00:00Previously on Celebrity Treasure Island.
00:04We're not going down without a fight.
00:06Alliances were confirmed.
00:08Three, two, one.
00:09Duck food.
00:10Treasure.
00:11And new friendships blossomed.
00:13You are our whanau now.
00:15But Zion struck again.
00:18Zion!
00:19What's up bro?
00:20Before Ben came to the rescue.
00:22Mercy card.
00:23Save any player if they're eliminated.
00:25But her reprieve was short-lived.
00:27Jaden.
00:28Have you got a card?
00:28Advantage block.
00:30It was Haere Ra to a legend.
00:33Just smash the game.
00:34Enjoy every part of it.
00:36Whatever we can.
00:37I love yous all.
00:38Kake te.
00:39Love ya.
00:40Bye Porsche.
00:59One more...
01:04Another bunch...
01:05more drinks.
01:05The big ones akanven.
01:08It's烈y.
01:17It's boring.
01:19This wing's Bye beef,
01:19There is no hook.
01:21That's still a lover.
01:27We want to leave.
01:47It's day eight, and somehow, carry the one plus two,
01:51we're already halfway.
01:54Exciting.
01:57But after yesterday's elimination, the vibe in Team Takapu is...
02:02It's just ups and downs, isn't it?
02:06I'm starting to feel like how Team Kahu must have felt
02:08in the first few days of this game.
02:10It is nothing but soaring highs and crashing lows.
02:16Just taking blow after blow after blow.
02:19Talk about a buzzkill, Ben.
02:22Hey Frank, how are you feeling about Zion sending your fellow rugby legend packing?
02:27Yeah, Zion, you're never getting another interview from me, mate.
02:31TVNZ Sport, you're dead to me.
02:36It's always hard and it's very, very emotional.
02:38Yeah.
02:38Yeah.
02:39You feel bad.
02:40It was a big move.
02:42Ultimately, it was a winning one for them.
02:44But, you know, there's definitely a hole this morning.
02:48You're in the driver's seat at the moment.
02:49Yeah.
02:50I guess, Kevin.
02:51We are on the back foot a little bit.
02:54We're down in numbers.
02:55We may well be the weaker team right at this point.
02:58We just carry on doing the best we can and see what happens.
03:03Yeah.
03:03It's not a great tactic, see what happens.
03:05No, I know.
03:07I've flown under the radar a little bit.
03:09I've basically got here doing nothing.
03:12But, you know, that's the game.
03:15I hate to say it, but I might have to step up.
03:18Yeah.
03:18I think it is going to be time I have to step up.
03:20Can't get by just doing the dishes, can you?
03:23I know, yeah.
03:23I can feel my knee hurting as I speak.
03:26Hopefully your knees can keep up with your ambition, Frank.
03:30Because over at Kahu, there's plenty of spring in their step.
03:34That was a crazy night last night.
03:37Yeah.
03:37Bit of sweet.
03:38I mean, it's great to survive elimination.
03:41Like, you know, you want to stay in this game as long as you can.
03:44I didn't think it would be this deep.
03:45I think these last two elimination rounds have shown people that Zion is a weapon.
03:51He just took out one of the strongest players in this game.
03:54You might even call him...
03:56Zion.
03:57The Giant Slayer.
03:58The Giant Slayer.
03:59The Giant Slayer Zion.
04:01What does it take to become the Giant Slayer?
04:04Confidence.
04:05Belief in yourself.
04:07Perseverance.
04:08Determination.
04:09Overcoming the hard times.
04:11That's quite the list.
04:12Anything else?
04:17Power of protection.
04:18Oh, yes.
04:20That'll definitely help.
04:21You can choose two players to protect from elimination.
04:24This can include yourself.
04:26This card must be played by day 11.
04:30This could be really great for us.
04:33Louis and I, OG Takapus, are on this team.
04:35He could choose to save either of us.
04:37He could choose to save himself.
04:39That's a powerful card.
04:41Looks like the Giant Slayer just grew even more powerful.
04:46But for right now, it's time for Team Takapu to get a bit fruity.
04:52Haramai, you lot!
04:57Whee!
04:58Quick, hurry!
04:59We're on a time limit!
05:00I don't know.
05:02Charity challenge.
05:04These are always fun.
05:05No one's going home.
05:07All these charities are worthy causes, and it's a real pressure release for us.
05:11Ata Māori e.
05:12And welcome, Takapu, to another charity challenge, where one of you will pocket $5,000 for your
05:19chosen charity.
05:20First up, I want to see how you're all feeling.
05:23Ben, very dramatic exit from Porsche Woodman Wycliffe last night.
05:28That must have been gut-wrenching, mate.
