[grunts] Weird being here without my mom.
She's here in spirit.
Not-- Not dead. Just in New Jersey.
-[upbeat punk rock music plays] -Surprise.
Here I am.
Definitely not in Orange County.
I'm good, I just don't know what I got myself into.
[inhales sharply]
Game time.
[music stops]
[laughs]
I don't know what to do!
[music continues]
[Taylor Lewan] Your favorite Netflix reality stars
are headed to summer camp.
One, two, three, four. Go Eagles!
-[squeals excitedly] -Wow!
[Taylor] There'll be cozy cabins, camp crushes,
and a whole lot of competition.
That's so easy.
-One, two, three. -[laughing]
[Taylor] Because these guys are playing for a massive quarter-million dollars.
I'm so ready for this!
That was insane!
God bless America!
[Taylor] To be in with a chance of winning,
they'll need to keep their names off this beautiful piece of machinery.
[music ends]
Once every slot on the Wheel is filled,
I will spin it,
and whoever it lands on will be going home.
[suspenseful music playing]
The more time your name appears on the Wheel,
the greater chance you have of leaving camp.
That's like straight chance.
I'm slipping.
-[Taylor] To avoid the Wheel… -[air horn blows]
…they'll need to win epic challenges…
[man] Oh my God!
I'm so scared!
-[exciting music playing] -[screams]
…endure grueling punishments…
-[man 1] Not a tarantula. -[woman] My God!
[man 2] Let's go!
-[woman] It's okay, breathe! -[groans]
…and dodge camp votes.
She is a threat to me and my team.
This is an easy decision for me.
-I don't trust him. -[grunts]
Vote him out. No, I'm kidding. [laughs]
[Taylor] They'll have to work as a team,
but ultimately only one star will conquer the Wheel
to become Battle Camp Champ.
I'm Taylor Lewan, and welcome to Battle Camp.

Yeah. His name's Lorenzo. If he's out here, I'd be…
I'd be a little worried.

-Could be the good-looking team. -We're hot, balanced, a little queer.
I feel like I wouldn't mess with us.
[Lorenzo] People will hate us.
Ugly people hate beautiful people. Usually, that's how it works.

To be very honest with you, I might have to wind my neck in a bit more.

I live in a suit all day, every day, so I want to get my hands dirty.
-Are you okay to get dirty? -A thousand percent.
-That's why I'm here. -[Avori] Good.
Real estate, where I come from,
is as cutthroat and as dog-eat-dog as it gets.
So, on a scale of one to ten,
I'm a 15 competitive.
I'm fulfilling a childhood dream by coming to summer camp
'cause I never got to go to summer camp, so this is like checking that box.
-Have you been? -Yeah, I went a couple times. I loved it.
Like, the ghost stories, the s'mores, the kayaking.
I went to summer camp once, but I vomited.
[laughing] Oh no!
This is your redemption story.
[upbeat punk rock music plays]
[horn honking]
Welcome to camp, guys!
Hey, how's it going?
Now, guys, you didn't just come on the bus as individuals.
You also came on the bus as a team. You guys are the Wolves.
-[cheering] -Let's go! Oh yeah! Oh, that's right.
[howls]
Guys, your first competition, the Bears.
-[Taylor] There she is! -[QT] Oh my gosh!
[Taylor] Welcome! Welcome to camp!
[Trey] Oh my God!
-Hi, guys. -[Taylor] You're amazing, guys.
Shuby and Avori, oh my God. [gasps]
[Taylor] Guys, here comes the final team, the Eagles.
[all cheering]
-[Trey] Oh my God! -[QT] Oh my God!
[laughing] Oh my God.
[music ends]
-Hey, Lorenzo. How's it going, man? -Hello. Hello, man.
I feel like there's a little bit of discomfort here?
[contestants laughing]
[laughing]
No, it's all good.
All right, guys. I want to introduce myself.
I am Taylor Lewan. I'm your host.
And this is Battle Camp.
-[cheering] -[intriguing music plays]
-Let's go! -Yeah.
[Taylor] You're broken up into three teams of four. But know this.
At the end of camp, only one of you will be Battle Camp Champ
and awarded $250,000.
[cheering]
I shower you all.
[Avori] I just got chills. [chuckling]
In a competitive setting, I do like to analyze the situation around me
and see what's best because that's what we do to win.
But up until that point,
I will be coasting steadily right in the middle.
And then at the end, I'm gonna win everything.
Throughout camp, you'll need three keys to victory.
You have to be unbeatable in challenges,
you have to be unbreakable surviving punishments,
and because popularity goes a long way here,
you will need to be unhateable in camp votes.
[Louis exhales]
-[Louis] All right. -Okay.
If you fail at any of these three things, you'll be facing elimination
and risk being replaced by someone new.
[Tony] Damn.
I'm here to win.
I don't think I'll be intimidated by a bunch of guys from Too Hot to Handle.
"Oh, you're so pretty. I can't kiss you. Mm!"
A bunch of lounging princesses?
I don't think it'll be too difficult to take them out.
[music fades]
Alright, guys, that's enough explanation for now.
It's time to get into camp…
[contestants] Yeah!
…and enjoy ourselves a little bit.
-We got a hot tub. -[contestants cheer]
-We got s'mores. We got fire pits. -[cheering]
Everybody's got their own bed. Egyptian cotton.
You're gonna be sleeping nice. Putting down a couple of drinks.
-You guys want to go check it out? -Yeah!
No! What we're gonna do is, we're gonna go to the first challenge.
-[QT] Oh, no! -So do me a favor.
Put your bathing suits on and meet me down at the lake.
