Short filmTranscript
00:00Hello, Fortune Hotel superfans.
00:02Now slip into that complimentary robe and slippers
00:04because it's time for Late Checkout with me, Ellie Taylor.
00:07Think of us as the sweet dessert to the main show's all-you-can-eat buffet.
00:11We're going to be unzipping the emotional suitcases from episode six,
00:15having chats to checked-out guests Gov, Gurks, Alan and Jacob.
00:19And an exclusive tease of what's in store for the guests
00:22on the next episode of the Fortune Hotel.
00:25Welcome to Late Checkout.
00:30Well, wasn't that spicier than a hot sauce ice lolly?
00:35An episode full of revelations.
00:37I mean, we found out that Jeremy can be humble.
00:40My confident levels are up here.
00:42Now they're up here.
00:43And Stephen gets a little bit gassy at breakfast time.
00:47Oh!
00:49Stephen!
00:51Naughty, naughty man.
00:54Elsewhere, Martina and Bryony had a few too many at the nightcap.
01:00And Fred got philosophical.
01:05That what tries to kill you makes you stronger.
01:07Stop going into being bloody Gandhi.
01:11Easy mistake, Min.
01:12I'm always getting my Gandhi and Kelly Clarkson mixed up myself.
01:16Yeah.
01:16Now, although Maz and Max's fate may seem sealed,
01:20the hotel doors stayed shut tonight with no checkouts.
01:24But the drama, oh, it was definitely checked in.
01:27Let's rewind to that edge-of-your-seat moment from tonight's nightcap.
01:31I want to say we've got the early checkout card.
01:36It's going to give it to us.
01:39We feel like it would be unfair to give Bryony and Martina the early checkout card.
01:45Which tragically means, in fairness, we can only swap it with Maz and Max.
01:50This is The Ultimate Betrayal.
01:56I got a topic.
01:58Welcome back, Gov, Gox and Alan and Jacob.
02:05Looking very dramatic there.
02:06Not looking very good for Maz and Max, is it?
02:08Not looking very good, is it, Gov?
02:10It's good.
02:10They had it coming!
02:14They got Toppy, man.
02:17Do you be fair, Maz and Max shafted all of us, didn't they?
02:20Yeah.
02:22Do you think this could be the moment that they go, then?
02:24It should be.
02:25Because, to be fair, think about it, I feel sorry for Toppy and Nella
02:28because they built that alliance with them
02:29Oh, God.
02:30to get thrown under the bus, and really, it's karma.
02:33Oh, right.
02:34OK.
02:34It's due, you're saying.
02:36Do you think Nella and Toppy might change their mind?
02:38They could, you know.
02:39I was quite surprised they were like,
02:40we're not going to give it to Martina and Bryony.
02:42I was like, ooh, girl, OK.
02:45Girl, OK.
02:46But they know Maz and Max is a competition, I think.
02:50Yeah, but if they've got any alliance,
02:50they might try to save them and be true to their word
02:53and get Martina and Bryony out.
02:55Are they good people or are they playing a game?
02:57No, I can't lie.
02:57I think it's principle.
02:58I don't think there's any competition.
03:00They're just lucky to get there, to be fair.
03:01In that situation there, it's about principle.
03:03Toppy and Nella's like, look, we had loyalty there
03:05and you broke it apart.
03:06So, you know what?
03:07Goodbye, man.
03:08Goodbye!
03:09But as a Max, you know, they had a strategy,
03:12but do you think that's sort of backfiring?
03:14Massively.
03:15Yeah.
03:15And I think underneath, they knew what they were doing,
03:19like giving that early checkout card to Nella and Toppy.
03:22I think that was a power move, you know?
03:24Yeah.
03:24And when Nella and Toppy were quite upset about receiving it,
03:27I could see straight away that was basically putting all their cars
03:30in that alliance stand.
03:31So it kind of made sense.
03:32I was surprised that they took it so badly, really.
03:35Yeah, but I thought they all sort of know what they're doing.
03:38Of course, I'm in a tough position.
03:40Yeah.
03:40Yeah, for sure.
03:41You guys had a bit of beef with him.
03:42I think you'd probably make that exact decision in that situation.
03:45Oh, if we were in that position.
03:47Out.
03:47Out.
03:48So no more money can be taken from the case.
03:52Good.
03:53Really interesting.
03:54A nice round 200k in that case.
03:57Pretty nice.
03:58Do you think that would change people's gameplay?
04:00Yeah.
04:00Oh, 100%.
04:01I think so, yeah.
04:01100%.
04:02Because you probably won't have the intention of doing them dirty anymore.
04:06Yeah.
04:06Do you know what I mean?
04:06Because you're not getting the 10k.
04:08So an alliance can be built properly.
04:09Yeah, but it's a long game now, isn't it?
