**[0:00]:** I put 100 people inside of a giant circle and whoever leaves the circle last wins $500,000. But if you touch the red line, it's game over. I don't care how long this takes. Whichever one of you leaves last wins half a million dollars. $500,000 Oh, I cleared my schedule. I am literally good for next 3 weeks. I don't know how long it takes, weeks, months, it doesn't matter. How long are you staying in this circle? Well, I took off work until January 1st. You took off work for the next 6 months? Literally 100 people this place is packed. They brought grass down. The possibilities are endless. There's only one smart thing to do. Should begin the hibernating process. This guy right here is already thinking about getting out. He might be our first loser. To be honest, there's 100 people here. I'm not going to win.

**[0:48]:** What's the point? Hey everybody, this guy just said HE WANTS TO GET OUT. Let's see it.

**[0:56]:** He's over playing this so much. JUST STEP OUT. EVEN THOUGH YOU GOT OUT FIRST, I still have a prize for you. Just wait here. Congratulations, you just won a brand new car for being first out. Who would have thought being a loser would pay off? Someone just left? Honestly, I knew he'd be first. I smelled the weakness from the beginning. Massive morale boost. If everyone's weak like that, they're going to be gone in no time. Time to update the board. 99 remain. Good luck. Knowing they could win a random prize definitely wore a few people down. And after a couple of hours, things got a little emotional. This is going to change my life. Tomorrow, I'm going to take a lot of this and pay my bills. Thank you so much. I was not expecting that. She's got me about to cry. I can't wait to see how the person that wins the half a million dollars at the end of the video reacts.

**[1:41]:** We're about to raise the stakes. I hope you guys like filet mignon cuz we got you ALL A STEAK. THEY SENT THE FILET MIGNONS. SHE'S NOW JUST CASUALLY eating a steak and a pile of money. If they're going to be feeding us like this, I could be here like for the rest of the year. It's now night time of the first day and 94 people are still in this. Little do they know I have something in store for them in the morning. Now it's time I introduce the twist. At the end of each day, we're going to shrink the circle a little bit.

**[2:08]:** We're going to bring the new line to Is that good? I'll do a little bit more. All right, I'll go ahead and start filling it in. Nope. When the camera cuts, someone else will do it. After seeing the new circle, a few people started to crack. Woah, woah, Chandler, Chandler. So, you're going to play him in rock, paper, scissors and if you lose, you'll get out. Are you kidding? Rock, PAPER, SCISSORS, SHOOT. IMAGINE LOSING $500,000 on a single game of rock, paper, scissors. That was THE DUMBEST THING EVER. THERE WAS NO UPSIDE. THEY JUST WOULDN'T stop getting out one after another. It seems like two days in a circle is most people's limit. There's someone sleeping on a cereal box. It's getting interesting. It's night time of the second day and Carl decided to start some trouble. One second.

**[2:56]:** I think I just watched one of the guys reach over the line. No way. Oh, hey. That's half a million dollars worth of fruit snacks right there. I don't know who threw the gummies. Not only have the contestants spent three days in that circle, but we've spent three days living here. I'm not sleeping in that RV. Morale's getting a little low. Hopefully breakfast is something a little bit better than oatmeal. Boredom's starting to set in. I don't like oatmeal. It tastes like wet cardboard. So, this is pretty rough, to be honest. The circle's going to shrink again. Not looking forward to that. It's the start of the third day, so we got TO SHRINK THE CIRCLE AGAIN. WAIT, WAIT, WAIT. Are you Are you serious? OH, NO. GIVE ME THAT. I'M NOT LETTING CHANDLER DO THIS AGAIN. CHANDLER MADE THIS line so long. This is kind of boring.

**[3:40]:** Now the circle is fully painted and as you can see, we took a lot of space out of this circle. And while we were painting it, throughout this challenge, we realized that if we give people things to do, they'll occasionally mess up and touch the line, which is exactly why we put this soccer goal here to see if we can get SOME PEOPLE OUT. I'M CROSSING MY FINGERS. I'M CROSSING my fingers. If you stepped on IT RIGHT THERE. THE SOCCER GOAL WORKED. IT'S A STARTER day number four, so we got to shrink the circle again. Chandler, I'm going to trust you.

