Two Strangers, a Nuclear Bunker, and a $500,000 Countdown: 100 Days of MrBeast's Offers
MrBeast ミスタービースト
MrBeast (Jimmy) built a bunker 40 feet underground and put two people who had never met, Hugo and Rayne, inside it for 100 days. If both stayed the whole time, they would split half a million dollars. If either one left, both got nothing. The bunker was only the starting condition. Every ten days Jimmy came back with a new offer meant to raise the stakes, tempt one of them to quit, or test how well they worked together. The video follows how those offers, and the strain of living with a stranger, shaped their 100 days.
The Setup
Hugo and Rayne met for the first time when their blindfolds came off inside the bunker. Jimmy told them it held everything they would need for 100 days, including a way to grow their own vegetables, beds stacked above one another, and $500,000 in cash. Both said right away that they weren't leaving.
The first days were friendly. They cooked breakfast together, called each other roommates, and picked projects to fill the time: Hugo would learn guitar, someone planned to learn Spanish, and they talked about coming out "so ripped." Rayne said Hugo was the coolest person she knew down there. The narration warned this wouldn't last, and small frictions showed up by day four. Hugo told Rayne she had been snoring badly. Their only "view of the outside" was a window onto dirt. Boredom set in quickly, and at one point they built a throne out of canned food.
They had also noticed two locked boxes and a button they were told not to touch. Jimmy said these represented "the twist of the century," to be revealed on day 10.
The Twist: A Daily Alarm That Could Burn the Money
On day 10, Jimmy opened the boxes. One on each side of the room held a hand scanner, and there was a one-minute timer. Once a day, at a random time, the timer would start counting down. If it reached zero, the $500,000 would be "engulfed in flames." To stop it, Hugo and Rayne each had to put a hand on a scanner at the same moment. When Rayne asked what would happen if she was in the shower, Jimmy said he didn't care about the reason. One miss meant both left with nothing.
The rule changed the mood at once. Rayne said she would never sleep comfortably again, and they moved their beds closer to the scanners. Hugo described a constant weight on his chest because the alarm could come at any moment, even though it only sounded once a day. Their first real alarm frightened them, but they made it.
To test them, Jimmy once triggered the alarm at 6 a.m. They were still fast. By day 13 they had also found a latch under the floorboards that opened a hidden room stocked with supplies, including Feastables chocolate. By then they were confident enough to say, "The alarm doesn't scare us."
Day 20: Half the Time for $50,000
The first offer tested that confidence. Jimmy noted they were hitting the scanners within a few seconds and asked whether they still needed a full minute. He offered $50,000 more, bringing the pot to $550,000, if they let him cut the timer permanently to 30 seconds for the remaining 80 days. Missing once would now burn the larger sum.
They discussed whether the money was worth the extra risk. They had been reaching the scanners in under 10 seconds every time, so they accepted. Afterward one of them worried it might have been a stupid decision. The narration said it turned out fine: they never came close to failing at 30 seconds and kept responding in under 10.
Day 30: The Offer They Refused
On day 30, Jimmy demonstrated the offer instead of explaining it. He pressed the button, and the alarm was silent. For another $50,000, the alarm would make no sound for the rest of the challenge.
This was the first time they disagreed. Rayne asked whether $550,000 was already enough and pointed out that a silent alarm would mean taking shifts to watch the timer until day 100. Hugo kept saying it was "so much money." They turned it down. When Jimmy told them they could both buy Teslas, Rayne answered that they already could and that she only needed one car. Afterward Hugo complained that Rayne had said no to $50,000, and Rayne said he would get over it.
Chores and Resentment
To repair things, they moved their food supplies and painted a mural with their new team name, the Sewer Rats. Hugo's frustration about the workload remained. He was feeding the fish, cleaning their tank, and keeping up the garden that supplied fresh vegetables. He was also doing most of the cooking. With three meals a day, the narration counted that he had made more than 100 meals for both of them. Rayne called him her "own personal Waffle House."
Day 40: A $100,000 Exit
Jimmy then brought in what he called the "money sucker." Above ground, his crew vacuumed $100,000 out of the prize pool. For ten minutes, either contestant could leave with that $100,000, and the other would not be eliminated. The one who stayed would face the rest of the challenge alone for the remaining $450,000.
Hugo seriously considered it. He listed what he did around the bunker: all the cooking, the plants, even entertaining Rayne with his bad guitar playing. Rayne pleaded with him to remember they were supposed to be Sewer Rats together. She promised that if he stayed, she would say yes to whatever the next offer was. Hugo finally said he was staying, and the $100,000 went back into the pot.
His hesitation still hurt. Rayne said it felt like being broken up with. Soon after, they argued, with insults like "You're so stupid," and for the next four days they barely spoke. Jimmy said this made for "terrible content."
