50 YouTubers Go Head-to-Head for a Huge $1,000,000 Prize

50 people face off, only 1 survives

By Bui Hoang TuanPublished about a year ago 28 min read

I have assembled 50 of the top YouTubers worldwide, and the last one remaining in this cube will win $1 million for their subscribers. In a first for YouTube, creators with a combined total of 1 billion subscribers are competing for this prize. The rules are straightforward. Point the camera down and stay behind the line. If you step over the red line, you'll lose your subscribers a million dollars, so tread carefully. The last person to leave will take it all. After watching the "Squid Games" reality show, I sense I'm a target here. Friendships won't last in this environment. This is our money at stake, real USD. I'm excited to be part of this video at last. The best approach is to conserve energy and keep the million dollars in mind. Between us, would you eliminate someone to stay in the game? For my subscribers, absolutely. JJ, remember that making enemies increases your chances of being eliminated. We're just joking around though. He's literally hiding behind the money. I doubt he got the memo about having fun. While other YouTubers are laughing now, that won't last. This video is set to be one of the most intense and ruthless pieces of content ever created. The first challenge begins now. Prepare yourselves! For the first challenge, participants can step outside the cube to attempt a free throw. If successful, one of their subscribers will win a free Cybertruck and they can return to the challenge. However, if they miss, their subscriber gets nothing and they are out. How did they manage to gather so many Cybertrucks in one place? Attempting that shot feels risky. A free throw should be easy, but not for everyone. With everyone anxious about the first challenge, Mark Rober stepped up. "Jimmy, peace!" he exclaimed before proceeding. The tension in the room was palpable as he prepared to take the shot. His subscriber, Matthew, was counting on him. "Don't let him down," others encouraged. Mark's success would mean a Cybertruck for Matthew or both of them going home empty-handed. Unfortunately, he missed, leaving Matthew disappointed. Jidion then took his shot, but it didn't go well either. "I think I definitely lost a subscriber," he confessed. The pressure was mounting as more basketball YouTubers began to join the fray. Despite the losses, FazeRug's fan managed to score a Cybertruck, creating a moment of joy amid the tension. However, after witnessing several failures, others hesitated to take a chance on the next shot. Meanwhile, some YouTubers were finding ways to entertain themselves, leading to moments of stupidity. Four participants had exited the cube, and one more was needed to proceed to the next challenge. "Help! Stop!" someone shouted in jest. Amid the chaos, a player made a clever escape, leaving only 45 contestants behind. I had to prepare for the next challenge, which involved cleaning up the scattered cash. Once cleared, I gathered everyone for the second challenge. Participants were instructed to form groups of five and select a team captain who would receive immunity for the next round. This task prompted much deliberation and strategizing. The team choices were underway, with some groups forming quickly while others were still deciding. As the captains were assigned, my assistants brought in tables for them, hinting at further challenges to come.

Oh no, I know what this is. Yes, move to the other side. Captains, I need you to lift the cloth and unveil the next challenge. You have four cookies. Oh my god. I'm panicking. Each captain must choose a YouTuber from their team to cut each cookie. Oh my... If they break it, they're out. No way. And just to make it clear, depending on which cookie you pick, this could be very easy or nearly impossible. Niko, it's time to distribute the cookies. This is honestly the worst day of my life. What are you giving to Sketch? No way. This is insane. There's no chance you would do that. This is wild. I can manage the star. There's no way you would do that. Oh my goodness. He nailed it. Wow. Niko, you have the responsibility for this. Oh my god. Niko. Oh my god. But the captains still needed to hand out eight more umbrellas. The umbrella goes to Michael. How did you end up with an umbrella? I