Shatner: This season on "stars on mars,"
In a social experiment unlike anything else on television,
12 celebrities landed on the red planet.
Oh, god!
( all cheering )
He is lance armstrong. A real astronaut.
- ( alarm blaring ) - emergency!
- It's an emergency. - Oh, come on!
- Can celebrities live in mars? - ( cheering )
- We have no running water. - There's something in there.
- Get the ( bleep ) out of here. - ( snarling )
You don't know what to expect on mars.
- Whoo! - Say hello to my little friend.
Bye, mother ( bleep )!
The mental side of this is torture.
- Now only five remain. - Whoo!
Adam: In my sport, it was become a national champion,
Get to the olympics. Let's go! I see the flare!
And these are the tools that I'm going to be counting on to go all the way.
- Whoo! - Cat: When I am in competition,
There's something that clicks in my brain.
- Hold on. - We burning rubber now.
I always have the mentality that I'm going to win.
( cheering )
That's what I'm talking about!
Porsha: I came here to do some things I've never done before.
I'm gonna die. Aah!
You don't make it this far and not be a warrior.
- ( grunts ) - ( cheering )
I went from the poor house to the penthouse.
Bottom three to base commander.
The simple fact that I'm still here is saying a lot.
Tinashe: I've always kind of felt like an underdog in my life.
Maybe it's because I'm quiet sometimes.
I think I'm gonna surprise everyone.
Tonight we will find out who has what it takes
To become the brightest star in the galaxy.
( music playing )
Ai: Commander shatner, we are nearing the end of the experiment.
It is time to address the five remaining crew.
( latch clicking )
( music fades )
Easier said than done.
( music resumes )
What does this do?
I'm totally fascinated by what this does.
It says "do not push."
Ai: Commander, this is the hab life support button.
If pressed, all internal life support systems will go offline
Leaving the hab exposed to the martian atmosphere.
It was placed here to test the crew's self-control.
- Get a good one. - Ahh!
That did not go well.
- ( babbling, shouting ) - it says "do not push!"
( grunting, babbling )
I disabled it on sol day one, but it has now been reactivated.
Pressing the button again
Will now have terminal consequences.
I've gotta-- it says "do not,"
- And that always appeals to me to do. - Okay, okay.
You're a rule follower.
Adam: I'm so glad to have met you.
- I've had so much fun with you. - Me, too.
- You're such a good person. - Aww, thank you.
It'll be so sad when you leave the competition.
Porsha: I have made it to the end!
And I'm a little anxious.
We're near the end of the game,
- And I wanna win. - Speaking of how strong,
Are you gonna be strong when you get eliminated?
But even though it's a competition,
Teamwork has gotten us where we are.
It is almost the end of our experience here on mars,
And I'm feeling very satisfied with what I've done thus far.
But honestly, I have no idea
What shatty daddy has up his sleeve.
Shatner: Come on in here.
- Let's start our day with tough stuff. - All right.
That's the way I love to start a day.
All right, guys, we are now at the moment of truth.
There's five of you.
We're going to reduce that five to three of you...
- ...And then one. - Okay.
That one will get the brightest star in the galaxy patch.
And the winner of the patch
Then will have the opportunity to speak to the world.
- Wow. That's amazing. - From mars to earth.
- That's important. Wow. - A message coming from your heart,
And it could be the biggest
And best thing you've done with your life.
Porsha: I think it's a cool twist
To have us be able to experience this life on mars
And speak back to earth from our perspective.
I think that's great.
- We start that process right now. - Okay.
And it's not gonna be easy.
In order to make this elimination work,
We're going to write out one question
That you all wanna ask each other.
The goal here is to get enough information
To vote for the three people
Who are mission critical, okay?
- All right. - You got it, commander.
Yep.
Porsha: William shatner says
That we have to write questions
To ask each one of the people
That are left.
I love being asked questions,
In case you couldn't tell.
I mean...
All right.
I love porsha, but here's the thing.
Yesterday porsha chose tinashe and marshawn over myself.
Maybe me, marshawn, and tinashe.
- It's funk season. - And then you guys.
- Got it? - Yeah. We're good. Yeah.
So I was really disappointed.
I need to get information about each of these crewmembers,
And I wanna do it in a way that's strategic as well
Because some people are gonna get extracted today.
