16 strangers from all walks of life

are living in this
iconic London tower.

Some seized power...

Bloody Nora!

..and are the Rulers at the top.

There's a bar!

The rest have become Grafters...

Lift falling.

..living a life of hard work
in the basement...

Jesus.

It is grotesque.



..as they battle to win up
to £100,000.

Previously,
sparks flew in the red room.

Prince, let me finish,
let me finish.

One second, I will stop you,
no, no... No, no.

Can I just finish what I wanna say?

Cheryl squeezed the most
out of the Grafters.

Yes!

You have earned £2,500
for the prize fund.

Ah, they done it!

Yes!

Marina became the first Grafter
to rise.

You fucking deserve it.
Thank you so much.

Welcome to the penthouse
as a Ruler.

Tonight, a new arrival
shocks the Grafters...



What the fuck?!

I'm Rossi.

..tempers flair...

I don't need to explain it
to you. You're a clever girl.

What?

..and at the end of
a dog's dinner of a day...

THEY RETCH

..which Ruler will fall?

Strategy is going to have
to come into it.

It's only going to get harder.
He's a patronising prick.

The gap between the top and bottom
has never been closer.

This is Rise and Fall.

With Marina ascending
to the Ruling heavens,

we thought we'd send another
Grafter down to basement hell -

and this one's a right cheeky devil.

Oh, there's a bloke! Oh, my God.

Ooh! Hi.

Are you moving in? I'm Rossi.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

I'm a Grafter.

Hello, I'm James. Nice to meet you.
Hi, James. Are you good?

Hi. I'm Connor. Nice to meet you.

Connor. We can hug, look.

Joanna. Joanna. Hi.

Sydney. Sydney. What's your name?
Rossi. Rossi.

A bit nervous, but nerves are good.

It's not bad nerves,

I'm not gonna shit myself,
but you know, it's good nerves.

What have I let myself in for?!

We're a bit shocked.

Yeah, so am I!

Take a seat, bruv.

I'm a little bit fuming

because we've just had another
Grafter go upstairs

and now we've just had
a new person walk through the door.

It's another person that you've...
you've got to beat.

What do you do for work?
Where are you from?

I'm from London originally
but I live in Norfolk.

People think I'm gay, but I'm not.

I've got a wife and a kid
and they've all...

Oh, my God! I used to be cabin crew.

I done cabin crew for seven years.
Wow. What do you do now?

Fashion merchandiser.
My dad owns a...

My family business is fashion.
Oh, wow.

Can I interest you in some soup
and bread?

I'm gonna tell you something now,

that soup is the worst thing you've
ever put in your mouth, mate.

Don't say that. I doubt it.

Don't start!
We've got another flirt in here.

My game plan is

to be a little bit of a lovable,
funny rogue

and then have
a bit of two-facedness about me.

I'm here to win the goddam thing,

so if I have to piss people off,
so be it.

The gloves are off for Rossi -

although probably not for long,
with how cold it is down there.

And up in the penthouse,

where only a Ruler can win
the prize fund,

Marina is settling into her life
as a dynamic young leader

by putting on an eye-mask
and going to bed.

Oh, I'm so happy for you today,
you know.

Thank you. Honestly,
I'm just very humbled

by kind of the support I've had
from everyone here,

like, from the Grafters
and from you guys

and, like, it means a lot,
it really does.

I was just really overwhelmed

to be promoted up to a Ruler.

I dropped out of Uni less than two
months ago,

and it was brave
and it was a big decision

but I definitely did not think
I'd have this kind of power.

You could succeed and fulfil
anything you put your mind to, OK?

Always channel that
and believe that and be true.

No, 100%.

There's a lot of mixed vibes
at the moment in the penthouse.

Rishika and Rachel are very tight
at the moment.

I'm hoping Marina doesn't be
so naive

to that situation.

Is she going to be naive
and go with them?

I feel it's gonna be me
against the three of them.

Do you snore, Rossi?

No, babes.

Lovely.

The bedroom of the basement reminds
me a bit of...

..army camp barracks.

One pillow don't help. I like two
pillows to get to sleep on.

Can I get another pillow?
I just can't sleep with one,

cos my neck and my back.

You can have Marina's one.

I could have been in
the penthouse right now.

Marina's up there, living the high
life. I'm down here eating gruel.

You know, it's made me realise,

I need to up my game
and get to the top,

so I can be a Ruler.

Goodnight. Night.

Goodnight, Grafters.

It's another brisk March morning
in London,

enough to put anyone in a good mood.

Oh, except the Grafters,

who are imprisoned
in a windowless basement.

ALARM BLARES

Starving, mate.
I think everyone's hungry.

