[dramatic music playing]
[narrator] Imagine being invited here.
Finding a million dollars in your room.
Knowing it's yours to keep, but only if you can hide the fact
you've won the money.
[dramatic sting]
Because the other players want what you have.
And will take you out of the game in order to get it.
-[man] Her box is empty. -[gasps]
You gotta be kidding me.
This is unbelievable.
You're all not very good at this game.
[narrator] Getting the million dollars is easy.
But how far would you be willing to go to keep it?
[man] The road is paved with lies, deceit, and manipulation.
This is not for everybody, y'all. This is something gut-wrenching.
-[gun blasts] -[narrator] It's a game of deception.
-You've been nothing but defensive. -Of course I'm defensive.
-That is a lie. -That makes me look like the millionaire.
You're a pack of animals fighting at each other. And I'm enjoying that.
[woman] Play with pigs long enough, you get dirty.
-[narrator] Win the activity… -Go, go, go.
…get the clue, find the millionaire.
-[all cheering] -[barking]
[screaming]
[suspenseful music crescendos]
The millionaire is lying about their profession.
We got 'em.
[narrator] For these 12 strangers, it starts now.
[theme music playing]
-[lock clinks] -[music ends]
[fast-paced string music playing]
[helicopter blades whirring]
I think they're here.
Whoo!
[host] The guests will pick their room key from this bag,
and one of them will unwittingly become the game's first millionaire.
Wow.
Welcome. Welcome to The Stag.
Welcome, welcome.
Would you please pick your room key?
Sure.
[host] Oh, the gazelle. The eagle. The snake.
Ooh.
There's your key.
Thank you. Should I, like, curtsy or something?
Enjoy The Stag.
The boar. Are you a boar, Kyle?
I… I got… I got a few similarities. Maybe a little feral here and there.
This is probably the nicest place I've ever been my whole life.
Maybe the nicest place I ever get to be in in my whole life.
Now, if you'd like to go through and join the other guests.
-Have champagne and an apéritif. -Fantastic. I look forward to it.
-Goodbye. -[man] Off we go.
[gleeful chatter]
-[woman] Hi. -[man] How are y'all?
-[woman] Welcome. -Nice to meet you.
-I'm Samantha. -Samantha. Cheers, Jaimi.
-Hi, guys. [chuckling] -Hello, hello, hello.
[in singsong] I hear voices.
-And we have another one. Hey. -Hey.
-I'm Lauren. -[Sam] Hi, Lauren.
-[Kyle] Lauren! -Hi!
-[man] Hello! -Hello!
Being here to compete for a million dollars feels surreal.
I don't anticipate losing.
-[Lauren] What's your name? -I'm Sydnee.
You have a serpent.
-Am I giving snake vibes? -[Kyle] I don't know.
-Is that a wolf? -I got a wolf. Yeah.
[howling]
-[laughing] -Yeah, that's perfect.
I'm jealous you got snake. I got rabbit.
Oh, I love the rabbit.
[woman] Everyone here is super fancy.
And I'm just like, "Oh my God, there's not a single other nerd here."
I hope that I can pull that sociable part of me out of my butt
and chat about freaking, I don't know,
makeup brands and the Kardashians.
[chuckling]
[Lauren] Where are you from?
-Orange County, California. -[Lauren] Okay.
We need a Midwesterner to fill it out.
-Me. North Dakota's the Midwest. -North Dakota's in the Midwest?
I left my three kids and my husband to come here and try to win this game.
And being away from them is the hardest thing I've ever done,
so I have to win it. [chuckles]
-[Kyle] What's your name? -Lydia.
Lydia? Lydia, I absolutely love your skirt.
-Thank you. -'Cause I'm from Louisiana.
It reminds me of Mardi Gras so much.
-Yeah! Thank you all. -I love it. [chuckling]
-Yeah. Cheers, y'all. -[man] Cheers. To The Stag.
-[all] To The Stag. -[Sam] I love that.
-[man] To The Stag. -Cheers.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome.
[all cheer]
I'm your host, Peter. Welcome to The Stag.
-[man] Thank you. -Thank you.
I'm delighted to inform you of the adventure we're about to begin,
a unique game of predator and prey.
-Oh no. -[scattered laughter]
-It was nice knowing you. -I don't wanna be the prey.
In each of your rooms right now, there is a box.
And in one of those boxes, there is a million dollars.
-Yeah. Got my attention. -[all chuckle]
[Jaimi] Go on.
Whoever finds the million dollars in their room gets to keep it.
But only if they can hide in plain sight until the end of their stay.
[Lauren] Okay.
Keep your secret. Keep your money.
[Lauren] I hate lying. So I'm struggling at the morality of it.
And yet, that's the game.
[Peter] It'll be up to the rest of the guests
to figure out who has the money
and to hunt down their millionaire prey.
[chuckling] What?
We have to kill them to get the money.
But pay attention because the millionaire is also playing a game.
Every day, they will have their own secret agenda.
If they're successful,
they will win an advantage that helps protect their secret.
So look out for any odd behavior.
[Sam] I'm kind of really looking forward to getting to know everybody
and, more importantly, figuring out who's the liar.
Oh, yeah, by the way, uh, I'm a New York City cop.
