Mama!
Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
Come on, Jeannie.
No, hey. You can do it.
-Come on.
-Oh, my God!
-Keep your balance!
-NICK: Yep.
She's exhausted.
NICK:
You're almost there, Jeannie.
JEANNIE:
Uh, my arms are shaking.
My legs are shaking.
I feel like I'm almost having,
like, a panic attack.
Everything is going
through your head.
I got to think of my loved ones.
My husband, my kids,
who'd say, "You got this."
I do a lot of crazy things,
but nothing like this at all.
I haven't traveled a lot,
but I do have a hobby,
and my hobby
is riding motorcycles.
(squeals)
And me and my kids
trained for the Spartan Race.
JEANNIE'S DAUGHTER:
Yeah, Mom!
I was so afraid
I couldn't do it, but I did it.
I didn't finish in time,
but I did it.
My kids told me, Mom,
you'll regret it if you
do not challenge yourself.
You're gonna come home
and you're gonna
regret that you did not do that.
(gasps)
When you're exhausted,
when you can't do any more,
that means you're only 50% done.
You still got 50 more percent,
so get up and go.
THERRON:
The mountain is no joke.
It really drives you insane.
-NICK: Nice!
-AMY: Almost there!
Almost there!
There you go! Speed it up!
-(team whooping)
-PUNKIN: Go, Jeannie!
I think I'm gonna throw up.
THERRON:
At home, I'm not encountering
any of these situations.
The very first obstacle,
when we're holding hands
and we can fall off, scared.
-T-The, the bridge,
I was scared.
-(hisses, gasps)
But that rope and the cliff
and this cat crawl, too high.
Too high.
It just feels like the end.
I didn't prepare myself
to jump off of cliffs
over and over again.
It makes me want to leave.
I'm over this (bleep).
I'm upset.
I'm just so frustrated. I'm mad.
I'm angry I have to keep
doing this stupid (bleep),
and I don't want to do it.
-(gasps)
-Oh!
I don't want to do it.
I have no arm strength left.
Ooh, that was a good drop.
So what names are being
thrown around tonight?
NICK:
I think the majority's
on Dennis right now.
THERRON:
I would personally
like Jennye or Amy to go.
AMY:
Paranoia sets in for everybody.
(wind whistling)
I'm so done. I really want
to turn back right now.
-Therron!
-Hey!
Once you're on there,
you got it!
At home, when you're crying,
it's a sign of weakness,
and it's not that I'm weak,
it's just I'm being faced
with real-life fear.
Come on! If this old fart
did it, you can do it!
Okay.
-(laughs) I told you!
-Hey, you got it, Therron!
NICK:
Come on. Yep.
JEANNIE:
Nice and easy, Therron.
NICK:
Feet on the outside.
Oop, that works, too, yeah.
JEANNIE:
You got it!
All right, Therron!
You got this!
DUSTY:
Go, Therron!
AMY:
That's Therron's
kryptonite, so
he just needs
to keep looking forward.
THERRON:
I hate this with my whole soul.
-Nice and easy.
-Therron, you're good, man.
You don't want to start over.
-NICK: When he gets to
that halfway point
-JEANNIE: Yeah. Yeah.
and has to look straight
down and sees how high it is
Oh, my God. I was so scared.
I was crying.
THERRON:
Can't do this.
-JEANNIE: I feel so bad for him.
-NICK: Don't think
about the end,
just think about next step.
-Yep.
-You'll get there in no time.
-JEANNIE: One after the other.
-AMY: Hold on, T. Hold on.
T, you're way over
halfway there. You're way over.
(panting, grunting)
-NICK: Yeah, T!
-JEANNIE: Nice!
DUSTY:
Attaboy, Therron!
Damn, I feel like
I'm underestimating myself.
That was really high, but
I'm proud I got on the ropes.
I was two seconds away
from asking to go home.
I'm conquering
a lot of my fears.
JENNYE:
I think Dennis is not
the most, um, trustworthy.
You're probably more trustworthy
than Dennis is.
I hope so.
JENNYE:
I was gonna say,
I prefer it to be Dusty.
Dennis has had
two shoulder surgeries
and blah, blah, blah.
We could also say it on that.
Remember two nights ago?
He was complaining
about shoulder pain?
(moans, pants)
How you feeling?
Yo, I-I felt those
two shoulder surgeries.
Oh, my God.
JENNYE:
The group definitely
feels the same as me
except that no one wants
to ruffle any feathers
and no one wants to seem--
to be the one to call people out
on their (bleep),
but I definitely don't mind.
I don't want him with my money.
I don't want him
carrying my bag.
I don't even want to sit here
and have a conversation
with him.
You can sit there
and complain about it
or you can make the change.
So basically, we just
had a talk and decided
because of your arm surgeries
Dusty would be
the better choice
to bring the money across.
I-I completely understand.
W-We don't know
how we're gonna get
the bags across, so
BECKYLEE:
Dusty, you're comfortable
with that?
Yeah, that's fine with me.
-BECKYLEE: Okay.
-DUSTY: I'm good with it.
DENNIS:
This group doesn't trust me
being able to volunteer myself
to go last
and haul over
the nine other bags
for the group and all the money.
It would've shown loyalty
and that I am trustworthy.
It's getting me worried.
AMY:
There you go, Punkin!
-She's got knees in.
-BECKYLEE: There you go!
I'm getting in the mindset of,
girl, you just got to do it
and get across quickly.
There you go, Punkin!
You got this!
PUNKIN:
But it's not easy.
She's wide.
JENNYE:
She's Spiderman-ing it.
Look at her.
NICK:
Can you get it
more on your calves?
-JEANNIE: Yeah.
-Does that make sense?
PUNKIN:
I know that people
are definitely starting
to get paranoid in this game
because we are realizing
we're getting
closer and closer to the end.
-Me?
-Mm-hmm.
PUNKIN:
Every day, people are scheming
and trying to figure out
who's gonna go home,
and honestly, I'm just trying
to make sure I stay here
and I keep my butt safe.
NICK:
I'm starting to notice
that Punkin is getting
really close
to Becky and Therron.
I'm trying to think about
who's physically
gonna get us up there.
NICK: Makes me put
a little target on her back.
I'm starting to worry,
how close is she?
Is there a chance that she could
get closer to them than I am?
You got this. Take a breather.
Keep going.
Nick!
Do you feel like the pressure
is on your ankles?
It is on my ankles!
JEANNIE:
Oh, my God.
Can you get it
more on your shin?
(panting)
-JENNYE: Just keep moving.
-AMY: Keep it going.
-(screams)
-JEANNIE: You got it,
Punkin! Come on!
Come on, Punkin. Come on.
(Punkin moans)
(screams)
It burns!
Go, girl!
JEANNIE:
Come on!
(Punkin screams)
Try to go five at a time,
then break.
(grunts)
NICK:
Keep going on your shin.
Go. Nice, P.
JEANNIE:
Yeah! (whoops)
Come on, Punkin!
Come on, Punkin!
NICK:
Nice job, Punkin!
(shouts)
Nice job, Punkin!
(moans)
AMY:
Look what he's doing.
He's, like, lying down.
Oh.
(grunts)
-NICK: They got Dennis
going now.
-There's no way.
He said he's going last
with the bags.
NICK:
Dusty's Dusty's over there.
AMY:
You're kind of a wild card.
-No one knows where you stand.
-Me?
Yeah.
I feel really good about
this crew that's still here.
I feel really good
about Therron.
-I feel pretty good about Nick.
-AMY: Yeah.
-Uh, pretty good about Punkin.
-Good job, Dennis!
Yeah, I was gonna ask
you about Nick.
-Pati warned me.
-About?
-About Nick.
-Really?
AMY:
She didn't have to say that,
you know?
I felt like she was
looking out for me.
Nice, Dennis.
BECKYLEE:
I do trust Nick,
but I'm getting
a little weird vibes.
-Yeah.
-And I don't know
if he's getting more paranoid,
or more nervous.
-I think that's what it is.
-But you feel it.
-Yeah.
-DUSTY: I think so.
And paranoid people flip.
AMY:
My plan going ahead
is to build relationships
with the people that I feel
the most comfortable with.
Pati told me not to trust Nick,
so if I don't have someone
that I know is gonna
go with what they say
and say what they do,
it's just too much
of a risk for me.
You got this.
He is full-frogging it.
(Dennis grunts)
-PUNKIN: Good job.
-NICK: He's using
a lot of strength.
NICK:
Come on, Dennis.
(panting)
Looking down sucks.
(grunts)
THERRON
Dennis!
-Good job, Dennis.
-Nice, Dennis.
-JEANNIE: Dennis.
DENNIS:
Holding on to dear life
was my technique.
It almost seemed like
I dragged a dead body
with a coffin behind me.
This has got to be
one of the hardest challenges
I've ever come by.
-(laughter)
-Nice.
JEANNIE (laughs):
Yeah!
His arms have got to be shot.
DENNIS:
Obviously, I want to see
people struggle,
and you know what?
Not everyone's gonna be able
to cross that obstacle.
Strategically speaking,
it's good for me.
That sucked.
Don't tell anyone.
-JENNYE: Here we go.
-BECKYLEE: You got it, Jennye.
DUSTY:
Think about cats.
It'll-it'll bring you comfort.
BECKYLEE:
There's a cat on the other side
that you need to rescue.
-You got this,
kitty, meow, meow.
-Come on, J.
(Jennye grunting)
JENNYE:
We'll see.
Is Jennye gonna have
any trouble with her knee?
JEANNIE:
Her knees were all taped up.
NICK:
Jennye showed me
the other night.
-She took her brace off
-JEANNIE: Oh, she did?
and it was black and blue
all the way down to her ankle.
-No way.
-I-I said, "Jennye,"
and she goes, "I haven't
showed anyone (bleep)."
And when I mean "it's bad,"
it's bad.
JENNYE:
I'm injured, but I've been
pretty much masking it
the whole time.
This is an elimination game,
so
any little thing can
make people vote you off.
You got this, Jennye!
(Jennye grunts)
Come on, Jennye!
THERRON:
Ooh, let's go, Jennye!
NICK:
Yeah, Jennye!
JEANNIE:
She's focused, man. Look at her.
Keep moving, Jennye.
Keep moving.
(grunts)
PUNKIN:
Good job, Jennye!
NICK:
Nice, Jennye.
THERRON:
Use them gaiters.
You're halfway. You got it.
I can't make it.
Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
THERRON:
Good pace.
Take a break if you need it.
(moans)
-You got it.
-You got it, you got it.
(shouts)
Oh, gosh, she fell.
JEANNIE:
Hang on, Mama.
Hang on.
-NICK: You all right, Jennye?
-(grunts)
JEANNIE:
Can you get your legs back up?
Can you get
your legs in front of you?
NICK:
Come on, Jennye.
(Jennye screams)
PUNKIN:
Oh, God, she fell,
she fell, she fell.
No, she did not.
PUNKIN:
That goes to show you
right there,
don't take it for granted.
-Now I'm freaking out.
-THERRON: Damn.
(grunts)
Take some deep breaths,
regroup, you got it.
Jennye, you okay?
No?
JENNYE:
I got as far as I could.
My knee is, like, three times
the size of the other one.
I can't move it anymore.
It just won't go.
I don't think I--
I-I can't make it across.
BECKYLEE:
This is a huge setback,
and I'm, like,
if she gives up
on this obstacle,
her money's gone.
Her knee injury
is a lot more serious,
and so I think this could be
the end of the game for Jennye.
Jennye, you can conquer this!
DENNIS:
I want to laugh my evil,
demonic laugh.
My number-one enemy
in this game, Jennye,
I think she's gonna quit
in the middle of the obstacle.
(grunts)
Yes.
This is perfect,
'cause now I can sit back
and just watch the show,
and I love it.
(cackles)
(wind whistling)
PUNKIN:
You got this, Jennye.
THERRON:
You wouldn't let me quit,
I'm not gonna let you quit!
JENNYE:
Three-quarters of the way,
my knee just gave out,
and I dropped.
(screams)
People, they either go
one of two ways.
The challenges conquer them
or they conquer the challenge.
I teach Muay Thai.
It's the punching
and kicking part of MMA.
I have been through some really
hard, life-changing things.
When I was 31,
I had ovarian cancer.
That was terrifying and scary.
There are a lot of people
that have battled cancer
that don't come out
the other side, and I did.
