Shatner: Previously, 12 celebrities embarked
On an unprecedented experiment on mars.
We have no running water.
We need you to rappel down a cliff,
Extract water from the roof of the cave system.
Ariel: Oh, no! The water's getting out!
- We're done. No more water. - Computer: Mission failed.
Okay, it's down to our base commander and tom.
The only person that we could blame was the leadership.
Shatner: Now ten celebrities remain.
Tonight on "stars on mars"...
Oh, my god!
I'm seeing some, like, alliances forming here,
- You need to step up. - Okay.
- ( alarm blaring ) - fire!
Computer: Evacuate immediately.
Every day, something.
Go, go!
- ( all shouting ) - oh, god!
Ronda: If this little social network falls apart,
It's gonna be a terrible experience for everybody.
- Tom: I'm a ( bleep ) shoveling pioneer. - ( gags )
And I think I'm a future dark horse.
( music playing )
- How did you sleep? - I slept okay.
- There was a lot of, like, ( bleep ) going on last night. - Banging? Clanging?
Porsha was like, "there's a dog in our room," at, like, 3 am.
- We think she was hallucinating. - Yeah.
We've been here in the hab for a while,
And I think for some people it can feel like you're getting cabin fever out here.
Is this place driving me crazy? Yeah, of course.
The only good thing is that I was crazy before I got here.
I know I heard this. Like, pats.
And I heard-- ( whimpering )
So I screamed-- I said, "girls!
There's a dog in here! There's a dog!"
So she wakes up like, "is she tripping?"
No one barked, porsha.
Five minutes later, I hear-- ( barks )
That was not what happened.
You are hearing a full-blown dog, and there's no dog?
Then you need to go home.
We're officially losing it.
I'm losing it. I was scared.
- I'm losing my damn mind. - ( barking )
The tough part is just-- it's just sitting around.
Away from your family and kids,
And it's a bit overwhelming.
I had not heard of space madness and losing your mind,
And I think I'm experiencing it.
Ooh, I'm almost afraid
'cause I'm not in the mood today.
- So I'm like-- - oh, this is bad.
So, we're just getting going.
I'm just-- give me patience today
'cause otherwise I'm out the house by the end of the day.
- No, you ain't. - I'm close.
The long game here is brutal, right?
The mental side of this is torture.
- Hi! - Travis: Dumpling.
Ronda: Da-da-da! Hi, my beautiful angel.
Travis: She was being so cute right now.
You gotta hang up. You gotta hang up. I can't.
Travis: Hang in there, babe. You're doing great.
I love ya.
Robot: Arf, arf.
( alarm blaring )
Arf, arf.
Computer: Attention, all crew.
Mission control heard you're feeling blue,
So here's a new friend just for you.
- ( gasping, screaming ) - oh, my god! What is that?
- There's a rat! - A rat? A rat? Is it a rat?
- Robot: Arf. - Oh, my god!
- Ariel: It's a robot dog! - Arf, arf.
- I hate robots. - Arf.
Computer: This is your emotional support dog.
You'll be taking turns to look after it.
We should name him roomba.
- Marisha! 'cause we're on mars. - Hey, marisha, this way.
- Porsha: I named the dog marisha... - Ah, he's following me!
...But then I felt like marisha was a little aggressive with me.
Like, she started chasing me.
Arf, arf. Arf, arf, arf.
( yelps )
I didn't like that dog.
- I got you. - Hi, baby!
Sit.
Okay.
Good-- good girl. Good girl. Good sit.
Good girl.
A robot dog certainly was not as cuddly as a real doggie,
But it'll do.
Computer: Lance and tinashe,
It's time to walk the dog.
- Arf, arf. - Tinashe: All right.
Let's go for a walk, baby. Come on.
Marisha, fetch!
- Go get the ball. - Get it!
Go get the ball.
You do realize now we're gonna have to pick that ball up.
Tinashe: Who do you think should be the next base commander?
Lance: I don't know. I was pretty adamant I don't wanna do that.
- I just, like-- - why not?
'cause I like to go outside.
I just think it's lame to sit there and read directions.
- Yeah. - I think it's just important because we're not able
To successfully complete these missions.
