[Taylor] QT, Chase and Trey,
you're each on the Wheel twice.
Shuby, you're up there once.
Kyle, your name is on the Wheel seven times.
It's time for the spin. Good luck, everybody.

["I Need a Revolution" by Bodacious Thang & Haley Shaw plays]
I'm so sorry, Kyle.
No, but that told me a lot. That's what's up.
[sighs] Kyle, I'm sorry. The Wheel has made its choice.
[QT] Oh, my gosh.
-[Taylor] You must leave camp immediately. -[Kyle] Alright.
[QT] Bye, Kyle.
[Nick] Take care, man.

[woman vocalizes]
♪ Gotta find a solution ♪
I knew Chase wouldn't vote for me. There's a level of respect.
But I feel betrayed by the whole Eagle side.
They obviously viewed me as a threat
and was going to really want to get me out of here.
I mean, I'll take that as a compliment.
[sighs]
I just hate to see snakes win, though.
So, I'm really hoping that they don't.
-♪ We need a revolution ♪ -[song ends]
Kyle was… He was like my guy in here because we came in here together.
I always said, like, I'm not that type of person
that would ever come out of the shadows and do that to a friend of mine.
[Taylor] All right, well, we're down to eight players.
And now, as we enter the final stretch of the competition,
it'll only get harder from here.
The Eagles and the Bears, you guys are no more.
From here on out, you will all be competing as individuals.
Cool.
[Taylor] This game will only come down to one winner.
Let's do it.
[dramatic music building]
[music fades]
Head back to camp, get some rest. Your first solo challenge is tomorrow.
-Thank you, Taylor. -Thank you.
Have a good one. See you tomorrow. See you, Shubes.
[intriguing music playing]
-I had a hunch Chase was gonna stray. -[Lorenzo] Oh my God.
-Dude, what the hell? -[ominous note plays]
-What are you doing? -[Chase] I'm sorry.
[ominous note plays]
I get that he was your friend, but, like,
we gave you many chances to say, "Are you cool with this?"
Look me in my face and tell me
none of you guys had to make tough decisions in this camp.
Everybody at one point has been in my situation.
But I'm not gonna sit here and pretend, like, that was easy for me either way.
Chase decided to flip votes at the last second
and vote for Trey instead of Kyle.
I found his actions to be super hypocritical.
The way that he handled it,
I don't think was, uh, very respectful to the team.
So it was disappointing, to say the least.
[Shubham groans]
-That's crazy, Shuby. -Oh, I feel sad Kyle's gone.
I feel so sad.
But I'm so happy that we made it.
I know.
After all this time.
-What? Oh my gosh, Shuby. -[sighs] Oh…
-QT… I know. -We're in the individual game.
The final eight.
We've done the hard part because certain names were off the Wheel
because teams protected them.
That's true. Now we have Chase as a target in front of us.
-Yeah. -Then Trey, then Nick.
This is crazy.
[mellow music plays]
[Trey] I was extremely honest today,
and I never, ever thought about writing your name down.
I owned up. You asked me, did I vote for you?
And I answered your question.
I didn't keep my end of the bargain and vote for Kyle.
But don't act like you guys always go through
with what you guys decided previously to vote on.
And don't act like I'm in the wrong
because I didn't want to vote for my friend to get eliminated.
You and me are different. You will vote for your friend, I will not.
I never voted for my friend.
You want to get everybody to go against me because this is your moment.
I'm not… No.
Sincerely, you can kiss my ass.
Just reminds me that I cannot trust anyone in here.
And it's only gonna get worse.
Yeah.
[Chase] Obviously, today was a huge loss.
I lost, you know, one of my best friends in here in Kyle.
Everybody's very upset with me and, you know,
I don't have anywhere to turn to.
So I think right now the best thing is to just sleep on my own.
What's up?
Hey, roomies.

Oh, sick.