[Louis] Let's go!
-[cheering] -[Louis chanting] Wolves! Wolves!
[Shubham] Where are we going?
[dramatic rock music playing]
I can't believe we're going right into a challenge,
but we're ready to dive right in.
Literally.
[Shubham] I feel like destiny brought the four of us together.
-And destiny will take us to the win. -Absolutely.
-[Gabi] I'm feeling confident. -[Louis] I'm so confident.
-I'm feeling ready. -[Irina] Get me in the water.
[Tony] I think we're gonna crush them.
I think we're gonna absolutely torment them.
It's gonna be an ass-whupping.
I swim like fish, I'm intelligent like an owl,
-and, uh… -[laughing]
…strong like a bear from Barbados.
[contestants] Whoo! Let's go!
[music fades]
Welcome to your first challenge.
We're gonna find out some of your teams' strengths and weaknesses in
the water relay.
[cheering]
[exciting music plays]
[Taylor] In a swim across the lake,
every member of your team will tackle a different obstacle,
collecting flags as they go in each of the four legs.
First is balance.
Cross the unsteady docks without falling to reach your flag.
Next is strength.
Heave up each of the weighted ropes until you discover your team's flag.
Then, intelligence.
Three equations of increasing difficulty.
First person there decides who must complete which.
The correct numbers will unlock a key which frees both your flag
and your teammate's kayak.
Finally, speed.
Paddle to the tower and make a leaping grab for your last flag.
Then, it's a lung-busting swim to shore,
where the first team to raise all four of their flags
wins immunity from elimination.
Finish in last place,
and risk one of you going home all too soon.
Um…
When we're talking about being immune, it is very important that we win today.
Now, are you guys ready to get wet?
-Yeah! -[cheering]
I'm a little nervous for my part.
[tense music plays]
I'm not a very strong swimmer either…
[chuckles] …so I'm gonna take it slow, steady.
Yeah! Let's go!
I think I got a good shot at the strength.
It was a good solution based on everyone's skills and strengths,
and the best place to position myself.
[chuckling] I was an accountant in a past life.
Not doing that anymore,
but I feel like I can bring that mathematician skill.
I'm the best person for the speed.
I'm like a tilapia fish.
Am I jinxing it if I say I think I'm gonna win this?
[suspenseful music plays]
All right, everybody ready?
[Gabi] Yes!
All right, lock in!
-On your mark! -[contestants shouting indistinctly]
Get set!
-[air horn blows] -[Trey] Let's go, Irina!
-[contestants shouting] -[Gabi] Let's go!
[Shubham] Let's go, Avori!
-[contestants shouting] -[exciting music playing]
[Irina] I'm just going as fast as I can, which in this case is me doggy-paddling.
I can't swim that well,
and I'm really nervous especially since this is our first challenge.
Come on, Irina!
[pants]
[Lexi] Yes! Let's go, Georgia!
[Taylor] Georgia's the first one at the flag.
-[screams] -[Lexi] Georgia, you got it!
[Georgia] I'm quick on my feet. I'm really competitive.
But, oh my God, I haven't even unpacked my bags yet,
and we're straight into a challenge.
-Give me the flag. -[woman] Go!
Go, Tony!
[QT] Let's go, Avori! Go! Go! Nice!
[man] Attagirl!
[Taylor] All right, guys, we've got Eagles in first,
Bears in second and Wolves in third.
Wolves, you gotta pick it up!
[Trey] Come on, Irina!
Come on, Irina. Where you at?
[Irina] I'm freaking out, the pressure, everything is getting in my head.
I'm gonna have to put a shift in here.
[Irina] This is the first part, and we're already so far behind.
-Relax. Relax. -[Louis] Irina, let's go!
Keep going!
[Irina] And I did not imagine it to be so hard.
[Gabi] Let's go! Come on, let's go.
Irina, you gotta pick it up. You gotta go. Fast! Fast!
-Come on. Let's go. -[Trey] That's it!
Right, let's go, Gabi! Let's go, Gabi!
-[Tony] Strength. -Let's go, Tony!
[Tony] I love physical activity,
so this was literally made for me. [chuckles]
[Lexi] Come on, Tony, keep going!
Let's go, Shuby!
[Shubham] There are ropes on every corner.
Each of our flags are tied to one of these ropes.
Every rope I pick that's the wrong flag, I'm like, "Oh, I feel so bad."
You got it! You got it, Shuby!
[Shubham] Pick the right rope, man!
[Gabi] My heart is racing.
I am literally just trying to not give up
because it's really easy to give up when you're in last.
Tony, let's go! Get the right flag, brother!
-[Gabi grunting] -[suspenseful music playing]
[Tony] I picked up every single weight there was,
and of course my flag was on the last one.
It seems I picked up everybody's flag before I picked up mine, which sucks,
but it was a good workout, it was a good pump.
I've had harder ones at home.
Tony, you've got the flag. Now swim, brother!
-[Lorenzo] Go, Tony, quick! -[Georgia] Go, Tony!
[Lorenzo] Quick!
[Tony] I hate to toot my own horn…
Go, Tony! Quick!
-[contestants shouting] -…but I did phenomenal.
-[Taylor] Eagles have got a massive lead. -Come on, Gabs! Come on, Gabs!
-[Trey] Push, Gabi, push! -[grunts]
[Gabi] Hearing Louis and Trey's voice
is really what is getting me through this right now.
Keep going, Gabs!
[Gabi] Some of these weights are just so heavy, and…
[screams]
[Trey] Come on, Gabi!
…I don't feel like I can do it, but every time I hear their voice…
-Keep going! -[screams]
…I get this faith.
