- I don't want to compete with these guys.
- I'm just saying, if you don't want to compete,
couch is right there.
- Okay. - Yikes.
(tense music)
- All right, I guess we'll just sit down.
- Dude, nerves are kicking my ass.
- [Host] Hello.
- Hi.
- [Host] This is "1000 to 1: Teenagers."
Someone's gonna leave with $1000.
We'll have four elimination rounds lasting 15 minutes each.
For the final round, where there are two people left,
the people who have been eliminated choose the winner.
Does somebody have a strategy?
- No. - Kinda.
- [Host] Oh.
- Oh! (laughs) - Explain.
- It's a strategy. That's about it.
- Interesting.
- [Host] Do you trust everyone here?
- Honestly, yeah. - I trust you guys.
You guys are so nice. (laughs)
I don't want to compete with these guys.
- I'm just saying, if you don't want to compete,
couch is right there.
- Okay. - Yikes.
- [Host] All right, we're beginning now.
(bell ringing)
- Who wants to go first? - With what?
- We could do reasons.
- Whatcha gonna do with the money?
- I guess my more noble reason is education-based.
So I put a lot of the money towards college applications.
And then obviously I've put a little bit
of the money towards something I enjoy.
And for me that's collecting Barbies. (laughs)
- I love that. (all laughing)
- I'm trying to collect these 2000s Barbies.
- How much Barbies do you have?
- 70. - Whoa, okay.
- I know, it's a lot. Sorry, someone else can go.
- I need some way to get my car fixed.
My windshield's busted, I don't have a door handle
on the inside of my car, so I gotta
let down my window, open it, it's terrible.
- I just graduated high school
and I've been wanting to play baseball, that's my dream.
And I need to save up $15,000 for an academy
to play nine months and then get picked up by a team.
- Do you think you're gonna make it to the MLB?
- Yes, but I do have to put in the work for it though.
There's amount of work you can do, gotta put in for it.
- I actually want to do a couple things with the money.
So the first thing I would do is put together
bags for homeless people, things like socks
and deodorant, and stuff like that.
And then I would give the rest of the money to my parents
because my dad lost his business and then he also
got diagnosed with cancer right after that
and so he had to get procedures and things.
So my mom had to pay for those as well.
And then we recently had to sell our house
'cause it was too expensive
and my mom was the only one paying for it.
So if I could help her in any way, I would love to.
So that's what I would do with the money.
- I guess I'll go over here.
So since corona happened, my mom owns a preschool
and you can't really have preschool with corona.
So I just want to help her out with a bit.
And also, I also need a car
because I'm gonna get an internship soon.
And most likely my parents won't be able to drive me.
- [Host] What do you think his strategy is?
- I hope you're not lying.
- I'm not lying, I'm not lying at all.
- Okay. (laughs)
- I feel like he's plotting something.
- My mom owns a preschool and I don't have a car.
- So I have Celiac disease.
Do you guys know what that means?
- [Torrey] What is it?
- So I can't eat gluten.
It really damages my intestines and stuff.
So cross-contamination is a really big thing.
So when I leave home and go to college,
I can't really eat in the dining hall.
I would have to create a little mini kitchen in my dorm.
I'd have to get a mini fridge, microwave, air fryer.
I also have type one diabetes. (laughs)
So I'd have to get a bunch of storage
for all my medical supplies.
- [Host] Who wants to be verbal right now
about who they think should go?
(Surya laughs)
- Not me. - Can I point to myself?
- Don't do that.
- [Host] You guys are being very nice.
Knowing that people came in with strategies
and that there could be liars here.
(boys laughing)
- Feels like that was directed towards me.
(Man laughing)
I'm not lying. I promise.
I'm actually being genuine when I say this.
- It's all good, we're just messing with you.
- [Host] You guys, you have two minutes.
- To decide decide?
- [Host] Yeah, or we're gonna take $200 away.
- Should we just point to the person we think?
- I think that's fair.
- Do we have time to write stuff down?
- You just point. - Yeah, just point.
- [Fisayo] I don't want to point, but I'm sorry.
- I'm so sorry. (laughs)
- It's okay, I'm not gonna take it personally.
I'm already feeling like there's certain people here
who'd better use the funds than I would at the time.
You know what I mean?
- You're cool people, I like you.
- Bye! - Bye!
- When I said I had a strategy, I just meant
that that's what I was gonna say.
The stuff I was gonna say up here,
that's what I really meant by strategy.
