00:00Go!
00:01Gianna's cup finally came up empty.
00:03Oh, my God!
00:07Carmaria flipped out of the competition.
00:10You're amazing.
00:11Come on, baby.
00:12And the Wagners lost two of their own.
00:15That's too much pressure.
00:16Fifteen players head into the semifinals.
00:19Oh, my God.
00:20And one of these people with springs on their head
00:23is going to walk away with a million dollars.
00:25Yeah.
00:26Come on!
00:30Wow!
00:33All right, players.
00:34Welcome to a very special holiday edition of 99 to Beat.
00:39Ken will be cooking a turkey very, very soon.
00:42Gobble, gobble, yo!
00:44Not only is today our holiday special,
00:47but it's also the semifinals!
00:53We started with 100 players,
00:57and now we are down to 15.
01:01And I can't think of a better holiday gift
01:04than making it into the final six
01:06and winning that one million dollars.
01:10Woo!
01:13Just remember, you don't have to be the first.
01:16First.
01:17You don't have to be the best.
01:18Be the best.
01:19Whatever you do.
01:20Don't.
01:21Finish.
01:22Last.
01:23Woo!
01:24Woo!
01:26Come on.
01:28Now through this.
01:29Okay.
01:30Sweet.
01:31Good job.
01:33This money would mean a lot.
01:34The ranch my family and I live on had a fire,
01:37and it would be really nice to give my family
01:39some financial security.
01:41I'm in top 15.
01:42I'm this much closer to a million dollars.
01:50Players, this is a team game.
01:53Using a hair dryer,
01:54you must move a ping pong ball
01:56through an obstacle course.
01:57Each player will be responsible
01:59for one of the five stages of the course.
02:01At the end of each stage,
02:03you must safely land your ping pong ball into a bucket.
02:06The last team to complete the course
02:08will all be eliminated.
02:11Going from 15 to 10 in just a few minutes.
02:13Come on.
02:14That's just too many.
02:15Team captains have been selected at random.
02:19The captain of the red team, David A.
02:25The captain of the yellow team, Danny.
02:29Wow.
02:30Hey.
02:31Danny.
02:32And the captain of the orange team, Jared.
02:36Wow.
02:38God.
02:39I trust you.
02:40Whatever is meant to happen.
02:43David A.
02:44Choose a player to join your team.
02:47I am going with Tommy.
02:48Tommy who is peaking at the right time.
02:51Miranda.
02:53Good call.
02:55Ronald.
02:56Ronald is like old,
02:57so he's like wise, okay?
02:58So I definitely wanted him.
03:00Ciara.
03:02Pastor Peter.
03:03Wow.
03:04Jennifer.
03:07Come on over, Dakota.
03:08Thanks, David.
03:09Okay.
03:10Good call.
03:11They have a great team.
03:12This is the team to beat.
03:13Preston.
03:14Preston.
03:15Good call.
03:16Leo.
03:17Cara.
03:19Cara's good.
03:20Solid.
03:21I'd like the Cara pick.
03:22Leandra.
03:23Only two Wagners remain.
03:24The young'uns.
03:25The young'uns.
03:26Brother and sister are on the same team.
03:27Carly.
03:28What happened, Danny?
03:29Y'all can't be on your team?
03:30Will it be Team David A., Team Danny, or Team Jared going home?
03:37Bring it all the way down until the ball is right there, right above the lip.
03:41This game brings us into top ten.
03:43We all want to win, but top ten is big.
03:45We are going to drop it out of this bucket.
03:47Don't panic.
03:48Everybody has their certain strengths, which each of these challenges are made for, and I'm confident in the team that I picked.
03:54I think you should do the rings because you were used to that.
03:57I agree.
03:58There is so much at stake right now.
04:00We're ready to hair blow dry away the competition.
04:02Yeah!
04:06And we are off.
04:07Must transfer a ping pong ball on top of a hair dryer into a bucket at the end of each stage.
04:14Here's Dakota for Team David A.
04:16You got this, Dakota.
04:17Take it home.
04:18Peter for Team Danny.
04:19Good, Peter.
04:20Good.
04:21Ronald for Team Jared.
04:22Take a deep breath.
04:23No more else.
04:24Okay.
04:25This is the toughest of all the team games so far.
04:28That was good.
04:29There you go.
04:30There you go, Ronald.
04:31There we go, Ronald.
04:32Come on.
04:33Ronald got it in.
04:34Ronald got it in.
04:35Okay.
04:36Angle.
04:38A little more.
04:40Focus.
04:41Yes!
04:42That's Dakota!
04:43Team Danny.
04:44Good, Peter.
04:45Good.
04:46They still haven't finished the first hurdle yet.
04:48Oh.
04:49Close.
04:50This game is clearly a marathon, not a sprint.
04:52Carlene going over the turtle here with nice foliage.
04:56This is all natural foliage.
04:59I may or may not be telling the truth.
05:01Lower, baby.
05:02Lower.
05:03Lower.
05:04Oh, my God!
05:05Carlene got it!
05:06Kara on Team David A.
05:07is also attempting the second stage.
05:09Whoa!
05:10She got it!
05:11Kara got it!
05:12Tommy's going next.
05:13Third leg.
05:14Poor Team Danny.
05:15They're not even out of the gate yet.
05:18I don't know.
05:19They can still catch up.
05:20I'm very aware that both teams are now on the third section of obstacle.