I'm definitely a fighter.
I have been given
a second chance.
All of the things
that I have been through
taught me that I am invincible.
Conquering the challenge
is when you become more.
You become your better self.
This mountain won't conquer me,
that's for damn sure.
I am not going to quit.
-THERRON: Yeah,
she's about to go again!
-PUNKIN: She's about to go.
-All right, Jennye.
-Come on, Jennye.
JENNYE:
I have to rethink immediately.
I'm an athlete,
I have upper body strength.
What if I sat
like on the toilet,
one leg on each side,
and I try to kind of crab-walk?
Everybody else made it.
I ain't going out like that.
I ain't going out like a punk,
just tear up my arms.
Screw this.
AMY:
Look at her, look at her,
look at what's she doing.
-PUNKIN: There you go.
-Look what she's doing.
Oh, maybe that might work.
This would be hard on her knees.
Honestly, if people fall
and they hurt themselves,
as long as they don't die,
it's better for my game.
Jennye has been trying
to get me out,
so injure yourself.
Get off this mountain. Quit.
People are gonna hate
that I said that, too,
but it's whatever.
JEANNIE:
Come on, Jennye.
THERRON:
Come on.
(panting)
PUNKIN:
Let's go, Jennye!
That's what determination
looks like.
Sorry it took so long.
Yeah, that was awesome.
-NICK: Good job, Jen.
-JENNYE: The normal rules
do not apply out here
on this mountain at all.
Good job. I'm so proud of you.
JENNYE:
When you thought you weren't
going to be able to do something
and then you actually
end up doing it,
-that relief
-PUNKIN: You did it.
I can handle whatever else
is gonna come at me.
-Great job, Jennye.
-I'm glad you f-fought.
You dug deep.
JENNYE:
And I might not be as slick
as some other people,
but I'm gonna
still make it happen.
Oh, yeah, this sucks.
THERRON:
Hey!
All right, Beckylee,
there you go.
NICK:
Nice, Beck.
BECKYLEE:
I'm worried right now.
Jennye fell,
and it took a while.
Now we have to pick up the pace
to make up that time.
(bleep), this hurts.
-This sucks!
-(all oohing)
PUNKIN:
Hold up!
-Yeah.
-NICK: You're good, Beck.
You're good.
My arms are numb.
The wind makes it so much more
difficult to even hold on.
I look up and I'm, like,
"I still have 70% to go?"
Oh, my gosh.
How do I keep going?
-PUNKIN: There you go.
-(grunting)
(wind whistling)
PUNKIN:
There you go.
Good job, Beckylee.
(whoops)
That was hard.
-PUNKIN: It was hard.
-THERRON: You did it.
PUNKIN:
Good. Perfect.
-Yeah!
-JEANNIE: Oh, wow, yeah!
Amy!
-PUNKIN: There you go, Amy!
-Oh, my God! (grunts)
-JEANNIE: Don't worry,
keep going!
-PUNKIN: Just keep going.
(panting)
(groaning)
-(Punkin shouts)
-(gasps)
-Holy (bleep).
-(bleep)
-PUNKIN: Ooh.
That was a big drop.
(crying)
THERRON:
Amy, you got this!
This obstacle is taking
a lot longer than
I think any of us expected.
Is Amy going to fall?
Once again, we got to go.
I don't want to do it.
I have no arm strength left.
I want to quit.
But then,
I remembered my girls' letters.
"You've always taught me
to never doubt myself
"and never give up,
so I e-expect you
to listen to your own advice."
THERRON:
Amy, you got this!
AMY:
I'm gonna try it one more time.
(panting)
BECKYLEE:
Amy's starting to panic,
so I think this
is gonna take a little longer.
-NICK: Come on, Amy.
JEANNIE: Nice and easy.
Let's go, Amy.
JENNYE: You got to go
on your butt and scoot.
-(exhales)
-Left leg on the outside
of the other one.
It's gonna be awkward. Yes, yes.
Keep the ropes
in your knee socket.
It's just awkward.
It's gonna burn your arms out,
but just keep going.
-Am I even going anywhere?
-ALL: Yes!
-(laughs)
-You're actually moving quickly.
JENNYE:
Yeah.
Yep. Perfect.
(grunting)
Therron, I want a hug!
I got you!
We traversed a mountain,
you can bounce
that thing on over here.
-(groans)
-JENNYE: I know,
just keep going.
-Yep, she's freaking out.
-I can't!
I get it, I get it.
PUNKIN:
You're halfway, Amy.
Thick thighs save lives!
-Thick thighs save lives, baby.
-JENNYE: Exactly.
Don't worry. Keep going!
I'm watching Amy on the ropes
shaking, and I get it.
We're moms. We're, you know,
we're not going to the gym
all the time and working out.
-Amy!
-Yeah.
JEANNIE:
At the same time,
families give us
more motivation to do this.
-BECKYLEE: Nice job!
-(crying)
-I'm so sorry.
-PUNKIN: Good job, Amy.
THERRON:
Your kids are so proud.
Think of those letters.
NICK: Good job.
-AMY: It's obvious I'm not
as physically strong
as everybody else.
But holding this pack
of money, $100,000,
I work at a bank,
so you just forget about it
being worth anything
when it's not yours, you're just
passing it out to people,
taking it in from people.
This would change
my family's life.
PUNKIN:
You did it,
and you're over here.
I couldn't imagine coming
home and telling my husband
that I won it all.
And that's what keeps me going.
(grunts)
I have the sole responsibility
to get $900K
across that bridge.
Make sure
they're hooked in good!
DUSTY:
I'm just worried
about the unknowns.
Going at the end could put
my position at risk.
In the past,
the mountain's keeper
forced our hand
to leave someone behind.
GEOFF:
"When the last person
is crossing,
use this ax
to cut the support rope."
We love you, Bo!
DUSTY:
I'm concerned,
but clock's ticking,
we have to move a lot faster,
and the group,
they need that money across.
Let us know when.
(Dusty whoops)
No bags left behind, baby.
Let's go.
-NICK: Good job!
-(Jeannie laughs)
-PUNKIN: Thank you, Dusty!
-Yeah!
THERRON:
Heart.
(bird screeches)
DUSTY:
It's clear to me
I need to just get across
that bridge.
All right, Dusty.
Dusty, I definitely trust.
We've been strong since day one.
He's very genuine.
Let's go, Dusty!
PUNKIN:
He lends out a hand
when you need it.
Dusty is amazing.
He's an all-around guy.
JENNYE:
He's straddle, which is good.
-NICK: Yeah.
-PUNKIN: There you go.
I mean, he's about
to get across this in no time.
BECKYLEE:
I personally feel
Dusty's a threat
socially, physically
and morally.
Like, h-he's done
no wrong in this game.
So I'm getting
a little more wary of him.
At some point in the game,
we're gonna have to
cut the head off the snake.
Good job, Dusty!
(others cheering)
AMY:
Nice job.
DUSTY:
That was a lot harder
than I expected.
-Good job, Dusty.
-Dusty.
-You killed it.
-(sighs)
DUSTY:
Unfortunately,
the vote last night,
my name was up for debate.
It's probably a good thing
for me to show that
I'm willing to do
whatever it takes
for the group
PUNKIN:
Good job.
because I can't have anyone
out there trying to get me.
(bleep) didn't even
faze you, bro.
That was not easy.
DUSTY:
A little slick right here.
THERRON:
Oh, God. Yeah. Okay.
BECKYLEE:
That was the hardest
obstacle yet.
We're so exhausted and hungry,
and now we have yet another
long trek ahead of us.
(grunts)
JEANNIE:
God, it's so slippery.
Ooh!
BECKYLEE:
You just have to have
your mind kick in
and say, "Forget the pain,
eat the pain, keep on going."
MANU:
The group has successfully
stayed on their route
by crossing the mountain chasm,
but they still face miles
of steep uphill climbing
and arduous rocky terrain
before they reach
their next checkpoint camp.
So you don't stay back here
with me. It's okay.
JENNYE:
Right now,
my knee's hurting pretty bad,
but I'm not
slowing us down like Amy.
AMY:
(grunts) No.
(panting)
(bleep)
JENNYE:
Amy's struggling
helps take the focus away
from my injury.
JENNYE:
I think, uh, Amy fell.
PUNKIN:
Hold on. Hold on.
AMY:
My feet are just numb.
I knew it was bad. I could tell
there was a lot of pressure.
On a scale of one to ten,
my toes were a nine.
Literally not being dramatic.
My-my toe was gonna pop.
JEANNIE:
You want to go in front of me?
I love Dusty,
but a lot of times,
we're going too fast.
-AMY: My feet are so unsteady,
guys.
-PUNKIN: I know.
-NICK: It's okay. It's okay.
-AMY: They're, like, numb.
JEANNIE:
Especially when
the mountain keeper
told us to stick together
as a group.
-I just fell again.
-Here, go ahead.
This is a big drop.
I don't know
(grunts)
DUSTY:
I'm just gonna wait
for a second up here.
(screeching)
MANU:
With weaker members
slowing the group's progress,
the mountain's keeper
has a test.
JEANNIE:
Oh, my God.
MANU:
Who will step up to show that
they can carry their weight
and prove their worth
to the group?
-Look.
-Is that the mountain's keeper?
-Uh-oh.
-Yes, it is.
AMY:
He's got a yellow pack.
PUNKIN:
He's dropping something out.
-Dusty, go.
-Dusty, get it.
-Dusty, go.
-BECKYLEE: Get it, Dusty.
-PUNKIN: Go.
JEANNIE:
Go!
PUNKIN:
Go, Dusty.
Seeing the mountain's keeper
is definitely
a bunch of anxiety because
we know that this means
another twist in the game.
With every duffle bag drop,
nobody is safe.
-What do you think's in it?
-THERRON: Oh, my God.
(wind whistling)
Read it out loud.
DUSTY: "Warning. Conditions
ahead are inhospitable.
"As a result,
there aren't any tents
or supplies
at the next checkpoint."
Ugh.
NICK:
Oh, man.
AMY:
You guys, look.
DENNIS:
The keeper's back.
PUNKIN:
The mountain keeper's back.
DUSTY:
"You have bivies on your back
"and these three bags
arriving now containing
"food and cooking utensils.
"Will three of you decide
"to carry these bags
up a steep hill
"in order to feed the group
"at the next camp?
"Or will nobody step forward
"to carry the burden
for the group
"and all of you go
without food for tonight?
"The choice is yours.
The mountain's keeper."
BECKYLEE:
So, the mountain keeper
drops off
three massive containers
that we are
supposed to carry on
with us another
two, three hours
uphill if we want
to eat tonight.
Those are pretty dang big.
DUSTY:
I do think
they're gonna be awkward.
BECKYLEE:
Food is energy in this game.
When you feel so exhausted,
to think about
not eating again is, like,
"I can't go through that."
It's gonna be a long hike
-if we decide to carry it.
-JEANNIE: I know.
-DENNIS: Oh, yeah.
-Oh, girl!
-(laughs)
We're gonna starve. There's
no way we're carrying these.
PUNKIN:
Should we carry them and risk
-not making checkpoint
'cause they are not light?
-Right.
Or do we leave them?
NICK:
Obviously, with the conditions,
missing any kind of camp
would be terrible.
-We don't want to miss a camp.
-Right? I mean
JEANNIE:
I don't know.
Whoever's carrying,
-that's their decision.
-NICK: Yeah.
I mean, this is not an easy hike
with all those
without these things.
-JEANNIE: Look at this.
-NICK: We're losing daylight,
so we're gonna
have to make a decision.
(sighs)
BECKYLEE:
I don't know.
Let's take it.
I wouldn't be able to carry
my backpack and that, though.
DUSTY:
I trust Punkin. I think
she's going out of her way
to really try to
make big decisions.
I think she tries her best
to be a leader, which I respect.
I'll carry an extra backpack.
-You think so?
-Yeah, I can do two backpacks.
DENNIS:
At this very moment of the game,
I know that people are still
gonna try to target me, so
I think this is
a great opportunity for myself
to show that I am a team player,
but also to save my game.
I could do it, too.
DUSTY:
Dennis is really quick
to volunteer,
which I think
isn't super genuine,
but we need food,
so I appreciate Dennis
helping the group.
-BECKYLEE: Who wants to take it?
-THERRON: I'll take it.
JEANNIE:
Okay. Who else is taking
the other one?
