Survive 30 Days Trapped In The Sky, Win $250,000

[00:00] I just trapped these two strangers 100 ft in the air, and if they can survive up here for 30 days straight, Go ahead and say hi to each other.

[00:13] Are either of you afraid of heights? My heart is, like, beating right now. I think this goes without saying: if you fall, obviously you lose.

[00:25] I’ll be thinking about that every day. for the next 30 days.

[00:37] You need to chill. You're putting me on edge. We've really tried our hardest to find two people that are complete opposites. I'm the heavy equipment operator-- technically, demolition.

[00:54] And Angus is the star of the most popular UK TV series. You just date for a living? but it'll be ok.

[01:06] Will these polar opposites be able to survive all 30 days? Burn my tent?

[01:18] I don't know about you, but I think I'm ready to set up the tent, Aw, it’s so tiny in here. Much tougher than they're imagining, because…

[01:31] if one of them leaves, the video doesn’t end. the person who stays keeps it all to themselves. They are quite literally incentivized to have their partner leave.

[01:47] When you live in the sky, you’re exposed to the elements 24/7. Oh, we are swinging.

[01:59] Imagine if I just pushed you now. I would be pissed. I'mma say that right now. Oh, yeah.

[02:13] It was raining, so now everything's wet. Alison is adapting quickly. Chicken burrito bowl. Pretty excited about that.

[02:28] I'm struggling with the tent. It may look very cozy here, but it's not. Oh my God!

[02:41] The wind is fully in my tent now. This is lovely. I'm scared that it's just gonna rain straight for, like, 24 hours.

[02:55] It is the middle of the night. It's still raining. because he hates his tent. I was about to throw myself off this platform.

[03:09] 'cause everything else is open and exposed. She's on the toilet. I'm standing guard.

[03:22] that I've actually had to shield my eyes from the sun, It's been rough, man. We woke up wet one day, and we've been hiding in the portaloo.

[03:37] I like ‘em. It’s damp. Very, very cold. Yes!

[03:50] No. I’d love a new tent. Alright, stop! 25 ft away are two brand-new, luxurious tents

[04:05] There's pillows! -Ok, I change my mind. I like it. -What do you think of it? you'll notice that they're elevated off the ground.

[04:19] They have pillows, they have blankets, They do look nice. And if you look above the tents, you'll notice two targets.

[04:33] You both have to hit your target one time. But if only one of you misses your target, not only do you lose the tents,

[04:46] effectively destroying a quarter of your entire world. This entire glass floor right here will be gone if either one of you can't hit your target,

[05:00] -I’m locked in! I’m locked in. -Lock in! Closer to 6'2", but you know… After the first one, I'll know if I got it or not.

[05:15] If both of you miss, you might as well just jump off the ledge, There's, like, no wind in here, by the way. Alright. I'm gonna hit it, then.

[05:28] Alright, go for it. I'm chilling. I don't know why I'm waiting.

[05:40] First throw! After that, there's so much pressure. You have three opportunities now.

[05:53] Alright. Can he do it first try? Alison, I'm sorry-- If I don't get it, I'm sorry. Come on, gas me up!

[06:07] there would've only been one target… You got one ball left!

[06:19] Wait, before you throw, I need you to give him a pep talk. we're both gonna be sleeping in these tents, This part of the floor shrinks-- is gone!

[06:34] Where you are right now, you'd be falling. Hey, this is the difference between you making it 30 days [Nolan] Dude, this platform is swaying like crazy.

[06:50] Ok. Oh my gosh, you missed! That is heartbreaking, bro.

[07:03] Oh, no. You're gonna wish you played a little more baseball. Hey, Chandler and Nolan, go and push it off.

[07:18] [Angus] Oh, no. They still look cozy, even down there, man.

[07:30] Ah. Here goes the first tile. Let's keep going.

[07:45] [Alison] Dang… Yeah. Don't screw up Day 10 for us. Angus and Alison instantly noticed the consequences of a smaller platform.

[08:02] Gotta be on my A-game right when I wake up. I don't need to have a nightmare about the game Angus was clearly mad at himself for losing the challenge.

[08:18] This is what every hero does when they fail. Like, then they go into a state of quiet reflection and depression. Huh.

[08:31] I don't even know if we'll have another chance at shelter again. And that's why losing platform is such a big deal, We can't afford to lose anymore!

[08:47] They had to deal with things like bugs… [screams] That chicken I just ate, that was cat food.

[09:00] despite coming from very different backgrounds. Grew up around it, and it just never did anything for me. You'd say money doesn't buy happiness or whatever.

