Shatner: Previously on "stars on mars"...
I woke up today and I just said, "I'm going home."
Whoever is the last standing wins.
Shatner: Someone or something is in there with you.
- There's a rad dog. - Yay!
Ai: Mission successful.
Lance: Life on mars, it's not easy.
I have decided to exit the project.
- Bye! - Lancé!
Cat: Lance was my ride or die.
- See ya. - Love ya, bruh.
I'm gonna have to really start thinking about
What I'm gonna do to survive in here.
If you wanna be base commander tomorrow, I'll nominate you.
- All right. - Shatner: Tonight...
Ai: It's time to choose a base commander.
I would like to be a base commander.
I wanted to be it.
I definitely put my vote in for you.
You fail a mission, you could be on the chopping block.
Shatner: Your rad dog has run away.
Adam: Let's go! I see the flare!
Porsha: We see it! We see it!
- Ariel! - Porsha!
Where are you?
Tinashe: I hear a noise that sounds like the rad dog.
- Porsha: Hey! - Arf, arf.
- Hi! - Arf, arf, arf.
- Aww. - Aww, hi.
- Come on, let's go. Come on. - Yeah, come on. This way.
- Come on. - Arf, arf, arf.
- Come on. - Aww, so cute.
- There's cat! - Come here.
Oh, you're such a precious. Come here.
- Arf, arf, arf. - Come here.
- Oh! - Oh, he did a twirl.
- Good job. - Porsha: He's doing tricks.
- Cat: So cute. - Adam: Does this one have a name?
- Cat: Sit. Good boy. - No, we've been calling it "puppy."
- Puppy. - So we should name it. What's the smallest planet?
- Pluto? - It can't just be "pluto."
- It has to be plutoto. Yeah. - Plutoto!
- It can't be the exact name. - That's really cute.
- Arf, arf, arf. - Hey, plutoto.
- You better learn your name. - Arf.
Hell, naw.
- ( laughs ) - ai: I'm sorry, marshawn.
We are experiencing technical difficulties.
- ( sighs ) - system recalibrated.
Please try again.
( laughs )
Please proceed to door number one.
You can trust me.
I love your fleece booties. Do you have a bunch of pairs?
I wear fuzzy socks to bed every night.
Are you in socks sleeping?
- Ariel: Yes. - She's a sock sleeper, everyone.
- Adam: Whoa. - ( laughs )
I'm ariel winter. It's sol day 15.
I was on such a high last night
Because I felt like I did such an amazing job
At a mission that was really tough for me.
And then it was a bit of a low
Because I got put in the bottom three
And I didn't particularly feel that was fair.
This morning I'm a little... About that.
Oh, my god. This is germ related?
Yes, I'm getting in bed with a fresh pair of socks.
And especially when I'm here,
I tuck my pajama pants into my socks
And then I tuck my shirt into my pants.
This is-- you wear socks out of germ precaution?
- Yeah, I-- yeah. 100%. - Yeah.
I kind of feel like I'm the target to go home,
So today I'm hoping that I can be base commander.
That would be awesome. Or mission specialist.
Because I really wanna be here. I don't wanna be taken out.
I feel like this whole thing
Has been probably really good for you
To push you, period.
To push you.
It has. It has.
Arf, arf, arf.
You guys, I'm gonna make a couple eggs real quick.
- You guys want anything? - Hell, yeah.
- Yeah, I want some eggs. - You want some scrambled eggs?
- Yeah. - You like them scrambled or do you like them over easy?
- How do you like them? - However you make 'em.
- All right. What do you want? - I like them over easy.
- I like them scrambled. All that. - Scrambled.
Cat: All right, well, I'll just do a big batch of scrambled then.
- Marshawn: Scrambled. - Cat: You know, we're getting
To the end of this experiment,
And I'm putting everything into it.
I think I'm showing my value every day.
( bleep )
And my strategy is to really have camaraderie
With all the crewmembers, cook some good food,
And I'm definitely a contender to go all the way.
You wanna try this?
Hell, naw. You hella nasty, bruh.
Ketchup and mustard on your chips?
Try it.
- Hell, naw. That looks nasty. - It's fire though. It's fire.
- Cat. - Yo. You trying it?
- He's putting ketchup and mustard on potato chips. - Wow.
It's potato. What's the difference with putting fries on--
Mm-mm. That ain't him.