said I could handle it. I trust him. Okay. Hand over that umbrella, please. Thank you. Umbrella. I took it for the team. You're giving him the umbrella? Fede. I believe in you. Good luck. Oh no, how did you end up with the umbrella? Bad luck. You can do it, you can do it. Lexi got the umbrella. I got the umbrella. I'm feeling confident. It's a harsh world. I’m really sorry. Bro. Pokimane, I believe in you. You are capable. This is your moment. Show everyone that you're proud... Start the timer. The 10-minute countdown has started. If you don’t carve out the shape, you will be eliminated. I thought being the team captain meant I could help my team win. Instead, I skipped the challenge and ended up punishing my team. I got the triangle. It tastes really good, though. Easy peasy, 10 minutes is plenty of time. I thought so too, but it actually took a significant amount of time before this happened. Yes, yes, yes! Come on, Sketch! Come on, Sketch! But not everyone had it easy, like Logan Paul with the star and Pokimane with the toughest one. It cracked down the middle. I'm really sorry. Pokimane, I apologize. Since the umbrella had just wiped out Pokimane, the others became more cautious with their umbrellas. Sketch, be careful, okay? Take your time. But those with simpler shapes were making more progress. Riku got the star, let's go. Yeah. Yes. Let's go. Oh my god, my team is awesome. Come on, let's go, guys. Logan, that might be the most horrible cookie here. Bro, you're making me do this. I'm trying to win a million dollars for the Logang. Good job, boys. You got this. I'm shaking, man. Yes, yes, Sketch. Yes, yes, yes. No! My first fallen soldier. No, guys. Done. Oh, I got it. Got it. Ah! Oh, that's gross. I can't stand you, Jimmy. Alright, hey, wait. Just a second. I'm fine. This is where it will go wrong. This is where people will crack. Oh no! Oh. You did this. I just heard a piece break. What happened? He betrayed me. Sketch, do you trust him with your life? I trust him completely. I'm really sorry. You gave the guy with the worst eyesight and the worst hands the hardest task. I'm sorry, brother. Consequently, the second challenge eliminated Colby, Rugs, Michael Reeves, Fede, Ossy, Lexi, and Matpat. Not again. Once more. The true million was the friends we made along the way, and that's no theory. Retirement begins. He just retired. We also lost Jschlatt, Pokimane, Mastu, and of course, Sketch. Thanks for participating. It was a pleasure, thank you. Are you going to fist bump him? Oh. Oh. Later, bro. Love you all. Eleven people were eliminated, leaving 34 remaining, congratulations. You are a wicked man, MrBeast. Some beloved individuals were taken. I’m glad they’re gone, every single one of them, because it improves my odds. The herd has been thinned, and I’m going to win. While preparing for the next challenge, I allowed the 34 remaining YouTubers to entertain themselves. We can play a game. How close can you get to that line? We can do that with bottle caps. That’s right, the device that entertains your favorite creators is bottle caps. Oh, whoa. Whoa. Hey, watch this. Not going to think about it. Wow! No way! Oh my god! No way! It’s him, he’s amazing. Alright, that’s enough of that. For challenge three, I need everyone in pairs and duct tape your hands together. Choose your partner wisely. I was the best man at his wedding, so we’re in this together. Alright, let’s do it, Andrea. Are we locking it in? Yes, we’re locking it in. For some reason, everyone paired up with their closest friends. They believe they’ll be teammates, but honestly, that’s not the best strategy in a MrBeast video. Do we need to hold hands, or am I just doing this? You don’t need to hold hands. Oh, sorry, sorry. Yo, yo, yo, why am I with him? He’s wild! Now that everyone has a partner, update the floor. Bring it on in. Whoever you’re duct taped to, we will cut you loose and you’ll compete in giant Jenga. This is so stressful. I hate Jenga. No, we got this, we got this. You’ve been laughing nonstop, so it makes sense for you to go first. The tape is off. Let’s see who’s going home. Oh, imagine if it falls on the first one. He’s not done until he places the block on top. The plan for giant Jenga was to be a more extreme version of the game. But the tower got so tall, they couldn’t even reach the top with the ladder.