**[4:18]:** This is like three more feet. I'll see you when it's done. And there you go. It literally took two seconds to fill IN THE LINE. IT'S LIKE MAGIC. YOU'RE LYING. It's been a few hours since someone got out. Carl I know what I need to do. I wanted to give you guys music to listen to.

**[4:43]:** It's just a 10-hour loop. Does that make anyone want to get out? This is music to my ears because I press snooze. Every time. Do you think anybody's going to leave because of this? I don't think anybody's going to leave because of this. So you are saying you would get out for a brand new iPhone? Yeah, I need a new phone badly. Here you go. Now that she's out, we're going to keep playing that. They didn't like the phone alarm sound, so now I'm playing men screaming for 10 hours.

**[5:15]:** Hey Carl. Hello there.

**[5:36]:** It's just a fever dream now. Everyone wakes up screaming. I feel alive. Slowing down a little bit, but I'm going to try to keep going. All right, everybody. You know what time it is. We got to shrink the circle. Right there. Jump cut. Boom. I can move now. The circle keeps getting smaller and people are dropping like flies. Halfway done.

**[6:05]:** Bro, grass ball has taken over my entire mental capacity. It's all I can think about. I'm losing brain cells by the second. I just lost 10. We started day six like usual by shrinking the circle. Since they want me to take a lot, I'm just going to take a little bit. And then I made a mistake by putting Nolan in charge. If anybody's butt EVEN TOUCHES A BLADE OF GRASS, you're out. It's been five seconds and he's already instigating. New rule. NO MAKING FUN OF NOLAN. THE standing challenge got one contestant out. Sorry, bro. Simon says hit yourself in the face. Simon says do a push-up. I can't do a push-up without my stomach touching the ground, so I'm not doing it. All right, just don't do it then. Your knee touch? Unfortunately, your knee did touch the ground. Here's your $1,000. I have so much power.

**[6:51]:** Is this WHAT JIMMY FEELS LIKE? DO YOU ALL KNOW WHY THE PARTY LIGHTS are on? BECAUSE YOU SURVIVED AN ENTIRE WEEK INSIDE OF THE CIRCLE.

**[7:02]:** TO CELEBRATE AN ENTIRE WEEK inside of this circle, I decided to give them a challenge with a Tesla as a prize. WHO WANTS A TESLA? THE BOYS ARE ROLLING out a special tarp. Starting now, all of you can walk on this thing right here. If you can ride this and touch the Tesla without touching the ground, I'll let you keep it. Wait, you're not doing it? I'M JUST SCARED, BRO. OKAY. OH, he's going to run. All right, everybody back up. Let's see this. He's running. HE'S RUNNING.

**[7:30]:** IS THAT IT? IS THIS IT? THEY'RE LITERALLY ENGINEERING A TEAM TO WIN THIS man a Tesla. All right. He's on the tire. They're about to launch it. No. OH. OH NO. DID HE STEP OUT? OKAY, EVERYONE TIME OUT. We got to review footage. We'll be right back. Unfortunately, Corey definitely stepped on the line. Get rid of the style star. Give him $5,000. Thank you for putting others above yourself. Then finally, with the help of a rack to give him momentum, Jack did the unthinkable.

**[8:07]:** Oh, IS THAT IT? HE GOT IT. GET OUT OF IT. LET ME SEE WHAT YOU THINK. OH MY GOD. Look at him. I'm going to throw up in my own car. We had to help. Guy just want to tell you I'm incredibly proud. It's unbelievable. Before I brought the Tesla in, we had 36 people. Now we're down to 32. The numbers are dwindling. It's day eight and we needed to do something different. So we split the contestants up by their shirt colors into quadrants. Today is day number eight and so far no one's gotten out. So I made this mystery wheel because we need to get some people out. Who wants to spin it? Hey yo, I'll spin it. SPIN IT HARD THOUGH. NOT no like half spin. That's exactly what I was looking for. OH. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU JUST won $3,000. He just spun and won three grand and he's going again.

