Yam Yam was not-- he was on my sketch list.

because she's a Traitor.
- Is Lisa still a thing? - Lisa's still on my list.
- Are we taking what Yam Yam said about that as a thing?
- I feel stronger about Natalie.
- Mm-hmm.
- So, obviously, yesterday was a lot.
- It was so crazy.
You were so into not letting me drink it
that I thought you 100% were a Traitor in that moment.

to have the antidote so badly.

something's not sitting right with me.
We'll have to see if my gut is right,

and you will add $25,000 to the prize pot.
- That's a lot, guys. Come on.
- But this mission isn't just about gold.
The six players who have the most gold
at the end of the mission will earn the right
to play for something far more valuable--
the dagger.
- [gasps] - Dagger?
- The dagger will bestow the owner with the power
of two votes at the roundtable.
all: Oh. - Oh, my God.
- What? - What?
- This is a great power and can only be used once
at one of the next four roundtables.
- Wow.
- Having two votes at the roundtable is a game changer.
I know there's heat on me.
I want to win the dagger, and I need it.
- You'll need these backpacks for carrying the gold,
and because I'm feeling so generous,
I'm starting you each with $500.
[cheering] - That's nice.
- Thank you. - Thank you.
- Best of luck, players.
I'll see you at the top.
Your time starts...
now! - Go. Go, go, go.
- Oh, my gosh. - Oh, my God! They're heavy.
- Oh, it's heavy. - Aah! Aah, aah, aah!
- I'm running like Scooby-Doo.
- I am pumped for this mission.
We are going to have to run up this big-ass hill
and pick up gold rocks.
And whoever has the most rocks
gets a chance to win the dagger.
I want this dagger bad.
I want it so that no one else has it.
Because it's gonna give someone a sense of power,
I want that.
- What's going on here?
Hey, I'll take it.
- Oh, boy.
- Is there any more down there?
- Where's the fucking gold?
- Housewives in the wild. Ha!
- How are you doing, Dorinda?
- It's tough, right?
- Dorinda and I and Candiace are at the bottom
going up against professional football players,
Olympic gold medal athletes...
Whoops.
"Survivor" winners.
Like, I'm just trying to get up the freaking hill, okay?
- Oh, my God.
- "The chance to increase your riches greatly."
Oh, how about this little twist to the game?
Okay.
- Is there a lot down there, guys?
- "You may use your gold to smash the urns.
"For each urn smashed, you will be rewarded
"with 20 gold pieces.
Be warned, any gold thrown will be forever lost."
- So we're taking our own gold that Alan
so generously started us off with
to throw at urns to try to earn more gold.
- So we're going in a row. You, Colton, first.
- Oh, it didn't hit it. - Oh, nice.
- The problem is, is if you throw and you miss,
then your gold is gone forever.
Can I get in line?
- Whoo! - Well done.
- I got one.
- Yes, I hit it.
- Oh, no. One more. - Ah.
I'm not a gifted thrower.
My strategy will not be to waste a whole lot of time
trying to break an urn.
- Yeah.
- Oh, I suck at this.
- At this point, I'm willing to risk all of my gold
just to keep hitting these urns.
I think this, to me, is my best opportunity
to earn the most gold.
The bigger ones are easier, Rob.
- My aim is pretty damn good.
There's a creek that goes right through my farm,
and I'll go down there sometimes for hours
and skip rocks, throw them at trees.
Got it. - Good shit.
- My bag just got a lot heavier.
All right, let's go. - All right, dude.
[both breathing heavily] - You good?
- No. I can't even make it up with this much weight.
Yeah, go ahead, man.
- You want me to take it? Let me take it for a second.
- You sure? - Yeah, yeah. Let me take it.
You're good.
You'll get me back somewhere.
Of course I want to come in first,
but if anybody else comes in first,
it needs to be Rob, because he's my bestie in the game.
I don't see how we don't make the top six.
- Yeah.

Now, to bank the gold, you must place it in a chest.
Either yours or someone else's. - Got it.

Remember, that will give you two votes

that's great for us.
He can use it to throw it at one of them.
But can I trust him?
I don't know.
- The six of you will now play for the dagger.
As you can see, on the table are five stone tablets.
Rob, one of these players is currently holding
the power of the dagger.
In a moment, each player will be asked
to secretly turn over their tablet
and look at what is underneath.
Four players will see an X,
but for one player, they will see the dagger,
meaning they currently hold the power.
After each player has looked at their tablet,
you may question them.
And then you, as the player who won most gold,
will have the opportunity to steal
one tablet from the player of your choice.
For the player with a tablet marked with a dagger,
you will need to engage your best poker face
to hold on to that power.

I'm basically a human lie detector.
