Shatner: Previously on "stars on mars"...
New base commander.
I would like to be a base commander.
I'd definitely put my vote in for you.
Marshawn: Now I'm really seeing who's in it to win it.
- You gotta play the game. - ( siren wailing )
Shatner: Your rad dog has gone missing.
- Let's go! - Porsha: We see it! We see it!
- Cat: Catch up, ariel. - ( grunts )
- Porsha: We got the dog secure! - Arf, arf.
- Let's go. - You are safe, and I'm safe.
I'm definitely a contender to go all the way.
Ai: Ariel, you are not mission critical.
Sad.
I'm very happy I did this,
Even though it was like a little bit of hell.
Shatner: Tonight...
Ai: There will no longer be base commanders.
We're about to get right to the end where only person is gonna win.
Shatner: Attention, crew. This is a rescue mission.
- Porsha: Who are we rescuing? - Shut up!
- Wow. - Oh, my god!
Shatner: Who will be the brightest star?
Cat: I play golf. I'm gonna show you.
- Here's yours. This is called a driver. - Okay.
- Yeah. - This is a driver?
All right, here we go. You wanna try?
- Yeah, why not? - Go ahead.
- Where'd it go? - Adam: Whoa!
Whoo! That was so far!
Cat: I've never golfed on mars, but let's try it.
( grunts )
Adam: It is sol day 16.
You know, I never thought I'd be playing martian golf
With cat cora in a spacesuit.
Now that I'm thinking about it, it is weird.
Cat: When we get back to earth, I'm gonna take you golfing.
Adam: All right.
So you made a life out of this?
- Yeah. - You made a life out of putting your life on camera?
- Yeah. - Why?
Well, let me ask you this.
You've been here under the same surveillance.
- How is it for you? - It's terrible.
- It's terrible? - I can't dig in my nose when I want to.
- You know what I mean? - No, you've been doing that.
You've been digging, you've been farting, you've been belching.
- You've been doing everything. - Nah.
I like porsha. She's like my bougie auntie
Who's got people who you connect with and who you holler at,
And people that you ( bleep ) with.
She cool.
I ain't never did no ( bleep )
Like this before anyway.
Those have cameramen.
If you don't see him in there
And it's not open like that,
He can't see you.
They do though.
Porsha: Oh, hell.
( laughs ) someone...
Adam: This is a fun little activity for us.
There's just six of here living in the hab,
And it's really hitting me
That we're almost at the end of this journey.
Can I get a little bit of that spray, please?
Can you guys believe it
That these are the last few missions coming up?
Crazy. We made it all the way this far.
Adam: You know, obviously porsha and tinashe are my friends,
My good friends here. We've got each other's backs,
But I came here to be the brightest star.
I mean, people are in it to win it, and I am people.
I woke up today and ai was like,
"sol day 15." I'm like--
Damn. Can you believe-- you're like--
I didn't even know what "sol" was at first.
Ai: Porsha, it is sol day 16.
- Yeah. - Nuh-uh!
Marshawn: 'cause it was 15 yesterday.
I just give up. I can't keep up with it anymore.
Ai: Today also marks mother's day.
What?
My god. Oh.
The biggest challenge for me coming here
Had to be being away from my baby girl.
I've never been away from her on mother's day,
And knowing that I wasn't gonna get
A big old hug from her was difficult.
And I'm definitely a little bit overwhelmed today.
Because this experiment has the competition aspect,
I just don't really wanna show that weakness.
( crying )
This has taken true dedication.
This is bringing out the fighter in me.
Moms just get it done, you know?
We go in the closet, you know? We cry it out.
We have a breakdown. Honey, and you would never know.
Ai: Attention, all crew.
Please convene in the kitchen for a special briefing.
Porsha: Marshawn?
You are the final six celebronauts left on mars.
There are now four sol days left in the experiment.
There will no longer be base commanders.
- Paul: No ( bleep ) way. - Adam: Oh, my god.
You will all compete in every mission going forward.
Cat: I think for me this was very, very needed.
It definitely was a disadvantage I think
For paul and I to come in late.
Everybody had formed their alliances and their bonds,
And now I think everybody is, like, every man for themselves.
So I'm ready for this.
Ai: From now on, every mission will help determine
Who will be the brightest star in the galaxy.
Cat: Oh, my god.
There's only gonna be one standing,
So I'm gonna do everything I can not to lose.