Ryan Trahan's 50 Hours and the Friendship Test
Jimmy's fix was a third scanner and a guest: YouTuber Ryan Trahan, who would spend the 50 hours leading up to the day-50 mark in the bunker under the same rules. Ryan brought gifts he hadn't been checked for, including a Beyoncé album and an MP3 player that became useful later. Jimmy tested the new group by waiting until they were far from the scanners before pressing the button. They made it.
Ryan saw that the two were mostly not talking and decided his job was to get them to day 100. He gave them a "friendship test." It began with a 60-second stare into each other's eyes and ended with each saying why they wanted to win for the other. Rayne said this was a huge opportunity for Hugo, who was the biggest MrBeast fan, and that the producers had picked a good person. Hugo said he knew how much Rayne's family had supported her and that she wanted to repay her parents and improve their lives. Ryan told them to remember they were doing it for themselves and for each other. With Ryan there, the narration said, things seemed better than ever. They celebrated day 50 with a cake made from Feastables, and then Jimmy escorted Ryan out.
Day 50: Seconds for Cash
Hugo guessed the halfway offer would cut the timer in half, and he was close. Jimmy offered $5,000 for every second removed. Hugo wanted to cut 10 or 15 seconds. Rayne called 15 too risky, and Hugo reminded her that she had promised to say yes to any offer if he stayed. They agreed on 10 seconds. The pot rose to $600,000 and the timer dropped to 20 seconds. They found their first 20-second alarm scary because they could see the countdown reach the teens.
Days 51–60: Unraveling Again
Without Ryan, the relationship started to fray again. Rayne kept the MP3 player to herself because there was no charger. Hugo countered that he had shared everything with her, including pineapples, coffee, and jam. Hugo turned a storage space under the floor into a "vibe cave," with snacks, books, and a couch, and declared it off-limits to girls.
The narration said the tension was causing careless mistakes. One alarm sounded while Rayne was away from the scanners, and Hugo yelled for her repeatedly. Afterward he said he wasn't going to lose $300,000 because Rayne didn't have her head in the game. Both described losing touch with normal life. Hugo said waking up in the bunker felt like a never-ending cycle.
On day 60, Jimmy offered $50,000 if the alarm could go off three times a day instead of once. Hugo was tempted, partly hoping the alarms might come back to back. They declined anyway. They said they had already been uncomfortable and that 40 more days was a long time.
Restlessness, Hidden Books, and Regret
By day 61, according to the narration, spring had arrived outside and their restlessness was growing. Both said the activities that used to be fun, like reading, journaling, and painting, had become boring. Hugo spent more and more time alone reading in the vibe cave. Rayne, wanting his attention back, hid his books. He accused her of messing with him and of "gaslighting" him, and said he was upset.
In this period Hugo began to regret turning down the day-40 money. He said he had refused it to get more, and now felt he had no choice but to stay. He said he didn't know if he could make it.
Day 70: $200,000, and No One to Stop You
Jimmy aimed the day-70 offer at that regret. He separated them with a curtain, with Hugo upstairs and Rayne by the money, and had his crew vacuum $200,000 out of the $600,000 pool. Either contestant could leave with a guaranteed $200,000 without eliminating the other. Jimmy explained that the separation meant Rayne couldn't talk Hugo out of leaving this time. He also framed leaving as generous: if one person left, the other would be playing for $400,000 instead of the $300,000 each would get by staying.
Hugo said he had almost left for $100,000 and this was double. He said he didn't know if he could forgive himself if he turned down $200,000 and then lost. Rayne said she thought he might leave. Jimmy counted down while reminding them they still had a month left and asking whether they wanted to see their families and the sun. When the curtains came down, neither had left. Jimmy put the money back and said he was amazed.
The narration noted that staying didn't fix things, and that money seemed to be the only thing keeping them there. Hugo said the hardest part wasn't the alarm but living with another person, especially such a demanding one, as Rayne kept asking him to make chicken, scrambled eggs, and eggs with chorizo. He said he would probably leave for $10,000 if Jimmy offered it then. When the plants started rotting, Rayne avoided the cleanup. Then Hugo asked Rayne for a haircut, and she ruined it. The narration called this the last straw. Hugo said he wanted to leave, and Rayne replied that the money would burn and they would both get nothing.
Day 80: One Question for Ten Quiet Days
Jimmy's next offer was a single question. A correct answer meant no alarm for the next ten days. A wrong answer meant five seconds off the timer. The question was whether Feastables or Hershey's tastes better. Rayne answered Feastables, which Jimmy accepted. They covered the timer with a sign.
The narration suggests the break may have been what they needed. Rayne, who had said she would never cook or bake, made Feastables chocolate-covered donuts, and Hugo praised them. They also used the time to prepare for day 90. Hugo timed Rayne with the MP3 player's stopwatch as she ran to the scanner from different spots. Her times were 2.61, 4.09, 3.87, 3.57, and 3.39 seconds. They called the coming stretch "war" and adopted "Go hard or go home" as their motto.
