00:08I'm John, age 72. People see me and they think, oh, he might have gone to a public school like
00:15Eton, and they're exactly right. I did go to Eton. I'm excited about the competition. It
00:21is a beautiful property, but the gates were shut. Clearly, it's not going to be a simple start.
00:33I would not consider myself academically intelligent, but if there's a competition, I'm winning
00:39it like I will literally stop at nothing. Hello. I'm John. Ella. Nice to meet you. Today's all about
00:47first impressions, and we know first impressions last. I'm not wearing my smart glasses for nothing.
00:52Come on. Nice to meet you. Sometimes people see the braids and the muscles and forget that I actually
00:56have a brain under there. To open the gates, put the six celebrity names in age order, from
01:05the youngest to the oldest, by pressing the buttons. Liam Gallagher. Emily Atak. Danny Dyer. Kate
01:13Middleton. Beyoncé. Beckham. Do you know all of these? No. No, I don't. Emily Atak. How old
01:20does she look? Mid-30s. Danny Dyer. Didn't know Danny Dyer. He's in his senders. Like, late
01:2740s, 50s. Kate will be 43, 44. Oh, perfect. Beckham's in his 50s. I think Liam is oldest.
01:38Harder than Beckham. Okay. I just don't know who to go for for the youngest. I think Beyoncé.
01:44Beyoncé's around 40. Shall we start with Emily? Beyoncé, yeah. Then go Kate. Kate.
01:52Danny Dyer, then David Beckham. Then Liam Gallagher.
02:00Time to regroup. We've got to think again.
02:06Welcome to our manor. I'm Danny Dyer and this is my partner in crime, Emily Atak.
02:18We've invited ten complete strangers from all walks of life here to take part in a brand
02:25new brain-twisting game. I went to Oxford University. I am from Essex. I'm a serial entrepreneur.
02:31I do regular quizzes and that's my forte.
02:36Every day they'll take on a big money quiz for a chance to build a prize pot worth up to
02:42a hundred thousand pounds.
02:44What H is a form of poetry originating in Japan?
02:47Haiku. Correct.
02:48Come on! That's what we're talking about!
02:51Hotels in Hawaii, Sicily and Thailand are the settings for which television series?
02:56Best exotic marigold huddy. US Open. McLaren. China.
02:59But here's the twist. The quiz is played in secret. No one knows how any of their rivals have scored.
03:07I got 14.
03:09It does seem a little suspicious.
03:11But the rest of the challenges...
03:13What the...
03:14...will be played out in plain sight.
03:18What? What?
03:19I am picking up such bull****** vibes from Billy.
03:23Hope you miss it, Bill.
03:24Pull!
03:25Oh!
03:26Release the balls!
03:29And with just their own judgement to rely on...
03:32Omar...
03:32...I don't think he's clever.
03:34...spotting the weakest player...
03:38Ow!
03:39There's no Ian conniving, love.
03:41But there is one in weakest.
03:43In fact, there's two.
03:44It's the biggest test of all.
03:46Bloody **** game.
03:49Because at the end of each day, they must correctly identify an evict who has contributed the least to the
03:55prize pot.
03:56It's time for the valuation.
03:58Or risk losing the cash.
04:00I contributed £2,400.
04:04I contributed £1,800 to the pot.
04:07£1,800 to the pot.
04:09I wouldn't say I like telling lies, but if needs be, needs be.
04:1550% of the people around this table have manipulated their figure.
04:19That's crazy.
04:20You just have to be honest.
04:21There's too many people lying.
04:23Why are you answering?
04:24That's enough of that.
04:25To win this game, it's not about how smart you are.
04:28It's about how smart your rivals think you are.
04:32I can reveal that you are not the worst player here.
04:37What?
04:38You ready?
04:39Yeah.
04:40Let's go.
04:41So can a blagger with a plan be a genius without one?
04:45Let the bluffing begin.
04:52Okay.
04:53We're in a little bit of a pickle here, aren't we?
04:55She looks like she might know.
04:56I'm not too sure.
04:58My name's Melissa.
05:00I went to Oxford University to read philosophy, politics and economics.
05:05When I was 12, I joined Mensa with an IQ of 178, which is higher than Einstein's.
05:10Hi.
05:11Melissa.
05:12Melissa, nice to meet you.
05:13Hello there.
05:14Emily Tax was in the in-betweeners, wasn't she?
05:16She was super young there.
05:17What's her name?
05:18Charlotte.
05:18Tits, exactly.
05:19Sorry.
05:21I know Liam Gallagher by name.
05:24I love music.
05:25I hold a rock festival in my back garden in Norfolk.
05:29Capacity up to 10,000 people.
05:31I really enjoy modern life and keep on rocking in the free world.
05:36I think we swap Kate and Beyonce.
05:39Somebody else.
05:40Another human.
05:42Go for it.
05:43Emily.
05:44Kate.
05:45Beyonce.