I'm not telling any of these people that.
Cops know things. We're really good at reading people.
[Peter] Feel free to retire to your room. Enjoy.
[Sam] Okay.
[man] Well, all righty then, folks.
-[man whistles] -[suspenseful music playing]
[excited chatter]
The room.
[Jaimi] This is all about deception. This is why I'm excited to play.
I am willing and ready to do anything that I have to do in order to win.
End of the day, it's about me and this money.
Palace for the wolf. Here we go. Wow.
I really hope that when I open up the box the money's not in there.
I want to lay low, learn people's tendencies,
learn how they play the game, and get the million dollars
as close to the end of this game as possible.
It does me no good to get a million on day one.
This is my room?
I'm gonna have a little Princess Diary moment.
Just take it all in.
I work at In-N-Out. I flip burgers.
There's champagne!
As much as I want to be the millionaire,
I don't want to be the millionaire yet. It is a lot of pressure.
This is incredible.
Okay.
[Se Young] I'm really hoping the money is not in this box because
I really don't think I'll do well.
I'm not a good liar.
[exhales deeply] Okay.
Oh, it's… it's a paper.
I got what I wanted, but I'm also kind of disappointed.
[grunts]
[exhales deeply]
[Lauren] I'm hoping I open this box and there's nothing in it.
I don't wanna be prey this early on.
[suspenseful music playing]
Here we go. Moment of truth.
-[chuckling nervously] -[sighs]
Okay.
[whispering] Oh goodness.
[suspenseful music intensifies]
-[music stops abruptly] -[gasps]
[chuckling] No.
No! Oh my God!
Oh no. Okay, okay. No. This is… This is good.
It's no big deal.
[laughing] Oh, oh my God. What is happening?
I am so scared to be the millionaire,
and I'm terrified to start that grueling game of deceit.
It's good, it's good, it's good. It's good. It's gonna be fine. Okay. Wow.
I'm gonna act like nothing's different at all.
My box is empty.
Just have to be totally normal.
[knocking on door]
[dramatic music playing]
Come in.
Housekeeping.
-Hi. -So?
Oh my God!
[laughing] That was my reaction.
That is a million dollars. Are you good at keeping secrets?
I'm gonna have to be.
[intriguing music playing]
"Right now, someone has just been made a millionaire."
"It is your job to hunt them down."
"They will be doing whatever they can
to keep their secret and keep their money."
You're the prey.
[groans] I don't want to be prey.
You're the only millionaire in this house, apart from me.
[chuckles] Well…
"Be observant and look for clues, and do well in the guest activities."
"Because if you do, you can gain information or strategic opportunities
to sniff out the millionaire."
But don't worry. You'll have help.
Your secret agenda is the following.
Before the first activity at sundown, you must hug each of the guests.
Each of them.
And if you accomplish it, you will get two extra votes
at tomorrow's elimination dinner.
But remember, the guests are watching everyone for odd behavior.
Oh, jeez.
Are you a hugger?
No. [chuckles] I look like a hugger.
An already hard game just got a lot harder.
I have to hug every single person, totally casually,
without them knowing that it's weird. [laughing]
I have no idea how I'm gonna do this.
[chuckling] It's fine.
Oh my God. It's not fine.
[harp glissando plays]
Hello, guests.
Please be aware that the millionaire has just been given their secret agenda,
which must be completed before this evening's guest activity.
Our activity will begin in two hours.
You don't want to compete on an empty stomach.
Lunch is served.
Well, I guess the hunt is on.
I guess this game is afoot 'cause here we go. [laughing]
The beauty of being a natural photographer
is that I am the king of nonverbal communication.
Nobody can hide all their tells. Nobody.
The money's not mine. Yet.
[dramatic music playing]
I don't know what that is, but it looks fancy and looks good.
Can't wait to eat that.
The millionaire having secret agendas of their own,
they're gonna have to have finesse with this
because all of us are keeping an eye out for this now.
What I'm trying to do now is look for who's kind of acting weird
and a little bit sketchy.
-Pardon me. -[Se Young] Wow!
[Harry] This looks extremely fancy.
-I ain't used to this. -[Lauren] Oh, it's so beautiful.
In Hawaii, we hold hands, and we do what's called a pule.
Basically, it's just a prayer, so somebody else can lead it, please,
but we should do it as a pule, which is just holding.
[Sydnee] Okay.
-That's not my get-down, but I respect… -[Kyle] Never said grace in my whole life.
We might need to do that one at the next meal.
-[Lauren] There you go. -Yeah. I think we should dig in.
[Chris] I'm hungry.
-[Harry] All right. Dig in. -[Jaimi] Okay.
[suspicious music playing]
-That was weird. [chuckles] -Yeah. Yeah.
I'm looking for anything that might be that secret millionaire's agenda.
And Harry said, "Well, in Hawaii, we hold hands and we say grace."
He could be the secret millionaire, and maybe that was his agenda.
Moving forward, I'm definitely gonna have my eye on Harry.
-[Jaimi] You guys want a drink? -I don't want to get sleepy. [chuckles]
-[Jaimi] That's true. -Oh man. There's so much to think about.
Your goal should just be to stay in the game, right?
