Netflix's Million Dollar Secret concluded on April 9, 2025, with the finale episodes. Viewers witnessed Cara Kies winning the show after a suspenseful finale. Before that, fans enjoyed various gameplays from different participants.
One of the participants was Chris Allen, who developed quite a bond with his fellow female contestant, Sydnee Falkner. While Sydnee was in the game until episode 8, Chris was eliminated earlier, during the sixth episode. Throughout the game show, viewers witnessed Chris developing his friendship with Sydnee.
Referring to that, game show fans criticized the male cast member for losing his focus on "the entire plot." They took to the social media platform X and shared their thoughts on Chris, his relationship and "obsession" over Sydnee, and how his focus on revealing Sam as the millionaire had been forgotten.
A fan wrote on X:
"Chris started off well and lost me when he obsessed over Sydnee forgetting the game. He was so close to flipping Sam's game but he lost the entire plot. #MillionDollarSecret."
Another Million Dollar Secret fan referred to Chris as a "pick me" and commented:
"Chris on #MillionDollarSecret is such a pick me towards Sydnee and it's so."
A netizen reacted to Sydnee and how, because of her, some of the male cast members "forgot" the game:
"Sydnee is one gorgeous woman, I tell ya. No wonder some of the men forgot they were playing for a million dollars #MillionDollarSecret."
Another fan commented about Chris being in "love" with Sydnee:
"Chris is sooo in love w Sydnee my goodness #MillionDollarSecret."
A netizen commented about Chris's voting against Sydnee:
"#MillionDollarSecret Chris cannot vote Sydnee out for being a smart and "dangerous" player but was willing to vote Lauren out when she was called a "dangerous player" and not the millionaire. Boy, she has you!!!"
A Million Dollar Secret fan questioned the reason why Chris was in the game show:
"Is Chris here for $1M or for Syd ?? #MillionDollarSecret."
A netizen reacted to Chris and his behavior toward Sydnee:
"Chris falling all over himself around Sydnee is making me want to vomit. Also, she's not smart. She's playing a super dumb game. #MillionDollarSecret."
Million Dollar Secret: Chris was "whipped" by Sydnee
During the fifth episode of Million Dollar Secret, participants, including Sam, Cara, Lydia, and Kyle, talked about who could be the millionaire. The group also discussed the upcoming elimination.
While Sam shared her concerns about Chris, she mentioned that he would never say Sydnee is the current millionaire. Listening to that, Cara stated:
"I'm sorry. I hope Chris looks this back and sees how whipped he is by her."
Agreeing to Cara, Sam stated:
"He's so whipped."
While they were discussing Chris's behavior, he and Sydnee had a private conversation. He told her he didn't know how to save her from the next elimination.
"I love you. Like, I really don't love the thought of you not being in the house. I seriously don't, because I like being around you, and I like interacting with you. Like, 100%."
Later on in the game, Chris faced elimination in the sixth episode while Sydnee was one of the four finalists. She was eliminated during the eighth episode, after which the top three finalists remained in Million Dollar Secret.