05:46Dyer Beckham Gallagher.
05:50Yeah!
05:52Fantastic.
05:53Teamwork.
05:54That's really good.
05:55Let's go.
05:56We didn't need that person.
05:58I can't run.
06:00I'll walk swiftly.
06:02That was really cool.
06:03Well done.
06:07Oh dear.
06:08That's not good.
06:15Good health.
06:16Cheers.
06:17Lovely to meet you.
06:19I'm immediately trying to figure out who's smart.
06:22I don't want to be judged as a young stupid 20 year old.
06:30How old do you think Beyonce is?
06:31About 45.
06:32Yeah, I could see that.
06:35We've got another person coming.
06:36Hi.
06:37My name's Omar.
06:38I run businesses.
06:39I own a financial brokerage.
06:42Hello.
06:42Omar, nice to meet you.
06:43Harry.
06:44Jackie.
06:44Nice to meet you Jackie.
06:45Hi, I'm Sonia.
06:46Nice to meet you.
06:47There's people that are much smarter than me and they work for me.
06:49So what does that tell you?
06:51What can we agree is the oldest?
06:54Beyonce.
06:56I think Beyonce had a baby when she was in her 50s.
07:02Come on you lot.
07:03I had Liam Gallagher as the oldest.
07:06We haven't done Beyonce as the oldest yet.
07:08Let's try it.
07:10Jackie thought that Beyonce was over 50.
07:12That's where we got stuck.
07:14Liam Gallagher, David Beckham, Beyonce.
07:18Oh dear.
07:20I definitely self-describe as a geek.
07:22In my head I'm nerding out about all the possible combinations
07:25and permutations to get through the gate.
07:27And the last thing we want is to be pressing buttons at random.
07:30I'd go younger than 48.
07:32I would agree.
07:32Go for it.
07:33Emily.
07:34Kate Middleton.
07:35Beyonce.
07:35Beyonce.
07:36Danny Dyer.
07:38David Beckham.
07:39Liam Gallagher.
07:40Hooray!
07:42Thank you very much.
07:44First impression of Jackie.
07:45Not really too sure if she belongs here.
07:47The first thing I'm Googling.
07:49Well Beyonce is.
07:51Seemed like she was just a bit of a pub quizzer.
07:59Oh this is too cool.
08:02I'm so excited to meet colleagues and competitors.
08:06My first impression of dear Melissa is she looks very prim and proper.
08:10Potentially a kind of vicar's daughter.
08:13Beautiful architecture.
08:14This now gets us into the more domestic quarters.
08:18Yes of course.
08:19John is posh.
08:20He seems smart.
08:22Walking around the house he knows a lot of historical facts.
08:24There would have been a bell in every room.
08:27Someone would have come running up.
08:28We have to see how well he knows everything else.
08:29Hello.
08:30Hello.
08:31Hello.
08:32Hi.
08:34Harry.
08:35Oh Harry.
08:35Come on.
08:36Come on.
08:36Great to meet you.
08:37Right.
08:38Oh my god we're going to be here all day.
08:40Emily.
08:41Kate.
08:43Danny.
08:43David.
08:44Liam.
08:45Yes.
08:46Finally.
08:48They've done it.
08:49What's your name by the way?
08:50Oh.
08:50Parissa.
08:51Parissa.
08:52Hi.
08:52I'm Billy.
08:53Nice to meet you.
08:54Yeah.
08:55First impression.
08:55I'm thinking Billy's going to be one of the loud ones.
08:58I'm loving this gap.
08:59You can't wear a loud shirt and not be loud.
09:02I like yours.
09:03It's a giving Barbie.
09:04Better than Barbie.
09:05Oh my god yes.
09:06I think Parissa is very bold to present herself in a marshmallow-y pink dress.
09:12Hi.
09:13Nice to meet you.
09:14You look cool.
09:15Oh thank you.
09:22Right Em.
09:23We've had a chance to gather some first impressions.
09:25Let's turn it up a notch.
09:28You ready?
09:29Yeah.
09:29You?
09:30Course I am.
09:30Let's go.
09:42Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys.
09:46Oh!
09:47Look who's here!
09:50Hello.
09:51Hello.
09:54Welcome to our manor.
09:57It's like a national trust building, just without a trust.
10:02Now we've invited you here to play a game worth up to a hundred grand.
10:09I want the money.
10:10Yeah.
10:11In my head I've already spent it, so like I kind of need to win it.
10:15In this competition, you're going to need to figure out how smart your rivals are.
10:21You've had a chance to eyeball each other.
10:25So, right now, based on your first impression, who is the smartest person here?
10:36You must put yourselves in order of smartest to least smart.
10:43The smartest person this end.
10:46The least smart this end.
10:49Off you go.
10:52I am smart.
10:54We're all smart.
10:54I'm not a genius.
10:56We've got a really good general knowledge.
10:58I've had a lot of life experience.
11:00Billy is a sort of children's entertainer type.