Requesting someone to read out this morning's duties.
I will do that. Do you the paper?
Okay, everybody.
"astronauts often leave their mark in space
Whether it's a flag, art,
A memorial for a loved one, or family photos.
Just like show and tell,
Grab your item and show the rest of the stars
What you will be leaving behind and why."
- ( overlapping chatter ) - okay.
Adam: Marshawn, are you gonna leave an empty bottle?
Nah, I'ma leave a swallow. That's-- for the ( bleep ).
You gotta sign it. Sign your bottle and leave it.
Okay, I'll go.
I brought one of my three cookbooks...
- Tinashe: Yes! - Paul: Aw, that's lit.
- ...To leave. - Oh, that's cool.
That's going back with me.
I was the first female iron chef.
I was the first female to be inducted into the culinary hall of fame.
Coming here, it's a personal challenge,
So I think there's just something about that competitive spirit
That fuels people like myself to just wanna win,
And there doesn't have to be a prize at the end.
Tinashe: What you got for us, paul?
I'm gonna leave my dominos.
- All right, there you go. - Porsha: Okay. Okay.
I think this is a great representation of who I am
And what I do in my free time with my friends.
So I'm gonna leave this for the next group of people that make it here.
So, you know, when they have time on they hands
And they sit around like this, they can have something to do.
- I love that. - That's really good.
- Good choice. - You may not recognize her,
But she's four now.
I brought my daughter's ultrasound.
I don't have many of her pictures printed.
That's still her. From the side and when she was inside.
I'm doing this for my daughter to see me be strong,
And I'm in it to win it.
My memento is a picture of me, my husband, and my dog.
- Cat: Aww, I love that. - Aww.
I'm so proud to be among these five other people
Who have lasted this long on mars.
So I'm gonna leave the art that I painted while I was here.
- Cat: Ooh. I love that. - He's just a cute little guy.
And it reminds me of, obviously, being here with y'all.
- Adam: I love it. - Paul: That's pretty dope.
Adam: But the game right now is changing so quickly.
We're about to get right to the end
Where only one person is gonna win.
You guys, this is the last group of people.
I've been playing it fair and square so far,
But I was a competitive athlete.
The goals were so clear cut.
Become a national champion. Get to the olympics.
Doing this experiment, I've got that same mindset.
I wanna win. Hello?
Porsha: But how do we get to the brightest star?
We're gonna have to honestly say out of us
- Who's the brightest star? - I honestly think--
- And then you guys. - ( laughter )
Marshawn: Damn, you scheming. And this is true.
I would have so many reasons why.
- ( siren wailing ) - ( all shouting )
Ai: Incoming message from mission control.
Here we go. You guys, this is it.
Wow, I mean, there's an emergency,
But we don't have a base commander.
So I'm just preparing for anything.
- The anticipation! - I know.
I'm a little bit like, "what's going to happen?
- Ooh, I'm scared. - Attention, crew.
First off, bravo on making it this far.
You're the best of the best. Soak it in.
But you need to stay focused.
We've detected a weak distress signal
That all crew must investigate immediately.
It is emanating from two separate locations.
You'll have to split up into two teams
And find the source of the distress signals.
There's a lot we don't know right now,
But be warned, this is a rescue mission.
- A rescue mission? - A rescue mission.
Who are we rescuing?
Shatner: This mission will test your knowledge
And will earn you a mission patch.
Good luck, or as the captain of my voyage
To space said to me, "sit down!"
- Okay. - We got the brief.
Ai: The distress signals are too weak to get a lock on.
Phase one of your mission will be to boost satellite range
In order to lock on to the exact coordinates
Of each distress signal for rescue.
All right, we need to evenly divide the crews into two search crews,
Travel to coordinates with your rovers.
Arriving at the location, there are two pods of satellites,
That once arranged in the correct order will boost the two weak signals
Locating where the rescue mission would take place.
I'm not the base commander or anything,
But I feel like we should split up the crews in terms of type.
- Me, marshawn, and tinashe and then you guys. - It is funk season.
- It's funk season. - That's good.
- So me, you, and paul then. Okay, cool. - Okay.
Cat: I mean, I just jumped in with both feet.
I mean, obviously adam's very fast.
You know, he's an athlete. And paul is my ride or die,
So I was like, "let's go."
- I think we'd be a strong team. - I think we got it.