And you do that by contributing to the challenges,
sharing information with people, building relationships.
Right.
I need to accomplish the agenda before the challenge begins.
Every minute feels like it counts,
but it's super awkward to hug people that I'm literally just meeting.
So I think that I just need to capitalize on any moment
that I have with these people.
I'm gonna become a hugger.
I'm so glad to get just you because I've been kind of like wanting to get, um…
-Some insight? -Let's sit. Let's sit.
[Lauren] I wanna pick your brain. You're a smarty-pants.
[Se Young] I'm really not. Okay. So I'm thinking, seven girls, five guys.
We should just get all the guys out first.
-Oh, that's interesting. -And once all the guys are out,
then we play the game of, you know,
trying to figure out who the millionaire is.
My goal is to establish who are the people that I can initially trust.
Lauren feels very genuine,
and she is such a kind and welcoming person.
-Hello. -[Chris] Mind if we join?
-We got two boys. -[Lauren] All right.
We were just talking about it's so important
to know what people's strengths are.
I'll… I'll tell you honestly, I don't have a read on anything.
On any person right now.
-No. -We'll see.
It's so easy to find a tiny thing,
-and then you blow it up… -Blow it up.
…into this big thing.
[Chris] So if you see something, you have to share it.
Like if you see someone do something weird.
Do you like the wine, Kyle?
Uh, I'm more of like, "Yeah, guys,
let's get a case of Coors Light and… and just sit."
-[Lauren] Me too. -[all laughing]
[Chris] Let's go get a… Let's go get a beer. Let's go.
[Se Young] Okay, I'm gonna go pee.
[Chris] Are we going out back?
Thank you. It's so nice to talk to you guys.
I'm actually getting to know you guys.
Yeah, thanks for the chat, guys.
-It's almost like you're leaving. -No, I just… I just love this.
[Lauren groans]
Kyle says, "It's like you're leaving or something."
And in that moment, my heart dropped to my gut
because it's a little bit of attention that I don't want.
-I'm gonna hug you too. -Yeah, man. Bro hug.
-Aw. -I'm a hugger. Bro hug.
I'm making sure, moving forward,
that I can find natural ways to do this.
Because people are already talking about weird behaviors,
and this could be a weird behavior. It sure is for me.
You know, when we were at lunch and Harry suggested,
"Do you want to say grace?" You know, "Why don't we all hold hands?"
Maybe his agenda is to get us all to hold hands. See what I'm saying?
[softly] That's so funny that he failed. I love that. That's so funny.
[Lydia] Could be.
Oh, you're so observant. I love that.
You think the way I do.
-[Se Young] Oh. -You and I are thinking alike.
[birds chirping]
[Harry] You have a pineapple.
Is it just an ordinary, old-fashioned pineapple?
-[chef] Pretty much. -I am an advocate for Maui Gold.
What are you talking about, Harry?
-Yes, I have had Maui Gold. -What are you advocating?
-It's called Maui Gold. -Okay.
It took them 100 years to engineer it.
[Lauren] Hmm.
There's no acidity to it. It's very, very light, and it's…
-Memorable. -Memorable.
-Memorable. Like you, buddy. -Memorable. I like the--
That's to say the least, huh? [laughing]
You're nothing if not memorable. I appreciate you.
[groaning] Oh.
Oh, you're awesome.
I'm excited for the challenges because I think someone at some point
is gonna tip their hand.
So it's like who's going too hard? Who's not going hard at all?
What brought you here? Like, what do you wanna do with it?
-[Phil] Oh, with the money? -Yeah.
One of my strategies is to get these people to trust me
and to build these alliances.
You want to give them something to believe in you,
so that they can trust you.
So I am ready to turn on the waterworks to see who I'm able to connect with.
[sighs] So… um… I've dealt with, like, infertility,
and um, you feel like a failure.
You feel like, "Why can't I do it?" and…
we ended up having my son, which he's, like,
the biggest miracle in the world.
[voice trembling] And then, um, I've had six miscarriages since then.
So, like, it's almost like I would give a million dollars
just to build my family. I don't want to give up.
-Even forming connections like this-- -We're sobbing in here, so…
-We're crying, so… -[all chuckling]
[chuckling] What's happening?
Walking into this room of crying people is a moral dilemma.
In my normal personality, I would never use a hug to benefit me.
I'm struggling. A lot.
Oh my gosh.
[laughing] I'm sorry. How am I going to do that?
Okay, okay. Hold on, hold on. Who needs…
[Sydnee] We all need a hug. Sydnee will take a hug too, please.
Sydnee. Okay. You're very tall. Oh honey. What's wrong?
[Sam] Watch the glasses.
[Lauren] Sorry. Did I sit on your glasses?
-They should be cool. -Okay. I have no idea what's going on.
Oh, it sucked. And I didn't even hug Cara
because I'm pretty sure I already hugged her,
but I don't think I did.
This is a lot to keep track of. [chuckling]
-[Cara] We all need a hug. -[Lauren] Can someone bring tissues?
-[Cara] I'm genuinely so nervous. -I am too. I could use a hug.
I know. Give me a hug. I could use one too.
-[both groaning] -[Lauren] It's… It's a lot.
[Sam] When people are lying, it's like something that goes off.
