How Far Did These Montanans Make It on Netflix’s Wonka?
"Contestants receive chocolate bars that may contain a Golden Ticket, those who find one bring a partner into the factory. Once inside they take part in physical games, tests of judgment, and various temptations built around elements from the original story." -Wonka's The Golden Ticket Wikipedia page

Montana's Taylor Schilling Finished Runner-Up
Our Montana contestants were so close they could almost taste the victory. Schilling finished as runner-up, and Bryce finished 5th and was "terminated" in episode 8.
I don't mean to rub salt in the wound for Taylor and Bryce, but son of a gun, that hurts! Taylor made it all the way to the end phase called "Perceiving Your Jury," and came up just short.
Truth be told, I have no idea what any of this means.

The real punch in the gut was that the winner took home a grand prize of $3 million paid out over 30 years.
Again, I don't want to rub salt in the wound, but...
Oh. My. God.
Regardless, congratulations on a runner-up performance, Taylor. I don't want to watch the show because it looks like trash, and recreating Gene Wilder's voice through AI doesn't sit well with me, but hey, congratulations all the same.
