The fifth episode of “Inside”Season 2, titled “Tempting Fate,”premiered on Netflix on March 21, 2025. Following Patrice’s elimination in the preceding episode, the remaining contestants were thrust into a late-night challenge known as “Night Watch.”
Overview of the Night Watch Challenge
As the Insiders entered the challenge arena, they were greeted by screens displaying their names and a pressing task: keep a four-minute timer from reaching zero. To accomplish this, participants were required to input a specific four-digit code during the final ten seconds, all while facing various distractions.
Should the timer expire, a significant prize deduction awaited, prompting a sense of urgency among the competitors. George and Jason took the lead and successfully reset the timer, but others struggled against temptations, which included food and grooming opportunities. Cinna and Milli faced a hefty £15,000 deduction due to their failures, while DDG’s snack order resulted in an additional £5,000 loss. Notably, Jason suffered a further £15,000 decline after mishandling a paper-ball challenge.
“Please let me shoot it again, I’ll make it this time,”he asked the cameras.
Temptations and Their Consequences
One significant aspect of the challenge was the temptations presented to contestants. For instance, George made the controversial choice to accept an £30,000 immunity offer, ultimately lying to the group about his decision. Meanwhile, participants prepared for an upcoming talent show, eagerly anticipating feedback from well-known judges: Vik and Specs Gonzalez from season one.
The “Night Watch”challenge served as a test of endurance and focus. Each Insider had to input the designated four-digit code within the deadline, heightening the stakes for everyone involved. During lulls in the challenge, contestants engaged in personal discussions; at one point, George claimed he wasn’t interested in any romantic entanglements.
“We know how much you wanted a haircut. Well, now this is your chance,”the card read.
However, mistakes were made, leading to financial penalties. Milli and Cinna’s delays culminated in a £15,000 setback. Whitney articulated the strain saying:
“Honestly, I’m so tired, I just want to go to bed.”
DDG’s snack choice alone warranted a £5,000 loss, while Jason’s later paper challenge added another £15,000. Both DDG and Mya attempted a temptation challenge but failed to eat their food, incurring yet another £15,000 penalty. Fortunately, DDG redeemed himself by successfully completing the paper-ball challenge on his third attempt.
“I’m a clutch player, but I’m a volume shooter,”he confided in a confessional.
Secret Tasks, Immunity, and the Talent Show
The following morning presented George with an alluring offer of immunity worth £30,000. Initially resistant, he ultimately accepted it out of self-preservation upon learning of another contestant’s intention to eliminate him. Expressing his regret later, he stated, “Lying was the worst part.”Despite his deception, Milli staunchly defended his character:
“I know my guy, Mullet Daddy! I knew it! I knew he would never fall for a temptation in this place,”she professed.
George eventually revealed his secret to both Milli and Cinna, who in turn was tasked with acting as a “traitor”to safeguard the group’s financial health. She cleverly advised Milli:
“You can get out of the elimination tonight but you can’t tell anyone I told you that.”
The episode culminated in an entertaining talent show, judged by the esteemed Specs Gonzalez and Vik. Contestants displayed a variety of skills: Mya and PK dazzled with ballroom dancing, George showcased his opera singing abilities, and Milli earned accolades for her unique animal impressions, ultimately winning the coveted shop token. The judges applauded their efforts, leaving a palpable sense of anticipation for the impending eliminations, concluding the episode on a dramatic cliffhanger.
For those eager to catch up, episode 5 of “Inside”Season 2 is now available for streaming on Netflix.
