Val, the all seeing all knowing presence who runs Solitary, takes us on a tour of the roller coaster of season one, shows us what kind of crazies volunteer for Solitary 2.0., as well as a peak behind the scenes and a sneak preview of season two.
The nine contestants enter their Pods, meet Val, and start the experiment.
The contestants continue their first treatment and then do a brand new test. Finally they must lay on a bed of nails until they are told to get up or until they quit.
As the contestants finish the bed of nails treatment, someone has been elimated. They do a brand new test which is a puzzle in a horror movie, and start a new treatment. They must eat until they quit or until they throw up. Someone else is elimated.
The contestants finish the eating treatment. They enter a brand new test, which Number 6 can not participate in and begin to start the next treatment. Number 6 leaves his Pod and is elimated from Solitary.

The final four guests are put into darkness, and confront their fears. The next treatment is a fiery experiment of pain.

Join the nine former pod people, including the grand-prize winner, as they look back on their time inside their octagon-shaped cells. Get the inside scoop on what it was like dealing with their solitude and the infamous Val.
The experiment begins where season one ended as the guests are locked into individual black boxes. One guest freaks out and quits before the first elimination treatment even begins, but when it does, the footbed-of-nails has everyone else suffering the agony of da' feet.
Val surprises her guests with a small companion in Solitary. But her kindness ends quickly as the guests' sanity and stamina are tested trying to memorize a twisted message. The winning guest is spared an exhausting dance with a weighted dummy that drags everyone else down.
A child's game becomes the most frustrating test yet as the guests try to steady their nerves and build an impossibly long chain of dominoes. Then Val turns up the cruelty in a treatment that blends the guests' favorite foods together into a vile smoothie that will "throw up" one of them for an exit from Solitary forever.
Val's Solitary Auction puts the guests at each other's throats as they fight over comforts for themselves...and discomforts for each other - before Val's brutal "grump rope" treatment causes another guest to bite the dust.
A treadmill challenge gives their little friends freedom. Then Val uses restraint.
A test of mathematical madness teaches one Solitarian that quitters never win. Then Val spins one guest out of control and out of Solitary forever in Solitary's latest Treatment.
Val puts the remaining guests under lock and key... fifty times over. Then a relentlessly puzzling treatment with lots of ups and downs will help shape the final two.
The final two Solitarians compete in a vicious gauntlet of tests that pushes one to their limit. Then Val's Hammock from Hell promises to destroy one guest and make the other fifty thousand dollars richer.
The nine guests from "Solitary 2.0" meet for the first time to reveal their secrets and share their experiences from their pods. Hosted by Todd Newton.
The experiment begins with a shocking twist. This season’s guests enter Solitary two by two and must fight for their very existence from the moment they arrive. Then two guests are sacrificed at the Solitary altar before this 90-minute special concludes.
The remaining eight guests are put to the test - a nearly impossible one with over forty-thousand possible solutions - before they feel the sting of forty excruciating "Flesh Clips" in Val’s most painful treatment ever.
The agonizing conclusion of Val’s “Flesh Clip” treatment leaves the guests battered and bruised. Their nerves are further tested by dozens of snapping mousetraps. One guest unravels before an aromatic final-assault drives them all senseless.
A shocking showdown sends another guest home forever. And a microscopic message has them all speaking in tongues. Later, they devour a feast of cruel confections that makes one guest’s parting a sweet sorrow.
Val’s mind games force the guests to question their sanity, and a gruesome test makes animals out of them all. Two guests earn freedom and a trip to "Club Val", while the other three are literally brought to their knees.
Change is good for some guests…and bad for others, as two break down and two bulk-up to win a suffocating test. Then, a new Valphabet teaches them that “P” is for “Painful” and “Q” is for “Quit”.
Val’s most macabre challenge yet has the final three guests attend their own funeral - they build their own coffins before having to lie in them. Later, Val spins a spine-tingling treatment that leaves two lives cliffhanging in the balance.
The conclusion to Val's relentless experiment begins with one guest falling from grace. The final two go head-to-spinning-head in an "a-maze-ing" test that gives one of them an advantage in the electrifying final treatment.
Val's new guests are shocked to find themselves locked in chains. The surprises keep coming when one guest is quickly eliminated... only to be replaced by a Solitary veteran.
The guests are under the gun in Solitary’s version of "Russian Roulette" before Val's most perverse treatment ever forces the guests to literally beat themselves up.
The guests get scrambled trying to text on Val's "computer from hell," and life in solitary is so hard one guest may even quit before the treatment; a fiendishly twisted game of Twister.
Lack of food, sun and sleep in Solitary makes the guests question their sanity before they go completely ape in a treatment that forces them to eat and run ... and eat... and run... until someone gives up for good.
Val redecorates the pods into cells that make the guests meager living space even more unlivable; before a thrilling prison break earns one guest freedom.
The Guests step into the Matrix as Val turns a virtual maze into a mind-bending reality, before a skull crushing treatment of medieval proportions.