All of us cops feel it, and it's happening right now.
[Lauren] Hi.
Lauren's bubbly, and she's an adorable mom from North Dakota.
It's coming off as too much.
-Hurry up. Get your seat before he does. -[both chuckling]
I have until the activity to get this done,
and I'm feeling the pressure because I still need Corey and Jaimi.
This is the part where we still like each other.
-[Jaimi] I know. -Somebody could make it easy.
-And say, "Hey, I'm the millionaire." -[all laughing]
I'm gonna do everything I can to figure out who's lying,
but I don't have a really good sense on everybody,
so I'm gonna be asking a lot more questions.
[indistinct chatter]
Okay, so I've been dying to ask. What do you do, you know?
So, I'm in Scottsdale and bottle service.
Like, more of kind of the glamoury, glitzy lifestyle.
Which bar do you work at?
Um, just one of the ones in Old Town Scottsdale.
Okay. Yeah, that whole, like, town. Like, Old Town, right?
Yeah, it's nice. A lot of us bounce around
between the different ones too, which is really cool.
Yeah.
Immediately, I know she's lying.
Sydnee couldn't name not one bar out of all the bars that are there.
I've been there one time, and I could probably name more than she named.
She is gonna be so deceitful.
[sinister music playing]
[Sydnee] I tell everyone I'm in bottle service,
but it's not the truth of who I am.
I'm trying not to give away things that could be major clues later on.
We're playing for a million dollars here. I'm not willing to give anything up.
Lydia, I feel like you owe us some…
-[Sam] Yes. -… some answers.
-Miss Inquisitive over here. -Okay, yeah.
I'm a grandma.
[all] Aw.
And uh, I work as an escrow officer for a title company.
You hold the cash.
I think at first glance, everybody sees me as this sweet lady from Texas,
and that's exactly what I want them to see.
[unsettling music playing]
-[Jaimi] Do you have kids? -[Sam] I have one.
He's a little boy, like, and I'm not even an emotional person…
-Can you say his name? -[chuckling] I think so.
-[Jaimi] We don't have to talk about it. -No, it…
I'm getting choked up, and I don't even have a kid.
It's okay. His name's Oliver, and he's like…
[Lydia] Oh.
…and he's such a little miracle.
But I will say this, like…
I lost my job during COVID, and I know, like, a lot of…
parents were able to stay, and like, be with their kids during that time,
so I'm like, super grateful for that.
[Lydia] What were you doing before Oliver?
Just working in, like, a, um… um, a dental office.
[dramatic whoosh]
[Corey] I have a suspicion about Sam right now.
I don't know if I'm buying those tears and, "Feel sorry for me."
"I'm emotional. I'm gonna cry."
That's odd behavior, for sure.
[harp glissando plays]
Guests, I hate to hound you,
but it's nearly time for your first activity.
Please change into athleisure, and join me on the lawn at dusk.
[insects chirping]
[dog barking in the distance]
-[Jaimi] Are you guys nervous? -I'm so nervous.
[Jaimi] That's why we have the giggles. We're like…
[squeals] I'm nervous. My God.
[Lauren] My time is ticking.
I still need Corey and Jaimi.
[Lauren groans]
I see Jaimi,
and I make sure to have proximity.
I need one more reassurance. I got this. Okay.
Um…
-Oh, you need another… -I need another.
-[Jaimi] Uh, let's see. -[all chattering]
I try to get her to reassure me because she's great at that.
So you can repeat the same one. I don't care. Okay, say it again.
-It's a mantra. -[Jaimi] Yeah. Look here.
Wait, that's actually a really good point.
If there's running, who could run?
[suspenseful music playing]
I've just got to go in ready to be last. [chuckling]
-Yeah. Fear is what? One more time. Fear… -I would. I guess--
Fear is excitement without the breath.
Oh my gosh. It's all I needed. That's all I needed.
[laughing]
[Sam] Lauren is hugging everybody.
What is that about?
Possibly a secret agenda?
-[Lauren] I'm so excited. -[laughing] Yeah.
-You guys have no idea how excited I am. -[Jaimi] I'm so excited.
-[women chattering] -[Sydnee] Hey.
[Phil] Hey, hey, hey.
Here we go, folks. Come on, guys. It's our last chance. This is it.
-[Lauren] Corey? -[Harry] All 12.
-[Phil] All right. -[Harry] Come on. One, two, three.
[all] A million!
[Harry chuckling]
[Lydia] I'm really looking for any kind of different behavior.
And I think Harry's agenda was to get everybody to hold hands.
I really think Harry might be the secret millionaire.
[dog barking]
-[Phil] Uh-oh. -[Harry] Oh boy.
[Phil chuckling]
-[Harry] It's getting real. -[Phil] And it begins.
[Lauren] I only have a little time left,
so I'm keeping an eye out for Corey.
I keep kind of meandering to the back.
Gosh!
All right?
I'm leaning in to my nerves,
and hopefully that gets him to give me some reassurance
as my, you know, big brother figure.
-Nervous? -[chuckling] Yeah. I'm sort of nervous.
-You're good, you're good. -I'll be all right. I'll be all right.
Yeah, you good.