04:11It's a game so close to the final,
04:12you have to just get the money when you can,
04:14whether you take 10k out or not.
04:16You have to chase a fortune.
04:17Or at least know where it is, I suppose.
04:19Well, yeah.
04:19That's the real advantage, isn't it?
04:21It does seem like there's a shift now, doesn't it?
04:22Everyone was sort of chasing the fortune,
04:23but now people seem to be really after the early checkout card.
04:26They want to have that knowledge.
04:27Yeah, have that power, yeah.
04:28That seems to be the prize that you want, bizarrely.
04:31Well, that's what we tried to do.
04:32Yeah, and it didn't work out.
04:33It didn't work out.
04:35Because you have the power, don't you?
04:36If you've got the early checkout card,
04:37you know if you can give it away,
04:38you're safe for that episode.
04:40And if you see someone as a threat,
04:42and they come below you,
04:43ha-ha, in a bit.
04:44Did you try to give it us?
04:45I guess the pressure is,
04:48if you've got the checkout card,
04:49you have to do well in the checkout card,
04:51don't you?
04:51Otherwise, you're screwed.
04:52But with Fred and Min there,
04:53you're always going to do better than them, so...
04:54It's kind of safe there.
04:56That's what we thought.
04:58Guys, you're sitting here, and they're not.
05:00Yes!
05:00Oh!
05:01Is that what I'm saying?
05:03I'm saying it was them.
05:04We didn't say anything.
05:05I wish well on Fred and Min.
05:06Do you know what I'm saying?
05:08Now, alliances are so important,
05:09especially at this point of the game.
05:11Now, did we just witness the downfall
05:13of one of the Fortune Hotel's strongest alliances, maybe?
05:17But then again,
05:17are alliances ever truly real in this game?
05:20Let's rewind and take a look at how teamwork
05:23has played out for our pairs so far this series.
05:27So we'll swap with Fred and Min.
05:31Oh, do you want to take this further?
05:33If we can help each other out in things,
05:35just look out for each other in certain ways.
05:36Based on receiving the early checkout card,
05:42we want to have a safety net.
05:44First people we think of is Fred and Min.
05:47We'd love you if you could help us.
05:48Yeah.
05:49We've got a plan.
05:49We've got a plan.
05:50I'm glad we had a chat.
05:51We hope you don't swap back to us.
05:54You two are the last people I would ever want to eliminate
05:56from this competition.
05:58We would like to swap with Fred and Min.
06:00I think maybe an alliance needs to be formed.
06:04Last night landed with something good.
06:06This is brilliant.
06:07They've confirmed exactly what we thought we're going to swap.
06:11Yeah, I agree.
06:13Oh, my God.
06:14We haven't even had the fortune for 24 hours
06:17and it's already gone.
06:20I think we need to start there.
06:21You guys have nothing to worry about.
06:24Pray the plan works.
06:26This is pretty hard to take.
06:27They're taking the best.
06:28We feel like it would be unfair to give Brian and Martina
06:30the early checkout card.
06:32We'd made promises to have each other's backs.
06:34Maybe we should not have placed our trust in them.
06:37We can only swap it with us and Max.
06:41That was a long one.
06:42That was a long one.
06:44Aye, aye, aye, aye, aye.
06:45I mean, do alliances ever really work in this game?
06:50We wouldn't know because we were too chicken to ever get one.
06:53And no one asked us.
06:55Filing out.
06:56I don't think they do because it's every person for themselves, isn't it?
07:00And then the further you get in the game, the more comfort you get, I think.
07:03I think they can work to a certain stage, but when it gets near to the end,
07:06that's when you've got to go all out.
07:08Yeah.
07:08So it sort of helped me survive for a little bit,
07:10but then ultimately it's like the betrayal stings even more, doesn't it?
07:13And I think you can see that with what's going to happen with Mazamax.
07:18We don't know, but you can just see they're like, whoa, what's going on?
07:21He's getting taken personally as well, isn't he?
07:22Yeah.
07:23That's the thing.
07:23And it is really personal and also totally not personal because it is a game, isn't it?
07:28Looking back on that, is there any people that you wish you had teamed up with?
07:31Do you think things could have changed if you made alliances?
07:34Who would you, boys?
07:34We would have loved to.
07:35Toppe and Nella.
07:36Nella and Toppe.
07:37Yeah.
07:38100%.
07:38Did you feel like you were building towards an alliance with Nella and Toppe then?
07:42Eventually down the line.
07:43You would have.
07:43I could have seen that happening.
07:44Yeah.
07:45We say smiling assassins from the get-go, so I think an alliance with them would be good
07:49until they wanted to cut you loose.
07:51Do you know what?
07:51I don't think I would.
07:52I think they're cutthroat, so they would have just gone for it.
07:54And that's what we kind of needed.