That’s unbelievable. I'm going to let everyone vote on whether it was fair for JJ to carry him out. If you think it’s fair, go to the right; if you don’t, go to the left. I wish there were more people on that side. Not fair at all. The crowd has made their choice. With KSI out and AJ back in, 33 of you remain. You think that was fair? Yes, that’s how the game works. I’m about to... Hold up, hold up. I'm just stating the facts, man, that’s the game. Team Prime, we’ve got this. Logan, crush it. Since that last game took ages and I can't hold these YouTubers hostage forever, we switched to regular Jenga. I made a mistake. It's time to pull your first block. Let’s do this. The games started quickly, and soon it became competitive. There’s no way. You’ve got to be kidding me? Then, something unexpected happened. What the...? Niko has a solid video idea if he wins this, so I want him to give it a shot. Because of how this challenge is set up, some creators accidentally partnered with their closest friends and were even ready to sacrifice for them. He was the best man at my wedding. He flew 27 hours to be here. I’m going to cry, man. This is how it’s done in the UK. You have to do it for your friends. You need to be selfless. You just have to say, let them play. At this point, the towers had grown so large... She can’t pull from the top two. Oh! Just breathing on them the wrong way could topple them, costing the loser $1 million in subscribers. That wasn’t even close. It’s impossible. That was fun. I’m done for. Jenga got me. Yep, wait. With each elimination, we were getting closer to the end of this challenge. It hit me in the lip. I’m earning this million for the fans. Brother, you’ve got one move. No problem. Logan, he traveled all the way from India, and you eliminated him. It was a lot of fun. What do you think about us surpassing T-Series? I believe whoever crosses that line first deserves respect. Let’s go. I’ve been watching since 2014. Alright, you know what? I’m really happy. Now I wish you had won. The last standing tower was definitely the most competitive game we had. Pull that block. These two went at it for more than two hours, far longer than the other YouTubers. That’s insane. Oh. No, no, no. You’ve got this. No. No, no, no, no. Challenge three is officially over. Now, let’s bring in the beds. Everyone has beds now. We’ll see you in the morning for the fourth challenge. That wraps up the first 24 hours of this challenge. Honestly, it’s pretty wild. All these YouTubers are just casually sleeping next to $1 million in cash, and by the end of this video, it could literally be yours. Hey, good morning, Logang! What’s up? Oh my God, that takes me back. I’m getting chills, man. Ohayo. Ohio? It means good morning. Ohayo. Time to focus and do it for the subscribers. Good morning. Good morning. I have a surprise for all of you. Is it our families? It's better than that. Oh no. For those who don’t know, my friend Speed is one of the biggest creators worldwide. He was supposed to arrive over 24 hours ago, but his flight just landed, and he’s really late. I wanted to give you the choice to let him join and play with one of your fellow creators or send him back on the plane. It’s up to you. In this community, we value inclusion—No, we don’t. I’ll be upset if he joins. He knows nothing about life-size Jenga. He hasn’t experienced it. Oh, come on, look at that mullet. He’s already making noise. It’s time to decide. Go left if you want him in, right if you don’t. We all do it together. Send him back on that plane. I have no clue what’s happening. Alright, it’s settled. Speed, they don’t want you here. Alright. This isn’t the last time you’ll see him. So you all will get eliminated. I remember all your faces. Should’ve thought that through. Now we’re in trouble. And with that, let’s introduce the fourth challenge. Is it just Speed again? Oh no. Bring them in.

- Deal or no deal. - Almost instantly, everyone started to realize what the next challenge would be. - What do you think is inside the briefcase? - Eliminated and safe boxes. - Please bring out Howie Mandel. - Given that our last game was such a huge hit with fans, it was essential to not only revive the game but also bring back its iconic host one more time. - Howie, Howie, Howie. - Jimmy. - Man, it’s been a while. - Wow, it feels like I’m scrolling live. - I need the person with the most subscribers to come up here. Who has the highest? - Don’t even look at me. - Logan, I assume you have the most. Before I explain the rules, you must choose a competitor. - I’ll go with you, Sam. - Great. Now choose a briefcase. Any number. - I’ll pick lucky number 11. - Seven of these briefcases indicate elimination. The others are safe. Logan will check inside the briefcase, and then Sam must decide whether to steal it or let Logan keep it. - In the classic game of Steal Or No Steal. - There you go, Howie’s a natural. - He said the line. - This case is not safe. - Oh, bummer. - Do you believe what he’s saying? - I don’t. - I would steal. - Really? - Steal