[09:16] So you might be viewing it differently 'cause you've already had money. I would take the money home to start up a company with my brother. After hearing how dismissive Angus was about the money,

[09:33] She deserved all of it. Yeah, it's an emotional one. Nobody in the 30-day or 100-day challenge has came in here

[09:49] So I told myself, I'm gonna do that. Sometimes it's like we actually forget how many days we've been up here.

[10:01] Day #8. We should play catch.

[10:14] You were telling me how athletic you are… But their improved mood didn’t last long. Gotta love it.

[10:27] I'm standing in the sun. Waiting for it to get warm. But the weather wasn't their only problem. I can't wait till we can eat normal food.

[10:41] Yeah, not bad, man. Now, we have a button. Oh, like, if you press this, I'll give you money to quit?

[10:55] Send it up! Across from you, all the food you need for the next 30 days And the only thing stopping you two from getting it

[11:10] You see, in random intervals over the next 24 hours, And you must press this red button But if you fail to press the button, the platform will instantly fall,

[11:27] Ah, man… If you lose, you'll also lose a part of your floor. Surely, with this game, he's not gonna screw it up.

[11:39] But do you trust him? Because he's shown he can fail you. Bye! [laughing]

[11:52] Redemption time. Lock in. Go. Well, then you need to let it get low

[12:07] The hour, then it might drop again. [Alison] Back up, up, up it goes! Oh, yeah. I'm gonna eat so much pie.

[12:20] [Angus] This is literally a entire day and night challenge. This terrible MRE… I wish I had that food. The hardest part of this challenge is the saw could fall at any minute.

[12:32] Think about it. In less than 20 hours, we can have hot coffee. Angus! Angus! But eventually, they had to take turns to sleep.

[12:47] trusting that Angus could keep an eye on the button So, we don't want it to get much lower than this… Without Alison nearby to keep him on track,

[13:03] And then, eventually, downright careless.

[13:31] [sighs] I'm so sorry. The next thing I know, I just hear the sawing sound.

[13:43] Like, we can't do anything about it now. I don't even know what happened. Like, my eyes just glazed over. Losing the food isn't your only consequence.

[14:00] Oh, God. No! As you should be.

[14:12] Have fun. The loss of the Day 10 challenge was really hitting Angus hard. I don't know how many more times I can mess up up here.

[14:25] I feel I’m gonna go. Angus keeps talking about how he is gonna quit. I am honestly a little bit worried

[14:38] makes the time go by so much faster. I think it's going to make the challenge way harder. But by the next night, Angus seemed to have his mind made up.

[14:51] I think it's likely that I'm probably gonna go tomorrow. and I don't wanna, every challenge day, be a risk of letting you down.

[15:03] It's human mistakes. It's easier just to stay. on Day 13, I decided to give them a little surprise.

[15:18] That food would've made a big difference in morale. Well, we got a surprise for you. But since you're in the sky, we needed to call in a little air support.

[15:32] And you're getting Jack Link's. Lowering the beef sticks! - I'm so glad I didn't leave this morning. -Yeah, what?

[15:44] Oh, thank you very much. Alright, trying to get meat sticks from a floating plane. Alright, we got it.

[15:59] [Angus] Of all days, I needed this. Yes? Angus, does this make you feel better for losing the other food?

[16:15] This is way better. And it comes in four flavors: Original, Teriyaki, Turkey and Zero Sugar. [Karl] Enjoy!

[16:28] And if you want to try the best beef sticks in the world, We can't wait for you to try 'em. I think eating something other than another MRE worked

[16:41] because on Day 14, Angus woke up in a much better headspace. I woke up and was like, "Oh, it's a new day." what a weird, crazy experience and, like, opportunity we have up here.

[16:54] Challenge day coming up. We've gotta stay locked in. We are here and we're not leaving.

[17:06] Obviously, it was a rough couple of days post-saw incident. Angus! -Yes. -Let's do it.

[17:21] We've built this 30 ft balance beam 100 ft over the ground. And all one of you has to do is walk across, touch the other platform, And before one of you go, reveal what they're competing for!

[17:37] The same tent that you cost her, and some of the food you lost on Day 10. What if one of us goes and falls?

[17:51] -Oh. -Oh! So, now you have to decide, who is going across the balance beam? With this one, I feel like I can get across.

[18:03] And there's, like, a reputation on the line. Also, if he falls, you'll lose another section of platform. You are risking a quarter of $1 million

[18:19] -You got it. -Whenever you’re ready. Here, can you step up? Boys, can you help me? You can drop yours and I’ll drop mine.

