00:00Welcome to Genius Game!

00:05Eleven exceptional players were invited to take part in Genius Game.

00:10I study economics and philosophy.

00:12I'm a prime writer.

00:13I applied for Gay Love Island, so I don't know what the hell I'm doing here.

00:16Each day, you will play in a main match and a death match.

00:20The main match is a group game.

00:22If you win it, you are safe as you will receive a token of life.

00:26And you get to choose another player to save.

00:28But if you lose, you will be the death match candidate.

00:32And you get to choose another player to be your opponent.

00:35The loser of that game will be going home.

00:39Ultimately, only one of you will win.

00:43Last time...

00:45In our first main match, Scott masterminded his way through the game.

00:49The three of us use our tip-offs to tip off Paul.

00:52Paul? Paul?

00:53Choosing Paul as the fall guy, putting him behind bars...

00:57Oh, no!

01:00...and ensuring him as the death match candidate.

01:03Paul confidently chose Pasha, which proved to be a mistake.

01:07Three, six, eight, collect three points.

01:10When she won and he became the first person to be eliminated.

01:13Sorry, Paul.

01:15With ten players left...

01:16Oh, my gosh.

01:17Who will be victorious today?

01:19Who will be victorious today?

01:20Who will be victorious today?

01:22Who will be victorious today?

01:23Who will be victorious today?

01:29First one's here.

01:42Back again.

01:44How do you feel?

01:45I'm nervous as hell. How do you feel?

01:48I'm good. You seem a bit less confident than yesterday.

01:51Yeah. Let the games begin.

01:54I'm very ready to play the game today.

01:55The first main match has really caused me to be paranoid.

01:59That's fine. It's to be expected.

02:01But hopefully people are a bit more upfront about it because I certainly plan to be.

02:06Hello.

02:08Oh my gosh.

02:10Yeah.

02:10How are you feeling?

02:11Excited. Yeah.

02:13I think I'm well suited as a competitor because I think logically I'm used to plotting.

02:20I'm quite pragmatic, a little bit cunning.

02:23Quite a few people say I come across as a bit dangerous because I'm always working out ways to kill people.

02:31Hello.

02:32Hello.

02:33The queen has arrived.

02:35Wait, me or him?

02:37I am 100% keen to stay out of the death match today and that's why I'm trying to formulate some really strong connections.

02:44I just want to make sure that I am on everyone's good books.

02:47Hi, guys.

02:49Hi.

02:50Hi.

02:50Hello.

02:51Hello.

02:52Hello.

02:52I just saw it.

02:54How are you guys doing?

02:55What do you think today's game might be?

02:58Last game.

02:59It was very Alliance heavy.

03:01So I think this one might be a bit more strategic.

03:05Academically, I've achieved quite a lot.

03:07I got into a private school on both academic and athletic scholarship.

03:10Achieved 11A stars in my GCSEs and graduated with a first in economics from the University of Manchester.

03:16A genius is someone who transcends expectations.

03:19My strategy for the game, play the rules and play the other players as well.

03:23Am I going to cause chaos?

03:24Yeah, 100%.

03:25I love the flower, by the way.

03:30Oh, thank you.

03:31I'm going to treat this as a new day completely.

03:33So let's start fresh, you know?

03:35Reset.

03:36I went on like a loose, like canon sort of vibe yesterday.

03:41I came into this day thinking that I really needed to let people see me in a better light.

03:46So today I'm going to focus on other people to get to know their core abilities.

03:51Hi.

03:52Oh, hello.

03:53Hello.

03:53Here we are.

03:54This is everybody.

03:55This is a little bit better.

03:56Come on, everybody.

03:57How are you doing, man?

03:58Hi.

03:59How are you feeling?

04:00It's sad not to see Paul here.

04:02Yeah.

04:03One man gone.

04:04So you were the mastermind, Scott.

04:05It was my plan.

04:07Well, we all contributed.

04:08Scott was the mastermind behind it.

04:10I went hard yesterday and quite big in my strategy.

04:14So I want to try and be a little more subtle today.

04:16I've formed quite good relationships with Vidalia, Ken and Charlotte.

04:20And they are all quite intimidating players.

04:22They're just exceptionally clever people.

04:24I teased him up.

04:25Pasha knocked him out of the park.

04:27Listen, that was all you.

04:29I think you were involved, Pasha.

04:30I don't even know what will happen.

04:31I think you can't be a genius unless you've had varied life experiences.

04:38I'm not your typical book smart.

04:41I'm people smart.

04:42I'm emotion smart.

04:44I'm the kind of smart that is willing to fail and start again.

04:49My strategy from the start of the game will be to work as a team as much as possible.

04:56I don't need to work something out myself if a friend of mine can do that.

05:01And that's what I'm going to be doing.

05:04Oh.

05:04OK.

05:06Hello.

05:07And welcome back to Genius Game.

05:11Allow yourselves a huge sigh of relief that you weren't the first to go.

05:14And now start panicking that you might be the second.

05:17Because that would also be pretty humiliating.

05:20Yeah.

05:21Now before we start today's game, let's see how many garnets you've gained so far.

05:26You have 15 garnets between you, each worth £1,000.

05:29So it wouldn't take a genius to work out that there is 15,000 in the prize pot so far.

05:35OK.

05:37OK.

05:38It's time for your main match where you may become the undead.

05:42But a warning.

05:43Make one grave mistake and this could become a real horror show.

05:47This is...

05:48Zombie Game.

05:49In this game, there are zombies and humans.

05:56The zombie's objective is to turn all the humans into zombies, whilst the humans try to avoid being turned.

06:03Players will secretly select a card to determine their roles.

06:06There will be two zombies and eight humans.

06:09The game will consist of three rounds, where players must touch with at least one other player.

06:14If a human touches a zombie, the human turns into a zombie.