07:56We were just thinking, we'll probably lose every task anyways.
07:58And if Saber got an early checkout card, they were doing well in the task,
08:01we'd give it to them and they'd just do their thing.
08:02If we gave that checkout card in that final episode to somebody else,
08:05I generally think we'll still be here and somebody else would have gone a big hitter.
08:10Yeah.
08:10You never know, do you?
08:12No.
08:12It can always change so quickly.
08:14Right, time for a quick break.
08:15We're off to the hotel bar to get a few quick cocktails,
08:18so grab one yourself, meet us back here for more gossip from the Fortune Hotel.
08:22See you in a few.
08:32Now, welcome back to Late Checkout.
08:35We may not offer ocean views, but we've got a front row seat to the best gossip from the
08:40Fortune Hotel.
08:41Coming up, I'm going to be putting guests to the test in a challenge of my own that could,
08:45quite frankly, ruin their relationships for good.
08:47No pressure.
08:48But before that, it's time for everyone's new favourite segment called
08:52I'm Hanging with Mengen.
08:55Turns out we've got more behind-the-scenes gold,
08:58so here is another glimpse of a man left alone with too much spare time and a camera crew.
09:02Congratulations on your purchase of the Jet Ski 5000.
09:10Easy assemblage in 462 steps.
09:14I haven't seen this many cans on a beach since I went to Mykonos with Girls Aloud.
09:19Probably people know that I was actually in one of the Fast and Furious movies.
09:23Do you like my cloche?
09:25The lid comes off.
09:28Still in touch.
09:30Well, I'm still in touch with them.
09:32He's busy.
09:37Don't drink the petrol.
09:40Why don't they put that at the beginning?
09:44Oh, I love it.
09:45What's he like as a hotel host?
09:47He had a bit of a crush on them, didn't he?
09:49Yeah.
09:50Do I lie?
09:52Every time Stephen would speak to him, he'd be like...
09:54Yeah.
09:55It's the linen suits.
09:57It does things to a person, doesn't it?
09:59Now, we have got two of the most competitive pairs on the series on the sofa right now.
10:03So it's only right to pit them against each other in a game of deception and perception.
10:08It's time for Face the Facts, Gov and Gherks versus Teeth and Tash.
10:13Yes, so I'm going to read out a fact about someone from the opposing pair, and you just have to guess who it's about.
10:21So you get it right, the other team does a forfeit, get it wrong, and the forfeit's all yours.
10:25What is the forfeit?
10:26Well, it's the leftover ice lollies from Mangan's Gelateria!
10:30Wow!
10:32Unfortunately, they have melted on the studio lights.
10:34Beautiful concoctions, you're going to definitely really enjoy.
10:38They look really pleasurable.
10:40Good luck.
10:40First up, Gov and Gherks.
10:42Who has sung in front of 4,000 people, Alan or Jacob?
10:48I can't lie, he looks like a singer, though.
10:50What, you think Alan?
10:51Yeah, he's got the whole swagger and that for it.
10:53Have I got the swagger?
10:54No, you have, but I think you'd be more like the backup dancer doing that.
10:57You know what, I can come with you, yeah, Alan.
11:02Alan.
11:02Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, well done, yes, correct.
11:05Which means, Alan, my love, you get to pick.
11:08Let's go two.
11:09Number two.
11:09Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
11:11In one, yeah?
11:11Yeah, right, okay, let's do it.
11:16Oh, wow!
11:18I wouldn't be able to sing now.
11:21Any guesses?
11:22Vinegar, lemon...
11:24Lemon, lime and vinegar, good guess, well done.
11:27Moving on, Alan and Jacob, who did work experience as a dinner lady, Gov or Gerks?
11:32Shut up!
11:33Are you joking?
11:35It's got to be the hair net.
11:35Hair net!
11:38It was indeed Gerks!
11:41Yo, you'd even let us sneak!
11:43Sorry!
11:44He's a good dinner lady, he served me once.
11:46Extra portion of beans, right.
11:48What do you fancy?
11:49I'll do number one.
11:50Number one, okay.
11:52Because we are number one.
11:53Okay.
11:54In our mind.
11:56Brace yourself.
11:57Oi.
11:59Takadu.
12:00Ooh.
12:01Got a bit of spice to it.
12:02Bit of spice!
12:03A bit of spice to it.
12:04Orange juice and hot sauce, that one.
12:06Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:07I have that all the time.
12:08Do you, yeah?
12:09Clears out the sinuses, why not?
12:10Yeah.
12:11Okay, round two, it's one all at the moment.
12:12Gov and Gerks, who backstabbed a friend to get a promotion?
12:15Mmm.
12:16Because you made the first move to get him, didn't you?
12:19When you both got together.
12:21Am I right?
12:22I think you remember more than we do.
12:23Go for it.