Day 90: $700,000 and a Minute That Doesn't Reset
On day 90 the alarm was back, and Jimmy brought $100,000 more, raising the pot to $700,000. In exchange, the timer would go up from 20 seconds to a full minute, but it would no longer reset after each scan. That one minute had to cover every response for the last ten days combined.
They discussed it briefly. They reasoned that they had averaged under five seconds every time, and they accepted. Then they rearranged the bunker so neither had to move more than about a foot from a scanner, and they moved their food over too. A test run took 1.11 seconds. They waited beside the scanners all day, and the day's alarm was their fastest ever.
Jimmy also used the rules against them. After midnight, which counted as a new day, his team waited for them to fall asleep and pressed the button. They responded in about two seconds anyway. Jimmy then waited for one of them to go to the bathroom, the farthest point from the scanners. When Hugo stepped away, the alarm went off and took five seconds. Rayne said he wasn't allowed to use the restroom anymore and painted a line on the floor to show how far he could go. According to the narration, the rule kept Hugo on track for several days. On day 98 he slipped again, and a bathroom trip cost 6.01 seconds, over the six-second limit Rayne had set. She pointed out that every slow response had come while he was in the bathroom. He said he had run as fast as he could and was "just peeing."
Hugo's Unfiltered Message
Near the end, while Rayne was showering, Hugo recorded what he called an unfiltered statement about her. He said it hadn't been easy, because she started as a stranger and they were very different people. He also said he wouldn't choose another partner, and that he was grateful to be paired with someone who wanted to win as badly as she did and who pushed him to be his best every day. Rayne overheard and thanked him. She said they had grown much closer. At the start they had brushed each other off and not really listened, but once they got to know each other, it stopped being about winning for themselves. Each said they would win for the other.
Day 100
On day 100, Jimmy came down for the last time and had the final button pressed. Rayne urged Hugo not to mess it up, and they scanned their hands in time. They climbed out and saw the sun for the first time in 100 days. Jimmy gave each of them $350,000, the full $700,000 they had protected through ten offers, a near-quit, two buyout attempts, and the last stretch with a shared one-minute timer.
I just built this bunker, and these two people who never met each other are going to attempt to live down here for the next 100 days.
Take your blindfolds off. Hugo, this is Rayne. Rayne, this is Hugo. Nice to meet you. This is their first time ever meeting.
And this is the nuclear bunker they will call home. Everything you would need to live for the next 100 days is in this bunker. You can even grow your own vegetables. Cool.
If you come over here, you'll find your bedroom. All 40 feet underground. Wait, what? Oh my God. Above you is a bed. Nice. And here's another bed.
And most importantly, over here is your half a million dollars. Dude. It's real. Well, it better be. If both of you stay in here for 100 days, you keep it. But if one of you leaves, you both get nothing. We're not leaving. 100 days, you could have half a million dollars. Wow. That's so much money.
Okay, let's see if they survive 100 days.
I can't believe we're actually here. Isn't it crazy? This is our new house. I know. You're my roommate now. We're not going to see the sun for 100 days. If we can grow our own food, we're here to be set.
So far, they seem to be getting along. But little did they know, that wasn't going to last for long. You are so stupid. You're a monster. I don't like you, dude. Hey, hey.
We're getting ready for night one. Hopefully we don't fall off tonight. Good night, Hugo. Good night, Rayne.
Good morning. I will say I don't like that I don't know what time it is. We didn't know each other at this time yesterday. We didn't. Now we're just cooking breakfast.
And even though these two literally just met, they're going to have to work together if they want to win half a million dollars. However, like always, there's going to be a twist.
That does look a little sus, that little thing right down there. Hey, yo, what is that? Why are these boxes locked? I don't know, man. There's something going on here we don't know about.
See this button right here? Don't touch it. It represents the twist of the century. But to find out about that, they're going to have to wait until day ten. That is, of course, if they don't die from boredom first.
What do you want to do today? I'm going to learn how to play guitar. Why do I need a radio when I can be the radio? What the heck? Over the next hundred days, I'm going to learn Spanish.
It's our third day in the bunker. Let's go. We're going to come out so ripped at the end of this. You're my new favorite human in this world. You're the coolest person I know down here. What?
And by day four, the challenges of living with a stranger were becoming more apparent. I got to tell you something. You were snoring bad last night, actually. Sorry. Some earplugs would be nice, but it's okay.
If Rayne ever annoys me, this'll just freak her out. This is our view of the outside. It's just dirt. So gross to look at. Hey, hey, hey.
But since leaving would cost him half a million dollars, they were going to have to make the best of it. I made enough salad for both of us. I am so bored. Today we're building a throne of canned food. I'm Hugo. I'm Rayne. And this is life in the bunker. And this is life in the bunker. No!