**[8:58]:** Davis, go for it. All right, let's see it. Oh. Oh. He found an infinite money glitch. OH. OH. HOW DOES HE KEEP DOING THIS? JIMMY CAME OUT SAYING we got to get people out and David is rocking three briefcases. I just don't think that could have gone any worse. It's day nine and we lost another person during the evening. But then something happened that I never would have expected.

**[9:29]:** Oh my god.

**[9:37]:** Did you guys see that coming? No. Let's give it UP FOR THEM. SOUNDS LIKE WE NEED TO GET a briefcase for $10,000 to go TOWARDS THE WEDDING.

**[9:50]:** I'VE BEEN IN A CIRCLE FOR THE PAST 9 days, but I could not be happier. Now it's time for a very important message. We were too lazy to write the other half, but you should still subscribe. Are you guys subscribed? That's exactly why they're here. Hit the button you could be in a video. Woo! And now it's time to shrink the circle for the day. Or instead of shrinking the circle, we're expanding the line. But now it's time we introduce the difficult part. Earlier I asked them to pair up, and now we're going to be duct taping the pairs together for the day. For the rest of the day you can also no longer sit down. Day nine, and guess what they did to us. Let's go. Forever together. Forever for Together forever. How you feeling? I don't really like my partner that much, so it's going to be kind of hard.

**[10:36]:** is awkward. Earlier when I was explaining the rules, this happened. And I have the replay right here, and as you can see, he stepped on the line. Neil, man. First he loses a Lamborghini and now half a million dollars. Neil, buddy. I pulled up the footage, it's on the line. I'm sorry, Neil. All right. Guess I'll take ONE MORE LAP. HERE'S $2,000. WHAT'S WRONG? WE'VE been final two this whole time from day one. Now I was hoping I'd be there with him at the end, but that's the game. I've never seen Akira this determined before. He looks like a man that's going to win this. Mark my words, that man is going to win this challenge. I promise you. Get it, Akira. Boys, put the balance beam on that quadrant. Bring it on over. Now. This is $10,000 in cash. I'm going to set it right here.

**[11:19]:** Any takers? 10 grand on the line. Don't think about how this took 9 days, and if you fall, IT'S ALL FOR NOTHING. LET'S SEE IF DAVID'S LUCK CONTINUES. I I by your stance you do gymnastics? I do, yeah. I can tell. You look very calm. Thank you. All right. All right. It's all you. It's wangling. It's waggling. Why did we let a gymnast in the circle? HE'S COUNTER BALANCING.

**[11:46]:** DAVID HAS SO FAR WON $19,000 without leaving the circle. If anyone else not named David wants to have a go, here's another $10,000. And he's off. Here's the bend. That's a good pivot. That's a good pivot. How is everyone just robbing me of money at the moment? I told you it was easy. Boys, boys, the balance beam's got to go. That did not go like I thought it would. Here is what the circle looked like at the start with 100 people inside. And this is what it looks like now on day nine with only 25 people.

**[12:15]:** By day 10, we decided to just mess up the circle completely. And at this point, our luckiest contestant, David, had a really strange request. You wanted your magic eight ball? I want to ask you if I should get out right now or if I should stick it through. Magic eight ball, should I leave the circle right now? Yes. Oh, boy. Indications say yes. Oh, it literally says yes. CONGRATULATIONS, YOU JUST WON ANOTHER FIVE grand on top of the 19 grand you won. Anyone else want to shake the magic eight ball? No, we're good. He's literally walking away with four briefcases of money. I'm just glad I could be part of it. I'm glad you had fun. BRING OUT THE THING. THE THING'S COMING. MAJORITY of the balloons have fun prizes. Some of the balloons have punishments. Punishments included being double blindfolded or having to wear a giant shoe.