I do feel in the hab now
That we're very comfortable with each other.
And it's come down to seven of us,
And we all wanna be here.
- Thank you, cat. - You're welcome, honey.
Arf, arf.
Oh, hey, solange.
Oh, solange. Yes.
- I'll take it. - Kelly rowland.
- Oh, yeah. I would glisten. Who else? - Kelly.
I would take all of it. They all bomb bitches.
- Adam: Base commander. - I am still base commander. Don't you forget it.
- I haven't. - I am still your base commander.
Today I wanna be base commander because I feel like,
You know, I've had a chance to watch.
And when I first got here I didn't understand that role,
But I think as time has went on, I'm ready for it.
I'm ready for that duty, to take command,
To lead our troops on a successful mission.
If you want to be base commander, I'll nominate you.
- All right. Okay. - And I want to be your mission specialist.
I said if you wanna be base commander,
I will support you and back you up,
But I wanna be your mission specialist.
- You up for the mission, baby. - Deal.
Knew you'd do good. I knew you would. You're a leader.
Whether the mission is successful or unsuccessful,
The mission specialist is safe no matter what,
So this is good for me.
- Yeah. - ( clattering, muted chatter )
- ( siren wailing ) - oh, god.
Ah, that moment of truth.
- Whoo! - Emergency.
Ai: All crew, it's time to choose a base commander.
- Adam: New base commander. - New base commander.
- Well, I would like to do it. - I would like to be a base commander.
Paul's got two hands up.
I mean, I'm the only one who ain't had a shot.
- Okay. - All right.
- I would like to be base commander. - Why?
You know, I've been at the bottom every time I've been here,
And, you know, I've kind of just been sitting back,
You know, watching and learning from everybody,
And I think I'm ready for it now.
I've been in the bottom three ever since I've been here.
I've escaped. I'm a survivor.
So I'm here to be the last man standing.
- Is there anybody else? - I wanted to be it, but--
- It's all good either way. - I would.
I think it should be-- I mean, in my opinion,
Who hasn't been base commander besides paul?
- Just paul. - So...
Ariel: There are definitely people who are close
And who have bonds stronger than others.
I thought cat was just really, like, "on her own" vibes,
But then I kind of noticed that cat and paul,
They seem to have bonded, which was negative for me.
Well, my concern with paul, just personally,
Obviously it's one thing to go through the missions,
But then another thing to receive the brief and whatever.
But do you think that you'll be able to handle that side of things?
I'm good at basic instructions and communicating.
I think you're capable, and I definitely put my vote in for you.
- Appreciate it. - Well, are you nominating yourself?
I did nominate myself, but...
...I mean, we could take it as a vote.
- So ariel versus paul? - Cat: Let's just take a vote.
All right, let's see. Let's see what we got, what we got, got, got.
Ariel puts her hand up to be base commander
Part just being smart. She knows what she's good at.
She's already said she's not good in the field.
Yeah, I would wanna be placed wherever I'm gonna look the strongest.
All right, one for ariel. Two for ariel.
One for paul.
Uh, two for paul. This is the last one.
Okay.
- Paul. Paul. - Whoo!
Yeah! Good job, buddy.
- Yeah. - Thank you. Thank you.
- I think you're gonna do a great job. - Yeah, yeah.
Ariel: Paul, he has no experience at it whatsoever.
I was not very pleased for him to be the base commander.
I didn't think it was a good choice.
I appreciate the opportunity. I won't let y'all down.
- All right. - Yeah, all right.
- We believe you. - Yeah, why not? Let's go.
- Yeah, paul! Step up now! - All right. Way to do it.
- Thank you. - You will do a great job.
- Yeah. - Paul: Feeling great.
Been elected base commander. I'm ready to lead the team.
I feel like the pressure's all on, and I'm ready for it.
These-- no, I thought they was mine.
Oh, my god, you almost about to clean up something?
Naw, I thought it was some oranges in here.
- But I got-- - wow. What the--
He's taking a dish from the counter to the--
Let's see if it makes it to the kitchen.
- This is growth. - I can't.
Porsha: No way. This is groundbreaking.
- You play too much. - He's a new man.
- Oh, my god. - You know what?
- You got some jokes though. - ( whispering )
Porsha: I think we've been on mars too long.