Marshawn, porsha, tinashe on one team.
Paul, adam, and cat on the other team.
- All right. - I like that team. I like that team.
- Yeah. Yeah, we're good, yeah. - Team!
- We're really strong and fast. - Yeah, we got it.
I would have loved to have been on a team
With porsha and tinashe, but that's not how it goes.
All right. Here we go.
So I have to remember the team that I'm on right now
Is going to decide my future.
Shatner: Coming up...
This is so ( bleep ) wild.
We don't know what we have to do,
But we are in full gear ready to go.
Oh, my god!
Adam: And then I see it.
Oh, my gosh.
For the cream to rise to the top,
It's about to get crazy.
Wow. It's so interesting.
- Still behind us? - Yeah.
- How far behind are they? - About 20 feet.
Marshawn: 'cause if they hella far behind,
We could do some doughnuts until they catch up.
Tinashe: We got split into two teams.
I was with porsha and marshawn,
And I felt that that was a really good team.
But I'm not gonna lie, I am nervous.
There was just a lot of anticipation for today.
There's still so much a part of me that really wants to win.
- There they go. - Ai: The winning team today will be rewarded
With mission critical status.
The losing team are at risk of being extracted.
Paul: When they said teams of three,
I knew I wanted to be with cat
Because me and cat really formed a bond.
You know, anything that could be thrown at us, we ready for it.
Porsha: Damn right, I'm mission critical.
I'm definitely here to prove that I am more useful
Than any of them on mars, okay?
I'm definitely not ready to go yet.
Look at all these satellites.
Ai: The distress signals we have detected are too weak to indicate their location.
In phase one of this mission,
You must rearrange the satellites
To boost these signals.
It look like somebody already beat me to doing doughnuts here.
Porsha: Ooh! Hey!
Adam: Okay, are you guys ready?
"arriving at the location, the two crews will find two pods
Of eight satellites each."
"the satellites represent the eight planets
In our solar system."
"to strengthen the weak distress signals,
Two crews need to align the planet's satellites
In ascending order in proximity to the sun."
Adam: "along the course,
There are silver stars on the ground
That are to be used as markers to place each satellite on."
"at the start of the course is a red and green light.
Once a crew assigns the satellites
In the correct ascending planetary order,
The light will turn green."
Adam: "the light will only turn green
When the planets are aligned correctly."
- Do you know the order? - No.
I learned the order of the planets when I was really young
From watching "blue's clues."
Mercury, venus, earth, mars,
Jupiter, saturn, uranus...
Tinashe and I had a conversation about this song.
Mercury, venus, earth, mars.
- I know it from "blue's clues." - yes, me, too!
And so as soon as this mission started, I could only think that,
"oh, my god, I know that she knows it."
And I was like, "it's a race."
What is it again?
I so wanted to beat the other team,
Especially adam.
We're all very competitive here,
And nobody wants to be second best.
Ai: The first team to get the green light will be declared the winner
And will automatically be deemed mission critical.
- They will be safe from elimination. - Okay.
The losing team are at risk of being extracted.
Three, two, one. Go.
Let's go.
Porsha: Okay.
Paul: Adam, what's the first one?
- Mercury! - All right, I'll grab mercury.
- All right. - Mercury's first.
This has gotta go back to the beginning.
Give it here. Give it here.
Take that back to the first star.
All right, saturn. What number is saturn?
I have venus over here.
Venus, back here, cat.
( grunts )
Cat: They were all mixed up,
And we had to put the satellite dishes in order
To make the signal very strong,
And we were all trying to remember back
From elementary science.
Which way should we face them? All the same way, right?
Where that's going?
Earth is the third rock from the sun.
( panting )
- Venus. - Marshawn: Right here.
Tinashe, where do you want earth?
Tinashe: Earth? There.
All right, I'm putting earth right there.
- Paul: Where's mars? - Adam: Mars is four.
- Yeah, mars is good. - Mars gotta move.
Porsha: They were super heavy,
And we're literally scraping
The bottom of our energy tanks.
It was so frustrating to have my team behind,
And it's quite possible that I could be
One of the three at the bottom,
And I'm not okay with that.
- Jupiter. - Jupiter's right here!
Jupiter's good. Yes. Saturn.
Here we go! Go, go, go!
Adam: The other team is just in front of us.
That means I gotta move. This is saturn.
