Survive 30 Days On An Island With Your Ex, Win $250,000

Take off your blindfolds. Ashley, these are your 6 ex-boyfriends. Oh, wow. And the last ex standing, by winning her back over, will win $250,000. Well, anything you want to say to them?

I have no words.

Let's head on over to the camp.

I invited you to my birthday. I'm a little sad you didn't come.

Whoa.

I was busy.

Did she go to your guys' birthday parties?

Oh, she's our birthday party girl.

Because these guys are going to be living on a tropical island with literally everything you could possibly We could live here for the rest of our lives. This challenge is not about endurance. It's to win her back over and be the last one here.

Oh.

Every 5 days, Ashley is going to 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.

Mm.

That's all. Have fun. For the next 30 days, I don't think Ashley will have to lift a finger unless she wants to.

No, we got to set up a hammock for her. Got to be the first one to do something.

Just going to sit over here in the shade.

These boys are going to do everything. I'm Ashley.

I'm Ashley. I live in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. I 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.

Give me the kiss, man. Right now?

No, 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. Is 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 going to 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.

Oh, scary.

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.

Danny hard at work. I just keep looking around. I'm like, this can't be real. But while some of them While 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. Mm-hmm.

Which might not have been the best strategy. How was the first day, everybody?

It's been good. It's been real 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.

No.

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.

Ashley, some good cold water. It's the little things that's going to matter in the long run. Make sure nothing happened to Ashley. If a bear come out, got to 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.

Oh, thank you. 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 you, Ash.

Danny, they're beautiful.

Y'all are cooked.

Oh, this makes my heart so happy.

Ashley's gonna have to make the 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, see who needs to— So like, if you had to pick someone to go to the end, who would you pick?

I'd pick you, Ashley.

Aww.

Oh, mucha—

How did I do?

I think Ashley's a little bit more locked in. I think it's hitting her a little bit more that I gotta figure it out. Who do I feel I can trust?

Do you really think any of the guys here would not split the money with you?

I low-key think Mitchell would steal it all. 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, 'cause if I get to that point, probably gonna take it just 'cause you gotta do what you gotta do. Good night.

Love you so much.

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.

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 5 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 thinking?

They're all great. I'm having a good time. Can't just keep them all here.

I noticed you seem to like Mitchell a little more. Ah!

A little more flirty with him. 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. Yeah!

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.

Gentlemen, it's been a pleasure.

Bye, Jake.

I'll miss you. Not really, but—

Woo-hoo!

In there was 5.

You see that one coming?

No.

A mile away.

What?

You guys know there's another one in 5 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.

Who's coming in second?

On your mark, get set, go! Yeah, cook it. Gary's cooking. 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 I'm sure everyone can start a fire. All right, ready, go. Got it. What's the thought process here, Logan?

I'm very worried about you.

It's not time to speak.

I got a fire.

Looks like Mitchell's gonna have to stay here with me and take care of me.

Ah!

We're gonna do a talent show.

Silence.

You want oatmeal?

I'm good. Oh, I'm good.

I would love some, Mitchell. Thank you.

I think the woman's supposed to be doing the one cooking.

I'm cleaning.

So, thank you.

There you go.

This tastes incredible.

It's so good with peanut butter.

You know how to kill every moment. Anything I say or do, I was not good enough for Miss Ashley.

That's a problem.

Are you trying to fight right now?

No matter what I say, you're 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?

You know how I operate. You know what kind of man I am. You know I have integrity and morals.

I'm such a crybaby.

Are you crying?

A little bit. Just grateful that you're here.

Bring it in. I'm glad we made it happen.

Mitchell definitely knows I have a soft spot for him. I want to 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.

Again, 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 doing?

What's up, y'all?

Today's day 9. We have a surprise for you guys. Tomorrow's going to be day 10, and this surprise is going to help you actually make a decision.

All right.

Yeah.

Yeah, let's do it.

Let's get on this boat.

Oh, we're going on a boat.

Where the heck are we?

Welcome to Challenge Island.

Oh.

So you see this big contraption over here?

Yes, sir.

You're going to be competing in a challenge for a special night with Ashley, and there's some amenities.

Oh, wow. So the winner of the challenge gets 24 hours with Ashley here. You get a bed, a massage, a 3-course meal, and the rest of you won't be able to talk to Ashley until the elimination tomorrow.

Oh, yeah.

I'm nervous.

Yeah, what's the game? What we got to 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 the next elimination. Let's go!

May the best man win.

3, 2, 1, go!

Oh, it's deep.

Dig, dig!

Come on.

Got it. Gary has successfully dug his key out of the sand.

Oh, 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 deep.

It's not good.

I mean, Gary is just outpacing everybody. Gary hasn't struggled at all in this challenge.

It's too easy.

15.

Oh, that's not it?

What the? Nobody's even close to Gary.