11:02I suppose you wouldn't naturally think of him as somebody with a lot of intelligence.
11:07I know what I'm capable of.
11:09I know what my life skills are.
11:11The whole life skills thing puts us at a disadvantage.
11:14It's quite obvious Ella and I are the youngest here.
11:17I actually think I'm already kind of being underestimated.
11:20When it comes down to certain topics, we'll be the smartest.
11:23Right, exactly.
11:25I think the younger people are definitely in the firing line.
11:27You just have less knowledge when you're 20 than when you're 50.
11:30We don't know anything about each other.
11:32There was a really interesting study which found that height is correlated with IQ.
11:36Well, I'm screwed, Ben!
11:39Yeah.
11:39I think the height correlating to IQ is bolder.
11:43One thing.
11:44I feel like we need to start some voting system or something.
11:47Yeah.
11:47This sweet little bowl of fluff starts ordering people around.
11:51Parisa wouldn't boss me around.
11:52She'd have got put in her place if she'd have tried with me.
11:55John.
11:56OK.
11:56I go with John.
11:57I go for John too.
11:58For what, the smartest?
11:59Yeah.
12:01People judge you with a northern accent.
12:03Being older, having bingo wings.
12:05They think that people with better accents have gone to better schools.
12:09But the university of life should not be overlooked.
12:13Who's the least smart, do you think?
12:17It'd be a terrible mistake if you put me at the bottom, I can tell you that.
12:21I'm not necessarily the smartest, but I'm definitely not the thickest.
12:26I think the other players underestimate me.
12:29Because of all of the tattoos, the loud shirt, you think Yorkshireman.
12:34But there was no way I was putting myself right at that bottom end.
12:39I feel like I'm as clever as Harry, so I'm going to stand it.
12:42This is really revealing.
12:44I think the people who don't care to be called the least smart in the room are probably the smartest.
12:50Yeah.
12:51And we've got to get in line with this.
12:55Harry's gone to be the thickest all of a sudden.
13:00I'm very happy to just try and prove myself.
13:03You've just stand where you are.
13:03I'm just going to stand here.
13:05Move on.
13:05You move on.
13:17John, you're the smartest, apparently.
13:20So before we lock this in, does anyone want to swap positions?
13:27I should definitely be further up here.
13:29Omar, how do you feel about where you're stood?
13:35People doubt me because they see a guy from a single-parent family home,
13:39born on a council estate, as somebody that will underachieve.
13:43I feel like I should be stood over there and you'll find that later when you know more about me.
13:46I've literally built multiple businesses to make multi-six figures.
13:50If that doesn't require intelligence, then I don't know what does.
13:56Harry, the competition has barely begun and you've placed yourself at the bottom as the least intelligent.
14:02So you're going to need to prove yourself.
14:06Because during your stay, you'll be taking part in daily quizzes to build the prize pot.
14:13Up to £100,000.
14:16The better you collectively do, the more money one of you will win at the end.
14:22So you need to keep the strongest players in and eliminate the weakest.
14:30But there's a twist.
14:33Every quiz is played in secret.
14:36You won't know how each player has performed.
14:39You'll only have their word for it.
14:42Oh.
14:43In the valuation room, at the end of each day,
14:47if you fail to identify the player who has earned the least,
14:51the prize pot will be halved.
14:56How you separate the higher flyers from the blatant liars is up to you.
15:04Harry, was it the right move declaring yourself the least smart?
15:08I think Harry thinks he's being quite clever by putting himself at the end.
15:13But in this game, you can't afford to be seen to be the least smart.
15:19It's time to take things seriously.
15:22There is £100,000 at stake.
15:25Don't let them take you for a fall.
15:34That was brutal.
15:35Yeah, it was brutal.
15:37I'm like, I don't care whether people think I'm the smartest person.
15:40But then I was like, oh no, this might be a mistake.
15:42This might be no good deed goes up and punish.
15:45Billy, please head to the quiz pod.
15:59Right.
16:00Time for our first quiz.
16:01And the first lamb to the slaughter is Billy.
16:05Ooh.

18:57I'll have that.
18:58I'll take that.
19:01Billy's smarter than he looks, but how's he going to play this?
19:05You can now head back to your fellow players.
19:08What you choose to say or not say about your score is up to you.
19:11But everything else that happens in Quizpod stays in Quizpod.
19:26I think I did all right, but I know I could do better.
19:28They're going to ask me how did it go.
19:32I am going to embellish.
19:35Hey. Hello.
19:38How did that go for you?
19:40I got 14.
19:432,800.
19:44Well done.
19:45Nice.
19:47Because it's two minutes, it's not a long time.
19:51Billy seems weirdly confident.
19:54I love a good quiz.
19:56It's very early days for me to be doubting him, but it does seem a little suspicious.
20:07Would you say, like, you are, like, school smart? Like...
20:10The thing is, it depends what you define as smart.
20:13I know, that's the same.