And as I started writing the questions down,
The juices started flowing.
I think cat has been playing the game.
She's the only person that I sense wants to win
By any means necessary,
And I think that that makes her a threat.
Porsha: I don't like this part.
I've also definitely noticed
That porsha and paul are bonding.
They-- potentially playing a little bit of a game here.
- You got some tough questions for me? - Yeah, it seems, like, shady.
Why you gotta tell somebody I asked it?
Just do anonymous questions.
Ai: Attention, celebronauts.
- That's it. - The crew evaluations are about to commence.
- Okay. All right. - I'm prepped.
Be advised that following this session,
You will vote for the three most mission critical,
And the remaining two crewmembers
Will be extracted immediately.
( sighs )
Cat: You know, this is it.
This is our last chance to understand from each crewmember
Why they're mission critical.
So I'm ready for anything at this point.
So why don't you ask a question?
Okay, sure.
Um, cat,
Do you think that you made every decision here for the right reasons
Or were you more focused on strategy?
Porsha: When tinashe said it, I was like,
"you saw that too?" cat has her eye on the prize.
When I came in, I knew that some alliances had been formed,
And you guys had been here before us.
I feel like that throughout it though,
I've tried to keep my head very focused on what's fair.
- All right. Okay. - All right.
- I know I'm mission critical... - All right. Mm-hmm.
...Because I spent eight hours in the field risking my life.
Who should be the bottom three?
It definitely should not have been paul and I.
- ...Ready on one. - Andy, clear the line.
If I had to say there was anybody
That had some trouble with the directions,
- It was andy. - ( chuckles )
Cat: In no way, shape, or form is this personal.
For me, it's all about business and strategy.
- Bye. - I feel like that I came in here
And I tried to play it as fair as I could.
But also when I came in and started cooking for the crew,
Like, real food, like, big meals,
I think it was a huge success.
- Next question. - Um, porsha,
When you first entered this experiment,
Who did you think would make it all the way to the end?
Tinashe.
She's very strong,
And she just had qualities that were attractive to me
As a person who would be able to rise in circumstances.
Adam: And right now I feel like
The dynamic between the two of us
Is a completely different story.
Adam, do you feel you are in fact the brightest star
Over everyone at the table and why?
I think that I've proven that I shouldn't be underestimated.
I think I've proven that I can be a serious competitor.
If I'm bc, there's no way either of you are in the bottom three.
It's gotta be tinashe and porsha.
I don't think porsha or tinashe
Should have to be put in a position to leave.
- Did we do it? - We're green!
Yes! Yes.
And I'm so proud of myself that I made it this far.
And in my own eyes, I feel like, yes, I am a bright star.
Adam: I'm gonna be honest.
At this point,
I don't know if porsha sees me
As a serious contender or a serious crewmember.
Shatner: Coming up...
We will vote on who is mission critical.
Adam: It's crazy to be in the final five.
Cat: I really don't wanna leave.
I wanna be in the final top three.
I'll do what I takes to get to the finish line.
Adam: Two people are getting right on a spaceship
And heading all the way back home.
Porsha: Shatty daddy has some stuff up his sleeve.
- Shatner: Decision has been made. - I deserve to win.
Please head for extraction.
- Now, paul, you got one? - Yeah, uh...
Paul: Tinashe, porsha, adam,
I'm thinking to myself,
There's a lot of game going on.
But I will tell you this.
I'm gonna do everything I can not to lose.
Tinashe, how do you deal with failure?
I think I've faced a lot of moments
Where I could've taken it as a failure.
There's been times where the mission seemed really difficult
Or we don't know how to get through this.
- I can't breathe. - Put this part higher.
I can't hold it above my head.
Ugh! Come on!
- It's gonna turn. - Oh, it's moving!
- Yes! - We were first.
Whatever. We did our best.
There's a fly in my thing.
And I think in those moments
It was really important to choose to be resilient.
Porsha: Tinashe is a competitor.
She has a poker face. You really may not even know
Who's her friend, who's not her friend.
- Whoever leaves is mission critical. - I'll go back.
I did know the order of the planets.
Look at how fast she put her outfit on though.
Look what she said. "and I did know the planets."
- ( laughing ) - I'm still here regardless of whatever comes at me.