or no steal? - I’m going to choose steal. - You’re going to steal it. Did Sam make the right choice? - Oh my God. - I’m sorry, Sam. - The Sam and Colby channel is now officially eliminated. - Since Logan’s case has been stolen, he will keep playing until someone chooses not to steal his case. Who do you want to face now? - Kai. - Kai. What number do you choose, Logan? - Lucky number seven. Let’s go, Kai. - I want to ensure no one can see what’s inside this. - Kai, look at me. Also not safe. - Oh, not safe? - Do you think he’s being truthful? - I’m going to go with steal. Let me explain why. - Oh, didn’t even ask him anything. - I’ve been watching Logan since he started on YouTube. I understand how he behaves in certain situations. You can’t trick me, bro. - You’re that confident. - This briefcase, how do you open this? It is... Safe. - He read Logan perfectly. - Oh my God. - Wow. - My heart is racing so fast right now. Ludwig. - You want me, baby? - It’s you, it’s you. - For this round, Logan, since you said your heart was racing, could you put on this Samsung Galaxy ring? - I don’t mind. - I’d like to measure your heart rate. And Luddy, do you mind putting this ring on? - Yeah, no problem. - We’ll be able to see it in real time. That’s right; we’re using the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6 to monitor the players' heart rates as they try to bluff each other. Logan’s is at 106 right now. Ludwig’s is at 87. - Regardless of what I find here, I’m going to ask you to keep this case. - Ludwig’s getting a bit anxious. - I got a little stressed when he started doing something to keep stuff. - Surely the best move here is to let him have it. There’s too much to guess. - I didn’t even see it. Can I keep it? - What’s happening with your own heart? - Karl, actually, what’s going on there? - It’s going crazy, I’m being honest. - It’s at 103 right now, Howie. - Okay, this one word could change a follower's life: a million dollars. - He’s good. - He’s doing it. - Steal or no steal? - No steal. - Logan Paul is... Safe. - I’m ready, I’m ready. There’s only one case for me. - I know, case 14. - We don’t even have to check it. I want it. I’m stealing it. I traveled 27 hours to be here. - Let’s see if it was all for nothing. - Oh my God, oh my God. - There’s your lucky case. - 27 hours. - It’s nice to see the eliminated cases go. - This is so heartbreaking. - Just don’t hit a kangaroo on your way home. - I don’t like you, Nolan. - The harshness of these cases didn’t stop there. No steal. The most brutal was yet to come. Oh my gosh. - I feel stabbed, I do. - Yeah, that was wild. - I don’t want to lie. - You don’t want to look her in the eyes when she opens it? - Oh God, it says eliminated. - I can’t do this; it’s too hard. - Do you think she’s being honest? - I think she’s acting. - Steal or no steal? - Steal. - She’s smiling. - What did she just do? Holy crap, her heart rate shot up to 152. - She’s a demon. - Even though she was deceived, Valkyrae wasn’t afraid to start playing the game herself, with only two eliminated and three safe left. Now, she has another chance to be deceptive. - What I just witnessed, I’m shocked. - That’s crazy. - Can’t trust anyone anymore. - You look worried. - Last time she was crying. Now, she’s the happiest I’ve ever seen her. - This is crazy. - It is safe. - So I ask you, steal or no steal? - I’m going to steal. I’ll let the audience react.

- Three, two, one. - Oh my god. - She's good. - These are the four remaining contestants. Only two safes and two elimination remains. - I'll do it. - While she's grabbing her briefcase, Marques, what do you think of the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6? - Oh, it's convenient you picked me for this one. It looks pretty good. - Anyways, let's get back to this. - If you want to monitor your own heart rate and track your steps, check out the Samsung Galaxy ring and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 6. - Do you want what's in that case? - No. - She wants it, she wants it. - I feel like the last two, it seemed like you pushed a safe pretty quickly and I don't think you'd do that three times in a row. No steal. - You read me like a book. - There is only one eliminated left. - You were my team captain. I trust you. - I got the last eliminated. - If they had trust, he would show her the case right now. - I don't think he's telling the truth. - Steal or no steal? - Okay, no steal. - If this says eliminate, they both move on. Can you trust MKBHD? - He doesn't know how to lie. And these were the two that weren't chosen. Go ahead and open them. They both will be safe. And after that blood bath, these 10 are what remain and only one of them can win their subscribers the million dollar prize. - I don't feel good. - I can't do this, bro. I can't barely move, bro. - This is where the game kind of gets hard 'cause now we got to eliminate our new acquaintances and that kind of sucks. - It's now time for the fifth challenge. Switch the floor. There are five pairs of two dots. I once again, need