Like, I have never seen a cleaning product in marshawn's hands.
This is crazy.
He's almost to the kitchen.
If he goes towards the sink...
Adam: Is he gonna put something in the trash?
I think he's putting something in the kitchen from in here.
Y'all are funny as hell. This is, like--
No, paul, you don't under-- we should find a patch for that.
He just picked something off of the ground.
- And what? - Paul: Oh, my god.
- He handed it to ariel. - No, he's cleaning up.
What-- what's happening?
- Mercury... - Mercury...
- ...Is in retrograde. - ...Is in retrograde!
- ( siren wailing ) - ai: Emergency.
- Shatner: Coming up... - Ai: Emergency.
Your rad dog has gone missing.
Ai: You have 30 minutes to complete the mission.
- Whoa. - Wow.
- ( bleep ) - you guys will have to haul ass.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
- Go, go, go! - Come on, girls.
- Adam, where are you? - I'm over here.
I see something.
Ariel? Where is ariel?
- Ariel, where are you? - Are you okay, ariel?
- Ai: Adam? - Yeah.
Why do humans fold sheets?
There's nothing better than a nicely folded sheet.
My worst nightmare is things that aren't folded.
They will only get creased when you sleep in them.
I mean, come on.
- Look how nice this looks. - It is illogical.
Is there another reason to fold them?
Because it makes other people feel bad.
Oh? I do not understand you humans.
Sorry. Truth hurts.
Base commander, it is time to assign the base duties.
All right, everyone, let's, uh-- let's meet...
...So I can assign the tasks.
Sol day 15, and mars is a vibe and it's looking like a scene.
- Okay. - All right.
Good night, everybody. We're done.
- I think we're done here. - Mars is finally a vibe!
- Nah, look, I added that. I added that part. - Okay.
Now that the experiment is starting to wind down,
You must take note on what supplies you have left.
Don't forget to note supply in the bio dome.
Two stars must head outside.
I've chosen tinashe and ariel. It's simple, and that's it.
- Copy. - Copy that.
Ai: Tinashe and ariel,
Your new rad puppy will need a safe enclosure.
Please measure up a suitable area next to the hab.
All righty. Let's get ready to do this.
Let's get it done.
- All right, um... - Okay, we should probably
Tape measure first, I assume, right?
- Oh, lord. - We just gotta really run it.
What do you think? Like, here?
Yeah, like, angle into that so we're around the dome?
Sounds good.
Ariel: The robot dog definitely does not replace real dogs.
Most dogs are furry and cuddly
And don't have screens on them.
So how you feel about paul being bc?
I wanted to be base commander,
So I'm definitely not super into it.
I mean, as you know, I think it's, like my--
- Strongest? - Yeah.
That's the thing I think I can contribute the most.
I do my best in everything...
- For sure. - ...For the team,
But I think that's what I'm best at.
- You had my vote. - I know. I appreciate you.
Me being base commander,
That's kind of the job that I'm best suited for.
Plug, plug, plug. It is time. Plug.
Okay, plug, plug, plug! Go ahead.
Ariel: Plug the holes. Let's go.
Yes, team!
And I know everybody has weaknesses.
Being in the field is mine.
Oh, no! The water's getting out!
Can someone help me do this?
Somebody assist ariel!
I definitely felt that if I was not base commander
Or mission specialist,
I just think I might be in the bottom three.
- We should stake right now... - All right.
...So we don't have to measure again.
- Right here? - Yeah.
- Boom. - Perfect.
Staked.
And do you know the name of all of these?
Yeah, for the most part. I know everything.
So it's purple kale, things like this.
And then there's the chilies.
So what we'll do is write down what each one is.
- Yes. - This is wild.
- We got some food. - We got food.
- Yeah, we do. - We got a tomato right here.
Adam: At this point in the experiment,
Everybody who's here wants to be here,
And everybody who's here wants to make it to the very end.
And, you know, cat and I have worked together a few times,
And I know that she's gonna go balls to the wall.
Paul, are you excited to be the base commander?
Yeah, finally.
Paul said to me that, you know, "I really wanna try
To take my shot at being base commander."
And I said, "I think you'd be a great base commander,
And I will vote for you.
But I wanna be your mission specialist as well."
So I'm hoping he does remember that.
It's super exciting when you get a new mission though.
- I wanna see the screen. - I know.