I can carry it.
JENNYE: I don't volunteer
to step forward
because of my injury.
I'm hoping that I didn't put
my name out there
on the chopping block
for the vote tonight.
-DUSTY: Are you good on that?
Punkin, good?
-PUNKIN: Yeah.
The smaller the numbers get,
the more selfishly
you have to play.
The relationships I have
with Beckylee
and Therron are solid,
but I think it's very wise
to volunteer
just to show everybody
I'm willing to take one
for the team
and carry one of
these bags because what's
in this bag
is gonna benefit us all,
and we all get to eat tonight.
How heavy is this?
I don't think
it's that heavy, but
DUSTY:
Okay, really quick
AMY:
Punkin, Therron, and Beckylee
volunteer to carry
their food to camp,
and then Dusty, Nick
-Damn, Punkin.
-AMY: and Dennis
volunteer to carry
their backpacks,
and me, Jeannie,
and Jennye just have to
carry our own weight
and our own packs up the hill.
PUNKIN:
All right, let's do it.
AMY:
I'm worried
because I don't want
to be seen as weak
for the vote tonight.
THERRON:
That way!
PUNKIN:
That's a lot of uphill.
DENNIS:
Are we giving them
a little space?
AMY:
Yeah, give them space.
This is hard, dude.
-AMY: Six feet.
-BECKYLEE: This is really hard.
DENNIS:
You got to be careful with that.
NICK:
It is slick, dude.
BECKYLEE:
Can we take a break?
-I'm hurting.
-DUSTY: Yeah.
(others panting, grunting)
-Who has my bag?
-DENNIS: I do.
JENNYE:
Who's carrying backpacks?
-BECKYLEE: Dusty, Nick
-PUNKIN: Dusty, Nick,
-Dennis.
-(sighs)
Hey, you guys.
-You climbed that right there
-Yep.
with about 75 pounds
of food on your back,
so I appreciate you.
-NICK: Thank you so much.
-I'm not just saying that.
NICK:
Amy's an unbelievable person.
Even if she's struggling,
Amy is so good
at creating relationships.
Everyone loves her.
She's the mom of this group.
She's very much like my mom.
My mom is
the senior vice president
of a regional bank,
and I've watched her
through the years just grind,
make her way up.
She's up at 5:00.
She doesn't sleep till 11:00.
I mean,
she's a go-getter as well.
My parents are,
uh, highly competitive,
so I think
it's just trickled down,
I guess, from my family,
and I'm gonna make them proud
and get to the summit.
Take your time.
-Let's wrap it up.
-We should be.
Sorry I'm being
a warden right now.
I'm just trying
to get there at this point.
The sun's going down.
Being the person in the front,
I feel a lot of pressure
to make sure we keep moving
and get a good pace
-Yeah, we on the move.
-BECKYLEE: Let's finish this.
Let's finish it.
THERRON:
because the last thing I want
is for us not to make
the checkpoint.
PUNKIN:
Make sure y'all
are grabbing the plants.
It is so slippery.
Ooh. Be careful when
you're grabbing these.
There's just spears all in them.
JEANNIE:
This hike, it's so hard.
NICK:
There's one of those spears.
Okay, thank you.
And then here
we got spiky plants
that will, like,
just cut your shirt off.
-Ugh.
-Yeah.
Geez.
All right, keep going.
AMY:
It's okay, Jeannie.
You're doing great.
It's really tough.
It's really, it really is.
THERRON:
Oh, God, I can see the lake.
PUNKIN:
Oh, my gosh.
That is so beautiful.
Oh, my God. (sighs)
-THERRON: Yeah.
-JEANNIE: Whoo, we see the lake.
DUSTY:
Yeah?
THERRON:
That look
That lake is amazing.
We got some
beachfront property tonight.
It's beautiful.
-AMY: Holy crap.
-THERRON: The beach!
-(Beckylee whoops)
-Oh, my God.
PUNKIN:
We made it. It is so beautiful.
(Jeannie whoops)
-BECKYLEE: Oh, my gosh.
-PUNKIN: Yes.
-BECKYLEE: The beachfront.
-(Punkin whoops)
Whoo.
Great job, man. Great job.
Good job. Thank you.
This is so pretty.
I always love
getting to the checkpoint,
but, oh, my God,
it is so beautiful.
-DENNIS: Oh, boy.
-THERRON: How cold is it?
PUNKIN:
Very.
JENNYE:
If you are not humbled
in the presence of the mountains
and where you are,
then you're
an ungrateful (bleep).
JEANNIE:
Oh, my God. It's so cold.
(others grunting, moaning)
-THERRON: This is so clear.
-PUNKIN: We made it.
AMY:
I know the food's gonna be
worth it, but
-damn.
-JEANNIE: This view
is beautiful.
AMY:
This is beautiful.
I don't think I've ever seen
anything as beautiful
-in my whole life.
-PUNKIN: Me neither.
(indistinct conversations)
(whistles)
MANU:
Hey, guys.
COMPETITORS:
Hi! Hey!
Welcome to Lochnagar.
One of the most beautiful places
on the mountain.
Come up and grab a seat.
THERRON:
We just got to camp.
You know, we're celebrating.
We're having a good time,
and then Manu shows up,
and it immediately
dampens the mood.
This is probably the last space
that you'll get where you'll be
able to look and see how
pristine and beautiful it is.
Gorgeous.
MANU:
So, I hear the mountain's keeper
surprised you
with a bit of a food drop.
COMPETITORS:
Yes, sir. Yeah. Yes.
Who had to carry
the food supplies?
Wow. Were they heavy?
-Yes.
-(laughter)
Uphill? Yeah, definitely heavy.
Was that a hard decision?
BECKYLEE:
Food is energy in this game,
so we need all the energy
we can get,
-so it was worth it.
-Mm-hmm.
And what happened to your bags?
Uh, three guys carried our bags.
Okay, put your hands up.
Okay, put your hand up if you
didn't carry any extra baggage.
Okay.
So you pretty much know
who's the strongest,
who's in the middle,
who's behind.
So, what do you think
tonight's vote's gonna be about?
Who carried their weight.
Who carried the weight?
The extra weight
and the weight for the team.
Jeannie, are you just exhausted
or you're being quiet
for a reason?
No, I'm exhausted, but,
when I came here,
seeing this beautiful scenery,
I just miss my family.
How do you think
that's affecting you?
Right now, not good. (laughs)
'Cause I look weak, but
you know what? I look strong.
You know, I was strong,
really strong for this team,
and so I'm having
a little bit of a meltdown
right now, and I think
I deserve that. (laughs)
MANU:
Well, guys,
it's time to think about
who it is you're gonna steal
the money from
and send from the mountain.
It's time to make a vote.
AMY:
I feel nervous because
no one wants to be seen
as a weak link,
and I didn't feel like
today was my day.
I'm gonna give you
a moment to think about it.
AMY:
But I hope that my team
sees my worth
'cause I know I deserve
a spot at the summit.
Good luck.
I'll be back.
(wind whistling)
AMY:
I'm worried.
If my name's
on the chopping block tonight,
um, I'm-I'm definitely
holding the group up.
So tonight's vote,
I'm trusting that Nick
and Dusty are gonna
keep me safe.
Ah, man.
-Can I join this?
-BECKYLEE: Yes.
Or is that too much?
BECKYLEE:
Let's make it quick, though.
NICK:
What are you thinking?
I feel bad, but--
Dennis has been on
the outs for a little bit,
so he would be
the obvious choice,
but honestly, Jennye.
She's such a tough woman
with a hard exterior shell.
We don't have
the strongest relationship,
and also, she is injured,
so I don't know what to do.
(scoffs, smacks lips)
JENNYE:
Most people aren't
talking with me,
so that's why I feel
like my name's out there.
I don't think
I'm the best person
to go home 'cause I know
I can still make it
up the mountain
with or without the injury,
so I need to let people know
that I can still make it
without them discounting me.
I struggled today
and I understand that.
Honestly, how is your knee?
It's not getting any better,
but it happened on day two.
We are on day nine,
and I won't quit, so
-We know. (laughs)
-We know.
Dennis and Jennye's names
are both being thrown out there.
I'm really worried
about her knee.
If she just can't make it
and she gives up,
her money's gone, too,
but we've been making
checkpoints,
so I can't rationalize
voting for her.
I think Jennye right now is
trying to roughen up
the feathers
and trying to sway people.
I'm not leaving without a fight,
but right now,
my name is still
out in the open,
so I think for me to stay,
I got to be sneaky.
As much as I think
Jennye can tough it up
-Yeah.
-her knee is (bleep).
I know. I know.
And we're gonna get some steep
incline going up the mountain.
JEANNIE:
Yeah.
The obvious one that everybody
wants is Dennis, right?
But I see Jennye going next.
We cannot lose her money now
like we did with Tony and Bo.
I'm always gonna vote for
someone who is, you can't trust.
I will always vote for someone
-like that.
-PUNKIN: Yeah.
-AMY: Mm-hmm.
JENNYE:
No matter how much
they try to sound good
for all y'all
and all that kind of stuff.
Oh, yeah.
He's, he's so fake.
-So
-PUNKIN: Even earlier
when you were coming
off the mountain, I was,
like, trying to help you.
I'm, like, dude.
(chuckles)
Jennye's name is
being thrown around tonight
to be voted off
because of her knee,
but I'm gonna have to vote
Dennis tonight
because he has to be gone
over Jennye.
I can't trust
that Dennis will have my back,
and I know Jennye,
for a fact, will have my back.
(quietly):
Come over here and talk.
Dennis has been
on the chopping block
the last three or four nights.
That is perfect for me.
The longer Dennis is
in this game,
the less people are
looking at me.
I feel like I can trust Amy
to vote with me.
For my game, I'm trying
to keep Dennis at all costs.
So, it's got to be unanimous?
Can I not vote for her?
NICK:
That's the decision
we all have to make.
AMY:
Paranoia sets in for everybody.
Nick, he started playing
hard and fast.
Nick saying that I need
to vote for Jennye
because it's gonna be unanimous.
I don't want to vote for Jennye,
but I was very loyal
to Rose and Geoff,
so now I start
doubting myself, like,
maybe my senses aren't as good
as I think they are.
Here he comes.
Okay, guys.
You made your decision?
Let's grab a seat.
So, what names are being
thrown around tonight?
Dennis and Jennye.
Dennis, twice you've had
your head on the chopping block.
How does it feel?
Um, it doesn't feel good
to be in this position.
Regardless,
I have still kept my head high.
I don't hold a grudge
in this game.
I think we're all
great people here,
and we have a lot to learn
from each other.
Who nominated Dennis?
I did.
-MANU: Why?
-JENNYE: I get from Dennis
just a whole lot of (bleep).
And he knows
he's in the hot seat,
he knows he has to make
good relationship,
he just knows he has to make,
he has to make up for stuff.
That's what people do when
their backs are behind the wall.
It's a little bit--
It's a little too late.
-It's pretty personal. How do
you feel about that, Dennis?
-That does sound
really personal, and
I'm sorry you feel that way.
People have said a lot of things
about me in this game that,
you know, have been true
and I've owned up to it.
You know, I really hope
that people see me
as a trustworthy person.
I truly mean that.
I'm gonna have
to nominate Jennye as well,
'cause she dropped my name.
MANU:
Are you
-still feeling injured?
-JENNYE: Yes.
But I'm still just pushing
through it.
MANU:
If I said to you,
"Let's cross this lake
and climb this mountain
right now"
would you do it?
Yes. I would.
There's a huge difference
between being weak
and being injured,
and I am not a weak person.
Jeannie, what do you think
tonight's vote's gonna be about?
I'm close with Dennis, you know?
Jennye, too.
But for me, the vote tonight
is who I could trust.
It's gonna be
who I want to go up
to the summit with,
who will have my back.
That's all.
Okay, then.
Let's take a vote.
JENNYE:
Dennis is scuzzy,
to be quite honest,
when it comes to gameplay.
He's playing the game too hard
and not successfully.
If you're gonna vote for Dennis,
raise your hand.
JENNYE:
He needs to leave this mountain
by being voted off today.
(wind whistling)
Let's take a vote.
If you're gonna vote for Dennis,
raise your hand.
One, two, three.
AMY:
Four.
Oh, and Amy.
That's four votes for Dennis.
AMY:
I thought the vote
was gonna be unanimous.