Tinashe: Honestly, adam's my buddy,
But this is a competition
And we're gonna win this challenge.
- Uranus right here. - Yes.
Let me put it on the mark.
- And uranus-- - is down here.
- Adam: And then neptune. - So switch those, yeah.
Wow, I was very nervous
Because anyone who's not mission critical
Will be up for elimination,
And so I can't lose.
Uranus, then neptune.
- Did we do it? - I knew we got it.
'cause once I looked-- boom, boom, boom.
I put the last one in place. We was on.
Our light's not green.
We can't tell. It's backwards.
Neptune.
We did it! We did it!
Run to the lights!
And then it was kind of neck and neck.
Go, go! Go!
Come on, come on, come on!
Go, go!
- Right here. We're green! - Right here.
- Both: Yes! - We were first!
Yes!
- And we won. - ( cheering )
Yes! Oh, my god. I'm so proud of us.
Tinashe: Porsha and marshawn and I,
I think we were all a little bit surprised
Because I think we thought that we had it in the bag.
( bleep )
Whatever. We did our best.
- It's all good. - That was amazing.
Ai: Team b, you have won.
Your distress signal is moving
And may be a life source requiring urgent attention.
That signal will now guide you to the required site.
Adam: Now that we've got the stronger signal,
- Let's go see what that is. - Cat: Okay.
Team a, your signal is still weak
And its source is unclear.
However, you must investigate it immediately.
You are the losing team,
And one of you is now at the risk of extraction.
Porsha: What the hell?
- Whoo! - Hold on.
You guys, I can't wait to see what we're gonna find.
Cat: What's happening right now in the middle of the desert?
We get closer and closer to a figure.
Oh, my god!
Shut up!
- Cat: Yes. - Paul: We burning rubber now.
Hold on.
You guys, I can't wait to see what we're gonna find.
I'm so happy we had that strong signal.
We have to complete this rescue mission.
I'm dying to know who the heck are we gonna rescue?
- Paul: Oh, my goodness. - Shut up!
- Paul: Oh, my gosh. - Cat: Wow!
- What? - Oh, my god!
It's william shatner.
( laser zaps )
Our commander, captain kirk--
I mean, william shatner-- in the flesh.
And I almost wrecked the rover.
Wait a minute. What are you guys doing in these bubbles? What--
- Where's your helmet? - I'm breathing the-- no! Don't! You'll die!
Listen, guys, I crash landed.
I thought I was a good pilot, you know?
Boom! Down into the ground.
- Cat: Yeah. - It was awful.
Cat: I guess he's been in space so much,
He's so bad-ass, he doesn't even need to have a suit on.
- Maybe I should sit there... - All right.
Okay, adam?
Wow, william shatner is in better shape than me.
I'm ready. Let's go.
- All right, here we go. - ( engine stalling )
- It's not starting. - I mean, I'm evaluating everything you're doing.
- No, no, no. There it goes. Okay, here we go. - And so far, it's not good!
- ( music playing ) - I'm just gonna lie back and take it easy.
Cat: Let's head back to the hab, everybody.
We did a great job today.
Adam: This is so ( bleep ) wild.
Arf, arf, arf.
- All right. - All right.
( cat sighs )
- Paul: I made it. - Cat: Damn.
All right. Look at you.
- You're taller than I thought, paul. - I know, right?
- Hey, how are you? - And you're smaller than I thought, adam.
- I know, I know. - And you are just right.
I love it.
Ai: Scanning. Decontamination not required.
Okay.
Welcome, commander william shatner,
Galactic legend,
Aka shatty daddy.
What an incredible place you have.
I had no idea-- where did you all go?
Adam, cat, and paul, you are all mission critical.
You may reenter the hab
And collect your knowledge patch
From commander shatner.
( whooshing )
Now, was that somebody passing gas or was that the, uh--
- Okay. - Paul: What you got for us?
This is-- you worked really hard for it.
I love the way you've arranged yourself in height.
Yes, we wanted it to be pleasing for you.
- So here's your mission patch for knowledge. - Wow. Thank you so much.
- Thank you. - This is your mission patch for knowledge.
- Wow. Thank you. - And you.
It's a very special patch.
Paul: My patches are starting to build up now.
When I first got here, I was in the bottom three every night.
Now for me to get to this point-- can't even explain.
If I were you, I'd put it on my forehead.