[18:34] Angus! Oh my God. Yep. You said that last time.

[18:47] Oh! Oh my God. This is so hard. Oh! [Nolan] Imagine you’re a bird.

[19:00] You might see Angus flying in a second. [Jimmy] Take your time. No rush. You're doing great. He's doing great.

[19:14] [Jimmy] Look how much his legs are shaking. It's almost like he's suspended 150 ft in the air. Stabilize.

[19:28] [Jimmy] Oh! No! Allison. I'm sorry.

[19:42] -I'm Alison. -Angus. Angus’s time in the sky is over. I'm angry that I couldn't make it across.

[19:57] Well, should we just throw Angus's tent off? Even though it was starting to feel like maybe it's my time to go. It's like…

[20:09] You know, I hate that tent, but that still really hurts to see that. Oh, man! Uh, not much to look at.

[20:23] Yep. You gave us a great opportunity and we failed. Surely, Day 20 will go better.

[20:38] If she doesn't fall. It's the first day without Angus, and it's already super weird.

[20:51] I have nobody to talk to up here. Yeah, it's just gonna be a really long 15 days. As you can tell, this platform is extremely small now.

[21:06] Your red box has got to go. Goodbye, Angus. Better to be in here than miserable out there.

[21:20] It's brutal. This wind is awful. But Alison woke up with a new problem. whoever I got put up here with was gonna leave!

[21:34] So, Alison tried to distract herself. Probably thinking, "Dang, she's already going insane without Angus." I think it's time we do some remodeling.

[21:47] It honestly feels like I've lived up here forever. that she literally started talking to, well, anything. It's just like Angus, but a little cooler.

[22:03] Angus, are you gonna sit there and just watch or are you gonna help? but it's better than being alone. "Oh my, challenge day is in one day."

[22:18] Like, I'm not just viewing that as chump change, like, Losing floor is definitely a fear. It might be pushing me to my edge.

[22:30] [Jimmy] Which is exactly what I had in mind. It's Day 20, and you've been alone for five days. Yeah, so if Angus were here, it would definitely be not enough space.

[22:45] How about instead of that, I like that. This platform is covered with hundreds of 6 inch long, razor sharp spikes.

[23:01] And every day, a balloon is gonna go up towards those spikes But if you miss and the balloon is popped by the spikes, -Release the balloons! -[screams]

[23:14] [Karl] There it is!

[23:29] Yo, what a shot. [laughing] Are you Katniss Everdeen?

[23:41] Yeah. Just don't drop them or else that’d be bad. Low-key had nightmares last night about this balloon. I feel like this is the hardest challenge we've had to face up here.

[23:57] You constantly have to be on your toes. You constantly have to be looking to see when the balloon is gonna rise. Ok, ok.

[24:16] I can’t handle this stress. is that the timing of these balloons isn't random. It's specifically linked to when she’ll least expect it.

[24:32] Missed my first balloon I ended up going with the back corner over there by the yellow box. No, it's literally, like, I need floor

[24:47] It's kind of life or death. Yeah, come take my floor. Oh, shoot.

[24:59] Continued to threaten Alison's living conditions. I can relax now. But little does Allison know that she doesn't.

[25:13] Because it's time for the final challenge. Only five days left. How's it feel? A lot of balloons, but at least they’re not red.

[25:27] Think of something you would enjoy in the morning… -Yeah… -Starbucks! Send it on up!

[25:40] We felt bad about how much you've lost. and provided you with your very own Starbucks up here in the sky. Alison will get to enjoy her very own Starbucks.

[25:56] Let’s go! I'm so excited. This barista is gonna be here every day for the rest of the challenge. You're gonna have, like, a brain high.

[26:10] [slurps] if you want some amazing coffee. There is a catch, though.

[26:23] And then Nolan, come over here. so she can't hear me. Hey, how's it going?

[26:35] and we literally built a Starbucks in the sky. which is the biggest Starbucks card ever given away.

[26:47] If she doesn’t, you get the $50,000 gift card instead. She has no idea about the gift card. She knows nothing. Hey Nolan! Nolan, stop! Stop! Stop!

[27:02] Oh my God! But not well, really. Not well. On this platform,

[27:15] there is a gift card to Starbucks worth $50,000. Well, it's a good thing you made this platform really small Could I have this iPad?

[27:29] Ok. Anyways, uh, have fun with your Starbucks. There’s just not much places to look. I've been up here the whole time.

[27:44] Like, where could they've possibly hidden it? No way! I just found it! [laughing] The search started and it ended really quickly.

