The players are participating in a mission with slightly complicated rules, explained at length by Winkleman. The mission involves being buried alive in pairs, with only one duo remaining above ground. Ross Kemp and Romesh Ranganathan, chosen by the traitors, are spared from this fate and decide to dig up their fellow contestants rather than a stash of gold.
All other celebrities are eventually freed, except for Fry and Hall, who are released early when Hall uses the emergency word “Haggis” due to her discomfort. This decision puts either Hall or Fry at risk of elimination, unless the traitors make a new recruit.
Acaster, another player, reveals their strategy to protect Kemp, believing his overthinking could draw suspicion. Grant compliments Acaster’s cleverness, hinting at a strategic gameplay element among the contestants.
