Two contestants are buried alive in the Louisiana Bayou.

One of the competitors wrongly accuses another of being the hugger and must pay the consequences. Meanwhile, the week's ritual has the contestants trying to stay afloat while on a sinking boat. Finally, two of the competitors must enter the execution room and handle a situation with rats.

After one contestant is taken in daylight, the others are left wondering what is in store for the future. Two contestants go head to head in a scavenger hunt.

A military fort is the next location for the contestants where they argue who the hugger might be. After that, they decide to go in search of ghosts.

The contestants still left in the competition are taken to an old school where they must live and follow the tasks set out by the mastermind. Also, the secret identity of the hugger finally comes to light.

The contestants finally learn who the hugger is once they get to the slaughter house. The hugger tries to get to someone else but the unlucky victim tries to form a team in order to protect their place in the competition.

The contestants still left in the competition must find a way out of straight jackets and if that wasn't enough, there's a room full of frightening horrors waiting for them.

The competition has been whittled down to the final three contestants where the last one left will win the prize money.
