00:01Previously on Celebrity Treasure Island.
00:04Here they come, fresh, fearless and totally unprepared.
00:09Getting off the boat, I've done something through personally.
00:13Fourteen celebrities arrived in the far north to meet their new teams.
00:17Orange, your team is Kahu.
00:19Blue team, Takapu. Wisdom versus Fury.
00:23I interpret that as just old versus young.
00:26A surprise twist meant the very first battle.
00:31Presented power to choose a legendary captain.
00:36Portia, one of the greatest athletes this country has ever produced.
00:40Or, Simon.
00:43Simon.
00:45Idiots.
00:46But in the first team face off, it was Takapu who took control.
00:51Snatching a massive day one advantage we've never seen before.
00:55The winning team's Kaihotu will get to choose one person from each side to fight it out in the first
01:01elimination battle tonight.
01:03Oh no.
01:05It's really, really cruel.
01:06I feel like I may have put a target on my back.
01:26Yeah.
01:52I might have put it on my back.
01:55So I'm the one-a-guiled team.
02:21It's only day one on Celebrity Treasure Island.
02:25And we've already thrown more twists and turns at these teams than they've bargained for.
02:30And now one contestant has to choose who's going up for elimination.
02:37Kia ora. Take a seat.
02:40Best of luck, Portia.
02:45Honestly, I have no idea who I'm going to put up.
02:50One challenge under my belt and I have to make this decision.
02:53Like, my hands are shaking for it.
02:58I guess I'm going to have to make this decision when I get up there.
03:04Real vibe killer. Real vibe killer.
03:06And it's freaking me out.
03:09Harrison, he's getting stressed.
03:11Vi said he's definitely not getting put up.
03:12He hasn't shown any of his strengths yet.
03:16Whatever happens, love you guys.
03:18Yeah, love you guys.
03:20I am stressing for Vinny.
03:23I do have a strong feeling that it will be me.
03:26I'm not ready to go.
03:28Not before even spending a night with these people.
03:33Welcome to elimination.
03:35Tonight, one of you will be the first to fall.
03:38Leaving the island and the game.
03:43And the power to decide who fights.
03:46Rest in one person's hands.
03:47Portia, come on up.
03:50My heart is breaking right now that I have to have someone eliminated today.
03:57Portia, you've only been in this game for an afternoon.
04:01How difficult was this decision to make?
04:03Oh, it's extremely difficult.
04:06I've created a connection.
04:08Not only for my team, but even getting to know the opposition.
04:11It's not been easy.
04:13Alright, Portia.
04:15From Team Kahu, who will be the first person going up for elimination?
04:19Okay.
04:28So, Sammy.
04:31We're going to put you up.
04:34Not at all what I was expecting.
04:36I'm not prepared for this.
04:39Alright, Portia, in from your own team.
04:41I don't know how she's going to make the decision.
04:44I just know that it's going to be me or Ben.
04:51Ben, I believe in you.
04:53I'm going to put you out there too.
04:58Got this, Benny.
04:59I think I know what this challenge is going to be.
05:04And at least I'm going to have a pretty good chance.
05:07Sammy.
05:09Talk me through your thoughts and feelings.
05:11Um, I mean, I'm flattered if you think I'm a threat or if you think I'm easy pickings.
05:16Either way, you thought about me and I love that you thought about me for a while.
05:21But I am, obviously, I'm pretty nervous.
05:24Um, I just hope that my team has faith in me and that I'll pull through.
05:29Well, battlers, this is a game of focus and control.
05:35Each player must stack five blocks on their platform, then pull back on the rope to keep them standing.
05:41You must then move back down the rungs one at a time, keeping those blocks standing.
05:46If at any point the blocks fall, you must start again.
05:50The first person to reach the end of their ladder wins.
05:53Winner stays in the game and gets a valuable advantage.
05:57Loser goes home.
05:59Missing out on the $100,000 grand prize for their charity.
06:03Sammy, Ben, take your marks.
06:08The tallest man I've ever seen stands up next to me.
06:11So whatever strengths I may have had, he's probably got that doubled.
06:16Ben, tell us who your charity is.
06:18It's Heart Kids New Zealand.
06:19Heart Kids have been wrapping support around the 12 kids born in New Zealand every week with a congenital heart
06:25defect.
06:25And I'm very proud to be standing up here representing them.
06:31And Sammy.
06:32I'm playing for Annie Bloom.
06:34I grew up with scoliosis, so I decided to have found a charity that would support those affected by scoliosis,
06:40as well as our youth in New Zealand living with disabilities.
06:45Come on, Sammy.
06:49Fighting for your place in this game.
06:51Ben.
06:53Sammy.
06:56See you, Mata.
06:58All right.
07:01And both players are off.