05:29It was gut-wrenching.
05:31I kind of knew in my heart what was coming, but I had to give it a go anyway.
05:34But losing Porsche is definitely a huge loss to our team.
05:38A Porsche Woodman-sized hole in our team.
05:40Yeah.
05:41Yeah.
05:42We move on and we have some fun.
05:44How does that sound?
05:45It sounds amazing.
05:46I like to call this one going absolutely B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
05:51On go, you'll race out to a bucket filled with water, dunking your head in to retrieve
05:56a banana, using only your mouth.
06:00Once you have your banana, you'll then need to unpeel it and chow it down as fast as possible.
06:06Yes.
06:07And yes, you'll also be doing this part without your hands.
06:11What?
06:13What?
06:14Person who gets their banana down the fastest wins.
06:17I love bananas and I eat heaps of them.
06:20So whatever the challenge might bring, hopefully I can sneak a banana.
06:26We'll play this one in rounds with our winners moving on to a final where we'll shake things
06:30up a little bit.
06:31Who's ready to go absolutely bananas?
06:34Yay!
06:38Alright, the banana boys are up first.
06:41Frank versus Ben, are you ready?
06:43It is a very strange feeling to be competing against the great Frank Bunce in anything.
06:49Go!
06:51I slam my head in, got my eyes open and as soon as I go near the banana, it takes
06:56off
06:56to the other side of the tank.
06:57Frank wrestling with his banana.
07:00When I get my teeth around that banana and bring it up out of the water.
07:03Ben gets his.
07:05I realise I'm ahead of the great Frank Bunce.
07:07Frank going for a full on swim.
07:14Sorry.
07:18That's one way to do it, not against the rules.
07:22This is going really, really well for me.
07:24Ben now manhandling that banana with his mouth.
07:27Giving it a little bit of a shake like a terrier with a rat in its jaws.
07:31Frank trying to use his elbow.
07:35No hands!
07:36Now I just have to inhale that banana.
07:40Ben making love to that banana.
07:43Frank Bunce is a force to be reckoned with.
07:46Even though you're in the middle of the competition, man this banana is sweet.
07:49I've got to speed this up.
07:50He scoops it up, I need to see a clear mouth!
07:53Frank, Frank!
07:55This is anyone!
07:58Ben!
07:59Just gets there!
08:00Moving on to the final!
08:03This is the story I'm going to tell my grandkids.
08:05I beat Frank Bunce.
08:07Even though I lost the competition, I was more than happy to eat that banana.
08:12And I walk away richer for the experience.
08:20All right, Lev, are you ready?
08:21I'm ready!
08:22Georgia, are you ready?
08:23I'm ready.
08:24I haven't won any money for my charity yet, so I'm eternally optimistic that today is going to be the
08:30day.
08:30Now let's go dunk it for bananas!
08:37Georgia grabs it on the first go!
08:41I don't think I can say that I've ever done anything like this before. Ever.
08:47Since she swallowed more water than banana.
08:50But I'm feeling like today is my day.
08:54I'm like, oh yeah, I feel like I've got this, I can do this.
08:57Liv, now gets her banana!
09:00Shake your head!
09:02Oh no!
09:04You've got to get her from the ground!
09:06Liv goes to retrieve her banana from the ground.
09:09She's already got half in her mouth!
09:11And here comes Georgia!
09:16I need to see an empty mouth, empty mouth!
09:19Liv! Going through to the final!
09:22I'd really love to take some money home for my charity, so I'm feeling pretty gutted.
09:27That was yum!
09:31Alright, finals time. Liv versus Ben.
09:35I really want to try and get some money for the aunties, so...
09:38I'm going to give her everything.
09:39I did tell you we were going to shake things up.
09:42In front of you is a balloon and a bowl of thick paste with a spiky fruit hiding somewhere inside.
09:49First person to blow up their balloon until it pops and retrieve their spiky fruit wins.
09:55Yum!
09:59I want to make it clear, I'm going to do anything for Heart Kids New Zealand.
10:04Even this.
10:11Alright guys, here we go. Are you ready?
10:13Yes!
10:14Have either of you won 5k for your charity yet?
10:16Not yet.
10:17No, but I've done this more times than you can count.
10:20Oh my god!
10:22Well that is the most shocking thing we're going to hear today.
10:25We'll get that story after.
10:26Okay, $5,000 for your charity on the line.
10:30Are you ready?
10:30Yes!
10:31Go! Go Liv!
10:32Alright, I need to get that balloon and blow it up until it pops.
10:40Next to me at Liv's table, there's just an absolute circus going on.
10:46Balloon comes out of her mouth.
10:48Picks it up.
