00:01This is my worst nightmare.
00:06I quit. I'm over it.
00:08I'm pissed, man. I'm boiling inside.
00:11It's obvious everyone's in it for themselves now.
00:14Twelve strangers from across Britain are arriving in South Africa.
00:19Stripped of all creature comforts,
00:21they're going to be tested in the hostile environment of the Eastern Cape.
00:27It's cold!
00:28As they embark on an unforgiving 18-day trek...
00:32Oh, my God!
00:35We're a whole 40 yards.
00:38..to win a share of 300 grand waiting at the finish line.
00:43But standing between them and the money...
00:49..we've built a series of incredible temptations.
00:52Oh, my God!
00:54..from everyday treats to big luxuries that will make their journey easier.
01:00Guys, there's hot water.
01:03But there's a catch.
01:04They come with the world's highest prices.
01:073,000 per double bed.
01:10It's a lot.
01:11For 3,500, I can have 19 parties.
01:16And every pound they spend will be deducted from the shared prize pot.
01:21This is absolute torture.
01:22So if one person gives in to temptation, everyone will pay for it.
01:28You're spending everybody's money.
01:30I am pissed off with you all.
01:32We live in a world where we can get what we want the second we want it.
01:36So can we put off our immediate desires for the sake of a longer-term goal?
01:43I'm not sleeping in a three grand bed.
01:46I'm built different.
01:47I doubt it.
01:48Would you give in to peer pressure?
01:50I need something to get me through this.
01:53But you could do that outside of this environment
01:55and not spend other people's money.
01:57Or temptation.
01:59Welcome to the dark side.
02:19Are we going to do this, guys?
02:20Come on.
02:21We're going to do it, everybody.
02:22Come on.
02:23In, in, in, in!
02:25I want to take part in this because you're never too old to do anything.
02:30I don't know what you could offer me that I would give in to,
02:35but a night with George Clooney covered in chocolate, that's it.
02:38I'm gone.
02:40I'm always the underdog.
02:41People don't see me coming, so they always count me out.
02:44And then when that, you know, their back is turned, I just take the crown.
02:49I am the most competitive person in Africa, right, at this moment.
02:53I don't lose at nothing.
02:54I want to pay for my daughter's degree, so I don't want anybody spending any money.
03:03That's where we start!
03:05That's where we get started, guys.
03:08Once these 12 strangers walk through the entrance,
03:12they'll step into a world of endurance and temptation.
03:17An 18-day arduous journey across some of the toughest terrain in Africa
03:22that will test their mental and physical strength.
03:27They'll come face to face with the Book of Temptations
03:31that will offer them the chance to buy what they are craving the most.
03:34But every temptation they take will reduce their assured prize fund at the end.
03:43Someone's coming!
03:44Oh, taxi to entry, please!
03:45Hello!
03:46Hello, everybody!
03:47Hello!
03:48Welcome to the Eastern Cape in South Africa.
04:01Ahead of you lot is a gruelling 18-day trek.
04:06Make it to the end and you'll win a share of up to 300 grand.
04:12CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
04:15And along the way, you're going to find Temptations.
04:19Temptations that will make your life a lot easier.
04:23I'll take it!
04:24I'll take it!
04:25But everything comes at a price.
04:28Ah!
04:29OK?
04:30You'll buy as many Temptations as you like, but every Temptation you buy,
04:34the price of that will be knocked off your prize fund.
04:38So all of you will be footing the bill for what any one of you splashes out on.
04:46And if any of you can't make it to the end of this journey,
04:5125 grand will be knocked off the prize money.
04:55OK?
04:56That's the start line.
04:57When you make your way through that turnstile,
04:59you're going to find water supplies and a map.
05:03OK?
05:04Best of luck to you all.
05:05Get yourself through the...
05:06CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
05:08And the first!
05:10Oh, my God.
05:11I'm not carrying the water.
05:13I feel like Dora the Explorer of all these maps, guys.
05:15God.
05:16They've got everything they need.
05:17Camping equipment, basic food, tents.
05:19But have they got everything they want?
05:22That's a different story.
05:23So we walk across and then we get to the forest,
05:25we get to the forest bit over there,
05:27we cross it to the sand dune and go straight to camp.
05:31Following the map,
05:32each day the group will be pushed to their limits
05:35on a gruelling trek to a camp checkpoint.
05:39Today, they will have to confront some of South Africa's biggest sand dunes
05:44before encountering their first temptation.
05:47They can skip the journey and take a shortcut,
05:53but it'll cost them big money.
05:57Guys, you ready? Let's go!
06:01Whoo!
06:03We leave no man behind.
06:05If you're struggling, let us know.
06:08No one's left behind.
06:10We're in South Africa, baby!
06:12Come on!
06:13Obviously, you've got to fit the stereotype of a Greek family.
06:15We've got a fish and chip shot.
06:17I'd like to think I'd be good at not giving to temptations.
06:19I know it's a team-based thing, but I don't think I'd excuse anyone for giving in.
06:24We don't really know what's going to happen or what's beyond those bushes,
06:27but that looks pretty hazardous up there.
06:31To reach the £300,000 fortune,
06:34the group will need to carry everything they need,
06:37including 30 litres of drinking water a day.
06:41Can everyone drink water so I can empty this thing?
06:45The idea that £25,000 is taken for every person that leaves
06:49definitely ups your individual value.
06:51I think it just means that we're going to have to take better care of each other
06:55because we're very, very valuable.
06:59I just think, like, the money can go down rapid.
07:01It's hard, isn't it, because people are going to take the temptations.
07:04And I don't want to be a dick, but I will be a dick if someone wants to be an ass.