07:03Ben is first to get his blocks on his platform.
07:09They need five, and then they have to work their way back down the ladder.
07:14Ben, getting a feel for those blocks.
07:17The way to win this is very clear to me.
07:20I have to use my strength and I have to use my body weight to keep those two ropes as
07:24taut as I possibly can.
07:27Can he make it down the first rung?
07:32Geez, Louise.
07:34Struggling to get five blocks standing.
07:38I'm not mentally prepared the way that their team would be, but I definitely want to give this my all
07:44and I want to stay here.
07:51Sammy lands her fifth block.
07:57Ben, pulling away now.
08:01I'm trying to balance it while copying his method a little bit.
08:09Sammy's blocks fall.
08:10She'll have to start again.
08:13And it's not working for me the way it is for him.
08:16Sammy, feeling the pressure as she builds back her blocks.
08:21Ben, super focused.
08:24Sammy starts to make her way back down the rungs.
08:27Sammy, still fighting.
08:29She's still in this.
08:30That's it, girl.
08:33Ben has one more rung to go.
08:40Take it slow.
08:46Three, two, one.
08:50Ben wins the challenge, staying in the game.
08:55Sammy, going home.
08:57Well done.
08:58It's not on you, don't worry.
08:59Yeah, it's gutting.
09:01It's really sad.
09:03He put up such a good fight and I thought I could do better.
09:09But it just wasn't my challenge.
09:14Sammy.
09:15No one wants to be the first person to go home,
09:18but it is in no way a mark on you as a player.
09:22Personally for me, in the challenge earlier today,
09:24you were a standout.
09:27By the looks of it, you're going to be deeply missed.
09:31Do you have any final words?
09:33Oh, I love my team so much.
09:36I'm just getting emotional because you're all crying over there.
09:39Stop!
09:40Stop!
09:42I've had the best time,
09:43even if it was only one day.
09:51Sammy, your time on Treasure Island has come to an end.
09:54Haere rā, tu rō hua waiki.
09:57Say your goodbyes, then head on out.
10:00This has been an amazing opportunity and I will remember it forever.
10:04I'm proud that I was able to represent my charity.
10:07Bye!
10:08A lot of people, they don't know they have scoliosis.
10:11Awareness is the most important thing and I'm really proud to represent that here.
10:25I'm the reason she got put in that challenge.
10:27I'm the reason she's lost.
10:30I'm the reason she's going home and she can't do any more for her charity.
10:33I am so heartbroken, but I also have to think that this is a game I have to come back
10:40and do what's best for my team.
10:45Ben, congratulations.
10:46That was incredible.
10:48You were focused the whole time.
10:50I didn't, this is a real shock.
10:52I didn't expect what would hit me this deep to see someone from the opposing team sent home, but personally
10:59and for my team, I'm really proud.
11:05You have also earned yourself a little advantage.
11:12Nice.
11:14Go take a seat.
11:24Just 15 of you remain on Treasure Island.
11:27Every day you play is one step closer to victory and the all-important treasure.
11:33Head back to your kainga.
11:35Rest up.
11:36Hea popo.
11:37Hea popo.
11:38Hea popo.
11:42Day one.
11:43And they've shown us their cards.
11:46At least we got the job done.
11:47We got our people home.
11:49The games have begun.
11:52Man, that's actual ruthless.
11:55So, Ben, are you going to share that advantage with me that you just won?
11:59Oh, hey.
12:00Oh, yeah.
12:01What did you get?
12:03Or you could just share it with your whole team, I guess.
12:06Reward.
12:08Jealous of what the other team just snagged.
12:12Snatch it for your team.
12:15Oh, I can see it now.
12:17They celebrate.
12:18They've all hugged.
12:18They've won burgers.
12:19And it's like...
12:22Oh, my God.
12:23It's brutal.
12:24That is brutal.
12:25It is.
12:28I'd keep that a secret for now, Ben, as I don't think Kahu is ready to hear the newsflash.
12:37You guys got along like a house on fire, eh?
12:40I know.
12:40We just, like, became best friends straight away and had lots of time together.
12:47Yeah, I'm really sad.
12:49I can't stop crying.
12:51But I can see it.
12:58The whole team got up really well with it.
13:00For me to be crying, and I don't cry, that's like saying, whoa, what the hell are we doing
13:07to each other?
13:09Love yous, but you're not what I would usually be drawn to.
13:14Like, I'm just saying it.
13:16A part of me felt really, really responsible that we had lost, you know, the heart of our
13:22group.
13:23Because I know that if we had won that slingshot challenge, then we may have had the upper
13:29hand.
13:30I think it was a cheap move.
13:32Yeah, I agree.
13:33By the other team.
13:34That was dirty.
13:35I think, um, you know, the semi, they assumed was one of, you know, our weakest.