I'm gluing it. I'm gonna glue it.
What the hell?
Tinashe: This some ( bleep ).
- ( engine stalls ) - marshawn: Oh, no, little mama.
- You got it? - ( engine starts )
- Oh, word, all right. - Ai: Team a,
You are currently 1.5 hours from the hab.
Your oxygen supply is depleting.
- Step on it, marshawn! - Aah!
Oh, okay. Y'all see that up there?
Yeah, that's another capsule.
Wait. Where is everybody?
- It's empty? - Tinashe: Looks like it.
Ai: No lifeforms detected. Rescue unnecessary.
Due to the distance traveled,
There is not enough oxygen on the rover
For all crew to make their way back to the hab.
As a result, you will have to stay overnight on the mars plains.
The supply pod contains all essentials critical to your survival.
- Use them wisely. - All right.
What actually is that supposed to be?
We kept saying we wanted to be outside.
We realized that these are lifesaving pods
For astronauts who are gonna have to sleep outside.
( laughs )
- Nice. - Marshawn: Why you leaning like that?
Tinashe: Looks pretty comfy.
If staying in the hab
And realizing I was gonna be in a bunk was bad,
This is absolutely worse.
We inflate right here.
All right.
- Is it doing it? - Don't look like it.
We had some issues initially with erecting the tent.
Let it rock for a minute.
Porsha: This thing needs to stand straight up like this.
Pull this part down.
Marshawn: We in there like swimwear.
- Tinashe: There we go. - Porsha: Uh-huh.
But once we got it up, it was actually all right in there.
Three will fit.
So if today's badge was survival,
We still won, y'all.
- ( laughter ) - I mean...
We're gonna have to assemble some beds, get the electric blankets.
We have to do all of this
In order to survive a night in mars.
How do we do the oxygen so we can take this off?
Marshawn: Want me to pop this seal?
- Tinashe: That's a good idea. - ( air hissing )
I was like, "what?" like, this is crazy.
I mean, I don't even know what the hell we doing.
The family that's dirty together stay together.
- ( laughs ) - amen.
- Marshawn: Oh, and they got hella roaches in here. - Porsha: A roach?
There's only one patch left.
- Adam: The brightest star. - There it is.
The brightest star.
I want to be the brightest star.
You all wanna win it?
- Oh, yeah. - Yes, yes.
- You really wanna win it? - Absolutely.
Is cat sucking up to william shatner? Yes.
- I'm taking that home to my boys. - Yeah.
Is she doing it because he's gonna have a huge say
In who is the champion of this? Absolutely.
- It's a team game here. Until? - Yes, it is.
Adam: Until there's one winner.
- Until it isn't. - One spot.
- Then it's a free-for-all. - Exactly.
- It's an elbow here, and a kick and a trip. - Yeah, exactly.
"whoops," yeah. Keep going.
Cat: I wanna be the brightest star in the galaxy.
I'm gonna go out there as an individual and I'm gonna crush it.
- All: Cheers! - Cheers! To mars.
- Martian beer. - Paul: Martian beer.
I hope they paid their taxes.
- Mmm. - Adam: Yeah.
- No taxes. Oh! - It's such a pleasure to meet the three of you.
You guys are doing so well. I'm so proud of you.
Cat and adam: Thank you so much.
- This is an honor for us. - It's a long trip to mars and I'm tired.
- I'm gonna go sack out. - Okay, go sack out. It's all yours.
- Adam: It's been a long day. - All right, I'm gonna hit the showers.
- Yeah. I was gonna suggest it. - Yeah, probably for all of us,
- A good suggestion. Yeah. - A pleasure. Thank you.
- You're all artists. - Good night, good night.
- Cat: Thank you so much. - Adam: Have a good one. Good night.
Cat: That was awesome.
- ( beeping ) - marshawn: Where you at?
Ai: Incoming message.
Incoming message. Incoming message.
- Oh! - Hello, stranded celebronauts.
You've managed to erect the emergency field hab
For your overnight on the mars plains.
However, I have terrible news.
There's only enough oxygen for two of you to survive till the morning.
Now you must choose who is mission critical enough
To make a mad dash for the hab tonight
Using the rover's single supplemental oxygen.
The remaining two will face extraction by their crew in the morning.
Good luck. Godspeed. Stay safe.
- Shat daddy out. - Oh!