How was your first night, boss?

It was weird. I couldn't get to
sleep and then I fell asleep,

then woke up and thought,
where, am I?

I hate that. I'm in the middle of
a nightmare. Yeah, shit.

How do you think Marina's
first night was?

Probably glorious, innit,
I'd imagine.

Mate, he went up there yesterday.
Explain the penthouse to him.

Oh, yeah - yeah, the penthouse
is absolutely glorious,

so she's in for a treat. Like,
there's a bath or a shower

but I'm talking the bath is probably
about four feet deep.

OK, so, yeah, she'll be having...

No, I reckon she'll be
stressed, mate,

cos the second you can go up,

you can just get eliminated
at any point.

Bloody hell.

Yeah, welcome to Rise and Fall.
The clue's in the title.

The second Ruler elimination
vote is tonight -

but Marina won't be worried about
that yet,

because she's enjoying her first
taste of the high life.

This is where it gets really, like,
insightful,

because we're gonna see how bringing
someone who's been in the basement

up to the penthouse is going to
affect the dynamic

of everything that we do here.

Marina's really valuable to us

because she understands
the dynamics down there.

Because we don't know what
the experience is down there,

we don't know what
the dynamics are down there.

Following the voices.

Good morning. Do you see the board?
Good morning.

Oh, my gosh I'm...

Oh, my gosh!

Oh, my gosh,
we've got someone new.

He's jumped in your grave,
hasn't he?

Good morning. Good morning.

Oh, my gosh, this is...
and the view, like...

Yeah. I wish it was sunny down here
as well.

This is how Rulers have breakfast.
This is a lot to take in.

Exactly, isn't it? I'm used to my
one big pot of grey slop.

Do you know what, though,
how much did you adapt?

You adapted so well and played it,
didn't you? Yeah.

And now you've come up here.
Exactly.

So, you've earned your place
in the penthouse.

Yeah, absolutely.

Yeah, absolutely and I think
I'm gonna make you proud

of your decision
and make you happy with that.

I'm super excited to get
to know everyone,

get to know everyone's leadership
styles and just get things moving.

I'm really, really, really, really
excited and happy that you are here.

So, I was born and raised in
Sierra Leone

and my mum left when
I was five years old.

Then the war started in
Sierra Leone,

so I've been through things that you
couldn't even begin to imagine,

so all the smiling, all this,
it's in appreciation of life itself,

that no matter what
I've been through,

you can always rise to the top,

no matter what you go through,

you can channel that and use it to
your greatest advantage.

When I was speaking with you
and asking you questions

because that's the good, that's the
best way to... 100%, yeah.

..understand, you know,
where someone's mind is

and what their strengths are.

Can I, can I give you
some feedback? Yeah.

Politely and respectfully. Yeah.

I think sometimes when
you're speaking,

and I love your passion, Prince,
I love how empowering you are. Yeah.

But sometimes I get lost in
the point you're trying to make

because it's quite long. OK.

It's like you're so passionate

and so, like, powerful with what
you're saying and doing. Yeah.

And you mean it. Yeah. But I'm like,
I don't know what I'm listening to,

like, it's gone
from one to the other,

so I feel like that's what it is.

I know, OK. It's...

It's - obviously, everyone has a
different style of communication.

Yeah, I know. For me... Of course.
..I'm a very elaborative person.

Yeah. I do communicate very clearly.
Yeah.

So... But, yeah,
thank you for your feedback.

Oh, wow,

there is a completely new

and "not surprisingly" new dynamic
in the penthouse

with Marina being here.

This game is a game of strategy
and alliance

and, yeah, everything's changed.

Chow's up.

Oh, I'm dreading this.

Right, let's have a try of
this, erm, stuff.

Oh, there's lumps in it.
Lovely, babes.

It's fine. Just don't breathe in
and it's fine.

Don't breathe in. Don't breathe in.

I think Rossi is feeling pretty
rough this morning.

To be fair, he did look like he put
down that gruel pretty well

so I think he might do really
well here,

especially as he, Rossi is new,
he might want to prove himself.

I can't face that this morning.

Honestly, I'm dreading it, I'm so...

Is this your first time?
I'm so hungry.

And how is it?
It's like, it don't taste good.

It's OK. It's OK.

Ugh.

HE RETCHES
Do they call it scurvy...?

I'm a builder.

I can't remember the last time that
I went this long

without eating
a substantial amount of food.

HE VOMITS

I don't get up on the outside
and go to work on an empty stomach.

HE VOMITS

I haven't heard gagging like that
in a long time.

I'm not eating that any more.

I wouldn't feed it to my dog.

Never again. Never, ever again
am I eating that shit.

Attention, please.

