00:06It's a brand new season of Celebrity Treasure Island.
00:1116 fresh celebs think they're ready.
00:15Battle ready!
00:17But they have no idea what's coming.
00:20This game just knows how to pull me, you know?
00:23I don't imagine there'll be a coup. I could be wrong.
00:26We are in for the kill today.
00:27Also, I've got an old mate crashing the party.
00:30Miss me?
00:33We're back in the far north.
00:36And this quest is like nothing we've faced before.
00:39A brand new mystery is about to drop.
00:43What matters is that the world collapsed.
00:47Dystopia, it's ruins of civilization.
00:50Banks crumbled.
00:52Gold was the key.
00:53And chaos rules.
00:58The games have begun.
01:01We're all set to get some revenge today.
01:04My face just got attacked.
01:06There are two more celebs waiting in the wings.
01:10Oh my God, I just got shivers.
01:11I have no idea what's going on.
01:15Everyone forward.
01:16Bigger battles.
01:18What a sick freak made this game up.
01:22Wilder meltdowns.
01:24We stole them.
01:25Their team are just the dirtiest players.
01:31Get the out of our face right now.
01:34It makes me feel sick.
01:35And the most emotional season of Celebrity Treasure Island yet.
01:40What the hell are we doing to each other?
01:43Stay in there.
01:44Stay in there.
01:45Stay in there.
01:45Need a minute.
01:47F**k.
01:48I'm sorry.
01:49I'm going to swear.
01:50No more empathy.
01:52This is the game.
01:54Now we have a battle on our hands.
01:57We're not going down without a fight.
02:00Who's got what it takes to snag 100k for their charity?
02:03That's right.
02:04Celebrity Treasure Island is back, baby.
02:28Let's go.
02:55This is Special Thanks for joining us today.
02:56We're going to be waiting for a StarCraft.
02:57oh
03:10Celebrity Treasure Island is back and our sixteen new celebrities have no idea of the twists turns and chaos that's
03:19about to
03:20it then i'm already nervous for the drama because usually i distance myself from it
03:28and now i've gone and put myself right in the boil up pot i mean i didn't come here to
03:34stir
03:34the pot but if the pot needs stirring well damn people think i'm a princess you know because i
03:42wear the tiaras and i love glam and i love dressing up and i love sparkles i don't have
03:48like you know the guns and i probably don't look like the smartest person but i grew up with three
03:54brothers you know i had to fight for everything that i got i always want to come on this i
04:02just
04:02love the show hey it's a pretty good show i've watched it like most seasons and i just want to
04:09like dig up trees like a pirate that's pretty cool like a dream that's a dream job right there you
04:13know
04:13bucket list i'm a family man simple man lives on the coast quiet fishing diving you know my little
04:25life and then anything versus someone else i'm a competitive demon if it's me versus you it's me man
04:37i'm a sports reporter that's where i hope people know me from i'm not a sportsman i'm definitely not
04:43adventurous this is definitely outside my comfort zone like what am i doing here i i don't know
04:51i would love to win this whole thing i think a woman needs to win this so i'm here to
04:56play i'm here
04:57to play to win i am pumped oh i feel that in my cockles eh dude i've done no training
05:06i've done no
05:07training in any i i'm in like city mode right now i don't really know much about how the show
05:13works i've read a lot of wikipedia articles about it i feel like there's a lot of running involved
05:19i feel like there's a lot of rice and beans in the show my fitness is at an all-time
05:23low last refuge
05:25oh i don't know what's happening i don't know what i'm signed up for
05:34i have spent the last few years not being as adventurous as i used to be
05:39so i'm just trying to do things that challenge me and not just be afraid of life i don't be
05:45afraid of
05:45life i don't have a great chance of balance it's less than a foot deep we are about to find
05:50out
05:51whether my idea of coming in here is really dumb or really smart
06:01it was our arrival on the island just wanna march up the beach purposefully turn around
06:08gotcha but what is going on hey we need a medic mate what'd you do getting off the boat i've
06:15done
06:15something through here okay can i have you sitting down well that's a record not even five minutes in
06:22and we're already calling the medic buckle up folks i've really done a mischief to my knee
06:27i haven't even really started the game yet and i'm a lame duck it's like it's so frustrating and
06:33disappointing it's not the pain it's just i don't want to let my team down i'm worried for my team
06:39but sometimes pain can disperse through adrenaline and that's what i'm certainly hoping see a strained
06:48knee might not be the adventure polly had in mind oh jeez but she's not about to let it dampen