[27:56] I'm genuinely so grateful and so excited. With Alison's newfound boost of caffeine, Honestly, by this point, I know what to expect.

[28:13] because sometimes it does some tricky maneuvers on ya' and tries to get ya'.

[28:28] That was horrible. That was actually horrible. this has gotta be the best one. This is the first panel to go that actually is a little bit detrimental.

[28:44] If I forget that that panel is gone, and I stand up and just step backwards… These last few days are only going to get harder, Only three more days. That's insane.

[28:57] I know my shot's not great… but it's not that bad.

[29:13] I warned him yesterday it gets cold up here. Oh, hell no!

[29:32] Why am I sitting there staring at it, without the bow? That was the first time I haven't shot an arrow at the balloon.

[29:46] Sitting up here and holding the bow for hours staring at the balloon but for some reason I'm thinking I'm not gonna hit this balloon.

[29:59] When I get outta here I feel like I'm gonna be so much more patient. I'm throwing it.

[30:13] she might literally fall off on Day 29. I had time to reload that. Ok, um…

[30:27] And by this point, it really seemed like she was starting to lose it. I take back everything I said about Angus and him failing challenges.

[30:39] That's the old me. The old me could do that. The new me is struggling, I'm taking my own floor away.

[30:54] I'm so glad that this is my last day having to stare at a balloon. Not only would missing again make the challenge even harder,

[31:09] Tomorrow I get to touch the ground, the earth. I can have yummy food.

[31:21] -Wait, don't point your bow at me! -[Alison] [laughing] Wow, you're really running outta space over here. Dude, I knew you would.

[31:34] Release the balloon! [Alison] No! Now that you missed that, you won't be needing these anymore.

[31:47] Remember on Day 15 the balance beam that got Angus out? What if I told you, in exactly 24 hours-- Start the timer. And if you can make it across and back, I will double your prize pool.

[32:05] But if you fall like Angus… You, too, will lose everything. $250,000 guaranteed…

[32:20] which keep in mind, you said looked easy, You know, I thought the stress was gonna be gone after that… I will see you tomorrow for the half a million dollar decision.

[32:36] Ok, guys. My head is all over the place. And that's the fastest I will ever make that much money in my life.

[32:48] I got a big day tomorrow. A big challenge, a big decision. Good night, guys. I brought a friend.

[33:02] -Oh, what the heck? -Oh, man! Yeah, this is crazy! [laughing]

[33:16] -That… -Yeah. is $250,000, that in the next 10 minutes, could be added to her prize pool. All you have to do is walk across, grab that check, and walk back.

[33:33] I know, and I hate that my ego tells me I could do it. I feel like I could get across. You made it look really hard though!

[33:46] But I don't want to tell you whether to do it or not, ok? Am I allowed to stand on it? which is why I also brought your brothers out.

[34:02] [cheering] Hey, if you think you got it, do it! [Alison] Oh!

[34:15] Oh! I hate that I just did that! Could I have an almond latte, please? Ok, bro, I wanna go. I wanna go.

[34:29] [sniffles] Why am I gonna cry? but you just gotta be open to the possibility that you're gonna fall.

[34:41] In the 30 days up here, she's been through some highs and lows, How is this more sad? Alison! We support whatever you choose!

[34:54] I wanted to do this challenge to the fullest extent, And I feel like… would be the fullest extent.

[35:09] If I actually got on this beam and fell, I lost. But imagine how cool you would be in front of the whole world!

[35:22] And you went there and you came back. That would be the highest of all highs in the entire world! I wish I just looked at the beam, and I was like heck no.

[35:39] Do you want to leave with a guaranteed 250,000, Or do you want to risk it all to add an extra quarter of a million dollars to your prize pool?

[35:52] If you tell him to drop that check, the deal will officially be off the table. and you will be going home with that $250,000, and not a penny more.

[36:07] What's your answer? -You sure, what? -I'm sure. Nolan, throw it! [Jimmy] Alright. There goes your quarter of a million dollars!

[36:19] Which means you officially won that quarter of a million dollars! I'm glad you did it! But I think we're all curious, would she have made it there and back?

[36:33] Let's see if she does it. minus the money she already won. Oh, she's making this look easy.

[36:48] Oh. This is what threw Angus off! I made such a good decision!

[37:00] She is so lucky she turned down my offer! because it almost got me today, and I'd be up here crying right now, and it'd be really awkward.

[37:13] And with that, Alison has won $250,000! Hey, if you haven't already, subscribe! This video was great.
