00:00Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're counting down our picks for the most jaw-dropping moments
00:05in reality competition shows when the game was totally upended by shocking betrayals.
00:09Look at who's scared. I'm not scared at all, buddy.
00:13I will bury you under the sand.
00:16Number 10, Rick Devins of Ixdrew at Final 3, Big Brother Season 28.
00:21Devins, we've played this game since the beginning.
00:24I saved you, brought you to Final 3. I would love if you brought me to Final 2.
00:28I think you got me beat anyways. I'd love to sit in those Final 2 chairs with you, man.
00:34Reaching the Final 3 of Big Brother 28 put Rick Devins in an agonizing position.
00:39He had formed an unusually close bond with Drew, treating him almost like a son throughout the game.
00:44I kind of fell into a father role in some ways.
00:47I developed a deep relationship with Drew. I put a lot of stock in him.
00:51It paid off when he took me to Final 3 over D.
00:55Oh, you're going to look so handsome, buddy.
00:57Thanks, Pat.
00:57Drew believed that relationship would carry him to the Final 2, especially after everything they'd survived together.
01:02But after winning the Final Head of Household, Devins was blackmailed by Taylor into taking her to the end.
01:07I gotta do what I can to try to win.
01:10This is a total betrayal, and I know that, and I'm sorry. I love you, but I have to evict
01:15you.
01:15With tears in his eyes, he sent Drew packing, believing he couldn't secure the votes against him.
01:20Drew later called the move a total betrayal.
01:22However, he still voted for Devins to win the $750,000 prize.
01:27Congratulations, Devins!
01:29You are the winner of Big Brother 28.
01:36Devins Taylor, come on out.
01:45I was talking with Mistress and Georges, my Texas girls, about wanting to see us all in the finals.
01:51So this could be a really great way to kind of show our true colors.
01:55An agreement between these four queens seemed like a straightforward way to survive the preliminary round.
02:00Mistress Isabel Brooks, Georges, Nicole Paige Brooks, and Carrie Colby agreed to exchange their MVQ points, allowing each queen to
02:07receive one point.
02:08I'm gonna swap with you.
02:10You're gonna swap with me.
02:12We're on the same count.
02:22Nicole and Carrie honored their side of the deal.
02:25Mistress and Georges had another idea.
02:27Instead of giving their points to Nicole and Carrie, Mistress and Georges swapped them with each other.
02:31Suddenly, they had two points each, while Nicole and Carrie were left with nothing.
02:35So here's my point, Georges.
02:37I love you, sister.
02:39And let me get my best.
02:41Period.
02:42And it's given...
02:42I'm sorry.
02:43I should have been to the top.
02:44We should have been to the top.
02:45So now we're even.
02:46It was the face crack of the century.
02:48Mistress had helped establish their trust behind the agreement, which made the switch especially shady.
02:52The move ultimately ensured that Mistress and Georges advanced to the semifinals.
02:57Girls, the look on Nicole and Carrie's face.
03:00Oh my god.
03:01I will never forget it.
03:03And they can't do nothing about it.
03:06Girl, Mistress, that was a sicked idea.
03:08Thank you, sis, for these two points.
03:11Number 8.
03:11Sarah Lucena tricks Sierra Dawn Thomas.
03:14Survivor, Game Changers.
03:15Sometimes the most dangerous thing in Survivor is letting someone know exactly how much you trust them.
03:20I found something on the first day.
03:23It's called the Legacy Advantage.
03:25For real?
03:26What does that mean?
03:27And he's an immunity idol.
03:29But you can only play to six.
03:31Okay.
03:31But if we can get to six, it can help us.
03:35Right.
03:36And if not, I get to will it to someone and you're going to get a pretty present.
03:40During Game Changers, Sierra Dawn Thomas revealed her legacy advantage to Sarah Lucena, explaining that she planned to will it
03:46to Sarah if she were voted out.
03:48Sarah immediately recognized the opportunity.
03:51Behind Sierra's back, Sarah helped orchestrate her elimination.
03:54I think we need to get Sierra out.
03:57She told me she found a legacy advantage.
04:01Mm-hmm.
04:02And essentially what it is, is it's an immunity idol.
04:05So we got to get her out.
04:07Once Sierra was voted out, she unknowingly followed through on her deal and transferred the legacy advantage to Sarah.
04:13Very hard decision.
04:15I hope you didn't vote for me tonight, but I will be giving it to Sarah.