06:55her
06:55spirits absolute icon all right back into the action
07:06here they come fresh fearless and totally unprepared just the way i like it
07:12well well well fancy seeing you guys here
07:18the first thing going through my head is holy hell they are so young and beautiful
07:26i am feeling very nervous i'm feeling really excited whoa i saw their team and i was like
07:34we've got this like we've got this which is crazy to say
07:39no my hide am i hit the hiku otika the rugged landscape forming the tail of the legendary fisher of
07:46maui pulled up from the depths of the ocean this is the far north the place of meeting seas
07:53shifting sands and ancient stories home to sacred sites such as tererenga wairua cape renga where
08:01according to maori the spirits of the departed take their final leap into the spiritual realm it is
08:06home to the tribes of muri whenua and we are privileged to stand in this place treat it with respect
08:13carry yourselves with mana and honor the stories it holds i probably should mention my old mate jaden's back
08:23it's good you missed me isn't it yeah yeah it was almost believable i'll take it it's good to have
08:29you back good to be back brie all right team take a good look around these are your people
08:35your island whanau how long you stay whanau that's up to you
08:42live parker's here good to see you mate good to be here your brother chris parker won celebrity
08:49treasure island no pressure no no pressure and he won it right here in this very place okay yeah
08:55i'm crumbling under that pressure chris parker is my older brother who won the iconic season of 2021
09:04tell us the truth did he give you any words of wisdom surely he gave me words of affirmation
09:09because he knows me i think because he knows me really well his advice was more like be present
09:16don't be hard on yourself and he was just like big bro kind of like supportive
09:22vinnie bennett kia jaden you played a young vin diesel in fast and furious are you planning on bringing that
09:28same ride or die energy to the island we'll have to find out won't we i was very vin diesel
09:36i think
09:37people will underestimate my mental game i think they might expect me to just depend on uh you know
09:45the physical and then the brute force kind of side of it all but
09:51no no no we're on they'll see polly gillespie great to see you thank you you have had an
09:59illustrious radio career giving you battle-tested experience and wisdom do you think any of that's
10:05going to help you in this game absolutely not we didn't either david koreos is here or should i say
10:14david chaos mate you're known for being about as calm as a seagull in a chip shop
10:20i just i just clicked i just clicked that took a while but i clicked thank you that's a good
10:24one
10:25that's a good one what's going on up here right now i'm uh i'm cold i'm cold but i'm ready
10:31to warm up
10:31i think the worst thing that could happen is burning bridges with people that i don't know that well yet
10:38the more i get to know someone i feel like that's when my more annoying parts of me come out
10:43i think the
10:44worst thing that could happen is like people getting annoyed with me right if you're listening
10:48carefully there are a few hints in there as to why you've been placed into these two teams
10:54basically we've put everyone with adhd into one team
11:02and your first challenge is to figure out which team that is
11:07obviously i'm kidding kind of blue team you have all been chosen because you carry wisdom of the sea
11:20orange you bring the fury of the skies
11:25that's right guys this season is wisdom versus fury
11:33we like it i got goosies the wisdom and fury thing makes a lot of sense for the two groups
11:40but i interpret that as just old versus young let me explain a little bit more over here on the
11:47wisdom
11:47side we have not one but two tv doctors and as we know doctors have all the answers how's it
11:53going
11:53better rear pretty good not sure we've got all the answers between us we've got all the answers
12:00i'd like to think i'm a little bit of an all-rounder but i'm gonna be as surprised as anybody
12:05else
12:05in terms of what i'm good at doing and what i'm not good at doing i'm a wild card to
12:11me we also have
12:12frank bunce the wise experience give it up people people always keep saying wise but i'm not quite
12:20sure why because you're carrying that stick frank frank bunce is there i've looked up to that guy you
12:26know like i'm just chilling out with frank bunce the all black you know that's pretty surreal frank
12:30you're a cti alumni remind us what year that was that was 2001 i think how you feeling about being
12:37back i'm feeling great actually every time he asks me since he can't remember him

19:42Both Statues down at the same time!
19:45Who's hit the ground first?