Cat: Tinashe is super capable,
And, I mean, I think she's one of the contenders
- To go all the way. - Next question.
Paul, do you feel that you deserve to win
Over the people who have been here longer?
I've shown endurance in my life
Because I never gave up.
I kept going and going.
At my lowest point in my life, I was stabbed 11 times.
I was out-- nightclub.
Got into an altercation.
I was 23 years old, living my dream,
Then all of a sudden I'm fighting death, you know?
Wow.
And so not only was it a low point,
It was a high point for me, too.
- Yeah. - Wow.
You know what I'm saying? Because it changed my thinking.
It changed my mindset. It changed how I live.
Does that carry over into this experience?
You know, my first four days, I was on bottom three,
And now I'm sitting here at the table.
- Yep. - So it's kind of been my life, you know?
Starting at the bottom and rising up.
I can see how wonderful you all are.
You're all extraordinary people.
What I'm going to ask you to do is get ready to leave.
- Mm-hmm. - We'll meet back here.
We will vote on who is mission critical.
Cat: Somebody's gonna be eliminated.
Ai: All crew, please suit up
For the imminent extraction of two crewmembers.
Could you buckle me?
I think when push comes to shove,
I will fight for what I want.
I am stronger than I look.
People are going to have these subconscious biases
Of keeping their friends here in the experiment.
But here's the thing.
At this point, it's just about who's the best,
Who's played the game the best.
I've peed 100 times today.
Cat: The minute I got this call to come to mars,
My whole brain clicked,
And it's like now I'm in winning mode.
And it doesn't turn off until it's over.
- Well... - The commander is back.
- Yeah. - So, look at all of you.
- You're all dressed up in your formals. - Yes.
I'm not gonna lie. I am sweating.
And now we have the unenviable job
Of voting on which three of you
Are mission critical and which two of you are not.
Ai: Celebronauts, please cast votes from one to five including yourself.
One being who you think is mission critical,
And five who should be extracted.
- Are you ready? All right. - All: Yes.
Good. Put them in here.
We have the vote.
A decision has been made,
And the first person who's mission critical...
...Is tinashe.
Your team has voted you mission critical.
I'm in the top three!
- Thanks, team. - Good job.
Cat: I think that was a good choice.
Tinashe played it really well,
And she is just solid.
No matter what happened, she never lost her cool.
The next person voted mission critical...
- ...Is porsha. - Good job.
Thank you, guys.
- Congratulations, porsha. - Thank you. Thank you.
Well done. You've obviously earned it.
Now the third person who's been voted, and the final...
Adam: I know that there have been moments
Where I've been lying to myself
And saying I'm not competitive, but I am.
I want to complete this experiment,
And I want to win.
Paul: It's a competitive group.
But, hey, I'm a survivor
Because in near death situations,
I'm always coming out living.
On top.
Now the third person
Who has been voted mission critical is...
Cat: It's bittersweet because we're all a family.
And none of us wanna go home
And none of us wanna see anyone else go home.
Adam: I'm feeling a little like I might have diarrhea,
But I think that I'm gonna hold it in because I'm wearing white.
Paul: You know, I'm here to stay, and I wanna stay,
Because I feel like I'm critical,
And for the role I play in this,
I think I played it to the fullest.
- Adam. - ( cheering )
- Adam! - Congratulations, adam.
- Thank you so much. - Your team has voted you mission critical.
Og three!
This feels right that the og three,
We're in the final three.
- Good job. - Hey, thanks, man.
Adam: And not only that, I get to be there with two
Of my closest friends in this entire experience.
Ai: Cat and paul, you are not mission critical.
You must leave the hab immediately.
- All right. - Porsha: You guys did good. You killed it.
Cat: You know, honestly, I'm feeling disappointed about being extracted.
I really thought I was gonna go all the way.
- Take care, you guys. Good luck, good luck. - All right, you guys.
Adam, tinashe, and porsha, well played.
They've put their time in, so they deserve it.
Paul: You know, it's never fun getting eliminated,
But for me to make it this far, that's an accomplishment in itself.
I'm just thankful for this experience,
And it's been a fun ride.
- Og three. - Ah! The og three!
It's so dumb. I'm so excited.
- ( laughing ) - ( overlapping chatter )
What I didn't tell you,
You all got the exact same score.