Everybody keeps saying that's cool as hell.
What's going through my head is that paul and I are outnumbered.
We got here in the middle of the mission.
We're outnumbered. There's an alliance that has formed.
We have to do this together.
Ai: Porsha and marshawn,
Please audit the remaining supplies of food.
Porsha: Come on, you need to count it,
And I'm gonna write it as you count it.
- 14 dry soups. - 14.
Count all the ramens together. Here, there's some ramens over here, too.
Oh, I'm definitely worried about rations,
Because we could die.
Hey, kindergartner.
Are you using your fingers and toes to count?
27.
We need a camera to watch this stuff.
- Adam: You okay? - No.
We did the food. We did the rations for the food
And we realized we're gonna starve in about a day.
Cool. I'm ready.
We literally have no fresh food down here
- Except for three bags of tomatoes. - It's in the bio dome.
- And we have-- - all the fresh food in the bio dome.
Ain't nothing in there. Let me check this bio dome.
Me, I do not like going in the bio dome.
It's stank in there, okay?
Ugh.
What the hell?
- Oh, my gosh! No way! - Yes.
We're gonna live!
For me? Hell, naw.
- I gotta be outside. - You gotta be outside?
Hell, yeah, otherwise I'm gonna lose my mind.
Right.
Marshawn, I thought you was gonna be mission specialist.
Marshawn: I think you need to be mission specialist.
Why do you want me to be the mission specialist so early?
Why you so nervous for?
We still gotta get rid of two people.
Oh, so you trying to save that for an ace in the hole?
Yeah! Strategy-wise, it would make sense for me to wanna save myself later on.
I think everything porsha doing is strategic.
She got a game plan in all of this.
Porsha gonna do some shady-ass ( bleep ) at the end.
- Oh, wow! - But the bad part is
She not gonna feel no type of way about it.
- Cat's good. - Yeah, I'd be here.
Marshawn: Cat at it, ma'am.
You would like to be mission specialist?
Cat: Yeah. I'd like to be.
I'd ( bleep ) crush it for you.
"I'd ( bleep ) crush it."
"( bleep ) crush it for you."
Yeah. He knows that.
And more importantly, I showed my loyalty today to you.
I was the first person that said,
"I think paul would be a great commander."
She did.
Marshawn: Yeah, I mean, cat is in it to win.
You know, she's somebody who'd like to win.
She a ( bleep ) world-renowned chef.
You just need to choose wisely.
No, I'm not choosing. What if I choose no one?
Then you're gonna fail.
- Huh? - You're gonna fail.
Ai, I don't trust nobody.
Ai: Paul, it is a vital requirement
That the base commander chooses the mission specialist.
Of course, if you're not up to the job,
I am more than happy to replace you.
Arf, arf. Arf, arf.
Arf. Arf.
Arf, arf. Arf, arf, arf, arf.
( thud )
( distorted ) arf, arf. Arf, arf.
( distorted glitching )
"the first successful mission to mars
Was nasa's mariner 4 in 1965, which flew past the planet
And sent back the first close up images of mars."
- Interesting. - Tinashe: I didn't do
That much research on mars before I got here, honestly.
So I think it's important that we study
All of the information that we have about mars.
So we have this big hab manual.
"mars makes a complete orbit around the sun in 687 earth days,
Which means a year on mars is close to two years on earth."
So because a mars year
Is basically equivalent to two earth years,
We're aging at half the rate here.
So we're just getting younger by the day.
We're aging backwards, baby.
Our generation ain't gonna go to the moon.
- But, like, people wanna go. - Adam: Oh, my god, no.
I won't even drive to santa monica.
Not going to the moon.
Isn't it 250,000 to go?
I think it's probably 250 million to go.
- I think so. - Oh.
- It's expensive as ( bleep ). - What about a groupon?
( siren wailing )
- Ai: Emergency. Emergency. - ( indistinct chatter )
- Incoming message from mission control. - Come on! Emergency!
- Emergency! Come on, guys. - Emergency, emergency.
- Yay. - An emergency.
Incoming message from mission control.
Commander, we have an emergency.
Hello again, crew.
I know this may come as a huge surprise,
But we have another problem to deal with.
Your rad dog has run away.
They wandered out of the safety of the hab perimeter,
And they've gone missing.
They might've fallen down a deadly mars shaft.