It works like a charm,
and my vote counts three times. [chuckling]
[sighs] I feel so relieved.
It's done. [laughing]
[Peter] Welcome.
Thank you for joining me this evening for our very first activity,
where you will be using your mental and physical strength.
[Lydia] Mmm.
[Peter] This game brings out animal instincts,
and in order to survive, you'll need to remain calm under pressure.
The six guests that win this activity will gain entry to the trophy room.
[tense music playing]
Inside the trophy room, you'll gain information
to help you find out who the millionaire is.
Oh man.
I need to get into the trophy room
because they're gonna learn information about the millionaire,
and the millionaire's me.
And I need to be able to deter the conversation. [chuckling]
Before we begin, I'd like you to split up into pairs,
where one of you is the runner and one of you is the code breaker.
I can run fast, but… [chuckling]
[indistinct chatter]
Right now, as far as alliances go, I am definitely looking at Phil.
I trust his judgment.
-[Lauren] I'm a smart gal. -Done.
-I need a brain. That'll work. -[Cara] Okay.
I didn't actually choose my partner.
I just look over, and there's Sam, staring me down.
I do not trust that girl as far as I can throw her, man.
Okay. I want you to take a look at your partner.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Your opponent.
[Lauren] What?
[Peter] You will actually be pitted against each other.
-No! -Oh, we're going against each other.
-[Jaimi] Uh-huh. -[Lydia] No.
[Sydnee] Plot twist! That's okay.
We're okay. We're okay. We're okay. We're okay.
Yes! Game over.
Bye-bye, Sam.
[Peter] Here's how it will work.
The runner will be running an obstacle course.
The code breaker will be hunting down the runner
with the help of the estate's attack dog.
[barking]
I think Seance is hungry.
Run that back. What?
I don't like it.
[Peter] The runner must run through the obstacle course,
opening three gates to make it to the finish line.
At each gate, there is a lock and four keys.
Only one of the keys will open the lock.
To release the hound, the code breaker has to solve the lock.
They will find an eight-symbol code.
They must remember it…
-[Seance barking] -…and then unleash the dog
on their opponent.
[sinister music crescendos]
[Sam clears throat]
[Peter] If the runner can beat the hound to the finish, then they win.
If the hound catches the runner,
then the code breaker wins.
Let's see who will go first.
Phillip and Sydnee.
-Are you kidding me? -[all chattering]
When you hear the horn, the activity will start.
-[guests exclaiming] -[Lauren] You guys got this.
Peter, your scotch.
[Harry] Boss man enjoying the whole thing with his drink.
[barking]
Oh shit.
[Sydnee] That's a Belgian too.
[continues barking]
[laughing]
[Sydnee] I need to win this challenge
because whatever is waiting for me in that trophy room
is gonna be a huge advantage on figuring out who this millionaire is.
-[air horn blowing] -[Seance barking]
[suspenseful music pulsing]
[whispering] Right. Up. Down. Left. Up. Up. Right. Left.
[Harry] Get it. Come on. Come on, Syd. Get the next one.
[Jaimi] Run it, Syd.
[music continues]
He's trying to memorize the code in one go.
[buzzing]
[Peter] Oh no, he didn't remember. He's back.
Oh wow, that means the code's harder than we thought.
Up, right, down.
[suspenseful music intensifies]
[Sydnee] Going through the maze, I got through the first two gates…
[music fades]
…and the third one sticks.
[Seance barking]
[chimes, buzzes]
[suspenseful music continues]
[cheering]
Oh, wow.
[guests cheering]
[Peter] So, Sydnee, congratulations.
You defeated Phillip,
and you will be going into the trophy room.
Next up, Lydia and Jaimi.
[Lydia] Good luck.
-[Jaimi] Thank you. -[Harry] Let's go.
[air horn blows]
[suspenseful music playing]
[panting]
Right. Up. Down. Left. Up. Up. Right. Left.
Phil's a pretty smart guy.
So now I know this is gonna be hard.
So, when I see how difficult that code looks,
I decide to do it in two steps.
Right, up, down, left.
I memorize the first four symbols.
I put the first four in.
I look at the second four symbols. I run back.
[chiming]
[chimes]
-[Harry] She's through. -[Kyle] Through one.
-[Lydia] And I release the hound. Get her! -[barking]
-[Lauren] Dog's out. -That was fast!
-[Cara] Come on, Jaimi! Come on, Jaimi! -[Harry] Come on, Jaimi! Come on, Jaimi!
-[barking] -[air horn blows]
Next up, Lauren and Harry.
-[Lauren groans] -[air horn blows]
[Seance barking]
[Lauren] I noticed that Lydia did this in two parts.
So, I'm gonna do what she did.
And I'm gonna be quick about it.
This dog is gonna bite his butt. Sorry.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Sam] Wow, he's quick.
[Cara] Come on, Lauren!
[groaning]
[laughing]
[grunting]
Go, go, go, go, go!
[Seance barking]
[grunts]
[Harry groans]
[sighs] I'm sorry, Harry.
[Harry sighs]
I'm so relieved that I get into the trophy room
because I get to know what's shared, and I get to derail it as much as I can.
[Peter] Kyle and Cara.
[air horn blows]
I got this.
