With $250,000 close at hand and a shocking victory in a karaoke challenge, a conflicted contestant must choose between strategy and loyalty… and possibly betray a best friend. This week offers two challenges.

The second challenge is a karaoke competition, played out in front of a crowd of 500 at a legendary Hollywood concert venue - with a very special surprise guest.