Second work shift
will begin shortly.

Today, you will be working as food
testers on a production line.

Yes!

Oh, my God! Food testers!
We're eating. Good!

Jack, it's going to be really
bad food. Jack... I don't care.

Don't sit opposite me,
your gag reflex...

Oh, fuck. It's gonna be gag central,
that's what it's gonna be.

Don't sit next to Jack. Shit.

I'm hoping that there's some nice
delicacies on board.

Who knows, though?
I don't think there will be!

I'm so excited. I'm hungry anyway,
so I'll even eat

fucking, like, rotted bread or
something like that. Don't say that.

I want to be the next Ruler.
I feel like it's my time.

I'm going into this work shift

ready to prove to
the Rulers that I can lead

and if the team is falling
or struggling,

I'm gonna absolutely smash it and
get the money for everybody else.

Attention, please.

Fuck off.

Tonight, one Ruler will be
eliminated from the game.

Oh, my gosh.

As Marina is a new Ruler,

she is immune from elimination,
but can still vote.

Oh, shit. Someone's going home.

What a fucking start to the day,
can I just say.

All Rulers report to
the red room immediately.

Oh, it's my first time going
to the red room!

This is your first work day, baby.

I'm really excited to push
the Grafters today

because I know that's exactly
what they want

because they want to build up
the prize fund.

I feel like my time now is
the ideal time for me to go up.

Attention, please.

All Grafters report to
the work space.

Yes! Woohoo!

So this is my first work shift
and I'm feeling a bit apprehensive.

Where are we going now?

We're going to the work room.
First day on the job.

It feels like I've
been taken hostage

and, like, it's a bit scary,
but I'm up for it.

I'm actually going to throw up,
I'm so scared.

Don't throw up just yet -
plenty of time for that soon.

Now, the Grafters are set for work,

the Rulers are set to rule.
What's missing?

Oh, yeah, me.

Do you like my slow-mo walk?
Dramatic, isn't it?

Rulers, hello. Hi! Hello. Hello!

It's all changed.
I can't keep up.

Ramona's gone, Marina's here.
How are you feeling?

Great. Ready for the job.

Shall we get down to business? Yes.

Yes. Your primary purpose is
to increase that prize fund.

It currently stands at £7,600.
Pretty decent.

Yeah. Yeah.

Shall we find out,
what work they're doing today?

Yeah.

Oh, my God.

That looks awful!

Oh, my God.

Today, the Grafters are working as
food testers.

Pet food testers,
to be more accurate.

Fuck.

Oh, no.

You currently have £7,600
in the prize fund.

Rulers, your decision today
is how many different plates

of pet food are you
going to make them eat?

A plate of delicious dog or cat food
will pass along the conveyor belt,

and all our Grafters need to do is
eat the entire contents

before it reaches the end.

They will each only be able to eat
the pet food

when it's in front of them.

Once it's passed by,

it falls to the next Grafter
to pick up the baton.

There are five plates

and up to £25,000 available
to add to the prize fund.

£25,000!

But if they don't finish everything
you set for them,

they will lose everything from
today's work shift.

For medical reasons,
Sydney's sitting this one out.

How many plates they eat
is up to the Rulers.

They are completely in charge.

Are you going to go for
the big money today?

Are you going to try and get
the £25,000 that's on offer?

Absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely, yeah.

The shifts will increase in value,

but so will the portion sizes,
as well.

It's gonna be brutal.

I think if there's one challenge
we can push them on,

it's this, because, you know,

it's not to do with strength.
Everyone can do this.

Yeah. You know that. Mentally,
they're all so strong,

they're 100% gonna push through
and do this

and we are gonna challenge them.
You know them best, don't you?

Yeah, we're gonna challenge...
Because you've been down there.

We're gonna challenge them
and they're gonna smash it.

I also know they're hungry, so...!

Let's come up with a strategy of
where we place people. James.

I'm... I'm going to be
the strongest, definitely.

Come down here then.
Yeah, that's fine.

I'm seeing this work shift
as my time to shine,

as my time to show who I am.
I'm keeping the morale up.

I'm showing my leadership.

I'm so ready to leave the basement.

And you can handle whatever's coming
at you, yeah?

Unequivocally? Absolutely.

You'll chow that down?
I'll eat whatever I've got to.

First on the menu today,
we have delicious dog biscuits.

Rulers, if you're happy for the
Grafters to attempt the first plate,

please all press your buttons.

That's six yeses.

Yes. Yes! Let's go dog biscuits.

The work shift begins
in three, two, one.

Oh, oh, we've got dog biscuits.

Ah, fucking sweet.
They're really dry.

Lube your mouth up
as it's coming in, yeah?