20:15Omar, please head to the Quizpod.

20:36Oh, my God.
20:41John, if you could take a seat for me. I'd like to see your face, not your crotch.
20:50Sit yourself down, John.
20:51There you go, mate.
20:53This is going to be absolutely no good for me.
20:56Welcome to my secret Quizpod.
20:58Let's get to it.
21:00Putting myself as the least smart in the room maybe puts a target on my back, and so I've got
21:04to get as much as possible because I would really like not to go home.
21:08Let's see how they get on, eh?
21:10Three, two, one, go.

22:33The quiz is now over.
22:35Dear, dear.
22:36That was fast.
22:38Fuck!
22:39Did I say Benadol?
22:40Oh, no.
22:42In today's quiz, you answered 12 questions correctly.
22:45£2,400 has been added to the prize pot.
22:48I'll take that.
22:49You answered 11 correctly.
22:51You answered 8 correctly.
22:537 questions correctly.
22:556 questions correctly.
22:565 questions correctly.
22:59Omar.
23:00You answered 4 questions correctly.
23:03£800 has been added to the prize pot.
23:07OK.
23:09That was appalling.
23:11What you choose to say or not say about your score is up to you.
23:15But everything else that happens in the pod...
23:18Stays in the pod.
23:19...stays in the pod.
23:20From here, you need to figure out who contributed the least.
23:24And if you did badly, do you have the nerve to walk back into that group and lie to their
23:29faces?
23:29I'll say I got 10.
23:30I lost two runs.
23:32This isn't a little bit embarrassing.
23:34This is massively embarrassing.
23:35Do you really think I'm going to go back in there and say, done well, guys.
23:38I've got four.
23:41Guess we're out of here.
23:42I am feeling super nervous.
23:44It wasn't my best.
23:45Can't lie.
23:46I'm going to keep it vague.
23:47I'm just going to find out how everyone else did.
23:50I'm going to up play the way that I've done because there's multiple ways to play the game.
23:55Unfortunately, I'm going to have to play the game the way that I didn't want to play the game.
23:58But, you know, sometimes you've got to do things you don't want to do.
24:08How was it?
24:09Yeah, OK. Not as bad as I thought.
24:11Good.
24:11I was pleasantly surprised by those questions.
24:13They were OK.
24:14So was I.
24:14Yeah.
24:15I actually felt like I'd done really well.
24:17I enjoyed it.
24:21I must admit I exceeded my expectations.
24:25With every quiz is like that, I'm laughing.
24:29How was it?
24:29Yeah.
24:29It was good.
24:30It was pretty scary though.
24:31How do you think you're doing?
24:32I got 10.
24:33OK.
24:36Yeah.
24:37I will not be telling the truth.
24:39I am playing the people game more than the academic game.
24:43So, yeah.
24:44I wouldn't say I like telling lies, but if needs be, needs be.
24:5010 is actually really good.
24:52There must be some money going in that part now.
24:54Every time it was going green, I was like, yes!
24:56Yes!
24:57Money!
24:57Yeah.
24:58Yeah.
24:59This is not going anywhere.
25:00This is our little truth circle.
25:02Yeah.
25:02I feel like Billy could be upplaying his intelligence.
25:06He was giving it all Billy big bollocks.
25:09I'm so smart.
25:10I would vote Omar or Billy.
25:13Yeah.
25:13You also vote?
25:14Yeah.
25:19I got £2,200.
25:23It's 11 questions.
25:24Well done.
25:25I'm not the best liar anyway, but I think honesty is the way to get through this competition.
25:30And I straight away revealed my number.
25:32I'm pretty pleased.
25:33I think it was pretty good.
25:35Do you have a favourite general knowledge topic?
25:3719th and 20th century history would be one.
25:40Yeah.
25:41I got six right.
25:42As an Englishman, I would try to play with a straight bat.
25:46I'm not in the business of deceit or trickery.
25:49But on the other hand, I feel no need to reveal figures until it is required to do so.
25:56I think we're hyping John up too much.
25:58Can somebody who dresses like that and talks like that not be smart?
26:05But Omar is a salesman.
26:06He gives that kind of sketchy car salesman vibe.
26:11Wait, do we know he's a car salesman?
26:13No, but we've just...
26:14He gives a vibe.
26:18Omar's three-piece suit, the slick back hair, I think it's a cover-up for the lack of intelligence.
26:25So if we don't vote for the weakest, the prize pot gets halved.
26:30So he's got to go.
26:41What do you make of Parisa and John?
26:45They need to do well in the challenge.
26:47And use it to hide how badly they did in the quiz.
26:51Omar didn't do very well.
26:52He's the one they need to catch.
26:54I wonder how this is going to go.
27:03Oh, I don't like the look of this.
27:07Oh, there's massage seats.
27:09I mean, I wouldn't mind a little deep tissue.
27:11First group challenge, I am desperate to show everyone that I am intelligent.
