(Cough Luke cough.)
His tactics are obvious, and his comebacks sound like they came from a middle-school playground.
(This week, he literally pulled out a nunya, as in nunya business.
Thats what were dealing with here.)
And yet hes well on his way to dominating this game.
Now that the player pool has dropped to ten, Team Family is too powerful for its own good.
Put all of that together, and they might as well have painted the targets on their own backs.
Dr. Will knows this.
Just like last week, the banker has ditched the physical challenges for a social game.
Each pair will sit on opposite sides of a tower.
In each pair, whoever locks in the higher value wins safety from elimination.
Some players choose to face this challenge by negotiating honestly with their partners, and others decide to lie.
This is where alliances are tested and, in some cases, possibly broken.
Lete and La Shell go first, and predictably, they both play a clean game.
also collaborate honestly to secure their highest-value case, as do David and M.G.
But when Parvati and Phillips turn comes, we watch an alliance fall apart in real-time.
Phillip plays the good soldier most of the time, but he clearly doesnt trust her.
Why else would he lie to her about the case value he wants to secure?
He says its worth $1.5 million, but in reality, its $1.6 million.
Its no secret they hate each other.
Dickson promised Will last week that hed send C.K.
home but went for his own rival, Storm, instead.
He throws the game, losing on purpose to guarantee he has a chance to do so.
Heres where things get weird (and, frankly, tedious).
and throws a hissy fit when they pull their ropes at the same time.
As in, he literally walks away.
Will explains his reasoning multiple times, but honestly, I still dont get it.
Like any smart social strategist, shell take any option that keeps her hands clean and preserves her alliances.
When Will volunteers, she happily acquiesces.
In some cases, the reasons are personal.
Sadly for M.G., shes the only Family member up for elimination.
The writing is on the wall even before Dr. Will picks his first briefcase.
Obviously, Dr. Will wins his Deal or No Deal duel with the banker.
Wed never be so lucky as to see him go home this soon.
If he had, Id have played the lottery immediately.
Ill say this for the so-called doctor: He knows how to get under peoples skin.
One, two, three, four … etc.
This pisses everyone off, but Im not actually sure why.
What new information did he glean from that?
Anyway, Will ultimately adds $168,000 to the prize pot and sends a crestfallen M.G.
Like it or not, Will mightve just gotten the upper hand.
