The much-anticipated series Million Dollar Secret premiered its initial three episodes on Netflix on March 26, 2025. This gripping reality competition features twelve contestants competing for a life-changing million-dollar prize.
Unexpected Twists in Episode 3
As the competition progressed into episode three, contestants were introduced to a surprising twist: a new millionaire had been secretly designated among them. To uncover this mystery, the contestants were tasked with completing a challenge designed to reveal clues.
During this task, the participants were divided into two teams and assigned specific creatures to interact with. Team B member Corey encountered a brown North rat, leading to an unexpected moment of panic. His reaction was quite intense as he faced the creature by screaming:
“No! Oh my God! Oh my God. Oh my God. Oh my God,”Corey reacted.
The Challenge Unfolds
In this riveting episode, after a secret decision, Phil was unveiled as the new millionaire. Host Peter Serafinowicz gathered the contestants outside, where they discovered an intriguing setup with covered plates and chairs awaiting them.
As the contestants chose their seats, Peter explained that the day’s challenge would be pivotal. The winning team would gain exclusive access to the trophy room, along with a crucial clue to determine who among them was the millionaire.
“To find the millionaire and claim the money for yourselves, you must be able to do things you don’t want to do while problem-solving under pressure. We will have some extra guests at the table today, but there aren’t any extra chairs. That’s because they’re already at the table,”Peter shared.
The contestants were divided into two teams based on their seating arrangement:
“You have been split up into two teams of five based on who you sat next to on one side of the table. Chris, Cara, Sam, Lydia, and Jaimi, you’re Team A. Corey, Kyle, Lauren, Phillip, and Sydnee, you’re Team B,”he added.
Upon lifting the lids of their plates, the contestants were met with an assortment of animals and insects:
- Cara and Kyle – a hissing cockroach
- Jaimi and Lauren – a pacman frog
- Lydia and Philip – an African hedgehog
- Samantha and Sydnee – a Bali python
Peter informed the contestants that they wouldn’t be working with these creatures for long. They were instructed to collect their assigned animals and transport them to an exotic display featuring five terrariums, each designated for a specific creature.
“You will place the creature by hand into its correct terrarium, labeled with its name in the form of a pictogram you must solve. Now for each creature placed in its correctly-labeled terrarium, you will receive one point. A tie means the fastest team wins,”he elaborated.
Team A launched their challenge, finishing in 1 minute and 34 seconds. In contrast, Team B outperformed them by completing the task in just 54 seconds, securing access to the trophy room along with a valuable clue to unveil the millionaire’s identity.
For those eager to catch up, all three episodes of Million Dollar Secret are currently available for streaming on Netflix.
