The host reveals the exes format, the prize of 250k, and how eliminations every five days will affect the final decision.

MrBeast pits six exes against each other in a 30-day island dating game to win Ashley’s trust and a $250,000 prize (with twists and money-on-the-line moments).

Summary

MrBeast’s Survive 30 Days On An Island With Your Ex sprawls into a high-stakes social experiment. Ashley Nicole Moore returns to a tropical camp where six ex-boyfriends compete to win her back, with the prize split or stolen depending on her final choice. The show mixes strategy, flirting, and arrange-the-lottery-style twists, like a Challenge Island date night and a 50K box reveal that can alter the final pot. Throughout the days, contestants jockey for Ashley’s trust while performing challenges, from a sand-dig race to a puzzle-relay on the water, all while filming the emotional arc of relationships past and present. Danny, Derrick, Gary, Logan, Mitch, and Derrick oscillate between humor and manipulation as they test what it takes to stay in Ashley’s good graces. The finale pivots on a heart-themed hammer smash: either split the money with Ashley or steal it, creating a dramatic reset to the final days. By the end, the editors lean into loyalty, trust, and the messy psychology of “winning” love against a life-changing payoff. The video blends real-time strategy with over-the-top game-show energy, and it leaves viewers weighing whether the $250K is worth the personal cost or the dramatic payoff.

Take off your blindfolds! Ashley, these are your six ex-boyfriends. OHHHH!! No WAAYY!! And the last ex standing by winning her back over will win two hundred fifty thousand dollars. Um, well, uhhh… anything you wanna say to them? I have no words. Heh haa! HAHA HA HA! Let's head on over to the camp. I invited you to my birthday. I'm a little sad you didn't come. WHOAAA! I was busy. Did she go to your guys's birthday parties? Huh haha ha haa Because these guys are going to be living on a tropical island with literally everything you could possibly need... This challenge is not about endurance. It's to win her back over and be the last one here. ahHHHhhhh… Every five days, Ashley is gonna send one of you home, and whoever is left at the end will be left with a crucial decision. Split the prize pool with Ashley, or steal the entire prize pool. Mhmm… That's all!! Have fun! Hah HAHA! For the next 30 days, I don't think Ashley will have to lift a finger unless she wants to. No, we gotta set up the hammock for her. Gotta be the first one to do something. Just gonna sit over here in the shade. These boys are gonna do everything. I'm Ashley. I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. Came here as an opportunity to have some fun. I'm just looking to see where these relationships go and to enjoy my time here. Here you go, my princess, my queen. Obviously, I have a different relationship with each one of the boys. There's a romantic connection with Mitchell. Happy to be here? No!! Heh, no… There's some of the other boys that I will flirt with. And then there's some of the other boys that I'm just friends with. I have an idea of who needs to go, but we'll see what happens. The point of this experiment isn't survival. It's to win Ashley over and convince her you can be trusted. I don't want to say I don't trust people… but they're gonna have to earn it. Somebody like me-- Play it nice, smooth, and be the genuine friend that she can trust to share the money. Or maybe not share the money. Ooh, Gary! Ahahaa! We're great friends at the end of the day, but I'm here to win. This is a business transaction. And with everyone motivated to win Ashley over, they were doing everything they could to impress her. Look at Danny hard at work! I just keep looking around. I'm like, this can't be real. While some of the boys seem to be winning Ashley over... Ashley, will you go out to the beach and teach me yoga? Yes. Taking a moment here to set an intention for your day. others were playing hard to get. So do you actually love me or what? No. You're too old for me. Jake, shut UP. Hee heee! Which might not have been the best strategy. How was the first day, everybody? It's been GOOD! Pretty good, pretty good. Damn good! How are we picking who goes home on Day 5? This is gonna be hard. Nothing's definitive. No one's on the chopping block fully yet? I have noticed you really seem to like Mitchell, though. I don't know what it is, I just do. There's so many variables here. There are variables. Luckily, she has 29 days to figure it out. It's Day 3. I feel like I'm still adjusting that this is, like, real life. It's really happening. And I'm still just enjoying time here. And all her exes wanted to keep it that way, because they knew that by treating her like a princess she would keep them around. Get Ashley some good cold water!! It's the little things that's gonna matter in the long run. Make sure nothing happen to Ashley. If a bear come out, gotta deal with me. Are you doing your makeup and stuff in here, too? You don't need