27:16There's no point doing well in the quiz if nobody believes you in the group.
27:21Welcome to our spa, where relaxation is cancelled.
27:27Today is all about general knowledge.
27:30Well, nothing helps general knowledge like a good memory.
27:34And that is what we're testing here.
27:37And muscle memory.
27:40And there's no hiding here, as unlike the quiz, this challenge plays out in plain sight.
27:47You will be lying face down on these massage beds.
27:50But just inches below your heads will run a number of objects.
27:55You have one job.
27:57Remember all of them.
28:00Once the carousel stops, you'll be asked questions based on the order of objects that you've just seen.
28:07Now, everyone is watching.
28:11Use this opportunity to assess your rivals.
28:15Looking weak could put you at risk of elimination.
28:19And out of the running to win that £100,000.
28:24And there's a significant advantage for the winner of today's challenge.
28:28In the valuation later, your vote will count double.
28:36We all want to win £100,000.
28:40And I want that double vote in my sweaty little palms.
28:48Good luck.
28:51After putting myself at the bottom of the pile in the line-up,
28:54I've got everything to prove.
28:56I need to show that I have value.
28:59I'm really nervous because I need to prove myself after that not-so-good pod quiz.
29:04I do not want to be seen as the weakest.
29:07Bring in the masseuses.
29:10Oh, God.
29:11Mm-hmm.
29:12OK, you bastards.
29:15I am a makeup influencer, but also I have two degrees, and one of them is a master of science
29:20in psychology.
29:21I think the smart individuals are the ones that are going to observe behaviour.
29:26That's my skill, and that's what I'm going to do today.
29:29Crank up the carousel.
29:35I don't like this.
29:38First up, we have rollerblades, a typewriter, a teddy bear, a toaster.
29:48God, that reminds me I need to clean my toaster.
29:51Ukulele, a canteen of cutlery, a pair of binoculars.
29:57Concentration, ladies and gentlemen, concentration.
30:00A camcorder, a porcelain dog, and finally a disco ball.
30:08The carousel has ceased.
30:11Question one.
30:13What was the fifth item on the carousel?
30:17Was it A, the ukulele, B, a teddy bear, or C, binoculars?
30:25Stand behind the plinth you think was the fifth item.
30:31Go.
30:33My plan's to demonstrate that I'm not a follower, I'm a leader.
30:38Omar sort of led the packet.
30:40Who wants to be a follower?
30:41Who wants to live a mundane life?
30:43I'd rather that on my sword.
30:45Interesting.
30:46The barista's gone to any bear.
30:47Adam and John.
30:48John's having a mooch.
30:50Decision's made.
30:52The answer is...
30:56The ukulele, ladies and gentlemen.
30:58It's in there.
31:00I was very confident that I got it right.
31:03But I got it wrong.
31:05This is not how I wanted it to start.
31:08Question two.
31:10Out of these three items,
31:12which travelled first on the carousel?
31:15Gone.
31:16He was straight there, look.
31:18Giving it the big one.
31:19Harry's having a little mooch over to the typewriter.
31:22Oh, this is interesting.
31:24Harry, are you certain?
31:26I'm in my mind palace.
31:28I can visualise it and I'm happy with it.
31:30Danny, have you got a mind palace?
31:32There's a dungeon in my mind palace.
31:35The correct answer is C, typewriter.
31:38Ah!
31:40Well done, guys.
31:42I don't think memory's my forte,
31:43but basically you go round your house
31:46and in each room you put these items
31:48and you make them kind of crazy.
31:50So the dog at one point was having a shower.
31:53And the weirder it is, the easier it is to stick in your mind.
31:56Things are going to crank up a gear.
31:58The carousel is going to be going faster.
32:01Whoa.
32:02And we've added a load more items,
32:04so get back on your beds
32:07and chuck your nuts in them holes.
32:11It's tough out here.
32:12To be fair, I'm just going to keep following people again.
32:17Start the carousel!
32:19Ooh, time's two speed!
32:34A couple of jugs.
32:37I used to put lemons down my top.
32:40It's like I've got lemons.
32:42What a shame.
32:46The carousel is finished.
32:48What was the eleventh item on the carousel?
32:52Go.
32:53I don't remember seeing the binoculars.
32:56Uh-huh-huh.
32:59Hi, I'm going to go here.
33:01I hate to say it,
33:03but I feel like there are a few followers here.
33:05John and Ella.
33:06Also Jackie, I feel, was being a bit of a sheep.
33:09The correct answer is...
33:11Binoculars.
33:12Binoculars.
33:13Yeah, I guess.
33:15Interesting.
33:17Omar, you got a question wrong.
33:19He keeps bigging himself up a lot and not matching it.
33:22I'm not buying it.
33:24Which item from round one is missing gold?
33:28It is a lot easier to remember what's not there.
33:31The answer is...
33:33Rollerblades.
33:34Yeah.
33:36All I'm going to say...
33:39Is that there are a lot of followers.
