- Damn!
- [Narrator] We brought together seven strippers.
- I am a stripper.
- [Narrator] One is a liar.
If the group discovers who the liar is
they'll win a cash prize.
If the liar survives, they win the cash prize.
This is odd man out.
(upbeat music)
- My strategy is to kind
of find the person who's using stereotypes.
What people assume about strippers.
- Since I'm very in this industry
and a bookworm about it and know how this works.
I know what kind of question to ask.
- Just to not be quiet because I can be quiet
and you know people might think that sucks.
- We're gonna start out nice
and slow as if you know, warming up.
I have to get on the stage
then obviously, throw some of the heater questions down.
(upbeat music)
- So how old were y'all when y'all started?
- 26, I'm 29.
- I had just turned 19.
- I was 21. - 23.
- 21!
- I was 21.
- I have to ask, are you guys touching?
Like, is your clubs,
like full touching or like,
where can the patron touch you guys?
- Guys can allow females to touch.
Of course, females are pretty crazy.
Nothing but like scratch marks and stuff.
That's not my favorite.
- Um, I live in Salt Lake City.
So it's very different here since we're so religious.
We have to stay three feet away from customers at all times.
- What! - Yeah.
(Blair laughing)
- You guys would have such a problem with Coronavirus right?
Because like,
how's the American like strip scene at the moment?
'Cause it's really (indistinct)
- We have to wear a mask on stage.
Like, we can't do lap dances right now
and I have to wear a mask on stage.
But like the club that I work at,
the stage is behind the bar, anyway.
So it's like, it wasn't a lot of customer interaction.
Like without the lap dances on the floor,
but now it's like everybody's just on stage with a mask on.
So it's like weird.
- Whew, that was an intense round.
(upbeat music)
- Poppy, she kept talking, speaking, asking questions.
Like she didn't wanna give anyone time
to ask her too many questions.
- I'm suspicious of Nicole.
And I think I'll be voting her out this round.
- I think I'm gonna lean towards Justin.
- Blair bunny.
I didn't hear a lot from her.
- I think I'm gonna vote for Justin.
- Maybe Lola?
I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
- [Narrator] Okay, so the first round we have a tie.
The tie is between Justin and Poppy.
You'll get 30 seconds to plead your case.
And specifically, I want you guys
to focus on telling us your favorite thing about the job.
- Okay, so my favorite thing about the job,
obviously, apart from the money
is I'm a huge attention seeker
and I love being on stage and performing.
I love interacting with the customers.
I'm a massive attention seeker.
I'm not gonna lie to you guys. (bell rings)
- You guys are choosing out Australia like that.
The best part about entertaining,
I like seeing a smile on the women's faces.
- Aw, that's so nice. - And if there's,
obviously it's, you know,
lesbian, gay community there,
obviously I like seeing the smile on their faces well, too.
So, more the merrier, love y'all.
(bell rings) - Not a good case.
- I have to vote for Justin for that.
- Sorry, Justin gotta vote you out.
I'm gonna vote again for Justin.
- Ah, man, this is Poppy, Poppy, Poppy.
Please be Poppy!
- I'm pretty sure I'm gonna get voted off Reddit,
because he looks like a stripper.
I'm still gonna go with Poppy though.
I'm just an attention seeker.
Huh! - Imma go with poppy still.
I'm sorry.
- [Narrator] The person eliminated this round is...
- It's gonna be me.
- Justin.
- Oh yes. - Sorry Justin.
- I'm still in.
- Goes to show.
Don't always act so confident, I guess.
- Sorry for the lack of pole work, guys.
Don't have my pole with me.
- That's okay, Poppy, you don't need a pole.
- Yes ma'am!
- Yes. - Okay.
♪ Yeah. ♪
- Hey!
- Oh, this girl knows what she's doing.
♪ Need it right now ♪
♪ Lately, I've been goin til the lights out ♪
- Okay, Poppy!
- Hey, yes!
- She's good.
- But at the same time,
there's a lot of people who do this on Instagram free.
So you never know.
She might be stripper.
- I knew it, see, you can tell already that he's a stripper.
You can tell.
- I am impressed.
- I'm just always entertained watching male strippers.
- Yeah, there's no way he's not a stripper.