19:46Play there, Bec. Play there, Bec.
19:49We're gonna have to go to the VAR for that one.
19:51Yes.
19:53It's a draw.
19:55Good game, good game.
19:55But you know what?
19:57Prop's the point, she's fast.
19:59Alright, after that draw, we still have two points to Kahu,
20:02zero points to Takapu.
20:04There is a lot riding on this challenge.
20:07You've got Harrison Keepe, Georgia Lions for Kahu,
20:11Ria Vandivis, and Frank Funtz for Takapu.
20:18I'm on blue.
20:20I got chased by Frank.
20:22Yeah, he's real scary.
20:27It's just the chess match.
20:28You know, you're just waiting.
20:29Shall I go?
20:30Shall I go?
20:30Shall I move?
20:35He pretty much just put his arm and just knocked it off,
20:37and I was like, man, do whatever you want, honestly.
20:39I love you.
20:41Then I got off and just winked at him.
20:43He poked his tongue out at me.
20:44But, mean.
20:47Can Ria pull the first point for Takapu?
20:50Go on, Ria.
20:51Come on, Ria.
20:53I really want to get a point for my team,
20:56because we are not doing so well.
20:58The wind is blowing.
21:02Fell down.
21:03Every time.
21:05Nice try.
21:05Kahu goes three.
21:07Zip.
21:08Just watch yours, mate.
21:09Watch your statue.
21:13Vinnie!
21:14We are being knocked down.
21:18Left, right and centre.
21:23This could not be going worse.
21:26We have five points to Kahu.
21:28Zero points to Takapu.
21:30Remember, it's first to seven.
21:31We are going to win this.
21:33Huh?
21:33We already made our minds up.
21:35We've already celebrated.
21:39David, what are you doing with the cha-cha?
21:43High five.
21:44Nice, Lui.
21:47Kahu pulls in their first point.
21:50It's a long way back from here,
21:52but it's been done before.
21:54Nice, Ria.
21:54Can Ria get the second point from her team?
21:57They both reach it.
21:58And looks!
22:00Overexerts!
22:01Drops her statue.
22:02Ria takes the second point for Takapu.
22:04It feels really good to get that point.
22:07Good count!
22:08Suddenly it looks like things might turn around.
22:11Takapu now has two points.
22:13Kahu has five.
22:14Let's go, Harrison.
22:15Harrison keeps dipping in again.
22:17And Ben Barrington.
22:19I really think Ben will be our saviour.
22:21He's tall.
22:22He's also muscly and handsome as well.
22:25Be careful of that.
22:26Come on, Benny.
22:27Both men meet in the middle.
22:31Ben drops his statue.
22:35Match point.
22:36Team Mata!
22:38Georgia Lions implementing the moonwalk tactic.
22:40You got it, Georgia.
22:42Russia, Russia.
22:43Got it, Georgia.
22:44In your time, Georgia.
22:44That's it, that's it, that's it.
22:46Block her in.
22:47Oh, who, who?
22:48Oh, who, who!
22:50Oh, who?
22:50Oh, who.
22:50Oh, who?
22:51Pew-few.
22:52Wiis!
22:53This challenge is easy!
22:55A team has won.
22:57Oh, my gosh!
22:57Everyone did so great.
22:596am.
23:00We actually stomp them, aye.
23:01I'm feeling pretty confident about being on the island to be honest. If this is the vibe, it's gonna be
23:06so sick
23:07Congratulations, Kahu, you have taken out the first challenge
23:11You've earned the right to choose which of the two legends you want as your Kaihotu
23:17Very exciting that we're gonna choose our captain. Huge advantage. I think it's pretty important. Are you ready to find
23:23out who those legends are?