The crew's mission is to locate and recover the missing dog.
Your base commander has all the information you need.
They are in charge, and later they'll determine
Who was mission critical and who was not.
But if you fail, they're up for extraction as well.
This mission will test your bravery
And will earn you a mission patch.
Bravery.
Commander, you need a mission specialist.
They will be safe from extraction.
In an answer to the age old question
Posed by my good friends the baha men,
Apparently it was you who let the dog out.
Good luck and dog speed.
See what I did there?
- ( laughs ) - oh, god.
Adam: I cannot believe it.
These rad dogs need some training.
Ai: Base commander,
It is time for you to assign a mission specialist.
Paul: While y'all two were gone,
I asked the opinion of the experienced players that's been here.
Marshawn really wanted porsha to be mission specialist.
Porsha would thrive in it,
But there's a lot of game planning going on.
It's never an easy decision.
Everybody brings something to the table.
Cat: You know, I'm always a little cautious.
I was just hoping that he would keep his word.
So the mission specialist is gonna be...
There's a lot that goes into making that decision.
It is such a vital position to have for the mission.
- Cat. - Thank you. Appreciate that.
Paul: Once I get the details of everything...
- I think it's a good choice. - Thank you. I appreciate it.
I'm relieved. I'm excited about the mission.
I'm glad that I'm safe tonight.
- Good. Good job. - So there you have it. Let's all be ready.
- All right, let's do it. Let's do it. - Let's do it.
Marshawn: Now I really seen who was in it to win it.
You gotta play the game.
Paul: Let's go. "gang" on three.
- One, two, three. - All: Gang!
- All right. - Let's go!
- Finally, I'm part of a gang. - Good luck, everybody.
- Be safe out there. - Yay.
- See you later. - Gang gang!
The rad dog puppy has gotten out of the hab
And has gone missing.
Mission control believes the rad puppy
Has fallen down a lava tube.
Using a satellite feed as well as a satellite image,
The base commander will need to direct the crew on their rover
To the last known location of the rad puppy.
Ai: Base commander, mars is a vast terrain.
Your rover team has 30 minutes to complete the mission.
( bleep )
Aw, man.
Cat: The distance is, like, ten miles.
Paul: Yeah.
- Porsha: Do we know anything... - Adam: No.
- ...Besides we're gonna go get a dog in a hole? - Nothing.
Adam: You're going into these missions totally blind,
But we gotta save the rad dog.
Time is of the essence.
They let a gangsta behind the wheel.
- Tinashe: One leg out the car. - This is how we coming.
- Paul: Marshawn? - What's up, cap?
- "tinasha." - tinashe!
- Tinashe, tinashe. - Copy.
We have a satellite image of the last known location
- Of the rad puppy. - Got you, baby rad dog.
Ai: 15 minutes to complete the mission.
Now everybody throw their hands up.
We going down a hill.
- ( all cheering ) - ( laughs )
- Whoo-hoo! - Whoa! Holy moly.
Paul: You're on the right path.
I wonder, does our base commander know how wide these holes are?
I don't think they do.
Well, maybe we're just supposed to drive the rover into the hole,
Like, indiana jones style.
You'll see a right turn. Do not turn right.
You gonna keep straight. Y'all doing good.
Ay, so you want me to drive straight
Or do you want me to turn off into this left?
You're coming close to it. Just keep going.
Ariel: What is going on?
Marshawn: Boop, boop. Bump, bump, bump, y'all.
( beeping )
Oh, stop, stop. Stop, you guys. Stop, stop, stop, stop.
You guys passed it.
You can turn around. Turn around.
- Tinashe: Copy. - Marshawn: Ay.
Ay, look, y'all, hold on, 'cause I gotta make this 180.
- ( laughter, cheering ) - that's a nice little turn.
You know what I'm talk-- oh, don't be hating on my turn.
- Whoo! - This feel like mario kart.
Ai: Eight minutes to complete the mission.
Paul: You guys are coming up on it.
You're coming up on it. And... Right there.
Marshawn: So is it on the left or the right?
Ariel: Oh, my gosh. Let's go, guys.
Ariel: If the base commander fails, the team fails.
Paul was definitely not great under that pressure.
Oh, ( bleep ).
I knew if I was base commander, I would be successful.
Let's go!
( sighs )
This is challenging.