to. Your skin's flawless. Thanks, Danny. Danny and Mitchell are, like, the kings of the campsite. Very impressed. It IS cool down here!! Good job, Danny! Ash, I got this conch shell for you, so you always remember me. Awwhh, thank youuu! It's beautiful. Ashley is gonna get some nice little earrings to kind of ease my way into the likelihood of winning this whole thing. Very natural earrings here for ya, Ash. DANNY!! They're beautifuulll!! TUHH! Y'all are cooked. Ughh, this makes my heart so happyyyy. Tuh huh ha! Ashley's gonna have to make the first elimination, and as of now, I have no idea how she's gonna decide. Elimination is looming. I feel like I need to have some conversations today, really narrow it down to see who needs to… tssst! So, like, if you had to pick someone to go to the end, who would you pick? I'd I pick you, Ashley. Awwhh… Oh-ho! I should've thought of that. Haha heh heh! I think Ashley's a little bit more locked in. I think it's hitting her a little bit more, that "Gotta figure it out. Who do I feel I can trust?" Do you really think any guys here would not split the money with you? I low key think Mitchell would steal it all. Mmmm… Yeah, I'm not trying to play this with feelings. She doesn't trust me. She knows how my mind works. To be honest with you, I don't really care. We're just gonna vibe. We're gonna vibe or we're not. We're gonna grow apart, and that's completely fine. I do want a chance to be able to win that money. ALL 250K. 'Cuz if I get to that point, probably gonna take it. Just 'cuz you gotta do what you gotta do. Good night. Hufff… Love you so muuuch. Oh… I thought I was the love of your life. I don't think that's ever crossed my mind. Yeah, it's true. You're too old for me. Oh ho ho ho ho!!! It's the end of Day 4. I think I have my decision made, so... On to bigger and better things! Ashley, obviously, stand behind the hammer. Gentlemen, stand behind a heart. Every five days, Ashley is going to be smashing one of your hearts, sending you home with nothing. But whichever one of you is here last will get to decide, do you steal the entire prize pool? Or do you split it with Ashley? What are we thinkin'? They're all great. I'm having a good time. Can't just keep 'em all here? I noticed you seem to like Mitchell a little more. Pffffttt!!! ahhHHH! A little more flirty with him, but it doesn't mean I don't love the rest. And on the other side of it, I've noticed Jake… hasn't… You know? You know, if I had to pick which one I don't trust, it'd probably be Jake. YeeAHHH! No, you're not supposed to clap. That means she's probably about to eliminate you. Dang it. I'm sorry. Ashley, you want to grab the hammer? Guys, I'm so nervous. I have, like, no hand-eye coordination. She might hit Jake. Hehhh… Haha! waaAHHHH!! OHH! Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure. Bye, Jaaake! I'll miss you!! Not really, but-- WOO-HOOO! Then there was five. You see that one comin'? From a mile away. Whaaat? You guys know there's another one in five days, right? Yeah… Yeah, he said that, I think. Yeah… One step closer to 250K. And to help Ashley make her next decision, she decided to make the boys compete. I'm gonna make you guys race. Tuhh! Who's comin' in second? ON YOUR MARKS… GET SET… GO! huff, huff, huff… Yeah. Cook it. Gary's cookin'… I still really don't know who I want to send home next, so I think this little challenge situation will help me figure that out. Or is it for me to just watch some handsome men do some handsome things??? I don't know. I need to figure out and make sure everyone can start a fire. All right. Ready? Go! aHaha hahaa! What's the thought process here, Logan? UghH… He doesn't have time to SPEAK. I got a fire! Looks like Mitchell's gonna have to stay here with me and take care of meeee! Baahh!! We're gonna do a talent show. Silence… Ooh!! Teh hehe hee… Hah ha ha haahaaa… You want oatmeal? I'm good. Oh, I was gonna get you another tub... No, no. I'm good. I would love some, Mitchell. Thank youuu! I think the woman's supposed to be the one doing the cooking. I'm cleaning. There you go. Oh, thank you. This tastes incredible. You know how to kill every moment. Anything I say or do is not good enough for Miss Ashley. That's a problem. Are you trying to fight right now? No matter what I say, it's gonna piss you off. So… What? I don't know why… I'm getting a really WEIRD feeling. Mitch and her's relationship is, like… Seems authentic, but it also-- I could see it being fake. Where is your head at? What are you thinking? I mean you know how I operate. You know what kind of man I am. You know I have integrity and morals. I'm such a CRYbabyyy. Are you cryin'? A little bit. I'm just grateful that you're here. sniff… Bring it in. I'm glad we made it happen. Mitchell definitely knows I have a soft spot for him. I wanna say I trust him, but the reality of it all is… he'll probably go home… and we won't talk for weeks at a time, and... kind of depends on where his head's at. Thinking the longer I'm on this island, the more I realize I'm tapped out of