## The Game

The contestants must answer Sam's questions correctly, to the satisfaction of "the Machine". The Machine will process any answers put forward and either turn green and play the sound of a bell ringing or turn red and play the sound of a buzzer. Unbeknownst to the players, the Machine is being controlled by their significant others.

### Round 1

Answer questions correctly for a point, bonus points are rewarded for elaborations on certain questions.

### Mini Game 1

The contestant share asked to share something personal that they would like to feed into the machine. If true, Sam will then assign it a one through five juiciness rating and they will receive those number of points.

* Brennan: "Okay, the bed that I lost my virginity in in a one night stand when I was 16 years old, is the same bed I was later cuckholded in, in my longest, at the time, relationship." (+5)
* Jess: "I’ll just say I’ve had multiple threesomes." (+5)
* Tao: "Yeah. One time walking home from a friend’s house to my dorm, I fully shit myself. On the way back, and I was walking with my friends, too, so I was like, I’m gonna walk ahead, and I discarded my pants on the street... Like three blocks away from the house... I also discarded my underpants. I was wearing a fleece–" (+5)

### Round 2

Answer questions correctly for a point, bonus points are rewarded for elaborations on certain questions.

### Mini Game 2

This time we’re gonna flip the script from mini game number one. I want to hear wholesome things about you. Things that present you in a positive light.

* Brennan: "So, I take vacation time off of work, and instead of going to vacation, I go work more at a different other place, which is this summer camp. And the past couple years, I donate my salary to the fund that sends financially needy kids to camp." (+5)
* Jess: "I can. I spent a lot of my life, especially my younger years in school, not feeling great about myself. I felt like I wasn’t pretty enough. I was too tall. I wasn’t smart enough. And now that I’m older, I’m so proud of myself that I have let a lot of that go, that I genuinely like myself, and that I’m allowed to say that out loud. It doesn’t bother me at all. I’m smart. I write good sketches. I got a great ass." (+5)
* Tao: "I like to think of myself as someone who can do nice things for people without needing it to even be recognized. Lots of small examples, letting people like go ahead of me in a line for a bathroom. They really need to go. Things like that." (+3)

### Round 3

Sam asks a true or false statement about the players. The other players (not including the player the statement is about) have to decide whether or not the statement is true or false.

### Final Scores

* Brennan: 32 (Winner!)
* Jess: 32 (Winner!)
* Tao: 31

## Prize

A dinner for two at Sam's restaurant in Los Angeles (we aren't told which restaurant for legal reasons).

All three couples win the prize because, "We’ve embarrassed all three of you up here today. And because it really doesn’t matter who wins or loses at this game," (Sam Reich).