He's laughing the whole way.

Somehow, Derek and Mitch are still digging. I'm so confused. 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. Congrats.

Thank you. Thank you.

Let's head on over. And boys, let's go back to the boat.

Save us a couple Feastables.

They have their priorities in order.

Bye, guys.

Bye. I feel like I don't belong in this setting. Yeah, after roughing it for X amount of days, We had a thing before I dated Grant. 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 or disrespect or anything of that nature.

Wow.

Jeez.

While Ashley and Gary enjoyed 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 huge, huge Huge, huge dub, bro.

I think you're safe. It's definitely Dani, Logan, or myself.

I feel like it's 50/50 for me tomorrow, to be honest. It really is one of us three. What are you thinking? I think I'm gonna get eliminated today.

Oh, thank you.

It's day 10. It's a big day, a limb day.

Gotta rip the Band-Aid off, so. It's time to eliminate.

Here we go.

Boy.

What's up, y'all? What's up?

Thank you.

Thank you.

So Gary, Ashley, how was your night?

It was good.

Good meal, good massage.

It was chill.

Did you guys miss me?

Of course. Big time.

Yeah.

Dearly. Have you already come to a conclusion?

I think so.

I'm good. I think I'm good.

Well, I do appreciate everyone that came. Obviously, I got to pick you guys off one by one.

Pick them off.

Uh-huh.

Yeah.

All right, Ashley, well, whenever you're ready.

You 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. Some of you might have put your life on hold to be here. So unfortunately for me, it's time for you to get back to work.

Oh, shit.

Curveball.

Mitch, any advice you have for the boys? Count the stars for me, boys.

Got you, big dog.

Connect the dots. Make the stars align. What kind of code are they speaking in? I was gonna miss you.

Dude, I don't know, like frat?

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 in the past 10 days, man. Wow. Yo, I gotta say, I'm just dumbfounded.

Yeah, same. I'm speechless.

I'm feeling all the emotions right now. How do you feel?

I wasn't going to 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 $250,000, 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 that they had to do something truly extraordinary to win Ashley over.

So we're going to try to make a pathway from the hut we built to all the bedrooms. Now, Ash, you're actually going to be really happy about this.

But they may have gotten a little carried away.

Guys!

Bro, it's going to be lit.

I don't know if you guys forgot—

3, 2, 1, drop, drop—

about me here, but maybe consider that next time you—

You want to come help?

No.

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 Bored. I'm ready to just get rid of all of them. Men.

Where's Ashley?

When everything else failed, they tried treating her to a seafood dinner. Oh, come on, Logan.

Come on, Logan.

Come on, Logan. Come on, Logan.

Oh, it's going to 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. I just feel like every, like, every situation, I just feel like you hate it and I feel bad. Like, I want you to be happy.

All right.

Sorry. MrBeast commentary over. And this is where Danny went home. Day 15.

Well, technically, Dani still had a few more days on the island to make the situation even worse.

I love Harry Potter.

I only watched a couple of them.

Read all the books.

I never really found them very entertaining. All right, I'll see you guys day 15.

I'm calling.

Tschüss, goodbye.

I miss you guys.

What do you mean?

That I probably get eliminated on day 15. 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?

For sure.

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 Derek, 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 want to be friends with you. In my mind, you'll always be my friend. So I'm going to put in more effort, and I apologize for not doing it in the past.

I'm just really emotional.

Guys, I have no idea what the future is going to hold, but all I know is I'm going to work my be hind off to make it to the end. Maybe that brings me clarity. Maybe that makes me want to steal the money from her. You never know. I just hope, like, something happens where I gain a chance of staying longer.

And Dani didn't know it, but I was bringing just that opportunity. Today's game is going to be an interesting one.

Is this a spectator sport for me?

Oh, yeah. You're definitely a spectator.

Perfect. I love doing nothing.

Perfect. So let's go do it. With $250,000 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. Oh. 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.

Let's do it.

This is Ashley's heart. You have to reconstruct before anyone else. Well, let's just be honest. You're going home.

Probably.

You guys can't let him win.

Gentlemen, are you ready? 3, 2, 1. Danny is running like his life in the game depends on it. He really needs those extra 5 days to convince Ashley to keep him until the end. Wow. Danny is going all the way out. 2 of them grabbed the furthest away ones. 2 of them grabbed the closest ones. Let's see how it plays out. And Logan's first out. Go!

Go!

Logan brought back his first pieces. So did Derek. Come on, Danny! Don't get eliminated now. Come on! And with all 4 of the guys getting their first bag of pieces, they're realizing how difficult this challenge actually is.

They're tired.

Yeah, they're all gassed.

This is actually crazy. You're doing great, Logan.

You got this! Oh, he's going to take a rest and build. Danny has outsmarted all of them. While they rest in the water, Danny is resting while building. He pulled it.