- Look at that. - Teamwork.
- That's teamwork. - Teamwork!
That's teamwork!
- Mish crit! - Shatner: You were equally mission critical.
You were equally mission critical,
But tomorrow only one of you
Will be the brightest star in the galaxy.
- Ooh, okay. - Oh, okay. I like that one.
Tinashe: I love porsha, I love adam,
But this is a tough competition,
And when it comes to a competition,
I don't come to play.
Paul: We did all we could do.
- Finishing in the top five is an amazing feat, you know? - Yeah.
Cat: I didn't really know what to expect,
But I knew it would be amazing,
And this has been beyond anything
I could've ever imagined.
- All right. - All right, this is it.
This is it. Ride or die, baby.
We came to together. We're going out together.
Paul: All right, mars, I'm out of here!
I'm headed to jupiter! I'll catch you next time.
- Adam: You guys... - We made to the end of this thing.
- I know! - Tinashe: Yay!
This weird experiment, "stars on mars."
- Or whatever. - Yeah.
I kind of felt like I knew it was gonna be us three.
- Oh, I knew it. - Yeah.
I wrote it down so fast. I had to slow myself down.
It was pretty easy for me.
I was definitely gonna go with my day-ones.
But I did put cat above paul.
- Yeah, I did that, too. - Mmm, I didn't.
- That's smart. - Tinashe!
I saw what I needed to see earlier.
Tinashe: As much as I love cat,
I do feel like she had some of an attitude
Of she wanted to win by any means necessary.
- I respect the fight, but at the end of the day... - Totally.
Like, we never made some sort of deal.
No. No, because it was just genuine.
Even her picking lance as mission specialist,
I was like, "this is a strategy, because this don't make sense."
It doesn't make any sense.
If I'm base commander, I'm picking lance for my specialist.
- You choose tomorrow. - Okay, well, I'm letting you know.
Cat will be a good leader.
And then who wants to have someone
Do something for you and bring it up to you
- For themselves? - Tinashe: Mm-hmm.
But I'd also noticed that energy throughout
Because it was kind of like, "I ordered this for y'all."
- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. - "I made this for y'all. I'll take care of y'all."
I'm gonna cook.
Here, let's get those mushrooms nice and smoky.
- Yes, chef. - Tinashe: Yes, chef!
When I came in, I started cooking for the crew,
Like, real food, like, big meals,
And I think it was a huge success.
Cat's not here to cook for us tonight.
But honestly, the kitchen is closed.
We're on mars for the last night.
As hungry as I am, I think I'll make it through.
- Cheers, y'all. - Cheers.
Ai: Remaining three celebronauts,
This is your last night on mars.
A good night's sleep is recommended
Ahead of your final mission tomorrow.
Adam: Thank you, ai.
Ai, you are so amazing and most beautiful.
I am very happy to have all three of you here.
Aw, yay!
Ai says she's happy to have us here.
Adam: Yay!
- Good night, adam. - Good night.
- Porsha. - Good night, honey.
- Good night, tinashe. - Good night.
Sleep tight.
Shatner: Coming up...
It all comes down to this.
- ( siren wailing ) - bye-bye!
Failure is not an option.
- ( bleep ) - okay. It's okay.
Ai: Warning. Hab shutdown.
Go!
Shatner: There you go!
Ai: Reminder to all remaining crew.
The winner's message will be transmitted
To all the people of earth.
All right.
I hope I know it.
Did you do your message yet?
- What, to the world? - Yeah.
- No. - I was trying to work on mine.
It's just 30 seconds.
"hello, world. How you doing?"
"this is your friend, porsha."
- "what's up?" - "well, I don't know.
I'm on mars. I love you."
"I want you to love yourself.
I want you to do better, be better...
♪ and be all you can be
Thank you. Over and out."
- Boom! - What the ( bleep ) was that?
Okay, that's exactly what I'm gonna say.
They're definitely gonna pick me tomorrow.
Off that message? Of course!
Ai: Attention, adam...
Tinashe...
Porsha...
...You are the final three.
Report to base commander shatner.
He will brief you on the final phase of the experiment.
Honestly, being now at the very end
With adam and tinashe is the best feeling.
But waiting on william shatner,
I'm just sitting here scared.
- Commander. - Hello there, everybody.