Now we gotta send somebody out of here.
- That's actually crazy. - Hold on, hold on.
So whoever leaves is mission critical.
I didn't come all this way for nothing.
I really would like to go all the way into the end.
I humbly feel like I was the mvp today.
I was the only person on my team
Who knew the order of the planets in the solar system.
I just don't think they could've done it without me.
I'm trying to make sure I show you
That I'm mission critical
Because I don't wanna go home.
I'm in this to the end.
Mish crit.
Okay, so who wanna be safe?
Marshawn: Now look. Check this out.
I'm gonna do the dash for the hab, right?
Tinashe: Okay, this really is in the middle of nowhere,
And we basically had to choose one of us
To go back to the hab and go back to safety
And leave the other two out there.
- So who-- - there's some oxygen--
Which one of us can run the fastest?
Duh.
- My slow-ass ass getting that-- - she got a big old head though.
- Look, so check it out. At the end of the day-- - then I'm going.
- You not. - Yes, I am! We can do the same thing!
- We can't though. - Why?
- Because you ain't me. - You're not even running far.
You're gonna go-- the jeep is right there.
Still-- okay, go ahead. Do your thing.
- Okay. - How do we communicate with you
To know how far you got and if you made it?
- You don't. - Or we just gonna be just out here?
- If he comes back, he made it. - If I come back in the morning,
I made it. If not, then just know
- I ate y'all tacos on-- - ( laughter )
You understand me?
Nah, but, man, for real, for real though.
Like, whoever leaves is mission critical.
- Porsha: Well, go ahead. - Do you wanna be safe?
- No, I don't wanna be safe. - All right, well, then sit your ass in this tent.
I'm with y'all. I'm in this with y'all.
- Go ahead. Go ahead. - Nah. I can't do it.
- Go ahead. - No.
- Tinashe? - Hmm.
Go on, do your thing, girl. Go get them tacos.
I did know the order of the planets.
- Marshawn: You did. - I'll go back.
Porsha: Tinashe, you ain't gotta get packed up that fast.
Then we were like, "maybe tinash-- tinash--"
She was dressed.
I have never seen that girl get dressed that fast, okay?
Already ready to go. I'm like, "wow!"
Look at how fast she put her outfit on though.
You were like, "maybe tinashe--"
- "yep. It's me." - I'm trying to save y'all!
She put it on backwards.
Look what she said, "and I did know the planets."
( both laughing )
Feels like they're not coming back.
Cat: Yeah, I don't know what to think either.
- It was so unclear. - I'm just freaking out a little bit.
It feels too abrupt to just lose
Three of our crewmembers right now.
But they're not here,
And william shatner's already gone to bed.
Like, this is real. Like, we're really doing this.
- ( alarm blaring ) - oh, ( bleep ).
Ai: Attention, celebronauts.
Oh, no. This can't be happening.
Crew arriving into the airlock.
Is this real? Oh, my god.
- Paul: What's going on? - They're back.
- Cat: They're back. - Holy ( bleep ). We get to see 'em?
- It's amazing. - Oh, my gosh.
Come on.
- Wow! - I'm back, baby!
- Oh, my god. - What happened? Did you get saved?
It's a long story. Let me put my stuff down.
- I'm gonna put my stuff down. - Come to the kitchen.
- Tinashe: Who did you save?
- Adam: William shatner. - I knew it.
- Adam: Yeah! - Tinashe: Now that shatty daddy is in the hab,
It's starting to feel like
There's the homestretch in sight.
And I don't know what's gonna be asked of us,
But I'm ready for it.
I did know the order of the planets.
Only one.
Shout-out, "blue's clues."
Look, it's already morning.
They had all night to come back and get us,
But they not coming back.
I ain't come this far to lay here and die.
Well, then do something.
Porsha: We have an oxygen tank.
Why don't use it, put it with our suits,
And keep walking?
- And walk where? - As far as we can go.
Have you looked around you?
- Porsha: You wanna try? - Just call uber.
- Huh? - Call uber.
Porsha: There is no uber. Get up!
When I realized that no one's coming for us,
That's when I decided that I would take some initiative
And walk us to the door.
Come on.
Come and face your elimination like a man.
( snores )
Should've never befriended you.
That's why I'm stuck out here with you.
I think in this moment, mars defeated marshawn!
You just did all that ( bleep ), and I'm ready before you.