07:08Three weeks from now, we're going to laugh our ass off.
07:10I'm like, oh, my God, ain't we so rich?
07:15So I might look glam on the outside, but, you know,
07:17inside here and inside there, I'm strong as an ox.
07:21Being on this experience, if someone has got, like, a weak willpower,
07:24I'm going to tell them about it, like, you're weak.
07:28So yous are from America, yeah?
07:29Yeah, I grew up in Michigan, lived in Florida.
07:31Have you been to the UK, then?
07:33Yeah, yeah, I've been in the UK the last 20-some years.
07:37Such a range of individuals.
07:39Like, you don't know who's going to crack.
07:41I don't know if I'm going to crack.
07:43You don't know how we're going to cope with each other.
07:45Who's the chief?
07:46So we'll see how it goes.
07:48There's inevitably bound to be clashes of personalities
07:51and different energies bouncing around and flying around.
07:54A lot of big egos here.
07:55Who do you think is the strongest?
07:57I reckon...
07:58James?
07:59I think James, yeah.
08:00But I think at the end, we'll be a cohesive group.
08:05I'm incredibly impulsive.
08:06I'm awful.
08:07The amount of times I've booked flights when I'm...
08:10I've had a couple of drinks.
08:11I've booked flights and got on the same day with no plan at all.
08:15I don't have willpower.
08:17But if I am able to overcome my own urges
08:20and other people are giving in,
08:22then I'm going to feel very let down.
08:24What if our weakness is a person?
08:27The weakness to the group?
08:28Yeah.
08:29I know what you're saying.
08:31She's not like a slushie.
08:34I'm not good.
08:35I'm not going to lie.
08:36She's struggling.
08:37She's having a bad time.
08:38I'm tired of walking.
08:40Come on.
08:41We've got to keep up.
08:42Don't give up now.
08:43Come on.
08:44What are you missing?
08:45My phone.
08:46Well, aren't you going to miss chocolate?
08:48In 18 days' time, I'm going to stuff this face so full of chocolate,
08:54it's going to be dribbling.
08:56Oh, Lani, she's really struggling.
08:58I think it was just that first shock of coming in
09:01and suddenly realizing that she can't have all her bits.
09:05She's of the age where she's surgically attached to her phone.
09:09I just hope she makes it through.
09:11The pack is a big mix.
09:13We got the inexperienced.
09:15We got the experienced.
09:17As of right now, everything seems cold.
09:19Hopefully, it'll stay that way.
09:22Don't freak out.
09:24What?
09:25Look at these dunes up ahead.
09:27You seeing this, brother?
09:29Up ahead, one of the steepest sand dunes in the Eastern Cape.
09:34As high as a 12-story building.
09:37Loaded up with their kit, they'll need to use every muscle in their body
09:42to wrestle against the deep sliding sand.
09:46Oh, my God.
09:47Look at this.
09:48The closer I get to it, it's pretty steep, bro.
09:50It's an illusion.
09:51Is it?
09:52I think it'll be one with, I don't know, you know.
09:53I think there's an elevator at the bottom, anyway.
09:54Guys, this is like an uphill climb.
09:55Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how we're going to get everybody up here.
09:56Yeah, I know.
09:57That's just unreal.
09:58Like, I'm looking at it, and I'm like, how are we all supposed to do this?
09:59Let's give it a go.
10:00I'm going to use this as a wedge.
10:01Yeah, I can't, you know, I feel it.
10:02Take your time.
10:03Don't kill yourself.
10:04I think you're going to burn all your energy.
10:05Don't embarrass me.
10:06I'm going to burn all your energy.
10:07Don't embarrass me.
10:08Don't embarrass me.
10:09Don't embarrass me.
10:10Don't embarrass me.
10:11I'm going to get my elevator at the bottom, anyway.
10:12Guys, this is like an uphill climb.
10:13Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how we're going to get everybody up here.
10:14Yeah, I know.
10:15That's just unreal.
10:16Like, I'm looking at it, and I'm like, how are we all supposed to do this?
10:19Let's give it a go.
10:20I'm going to use this as a wedge.
10:23Yeah, Katie, now I feel it.
10:24Take your time.
10:25Don't kill yourself.
10:26I think you're going to burn all your energy.
10:28Don't embarrass me.
10:29I need a helicopter!
10:32ASAP!
10:33It's so steep.
10:35I thought we'd just be doing walking.
10:38I did not expect that.
10:40Ready?
10:41Come on.
10:42Push it, push it.
10:43If I look fabulous, I am fabulous.
10:48It's like you're running on the spot.
10:50You're not actually moving anywhere.
10:53Don't you dare give in.
10:55Come on.
10:56Come on.
10:57Whoa!
10:58We're almost here.
10:59Someone get me a limo!
11:00I'm ready for my first temptation!
11:02Yes!
11:03Come on!
11:04Woo!
11:05I'm going to be honest with you.
11:06That was one of the biggest challenges I've done.
11:08Ah!
11:09Yes!
11:10Yes!
11:11Come on!
11:12Woo!
11:13I'm going to be honest with you.
11:15That was one of the biggest challenges I've done.
11:16Ah!
11:17Yes!
11:18Yes!
11:19Yes!
11:20Yes!
11:21Yes!
11:22Yes!
11:23Yes!
11:24It's your world, girl!
11:29Come on, baby.
11:32I'm just going to pretend I'm a sun, baby.
11:35I was a bit freaked out because I see if it is.
11:38But I just thought, mate, you've got to crawl like a cat,
11:41ain't ya?
11:4215 minutes after James and Charlie reached the summit...
11:46Push!
11:47That's it!
11:48Push!
11:49...Lani and Carolyn are just one third of the way up.
