**The Final Trial – The Endurance Plinth: ** Maya vs. Ricky. They must stand on a narrow plinth over a murky pond while being sprayed with freezing water, fake blood, and live crickets. The last one to stay on for their camp wins for their charity. Ricky lasts two hours. Maya lasts three, whispering her childhood TV show’s theme song under her breath. Ricky loses his balance.

The first week is a disaster. Ricky tries to lead but only commands. Kai has a meltdown when a leech attaches to his ankle (Tank removes it without a word). Priya successfully argues with producers about the definition of “inedible offal.” Maya, desperate to be liked, volunteers for the first “Verdict” trial – The Crypt of Crawlies (a dark pit filled with snakes, cockroaches, and fish guts).