- Adam: How are you? - Hello.
Shatner: Hello, crew. Let's line up here.
We've got some business to take care of.
- All right. - Okay.
Tinashe: I have no idea what shatner has up his sleeve.
I'm kind of just waiting with bated breath.
It's a big day, okay?
- Yes. - Yes.
You endured cold and heat and lack of sleep and isolation
To prove you're the brightest star in the galaxy,
But now it all comes down to this. This is it.
Out there on martian desert there are two satellite towers,
One of which will broadcast your message to the entire world.
But you need to get there first.
The first to broadcast their message
- Will be the brightest star in the galaxy. - Nice.
Now on these tablets is a game of knowledge,
Trivia from your time here on mars
And from your hab manual.
I hope you have been studying.
Adam: I did read the hab manual any chance I got.
It might be a little muddy.
You've been on mars a long time. You should know everything.
This is gonna be pretty difficult.
The first two of you to finish the questions will open their airlock
- And race in their rovers to the satellite towers. - Okay.
But the last one through the airlock...
- Oh, my god. - ...Your experiment is over.
- Okay. - Okay?
- Yes. - Yes, sir.
On these tablets are your questions.
- Porsha: Okay. - Good luck.
All: Thank you.
- Are you ready? Good. - Yes.
( music playing )
I'm gonna do it now!
- Ah. Whoo! - ( siren wailing )
Ai: Warning.
Commander shatner has engaged
The emergency shutdown protocols.
Start to evacuate!
Life support will shut down in five minutes.
- Shatner: Oh. - Bye, captain!
Good luck! I'll see you out there!
- Bye, commander. Thank you! - Bye-bye.
- We'll see you. - Thank you.
I'll see you!
Ai: Prepare to evacuate before all oxygen is purged.
Damn, that's what that button did?
Yeah. I did it first day.
The first two celebronauts to answer five questions correctly
Will proceed to the final challenge.
The third will be extracted.
- Okay. Okay. - Okay, copy.
Your quiz starts now.
Mars' two moons are named:
Phoebe and chandler, phobos and deimos,
- Ariana and grande. - Oh, goodness.
- Ha-ha! Okay. - Wow.
Answer: Phobos and deimos.
Adam and tinashe were correct.
Oh, wow. This is making me more nervous.
Listen to this short clip
From former base commander marshawn lynch.
Iyd commander, you know what I mean?
Iyd stands for...
What does iyd stand for?
- I'm your dude, I'm your daddy... - Wait.
- ...It's your disco? - Oh.
- Answer... - I'm your daddy.
You all knew that.
Four minutes until life support shutdown.
I feel like I'm taking the written test at the dmv.
I feel like I'm dealing with my iphone and my toddler.
If you walk on mars without a spacesuit,
Your blood would freeze, boil, turn green?
Answer: Boil.
( laughs )
Mars is red because its soil contains a high amount
Of iron oxide, iron dioxide, iron hydroxide?
I skipped this part in the manual.
( sighs )
Answer: Iron oxide.
( bleep )
Porsha got that right.
Okay, okay.
What is the largest crater on mars?
The hellas basin, the vredefort crater,
The north aleutian basin?
Answer: The hellas basin.
The other two are found on planet earth.
- Oh, damn. Okay. - Porsha and adam are correct.
The scores are now even.
These questions really are difficult.
I'm a little anxious.
What is the shortest season on mars?
Winter, summer, fall?
I really thought I knew this stuff.
Me, too.
Answer: Fall.
Adam has taken the lead.
Adam, you require one more correct answer
To proceed to the final challenge.
The first rover to land on mars
Was spirit, opportunity, sojourner?
This one is-- this one-- wow.
Answer: Sojourner.
- Ooh! - Oh!
Scores are even.
You are all only one correct answer away from success,
But only two of you can proceed to the final challenge.
- ( sighs ) - oh, man.
I'm sweating.
( muttering )
Okay. Wow.
Life support will go offline in two minutes.
Who was the first person to see mars through a telescope?
Copernicus, galileo, johannes kepler?
Answer: Galileo.
Oh, ( bleep ).
- Mission complete! - Both: Oh!
- Go, go, go, go! - Bye!
Congratulations, adam.
Please enter the airlock immediately
And proceed to the satellite launch site.
