Inside: USA Episode 8 featured the remaining six housemates: Aisha, Zach, Dwight, Ekin-Su, Sydney, and Mark. Soon, they were called to play the Nobody's Safe challenge.

For that, each of the contestants had to choose a safe from one to six. They also had a choice to steal any of their fellow contestants' safes. Ultimately, whoever had the safe with the ticket to the finale would automatically advance to the finale. On the other hand, whoever had an empty safe was to be sent home.

The task ended with the show hosts asking everyone to open their safe. There were only two tickets to the finale. Zach and Aisha were the ones who advanced to the finale challenge, while the rest were eliminated.

Later on Inside: USA, Zach and Aisha were the remaining finalists. The two then participated in the finale challenge. For that, they were given a choice. There were ten colored levers in front of them. Each of them had to choose one specific color and keep it to themselves:

"In this game, the two remaining Insiders will be presented with ten levers each. They will select one lever. Should this lever be pulled by the opposing Insider, their opponent will win. It is their job to convince the opposing Insider to not pull this winning lever."

Aisha chose the color Red while Zach chose Black. Everyone was surprised when Zach revealed his true choice and shared it with Aisha. It would simply mean that if Aisha were to trust him, she would win the prize fund. When she believed what Zach was telling her, she pulled the black lever, and she won the grand prize.

Witnessing Zach's honesty, Aisha got emotional. She took home $303,050.

"Going into this, for me, it felt really important for a female to win. But all day today, the men have shown me...how much they value women, me, just giving me the opportunity. Like, it's not...it's...it's...Oh my God, I'm at a loss for words," said Aisha.

Inside: USA finale ended with a glimpse of Inside: The Reunion, which is now available to stream on the platform.