And once they got to day 10, it was time for my special offer. Wow. It's Jimmy. All right. I think it's time I show you guys the twist of this video.
There's two boxes on each side of the room. Yeah, we saw that earlier. What do you think's behind you? A button? A button. Oh my God. A hand scanner. And on the other side, another hand scanner. Oh, and one more thing. A one-minute timer.
Hey, Chandler, do the thing. Finally. As you'll see, the timer's now counting down. If you let that timer ever hit zero, your money will instantly be engulfed in flames, incinerating every single dollar of that half a million.
And to stop your money from burning, you two are going to have to work together. It's pretty simple. Put your hands on those scanners, and there you go. The timer stopped.
So every single day, at some random time, this will happen. Every single day? Every day. What if I'm showering? I don't care the reason why. If you guys mess up just one time, both of you are leaving with nothing. Oh my gosh. See you in a couple of days.
Oh my God. I won't be able to sleep comfortably. Ever. Yeah, yeah. For 100 days. If we mess up one time, we're done. We should move our beds down here. Okay.
I still feel this weight on my chest, but it only goes off once a day. But it could be at any time. I'm not going to lie. I am a lot more stressed out. Just having that lingering feeling that the button could be pressed at any moment.
Oh my God. Rayne, Rayne, Rayne, Rayne. Go, go, go, go. Oh, God. That scared me. Dude, my heart just dropped to my toes. Well, it's not going to go off again today, so.
And after the daily alarm, Hugo and Rayne spent their free time reading and learning to work together. This is Beast Boot Camp. Get down and give me two.
And honestly, it seemed like they were on track to win this half a million dollars. But to test their strength as a team, one morning I visited them at 6 a.m. to press the alarm to see if I could trip them up. Oh my God, hurry! But they were still pretty fast.
However, Hugo and Rayne weren't just quick at my alarm, considering it only took them 13 days to find the surprise I had hidden under the floorboards. Is that a latch? There's no way we're supposed to know about this. Tying up. No way. This is like a whole other world. There's so much.
And now that they're equipped with the world's best chocolate, Hugo and Rayne were really starting to get into the groove of saving their money from burning every day. Let's do this. We got this, Rayne, we got this. And with every day gone by, they were one day closer to winning $500,000. We scare the alarm. The alarm doesn't scare us.
From now on, every ten days, I'll bring them a new offer. And since it's day 20, Nolan, can you hear us? Yeah. Press the button.
You guys have gotten very good at this and literally do it in a couple seconds every time. Which makes me wonder, do you even need a minute anymore? Yeah. We would like it. Yeah. We definitely... Yeah. Let's see how much you'd like it.
I will add an extra $50,000 to your prize pool for a grand total of $550,000 if you let me shrink this one-minute timer down to 30 seconds. Really think about it, because the next 80 days, you will only have 30 seconds to place both of your hands on these. If you miss once, $550,000 burns instead of $500,000.
Let's think about this. This is a lot of money on the line. Now we're about to shrink the timer and make everything harder. Is $50,000 worth it? I don't know. We've been here in less than 10 seconds every time. I think we can do it. We should do it.
Let's go. Let's do it. We're doing it. It will now permanently rest at 30 seconds. Nolan. Here comes the money. As promised, here's your $50,000. Hopefully it doesn't get you out.
I'm not going to lie, that may have been a stupid decision. No, you can't say that now. Actually, it was a phenomenal decision. You see, not once did they even come close to failing, each day getting to the hand scanner in under 10 seconds. Rayne, we got this alarm thing in the bag. Now it's like don't get too bored in here.
So with the day 30 offer, let's see if we can take the difficulty up a notch. It's day 30, and I have another offer. Instead of telling you the offer, I'm going to show you. Press the button. Oh, it's quiet.
That's my offer. $50,000 will be added to the prize pool, bringing it up to $600,000. But there will be no noise when the alarm goes off every day. I'll give you guys some time to discuss it. Yeah.
We won't get the alarm back. What if this is the last money offer? We got $550,000 we've been able to protect so far. Is that not enough? We would have to take shifts from now on until the challenge is done. Do you want to do that? Dude, it's so much money.
All right, guys, it's time to decide. Do you want $50,000 added to your prize pool if you let me turn off the sound? As much as we would like it, we can't. We're passing. Really? You can both buy Teslas. We could already buy Teslas, though. You can buy more Teslas. I only need one car.
All right, I'll see you in... I don't know, sometime in the future. See you later. Maybe.
I can't believe we said no. Jimmy just offered me $50,000. Who says no to that? Rayne. Saying no to that much money hurts. He'll come around to it. He'll get over it. I think we made the right decision.
So in an attempt to recover their relationship, they moved all their food supplies out of the way to paint a mural for their new team name, the Sewer Rats. Dang, I crushed that. Yeah. You're welcome.