- [Host] I'm gonna start the round.
(bell ringing)
If you had to vote for someone that's not yourself,
who deserves the $1000?
- I don't know how to pronounce your name.
- Oh, Fisayo.
- [Vivian] I think Fisayo.
- I would choose you because
you couldn't control your medical circumstances.
- Oh, me, myself.
I'm still gonna go for myself cause I really wanna make it.
- Do you have an idea of how
we should eliminate the next person?
Is there anyone here that doesn't have family behind them
to financially support whatever they need?
- I'm handled. - I do have support.
- I do, but it's iffy.
- My mom does try to support me in every way that she can,
but she can only help so much.
So in the first place I feel bad asking because,
I don't know, I feel like it's just not the right time
and it hasn't been the right time for a long time.
- Man, I don't like the silence.
(group laughing)
- I'm the most indecisive person in the world.
- Same, I can't make decisions.
- Who do you think should be eliminated next?
- Ooh, juicy.
- [Vivian] That's the question.
- Okay, based on what we've heard so far,
I feel like it should be green shirt.
- Torrey, yeah. - I don't know, sorry.
- I'm totally cool with just leaving this round.
- Are you eliminating yourself?
- Yeah. (laughs) These people need it, I'm chilling.
- If he doesn't want to be here, why force him to be here?
If he wants to leave, I wouldn't myself, but, I mean,
if that's your choice. - It's your choice.
- I'm just being honest.
- It's different down here.
I don't know how you guys did that. That took a lot.
- No, I'm totally chilling.
- I would've stayed.
- [Torrey] Really?
- Yeah. You came here for a reason.
(bell ringing)
- I guess I maybe I have one question.
Do any of us feel like self eliminating?
- No. - No.
- No. - Yeah, I agree.
I don't want to self eliminate either.
Since I'm 15 right now I cannot,
I don't think I can get any job anywhere
and these internships are gonna help me out
with deciding what I want to do in life.
- I mean, 15-year-olds can work. I worked when I was 15.
- What are you talking about?
- We're just asking if everyone had a job or not.
- Or are you guys able to get a job?
- Or are you able to?
- I do have a job. - I also have a job.
I'm a waitress, but I only work one day a week.
- Yeah, I graduated and I work
at least 38 to 40 hours a week.
- I do not have a job.
- Are you doing any work under the table?
- No. (laughs) - Why not?
- Because, well, I don't want
to get into any trouble and stuff.
- I mean, there's a place near where both of us live
that I work at and it does youth sports
and they pay a really good wage.
They pay above minimum wage.
Okay, I shouldn't be giving job advice. Yeah.
- Just to clarify, your reasoning was for appliances?
- Yeah, I would have to create a little mini kitchen.
- So is it silverware?
Is it actual stuff for your condition?
- Insurance covers some of it,
but most of it would just be for storage space.
I have a shit ton of medical stuff
that I have to stock and store.
- Would your parents help with that?
- Yeah, they definitely would help.
- How much money do you guys make?
- I make $14.50 an hour.
- At Costco they pay me $17.70.
But since it's COVID pay it's $21.70.
- That's a lot. That's gonna help you out.
- How much time do you have?
- [Host] 30 seconds.
I do have an idea in mind who I want out.
- Do we point or do we--
- You guys want to do the pointing method?
- We have to point. - Oh my gosh. I don't know.
- Somebody point first.
- Sorry. Oh my gosh, no, I changed my mind.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I don't know, I don't know anymore.
- Plaid shirt. - Jadon?
- I'm sorry. - I feel terrible.
- Okay.
- That's the worst feeling. I'm so sorry.
- You got my heart racing.
Why'd you guys choose me? (Surya giggling)
- I feel bad. Honestly, I really didn't want to do that,
but if you really wanted to, you could pick up a job.
- See, I understand why.
- I don't want to put you down,
but our reasons there's a little bit more of a problem.
- I just feel like her mom needs more help
than maybe your mom, but that's horrible to say.
- I still feel really bad, though.
- Me too. I really didn't want to hurt your feelings.
Honestly, I'd be hurt too. (bell ringing)
- I hate this, I hate this.
- [Host] What are you guys gonna do?
- I don't know, I don't like this.
- Man.
- Any of you guys wanna eliminate yourselves?
- No. - No.
- I don't want to eliminate myself.
- I feel like I made it too far to do that.
- Who do you think should be eliminated?