13:40They took advantage of that.
13:45Well, that's why we have to go hard tomorrow in the team challenge so that Kahu has got the
13:52control.
13:54I think we can all feel it now at our camp.
13:58That we need to get them back.
14:00We're all set.
14:02We need to get some revenge.
14:10It's the very first new morning on the island after the very first sleepover.
14:16Perfect timing to spill the beans.
14:19Who wants beans?
14:22First night in camp.
14:25It's fun.
14:26It's like new flatmates coming in and, you know, you're kind of learning everyone's, like,
14:31quirks.
14:32Ria and Ben are, like, camp mum and dad, you know?
14:36What did you do to this one as opposed to yesterday's one?
14:39Yesterday we cooked the rice and beans separately.
14:41Yeah.
14:43Louie is next to me on the top bunk, so we're kind of like brother and sister.
14:47I do feel sorry for him because I am extraordinarily gassy because of the beans.
14:53He is the loudest snorer of all time.
14:56There were different snores going on at the same time at different rhythms and pitches.
15:00The you snore, you snore, I snore debate started to happen.
15:04It was quite musical.
15:05No one pointed at Frank, though, even though he was definitely in the group.
15:08Frank doesn't get fingers pointed at the snoring.
15:10Were you having a nightmare?
15:11I heard someone just, like, not screaming, but, like, you know.
15:14We're screaming.
15:14Already this bizarre little family vibe, you know?
15:21The mood's not quite so perky down the beach at Cahu this morning after last night's elimination.
15:29There was a mouse in my clothes.
15:31Jesus Christ.
15:33Breaches and stuff everywhere.
15:34My God.
15:36Today's a little bit flat.
15:38Yeah, everyone's a little sad that Sammy's gone home.
15:41I think we're all going to take a while to get over that.
15:43Hey, we do need to get over that.
15:45I literally just pulled up my jacket, and then a mouse came out of it.
15:49Are you serious?
15:49Yeah.
15:49Nah, you're joking.
15:50No, I'm not kidding.
15:51And then I looked, and I was like, oh, it did a poo in my jacket, and then the poo
15:55started moving.
15:56I was like, oh, these are bugs, too.
15:57It's a real bummed-out vibes right now.
16:00It just feels like the game's started now, and it feels like it's very real,
16:06and there is no motel that we go back to.
16:09There is no secret food that we're allowed to eat,
16:12and once you get eliminated, you get eliminated.
16:16Wow, nothing like a comedian to really hype up the dream holiday.
16:20Come on, we're going for a team swim.
16:22You got a team swim?
16:22A team swim, yeah.
16:23All right.
16:24Okay, because we're doing that then.
16:28I'll do whatever you want, Si.
16:29Yeah, we'll do whatever you want.
16:32Yeah, Fresno did suck, but Simon, he's an awesome leader,
16:36so I feel like he's a really, he's a bit of a glue when it comes to Team Kau.
16:45No jeepers.
16:47Shower.
16:48Enjoy that swim, Orange team.
16:51We're going to just stay alive.
16:55It's the team spirit, I think.
16:57Don't worry, Tarkapu, I've got your team spirit sorted today
17:01because things are about to get slippery.
17:05Get in here, you lot!
17:11Okay, yeah, you already know what this is.
17:17When I see the slip inside, awesome.
17:21Tarkapu, welcome to your very first charity challenge.
17:25I'll be alternating between camps each day with one of these fun challenges,
17:29which will see one of you pick up $5,000 for your worthy cause.
17:33Yes.
17:36You guys are meant to be the wisdom team,
17:38but I feel like this one is all about throwing yourselves headfirst into the chaos.
17:43I like to call it Human Shuffleboard.
17:45And here's how it works.
17:47You'll each be assigned a random pool toy.
17:50You'll then hurl yourselves down the runway
17:52in an attempt to land in one of these marked-out point zones
17:56to collect as many points as possible.
17:58The person who has the most points at the end
18:00will pick up that $5,000 for their chosen charity.
18:05Sound good?
18:05Yes.
18:06That's all great.
18:07Three, two, one, liftoff.
18:08Let's go, baby.
18:10Woo-hoo!
18:13First up, we've got Frank.
18:14You ready?
18:15I'm ready.
18:16Let's go.
18:17He lines it up.
18:21Frank!
18:21Frank Barnes goes down so smoothly.
18:25He's off to a good start!
18:27Oh, he's holding on!
18:28Nice!
18:2815 points!
18:30He's like, James Bond.
18:33Here we go, Zion.
18:35My inflatable is a shark, and looking at it, I think,
18:38eh, this is going to be a bit awkward.
18:41Rides that shark like a horse.
18:43That was crazy.
18:45That's definitely going to be kept in.
18:5210 points to Zion.