But it wasn't enough because Hugo was still frustrated that he was doing most of the chores, such as feeding the fish and cleaning their tank. This is gross. Oh my gosh. And maintaining the garden so they never ran out of fresh vegetables. Yeah. Good job, good job. What would I do without Hugo? Die!
And on top of that, Hugo had done most of the cooking himself. And since they were eating three times a day, that meant he had cooked over 100 meals for the both of them. Oh my God, you're like my own personal Waffle House. Don't disrespect me like that.
And while the tension was continuing to grow between them, my day 40 offer wasn't going to make things any easier. And before we go in the bunker, it's time to bring out the sucker. Nolan? I was going to say that. The money sucker. Okay.
To kick off day 40, hey, Chandler, do the thing. Chandler and Tareq are currently aboveground vacuuming up $100,000, which you have not lost. We're doing it. It's sucking.
And for the next ten minutes, if one of you leaves, you can walk away with the $100,000 they just vacuumed out, and the other person won't be eliminated. But you'd be abandoning your teammate to be isolated in this bunker to win the other 450 grand. If one of you want to leave, now's the chance.
Maybe I could leave. I do everything around here. I do all the cooking. I take care of the plants. I even entertain you with how bad I am at the guitar. I think I might leave. No, you can't. I think I am.
We were supposed to be Sewer Rats together. We can do this, dude. Where's your Sewer Rat mind, dude? If you want to say yes to the next offer, I'll say yes. Whatever Hugo wants. I'll shake on that. I feel like he's still going to take the ladder.
All right. Is either one of you getting $100,000 stuffed in the back of your car right now? I'm going to say no. I'm sorry. But I'm staying. No. Let's go. I'll go put the 100 grand back in the pot. See you in ten days, then.
And even though they ultimately decided to stay together, Hugo's hesitation was testing the bond of the Sewer Rats. It almost felt like when you're getting broken up with. Kind of hopeless. Should I have let him just leave?
Hugo, what's your deal? You are a little weird. It was just a little too basic for my liking. I'm so okay with being basic. I don't like being basic. Okay, but that's obnoxious. You're so stupid. What did she just say? Dude, don't yell at me like that. That is insane. I don't know if they're making it.
Over the next four days, Hugo and Rayne have barely even spoke to each other, which makes for terrible content. So I decided to shake things up in the bunker by introducing a new variable.
What? That looks like another scanner. Are they bringing in another person? That is like my worst nightmare. I don't want to trust anybody else. But I guess we're going to find out really soon. Very soon.
How's it going? Hey, Jimbo. This ladder never gets less sketchy. I brought you two a friend. Okay, close your eyes. Someone who knows a thing or two about living in unusual places. I brought Ryan Trahan.
Okay. You're a lot shorter in person. Not cool. That's the wrong foot to get started on, because he's going to be spending the next 50 hours in the bunker with the two of you. This is crazy.
Now that you're a contestant... That was not supposed to happen. You have to play by the same rules as Hugo and Rayne. I'm a liability. Okay. You'll need to switch into this. You look thick.
In exactly 50 hours is the 50-day mark. Ryan's going to be with you guys until then. Have fun. Wait, Jimmy, no! Enjoy Ryan.
Hey, guys. Hey. Hugo? Hugo. I'm Ryan. Ryanalicious. Hi, nice to meet you. Nice to meet you, buddy. New roommates. New roommates. Guys, I'm shaking. I'm actually nervous right now.
To be honest, I probably should have checked Ryan's bag because... I brought you something. Stop it. Beyoncé. It's her album. It's her album, dude.
It's time for the first button press. But I'm gonna wait until they're very far away from the hand scanners to press it. Oh, go, go, go, go, go. Nice.
I'm going to use the restroom real quick. Okay. She uses the restroom all the time.
I genuinely cannot fathom that they have been here for almost 50 days already. Hugo and Rayne do not really like each other, and it's actually a threat to them finishing this 100-day challenge. You guys spend most of your time during the days not talking? Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
After spending a whole day with them, I realize the entire reason that I'm here is to make sure that Hugo and Rayne get to day 100. So today we are doing a friendship test. A friendship test.
The first test is a 60-second stare into each other's souls. Oh my God. Okay, you guys ready? Three. Two. One. Success!
This is the final question. Rayne, why do you want to win for Hugo? This is such a crazy opportunity for him. And he's the biggest fan of MrBeast. He's gotta win. They picked such a good person for this video, so. That's so true.
Hugo, why do you want to win for Rayne? I know how much her family helps her and literally given her the ability to do anything. She really wants to repay her parents. I want to help her really better their life. That's it, I'm about to cry. Dang, man.
If you guys can just remember you're doing it for yourselves, but also for each other. Yeah. 100%. Then this money is yours. Friendship test complete. Thank you. You pass.