reality in the real world. How are you guys doin'? What's up y'all?! Today's Day 9. We have a surprise for you guys. Tomorrow's gonna be Day 10, and this surprise is gonna help you, Ashley, make a decision. All right, wooow. Little challenge!! We're ready. Let's get on this BOAT! OhHHh! We're goin' on a boat. Where the HECK are we? Welcome... ...to Challenge Island! Oh-hooOOoo! So you see this big contraption over here? Yes, sir. Sure do! You're gonna be competing in a challenge for a special night with Ashley, and there's some amenities. Oh, wooww… So the winner of the challenge gets 24 hours with Ashley here. You get a bed, a massage, a three course meal. And the rest of you won't be able to talk to Ashley until the elimination tomorrow. Damn… ♪ Naughty, naughtyyyy! ♪ OH-ho-hooo! MMh! I'm nervous. Yeah, what's the game? What we gotta do? The first ex to dig their key out of the sand, unlock the hammer, break the stone, and push the barrel up the ramp, wins a date night with Ashley that could potentially secure their spot in this next elimination. WOOOoooOOOO!!!! LET'S GOOoooo! YOOOOO! May the best man wiiiin!! THREE!! TWO! ONE! GO!!!! huh huh huhehhh… OH, it's deep! DIG! DIG! Come on! I got it!! Gary has successfully dug his key out of the sand. Ohh, he wants to WIN! But Logan isn't far behind. Unlock the hammer. Honestly, I thought finding the key would be easy, but clearly, not so much. Oh, this is NOT GOOD! I mean, Gary is just outpacing everybody. Gary hasn't struggled at all in this challenge. IT'S TOO EASY!! HAH HEE! HAHAHAAA AHA HAHAA! Oh, that's not it??? What the… Nobody's even CLOSE to Gary. He's laughing the whole way! Hahaha haha ha hahah ha! Somehow, Derrick and Mitch are still digging. I'm so CONFUSEDDD! Which is crazy because we literally marked where the key was buried. Guys, this is kind of sad to watch… Logan's catching up!! You're almost there! Lock it in!! Lock it in! GARY WINS! Yeah, Logan, you can stop trying. Huhhh… Congrats! Thank you. Let's head on over. Let's do it. And, boys… Let's go back to the boat. Save us a couple Feastables? They have their priorities in order. Ahaha haha! Bye, guys! Byeeee! Byeee! I feel like I don't belong in this setting. Yeah, after roughing it forrrr X amount of days. We had a thing before I dated Graham. Yeah. I feel like things ended with us, it just, like, faded out. I started seeing someone else. People get busy, and I didn't really take any offense orrr disrespect or anything of that nature. WOW! Wooooww! Geeeezzz… While Ashley and Gary enjoy their night of luxury... Back home, the boys were left to stress about who Ashley was sending home tomorrow. The night before the elim, that's a HUUGE, huuuuge, huge downer, bro. I think you're safe. It's definitely Danny, Logan, or myself. I feel like it's 50/50 for me tomorrow, to be honest. It really is one of us. What are you thinking? I think I'm gonna get eliminated today. Woowww… Thank youuu!! It's Day 10. It's uhhh… Big day. Elim day. Gotta rip the Band-Aid off, so… It's tiiiimme to eliminate. Hhhhh… Here we go. Boy… Wassup y'all? Wassup? Thank you, thank you. So… Gary, Ashley, How was your night? It was good, uhhh… Good meal, good massage. It was chill. Did you guys miss me? Of courseee! BIG time. Yeahhh… Dearly… Have you already come to a conclusion? I think so. I'm going. I think I'm going. While I do appreciate everyone that came, obviously, I gotta pick you guys off one by one. "Pick 'em off's" colddd. Uhh-huh! HA! Yeah. That's COLDD. All right. Ashley. Well, whenever you're ready, choose who you are eliminating. Go ahead and pick up the hammer and smash their heart. Like I said, I appreciate all of you guys being here. Pfff heh heh… OH haha huuh… Some of you might have put your life on hold to be here. So, unfortunately for meeee… it's time for youuu… CRASHHH to get back to work! huuUUHH! GOT YO-- HUUHHH!! Curveball. PShhh! Mitch, any advice you have for the boys? Count the stars for me, boys. Got you, big dawg. Connect the dots. Make the stars align. What kind of code are they speaking in? I'm gonna miss you. Dude, I don't know, like, frat? Tee heee… Don't miss me too much. I'll be fine. Boys, you can head back to camp. You're safe. All right. Appreciate it. For now. For now… Back in the saddle. WHAT an EXPERIENCE of the past ten days, man. WOWWW… Y'all I gotta sit down. Yeah, same. I'm-- I'm speechless. I'm feeling all the emotions right now. I know… How do you feel? I wasn't gonna operate this game with those feelings. That's smart. For sure. I'm thinking about who would actually split the money with me more than anything else. While they're competing for two hundred fifty thousand dollars, I want to give some of you money, too. Because we're approaching half a billion subscribers, which is something I never thought would be possible. From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of you for the support throughout the years. And to celebrate, I'm giving $1,000 to a random subscriber every single day for the next 30 days so if you're not already, hit the Subscribe