18:54Porsche Woman hit the deck.
18:56Oh, that is graceful from Porsche.
18:5920 points to Porsche Woman.
19:02Liv Parker gives us the moves.
19:04I feel like I've got this.
19:05I can do this.
19:06Here she goes.
19:07She hits it.
19:10Bounces back.
19:1310 points.
19:15Okay.
19:15All right.
19:16Here we go.
19:17Do you know what I'm going to do, I think?
19:19Is I'm going to get Brie to push me.
19:25I'm not going to be able to stop myself.
19:27I don't know.
19:27I'll just land where I land, I guess.
19:31She gets 15 points!
19:36She runs.
19:37Jumps on the track.
19:39Right in the first square.
19:41Minimum points.
19:42Here he goes.
19:44Got the water shoe on for good luck.
19:46He hits all!
19:4815 points to Louie.
19:51All right.
19:52Second round.
19:53Give it a ho!
19:54Come on, Benny!
20:02There's gasps.
20:04Squails.
20:10There's indistinguishable noises.
20:14The whole thing's just confusing.
20:17I'm all good.
20:19No, don't help her.
20:20Let her go.
20:21Yeah, I'm fine.
20:22I'm all happy.
20:23I'm actually doing really quite well.
20:28Oh!
20:29Oh!
20:30Oh!
20:32It's an amazing moment to watch.
20:38Ah, well, I'm disappointed.
20:40But I had a good time.
20:43Exciting first charity challenge.
20:45I'll tell you what.
20:46After reviewing the points, we have a playoff.
20:49Oh!
20:51Portia versus Louie.
20:52It's going to be sudden death.
20:54Ready?
20:57Go!
21:03Guys, it looks like it's got too much speed.
21:06Oh, no.
21:06She's gone to the minus five.
21:11Louie, ten points, and the winner of this charity challenge.
21:16Woo!
21:17That charity challenge is going to be hard to talk.
21:21And a big congratulations to you, Louie.
21:24You've picked up the first 5K for your chosen charity.
21:29Can you tell us a little bit about where that money's going, mate?
21:32Te Oraho.
21:33They work with rangatahi to make sure,
21:34despite what kind of start they may come from,
21:36they have all the opportunities they deserve to pursue their dreams.
21:39I hope that 5K is going to help out a lot of people.
21:42Good job, mate.
21:42Well done.
21:43It's time to head back to your kaiinga
21:45and get ready for that team face-off.
21:47Let's see if you can go back to back.
21:49I'm backing our team,
21:51but I think the other team have some surprises up their sleeve.
21:54Thank you, guys.
21:55See you, Ray.
21:56They're going to want to redeem themselves.
21:58I don't think at any point we can underestimate them.
22:13It's only day two on the island,
22:15and I'm getting the impression not everyone's thrilled with the menu.
22:19Oh, look at that.
22:22That looks like shit.
22:24We had so much leftover rice,
22:25so chucked it in the pot,
22:27put heaps of water on it,
22:29and just made some congee.
22:31That's not congee.
22:32It's gruel, dude.
22:33It's just boiled water and rice.
22:36Nah, it's yum.
22:40Oh, nah.
22:41Nah, can't do it.
22:42Can't do it, bro.
22:43Can't hack it.
22:43Can't do it.
22:44Can't hack it.
22:45This is the stuff that Oliver Twist was eating.
22:49You guys want to cook some rice tonight as well,
22:52and I'll teach you guys so that if I get eliminated.
22:54Don't even eliminate it, but we'll learn just to help.
22:57So the first thing is we leave this until it's boiling,
23:00and then we chuck the lid on top.
23:03All right, you can get eliminated then.
23:05While Kahu are busy swapping rice recipes
23:08like my mum's Facebook group,
23:10Takapu are actually plotting their next move.
23:14I think the cool part is I know people now
23:17other than just walking straight and going,
23:18OK, you're doing this.
23:20After yesterday,
23:22I'm feeling like we've got some gamers on our head.
23:26We've got Portia, we've got Ben,
23:28and we've got a group that's starting to bind together.
23:31I feel like everyone's looking out for each other.
23:33No one's making Polly's knee feel like a problem.
23:36I feel like whatever it is, we can do it.
23:38I reckon they're going to come in hot
23:39because they'll feel like they need to redeem after yesterday.
23:44Yeah.
23:44I think they're going to have a good strategy.
23:47Much more focused, much more grounded.
23:50Oh, yes, they're so much more grounded and focused.
23:54Look at this.
23:54How do we do?
23:55Look at this.
23:57That's tight, team.
23:58I love my team.
24:00I love my team so much.
24:01She could probably do one in yours.
24:03My team's going to work really well under pressure.
24:06How sensitive is your scalper?
24:07They're snot.