With Ryan around, it seemed like things were better than ever. And when it was finally day 50... Jimmy. You're having a party. They even made a chocolate cake using Feastables, which obviously tasted phenomenal. Happy 50 day to you. You guys are both incredible human beings. Come here.
Unfortunately, Ryan, your 50 hours are now over. I must escort you out of here. The first thing I see out of apocalypse bunker is Nolan's face. And he almost turned back around.
And now that Ryan has left, what do you think your day 50 offer is? I personally think since we're halfway done, you're going to cut the time in half. It's not far off.
My day 50 offer is for every second you take off this timer, I'll add $5,000 to the prize pool. I like that. That's the offer. You have ten minutes to decide.
I'm thinking either 10 or 15. That's too risky. You said I can say yes to any challenge I wanted to if I stayed. 10 seconds down? I'm cool with 10. Let's cut that 10.
What are you guys thinking? We're cool with cutting down 10 seconds. I'll go get the money. Thank you, Jimmy. There's your money, $600,000. And now that I've thrown away another $50,000, I'm going to once again leave you in this bunker. I'll see you in ten days. All right. See you, Jimmy. Bye, Jimmy.
Now it's day 51. It's the first morning without Ryan. So quiet down here now.
So we just experienced our first 20-second alarm. It was a little scary, actually, to see the alarm down in the teens. It was scary.
Without Ryan bringing peace to the bunker, Hugo and Rayne's relationship was beginning to unravel again.
I want to make it very clear, Hugo, we don't have a charger for this thing. I'm going to be the only one to drain this battery. I don't get one song? I've given you everything. You get some of my pineapples, you get all the coffee, you're eating my jam right now. Okay. Okay. Not like I put my hand on the other scanner to get her $300,000.
And in an already compact bunker, Hugo needed to find ways to make space for himself. There's some storage space in the floor, and I turned it into a little vibe cave. No girls allowed. Got my snacks, my books, and my couch.
Painting with music feels amazing.
You want to come hang out in my vibe cave? Rayne? What the heck?
And as the days went on, the tension between Hugo and Rayne was causing them to make careless mistakes.
I'm going to feed these fish. Morning, fishes. Come on. Time to eat.
Rayne! I'm coming! Rayne! Go, go, go, go, go, go! Rayne!
That took way too long. I'm not about to lose $300,000 because Rayne doesn't have her head in the game.
I'm starting to forget what my normal life was like. Waking up in the bunker, it's like my normal life doesn't seem like it's a thing anymore. It just feels like it's a never-ending cycle.
But no matter the case, Hugo and Rayne were continuously able to prevent me from igniting their money. So come day 60, I wanted to see if I could at least ignite their greed.
Let's see who gets to press the button. I win. No, I win. Oh, sheesh.
I need to drop something. Do you mind moving really far away? Oh, nice. Sorry about that.
For my day 60 offer, I will give you this $50,000 if you let me set off the alarm three times a day instead of one for the remainder of the challenge. Oh my God. I'll let you two converse.
Dude, I really want to do that. It would be cool to do it. But I don't know how likely it is that they just go off back to back like this. That would be ideal.
All right. What are we doing with this $50,000? Am I adding it to your bank accounts or not? No. No. Really? I'll take my money and leave.
I think we made the right choice. We've been pretty uncomfortable, but we don't want to be uncomfortable for too long. 40 days is still a long time.
And considering they arrived at my bunker over two months ago, by the time day 61 rolled around, spring was in full bloom and so was their restlessness.
I'm kind of tired of waking up and staying in one space all day. It's now our new normal and it's now no longer fun.
I just don't want to read anymore. Don't feel like journaling. I don't feel like painting. All the things that used to be fun are just boring now.
Having shared the same space together for 60-plus days, Hugo was now becoming addicted to the alone time he was spending in his vibe cave.
I'm gonna go hang out in the vibe cave and read. You've been reading all day, Hugo.
I think Rayne's trying to get a little upset with the amount of reading I do, but I don't want to go up there and do the puzzle anymore.
What? He stopped reading for two seconds. I think I'm going to hide his books.
Rayne needed to take it into her own hands if she wanted to gain back Hugo's attention.
Did you hide my books? Did I hide your books? No. Now I know you're messing with me because I have another stack of books right there. I thought they're over there. Think about it.
She's starting to gaslight me now. And I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm pretty upset about it.
You started thinking back to Jimmy's offer on day 40. I could have taken that, but I said no, because I wanted more money. So just knowing that I have no other choice now because I decided to stay. I don't know if I can make it.
After hearing the regret in Hugo's voice, I had an offer on day 70 that would be too perfect for him to pass up. But as always, first things first. We need to press the button.
You closed it. I closed it. What did you do? You turn their lights off.
How's it going? We're good, how are you? Before I could reveal the day 70 offer, I need to split you up. Hugo, head upstairs. Rayne, go by the money. Time to set up the wall.
These curtains are stressing me out. What's going on? What's gonna happen?