You know, out of my comfort zone.
If I'm base commander and I fail a mission...
Let's just find the dog.
...I could be on the chopping block.
We are going to a cave to rescue the rad puppy.
Arf, arf, arf.
( beeping )
Marshawn: So is it on the left or the right?
I'm not sure that paul is ready for this position.
Go straight, go straight. Keep going straight.
He gave bad directions. That cost us for a while.
Come on, papa!
Marshawn: So it's this left right here?
- Right there. Right-- - keep going.
- Paul: Not this left. - ( laughter )
The directions weren't clear and it's incredibly frustrating.
Paul: This left right here.
You gotta make a left right here.
Hard left. Hard left.
Marshawn: Ay, y'all, hold on, 'cause we finna go up this hill.
- Okay, we good back here. - We're good.
All right, you guys are gonna go up that hill,
And the first left that you can make, you're gonna make that left.
Ooh, ( bleep ).
- ( laughs ) - tinashe: Whoa.
- Marshawn: Yeah, okay. - This way.
- ( beeping ) - paul: Now make a left.
- Ay! - ( laughter )
Yeah! ( burps ) excuse me.
- Adam: You all right? - No belching on the comm.
No talking on the comms, porsha.
- ( radar beeping ) - keep going straight.
You should run right into a crater.
- We can get out. - I see the crater.
- ( laughing ) - ( grunting )
( bleep )
Ariel: It was hard for me in the suit doing basic things.
So, I was like, "oh, my god. I don't wanna fall."
Do not air that. How embarrassing.
( laughing ) "don't air that!"
Ai: Four minutes to complete the mission.
We're gonna split up into two crews.
We're gonna have a rappel and relay crew.
- Copy. - Bruh, I could just slide down this.
That ( bleep ) look hella fun.
Tinashe, we'll have a flare for you to throw into the lava tube.
Cat: The red light of the flare will be a search beacon
In the cave to find the rad puppy.
- Tinashe: Copy that. - Paul: The rest of you...
- Adam: Yep. - ...Will have to go down and find the cave
- Tinashe: Copy. - Adam: Copy.
Knowing that I'm so close to the end of this experiment,
You might think that by this time
I'd be losing a little gas, but, no.
- I'm full of gas. - Cat: Search crew,
Stay to your right as much as possible
Till you hit the back of the cave.
Adam: Got it. Down the hill, turn to the cave,
Stay right, find the flare, get the puppy.
- Arf, arf. - Ai: Three minutes to complete the mission.
You guys will have to haul ass.
- Let's go, let's go, let's go! - Go, go, go.
Here I go.
- There we go. - Y'all ain't got no bigger rope?
Let's go! Let's go!
Cat: Adam, porsha, ariel,
You guys will be looking for a red flare.
You will be looking for the light of the flare in the cave.
Tinashe: Copy. I need a lot more slack.
It's coming, it's coming.
- You're doing great. - Thanks, base command.
Adam: Let's go, let's go! Come on, guys!
Ariel: And to have to run,
And the sand and dust is kind of slippery.
Adam: Be careful!
Ai: Two minutes to complete the mission.
Almost there. Need more slack.
All right.
- I see a pole. - You see it?
Cat: The rappel crew will need to ignite a flare
And throw it into the lava tube.
- Toss it. - Down the hole.
Cat: It's in.
Adam: Am I nervous?
Yeah, 'cause I really can't see in the dark in my spacesuit.
Cat: Not to the left. Stay to your right.
Keep going.
- Adam! - Come on! Let's go!
Cat: Keep going. Go, go, go, go.
- Let's go! - Paul: Keep straight.
- Adam! - Keep going. You got it.
- Go forward. - Adam!
Adam: I'm going up a hill.
( bleep )
Porsha: Adam, where are you?
- I'm over here! - Okay.
- My lights. - Cat: Stay to the right.
Let's go! I see you guys. Let's go, let's go!
- Keep going. Straight as you can. - You got it. Keep going.
Just straight as you can.
All the way to the back of the cave.
Adam: Let's go!
- Porsha: Stay to the right. - Come on, girls.
- We're at one minute. - Porsha: We're right behind you.
Let's go, let's go!
I see something.
- Adam: Well, uh-- - cat: You see it? You see a flare?
You see the red?
- ( grunting ) - adam, this is a dead end.
Ooh!
