Players Revert to Babies on the Latest Solitary 3.0

Two pod members bit the dust last time on Solitary 3.0 and tonight another joined them by pushing the big red button. While Pod 5 bowed out last time due to a full tummy, the others still had to suffer through the sweet tooth task. Following the twizzlers, Pod 8 got to sit out while Pod 3 did the "badunka-dunk" to drink her, appreciated, milk penalty. Marshmallows were up next, followed by chocolate pretzels and gummy worms. After eating all her foods and milk, Pod 3 was sitting with 2,800 calories so far. Her last bit of milk set her over the edge, forcing her to push the red button. She was glad to stay and ended the task for everyone. They all screamed at the top of their lungs for not having to eat anymore BUT they had to eat more if they wanted to handicap someone. The person who ate the most would gain the reward and only Pod 4 even tried. He ended up eating around 30 malt balls, when he only had to eat one to win. At least he'll be full for awhile I'm sure!

When the eating was over with it was time for vlogging. Each of the final five were given a video camera and allowed to record whatever they liked. Pod 9 went through each player and named them as a "clown". Others simply talked to the camera, as if it was their family members. Val wanted to screw with them a bit and told each player that they were "losing their minds", on the basis of their videos. Pod 3 took the bait and believed the consensus was that she should leave, so she was going to push the button. Of course Val didn't let her do it, telling her she's just really gullible for falling for the psycho lie. Not sure what the point of that was, since they could have gotten someone to push the button on the basis of what Val told them. Going against the whole point of the show, but at least it was entertaining.

For their next test the players reentered their pods blind. Inside they found a dead skinned goat and Pod 3 flipped out. Nobody was excited for a dead animal to be hanging in front of them, well everyone but Pod 9. The point of the task was to rip meat from the goat. The two players closest to nine pounds would be safe from the treatment, meaning the stakes were even higher. While everyone began ripping off the meat, Pod 3 struggled since she didn't even want to do it in the first place. Although ripping off the meat was the hard part of the task, just getting the correct nine pounds was difficult as well. They had no clue how much any of the meat weighed and were shocked when they found out the real weight of their ripping. In the end Pod 3 gained freedom from the next treatment, after almost quitting, along with Pod 8. That left the two ladies safe from the treatment and sending one of the biggest competitors home.

Before the treatment began the final five competed in the Solitary "triathlon" for a reward. The first leg was sharpening several pencils. As many complained about blisters during the sharpening, Val gave each an electric sharpener. Only problem was, there was one good battery in a set of many and they had to find it before using the electric sharpener. Only Pods 4, 7 and 8 were able to use the faster version which gave them an advantage, and giving 4 and 7 the win. Leg two of the triathlon was following a light on the floor. The person who tagged the light with their foot the most times would move on. But since Pod 4 won he took that spot away from someone else. The final leg was between Pods 4 and 7, who were initial pod mates. They had to move a bowl of eggs across the room without their hands. The one with the most unbroken eggs would win the reward, which was still a mystery. In the end the guys tied with 30 and it came down to who pushed the button first. Since Pod 4 forgot to push the button, he handed the win to Pod 7, giving him a a full breakfast which probably was hard to eat after all that sugary goodness earlier.

With his breakfast done, Pod 7 joined Pods 4 and 9 in a crawling treatment. The three guys had to race through a tunnel and over a bump, while crawling on the ground. Pod 4s handicap was to give someone else a diaper. He gave it to Pod 7 who didn't seem to care, as it added the benefit of using the bathroom while still in the race! As the guys crawled they had to complete a certain number of laps in a certain number of minutes. All were dead after three rounds but while they crawled the two ladies were given a chance to relax. Val turned up the heat and made a fake beach for the girls, giving them some time to tan and offered "through the pod" bonding. Back over in the guys' pods they all claimed to keep going until they dropped dead. As the number of laps increased it was obvious just how painful the treatment was. Pod 9 was the first to gain a penalty round, giving him more laps while the other two guys rested in wait. His first penalty round was a fail, so Val continued to increase his rounds as the penalties increased. Apparently his giddiness was from oxygen deprivation, something Pod 9 obviously had considering just how happy he was for how much pain he was in.

Pod 9 continued increasing his penalty rounds and wouldn't give up. There was never a chance that he could complete any of them, as three out of twenty one laps were all he completed in his last. Although he didn't want to, Pod 9 pushed the red button. He probably should have pushed it five penalty rounds earlier but Pod 9's stay was over. He didn't want to go as he revealed his life as a bouncer wasn't what he wanted to return to. His life in the pod was a happy one and seemed to completely changed his life. Let's hope Pod 9 the best of luck! Make sure to return back in a few days as hopefully we can find out if his life has changed from Solitary in a Rehash interview.
