- Last time on "99 to Beat"...

- Who's on top? Who's on top?

- This is going to be...

- Oh!
- A nail-biter.

Four big players got in
a tangle and were eliminated.

- Unfortunately, it just
wasn't in our favor today.

- After finding herself in the
bottom in three games...

- Oh, my God.

- Gianna survived them all...

- This is crazy.

- And took out
competition favorite David R.

in the process.

Oh, my God!

The upset of the season!

- Anyone can go home
at any time.

- Leaving 23 players
remaining

to battle it out
for $1 million.

This is outrageous.

[dramatic music]

[cheers and applause]

Welcome back to "99 to Beat,"

where seemingly simple games

mean serious money.

We started with 100 players,

and now we are down to 23.

[applause]

- Any one of you could win
a million dollars.

- Yes!
- Crazy.

- Insane.
- Good job.

- But before that, you need
to remember the golden rule.

You don't have to be first.

You don't have to be the best.

Just whatever you do...

all: Don't finish last.

- Be careful.
[laughs]

Ah!

[applause]

[suspenseful music]

- I haven't been lucky
on nothing.

I either can do it or I can't.
- Yeah.

These all look like
they're silly, fun games,

but they're not.

They're insane.

At the beginning,
you had a little bit of time

to work because there
were so many people,

but now it's like everything's
fast, fast, fast, fast, fast.

There's no room for error.

- Like, if I was
gonna be on a team,

I would only wanna be
on your team or Miranda's.

- Yeah.

It doesn't make it anything
harder competing with friends.

You have to have
those connections

or else you'll fall behind.

- Whoo!

- I honestly wanna beat
every single last

one of these people here.

They're great people,

but they're not worth
a million dollars.

- Players, in front of you are
600 cups turned upside down.

Inside 22 of them is
the "99 to Beat" logo.

Using only one hand, you must
find a cup with a logo.

The last player to find a logo
will be eliminated.

- 600?

- Usually at competitions
like this,

there may be four
that are front runners,

people that can surprise you.

There's, like, eight to ten
that could easily win this.

A lot of parity in the league.

- Whoa.
- Yeah.

Learning from you, EA.

- So I have a new favorite,
and his name is Tommy.

- My husband and I wanna have
a big Italian family.

The stakes are so high
at this point.

It--it is life and death.

- Gianna, you know,
just emotional

after her brother, Richie,
was eliminated.

- Yeah.

- Bottom two twice
in three games.

- Yep.

- Eliminated what
many considered

to be the front runner.

She slayed the dragon, David R.

Losing my brother
was so hard,

especially because I always
assumed I would get out first

and he would make it
all the way.

So it just adds fuel
to the flame.

- I don't even know
the approach or the rationale.

It's all about volume.

What Kara does, it's like
she does day traders.

It's all about volume.

- I keep my peace
and find me a cup.

I am a very driven person
and always have been.

I've worked since
I was 13 years old.

- She is smart.

- She is super smart.

- I am very accustomed to being
underestimated, underrated.

Keep me underrated.

I'll just fly
under the radar and win.

- Okay, Erin.

This game is all about chance.

There are 600 cups, 23 players,

and just 22 cups with
the "99 to Beat" logo in them.

- Whoo!

- Oh, are you kidding?

Ciara found it already?

- [laughs]
- So impressive.

But again,
it's who's gonna finish last.

- Got one, got one.

- Ref!

- Danni just made it through.

- Let's freaking go!

- Jared found it.

- Oh, got one, ref.

- And Dakota found it.

- This so much reminds me
of Easter egg hunts

with my sister
and my parents going,

where is that egg?

I hope we don't find it
in two weeks.

- Right.

They're turning up these cups

and finding these logos
so fast.

- We saw her daughter,
Michaela, eliminated early

in this whole thing,
and she's fightin'.

- 11 players are now through.

12 are remaining.

- Anna.

Leandra.

- Leandra found it.

Easily the most frustrating
game of "99 to Beat"

because it's so based
on chance.

- Good point.
You forget that.

You probably feel like
you're in a maze,

that you just don't know
which way you're going.

- Nine people left.

Cara-Maria.

Is she gonna be
close to the bottom?

- Ref!
- Not anymore.

She found it.

Four Wagners still through.

Yes, he is done.

- Yes!

- Five to go.

Kara, Miranda, Leo,
Carlene, and Gianna.

One of them is going home.

Just pick everything up.

There's no rhyme

This is for survival.

Leo. Final four.

- Closer to the wire than
I thought I was gonna be.

- Sticker.

- Carlene found it.

- Good job, Carlene.
- Come on, Kara.

- Final three--
Kara, Gianna, and Miranda.

One of them is going home.

- Miranda, check the middle.

- Miranda, Dakota, and
Cara-Maria, they're very close.

Are the Cobra Kai
about to be split up?

- Kara just keeps, like,

standing up
and taking a minute.

- I know.
- Girl, hurry up.

- Group 'em.

- Keep hunting, Miranda.
You're gonna get it, babe.

Move faster, though.

- Cara-Marie and Dakota have
been with me ever since we met.

We uplift each other.

- Better start moving.

- All the way over there.
Yes, Gianna.

- I think Miranda is
doing it the right way.

Just looking at every single--

- Got it.

- Oh, my God.

- Wow!

- One more cup to go.

Miranda found it.

Crazy.

- Gotta make us sweat
a little, Miranda.

- That was a workout.

- Yeah, we saw that.
- Whoo.

- Final two, Kara and Gianna.

Crazy.

Gianna has been here before,
but Kara really hasn't.

- I am an
"under pressure" girl,

and I've shown that
I work best under pressure.

I could beat anyone if it's
just down to the two of us.

- You got it, Gianna.
Around that area.

- Kara is just, like,
mentally frozen.

- Yeah.

- I am flipping cups,
one cup after another

after another after another,

and there are no signs
of "99 to Beat" on it.

Gianna has been
a fierce competitor,

and I don't wanna be
her next victim.