you all to pair up in groups of two and this time, you'll be working together. - Do you want to do the risk? I'm down, I'm down. - We got this? - We got this. - Kai, you trust this man with a million bucks? - That's my brother. - I trust Kai. - Why you two? - The female bond. - You two have been getting along well? - Yeah, because all my friends are out and he speaks French. - All right, Karl, blindfold them all. - I'll see you on the other side. - I'll see you on the other... - It's dark here. - Now that everyone is blindfolded, bring in the set. - Hey bro, hey bro. - This room is being transformed right now. - I lean to my left, there is something hard. - No. - What do you think's going on? - I smell a bit of gas. I touch it here, it's cloth. - Yeah. - Jimmy, is this an apron? - Hey, stop touching things. - I asked you. - All right, everybody, remove your blindfold. - No. - Oh, my God. - As I'm sure you all pieced together, this is a team cooking challenge. - Let's go baby. Let's go baby. Let's go baby. - I am terrified. I can't cook. - Bro, how'd you end up with Nick? - He said it. - That's crazy. - I'm cooked. - You've cooked before? - No, I'm cooked - with this challenge. - Oh he's cooked. - The best things I cooked is eggs, toast and cereal. - We've been on a cooking team before, and we lost. - We have., we've been on a cooking team before - and we lost. - So you have some experience. - No, we did bad. - We did bad. - Just don't do that again. We will be bringing in three judges. They'll rate all your meals on a scale of one to 10. The three teams with the highest ratings move on, the two teams with the lowest ratings are eliminated. Bring out our first judge, Joey Chestnut. - No way, Joey. - What better man to judge your food than the literal best eater on the planet? He broke so many food world records that Guinness gave him world record of breaking the most world records. And now for our second judge, Miranda Cosgrove. - Oh my God. - "iCarly"? - I'm losing my mind. - Kai was excited about that one. - I was excited, bro. - Our third and final judge, bring him on out. He needs no introduction, IShowSpeed. - Oh my God. - We're screwed. - Watch this, that's all I got to say. - The time has officially started. You guys can cook anything you want. This time is going to go by way faster than you think. On top of that, your dish will be judged on taste, creativity and presentation. The race has begun. Let's see what they whip up. - In "iCarly", her older brother Spencer loved the spaghetti tacos. Spaghetti tacos with the... - What are you two making? - We are making a Cordon Bleu, which is a French dish. - What are you two making? - Chocolate cake, some mac and cheese. - Okay? - That hurts, that hurts, that hurts, that hurts. - I'm trying to do a Spanish tortilla and he's trying to do fried rice. Clashing two countries together to make - A war? - A war in their mouth. - Oh my gosh, this looks good already. There's just onions and some spices. This man was mentored by Gordon Ramsey. So basically there's only four slots besides these two. - It's going to be so embarrassing if the two women get eliminated for cooking. No, it's not because women do more than cook. - So for dessert, we're making chocolate covered strawberries. - I'm really hungry, can't wait to eat. - And I hear her stomach is like - Get ready to put everything down. - Okay, okay, please, please, please. Oh, okay, it looks good. - Joey loves cheese? Yo, yo, yo, bro, you got to hold the sandwich. - A million dollars is riding on this. Three, two, one, stop what you're doing. The time is officially up. They're going first. - What we're eating tonight is a French Cordon Bleu. - I actually like this. - Yeah, the asparagus are good. - Whenever you judges are ready. - I'll start. - This was really good. - Whoa, whoa a nine. Whoa, whoa, these are high numbers. Whoa, your total score was 26. - All right. - Are you guys ready? - That was a little intimidating but... - Bring it on up. - All right. We wanted to go with a American comfort food. - I don't want to hype y'all up until I've tasted it. - Of course. - But... I think this going to taste all right. - Really good mac and cheese. - Amazing. - Joey, when you're ready. - Joey. - It was delicious. I love them. - Speed, based on that reaction, I assume you're gonna give something lower? - Miranda, you go. - Nine. - Yes. Thank you. - Are you about to cry? Don't do this to me. - Hey, don't manipulate. - Don't, no. - Speed, vote based on the food. I need you to turn around. Speed, hey, hey, focus. - That's fair, that's fair. - That is also a 26. - You're tripping, bro, a 10? You can't just pass out 10 like that because you like to eat, bro. - There you go. - Welcome to Kai and AJ's - Ratatouille. - Bodega. - First thing's up, Miranda. - Oh yeah. - We have the famous, the one and only, Spencer's spaghetti tacos. - Wow. - That's pretty creative. - That's pretty awesome. - AJ. - Yeah? - Who do we have in the middle? - IShowSpeed. - IShowSpeed. Who is the best football player of all