‘Deal or No Deal Island’ Cast Gets Cut Throat in Axe Throwing Challenge — And a Feud Brews: 1st Look (Exclusive)

The Deal or No Deal Island season 2 cast is not playing around when it comes to getting immunity.

“I have to throw an axe into my face,” Dr. Will Kirby explains in Us Weekly’s exclusive first look at the Tuesday, January 28, episode. “I really need immunity. If I don’t I’m going to be out pretty quickly.”

In the video, the contestants are challenged by the banker in an axe-throwing competition. Each remaining player has their picture on a target with two bullseyes in the dead center. If an axe makes it directly into the target circles, they’ll be safe from facing off against the banker in the nightly game of Deal or No Deal. If the axe doesn’t land in the zone, there’s a chance they will go home.

The Big Brother legend declares that the “pressure is on” as he steps forward to throw his axe. Dr Will tosses the tool aiming for his face. While the axe hits Dr. Will’s face, it’s resting just outside the bullseye.

“A hit,” host Joe Manganiello declares, adding that while it was “not on the bullseye” another one of the players could try to hit Dr. Will’s face again and attempt to hit the center.

Joe then calls up Alexis Lete — who goes by her last name — to go next. Instead of going for immunity for herself, Lete decides she’s going to help out ally Phillip Solomon.

“I think Phil is a really likable guy,” the former volleyball player says in a confessional. “He’s an athletic trainer. I think he’s someone who could do really well in this competition.”

Lete throws the axe and hits right outside of the bullseye. Joe calls up Parvati Shallow to toss next. The former Survivor winner explains that she’s going to try to keep herself safe after castmate La Shell Wooten hinted she was a potential target.

“La Shell came up to me and said that I’m the biggest threat,” Parvati says in a confessional. “So it’s possible that people have me in their targets. And clearly, I’m a threat.”

Parvati hurls the axe at her portrait and directly hits it in the center. Several of her fellow competitors applaud the reality legend for making the impressive shot.

“There you go easy!” Joe shouts as David Genat gives Parvati a subtle thumbs up.

Next, Phillip is called up to play and he explains he’s going to go aim for Seychelle Cordero, who has found herself on the bottom of the totem pole so far.

“I think I’m gonna go for Seychelle, just based on trying to get the bottom two instead of the top two,” he explains of his strategy.

Phllip hits Seychelle’s photo but nowhere near the bullseye. As Seychelle gears up to take her turn, she declares to Joe she’s aiming for herself to avoid being in the bottom — which rubs Phillip the wrong way.

“My axe is in there. She looks over at me as if to be like I’m sorry,” Philip shares. “And I look over at her to be like, ‘Hey quick question. What the f—?’”

Seychelle lightly tosses the axe and hits directly into the center of the target. The rest of the players are astonished but also cheer her impressive shot. Joe looks surprised himself and gives her a high five. The flight attendant approaches Phillip to explain her decision.

“I had to try to be safe, and I hope you understand that,” Seychelle says to Phillip who ultimately gives her a side hug before saying, “Yeah I got you.”

Deal or No Deal Island airs on NBC on Tuesdays at 9 p.m. and is available to stream on Peacock the next day.