button. With Mitchell's surprise elimination, the boys felt they had to do something truly extraordinary to win Ashley over. So we're gonna try to make a pathway from the hut we built to all the bedrooms. No, Ash, you're actually gonna be really happy about this. But they may have gotten a little carried away. GUYSS! Bruh, it's gonna be littt! Arghh… I don't know if you guys forgot... Three, two, one! Drop!! Drop! about me here, but… Come on. UGHH! maybe consider that next time you... Do you wanna come help? Well… So I say, as of right now, we don't need to, like, form it. I think they've forgotten the plot and that I'm here. The princess of the land. And now I'm just, like, boreddd. I'm ready to just get rid of all of 'em. Men… When everything else failed, they tried treating her to a seafood dinner. OH! Ooh… Come on, Logan! Come on, Logan!! Wooowww!! Aghh!! COME ON, LOGAN!! OHH, it's gonna taste so good, Ashley. Is that all we got from it? I feel like you're always complaining, Ashley. I really do!! Am I--?? Tell me I'm wrong. huh HAHA HAA! I just feel like every, like, every situation. I just feel like you're-- You HATE it! And I feel bad. Like, I want you to be happy. All right, sorry… Day 15! Hmphh! Hah haha! Well, technically, Danny still had a few more days on the island to make the situation even worse. I looove Harry Potter. I only watched a couple of 'em. Read all the books. I never really found them very entertaining. UghHH! All right, I'll see you guys. Day 15, I'm gone. Just 'cuz of that comment. HAH! I'm gonna miss you guys. What do you mean? I'll probably get eliminated on Day 15. Heh hee… You just have to chill, bro. It takes a long time to build trust and just one moment to knock it all down, you know? You guys are 100% right. We'll see how it goes. Ashley finally had to sit him down and explain why things just weren't working out. I don't know that you actually care about me. If I called someone and had an emergency and like needed something, people like Derrick, Gary, I think they would drop anything for me. And I don't think you would do that. Well, I want you to know, Ashley, I-- I want to be friends with you. In my mind, you'll always be my friend. sniifff… So I'm gonna put in more effort. sniff, sniff… SNIFF… And I apologize for not doing it in the past. I'm just really emotionaalll… huUHH, sniff, sniff! Guys, I have no idea what the future's gonna hold. But all I know is I'm gonna work my… BEHIND off to make it to the end. Maybe that brings me clarity. Maybe that makes me wanna steal the-- the money from her. You never know. I just hope, like… something happens where I gain a chance of staying longer. And Danny didn't know it, but I was bringing just that opportunity. Today's game is gonna be an interesting one. Is this a spectator sport for me? Oh, yeah. You're definitely a spectator. Perfeectt! I love doing NOTHING! AHuh huh! Perfect! Well, let's go do it. With 250,000 dollars on the line, I wanted to give you a chance to prove your love for Ashley. So whether or not you go home today is actually in your control. Ohh… This next challenge is a puzzle relay. To rebuild Ashley's broken heart, you will have to swim far out to the ocean to get the pieces to your puzzle. The first person to return and reconstruct Ashley's heart will get immunity today. Ashley will not be able to send you home. This is Ashley's heart. You have to reconstruct before anyone else. Well, let's just be honest, you're going home. Ttth hah! Probably. You guys can't let him win. GENTLEMEN, are you ready?! Three! Two! Danny is running like his LIFE in the game depends on it! He really needs those extra five days to convince Ashley to keep him until the end. But Danny's going all the way out! Two of them grabbed the furthest away ones. the closest ones. Let's see how it plays out. AND LOGAN'S FIRST OUT!! GO! GOOO!! Huhh, huhhh… Logan brought back his first pieces! So did Derrick! ARGHHH! Come on, DANNY!! Don't get eliminated now!! Come ONN! With all four of the guys getting their first bag of pieces, they're realizing how difficult this challenge actually is. They're tireeddd! Yeah, they're all GASSED! This is actually craaazzyyyy! You're doing great, Logan! YOU GOT THIS!! Ohh, he's gonna take a rest and BUILD! Danny has outsmarted all of them. While they rest in the water, Danny is resting while building. HUHhhh, huhhh… I did not see this coming. As of right now, Danny's in the lead. Guys, I really don't know what I'm gonna do if Danny wins. Gary's joining the Danny strat of taking a break while building the puzzle. Logan is STRUGGLIN' out there. Logan's just floating. Waaaait, I think Derrick went to the wrong color. He's supposed to be getting the orange pieces. Logan is the first with all his pieces. Danny does not have his third yet. You could come out on top. Right here. All right, Danny's going back. Danny's RUNNIN'! You build this puzzle right now, you win. Let's go, DANNY! You're almost there!! On a scale of one to ten, how gassed are you? Logan, you're doing greeaaat. Well, do you now