time? - Cristiano Ronaldo. - Ronaldo. Ronaldo pasta just for you. - Don't tell him too much. - Now listen. - Don't tell him too much. - Last but not least, Joey. Bring out the tower of records. - Records tower. - When you eat it, you can feel it. Oh my gosh. Oh my God. - I don't know guys. I don't think I'm going to finish this. - You're good, you're good. Are you hungry, you just came up a good stream. You busting that down, boy. - Bro, so good, bro. - Wait, wait, wait. Really? - All right. - Miranda. - It's a solid spaghetti taco. - I love the show, but at the end of the day, - it's about the food. - It's about the food. Okay, three, two, one, reveal it. There we go. All right, take it away. - We made a creamy chicken, tomato pasta. - This was a dessert inspired by my father. He's not here with us... like in this room, he's still very much alive. - Oh, dog. It's like exquisite, you know? There's like a lemon punching me. - There's the meat. - It's meat punching me. It's good, I don't wanna eat too much. - Yeah, here, I'll remove this fourth. - Got to say Feastables and strawberries taste amazing. - It's very good, right? - Yeah, you should go to Walmart and buy it right now, whoever's watching this. - I'll do it right after this. - I wanna eat more of it. - I really liked it, that's something that I'll order- - Speed not to cut you off, but that's officially above 16, which means these two have now been eliminated. Gentlemen, Miranda doesn't even need to vote. - You guys are gone. - No way. - Bye. - I'm sorry, but it's over. All right, what was your rating? - 10. - A 10. Almost a perfect score. - Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, One time for the one time, please? It's been so long. - Wait, you just left. - What are you doing? What are you doing? - I couldn't resist throwing a plate. That was a complete mistake. I forgot all about the line. I saw the plate, I was like I need to smash it. It took me back to 2017- - Yeah, when you used to smash plates in your vlogs. - Don't! - Would it make you feel better if I let you promote Prime on your way out? - Sure. Prime the fastest growing beverage in history available at Walmart, Target. Oh, I'm shocked, but also not. I hope Jimmy invites me back. - When he first ran out, I was like, oh, that's funny. - You know what's crazy? Is this cube doesn't feel like the cube with the kitchen set up. - Yeah. - So I can see how maybe he was like- - With this table here too? - It feels so different. - Yeah, this setup is insane. - And now for the final meal. - This is a traditional Spanish tortilla. - Not bad. - Yeah. - Judges, are you ready to reveal it? - Yeah. - yes. - Three, two, one, reveal. - Okay, okay, okay, it's okay. - That adds up to 22, which means you two are eliminated. - Okay. It's been a pleasure. - And with that, five contestants remain. Congratulations. One of you will win a million dollars for your subscribers. It's going to be crazy. - With a million dollars, I'm going to do a find me and win a bunch of money challenge. - I want to use a lot of it to donate as many meals as I possibly can. - We'll host Some really cool chess events for our subs. - I would really like to pay for a lot of people's like art degree. - I'd like to build schools in South Morocco. It could change a lot of lives. - The final five. - Yeah, baby. - When we started, here's what the cube looked like and now everyone literally fits in the money. Now, before we do the last challenge, if you all look over here, open the curtains. These are real play buttons made by YouTube. - Whoever wins, we will also give you every play button of everyone who competed in this tournament. - What? - Wow. - What? That's crazy. - It's like when you collect the heads of people you killed. - Yeah, exactly. All right, bring in the final challenge. At the beginning of each round, everyone will start off blindfolded as I shuffle these five briefcases. Four have nothing in it, one has a million dollar check inside of it. Take your blindfolds off, come grab a briefcase and take them back to your podium. All right, everyone look inside your briefcase. And now that everyone knows what they have, everyone will cast a vote to eliminate one player from the game. If that player's case is empty, they're eliminated. If you guys happen to vote for the player with the money, the game is over and that YouTuber walks away with the million dollars for their subscribers. This is a game of bluffing and how well you can read each other. Which one of you has the best poker face? Start the timer. One of you can win a million dollars in the next few minutes. - Right out the gate, I'm pretty confident it's one of these two. - The women? - Yeah. - Why? - Your facial expressions. - He's a little bit aggressive, no? - He's taking charge. Is he taking charge because he has $0 and he's scared to be voted off? - Could be. - This is tense. - I so far think she has the million, to be honest. - She's the most confident but trying to mask it. - She has the million. - Do you? - I have the million. - So