Oh, my god.
I'm just done. I'm done.
All right. Whew.
- You good? - You ready?
Okay. Let's go.
We have done so much.
Like, we shouldn't have been in the bottom.
Honestly, I don't think it's fair
That there are new people deciding our fate.
That-- that doesn't sit well with me at all.
- ( alarm blaring ) - ai: Attention, celebronauts.
- Incoming crewmembers. - Adam: They're back.
Cat: Damn, this is crazy, isn't it?
Paul: So it all comes down to marshawn and porsha.
Porsha: This way.
Come on, put some pep in your step.
It's so hard to choose between the two
Because they both carry a lot of strengths.
Just keep walking forward.
This is the toughest one yet for me.
Ai: Oxygen at critical level.
( porsha sighs )
Marshawn: Get your ass home.
Porsha: Shut up!
- Marshawn: Okay, mama. - ( music playing )
Porsha: Here's the final moment.
Marshawn and I have done the work since day one.
Right here?
He is like my baby brother,
And we both wanna stay until the end.
But we know one of us is not gonna be walking through that door.
- ( sighs ) okay. - You ain't got no experience over here?
I really don't.
Porsha: There's only the one time I was in the bottom,
And we shouldn't have been in the bottom today.
Marshawn: Now that we got a smaller number,
The stakes is getting higher. Now it's like, "aw, ( bleep )."
- I don't wanna go home. - So we got some...
- Business. Yeah. - ...Painful stuff to do.
- Adam: Mm-hmm. - Shatner: Let's open up the comms, please.
- Hello? Hello, there. - Porsha: Hello.
This is your commander shatner inside.
Wait, is that really william shatner on the mic?
Oh! Shatty daddy, let us in.
- Please. - Come to the airlock.
Marshawn: I'm the biggest person here.
I know by far I'm the strongest person here.
You feel me? It's moreso like I'm gonna do what I need to do
In order to get done what needs to get done,
And I am mission critical.
- Here we come. - Aah! Yeah!
- When I got here... - Lance: The king.
...My expectations were to prove to myself
That my destiny is a little bit bigger than just earth.
- I am iyd commander. - All: What's iyd?
- "I'm yo' daddy." - mars is really my planet.
Push the ( bleep ) red button!
So, if somebody being here occupying, you feel me?
I want to take back what's rightfully mine.
- Say hello to my little friend. - ( cheering )
Yeah, that was some beast mode ( bleep ). There you go.
No matter where you take me, no matter where you put me,
- No matter what I put myself into... - Who's shaking it?
...You know, I'm not no quitter,
So once I start something, I need to finish it.
Feel good, baby. I done found paradise up this ( bleep ).
- ( humming ) - cat: Marshawn, do you copy?
( snoring )
And if y'all need me, just give me a hootie-hoo,
And I will be there for the team.
Porsha: I am here to be the last astronaut standing.
I want to take home the title,
And I can tell you right here and right now
There's no way I'm ready to go home.
- Look back on what you done-- - I think all of them should be on this side.
- Let's look at what all everybody done. - It's just us though.
How many missions you've done.
Porsha: Day one,
I was standing there, full glam,
In an astronaut outfit.
It's just so freaking cool.
( gasping )
I came here to be a part of the experiment from beginning to end.
Hold on. My feet, they're leaving the wall.
I wanna make my family proud.
- Arf, arf, arf, arf. - It's an alien. Aah!
I want them to know most of all that I did my best.
That's what's really important to me.
Nobody's giving up. I'm tired of people giving up.
Look, right here! Right here!
We got the dog secure!
- ( cheering ) - mission was a success.
That's what I'm talking about, team!
I always felt I was gonna be here at the end
Because I didn't come all this way for nothing.
( grunts )
I am in it to win it.
This one is knowledge.
They have to have knowledge of what we've been putting in.
Marshawn and I definitely have a brother/sister relationship,
But for one of us, this is over.
So, porsha, why are you mission critical?
'cause, I mean, I try my best every mission.
I do what I'm asked to do. I excel in it.
And I feel like I've done it with integrity.
Shatner: Okay.
Now, marshawn,
What's your appeal to us
Making you mission critical?
Ay, man,
Y'all said y'all love me.
- Are you guilt tripping us? - Make your appeal, marshawn!
