Challenge 1: Free Throw for a Cybertruck

• Participants could leave the cube to take a basketball free throw.
• Making the shot wins a Cybertruck for their subscriber and lets them back into the challenge. Missing the shot means elimination.
• Mark Rober misses. Jidion also fails.
• Jesser and FazeRug successfully make their shots.
• After witnessing failures, most participants opt not to try.
• 4 YouTubers eliminated. Pokimane leaves voluntarily.

Challenge 2: Cookie Cutting

• Participants split into groups of 5 and elect a captain who gets immunity for the challenge.
• Each group must cut shapes out of cookies (star, triangle, umbrella).
• Sketch successfully completes his task, but others fail.
• Notably difficult shapes like the umbrella cause most eliminations.
• 11 more participants eliminated including Sketch, Colby, Rugs, Michael Reeves, Fede, Ossy, Lexi, Matpat, Jschlatt, Pokimane, and Mastu.

Challenge 3: Giant Jenga

• Paired in groups of two with hands duct-taped together, participants face off in giant Jenga.
• Normal Jenga later because giant version takes too long.
• Most notable exit: KSI unfairly votes out his opponent but later gets eliminated via a group vote.
• Eliminations continue gradually.

Challenge 4: Deal Or No Deal

• Involves cases with a mixture of ‘Safe’ and ‘Eliminated’ tokens.
• Speed was too late to join, so the remaining 34 play.

Challenge 5: Cooking

• Groups of two prepare a meal for three judges: Joey Chestnut, Miranda Cosgrove, IShowSpeed.

  • Spaghetti tacos inspired by iCarly.