They were the driest thing
I think I've ever eaten.

They just wouldn't go down.

Are they all right, yeah?
Ryvita, bruv, Ryvita.

Well done.

Come on, you can do it.
Little bit of spit.

HE GAGS

Will he hold that down?

Yeah, he will.

What is that?!

HE GAGS SOME MORE

First plate cleared.

Well, Rulers, the Grafters
breezed through their first plate.

That is £1,000 earned
for the prize fund.

Amazing. I knew they would.

Well done.
Right, we've got it.

That was better than the shit
in the basement, 100%.

Would you like to add another £2,000
to the prize fund,

but this time it's lovely
vegetarian dog food?

They can easily do plate two.
Yeah. Easily. Yeah. Easily.

Do we all agree on that decision?
Yes. Absolutely.

New plate added worth £2,000.

Double. Double. Doubled again.

Oh, it's coming, it's coming.

What is it?
Vegetarian dog food.

They're that eager,
they're waiting for it.

It's pretty rancid.

Yes, Eddy, let's go.

You can do it, you can do it.

Hold it down, come on, hold it down.
Hold it down.

Hold it down, team.

Guys, you're going to have to eat
a little bit more.

Guys, please eat more.

Go on, Sophie.
Come on, Soph. Come on.

Connor, Connor. Come on, do it.
Come on, You can do this.

HE GAGS

Don't be a pussy. Come on.

Yes, Connor!
That's good, that's good. Come on.

I've just got the worst gag reflex,

and I see someone else gag,
and I'm going...

HE GAGS

Yes, down the hatch.

Get in there!

CHEERING

Yes! All right, team.

Second plate cleared.

Current earnings, £3,000.

It's all right, guys, good work.

So, two plates done.

£3,000 earned.

The next plate is cat food.

Oh.
Oh!

Would you like to know the flavour?

It's herring and seaweed,
my favourite.

If they complete plate number three,

that will be another £5,000
added to the prize fund.

So, Rulers,
do you want them to do another?

They did that easily.

Yeah.
Easily.

I don't think we need to
be concerned,

because ultimately,
they do want to be pushed.

So would you go for a third round?
Absolutely.

Having been a Grafter,
I have that knowledge,

and the Rulers have been
making decisions based off

not knowing what it's like
to be down there.

They haven't experienced
what I've experienced.

Yeah, let's go for it.
Absolutely. Yeah. Cool.

New plate added, worth £5,000.

What the fuck is that?
It looks like brains.

HE GAGS

Herring! Herring cat food.
Look at the size of it!

Look at Joanna, look at her.

Keep it down, keep it down.

Well done.

I'm a really fussy eater,
like to the point where

I don't even eat cheese sandwiches.

I've also got a phobia
of throwing up a lot,

so a bit of a double whammy
for me today.

Come on. Come on, come on.

Keep it down.
Connor! Connor!

Connor, don't you dare!
Swallow it. Swallow it.

Oh, my God!

Get it down you!

Come on, James. James, focus.
Focus, James. Go on.

Yes, boys. Well done.
Well done, Connor.

Third plate cleared.
Current earnings £8,000.

Yeah! Yes!
Well done.

CHEERING

THEY GAG

We've got £8,000. Come on.

HE GAGS

What spoons were you using?

Some people are going to have
to start using tablespoons.

Sophie, can I just say?

I think you really
want to show yourself in this shift,

I think you really
need to help us out.

I don't really think
that's a good thing to do.

Whenever I'm struggling,
you're just trying to...

You've got to be...
You're chatting rubbish,

let me just tell you, because the
thing is that you know, like,

you guys have been on me all week,
saying,

"You're not eating this,
you're not eating that,"

so don't start singling people out
while they're doing it.

That's shit leadership.
Do you know what?

Good leaders generally ask for help,

and I'm asking for help
off the rest of the team.

Listen, don't start arguing
with each other,

It fucking is what it is.
We've done it. Let's move on.

Well, Rulers, congratulations.

That means you've earned a total
of £8,000 so far.

Yes!

But will you go for a fourth plate?

Plate number four is
lamb and liver dog food in jelly.

Oh!
Mm, I love jelly.

This delicious dish
is worth £7,000.

This is what this work shift
is all about.

Yeah.
And I know they can do it.

What we need to bear in mind
is this, right?

On day one, we banked,
I think it was £6,000.

Today already,
we've gone beyond that, OK?

I understand that
they want to be pushed.

Let's not get carried away
by just pushing them.

Let's look at everything
from a different perspective

and look at the full spectrum.

I really do think they can do it,
and I know how much positivity

and the energy there will be
if they win 15K.

Yeah. Yeah, absolutely, yeah.
I'll go with that.