Right, I don't think we've found
Our perfect base commander yet, or the best one yet.
Tinashe: There have been times where I've felt very underestimated,
And so this has just been a theme of mine, I think, throughout my life
Of just feeling kind of like the underdog.
You know? You can't just write me off that easily. I'm a fighter.
- I still think I'd be a good option sometime. - I agree. I'd vote for that.
Tinashe: I am just a competitive person,
And I didn't sign up for this any other reason than to win.
So, next time base commander comes up for grabs, I might put my hand up.
- Just don't vote me out. - If I'm base commander,
I'm gonna do whatever it takes
To make sure that you thrive, lancé.
- Okay, good. - I got your back.
All right, ditto. Ditto. Okay, I have one more question.
When are you gonna follow me on instagram?
When we get outta here. When we get back to earth.
Arf, arf.
You guys don't have that one phobia of people making loud sounds while they eat, do you?
No. What are you about to do?
- Oh. Oh, my god. - Oh, god.
- Is that just tabasco sauce? - It's really hot.
Yeah, are you gonna-- like, is your ass gonna be okay?
Yeah.
Open sesame!
- Okay. - I never get used to that.
If I had to put my money on anyone
To be here to the very end, it's tinashe.
She's highly competitive, ambitious,
And she's very likable.
She's not going anywhere.
- I wanna know your thoughts. - All right, let's go in here.
- Okay. - What up, lance?
- How was it? - I survived.
- What are you thinking? - The last two missions,
I thought our biggest issue was communication.
- Yeah. - I have the ideas, and I have the leadership.
- Yeah. - But then when it comes to actually getting people
To listen to me, sometimes I'm like, "can you guys not hear me?"
- I know. - You know? Like, my volume level--
Like, that voice that pierces through.
I could see this little bit of competiveness in tinashe,
And I do think that she would be
A really good base commander,
But she can be a little soft spoken.
So I think somebody who has a strong voice
That's gonna cut through the chaos,
And I think ariel will be able to do that.
( indistinct chatter )
- Are these the dinners from 100 days ago? - Yes.
- Oh, what about curry! - Oh, my god.
Do I eat them in this little aluminum bag?
I cannot. Freeze dried curry?
You need to be the mission-- you need to be the base control on the next mission.
- Sure. Okay. - You need to step up.
I think ariel is a great leader.
She's a really direct communicator.
She's a small girl,
But she is gonna get people, like, whipped.
I'm gonna be your campaign manager, I think.
I was voted that I should be the first commander,
Um, and I didn't allow myself to do that.
- No, no, no-- no. - Yes. The next few days.
It's gonna be really awkward if I fail. I-- no.
I gave it away, and I need to have the confidence in myself
To do things that I definitely, definitely can do.
- Arf, arf... - ( alarm blaring )
Computer: Incoming message.
Okay. All right, all right.
Incoming message from shatty daddy.
Adam: All right, we're here!
It's time to choose a new base commander.
- Oh. - Oh.
- Tinashe. - I--
You guys know that I feel that I would like to give myself
The opportunity to show some leadership and be base commander.
If you were to be base commander,
What would you do to make sure I'm not in the bottom three?
You know what? From here on out, no more bottom three.
Tom, I would just make sure that your skills are utilized in the correct way,
And I think that that's probably the biggest thing
That we should all try to focus on at this point.
Wait, I'm gonna say what I think.
I do wanna be base commander one day,
But I really think ariel would be a great base commander.
I think ariel would be a great base commander.
Porsha: Ariel should be base commander.
She's a great communicator.
I mean, you can hear her voice
From miles away, galaxies away.
I don't really like public speaking.
- I like giving direction. - You're, like, an actress.
So-- yeah, but, like, I don't like that, you know?
I don't like being me and speaking,
So I'm not really great at advocating for myself in this position.
Richard: All right, let's throw the vote together.
Do I give this to you? Do I just keep my paper?
Give it-- yeah, give to shawn.
Marshawn: After tallying up all the votes,
The base commander is...
- Tinashe. - ( cheering )
I've definitely wanted to be base commander,
But whatever is best for the team.
So I'm kind of like, "I'll wait until-- when it's right."