And three people
raise their hand. I'm like
"To vote Dennis out?"
And Punkin was like, "Yeah."
I was like, "Me, too."
Put your hand up
if you're gonna vote
for Jennye.
Therron, Nick
Beckylee,
Dennis and Jeannie.
Four votes to five.
You've chosen
who you want off this mountain.
Jennye,
your climb to the summit
has come to an end.
Okay, grab your stuff.
Bring the money out,
share it amongst the group.
(sighs)
MANU:
Well, I guess tonight's vote
is about getting rid
of the weak.
(sniffles)
(exhales, sniffles)
(sniffling)
JENNYE:
I'm proud of myself.
There were times
that I was truly scared,
and there were times that I
thought that I might not be able
to keep going.
But I did, every single time.
I would die on this mountain
before I quit.
PUNKIN:
Meow, meow.
(laughing)
JENNYE:
But I also feel betrayed.
Dennis escaped the noose again.
-It hurts.
-BECKLYEE: Bye, Jennye.
-Bye, Jennye.
-Bye, Jennye.
-JENNYE: I think between
trusting Dennis and eating bugs,
depending on the bugs,
I'd eat the bugs.
(grunting)
Tonight,
you're camping beside
a lake.
Either side of it, sheer cliffs.
There's only one way to go
tomorrow.
That way.
Have a good rest.
Think about your strategy.
Enjoy your night.
DENNIS:
I'm ecstatic.
Jennye got voted out.
I loved seeing the defeat
in Jennye's eyes.
My back was up against the wall
once again,
but I survived another day.
And let me tell you,
it feels good.
-(chuckles)
-PUNKIN: Did you get it already?
NICK:
You got it?
I mean, I'm
That's definitely the toughest.
Oof.
Are you okay, Ames? You're sad?
I don't like anybody
questioning my judgment
or my character. Nick,
I thought you said
it was gonna be unanimous.
I did not tell you that.
Why are you saying that?
PUNKIN:
Wait, what?
Ooh, I did
(stammers)
I thought she was sad
'cause Jennye was gone.
NICK:
Um, right now, my mind's
all over the place, 'cause
I thought I could trust Amy.
Amy was basically scapegoating
her vote and putting it on me
right there
in front of everyone.
You were, like, trying
to justify why you voted one way
by putting it on me.
I didn't say anything.
I said to you,
"Who are you voting for?"
-And I said-- You said--
you said, "You need to vote"
-And I
-You told me to vote for Jennye.
Because you said
-Absolute--
-"This is my strategy."
-I said, "The group over there
is discussing Jennye
because Jennye's worried
about her knee."
I'm literally stunned.
I mean, you
I'm-I'm shocked. I mean,
this little voice is going, "No,
Nick told me it was gonna be
a unanimous vote."
So it's gonna be unanimous?
Can I not vote for her?
AMY:
I'm feeling upset right now.
I'm pretty confident that
(chuckles)
I heard you say that.
I didn't want
to vote for Jennye.
Jennye was close with me.
That's why I was confused
when they said Dennis.
And I just-- I said, "Oh."
I thought we were all voting
for Jennye out.
PUNKIN:
You could have if you wanted.
-I didn't want
to vote Jennye out.
-Oh.
NICK:
Wait, hold on,
you just said
that I told you who to vote for.
-Did you just say that?
-Nick, you told--
You made it clear to me
I needed to vote Jennye off.
You came up to me and said,
"What are you doing?"
I said, "They're discussing
Jennye right now
because Jennye's knee."
Is that what I said or not?
Yes.
Did I tell you
to vote for Jennye?
You made me feel that way, yes.
That's just not true.
I didn't tell you
who to vote for.
I don't want to be a result
for any way you vote.
She's trying to put
a target on me to keep it off
of her to stir up more stuff.
And everyone can vote
for whoever they want.
I just don't want
to be the reason
that you voted
whichever way you wanted.
Right when the vote was
just cast and everyone got up,
you looked directly at me
and said,
"You said
it would be unanimous."
I do think Amy needs to be next.
You're a risk to my game,
and I'm gonna be leading
that charge,
so buckle up.
We're about to start playing.

Your only way to get to the
summit is from the other side
of the lake.
Who knows how to swim?
This is unlike anything
that I've ever done.
AMY:
The numbers are dwindling.
We only have four days left.
DENNIS:
I wake up to Amy
talking smack about me.
-NICK: Jump!
-PUNKIN: Nobody runs
and jumps off a cliff.
-Like, who does that?
-(shrieking)
-"Be warned: each fall
will have consequences
at the next vote."
THERRON:
I honestly wish I was--
been the person
voted out yesterday.
(exclaiming)
Your challenge
is to reach the summit.
NICK:
Damn, look how high that is.
MANU:
You'll only be as fast
as your slowest member.
(screams)
MANU:
Last time,
the group passed the midpoint
in their journey.
THERRON (crying):
Oh, my God.
I'm not an adrenaline junkie.
I do not get on rollercoasters.
I do not do stuff like this.
-DUSTY: Therron!
-(screams)
MANU:
And their true characters
have been revealed.
Raise your hand if it's Dennis
you want to send off
the mountain.
DENNIS:
Jennye literally just blew up
her own (bleep) game.
(laughs)
JENNYE:
Dennis is a liar,
and I'm gonna hold him
accountable to his (bleep) lies.
NICK:
This is not a game
where you want to go around
making enemies.
(laughs):
This could get nasty.
(laughs)
MANU:
There's no hiding
JEANNIE:
Come on, Pati!
MANU:
on this mountain.
I told you a rule
on the first day.
You must travel together.
-I don't see them.
-DUSTY: Just keep going.
I wouldn't stop.
You've not been
staying together.
-One of you has
been going too slow.
-(grunts)
DUSTY:
Pati's a little bit of an anchor
we're dragging up the hill.
MANU:
and one of you
has been going too fast.
Dusty!
I guess I'm doing this alone,
then.
MANU:
You will vote
for either Pati or Dusty.
I want to see a vote of hands
for Pati.
AMY:
You think I wanted
to vote for Pati?
I'm not voting for Pati.
I just can't vote against Dusty.
DENNIS:
I'm sorry.
MANU:
Tonight, with only
five days left
-to reach the summit
-(shouts)
-BECKYLEE: I'm worried
right now
-I don't want to do it.
BECKYLEE:
Now we have to pick up
the pace to make up
-that time.
-(shouts)
MANU:
the group is down to nine
-Ah
-(grunts)
MANU:
and nearly $900,000
in their backpacks.
AMY:
You can definitely tell
it's getting heavier.
MANU:
Dennis is feeling the heat.
DENNIS:
It's tough to see Pati go
'cause she's had my back,
and next elimination,
I know everyone wants me out.
THERRON:
Dennis would
be the obvious choice.
PUNKIN:
Oh, yeah. He's so fake.
MANU:
Lines will be drawn
between weak and strong.
AMY:
I don't like anybody questioning
my judgement or my character.
MANU:
Who will come out on top?
I get from Dennis
just a whole lot of (bleep).
MANU:
And who do they need
DUSTY:
I can't have anyone out there
-trying to get me.
-Oh, my God!
MANU:
to make it to the summit?
-I can't make it.
-PUNKIN: Jennye, you okay?
This would be hard on her knees.
(shouts)
DENNIS:
Jennye has been trying
to get me out,
so injure yourself.
-Get off this mountain.
-JEANNIE: Hang on.
Quit.
People are gonna hate
that I said that, too,
-but it's whatever.
-(screams)
(wind whistling)
DUSTY:
I hated the position
I was in tonight.
I think I literally
stopped breathing.
It was a complete shock.
Although I'm thankful
that I'm still here,
I hate that Pati
was voted off in that way,
especially when we have
people like Dennis
still hanging around just
being just a little bit
of a snake.
NICK:
Tonight, with Pati voted out,
I did lose a number
in our alliance,
and as the group shrinks,
the-the votes are gonna
get harder, right?
And that's where you really
have to make sure
you have the numbers.
NICK:
Dusty has kind of made his way
into our alliance,
but at the same time,
the problem with Dusty
is he's a threat.
So I'm a little worried
right now.
Okay.
I can't trust that (bleep) guy.
NICK:
Every vote now, I think,
is gonna be really close.
It's only gonna
get harder from here.
Right now,
my mind's all over the place.
Anything can happen
in this game,
and I'm not 100% sure
that Dusty has my back.
(wind whistling)
(birds chirping)
JEANNIE:
Ugh, my God.
I don't mind cold,
but this is so cold.
AMY:
So I'm gonna go ahead and put
the food on. What do you think?
JEANNIE:
Yeah, yeah. Let's do that.
It feels good cooking.
It feels a little like--
a little bit like at home.
-AMY: A little bit, right?
-Yeah, it does.
In last night's vote,
when Pati hugged me,
she said, "Don't trust Nick."
Um, that really hit me,
because Nick
is someone that I want
to work with,
and that's concerning to me.
So I'm gonna have to use
a little caution.
It's a warning,
and I think I need to kind of
watch out for that.
And as much as we love
everybody, I think Dennis
-might be in trouble.
Just watch.
-Yeah.
-Yeah, yeah.
-Just see what you think.
AMY:
The good thing for me
is we've got somebody out here
who's blatantly
looking at all of us
in the face and lying to us.
So at this point,
why are we gonna
keep him around?
Hopefully,
Dennis will seal his fate today.
-I kind of agree. We have to
-(whispers): Start paying
attention.
JEANNIE:
Yeah, yeah.
Listen, we all know it's a game,
and we got to do
what's best for us
and what we think will make us
go further through the game.
-AMY: (laughs) Mom squad
-Yeah.
AMY:
trying to figure it out.
MANU:
Over halfway into their
100-mile journey to the summit,
the unforgiving terrain
has taken a steep toll
on the group.
DENNIS:
My God. I am sore.
MANU:
While some injuries sustained
are mere flesh wounds
PUNKIN (Australian accent):
I have broken toenails, mate.
MANU:
others are more serious.
-THERRON: Dennis.
-(bleep)
(shouts)
JENNYE:
I am hiding
a significant knee injury.
(shouts)
Holy (bleep).
MANU:
If the injuries slow
the group down,
it will jeopardize
their chances of making it
to the summit
by the 14-day deadline.
(wind whistling)
BECKYLEE:
So, Dusty, you're back in front?
-Do you-- would you guys
like me to be?
-Yeah.
-Sure.
-BECKYLEE: I think you're
-a really good leader.
-Sure.
DUSTY:
I've been chosen as a leader,
so I'm really concerned
about time at this point.
We have a checkpoint to make.
We're definitely not making
the same mistake again,
-so I'm not too concerned
about that.
-What's our strategy, like,
to keep everybody
together, though?
Are we just gonna
figure it out along the way?
If you think you're slower,
you just can't be in back.
-Okay.
-If you think you're
one of the slowest,
-do not be in the very back.
-Okay.
I got to be able
to keep an eye on you
-so I can talk to you, too.
-Okay.
We-we're not gonna make
the same mistake again.
We're gonna be fine.
BECKYLEE:
Based on the map, I think
we're going mostly downhill.
Downhill, yeah.
It's gonna be just make sure
we're making really good steps,
and if I lead us to a bad area,
just yell at me.
-JEANNIE: Let's go.
-PUNKIN: Let's get to going.
-BECKYLEE: Okay, let's go.
-JEANNIE and PUNKIN: Day nine!
-NICK: Day nine, baby.
-JEANNIE: Let's do this.
-(whoops)
PUNKIN: Almost $100K each
that we're carrying around.
BECKYLEE: You can definitely
tell it's getting heavier.
MANU:
Starting at checkpoint
camp five,
the group now faces
a challenging seven-mile trek
to reach a breathtaking
alpine lake
that marks
their next checkpoint camp.
From there,
they must cross the lake
and attempt
a harrowing glacial traverse
in order to reach the final
three checkpoint camps
on their way to the summit.
The stress on their bodies
is taking a toll.
To make matters worse,
today they must navigate
steep downhill terrain,
cross a deep ravine via ropes,
and ascend a rigorous incline
to reach Lochnagar,
which marks checkpoint camp six.
DENNIS:
My God.
Ooh.
Pati got eliminated last night,
and that vote yesterday
easily could've been me.
Not everyone is as lucky as me.
I think every step I take,
I feel in my glutes.
