Summary
Highlights
Brainrot Bruce, who initiated the idea of voting, surprisingly votes to continue, shocking Drummer and Peapack. Lynn Jr. also votes to continue, arguing that leaving won't change their dire circumstances. Barnacle Boy aggressively advocates for continuing to win the money, leading to a confrontation with AshCat.
Conkdor, Eggman, and Popple rally players to continue, emphasizing that the games are 'kids games' and they've made it this far. They chant for 'one more game,' irritating Bay Head, who argues for a fair vote.
Several players, including Bay Head, Johnny Calif, and AshCat, vote to stop, while others like Eggman and Yeti vote to continue. The fate of the game rests on Tom Holloway's vote. After much tension, Tom votes to stop, leading to cheers and celebrations from those who voted 'X.' Squidward announces that the majority has voted to terminate the games, and the game is officially over. Some players, like Barnacle Boy and Lynn Jr., express disappointment and desire to continue, but Squidward confirms the termination while still leaving a door open for future participation.
After the first game, five players are eliminated. The remaining players, distressed by the violence, beg to be released. Squidward, the host, clarifies that they are not there to hurt them but to offer a chance, reminding them of the consent form clause which states a player is not allowed to stop playing. However, Brainrot Bruce points out another clause: if all players agree to stop, the games can end.
Squidward agrees to a vote to terminate the game. Before voting begins, he announces the prize money: 100 million won per eliminated player, totaling 45.6 billion won if all six games are completed. If the game stops, the money goes to the families of the dead, and the remaining players leave empty-handed.
Players are instructed to press a green 'O' button to continue or a red 'X' button to stop. Voting proceeds in reverse order of player numbers. Drummer votes to stop, encouraged by Peapack. Janet Holloway votes to continue, angering her husband Tom.