05:25We haven't completed our first yet.
05:27He's good.
05:28Tommy got it!
05:29Tommy gets it in!
05:30Let's go see how confident you're able.
05:32Confident you're able.
05:33Almost.
05:34Keep going.
05:35You're struggling, Ken.
05:36Not a fan of these wireless hair dryers.
05:38I am a little concerned.
05:40Nice, Peter.
05:41Just like that.
05:42No need to push the panic button yet.
05:48Yes!
05:49Peter got it in!
05:50Peter finally gets it in!
05:51Hallelujah!
05:56Yes!
05:57Oh, my God!
05:58Jared got it!
05:59He got it!
06:00Oh, my gosh!
06:01Ciara is tackling the fourth stage for Team David A.
06:04She's so perfect.
06:05And I'm not just talking about her back muscles.
06:07She just whizzed through that.
06:09Just whizzed through that.
06:10Just a natural.
06:11Power Ranger.
06:12Mother.
06:13Yes!
06:14Yes!
06:15All down to David A.
06:16He's so good.
06:17For the final cup.
06:18David, you got this!
06:19Look at me.
06:20You got it.
06:21Everyone else is behind.
06:22All we need is David to bring it home.
06:26Was it wise to leave David A for the last leg of this?
06:30I don't see why it wouldn't be.
06:31He's been a very solid competitor.
06:33David, don't be timid.
06:35Stick your tongue out and trust it.
06:38Go slow, Leo.
06:40Stabilize.
06:41Leo is catching up right now on the fourth leg.
06:43Come on, Leo.
06:46Yes!
06:47Yes!
06:48Oh, my God!
06:49Leo got it!
06:50Leo got it!
06:51Oh, my God!
06:52It's Jennifer.
06:53Here's Preston on the second stage for Team Danny.
06:56Preston got it!
06:57Preston got it on the first try.
06:59That's right.
07:00That's incredible.
07:01Leandra is up next.
07:02Praise God.
07:03We keep fighting, and we're back in it.
07:05You got it.
07:06You got it, Leandra.
07:07This is you.
07:08You've got this.
07:09They're making up time.
07:10They're making up time.
07:11See, I don't know if David A.C. knows this.
07:13David's having a really hard time.
07:15He cannot get that ball through the hoop, and people are catching up.
07:19If Leandra gets this, they will be virtually tied.
07:24Yeah, you're right.
07:25You're right.
07:26You're right.
07:27You're right.
07:28You're right.
07:29Be cool.
07:30Drop it in.
07:31Yes!
07:32Woo!
07:33Leandra did it!
07:34Wow!
07:35David, under.
07:36Okay?
07:37Don't be scared to move.
07:39I put the ball back on there, and it falls off again, so it is hard.
07:44David hasn't gotten it through once.
07:47Come on, Danny.
07:48You got it.
07:50Yeah!
07:51Danny got it.
07:53Danny got it.
07:54It is a three-way race.
07:56Final leg.
07:57Jennifer, Miranda, and David A.
08:00Get on your feet, because you have to stay mobile.
08:02You've got to calm down, but he's too overwhelmed, and that's what he does poorly.
08:06David A is a player that works better with confidence, not with criticism.
08:11It's a game.
08:12It's fun.
08:13Oh, Miranda did a hell of a train of time.
08:15Miranda did a hell of a train of time.
08:16Oh, my God!
08:17Come on, Miranda!
08:18What?
08:19Oh, my God!
08:20She's free.
08:21Oh, my God!
08:22Jennifer!
08:23Oh, my God!
08:24Jennifer!
08:28I'm at the very end.
08:29The bucket's right there.
08:31I tell myself, come on.
08:40Team Jared advances.
08:42Jared, Jennifer, Leo, Carlene, and Ronald.
08:46Wow!
08:48Everyone's powerless in the back.
08:49Look at everyone just sitting, almost with a sense of futility.
08:52You got it, David!
08:54I hate to doubt David, but I'm scared.
08:57We're watching David do the same thing over and over again, and nothing's working.
09:02Team David A or Team Danny are on the verge of elimination.
09:06Time's on your side, Miranda.
09:09Yes, David!
09:10See me, dude.
09:11He got it through.
09:12Wow!
09:13You're doing great now.
09:14I believe in you.
09:15Believe in yourself.
09:17Whoever goes home will be devastated.
09:20It just takes one drop into the cup.
09:27Wow!
09:28It's down to just one drop into the cup.
09:30Team David A or Team Danny.
09:31One of these teams will be going home.
09:33Time's on your side, Miranda.
09:35Whoever goes home will be devastated.
09:37It just takes one drop into the cup.
09:40Oh, she's right there, Ken.
09:42Oh my God!
09:43It's down to just one drop into the cup.
09:45It's down to just one drop into the cup.
09:47Team David A or Team Danny.
09:48Team David A or Team Danny.
09:50One of these teams will be going home.
09:52Time's on your side, Miranda.
09:54Whoever goes home will be devastated.
09:57It just takes one drop into the cup.
10:01Oh, she's right there, Ken.
10:03Oh, my God!
10:05Katie Miranda advances.
10:07Preston, Leandra, Peter, and Danny advances.
10:10Tommy, David A., Cara, Ciara, and Dakota have been eliminated.
10:16It's okay.
10:17Yeah, come on!
10:19This is so painful.