So now I need
to build relationships
and do a lot of damage control,
because this next elimination
I think my name
is gonna get brought up,
and I don't want that to happen.
-JENNYE: Ooh.
-THERRON: Ooh, this one's
deep right here.
-You see my foot?
-Yes.
-Keep sidestepping.
-JEANNIE: Careful.
I'm using-- I'm using
the big plants.
-Crazy right here.
-Ooh.
-Yep.
-Ooh, ooh, ooh.
-Do not put your foot there.
-Yeah. Okay.
-(both laugh)
JEANNIE:
Watch out here, too.
It's a big hole.
THERRON (laughs):
That-that looks solid,
but it ain't.
-Ooh. Ooh!
-(gasps)
PUNKIN:
Whoa. Are you okay?
-BECKYLEE: What?
-See-- oh, no.
-DENNIS: My God.
-AMY: Oh, God! Ugh.
(Amy grunts)
Hold my backpack.
(shouts)
DUSTY:
I felt so bad
because Amy came rolling down,
and I wasn't sure
if she was hurt.
JEANNIE:
Watch out here, too.
It's a big hole.
-Ooh. Ooh!
-Whoa.
-NICK: Are you okay?
-PUNKIN: Are you okay?
AMY:
I'm okay. Yes.
-I just wanted a shortcut, bro.
-(laughs)
(bleep)
-AMY: Did you push me, Becks?
-(laughs)
I'm trying to make it
to final eight, Amy.
Oh, my gosh.
DUSTY:
I personally respect Amy a lot
because she started off slow,
and she really toughened up.
-Happy to, happy to
-That was incredible.
BECKYLEE:
I am so impressed that
you're not injured from that.
-(laughter)
-DENNIS: Did you fall?
(bird screeches)
BECKYLEE:
I think we're going
mostly downhill.
-PUNKIN: Downhill.
-JEANNIE: I thought downhill
was bad for knees.
PUNKIN:
It is.
-Jennye, you okay?
-Yep.
Okay.
JENNYE:
On day two,
I fell and hurt my knee.
People know about my injury,
but what I don't think people
understand is how severe,
because I know that
people can be, you know, hyenas.
So I need to keep it quiet.
PUNKIN:
We got to make sure
we watch for Jennye. Her knee.
Oh, yeah. Have you talked
to her about it recently?
She says she's fine.
She won't talk about it.
DENNIS:
With Jennye,
she has a knee injury.
People should look at Jennye
to get voted out,
but if I call her out on this,
people are gonna think
I'm just backstabbing
and being more deceiving,
but she is definitely
on my hit list, for sure.
(bird squawks)
-JEANNIE: Oh, my God.
-AMY: No
JEANNIE:
Ugh. No way.
DENNIS:
Well, this looks like it sucks.
DUSTY:
We got a little bit
of a note up there.
-(panting)
-Oh, God.
AMY:
"Your path to the summit
is blocked
by two jagged cliffs
65 feet apart"
-(all moaning)
-AMY: "To continue, each of you
"will crawl across
the parallel ropes
to the other side."
Crawl across?
JEANNIE:
What? Crawl across?
AMY:
"Unfortunately, for some of you,
there's no way to do this
without looking straight down."
-Oh.
-DENNIS: Whoa.
-BECKYLEE: Crawl
-JEANNIE: We got to look down.
DUSTY:
Oh, swell.
Oh, my God.
(sighs)
I never thought
it could get harder and harder.
I have to crawl and see heights.
Every other obstacle,
I closed my eyes,
and I don't think I'll be able
to close my eyes on this one.
I mean, holy geez,
this is insane.
(Dennis exhales)
(wind whistling)
AMY:
"Your path to the summit
is blocked
by two jagged cliffs
65 feet apart."
-(all moaning)
-AMY: "To continue,
"each of you will crawl
"across the parallel ropes
to the other side.
"There's no way to do this
without looking straight down.
Don't lose your focus,
and don't drop your money."
Mentally, I'm in a great spot.
Physically, I'm not so good.
Okay, Dusty, let's go.
My toes are very bruised.
Again, the obstacles
take a long time,
and we know we need to make
checkpoint tonight,
because the conditions
are getting
a lot more treacherous.
MANU:
Given the precariousness
of this ravine crossing,
each group member
must navigate it alone,
leaving the weighty
responsibility
of transporting
the entire group's money
on the last person to cross.
So the last person
is responsible
for getting $900,000
across to the other side.
So, does anybody feel
especially comfortable
with handling the bags?
So, now we have to decide
who we want to send all this
money across to the other side.
I'm really struggling.
This game is so unpredictable,
and we've had several encounters
with the mountain's keeper.
She could kick someone
off the mountain
or reward someone's gameplay,
so there is more
that goes into this decision
than just picking who goes next
because the money is everything.
Ultimately, we have to decide
who we kind of trust
in this game.
DENNIS:
I-I would be fine with it.
-BECKYLEE: You'd be? Okay.
-DENNIS: Yeah.
I played this game
really hard from day one,
but at the point
we are right now,
I think it's really important
for my game
to show that I am a team player,
but man, if that mountain keeper
comes along
and there's an advantage,
bring it on.
-We just can't screw this up
and lose everything.
-DENNIS: Yeah.
It looks like a drop from here.
JENNYE:
Oh, Dennis.
Having someone you absolutely
100% know you can't trust
in charge of the money
is terrifying.
I don't know what happened,
but we need
to change the consensus.
AMY:
Nick, do you want
to go first?
NICK:
Yeah. Sure.
I don't mind going second.
NICK:
Let's go boy, girl, boy, girl.
Yeah.
-DUSTY: Dennis last?
-BECKYLEE: Yeah.
AMY:
All right, Nick.
Figure it out for us.
(screeching)
NICK:
Heights are not my thing.
Everyone in the group
knows that.
That's kind of why
they chose me to go first
so I could get it over with,
but I don't have too much time
to get across this.
(grunts)
Yeah, you got to look down.
That's a fact.
I could not look forward
because I had to see
where my hands were going.
I'm staring straight down
into this creek,
and I realize how high
I really am,
and just seeing nothing
but a straight fall.
This is not fun.
Guys, guys, look how
wobbly the rope is right now.
(chuckles) There's no way
I'm gonna make it.
-65 feet across?
-PUNKIN: Yep.
DENNIS:
That's gonna be really hard.
(Nick chuckles nervously)
Oh.
I'm trying to be
in, like, a reverse V.
I realize there's no way
that I'm gonna be able
to make it all the way
to the other side
with this strategy.
Steady, steady!
NICK:
So, I drop to my knees,
get off my feet,
and kind of just shuffle
across this thing.
(panting)
The ropes are digging
into my legs,
and it's tough to keep going.
(whoops)
And you know it gets wobbly
in that middle.
(groans)
BECKYLEE:
Hurry up.
NICK:
Awkward spot.
It's still wobbling
a little bit.
Yeah, he's still rolling.
(whoops)
Of course it says
you have to look down.
(panting)
-BECKYLEE: Good job! Whoo!
-AMY: Good job, Nick!
DENNIS:
Go, Nick!
AMY:
Good job, Nick!
NICK:
Halfway, you realize your arms
are about to fall off.
One slip and you may not be
able to pull yourself back up,
so I'm very worried
that not everyone
is gonna make it across
and we lose their money.
Oh, my God. This is crazy.
I don't know. I might have
to tap out. I don't know.
I don't know if I can do this.
NICK:
Yes, you can.
Oh, my God!
I-I'm, like, I'm so scared!
NICK:
Knees are gonna go inside,
feet go outside.
You go to get your foot outside.
Like this?
Please, God
I have to close my eyes.
BECKYLEE:
We need to pick up the pace.
Jeannie, get some
momentum going!
I have to do this.
I want to reach
the summit so bad.
Nice. Just keep moving.
Just get in a rhythm, Jeannie.
AMY:
You got it, Mama!
Oh, my God. Oh, my God!
Come on, Jeannie.
No, hey. You can do it.
-Come on.
-Oh, my God!
-Keep your balance!
-NICK: Yep.
She's exhausted.
NICK:
You're almost there, Jeannie.
JEANNIE:
Uh, my arms are shaking.
My legs are shaking.
I feel like I'm almost having,
like, a panic attack.
Everything is going
through your head.
I got to think of my loved ones.
My husband, my kids,
who'd say, "You got this."
I do a lot of crazy things,
but nothing like this at all.
I haven't traveled a lot,
but I do have a hobby,
and my hobby
is riding motorcycles.
(squeals)
And me and my kids
trained for the Spartan Race.
JEANNIE'S DAUGHTER:
Yeah, Mom!
I was so afraid
I couldn't do it, but I did it.
I didn't finish in time,
but I did it.
My kids told me, Mom,
you'll regret it if you
do not challenge yourself.
You're gonna come home
and you're gonna
regret that you did not do that.
(gasps)
When you're exhausted,
when you can't do any more,
that means you're only 50% done.
You still got 50 more percent,
so get up and go.
THERRON:
The mountain is no joke.
It really drives you insane.
-NICK: Nice!
-AMY: Almost there!
Almost there!
There you go! Speed it up!
-(team whooping)
-PUNKIN: Go, Jeannie!
I think I'm gonna throw up.
THERRON:
At home, I'm not encountering
any of these situations.
The very first obstacle,
when we're holding hands
and we can fall off, scared.
-T-The, the bridge,
I was scared.
-(hisses, gasps)
But that rope and the cliff
and this cat crawl, too high.
Too high.
It just feels like the end.
I didn't prepare myself
to jump off of cliffs
over and over again.
It makes me want to leave.
I'm over this (bleep).
I'm upset.
I'm just so frustrated. I'm mad.
I'm angry I have to keep
doing this stupid (bleep),
and I don't want to do it.
-(gasps)
-Oh!
I don't want to do it.
I have no arm strength left.
Ooh, that was a good drop.
So what names are being
thrown around tonight?
NICK:
I think the majority's
on Dennis right now.
THERRON:
I would personally
like Jennye or Amy to go.
AMY:
Paranoia sets in for everybody.
(wind whistling)
I'm so done. I really want
to turn back right now.
-Therron!
-Hey!
Once you're on there,
you got it!
At home, when you're crying,
it's a sign of weakness,
and it's not that I'm weak,
it's just I'm being faced
with real-life fear.
Come on! If this old fart
did it, you can do it!
Okay.
-(laughs) I told you!
-Hey, you got it, Therron!
NICK:
Come on. Yep.
JEANNIE:
Nice and easy, Therron.
NICK:
Feet on the outside.
Oop, that works, too, yeah.
JEANNIE:
You got it!
All right, Therron!
You got this!
DUSTY:
Go, Therron!
AMY:
That's Therron's
kryptonite, so
he just needs
to keep looking forward.
THERRON:
I hate this with my whole soul.
-Nice and easy.
-Therron, you're good, man.
You don't want to start over.
-NICK: When he gets to
that halfway point
-JEANNIE: Yeah. Yeah.
and has to look straight
down and sees how high it is
Oh, my God. I was so scared.
I was crying.
THERRON:
Can't do this.
-JEANNIE: I feel so bad for him.
-NICK: Don't think
about the end,
just think about next step.
-Yep.
-You'll get there in no time.
-JEANNIE: One after the other.
-AMY: Hold on, T. Hold on.
T, you're way over
halfway there. You're way over.
(panting, grunting)
-NICK: Yeah, T!
-JEANNIE: Nice!
DUSTY:
Attaboy, Therron!
Damn, I feel like
I'm underestimating myself.
That was really high, but
I'm proud I got on the ropes.
I was two seconds away
from asking to go home.
I'm conquering
a lot of my fears.
JENNYE:
I think Dennis is not
the most, um, trustworthy.
You're probably more trustworthy
than Dennis is.
I hope so.
JENNYE:
I was gonna say,
I prefer it to be Dusty.
Dennis has had
two shoulder surgeries
and blah, blah, blah.
We could also say it on that.
Remember two nights ago?
He was complaining
about shoulder pain?
(moans, pants)
How you feeling?
Yo, I-I felt those
two shoulder surgeries.
Oh, my God.
JENNYE:
The group definitely
feels the same as me
except that no one wants
to ruffle any feathers
and no one wants to seem--
to be the one to call people out
on their (bleep),
but I definitely don't mind.
I don't want him with my money.
I don't want him
carrying my bag.
I don't even want to sit here
and have a conversation
with him.