The atmosphere is a little awkward. It's a little tense. It's strange.
Trey and Chase, how are you guys feeling?
I'm feeling good.
Yeah.
It's another post-Wheel
where my name was on the Wheel, and I'm here to see another day.
Chase? [chuckles]
I'm choosing peace instead of violence today.
[gentle music plays]
-[laughs] -Wait, what is happening?
-Crazy thing to say. -[all chuckling]
Why were you mad at me? You voted for me.
I'm not mad because you voted for me.
I'm mad you spin a narrative that we're similar in what we did.
Didn't we all vote for Kyle because we talked about it?
The difference is, you voted for your friend.
-I didn't. -I couldn't do that.
Okay, you convinced somebody to,
and then tried to hide behind other people and not take ownership for it.
I don't-- I don't think I've-- I've hidden.
Did you go to Polly and say, "Vote for him instead of me"?
Yeah.
I didn't convince anybody to vote for Kyle.
I didn't say, "Go vote for Kyle." It was a team vote.
And you agreed to the team vote, then…
Not the same as convincing somebody.

[Trey] Chase views what I did as, like, morally bad.
And, you know, like, I-- I agree.
But ultimately in a zero-sum game that is not a direct replica of life,
you have to do things that are a little morally dubious
in order to move forward.
And I am in this game because of what I did.
And I-- And I don't hide behind that.
-A lovely breakfast we're having. [laughs] -This is, like, so intense, for what?

That was so good.
[Shubham groans]
-How are you doing? -Good, dude, just kicking it.
-How about you? -Yeah. I've been better, been better.
Keep fighting to the end, you know?
I'll never stop fighting, Shubes. Never stop fighting.
I'll be honest, I want a wheel ceremony where I'm not front and center,
where insults are being thrown at me
like, "You're a snake, you're a liar, you're a cheat."
-Is this my skin tone? -Oh, we'll see.
-[laughs] -Oh, good.
Sometimes, we all need to lighten up.
As much as I've been the target of some animosity,
I hopefully can do something to lighten the mood.
We have an announcement. We all know how Trey's been lately.
So now, he's buried the serpent, he's buried the hatchet,
and he's truly had a makeover inside, but especially in this occasion, out.
-[QT] Okay. -So we want to present you the new Trey.
Trey-cey.
-Trey-cey. -[Lorenzo] Trey-cey will be coming out.

