Netflix’s ‘Million Dollar Secret‘ provides the audience with drama, strategy, and even an impressive million-dollar prize. Although most of the contestants introduced in the first season chose to go against each other in the battle, Corey ultimately chose a different approach. From the beginning, he had a fierce mindset and a deep personal motivation that he had been fostering for months. He was confident in overcoming others’ judgments and gossip and accepted it as a part of the battle. He had realized that just depending on a strategic play would not bring him victory.
Corey Niles Stuck to His Viewpoint From Day One of the Show
When Corey Niles arrived at The Stag, he did not mind if any contestants misunderstood him. His social and bright nature did not take much time to win over others, and he quickly started bonding with Sydnee, Phil, and Chris. These connections proved to be useful as the show unfolded. During the first activity, he won with his sharp instincts, earning his place as one of the participants to enter the trophy room. However, this came with a cost since it was revealed that the millionaire was one of the six individuals present in the room. So, he found himself under the suspicion of his fellow contestants. Meanwhile, he had suspected that Sam was the millionaire.
As the competition progressed, Corey’s intuitions told him that Se Young was the actual puppet master. Her habit of always searching for clues only made his belief stronger. However, during the second elimination, it was revealed that she was not the one. This left Corey completely baffled because it seemed clear as a day to him. Eventually, when Lauren dropped the big bomb that she was the millionaire, he felt eerie about her. Hence, the reality star ended up in an alliance with Sydnee, Phil, and Chris to vote against Lauren for the next elimination night. He succeeded, but his trust in his alliance began fading as the days passed.
Not only was Phil clearly the next millionaire and subsequently eliminated, but Corey couldn’t figure out the complex game Chris was playing and why, leading him to vote against the latter too. That’s how he found himself in the top 6, only for the game to then get harder as he didn’t trust anyone except himself, a feeling that grew tenfold following a double elimination. That’s when he became sure Sam was the millionaire, but the duo subsequently worked together, with Cara’s help, to eliminate Sydnee considering how strong she was. Corey wasn’t right in his assumption, but he still played the game and actually got really close to winning the $1 million, but alas, Cara played the game just a little better. He essentially was the runner-up since he did have the money in his box for a few fleeting moments.