(upbeat music)
- Oh, male strippers make me uncomfortable.
Oh my God.
- Oh, I've got goosebumps. (Blair laughs)
Oh my gosh.
- It's like a very standard, male stripper move.
Were we allowed to wear heels?
I didn't wear my heels!
- With the twirlin' stuff.
- Ooh.
- Okay, she's definitely a dancer, what the heck.
- This girl's bringing out the tricks,
so I gotta come hard with it.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, she did good, but I'm still gonna keep my eye out.
(upbeat music)
- Love her shoes.
- Okay, Nicole.
- But I'm like, maybe pole instructor.
- I see you.
- I still think it's Nicole, imo.
I think she's a pole instructor.
- She's a stripper.
(upbeat music)
- Okay, okay, she's got some moves.
This is so hard, ugh!
- I don't know about Lola now.
- She looks like a stripper, too.
She dances really nicely.
- Damn!
- I don't know who the mole is!
I feel like confused from that round
because everybody was a good dancer.
- It made me actually suspicious of more people than less.
So now I'm even more confused.
- I think I'm gonna vote for Valentino.
Sorry, I feel like I'm just attacking the men right now.
But-
- Lola, like, it just seemed like she was nervous,
which I was as well.
- It's between Lola and Poppy.
- I think I'm looking at Lola this round.
- I'm still going to go with my gut feelings on Poppy
because like she's the only one who didn't wear heels
or anything like that.
- I am definitely getting voted off
because I didn't know that we could wear heels.
I think Mysteri is a pole instructor.
I don't think she's a stripper,
I think she's a pole instructor.
- [Narrator] We have another tie.
This time it's between Lola and poppy.
This tiebreaker will be show and tell,
go grab some items in your house
to show off to the group that proves you are a stripper.
- So, I went and find some of my,
like most favorite outfits.
This I got from like Hawaii.
There's like a store over there called
like leather lace lollipops,
money making, money making outfit.
I have my bag from last time I worked in San Francisco
at Crazy Horse.
You know, my club that I work at.
- Yes. - And I've got these bills.
It was a little night, but you know
'cause whatever it was the first time we opened.
So yeah, and I thought
Slingshot.
I know you guys know about a Slingshot.
- Oh she's definitely a stripper.
(bell rings) - I'm sad
because I'm pretty sure Lola's a stripper too.
My one thing, well, two things that I brought,
my cash from the night before last night, night before.
So the two clubs I like I'm working away
at the moment at a new club.
So these are the last two nights rubber banded
as you guys know.
And if you're a stripper, if you know, you know
- They are both strippers for sure.
But we have to vote one out.
- And, I do have heels.
I didn't know we could wear them for the performance
but here's my heels.
- I don't know.
This was kind of hard bro,
because Lola pulled out the Slingshot
like you ain't just gonna have that for no reason.
- Your money, rubber banded, as you know.
We don't all rubber band, our money, Poppy.
- I'm gonna say Lola
because the money she pulled out, wasn't that much money.
- Poppy, I'm sorry.
- Got's to go girl.
- I am going to vote for Lola.
Even though I don't take it's her.
- [Narrator] Votes are in.
The person eliminated this round is Poppy.
- Maybe, 'cause I didn't wear heels for my performance.
I didn't even think to put them on.
- What's the most y'all have made in the night
and what's the least y'all have made in night?
And I'll go first.
The first I made was 2200 in the night.
Like that was like, woo, got the bag that night.
My worst night y'all I made $80 and like tip out is 50.
So I went with $30 bro, I was sick.
- At least you tipped out. - Yeah.
- My club's kind of different.
We do a percentage base.
So we don't tip out like a stage fee.
So I've never gotten like negative
since it's always been 30%.
So the least I've made was like 20 bucks.
- Man.
- Ah, let me tell you about the bro life, for us.
Lord, so I would say my best night was 1200
which was in Atlanta, Georgia.
And my worst night when we did a show at hour
I made $7 - $7.
$7
And the crazy thing is girls like, oh
I didn't know we supposed to bring money to like a show.
I'm looking like you ain't watched Magic Mike?
- The most I ever made was 4,700.
It was from two guys, two guys.
I was in VIP for hours.