Ariel, you good in the streets, I know. You know what I mean?
- You're gonna get there. It's inevitable. - I wasn't stressed.
- We need to respect democracy, guys. - It's fine.
She'll get there eventually.
Computer: Tinashe, as the new base commander,
You now have exclusive access to the base commander suite.
Hey, I ain't giving up this room though! But I appreciate it.
Hey, all I'm saying is I got the base commander suite on lock.
You're no longer the commander. Why are you still in that room?
Didn't nobody want it.
Marshawn said he wasn't giving up the room,
So I think that this will be the test
To see how she performs as base commander.
Tinashe: Marshawn, let me holler at you.
How do you feel about moving out of base commander suite?
Tallulah didn't take the room,
But I think I'll probably just take the room,
Out of, you know, asserting my dominance.
Okay, this is ( bleep ) nice.
- ( marshawn laughs ) - this is nice.
Take care of my room.
This feels right. This feels right.
You kicked him out of his room, for real?
- Yeah. - Oh!
Tinashe is not ( bleep ) around!
- She is no-- ah! - Oh, my god.
Dang, he just walked by with a cowboy hat on.
- You cannot play around here. - How did you do that?
That man said he was not leaving the room. How did you do that?
Ba-damn! Okay!
Do that, miss base commander!
- Shatner: Coming up... - Computer: Emergency.
- Fire! - Evacuate immediately.
- Somebody wake up porsha. - ( gags )
Evacuate immediately.
- Go, go, go, go! Go! - Come on, every--
( all screaming )
( music playing )
♪ I rock a 30, but today I rock a regular ♪
- ( indistinct chatter ) - ( music continues )
Computer: Tinashe, as new base commander,
It is your job to assign today's base duties to your crew.
So these are the duties for today.
I think we need a couple people on cleanup crew.
- Tom, ariel, and adam, you're on cleaning duty. - Adam: Yes.
- I love to clean. - Tinashe: It's so nice to have fresh food in here.
I feel like we need more.
So, natasha, maybe you could harvest some vegetables with ronda?
- Maybe make us a little salad? - Oh!
- Yes. - Tinashe: Awesome.
Maybe we get the day started with a workout.
I think marshawn and richard, you guys would kill that.
- Oh, yeah. - So that would be awesome.
Everybody got it? Boom!
( indistinct chatter )
Computer: All crew, critical reminder,
Lower gravity on mars can cause muscle wastage.
Engage exercise protocols.
Oh!
We ain't go backwards though.
- Yeah, that'd be tough for them. - ( bleep )
Richard: I am having a little bit of a hard time,
But I'm always happy when you're doing these workouts,
And you're doing a boot camp.
Do what? Which one? Show me, show me.
- Backwards. - Backwards?
Oh, the this-- this guy backwards?
- Marshawn: I told you. - ( laughter )
Of course, she is.
But ronda's really killing it, you know?
She's got great footwork.
Marshawn: ♪ when I wake up in the morning... ♪
Great teammate. Great person to have around.
( grunting )
You know, it's just been really, really cool, um,
The way our friendship has developed.
I'm here. I'm ready to work out.
- Great. - Yeah!
Let's do a little warm-up on the treadmill.
Okay.
You know, I do feel a little useless
Around some of these olympians...
Tickle your fancy.
...And professional athletes.
( grunts )
They're just way beyond where the rest of us are.
- ( grunting ) - mm-hmm.
( laughs )
- Yeah! - Come on, vanderpump!
Do over!
- That's not right. - No, it's gotta touch--
It's gotta touch inside and outside.
Tom: I've seen some alliances forming while I'm here.
Um, ronda and richard and marshawn.
- Just-- just-- right, left. - Let's see it. Let's see it.
- Right, left, right... - For me, I feel like
I'm starting to crack a little bit.
- Ooh! - There you go. Arms, arms, arms.
The last mission, I was in the bottom three.
That's, like, two times in a row.
Um, it's just unacceptable.
Not so far back. Back, back.
You look like mario brothers.
There you go. There you go.
Richard: Your feet getting better.
I'm getting to old man territory.
I want to be mission critical, as they say here on mars.