[Taylor] Wolves, you've got the flag!
Go! Let's go!
[Taylor] Get it clipped. You gotta go!
[Georgia] Go, Gabs!
-[Louis] Let's go, Gabs! Good girl! -[Trey] You're amazing!
[Taylor] Gabi is showing off her strength.
She's overtaken Shuby and put the Wolves in second place.
Is that both of them? You got both? You got both?
[Lorenzo] Yes, Lexi.
Go, quick!
[Lexi] I feel confident about the intelligence part.
Who're you giving the hard equation to?
[Lexi] I've given the hardest to the Wolves
because I do think that Louis's gonna be the strongest competitor in the final leg.
Oh, you lot have done us, yeah.
[ominous music plays]
[Trey] You got it, you got this!
[Georgia] Go, Lexi!
[Lexi] Your hands are shaking, your heart's racing.
Like, math isn't mathing, nothing's computing properly.
I realize it's a high number. I'm figuring it out.
But it also feels anxiety-inducing, and I'm stressed.
[Trey] Thank you.
-[Avori] Come on, Shuby! -[grunting]
[QT] Let's go, Shuby, you got it!
-[Avori] Let's go! -[QT] You got this!
You got it, Shuby! Keep swimming!
[Shubham] I finally got the blue flag.
I'm stoked, and I'm swimming like Nemo, but we are now behind the other two teams.
[Taylor] Lexi, is it the right answer or the wrong answer?
[Lexi] The first way I put it didn't work, and then I got it to 47.
I get the keys out of the lockbox, and I feel amazing.
I got it! I got it!
-[Tony] Pull it together! -[Georgia] Go, Lexi!
It's gonna be hard to catch the Eagles. They've got a massive lead.
-You got it, yeah? -Let's go!
-Give me the flags. -Yeah, here you go. Go!
-Yes! Go, Lorenzo! This way! This way! -Fuck!
Yeah, I know.
You got it, Shubes. Thank you.
[breathing heavily]
[Trey] The Eagles have given us the hardest puzzle to do.
Obviously, they feel threatened by us, and I just gotta do what I do best.
Trey, use your brain!
Eight, two, seven, nine, two. Four times seven… 28.
Twenty-eight plus nine is 27.
Or 37.
Thirty-five. That's it.
Well done, mate. Let's go.
[Trey] I feel really good about puzzles.
All of those puzzles were probably gonna be easy for me.
Not to brag or anything, not to brag.
Let's go, QT, you gotta pick up a lot of time for your team! Be the hero!
[QT] I was really scared Lexi was gonna put me on hard to keep us in last.
Could have been a smart move. But I was excited when I was medium.
Flag's in your back.
[QT] I feel good with math, so I felt like medium,
I was gonna be able to catch up for my team.
-[Taylor] Got it. -You're good.
Go, go, go!
[grunting]
Wolves are on the move!
-[suspenseful music playing] -[panting]
[grunting]
You got it. You got it, Gio.
Let's go, Gio!
-[QT] Go! -[Avori] Let's go, Gio!
[Louis] We had a rocky start. We did.
[panting]
[Louis] Seeing Lorenzo so far ahead, all I'm thinking is, "I gotta catch him."
[grunting]
[Taylor] The Bears are in last place, but hopefully Gio can turn that around.
[Gio] I see Louis in front of me, and I'm just paddling my heart out.
[Georgia] Go, Lorenzo!
Eagles, you're crushing it! You're kill--
What is that?
-[siren whoops] -Oh!
[dramatic music plays]
[Lorenzo] I'm the most competitive person I know.
I'm just gonna smash them at this point.
[music slows, distorts]
[music fades]
[Lexi] Let's go, Lorenzo!
-[dramatic music resumes] -[Tony] Lorenzo!
[Georgia] Go, Lorenzo!
[Lorenzo] I'm just fast, and also I have a very good stamina.
[Taylor] Wolves, you gotta go! Bears are creeping up on you!
[Lorenzo] In fact, people from the neighboring village
thought they saw dolphin, but in fact it was me.
-[Georgia] Go, Lorenzo! -[Avori] Go, Gio!
Lorenzo, I love it. Backstroking your way to victory.
[Trey] Dig, Louis, dig!
[Gabi] Come on, Louis!
[Louis] I'm a confident swimmer, but I have not been practicing.
Last time I was in the water, it was a hot tub, so I am a bit nervous.
Come on!
[Gio] My heart's beating out of my chest. This is really close. Like, I can get him.
[Georgia] Go, Lorenzo!
Let's go!
Let's go, Gio!
[Gio] Just trying to catch up with Louis was probably the hardest swim of my life.
-[woman whoops] -[Avori] Let's go!
Go, Lorenzo!
Oh my God.
[Lexi] Lorenzo, put them up!
-[Trey] Come on, Louis! -[Georgia] Come on, Lorenzo! Quick!
-[Tony] Come on, Lorenzo. -[Lexi] Lorenzo, you got it.
-[Tony] All the flags, Lorenzo! -[Lexi] Let's go.
-You got it. Go! -[Tony] Can we help him?
Where's the last one?
[Lexi] Let's-- Lorenzo, where is it?
[Tony] Lorenzo, all the flags!
[Lorenzo] Here.
-[Lexi] It's immunity, let's go. -[Tony] Come on.
Where's your last flag? Wolves are right behind you.
[Lexi] Lorenzo, where is it?
[Tony] Where's the flag?
Louis, if you get all four of your flags on the flagpole first,
your whole team will be immune from elimination.
[QT] Come on, Gio, you got this! He's missing a flag, let's go!