[suspenseful music playing]
-[chimes] -[Seance barking]
[Harry] Dog! Dog!
[Peter] Cara won. Se Young and Chris.
[Se Young] Down, left, right, up.
Right, up, down.
-[barking] -Go get him! Get him, get him, get him!
[Lydia] Did she say, "Get him"? [laughs]
[Chris groans]
[Peter] Se Young will be going to the trophy room.
The final pairing is Sam and Corey.
I want so badly to make it to that trophy room to figure out
if Lauren is the millionaire.
-[air horn blows] -Go.
[Corey] Let's go. Okay.
Left, up, down, wait… Right.
Come on, baby, get in there.
[buzzing]
[chimes]
[grunting]
Up, right, down, left.
-Up, up. Two. -[buzzing]
[chimes]
-[guests cheering] -Oh no.
Up, right, down, left. Up, up, right, left.
[grunting]
[panting] Oh!
Go, go, go!
[dramatic sting]
[Corey groans]
-Okay. -[all cheering]
Oh my God.
[Peter] Corey, well done.
[Harry] Sam never got the gate.
-Dog never got loose. -[Sydnee] She never opened it.
[Sam] Not being able to get into the trophy room,
it's just a really sucky feeling.
And Lauren, who is really suspicious,
is going into the trophy room, and that's a problem.
[ominous music playing]
Congratulations to the winners.
Se Young, Lauren, Cara, Sydnee, Lydia,
-and the lone man, Corey. -[all cheering]
You've all earned access to the trophy room!
Everyone else, you've failed.
[dramatic music playing]
At least the dog enjoyed herself.
Tomorrow, we have an elimination dinner.
You will all vote for who you think is the millionaire.
Whether you are right or wrong,
that person will leave The Stag immediately.
Good night.
[music continues]
[harp glissando plays]
Guests, I hope you've woken up feeling refreshed.
I must tell you that yesterday, the millionaire was successful
in accomplishing their secret agenda.
Their reward is three votes at tonight's elimination dinner.
[suspenseful music playing]
[Chris] The millionaire is absolutely stunting on the rest of us right now,
and the agendas are their key to everything.
I mean, you cannot have a more powerful power in the game
than getting three votes at the first elimination dinner.
So we have to get the millionaire out before they get too powerful to stop.
[Peter] Our first trophy room is after breakfast.
It'll be a critical moment for the rest of you to gain information
and work together to hunt the millionaire.
Hope you're hungry.
-[Phil] Is that turkey bacon? -[Corey] It is.
-Oof. -[Harry] Did you have breakfast?
[Jaimi] I had an orange and a yogurt.
I just pretty much sucked my yogurt out of the cup, so…
What do we got in there?
A smoothie, Lauren.
All right. I can do that.
So I'm sitting here with two additional votes,
but from this point forward,
I need to be playing more of a chess game.
I think in the next couple hours
I need to find some reason
why someone else is suspicious.
You were so quick. It was unbelievable. Morning!
-[Lauren] Morning. -[Se Young] Morning, Sam.
-Good morning. -How are you doing? You look adorable.
-I'm exhausted. -[Harry] Now let me think again.
When we were standing there before we went down,
do you remember who was the first one
to be like, hands in, and we're gonna do…
[Cara] Harry.
Was it?
Oh, guys. I think it was.
-Yeah. -[Lauren] It was.
Wait a second, wait a second, wait a second.
I don't… I don't want this to be Harry.
There was wanting to do some sort of holding hands at lunch, was it?
-[Cara] Yeah. -[Se Young] Mm-hmm.
-And then there was the holding, doing… -[Cara] Yeah.
So maybe it's you have to get all the hands to touch.
[brooding music playing]
I feel bad! I feel bad. [chuckling]
But Harry sort of put a target on his back by just being who Harry is.
So I throw his name out there.
A single thing wouldn't make me suspicious.
-Multiple things lining up. -But those two things…
The Harry theory has a lot of angles to it…
Yeah.
…that some I buy, and some I don't buy.
It… It's just a little bit.
Not enough for me to be like, "It is," you know, but…
It's… It's something to chew on. Something to chew on.
[all chattering]
All right, my love, I got to go back to sleep.
-Really? Oh. -[Sam] I'll be back soon.
-[Lydia] Take care. -Don't do anything cool without me.
I'm gonna go back. Gonna take a little nap. I'm exhausted.
Didn't wake up on the right side of the bed today,
-but see you guys in a bit. -Poor thing.
-She looks like she didn't sleep well. -Feel better.
[Corey] I don't trust Sam.
She's being real suspicious.
Crying the very first day.
And now she's saying, "I don't feel well."
I'm like, "You really need a nap right now in the middle of this?" Come on.
[dramatic sting]
[Sydnee] Got real quiet all of a sudden.
[dramatic music playing]
Guests, welcome to the trophy room.
It's a magical place, but this room comes with a caveat.
The information you will receive here is powerful.
Right now, each of you needs to make a very important choice.
You must pick a box that you suspect has the million dollars inside.
When each of you have chosen,
I will reveal whether the money is in one of those six boxes.
[music intensifies]
What?
Which will narrow the playing field, getting you one step closer
to finding out who the millionaire is.