04:19She was honest with me and real with me out here and deserves to win this game.
04:23So I hope Sarah gets to use it at six and makes a huge move with it.
04:27Sarah had essentially convinced someone to hand her a valuable advantage while simultaneously helping send that person home.
04:33She later used the advantage at the final six to save herself, making Sierra's misplaced trust incredibly valuable to her.
04:3914th person voted out the 7th member of our jury.
04:43Michaela, need to bring me your torch?
04:44I don't see how that made sense, Sarah, but do you, boo.
04:49Good luck, the rest of y'all.
04:51Number 7.
04:52Rob reveals he's a traitor to Maura, The Traitor's U.S. Season 4.
04:56A familiar face from Love Island made the castle especially complicated when Maura Higgins recognized Rob Rausch,
05:02whom she had previously interviewed on After Son.
05:05Oh my god, I was not expecting you.
05:08No?
05:09Jesus!
05:11It's nice to see a familiar face.
05:13Yeah, me too.
05:13You better stick by me.
05:15Maybe.
05:16Their existing connection developed into one of the season's most prominent relationships.
05:20As a traitor, Rob protected Maura and encouraged her to trust him while quietly positioning her as an ideal endgame
05:26partner.
05:26Maura is probably my favorite person that's left.
05:29Also, I don't want her talking to Tara and Johnny.
05:31I don't want them putting crazy ideas in her head.
05:36In the finale, he promised to deal with his fellow traitor, Eric Nong,
05:40reinforcing Maura's belief that they were two faithfuls working together.
05:43Listen to me.
05:45I'm here to go.
05:46I know.
05:48It's awesome.
05:49We're together a bit.
05:52Like...
05:56Rob kept his word by helping remove Eric, a betrayal in its own right.
06:00But then, with only Maura standing beside him, Rob turned to her and admitted he had been a traitor all
06:05along.
06:06I'm so sorry.
06:07I'm a traitor.
06:11I'm serious.
06:13No.
06:16Are you joking?
06:17I'm not.
06:18I'm a traitor.
06:19I've been the whole game.
06:20I've been a traitor.
06:21He walked away with $220,800, while Maura walked away stunned.
06:28Betrayals can be brutal.
06:29That's why the Miz Mojo 24-7 livestream will never betray you in your quest for non-stop entertainment.
06:34Scan the QR code on your screen to join.
06:36You know what?
06:37If I was a traitor, I would have done the same.
06:39Right.
06:39No hard feelings.
06:41Like, I think I'm just in shock.
06:44Number 6.
06:45Ashley sabotages her team.
06:47Squid Game, The Challenge, Season 1.
06:49Everyone takes one turn.
06:5218, 19, 20?
06:53You guys are lucky ducks.
06:55Everyone else has to take one turn.
06:57If they're safe, they stop there, and the next player has to overtake them and make the next decision.
07:04The Glass, Ridge, and Squid Game, The Challenge turned a supposed team strategy into one of the season's biggest arguments.
07:10The group discussed a plan where each player would take a single leap before passing the lead to the next
07:14person, so the risk was shared equally.
07:16When it was Ashley's turn to take the lead from Trey, however, she stayed put and refused to step up.
07:22I'm confused as hell because I don't remember agreeing to this.
07:28I'm not sacrificing myself when I already have a low number.
07:32Forced to keep guessing tiles on his own, Trey took multiple extra leaps and eventually fell to his elimination.
07:39Ashley then continued to cross the bridge herself.
07:42Okay, I'll take it.
07:43One of y'all gonna pass me up.
07:44I'll go now.
07:45I ain't hopping down this whole goddamn bridge.
07:47Her decision sparked major backlash from the other players, who believed she had broken their understanding.
07:52Ashley maintained that she did not agree to the plan.
07:55I don't know these people from a can of paint.
07:57I immediately felt that clicky and I'm irritated as hell.
08:03And also I'm feeling scared because I'm like, they're going to get another chance to like vote people to eliminate.
08:10And they're going to eliminate floaters like me first.
08:13Number five, Vanessa double crosses Austin.
08:16Big Brother season 17.
08:17By the end of Big Brother 17, Vanessa knew keeping Austin around could seriously damage her chances of reaching the
08:23end.
08:24Can I have three minutes with you alone?
08:26No more.
08:27I just want to sit with Liz for a second.
08:30I understand.