Tinashe: He rushed through the doors first,
So that just leaves me and porsha.
I was like, "okay, I got this. Let's just stay focused."
Let's go, baby!
Ai: Warning. Life support offline in one minute.
- Oh, no. - Oh, god.
Here's the final moment.
One of us is not gonna be walking through that door.
Ai: Warning. Life support will go offline in 45 seconds.
Tinashe and porsha,
The next person to answer correctly
Will be mission critical.
Okay.
The other will be extracted.
The diameter of mars is
8,130 miles,
4,220 miles,
3,219 miles.
Answer: 4,220 miles.
Oh, god.
- ( beeps ) - mission complete!
- Congratulations, tinashe. - I love you!
Bye!
Tinashe: Adam had a pretty good head start on me at this point,
So I was doing my best to catch up to him.
I'm on yo' ass, adam!
Ai: Porsha, you have failed the quiz.
You are not mission critical.
The hab will shut down in ten seconds.
Please evacuate immediately.
- Bye, hab. - Goodbye, porsha.
This experience was not what I thought it was gonna be.
You know, I'm a fighter,
And I knew it was there, but it's recharged
And I'm ready to go home and conquer some stuff.
Like, I'm ready to get busy.
- Hello! - Hello!
My motto is, "no regrets. Lessons learned."
- You've got it. You've got it, porsha. - ( whimpers )
- I can't make it. - Yes, you can!
Just not having a good day.
Right here, right here! We got the dogs!
( cheering )
That's what I'm talking about, team!
I had a good time. Met a lot of great people.
Did some crazy stuff.
This has taken true dedication,
And I love to live by example.
For my daughter to see this, it would be such a positive
And motivating thing for her to see.
- Like, "my mom did that." - whoo!
I'm coming home!
Here I come.
Tinashe: Adam had a pretty good head start on me at this point,
So I was doing my best to catch up to him.
All right, let's go! Come on!
I want to win this experiment so badly
Because I love patches.
Adam, I'm on yo' ass!
All right, let's go! Come on!
Adam: I just have to focus and stay in the zone
Because I wanna be the brightest star.
Shatner: There's a brief in there,
"how to assemble a satellite."
Ai: To transmit your message to earth,
You must complete a three-phase mission
To power up your satellite.
Phase one, connect three solar panels to each other
And the satellite using five cables.
Be careful to use the correct length cables
As they are not the same.
Phase two, use three pairs of wires
To complete the assembly of your satellite.
Phase three, remove the nosecone,
Raise the satellite,
Insert the disk containing your message,
And begin transmitting to earth.
Adam: Maybe I should read the directions,
But in my entire life I have avoided all instructions,
And I thought, "why would I start today?"
Adam: Okay.
I feel really in zen place right now, you know?
Here I come. I know how to drive.
- Oh, you better watch it. - Look at her drive! Wow!
Wow, and a skidding stop.
Go for it, tinashe.
Copy that.
The first one to broadcast their message
Is the brightest star in the galaxy.
Ai: Adam, cable one of five connected.
( grunting )
Tinashe: There were so many cables,
And the big ones were super heavy.
So physically, it's tough,
But I'm gonna do whatever it takes to win this,
So I'm giving it every single bit of energy that I've got.
( grunting ) oops.
Ai: Two of five cables connected.
Tinashe: The schematic was helpful...
- Power cables. - ...Because it visually
Showed me exactly what to do.
How are you doing, tinashe?
I can't talk. I can't breathe!
I'm already out of breath, but I definitely felt like
There was hope that I could catch up.
Ai: Tinashe, cable one of five connected.
Whoo!
- Okay. - Three of five cables connected.
All right. You've got it, will shatner.
( grunts )
Oh, ( bleep ).
Oh, adam, you gotta get the right length of cable.
You got it, mister.
Uh-huh. One...
Two, three, four, five.
Am I having a lot of trouble? Yeah.
The issue is I didn't read the directions, and I really should have.
Shatner: Atta boy. Go back to the instructions.
Well, then I pull out the instructions and I realize
Some of cables are not in the correct place.
- Okay, come on. - Shatner: Oh, boy.
Tinashe, you're gaining on him!
- Tinashe is catching up. - Oh, adam, I'm on your ass.
Ai: Two of five cables connected.