[dramatic sting]
[whispering] Holy…
Lydia, who do you accuse?
I hate to accuse anyone, but I've got to pick a name?
Yes.
I pick Harry.
[Peter] Why?
Because I think maybe he's a shark. In plain sight.
[Peter] Okay. Moving on to Corey. Whose box are you going to pick?
[groaning] Ay-ay-ay.
Sam.
[Peter] Sam.
And why?
Rubbed me the wrong way a few times.
Okay. Moving on.
Se Young.
I'm going to choose Lauren's box.
[Lauren] I didn't see that coming.
Somebody that I thought I could trust just threw me under the bus.
What do I do? What do I say?
-It's not an accusation, I promise. -[Peter] I see.
You wanna put in one person you suspect of the millionaire
and five people you don't suspect is the millionaire.
That way, if you get a positive hit,
it's more of a confirmation that the one person you suspected was a millionaire
if you throw in people that you trust.
So I think that Harry's the millionaire, and I trust Lauren implicitly.
[Peter] Let's move on.
I guess I'm going to take a page out of her book, and I'll say Se Young.
-[Peter] Se Young? -[Cara] Yeah.
-[Peter] You trust Se Young? -I do.
I'm choosing Corey because same reasoning.
[Peter] Well, thank you.
Se Young, she had the same thinking I had.
I'm picking somebody that I trust. So I am choosing Phil.
[Peter] Okay.
A lot of you have picked somebody you trust,
and we will find out now if that belief is validated.
Which brings me to the next bit of business.
A touch of a twist.
[Lauren] Oh!
-Only one of you will receive the answer. -No.
-Yeah. -Oh, jeez.
And it's up to that person on what they choose to share with the group.
You must all decide who that person is.
And I caution you.
Giving this opportunity to the secret millionaire would not be wise.
[Lauren] What that person learns is if one of those people…
[Lydia] Yes or no.
-[Sydnee] Yeah. -Yes or no.
I want to be the person learning that information.
I nominate Lydia.
-[Cara] I'm okay with Lydia. I trust you. -[Lydia] Yeah.
[Cara] Okay.
[Lauren] But I don't want to force it or else that looks suspicious.
So have you made a choice?
We've decided that Lydia will receive the information.
Okay. Could everybody else please leave?
[dramatic music playing]
-Thank you for your time. -[gasps]
I will see you at the elimination dinner.
[Lydia] I am really glad I'm the one
because I'm the only one I can believe.
It's in my best interest to get this information
and prove that Harry is the current millionaire.
Lydia, congratulations.
Harry, Sam,
Se Young,
Lauren,
Corey, and Phillip.
The million dollars is inside one of those boxes.
You may now choose to share the information with the rest of the group
or not.
I leave that with you.
Thank you.
You're a professional poker player, Lydia.
-[chuckles] -You're quite ruthless, aren't you?
Oh yes.
Good.
[chuckles] I've been playing poker now, uh, in tournaments for about 30 years,
and I don't feel bad lying to them about my profession.
They don't know really anything about me at all,
and I don't want them to know until I'm stepping on their neck.
[music builds, stops]
-[Sydnee] Lydia! -[Phil gasps] Ooh!
-[Jaimi] She got on a red cape. -[Sydnee] Here she is.
[Jaimi] Oh, it's a blanket. [chuckles]
We were just talking about you.
We updated them. We told them the information that you're bringing.
[Lydia] Okay. Okay.
Are you okay with me telling you if we were right or wrong?
Yeah.
-We were right. -[suspenseful music playing]
-[Sydnee] So we narrowed it down to six. -So we've narrowed it down to six.
I guess we can just get to the meat of it.
Are we gonna disclose who… who the six names are?
All right, I'm gonna… I'm gonna make an executive decision really quick.
We're gonna go chat and then come back.
-[Se Young] That's fair. -Right?
-[Jaimi] We'll be here throwing up. Bye! -[all laughing]
-[Jaimi] Enjoy! -[Cara] I mean, that's fair.
-So what are we… what are we deciding? -Okay, here's the thing.
If we tell them, this allows somebody to start doing damage control.
-[Se Young] Right. -Maybe it's strategic to let them know
because now we can start watching people's attitudes.
Whoever it is, they're gonna freak out.
[Sydnee] Do you wanna tell them the names, or who wants to list off?
-Do you feel comfortable saying it? -No, I don't want to.
-Do you wanna do it? -[Lydia] Yeah, you can deliver bad news.
She's the mom. Who's gonna be mad at her?
-Everybody in the house trusts you, so… -[Cara] Yeah.
You're gonna deliver it in a sweet, kind way.
-[Sydnee] All right, Mama Bear. Let's go. -All right.
[Lauren] Hi.
I have been nominated to share the information.
[Kyle] Okay.
Se Young, Corey, me, Harry,
Phil, Sam.
[inhales deeply]
And according to the information Lydia got,
someone in that six people is the millionaire.
With all due respect, right, like, we've taken Lydia word for it,
and Lydia could very well be the million-dollar person.
I can't say with… with 100% certainty that I… I trust Lydia.
She's so friendly. She's so nice. She's the grandma.
And you wanna trust Grandma. Who doesn't wanna believe Grandma?