Hey, Karl, go ahead and suck the money up. Sucking 200 grand. We're currently sucking up $200,000 out of the $600,000 prize pool. And similar to one of my previous offers, if one of you leaves, you get to walk away with 100 grand.
I think I might leave. No, you can't. One of you can leave and go home right now. You brought the offer back? Yes, but this time you can walk away with a guaranteed 200 grand without eliminating the other person. Okay.
But unlike my day 40 offer, I separated you guys so that this time she can't stop you from leaving, if you still want to. That's spicy. Oh, my God, Jimmy, why do you put me through this?
You'd be doing Rayne a favor because now, instead of competing for 300 grand, which is what you both would make if you chose to stay, she's competing for 400 grand. So by leaving, you're actually helping her? I do give her 100 grand. Yeah.
I don't know. I feel like he might leave. I don't know if I can forgive myself if I said no to $200K and I ended up losing this challenge.
And while they're deciding on whether or not they want 200 grand, I'm going to tell you guys about Monster Hunter Now. What? Monster Hunter Now is a free-to-play mobile game from Niantic. Kind of like Pokémon Go. Does that make either of you want to play it? This is awful timing for this. Come on.
And to really showcase this game, I need to go to the surface. Monster Hunter Now encourages you to go outside and find the monsters. Let's say you're walking a dog. You can hunt monsters, or you're buying Feastables. You can still fight monsters. Or I'm on a date. That's not realistic, but the fighting monsters is.
Monster Hunter Now also gave me my own in-game quests available for the next 30 days. Plus, MrBeast sword, shields, and other in-game items. Click the link in the description or scan this QR code to download Monster Hunter and use code MRBEASTHUNT to get special items for free. My quest is only available for the next 30 days, so you need to make sure you hurry.
I almost left at 100K. This is double that. And remember, if you don't step out, you still have one month left in this bunker. Do you want to see your family? Do you want to see the sun? And more importantly, do you care about the other person of the bunker and want them to make an extra 100 grand?
Five. Four. Three. Two. Last chance for a guaranteed $200,000. One. We're coming down. There's no way he's still over there. I'm now going to pull down these curtains and reveal if someone left.
Neither of you left. What? And since neither of you left, here's your $200,000 back. I'll see you in ten more days.
I just said no to $200,000. I'm amazed you said no. I hope you don't regret it. Because I don't want to hear it.
They may have stayed together, but the money was the only thing keeping them here.
I don't really care to be doing this anymore. Sometimes the hardest part of this challenge isn't even the alarm. It's living with another person. Especially when they're so demanding.
Would you mind making me chicken? Did you make me scrambled eggs? Do you think when you're done you can make me a little bit of eggs and chorizo?
It just sucks now. I'm just tired of doing all the same thing every day. I don't mind helping Rayne, but this is too much. If Jimmy came down here and offered me 10K to leave right now, I'd probably just dip.
Spending all this time with Rayne was starting to get to Hugo, and when their plants started literally rotting, Rayne was hesitant to get her hands dirty.
Yeah, if you just get that nasty water out. Well, you're not going to help here? No, you got this. Thanks, Rayne. I'm going to do cartwheels. The smell.
So I don't know why, but I asked Rayne to give me a haircut. And of course, she messed that up too.
Destroying Hugo's hair was the last straw, and his morale was at an all-time low.
I think I want to leave. Go ahead. The money's going to burn and we'll both win nothing.
I could tell that they were struggling. So let's see if my next offer cheers them up or makes it way worse.
I'm going to ask you two a question, and if you answer correctly, I will not press the button for the next 10 days. You'll have 10 days off. 10 days free would be crazy. But if you answer incorrectly, I'm going to shave five seconds off the timer.
Oh, I think I know exactly what you're about to ask. The question is, which tastes better? A Feastables chocolate bar or a Hershey's chocolate bar? Pretty obvious, Feastables. She's right. This is great. That was easy.
For the next 10 days, I'm not going to press the red button. You guys should catch up on sleep because day 90 won't be so easy.
Rayne, Rayne, the alarm. Oh my God. I'll see you two then. I'll say we can just cover this up. Dude, you're right. See you in 10 days, timer.
And so, despite all the tension that's been building up between them, removing the alarm might have been the exact thing that these two needed to start getting along.
Since we don't have an alarm, I could do whatever I want. So that's what I'm doing. On the menu today: donuts.
Rayne said she would never ever cook or bake. My roommate is over there making some donuts right now, dude. And they look great. Thanks, Hugo. All right, here are the donuts. Taste test. Feastables chocolate-covered donut. Oh, my God, Feastables is so good.
And since Feastables single-handedly saved their friendship, the rest of the 80s went by like a breeze. And so they decided to use their extra time from each day to prepare for what was to come.
What we should be doing is preparing for day 90. Let's get this game plan together and let's make sure we win.
