Tempting Fortune: Season 2, Episode 2

2 - 2: Episode 2

The epic competition with a twist continues. Paddy McGuinness hosts as 12 strangers endure a gruelling 18-day trek through the hostile tropical jungle of Langkawi in Malaysia, to win a share of £300,000, with only basic equipment and rations to help them. To keep the prize pot intact, they must resist the temptations thrown in their way. Any money they do spend on luxuries will mean the whole group loses out. In this second episode, after just two days of trekking, the tough jungle conditions push one competitor to breaking point. The 11 remaining fortune-seekers are split into three separate camps for 24 hours, leaving them with no clue whether the others have given in to temptation or not. As trust breaks down, Imani, Tomasz and Vicki's group worries their campmates. Each group is tempted with a luxurious alternative to sleeping on hard wooden boards: a glamping experience, complete with midnight feast. For Vicki, who's struggling to eat the basic rations and exhausted by the gruelling treks, it's hard to resist. But will any of her group be swayed? Meanwhile, when the fortune-seekers face a leech-infested trek through murky waters, will anyone take up the offer of an air-conditioned taxi ride to their next campsite? And when a pub appears in the middle of the jungle, one person's actions cause a riot among the group.