11:52Left.
11:53Right.
11:54Don't look at the top.
11:55Just keep going.
11:56It's so far away!
11:58Come on!
12:01We need help here, please, guys!
12:04I've never met people that are so, kind of, uncapable.
12:08Are we going to get a temptation?
12:11And is Lani going to crumble?
12:14Yo, we might need to go down and help Lani still.
12:17Come on!
12:18Come on!
12:19Yeah!
12:20Remember, if she leaves, that's 25k gone.
12:23See, look, these guys have come down.
12:25I promise you you got this, you know.
12:27That's it.
12:28There we go.
12:29Trust me.
12:30It's never ending!
12:31No, no, but when you're up there, you'll know it's ending
12:32and you can chill.
12:33Lani!
12:34Lani!
12:35That's it!
12:36There we go!
12:37We're cheering for you!
12:38That's it!
12:39That's it!
12:40There we go!
12:41Yeah, one last push!
12:42Yes!
12:43Come on!
12:44Woo!
12:45Oh, I'm so proud of you!
12:46So proud of you!
12:47It's fucking hard.
12:48I hate to do it.
12:49I'm lazy and I don't want to do it.
12:52I don't want to do it.
12:53I don't want to do it.
12:54I don't want to do it.
12:55I don't want to do it.
12:56I'm lazy and I don't, like, I drive everywhere.
12:59Literally, like, even to the corner shop.
13:01In my head, I'm like, oh, my God,
13:02is it going to get even worse than that?
13:03Like, it was such a struggle.
13:05Like, literally almost impossible.
13:08Time to face the first temptation.
13:11Across the next 18 days,
13:14our group will be tempted with easier ways to do the route.
13:18But as we know, everything comes at a price.
13:21Oh, we got a temptation up there.
13:23Temptation!
13:25To take a short cut to the first campsite,
13:28it'll cost three grand each.
13:32The Book of Temptations.
13:34Woo!
13:35Come on!
13:36We're going to grow to hate this book, I think.
13:38Welcome to the easy route.
13:39The route ahead runs through a field of arduous and quad-burning sand dunes.
13:44So why not avoid all that pain and help yourself to the easy route?
13:48Jump on the back of one of the quad bikes and you and your bag will be whisked away to your next campsite.
13:53It's up to each of you to decide whether you want to take it.
13:57The price is on display.
13:59It's $3,000.
14:00It's $3,000.
14:01$3,000.
14:02$3,000?
14:03$3,000?
14:04Fuck off!
14:05We ain't doing that.
14:06Hey, everybody happy about keep going?
14:08No one's taking the easy route, right?
14:09No one's going easy.
14:10We all want to go home with a bunch of money, right?
14:12Yes!
14:13Let's go!
14:14How are you feeling, Lana?
14:15Are you all right?
14:16Well, no one asked me.
14:17I feel you guys should ask people.
14:18Don't assume for me.
14:19Like, do you know what I mean?
14:20Do your thing, then?
14:21No one's assuming.
14:22We're just saying, let's do a step off.
14:23No, you guys all said no.
14:24Well, no one's taking it.
14:25Like, you never asked me.
14:26There's an individual choice, though.
14:27We ain't got to.
14:28They've asked us.
14:29We ain't got to ask.
14:30No, you said we.
14:31You said you guys and me.
14:32Do you want to take it?
14:33I know, but I'm just saying, please don't assume for me.
14:36Okay.
14:37Yeah, but if you want to, then go.
14:38I would just rather you ask.
14:39Well, I think she can just go the other way.
14:41If she wants to go the other way.
14:42I'm not going.
14:43I'm not going.
14:44No, no, no.
14:45I'm not going, but I'm not going.
14:46What Lani is saying, we all need to be asked individually.
14:49Lani was definitely tempted to take the quad bikes,
14:53but I ain't spending three grand out of my money
14:55to go get a fucking lift.
14:56No way.
14:57Let's try to make this easy as possible.
15:01Everyone's pushing me to the side.
15:03I don't matter.
15:04And if they continue to do that, I'm going to get frustrated,
15:06and then I'm going to become a brat,
15:08and then I'm going to spend all the money.
15:24Twelve strangers are on a back-breaking 18-day trek
15:28across South Africa to claim a share of 300 grand.
15:33We've only given them basic supplies.
15:36But along their journey,
15:38they're going to be confronted with temptations we've designed
15:41to make their trip a little easier.
15:44But every pound they spend on indulgence
15:47will come off their prize money.
15:50Argh!
15:51Go on.
15:53If we take, like, a run.
15:55Babe, do I look like I fucking run?
15:58Five hours in,
15:59and the 300 grand prize fund remains intact
16:02as everyone resisted the shortcut temptation.
16:06So now they have to endure miles of sand dunes.
16:10Listen, that was the hardest bit right there.
16:12Yeah.
16:13Everything else is downhill.
16:14Look at that.
16:15We need your, like, inspirational American accent.
16:17Let's go that way.
16:18Let's get it.
16:19Let's just go that way.
16:22I've been a leader since I was five years old.
16:24No matter what thing you got me doing,
16:26I want to be a leader.
16:27If I'm playing basketball, I want to be the leader.
16:30Well, no one's quitting.
16:31I'll make sure of that.
16:33Come on. Keep a hiking, guys.
16:35It can't be too much further.
16:41He said it's going to get easier.
16:42It's not going to get easier.
16:44There's more hills!
16:45The quad bike would have been nice.
16:47I keep thinking the sand dunes have ended,
16:49and then there's just another one,
16:51and another one,
16:52and another one.
16:53But I'm hoping soon
16:55we'll be somewhere near the camp.
16:57If you want me to go faster, just slap my ass.