10:21We have just lost five exceptional players.
10:24It's okay.
10:25I feel so bad.
10:26No.
10:26I'm a big team player, and I feel horrible.
10:33I feel so bad.
10:38Don't feel bad.
10:40All the plans I had for my son and me to live more comfortably are gone.
10:46Don't pick yourself up.
10:47I just don't want to walk over there.
10:49Yeah.
10:50Give yourself your time.
10:53I do just feel deeply saddened.
10:55My opportunity and my chance for a million dollars to help me and my family has been taken away from me
11:02in probably the most brutal way possible.
11:07We fought as a team, and it's on the team.
11:10It's not on any one person, so I don't feel that way.
11:13My biggest scare in this competition was having something happen out of my control, and now
11:20someone else here is going to take the money that should have been mine.
11:24It's not a good feeling.
11:25Yeah.
11:27Team David A. I'm heartbroken to have to say, Ciara, Dakota, David A., Cara, and Tommy,
11:46you finish last, and sadly, your million-dollar dream is over.
11:51I did feel like I was really close, but they're all great people.
11:57If I'm not going to be a millionaire, a good person is going to be a millionaire.
12:00I love you so much.
12:02You guys got it.
12:05And with five players eliminated, that prize rises by another $50,000 to $900,000.
12:15Players, you must tie a chain of rubber bands together to create a bungee cord from the starting
12:27ring to your belt.
12:29Once long enough, you must race to grab your Santa hat without breaking the cord.
12:34The last player wearing a Santa hat will be eliminated.
12:40How does this work?
12:42There we go.
12:43I can feel the tension now, right?
12:44A million dollars for anyone is life-changing money.
12:50Personally, I would buy a house, stabilize my life a little bit more, and then give back
12:55to those in need.
12:57I think it's going to be at least 45 rubber bands.
12:59There's maybe about 50 feet between the loop and the pedestal.
13:04I did not think this was going to be this far away.
13:07I believe there's a real reason why Jared has made it to the top 10.
13:12I heard he's studying to be a criminal lawyer.
13:14Love it.
13:15I didn't learn to tie my shoes until I think it was 10, but I can tie a knot pretty well,
13:20I think.
13:21All you can do is just try your best and go for it.
13:26Here we go.
13:27And we are off.
13:28They have to build a DIY bungee cord out of rubber bands so they can reach out and grab
13:37the Santa hat.
13:37Sounds easy.
13:39It's not, because it does rubber band snap, as they say in the medical profession.
13:44What do they say?
13:45Ouch!
13:46I think Leo's got a distinct advantage.
13:51You know, dealing with robe, he's a rancher.
13:55And Jared can.
13:56Oh, shoot.
13:57Oh, no.
13:58I don't know what kind of technique he's doing there.
14:00I'm kind of like double folding these rubber bands, which is giving it more of a stronger
14:06tension.
14:07Jared is using the wrong technique.
14:09He needs to change his tactics.
14:10What do you mean by that?
14:11Should they be longer?
14:12Yes, he's got it way too braided.
14:14Got it.
14:15I think Jared is ready to go.
14:18And so is Carlene.
14:20Oh!
14:21Oh!
14:21Oh, my gosh.
14:22Oh, my God.
14:23See, that's what I worry about Jared.
14:24It's too taut.
14:26Get it, Carlene.
14:26Get it.
14:27Get it.
14:28Oh, shoot!
14:31Leanne just trying it out.
14:33Oh, God.
14:34Don't snap her back.
14:35I'm like, oh, God.
14:39Are you kidding me?
14:41She's got it.
14:42She's got it.
14:43She's got it.
14:44Crazy.
14:45Peter's got it.
14:46Peter's got it.
14:47Yo, what up, Leanne?
14:48Oh, my gosh.
14:51Leo repelling himself down like he's from a building.
14:54Love how Leo's doing this.
14:56Oh, it's not long enough.
14:57My line is getting just a little too tight, and the last thing I want it to do is snap.
15:02Let's see if Ronald's is long enough.
15:07Ronald got his.
15:09Uh-oh.
15:10Oh, come on, Jennifer.
15:12Look at Leo.
15:14Come on.
15:14You got it.
15:14You got it.
15:15Oh, God.
15:16Jennifer's got through.
15:18She joins Leandra, Peter, Ronald, and Leo.
15:22Press to go for it.
15:23He's got length.
15:24Don't be cocky.
15:25Got it.
15:26Got it.
15:26Oh, okay.
15:27Go ahead.
15:27Be cocky.
15:28Four players left.
15:29Carlene, Jared, Miranda, and Danny.
15:32You got this.
15:33It's going to snap again.
15:34It's not long enough.
15:35It's going to pop.
15:36Jared, you need more rubber bands.
15:37I'm listening to the other players in the back, like Ronald, and I'm just like, hmm, what could possibly, like, be wrong in the way that I did the rubber bands?
15:46It's not making me able to move as far as I need to.
15:50I don't know if you can undo that.
15:53Carlene, go slow at the end, okay?
15:55Carlene.
15:56Carlene's got it.
15:58Three left, Ken.
15:59Jared, Miranda, Danny.
16:01Danny, Danny, Danny.
16:03Oh, my God, Danny.
16:04Oh, oh, oh.
16:05She should have used her reach more.
16:07I back it up.
16:08I realize I'm feeling tension.
16:10Careful, Miranda.