- You're hanging by a wire. - Ay, man, look, man,
I'm mission critical 'cause when you ask me to do something
I do what I'm supposed to do, man.
That's simply what it is.
At the end of the day, man,
It's y'all decision to make that.
So you're throwing yourself on the mercy of the court here?
I ain't throwing myself on ( bleep ) 'cause I don't throw nothing but hands.
And as soon as I get to you,
We gonna find out how yours work.
Is that your appeal now then, marshawn?
- That is. - Oh, well, that's a really good one.
- Appreciate you. - Now what is mission critical
And who fits that definition?
I think you have to encompass leadership,
- Trust, hard work. - Yeah.
I personally think that porsha
Checks off more of those boxes than marshawn.
Porsha's contributed more to life here at the hab
When it comes to the cleaning and chores
And keeping everything together.
And also, on the missions, it's great to have that strength.
So I think porsha is the most mission critical.
- Wow, okay. - Let me keep thinking about it.
I have a couple of things I'm processing right now.
Tinashe: I think cat has been playing the game.
I've seen how she moves. I think she's very strategic.
She's the only person that I sense wants to win by any means necessary.
- When I think mission critical... - Yes.
...Like, okay, the plants cutting,
That's cool, the dishes-- but if my life is on the line
And we out here on a mission, I like marshawn.
Two votes for porsha.
One vote for marshawn.
I wanna hear.
I don't wanna be left in the dark.
I wanna hear every word
So I can run 'em down one by one.
- And I'm processing-- - you're about to make a critical--
Yeah, I'm gonna make a critical decision.
You know what's bad?
You don't wanna leave. I don't wanna leave.
Two votes for porsha.
One vote for marshawn.
- Okay, and I'm processing-- - you're about to make a critical--
Yeah, I'm gonna make a critical decision here.
I'm going to strategically set this up
For whatever works for me
Because I wanna be the last person standing on mars.
I wanna win this.
So if I was gonna pick one person
That is critical here in the hab
And critical-- who's done a great job out in the field...
( music playing )
...I'd have to say porsha.
Three votes for porsha, one vote for marshawn.
Okay, open the comms.
Porsha, marshawn, your crew has made a decision.
And you've been termed mission critical...
Porsha.
( cheers and applause )
( music continues )
My boy! I'm gonna miss you.
- ( laughs ) - mvp.
- We love you, marshawn. - Yeah, we love you, marshawn.
Ai: Marshawn, you are not mission critical.
Please leave the hab immediately.
- We're gonna miss you. - Ay, man, I'm gonna holler at y'all in a minute.
- Bye! - Love you.
( muttering )
Marshawn: In an experiment like this,
I'm gonna always be myself.
When I first came in, it was moreso like an opportunity
To test myself in a way that I haven't before.
It just so happened that it helped my process of growing.
I'm gonna just put it like this.
This mars ( bleep ) cool, but it's time to go.
Thank you.
How'd y'all come to that decision?
You were by far and above deserved it more.
You've been in it since day one, committed.
You've done-- all around a good friend,
- A good hab member, a good crewmember. - Yeah.
- On my weakest moment, it was you like, "let's go!" - well-- I know.
- And literally in mine, too. I'll never forget that. - Aww.
The og three and I definitely have a bond.
- From yesterday-- - you love me!
( both laughing )
We have spent 17 days here in this hab together.
We have been through so much.
And I genuinely feel like no one deserves to win more than we do.
We got some fruit and stuff. You want a banana or anything?
No, I'm good. I'm about to have some more tea.
Cat: Paul and I came in
In the middle of this experiment,
And I know for a fact
Paul and I will be bonded forever.
But porsha, tinashe, and adam
Had already formed a strong, strong alliance.
You know, there's only two of us,
There's three of them.
So we're outnumbered.
You know, we all gotta get some rest
Because it's gonna be a big, big day tomorrow.
I'm not gonna lie. When I am in a competition,
There's something that clicks in my brain.
I'll do what it takes to get to the finish line.
- Shatner: Next time... - There's five of you.
We're going to reduce that five to three of you
- And then one. - There's another twist.
Some people are gonna get extracted today.
You got this.
I want to be the brightest star.
Go, go, go, go!
- Porsha: I wanna win. - I'm on your left!
- Look at her drive! Wow! - When it comes to competition, I'm a definite fighter.
Shatner: The first one to broadcast their message
Is brightest star in the galaxy!