06:18If two humans touch, both players will gain one point.

06:22If two zombies touch, nothing happens.

06:25Players may not touch with anyone more than once during the game.

06:29At the end of each round, the number of zombies and humans will be revealed.

06:33However, points gained and players' roles will remain unknown.

06:36If, at the end of the game, all players have been turned into zombies, the original zombies will win and choose a deathmatch candidate.

06:44If there are humans remaining, the human with the most points is the winner.

06:48And the human with the fewest points is the deathmatch candidate.

06:52If all remaining humans have equal points, they will be joint winners and may pick any zombie to be the deathmatch candidate.

06:59So it might be beneficial becoming a zombie.

07:02Yeah, because...

07:02Yeah.

07:03Because you can't become the deathmatch candidate.

07:05Unless...

07:06Humans tie.

07:07Humans tie.

07:08Players, there is one other thing.

07:10All players will also receive one zombie antidote.

07:14This can be drunk if a player suspects that they have touched with a zombie and wishes to remain human.

07:20The antidote has no effect on the original zombies.

07:23An additional antidote may be purchased for one garnet.

07:27Your fate is quite literally in each other's hands.

07:30So choose who you touch carefully.

07:33As before, any questions during the game, please ask one of the dealers.

07:37They are also the ones who will have the antidotes.

07:41Oh, I love this game.

07:43Oh, wow.

07:45Any strategies anyone wants to share?

07:47I have one, but I'm going to wait to see what I get.

07:50Yeah, I'm going to wait to see what I get.

07:51Yeah.

07:55This game is interesting.

07:56It's going to really depend on whether I start as a zombie or human.

08:01If you're human, either I have to go for maximum points or become a zombie.

08:06The worst thing to do is to become a low-scoring human.

08:15Would you say if you were a zombie, you would have a massive advantage if you could find the other zombie?

08:21Somehow.

08:21It would help.

08:22Players, please make your way to the dealer room to choose your identity.

08:27If I'm a zombie or a human, both strategies will probably involve touching as many people as possible.

08:32As a human, you want as many points as a zombie, you want to infect as many people.

08:39Please take your antidote.

08:42I'm really nervous about this game because so much of it is going to be determined by what cards you just happen to get in the beginning.

08:49I want to be a human for sure.

08:51We've got to watch his face when he comes out.

08:54Yeah, that's what I was thinking.

08:55That's a massive one for me.

09:02I'm not sure how to approach this.

09:30I think you kind of want to have a zombie in your group because if there's someone that you can trust, they can help you navigate who you should touch.

09:40How are you feeling, Benjamin?

09:41I'm extremely relieved about my card.

09:44I'm a human.

09:45I want to find three other humans, only touch each other.

09:48Like, if I touch you the first round, then I touch Alice in the second round, then I touch Bex.

09:52And a combination of the four of us are human, we will all win.

09:56And the best that the other four humans can do is copy our strategy.

09:58Benjamin's bubble idea is to form a tight-knit group of four players, all of which believe each other are human.

10:06They each touch one other member per round, potentially bringing them up to three points each at the end of the game,

10:12in the hope that this could secure them as the humans with the most points, and therefore the winners.

10:17All it takes then is one person to betray you to get the extra point, and then all of those humans are then at fault.

10:23It's time to play Zombie Game.

10:26Round one begins now.

10:28The key to this game is a human is tracking who's touching.

10:35I think you're actually so pleased to say if you are.

10:39I'm not.

10:39I would tell you if I was.

10:40I'm not.

10:41I think that Charlotte might be.

10:43I don't want it to work on the game of the game.

10:51Like how I need to know that you've worked out.

10:53Okay, I've got a surprise.

10:54Listen, listen, I won't, I promise I won't say anything to anyone.

10:57I won't say anything to anyone.

10:58I don't actually think that we can win this in a way where we get everyone to be zombies, and I pick the Deadmatch.

11:04I can promise you for certain, I'm not going to tell anyone that you're a zombie.

11:07I'm not going to tell anyone.

11:08But the strategy that's best for you leaves you out of the Deadmatch more likely than it leaves us out.

11:12Yeah, I agree.

11:13It's not that I don't trust Charlotte's plan.

11:15It's just a bad plan for me.

11:17It's a great plan for Charlotte.

11:18But Charlotte stole the crown twice in the last game and got a bunch of garnets, so why am I going to help Charlotte again?

11:24Okay, here's the issue.

11:26We need to be in the group of four that wins.

11:29The people in the bubble can only touch people in the bubble.

11:32Unless you...

11:33Not even if you use an antidote, because you might touch somebody who's a human to get an extra point.

11:38And then the other people in the bubble are Deathmatch candidates.

11:40I'm only willing to make this deal if the people in the bubble touch each other and no one else.

11:45Hey, we're trying to find a solid bubble that we can...

11:50Okay.

11:50Well, I'd always say I'm open to a bubble.

11:52Yeah?

11:53Yeah.

11:53The people I would want in my bubble of four is everyone but Bex.

12:00But it's because I haven't talked to you.

12:02Okay.

12:03If I was a zombie, you'd be able to tell a mile off, because I'd be walking around going,

12:06what would you do?

12:07What would you do?

12:08Ben's a hugely strong player, and I would love to have a solid alliance with Ben.

12:12The problem is, is I can see that Ben not only just doesn't trust me as a person,

12:17I'm not really sure he trusts my skill set.

12:19I think he wants to play with the clever people.

12:23I think she's definitely human.

12:25But then again, do you know what?

12:27I'm not saying anybody's not, but I actually do trust you.

12:28Tasha, we trust each other.

12:30I do trust you.

12:30We've got that look, and we know.

12:32We trust each other.

12:33I'm very slightly suspicious of you, Alison.

12:36Thanks.

12:37I'm sorry.

12:38I'm sorry.

