• Ziad’s roller coaster arc—strategic highs, social mistakes, and a shift from likeable underdog to cutthroat player

As friendships get tested and alliances break apart, who will choose strategy over heart when $3 million is on the line? What happens when pairs turn into solo players or rivals? Press play for all the breakdowns, backstabs, and surprising lessons from inside Wonka’s one-of-a-kind game.
