Twana Barnett's performance on the Beast Games

Twana came into the spotlight in episode 3 when she was chosen as one of the four leaders. She had the opportunity to take home a million dollars at the cost of her fellow teammates, but she chose not to, proving her worth as a team player.

Later in episode 7, Twana was once again put on the spot when she had to decide the fate of four of her cast mates by eliminating two. Ultimately she made a tough choice in the Elimination Train challenge and eliminated one of her closest friends Player 697.

In episode 8, the 10 remaining contestants had to choose a leader for their next challenge and they chose Twana considering the difficult choice she had to make in the earlier challenge.

With her appointed leadership, Twana was given the authority to go first and select any amount from a million-dollar container. However, instead of abusing her power, Player 830 chose $100K, hoping that the other nine contestants do the same and equally divide the total prize.
