Netflix's new reality show The Trust: A Game of Greed premiered on Wednesday, January 10, 2024 with its first four episodes of the season. We're introduced to the 11 cast members who will be competing for their share of a $250,000 prize pool. But the catch is that the cast is allowed to vote each other out of the house in order to get a larger share of the money. The second batch of episodes includes several shocks and surprises. Who makes it to the end of episode 7 and who gets voted out?

Three players exit this house this week

After Bryce revealed his secret to the house, that he's a millionaire, it didn't take long for him to get voted out of the house. Though, to be fair, most of the cast already suspected he was the millionaire and the fact he got voted out was more due to the way he acted like he was suffering because he had to hide his Armani or whatever.

Next to leave the house was Jay, who actually left of her own accord after receiving a nice offer in the vault. She received $25,000 on the stipulation that her time in the house came to an end and Jay accepted.

Finally, Winnie was sadly voted out of the house after most of the cast (the boys) banded against her and voted her out. Now there is a precarious divide between the remaining players and it looks like either Tolú or Lindsey could be the next go leave.

Two players went home this week on The Trust: A Game of Greed

The house started with eleven players but by the end of the fourth episode, it was down to nine! During the first four episodes, two people got voted out, Juelz Morgan and Simone Stewart.

Juelz got voted out very early in the game and his departure came as quite the shock, but not as shocking as Simone's elimination purely because she'd gotten the chance to stick around longer and Simone's absence was an accident.

Jay, or "Mama" Jay as she's called by the cast, decided to vote out Simone because she felt Simone was manipulative. Jay told the girls she was planning to vote someone out, but didn't reveal who and Julie assumed Jay was going to vote Jake out of the house. Wanting to protect Jake, Julie also cast a vote for Simone, hoping that her vote would cancel out Jay's vote. Of course, Julie didn't realize Jay had also voted for Simone, meaning Simone had two votes and was subsequently kicked out of the house.

A lot of players, including Jake, were really upset when Simone was voted out as they felt she was a sweetheart who deserved to be there especially because she's a single mother. The reaction to her being voted out was more emotional that for Juelz, although many were unhappy with him getting voted out as well.

The finale of The Trust: A Game of Greed premieres next Wednesday on Netflix. Add the series to your watchlist now.