12:38Only because it's slightly different energy to normal.

12:41Well, I don't know.

12:43I don't know.

13:08Alison, I want to work with you so bad, but I just don't know.

13:16I just don't know if I can trust you right now.

13:18I respect Alison enough, and I think she's smart enough to be a zombie and lie about it.

13:24And because of that respect I had for her, I had to go with Bex in the bubble over Alison.

13:30Alison, if you're a human, I'm really sorry.

13:31This confirms our bubble then.

13:33Yeah.

13:33The four people in the bubble are myself, India, Pasha, and Bex.

13:39I have put my trust in the people who I think are humans, and I'm hoping that I'm right.

13:44Pasha, do you want to touch now?

13:46Okay.

13:47We're touching.

13:49I trust you.

13:50You can trust me.

13:51Hi, I'm sir.

13:58I'm trusting you.

13:58This would be epic if you were a zombie after all this.

14:02I'll congratulate you if you are.

14:03Thank you very much.

14:12Yeah, I caught something in your expression, right?

14:14And I thought it was that you got the opposite of what you wanted to get.

14:21But I don't know what you wanted.

14:22You think I wanted to get a zombie?

14:23Did you?

14:24Yeah.

14:24So you got a human?

14:25Did you get a zombie by any chance?

14:26No, I got a human.

14:27You got a human?

14:28Yeah.

14:28But they thought I got a zombie.

14:30Well, they couldn't trust me, so they kicked me out.

14:31Why do you think they couldn't trust you?

14:33I'm not very expressive, and I just think that they couldn't read me.

14:37I think Alison is the other zombie.

14:40I'm playing it a little safe.

14:41As opposed to me trying to win it with another zombie, I've instead been making alliances

14:47across the group where I would tell the maximum amount of people that I'm the zombie to secure

14:52myself a place away from the death match.

14:54Do you remember what was on the card when you picked it up?

15:02I don't know.

15:06Just the picture.

15:07I'm guessing it was just the...

15:10It said human, but I don't know if there was a picture.

15:14That's fair.

15:15That's fair.

15:15Yeah.

15:15Hey, before you say anything, I'm happy to be honest about what I am.

15:27I am a human.

15:32Good.

15:33We are as well.

15:33Genuinely willing to work with a zombie.

15:36I am as well.

15:37Who do you think is a zombie?

15:38I think Charlotte might be.

15:39How do we play this?

15:40I think we should all just touch.

15:41At least we're all getting two points in round one.

15:43Yeah.

15:43Okay.

15:45Hi, guys.

15:47Is this a private show?

15:47Yeah.

15:48You want to stay as a three?

15:50Are you a zombie?

15:51No, I'm a human.

15:52Okay.

15:53If you are a zombie, you're welcome to come into this room and have an open discussion with

15:56three humans.

15:57Well, then, I'm just going to come in.

16:00I think all three of us were kind of hoping that one of the three of us would be a zombie.

16:02So, with that being said, are you a zombie or a human?

16:07I am a zombie.

16:08Perfect.

16:08That is really good news.

16:10What do you want out of the game?

16:10I just, honestly, I'm happy to work with anyone, as long as whoever was the winner,

16:16for example.

16:17If you guys wanted to go for the win, didn't pick me for the deathmatch.

16:21Okay.

16:21It's quite easy to be a zombie, actually, because the deathmatch candidate will just

16:26be the person with the lowest number of points.

16:27And it's very unlikely for a large group of humans to band together when they don't know

16:32who the zombies are, which means there will always be a group that has a lower amount of

16:36points.

16:37But by telling both sides that I'm the zombie, I've basically secluded myself from that choice.

16:43And that was my plan.

16:46So, I think what's going to happen is, if one of you were to touch me, you take the antidote,

16:50right?

16:51But you don't tell anyone you take the antidote.

16:52Yeah.

16:53And I give you my one.

16:54Okay.

16:54I'd be on to do that.

16:56So, Charlotte's the zombie.

16:57This is perfect.

16:57We were looking for a zombie.

16:59We can now form a strategy.

17:00We need to find probably one, if not two more humans in that other group.

17:04There is another zombie out there.

17:05We're not sure who it is.

17:06If we find that zombie instead, that could be problematic.

17:09Do you have an idea of who the other person is?

17:11I think it's about it.

17:13Ooh, okay.

17:17Can we do ours now?

17:18Yeah.

17:19Trusting you can.

17:21So, the strategy at the moment is that I will touch with as many humans as I can.

17:28I love that.

17:31I'm working with Scott, who's a human, and Ken, who I also believe is a human.

17:35This means that I will guarantee at least two points from them, too.

17:41I trust you.

17:42I trust you, too.

17:43I hope I trust you.

17:47But then I also need to get some more points, because the other guys could potentially get

17:51three each.

17:52So, I need to find a way to overtake them and not be the lowest human.

17:56Ready?

17:57Let's do it.

17:59Ken.

17:59My life in your hands.

18:00Go for it.

18:01It is done.

18:05We have touched.

18:07Shall we go?

18:08Yeah.

18:08Go for it.

18:12Okay.

18:13I'm trusting you again.

18:14I'm going wild in this round.

18:15You did good last time.

18:16Yeah.

18:19Okay.

18:19Can I say, they've just kicked me out because I think I'm a zombie.

18:24I'm not a zombie.

18:25I'm human, but...

18:26I believe I'm human as well.

18:27Should we just go?

18:28Yeah.

18:28I think somebody in that team, I think somebody's blocking me as a zombie.

18:32Yeah.

18:32It has to be.

18:34What I'll do then, not that I don't trust you, but...

18:39In fact, no, I do trust you.

18:41I do trust you.

18:41I'm going to save my antidote for next round.

18:44You're definitely human.

18:46Definitely human.

18:47Okay.

18:47Let's get back.

19:05Alison and...