So, working on that.
- God, I love cleaning so much. - Me, too.
There's literally nothing like seeing all this dirty ( bleep )...
- I know. Eww. - And then watching it get so clean.
Oh, my god, it's disgusting. Literally, so heinous.
Okay.
- Okay, we need lettuce. - Okay.
Computer: Fresh food provides a sensory connection to earth,
Boosting crew morale and overall mental and nutritional health.
Let's try and keep the rootball intact so it'll grow back.
- Oh, and then it grows again? - Yeah.
- How do you know that? Oh, you have a farm. - I grow lettuce sometimes.
The garden is definitely helping me keep sane on mars.
It's like a little bit of home.
Tomatoes look good. They'd be good for the salad.
It's tough living off of freeze-dried ice cream
And everything that's packaged and processed.
- That's beautiful. Ronda! - ( laughs )
I love this other side of you. You're, like, earth mother.
Ronda: I don't know, man. I'm not sure about that.
I have a reputation for being an ( bleep ) I have to uphold.
Ronda is fascinating.
I was really scared to come here
Because people were like, "she's a bitch."
She's not a bitch at all.
They really didn't help you, did they, buddy?
She's got a huge heart.
Oh, you got a good rootball though. I have high hopes for you.
I'm just kind of in awe of her.
Do you wanna bring this in
And then bring it back
So I can empty this stuff out and...
Everyone likes her. She just gives you so much.
- Richard: Hey, rowdy. - What up?
- You need help? - Yeah, if you want to water
- The rootballs on all of these. - Hey, little plants.
Live! Live!
They appreciate the positivity.
You gotta speak to 'em. You guys are doing great. Fantastic. Beautiful.
Hello. You know where your room is now?
Why you come over here? Out of all the space in here,
- This is where you choose to come? - This isn't your room.
I don't think we wanna keep letting you use this.
You know what? You sick. You sick.
( laughs )
Aah!
Was it your decision to get into acting or were you kind of more...
- I was four, so it's-- you know. - Oh, wow.
- You don't really decide anything at four. Yeah. - Wow, four.
Ariel: I was so scared leading into this.
I didn't really know any of them personally,
But we're bonding.
My experience was rotten.
Do you think that kind of experience is inevitable,
- Or do you feel... - No, no. I'm--
Well, it depends on the parent. It depends on your parent.
- So... - Mm.
Tinashe: I'm really impressed with ariel.
You really have to be a strong personality
And a strong woman and have a really strong sense of self
To be operating in the entertainment industry.
I relate to that.
All right, see you in the morning.
Good night.
( electricity crackling )
- ( alarm blaring ) - computer: Emergency.
Fire detected in the bio dome.
Fire! Oh, my god, there's a fire!
- Somebody wake up porsha. - You guys aren't moving fast enough!
- There's a fire! - Where do we go?
- Fire. - Computer: Risk of explosion detected.
Evacuate immediately.
Ariel: It said evacuate.
My goodness.
Every day, something.
- Get your ( bleep ) on. - Evacuate.
Computer: Explosion is imminent. Explosion is imminent.
- ( overlapping shouts ) - come on, let's go!
- Go, go! Let's go! - Quick! Come on, everyone!
- Quick, quick, quick! - Come on!
- Go, go! - ( all screaming )
( gasping )
- We gotta go! We gotta go! - ( overlapping shouts )
( all screaming )
Oh, god. Turn around. Oh, my god.
Did you see that ( bleep )?
Oh, god.
Our hab! The hab!
Computer: The hab pressure has been compromised.
Assessing damage.
It better not be the plants.
I swear to god. I just worked so hard on those.
Fire neutralized. Hab secure.
All right, everyone. Get in the hab.
In the hab. Turn around.
All life support systems operational.
Richard: We would be totally screwed.
If this wasn't an experiment,
We'd be burnt up into a crisp,
And I've had enough. I have had enough.
Computer: Mission control is formulating a plan overnight
And you will be alerted with further instructions.
Y'all, that was nice in there!
That was the last salad we'll ever eat.
That was my little koi pond by the time I was done with it.
Computer: Please stand by.
( music playing )
( alarm blaring )
Incoming message from mission control.