You can sit there
and complain about it
or you can make the change.
So basically, we just
had a talk and decided
because of your arm surgeries
Dusty would be
the better choice
to bring the money across.
I-I completely understand.
W-We don't know
how we're gonna get
the bags across, so
BECKYLEE:
Dusty, you're comfortable
with that?
Yeah, that's fine with me.
-BECKYLEE: Okay.
-DUSTY: I'm good with it.
DENNIS:
This group doesn't trust me
being able to volunteer myself
to go last
and haul over
the nine other bags
for the group and all the money.
It would've shown loyalty
and that I am trustworthy.
It's getting me worried.
AMY:
There you go, Punkin!
-She's got knees in.
-BECKYLEE: There you go!
I'm getting in the mindset of,
girl, you just got to do it
and get across quickly.
There you go, Punkin!
You got this!
PUNKIN:
But it's not easy.
She's wide.
JENNYE:
She's Spiderman-ing it.
Look at her.
NICK:
Can you get it
more on your calves?
-JEANNIE: Yeah.
-Does that make sense?
PUNKIN:
I know that people
are definitely starting
to get paranoid in this game
because we are realizing
we're getting
closer and closer to the end.
-Me?
-Mm-hmm.
PUNKIN:
Every day, people are scheming
and trying to figure out
who's gonna go home,
and honestly, I'm just trying
to make sure I stay here
and I keep my butt safe.
NICK:
I'm starting to notice
that Punkin is getting
really close
to Becky and Therron.
I'm trying to think about
who's physically
gonna get us up there.
NICK: Makes me put
a little target on her back.
I'm starting to worry,
how close is she?
Is there a chance that she could
get closer to them than I am?
You got this. Take a breather.
Keep going.
Nick!
Do you feel like the pressure
is on your ankles?
It is on my ankles!
JEANNIE:
Oh, my God.
Can you get it
more on your shin?
(panting)
-JENNYE: Just keep moving.
-AMY: Keep it going.
-(screams)
-JEANNIE: You got it,
Punkin! Come on!
Come on, Punkin. Come on.
(Punkin moans)
(screams)
It burns!
Go, girl!
JEANNIE:
Come on!
(Punkin screams)
Try to go five at a time,
then break.
(grunts)
NICK:
Keep going on your shin.
Go. Nice, P.
JEANNIE:
Yeah! (whoops)
Come on, Punkin!
Come on, Punkin!
NICK:
Nice job, Punkin!
(shouts)
Nice job, Punkin!
(moans)
AMY:
Look what he's doing.
He's, like, lying down.
Oh.
(grunts)
-NICK: They got Dennis
going now.
-There's no way.
He said he's going last
with the bags.
NICK:
Dusty's Dusty's over there.
AMY:
You're kind of a wild card.
-No one knows where you stand.
-Me?
Yeah.
I feel really good about
this crew that's still here.
I feel really good
about Therron.
-I feel pretty good about Nick.
-AMY: Yeah.
-Uh, pretty good about Punkin.
-Good job, Dennis!
Yeah, I was gonna ask
you about Nick.
-Pati warned me.
-About?
-About Nick.
-Really?
AMY:
She didn't have to say that,
you know?
I felt like she was
looking out for me.
Nice, Dennis.
BECKYLEE:
I do trust Nick,
but I'm getting
a little weird vibes.
-Yeah.
-And I don't know
if he's getting more paranoid,
or more nervous.
-I think that's what it is.
-But you feel it.
-Yeah.
-DUSTY: I think so.
And paranoid people flip.
AMY:
My plan going ahead
is to build relationships
with the people that I feel
the most comfortable with.
Pati told me not to trust Nick,
so if I don't have someone
that I know is gonna
go with what they say
and say what they do,
it's just too much
of a risk for me.
You got this.
He is full-frogging it.
(Dennis grunts)
-PUNKIN: Good job.
-NICK: He's using
a lot of strength.
NICK:
Come on, Dennis.
(panting)
Looking down sucks.
(grunts)
THERRON
Dennis!
-Good job, Dennis.
-Nice, Dennis.
-JEANNIE: Dennis.
DENNIS:
Holding on to dear life
was my technique.
It almost seemed like
I dragged a dead body
with a coffin behind me.
This has got to be
one of the hardest challenges
I've ever come by.
-(laughter)
-Nice.
JEANNIE (laughs):
Yeah!
His arms have got to be shot.
DENNIS:
Obviously, I want to see
people struggle,
and you know what?
Not everyone's gonna be able
to cross that obstacle.
Strategically speaking,
it's good for me.
That sucked.
Don't tell anyone.
-JENNYE: Here we go.
-BECKYLEE: You got it, Jennye.
DUSTY:
Think about cats.
It'll-it'll bring you comfort.
BECKYLEE:
There's a cat on the other side
that you need to rescue.
-You got this,
kitty, meow, meow.
-Come on, J.
(Jennye grunting)
JENNYE:
We'll see.
Is Jennye gonna have
any trouble with her knee?
JEANNIE:
Her knees were all taped up.
NICK:
Jennye showed me
the other night.
-She took her brace off
-JEANNIE: Oh, she did?
and it was black and blue
all the way down to her ankle.
-No way.
-I-I said, "Jennye,"
and she goes, "I haven't
showed anyone (bleep)."
And when I mean "it's bad,"
it's bad.
JENNYE:
I'm injured, but I've been
pretty much masking it
the whole time.
This is an elimination game,
so
any little thing can
make people vote you off.
You got this, Jennye!
(Jennye grunts)
Come on, Jennye!
THERRON:
Ooh, let's go, Jennye!
NICK:
Yeah, Jennye!
JEANNIE:
She's focused, man. Look at her.
Keep moving, Jennye.
Keep moving.
(grunts)
PUNKIN:
Good job, Jennye!
NICK:
Nice, Jennye.
THERRON:
Use them gaiters.
You're halfway. You got it.
I can't make it.
Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, no.
THERRON:
Good pace.
Take a break if you need it.
(moans)
-You got it.
-You got it, you got it.
(shouts)
Oh, gosh, she fell.
JEANNIE:
Hang on, Mama.
Hang on.
-NICK: You all right, Jennye?
-(grunts)
JEANNIE:
Can you get your legs back up?
Can you get
your legs in front of you?
NICK:
Come on, Jennye.
(Jennye screams)
PUNKIN:
Oh, God, she fell,
she fell, she fell.
No, she did not.
PUNKIN:
That goes to show you
right there,
don't take it for granted.
-Now I'm freaking out.
-THERRON: Damn.
(grunts)
Take some deep breaths,
regroup, you got it.
Jennye, you okay?
No?
JENNYE:
I got as far as I could.
My knee is, like, three times
the size of the other one.
I can't move it anymore.
It just won't go.
I don't think I--
I-I can't make it across.
BECKYLEE:
This is a huge setback,
and I'm, like,
if she gives up
on this obstacle,
her money's gone.
Her knee injury
is a lot more serious,
and so I think this could be
the end of the game for Jennye.
Jennye, you can conquer this!
DENNIS:
I want to laugh my evil,
demonic laugh.
My number-one enemy
in this game, Jennye,
I think she's gonna quit
in the middle of the obstacle.
(grunts)
Yes.
This is perfect,
'cause now I can sit back
and just watch the show,
and I love it.
(cackles)
(wind whistling)
PUNKIN:
You got this, Jennye.
THERRON:
You wouldn't let me quit,
I'm not gonna let you quit!
JENNYE:
Three-quarters of the way,
my knee just gave out,
and I dropped.
(screams)
People, they either go
one of two ways.
The challenges conquer them
or they conquer the challenge.
I teach Muay Thai.
It's the punching
and kicking part of MMA.
I have been through some really
hard, life-changing things.
When I was 31,
I had ovarian cancer.
That was terrifying and scary.
There are a lot of people
that have battled cancer
that don't come out
the other side, and I did.
I'm definitely a fighter.
I have been given
a second chance.
All of the things
that I have been through
taught me that I am invincible.
Conquering the challenge
is when you become more.
You become your better self.
This mountain won't conquer me,
that's for damn sure.
I am not going to quit.
-THERRON: Yeah,
she's about to go again!
-PUNKIN: She's about to go.
-All right, Jennye.
-Come on, Jennye.
JENNYE:
I have to rethink immediately.
I'm an athlete,
I have upper body strength.
What if I sat
like on the toilet,
one leg on each side,
and I try to kind of crab-walk?
Everybody else made it.
I ain't going out like that.
I ain't going out like a punk,
just tear up my arms.
Screw this.
AMY:
Look at her, look at her,
look at what's she doing.
-PUNKIN: There you go.
-Look what she's doing.
Oh, maybe that might work.
This would be hard on her knees.
Honestly, if people fall
and they hurt themselves,
as long as they don't die,
it's better for my game.
Jennye has been trying
to get me out,
so injure yourself.
Get off this mountain. Quit.
People are gonna hate
that I said that, too,
but it's whatever.
JEANNIE:
Come on, Jennye.
THERRON:
Come on.
(panting)
PUNKIN:
Let's go, Jennye!
That's what determination
looks like.
Sorry it took so long.
Yeah, that was awesome.
-NICK: Good job, Jen.
-JENNYE: The normal rules
do not apply out here
on this mountain at all.
Good job. I'm so proud of you.
JENNYE:
When you thought you weren't
going to be able to do something
and then you actually
end up doing it,
-that relief
-PUNKIN: You did it.
I can handle whatever else
is gonna come at me.
-Great job, Jennye.
-I'm glad you f-fought.
You dug deep.
JENNYE:
And I might not be as slick
as some other people,
but I'm gonna
still make it happen.
Oh, yeah, this sucks.
THERRON:
Hey!
All right, Beckylee,
there you go.
NICK:
Nice, Beck.
BECKYLEE:
I'm worried right now.
Jennye fell,
and it took a while.
Now we have to pick up the pace
to make up that time.
(bleep), this hurts.
-This sucks!
-(all oohing)
PUNKIN:
Hold up!
-Yeah.
-NICK: You're good, Beck.
You're good.
My arms are numb.
The wind makes it so much more
difficult to even hold on.
I look up and I'm, like,
"I still have 70% to go?"
Oh, my gosh.
How do I keep going?
-PUNKIN: There you go.
-(grunting)
(wind whistling)
PUNKIN:
There you go.
Good job, Beckylee.
(whoops)
That was hard.
-PUNKIN: It was hard.
-THERRON: You did it.
PUNKIN:
Good. Perfect.
-Yeah!
-JEANNIE: Oh, wow, yeah!
Amy!
-PUNKIN: There you go, Amy!
-Oh, my God! (grunts)
-JEANNIE: Don't worry,
keep going!
-PUNKIN: Just keep going.
(panting)
(groaning)
-(Punkin shouts)
-(gasps)
-Holy (bleep).
-(bleep)
-PUNKIN: Ooh.
That was a big drop.
(crying)
THERRON:
Amy, you got this!
This obstacle is taking
a lot longer than
I think any of us expected.
Is Amy going to fall?
Once again, we got to go.
I don't want to do it.
I have no arm strength left.
I want to quit.
But then,
I remembered my girls' letters.
"You've always taught me
to never doubt myself
"and never give up,
so I e-expect you
to listen to your own advice."
THERRON:
Amy, you got this!
AMY:
I'm gonna try it one more time.
(panting)
BECKYLEE:
Amy's starting to panic,
so I think this
is gonna take a little longer.
-NICK: Come on, Amy.
JEANNIE: Nice and easy.
Let's go, Amy.
JENNYE: You got to go
on your butt and scoot.
-(exhales)
-Left leg on the outside
of the other one.
It's gonna be awkward. Yes, yes.
Keep the ropes
in your knee socket.
It's just awkward.
It's gonna burn your arms out,
but just keep going.
-Am I even going anywhere?
-ALL: Yes!
-(laughs)
-You're actually moving quickly.
JENNYE:
Yeah.
Yep. Perfect.
(grunting)
Therron, I want a hug!
I got you!
We traversed a mountain,
you can bounce
that thing on over here.
-(groans)
-JENNYE: I know,
just keep going.
-Yep, she's freaking out.
-I can't!
I get it, I get it.
PUNKIN:
You're halfway, Amy.
Thick thighs save lives!
-Thick thighs save lives, baby.
-JENNYE: Exactly.
Don't worry. Keep going!