[Lexi] Were you supposed to grab two?
-I gave them to you. -[Lexi] I gave him the two.
Was there one on the kayak?
[suspenseful music playing]
[Trey] Raise the flag, raise it! Push!
That's it!
-[Wolves cheering] -The Wolves are the winners!
[air horn blows]
Wolves are the winners.
Safe from elimination.
[ominous music plays]
[spits, pants]
[Gabi] So good.
-Fantastic. -Proud of both of you, massively.
All the flags you gave me, they were attached to each other.
How could I have lost one?
[Lexi] Was it me?
[gloomy music playing]
[Lorenzo] I'm dying.
I'm physically, like, depleted.
Mentally, gone.
I don't feel good. Can you just call someone?
[Lexi] Yeah. Medic! Can we get a medic?
[Lorenzo] I put my all, and I feel I deserve better than this.
-[medic] Big breaths, okay? -[breathing heavily]
[medic] Deep breaths.
[Georgia] What the bloody hell happened?
The flag, I didn't know it wasn't connected to the kayak.
[Tony] I don't know how else to put it. I can't rationalize it.
Like, the most important thing is to have all the flags.
[tense music plays]
It's Lexi.
You lost us the game.
[Lexi] I'm so sorry, guys.
All right, the winners of today's challenge…
-[whoops] -…the Wolves.
Congratulations, guys.
You are safe from the first elimination.
-[Louis] Yes! -[Irina] Whoo!
One, two, three, Wolves!
-Whoo! -[squeals]
[Taylor] In second place, the Bears.
Second place is not bad, but I think it shows paying attention to detail
is, like, one of the most important things and not something to overlook.
Eagles, you were the first ones here.
However, you were missing one flag, which puts you in last place.
[Tony] We fumbled, and we lost.
-It was just a minor mistake. -This one was on me.
-Major mistake. -Completely on me.
Eagles… you are this much closer to elimination.
But more on that tonight.
So, why don't you guys get back to camp, finally get settled,
enjoy the rest of the evening, I'll see you tonight.
-Thank you. -Thank you, Taylor.
-[Taylor] Shubes, you want a piggy? -Are you sure?
No, come on. Get on here, dude.
We'll get you back. Get on.
Hop on. That's my boy. [grunting]
[upbeat rock music plays]
-That's good. -You got a big competition ahead of you.
[all cheering]
-[Louis] Let's go, let's go. -[Irina] Whoo!
-[screams happily] -Winning team!
[Trey] Hey, y'all!
All right, this is the winning cabin.
The camp's looking sexy. I'm excited to get this show on the road.
[Tony] Where's the mirror? What the--?
[Lexi] Oh no, not you.
-There's got to be a mirror. -Oh my gosh!
There's no mirror! There's no mirror!
[Avori] This is so cute.
-This is the best camp, like, ever. -Oh yeah.
Way better than any summer camp I've been to.
[Tony] Is there mirrors? I haven't looked in the mirror in, like, 45 minutes.
I think you should look in the mirror and cheer yourself on 24/7.
People lose, uh, and today I'm a loser.
And that sucks, but maybe tomorrow I'll be a winner.
You are the man!
[music fading]
[exhales]
I can't lie, that was intense.
It was so intense.
In my head, it shouldn't have been that hard.
-But it was. -[Louis] It was so hard.
[Gabi] When you jumped from the top and went into the water, I was like,
that looked like something from a movie.
-[Louis] Really? -It was so cool, yeah.
What do you think about the other teams?
[Trey] I think I'm most worried about Team Eagle.
-[Irina] Yeah, me too. -They would have won.
Like, if Lorenzo had had that flag.
[Tony] We crushed them!
We won by a mile.
-It wasn't even close! -[Lexi] It wasn't even close.
I know.
Um, I take full accountability for that one, guys. I am sorry.
I want the elimination over with.
I don't want to say goodbye to you guys. I will-- I will throw up.
[Lexi chuckles]
[Georgia] This is such a good team. We did so good.
They have every right to be pissed. I would be pissed at me.
I'm so disappointed in myself.
It just feels like crap.
[mellow rock music plays]
[music intensifies]
Wow, now this is the real outdoors.
[QT] Hey, guys, I've never been to camp before,
but I feel like you're all my, like, camp friends now.
You lost your camp virginity with us!
-Oh my gosh! [chuckles] -[Louis] Aw!
-Gross! -Graphic.
[all laughing]
Yeah, I love how competitive you make me.
You really fire me up to give it 100%.
-As you should. As you should. -[sighs]
We're tough competitors. We're smart people.
Apart from Tony,
we're smart.
[laughing]
He's strong, but…
He's strong, but smart?
[laughing]
This is far-fetched.
Everyone thinks, "Oh, Tony's so dumb. He doesn't know what he's talking about."
Everyone knows Tony's just a big muscle head.
You know, it hasn't gotten out that I'm super clever yet.
At least I hope not.
But you know, like, it's great. I'm everyone's favorite guy.
I'm like Shubham, but with, like, more muscle, and taller,
and a more explosive personality.
[giggling]
[feedback whines]
[female voice] Campers, please follow the path to the clearing behind the cabins
where Taylor is waiting for you.
[Louis] Wow!
[QT] Oh my goodness, what is going on?
-[Tony] Dude, my ass is clenched hard. -[QT] Aw.
[mellow rock music playing]
-[all shouting excitedly] -Oh my gosh! What is that?
It's like Christmas!
-Okay, now I'm nervous. -Wow.
[music fades]
Guys, thank you for joining me.
This beautiful structure you see in front of you might seem harmless,
but this wheel will decide whether you go home with $250,000
or empty-handed.