19:05It's all falling to pieces.

19:07Alison and Malfi have touched.

19:10Alison and Malfi?

19:11Just now.

19:12So Malfi's a zombie?

19:16Do I take this?

19:18What do you think?

19:19Is it beneficial for you two?

19:21Or is it not?

19:22It's a bit of a zombie now.

19:24Or weight around.

19:26It's still in my control.

19:27I'll take it.

19:27I think you should just take it.

19:28I'll take it.

19:32Very good.

19:34I'll keep this.

19:35I think they'll look like I haven't taken it.

19:36I was going to say, I drank mine and threw it in the middle.

19:37Everyone's going to know I've touched you.

19:39Yeah.

19:40But I don't touch.

19:41No, no, no, no.

19:41You don't tell.

19:43Time's up for round one.

19:45Here are the results.

19:50Oh.

19:51Ooh.

19:53One human has been turned into a zombie,

19:55which means there are now three zombies and seven humans.

19:59That proves I can't be a zombie.

20:00I touch three people.

20:01I touch two.

20:02I touch two.

20:03I'll be me.

20:03You don't be taking antidotes.

20:06Do you think I'm stupid?

20:07Yeah, antidotes.

20:08We will now begin round two.

20:12Bex.

20:13We need you.

20:13Can I steal you for a second?

20:14Yeah.

20:15Oh.

20:16What's going on?

20:17After round one, I'm starting to have doubts.

20:19I can see flaws in this strategy.

20:21Bex, come here.

20:22We've got a winning solution.

20:23Bex, please.

20:24Bex, Bex, Bex, Bex.

20:24Bex.

20:25Bex, we need you.

20:26No, Bex, hold on.

20:27Bex, come here.

20:27Bex, we won our first.

20:29We caught our first.

20:29Bex, no, no.

20:30You joined our bubble.

20:31Bex, Bex, come here.

20:33You've already touched it.

20:35Let me just go with them for two minutes.

20:37Bex.

20:38Bex, please.

20:39You've joined our bubble.

20:40This is really important.

20:41I will consider this a betrayal at the highest level.

20:44That's what a bubble means.

20:57Bex, Bex, we need you.

20:58Can I steal you for a second?

20:59Yeah.

21:00Oh, you're my...

21:02Bex, come here.

21:03We've got a winning solution.

21:04Bex, please.

21:04Bex, Bex, Bex, Bex, Bex.

21:06Bex, we need you.

21:06Bex, Bex, come here.

21:08We won our first.

21:09We caught our first.

21:10Bex, no, no.

21:10You joined our bubble.

21:12Bex, Bex, come here.

21:14You've already touched it.

21:16Let me just go with them for two minutes.

21:17Bex.

21:19Bex, please.

21:19You've joined our bubble.

21:20This is really important.

21:22I will consider this a betrayal at the highest level.

21:25That's what a bubble means.

21:27No, it doesn't.

21:28Yes, it is.

21:29No, I'll come and chat with you.

21:30But you don't mean I can't chat to everyone else.

21:31You can't not chat.

21:32Bex.

21:33Oh, my God, Bex.

21:34No, chatting, I aren't touching.

21:36Okay?

21:37Chatting, not touching.

21:38Please, Bex, please.

21:39Yeah.

21:39I trust Bex, okay?

21:41It's more about Scott than Bex because I don't trust him as far as I can throw him.

21:45And the only thing that can ruin our strategy is somebody deviating from the bubble.

21:48Because if one of us goes, then all the rest of us are compromised.

21:52I mean, to be fair, it's a little bit about Bex.

21:53I do think Bex could be convinced, potentially.

21:57Hi.

21:58Are you a zombie?

21:58No.

21:59I don't know who one zombie is.

22:00Which one?

22:01Charlotte is definitely a zombie.

22:02We believe Allison is the second zombie.

22:05She has touched a man face, so he is the third zombie.

22:08The rest of the team are all humans, we believe.

22:11And you're the only other human in the game who I know is a human who I need to be able

22:15to touch, at least in one round.

22:16The people that thought they knew what they were doing, they've got to a point where they're

22:21a little bit like, uh-oh.

22:23The thing is, is that they need to get extra touches.

22:25And the people that need to give the extra touches are in my gang, so they're struggling

22:29with getting touches.

22:32Yeah?

22:33Oh, my gosh.

22:35Um, you guys have talked.

22:37Yeah, we're friendish now.

22:38You...

22:39I think you might be a zombie.

22:42I'm not going to lie to you.

22:43Me?

22:43Yeah.

22:44I promise you I'm not.

22:45Because right now, I need to go for points as well, but I need to figure out who I can

22:47touch.

22:49And I've really taken antidote, so I can only buy one more.

22:52What do you say?

22:53You took it after Allison.

22:54Yeah.

22:55But now...

22:56Can you show your antidote, if that's okay?

22:58No problem.

22:59The antidote's empty, and I have two garnets here as well.

23:04Okay.

23:05My suspicion is that Allison's a zombie.

23:09Sorry.

23:10Hello.

23:12What's going on?

23:14What's going on?

23:15We're trying to...

23:16Figure out.

23:17So you two are zombies?

23:18I'm not a zombie.

23:19You're 100% a zombie.

23:20I'm 100% not a zombie.

23:22And you guys...

23:23I think it's hilarious that everybody thinks I'm a zombie.

23:25So I think either one of you guys were, and then you touched, and the other one turned

23:29you into a zombie.

23:29I think so.

23:30I think you turned on the two who can be.

23:31There is a risk that in their group there could be one zombie.

23:33Did you all touch just once each?

23:40Yeah.

23:41One of you could be a zombie?

23:42It's possible.

23:43It's possible.

23:44But I don't think so.

23:46Someone in that group...

23:47You took your...

23:48Yeah, I took my antidote.

23:50I can't be a zombie.