16:59Oh, my God!
17:01Wow.
17:02There it is, baby.
17:04Oh, my goodness.
17:05We're home.
17:09Fucking hell.
17:11Finally, the group arrive at the Back to Basics camp
17:18with bog-standard facilities.
17:21Yep, they'll have to do a number two in a bucket.
17:27But there's another option which is way more appealing.
17:32There's another temptation.
17:34And it's a temptation that will be available at every campsite.
17:39It's eight grand.
17:40Winnebago.
17:41No.
17:42Anybody for the Winnebago?
17:43No.
17:44It's just not my weakness.
17:46I have my weakness.
17:47And that's not it.
17:48What is it?
17:49Lip gloss.
17:50Lip gloss.
17:52Right, listen.
17:53Someone start the fire.
17:54Right, who's got the tent stuff?
17:57Can I use that, please?
18:01I kind of thought I was going to have my own tent.
18:03I'm not going to lie.
18:04For me, this is a downside,
18:05that I have to sleep with people.
18:06I understand it's going to be cold,
18:07but it's a bit weird,
18:08because at the end of the day we just met.
18:11Ow!
18:13We are like a bunch of idiots
18:14that don't know what we're doing.
18:16All of us.
18:17We're all like chasing our own tails
18:18and we're not getting anywhere.
18:20It's already started to get dark now.
18:22It's got cold.
18:23We need to get cracking.
18:26Oh!
18:27Oh, shit.
18:28Day one, we've ripped the tent.
18:30Have you shot in a bucket before?
18:33I will now, I guess, right?
18:35But we're washing in the bucket, yeah?
18:37We can't get them mixed up with our poop buckets.
18:39I would literally die.
18:41I'm just washing my underwear.
18:43It smells like pee.
18:45Give them a sniff.
18:47I mean, they smell better.
18:51See, just got a beautiful look at that.
18:56Yeah, cool.
18:57That'll do, yeah?
18:59After the six-mile trek
19:04and both temptations of the day resisted,
19:07the group can get to know each other
19:09ahead of their first night in the African wilderness.
19:14I'm curious about Nan.
19:16What is your motivation for doing this?
19:18I've been widowed twice.
19:20Can you imagine that?
19:21First, when I was 25 and I was seven months pregnant.
19:25Second, when I was 43 and my husband died of a massive heart attack.
19:30I'm sorry.
19:31But I still got up.
19:32I still dusted myself down,
19:34and I still said,
19:35there's life out there, so go out and bloody live it.
19:38And that's what I want you all to do.
19:40Very inspirational.
19:41So that's my motivation to live life.
19:44You look at Nana.
19:45You look at this 65-year-old woman
19:47who was out here carrying two water bottles up a hill.
19:50Up a hill.
19:51It shows so much strength, you know?
19:54And that strength, everyone sees it.
19:56I do appreciate everybody not taking the temptations.
19:59Yeah.
20:00Whatever that's worth, guys.
20:01Well done.
20:02Well done.
20:03Quick one.
20:04Who do we all think, yeah?
20:06Is gonna crack first?
20:11If I really, really need something, you know, I can't promise you.
20:19Just to come in with the attitude,
20:21I'm just gonna take stuff.
20:23You're already telling yourself that you don't have any willpower.
20:26I think everyone did great today, man.
20:28Yeah.
20:29Seriously, everybody.
20:30Yeah.
20:31It came to a point where everybody struggled.
20:32Yeah.
20:33Even me.
20:34What?
20:35If we all help each other, we're all going home with a lot of money.
20:36Yeah.
20:37And that's what I want for all you guys, man.
20:38I think we're gonna leave you, James,
20:40to continue being our faithful leader.
20:42Leader.
20:43Leader.
20:44Leader.
20:45Leader.
20:46Sold.
20:47Yay!
20:48Get back for Biggie.
20:50If anybody gets up in the night, stick a log on it.
20:53Leave a gap for me, because I'm between you two.
20:55Woo-hoo!
20:57Love you.
21:01I feel like a fucking ugly butterfly trapped in a cocoon.
21:04This tent is shit.
21:05Sorry.
21:06It was a bug.
21:07It really came in.
21:08It came in my face.
21:09It's worse than I ever imagined.
21:10Sleeping on the floor isn't great.
21:11And it's cold and there's wind.
21:12And you're in a tight space.
21:13It's really bad.
21:14You could do it maximum for maybe one, two, three nights.
21:35I actually slept quite well, considering.
21:36Well, I'm glad fucking one of us did.
21:37Sorry.
21:38Someone in our tent breathes like...
21:39Like those snakes, I imagine.
21:40Someone kept going like...
21:41And I was like, snake.
21:42It's a snake.
21:43Somebody's snoring.
21:44I was like, it's a fucking bear!
21:45I slept awfully.
21:46Slept really, really, really badly.
21:47Maybe 25 minutes in total.
21:48I...
21:49I'm, like, craving a warm coffee so much.
21:52Right now, I mean, a coffee for, like, an amount of money I would easily take.
22:13I'm knackered.
22:14Oh, God.
22:15I feel like I'm in prison.
22:17Prisoner 624, open up.
22:20The rations for this 18-day trek is solely rice and beans.
22:26A daily intake of just 1,000 calories each.
22:30That's less than half the eat at home.
22:33I don't think I could eat it.
22:35Look at this.
22:37Oh!
22:38Oh!
22:43Oh!
22:44So bad.
22:46Oh!
22:47Oh!
22:48Oh!
22:49It's gritty.
22:50Oh!
22:51Oh!
22:52Oh!
22:53Oh!
22:54Oh!
22:55Oh!
22:56Oh!