I'm watching Amy on the ropes
shaking, and I get it.
We're moms. We're, you know,
we're not going to the gym
all the time and working out.
-Amy!
-Yeah.
JEANNIE:
At the same time,
families give us
more motivation to do this.
-BECKYLEE: Nice job!
-(crying)
-I'm so sorry.
-PUNKIN: Good job, Amy.
THERRON:
Your kids are so proud.
Think of those letters.
NICK: Good job.
-AMY: It's obvious I'm not
as physically strong
as everybody else.
But holding this pack
of money, $100,000,
I work at a bank,
so you just forget about it
being worth anything
when it's not yours, you're just
passing it out to people,
taking it in from people.
This would change
my family's life.
PUNKIN:
You did it,
and you're over here.
I couldn't imagine coming
home and telling my husband
that I won it all.
And that's what keeps me going.
(grunts)
I have the sole responsibility
to get $900K
across that bridge.
Make sure
they're hooked in good!
DUSTY:
I'm just worried
about the unknowns.
Going at the end could put
my position at risk.
In the past,
the mountain's keeper
forced our hand
to leave someone behind.
GEOFF:
"When the last person
is crossing,
use this ax
to cut the support rope."
We love you, Bo!
DUSTY:
I'm concerned,
but clock's ticking,
we have to move a lot faster,
and the group,
they need that money across.
Let us know when.
(Dusty whoops)
No bags left behind, baby.
Let's go.
-NICK: Good job!
-(Jeannie laughs)
-PUNKIN: Thank you, Dusty!
-Yeah!
THERRON:
Heart.
(bird screeches)
DUSTY:
It's clear to me
I need to just get across
that bridge.
All right, Dusty.
Dusty, I definitely trust.
We've been strong since day one.
He's very genuine.
Let's go, Dusty!
PUNKIN:
He lends out a hand
when you need it.
Dusty is amazing.
He's an all-around guy.
JENNYE:
He's straddle, which is good.
-NICK: Yeah.
-PUNKIN: There you go.
I mean, he's about
to get across this in no time.
BECKYLEE:
I personally feel
Dusty's a threat
socially, physically
and morally.
Like, h-he's done
no wrong in this game.
So I'm getting
a little more wary of him.
At some point in the game,
we're gonna have to
cut the head off the snake.
Good job, Dusty!
(others cheering)
AMY:
Nice job.
DUSTY:
That was a lot harder
than I expected.
-Good job, Dusty.
-Dusty.
-You killed it.
-(sighs)
DUSTY:
Unfortunately,
the vote last night,
my name was up for debate.
It's probably a good thing
for me to show that
I'm willing to do
whatever it takes
for the group
PUNKIN:
Good job.
because I can't have anyone
out there trying to get me.
(bleep) didn't even
faze you, bro.
That was not easy.
DUSTY:
A little slick right here.
THERRON:
Oh, God. Yeah. Okay.
BECKYLEE:
That was the hardest
obstacle yet.
We're so exhausted and hungry,
and now we have yet another
long trek ahead of us.
(grunts)
JEANNIE:
God, it's so slippery.
Ooh!
BECKYLEE:
You just have to have
your mind kick in
and say, "Forget the pain,
eat the pain, keep on going."
MANU:
The group has successfully
stayed on their route
by crossing the mountain chasm,
but they still face miles
of steep uphill climbing
and arduous rocky terrain
before they reach
their next checkpoint camp.
So you don't stay back here
with me. It's okay.
JENNYE:
Right now,
my knee's hurting pretty bad,
but I'm not
slowing us down like Amy.
AMY:
(grunts) No.
(panting)
(bleep)
JENNYE:
Amy's struggling
helps take the focus away
from my injury.
JENNYE:
I think, uh, Amy fell.
PUNKIN:
Hold on. Hold on.
AMY:
My feet are just numb.
I knew it was bad. I could tell
there was a lot of pressure.
On a scale of one to ten,
my toes were a nine.
Literally not being dramatic.
My-my toe was gonna pop.
JEANNIE:
You want to go in front of me?
I love Dusty,
but a lot of times,
we're going too fast.
-AMY: My feet are so unsteady,
guys.
-PUNKIN: I know.
-NICK: It's okay. It's okay.
-AMY: They're, like, numb.
JEANNIE:
Especially when
the mountain keeper
told us to stick together
as a group.
-I just fell again.
-Here, go ahead.
This is a big drop.
I don't know
(grunts)
DUSTY:
I'm just gonna wait
for a second up here.
(screeching)
MANU:
With weaker members
slowing the group's progress,
the mountain's keeper
has a test.
JEANNIE:
Oh, my God.
MANU:
Who will step up to show that
they can carry their weight
and prove their worth
to the group?
-Look.
-Is that the mountain's keeper?
-Uh-oh.
-Yes, it is.
AMY:
He's got a yellow pack.
PUNKIN:
He's dropping something out.
-Dusty, go.
-Dusty, get it.
-Dusty, go.
-BECKYLEE: Get it, Dusty.
-PUNKIN: Go.
JEANNIE:
Go!
PUNKIN:
Go, Dusty.
Seeing the mountain's keeper
is definitely
a bunch of anxiety because
we know that this means
another twist in the game.
With every duffle bag drop,
nobody is safe.
-What do you think's in it?
-THERRON: Oh, my God.
(wind whistling)
Read it out loud.
DUSTY: "Warning. Conditions
ahead are inhospitable.
"As a result,
there aren't any tents
or supplies
at the next checkpoint."
Ugh.
NICK:
Oh, man.
AMY:
You guys, look.
DENNIS:
The keeper's back.
PUNKIN:
The mountain keeper's back.
DUSTY:
"You have bivies on your back
"and these three bags
arriving now containing
"food and cooking utensils.
"Will three of you decide
"to carry these bags
up a steep hill
"in order to feed the group
"at the next camp?
"Or will nobody step forward
"to carry the burden
for the group
"and all of you go
without food for tonight?
"The choice is yours.
The mountain's keeper."
BECKYLEE:
So, the mountain keeper
drops off
three massive containers
that we are
supposed to carry on
with us another
two, three hours
uphill if we want
to eat tonight.
Those are pretty dang big.
DUSTY:
I do think
they're gonna be awkward.
BECKYLEE:
Food is energy in this game.
When you feel so exhausted,
to think about
not eating again is, like,
"I can't go through that."
It's gonna be a long hike
-if we decide to carry it.
-JEANNIE: I know.
-DENNIS: Oh, yeah.
-Oh, girl!
-(laughs)
We're gonna starve. There's
no way we're carrying these.
PUNKIN:
Should we carry them and risk
-not making checkpoint
'cause they are not light?
-Right.
Or do we leave them?
NICK:
Obviously, with the conditions,
missing any kind of camp
would be terrible.
-We don't want to miss a camp.
-Right? I mean
JEANNIE:
I don't know.
Whoever's carrying,
-that's their decision.
-NICK: Yeah.
I mean, this is not an easy hike
with all those
without these things.
-JEANNIE: Look at this.
-NICK: We're losing daylight,
so we're gonna
have to make a decision.
(sighs)
BECKYLEE:
I don't know.
Let's take it.
I wouldn't be able to carry
my backpack and that, though.
DUSTY:
I trust Punkin. I think
she's going out of her way
to really try to
make big decisions.
I think she tries her best
to be a leader, which I respect.
I'll carry an extra backpack.
-You think so?
-Yeah, I can do two backpacks.
DENNIS:
At this very moment of the game,
I know that people are still
gonna try to target me, so
I think this is
a great opportunity for myself
to show that I am a team player,
but also to save my game.
I could do it, too.
DUSTY:
Dennis is really quick
to volunteer,
which I think
isn't super genuine,
but we need food,
so I appreciate Dennis
helping the group.
-BECKYLEE: Who wants to take it?
-THERRON: I'll take it.
JEANNIE:
Okay. Who else is taking
the other one?
I can carry it.
JENNYE: I don't volunteer
to step forward
because of my injury.
I'm hoping that I didn't put
my name out there
on the chopping block
for the vote tonight.
-DUSTY: Are you good on that?
Punkin, good?
-PUNKIN: Yeah.
The smaller the numbers get,
the more selfishly
you have to play.
The relationships I have
with Beckylee
and Therron are solid,
but I think it's very wise
to volunteer
just to show everybody
I'm willing to take one
for the team
and carry one of
these bags because what's
in this bag
is gonna benefit us all,
and we all get to eat tonight.
How heavy is this?
I don't think
it's that heavy, but
DUSTY:
Okay, really quick
AMY:
Punkin, Therron, and Beckylee
volunteer to carry
their food to camp,
and then Dusty, Nick
-Damn, Punkin.
-AMY: and Dennis
volunteer to carry
their backpacks,
and me, Jeannie,
and Jennye just have to
carry our own weight
and our own packs up the hill.
PUNKIN:
All right, let's do it.
AMY:
I'm worried
because I don't want
to be seen as weak
for the vote tonight.
THERRON:
That way!
PUNKIN:
That's a lot of uphill.
DENNIS:
Are we giving them
a little space?
AMY:
Yeah, give them space.
This is hard, dude.
-AMY: Six feet.
-BECKYLEE: This is really hard.
DENNIS:
You got to be careful with that.
NICK:
It is slick, dude.
BECKYLEE:
Can we take a break?
-I'm hurting.
-DUSTY: Yeah.
(others panting, grunting)
-Who has my bag?
-DENNIS: I do.
JENNYE:
Who's carrying backpacks?
-BECKYLEE: Dusty, Nick
-PUNKIN: Dusty, Nick,
-Dennis.
-(sighs)
Hey, you guys.
-You climbed that right there
-Yep.
with about 75 pounds
of food on your back,
so I appreciate you.
-NICK: Thank you so much.
-I'm not just saying that.
NICK:
Amy's an unbelievable person.
Even if she's struggling,
Amy is so good
at creating relationships.
Everyone loves her.
She's the mom of this group.
She's very much like my mom.
My mom is
the senior vice president
of a regional bank,
and I've watched her
through the years just grind,
make her way up.
She's up at 5:00.
She doesn't sleep till 11:00.
I mean,
she's a go-getter as well.
My parents are,
uh, highly competitive,
so I think
it's just trickled down,
I guess, from my family,
and I'm gonna make them proud
and get to the summit.
Take your time.
-Let's wrap it up.
-We should be.
Sorry I'm being
a warden right now.
I'm just trying
to get there at this point.
The sun's going down.
Being the person in the front,
I feel a lot of pressure
to make sure we keep moving
and get a good pace
-Yeah, we on the move.
-BECKYLEE: Let's finish this.
Let's finish it.
THERRON:
because the last thing I want
is for us not to make
the checkpoint.
PUNKIN:
Make sure y'all
are grabbing the plants.
It is so slippery.
Ooh. Be careful when
you're grabbing these.
There's just spears all in them.
JEANNIE:
This hike, it's so hard.
NICK:
There's one of those spears.
Okay, thank you.
And then here
we got spiky plants
that will, like,
just cut your shirt off.
-Ugh.
-Yeah.
Geez.
All right, keep going.
AMY:
It's okay, Jeannie.
You're doing great.
It's really tough.
It's really, it really is.
THERRON:
Oh, God, I can see the lake.
PUNKIN:
Oh, my gosh.
That is so beautiful.
Oh, my God. (sighs)
-THERRON: Yeah.
-JEANNIE: Whoo, we see the lake.
DUSTY:
Yeah?
THERRON:
That look
That lake is amazing.
We got some
beachfront property tonight.
It's beautiful.
-AMY: Holy crap.
-THERRON: The beach!
-(Beckylee whoops)
-Oh, my God.
PUNKIN:
We made it. It is so beautiful.
(Jeannie whoops)
-BECKYLEE: Oh, my gosh.
-PUNKIN: Yes.
-BECKYLEE: The beachfront.
-(Punkin whoops)
Whoo.
Great job, man. Great job.
Good job. Thank you.
This is so pretty.
I always love
getting to the checkpoint,
but, oh, my God,
it is so beautiful.
-DENNIS: Oh, boy.
-THERRON: How cold is it?
PUNKIN:
Very.
JENNYE:
If you are not humbled
in the presence of the mountains
and where you are,
then you're
an ungrateful (bleep).
JEANNIE:
Oh, my God. It's so cold.
(others grunting, moaning)
-THERRON: This is so clear.