[dramatic sting]
Every time I spin this wheel, one of you will be leaving camp for good.
The goal of this whole competition is to keep your name off of the Wheel.
The first spin will happen tomorrow night.
What?
[Louis] Tomorrow night?
Why are we throwing a random wheel into summer camp
that spins with no bias and just kicks a person out?
Not a huge fan.
Wolves, since you won the challenge,
your names will not be on the Wheel
and you will not be facing elimination tomorrow.
-That's cool. -Come on, gang.
Proud of you guys.
Eagles, you lost the first challenge.
For that reason, all four of your names will go on the Wheel.
Wolves, you proved to be unbeatable,
so tomorrow you'll pick three campmates to face a punishment.
[contestants shouting indistinctly]
[sob echoes]
Only one will prove to be unbreakable.
The other two will find their names on the Wheel
and be closer to going home.
Tomorrow, all of you will be able to get to vote on who you want to go home.
That will fill up the rest of the names on the Wheel,
so you better hope you're unhateable.
-Gosh. -Jesus Christ.
-So you could be on more than once. -[Taylor] That is correct.
The more time your name appears on the Wheel,
the greater chance you have of leaving camp.
The stakes, I think, for everyone,
just, like, shot through the roof. [chuckles]
That wheel is intimidating.
I mean, obviously, it's a wheel of misfortune.
So all I'm thinking is,
"Please, you know, please don't let my name go on there."
Guys, I suggest you go back to camp, get some sleep.
Wolves, you have a lot of thinking to do.
There are three campers that you'll be giving punishments to tomorrow.
-[Trey] Oh my God. -[Lorenzo] Thank you.
[Tony] That was a lot to take in.
[pensive music playing]
Yo, that punishment sounds sketch, bro.
There's so many ways of losing. Not a lot of ways of winning.
[music continues]
[music fading]
[Lorenzo] I don't like this punishment. I don't think no one can punish me.
I'm not child.
[Tony] It'll be you or me.
They're not gonna vote Lexi 'cause they saw she fumbled it.
-But I can't get over it, dude. -I just play my bit.
And the rush of emotion of thinking we won.
And I was like, "Dude, we won." And then to see that we didn't…
And I just looked at her and I was like…
I just sat on the floor. I was like, I can't believe it.
You-- You-- You threw the game away, because we won by a mile.
We won by four minutes.
She had the easiest question.
And the yellow team, he did the hardest question
faster than she did the easy one.
[Lorenzo] Trey's quite clever with that.
[Tony] It doesn't matter.
You know, we all make mistakes. It could have happened to any of us.
It could have, but it didn't happen to any of us.
[chuckling] It happened to her, which is why I'm upset.
You kind of have a point there, but…
[Tony] I know this sounds bad, but if we keep her,
it's a liability and we might keep going on that wheel.
But if we-- if we get rid of her now,
our team gets stronger 'cause we lose the weakest link.
Right.
[mellow blues rock music plays]
I hate to say I'm holding a grudge, but I'm definitely holding a grudge.
Having her on my team is one of the most detrimental things.
Someone who can't survive under pressure is a massive hindrance.
I don't want this girl anywhere near my team.
[music continues]
[music fading]
[bugle plays over speakers]
[Gabi] No.
[Trey] Hey, yo, so bright. [chuckles]
[in sing-song] Rise and shine.
Guys, the way I slept knowing we're safe from elimination today…
I slept like a baby.
[Trey] I was kind of nervous.
I had a hard time falling asleep because I was thinking
about having to punish people.
-Oh yeah. -So, what do we have to do?
-Vote three people to do punishment? -Put up three people.
Two of those people are going to be put up on the Wheel,
except for the winner of the punishment.
Guys, we have some big decisions to make today.
I'm excited.
-I don't like doing this stuff. -[Louis] We've gotta be ruthless.
[exciting drumbeat plays]
[upbeat punk rock music plays]
[music ends]
[chanting] Wolves! Wolves! Wolves!
Being the first team to raise the immunity flag
and seeing the wolf fly high in the sky,
there's, like, no better feeling than that.
Oi, I'll tell you what, that's where it will stay.
-[Irina] Oh! -[Louis] That's where it'll stay.
Wolves!
We're the first team to do that.
That's like a badge of honor in and of itself.
[Tony] Lucky it wasn't a bench competition.
-I'd have smoked everybody. -Not a chance.
-You think you could bench more than me? -I'll bench more than you.
-No, you can't. No, you can't. -One hundred percent.
-I'm a weightlifting champion. You can't. -I'll bench more than you.
-I bench four plates. -How much…
[woman talking indistinctly]
-Four plates? -Yeah, yeah.
Oh, yeah, you-- you bench quite a bit, to be fair.
[Tony laughs]
[Louis] You bench quite a lot, I'm not gonna lie.
[Tony] I love Louis to death. Super awesome stud.
He looks like he's gonna give me a run for my money.
Gabi, absolute smoke show. Gabi's my type.
[Louis chuckling]
-[Gio chuckling] So easy. -That's so easy.
Gabi's hot.
-There you-- -[Lorenzo groans]
-[both scream] -[Gabi chuckles]
I'm sweating!
It's almost too hot to handle.
-[Gabi] It's so boiling. -It's too hot to handle, the water.
[Gabi] I'm happy you're here.
I feel like you're the kind of person that I need in here with me.
I'm not really, like, sure who I can trust on the other teams.
I feel, like, a little bit cautious about Avori
because I feel she's smarter than she's letting on.
They're her true colors.
-She'll try hide them. They will come out. -I think so, too.