22:57Oh!
22:58Oh!
22:59Oh!
23:00Oh!
23:01Oh!
23:02Oh!
23:03Oh!
23:04I can't eat that gruel.
23:05I can't eat that gruel.
23:06I wouldn't even feed that to a gutter rat.
23:08How are we feeling about the next day ahead?
23:11Oh!
23:12As long as it's not a sand dune, I'm happy.
23:14Guys!
23:15Oh!
23:16This is our plan.
23:17For today's challenge, they'll need all their energy.
23:21six miles through unforgiving sand and dense bush to their next campsite.
23:27And on their journey, we're going to challenge them to the first temptation of the day.
23:33The chance to get their morning fix.
23:41So what's everyone missing?
23:42Coffee!
23:43Oh, yeah.
23:44If they said, here's a cup of coffee for 100, right now, I might actually take that,
23:49because that's only a little dent.
23:50I wouldn't let you.
23:51I wouldn't let you.
23:52I know, sweetheart.
23:53But think about at home, if somebody was like, this coffee is going to be 100, you'd
23:57be like, no thanks.
23:58I miss my coffee.
23:59I have to say I'm a bit unsettled.
24:02Unsettled.
24:03All right, guys, we're moving out.
24:05Okay.
24:06All right.
24:07Moving on out.
24:08Let's go.
24:09You're going fast.
24:10Sorry.
24:11Sorry.
24:12I'm not doing them fucking steps.
24:22Just minutes after leaving camp, the group stumble across something us Brits spend
24:28five billion pounds on every year.
24:33Oh, my God.
24:34It's a coffee bomb.
24:35After a night's broken sleep in the wild.
24:38Oh, my God.
24:39A coffee's only 200.
24:40Can they resist?
24:41Man, you can get 200 coffees.
24:43Very concrete.
24:44It feels like these are mirages in the middle of these sand dunes.
24:49It's madness.
24:50Can I just smell it, brother?
24:52Is that all right?
24:54I want a coffee.
24:55No.
24:56No, Carolyn, no.
24:57I'm not.
24:58I'm just smelling it, all right?
24:59I'm just making sure it's fresh.
25:04That's my weakness.
25:05I love coffee.
25:06Everything's dripping inside.
25:08It's like, and the body's going, coming, coming, coffee.
25:18Everybody, thumbs up or thumbs down?
25:20I'm happy to skip.
25:21Please, can we go so I can get away from the pastry?
25:24Everybody happy?
25:25No.
25:26No.
25:27Everybody happy?
25:28Everybody good?
25:29All right.
25:30Let's keep it moving.
25:31I think, as a leader, my main task is to help them understand about the temptations that they don't actually need them.
25:38I'm proud of myself.
25:40I gave up.
25:42The smell of that coffee was just...
25:46God, if I could have nicked a bean and just spent my time sucking it along, I would have done.
25:55You could take the temptations and have a great time here.
25:59It just kills the pie.
26:00Yeah, man.
26:01It's extremely selfish.
26:04Come on, sweetie.
26:05You're doing brilliant.
26:06Come on.
26:07It would be nicer if I had, like, some of my stuff.
26:11What sort of stuff are you missing already?
26:13My phone, my lip gloss.
26:15Your phone you can live without?
26:16But even, like, deodorant.
26:18I don't want to smell.
26:19We're all going to be in the same boat.
26:20I know, but I don't like it.
26:25I don't go hiking.
26:26I don't go camping.
26:27And, like, they've taken all my stuff away.
26:30I just feel like everyone's on a different wavelength to me.
26:33Everyone's talking about teamwork.
26:35And, like, I don't care about teamwork.
26:37If I want something, why shouldn't I have it?
26:40Lainey, who's been kind of, like, the slower one,
26:43I feel like there's a bad energy aiming towards her.
26:46Having to spend a lot of time comforting her
26:49and keeping with her at the back and stuff.
26:51And there's a lot of people that just complain all the time about her.
26:54I don't want to climb that.
26:56You lot go.
26:57I'll catch up.
26:58I'm going to pee.
26:59Whoo!
27:01People always think that I'm very lazy.
27:03And also really ditzy.
27:05Which isn't actually true,
27:06because I got, like, six A's on my A-levels.
27:09But I don't mind people thinking that I'm ditzy,
27:11because I love playing the underdog role.
27:15Don't leave anyone behind!
27:19The quicker we move, the quicker we can get there.
27:21Bloody hell.
27:22How do you expect me to get that up there?
27:25Oh!
27:26Oh, my God!
27:34We got people way back there.
27:35We've got to wait.
27:39I want to go down and help them.
27:41I just, I don't have the energy,
27:43because I wouldn't make it.
27:4436 hours in,
27:49having resisted everything,
27:51the £300,000 remains intact.
27:55But with their rations providing only 1,000 calories a day,
27:59we've designed the toughest temptation yet.
28:05In the next valley,
28:07we've built an all-American diner,
28:10serving all the fast food they could ever want.
28:15It's a treat I definitely couldn't resist.
28:18Well, if I hadn't already eaten today.
28:20This is a disaster.
28:32If I have to eat that rice and beans gun,
28:35it's absolutely foul.
28:36I actually want to cry at the thought of eating that tonight.
28:39And it just tastes like horse shite.
28:42Do you know what I'd do for a Yorkshire pudding?
28:45I don't want to know what you're doing.
28:46Yeah, you don't want to know, darling.
28:50Whoa!
28:53Oh, my God, guys, look at this!
29:00All of a sudden, I'm on this surreal journey.
29:05I'm in South Africa.
29:08In the wild.
29:09And then all of a sudden, you see a diner.
29:12Oh, it's a mirage.