I'm going to go with that
because you know them first hand.

Yeah. Go for it.
Yes!

New plate added.
Oh!

Worth £7,000.

So that takes it to...
I can't do maths. 15.

That's the one.

Right, OK. Oh, my God, it stinks.
It's a biggie.

It's sloppy, and it's lamb
and liver in jelly.

Lamb... Liver's really good for you.

This is going to inform us
for plate five.

Yeah, just observe how they are.

Go on!

Let's go! Whoo!

That was just foul.
Categorically disgusting.

That's the worst thing
I've ever eaten in my life.

Oh, amazing, Eddy, yes, yes.
Get in. Come on, get it in.

HE GAGS

Yes, well done, well done, Sophie,
that's amazing, that's amazing.

Absolutely disgusting.
It smells like my dog's breath,

which is rank. It's just rank.

Come on, Connor, get it in,
get it in. Yes. Yes. Yes.

HE GAGS

Come on, come on. There's still
quite a bit left there, isn't there?

Oh, my God, come on.
Still quite a bit left.

THEY GAG

Come on, team. Go on!

Eat, eat.

Oh, he's being sick.

I have barely eaten
anything for days anyway,

and what I did eat has now descended
all over my shoes and trousers.

Go on. Come on. Yeah!

He's done it.
Yes! I'm so proud of them. Ah!

Well done, Rulers. You earned
yourself another £7,000

to the prize fund, taking that
to £15,000 earned so far today.

Who wants to go for
the big money?

The final course, plate number five,

is beef chunks in gravy
for large dogs.

If they manage to eat it all down,
they'll have added another £10,000

to the prize fund.

By what I've just seen at
the end there, they did struggle.

I agree.
There's £15,000 in the pot there.

I think we're pushing it
to the fifth one.

For me, I completely agree with you
and I'm on the same page.

I think there's a difference between
being risky and being reckless.

Yeah, I don't think we
need to push any further.

Do we all agree on that?
Yeah. Yeah, of course.

So let's just get clarification -
you're ending the work shift here?

Yes. Yes, end of the work shift.
They can clock off and celebrate.

Work shift ended.

Yes!

£15,000. Come on, team.

Yes. Good decision,
good decision.

Well done, babes.

You know, it's still, like, so
surreal, walking in every time.

The most vocal in
the red room was Marina,

and I think that's the right way cos
she had the experience of being

a grafter, you know,
we haven't had that.

I was really impressed by how well
we all worked together as a team.

Marina was extremely vocal.

I really just took a back seat
because I really wanted

to see how other Rulers
respond to her.

Sometimes it does take time
for that to gel,

and for that to kind of all work,

and especially there has been
a big shift up here, you know?

Yeah.
Yeah.

And clearly,
clearly their reaction was,

"Yes, Marina, I believe you,
yes, Marina, I trust you

"Yes, Marina," like, my goodness,

you can tell like they've lost
their own voices

and their own power,
almost like in submission.

Oh, we're done, we're done.
Another day, another dollar.

That without doubt
was one of the worst things

I think I've ever done in my life.

I can taste it now in my mouth.
It's fucking grim.

Come on, 15 grand.

So, I would think after watching us
do that and gag

and being sick and shit,

100% they should be giving us all
a treat today.

Absolutely.
100%.

While the Grafters are hoping
the Rulers throw them a bone,

Rishika and Rachel are chewing over
tonight's elimination.

What are you thinking?

If you're not
adding something new

and adding something fresh,
people will not see you as an asset.

That's it, yeah, yeah.

I feel like the only person that
I could actually vote for

is Cheryl because she came for me
and I'm close to everyone else.

She doesn't use strategy
with her approach.

I feel like she goes with
a lot of just emotion.

If you, me, and Prince vote for
Cheryl, and Matt doesn't,

it looks like we were
banding together.

It easily looks like that. Tonight,
when we make our votes,

we need to make sure we're making
them without looking like it was,

like a unit.
As a group, yeah.

So the way that we make our points,

we need to make sure that
it looks personal.

Yeah, so this is,
it's basically keratin,

and keratin is really good
for your hair.

So it's pretty, pretty good.

Sorry, girls.

For me, I feel like,
it's time for Cheryl to maybe go.

We're here to play the game,
we're here to rule,

we're here to manage the prize fund,

and we can't do that with a heavy
heart or a wandering mind.

For me, it is Cheryl's night.

It just has to be done.

It's a bit chilly on the roof,

but Marina's found someone
to cosy up to.

Let's snuggle.
I'm going to grab that as well.

I think you and I are, like,
very much on the same page.

I'm very much on the same page
at the moment, Marina,

and I think you wear your heart
on your sleeve.