33:43Is that, like, got a little...
33:44That's all I'm saying.
33:45...hint of jealousy to it?
33:46OK.
33:47Just a lot of followers.
33:48I've never followed anybody in my life
33:49and I'm not going to start doing that.
33:51Period, Jackie.
33:52Tell them.
33:53It's absolutely annoying that she's suggesting that I'm a sheep,
33:56when really it's her that's following everybody else.
34:01Final question.
34:04Out of these three items...
34:08...which travelled first?
34:09Go on. On your way.
34:11I said you remembered it.
34:11Yeah.
34:15I don't really think it was so long.
34:19Get your niece to go where you got if you're second guessing then.
34:22I know what I need to do, don't worry.
34:26The correct answer is...
34:28Gnome.
34:29Yay!
34:33Lo and behold, when it came to the last one, Parisa followed the crowd.
34:38I'm fuming.
34:42Players, that is the end of the game.
34:45In last place, we have...
34:49...Parisa.
34:51And Sonia.
34:55No one wants to be at the bottom.
34:57I did not want to be at the bottom.
34:59I'm panicking.
35:00And coming out on top...
35:03Ella.
35:04Harry.
35:07And...
35:09During that challenge, I do feel like there was eyes on me.
35:11I'm just annoyed that I wasn't able to really separate myself from the pack
35:15and now I am on edge.
35:16But there can only be one winner.
35:19So we move to a tiebreaker to decide who gets that double vote.
35:25Going into the first valuation, just having that extra little bit of power
35:29would probably make you untouchable.
35:31Here's a chance to show that I'm not an idiot.
35:34I need to win.
35:37The big question.
35:39From the last round, what place number did the lemons travel on the carousel?
35:48I've made it into the tiebreaker.
35:50This is very good for my game plan, coming across as a mature, intelligent Ella.
35:55And I really want this double vote.
36:01Harry, please reveal your board.
36:0512.
36:08Melissa.
36:10And it's a 13.
36:12Ooh.
36:13And Ella.
36:16Also a 13.
36:17Ooh.
36:20The correct answer.
36:25The answer is 12 and the winner is Harry.
36:28Yay!
36:29Good job, Harry.
36:31Congratulations, Harry.
36:35I've won.
36:36Which means that people no longer think I'm the stupidest.
36:39But it comes with this double vote.
36:41Which does give me a big responsibility.
36:44Going off your truck, going a lot of you.
36:46I do think Harry is clever, but I don't think he's as clever as he think he is.
36:50He does now have a double vote.
36:52And I am hoping that he doesn't have his eyes on me.
36:57Shut the door behind you.
36:59What's your voting about?
37:02Is anyone shocked by anyone's performance?
37:06It's just somebody's mini outburst.
37:09Parisa's comment did annoy me.
37:12It's like biting back.
37:13Yeah.
37:15Parisa should be worried about the elimination.
37:17She came last in the challenge and called the rest of us all sheep.
37:22You stuck to your guts.
37:23I stuck to my guts.
37:24At least we stuck to our guts, right?
37:28I was quite impressed actually.
37:30I feel like everyone done well.
37:32Yeah, I think they did.
37:33I feel like it would have been nice to have seen the quiz live because I smashed that.
37:43I'm not buying it.
37:45He bigs himself up too much.
37:47Yeah.
37:47He didn't get that one.
37:50We need to be certain who's put the least into that prize pot.
37:54If we fail, the money that we all worked so hard to build can be halved.
38:00This is harder than I thought it would be.
38:05The clock is ticking.
38:07Someone's time will soon be up.
38:10Now our players must evaluate just how smart they think their rivals actually are.
38:16And crucially, who's the weakest player?
38:23There's a lot at stake having the double vote.
38:25It is a lot of responsibility.
38:27So I'm going to have to be on the lookout to identify the weakest and vote them out.
38:32Because I do not want that prize pot to get smaller.
38:36I'm confident in my strategy.
38:39Bring it on.
38:42I'm shitting myself knowing I've only got 800.
38:45I am going to have to lie.
38:47All I care about is just staying in and not going home.
38:50No one wants to be the first out.
39:03It's time for the valuation.
39:07Cash has been earned.
39:09Puzzle solved.
39:11But now you need to root out the weakest player amongst you.
39:14Nine of you will still be in with a chance of winning a hundred thousand pounds.
39:20And one of you will be given the Spanish archer.
39:24Elbowed.
39:26Today, you have made first impressions.
39:28But now it's time to make some value judgements.
39:34In front of you is a card.
39:37On it is a reminder of the amount you individually earned in Quiz Pod.
39:42Now, one by one, we're going to ask you to take a peek at your card.
39:46But don't show anyone.
39:48Now, whether you choose to reveal the truth or not is up to you.
39:53Decide on your tactics because soon we will ask you to vote who you think contributed the least to the
40:00prize pot.
40:03Get it right and your prize pot is safe.