I mean, I would definitely say that I'm logical,
but this game, unlike The Mole, isn't all about wit.
This is, like, physical, which really terrifies me
because, as you can see, I'm not the most physically fit person.
One secret I have been hiding from people
is that, you know, I played baseball, soccer,
softball, volleyball,
but I don't want people to see that
because if I show everyone how strong I actually am,
I'm going home.
I hate to say that I feel like the biggest snake here,
but I also just came from a show that was very snaky.
-You've had a few years to cool down. -[chuckles]
It was rough.
I didn't cool down. I'm still in that Mole mindset.
I'm still in that "watch your back" mindset.
-Don't be a snake towards me. -No, dude.
I like you. I like you a lot. We're Mole gang.
I think my strategy right now is to just get along with everybody
and whisper the right things into everybody's ears.
There's an impending doom of, like, I'm definitely my team's strongest player,
and I just want to reassure everybody to not vote for me.
I think it's gonna work. I… [scoffs]
[grunts warily, chuckles]
I don't really know if Tony is someone I can trust long-term.
He's definitely a loose cannon.
Lexi's really sweet.
Yeah. I know she made a mistake in dropping that flag, but I feel like…
I could have done that.
I feel like, in the moment, I could have done that.
You never know what's gonna happen. That's the beauty of this, though.
Like, you can maybe stop yourself from being up there as much,
but you-- you ultimately can't decide what the Wheel's gonna land on.
-Mm-hmm. -That's, like, really interesting.
I'm really nervous 'cause my name is on the Wheel.
I feel like it's not reassuring to have it up there at all.
I don't want to go home. I just got here.
I'm just meeting everyone. I'm having fun.
I feel like I really like it here, and I would hate to leave first.
-I hope both of us get far in the game. -Me too.
We need to win it. If I don't win, you've gotta win.
-Yeah, same. Same, girl, so… Right. -[groans]
Okay, I'm doing it.
[Lorenzo chuckles]
[Gabi groans]
[Lorenzo shuddering]
-[Gabi yelps] -[Lorenzo laughing]
[Lorenzo] I need a hot shower.
[mellow rock music playing]
-[Louis whoops] -[Shubham] Nice!
-That was good. -[Louis] That's a good throw. That's low.
[feedback whines]
[female voice] Wolves, please go to the hut to decide
who should face today's punishment.
[mellow rock music plays]
[Irina] Ready for the burn?
"This punishment is a leg-burning test of…"
-"Stamina." -Okay.
[Gabi] So it is a physical. I feel like we have the upper hand.
We already are the first team to set how the game goes.
So if we set it now that we're gonna be kind to the Bears
and kind of make them, like, hey, like, we saved you guys from punishment…
But-- But, at the same time, what about the Eagles?
The Eagles have already been punished. They lost already.
If we put them on again, we're not only creating an alliance,
we're creating a massive enemy.
If we start on the punishment, all of them,
they might go, "Well, your turn."
-Know what I mean? -Yeah.
-Yeah. No, I agree. -So we should do individual, not team?
The punishments add, like, an interesting layer of strategy
because the winning team, they're immune,
but they have to make a decision which may impact the rest of the game.
Guys, what about Lexi, Gio and Avori?
I think Gio should be on there for sure.
Physical, smart, no one's gonna vote for him.
Avori?
[Louis] She won't get votes.
No, she won't get any votes, and also she knows the game.
Okay.
Lexi… I do think it's gonna give her a chance
to show if she can handle it or not.
-Do we all agree on this? -[Trey] I agree.
[Gabi] I'm locked in.
[tense music plays]
[female voice] Campers, the challenge winners, the Wolves,
have decided those taking part in the punishment will be
Gio…
Lexi…
and Avori.
[Tony] Oh, no way. Phew!
I'm gonna make out with Louis.
[female voice] Your punishment is called "Burn."
[ominous music plays]
You will each compete to hold a wall-sit stress position for as long as possible.
Win, or see your name added to the Wheel.
That is not what I was expecting.
Oh my gosh, they're gunning for me.
Listen, if this is enough, just, like, if I can put in my penance now, like,
I'll take that.
I'm just trying to make up for the mistakes of yesterday.
I don't want to feel like a failure,
and I truly still feel like
I deserve to do this.
[dramatic music playing]
[music fades]
[female voice] Avori, Lexi and Gio,
your punishment is about to begin.
Upon hearing the air horn, you must assume the punishment position.
[Georgia] Come on, guys, you can do it!
[Avori] I am not in a good position.
If I do well, I have a target on my back.
If I don't do well, then my name goes on the Wheel.
[air horn blares]
[QT] You got it. You got it.
[Georgia] You can do it, guys. You got this.
[suspenseful music playing]
[QT] You guys got it.
[exhales]
[Gabi] Go, y'all. Breathe.
[Shubham] You guys are doing great.
You got this. You got this. You got this.
[music intensifies]
[Lexi] My legs are burning.
My hands are shaking. My heart is racing.
But all I want to do is redeem myself.
I'm telling you, once you drop, you're gonna regret it.
You're gonna regret it, bro. I'm telling you, hold that.
[Gio] All I'm thinking about is winning and staying off that wheel.
But wall sits are not my strong suit. This is torture for me.
[Louis] This is the hardest bit. G, it's the hardest bit.
[Lexi] I'm looking up and realizing that Avori and Gio
are about to show just how strong they are.
At this point, I feel sick.
[music building]
[music swells, fades]
Damn.
Oh, dude, this is tough to watch.
It's disappointing. I'm not gonna say it didn't hurt.
But that's all I can give.
[suspenseful music plays]
[Louis] Let's go.