You tell them!
-[Polly] Oh my God. Oh my God. -[Lorenzo] Yeah!
[Polly] Excellent. Eleven out of ten.
-[Trey] Thank you, everybody. Thank you. -[Lorenzo] No worries.
I've buried the serpent in more ways than one.
[Georgia and Polly laugh]
[music ends]
-[feedback whines] -[female voice] Campmates…
[Lorenzo] Oh my God.
…please get ready for your first individual challenge,
which will begin at sunset.
[Nick] I'm getting nervous.
[Polly] Tonight is a different kettle of fish.
I'm not afraid of the dark. I'm not scared of the woods.
So I'm excited to see what the challenge is
and who is afraid of the dark.
[dramatic music plays]
[music stops]
Welcome, everybody. This is your first challenge as individuals.
You have no teammates to carry your weight,
and no one to blame for a loss but yourself.
[Trey] I'm really excited to be competing alone
and make sure that my name is not on the Wheel.
I think now more than ever, I'm someone to be reckoned with.
[Taylor] This is gonna be your first nighttime challenge.
It'll be dark and cold, and you will be wet.
-[squeals] -[Nick] Oh, God.
[chuckles]
Each one of you will be racing in a kayak across the lake
and grabbing supplies you need to start a fire back at the camp gates.
[dramatic music playing]
The first three players to build a fire strong enough to burn through their rope
and set off their smoke flare win.
The catch is, the quality of the supplies
depends on how far you're willing to paddle.
There are four bags on the closest platform
containing flint and steel, so you can spark a flame old-school.
Paddle a little further, and the four packs there contain matches.
But it's a longer round trip.
Or you can race all the way to the furthest platform,
where there are three bags containing fire-lighters,
pretty much guaranteeing your fire will burn.
But so will your muscles,
as it'll be a longer paddle there and back.
Remember, each dock has a limited number of bags,
so choose wisely.
The top three finishers will keep their names off of the Wheel.
They will also get to decide which three losers face punishment.
-[QT] Okay. -[Trey] Okay.
-Okay. -[Lorenzo] Okay.
The bottom five, your names will automatically be on the Wheel
and be at risk of going home.
Not a part of the team anymore, so I'm a high target right now.
My main focus is to win the challenge today.
You guys can go get ready. I'll meet you at the lake for Fired Up.
[dramatic note plays]
[dramatic rock music plays]
[Shubham] My strategy going into this
is go to the closest backpack, the hardest one to make a fire with.
But if I spark it with a flint,
I'd beat everyone who took longer to go for the second and third backpack.
[Georgia] I don't even know what flint is. I've never heard of flint in my life.
[chuckling] So if I get stuck with that bag, I'm done.
I'll be on the Wheel.
[Chase] I want this to be as possible, so I'll go to the furthest backpack
in hopes that, you know, I can make up time with my ability to kayak
and my ability to run back and start the fire.
[Lorenzo] I feel I won't do well.
Last time I kayaked, I passed out, and I cannot really start a fire.
I can barely start a computer.
[music fading]
All right, guys, are we ready?
-[Polly] Yes. -[Nick] Yeah.
Three, two, one.
[klaxon blares]
[frenetic music plays]
[Georgia] Oh my God.
-[QT] What the heck? -[Shubham grunts]
Oh my God.
[contestants grunting and panting]
[Nick] Oh, fuck.
I jump into my kayak feeling amazing,
reach for my paddle, and it's just not there.
[dramatic sting]
[Nick] No fucking way. No fucking way.
Fuck!
I assume it sank,
so I have no other option but to start swimming, like a little surfboard swim.
It's just unbelievable.
I'm not sure if that's Nick or a dying seal out there.
[dramatic, suspenseful music plays]
[grunts]
[Georgia grunts]
[Taylor] Georgia has taken an early lead
and is paddling straight past the flint and steel on the first platform.
[panting]
[Georgia] I am powering through in this kayak.
Oh my gosh.
I've got to get those matches before anyone else does.