16:11And I'm hearing the snap.
16:14As I'm hearing the snap, I'm like, okay, I have time to go slowly, slowly, slowly, getting to the point where I just have to reach for the end goal.
16:23I'm not letting it snap on me.
16:25Miranda, close.
16:26Miranda, close.
16:27Careful, careful, careful.
16:29She got it.
16:30So it's Danny and Jared, Ken.
16:33Final two.
16:33One of them will finish last.
16:37She's going to have it here.
16:38She has enough.
16:40Come on, Danny.
16:43That hurts.
16:45You got it, Danny.
16:47I can't think about the pain.
16:49I have got to get back and fix this rubber band again.
16:52She has to retie.
16:54This gives Jared an amazing opportunity.
16:57You got this, Jared.
16:58Danny's nearly ready to go again.
17:00She just needs to reattach her belt.
17:02Come on, Harry.
17:04Oh, Danny.
17:08Danny is closed right now.
17:10God, oh, God.
17:12God, oh, God.
17:12She got it.
17:13She's got it.
17:14I love you, Santa.
17:16Danny survives.
17:17Jared is eliminated.
17:19Ebullient spirit.
17:22You did amazing.
17:23You know that.
17:24An amazing player.
17:25And we're going to miss him.
17:27My time is over.
17:28It's heartbreaking.
17:29Coming into this, I kind of just felt like just a little 21-year-old outsider.
17:33So to say that I beat 90 people, me, a 21-year-old from New Jersey, I'm over the moon.
17:41Jared, beneath your fun-loving exterior lies a very thoughtful and competitive spirit, and we'll miss you.
17:55But you finish in 10th place, and your million-dollar dream is over.
18:01Woo!
18:03Yeah!
18:04Hey!
18:05Jared!
18:05Jared!
18:05Jared!
18:06Jared!
18:06Jared, it's the 91st player to be eliminated, meaning that the prize now stands at $910,000.
18:22Woo!
18:23Woo!
18:23Woo!
18:24Woo!
18:24Woo!
18:29Players, you must fill a syringe with water and extinguish three candles.
18:34The last player to extinguish all three candles will be eliminated.
18:41Jennifer plays video games for a living, so hopefully her aim is going to be good.
18:45Her aim is good.
18:46My parents came to America to give me a better life, and they've provided so much for me and given up everything.
18:53When I win the million dollars, I'm going to pay it forward to them and make sure they have the most comfortable and loving life that I can give them.
19:00This is Ronald's event.
19:01He is literally a firefighter.
19:03Oh, that would be very embarrassing to go back to the fire station if I couldn't put a fire out.
19:08Leo, as a pentathlete, does riflery, so he's a sharpshooter.
19:12Ken, we're going to get wet.
19:14Oh, wow.
19:14I think you're right.
19:17And they are off.
19:19Fill a syringe with water and extinguish three candles.
19:22Simple as that.
19:23The last player to extinguish their three candles will be eliminated.
19:26It's a pretty far distance.
19:28Oh, Ronald almost got one out.
19:32He did.
19:32He got one out.
19:33Come on, Ronald.
19:36This is exciting.
19:39Oh, Leo has one out.
19:41Oh, my God.
19:42Sharpshooter and Leo.
19:44Preston just got one.
19:46Preston only 20 years old.
19:48Probably doesn't even know what a candle looks like.
19:50Hasn't blown out many on his cake.
19:52You know what I mean?
19:53Peter has one.
19:57Yes.
19:58Hallelujah.
20:00Preston has two.
20:01We really don't have to whisper.
20:03But I feel like we have to be respectful.
20:05Yeah.
20:05And it's so soothing.
20:07I feel like I'm at a spa.
20:08Do you have any lavender?
20:14Oh, my God.
20:15Danny's got one.
20:16Danny's got one.
20:18Carleen has one, finally.
20:20Ronald got this.
20:21Yes, Ronald has two.
20:23Danny has two.
20:26Jennifer has got none.
20:29Andra got one.
20:32Oh!
20:33Carleen got it.
20:34Yes!
20:35Wow!
20:37Preston has it!
20:38Preston has it!
20:41Yes!
20:43Take your time.
20:44Slow down.
20:45And steady your hands.
20:46You see, you almost got that one.
20:47What's amazing about the fellowship right now?
20:48A million dollars is on the line.
20:50And still, the instinct is to help others.
20:53Danny got them all.
20:54Danny got them all.
20:56Wow, Danny.
20:57Amazing.
20:57Awesome.
20:59Six people left.
21:01Jennifer still hasn't got one.
21:03Oh, man.
21:03Leo, two to go.
21:05Surprising for a rifleman.
21:06I'm not getting frustrated, but it's annoying to think that I'm now watching people leave and I'm still here firing.
21:13I'm getting nervous now.
21:15This is for a million dollars to get ultimately into the final six.
21:19Oh, my gosh.
21:19One of them is going home.
21:23Oh!
21:30So far, only three players have extinguished all three flames.
21:35So six are still left in play.
21:39Peter is through.
21:41Pop!
21:41Pop!
21:44There you go.
21:45Come on.
21:45Miranda got it.
21:47Final four.
21:48Leo.
21:49Ronald.
21:50Man, Leo.
21:51I am shocked.
21:52Yeah.
21:53Leandra and Jennifer, who has not extinguished one.
21:56One of them are going home.