29:15Coffee.
29:16Oh, my God!
29:18Back at home,
29:19almost half of us eat fast food at least once a week.
29:25Oh, what is that?
29:27Oh!
29:28A diner!
29:30Oh, my God.
29:32What can I get you?
29:33No, no.
29:34What can I get you?
29:35This.
29:36I want a burger.
29:37Fucking diner up in the middle of nowhere.
29:41You never know what's around the next corner.
29:44And it looks so real.
29:48How did they bring this here?
29:50I'm just taking it in.
29:52She's fucking deciding now.
29:53We can't handle it.
29:54No.
29:55This is mental.
30:00No!
30:01Oh, my God, a burger!
30:02No!
30:03That looks sick.
30:04Oh, my God!
30:06Oh, I can smell the onions, bro.
30:08A juicy beef burger is 1,000.
30:11And an oh-so-siculent veggie burger is 1,000.
30:13This is mental.
30:14Fries 500.
30:16And shakes vanilla and chocolate 500.
30:19Juicy beef burger patty.
30:21Oh, my God.
30:22So good.
30:25I want a milkshake.
30:28I know, man.
30:29I know.
30:30Small bottle effect.
30:31One person does it, then everybody does it,
30:33and then we've lost half the money.
30:35Okay, I want a milkshake.
30:52The group are now 48 hours into a gruelling trek.
30:56They've resisted all the temptations we've put in their way.
31:00But that could be about to change.
31:04Okay, I want a milkshake.
31:05If Lani drinks the milkshake, that will be 500 pounds of the group's prize money gone.
31:12You sure you want it?
31:13Yeah.
31:14Can I have vanilla?
31:16The money you're spending is not your money, it's everybody's money you're spending.
31:19I don't feel myself.
31:20I feel really down and I need to pick me up.
31:22And it's better this than me leaving.
31:24That's 500 real, real, real money.
31:27I know, but it's my decision.
31:29Life's more important than money.
31:31You do realise if you do this now, you cannot quit.
31:33I'm not gonna quit.
31:34I'm not gonna quit.
31:36She spent 500, like, straight away out of everyone's money.
31:40Like, what the fuck?
31:42Listen, energies are reciprocated, yeah?
31:44If you fuck with someone, they'll fuck with you back.
31:46Let me enjoy my milkshake.
31:48Why am I trying for people who don't care about me and don't like me and make it obvious?
31:54Why am I trying?
31:55That's how I feel.
31:56That's how I feel.
31:58I just feel like people should have at least spoken to me and got to know me
32:02and maybe understood what I wanted from the experience rather than assuming for me.
32:06You don't have milkshakes. I don't care.
32:08No, but if we all do it, then the money will just...
32:10If we all do it, that's 20 grand.
32:12Fuck it. It's just money, isn't it?
32:14I'm less excited for the next few days now.
32:18And I have no idea how much money we could end up taking home, if any.
32:22We've all said no because we thought, right, no, we're cold, we're hungry.
32:27But you've come in and you've thought, right, Dinah, that.
32:30Yeah, but what's wrong with that?
32:31If I wanted temptation, I'm supposed to take it.
32:33It's pissed everyone off so much.
32:34And you can tell the tension's there.
32:36I'm not weak.
32:37No, you're cracked, though.
32:38I didn't crack.
32:39You're cracked.
32:40I want people to be nicer to me.
32:41But no, they're not, though.
32:42I don't mind, babe.
32:44I actually think this could be a little blackmail.
32:47Well, you weren't nice to me, so I'm going to buy me.
32:49But I'm not going to play into that game.
32:51Would you say it's worth half a grand?
32:54Nah, I don't think so.
32:55I feel like now the floodgates are opened and it's...
33:03Niagara Falls is on the horizon.
33:07I don't see it getting any better.
33:09I can only see it getting worse.
33:10I feel like the group has decided from the start,
33:12because I'm slow, that I'm the weak one.
33:15So I just thought, if you guys are going to treat me
33:18like I'm the weak one and that I'm inferior,
33:20then I'm going to be a bitch.
33:22The group are now 72 hours into a trek to win a fortune.
33:39If any of them leave, one flight home to the UK
33:43will cost the group £25,000 of their prize fund.
33:48Can I ask you a question?
33:51Mm-hm.
33:52What made you take this challenge on, then?
33:54I mean, just because, like, I think I can do it.
33:57I can just...
33:58But I'll just do it, like, my own way, at my own pace,
34:00do you know what I mean?
34:01No.
34:02All of us, probably, except you, has come into this going,
34:05we are not going to give in to temptation.
34:08Yeah.
34:09Wish we had that attitude.
34:10Really?
34:11All I want you to do is take that one moment,
34:13that one moment of thinking,
34:16do I need it or do I want it?
34:18Yeah, definitely.
34:19All right?
34:20Mm-hm.
34:21And if you want it and you really need it,
34:23you go for it, girl.
34:25All right?
34:26I won't go.
34:27I won't take everything.
34:28Of course you won't.
34:29Although everyone's scared that I'm going to...
34:30No, you won't.
34:31You won't.
34:32The whole milkshake situation,
34:35I am very much of the opinion
34:38that we all just need to talk about it, clear the air,
34:41so we can move on.
34:42The thing is it doesn't feel like real money
34:44because it's just up in the air.
34:46One thing you've got to remember,
34:47temptations only last for a certain amount of seconds.
34:50Like, think about our first temptations.
34:52We don't even think about it now.
34:53No, I'm different, guys.
34:55Obviously, I know some of you might get to the end
34:58without taking anything,
34:59but from the beginning,
35:00I knew I would take one or two.
35:02Minimum.