[Taylor] Lorenzo, Polly, and Chase are steaming past the first dock.
But where are they headed?
There's only three bags on the last platform.
[grunts]
[Lorenzo] Oh my God.
I need to get there as quick as possible. I just need to get the matches.
[Nick] My entire strategy for this thing shifted.
I was planning to get the matches.
Now I got to swim and go for the closest platform
to get flint and steel.
This sucks.
[Taylor] What an effort from Nick.
He's actually the first person to grab a bag.
Closely followed by Trey.
But those packs have the hardest supplies to start that fire.
-[panting] -[suspenseful music playing]
Looks like Shubham's gone for the same thing as Trey.
The flint and steel.
Meanwhile, QT seems to be jogging on the spot.
[QT muttering]
[QT] I am finding it so stressful in this kayak right now.
Everyone is getting in front of me.
But I'm trying my best to figure out how to paddle.
[Taylor] Trey is the first one back on the beach.
Gotta go, Trey, gotta go.
You chose the hardest backpack, you got to move, brother.
Great form.
[Trey] The stakes are high.
I need to get there as fast as humanly possible
for me to properly start a fire.
[exciting electronic music playing]
[Nick groans]
[Nick] My triceps are killing me.
But I just keep going, and somehow I'm the second person back.
[groans]
[grunts]
[groaning]
[music building]
[music swells, stops]
[mellow rock music plays]
[Trey] I'm the first person back.
And it makes me think that I made the right decision.
I don't think I need a fire starter.
[Nick] I've never touched flint in my life.
This is the absolute worst-case scenario.
But I still want to give it a shot.
[Shubham] I get to the fire-making area and I'm like, "Wow, this is sick."
We got all these materials: branches, little kindling.
I feel like a badass.
Nick and Trey are right to the left of me.
We are all the flint people. I call us the Flintstones. [chuckles]
[dramatic, suspenseful music plays]
[panting]
Georgia is headed to the medium dock to get a pack with matches.
Her buddy, Lorenzo, close behind.
[QT] I get to the first pontoon and I want to keep going to the medium,
but everyone is in front of me,
and I think they're gonna grab it before I get there.
So I just navigate myself to get that flint and steel.
[music fades]
-[QT groans] -[amusing music plays]
[QT] I'm truly losing my mind on this kayak.
No!
I have no idea how to pull it in the direction that I want it to go.
[dramatic, suspenseful music plays]
[both panting]
[Taylor] QT finally gets her flint and steel,
as Lorenzo and Georgia make it back to shore with their matches.
[upbeat rock music playing]
[Lorenzo] I just need to get there as quickly as possible.
The people in front of me, yes, they have more time,
but they got the flint.
Unless they're Bear Grylls, I don't know how they're gonna operate that thing.
[music fading]
[Georgia] I'm great with my hands because I used to deliver babies for a living.
So I think I'll be good with, like, matches and little things.
So that might help me.
Oh my God.
[ominous music plays]
[Trey] More and more people coming in, and I know that time's running out.
Maybe I was a little too overconfident with my flint and steel skills.
Maybe I made a mistake.
[Georgia] I'm the first one to get my fire lit.
It lit, but I didn't put enough things on top of it to maintain the flame.
[Lorenzo] This is so intense.
I just need that little bit more of Lorenzo magic.
-[Polly panting] -[suspenseful music plays]
[Polly] I expected all of the guys to go for that furthest bag straightaway.
Apart from Chase, they were nowhere in sight.
So I pushed myself and go for that third bag.
[exhales, grunts]
[Chase] I want to win. I can't afford to have my name on that wheel.
And it gives me the power to put people in punishment.
And nothing in this world would mean more to me than to throw Trey on that wheel.
[Taylor] Chase and Polly pick up the fire-lighter backpacks,
the only two to make the hike to the last platform.
Sorry.