21:58Ronald has a yes.
21:59Yes.
22:00It was a little bit different than fighting the fire, but I wasn't eliminated, so, hey, we live to fight another day.
22:05Final three.
22:06Leo, Leandra, Jennifer.
22:09One of them are going home.
22:11Wait, is Jennifer's?
22:12No, it's still going.
22:13One left, Leandra.
22:14You're good.
22:16So close.
22:17The middle candle has now gone out for Jennifer.
22:20It was hanging on.
22:22There you go.
22:22Oh, you're on it.
22:23Oh, you're so on it.
22:24How you doing, Leo?
22:25There you go.
22:26That was great.
22:27And I didn't mean to pick here.
22:29No offense, but for me personally, you're not a voice of calm.
22:31Okay.
22:32All right.
22:32Not to be mean.
22:33Sorry.
22:33No, no, no.
22:34It's fine.
22:34It's fine.
22:35That is the gossip I'm into.
22:38Wow.
22:40Yes.
22:40Yeah.
22:41One more.
22:41One more for Leo.
22:42One more for Leandra.
22:43Two more for Jennifer.
22:47Oh, there it is.
22:48Yes.
22:49You don't like about Leandra.
22:50We shouldn't get enough credit for her tenacity.
22:52She just never gives up.
22:53All right.
22:53Let's go, Jennifer.
22:54You got this.
22:55Come on.
22:55Final two.
22:57Either Jennifer or Leo.
22:58One is going home.
23:01Oh.
23:01What a shot.
23:04Whoa.
23:05Jennifer has extinguished the second candle.
23:07It's the same candle for both of them.
23:09Both of their hopes rest on this last candle.
23:12Oh.
23:13Whoa.
23:13It's so difficult going head to head because Leo has honestly become one of my greatest friends
23:19here.
23:20God, I'm getting emotional right now.
23:22This is so terrifying.
23:24I know one of us is going home, but I'm not going to give up.
23:29There's a million dollars on the line.
23:30Slower and aim.
23:31Danny, call my shots.
23:33Yep.
23:33Just keep firing it.
23:34Lean back if you have to.
23:35Yeah.
23:37There you go.
23:38Whoa.
23:38She got it.
23:39Jennifer extinguished the third candle.
23:42Leo is going home.
23:44How frustrating.
23:45Good job.
23:46Good job.
23:47Oh, Leo.
23:48Leo's dream is over.
23:51It's tough.
23:52Oh, my God.
23:58You're good.
23:59It was going to be one of us.
24:01Come here.
24:02Sorry.
24:02Sorry.
24:02And look how supportive Leo is.
24:06And now what he's doing now.
24:08Aw.
24:09The closer I got, the more real I thought that this would be.
24:12A loss never feels good, but it is easier losing to people I like because I'm happy to
24:20see them succeed without me.
24:27Leo, your multifaceted talent and dignified competitive spirit really made an impact on
24:34us all, but you finished in ninth place.
24:37And sadly, your million-dollar dream is over.
24:40Love you, Leo.
24:42Leo, Leo, Leo, Leo.
24:46Love you, Leo.
24:48Come on, Leo.
24:50Leo, count one.
24:52Leo is the 92nd player to be eliminated.
24:55Meaning that the prize now stands at $920,000.
25:01Woo!
25:01Woo!
25:02Woo!
25:02Woo!
25:02Woo!
25:07Players, in this game, you will first play as two teams of four.
25:12Each team must attempt to balance their seesaw for three seconds.
25:16The losing team will split up and play against each other, two versus two.
25:22The pair who fails this round will play against each other in a head-to-head final round.
25:27The last player to balance will be eliminated.
25:33I think this game is going to take a lot of communication, a lot of group effort, and
25:37just small, subtle movements.
25:39You're going to definitely have to come together as a team.
25:41For this game, teams are randomly selected by picking a gold or red ball from a bucket.
25:46Goal team is Miranda, Jennifer, Ronald, and Leandra.
25:50Preston, Peter, Carlene, and Danny are on team red.
25:53You just anchor yourself somewhere, and then you know balance really well.
25:57So you just shift your weight.
25:58Where?
25:59Where should I be?
26:00In the middle.
26:00I'm confident in my ability to gather my group and get the job done.
26:06I'm going to stay in the middle with you because they're the exact same size pretty much.
26:09I love Jennifer right now.
26:11She's a gamer.
26:12She loves figuring things out.
26:14I think my balance is okay, but it's also not about my balance.
26:17It's about our team's balance, too.
26:20Ultimately, this comes down to communication and teamwork once again.
26:23Here we go.
26:25Round one of balance seesaw.
26:28Team gold.
26:29Ronald, Leandra, Miranda, and Jennifer.
26:32And team red.
26:33Peter, Danny, Carlene, and Preston have to balance the weight on the seesaw for three seconds.
26:40Whoa.
26:40Wow, Danny.
26:41Whoa.
26:41One, two.
26:43Nope.
26:43Almost.
26:44Oh, wait, Ken.
26:45Ah!
26:45No.
26:46I don't know why Jennifer's off to the side.
26:48I think Jennifer needs to be behind Ronald at all times.
26:51Step out.
26:51There you go.
26:53Good boy.
26:53Well done.
26:54Sorry, I didn't mean that.
26:55Oh, God, don't move.
26:56Okay.
26:57Keep going.
26:58Keep going.