Yeah, I do, and I'll say it to you
how it is,

and I'll say it in there
how it is.

And I like that.
You're only an 18-year-old girl...

Kid, kid, I should say sorry, I
didn't mean to disrespect you

like that. I don't think that...
An 18-year-old woman.

I really appreciate
how welcoming you have been as well.

You've just made it really easy
for me,

and provided that emotional support,

and it's really nice
to have someone who's proud of me.

I do trust you, you know, Marina.
And I trust you.

What's the odds of, like, me coming
across anybody like you

in the real world?

Getting by in life for me
is being real.

I've never had power.

I've always worked
for somebody else.

I've never been given an opportunity
to go that one step further.

I believe beautiful things happen

when you start believing
in yourself.

It's my time. This is my time.

Can I join you? Is that OK?
Yeah. How are you both?

Yeah, we're good,
we're just talking about tonight.

How are you feeling about tonight?

What I've noticed is that
I felt Prince and Rachel

weren't very active
in the conversation.

I've noticed a change
in Prince's behaviour today.

I like him and he is lovely,

but him and Rachel are
providing the least.

This isn't a personal vote,

this is based off who is
going to be the best ruler

and who's going to be
the best part of this team.

Who?
You.

You are very, very sharp,
you're really, really strong minded,

and so is Marina.

I'm really looking forward
to tonight in the red room.

I really want to see people crack
because you know why?

People will crack.

Do you know what? I feel like me,
Prince, and Rishika

have an alliance.
It leaves me strong

in a sense that I can trust
my alliance,

but at the same time,
it can go either way,

because anyone can change
at any moment.

PRINCE WHISTLES

Huh? Who's that?

My greatest allies up here in
the penthouse

at the moment are definitely
Rishika and Rachel,

It's just like the perfect trio
to rule.

Yeah! Too weak, too weak, too weak.

This vote is playing on
everyone's mind right now.

With Marina, I'm a bit cautious.

We don't know who's going,
we don't know what's happening,

first grafter from the basement up,

one of the original rulers gone,

and that is the reality
of the situation.

The fall vote is looming like
an iceberg,

and our very own Jack and Rose are
already chatting about

who could rise next.

Let's say you go up
and you're in the room with Rishika

and Rachel - what's your plan there?

To stick it on both of them
hard. Boof! Yeah, fact.

Nah, I'd target Rishika first,

purely I think she's really strong,

but then Rachel,
I think once I get her,

then I'll... It'll be a power
couple sort of vibe.

So then would you want to get
Rishika to vote Rachel out?

Yeah.

And that's one out,
then I bring one up.

And then me and you vote
Rishika out. Right, OK.

That's how it's got to be.
Yeah.

Jack is very funny,
and he speaks all the time,

but he actually is quite hard
to read.

I have no idea what his intentions
are, to be honest.

I have trust issues, like I'm not
too sure if another girl came in

right now, if he would sway,
but, yeah, we'll see.

Give us a kiss.

You wouldn't dare now.

Not now,
cos you've asked me to do it!

This all looks delicious.

Wow!
Oh!

That looks yummy.

Oh, this is an absolute spread,
isn't it? Oh!

I know this is really cheesy
to say,

but need to appreciate
all this food.

Oh, absolutely. You know, they've
been eating pet food today and we're
kind of...

Yeah, 100%. You know, I don't know.
But you also earned it. I know, I
know.

But it's obviously
still in the back of my mind,

I think survivor's guilt almost.

Attention. Oh, my gosh.

Would one Ruler read from the
tablet?

Rulers can reward
individual grafters

for their performance during
the work shift.

Rewards are extra food

and drink that will give Grafters a
taste of life in

the penthouse.

Each reward given will deduct £100
from the prize fund.

One Ruler must deliver this decision
via televised address.

When I was a Grafter we all said
that actually

we would have been fine with about
four or five trays,

because we can all split things up

and everyone really wants that
money.

But how do we decide which five
to choose? Exactly.

Handing out a select few is too
much of

a risk in terms of splitting
the group.

But, you know, I've been a Grafter.

None of you have, you know.

They want the prize fund
to be as much as possible.

This challenge took
a lot from them physically

and mentally and food is important,

and if they don't have the energy
for it,

they don't perform, then they're not
going to make the money, and on top

of that once you're hungry, you're
hungry, your mind starts going,

your body starts going,
it affects everything.

I'm going off the conversations that
I've had,

you know, real conversations
with real people.

It's only £900.

We still have over £20,000, that's
how I'm looking at it.

I'm not ruling out this decision.

OK. We need to take risks as
leaders,

but at a time where it makes
more sense.