24:09All good, see?
24:10Because we've got such a good energy.
24:13Oh, there's nothing in here.
24:14Team morale and team connection is so important.
24:18Yeah, love that.
24:19Love that.
24:21We've got this.
24:22Looks like everyone is battle ready,
24:25so it must be time for today's face-off.
24:48It looks intimidating, I see that.
24:51It's going to be like a divide-and-conquer kind of situation.
24:54This one is called Reel in the Puzzle.
24:57The Kaihoutu will split the team into four carriers, three puzzlers.
25:02Two carriers must first run out and untangle the ropes by flicking them over the posts.
25:07Once the ropes are free, run them back to your teammates.
25:09The next pair will clip them onto the winch and start cranking, pulling across a cargo box.
25:14Once the cargo box reaches the end, unclip the rope, run it back, clip it onto the next box.
25:20Inside are the puzzle pieces.
25:22The puzzlers will then build a three-level tower,
25:25making sure each level is even before moving onto the next.
25:28First team to complete the tower,
25:30or after 90 minutes, the first to complete the first level wins.
25:36You can swap puzzlers at any time, but once they step out, they're out.
25:42I am very amped up to do this.
25:44It's the first kind of challenge where it looks like we're going to have to work as a team.
25:48Now, Brie, how did you feel about elimination last night?
25:52I thought it was a little bit harsh, if I'm honest.
25:55Same.
25:56Well, tonight, Kaihoutu of the winning team
26:01will get to choose someone from the opposing team
26:03to go up against their own Kaihoutu in a captain's coup.
26:09I feel so much relieved that there is no elimination tonight.
26:14It's exciting stuff.
26:17So excited.
26:19The risk is huge.
26:21I mean, Porsche is a fantastic captain.
26:23So it's really important that we keep her in that position
26:26because at the moment, it's going great.
26:28We want her being the captain for a long time.
26:31Want to talk reward?
26:32Yay!
26:37It's pizza!
26:38Woo!
26:40We're going to go extra hard.
26:42I think we're all set to get some revenge.
26:45But it would be perfect for pizza, I'm telling you.
26:49Let's get into it.
26:53All right, Porsche, who's sitting this one out for Takapu?
26:56We've got Polly sitting out just to rest her knee a little bit longer.
26:59All right.
27:01Will Kaihoutu bring the fury,
27:02or will the wisdom of Takapu prevail once again?
27:07Ben!
27:07Ben!
27:07Ben!
27:09Ben!
27:11Ben!
27:12Go, Ben!
27:14Both teams up to a flying start!
27:17Vinny has cleared two posts already!
27:20Take some of the slack back.
27:21Take some of the slack away, mate.
27:23Yeah, nice.
27:23Take the slack back, yeah.
27:24Yep, that's it.
27:26We are very lucky to have Ben, because he's tall.
27:29That height advantage is really important for us.
27:33Oh, yeah!
27:34Yep.
27:35Takapu!
27:36Untangled their rope!
27:38Wicking on their winch!
27:39Yeah, come here, come here, come here, come here.
27:41Kahu, not far behind!
27:43They've got one more post left!
27:45Vin's struggling on the third little rope toss there.
27:48I'm trying to figure out already with Vin when to tap in and talk to him,
27:52and when to let him do his thing.
27:54Come on, Kai.
27:57And then Vin was kind enough to invite me.
28:00That's it, boy.
28:04Kahu untangled their rope!
28:06And I nailed it.
28:07And Kahu moving their first box!
28:11Takapu are already on to their second!
28:16The boys are just pumping along, and seriously?
28:20Simon is jacked!
28:22Seeing his back muscles, and I'm just like, what the heck, dude?
28:27Both teams working on their second box!
28:30This is an even game!
28:32And they're moving!
28:34They're kind of muscles that you haven't really put under too much pressure in recent times.
28:38Nice, nice.
28:40I'll run it.
28:42Right, your side up!
28:44Look at David Correos!
28:46He can move!
28:48He doesn't know where he's going, but he can move!
28:50Yeah, I think I'd describe myself as pretty chaotic.
28:53Even when I'm not trying to be, I'm still chaotic.
28:56That makes me a real liability, doesn't it?
28:58Takaapu pulling in their final box!
29:01Kahu right behind them!
29:03Come on, that's it!
29:05Come on!
29:07That's us.
29:08Yep, yep, yep, yep!
29:10All right.
29:12You're right, Kip.
29:14That's us, eh?
29:17Takaapu have their third box!
29:19Kahu have their third box!
29:23Kahu into their puzzle now!
29:25And nowhere anywhere did I say I was good at puzzles.
29:31Just, what are you guys feeling?
29:33I don't even have a clue.
29:34I think it's just...
29:36I don't know, I've...
