What happened on Deal or No Deal Island season 2 episode 7?

CK eliminates Seychelle

As CK faced the Banker at the start of Deal or No Deal Island season 2 episode 7, she asked Phillip Solomon if he was silent because Family Alliance member David saved him. In response, Phillip stated that he would not take the moral high ground if someone attacked him and instead promised to retaliate even more aggressively.

After apologizing to Philip, CK soon shifted her focus to the Banker, ultimately accepting his $925,000 deal. She went on to win, becoming the first player to defeat the Banker twice and adding more money to the prize pot. Ultimately, she chose Seychelle Cordero for the elimination.

Before making her exit, Seychelle confronted CK stating that she picked her for elimination because she was scared of her, calling her a "cheat with a flat as*."

The integrity test challenge

In Deal or No Deal Island season 2, episode 7, the remaining eight contestants were split into two teams for the challenge. Alex Lete led the Blue Team, which included Phillip, Parvati, and La Shel, while CK captained the Green Team, consisting of David, Dickson, and Dr. Will.

The team had to collect briefcases from the shoreline to win the challenge, and the team with the most amount would win and get themselves immunity. The challenge also tested the respective captain's integrity as they had access to the ledger with case values and the team members had to decide if they wanted to trust their leaders.

Blue Team finished the task with $10 million, while Green Team was only able to secure $8.75 million. Green Team soon got furious at their captain CK when they learned that she took the immunity and placed her teammates in danger.

David faces the Banker and breaks his promise

The winning team captain Lete chose David to face the banker and he promised her that if he won, he would pick Dickson for elimination. David made the same promise to Dr. Will, however, the Big Brother alum was skeptical of him.

After selecting Case #7 as his starting case, David rejected the Banker’s first two offers. In the end, the Deal or No Deal Island star accepted a $999,999 deal—a wise decision that secured his safety from elimination. Ultimately, David broke his promise to eliminate Dickson and instead chose to send Dr. Will home.