23:26Well, you're gonna have to wait until the next challenge
23:32Suspense is my love language
23:35Who could it be? Will it be sports people? Will it be a movie star? Will it be a Kardashian
23:40like
23:41Wouldn't be a Kardashian with that. All right, Kahu, head that way where you'll find your kāinga. Tākapu
23:48Yours will be that way
23:50Settle in. We'll see you very soon for the first team face-off. Get out of here guys. See you
23:54soon
23:57We don't get to choose the other team get to choose. Yeah
24:00It's completely out of our control. We don't have any power
24:17Oh my god
24:23Having just arrived at camp
24:27It looks like we're sort of Glastonbury camping without the mud and without the the pillows
24:33I think I have to be down
24:35You know like I'm sharing a bunk with Frank Bunce like that is nuts. I'm on the top bunk
24:40He's on the bottom bunk and I'm gonna be like hey Frank like we're bunk buddies
24:44I had to take the bottom bunk because there's no way I'm climbing up a ladder
24:46You know and then in the middle of the night I have to climb down and go to the toilet
24:49Fart is on the bottom bunk
24:51Oh, here we go the classic celebrity treasure island camp banter
24:55Fart jokes and bunk chatter truly the soundtrack of day one
25:00Actually, it's probably nicer than the beds
25:02Can you bring us a pillow?
25:03I wonder how kahu are settling in
25:06This is cool
25:07Really?
25:08Oh, this is cool
25:10I am so stoked to see walls on our camp
25:14I have no complaints
25:16There's a sleeping bag, there's a hammock, there's a beach in my backyard
25:20And don't forget an empty bunk
25:23Wait, who's gonna sleep in that one?
25:24Our captain
25:25Oh, captain
25:26Oh, I'm gonna, nah, I'm gonna sleep next to the captain
25:28Oh, I see how it is
25:30Just like whispering sweeten up things
25:32I love my team
25:35We're bonded
25:36Really, really quickly
25:38I'm so happy that
25:40We all work together
25:41But how's about that?
25:43We f***ing won the first challenge
25:45How did you feel when you walked in and saw the other team, like honestly?
25:53I was nervous and then I wasn't
25:55Nah, I was like mean, we're a mean team
25:57I wasn't envious in the slightest
25:59Yeah
25:59Yeah
26:00I didn't expect us to like
26:02Like dominate like that
26:04We, we like he dominated that game
26:06They're also wise, they kinda look wise too
26:09They do look wise too
26:09They do look wise too
26:10But we thought once was fine
26:11Is that old?
26:12You mean old?
26:12Not old, wise
26:13They were wise
26:15Wise, old
26:16It's funny how those words suddenly get mixed up out here
26:19Careful boys, takapu might just school you yet
26:23They are so young
26:25Very young
26:26Very young
26:26Where wisdom and then what?
26:28Theory versus wisdom
26:29Thank you Polly
26:30At least someone was listening
26:32AKA old and young
26:33Alright, I give up
26:36Kahoo young whippersnappers
26:40Takapu old
26:41Whale
26:43Our team has some knee issues and some asthma and this day and the next and we're gonna have to
26:48find a way to overcome that
26:50But, but, but, but
26:52Old age and treachery always wins over youth and enthusiasm
26:56So I have my vote
26:57Well I did in that time
26:58No, no, I'm talking about the long game
27:00The long game
27:02The long game
27:02The long game
27:02I think it's good, we've just got to feel them out a little bit
27:04Yeah
27:05We know what we're up against
27:07That was kind of our team's first test of friction
27:11And I think we're getting through it with a bit of toxic positivity
27:13People are saying, yeah it's really good to lose the first challenge, it's a better story
27:16And all I'm thinking is
27:18So we've lost the abilities, have the first choice of captain
27:22And I'm a little bit worried if I'm honest
27:26What kind of captain are we off?
27:27Do we want someone like, um, athletic or
27:32What if they take it too seriously then?
27:34Nah, well I get, like an athletic person with like a big heart though
27:36We're also gonna pick someone who kind of like fits the vibe as well
27:39I know
27:39I think that's the main thing
27:41You know, like we're not really taking this too seriously
27:43But, and I think that's why we're doing well
27:45Yeah
27:46We're a ragtag bunch of kids
27:48We don't need a stepparent to come in and start making weird crazy decisions
27:52Because that's not how the fairy tales go
27:53Is Valerie Adams available?
27:56Because she'd be handy
27:57If it's someone like a, you know, like a Porsche Woodman, you know
28:00You'd be like instant pick
28:01I think it's gonna be Taika Waititi
28:03He's looking fit, good be him, he's a legend in this field
28:07All I'm thinking is, I hope this captain is a miracle worker
28:11To come in and turn this ship around
28:13Well we've got somewhere to go from here guys
28:16That's right
28:17And that somewhere's up
28:17Yeah, up to them
28:20The Kahu
28:21Kahu have the power to choose out of two legends in their field
28:26Let's just hope they choose wrong
28:44What is this?