26:58No, that's probably good.
26:59Stop right there.
26:59Come back.
26:59Come back.
27:00It's going to be on Jen.
27:02Jen's the only one to move.
27:03There's too many voices.
27:04I agree.
27:05Ready?
27:06Yep.
27:06Yep.
27:08Good.
27:10Oh, don't move.
27:12Move.
27:12Okay, hold on.
27:13You're going too fast.
27:14You're going too fast.
27:14This is perfect.
27:15This is perfect.
27:16Oh, my gosh.
27:17They need to listen.
27:18Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
27:20Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
27:22Stop.
27:30Team red versus team gold.
27:32They have to keep it on the red for at least three seconds.
27:35Yeah, yeah.
27:35One of them will be going home.
27:37Don't move.
27:38Whoa.
27:39Okay, hold on.
27:39You're going too fast.
27:40You're going too fast.
27:42Oh, my gosh.
27:42They need to listen.
27:44Okay, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
27:46Whoa, whoa, whoa.
27:47Stop.
27:47Go back out.
27:52That was so close.
27:54Keep doing it.
27:55Keep doing it.
27:55I feel like I'm birthing a child.
27:58Hold on.
27:58Hold on.
27:58Hold on.
27:58Hold on.
27:59Lean back.
28:00Lean back.
28:00Lean back.
28:01Stay right there.
28:01Oh, lean.
28:03We almost had it, y'all.
28:05Come on.
28:05Yeah, yeah.
28:05Don't give up.
28:06Don't give up.
28:06I love Ronald right now.
28:07We almost had it, y'all.
28:08Don't give up.
28:09I love that.
28:10I have two sisters, a mom.
28:11My dad passed early.
28:13So I've been surrounded by women for a long time.
28:16So I'm used to working with women, dealing with women.
28:18So I think my team is perfect.
28:21Slow, slow.
28:22There's way too much weight on that side.
28:23Wow.
28:24This is so much harder than I expected.
28:26Both teams are having problems.
28:27We got it.
28:28We got it.
28:28Stop moving.
28:31Stop moving.
28:32You don't know when to move left.
28:33You don't know when to move right.
28:34You don't know when to shift your weight.
28:36It's giving us a little bit of trouble right now.
28:39Stop.
28:41Stop.
28:42Oh, dang it.
28:43Go that way just a little more.
28:45Go a little bit to the end, Miranda.
28:50They got it.
28:51Oh, my God.
28:53We got it?
28:53Let's go.
28:55Let's go.
28:56So the remaining players, Peter, Danny, Carlene, and Preston, will face each other in pairs.
29:03I am shocked.
29:04Holy moly.
29:05Gold team got the gold medal.
29:07Woo-hoo.
29:08Hey, the ladies made it look easy.
29:10Round two, Ken.
29:11Carlene and Danny are team gold.
29:13Peter and Preston are team red.
29:16Feet planted, and we're shifting weight.
29:19You should be behind me and shift left to the right, and I get it centered.
29:23It has to be either or.
29:24How are we going to bounce?
29:25You don't have to be on either side.
29:26Oh, okay.
29:27So let's just see.
29:28Let's just see.
29:29Yeah, let's just see.
29:30All right.
29:30Ladies versus the guys.
29:33Let's go.
29:38Team gold, Carlene and Danny.
29:40Team red, Peter and Preston.
29:42You stay put.
29:43Now you're going to have to move your weight back and forth, okay?
29:45Now, one thing we learned, you've got to talk to each other calmly.
29:49All right.
29:49No, you stay put.
29:49Okay, all right.
29:50Preston and Peter, you've got to stand together in the middle.
29:52Act like you're surfing.
29:53You guys are too close together.
29:55Let Danny do the walking.
29:56I'm hearing a lot of contradicting advice.
29:58I agree.
29:59Come close.
29:59You guys are too close together.
30:01Keep surfing, baby.
30:02There you go.
30:03Now lift it up.
30:03I would do a Leo and just say, kindly zip it.
30:06I need you to be reli...
30:08It's very challenging, even though we do have a similar weight.
30:14Slow is the name of the game.
30:16You're doing great.
30:17You're doing just fine.
30:18I'm thinking, can be cool, calm, keep playing my game because mistakes get made.
30:24The end hasn't been written yet.
30:27Amorlene, you stay.
30:28Okay.
30:28I got it.
30:29Don't, don't.
30:29You don't move.
30:30As we're strategizing, Carlene isn't understanding how it works.
30:34I predict a meltdown.
30:36I'm just growing, like, incredibly frustrated.
30:39Not even getting close.
30:45God, look at the frustration on Danny's face.
30:47Don't give up, Danny.
30:47Let's go.
30:48Let's go.
30:48She's moving too much.
30:49She's moving too much.
30:51Stay in your stance.
30:52Stay nice and tight.
30:53Nice!
30:57Red pulls through.
30:59Peter, Preston, move on.
31:02It is now Carlene and Danny going head to head.
31:05I'm feeling a lot of pressure only because how heavy this balance beam is.
31:10So doing it on my own, I'm a little scared.
31:13We are right there.
31:15I mean, we're, like, balancing a million dollars right now.
31:21And they are off.
31:23Danny, Carlene, one of them goes home.
31:27They were both so visibly frustrated when they lost the last round.
31:31Lean on the bar for the weight.
31:33There you go.
31:34You feel that?