[Taylor] Meanwhile, QT's inching closer to shore.
[dramatic, suspenseful music playing]
[QT groans]
[music building]
[music swells, fades]
Chase is one of the last ones behind, but he has the best supplies.
[music resumes]
[Chase] I feel like today's challenge was made for me.
A simple kayak race and footrace to start a fire.
We've got to finish this thing out now.
[Polly pants]
[Polly] I know that I am the last one because I went for that far bag.
I'm minutes behind them.
I fully expect most of the people already to have started their flames.
Those fire starters better be worth it.
[music fades]
[Taylor] All you need to do is reach that flame high enough to burn the rope,
and it'll trigger the flare.
[suspenseful music plays]
[blowing]
[Chase] Those fire starters are a lifesaver.
Lit that up, got the tinder going, and then just kind of built around.
I just have no idea what to do. I'm also freaking out.
My hands are starting to shake
because I see everyone around me starting their fires.
It's just impossible to do this.
[Shubham] I look to my right, I see Lorenzo.
He's got a fire that's as big as, like, a volcano.
And I'm like, "Oh, we made the wrong choice going for flint."
[Taylor] Georgia and Chase follow Lorenzo, and they've got their flames burning.
[grunts]
[Nick] I'm getting sparks, but nothing is catching.
And I see some big old fires forming around me.
Man, I really wish I had not dropped that paddle.
[exhales]
[Lorenzo] I can do this.
I want to win this badly.
[dramatic music building]
[triumphant music plays]
Whoa! Come on!
And the first winner, Lorenzo!
-[Georgia] Go, Lorenzo! -[Lorenzo] Yeah!
I've never lit a fire before. This feels amazing.
I can't believe I'm the first one to do that.
I've proved myself to other people that I've got the skills to do anything.
Boom!
Only two more slots remaining to keep yourself off the Wheel.
-[Nick] Come on. -[suspenseful music plays]
[groans] This is so dumb.
[flint rasping]
[Shubham] I'm like huffing and puffing and shredding this flint,
but nothing is catching this kindling.
I should have brought my flamethrower.
[Trey] As I see the fires roaring beside me,
I start to realize that maybe this isn't gonna happen for me.
[Nick sighs] It's impossible.
Chase has got a great flame going right now.
Polly also building up her fire.
Georgia's flame is really roaring now.
[music building]
[music fades]
[Taylor] Chase with the second smoke flare.
[dramatic sting]
[Chase] In this game, you have to do everything to make sure
that you are on that wheel the most minimal amount of times.
That feels so amazing.
Looks like it's down to Georgia and Polly.
[suspenseful music plays]
[Georgia] I've got this fire lit. I'm working on it.
-Polly's got hers going too. -[blowing]
It's not burning!
Freaking out a little bit.
I'm just hoping I can get it big enough to burn this rope and win this challenge.
[Polly] Those fire starters really got my flame going.
And I'm just hoping that rope snaps first.
[Lorenzo speaks indistinctly]
-[Polly] Yes! -[Georgia] No!
-[groans] -[Polly] Yes!
-Polly with the third smoke flare. -[Nick] Oh my God.
And is safe from the Wheel for now.
-I love you. Good job. Good job. -Oh, my God.
[tense music playing]
[Polly] My God, you were so close!
-You were so close. -[Georgia] Good job. It was so hard.
[Polly] I'm so happy and proud of myself that I won a challenge.
I'm off the Wheel for now.
And I get to dish out
-some punishments tomorrow. -[dramatic music building]
[music swells, fades]
[dramatic rock music plays]
[Taylor] Lorenzo, Chase and Polly, congratulations.
All three of you are off the Wheel for now.
You will also get to pick three people to face punishment,
which is a big, big decision this late in the game.
And for the rest of you, unfortunately, you didn't finish in the top three.
So all of you will be on the Wheel at least once.
[music intensifies]
The stakes have never been higher.
It's late. You guys can go get some sleep.
A very serious punishment and a vote is just around the corner.