From earth.
Lance: We've had a fire in the bio dome.
We don't know the full extent of the damage.
It feels like it's gonna be a long day.
- All right, here we go. - Give us shatty daddy.
- Oh! - He's here, he's here!
- Ah! - Hello, crew.
- Shatty. - Shatty daddy.
An explosion in the bio dome
Has destroyed your food supply in a fiery inferno.
You need to repair the bio dome
And replant your crops before it's too late.
Because if you run out of food,
You may or may not have to eat each other.
Oh.
Ha, ha. Just kidding. Not kidding.
Your base commander has all of the information you need.
Later, they'll determine who was mission critical
And who was not.
This mission will test your survival skills
And will earn you the coveted survivalist mission patch.
Commander, pick your mission specialist.
They will be safe from extraction. Good luck.
All right, crew, that's all the information that I know, but you heard the man.
- I would love to pick ariel as my mission specialist. - Yeah!
I chose ariel as my mission specialist
Because she likes to boss people around,
So I think she's gonna be a very good asset for me.
Thanks, guys. Yay!
Computer: Base commander, a hole in the bio dome
Means your farm is exposed to cosmic radiation and cannot be entered.
In phase one, you must assign a ladder crew to carry out repairs.
Once the hole is sealed and the pressure test is successful,
It's safe to reenter the bio dome and initiate mission phase two,
Replanting of the crops.
Porsha, you are gonna climb one of the ladders.
Lance is also climbing the ladder, please.
- And, marshawn, you'll have to hold his ladder. - Oh, my god.
Richard, you'll have to hold porsha's ladder.
Thank you for putting richard on my ladder.
You guys are gonna be great.
Computer: If you do not complete this mission
Within 25 minutes, the soil be useless
Due to overexposure to radiation,
And the plants will not regrow.
Your time starts now.
- Ready team? Let's get it! - Yes! We're ready!
- Let's go! - All: One, two, three!
Family!
Computer: Mission phase one, 23 minutes remaining.
Porsha: If we don't have any fresh food,
We're gonna have to eat this vacuum-sealed food.
So we are really about to suffer for real.
- Come on, team! - Please exit the hab.
- Age before beauty. - ( laughing )
You guys are saving our food. Yes!
Marshawn is upset that he doesn't get to drive the rover.
- He's a big baby. - Get out the--
- Get in the back. - Let's keep the extra communications
To a minimum, please. Thank you.
( rap music playing )
- Who's shaking it? - ( music continues )
- ( music stops ) - you okay, marshawn?
- Yeah. - Computer: Mission phase one,
20 minutes remaining.
Tinashe: Outdoor team, you need to collect
The supplies from the rover and the two ladders
And patch the exterior of the bio dome.
Copy that?
Copy.
I'm gonna pull up a little bit
So we have the trailer right here.
Porsha: I definitely want to be mission critical.
It is not time for me to go home.
I have so much more to do,
And each task is getting to the next level
And I'm preparing.
Ariel: Guys, our clock is running out.
Of course it is. Let's go!
Where's the bottom of the hole?
This will be fun trying to get this ( bleep ) off.
All right, I'll do this part.
- You got those scissors? - Nope, but let me--
- What's that? - A rock.
- What the ( bleep )? We don't need a rock. - ( bleep )
Just cut the ( bleep ) tape with the rock.
Marshawn, please communicate.
Damn! Improvise. Where your big head at?
Computer: Mission phase one, 12 minutes remaining.
- Clear on this side. - Copy that.
Can we get the tarp to the hole that's at the top still?
I am sweating my ass off.
Guy, you guys need to tape
The whole upper of the top and the middle...
- We got it. We got it. - We are. We are. We are.
Ariel: Okay. Okay, great.
We just wanted to make sure.
Whoever is not taping, please put one of the ladders back.
Ariel, shut up. You talk too much.
Oh.
All right, lance, watch yourself.
Computer: Mission phase one,
4 minutes 20 seconds remaining
Until soil is irreversibly contaminated from cosmic radiation.
- Porsha: Oh, boy. - How those heights doing for you, porsha?
( grunts ) it's good.
All right, just keep going, keep going, keep going.