23:50So I can't have infected him.

23:53Exactly.

23:53Because you actually took one of your antidotes.

23:55I only have one.

23:56I'm going to get one of it.

23:57We're going to test it.

23:58It was sweet.

23:59You took your antidote after touching one of that, which was me.

24:03Shall we discuss this?

24:04Can we discuss this?

24:04It can't be me, can't it?

24:05Shall we chat for us?

24:06We'll just have to really quickly do some calculation.

24:09Can you close the door?

24:12I'll leave him.

24:13What the fuck?

24:14I think they're both strong.

24:16It's my suspicion that they took it.

24:18They're trying to get everyone to be zombie.

24:21Can I go in and buy your man to do it?

24:23Man's OK.

24:28I trust you.

24:30With my life.

24:33I trust you.

24:35Does anyone want to touch?

24:36I'll touch it.

24:37Because no one can see.

24:38Do it now.

24:42OK.

24:46There we go.

24:49I need to go for points, but right now, I think them two are zombies and one more person, who is Alison.

24:54So I've gone and bought an antidote, and now I need to kind of get in a group or get as many points as possible.

25:01You bought an antidote, so you don't think you're a zombie right now?

25:03I don't think I'm not, because I took one the first round as well.

25:06I can't be a zombie right now.

25:08If you're 100%.

25:08I've taken an antidote.

25:10Do you want to take my garnet?

25:11You're sure took the antidote.

25:12Took the antidote.

25:13You for sure took the antidote.

25:14I have one garnet now.

25:15At the end of last round.

25:16Yes.

25:16After tapping.

25:17Yes.

25:18100%.

25:19Hand on heart.

25:21Hand on heart.

25:21Which side's the heart?

25:23You're the doctor.

25:24It's in the middle.

25:24I'm the PT.

25:26It's shaking.

25:27We had a tough situation.

25:28Do you promise me?

25:29I promise you.

25:30You are human.

25:31I promise you I'm human.

25:32I'm human, and I need points.

25:33I'm not coming in last.

25:34That's what's happening.

25:34I'm not coming in last in this game.

25:37In the next round, right?

25:39OK.

25:39No matter what.

25:39Thank you very much.

25:53Thanks.

25:53You're definitely human.

25:54Amanphe?

25:55Definitely.

25:57Let's touch and see what happens.

26:01I touch with Amanphe at the very end.

26:03So just one extra person this round.

26:06At this stage, I'm just worried.

26:07What if I've trusted the wrong people already,

26:09and I'm just somebody who's on me anyway?

26:11And I won't know.

26:16Alison?

26:17Yeah?

26:19Oh, attach.

26:20Attach.

26:21Attach.

26:21Oh, that's a shame.

26:30I want everyone to see this.

26:33I have touched with Alison, and I am taking my antidote.

26:35Which means you'll stay a human.

26:37India?

26:38Huh?

26:38I've touched Alison, and I've taken my antidote.

26:44Round two is over.

26:46Here's the results.

26:51Two more humans have been turned into zombies,

26:54meaning there are now five zombies and five humans.

26:57Hmm.

26:59Sounds about right.

27:00That's what I expected.

27:00That's what you expected.

27:02Yeah.

27:03There's two ways it could be five and five.

27:06And it's...

27:07And it's two separate groups that can do five and five.

27:10Yes, two exact groups.

27:11Exactly.

27:12I was thinking about it, too.

27:13You guys could be mistrusting someone in your group.

27:16Yeah.

27:17Possibly.

27:17I think that's more likely.

27:18The people in that group of four, they seem to trust each other,

27:22but the way the numbers actually came down

27:24and everything that's happened

27:25makes me think there is one zombie in there,

27:27and they've just laid low.

27:30Good luck in the final round.

27:33As long as we just stick to our plan,

27:34it doesn't matter who the five-five is.

27:36And if one of you is a starting zombie,

27:38then good play.

27:38Yeah, exactly.

27:39I won't be mad.

27:39Good play.

27:40Right, let's get our touches in.

27:51Okay, touch.

27:53Let's go.

27:55All right, let's go.

27:55I think this is actually going to work.

28:02We need to just figure out what's going on.

28:03Okay.

28:04I touched a man, V.

28:06You're a human.

28:10Definitely.

28:12Oh, sorry.

28:13No, come on.

28:13We need you a second.

28:14We know what you are.

28:15We know the situation.

28:16You're a zombie.

28:17We do that.

28:19Okay, guys.

28:20Guys.

28:22I'm throwing things out.

28:22I'm a zombie as well.

28:25Did you lie to me?

28:27Mm.

28:27Aw.

28:34Guys, I'm throwing things out.

28:43I'm a zombie as well.

28:46Did you lie to me?

28:47Mm.

28:48Aw.

28:4945 minutes earlier.

28:57In the dealer room, I picked up the zombie card.

29:00Gives me a lot of control.

29:01Right.

29:02I'm a zombie.

29:03Are you actually?

29:04I believe I'm human.

29:05Should we just go?

29:06Yeah.

29:07I touched with Alison because I needed to spread the virus.

29:10I'm going to take my antidote right now.

29:12Why?

29:13People will be able to work out I'm a zombie because Alison's an early person that's become

29:16a zombie.

29:17If we swap bottles, protect me.

29:20Yeah.

29:21I gave my antidote to Amanthi.

29:25He says he's human, so hopefully if he ends up top, he won't choose me for the deathmatch.

29:31We'll see.

29:32I faked buying an antidote to convince everyone I was a human.

29:35I'm going to say that I drank it and left it in here.

29:38Let's get rid of one of these.

29:40Where can I hide this?

29:41I like to play games, keeping my cards close to my chest.

29:48Took the antidote.

29:49You for sure took the antidote.

29:50Have one garnet now.

29:50So you don't think you're a zombie right now?