I did not see this coming.

As of right now, Dani's in the lead.

Guys, I really don't know what I'm going to do if Dani wins.

Gary's joining the Dani strat of taking a break while building the puzzle. Logan is struggling out there.

Logan's just floating.

I think Derek went to the wrong color. He's supposed to be getting the orange pieces. Logan is the first with all his pieces. Dani does not have his third yet. You could come out on top right here. Danny's going back. Danny's running. You build this puzzle right now, you win. Let's go, Danny! You're almost there! On a scale of 1 to 10, how gassed are you?

11.

Logan, you're doing great.

Both of 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.

Come on, G. Come on, G. Let's go.

Let's go. This is still anyone's game.

I've never built a heart before.

I've just crushed them.

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.

Derek's building an inside-out heart over here.

The puzzle is pretty easy, but all that swimming has them completely fried. Oh, major breakthroughs. Oh, major breakthrough. Does he have this? Not done until it's up here? Oh, and Danny won! He did it! He did it! Don't kill the mess.

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 hammerproof.

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 now. Does anyone have anything to say?

One of the three of you is going to have to go today.

I'm sure you'll make the right decision.

Love you no matter what.

Aww.

This is hard for you.

Do you think by proxy of Dani, she might target you? Because you guys obviously are good friends.

There's a chance, yeah. 100%. Dani had it coming. But he's going to be here another 5 days. Probably only 5.

But—

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.

That's tough.

Love you, bro.

I did not see that coming.

That's how day 15 went. Imagine day 25 when there's just 2 of them.

This is gonna get crazy.

After Logan's elimination, the mood at camp hit a new low.

I miss Logan. 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 look, you want me to say, "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. What?

But he seemed to be making things even worse.

I just, like, don't want to be around Dani right now. I think I need to just, like, move 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 Dani, 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.

Just got to give her the day.

By day 17, Ashley had shot down let everyone out, but the boys knew that they needed her to stay on this island if they wanted a chance at the $250,000.

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.

And honestly, I feel like the money's already mine.

Derek 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? I'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. Go ahead and close your eyes. Inhaling all your love and devotion for me. Exhaling all of your toxic lying traits. Danny, did you get that one?

I'm still breathing out. I'm still breathing out.

I think I'm losing brain cells hanging out with you, and I kind of like it.

That's like my technique.

There's such a clear contrast between Danny being entertaining and Gary and Derek 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 got to do to get to that 250K.

But Derek wasn't making that clear to Ashley, leaving her to wonder what was going on with him.

What is Derek 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, it's 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 kind of 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 Derek doesn't like me.

There is one person I wouldn't trust with $1, let alone $250K of them, and that's Dani.

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 5 minutes. 5 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 get 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 4 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 going to get on these platforms, and the last person to fall is going to make an important decision which might help them win this entire competition. 3, 3, 2, 1, go! Ashley is cool like a cucumber. Look at her.

They're all actually pretty sturdy right now.

Very quiet, very intense.

Oh!

Oh, no! No! Derek 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 her calf muscles adjusting every second.

Don't talk to me.

It's officially been over 1 hour on the platform. After 90 minutes of struggling to stay on their platforms, It's 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 OK? Let me see a thumbs up from everybody. Bring in the boat! We're going to start the first round of waves to see who's going to fall off this platform. Oh! Danny almost fell in the water. Let's see who's going to fall off the platform. Gary just lost. 2 contestants left. Who's winning this decision? Oh, what is this going to do? Oh, Danny almost lost it.

Oh!

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 go! Ashley, this was your first challenge in this game. How does it feel to be on the other side?

It feels good.

Very impressed.

Ashley, Derek, and Gary, please head back to the island. Danny, stay here to claim that decision that we've been talking about. Bye-bye! Do you want to find out what's inside this box? You just won $50,000 for completing 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 is a risk. She could let you increase the prize pool and still eliminate you anyways. If you keep this $50,000, 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 can 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.

Woo! Let's go!

Danny kept the $50 grand and even hid it, worried that the others would target him for elimination if they found out. Welcome to day 20 elimination, and 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 into myself.

Will you tell me if you make it through elimination?

Yeah, maybe the next elimination 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's a lot of ups and downs, but I feel like I have a lot more clarity on where I stand and what I need to do in our relationship.

We started off with 6. Now it's gonna be top 2. Ashley, whenever you're ready.

I hate this.

Oh, she's going straight to me.

As annoying as you are, Danny, you've also You have 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. Derek, 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? Oh!

What?

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 you.

Bye, Gary.

With only 5 days left until the final elimination, it became all about the $250,000.

I wanted to come here knowing that there was an opportunity at money. 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.

And his old strategy was once again working flawlessly.

Danny is very disrespectful, but he makes me laugh.

I'm gonna tickle you to death.