35:04Me, personally, I don't have to have 25.
35:07I'm okay with taking 15.
35:09If you all had a treat,
35:10I wouldn't be mad at you.
35:12I'm just telling you what I'm going to do.
35:15What's to stop everybody else from doing it?
35:17And now that 500 turns into 5,000.
35:20This game is about avoiding them temptations.
35:22I don't think so.
35:23I don't think this game's about that.
35:24It's an experiment.
35:25Experiment about what?
35:26The temptation at the end is money.
35:29So you don't care about taking the money home.
35:31Making somebody be uncomfortable
35:32who doesn't want to
35:33because you want money is also selfish.
35:35Her rationale is quite understandable.
35:38She doesn't need the 25K.
35:41She wants the full experience.
35:43So she'd be happy to take 20.
35:45So that gives you 5,000 to spend.
35:48So that's got into my mindset now.
35:52You've got to be a team player together.
35:54But she ain't a team player.
35:56If it's a democracy and we have to vote,
35:58then you have to go with what the majority vote is.
36:00But when do I vote?
36:01Well, if you voted no, yeah,
36:02and we all voted yeah to avoid it,
36:03then you've got to go with it.
36:04You've got to go with it.
36:05You've got to force me.
36:06I'm forcing you.
36:07Come into the experiment to take temptations.
36:09What are the temptations?
36:10Home comforts.
36:11Why don't you just stay at home,
36:12then enjoy your home comforts from home?
36:14Charlie's barking up the wrong tree.
36:16I'm the type of person,
36:17when someone's being mean to me,
36:18I just become a total bitch.
36:21Guys, pick up a water.
36:23Yeah, I'm grabbing one.
36:25The team tackle the first physical ordeal of the day.
36:31A steep four-mile trek to their next camp.
36:34This is quite tough.
36:36Definitely not the route you choose to take.
36:39I think we'll camp at the top.
36:44How much longer, guys?
36:45Too long.
36:46I don't enjoy struggling.
36:54I'd rather take the easy route.
36:56Even, like, if I wanted to lose weight,
36:58I'd rather get lipo than go to the gym.
37:01That's just how I am.
37:02A few days into the trek,
37:07the feet are aching and they're hot and sticky.
37:11They've almost forgotten what a hot shower
37:13and a clean pair of underpants feels like.
37:16I know I have.
37:21I can't... I don't feel like waiting anymore.
37:23I'm gonna be honest, I don't feel like waiting.
37:25The team have now split into three.
37:28With James, Charlie, Truly and Michelle steaming ahead.
37:33Well, guys, it fucking pisses me off.
37:35We're fucking...
37:36Do you know what I mean?
37:37Yeah.
37:38Like, what the fuck?
37:39What did I just sign up for?
37:40That's bullshit.
37:41Yeah, I know.
37:42Trailing 500 metres behind,
37:44Carolyn, Lani, Jack and Dan have stopped for a break.
37:48I came into this and I told my family this.
37:51There's no way they can tempt me with anything, you know?
37:54I'm 65, there's nothing they can tempt me with
37:57because I know in 18 days I can have it.
38:00But I'm now changing towards Lani's stance.
38:04If something comes along that just enhances this experience,
38:11I will take it.
38:13I feel like if you can have a good time,
38:16have a little treat but still take something home,
38:19I think it's a win-win.
38:20Everyone's come into this experiment for different things.
38:22For example, like, I really want to test myself.
38:24Yeah.
38:25We're all trying to get through.
38:28And as time has gone on, I've learned
38:31this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
38:34And it's always been my dream to do a safari.
38:37So, right now, I would snap your arm off for it.
38:41Well, out here, their wish is our command.
38:49And their willpower's about to be tested again.
38:54By a luxury safari lodge package.
38:58But as we know, these temptations don't come cheap.
39:11Aw.
39:13Lodge getaway.
39:14Shut up.
39:15Take a friend for free.
39:17This is epic.
39:18Wow.
39:19How much was it? 4,000?
39:234,000.
39:244,000.
39:25Why?
39:26Just wondering.
39:27Private chef serving delicious dinner and breakfast.
39:30Just remember, yeah, after one good night,
39:32we're going to have another 13 baths.
39:33And then you're going to come back to the camp,
39:35and everybody hates you.
39:36Looks like we're all snuggling tightly in the tent.
39:39That did look quite tempting, to be fair.
39:42Who's with Lani's group?
39:43That's what I want to know.
39:44Oh, shit.
39:45Oh, shit.
39:48Oh, my God, guys.
39:51Ah!
39:52Oh, for God's sake.
39:54Oh, my God.
39:58Queen-sized beds.
40:00Private chef.
40:01Far-reaching ocean views.
40:03Please take a friend for free.
40:05I seriously am looking at that.
40:15It's always been my dream to do a safari.
40:18That, to me, is well worth the money.
40:20Well worth it.
40:22Day three of the fortune hunter's journey,
40:25and for some, the Safari Lodge package
40:28is proving hard to resist.
40:31I mean, look at it.
40:32I couldn't pay for that.
40:35I want to go.
40:37They're getting more and more tempting, aren't they?
40:39If you said take a friend, that's two grand each.
40:42Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:43Two grand each.
40:45Right now, that's something
40:49I would never be able to pay for.
40:52Oh, there'll be some thunder.
40:55Whilst Carolyn deliberates,
40:57the two leading groups have arrived at their next camp.
41:01Do you know if anybody, um,
41:03took the temptation in the other group?
41:05We didn't, so...
41:07You don't know?
41:08No, we haven't.
41:09My main concern is Lonnie,
41:11who I think will be tempted to take this temptation,
41:13and, um, she's trying to recruit people.