40:07However, if you fail to identify the correct player, the pot will be halved.
40:15Half the readies. You've got to get it right.
40:23Starting with you, Harry.
40:25Look at your card.
40:27Make sure no one else can see what's on it.
40:30And tell the group what you contributed to the prize pot.
40:38I contributed £2,200.
40:45Sonia?
40:48I contributed £2,400 to the pot.
40:55Jacky?
40:59I contributed £2,400.
41:08Ella?
41:13I contributed £2,000 to the pot.
41:21Omar, could you please reveal what you contributed to the pot?
41:31I contributed £2,800 to the pot.
41:40And Billy?
41:45I contributed £2,800 to the pot.
41:50And Billy?
41:54Melissa?
41:57I contributed £2,400 to the pot.
42:03Harissa?
42:09I contributed £2,200 to the pot.
42:17Kamal?
42:24I contributed £2,200 to the pot.
42:30I contributed £2,200 to the pot.
42:33I contributed £2,200 to the pot.
42:46I contributed £2,200 to the pot.
42:47Jon coming in with the lowest declared score of £1,200.
42:52So that's what you all claim to have individually earned.
42:56But do the numbers add up?
42:58The winnings you have just declared add up to £21,600.
43:07I can reveal the total amount won in Quiz Pod is actually...
43:19£16,600.
43:21No way.
43:24That's a lot of lying.
43:25I should have lied about my number.
43:27That's a way bigger discrepancy than I thought it'd be.
43:31Five grand difference.
43:34Dice significant.
43:36Well, well, well.
43:38Looks like some of you, maybe all of you, are telling porcupines.
43:45So bad.
43:48Now, before you vote, we're going to give you one last chance to interrogate each other.
43:55I feel like the difference in number, I think we can all agree, is definitely shocking.
44:03I'm well astonished that there's so much lying going on.
44:06I'm baffled.
44:09I've come into this, tried to be honest and an open book, so it's kind of frustrating.
44:16If there was one person who added loads, I wish we could find them.
44:20Well, it's a mathematical certainty it's more than one person.
44:23Yeah.
44:24Unless somebody's really inflated, the law of averages is...
44:26Taking the piss and I got £800 or something.
44:28You're talking maybe 50% or more of the people around this table have manipulated their figure.
44:37Who scored the highest?
44:39I did.
44:402.8 grand.
44:41Who were 2.8?
44:42Yeah.
44:45Why would I lie about getting such a high number?
44:48I know, but we're all going to say that, aren't we?
44:50Well, I would rather have gone in low.
44:52Of course, yeah, I'm not pointing fingers at you.
44:55I kind of wish I hadn't, yeah.
45:01Right now, it's clear that there's lying happening somewhere.
45:05This is a conversation about who ultimately contributed the least, right?
45:09Well, right now, the least is 1,200, respectfully, right?
45:12Yes.
45:13So, we're starting with a benchmark, a floor of six questions.
45:18John, you know that's not me coming at you, John. You know that.
45:21I'm at the bottom of the pile.
45:23There's no real reason why I'd want to tell porcupines on that.
45:27I am where I am, and I'm pretty satisfied.
45:30Had a good day.
45:31Aw. Same here, mate.
45:33I really appreciate you, because I can tell that you're being honest about your number.
45:38Like, we don't know if anyone's got lower.
45:40Do we reward that honesty?
45:44It all depends if we have any suspicions if anyone's going lower.
45:51Let's assume John is telling the truth.
45:54In which case, do we think that Omar added on more than four?
46:03What did you say you had?
46:04I got the whole number, 1,800.
46:0618.
46:07So why would I lie when all of you have gone before me?
46:12And Harry, why did you target Omar?
46:14Oh, because he's the next one up.
46:19I'm going with my opinion anyway.
46:21I'm actually going with who I feel like is the least smartest, irrespective of these numbers.
46:25Irrespective of the quiz.
46:27The reality is, the numbers are what's going to hold up or ruin the pot.
46:33In which case, our reported numbers are the best thing to go on.
46:37We don't vote just on the pot, though.
46:39We're voting on the whole day.
46:42And what we witnessed today.
46:44It all comes into it.
46:46100%.
46:47Even conversations we've all had with each other, everything needs to be in consideration.
46:50Yeah, yeah, I completely agree.
46:51I think who is, like, leading and who's not.
46:57Okay, I'm going to do it.
46:58Marissa, it really pissed me off that when you were losing, you attacked us all and compared us all to
47:05sheep.
47:08And then proceeded for the rest of the game to follow the majority.
47:15Billy, Billy, look, if you think I did that, like, that is quite comedic and laughable.
47:21You definitely made a comment and called us out.
47:23I didn't say sheep.
47:24She said some people are following.
47:26You had a bit of a hissy fit about people following.
47:30And then at the end, you then went where the majority went.
47:34Jackie, I just said, oh, I feel there's a few followers and you bit at me straight away.
