Of the 456 initial participants, only three reached the grand final of the program: Sam Lantzthe No. 16 player; Mai Whelan, player No. 287; It is Phil Cain, player nº 451 – who, by the way, is Brazilian. Throughout the season, the three were out of the main storylines of the dispute, avoiding the spotlight, which helped ensure their survival in the games.
To decide who would be the winner, participants had to first test their luck in a new challenge, in which they would need to choose a button to press. However, only two of them would survive the game.
May was the first to try and went through to the grand final without complications, leaving the last place between Sam It is Phil. “Seeing everything I’ve worked for taken away from me by luck is more than I can handle,” declared Samin tears, when testing his luck and being eliminated from Round 6: The Challenge.
With the prize of US$ 4.56 million (R$ 22.30 million at current prices) between May It is Phil, it was time to compete in the last challenge of the program, which was… Rock, Paper, Scissors. Whoever won the round would have the right to open a glass box, which would reveal who the big winner of the dispute was.
While May he paid attention to his competitor’s moves, trying to predict what his movements would be in order to beat him, Phil admitted that he was choosing at random, hoping to guarantee a lucky win. Possibly, May managed to find the right key to the glass box and won the million dollar prize.
THE WAIT IS OVER!