But I'm still all on the Trey train, so let's get him out of here.

Yeah.
Like, he's just dominating all this.
Chase does a really good job of getting back in people's good graces.

Good luck.

So I am a little worried going into it,

I will be holding on for dear life.

Way to be calm, Nick.

around the rope and just hold.

but I've been hearing people talk about grip strength.
And I'm like, wow, I'm barely hanging on now.
-[Georgia] Come on. -[Chase] Come on, buddy.
Focus, Shuby. Hold on tight.
[Georgia] Hold on, guys. Come on.
[QT] Don't give up.
[music building]
Shuby, you're so strong.
[Shubham groans]
-[QT] Good job, Shubes. -You did so good, Shubes.
You crushed it, Shuby.
-[ominous music plays] -[Shubham groans]
I am disappointed with myself.
I feel like I could have gone on, tried to fight harder.
-Shuby, I could not have done that. -[Polly] So good.
You did so good.
[tense music playing]
-[Polly] Oh! -[Nick grunts]
-[Georgia] Oh my gosh. -[Chase] Way to save it.
It's incredible.
[dramatic music playing]
[Nick] Literally, I just slipped. Like, my fingers just slipped.
And luckily, I was able to catch myself.
[Polly] That's it, Nick. Get that knot.
Come on. Get your feet better. Yep.
[Nick exhales]
-Get that knot. -[Nick] I can't get it.
-[Polly] Breathe. Steady. That's it. -[Lorenzo] Don't let go.
You have big muscles.
[Nick] Okay. Oh my God, my forearms.
[tense music playing]
[whispers] He's shaking.
[Trey] I have to win.
The only way that you can go home is if your name is on the Wheel,
and you want your name on the Wheel as few times as possible.
-[Polly] That's it. Find that knot. -[Chase] Find the knot.
-[Nick groans] -[Georgia] Come on, guys. Push through.
Hold on just a little bit longer.
[Nick] Oh, my hands.
[music building]
[Nick sighs]
[music peaks, fades]
[groans]
-[Shubham] Good stuff, Nick. Good job. -[QT] Good job, Trey.
Nice.
[tense music plays]
[Nick] I'm so annoyed. [sighs]
[QT] Good job, you guys.
[Nick] Nice job. [chuckles]
As far as Wheel odds go, it's a double elimination,
and I'm already on there twice.
So, I'm worried.
[female voice] Congratulations, Trey. You have passed the punishment.
[Shubham chuckles] That was tough.
[female voice] Shubham and Nick, you have failed,
and your names will go on the Wheel.
Every name on the Wheel matters, especially going into double elimination.
People have gone with not very many names on the Wheel.
So, it's really important not only to show your strengths,
but flex your strengths out here.
That's tough, man. That's tough.
You've got to win these, and I did.
And I'm happy about that.
[pensive music plays]
[music ends]
How do you guys feel about moving into a single game?
I think, like, there's clearly two people that are on everyone's radar right now.
[QT] Yeah.
It's perfect because it's two big targets that are just right ahead of us.
[Shubham] Yeah.
[QT] At this point of the game,
I am just going to add fuel to the fire
and make people feel like Chase is so mean and this big, bad guy,
and he did something bad to his whole Eagles team.
And I'm also going to make people feel like,
oh my gosh, Trey, he's always lying and manipulating.
So then we can get both of them out before anyone starts trying to look at me.
I feel like we really can start controlling things that are going on,
which I'm excited about.
And the good thing is, I don't think people understand this bond we hit.
-The three of us. -[QT] Yeah.
The first time I played The Circle, I was this close to winning.
I wanted to come here and finish what I started.
You know, my pedal's on the metal,
and it's full throttle from here to the win.
There's just something about, like, playing The Circle
and understanding a strategy game like this, a social game like this.
Which I thought all Circlers would understand.
-[QT] Yeah. -[chuckles]
[Nick] My game plan is continue with The Circle crew,
and then I really want to double down on my relationship
with Georgia and Lorenzo.
Their alliance is probably the strongest alliance at camp.
So, if I can latch onto that,
I think it's a pretty solid squad
that I can kind of ride along with into the finale either way.
[intriguing music plays]
How do you guys feel about, obviously, those three?
Nick is not my Eagle at the moment.
Nick has never been my Eagle, but I'm fine with making him think he is.
-Me too. Just let him think we are. -[Lorenzo] I just like…
And then when the time is right…
-[Lorenzo] Sure, yeah. -For me, that's after Trey goes.
[Polly] My ideal duo to leave tonight would be Trey and Nick.
I think they are both the strongest all-around competitors.
So if I'm gonna survive the Wheel spin tonight,
I don't want to face, honestly, either of them in tomorrow's challenge.
On my hit list,
Trey's first, second is Nick…
-[Polly] Yeah. -…and then third is Chase.
[gentle acoustic guitar music plays]
[Trey] Chase and I have had a little tension between us,
and I think Chase might be, uh-- might be voting for me.
So I'm seeing if we can find some common ground
to keep my name off the Wheel and keep myself in camp.
[music ends]
Yesterday morning, based on what you said,
I just felt a little uncomfortable.
-You know, Kyle is my friend. -Mm-hmm.
