Inside Season 2 Episode 5: George’s Dilemma in the Temptation Room
The popular reality series Inside, created by the YouTube collective Sidemen, introduced its viewers to a pivotal moment in Season 2, Episode 5, which premiered on Netflix on March 21, 2025. This episode featured two intriguing challenges and a segment that explored the temptation room, where contestants faced moral dilemmas that could impact their financial stakes in the game.
The Temptation Challenge: George’s Hard Choice
In a crucial scene, participant George was summoned to the temptation room, where he was confronted with a glass box containing an immunity token. This token would offer him protection from elimination in exchange for a hefty $30,000 deduction from the overall prize pool.
Initially, George was steadfast in his refusal to accept the token. However, after being reminded by Sidemen star Vik about his frugal spending compared to his fellow contestants, he began to waver. Compounding this dilemma was a card in the room that hinted at the possibility of his elimination, suggesting that another contestant needed to remain in the competition.
Giving In to Temptation
Despite his resolve, the implications of being restricted to the room for an additional 20 minutes ultimately swayed George’s decision. He ultimately chose to claim the immunity token, but this decision came with a significant ethical cost—he opted to conceal this choice from his fellow contestants.
Fan Reactions: Outrage and Defenses
Fans of Inside were quick to react to George’s actions online. Comments ranged widely, with some denouncing his choice and deceit:
“George is so stupid, he shouldn’t of took the immunity and then lied and said he did.”
“George on the sly tbh any of the insiders would have taken immunity too,”said another.
“So basically George wasted 30k on immunity… He only got one vote and it was from Cinna (cause she knew he wouldn’t get eliminated),”added a third.
“The immunity cost 30k because that’s the amount PK said he didn’t take and they know if George takes it, they will look at PK because everyone sees George as the ‘good guy’,”commented one.
Editing Controversies
Some viewers expressed concerns regarding how George’s moment in the temptation room was edited. Many felt that the final cut misrepresented the timing of his decision:
“Editing did George dirtyyyyy lmaooo why did they act like he immediately took the immunity when he had a whole 20 minutes left,”an X user wrote.
“They did my man George dirty with the edit as if he took the temptation immediately & not showing he had to stay in the room for 20 min,”another user wrote.
The Aftermath: George’s Return to the Group
After securing the token, George returned to his allies and falsely claimed he had turned it down. His supposed integrity earned him praise from his cast mates, who hugged him and expressed admiration for his gameplay, unaware of his deception. During a confessional, Farah affectionately referred to George as her “husband,”insinuating that she wasn’t surprised by his avoidance of temptation.
Mili also expressed her closeness with George, stating that she had known he wouldn’t succumb to temptation. Ironically, George reflected that the guilt he felt from lying was the most difficult part of his experience with the token.