28:47Oh
28:48One
28:49One
28:50One
28:50One
28:53One
28:53One
28:53Chanting
28:53Kahu
28:54Welcome to the first team face off
28:56Whoo
29:00I bet the suspense is killing you right now, isn't it?
29:03Yup
29:03Are you ready to find out who these two legends are?
29:06Yeah
29:08Get it in you lot
29:12Oh my gosh
29:13Oh my gosh
29:13Who is it... who is it... who is it
29:16It's Portia Woodland-Wickcliffe and Simon Barnett! Look at them go! Here they come!
29:25Come on through guys!
29:28So pumped to see Portia. I've always admired her.
29:32I'm so stoked to see Simon. Simon, look at his body, his abs.
29:37He wore like an extra extra small shirt. I love that about him.
29:41Nice of you to join us.
29:44Honestly, to be here, it's unbelievable.
29:47I think it's the unknown. It makes me feel really nervous, but also really excited.
29:52Probably more nervous for this than any World Cup I've ever been a part of.
29:57Simon, like Frank Bunce, you're also a CTI alumni.
30:01Why on earth would you put yourself through this again?
30:03I really wasn't sure. I'm getting older and I've been through a few things recently,
30:07so I thought I'll do it, yeah.
30:09About two years ago, I lost my wife to brain cancer.
30:12And I spoke with my daughters when I was asked to do it and they said,
30:16Dad, you know, it's either this or sitting at home.
30:18And I know Jode would relish me being here.
30:20So very mixed emotions, truthfully, very mixed emotions.
30:24Well, Kahu, you have one minute to make your decision. Go.
30:34It would be unreal to have the greatest athlete New Zealand has ever produced on our team,
30:40but since we have lost to Kahu, she is definitely getting chosen first.
30:44We're trusting. We trust the group.
30:47Portia is the obvious choice to be our captain.
30:50I want her to be my captain.
30:52Imagine the sisterhood we could create.
30:54She'd be amazing as our captain.
30:56All right, Kahu, who's it gonna be?
31:16Portia, one of the greatest athletes this country has ever produced.
31:21Oh, come on.
31:24Or Simon.
31:26One of the most ripped men.
31:28One of the most ripped men you've ever seen.
31:31And also a voice that has raised multiple generations of New Zealanders.
31:38Simon.
31:43You felt sorry for me, but I'll take it.
31:46I'm big on charity.
31:48Idiot.
31:49That is, no offence, Simon, a terrible decision.
31:52Takapu.
31:53That means Portia is your Kaihotu.
31:58Thanks, guys.
31:59I think they had completely altered the trajectory of their team with that choice.
32:04Simon, Portia, these are your captain's staffs.
32:07Your mana hotu.
32:09A symbol of leadership and guardianship.
32:11With these, you hold the power to lead.
32:13And the authority to steer your team on this journey.
32:18Come and grab them.
32:20Thank you very much.
32:23I think we picked.
32:24I'm pretty happy with that decision.
32:26All right.
32:27Let's get things moving.
32:28It is time for the wero.
32:29This one's gonna be fun.
32:31It's slingshot volleyball.
32:33Oh.
32:35You'll be battling inside this fenced arena.
32:37One team to each side.
32:38Each team will start with 20 balls on their side and one slingshot.
32:42The Kaihotu must nominate one player to be their shooter.
32:46On my call, shooters will fire balls through the hole in the centre wall, aiming to land them on the
32:50other team's side.
32:51Teammates will collect balls that don't make it through and run them back to their shooter for reloading.
32:55You can fire the other team's balls back through the hole.
32:58The Kaihotu can swap shooters at any time.
33:00But then that shooter is out of the game.
33:03First team to clear all balls from their side wins.
33:07Now I can see by the looks on your faces, you're probably wondering what's on the line.
33:10Yes.
33:11Yes.
33:13Well, today's reward is literally on the line.
33:17It's fishing gear.
33:19Yes.
33:21If we could win that.
33:23Oh my God.
33:24And then if I caught fish for our group.
33:27Oh my God.
33:28My dad would be proud.
33:31Yeah, no, we gotta get this one.
33:33We have got to get it.
33:34There's also another surprise.
33:36Oh.