This guy might not believe Grandma.
I wouldn't lie because it'd come back to bite me.
And then I'm gonna be gone in a couple of days.
That was the leap of trust. Right? So…
If I'm to take things at face value and believe everybody at the moment,
my name is also on the chopping block.
So I would be completely remiss and a liar
if I didn't say I wasn't a little nervous going into the room tonight.
Clearly someone's going home, and I certainly hope it's not me.
♪ Who are you? ♪
♪ Where are you from? ♪
-♪ You've come uninvited… ♪ -[Sydnee] We have elimination tonight.
It's a lot of pressure because somebody's going home today.
♪ Do you come in peace Or do you want more… ♪
[Sam] I'm definitely feeling better.
I don't have the luxury of time.
I have to talk to as many people one-on-one as I can
and see what's going on.
[Lauren] If my name is being seriously considered at an elimination,
I need to give a reason why I think it's Harry
and put a target on his back.
-How are you feeling? -Oh, you look so pretty.
[gasps]
I have been so bummed because I'm like, "What did I miss?"
[Sydnee] You've missed a lot.
I truly believe Sam has the money.
It's just kind of suspicious to be gone and not around the group.
[Cara] For tonight, people are looking at the six names
that Lydia said from the trophy room.
Harry, Se Young, Phil, Lauren, you, and Corey.
Easiest way to hide that you're the millionaire is to be absent
because you don't have to face anyone.
Among those six, what are people leaning towards?
[Cara] I think that some people are feeling it's Harry,
but I think it could be Sam.
[Lydia] I've already planted the idea that it's Harry in some other people's ears,
so when we go into the elimination room, I'm going to let them run with it.
And hopefully, if I've played my cards right,
I won't need to say a word.
♪ Get out of my headroom ♪
♪ You're taking it all… ♪
To me, Harry's like low-hanging fruit.
Like, I think the millionaire might be Lauren.
She is more clever than she lets on.
Tonight, somebody has to go. I just don't want it to be me.
-Sam, Sam, Sam. I'm so glad you came. -I couldn't sleep last night.
I had to talk to you.
Really quick.
I was thinking so much, and I wish I was here today.
I think that Lauren is the millionaire. 1,000%.
-I… She's very smart. -Correct.
You don't have to run fast.
You just run faster than the person next to you
if a lion is chasing after you.
♪ Get out of my headroom ♪
♪ You're taking it all ♪
♪ Get out of my bedroom ♪
♪ Nobody to call ♪
♪ You are my infliction ♪
♪ And you're trespassing ♪
Well, this food is lovely,
but it's not the only thing on the menu tonight.
Because we have to decide who you all think the millionaire is.
So I want you to all to think about any odd behavior that you've witnessed.
Lydia?
Nothing that I can pinpoint at the moment.
[Peter] Lauren, what do you think?
I'm looking at just any opportunity of, like,
"Huh, could that have meant something," right?
And it's a big swing,
but maybe it was that you had to get people to hold hands. I don't know.
So who was… Who did you notice who was holding hands?
I don't want to say it. But it was Harry, who I love and adore.
It was Harry? Harry?
[dramatic music playing]
-[Harry] The what? The hand-hold thing? -[Peter] Are you…
Please forgive me, because I'm not sure what the hand-hold thing is.
I'm going off of this assumption that maybe it was physical contact
of, like, hands or hand-holding.
So it was, like, uh, before the meal, and then also, like, putting hands in.
And I was clocking it in my head of could be something, could be nothing.
In Hawaii, the tradition for prayer is for everybody to hold each other's hands.
As far as the group thing,
that was just a… that was just a group thing.
That was all those were.
Uh, I know my name got called in the trophy room.
[Peter] Mm-hmm.
Um, I'd like to know who called it and I guess the reason for it.
-Corey? Okay. -[Corey] I did.
What was your reasoning?
After speaking with a few people and really letting the day play out,
it's just the way that I felt.
[Harry] On the competition last night, can you tell us what happened?
I did four, and I did four.
First one I messed up, so I went back,
and then I did it again, and it wasn't working.
This is the symbols, let's say.
I think that in my box, it was flipped.
I have to say, for me, Sam, I don't buy the upside-down story.
[Sam] With the code?
Wouldn't it make more sense that I would have gone,
beat it just as quick as everybody else because that's the way it's going?
I think it was misdirection to throw the game, to take the heat off.
[dramatic sting]
Definitely not. [scoffs]
So, Harry, who do you think the millionaire is?
Actually, there's one person who has been completely ignored.
Lauren.
-Yeah. -[Peter] Lauren?
Under the radar.
Who is a mother of three and knows how to handle people and children.
Wow.
True. All true.
You know, when there's silence in a void,
sometimes that's where things hide.
Se Young, if you had to vote right now, who would you pick?
Harry.
All right.
But I feel that if I were to come into the game as a millionaire,
how Lauren has been behaving is absolutely my goal for how I want to be.
And to a certain extent, it's a matter of reading the vibes.
[quietly] Are you freaking kidding me?
[music intensifies]
I can feel hawk eyes, like… [groans]
I don't know who's on which page.
[Peter] It's time to vote.
-[suspenseful music crescendos] -[sighs]