And it's never easy to see people go, you know.
Water under the bridge, though.
I-- I-- I appreciate that, yeah.
I think with the double,
it might be a lot of me and a lot of you.
You don't want your name up more than it has to be.
I don't want my name more than it has to be.
Precisely, so if we want to come to an agreement
and decide someone to vote together,
that would mutually benefit us to save ourselves,
then I'm down.
Okay.
[tense music plays]
I do not like Trey,
but, obviously, I need to do everything in my power
to keep my name off the Wheel.
Who is somebody that you want to get out?
Nick, because, like, I don't know what I can beat Nick in.
He's strong, and he's very unpredictable.
So if we pile up on Nick…
I need a full-on agreement that if we agree to it,
I don't want it going to him, you know what I mean?
So long as you don't do that for me.
I'm a very honest player.
The agreement I have with Trey is, I don't vote for him,
he doesn't vote for me, and we can stack the votes against Nick.
But here's the thing.
It kind of puts, you know, the ball in my court in the sense of,
I could do it anyways and have his name up there and mine not.
-Good stuff, man. -Good stuff.
[music intensifies]
[music ends]
-Hey. -[both chuckle]
How's it going?
-Good, how are you? -I'm doing good.
-I haven't checked in with you today. -I'm stressed.
Do you-- Do you know who you're voting for?
No.
[chuckles]
-Are you voting for me? -No.
-Okay. -[both chuckle]
I'm so stressed about being on there,
I haven't thought about who I'm voting for.
I know…
Uh, Nick is gonna be up there a few times.
[gentle, intriguing music plays]
And I think Chase will be up there a few times as well.
But I don't know.
I'm gonna have to just make the decision when I'm in there.
Yeah.
I'm sick of Trey. He's always coming up to everyone in camp,
having strategic conversations.
It's like we're always on edge thinking Trey's going against us,
or Trey's not being reliable, or Trey's doing something.
It's just getting tiring, and I feel like, at this point, he has to go.
-[QT sighs] -[Georgia clears throat]
Like, best-case scenario, like, Trey goes, and, like, maybe QT or somebody goes.
You know, best-case.
God, I keep forgetting it's a double. It's so annoying, terrifying.
Yeah, but I don't think you're on anybody's radar, so it's like…
[Trey] How-- How are we feeling?
Feeling good. I'm like-- After this morning,
I haven't been able to talk to people about who they're voting for.
But a lot of people are doing Nick and Chase.
Are people off me?
I don't know. No one's said for sure.
I just know there's a lot more talk about Nick now.
[softly] Okay.
I think you're in a really good spot, honestly.
I think the best-case scenario is
Chase and Nick going home.
For sure.
I am making Trey feel like I'm wanting Chase and Nick to go home tonight.
I'm not trusting Trey anymore, and I think it's time to let him go.
But I need to make him still feel like I'm aligned with him fully.
That way, he doesn't turn and vote on me.
-[Chase] What are you saying? Good? -Mm-hmm.
-[Chase] All good? -Yeah.
-[Chase] All good. -Come on, man.
[ominous sting]
[female voice] Campers, it's now time to vote.
[dramatic music plays]
[Chase] I'm gonna have to make a tough decision here.
Obviously, that comes down to what type of person I want to be
and what type of game I want to play, at the end of the day.
[Trey] Chase and I had formed a bit of an alliance.
I feel like I am in a good position. I think this is a strong idea.
[music intensifies]
[Polly] Trey and Nick are the strongest all-around competitors.
I do not trust either of them at all.
[Georgia] I think I've made up my mind.
[Nick] Now that Kyle's gone,
I want to continue to get rid of some of the big challenge competitors.
So that's Trey, and that's Chase.
I don't know what order.
[intriguing rock music plays]
Oh man, just got to get past today,
and then we're in final six.
That's wild.
[tense music plays]
[Trey] I'm going to this Wheel ceremony with a strategy with Chase
in order to get out a larger threat.
This might be the first Wheel ceremony I have no votes.
[Chase] Big night ahead.
Anytime there's a double spin, there's always the likelihood
that any random thing can happen.
[music fades]
[clunking]
[dramatic whoosh]
Welcome back to the Wheel.
So far, nine players have been eliminated.
And tonight, two more players will be going home.
[suspenseful electronic music plays]
And that means only six of you will be moving onto our final challenge
and the opportunity of $250,000 in hand.
-That's crazy. Final challenge. -[Shubham] Wow.
-Damn. -[Taylor] Okay.
As always, before we spin and send two of you home tonight,
we've got to light it up with your names.
Lorenzo, Polly and Chase,
you got your fires burning the fastest and won our first solo challenge.
You've saved your name from the Wheel for now.
For the rest of you,
unfortunately, you did not get your fires lit fast enough,
and all of your names are on the Wheel.
[dramatic music plays]
[Wheel hums]
Nick, Shuby, unfortunately, you both failed the punishment,
and your names are on the Wheel for a second time.
[Wheel hums]