You know, richard, I could tell he just wasn't really in it.
He was holding the ladder, he was doing what he need to do.
But he was just going through the motions.
And I started to see him mentally leave base.
My role is to hold the ladder. It doesn't seem mish crit.
Okay, there we go. I did it. I did it!
- Whoo! - ( laughs )
Thank goodness. We got it done.
Computer: Pressure test sequence initiated
To ensure the seal is secure.
Pressure stabilized.
Phase one of mission successful.
The bio dome is now sealed.
You guys did an amazing job!
( cheering )
Great communication, team.
Ladder crew must return to the decontamination zone
And await further instruction.
Commence mission phase two.
Next crew, please enter the farm hab.
Let's go.
I really hope that the bio dome didn't get destroyed.
Oh, my god.
Dude, I worked so hard on these.
My babies.
Yeah, it's a disaster.
- Ronda: The bio dome blew up. - Oh, my god.
All of our veggies are dead.
Ronda: Not having fresh food
Is definitely a big hit to our morale.
Computer: Bio dome crew,
Please make your way to the adjacent septic room.
You must transfer 94 cups of human bio waste
From the septic tank, mix it with martian soil,
And pour it into the three planter boxes.
You have 30 minutes to complete the mission.
Gotta open this bad boy first.
- Okay, perfect. - Lefty loosey, baby.
Oh, god. It does not look good in here.
So what are we scooping into what?
You're scooping the septic waste.
So the septic waste is what?
The stuff that smells.
Oh! ( gags )
Oh, god.
This mission is more difficult,
More challenging than I expected,
So our morale needs to stay high.
You got this. Just harness your chi.
Tinashe: So now tom and ronda
Are in charge of retrieving the fertilizer,
Which is human waste from the septic tank.
Breathe through your mouth and try not to taste it.
Back on earth, I have been deep in a rut.
But thank god I was able to come up here, mars,
Get that fresh perspective.
So for this, my role was, to be frank, shovel ( bleep ).
Being in the bottom three kind of sucks.
So, for this mission I'm gonna go above and beyond.
I'm gonna bring it.
I was born for this ( bleep ).
Adam, natasha, you guys can go to the mixing area,
And you can remove all the charred plants and trash while you're waiting.
Awesome. Let's do it.
Tom: Oh, god. What have you guys been eating?
I'm going-- oh, there's a lot of chunks in there.
Did we have chili?
We were so very happy that we weren't in there with the smell,
And having to touch it all.
- Anyways... - We're in the ( bleep ) together. Let's go.
How's it going, natasha? I'm good over here.
Good, good. I'm almost ready.
Getting all of this out, and we're gonna replant.
Okay, I got these ones on the top.
- ( grunts ) - absolutely.
Computer: 15 minutes remaining.
- Oh, god. - ( gags )
I can say there was never a moment that I was more happy
To be base commander than that one.
- Adam: Great. - That's the last of the bio solids.
Here you go. It's 94 cups.
Great. Do one planter at a time.
Ronda: Yeah.
I was expecting it to be a bit more solid.
Ronda: Do you need me to keep track of any of this
So you don't have to count everything?
One.
Computer: One cup.
- Adam: Oh, my god. - Two.
It really did smell like vomit and ( bleep ).
( gags )
Oh, god, I got poo on my damn hand.
Natasha: It stinks in here.
( gags )
I was gagging.
Once I start gagging, I can't stop.
I did feel like I was letting everyone down.
How can I help?
Ariel: Adam, I know this is gross,
But you guys are still looking amazing.
Computer: 32 cups.
Garden box one complete.
Natasha's totally struggling, so I'm getting nervous now.
Garden box two coming along great.
( gags )
Natasha needs to push through it.
( sighs )
I know how frigging hard this is
For each and every one of them,
So I just wanna be motivating everybody
To give their best, give their all.
Computer: 64 cups.
Garden box two, 100% finished.
- Natasha. - Yes?
You're not doing anything.
There are two sealed large red bins of potatoes.
- Cut those. - Got it.
Unfortunately, if I had to pick one person
Who is the least mission critical,
It would be natasha.