Let's go. It's gonna get hard now.
[Avori] I don't really know what to do.
I feel like if I were to win, I'm gonna put a bigger target on my back.
Why would I do that to myself?
G, you got that. G, I'm telling you, you got that, G.
I'm telling you.
[Gio] There's a little pride and ego that I have on the line right now…
[chuckles dryly] …but it's hell.
All right, Avori, keep it up! Avori, keep it up! Let's go!
[Avori] My feet are literally falling off.
When you're in that situation,
something just comes out of you from deep within.
And I'm so competitive, I have to give it my all.
-[Louis] You're doing smashing. Let's go! -[Trey] You got it!
[Gio] I'm huffing and puffing.
My heart is exploding.
[Louis] Keep going! Keep going!
[music fades]
-[air horn blares] -[Louis] Avori!
-Avori! -Oh! Whoo!
[Avori] I can't feel my legs.
[female voice] Congratulations, Avori. You have passed the first punishment.
[Avori] What the heck?
[chuckles]
I-- I knew this was gonna happen.
I just-- I am so competitive, I can't let myself fail,
especially if I know I have it in me to win.
So, that's great. Great job, Avori.
Now everyone knows how strong you are. Good job.
[female voice] Lexi and Gio, your names have now been added to the Wheel.
All campers will shortly cast their votes
to fill the remaining 12 spaces on the Wheel.
[ominous music plays]
[music fades]
-She was ridiculous. -Crazy.
She actually smashed it.
[Lorenzo] This girl, on The Mole, was the most savage person.
She was a beast. She was a beast on The Mole.
She's made out of titanium.
Oi, Trey, come here.
I feel-- I feel like-- I feel like Avori's gotta go, blood.
-[Trey] Really? -[Louis] She's got to go.
-I've never seen a woman like this. -[laughing]
[Lorenzo] Incredible.
Rumor has it, they try and put syringe to do blood pressure. It--
-It broke. It broke. The syringe… -[Georgia laughing]
[imitates whooshing] …and it went into space.
She's got to go, blood. She's got to go.
[Tony] Everyone's like, "Oh, Avori, Avori, Avori…"
But I don't really mind a strong opponent.
Avori going home isn't gonna get me one step closer to victory, in my opinion.
But solidifying a team and making my team stronger might be.
So, if Lexi goes home, boom!
Then we'd be sick. Then we'd be like a super team.
[Tony] Should've thrown that.
[Avori] I didn't want my name on the board.
One time?
-Didn't want my name on the board. -Once won't hurt.
One in 18? You gotta gamble.
So is your team gunning for me, then, because I won?
You have a massive target on your back. I won't lie.
-But-- -Why?
So now Avori, she's shook.
She's fearful. And what do I have?
I have the solution. Avori, go after the weak link.
Go after the name that's already up there twice.
Is anyone on your team considering me? Will you be honest with me about that?
Lexi is gonna vote for you, or wants to vote for you.
-Lexi? -Yeah.
I think your best bet, if you want my opinion,
is Lexi because right now, statistically,
the only way to be better is to have her name there more.
[Avori] I'm so shook.
[gasps]
Oh my God, this is so much more cutthroat than I thought.
There you go, Avori. I am giving you the key to freedom.
Okay, I'm voting Lexi, then. If she's voting me, I'm voting her.
[Tony] I'm such a mastermind.
[chuckles softly]
[light, suspenseful music playing]
Yeah.
-Oh! Okay! -[woman] Wow!
They're gunning for me.
-What? -Their whole team's gunning for me.
[QT] The red? The Eagles?
-What? -[Avori] Yeah.
Tony just told me in the bathroom I have a huge target on my back.
-Wow. -[Avori] He said Lexi's going for me.
I need her out if she's going against me, so…
[QT] Right, right.
It just sucks when your, like, reputation precedes you.
They literally think that I'm like this genius mastermind,
but it's also, like… It's Tony, like…
Yeah. [sighs]
I don't know if I can trust him.
I should have thrown today.
I'm so sad.
Don't be sad. You'll make it through this.
[Avori] I know because I won the punishment,
that I'm on the chopping block.
Knowing that Lexi is gonna vote for me, what else am I supposed to do?
I'm now in an alliance with Tony, and I have to vote Lexi.
[female voice] Campers, it's now time to vote.
[dramatic music plays]
This is not as easy of a decision as I think some people may have thought.
[Shubham] Tony is a physical threat.
He's been able to help the Eagles team immensely.
[Trey] He's the strongest member of Team Eagle.
He's probably the strongest guy here, if I can be honest.
And for someone who's that strong, that worries me a little bit.
[Tony] Lexi, she's the weakest link.
She blew it at the race.
And frankly, I would love to see her go home.
[Trey] Avori proved herself in the punishment.
She is a tactical player.
She is a threat to me and my team. I do not trust her.
She is one of, if not the most talented people in this competition.
She is an incredibly strong competitor.
So, my vote is for Avori.
[dramatic string music plays]
[Avori] This game is completely different than I thought it was gonna be.
I thought that there were gonna be people that I could trust
and actually hold genuine alliances with.
But I just have to protect my own back, so…
I have to vote for Lexi.
[music intensifies]
This has been a tough decision, but I had to do what was best for my team.
I've kinda known this from the beginning, so this is an easy decision for me.
[tense music plays]
[Georgia] I really can't trust Tony.
[Lexi] I'll be honest with you,
from the moment that the challenge ended, I thought he was voting for me.
And you might not be wrong.
[sighs happily]
My sweet king.
Oh, dude, you better not go home tonight.
I really want to trust Tony.