08:30Austin was deeply connected to Liz and had multiple relationships Vanessa couldn't control.
08:35After the power of veto was used, Austin became vulnerable and the votes appeared to favor his eviction.
08:40And it's now time for the vote to begin.
08:42As always, neither nominee is allowed to vote.
08:45Vanessa, as head of household, you will only vote in the event of a tie.
08:49Austin was so confident Vanessa would protect him that he wasn't even wearing shoes when he was called to leave.
08:55Vanessa ultimately cast the deciding vote against her longtime ally, sending him out at final five.
09:00You guys, this is brutal for me.
09:02I'm really sorry.
09:02But I came here to play a game and it's a game decision.
09:04I'm sorry.
09:05Austin, I vote to evict you.
09:07His stunt reaction made the betrayal even better television.
09:10The man walked out of the house barefoot, having apparently prepared for everything except the possibility of this betrayal.
09:18I was going to help her get to the finals.
09:19It was locked for her to be in the finals.
09:21She didn't have to scumbag me to do it, but she chose to do that.
09:24She chose to Judas Judas.
09:26So she got me.
09:28I thought I was going to win the game.
09:30And I didn't win the game.
09:31Number four, Boston Rob ambushes Bob the Drag Queen.
09:34The Traders U.S. Season three.
09:36I can't trust Bob anymore, and we got to give the faithfuls some blood.
09:45So what I want to do is blindside Bob the Drag Queen, and I got to do it tonight.
09:53Being a traitor is dangerous enough without having another traitor decide you're the biggest threat in the room.
09:58During season three of The Traders, Boston Rob increasingly viewed Bob the Drag Queen as someone who could expose or
10:03outmaneuver him.
10:04Does anyone feel aggrieved about the fact they don't have a head on top of a statue?
10:09Hey, whatever happens, happens.
10:11I did think that one of the new guys needs a head up there because we all think one of
10:16them might be a traitor.
10:18After Bob made an offhand remark during the challenge, suggesting Boston Rob could be a traitor,
10:23the Survivor legend hatched a last-minute plan to get rid of Bob.
10:27At the roundtable, Rob pulled off the perfect ambush when he suddenly turned the heat on Bob
10:32and publicly accused him of controlling the game.
10:34Ask yourselves who every time there is a decision, there is a deflection.
10:51Bob the Drag Queen.
10:53The strategy worked.
10:55Bob was banished, with the vote even coming from fellow traitor Daniel Reyes,
10:59whom Bob considered his ride-or-die.
11:01Guys, I said I swear to God!
11:06God!
11:14And that was a lie, because I don't believe in God.
11:16I'm a traitor.
11:17Yeah!
11:17I don't believe in God!
11:19Number three, Jesse blindsides Cody with his own idol, Survivor Season 43.
11:25Jesse is on board.
11:26I love that guy.
11:27He's my road dog.
11:28Our trust and our relationship has gotten so, like, forged.
11:32It's unbelievable.
11:33For most of the season, Jesse and Cody looked like an inseparable strategic pair.
11:37Their alliance had survived multiple votes,
11:39and Cody trusted Jesse enough to hand him his hidden immunity idol for safekeeping.
11:43Cody doesn't have his item.
11:46I have.
11:47Who?
11:47He gave it to me.
11:49What if we vote Cody?
11:51Yeah.
11:52I'll play the idol tonight.
11:53As soon as I play it, Carla's gonna get...
11:55She's gonna play her.
11:56She's gonna get spooked.
11:57And she'll play her.
11:58So both idols will go, Cody will go, and then we can take out Carla next.
12:02That trust became Jesse's weapon.
12:04Realizing Cody was a major threat to win the game,
12:07Jesse decided to eliminate his closest ally at the final six.
12:11He convinced the majority to vote Cody out,
12:12then played Cody's idol on Owen.
12:14Protecting someone Cody wanted gone.
12:17I think a couple of us took a look at the social contract.
12:24We decided to call people's bluffs, so I'm playing this for Owen.
12:28Cody was left completely blindsided when Jesse revealed that he had orchestrated the move.
12:33Jesse had not merely voted against his closest ally.
12:35He used Cody's own idol to make sure the betrayal actually worked.
12:39He used to play a role in the world.
12:43He used to play a role in the world.
12:44He used to play a role in the world.
12:44He used to play a role in the world.
12:44Number two.
12:45Naomi Smalls eliminates Manila Luzon.
12:47RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars Season 4.
