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