I want to trust him so bad,
but I think they're all-- I think they're all four gonna go for me.
Oh, boy. Boy, oh, boy, if you go home, you're gonna look like such a dork.
A man like Tony, yeah?
He can go around doing work to make everyone vote for someone else,
manipulating them to sort of go against each other and only like him.
I mean, we're gonna see if it worked.
Oh God, please don't go home.
Please don't go home.
I will throw such a temper tantrum.
[sniffs]
[pensive piano music plays]
[Avori] I can feel the tension because someone's getting eliminated tonight.
[dramatic music plays]
Winning the punishment put the target on my back
because now people see how resilient I am,
and that might be the death of me.
[Tony] I've just kind of whispered in the right ears
to make all these chain reactions happen.
So I don't think I could have played that any better.
Oh, God, I just want to get it over with.
[Lexi] I don't feel super confident right now in my place.
I still worry that my team is campaigning against me.
[music building]
[music swells, fades]
Guys, welcome back to the Wheel.
As you know, with one spin, someone will be going home tonight.
[ominous music plays]
But we've got some names to fill.
Eagles, you were in first place for most of the challenge.
Unfortunately, you lost.
Therefore, your names are on the Wheel.
Are you confident moving forward?
Yes.
What makes you so confident?
Negativity's a poison. I don't let it inside my mind.
Seems somebody's been watching YouTube motivational videos.
[contestants laugh]
-Stay hard. -Respect, brother.
Lexi, you don't seem as confident. How are you feeling?
We've been waiting to find out.
I want to rip the Band-Aid and spin it. It's gonna stop where it stops.
[Taylor] Team Wolves, you guys won the first challenge.
You're safe from elimination.
You chose for the punishment Gio, Lexi and Avori.
Avori, you proved to be unbreakable, but because of that,
Lexi and Gio are both on the Wheel.
There are still 12 slots remaining.
Now it's time to find out how you all voted.
Shuby, step forward, please.
[ominous music continues]
Going into the vote, do you believe your name is up here?
I don't know. I think everyone was put in a tough position this early in the game.
And there's so many factors everyone's weighing through.
And, um, we'll see.
[chuckles]
[Taylor] All right, Shuby, let's see if you received any votes.
Yes, sir.
[dramatic sting]
Wow.
-[Avori] Wow. -Shuby, you received no votes.
-Thank you, guys. I feel bad. I'm sorry. -Congratulations, brother.
-Go ahead and rejoin your group. -Don't feel bad. You're amazing.
-Love you, Shuby. -[Taylor] Next, Lorenzo.
Please take one step forward.
You already were on the Wheel once. Let's see if anyone else voted for you.
[suspenseful music building]
-[dramatic sting] -[music resumes normally]
-[Avori] Nice. -No votes.
Just on there one time. You can rejoin your group.
-Thank you. -[Louis] Come on, Lorenzo.
[Taylor] Attaboy.
QT, Gio, Georgia,
please step forward.
Let's see if you received any votes.
[suspenseful music building]
[dramatic sting]
-[Gio] Good. -[Taylor] You received no votes.
-[QT and Georgia] Thanks. -[Taylor] Congratulations.
Lexi, it's your turn. You can step forward.
[ominous music plays]
Now, you're the first person to stand up with your name on the Wheel twice.
I think there'll be a few more.
Lexi, let's find out how many votes you received.
[suspenseful music building]
[dramatic sting]
[tense music playing]
Uh, I'm voting for Lexi.
[dramatic sting]
[Avori] I was going to vote for Tony,
but after learning that Lexi is voting for me,
I'm gonna go for Lexi.
[dramatic sting]
Lexi.
-[dramatic sting] -[Lexi] Oh man.
Lexi.
[dramatic music playing]
-[Georgia] Oh my gosh! -[Louis] What?! That's crazy.
That's crazy.
She is coming for one of my teammates in Avori.
At this point, I can't have that
because I want to keep my team strong as much as possible.
[Louis whispering] That's crazy.
-[Lexi] That's okay. -[Louis whispering] That's crazy.
-Man's laughing. -[Avori] Tony…
Lexi, you were voted for five times. Your name is on the Wheel seven times.
There are other names on there, so you still have a chance.
Tony and Avori, please step forward.
[tense music plays]
All right. The two Mole alumni.
Seven spaces and just the two of you left.
All right, seven spots still on the Wheel.
Let's see how many times Tony or Avori are on the Wheel.
[dramatic musical sting]
I'm voting for Avori.
[dramatic music plays]
Avori.
My vote is for Avori.
Avori.
In a game where you have to be unbeatable, unbreakable, and unhateable,
I think she is the perfect combination of the three,
and that's why she has to go.
[dramatic musical sting]
[mouthing] Whoa.
[music fades]
Avori, you're on the Wheel seven times.
-[melancholy music plays] -Tony, just once.
Avori, seeing those names light up, what's your emotion now?
I'm-- I'm honestly just speechless.
I-- I-- I have nothing to say.
What do I say?
I'm just really sad.
[Taylor] Tony, you received no votes,
which means your name is only on the Wheel once.
There's still a slim chance of you going home.
Where's your confidence level?
Same as it's always been.
Tony, Avori, you can rejoin your teams.
All right, guys, every segment on the Wheel has been filled.
Lorenzo, Tony, Georgia and Gio,
you're on the Wheel one time.
Lexi, your name is on the Wheel seven times.
Avori, your name is also on the Wheel seven times.
Your odds don't look great, but this game still comes up to chance.
[suspenseful music playing]
-It's time for the spin. -[music fades]
Good luck to you all.
[clunking]