12:26Give me your answer.
12:27Jacob.
12:27Jacob.
12:28It was Alan, I'm afraid.
12:32Love you having this one.
12:33It's on you, buddy.
12:34We should pick for them.
12:35I think, because they last, he should do number five.
12:38Go on, then I'm easy with you.
12:39Oh, no, you can't.
12:40Yeah, come on, you could have number five.
12:41Will you do that, then?
12:43Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:43Oh, my God, there is things floating in that.
12:45Oh, that is rough, that one.
12:50That's quite nice.
12:51Oh, my God.
12:53Wait, wait.
12:54That aftertaste is mad.
12:57What is that?
12:58That is cola and horseradish.
13:00Ooh.
13:01That well-known combination.
13:03Nice.
13:03Our breath is kicking, aren't we?
13:06Right, Alan and Jacob,
13:07who has been suspended from their family business three times,
13:10gov or gerks?
13:11Gov.
13:12Because...
13:13What do you mean, bud?
13:14Why are you going gov?
13:16Dodgy.
13:17Dodgy.
13:17No, he is dodgy, to be fair.
13:19He is dodgy.
13:19I like that.
13:20I like the dodgy guy.
13:21What do you think?
13:21Lock in your answer.
13:22Gov.
13:23We're going gov.
13:23It is gov.
13:24Yes!
13:26All right, I'm picking up.
13:27Okay.
13:29Fair enough.
13:29I'm going third, because we're third out.
13:31Third, okay.
13:31Down in one, down in one, down in one, down in one.
13:34Yay!
13:36That had rough bits at the end.
13:38That's good for your health, that.
13:39Yes.
13:39Yeah, that is ting and ginger paste.
13:42Oh.
13:42That actually sounds quite nice.
13:43Got any more of that?
13:44Yeah.
13:45Your immune system is buzzing right now.
13:48Alan and Jacob, you won!
13:49Yes, boys!
13:50Obviously!
13:51And I have actually...
13:53A special surprise for you, that I know you'll take home and frame,
13:57it is a signed photo of Stephen Manning.
14:00Yes!
14:00Yes, Stephen!
14:01Oh, my goodness!
14:02That was destiny, the crush.
14:04Oh, I love it, I love it.
14:05Now we can sleep with it between us.
14:08Through these 250K, where you got this?
14:10Right, it's time for an exclusive tease.
14:14What's in store for the guests on the next episode of The Fortune Hotel?
14:17Oh, oh, oh!
14:18Oh, oh!
14:19Oh, oh, oh!
14:20Oh, oh, oh!
14:21Oh, oh, oh!
14:22Oh, oh, oh, oh!
14:23Oh, oh, oh, oh!
14:24There's never a reason.
14:25There's never a reason.
14:26There are four pairs in this room.
14:27Three pairs are gonna make it to the final day.
14:30Oh, oh, oh, oh!
14:31Oh, oh, oh!
14:32That's not Jeremy and Sue out and get their kiss.
14:34We're literally sat there lying to the faces, but that is the nature of the game.
14:39We're gonna try something a little different today.
14:42We're gonna split the pairs up.
14:44Go!
14:45I've just come from that direction.
14:47There's nothing there.
14:48I've got one.
14:49How about, are you still there?
14:51Over.
14:52Can she hear me?
14:53What's in your case?
14:54Have you got a safe case?
14:56Whatever you do, you can't win.
14:59Do you really see us as threats?
15:01Yes.
15:02Oh!
15:05Them eyes!
15:06Them eyes!
15:07What do you think about that challenge?
15:08The pairs have been split up.
15:09Do you think that's a good idea?
15:11Do you think that would work?
15:12Oh, yeah.
15:13How do you think Fred would do without Min?
15:15Oh!
15:16Well, how will Min do without Fred, I think, as well?
15:20True.
15:21And Nella and Toppy, because I think Toppy really needs Nella,
15:23because they just rely on each other, I think.
15:25Yeah, yeah.
15:26In the Lady Luck, we called it the Nella face,
15:28because she just changes the second...
15:30She was a different woman.
15:31She was a different woman.
15:32Yeah.
15:33You'd go in and we'd say to her,
15:34I was like, you look beautiful tonight.
15:35She's like...
15:38So, like, and then, like, she would make the decisions
15:40and then he would deliver it, I think.
15:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:42So, I think seeing Nella and Toppy separate
15:44will be interesting.
15:45That's what we got as well.
15:46That's what we got, yeah.
15:47Well, that's it from us for now.
15:49Thanks to Gov, Gurks, Alan and Jacob,
15:51and, of course, to you lot at home for joining.
15:53We'll be back soon for more chats with our checked-out guests
15:56and exclusive behind-the-scenes gossip.
15:58We'll see you then.
15:59We'll see you then.
16:00Woo!