It's not just me calling the shots,
at the end of the day up here,

it's not a dictatorship up here,
you know, we're working as a team.

Can I deliver the address?

Yeah, I'm happy for you to give
the address,

because I think I probably made more
of the decision earlier on today.

I'm pleased you're doing it,

cos I could tell in your eyes how
much it would mean to you

to go and do it, so I don't
want to set you off.

Well done, Matt. Why do you have to
say that? Why do you do this?

Just let it out. Don't be ashamed.

So annoying.

Rishika, you know you're good.

At what? At being a person?

You know,
you know what I'm talking about,

I don't need to explain it
to you, you're a clever girl.

What?

Where I've grown up and the people

and the way I talk
with my friends, I always like,

"Yeah, you're good, you're good, as
in you're a good person, you know,

"you've got a good heart,"

I think that came across as

I was saying, "You're good, as in
you've got a game plan,"

that's what she thought
I was meaning which was,

couldn't be further from the truth.

I mean, you're a clever girl,
you know you're good,

like, that, look at you in that
conversation you were, like, look,

like, it's really impressive.

Thank you.

I've got my eyes on Marina like
a flipping hawk.

I think Marina said what she said at
the dinner table

because she thinks I have
a game plan,

Only someone with a game plan can
recognise

or think they recognise
that someone has a game plan.

Attention, please.

Oh, the TV, the TV. Shush.

Hey, Grafters.

We've decided to reward you all

for your performance in today's
work shift.

It was physically gruelling, so we

want to make sure you're all fuelled
up for whatever's

to come tomorrow, so enjoy
and see you soon.

She's quite fit.

Great. Did you expect that?
I expected that, I thought...

Yes. I thought...

Do you think anyone might
have been opposed

to giving all of us a treat? No.

I reckon Marina must have been,

cos what she's been saying the last
couple of days, she was very
confident on the whole,

"Yeah, we could probably split them,
so we only get four...

Yeah, so maybe Marina did try
and cut it down a bit.

Oh. What is it?

Oh, my God, it's cheesecake!

There's cheeses. Crisps! Wine!

The rewards arrived
and it just looks delicious.

Lamb, tomato mozzarella,
cheesecake and a potato fon,

fondant, I don't know what it is,
is it a hash brown?

But it looks delicious.

I feel like we've really earned
this.

Yeah, I think we could have done

with another bottle of wine
because of that.

Yes, I completely agree,
maybe a bigger bottle too.

You just think this is probably what
they eat every single day.

For the sake of taking 80 grand home
at the end...

Yeah. ..but having
an easier time eating in here.

Yeah. ..I'd do it every day of
the week.

Yeah, I think...
Every day of the week, mate.

I need to get up to that penthouse,

if they've got that kind
of food on tap,

that's what I'm wanting,

I don't want to be stuck in
the basement for too long

and keep eating that broth,
no way.

It's just not me, babes.

With the prize pot now sitting at
a whooping £22,600,

the Rulers really are on a high.

Nothing can bring them down.

I think they'll, I think they'll
really appreciate it, because, like,

because of how much money we,
that we earned today.

Yeah. It was a different type
of work shift,

so I hope, obviously, and they're
not stupid, they're smart people.

Attention, please.

All Rulers report to
the Red Room immediately.

Liquid courage.

Tonight's Red Room is
going to be intense,

there's a big decision at hand.

There are so many scenarios,
so many possibilities,

so much that can happen,
it is scary.

At this stage I don't trust anyone,
because I can feel

the eyes burning at
the back of me head.

I'm going to actually put all
the cards on the table,

there are Rulers who are acting
and speaking like followers.

Attention, Grafters.

Oh, my God, they're there, look.

Rulers, only the strongest among
you can survive.

You must now vote for one Ruler
to lose their power.

CRACKS KNUCKLES

As Marina is a new Ruler, she is
immune from elimination

but can still vote.

It's such an odd place for us
to be right now after such

a successful work shift, where we
all worked together

and effectively managed
for, I think, the very first time

and the biggest reason
for that was bringing in Marina.

But we do have to make a decision

and it's only
going to get harder, we know that.

I think we all know that whatever
happens tonight it's not based off

personal reasons.

I've only just arrived,

but I've been looking at what skills
each one

of you have.

Matt, I feel, has
a set of skills which I don't have.

It allows me to look at things from
a different angle

and I think that's really,
really valuable.

Rishika, I enjoy how you challenge
me

and it's going to make us make
bigger and better decisions.

And whose team is Marina on?
Rishika's.

She's gone to the dark side.
She's gone, told ya.

I think today in the Red Room,

within the squeezing oranges,

over time, Rachel did lower the bar
for the Grafters.