33:37Oh, hello.
33:38This one's not so nice.
33:40Oh.
33:42Tonight, one of you will be set packing.
33:45Missing out on your shot at the $100,000 for your chosen charity.
33:50So lock in guys, because the game starts right now.
33:55Not stoked about that.
33:57Real vibe killer.
33:59Real vibe killer.
34:00Not fun.
34:01The winning team's Kaihautu will get to choose one person from each side to fight it out in the first
34:07elimination battle tonight.
34:09Oh no.
34:12I, who have just got here, has to go and send someone up for elimination.
34:16It's cruel.
34:17It's really, really cruel.
34:19All right.
34:20Let's do this.
34:26First up shooting for Takapi, we have Zion.
34:30Did not expect them to choose.
34:32What's his name?
34:34Sorry?
34:35Zion.
34:36Their team looks so physically threatening.
34:39And he looks so sweet.
34:42For Kahu, we have Vinny Bennett.
34:45I looked through the hole and I see Vinny.
34:47I thought, awesome.
34:48Again.
34:48I have to come up against this guy again.
34:50Good luck, Vinny.
34:51Come on, team.
34:52I saw the slingshot immediately and I was keen to have a go with it.
34:58And I was like, okay, here we go.
34:59We're about to dominate this one again.
35:01Kwaritha, you ready?
35:02Yes!
35:04Timota!
35:06My God, there is balls flying everywhere.
35:10Boom!
35:10Go!
35:12It's just full on.
35:13Like, I'm looking around.
35:14I'm like, oh my God.
35:15I've got a ball rolling to me.
35:16Grab that.
35:17Pick it up.
35:18Wait for Vinny.
35:18Hand it over.
35:19Oh, nice break.
35:20Oh my God.
35:21It is full on.
35:22How long will it take each man to get their eye in?
35:26See, we're not getting it in.
35:28Oh, shit.
35:29He let go of the slingshot and the ball dropped and the slingshot went further than the ball.
35:32It may look easy.
35:33It's not.
35:35Nothing.
35:36It's going horribly wrong.
35:38Balls aren't even making it into the air.
35:40Yeah.
35:41Oh my gosh.
35:46Let's go.
35:47Let's go.
35:48First person to get a ball through the hole.
35:50Kahu has one ball.
35:52Get it.
35:52Get it first.
35:54Yes, Vinny.
35:55Yes, Vinny.
35:56Yes, Vinny.
35:56Vinny has two.
35:57Has he got his eye in?
35:59Go, Vinny.
36:00Yes, Vinny.
36:01Yes, Vinny.
36:01Yes, Vinny.
36:02Vinny has three over.
36:04Will this be a short challenge?
36:06Vinny's got his eye in straight away.
36:09What has Zion got?
36:11Has Portia made the wise decision in this one?
36:14It's all right.
36:14Take your time.
36:15He's shooting above the hole, to the left, to the right.
36:18It's like, oh, brother.
36:19You want to keep it the same.
36:20Like that.
36:21So that you're learning as it goes.
36:23And I've already gone, Louis, are you ready to step in if Zion doesn't quite crack it?
36:27And he's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:29Sweet.
36:29Go.
36:30Oh.
36:31But then he gets a couple, like just hitting the top of the hole.
36:34Yes, Zion.
36:35So close.
36:36Just to the side of it.
36:37And we're like, okay, you're in there, bro.
36:38You've got this.
36:39Take your time.
36:41Yes.
36:41Yes.
36:42One.
36:43Yes.
36:44Two.
36:44Come on, Zion.
36:45Three.
36:46And we're like, yes, Zion.
36:47You got it.
36:49Yes.
36:50Zion gets another ball through.
36:52That's four for Takapu.
36:53Bing.
36:54Bing.
36:54Bing.
36:55Bing.
36:55Bing.
36:57Oh, that was one that crossed over in the middle.
36:59Did you see that?
37:01Yeah, nice, Vinny.
37:03Kahu has seven balls on the other side.
37:06Takapu has eight balls.
37:08Nice shot, shot.
37:10Vinny evens it up.
37:12Takapu answers straight away.
37:14We are neck and neck.
37:16And another one comes through.
37:18Takahu have an answer.
37:20Nice shot, Vinny.
37:22Nice, mate.
37:23Zion is just smashing it.