We will also add three spots for Spin Again.
That leaves eight spots on the Wheel to fill with your eight votes.
[music stops]
Shubham.
[suspenseful music plays]
You're first.
You're already on the Wheel twice from losing the challenge and punishment.
Yeah.
Let's see if anybody voted for you.
[music building]
[Wheel hums]
Shubham, you got no votes, but you're on the Wheel twice.
Good luck to you.
[Shubham] Thank you.
-Good luck, Shuby. -Thanks.
Good job, Shubes.
QT, Georgia, come on up.
[suspenseful music plays]
You're both on the Wheel one time.
Let's see if it stays at one, or if you got any votes.
[music building]
[Wheel hums]
No votes.
-Good luck. You can rejoin the group. -[Georgia] Thank you.
-Good job. -Thank you.
Chase, you're up next.
You managed to come second in the challenge
and keep your name off the Wheel.
Let's see if you're on the Wheel.
[suspenseful music building]
I'm voting for Chase because he's a leader, a physical threat.
He's also very well-connected in the camp.
[Wheel hums]
[music fades]
What?
[Georgia] Whoa.
Probably the least I've ever been on the Wheel.
[Chase chuckles]
[Taylor] Chase, you received one vote. Congratulations.
You can rejoin the other individuals.
Can Polly and Nick please step forward.
[dramatic sting]
Nick, your name is on the Wheel once from the challenge
and once from the punishment.
Are you worried your odds are gonna get worse with these votes?
For whatever reason,
I think people still just think I'm a big challenge threat here.
Let's see how many votes you've both received.
[suspenseful music building]
[Trey] This vote is a sign of trust.
A bridge to build, so to speak, with Chase.
We have an agreement. We sort of have an alliance going on
in order to protect ourselves.
Vote Nick.
[dramatic sting]
Nick.
He is incredibly strong physically,
and he would also outsmart me by, like, times a million.
[Wheel hums]
[music fades]
Polly, you received no votes, and your name is not on the Wheel.
Which means you're gonna go to the final.
Nick, you received two votes, and you're on the Wheel four times.
How does that make you feel?
[Nick] Obviously not the best sight…
[chuckling] …uh, but, like, it is what it is.
That leaves us with just our Squid Game boys.
Trey, Lorenzo, step up.
[suspenseful music plays]
Trey, something dawned on you once we saw Nick's votes.
I think something dawned on me once I saw Chase's vote.
[Taylor] Why do you say that?
Because I was expecting two more.
-Based on conversations you've had? -Mm-hmm.
[Taylor] You've been in the middle of a lot of drama.
-Are you expecting more votes tonight? -[Trey] Oh, yeah.
I'm expecting exactly five more votes.
I don't think there's a chance Lorenzo has a vote up here.
Well, let's see if anybody voted for you.
[music building]
[dramatic music plays]
Trey.
I feel like, ultimately, he will do whatever it takes
for him to win the game, and that does not leave room for me.
I'm voting for Trey.
I feel as though I cannot trust him.
I will be voting for Trey.
Wow.
[music intensifies]
Trey.
I might have told him I was going to vote for Nick
and I didn't and I voted for him instead.
But I lied to a liar.
Kind of just turned his own game against him.
[music ends]
[Wheel hums]
Trey, as you expected, all those votes came to you.
-[dramatic sting] -Yeah.
I feel-- I feel 100% blindsided.
Lorenzo, no votes again.
You are officially in the final.
Congratulations.
-[Chase] Nice job. -[Georgia] Good job.
-[Lorenzo] Thank you, guys. -Oh, man.
Every segment on this wheel has now been filled.
[adventurous music playing]
And it's time for the first spin. Good luck, everybody.
Oh, man.
[Trey] I have survived seven wheels with my name on it.
I hope tonight's no different.
[Lorenzo] It's Trey.
[suspenseful music building]
[music ends]
[Georgia] Oh, Nick.
-It's Nick. -[sighs]
-[Shubham] Nicky. -Damn.
[QT] Sorry, Nicky.
[Nick] Good luck, y'all.
-[Chase] Love you, man. -[Georgia] I'm sorry.
Nick, I'm sorry. The Wheel has spoken. You must leave camp immediately.
-Bye, Nick. -Good luck, y'all.
-[Trey] Take care, Nick. -[QT] Great job. So good.
[melancholy music plays]
[Nick] It's definitely a bummer to leave.
You can always think of woulda, coulda, shouldas.
If only I had held on to the rope longer.
If only I didn't drop the paddle. But I did my best.
I only got my name there once from losing a challenge,
only once from losing the punishment,
so two of them came from votes, so that's half the reason I was on there.
I should have done a better job talking to everyone.
Um, I thought I was in a pretty good spot, but…
not good enough.
♪ You set us on fire ♪
♪ This ain't the heat we started with You caused a riot ♪
You all survived the first spin. Congratulations.
Nick wasn't so lucky.
If you survive this next spin, you will make it to the final.
[dramatic rock music playing]
I still feel confident that I can win this game.
But, ultimately, you just got to get a little lucky.
It's time for the second spin.
Good luck, everybody.
-[QT] Thank you. -You've got this.
[Georgia sighs]
[dramatic electronic music plays]
[QT] No, no, no.
-No, no, no. -No…
-[Georgia] Oh, my gosh. -[QT] No.
No, Shuby, no!
Oh no.
Oh, God.
[music fades]
[Wheel hums]