have all your pieces here? Since he's already completed most of his puzzle… Danny's in the lead!! He might seal the deal right here, right now. At this point, whoever solves this puzzle first is the winner. I have too much anxiety right now. Come on, G, you got it. WAIT, he's making a comeback! Let's GO! This is still anyone's game. I've never built a heart before. I've just crushed 'em. I am SO confused. I didn't think the puzzle would be the hard part, but, they are all EXHAUSTED! Logan, you probably could just take a nap if you wanted to. Derrick's building an inside-out heart over there. The puzzle's pretty easy, but all that swimming has them completely fried. OHHH! MAJOR breakthroughs! OH! Major breakthrough! Does he have this?? He's not done until it's up here!! And DANNY WON!!! HE DID IT!! He did it!! waahHHHH!! Don't-- Don't kill them, Majd. That was for you, Ashley. Thanks, sweetie. What do you think about the cage around Danny's heart? I don't think she likes it. I love it, though. It's hammer-proof. Are we sure? You don't need to test it, though, no. Hey, floor is yours. I want to hear what you have to say, Ashley. I don't have any thoughts right nowww… Does anyone have anything to say? One of the three of you is gonna have to go today. I'm sure you'll make the right decision. Love you no matter what. Awwhh. This is hard for you. Do you think by proxy of Danny, she might target you? 'Cuz you guys obviously are good friends. There's a chance, yeah. 100%. Danny had it coming, but, uhhh… He's gonna be here another five days. Heh hee-- Probably only five. HAh HAHA ha! Teh HEHE HA! I can't do this. I have no idea what she's about to do. I don't think Ashley knows what she's about to do. Ummm… CRAASSSHHHH! That's tough… Love you, bro. Me, too. sniff! I did not see that coming. That's how Day 15 went. Imagine Day 25 when there's just two of them. This is gonna get craaazy. After Logan's elimination, the mood at camp hit a new low. I miss Logan. I'm very sad. I feel like I made the wrong choice. Danny desperately needed to get in Ashley's good graces to have any chance at winning this challenge. I know you lowkey want me to stay, Ash. I wake up every day trying to be happy that you're here, and then you just make some dumb comment. Women's brains are infinitely more confusing than what Minecraft is. Whaat??? But he seemed to be making things even worse. I just, like, don't want to be around Danny right now. I think I need to just, like, remove myself for a little bit. You're the beating heart for this camp. We need you. Take all the time that you need, but come back soon. Nah, bro, there's no way Ashley can go to Day 25 with Danny, bro. Nah, she'd choke him out. I just got a problem with the disrespect. I agree. You can get your point across to a woman and not be disrespectful. She'll come around when the time is right. You just got to give her the day. By Day 17, Ashley had shut everyone out. But the boys knew they needed her to stay on this island if they wanted a chance at the 250,000 dollars. All I'm trying to do is just come out with some type of money. The chance for a guy to split that 250K with Ashley. Honestly, I feel like the money's already mine. Derrick and Gary gave Ashley the space that she asked for, while Danny saw Ashley's isolation as a chance to cheer her up and win her back. I think she's pretty checked out on me staying here, but you never know. What are you doing? Just in a depression hole. You want something that'll make you happy? I made a little Logan. I'm so sad. It's okay, Ash. It's okay. Big step today with Ashley and kind of our connection and kind of the feelings between each other. With Ashley in a better mood, morale around camp had lifted significantly. Okay, let's do yoga and go ahead and close your eyes. Inhaling all your love and devotion for me. Exhaling all of your toxic lying traits. Pbbbth!! hee hee HAHA HA HA HA! Danny, did you get that one? I'm still breathing out. I think I'm losing brain cells hanging out with you, and I kind of like it. It's like my technique. heHAHA! There's such a clear contrast between Danny being entertaining and Gary and Derrick kind of living in their own world. There might have been a day or two where I was a little kept to myself and quiet, but I do sometimes have to take a step back, analyze everything, create a strategy for when I'm in the end to know what I gotta do to get to that 250K. But Derrick wasn't making that clear to Ashley, leaving her to wonder what was going on with him. What is Derrick doing, he's just, like, taking laps out here. If you don't eliminate him, Ash, I feel like you're doing him a disservice. I think I'm playing mental games with every single person on this island. With Ashley, like, I'm just making her laugh all the time. These guys, almost like, by extension of me taking her away and always laughing, is kind of pushing them away from wanting to even convene with Ashley, which is making Ashley think, like, do these guys want to be here? Do they want to be around me? Are they really