I was like the happiest person ever.
And then when I came downstairs all the dancers like,
dang you've been up there forever.
And I had a migraine.
So I'm proud of myself from getting through it.
Cause I felt sick.
And then the least I ever made was 157.
That was my first day.
And then I had the nerve,
'cause I was excited about being a dancer.
I never made that much.
I had the nerve to take $157, right?
And I threw it in the air
and I'm like
- Why would you do that?
- The worst night I had, I had to be like $15.
And I worked like the whole night
I stood there all those hours.
But the most I made of one night
would have to be like 4,200.
That's about it.
- What are your guys' biggest pet peeves about your job?
- Oh, when people ask to go home with me,
like no, never.
- Overly drunk girls.
- Really? - Yes.
Because I'm not, I'm not getting, I'm not getting no tips.
They flailing around, got, got, be carried out.
Oh my god.
- It's the guys.
Guys are too touchy
and they really don't respect the boundaries.
Even the rules of the club.
It's like, bro, still have boundaries.
Still respect us.
Like this is still a job, like.
- So I want to ask has anyone date anyone.
So social stigma, like, you know
it's hard to date an entertainer or hard to deal with.
- I'm actually in a relationship.
So my partner is a DJ.
So he's not like a DJ at the strip club
but he's a part of that night life.
So he kind of just understands it and respect me.
And we under understand each other's work.
So I'm just very fortunate to have that.
- I had the opposite effect.
I told my ex, I'm currently single.
I told my ex I was a dancer and he like fetishized it.
Like he'd be like, ooh, do tricks on the pole for me.
Ooh. You going dance for me?
Felt like I had to work outside of work.
- I I'm single.
I'm not really looking for a relationship,
but like customers always try to date me all the time anyway
and the or like guys that I do meet, they think that I'm a
they're like, oh I bet you're so flexible.
I bet you're a freak.
Like they like just love to sexualize my job.
And it's, it's hard to find someone that will also
trust you as well.
At this point, I feel like the mole is out of the game.
I think I'm going to vote for Valentino this round
- Last round, the person who didn't have a pole was Lola.
So-
- I guess I'm gonna have to go with Lola again.
- So I think I'm gonna have to vote Lola out this round
because she just wasn't present in the conversation forreal.
- I got so anxious during that round, I don't know why.
I feel like they're gonna vote for me.
- [Narrator] The person eliminated this round is Lola.
- That's alright with me.
I figured my time was coming soon.
- [Narrator] If everyone feels confident
that you've already caught the mole we can end the game now.
If the majority of you have any doubt,
the game can continue.
Give me a thumbs up,
if you want to continue the game
or a thumbs down,
if you think the mole has already been caught
and you wish to finish the game.
All right, majority rules.
So the game is over.
(upbeat music)
If the light behind you turns green
that means you guys have caught the mole and you have won.
If the light turns red
the mole is still in the game and you lose.
- Oh wow.
- I knew it was Valentino, I knew it was Valentino.
- Who's lying?
What is this?
- [Narrator] On the count of three,
can I have the mole please raise their hand.
One...
Two...
Three...
- Oh my god!
- I thought it was you in the first round!
- See my strategy was to vote anyone
who didn't have a pole, I'm upset right now.
- Okay. So my story-
- Are you a pole instructor?
- I'm a pole instructor.
- I said it, I said it to the camera a long time ago.
- It was Mysteri or Nicole.
I was like, one of you guys is a pole instructor,
I can tell.
- I work with a lot of strippers, you guys.
So that was my thing.
I'm like, I work with a lot of strippers,
but I don't strip, so.
- Ooh, would you look at that?
How the tables turned.
- She was amazing at dancing and those heel clocks.
I was like, there's no way that she is the mole.
I learned a lot from this experience
especially with the male strippers
and the money is different for men a lot of times too,
because they don't get
the same types of tips that women
would get in a typical strip club.
- I think as dancers,
we assume that people assume things about us
but we were stereotyping each other and we're like, ooh,
and I think a lot of us went off the fact that like Lola
and poppy didn't have a pole.
- The most common misconception with strippers
is that they're like stupid or they are high school dropouts
or they have no personality.
Like we are people
and the choice of job like
doesn't define who we are as a person.