47:38Because I've never followed anybody.
47:40Ever.
47:41If you think that, it's your opinion.
47:44We can't risk losing half of the money right now.
47:47We do just have to be honest.
47:48We've, we've...
47:49Why are you answering?
47:51No, why are you answering?
47:52Well, because I feel like you're all ganging up on that.
47:54Well, that's enough of that.
47:56Breathe.
47:59Ladies and gentlemen, it's time to put names to your opinions.
48:05Which player do you think has contributed the least value to the prize pot?
48:11Get it wrong, and today's £16,600 prize pot will be halved.
48:16And remember, Harry's vote will count as double.
48:26So, your decisions are made.
48:29Time to reveal them to the group.
48:34Let's start with Kamal.
48:36I know people are approaching the vote with two different schools of thought.
48:40But I'm trying to focus on the money in front of us and the prize pot.
48:44So, the person I'm voting for is...
48:52John.
48:55I'm so sorry, man.
48:59Who is sir?
49:02The person I am voting today is...
49:06It's John. I'm so sorry.
49:14John, you're next.
49:16Well, I think there is an element of pay inflation, perhaps, around the table, to put it mildly.
49:25The person that I will choose is...
49:31Marissa.
49:36Melissa.
49:37The reason I'm voting for this person is, mathematically, we can't possibly all have done as badly as him.
49:43And I wish he had lied, because clearly, almost everyone else around this table has.
49:48The person I believe contributed least is John.
49:55Sorry.
49:57So, that is three votes for John and one vote for Parissa.
50:02Billy.
50:04Based upon what I saw in today's challenge, the person I'm voting for is...
50:12Parissa.
50:14Obviously.
50:18Jackie.
50:19The person I'm voting for today is because I think they've come in here and fabricated a set of lies
50:26around them.
50:27They're trying to play the game, but it's unsustainable.
50:31And that person is...
50:35Parissa.
50:40So, that's three votes for Parissa and three votes for John.
50:45Omar.
50:47The person that I feel like contributed the least, unfortunately, is...
50:55It's going to be John. Sorry, man.
50:58Fucking sorry.
51:02Ella, who did you vote for?
51:06It may be a shock to this person, but I am sorry.
51:12The player I have voted for is...
51:17Parissa.
51:21I am a bit shocked with Ella.
51:23I thought we would look after each other in the valuation room.
51:26She's definitely here to play a game.
51:30We're at four all.
51:32Sonya, who gets your vote?
51:36The person I have voted is...
51:43Parissa.
51:47That's five votes for Parissa and four votes for John.
51:51So, Harry, your double vote decides it.
51:57If people really just vote on who they suspect has put in the least amount of money, then I'm in
52:04trouble.
52:04I'm not inflating my numbers, telling porky pies, but only time will tell if this strategy works.
52:12I am so annoyed that there's clearly been so much lying.
52:21Genuinely and with complete regret.
52:24The person I'm voting is...
52:27The person I'm voting is...
52:28The person I'm voting is...
52:54I've been judged the worst player here.
52:57I think this random target that I just got definitely kind of impacted it.
53:02You said you'd won £2,200.
53:05Can you please now reveal if that was true?
53:15I contributed £1,000.
53:17Oh, wow!
53:19Yes!
53:20You had me going, you know, I thought you had that number.
53:23See you were lying.
53:24Yeah.
53:25I was acting.
53:26I wish I got that interest on my bank account.
53:29Billy, I don't really want to converse with you.
53:32Fair enough.
53:33I don't feel like I need to give you that time anymore.
53:36Now, before you go, let's find out the truth.
53:40Have you found the actual weakest player?
53:44I can reveal...
53:47Parisa, you are not the worst player here.
53:53What?
53:57You're kidding.
53:59That's crazy.
54:01Now it's getting interesting, huh?
54:04That decision has just cost you...
54:10£8,300.
54:12Parisa, please leave the valuation room.
54:15Deuces.
54:17See you later, Parisa.
54:19Watch out who the big player is!
54:21Because it ain't me!
54:27Oh, dear.
54:29Oh, dear.
54:30At least one of you did worse than Parisa.
54:32But managed to pull the wool over all your eyes.
54:38Have a good look around.
54:39Who's been lying to you?
54:43I managed to get away with it.
54:45At the moment, I would definitely say I'm flying under the radar.
54:47I am feeling absolutely fantastic.
54:58Release the balls!
55:00What E can denote a moment of sudden insight or understanding?
55:05Uh, epiphany.
55:06Come on!
55:08The stakes are very, very high now.
55:12What the fuck?
55:13Who is a dominatrix?
55:16Oh!
55:18You answered one question correctly.
55:20It was easier than yesterday.
55:22100%.
55:24I'm leaning towards Omar.
55:26Yeah.
55:26I think he scored the worst in the pods.
55:29Yeah.
55:29Ella has been driving a campaign against you.
55:31If you want to start getting personal, then the gloves are off.