Cat: Ariel? Where is ariel?
- Ah! - Where are you?
Porsha!
( panting )
This way! I see the light!
Adam: Let's go! We see it! Let's go, guys!
You got this. You got this.
- You're doing fantastic. - ( grunts )
Ai: 20 seconds to complete the mission.
- Cat: Go, go, go. - We see it! We see it! Right here, right here!
- Right here! - Cat: Catch up, ariel.
( grunts )
- Porsha: Ariel? - Oh, no!
Where are you? This way! Get in there.
Please.
Ai: Ten, nine, eight...
Porsha: Right here! The flare! We got the flare!
- ...Six, five-- - adam: We got it!
Porsha: We got the dog! Secure! Secure, secure!
- Arf. - Great work, guys!
- Great work. - Adam: We got it.
- Porsha: He's secure. - Arf, arf.
Cat: Oh, my god. Amazing.
- Good job, man! - ( laughs )
Porsha: Ariel, are you okay?
- Where are you? - Yes, I'm fine.
Let me go get ariel.
This was definitely not my favorite mission.
- You okay? - Yeah, I just fell over.
- I'm perfectly fine. - Okay.
- I just fell over. - You guys were amazing. That was incredible.
- Wow! - ( all cheering )
- Paul: Great work, great work. - Yeah!
We did it, y'all! Let's go.
Arf, arf.
- We're-- oh, come here, sweetheart. - Hi!
- Arf, arf. - Aww, he's so happy.
- Bitch, you better stop running away! - Arf. Arf, arf.
Marshawn: I'm a ( bleep ) doughnut specialist!
- ( tinashe trilling ) - ( horn honking )
- ( marshawn laughing ) - ( honking continues )
Paul: Marshawn, what in the hell is this?
- Yeah. Damn, that's hurting my ear. - Yeah!
You are safe, and I'm safe. Hells, yeah.
- Great work. Wow. - Good job, man. Good job.
First time being base commander. We crushed it.
I think I've shown my worth.
So, you know, as we move forward...
...Popping my collar.
( grunts )
Well, we did it, guys.
Whew! We saved the puppy.
Ai: Incoming message from mission control.
Hello again, crew.
Base commander, it's time for another tough decision.
One of your crewmates is up for extraction.
But there can only be one brightest star in the galaxy.
I know you're thinking why can't it be me?
I'm thinking why can't it be me?
Well, it has to be you because you're doing all the work.
It's not me. It's you.
Which crewmember is not mission critical?
Transmission over.
- All right, this is gonna be a tough one. - This is tough.
As base commander, I feel terrible sending somebody home
That I know has put in the work, but it's part of the duty.
I don't know. What do you think?
It's so hard because everybody's role is so important.
Everybody.
Ariel fell in the cave,
And she seemed like she was struggling
And having a little bit of a hard time.
You know, we're asking porsha and ariel
To do endurance stuff, which is tough.
Tinashe, definitely mission critical.
This is really-- is bittersweet.
It's really tough because none of us want to go home,
And none of us want to see anyone else go home.
So the last people that are here,
The last places, they're gonna be four mvps.
It's never an easy decision,
I mean, who comes and who goes.
This person showed tremendous bravery.
I'd like to give mission critical to tinashe.
Yay!
Tinashe is a fierce, fierce, fierce competitor.
( indistinct chatter )
She has her eye on the prize.
Ai: Bravery patch acquired.
- Great job. Whoo! Careful. - Thank you.
- Good job, good job. - Thank you, base commander.
- Thank you, mission specialist. - ( whistles )
I know that I've said that I'm not competitive,
But I am also, I guess, a huge liar
Because I'm hoping that I've done enough
To be mission critical.
Porsha: It's just simple.
I was the one who found the fire flare,
And I was the one who found the dog.
Because of the urgency that was showed
And taking control of the situation,
- Adam, come on in. - ( cheering )
- Yes! - Great job, adam.
Bye, porsha.
Porsha: All of it was a bit of a shock.
Adam deserved to be in the bottom three instead of me.
Yes, he hauled ass to the cave,
But he did not know where to go once he was in there.
And we could've lost the mission
If I didn't find the dog and the flare.
So it's just factual.
Ay-yi-yi. That's the worst part.
They gonna kick porsha off.
- Oh, you gotta go-go. - Okay.