29:37I put my hand up to be part of the puzzling team.
29:40So I'm like, come on now!
29:41Time to step out of the comfort zone.
29:43Do you think we just...
29:44Let's just try and let's...
29:46We're going so fast.
29:50And then we're like...
29:52Oh no!
29:54This puzzle is really hard!
29:58Liv!
29:59How are you guys going?
30:00Um, yeah, just trying to figure it out.
30:05What are you thinking, Simon?
30:06Yeah, we're going to swap in.
30:08Harrison.
30:08Harrison, you're in!
30:10Next!
30:11First puzzler to be swapped out.
30:13That means she is out of the game.
30:15Jayden!
30:16Portia!
30:17What do you want to do?
30:18I'm going to swap Zion out for Ben.
30:20All right, Zion, you're out!
30:21Ben, you're in!
30:29All right, everyone!
30:31We're 25 minutes in!
30:36Is it just about getting them all level?
30:38It's just getting them all level.
30:39Okay.
30:39So match them, match up the size.
30:41We're looking at, like, the thickness of the paint on the side.
30:45One of those there, one of those there, one of those there.
30:46We're looking at the cut of the wood.
30:48Should we take them all off and then try to match as many sizes as we can?
30:51We're looking at the colours of the wood.
30:52Do you think these are three different colours?
30:55Counting stuff.
30:56One, two, three.
30:58We're putting in patterns, we're doing different levels.
31:00Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah.
31:02None of that's really working.
31:04I'm going to sub out.
31:05Yeah.
31:06Yeah.
31:10Has to be a correct way of doing it, so it has to be the colour.
31:14Frag steps up to the plate.
31:18Guys, I think we made the puzzle too hard this time.
31:22It's been 90 minutes.
31:25You just need one layer at this point.
31:28Cheers, Jaden.
31:35But I'm just feeling so determined that we're going to get it.
31:38Nice, George.
31:40That's it.
31:41Between the three of us, it feels like we're onto something.
31:45Can we check it?
31:47Do you want to check it?
31:49And then...
32:06Can we check it?
32:07Do you want to check it?
32:10That's it.
32:13Hey, I can see a gap from here.
32:16No, they haven't signed and they haven't got it.
32:17There's a big gap like this.
32:19This much.
32:24Nah.
32:26That's a no.
32:27That's a no.
32:28Damn.
32:29We don't.
32:30We don't.
32:31We don't have it.
32:31If you feel if you're on it, stay on it.
32:34I feel like we're close.
32:36Oi.
32:37Guys.
32:38Not bad.
32:39No!
32:45Bro!
32:46I was getting excited for you.
32:50Pretty close.
32:51Remember, you just need one layer at this point.
32:55I'm on the sidelines, and I know that I cannot help them with the puzzle at all.
33:00This is doing my head in.
33:02I don't know.
33:03Just nothing seems to be working.
33:05I feel like I'm bringing nothing.
33:08Louie, do you want to go?
33:10Nah, I'm like, is there anybody else?
33:13But Frank was already in, so...
33:15OK, fresh eyes.
33:19Louie, swapping in for Ria, the last side from Takapu.
33:22I'm put in just to have a different perspective.
33:26Louie, Frank, Portia.
33:28These are Takapu's puzzlers now.
33:30We keep sending people in, who then just end up going,
33:34What the?
33:34What is going on here?
33:39Louie is just sitting like a toddler on the ground,
33:42with these blocks, looking like he's at daycare.
33:45Putting blocks.
33:51And I'm moving my blocks around.
33:58Making different towers.
33:59I feel like a little kid that's just playing.
34:03And then, all of a sudden...
34:07Go, go, go.
34:08Put this on.
34:09Put this on.
34:09Put this on.
34:10Put this on.
34:11Then Louie goes...
34:12Quick!
34:13Quick, quick.
34:14Go, go, go, go, go.
34:15Moving pieces onto the board.
34:17Go, go, go, go, go.
34:19Make sure it's really flush.
34:21Really flush.
34:25Check.
34:25Coming down to check.
34:26This could be it.
34:29The big baby...
34:31at daycare...
34:34suddenly decides to have a hoon.
34:49It gets it.
34:53I've just done my first puzzle.
34:54Well done!
34:57There's hugs and smiles, you know, because that was work.
35:02Oh, my God.
35:04It's over.
35:05We have won.
35:06I don't know if I'm more excited that we won, or that it's over.
35:11Oh, my God!
35:11Oh, my God!
35:14One thing I do know, takapu are fizzing for pizza.
35:17But let's hope their cooking skills are better than their puzzling ones.
35:22It feels so good to win.
35:24It feels so good to know we're not having beans and rice.
35:27Woo!
35:29Woo!
35:31Woo!
35:32Yeah, Louie!
