Following a detailed re-cap of the show up until this point, we are reminded that Sam last week voted out Tiffany, with whom he had become quite close.
"It was the hardest decision," he says in interviews. "I apologised to her. It was pretty confusing - a very hard thing to do."
Sam and Ben discuss his vote in Sam's room. They didn't like Tiffany's parting comment - "Bro's before Ho's".
Sam remains frustrated by Mick yet again winning immunity.
"We should burn that jacket," he says, referring to the immunity cloak.
Decadence
The three remaining guys - Sam, Ben and Mick, come out
dressed in togas. They are to participate in a challenge where they
must bite into a hanging lamb carcass while handcuffed. Whoever can
deposit the most amount of gnawed meat into their bowl wins. Gross.
Mick says it was probably one of the most disgusting things he's
ever done.
Ben wins with 574 grams. He wins "the latest in 4 wheel technology" - a remote control car.
Special meal
At their "last supper" the boys are giving the special
privilege of eating off their special elimination plates. They
discuss their most memorable moments in the house.
Sam cites the moment Mary's fiancé turns up to find her handcuffed to Sam in the spa pool.
Mick's is when he lost his temper upon being booted out.
Sam also talks about when Mary hurled the melon at Mark when she was all mad at him.
Last day
Tonight, Sam will find out the truth about Living the
Dream.
The various cast members discuss Sam's qualities as a person.
But has Sam already uncovered the truth? He noticed in his travel documents that his hotel has been booked until the end of the show, as if the production knew he would still be there at the end. He asks Executive Producer Julie Christie about it.
"That's a mistake," she says hastily. Crisis averted. Maybe.
Final elimination
The cast members discuss their nervousness about Sam
learning the truth. Some are worried, some are excited.
When the final vote is about to occur, Mark re-introduces all the
eliminated contestants, who will decide the final winner.
The contestants all get to ask the final three a question.
Plentiful platitudes follow.
The final three find themselves justifying why they each should
win, and recalling some of the more extreme moments in the
house.
The votes are not anonymous this time around - each person must hold on to their's and read it out themselves.
Rima: She voted for Mick, because he never stopped playing the game.
Mary: She voted for Sam, because he was so nice to her.
Mule: He voted for Sam, because he's the only one he could trust.
Billy: He voted for Ben, because he made him laugh.
Betty: She voted for Mick, because he was the most real.
Tiffany: She says "payback time", then the image freezes and the episode is "to be continued"!!!
Crikey!