You gotta play the game when you get in there.
( whistles )
Someone has to go home.
Like, that's the name of the mars game.
- Someone has to leave. - Paul: All right.
And we're ready.
Ariel: It definitely sucks to know
That one of our original team members
Is going to go home.
Really, it really, really, really, really,
Really, really, really sucks.
Paul: All right, we're ready.
Marshawn and porsha and ariel,
Tell us why you're mission critical.
We'll start with marshawn.
I did the task that I was asked of...
...And, then, uh--
You know what I mean?
That's what we supposed to do, so that's what I did.
Yeah, boom.
I'm not nervous about my position at all.
What do you guys think about marshawn not having a lot to say?
Do you think it was just--
- Marshawn never has an lot to say. - Yeah, he usually doesn't.
- I know, but he really did not have a lot to say. - Yeah.
Cat: I definitely have my concerns.
Marshawn, he likes to joke a little bit...
Hell, yeah!
Yeah. Damn, that's hurting my ear.
...And when you get to this place where we are now
And you have to focus on, you know, winning...
Porsha, why are you mission critical?
I'm mission critical because I was able to locate the dog
And point us into the correct direction of the flare,
Which helped us complete the mission.
Moving forward, I mean, you guys have shown to be great on the field and inside.
Who's important not only for today?
Porsha is probably the most versatile.
Throughout the whole course of this experiment, porsha's never let down.
And I think ariel, I think that her strength
Is definitely back here at the hab,
And I think she did struggle today.
I think that maybe she might be the least versatile.
Ariel, I think she's a great communicator, great leader,
Very thorough, very decisive.
It sucks. There's no right answer.
Ariel, why are you mission critical?
I'm not usually an emotional person,
But I don't know, I'm feeling a little bit emo.
So basically I came here,
I didn't think I was going to make it past mission one.
I've overcome a lot of things.
I never thought I would rappel down a cliff. Absolutely not.
But I loved being on this team.
I even enjoyed the missions,
Even the hard ones in this stupid-ass suit.
Um, but, as you know, I love the word "fair."
I was not mission critical today,
And I feel like I deserve to go.
So are you saying you're ready to go?
Yes.
That sucks, but at the same time,
All I can do is respect it.
She says she's ready, so...
Marshawn and porsha...
...Come on down.
- You're amazing. - Adam: I'm in shock.
I get where ariel is coming from.
In this mission, she fell short.
In my eyes, she's one of the most mission critical people
Of this entire experiment.
Oh, we love you.
- Ugh, sad. - It is so sad.
Ai: Ariel, you are not mission critical
And must leave the hab immediately.
- You were so amazing. - I'm so much more sad
Than I thought I was going to be. Okay.
I got a lot of great things out of this.
Lot of great friendships, personal growth,
A little bit more confidence.
I'm very happy I did this,
Even though it was like a little bit of hell.
It's very hard for me to open up that real and vulnerable space.
And now I feel like I'm open and ready for anything.
I definitely feel at peace.
I'm good to go.
So it's, what, six of us left?
- Ay, porsha. - What?
- So you spotted the flare? - Huh?
- You spotted the flare? - Yeah.
- Hell, naw. - Huh?
- She lying. - Me? No.
As base commander, you could have asked that question.
- Who found it? - Yeah.
Bottom three ain't a penalty though.
- Stop looking at it like that. - I didn't say it was,
- But I'm just critiquing you, too. - Oh, yes it is. Mmm.
Oh, you-- oh, you going against the base commander?
Porsha: Marshawn treats me like I'm his little sister.
Paul, he feels like somebody I grew up with
In high school or something.
It's like you got all these kids.
So, me, when I stood here
- And told you what my reasoning was... - That was fine.
And then if she hadn't have eliminated herself, what would you have done?
( marshawn laughs )
Yeah, they can say whatever,
But it's a competition show, and I'm gonna beat your ass.
- ( laughs ) - shatner: Next time...
Ai: Attention, all crew.
The end of the mission is near.
- There will no longer be base commanders. - What?
You will compete in every mission going forward.
- Damn! - Things are getting real.
- I wanna win. Hello? - ( siren wailing )
Shatner: Attention, crew...
( both grunt )
...This is a rescue mission.
Whoo!
Porsha: Who are we rescuing?
- Shut up! Oh, my god! - Wow.