31:35Keep going, Carlene.
31:36You got it.
31:37If it moves slow, you can stop it slow.
31:40Small movements.
31:41The hardest thing right now is just getting the motion in and getting the rhythm of the balance beam.
31:47I do think Danny is moving a little bit too much.
31:51That's all right.
31:52Don't give up, baby.
31:53Let's go.
31:53Carlene.
31:54Oh, my God.
31:57Carlene is coming ever so close to eliminating Danny.
32:01Danny, try a wider stance.
32:02I think Danny's panicking.
32:04Oh.
32:06This sea salt is so heavy.
32:09And I don't weigh a lot.
32:11So it's just starting to feel impossible.
32:14I feel like things are slipping away.
32:16I'm just surprised.
32:18I thought you would just easily have this.
32:20Oh.
32:21Oof.
32:21Don't walk.
32:22It's about your arms and your legs.
32:25Oh, Danny, Danny, Danny.
32:27Danny, Carlene, one of them goes home.
32:39Whoa, Danny, Danny, Danny.
32:41That was two seconds easily.
32:43The atmosphere is tense.
32:45When this starts to move, just get low.
32:47Come on, Carlene.
32:49One, two, three.
32:51He's got it.
32:51He's got it.
32:52He's got it.
32:54Oh, my God.
32:56And Danny is eliminated.
32:58Carlene moves on to the next round.
33:02Good job, Carlene.
33:03You're lying.
33:05That was close.
33:06Oh, man.
33:07Poor Danny.
33:08She had such a great attitude this entire competition.
33:11She was a sweet mom.
33:13She was a great supporter of everyone.
33:15It's a bummer.
33:17I just couldn't find that right balance.
33:19But it was nice to do something for myself, get back in the game again, and be competitive.
33:23It's been so much fun.
33:25My thighs were shaking.
33:31Danny, you're one of the most complete players.
33:35So tough, yet so classy.
33:37Face everything with a smile, but you finish in eight place, and your million-dollar dream is over.
33:45I love you.
33:47Well done.
33:48Well done.
33:49Well done.
33:49I love you guys.
33:51Have fun.
33:51Danny, Mr. Voyager.
33:58Danny was the 93rd player to be eliminated.
34:01So the prize now stands at $930,000.
34:14Players, you must stack ten boxes on top of each other in order.
34:19You can only add a box to the bottom of the stack.
34:22The last player to complete their tower of boxes will be eliminated.
34:27Everybody who completes this task is in the final.
34:32Tell me, I got it.
34:34You got this.
34:34I'm glad that my brother and I are still here to encourage each other and to represent our family.
34:40But at the end of the day, we all want to take home that million dollars, and so I'm going to fight for that.
34:43Good.
34:44Everyone's studying the boxes.
34:45What about that?
34:46The pressure is on, but, you know, with pressure comes diamonds.
34:51One more game to go.
34:52I make it through this game.
34:53I'm in the finals.
34:55Oh, that's super close.
34:56One of the tricks is going to be, for me, I think, is thinking about keeping my spine parallel.
35:02But I've also almost been eliminated a number of times, so I'm not sure I'm the person to listen to.
35:11And they are off.
35:12What's your strategy?
35:13Get it right, take your time, and keep your cool.
35:17Preston?
35:17Preston is sick.
35:18Oh, my gosh.
35:19He's like the Grinch that stole all those presents and put them in his sleigh.
35:22How are they balancing like that?
35:24It doesn't matter if you're in the lead.
35:26Just don't finish last.
35:28And the likelihood of finishing last and doing this too fast, you'll have to start all over again.
35:32Oh, no.
35:33Shoot.
35:34Ronald's trying to do it, Ken.
35:36It's going to collapse.
35:37No, it's not.
35:38No, it's not.
35:39He's juggling.
35:39The only thing that's going through my mind is, don't let it fall.
35:43I'm five seconds from the finals.
35:47Oh, my gosh.
35:48Are you kidding me?
35:49Oh, my gosh.
35:49Oh, my gosh.
35:50He has surprised me.
35:54Whoa.
35:55Ronald did it.
35:57Incredible.
35:58Ronald is the first finalist of 99 to Beat.
36:05Crushing.
36:06Look at Peter.
36:06He's trying now.
36:07Is Peter going to join Ronald in the final?
36:12I didn't get into ministry for the money.
36:13So winning the million-dollar prize would be a huge blessing to my family, my church, my community.
36:21See?
36:27Peter is joining Ronald in the final.
36:33Okay, press in right now is on the verge, but look at number one.
36:36Oh, gosh.
36:36Oh, gosh.
36:37Oh, gosh.
36:37Oh, gosh.
36:38Oh, gosh.
36:38So, save.
36:41Look at Leandra.
36:42She has nine stacked, Ken.
36:45Leandra, look at the top and stay smooth.
36:48If Leandra gets it, it proves it's not about size.
36:50It's about keeping her cool.
36:53No rush.
36:54No rush, Leandra.
36:55It's going to fall.
36:56It's not.
36:56She's going to get it.
36:58A little bit more to the right.
36:59A little bit more.
36:59A little bit more.
37:01That's it.
37:02Leandra has made it to the finals.
37:06Get it, girl.
37:07Leandra goes through and joins Ronald and Peter in the finals.
37:12Preston, look at me.
37:13Breathe.
37:14But can her brother Preston make it two Wagners in the final?