35:33I can't wait to have pizzas.
35:36And remember, you can't wait to talk about the captain's coup either, Louie.
35:40So there's two things to consider.
35:42One, it's who do we want to be their next captain?
35:46And the second point is, can they beat Simon?
35:48Who do we want?
35:49Do we pick someone strong like Vinny, or do we pick...
35:52No, right.
35:52For me, I don't want Vinny to have immunity.
35:54Nah.
35:54Who would just be the most disruptive to whatever they've got going on?
35:57Or do we not even want to disrupt what they've got going on?
35:59Just keep doing what you guys got going on over there.
36:01Yeah, we want more of whatever they're doing.
36:05My first concern is, what's going to help us?
36:10I think for me is like, what's the best thing for our team?
36:13I don't know what the answer is.
36:15If we did want to keep Simon as captain, if we out someone that maybe would feel uncomfortable with wanting
36:22to win.
36:23Because they could throw the challenge, right?
36:27So they could throw the challenge so that Simon stays.
36:29But even if it means giving up potential immunity...
36:32Well, people have done that.
36:33It feels like Simon's number one priority is peace in his team, and that's not really working at the moment.
36:41We're currently winning against them, and we just feel like maybe his style of leadership, you know, isn't working for
36:47them.
36:47Maybe.
36:48So let's keep him in.
36:49Yeah.
36:50That's the aim.
36:51So then how do we go about that?
36:53Before Takapu spill the beans, let's do a quick vibe check over at Kahu.
36:58Morales are okay.
37:00Nobody's going home, eh?
37:02Even though they're in control, I mean, who cares? It's still our family.
37:06If they pick me, Simon, you're still captain.
37:09People are already talking about throwing the challenge just so I can say captain.
37:17I'm not doing that.
37:18Is there, straight up, is there anybody that wants to be captain?
37:22I guess the one thing that people love about being the captain is it gives you immunity.
37:27Like why wouldn't you want that? Why wouldn't you want immunity?
37:30Seeing how they probably saw me in terms of my fitness, I don't want to be put up for elimination.
37:37So maybe immunity is something I really need to focus on.
37:39Even right now at this stage of a game, with how we all are, I think it'll be, yeah, anyone
37:45being captains is fine.
37:46I don't think people are really thinking long game yet at all.
37:49I really think that people need to start thinking about themselves.
37:53I wonder who they think that our team would, like, cross our team?
37:58Like, try and sabotage each other?
38:01It's good to work as a team, but that's not going to win you $100,000.
38:06Something tells me Ben hasn't forgotten what this game's all about.
38:10You know, I just wanted to have a yarn to you about it away from all, you know, all the...
38:15Ben coming out to see me on the rocks, he's approached me away from everyone.
38:20We literally just finished a team discussion.
38:23I think we want someone to beat Simon.
38:25Oh, okay.
38:25I think out of that group, Simon's the best person to have as leader.
38:29He is.
38:29And with a group like that, that are much younger and a bit, ma, ma, ma, their energy's a bit
38:33erratic.
38:35Yeah.
38:35He's a really good person to have in charge.
38:38It is a little bit sneaky.
38:40I don't think I expected someone to do that in the first two days of the game.
38:46I get he has a strong opinion about things.
38:49He's very vocal in what he wants and what he thinks and how he feels.
38:54Especially after their last two challenges, they'll be...
38:57They'll be just what they need.
38:58Yeah.
38:59Is that what you're saying?
39:00Exactly.
39:01So I reckon anybody else in the top seat is better for us.
39:06Even someone like Vinny.
39:09Someone like Vinny.
39:11Another thing that's playing through my mind, obviously,
39:14is that last time Simon was on CTI, he came second place.
39:18He was very close to taking it out.
39:21We don't want him in that captain's seat.
39:23Yeah.
39:25I think that's another great idea.
39:28If the captain coup works in my favour,
39:30that means Simon Barnard is up for elimination.
39:33And that is exactly where Team Taipaboo wants him to be.
39:53Simon, crew.
39:55Brie.
40:00Tēnā koutou i tēnei ahi ahi.
40:02And welcome to the very first captain's coup of the season.
40:08All right, Portia, you will get to decide who from the opposition will go head to head with the kaihotu
40:14in the coup.
40:15This is your chance to throw a cat amongst the pigeons and shake things up for the other team.
40:21Simon, you must defend your captaincy.
40:24If you win, then you'll retain your title.
40:27You'll also earn yourself a game-changing advantage.
40:32If you lose, you will be overthrown.
40:35And in that case, Portia, you will earn that game-changing advantage instead.
40:41That does throw me off a little bit because I'm like, what could this advantage be?
40:46Is it going to be really detrimental to us?
40:49Quite a lot on the line.
40:51Big decision, Portia.