**[13:01]:** Family, which one should I go for? That one. You have to do 100 push-ups before midnight. Yo, my bad. Other contestants got prizes. You just won a go-kart. NO, YOU ACTUALLY WON $2,000. Here you go. Some contestants had a little trouble with the balloons. Hey! Pillow and a blanket. I can finally sleep. OH, YOU'RE NOT WORSE THAN CLASSY. YEAH! YOU CAN HAVE GOLDFISH whenever you want. Who actually likes goldfish? I do. Bad luck. You got to tape your feet to someone until the morning. You have to sit on the tire swing until the morning. And now we are done with the balloon wall. That was fun. Woah. Remember, if you touch the ground, you're out. Sure, yes sir. We're going to put in that baby. We're going to get this. Wee. Another long night in the circle. Let's see how they're holding up. the my crib.

**[13:51]:** I hate it here. It's 6:00 a.m. You can take your shoe off. But I also have to take the blanket and pillow. No. I'm sorry. This is getting ridiculous. Not even the tire swing guy got out last night. We need to make things harder. There is 20 of you left and I have 20 little circles of grass. That's not that much room. Exactly. And all the remaining contestants have 10 seconds to get on one OF THEM. BOYS, FILL IN THE CIRCLE. Everyone that gets out in the next few minutes, I'll give you $10,000 in cash. If not, for the next 24 hours, we're dropping it down to two grand. We're not doing anything the rest of the night. We're not really doing much tomorrow. It's just standing. I'd take a deal now while you can. How many minutes we do we have? Like three or four.

**[14:37]:** Have fun. What an insane ultimatum. Nope. I ain't leaving. Are people going to step out for 10 or are people going to fight it out for 24 hours? We'll see. This offer is going to go away in 3 minutes. Been here so long. That's rough. That's rough. He's thinking about it. You throwing the PlayStation 5? For you, I'll throw in a PlayStation 5. All right. William just stepped out. William just stepped out. One step closer, guys. We just lost William to the $10,000 offer. The smile on his face is so big. These people are tougher than I thought. I wonder if any of them regret not taking the 10 grand. I just don't know if I could forgive myself if I took it. I should have taken 10,000. Not the smartest decision, but I'm not the smartest man. I wouldn't have left if you didn't throw the PS5 in.

**[15:21]:** That's fact. The only thing we can really do now is wait. Akira, you've been standing for 10 hours straight now. What's happening? I just can't take it anymore and I got to think about my future, so Good luck, everybody. Been standing for 18 hours. I'm not having fun anymore. Mentally, I'm still in it. Physically, I'm still in it. I just threw a whole bunch of cold water on myself. I just slapped myself like 20 times. I'm not going anywhere. All right, you guys see the line? Top. You see that blade of grass right there? I see that one. You got out literally by a single blade of grass. Oh, he's fallen.

**[16:00]:** And it's officially been 24 hours of standing. How are you liking your little island? It's pretty small. It's time to shrink them even more. Great. We got outlines of your feet. As you can see, it's barely bigger than his foot. Everyone, you have 10 seconds to get on them. We can just throw these away. We're trying to get them down to 10 contestants left. Hopefully, this offer scares the rest of them out so we can move on.

**[16:21]:** If anyone gets out in the next few minutes, I'll give you $10,001. You get an extra dollar for staying another day. OH, HE'S ALREADY OUT. OKAY, we got one taker. Oh, we got two takers. I almost dropped Akira. Oh, we got ANOTHER ONE. LET'S GO.

**[16:43]:** COME ON, BOY.

**[16:48]:** WE ARE NOW IN THE TOP 10 PEOPLE. YOU'D THINK SHE JUST WON THE HALF a million dollars. Look around, there are less than 10 people opposing you and half a million dollars. Good luck, one of you is winning this. I was dead tired before this. Top 10 now, I can do this for another two days. Closing in on the end of day 12 and it's time for me to show you guys why this question mark is here. Why is this question mark here? You're about to find out.