-PUNKIN: We made it.
AMY:
I know the food's gonna be
worth it, but
-damn.
-JEANNIE: This view
is beautiful.
AMY:
This is beautiful.
I don't think I've ever seen
anything as beautiful
-in my whole life.
-PUNKIN: Me neither.
(indistinct conversations)
(whistles)
MANU:
Hey, guys.
COMPETITORS:
Hi! Hey!
Welcome to Lochnagar.
One of the most beautiful places
on the mountain.
Come up and grab a seat.
THERRON:
We just got to camp.
You know, we're celebrating.
We're having a good time,
and then Manu shows up,
and it immediately
dampens the mood.
This is probably the last space
that you'll get where you'll be
able to look and see how
pristine and beautiful it is.
Gorgeous.
MANU:
So, I hear the mountain's keeper
surprised you
with a bit of a food drop.
COMPETITORS:
Yes, sir. Yeah. Yes.
Who had to carry
the food supplies?
Wow. Were they heavy?
-Yes.
-(laughter)
Uphill? Yeah, definitely heavy.
Was that a hard decision?
BECKYLEE:
Food is energy in this game,
so we need all the energy
we can get,
-so it was worth it.
-Mm-hmm.
And what happened to your bags?
Uh, three guys carried our bags.
Okay, put your hands up.
Okay, put your hand up if you
didn't carry any extra baggage.
Okay.
So you pretty much know
who's the strongest,
who's in the middle,
who's behind.
So, what do you think
tonight's vote's gonna be about?
Who carried their weight.
Who carried the weight?
The extra weight
and the weight for the team.
Jeannie, are you just exhausted
or you're being quiet
for a reason?
No, I'm exhausted, but,
when I came here,
seeing this beautiful scenery,
I just miss my family.
How do you think
that's affecting you?
Right now, not good. (laughs)
'Cause I look weak, but
you know what? I look strong.
You know, I was strong,
really strong for this team,
and so I'm having
a little bit of a meltdown
right now, and I think
I deserve that. (laughs)
MANU:
Well, guys,
it's time to think about
who it is you're gonna steal
the money from
and send from the mountain.
It's time to make a vote.
AMY:
I feel nervous because
no one wants to be seen
as a weak link,
and I didn't feel like
today was my day.
I'm gonna give you
a moment to think about it.
AMY:
But I hope that my team
sees my worth
'cause I know I deserve
a spot at the summit.
Good luck.
I'll be back.
(wind whistling)
AMY:
I'm worried.
If my name's
on the chopping block tonight,
um, I'm-I'm definitely
holding the group up.
So tonight's vote,
I'm trusting that Nick
and Dusty are gonna
keep me safe.
Ah, man.
-Can I join this?
-BECKYLEE: Yes.
Or is that too much?
BECKYLEE:
Let's make it quick, though.
NICK:
What are you thinking?
I feel bad, but--
Dennis has been on
the outs for a little bit,
so he would be
the obvious choice,
but honestly, Jennye.
She's such a tough woman
with a hard exterior shell.
We don't have
the strongest relationship,
and also, she is injured,
so I don't know what to do.
(scoffs, smacks lips)
JENNYE:
Most people aren't
talking with me,
so that's why I feel
like my name's out there.
I don't think
I'm the best person
to go home 'cause I know
I can still make it
up the mountain
with or without the injury,
so I need to let people know
that I can still make it
without them discounting me.
I struggled today
and I understand that.
Honestly, how is your knee?
It's not getting any better,
but it happened on day two.
We are on day nine,
and I won't quit, so
-We know. (laughs)
-We know.
Dennis and Jennye's names
are both being thrown out there.
I'm really worried
about her knee.
If she just can't make it
and she gives up,
her money's gone, too,
but we've been making
checkpoints,
so I can't rationalize
voting for her.
I think Jennye right now is
trying to roughen up
the feathers
and trying to sway people.
I'm not leaving without a fight,
but right now,
my name is still
out in the open,
so I think for me to stay,
I got to be sneaky.
As much as I think
Jennye can tough it up
-Yeah.
-her knee is (bleep).
I know. I know.
And we're gonna get some steep
incline going up the mountain.
JEANNIE:
Yeah.
The obvious one that everybody
wants is Dennis, right?
But I see Jennye going next.
We cannot lose her money now
like we did with Tony and Bo.
I'm always gonna vote for
someone who is, you can't trust.
I will always vote for someone
-like that.
-PUNKIN: Yeah.
-AMY: Mm-hmm.
JENNYE:
No matter how much
they try to sound good
for all y'all
and all that kind of stuff.
Oh, yeah.
He's, he's so fake.
-So
-PUNKIN: Even earlier
when you were coming
off the mountain, I was,
like, trying to help you.
I'm, like, dude.
(chuckles)
Jennye's name is
being thrown around tonight
to be voted off
because of her knee,
but I'm gonna have to vote
Dennis tonight
because he has to be gone
over Jennye.
I can't trust
that Dennis will have my back,
and I know Jennye,
for a fact, will have my back.
(quietly):
Come over here and talk.
Dennis has been
on the chopping block
the last three or four nights.
That is perfect for me.
The longer Dennis is
in this game,
the less people are
looking at me.
I feel like I can trust Amy
to vote with me.
For my game, I'm trying
to keep Dennis at all costs.
So, it's got to be unanimous?
Can I not vote for her?
NICK:
That's the decision
we all have to make.
AMY:
Paranoia sets in for everybody.
Nick, he started playing
hard and fast.
Nick saying that I need
to vote for Jennye
because it's gonna be unanimous.
I don't want to vote for Jennye,
but I was very loyal
to Rose and Geoff,
so now I start
doubting myself, like,
maybe my senses aren't as good
as I think they are.
Here he comes.
Okay, guys.
You made your decision?
Let's grab a seat.
So, what names are being
thrown around tonight?
Dennis and Jennye.
Dennis, twice you've had
your head on the chopping block.
How does it feel?
Um, it doesn't feel good
to be in this position.
Regardless,
I have still kept my head high.
I don't hold a grudge
in this game.
I think we're all
great people here,
and we have a lot to learn
from each other.
Who nominated Dennis?
I did.
-MANU: Why?
-JENNYE: I get from Dennis
just a whole lot of (bleep).
And he knows
he's in the hot seat,
he knows he has to make
good relationship,
he just knows he has to make,
he has to make up for stuff.
That's what people do when
their backs are behind the wall.
It's a little bit--
It's a little too late.
-It's pretty personal. How do
you feel about that, Dennis?
-That does sound
really personal, and
I'm sorry you feel that way.
People have said a lot of things
about me in this game that,
you know, have been true
and I've owned up to it.
You know, I really hope
that people see me
as a trustworthy person.
I truly mean that.
I'm gonna have
to nominate Jennye as well,
'cause she dropped my name.
MANU:
Are you
-still feeling injured?
-JENNYE: Yes.
But I'm still just pushing
through it.
MANU:
If I said to you,
"Let's cross this lake
and climb this mountain
right now"
would you do it?
Yes. I would.
There's a huge difference
between being weak
and being injured,
and I am not a weak person.
Jeannie, what do you think
tonight's vote's gonna be about?
I'm close with Dennis, you know?
Jennye, too.
But for me, the vote tonight
is who I could trust.
It's gonna be
who I want to go up
to the summit with,
who will have my back.
That's all.
Okay, then.
Let's take a vote.
JENNYE:
Dennis is scuzzy,
to be quite honest,
when it comes to gameplay.
He's playing the game too hard
and not successfully.
If you're gonna vote for Dennis,
raise your hand.
JENNYE:
He needs to leave this mountain
by being voted off today.
(wind whistling)
Let's take a vote.
If you're gonna vote for Dennis,
raise your hand.
One, two, three.
AMY:
Four.
Oh, and Amy.
That's four votes for Dennis.
AMY:
I thought the vote
was gonna be unanimous.
And three people
raise their hand. I'm like
"To vote Dennis out?"
And Punkin was like, "Yeah."
I was like, "Me, too."
Put your hand up
if you're gonna vote
for Jennye.
Therron, Nick
Beckylee,
Dennis and Jeannie.
Four votes to five.
You've chosen
who you want off this mountain.
Jennye,
your climb to the summit
has come to an end.
Okay, grab your stuff.
Bring the money out,
share it amongst the group.
(sighs)
MANU:
Well, I guess tonight's vote
is about getting rid
of the weak.
(sniffles)
(exhales, sniffles)
(sniffling)
JENNYE:
I'm proud of myself.
There were times
that I was truly scared,
and there were times that I
thought that I might not be able
to keep going.
But I did, every single time.
I would die on this mountain
before I quit.
PUNKIN:
Meow, meow.
(laughing)
JENNYE:
But I also feel betrayed.
Dennis escaped the noose again.
-It hurts.
-BECKLYEE: Bye, Jennye.
-Bye, Jennye.
-Bye, Jennye.
-JENNYE: I think between
trusting Dennis and eating bugs,
depending on the bugs,
I'd eat the bugs.
(grunting)
Tonight,
you're camping beside
a lake.
Either side of it, sheer cliffs.
There's only one way to go
tomorrow.
That way.
Have a good rest.
Think about your strategy.
Enjoy your night.
DENNIS:
I'm ecstatic.
Jennye got voted out.
I loved seeing the defeat
in Jennye's eyes.
My back was up against the wall
once again,
but I survived another day.
And let me tell you,
it feels good.
-(chuckles)
-PUNKIN: Did you get it already?
NICK:
You got it?
I mean, I'm
That's definitely the toughest.
Oof.
Are you okay, Ames? You're sad?
I don't like anybody
questioning my judgment
or my character. Nick,
I thought you said
it was gonna be unanimous.
I did not tell you that.
Why are you saying that?
PUNKIN:
Wait, what?
Ooh, I did
(stammers)
I thought she was sad
'cause Jennye was gone.
NICK:
Um, right now, my mind's
all over the place, 'cause
I thought I could trust Amy.
Amy was basically scapegoating
her vote and putting it on me
right there
in front of everyone.
You were, like, trying
to justify why you voted one way
by putting it on me.
I didn't say anything.
I said to you,
"Who are you voting for?"
-And I said-- You said--
you said, "You need to vote"
-And I
-You told me to vote for Jennye.
Because you said
-Absolute--
-"This is my strategy."
-I said, "The group over there
is discussing Jennye
because Jennye's worried
about her knee."
I'm literally stunned.
I mean, you
I'm-I'm shocked. I mean,
this little voice is going, "No,
Nick told me it was gonna be
a unanimous vote."
So it's gonna be unanimous?
Can I not vote for her?
AMY:
I'm feeling upset right now.
I'm pretty confident that
(chuckles)
I heard you say that.
I didn't want
to vote for Jennye.
Jennye was close with me.
That's why I was confused
when they said Dennis.
And I just-- I said, "Oh."
I thought we were all voting
for Jennye out.
PUNKIN:
You could have if you wanted.
-I didn't want
to vote Jennye out.
-Oh.
NICK:
Wait, hold on,
you just said
that I told you who to vote for.
-Did you just say that?
-Nick, you told--
You made it clear to me
I needed to vote Jennye off.
You came up to me and said,
"What are you doing?"
I said, "They're discussing
Jennye right now
because Jennye's knee."
Is that what I said or not?
Yes.
Did I tell you
to vote for Jennye?
You made me feel that way, yes.
That's just not true.
I didn't tell you
who to vote for.
I don't want to be a result
for any way you vote.
She's trying to put
a target on me to keep it off
of her to stir up more stuff.
And everyone can vote
for whoever they want.
I just don't want
to be the reason
that you voted
whichever way you wanted.
Right when the vote was
just cast and everyone got up,
you looked directly at me
and said,
"You said
it would be unanimous."
I do think Amy needs to be next.
You're a risk to my game,
and I'm gonna be leading
that charge,
so buckle up.
We're about to start playing.

Your only way to get to the
summit is from the other side
of the lake.
Who knows how to swim?
This is unlike anything
that I've ever done.
AMY:
The numbers are dwindling.
We only have four days left.
DENNIS:
I wake up to Amy
talking smack about me.
-NICK: Jump!
-PUNKIN: Nobody runs
and jumps off a cliff.
-Like, who does that?
-(shrieking)
-"Be warned: each fall
will have consequences
at the next vote."
THERRON:
I honestly wish I was--
been the person
voted out yesterday.