40:52Who's it going to be?
40:55OK.
40:59At the end of the day, I'm going to go with my gut.
41:05OK.
41:06We've gone for David.
41:11I guess the thing that's kind of up for grabs is, like, one thing benefits me and the other thing
41:16benefits the team.
41:18That's how I work, David.
41:21This game just knows how to pull me, you know?
41:24Well, David, I'm going to let you have a choice from two Treasure Island classics.
41:29Foot Build or Kumara in a Box.
41:37I think I'm going to pick Kumara in a Box.
41:41I'm shocked.
41:44All right, here's how it's going to work.
41:47There will be a box in front of each of you.
41:49Inside one of the boxes will be a Kumara.
41:52One of you will get to look inside your box.
41:54The other will not.
41:56However, they do get to ask the other person questions about what they did or didn't see.
42:02Once question time is over, they will need to decide whether they want to keep their box or switch it
42:07for their oppositions.
42:08Whoever ends with the Kumara inside their box wins.
42:12So, ultimately, this is a game of deceit and bluffing.
42:17I really love deception board games.
42:20Like, bluffing.
42:20Just anything where, like, there's a bit of trickery.
42:22It's always fun.
42:24All right.
42:25To kick things off, we're going to have a rock off.
42:28Whoever wins will decide if they want to have a look or if they want the other person to have
42:32a look.
42:33When you're ready.
42:34I think they've made the wrong decision.
42:36And you know what?
42:36I'm actually kind of stoked.
42:39Because I know exactly how I'm going to play it.
42:42Brie, I want to have a look in the box.
42:45All right, David.
42:46When you're ready, have a look inside your box.
42:57What's the first thing you saw?
42:59The Kumara.
43:00What colour was it?
43:01It was red.
43:05I don't imagine there'll be a coup.
43:06I could be wrong.
43:07But we sort of had a wee chinwag with the team.
43:10So, I think that's the way it will play out.
43:12Do they have, like, little stringy bits on the end?
43:14I think, like, at the tip.
43:16On the tip, it had, like, little things coming out the top of it.
43:19How big is it?
43:21This kind of size.
43:23I'm looking at Dave's face, and I'm like, what?
43:25Is he going to wink at me?
43:28Can you just describe it for me?
43:30It's the shape of trust.
43:31That's what it is.
43:33And I'm still looking for the towel.
43:35I'm still looking for the...
43:37Or something like that.
43:40Would you lie to me?
43:41Nah.
43:42Is that a sign?
43:44There's still that slight twitchiness of, like, what if they flick me, and what does that mean?
43:52Are you in love at the moment?
43:54I am.
43:55Morning.
43:55Are you going to ask her to marry you?
44:00Yeah, probably.
44:02See, I've got some intel.
44:03You do.
44:04I feel like the tables have turned all of a sudden.
44:08Alright, Simon.
44:10Do you want to keep your box?
44:12Or do you want to switch it with David's?
44:15I'll swap the box.
44:16Okay.
44:17I'd ask you guys to switch places.
44:20I'm nervous.
44:21I don't know what's going to happen.
44:23Sorry, I just outed you on the TV.
44:25You did!
44:26You actually did!
44:28I think you should ask her before you open the box.
44:31No!
44:31Look down this camera.
44:33Look down this camera right now.
44:35Hey, babe.
44:37Love you, Judy.
44:40I might buy a ring suit.
44:43Oh, no, no.
44:47Simon, when you're ready, have a look inside your box and tell us if there's a Coomera in there.
45:05There is.
45:06Simon wins this Captain's Coom!
45:10And retains his captaincy!
45:14I'm actually really happy that I've retained the captaincy.
45:19A Captain's Coom sounds like people are really disenchanted and unhappy with you.
45:24I talk a big game, but the reality is I do care what people think.
45:29Congratulations, Simon.
45:30Simon, you are still the Kaihoutu of your team.
45:34You've also picked up this, a game-changing advantage.
45:38Share it with your team or keep it to yourself.
45:41That part is up to you.
45:42Come and grab it.
45:44Thank you very much.
45:45Yeah, it happened exactly how we wanted it.
45:48Simon won Captain's Coom.
45:49They're going to continue the run that they're on, which is not doing well.
45:54It's time to head back to your Kaihoutu and rest up.
45:56We'll see you again tomorrow.
45:57Good night.
45:58Good night.
46:00Good night.
46:02Yeah, I think Tim Takapu's made a very big mistake.
46:06Was that all good?
46:07Dude, that was the coolest.
46:09Because I was going to throw it the whole time, and now we've got a secret advantage.
46:20Next time.
46:21The one behind Libby Ria.
46:22Hey!
46:23Ooh, Jaden!
46:25The game heats up.
46:28And that means be careful, my friend.