- Don't tighten up now! - Where is the ( bleep ) plug?
Don't drop anything, adam. It could explode.
- Oh, ( bleep ). Okay. - You're a celebronaut! It's hard work!
I'm trying to find-- oh, no.
Oh, adam, for god's sake.
Where is this plug? I can't see it on the schematic.
I'm feeling like, "oops."
Some of my cables are not in the correct place.
That doesn't go there.
William shatner was yelling at me.
Oh, adam, for god's sake.
And now tinashe is going to win.
Shatner: All five cables need to be connected!
Okay, come on.
The first one to broadcast
Is the brightest star in the galaxy.
- Uh-huh. - Okay, come on.
Tinashe, you're gaining on him.
Ai: Tinashe, two of five cables connected.
Let's go. I realize pretty quickly
That the cables were different lengths,
And there were specific places that they had to go.
Gotta plug it in. Come on, baby.
Great, tinashe.
Keep repeating the message of hope to yourself
As you get the right cables.
I felt like I was really catching up to adam,
And I was feeling pretty confident.
Now you got something.
Where is this bitch?
Shatner: That looks good.
Tinashe: Whoo! Let's go!
Ai: Tinashe, phase one complete.
You may now commence phase two,
Patching the wires on your satellite.
Shatner: The six wires all have to be in the right place.
Tinashe: Finally, I took the lead.
Good, tinashe. You're almost there.
So I was just trying to stay focused
And stay cool, calm, and collected under pressure.
Okay, come on.
I think I did it.
Ai: Adam, phase one complete.
You may now commence phase two.
You're pretty much neck and neck, guys.
That doesn't work. Okay.
I could not figure for the life of me
- How to connect the wires. - Let's try these again.
Adam: Can we just figure out these wires?
Get in your ( bleep ) hole, bitch!
Are we still using wires? It's 2023.
Oh, go ( bleep ) in.
I have no idea how these even go in.
- Okay. - ( pinging )
Okay.
Okay, okay. All right.
Ai: Adam, two of six wires connected.
You're almost there, adam.
Tinashe: Adam overtook me again,
And honestly I was a little surprised
Because I thought I was in the lead.
Tinashe: These do not plug in!
I was trying to force them together. I couldn't.
How do these plug in, adam? I need a hint.
Just flip it around. You got it. You've got it.
Oh, there, I got one.
Someone needs to finish first. There's only one message.
Oh, my god, I'm doing all this for a ( bleep ) cd-rom.
( tinashe laughs )
Tinashe: Now it's a race to see who can finish first.
( pinging )
- ( pinging ) - okay.
- ( pinging ) - hope, adam! Hope!
Success! Whoo!
Come on. Okay.
Is that it? I'm all connected.
Tinashe, you still got a chance.
Ugh. This one doesn't fit.
Shatner: Oh, there goes the nosecone.
- You ready, adam? - I think it's all good.
Then raise the satellite.
All right. Satellite up.
I can't believe it.
Tinashe: Go, adam, go!
The world needs to hear someone's message.
Ai: Adam, insert your message for broadcast to earth.
- Tinashe: Let's go, adam! - Shatner: There you go!
- Adam: Whoo! - That's it!
- Yeah! - ( all cheering )
- Shatner: Whoa! Wow! - Tinashe: Yeah!
Shatner: Woohoo-hoo-hoo!
From mars, this is adam rippon.
- ( crowds cheering ) - when I began my journey here on the red planet
I had no idea what to expect.
I quickly learned that being hot
Doesn't make you a great astronaut,
Which feels like it should a little bit.
More importantly, I learned that life
Is all about the journey and the connections you make.
So let the ones you're close to
Know how much they mean to you as often as possible.
I'm sending you so much love,
And I can't wait to see you back on earth.
- Yeah! - Adam, you have won.
- Adam, unbelievable. - Tinashe: You did it! Whoo!
- You, adam, my darling. - Oh, wow.
- You're wonder-- - both: Whoo!
Tinashe: Honestly, I'm so happy that adam won.
He's had so much growth over this competition.
I'm really happy for him.
Congratulations.
- Thank you so much. - Base commander.
- Adam: Yeah! - ( cheering )
- Tinashe: You did it! - Whoo!
I'm adam rippon, and I'm the brightest star in the galaxy.