37:26Yes.
37:27Yes.
37:28Takapu only have five balls left.
37:30Quick, quick, quick, quick.
37:31They've only got five balls left.
37:33And I decide we need to start giving Vinny the other team's balls.
37:38Kahu loading up one of Takapu's balls.
37:40This is the first time a ball from another team has been loaded.
37:44Yes.
37:44And he gets it through.
37:45Giving Takapu one more ball to fire back.
37:48One for one.
37:48One orange, one blue.
37:49Atta boy.
37:50Yes.
37:50Atta boy.
37:51And then they follow up with their own.
37:53God damn it.
37:54Go, Vinny.
37:55We start getting a couple of them through.
37:57And now we're thinking, okay, we're sending them back.
38:01Yes, sir.
38:02Beautiful.
38:02Beautiful.
38:03But they just keep firing them back through.
38:05Zion gets another ball through.
38:07Four balls left.
38:10Zion is not just a sports reporter.
38:13He is a sports star.
38:15Takapu only have three balls left.
38:17Three to go.
38:18Let's bring it home.
38:19Come on.
38:20Come on.
38:21Yes.
38:22And another one.
38:24Maybe do it a bit stronger.
38:25And that's when I think I started panicking.
38:28Oh, .
38:29I struggled to find the rhythm.
38:31.
38:33It's not hitting.
38:34And Zion found his.
38:36Come on.
38:38Oh, my God.
38:40Oh, damn.
38:41Takapu have one more ball left to fire.
38:44Come on, mate.
38:46Yeah.
38:47Yeah.
38:49Yeah.
38:49Yeah.
38:50Yeah.
38:51Zion, you're a legend.
38:53Takapu.
38:53Portia Woodman leads her team to victory.
38:57Frank Bunce is on one shoulder.
38:59Portia.
39:00Louie.
39:01Polly was there on one leg.
39:02Oh, like, it was just the moment that we needed.
39:05It was, oh.
39:06It was terrific.
39:08Oh, yeah.
39:09That's a shame.
39:10So good, bro.
39:11You did so good, bro.
39:12You did so good, bro.
39:13You did so good.
39:14It really sucked.
39:16Once again, the game becomes a reality when you see how the weight of a challenge is on one person.
39:21Yeah.
39:23Yeah.
39:24And I really felt for the knee and just could see that he was carrying that weight.
39:29You put everything in that.
39:30You held down the floor.
39:30I felt gutted.
39:31I felt like I let my team down.
39:34Now it feels like we're on the back foot.
39:44Kahu might have lost the first face-off.
39:47We're so happy, are you guys?
39:48But spirits are high with the arrival of their newly crowned captain.
39:53Before you enter the whare, we have a little gift to welcome our kaihoutu.
39:58In the manner that is deserving of the kaihoutu.
40:00And so you will never be mistaken as anything but the kaihoutu.
40:04We present to you your crown.
40:07Oh, my gosh.
40:09Yay!
40:16You all right?
40:17You getting this?
40:18Eh?
40:19That is cool.
40:20I'm doing a bit of action.
40:22Yay!
40:25This is a young buck.
40:26That's cool.
40:28Coming to our place.
40:28Thank you, team.
40:29What a lovely team I've got, eh?
40:32I wonder if spirits are as high over the hill.
40:35We did it!
40:40I guess so.
40:43Yes.
40:43To come away with a win, the team is just absolutely pumped.
40:47We feel so good.
40:48And the best thing to come of that is that we got a fishing rod and dive kit for Louie
40:53to go get us some kaihoutu.
40:54And we got a knife!
40:56Yeah!
40:58We can fill it, Vish!
41:00We can actually eat this!
41:03And then I realise, ultimately, I've got to make a really big decision.
41:10First thing I have to do is do this.
41:12This is crazy.
41:14Who's the strongest in our team that we want to put up?
41:21It is absolute tumbleweeds.
41:24Everyone's looking at their feet.
41:27Nobody wants to leave, including myself.
41:31So hard.
41:32Everyone's strong.
41:33Does anyone feel confident with puzzles?
41:39Do you know what I'm scared of most?
41:42I'm really scared that I'm going to hold them back because they've got this lame duck that they're having to
41:48sort of carry through everything.
41:50I don't want that to happen.
41:51I don't want them to be held back.