Base command, there's a lot of hot dogs in this ( bleep ).
Computer: 93 cups.
Oh, god, I'm splashing diarrhea on myself. That's 94 cups.
All garden boxes are fertilized and complete.
Computer: Bio dome crew, you have now successfully distributed 94 cups
- Of bio solids to the soil. - All right.
To complete the mission, you must replant the entire crop of seed potatoes.
The last thing to do? Plant potatoes.
Then it became kind of a group effort of the four of them.
Just give it a little like, "cute little baby."
They are little babies.
( cooing )
Computer: 30 seconds remaining.
- Tom, is this side done? - Yes, that side is done.
- Oh, it is? Amazing. - Okay, so we're pretty much done.
Consider it done, base commander.
Computer: The bio dome has been successfully reinstated.
- Mission complete. - Partners in ( bleep )!
( cheering )
Aah! The mission was successful!
Please come join the team out here.
I have a very tough decision ahead,
And it's never easy to send someone home,
Especially when every single person
Has contributed something
That feels pretty essential to the mission.
( music playing )
Great job, everyone. Please keep your spacesuits on,
'cause we're gonna have to deliver the trash back outside.
So don't get too comfortable.
Well, the mission was a success.
We did everything we needed to do.
So it's time to take the trash out.
Grab something, and let's head on out.
Damn, lance armstrong, why don't you do something?
I just brought my ( bleep ) out here. Chill.
This mission was testing the skill of being a survivalist.
I don't know a ton about being a survivalist...
...But we were able to complete it.
Computer: Incoming message from mission control.
Congratulations.
The mission was a success. Wonderful.
It's time to choose which crew members do you feel
Earned the survivalist patch?
- This is exciting. - ( overlapping chatter )
That was tough with the trash.
The mission was super successful.
Everyone did amazing.
I really loved being mission specialist.
I felt like I had accomplished one goal, and that possibly
I would be able to accomplish more here.
It gave me that confidence.
It's time for difficult decision.
There aren't enough rations for everyone.
You must now pick the bottom three crew members.
Then you will decide who will be extracted from the simulation.
Transmission is over.
So we have these mission patches.
Obviously, a lot of people did what it took today to survive,
- As this was an essential mission. - Yes.
Adam was really not afraid of anything today. I mean--
Not only was he unafraid, he had a great attitude.
- Yes. Yes. - He made it feel a little bit more lighthearted.
The only people who were even somewhat unnecessary
Were marshawn and richard, period.
Ariel: I mean, we all love richard.
We haven't really gotten to see much from him yet
Though either, aside from physicality.
Even when marshawn contributes,
He does it, like, so begrudgingly, so halfheartedly.
- I think we know, you know? - It's a really tough call.
Mm-hmm.
All right, everyone. I know it's pretty crazy and tense out there.
- The first person... - I wanna stay here, period.
Tinashe: ...That was mission critical...
I am the most mission critical.
You know, in my humble opinion.
( laughing )
- ...Is ronda! - Miss ronda!
- Rowdy! - See you in there, guys.
Let's go.
( cheering )
- And you get a patch! - Oh, thank you. Thank you.
- Good work. Great work. - Thank you. Thank you.
The next person that I want to present is porsha!
- ( cheering ) - mish crit!
I'm ready. Blow me.
( cheering )
- And a patch! - Thank you!
The next person that I believe was mission critical
- Is lance! - Lancé!
- Adam! - ( cheering )
Will you accept this patch?
- I will. Whoo-hoo! - Yes!
Yay!
All right, and the last person
That was mission critical today is...
I don't wanna be in the bottom three anymore, you know?
I've had enough of that.
I'm a ( bleep ) shoveling pioneer,
And I got the stains on my shoes to prove it.
- Tom! Come on out here, tom! - Let's go, tom.
- First time not in the bottom three! - Let's go!
Not bottom three, tom!
To not be in the bottom three today...
...It felt really good.
Whoo-hoo!
Good work, tommy.
I think I'm a future dark horse.
- Good work. - Thank you.
Good work.
Natasha: I definitely think it's fair
To be in the bottom three.
This is just not a realm that I can shine in.