my friends? I think it's all kinda coming together. I'm really contemplating keeping you here to use you for entertainment value. I feel like the other guys don't put forth effort. So would you rather be bored by them or entertained? Would you rather know someone's gonna give you half the money or worry about if they gonna steal the money? I'm starting to get convinced Derrick doesn't like me. There is one person I wouldn't trust with one dollar, let alone 250K of 'em. And that's Danny. Things are about to get CRAZY, and I'm all here for it. I, like, have a lot of anxiety about tomorrow. I feel like I'm breaking up the band every five days. Get a good night's sleep, Danny. You as well, Ash. This is Day 20. Are you guys ready for today's challenge? Let's do it! All right, let's go to the boat. Usually, every challenge we've been able to walk up and know exactly what we're doing. We see four platforms. We see a big platform. Ashley, you are in this challenge. How do you feel? I'm in it. I'm excited! The rules are simple. You guys are all gonna get on these platforms. And the last person to fall is gonna make an important decision, which might help them win this entire competition. One! GO!! Go! Ashley is cool like a cucumber. Look at her. They're all actually pretty sturdy right now. Very quiet, it's very intense. OH!! Oh, no! NOOOoooo! Derrick already FELL at 35 seconds. 35 seconds in. He's OUT! The remaining contestants lasted a lot longer than I thought they would. All right, guys, it's officially been 20 minutes. I can see your calf muscles adjusting every second. Don't talk to me. It's officially been over one hour on the platform. After 90 minutes of struggling to stay on their platforms, it was time to see if these contestants were ready to make things even harder. So if we bring a boat around, and start circulating you guys, is that okay? Let me see a thumbs up from everybody. BRING IN THE BOATTTT!! We're gonna start the first round of waves and see who's gonna fall off this platform!! OHHH!! Danny almost fell in the water. Let's see who's gonna fall off the platform!! Gary just lost! Two contestants left. Who's winning this decision? Ohh, what is this gonna DO?! OHH!! Danny almost lost it. OHH! Oh, Ashley!!! Ashley just fell in the water!!! Danny is our winner!! Danny officially just won his second challenge. This could be huge for him. LET'S GOOOO!! Ashley, this was your first challenge in this game. How does it feel to be on the other side? It feels good. You did great. Ashley, Derrick, and Gary, please head back to the island. Danny, stay here to claim that decision that we've been talking about. OH ho hooo! Bye bye!!! Do you want to find out what's inside this box? You just won 50,000 dollars for completing in this challenge. You can take this 50K and keep it to yourself, or you can add it to the grand prize. That might help you buy back Ashley's trust and persuade her to keep you in the game. But, there's a risk: She could let you increase the prize pool and still eliminate you anyway. If you keep this 50,000 dollars, you don't have to tell them what you got in this box. It's a big decision to make. Dang, there's really a lot of ways I could play this, guys. You can. Do you want to try to win Ashley back over or take the guaranteed money? I'm gonna keep this thing. Congratulations, Danny. This 50K is yours. WOOOoooOOO! Let's goooo!!! Yeaahhh! Danny kept the 50,000 grand and even hid it, worried that the others would target him for elimination if they found out. Welcome to Day 20 eliminations. Obviously, the winner of this challenge got to make a really big decision. Danny, do you want to share what the options were? What I decided to do, ultimately would not change anyone's likelihood of being here longer or not. And so I'd rather just hold it in to myself. Will you tell me if you make it through elimination? Maybe the next elimination, too. Do you guys have any last words for Ashley before she makes a big decision? Thank you for the opportunity. It was a very mental and physical challenge. It's no joke, and it just shows the type of mental resilience and toughness that you have. Since last elimination to here, what makes me the most happy is the growth and the understanding between our relationship. There was a lot of ups and downs, but I feel like I have lot more clarity on where I stand and what I need to do in our relationship. We started off with six, now it's gonna be top two. Ashley, whenever you're ready. Ooh, it's a tough one. I hate thisss… Oh, she's going straight to me. As annoying as you are Danny, you've also made me laugh the hardest and made the days go by way faster here. And the cherry on top is that you keep winning all these challenges. For selfish reasons, I'm gonna keep you around. I appreciate that. But for now, it's between you two. Derrick, you have done very bad in all these challenges. Gary, you've killed it in the challenges. You've been nothing but headstrong throughout all of this. But I'm sitting here thinking who I trust the most and I'm