29:53I don't think.

29:53I know I'm not because I took one the first round as well.

29:55Do you promise me?

29:56I promise you that I'm a human.

30:01Thanks.

30:01You're definitely human.

30:02Amanthi?

30:03Definitely.

30:04The plan is to make everyone run a zombie.

30:08Yeah.

30:09Okay, wait, wait.

30:10It's okay.

30:11Man, why didn't you tell me?

30:13You put your hand on your heart as well.

30:15I know, but as a zombie, you have to lie.

30:16And one moment in that situation, not put my hand on my heart.

30:19I tried to pivot really quickly, and me telling Charlotte, Bedali, and Scott that I'm a zombie is probably my last Hail Mary.

30:31Right now, I need to help Scott to win, because I need to make sure that there are winners that have me in their good favours.

30:38Once they're in the lead, they have the choice of who to death match.

30:42Candidate is, hopefully it isn't me.

30:44It's happened twice now.

30:46I have shown willingness to work with him and trust him and giving him that chance, and the opportunity to be honest with me.

30:54But he didn't take it.

30:55The only way I can win is by infiltrating them.

30:58This zombie apocalypse is an absolute nightmare.

31:01I've lost control of the situation.

31:03I think there's a group which I've wrestled controlling.

31:05I will continue trying to break into that group.

31:06I've had a word with Bex.

31:08She seemed to be slightly open to it, but I'll see if I can lean on that to convince her that it's in her benefit to win.

31:14There's really no reason to talk to anyone else outside the bubble, honestly.

31:17There's no point.

31:18You need to trust me.

31:20I tried to notice.

31:21You need to trust me.

31:21I'll just have a quick chat with Scott.

31:22Oh, my God.

31:23Let me talk to her first.

31:25Chill.

31:27Ben has absolutely no reason not to trust me in this game.

31:30I think he's just panicking a little bit, and all I'm trying to do is collect information and go back and help the team.

31:35I'm just trying to help him.

31:37I don't understand why she keeps running off to talk with Scott.

31:40Thanks, buddy.

31:41Right.

31:44I am human.

31:45Right, OK.

31:46But for me to stay human, I have to touch another human, and you're the only one I trust to be a human.

31:50Yeah.

31:50Which would give me up to three points, which would be enough to be on level with you guys.

31:54If I touched you, you'd be on four points, which would give you the win.

31:58Yeah.

31:58And if that happened, and we're all on three, then we'd be the ones for the deathmatch, and you'd have the final say.

32:03Right, so this is how I'm going to check it, right?

32:05I'm going to go through, and you and Amanphi are the two that I'm going to try and save.

32:10They're the people I'm going to put up for saving play.

32:12OK, I appreciate that.

32:13Yeah, so that's all I'm going to tell you.

32:14I will understand that.

32:15Cool.

32:15Are you touching?

32:18No.

32:19I told you I'm not.

32:20You're giving me a heart attack.

32:21Chill.

32:22So, Bex has said she's not for shifting, but when it comes to deathmatch, us two will be safe.

32:29I touched no one in that round.

32:31I wanted to become a zombie.

32:32There was no benefit to being the remaining human on two points, and I was never going to convince one of the other four remaining humans to touch me anyway.

32:39So, it all had the same end result.

32:40I'm a zombie at the end of the game.

32:42I just want you to know that I have a way of winning this game completely, and I'm not taking it.

32:47I appreciate that.

32:48OK, we'll all do it together.

32:49We'll all finish together, OK?

32:50OK.

32:51Oh, my gosh.

32:52I was wanted in this round.

32:54I think that was key to my game, is that it's still showing that I can be trusted.

32:57If I can make myself friendly and trustworthy to as many people as possible, I effectively have a team of people that want to keep me in.

33:05The game is over.

33:07Did the humans triumph or are we entering the zombie apocalypse?

33:10Let's find out.

33:12Here are the results.

33:14One more human became a zombie, so the game ends with six zombies and four humans.

33:27That's what we were expecting.

33:29Please be the right of our humans.

33:35Yes.

33:36There he is.

33:36Benjamin, Bex, Pasha and Indy all receive three points remaining as humans, and therefore each win a token of life.

33:46All other players are now zombies and are at risk of being selected as the deathmatch candidate.

33:50I'm really pleased with how the game went today.

33:53I identified the right strategy, put the right group together, and so I'm really proud of that.

33:58I think I'm going to be in such a good position moving forward.

34:00The original zombies were...

34:02Charlotte and Amanthi.

34:13I used you for my strategy, I'm sorry.

34:18Amanthi is going to come unstuck because he's annoying people, so his days are numbered.

34:27Alison put her trust in me.

34:29I feel bad for using her to get ahead in the game, but I think you have to be sharper than that when you're dealing with alliances, otherwise you can get tricked real easily.

34:45Can you pick the person who betrayed me?

34:47Okay.

34:48We'll see.

34:50Okay, guys.

34:50Amanthi has gone behind my back and his own team's back a couple of times, so...

35:02Amanthi is very devious.

35:04Oh, gosh.

35:05Yeah, I know.

35:07My number one I don't want going is Amanthi.

35:10I don't want Amanthi going.

35:11Okay, that's my number one.

35:13Good game.

35:14Again.

35:15I was a little bit deceitful, but as a zombie, I had to be.

35:18Yeah.

35:18Yeah, sir.

35:19The person who goes in the deathmatch, we've got to be sure that they will lose that deathmatch.

35:25It's no point picking somebody who's going to win and then have a grievance against us.

35:29We need to pick the weakest person.

35:30Okay, I mean, but then there's argument for also eliminating one of the strongest players.

35:34This is a chance to take a shot.

35:36This is why I think we go for Scott, because...

35:39Oh, my God, are you there?

35:40I think so.

35:42Scott's a massively good player in a door.