- The moment of truth. - ( laughs )
- Let's rock, paper, scissor. - Mm-mm.
We did our jobs and we completed the mission.
We'll see.
Who knows what ariel and tinashe are thinking.
This is not an easy decision.
This is the hardest one we've had.
I don't wanna lose marshawn and sherm, you know?
I'd probably jettison any of you guys first.
Richard and marshawn have, uh,
Basically kept my sanity intact so far,
And I don't know if I could do it without them.
Can we please have richard,
Marshawn, and natasha in the airlock?
Computer: Enter the decontamination zone.
Marshawn: All marshawn and sherman did was hold a ladder.
If I didn't hold that ladder,
They wouldn't have been able to do ( bleep ).
I gave you what you asked for
Because at the end of the day,
I wanna stay on mars.
All right, y'all.
Unfortunately, this is the bottom three.
This is obviously not an easy decision.
So, natasha, can you please tell us why you deserve to be here?
Yeah, well, I don't eat that ( bleep ) much.
- And... - She's got a good point.
I put my hands in ( bleep ), and I really feel
Like I could contribute in new ways
That I haven't quite been allowed to yet.
I only know, like, working with natasha today,
She had a lot of energy.
I always knew where she was.
- All right, great. - Marshawn, can we please hear from you?
I think I deserve to be here because I held the ladder
Like no other person could hold a ladder.
- ( laughs ) - I held that ( bleep ) down.
Yeah.
Well, I think marshawn has consistently done the least.
- Tinashe: I would have to agree. - Are we gonna survive--
He goes quiet when we ask him questions.
He doesn't put the same level of effort as everyone else,
And just coasted kind of easily for the past three challenges.
Very-- yes.
I love marshawn, but it's been very obvious
That he doesn't put the most effort in.
Marshawn and sherm are kind of like a duo.
If one of them goes, I think the other one's gonna be close behind,
And I'm gonna be close behind.
- Tinashe: Richard? - Well, I think you guys got a very strong team.
I think natasha and marshawn are more valuable
To this team going forward.
And, you know, I feel like I've done my part.
For real? Oh.
He's more or less resigning.
I just feel like if we could help him boost his morale
In being here, he would be a huge help.
You know, it's getting really hard to decide who should go.
This isn't a walk in the park, you know? This is survival.
So the next mission critical member is...
Natasha!
That was so unnecessary.
- Welcome back. - Thank you, guys.
And last person who is mission critical today is...
Marshawn.
( cheering )
- Richard! - Didn't want to break up the band.
- I'm so mad at of you. I'm so mad at of you. - Bye!
- We're gonna miss you. - Bye, richard!
Bye-bye.
Ariel: It was an incredibly tough decision.
Ronda was really, really upset.
I totally understand where she's coming from,
Like, when you have people in the house
That you feel like you can't continue without.
But when richard voted himself out,
He had to leave.
Richard: I think to a degree
I accomplished what I set out to accomplish.
I didn't expect to make the friendships
That we were able to make.
But the hardest part about mars is not getting to see my kids.
Home, sweet home! Here I come!
- So how many are we now? Nine? Ooh. - Nine?
Tinashe: Honestly, after the elimination,
You could cut the tension in the room with a knife.
Maybe this is becoming a social game.
That's definitely a wake-up call for us here
Because now we're starting
To think differently about everyone.
The reason that I felt marshawn should go
Is he doesn't contribute much to the team
Except for morale and excitement.
This is a team, you know? We're here to survive.
This isn't where we vote people out based on likes or something.
I'm gonna work out because I feel like I need to get some stress off, too.
I know social is very important with who you're with on mars,
But in my mind, I'm like, it's about the mission today.
Like, I didn't know that alliances were forming that hard.
It's just unfortunate. It's not what this game's supposed to be.
- Mm-hmm. - At all.
So we should be careful.
We'll go next.
Shatner: Next time on "stars on mars"...
Computer: Warning. You have five minutes of oxygen remaining.
- Run your ass! - I can't make it.
- Give it everything you got. - Go, go, go!
I don't wanna leave my team behind!
You're gonna die! Are you kidding me?
Say hello to my little friend.
Get 'em!
( all screaming )
Oh, my god!