you're saying you have the million dollars? - I have a million dollars. - Okay. - I feel confident that you don't. - What makes you say that? - 'Cause I know she has zero and wants to stay in longer. - You think her briefcase says $0 and she's lying, so you won't vote for her. - She wants to make sure that she stays in another round, but it does not say a million. - Less than five minutes till you all have to decide. - If I didn't know what everybody had, I think it's best to vote as alliances. We were teammates, we were teammates, your teammate ran out. So the easiest thing would be to vote Nick out and then we all have a better chance, if I was playing with no information. - Okay, but you do have info. - So who do you want to vote? - You guys should vote me. - Then we should vote you? - I would like to win. - I think voting Alex is beast. I'm comfortable doing it. I know she doesn't have the million. - That's ballsy. - Everyone here has been very cool and so I'm going to play it by the game and she's lied in this game. - I have the million. If I've lied in the game, wouldn't someone else have also lied? - Yeah, but I know you've lied. - That's risky for the first game, no? - Yeah, you have to take some risks to win a million dollars. - If the risk is wrong, she wins it. You guys should go ahead and start writing down, who are you voting for? All right, let's see who you voted for. Our first vote is for Jaiden Animations. - I didn't even do anything. - That was out of left field. - That was surprising. - Our second vote is for Ludwig. Our third vote is for Amixem. Our fourth vote is Jaiden. - Dude, I didn't- - And the final vote is Ludwig. - Whoa, so it's a tie. - Since we have a tie, we're adding a minute on the timer. You three will get to hear them plead their cases, and then have to revote. Explain why they should or should not vote for you two. - I didn't think we were voting for me. - Well, you would've voted for yourself if you had the million. I think you voted for yourself. - No. - That means Ludwig voted for himself. That means he has it, if this is true. - Who do you think I voted for? - I think you voted for him. - I voted for Ludwig. - Yeah, so did I. - I voted for Jaiden. - Jaiden, who did you vote for? - Him. - You voted for him? - Sorry, this is a no-brainer. - Wait, wait, then you said so did I. - All right, timer hit zero. It's now up to you three to break the tie. Our first vote, Ludwig. How does that make you feel? - Read the second one. - I want to know how that first one made you feel. - I would like for you to read the second. I think it's going to be good. - The second one is Jaiden. - Oh man, dude. - What? - Shaking again. - The person who is opening up their briefcase is Ludwig. If this says a million dollars, the video is over. If it says $0, we do another round. - It's been a pleasure, guys. It is not. - You went beast mode though. - I knew you bluffed. - Gg's. - With Ludwig now eliminated, he joined the rest of the fallen soldiers in our viewing room to watch the rest of the challenge. The second round starts once again with everyone blindfolded. We then reshuffled and the remaining players picked their briefcases. You guys know what to do. Start the 10-minute timer. - Jaiden, did you get a mill again? - But she said you had the million. - And she said she had zero. So everybody's lying, but there's three people who have zero who are going to need to work together to figure out who has a mill. - Yeah. - Did anybody see anything? Any body language? - You're the only one that gave different body language. - You were much more animated. - Yeah. - Do you have anything? - I have a suitcase. - You could also be trying to get the pressure off of you - to try to vote me out. - Absolutely. Absolutely. - I know it's not me. I don't think it's you. - So the million is here or here for you? - Yeah, most likely I think it's you. - You think he has it? - Our first real claim. You're saying he has the million dollar briefcase. - As of right now, I think he has the million dollar briefcase. - Who are you voting for? - It's valuable info. You vote for someone, they vote for themselves. It's two of the four votes. - I haven't decided. - I don't know, for me it's a 50/50 between you two. - Oh, I could vote for you, yeah. - Me? - Yeah, because that's just a matter of statistics, probability. - Like statistically I shouldn't have it again? - That's an interesting point. - All right, write who you want to open the briefcase. Up first, we have a vote for Jaiden. Our second vote is for Alex, one on one. Our third vote is also for Jaiden, and our fourth and final vote is Jaiden. If this has a million dollars, you instantly win. - I think it does. - Oh my gosh. Oh, whoa. You are so chill. I was like, surely she's out. You are the winner. How do you plan on giving it away to your subscribers? - It's hard for a lot of artists out there. I just... I'd really like to send a lot of them to art school. - And there you have it, Jaiden Animations just won a million dollars for her subscribers.