35:43I think he'll go home, and then he'll use that going forward.

35:46Who else is there?

35:47Between all of them, I think I would pick either Scott or Alison.

35:55Please return to the atrium.

36:07Please now reveal which player has been selected as the deathmatch candidate.

36:11I'm happy to confirm on behalf of the group.

36:17We've decided to go with Scott as the deathmatch candidate.

36:27Yeah, I know.

36:28We're incredibly sorry.

36:29No hard feelings.

36:30I knew it was coming.

36:32Today's gone pretty much as I had feared, and slightly as I'd expected it might have gone.

36:36I knew if I didn't win and protect myself today, I was going to be one of the main contenders to be on the chopping block.

36:43Oh, what a fall from grace, is what I'll say.

36:47Benjamin, Pasha, Bex and Indy have each gained a token of life.

36:51Scott, please choose someone without a token of life to join you in the deathmatch.

37:02Ah, this is as hard a decision.

37:15I will not be picking Charlotte, I think.

37:18You gave me the token of life yesterday and immunity yesterday, so...

37:21Ken, I see you as a valuable ally, so I wouldn't want to lose you either, so thank you.

37:31Pedalia, I'll protect you for now.

37:41Manfey and Alison.

37:47Unfortunately, one of you has to be it.

37:49It's not an easy choice.

37:53I'll say Manfey has the garnet advantage.

37:56If you win the deathmatch, I will give you a garnet.

38:01Okay.

38:01And hopefully we'll be allies in the future as well.

38:09I'm happy with that.

38:11Scott.

38:11Okay.

38:14I'll give you a garnet if you don't pick Alison.

38:17Wow.

38:19It probably wasn't a smart game move on my part to offer a garnet and interject myself

38:25into this negotiation, make an enemy of a Manfey.

38:28Alison wanted to work with us today, and then she was kicked out of my bubble.

38:32I'm the one who did it to her.

38:33I kicked her out and stopped her from being safe and having a joint win.

38:37And so I wouldn't be able to go to sleep tonight if I didn't stick up for her.

38:41I would like to confirm that the candidate I would like to choose for the deathmatch is Alison.

38:55I'm not scared of going into the deathmatch.

38:57I hope I don't lose, but this is a game where you have to take some risks.

39:01Today's deathmatch is hidden knots and crosses, which is like knots and crosses, but instead of three lines, it's six.

39:13And some of the knots and crosses are white and some are gold, and plus you won't be able to see where they are.

39:19So cards on the table, not very much like knots and crosses, but we have to give a game a name, don't you?

39:24In this game, players must rearrange a grid of white and gold knots or crosses to create trios of knots and crosses in a single colour,

39:33in horizontal, vertical or diagonal lines.

39:37Players will have 90 seconds to memorise the pattern before the pattern is hidden.

39:43On each turn, a player has two options.

39:46View one of the discs, or blindly swap the location of two discs.

39:50At the end of their turn, the player will have the option to lock in three discs.

39:54If a match is correctly identified, the player earns three points.

39:59These discs cannot be moved or used in any subsequent matches.

40:02However, if a match is not revealed, the discs turn back and the player will lose one point.

40:09The first player to reach ten points wins the deathmatch and their opponent is eliminated.

40:14The deathmatch will begin shortly.

40:17Oh, that is crazy hard.

40:21I don't know how good Alison is with these types of games, but I'm hoping she doesn't have as good memory,

40:25so I'd say I'm feeling quietly confident, shall we say.

40:28You only need to get four in order to win, and you can make two mistakes and still get your ten points.

40:33Unless memory gains his least favourite, then I'm probably in a bit of trouble.

40:39How are you feeling, Alison?

40:42You okay?

40:42I was hoping that I'd get something that I didn't have to memorize.

40:47Memorize.

40:47Yeah.

40:48But hey-ho.

40:53Okay, let's focus.

40:54So, once it gets revealed, I think that a good strategy is to look for ones that are already in groups of two.

41:02Yeah.

41:02Then you can spot ones that are out on their own.

41:05Yeah.

41:06All you have to do is now swap this one with this one.

41:08Yeah.

41:09This one with this one.

41:10Yeah.

41:10Okay?

41:11I would never spend my turn revealing.

41:14Okay.

41:15What I would do is spend your turn swapping ones that he knows that belong to him, so you mess him up.

41:21Yeah.

41:22It's a pure rice.

41:23It's a pure rice, yeah.

41:25Yeah.

41:25If I can lock in the three straight away, and I'm certain I'm putting Alison under pressure, I can make a couple of mistakes.

41:31It doesn't make a difference.

41:32You can make two mistakes in this game.

41:33Two mistakes, and there's no consequence.

41:34You can always make two mistakes.

41:35There are six in play.

41:37There's six.

41:37Yeah.

41:38There's 18, nine of each color, so there's a possible six out there.

41:43Okay.

41:44Good luck.

41:46Thanks, guys.

41:47You got this.

41:48This will be a good alliance going forward if I survive.

41:53Players, the time has come.

42:02The deathmatch will now begin.

42:09Good luck.

42:10Good luck.

42:11Oh, my gosh.

42:14Scott, as deathmatch candidate, would you prefer to play noughts or crosses?

42:18Please, may I play noughts?

42:20Alison, you will play crosses.

42:22Scott, as deathmatch candidate, who would you like to play first?

42:27I would like to play first.

42:28We will now turn the discs.

42:30Please turn your backs to the table.

42:36I think I can win this.

42:38At the end of the day, if I get four correct lock-ins in a row, I win the game, and there's nothing Alison can do about it.

42:43Theoretically, I might be the underdog, but I'm not having that attitude.

42:45I'm a great believer in positive thinking, and I would like Scott to regret his decision.

42:53You may now turn around.

42:54You will have 90 seconds to memorise this arrangement.

