The Dramatic Finale of Million Dollar Secret on Netflix
On April 9, Netflix aired the final episodes of its thrilling game show, Million Dollar Secret, which enticed audiences with a remarkable cash prize of $1 million. In the eighth episode, aptly titled Get Rich or Lie Trying, three contestants—Sam, Corey, and Cara—participated in a high-stakes endgame where they faced an intense challenge involving the swapping of their boxes.
Corey’s Misguided Strategy
Corey, one of the contestants, made a pivotal move by trading his box with Cara’s, whom he suspected to be the secret millionaire due to her unusual demeanor throughout the game. His decision was underpinned by a strategic assumption, leading him to believe that selecting Cara’s box would be his path to the coveted cash prize. However, unbeknownst to Corey, he had fallen victim to Cara’s clever tactics.
Cara’s Deceptive Gameplay
Prior to the game’s commencement, Cara devised a plan to make Corey doubt her. She intended for him to choose her box, which allowed her to swap back during her turn. When the moment came for them to reveal their choices, Corey was devastated to discover his box was empty, while Cara jubilantly celebrated her fortune filled with cash.
Fan Reactions and Criticism
The conclusion of this episode ignited a firestorm of reactions on social media, particularly on X, where many fans criticized Corey’s box-swapping tactics. Commenters felt that he should have opted to leave the boxes in their original positions, which would have left Cara with an empty box during her turn. Here’s what some fans had to say:
“Corey is stupid! he should’ve done nothing to the boxes so Cara thinks he took hers, that way she’d switch and he’d be the millionaire smmfh, dummy,”a fan wrote.
“Corey maybe, just maybe if you switched Sam’s box, Cara would have switched hers with yours. You were not smart, buddy,”another fan commented.
“Corey should have switched his and Sam’s box knowing that Cara would switch with him,”a netizen tweeted.
General Discontent with Corey’s Gameplay
The consensus among fans was clear—many believed Corey had made a grievous error in judgment by opting for Cara’s box. Here are a few notable opinions:
“Corey is just wrong about everything; I want him out. Just ruining the environment with his wrongness,”a user reacted.
“I feel bad for Corey because I feel like he’s really hurt… So he probably really feels betrayed,”another person commented.
“Corey on Million Dollar Secret is so dumb. Dude said he knew who had the million and switched boxes with himself… been an idiot from episode 1,”another fan wrote.
“Nahhh if Corey would’ve switched with Sam to fool Cara, that would be some 100 IQ type of sh*t,”one user posted.
Corey’s Plan to Outsmart Cara
In the climactic moments of episode 8, host Peter Serafinowicz informed Corey and Cara about their task of swapping the contents of a box privately. Although Sam was not allowed to participate due to a prior setback in the show, Corey was given the choice to exchange his box with either Cara’s or Sam’s. With the stage set for manipulation, Cara took advantage of the situation, openly targeting Corey with an aggressive strategy.
“The goal at the end of this game is to have the million dollars inside your box,”the Million Dollar Secret host emphasized.
As the rivals prepared for the swap, Corey was caught off-guard by Cara’s interrogation-style questioning, which led him to reconsider his suspicions about her. Instead, he redirected his focus onto Sam, a tactic that ultimately backfired.
“There’s something weird going on right now… I’ve had suspicion about Cara. At this point, I’m thinking that Sam is not the millionaire, and Cara is,”Corey admitted in a confessional.
A Lesson in Strategy
In the end, as the contestants unveiled their boxes, Corey’s empty box stood in stark contrast to Cara’s fortune, and he expressed his heartache at being so close to victory. Despite the crushing disappointment, he graciously acknowledged Cara’s strategic prowess, recognizing the effectiveness of her ploy.
Million Dollar Secret is now available for streaming exclusively on Netflix, continuing to captivate audiences with its blend of strategy and thrill.