sorry... WHOOMMPPP! OHHHhhh!! WHAAT?! GARY?! You couldn't have played it any better. It comes down to the fact that I trust him more. It's all good, bro. This has been a one of a kind, unique experience. Hats off to everyone here. I just can't wait to see how this turns out in the next few weeks. Much love. Love youuu. Bye, Gary. With only five days left until the final elimination, it became all about the two hundred fifty thousand dollars. I wanted to come here knowing that there was an opportunity at money. I-- I mean, I just really… I like that 250. The real answer in how to win is to just try to make Ashley laugh as much as possible. Hnn hnn hnnn!! Hah hah! Hah hah! huh haha ha ha! Okay. And his old strategy was once again working flawlessly. Danny's very disrespectful, but he makes me laugh. I will tickle you to death. aha! HAHA HA! It seemed like Derrick was on the outs, but he had his own strategy. There's times, Ashley and Danny is talking and I'll let them talk 'cuz one, Danny can talk himself into some trouble and that does benefit me. And it really didn't take long for that strategy to pay off. BOOM. Once you get to this point… BOOM. No, thats... And then you just drop your whole body. Okay, that's not gonna happen for me. Yes, it is. Life lesson. It's like you come so close to me, like, wanting to hang out with you, and then you talk to me like an idiot. And I'm not so sure you're good at teaching. No, I'm good at teaching. Okay, cool. I feel like I am. Yep. This is what happens when you talk too much. Almost made it through Day 22 without any issues with Danny. But have no fear, we got into an argument again. Hey dude, Ashley's pissed at me again. And Danny's mistake really seemed to motivate Derrick to play his own game. Another day, another dolla! That ain't guaranteed… True. To come here, I quit my job. So that 250K is a lot more important than y'all think. 125 thousand. Ashley Nicole Moore's bank account. I'm very strategic, talk to her during the day. Now that's beautiful y'all. This just explains this money's Ashley Nicole Moore! I can think of oneeee special woman. And then during the night, get the conversations going, get the vibes going, and hope that holds some weight, yo. Get her a little mini cam!! ahuh ha! But Danny was determined to do anything to guarantee he got the money. I might be able to, like… gaslight my way into winning. Heh haha!! I just wanted to stop by. Just wanted to share my apologies with kind of just how aggressive I was with you. I just really see a lot of potential, and I like to push those who have potential. Even going so far as taking advantage of Ashley's empathy. I think my mom's starting to get Alzheimer's. She's reallllyyy having issues remembering stuff. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff I wanna do for my mom. And shockingly, Danny's emotional manipulation seemed to be working. ooOOOHH! Do you wanna hold my hand? This is nice. Day 25 is gonna be very interesting. It is not looking the best for me just because two people got power and I don't. But Derrick still had one final idea that might make Ashley choose him in the end. If you was to walk away here with nothing, I would be SICK to my stomach. There should be no way in anything where you don't leave here with six figures. It's just hard. There's so many layers to making this decision. Derrick might not be the best competitor, but he's always been a good, loyal friend to me. I love Danny so much. He may be one of the most selfish people I've ever met in my life, but I love him so much, and he is funny. That's where my head's at. But you never know with Jimmy. It's been weeks on this island, and it all comes down to this. The biggest decision of the video. How does it feel to be back? My knees are a little shaky. Mine would be too, 'cuz there's a 50% chance that you go home now with nothing. This isn't, like, a fun position to be in. Would adding 50,000 dollars to the prize pool make it a little easier? I mean, I'm not gonna say nooo! Hey, Tareq, come over here!! Before you eliminate one of them, here's a treasure map that shows where 50,000 dollars is buried on the beach. And if you find it in the next hour, I'll add it to the prize pool. Starting now, you have an hour to find the buried treasure. This treasure hunt is inspired by the brand-new movie Sheep Detectives. See the sheep?? BAHHHH Yep! Yeah, go to it. What are you doing?! Let's get it, let's get it!! I'll tell you about Sheep Detectives in a second. Boys, this is your last chance to win her over!! What are we even looking for?! A sheep! Oh, GOD. They're fast! Is it here? To the left?! It's gotta be it. Yeah?? Is this the spot?! It's gotta be the corridor. Hold on. And just like they're working together to find the hidden 50,000 dollars in Sheep Detectives, sheep work together to solve a murder. It's funny, weird, and heartfelt. And honestly, I never knew I needed sheep solving crimes until right now. BAHHH I think this is the spot. OH!! That looks kind of suspicious! Oh! WHOAA! What'd you just hit your foot on?! Do any of you guys like Hugh Jackman? Yeah! Yes! Absolutely! Well, he's the star of Sheep Detectives who gets murdered. And a band of sheep have to work together to solve the mystery. I'm tuned in. heh heh HAHA! Hey, I think we got something here, yo! What is that? This is it. BLEEEHHH! Go ahead, pull it out! NOO! If you want something fun to do this weekend, go watch the movie. It's in theaters now. LET'S GOOOO! Congrats on the 50,000 dollars! 