37:18Look at me, Preston.
37:20Pause.
37:20Like you're at the gym, like this.
37:22Leandra is on the side shouting encouragement.
37:25Hey, pause.
37:26Look at me.
37:27Stabilize it, Preston.
37:28It is a little risky because I can be put off.
37:33You got lots of time.
37:34You're panicking.
37:37It's about to fall.
37:40God, it was so close.
37:43Carlene is aiming to be the fourth finalist of 99 to beat.
37:48Oh.
37:49Oh.
37:52She may have this, Ken.
37:56You got it.
37:57You got it.
37:57You're there.
37:58Walk away.
38:04Carlene is the fourth finalist of 99 to beat, joining Ronald, Peter, and Leandra.
38:10The final three, Ken.
38:12Jennifer, Preston, and Miranda.
38:14Preston, make sure you look up the whole time.
38:16This is just balance.
38:17You know it.
38:18This is Preston's third attempt.
38:20Can Preston be the fifth finalist of 99 to beat?
38:25He's got it.
38:27Don't be cocky.
38:28Tilt it, tilt it, tilt it, other way.
38:29No.
38:36There you go.
38:36He's got it.
38:37Ken Preston will be the fifth finalist of 99 to beat.
38:42Don't be cocky.
38:43Tilt it, tilt it.
38:45No.
38:45Oh, no.
38:47Another collapse.
38:49I should have had it.
38:50But then I was cocky.
38:52I got to recover and just get right back up.
38:56Take a deep breath.
38:57Jennifer, you got time.
38:59If you don't feel it, set it back down.
39:01Oh, I love that.
39:02Ronald, he's just sitting there trying to coach her up.
39:05I can feel my legs tensing up, and I'm struggling right now.
39:10Hold your...
39:11Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
39:12You got this, Jennifer.
39:14Walk away.
39:16Jennifer is the fifth finalist of 99 to beat.
39:19I'm so grateful Ronald chose to help me through it.
39:26He's like a father figure to me.
39:29It is down between Preston and Miranda.
39:31One of them is going home.
39:33Calm down, Miranda.
39:35Take a deep breath, nice and slow.
39:36Preston, you got it.
39:37Let's go.
39:38Both of them in the exact same place.
39:41Nine boxes.
39:42Got to get it on the 10th one.
39:44One of them is going to the finals, and one of them is going home.
39:48Smooth.
39:49Smooth, Miranda.
39:50It is a race to the finish.
39:53Miranda's catching up.
39:54You got to lift it now.
39:55Keep going, Miranda.
39:56Lift it now.
39:58You got to speed up.
40:00Preston, let's go.
40:00You're right there.
40:02Preston, let go now.
40:04Walk away, Miranda.
40:05Walk away.
40:05Let go now, Preston.
40:06And Miranda has made it to the final by seconds.
40:19Preston is eliminated.
40:21Miranda is through.
40:22Hold on.
40:23Six finalists.
40:24Ronald, Peter, Miranda, Carleen, Leandra, and Jennifer.
40:28Oh, stop.
40:29Preston narrowly eliminated.
40:32I could have been a little quicker.
40:33That probably would have saved me.
40:35Miranda did phenomenal.
40:37She's a fighter.
40:39You deserve it.
40:40Well, you did great.
40:42I'm feeling sad.
40:44Yeah, it was really tough to watch.
40:45Part of me also feels a little bit guilty because I'm like, I stopped him so many times.
40:49Could have that been that extra second?
40:52Either way, I'll try to take it home for our family to represent.
40:55Preston, our youngest player, wise beyond your years, you've done your family proud, but
41:08you finished in seventh place, and your million-dollar dream is over.
41:14Love you, Preston.
41:17Well done.
41:18Well done.
41:19Love you, Preston.
41:20I got it.
41:21I got it.
41:21I got it.
41:21I got it.
41:21I got it.
41:21I got it.
41:21I got it.
41:22I got it.
41:22I got it.
41:23I got it.
41:23I got it.
41:24I got it.
41:25I got it.
41:25I got it.
41:27Preston is the 94th player to be eliminated, meaning that the prize now stands at $940,000.
41:35Yes!
41:36Wow!
41:37Let's go!
41:38And then there were six.
41:46Yes!
41:47Wild!
41:48Wild!
41:49Wild!
41:50Next time we see you guys, one of you is going to be wild.
41:55You're going to be walking away with a million dollars.
41:58Let's go!
42:00You have defeated 94 other players through a combination of focus, sheer will to survive,
42:08and the ability to keep your cool when it mattered the most.
42:12And above all, you remembered the golden rule.
42:16Don't.
42:17Finish.
42:18Last!
42:19We'll see you next time for the finale of 99 to Beat.
42:25Happy Holidays!
42:26Yay!
42:27Yay!
42:28Thank you so much!
42:29Woo!
42:30Next time on 99 to Beat.
42:32Finale!
42:33Let's go!
42:34Six players have reached the final.
42:37How's your stress level?
42:39High.
42:40Confetti flies.
42:41What else do you want from me?
42:44Frustration boils.
42:45What am I supposed to do?
42:46I'm watching Leandra lose her mind.
42:48And the tensions rise.
42:50Oh no, the balls are falling off!
42:52Who can hold their nerve when everything is on the line?
42:55Oh my goodness!
42:56One of these players is going to be a millionaire.