I'm going to have Hugo time me running from different areas in the bunker to the hand scanner, using the stopwatch on the MP3 player Ryan gave us.
Go. 2.61. That's... okay, okay. Go! 4.09. Okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Still under five. Go. 3.87, 3.57. Okay. 3.39.
Day 90 to 100, it's going to be war. Go hard or go home. I'm going to go hard because I'm not going home.
The timer comes back tomorrow on day 90. But after all this training, we got this. Time to take the sign down. There she is.
It's officially day 90, which means it's time for the first button push in over ten days.
The button pressing is back. Did you miss the button? Surprisingly, a little bit.
Okay, coming down, here is $100,000 to add to your prize pool. And I'll give it to you right now, increasing your balance to $700,000. And in exchange for this money, I'm actually going to give you more time on the counter, raising it from 20 seconds to one entire minute. However, once you scan your hands each day, the timer will not reset and that one minute will have to last you for the last ten days of the challenge.
Okay. We'll give you one minute to think on it. What do you think? What do you think? It's kind of scary, but... This is a lot of money. Our math is there. We've averaged less than five seconds every time. Every time. All in. All right. Go hard or go home. Go hard or go home.
Jimmy, we made our decision. All right, what is your decision? We're going to do it. You sure? Yes. No takesie backsies. Adding it to the money pile. All right. Go hard or go home, that's what it is. Jimmy, I'll see you in 10 days.
Since we officially have $700,000 on the line and only 60 seconds, it's time we redecorate a little bit. We've set up the bunker so we don't have to move more than a foot away from the scanner. We even brought all the food we need over here. We've been in here for 90 days, and it all comes down to this.
Let's see how we turn off the alarm from our new seating area. 1.11. That's crazy. Every second literally counts.
And terrified that we would press the button, these two waited by their hand scanners literally all day. And so of course, when we pushed the button, they were ready.
Let's go. Holy... That was their fastest one ever. Yes.
And so they went to bed. But little did they know, it was now past midnight, which meant it was a new day. And all we had to do was wait for them to fall asleep.
They were literally asleep, and it took them two seconds. They didn't fall for it, but I knew that at some point they were going to have to use the bathroom. So I waited for the moment when they got as far away from the scanners as possible.
Rayne, Rayne, the alarm. Nice. Nice, dude, you came down there flying.
All right. I think we can afford one bathroom break. Excuse me. Yes. Get back over here. Don't you dare. Get back over here. Don't you take a step farther, Hugo.
Hugo. Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come on, come. That took five seconds. Dang it, that's slow.
You're not allowed to use the restroom anymore. I really want that to be the only five-second alarm that we get from now on. So no using the restroom tomorrow? We're just going to have to hold it until the alarm goes off.
I'm going to paint a line on the ground, so that way he knows his limits, how far he can go, how far he can't go. Here's the line.
Rayne's bathroom rule might have been intense, but for the next few days, the rule actually kept Hugo on track for every day's alarm. But on day 98, Hugo started slipping into old habits.
Hugo! Hugo! Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on. How long did that take? 6.01.
Hugo, you went over the six-second time limit. I mean, I ran as fast as I could. The longest amount of time that we've taken to turn off these alarms is because you're in the bathroom. Do you not see a problem? Do you not see it? Am I no longer allowed to use the bathroom ever? Hugo, don't play with it. But I'm not playing with it. I'm just peeing.
And through all the tension, Hugo took the next opportunity to speak his mind.
Rayne is showering and this is the last time I have time to tell you how I feel about her. Unfiltered. It obviously hasn't been easy because she was a stranger first, and we are two completely separate people. Seriously, I wouldn't choose another partner to do this with. I'm grateful I was put in here with someone who wants to win as bad as she does, and someone that really pushes me to just be the best every day.
Hey dude, that was nice of you. You weren't supposed to hear that. I really appreciate that, though. We have gotten a lot closer throughout this challenge, and... Both of our just determination to win. Yeah. As much as I did at the beginning, we were brushing each other off, not really listening. Once we got to know each other, it wasn't us wanting to just win anymore. It was like, I'm going to win this for you. And you're going to win it for me. I'm going to win this for you.
Happy day 100. I'm heading down for the last time. Unless someone nukes our country.
100 days. All for this. You both ready? Dude! Yeah. We're ready. You sure? We're ready.
Karl! Yes? Press the button. Dude. You ready? The final button press. All right, y'all take a little too long. Yeah! Yeah! Let's go, let's go, let's go. Yeah, come on, come on. Ready? Come on, Hugo. Don't mess this up. Hugo, come on. All right. Yes!
It's been a hundred days. Go on up. This is crazy. This is their first time seeing the sun in 100 days.
Yes! God. Oh, my God. I missed you guys so much. Yes.
As promised, here's your 350 grand. And Rayne, here is your 350 grand. I'll see you around.