I do disagree with the fact that you
feel that I didn't contribute more,

and, not to throw Cheryl under
the bus,

but I do feel like I did contribute
more than Cheryl.

You said yourself you wanted
to push them further,

so you wasn't confident just as much
as what you think I wasn't
confident.

But that was a learning curve.

We left this Red Room
and we went back to that penthouse

and we remained, you know,

as Rulers and that's what it
should be.

At the end of the day we've got
to make decisions

and we're all in this room,

this room right now, we're fighting
for our place

and I think I deserve my place.

I deserve my place on
the basis, I walked into the lift,

I took the decision to walk in
to the lift, to go to

the penthouse, cos I deserve
the place in the penthouse,

I've worked hard all my life, right

and that's the decision I made cos
I had the confidence to do that.

Most people here, including myself,

have been through
things unimaginable,

and I can speak for myself,
but I'm here for a different reason.

I'm not here to, to use,
to use a sob story

to manipulate people
to feel sorry for me. Sob story?

Yeah. Cheryl, you easily
lose composure

and that's a sign of weakness. OK.

He's a patronising prick.

We've all come in here to play
a game.

Yeah? Me and Prince do not get on,

right... Holy shit. I'm not being
personal, I'm just getting, you
know, me point across.

Just fucking can't stand you.

I'm sitting here and I'm seeing so
many reasons why

a lot of people aren't
effective leaders. That's fine.

Like, we're here to do something
here

and we're steering off that every
chance we get, like, what are we
doing?

If you feel like you have to get
personal, do it respectfully and do
it with points.

Rishika is so fake.
No, I love her, man. Fancy her.

We're not getting anywhere
and one of the things that we wanted

to do when we walked in here was act
with integrity

and be respectful.

That's been very quickly forgotten.

Usually I make decisions with,
with my heart.

He's a proper wet lettuce, innit?
He's awful.

You know, I'm an emotional person,

I've never apologised for that,
and that's who I am,

but I need to try to continue
to make decisions with my head.

That's what I'm going to do tonight

and I think it would be
a huge mistake to lose Cheryl,

not just for us, but for the
Grafters who do adore her as well.

Thank you. Cos I am for
the Grafters too, I've got

a lot of compassion, but I've also
got that fight in me to make
decisions.

I think we just need to vote,

because I think this is
a done conversation,

everyone's said what they
need to say and we need to move on.

Marina's pissing me off, bruv.
It's like she's in charge. I know.

Was she like that down here?
Yeah. No, no, thanks.

Rulers, you must now vote
for who should be eliminated.

I feel like the right thing
to do would be for Cheryl

to go, but we just don't know what
Marina's going to do,

so, you know, it could go either
way.

I came in to this without
a game plan, without a strategy,

but actually strategy is
going to have to come in to it,

so I am prepared
to strategically vote.

Prince voted for...

..Cheryl.

The reason I actually voted
for Cheryl

is, Cheryl, where there's
no decision-making...

And for me that just doesn't speak
highly of somebody who is a Ruler.

Thank you, Prince.

Cheryl voted for Prince.

I feel he hasn't bought nothing
to the table

and I'm very good at spotting
behaviours, I've seen it all before.

Rishika voted for...

..Cheryl.

We're here to lead
and make decisions whether you agree

with someone or you disagree
with someone,

when we're only going to have
to communicate more

and more as these shifts get harder,

and I need to make sure that
the skills we have here as

a collective complement each other

and are based on what we're here
to do,

that's why I voted for Cheryl.

Marina voted for...

..Prince.

I personally believe, you, you were
one of

the least active in
the conversation in the Red Room

and I felt, feel like a skill that
we need is being decisive,

and I felt like we were missing that
from you.

Rachel voted for...

..Cheryl.

So, I voted for Cheryl

because I don't feel like today she
was contributing enough,

so I kind of feel like she needs
to speak up a little bit more.

Matt voted for...

..Prince.

I voted for you, Prince,
because when you're delivering

a message or communicating it needs
to be clear, short and concise.

I think that's an essential skill
to be a good Ruler.

Cheryl and Prince have received
three votes each.

Marina, as the new Ruler,

you will decide who
will be eliminated.

Next time on Rise and Fall...

TV's on.

Today is your chance to request
something from your Rulers.

We're not very impressed with
the way that you're behaving.

We're the Rulers and this is our
room, yo can now leave.

Dickhead.

You know why they keep talking,
it's because they're covering their
fucking tracks. Really? Yeah.

Fuck. You shouldn't be testing your
fellow Rulers.

Can you allow people to finish?
Stop. This is so stupid.

The Rise vote will
take place tonight.

We will be taking over
the penthouse.