41:15But unfortunately, everyone looks up to me.
41:17If I can get everyone to kind of think about everybody else,
41:20and not just themselves,
41:22it would be a lot easier to pass up these temptations.
41:26One thing I'm a bit worried about,
41:28where's the rest of them?
41:30And I really hope that they didn't take the temptation.
41:33No.
41:34I think I'd be fuming, to be honest.
41:36My baby!
41:37Here we go.
41:38One.
41:39Two.
41:40Three.
41:41Woo!
41:42Oh, my God.
41:43Shut up.
41:44Wait, where's Lonnie?
41:45Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
41:46Where's Lonnie?
41:47Come on, Lonnie.
41:48Come in, come in, come in, come in, come in.
41:49Come in, come in, come in, come in.
41:51Here we go.
41:52Go, go, go.
41:53Go!
41:54Oh, my God, shut up.
41:55Where's Lonnie?
41:56Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
41:57Where's Lonnie?
41:58Come on, Lonnie.
41:59Coming, come in, come in, coming.
42:00Coming, coming, coming.
42:08I will take a treat.
42:10But not now.
42:13I would never get back in the tent again
42:15if I slept in a bed.
42:16I never would.
42:18Oh, I'm gashed to see them.
42:19Oh, yeah.
42:20Nice to see them.
42:21Woo!
42:24Santé, you stay!
42:26Obviously, I'm happy that no-one took temptation,
42:29but, you know, that is teamwork.
42:39What did you all think about that night
42:41in that safari luxury lodge?
42:44So no-one was tempted?
42:46Yeah, no. It obviously had been an amazing experience.
42:49I just couldn't come back to the camp after that night.
42:52It would have been so good. Thank you.
42:53But I know that Nana really, really wanted that.
42:55I'm going to tell you now that if that comes up again,
42:58I will be taking it.
43:03I didn't take it today for the simple reason is
43:07coming back to sleep in this tent after being in a bed,
43:11it would have broken me.
43:12Nana, I don't think you would take it, Nana.
43:13You wouldn't take 4,000? You wouldn't do that to it, Nana.
43:16I would. Let me be absolutely honest.
43:18That experience there, I couldn't buy.
43:22I'll never get to South Africa again.
43:25Well, you can say that about anything, then.
43:27I know, James.
43:28James, and I appreciate that,
43:30and I appreciate that you want us all to get through
43:33not spending any money,
43:35but I'm going to be absolutely honest with you...
43:37That's a plug gate, man.
43:38...that I want an experience while I'm here.
43:41Isn't this an experience, though?
43:43But that is something I couldn't buy.
43:46I think a lot of them are in the wrong mindset
43:48for why they're here,
43:50because it's not a case of going,
43:52oh, you mustn't take anything.
43:54This is an experience.
43:57Every temptation we had is a once-in-a-lifetime temptation.
44:01You're never going to get a fucking milkshake in a bar
44:03in the middle of fucking nowhere.
44:05You'll never get that experience again.
44:07I think we need to remember, as well,
44:08at home, that would not cost you and your friends
44:10£4,000 to come to South Africa
44:12and stay one night in there.
44:14Do you understand what I'm saying?
44:15You could buy a week's safari with the winnings,
44:17you know what I mean?
44:18You could actually go for a week to a safari,
44:20not for one night.
44:21But it doesn't work like that.
44:22You see, you don't understand.
44:23My dream is to be on a safari.
44:27And this is the closest I've come to it.
44:30My life is a lot shorter than all of yours.
44:33I want that experience because I really can't buy it.
44:37Money isn't everything.
44:39I understand that people are like,
44:40you know, it's our money, it's our money.
44:42You can't be forceful with your opinions.
44:44We have to meet.
44:45It doesn't have to be in the middle,
44:46but it can at least be, like, 80, 20.
44:49Some people in the group don't give a damn
44:51how much they're going home with,
44:53as long as they can kind of have fun.
44:56It's just a selfish kind of decision.
44:59I don't like that, and I don't respect it.
45:01Lots of people in the group obviously are saying
45:03they don't want to take anything, which is fine.
45:06But then what that becomes is, like, peer pressure
45:08for everyone to not take anything.
45:10It's gonna start a snowball effect.
45:13We make our own choices,
45:14but these choices do affect the rest of the team.
45:18I feel like people might crack.
45:23So what are we doing then?
45:24Let's just blow it all.
45:25Let's just blow it all then.
45:26We're not gonna blow it all, James.
45:27Let's do it.
45:28James, stop that.
45:29We're not blowing it all.
45:31If I said, okay, guys, I won't take it,
45:35and everybody else, I'll go away,
45:37and I'll think, all I've done is given in to you all,
45:42because you want to go away with the maximum money.
45:47Oh, my God.
45:51Next time on Tempting Fortune.
45:53Whoa!
45:54You okay?
45:55He's been eaten by a hippo.
45:56Listen!
45:57I am getting pissed off with you all.
46:00Oh, Jesus Christ.
46:02As the group divides,
46:03will they put themselves first
46:05and take a secret temptation?
46:07Hot chocolate.
46:08Do I want it?
46:09Do I want it?
46:10Oh, man.
46:12Do you want or need it?
46:13I want that.
46:14I'm pissed as fuck, man.
46:16I'm boiling inside.
46:17What the fuck?
46:18The walk of shame.
46:22Guys!
46:23Welcome to the dark side.
46:40of stands.
46:45I want it.
46:52I want it!
46:53The live wasn't.
46:55Yeah.
46:57You know what, Wolfgang,
46:58and McAdèle Specgar?
47:01Where could you think"?
47:02What you're thinking is you keep in mind?
47:04Right?