It seems like Derek was on the outs, but he had his own strategy.

There's times Ashley and Danny's talking, and I let them talk because one, Daddy 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, and then you just drop your whole body.

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 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 Dani, but have no fear, we got into an argument again.

Yeah, dude, Ashley's pissed at me again.

And Dani's mistake really seemed to motivate Derek to play his own game.

Another day, another dollar.

That ain't guaranteed.

True.

To come here I quit my job. So that $250K is a lot more important than y'all think. $125,000. Ashley Nicole Moore's bank account. I'm very strategic. Talk to her during the day. Now, that's beautiful. It just explains— explains Ashley Nicole Moore. I could think of one special woman. And then during the night, get the conversations going, get the vibes going. I hope that holds some weight, y'all. Yeah, get her a little mini cam.

Yeah. But Danny was determined to do anything to guarantee he got the money.

I might be able to, like, gaslight my way into winning.

I don't know.

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 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 really having issues remembering stuff. Yeah, there's a lot of stuff I want to do for my mom.

And shockingly, Dani's emotional manipulation seemed to be working.

Do you want to hold my hand? This is nice.

Day 25 is going to be very interesting. It is not looking the best for me just because two people got power and I don't.

But Derek 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 It would be sick to my stomach. There should be no way in anything where you don't leave her with 6 fingers.

It's just hard. There's so many layers to making this decision. Derek might not be the best competitor, but he's always been a good, loyal friend to me. I love Dani 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's it feel to be back?

My knees are a little shaky.

Mine would be too, because 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 to the prize pool make it a little easier?

I mean, I'm not going to say no.

Hey, Tareq, come over here. Before you eliminate one of them, here's a treasure map that shows where $50,000 is buried on the beach. 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? Yeah, yeah, go to it! What are you doing? 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?

Ash, it's got to be it.

Yeah, is this the spot?

It's going to be the corridor.

Hold on.

And just like they're working together to find the hidden $50,000, 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.

I think this is the spot.

Oh, that looks kind of suspicious.

Oh, whoa. What'd you just hit your foot on? Didn't you guys like Hugh Jackman? Yes.

Absolutely.

What? Well, he's the star of Sheep Detectives who gets murdered, and a band of sheep have to work together to solve the mystery.

Wow. I'm tuned in. Hey, I think we got something here, yo.

What is that?

This is it.

Go ahead, pull it out. Oh. If you want something fun to do this weekend, go watch the movie. It's in theaters now. Let's go! Congrats on the $50,000. 50K more, baby. Chief Detectives, based off this book, in theaters now. Go check it out. Anyways, now that you 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 him because you dated him at some point.

I don't like everyone I date, but I like these ones.

So $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. I'm just happy other people got to witness it and be a part 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.

Thank you. Thank you.

All right, good luck, Danny.

No, I just want to say, like, biggest thing I'm just most grateful for is just, like, honestly, the emotional roller coaster that we've gone through here together and where we're going to 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.

Oh, what do you mean by that?

That's all I'm gonna say.

You 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? Danny, I've literally never laughed harder with anyone else, and you've made this so entertaining and so fun. But no one has also annoyed me as much as you have, but I still love you nonetheless.

Walking this way.

Derek might not have been the best competitor at the challenges, but it is never lost on me that if I didn't meet you 4 years ago, I probably wouldn't be standing here. We wouldn't be doing any of this. Oh, you've done nothing but protect me and have my back. Ultimately, I feel like for me 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.

All respect, Ash. All respect.

Danny. Yep.

I just had a feeling that was coming. I really did.

You're 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. Yeah, I took it.

And 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.

Aw, thank you. Knowing that I was going to pocket this, I felt like just he was going to be the final guy.

And he is. If you want to celebrate, congratulations! Ah, I'm losing $50K! Let's go! Well, well, well. I mean, I know you're happy. Here's the thing, Ashley, you now have to stand behind your podium.

Okay.

Because this is now Ashley's. And if at any point between now and the next 5 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. 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 Derek to see if he shatters my heart and steals all the money.

I smash this heart, I leave with $300,000. Will my family forgive me leaving $150,000 here right now? Would they understand?

And Derek reached his decision by the next morning. Welcome back.

Hello.

Was it a long night?

It was.

Derek, it's decision time. Are you going to throw that hammer in the fire and officially split the prize pool? Or after almost a month on this island, are you going to smash Ashley's heart and double the money you leave with?

You know, even, even if you're going to mess around here, you don't need to get that close.

Oh, boy. You think this is messing around?

I just— I don't know what it is.

Seeing it in person and knowing that really could 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?

Yeah.

It'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 going to smash hard.

You're clickbaiting us. All right, we're happy he didn't take it. Let's go. 150K each. I'm going to send them each $150,000. Hope you guys enjoyed. At least Ashley this time won some money.

Thank God.