- Why did you have to do that?
(Fisayo laughing)
- I just don't want to look.
You can point but I just don't want to look.
- I mean, yeah.
I feel like if I had to choose somebody it would be him.
(Josiah scoffing)
If I'm not going to vote for myself.
'cause I'm obviously not gonna do that.
- Is his dreams not enough?
- No, I didn't say that at all.
- Dreams are enough, but I feel like if we do the math,
do you have anything saved up so far?
- Yeah. - How much?
- $1000. - Okay.
- Do any of you other guys have something in savings?
- I have zero in savings. - Same.
- OK, maybe they should vote. - Yeah.
- It shouldn't be on us, we're out.
- [Host] The people out there decide the game.
And they want you three to vote.
- Okay, which of y'all will buy us food?
- Starbucks. - For drinks?
- [Jadon] Yeah.
- If it came down to that, sure.
(Surya laughing)
- Would you buy us a venti or...
- Yes.
- If we're bribing, I got you! (Fisayo laughing)
Where you wanna go?
- Let's just figure it out. Let's figure it out.
So between those people, who are you thinking?
- If we have to pick, I would rather do a paper
or something, like write down.
- [Host] They're going really slow, guys.
- Oh my gosh. - Hurry up.
- Pink sweatshirt. It's only because he has stuff saved.
- And do at the same time, do it at the same time.
- I see pink sweatshirt.
- [Jadon] Pink sweatshirt.
(all laughing)
- My name is Josiah.
- Sorry. - I'm so sorry.
- Y'all are janky with me.
- The only reason I picked you
is because you said you had 1K in savings.
- I don't know how to feel about that.
So I'm gonna walk out of there.
Good luck, good luck.
- I'm so sorry.
- The food was really tempting, though.
- Your pink shirt is giving Barbie, so I love it.
- I didn't think it would be this horrible.
- I know.
- Why did you guys eliminate me?
- I feel that your dream is still possible.
- Anything's possible. - That's true, yeah.
- I don't know, I would say it's a similar thing
to what Max said, yeah.
- My name's not Max. - Oh, Samuel? (laughs)
- Oh, I'm sorry, Jadon. Oh my God, I'm so sorry.
- It's all right. (bell ringing)
- [Host] This is the final round.
The people that have been eliminated choose the winner.
- I like that.
I didn't want to have to do that, so that's good.
- All right, I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100.
- Okay, I don't know if we should go luck games.
- Don't do that, it'd be so janky. I'd be so mad.
- I'm not doing that.
- [Host] Why don't you say why you think
the other person doesn't deserve it.
- [Surya] Wow.
- That is so mean.
- Literally, there's no reason why she doesn't deserve it.
- I don't think there's any reason
that you don't deserve it either.
- I think they're both arguing for each other.
- How much would the cost of your appliances for your...
- Well, I'm not sure, 'cause I don't know,
A, what school I'm going to, or B,
what I would be allowed to have in a dorm room.
- You can't go to the dining hall, right? At all.
- I'm not sure about at all, but I also don't want
to be 100% dependent on the dining hall.
- Honestly, I'd want Fisayo to win it
'cause she'd use it now instead of later.
Not saying that your reason isn't valid.
- I get it, I get it. (laughs)
- [Josiah] I'm sorry.
- What do we do if it's a tie?
- [Host] If it's a tie and you can't decide
on a winner we keep all the money.
- All right!
- I think we should just give us one person.
- [Host] Who do you vote for?
- The one on the right. (all laughing)
- [Josiah] We don't even know who that is.
- Fisayo? - Fisayo.
- Sorry. - Fisayo.
- I agree. - Oh my gosh.
- [Host] We have our winner! (bell ringing)
- Me? Yay! (all clapping)
Thank you, thank you. - You deserve it.
- Oh my gosh, I feel so grateful. Thank you, guys.
I feel so, you guys have no idea.
I'm not showing it, I feel like, but I feel very grateful.
- Are we gonna get Starbucks?
- Yeah, are we gonna get Starbucks?
- Yes, I'll buy everybody Starbucks.
- Period. - Out of my pocket.
- I want that vanilla frappe.
- [Vivian] But their mocha's the best.
- I just want a hot chocolate.
- You guys.
- Go to basic java for that.
- I keep the Swiss Mix in the back of my dad's car.
- Yeah, but that's not the same.
- [Host] All right, great job, you guys.
( all clapping) (slow violin music)