12:50By the time All-Stars 4 reached its second half,
12:52Manila Luzon had established herself as the season's frontrunner.
12:56She'd won three challenges and seemed to be cruising toward the finale.
12:59Well, I wasn't expecting to be here today, so I'm a little gagged, but with so few girls,
13:06just any little thing can mention the bottom.
13:09Naomi Smalls, meanwhile, had openly expressed admiration for Manila and had even spoken about
13:13how much she idolized her before competing alongside her.
13:16I grew up watching Manila Luzon.
13:18Like, I first started watching RuPaul's Drag Race when I was in junior high,
13:21and that's when Manila was on her first season.
13:24So, it's f***ing wild to be in this position.
13:28That made Naomi's decision particularly startling when she won the lip sync for your legacy
13:33and chose Manila's lipstick.
13:35Manila was eliminated in sixth place,
13:37despite being widely considered a serious contender for the crown.
13:41I'm so sorry that I have to send home...
13:45Manila.
13:48Naomi later explained that she was thinking about the competition strategically,
13:52but the emotional weight of eliminating someone she admired
13:55made the decision one of Drag Race's most memorable betrayals.
13:58I sent Manila home because I wanted to.
14:03Manila was crazy competition, and that's dope.
14:09Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
14:13Eric gives up his immunity.
14:15Micronesia.
14:16The Black Widow Brigade convinced him to forfeit his immunity, then voted him out.
14:20The 13th person voted out in the sixth member of our jury.
14:24Eric.
14:25That's three, that's enough.
14:26You need to bring me your torch.
14:28You guys drive me crazy.
14:32I've lost my reign as dumbest survivor ever.
14:36I should have known better.
14:38Dan evicts Shane.
14:39Big Brother Season 14.
14:41Using Danielle's veto win to evict her showmance,
14:44and Dan's most loyal protector, was a cold move.
14:46And at this point in the game, I think back to the jury house,
14:49and I think of Joe, and I think of Jen,
14:52and they told me there's something big in this house.
14:54You're going to have one shot to break up, and this is that shot.
14:56So Shane, I'm sorry I have to evict you.
15:05Alexis Michelle eliminates Lala Ri, RuPaul's Drag Race All-Stars, Season 8.
15:09Lala kept Alexis in the competition,
15:11only for Alexis to send her home the following week.
15:14I really wish I would have sent her ass home when I had the chance to.
15:17But other than that, I don't have no regrets.
15:19Of course, ultimate goal was to get the crown, the scepter, and the coin.
15:23But you know what? I had one hell of an improvement from Season 13.
15:27And you know what? I am so proud of myself.
15:29Number 1. Johnny Bananas takes the money from Sarah.
15:32The challenge rivals 3.
15:34There's no way that I would have made it to a final and won a final without Sarah as my
15:39partner.
15:40But I feel like Adam in the Garden of Eden right now,
15:43being tempted by this apple hanging from a tree.
15:45Few reality competition betrayals have come with a larger price tag,
15:49or a more complicated history.
15:51Sarah had previously betrayed Johnny Bananas on Battle of the Exes 2,
15:55helping send him into elimination.
15:57So the team I want to pick, unfortunately, is Bananas and Nani.
16:03You're lying, Sarah. Don't f*** around. Don't f*** around.
16:06They executed arguably the most calculated, callous, and heartless move ever in challenge history.
16:13On Rivals 3, the two were forced to become partners,
16:15and over the course of the season, they rebuilt their relationship.
16:18They ultimately won the final together, seemingly completing one of the franchise's greatest reconciliation stories.
16:24Then, TJ revealed the twist.
16:26Bananas could split the $275,000 grand prize with Sarah, or keep it all for himself.
16:32He chose to keep every dollar.
16:35There's no spite, there's no malice towards her.
16:38But I need to, uh...
16:40Please.
16:40...look after myself and invest in my future.
16:43So I'm going to go ahead and take the money and run, TJ.
16:49The decision instantly transformed their repaired relationship into another chapter of their rivalry.
16:54Ashley later made a similar share or steal choice with Hunter on Final Reckoning.
16:59TJ, all those things you said about all the other partners is true,
17:02but this guy's belittled me, put me down, slut-shamed me, and also threatened my life and my family's life.
17:07I'm keeping the money.
17:09Oh my god.
17:11What do you consider the greatest betrayal in reality competition history?
17:15Let us know in the comments below.