50K more baby! Sheep Detectives based off this book in theaters now, go check it out. Anyways, now that you've found the 50 grand it's finally time for Ashley to make the decision. I can't even contemplate how if I was in Ashley's position, I would decide. You clearly like them 'cuz you dated them at some point. I don't like everyone I date, but I like these ones. Soooo, 300 grand on the line. Does anyone want to say anything? Being your friend and just being a part of this has been amazing. Seeing your loving, caring heart just shine throughout 25 days, it's a beautiful thing and I'm just happy other people got to witness it and be a part of it. And you know I love you no matter what. Wow… I feel like I should clap for that one. I appreciate it. Good luck, Danny. No, I just want to say, like, the biggest thing I'm most grateful for is just, like… honestly, the emotional rollercoaster that we've gone through here together and where we're gonna be leaving the island at with our relationship. You deserve to get half of this money, no matter who you pick. And if you pick the right person, there may be an opportunity to make some more money. Ohh, what do you mean by that? That's all I'm gonna say. Don't want to elaborate anymore? Before she picks up this hammer?? No, I'm not. I'm gonna leave it at that. You sure? Dannyyy… I've literally never laughed harder with anyone else. And you have made this so entertaining and so fun. But no one has also annoyed me as much as you haveeee. But I still love you, nonetheless. She's walking this way. Derrick might not have been the best competitor at the challenges, but it is never lost on me that if I didn't meet you four years ago, I probably wouldn't be standing here. We wouldn't be doing any of this. Wow. You've done nothing but protect me and have my back. Ultimately, I feel like for me Huhhhh… this just comes down to trust and respect. Danny, whatever our situation here has been, it's hard for me to trust. And I'm sorry. SMASSHHHH! CRASHH! All respect, Ash. All respect. Danny! Yep, I just had a feeling that was comin'. I really did. Are you gonna tell her the secret? So, off the last challenge, I had an opportunity to add the 50 grand to the pot or keep it personally. And you took it. Yep, I took it, and I-- How does that make you feel, Ashley, now that you know that? Thank God. I'm very grateful that you did that, and I'm happy you did that. Oh, really??? Why are you grateful? I feel like he's been here for 25 days. He deserves to walk away with something. Awwh. Knowing that I was gonna pocket this. I felt like just… He was gonna be the final guy. And he is!! If you want to celebrate, CONGRATULATIONS!!! AHHHH!! 250K!! Let's GOOO!! Wait-- Whoa! Whoa! Oohh! Hold up. I mean, I know you're happy, but here's the thing. Ashley, you now have to stand behind your podium. Because... this is now Ashley's. And if at any point between now and the next five days that heart is smashed by you, you will get all the prize pool and not split it. But if you decide not to smash her heart, I'll give you both 150,000 dollars. That is completely up to you. Absolutely. Dude, I'm sorry. At least you got to walk away with 50K. I mean, how do you feel? I'm not upset AT all. I'm happy I came out with a win! Now it's down to me and Derrick to see if he shatters my heart and steals all the money. I smash this heart, I'll leave with 300,000 dollars. Will my family forgive me, leaving 150,000 dollars here right now? Would they understand? And Derrick reached his decision by the next morning. Welcome back!! Hellooo! AHhhh… Was it a long night? It was. Derrick, it's decision time. Are you gonna throw that hammer in the fire and officially split the prize pool? Or after almost a month on this island, are you gonna smash Ashley's heart and double the money you'll leave with? You know, even-- Even if you're gonna mess around here, you don't need to get that close. Ohhh… Well, you think this is messing around? I just-- I don't know what it is. Seeing it in person and knowing that really can be mine. You want to see this number in your bank account? When do I get an opportunity to just smash a heart and get 300,000 dollars? That's what my family would want. And you know, I love you from the bottom of my heart, I do. And I think you would be understanding for my decision. With that said, Jimmy… I'm not gonna smash her heart. You're CLICKBAITING us!! ALL RIGHT!! We're happy he didn't take it! Let's gooo!!! 150K EACH! LET'S GO!! I'm gonna send 'em each 150,000 dollars. WOO! Hope you guys enjoyed! At least Ashley this time won some money.