41:53I feel very strongly about this team and I just want everyone to go all the way.
41:59And do we want to sacrifice one of us?
42:01And if we do, I fully understand that it should be me because I'm injured.
42:04It looks like the captain's love buzz hasn't lasted long at either camp.
42:10The vibes are low.
42:13All of us are pretty stressed because we don't know who's going to go up for elimination.
42:18Who do we think is going up tonight?
42:20Like, if we were to guess, do you think that there's someone that—
42:24Well, it's Portia deciding, right?
42:26Yeah.
42:26But I mean, there's so many different things we'll probably—
42:29It's so nerve-wracking.
42:31I don't know what Portia's thinking over there.
42:34I don't know if they're looking over at all of us.
42:37I don't know if they would think of me as a threat.
42:40Oh, I'd be honoured if you did.
42:42I'd be bragging for years to come.
42:45I'm worried.
42:46Like, I feel like Portia might be like a girl's girl.
42:48Like, have all the, like, wahine's back.
42:50Or they want to take out the strongest.
42:54Do you reckon?
42:57I feel like I may have, despite my efforts, put a target on my back.
43:03Viri, how are you feeling, bro?
43:06You know, not the best, to be honest.
43:08A part of me felt really, really responsible that we had lost.
43:15Vinny, you were the man.
43:16Yeah.
43:17Yeah, Vinny.
43:18Very good.
43:20Hold it down.
43:21Hold it down.
43:23I really wanted to encourage Vinny, because he's a sensitive guy.
43:26And I could see right off the bat, he was really upset.
43:29I can honestly say, put your hand up if you think he would have done a better job.
43:33Nah.
43:34Nah.
43:35So there's your answer, because none of us would have done a better job.
43:37Yeah.
43:38So, don't you worry about that.
43:40They would have won earlier.
43:42Yeah.
43:42Yeah, I mean that.
43:43I actually mean that.
43:44Simon, he's a lovely, lovely man.
43:48We're all extremely grateful to have him.
43:50Thank you, Vinny.
43:51No, I mean it.
43:52Otherwise, you're just too hard on yourself.
43:54I actually crossed paths with Simon about 20 or so years ago.
43:58It really played a part in, you know, completely changing my life.
44:04And, um, maybe this is my only chance to tell him.
44:08I used to go to this youth group, just in New Brighton.
44:10Yep.
44:11I would have been about 14.
44:13I was probably at my naughtiest.
44:17It's a bad, I was, I was, I gave my mum a headache.
44:21You came in and you pointed straight to me.
44:24Really?
44:24I wanted to come up because you said that God was telling you that I would be a big influence
44:29one day.
44:31And, you know, I never grew up with a father.
44:35I never had another man giving that confidence or belief in myself.
44:42But you, you really played a part in that.
44:46And, um, I can't, I really can't thank you enough, man, honestly.
44:52And I just had to share this with you no matter what happens to me.
44:55That's, look, honestly, you don't know how much that means.
44:58Because that's why I went to those youth groups and spoke.
45:00Because I wondered, can I make a difference?
45:03And that's what I wanted, so.
45:04I'll tell you right now, you made a difference moment.
45:07Oh, mate.
45:09You know, who knows where I would have gone without, you know,
45:13that little bit of support there from another dude.
45:15Yeah.
45:17I hope you don't go now.
45:19We've got a lot of talking to them.
45:21No, no, no.
45:22Well, guys, I'm sorry to say somebody is going home.
45:26And it's time to find out who that might be.
45:34I want to be sick, to be absolutely honest.
45:38I don't know anybody.
45:40I haven't seen anything.
45:41And I have to make this decision.
45:43Like, my hands are shaking for it.
45:46I honestly have not here.
45:48My heart is breaking right now that I have to have someone eliminated today.
45:59Next time.
46:03Tonight, one of you will be the first to fall.
46:05And I have to make this decision.
46:07Like, my hands are shaking for it.
46:08A shocking elimination.
46:11A perplexing face-off.
46:13Stand back!
46:14Oh, f***.
46:16North.
46:17I think we made the puzzle too hard this time.
46:20Look down this camera right now.
46:22And a celebrity treasure island first.
46:25Love you, Jenny.
46:26Am I firing soon?
46:28A falar stand?
46:28No, Fred, it's a pity in the air.