42:57I don't think I'll then lead the net to the end of the day.

42:58You are very happy.

42:59You're pretty good.

43:00I am not having that.

43:01I already know of you and they will.

43:01You will be, for example, be Bonham and see more reference to what's your own promise.

43:02You did it, you're not having trouble all the puzzles anymore.

43:03You can get close enough to the end of the day.

43:05Your time is up, please turn your backs to the table.

43:35May you both turn around?

43:40Scott, would you like to reveal a disc or swap two discs?

43:43I'd like to swap two discs, please.

43:45Which two discs would you like to swap?

43:54This disc.

43:57This disc.

44:05Would you like to lock in a match?

44:13Yes.

44:14Which three discs would you like to reveal?

44:18A3.

44:35Which three discs would you like to reveal?

44:42A3.

44:43Correct.

44:44Three points.

44:45Allison, would you like to reveal a disc or swap two discs?

45:05Swap, please.

45:06Swap two discs. Swap, please.

45:08This one, and this one.

45:16Would you like to lock in a match?

45:17Yes. This one, this one, and this one.

45:34Correct. Three points.

45:37This could be really neck and neck.

45:39That was a disaster move for me.

45:42The area she's targeted is where I was about to move to next,

45:45and so I can't go there, and it's just thrown me completely off.

45:48I have lost track of everything now.

45:50I'd like to swap two discs, please.

45:53This one, and this one.

46:00Would you like to lock in a match?

46:03No.

46:03So he wasted a time.

46:12Alison?

46:13Swap two discs.

46:14This one, and this one.

46:21Would you like to lock in?

46:23Yes.

46:23Which three discs would you like to lock in?

46:26These three.

46:26Correct.

46:27Three points.

46:28Oh, she's going to go ahead.

46:32Oh, she's going to go ahead.

46:33Oh, she's going to go ahead.

46:34Oh, she's going to go ahead.

46:35Oh, she's going to go ahead.

46:36I love this.

46:37And my heart has just sunk.

46:38See, Alison getting this second set on the board.

46:39She now has the advantage.

46:40She's interfered with my gameplay, and my head is scrambling.

46:43Swap two discs, please.

46:44Swap two discs, which two discs would you like to swap?

46:50Can't remember which ones I just did.

46:52She's interfered with my gameplay, and my head is scrambling.

46:55Swap two discs, please.

46:57Which two discs would you like to swap?

46:59I can't remember which ones I just did.

47:06This one.

47:11This one.

47:19Would you like to lock in a match?

47:23Yes.

47:41Correct, three points.

47:43OK, now things are getting interesting.

47:45I'd like to swap this one, and this one.

47:49Would you like to lock in a match?

47:52No.

47:53Spot.

47:54I'm losing this now.

47:56I'd like to reveal.

47:58No, she just opened one of hers, right?

48:08That's YX.

48:09Yeah, that's YX.

48:10That's YX.

48:11That's YX.

48:12Would you like to lock in a match?

48:16Alison?

48:17Swap two discs, please.

48:18This one, and this one.

48:24Would you like to lock in?

48:25Yes.

48:26This one, this one, and this one.

48:28Come on, baby.

48:38Correct, three points.

48:39Thank God.

48:40You want him out, don't you?

48:41I would like him to go, and I really want her to stay.

48:44Spot.

48:46Swap two discs.

48:48Which two discs do you wish to swap?

48:51My head's gone.

48:52I can't remember a thing.

48:54The pressure's on me.

48:55I need to get two sets before she gets one.

48:58I'm just going to have to go for it.

49:04Would you like to lock in a match?

49:06Yes.

49:08It's this and this.

49:21Wasn't even close.

49:23That is incorrect.

49:25Minus one point.

49:28Alison?

49:29Swap two discs.

49:30This one, and that one.

49:32She took, she kept her X's and she took his circle and moved it the hell somewhere where he don't know where this.

49:38That's really small.

49:40Would you like to lock in a match?

49:42Not this go.

49:44I'm getting a better idea of where my pieces are, and I'm feeling more and more in control.

49:49He can lose it as much as I can win it, so I can take my time and wait it out.

49:53Spot.

49:54Reveal.

49:56Would you like to lock in a match?

50:00May as well.

50:01Yes, I'll lock in this, this and this.

50:03This, this and this.

50:12Incorrect.

50:13Minus one point.

50:14I'd like to reveal a disc.

50:16This one.

50:20Would you like to lock in a match?

50:21All or nothing.

50:22These three.

50:23You have to potlock this. I'll swap two discs. This one. And...

50:31Stam in the dark. This one.

50:38Would you like to lock in a match?

50:40All or nothing, these three.

50:53That is incorrect.

50:59Alison, swap, please. This one and this one.

51:05Would you like to lock in a match? No.

51:13I'd like to swap two discs, please. This one and this one.

51:17Would you like to lock in a match? Yes. One, two, three.

51:37Correct. Three points.

51:41Alison, swap two discs. This one and this one, please.

51:48Would you like to lock in a match? Yes, please. This one, this one and this one.

52:07Correct. Three points.

52:10Players, the death match is now over.

52:14Congratulations, Alison. You are the winner.

52:24One of the things that motivated me was thinking that Scott thought it was going to be a walkover.

52:31And I wasn't prepared to let that happen. I'm very pleased.

52:34Your tips help me so much. Thank you. Thank you.

52:37I just did what you said. Thank you.

52:39I was obviously rooting for Alison and rooting against Scott.

52:41This is a game where you're not meant to really care about people's feelings in this way.

52:47So I guess maybe I'm a bit more loyal than I thought I was.

52:50I just lost it. I couldn't.

52:52You did so well. Well done. You played well. You played well.

52:54I'm disappointed. I think Alison played a fantastic game. Let me flounder and then use that to her advantage. She was ruthless in that game. So full credit to her.