10:52Really wrestling with her balloon.
10:55Ben, almost there.
11:00Bang!
11:01My balloon goes and I'm straight in head first.
11:04Get the crap out of Liv.
11:06She drops her balloon.
11:07Go on Liv!
11:09Go on Liv!
11:09My strategy is just digging with my face.
11:12Oh Liv! Don't give up Liv!
11:17Oh, Ben!
11:18Put it on you! Put it on your barrel!
11:21Get that spiky fruit!
11:23Gets it down!
11:24Ben!
11:25Wins the 5k for his charity!
11:28Why it ate so much grass?
11:30Liv struggled to get out of the blocks.
11:32Oh, Ben.
11:33Look at Ben's gobble!
11:35Oh!
11:40Guys, if I'm ever sad, I'm going to think about these moments.
11:44And they're going to bring me so much joy.
11:46Congratulations mate, that is your first 5k that you've won for your charity.
11:50Thank you Bree!
11:51Amazing!
11:52I've officially won my first charity challenge and I couldn't be prouder.
11:56I'm really, really pleased and I know that New Zealand's heart kids are going to be very proud of what
12:00they've just seen.
12:01That was for you guys.
12:02Guys, a whole lot of fun this morning, but that face off is just around the corner.
12:07So rest up, I'll see you there.
12:09That's for you.
12:10Off yous go, get out of here!
12:15I'm still feeling really vulnerable being on my own at Team Takabu.
12:19I'm going to start making some moves here and make them fast because I could be going home today.
12:36While some of our celebs spend their downtime playing games.
12:40Nice Ben!
12:42Or relaxing.
12:46Others are already on the hunt for the treasure.
12:49We guarded our treasure so it could shield us from the world.
12:52It's like we need something to figure out what they're actually saying.
12:56I will take every clue I've got.
12:59What would you do if the gold was just underneath you?
13:01Sorry T, do you really think we would make it that easy?
13:05I don't know, it might be the extra little oomph I get and I'm done.
13:08It's these three, chuck your bag down.
13:11For now the treasure's staying hidden.
13:14But your fellow Kahu OG Georgia is about to reveal a gem of a game plan.
13:20I don't know where you're at but I feel like the last few days have been so intense.
13:24I really need to have a proper chat with Liv today and we need to start working together.
13:29Because the game is changing so fast.
13:32Yesterday was my first day in Team Takabu.
13:35Yeah, yeah.
13:36And I know I said to you obviously the girls, Nix and T, I'm Team Kahu.
13:41I'm going to do everything I can to get us as far as we can to the end.
13:45And like I feel the same with you being like let's just try and get as many wahine as possible.
13:50Like one of us needs to win this.
13:53That would be so cool.
13:55I'm excited to have a chat with Georgia and make a plan.
13:58But I'm also feeling conflicted because Louis is over in Team Kahu and I feel like I've got a close
14:04bond with Louis.
14:05Like I feel like we have a almost sibling relationship.
14:08He feels like an older brother.
14:09He feels like someone that I can trust.
14:12I really want him to stay too.
14:14So that's something to figure out.
14:16But I just intend to have fun and just try and see if I can chat to the girls today.
14:21I need to somehow communicate to the girls in the original Team Kahu.
14:26We need to look after Liv.
14:28Do you think that Ria would want to be like nothing against Ria because I think she's really wonderful and
14:35so lovely.
14:37My only like question mark is do her and Ben have some sort of alliance?
14:41Yeah.
14:42Her relationship with Ben.
14:44You have to be a little bit weary of that possible connection.
14:48Going into the face off, do we just go hard because we want the food and we trust that Ben's
14:53going to make a decision?
14:54Yeah.
14:55But then does that put me potentially in a vulnerable position of him putting me up against another original OG
15:02Team Kahu member?
15:03Am I going to get put up against T?
15:06Do I somehow slow the face off down so that we don't win?
15:09We have to scheme quietly and make moves and we need to like just get to the merge.
15:17Well, we have done a little scheming ourselves.
15:22And it's about to change everything.
15:30We walk into the arena and this huge challenge is laid out in front of us.
15:35I love this part of the game.
15:37What is going on here?
15:39This is not usual.
15:42Oh my God.
15:43I don't know what's about to hit though.
15:45Look up there. This looks handy.
15:48Not a clue in the world.
15:50Jayden and me have a wry little smirk on their faces like something's brewing.
15:57There's just something different in the air and I don't think I'm the only one feeling it.
16:02No mai haere mai. Welcome to the team face off.
16:06Although this one is going to be a little different.
16:10Oh listen up.
16:11We like to call this one, shall I stay or shall I go alone?
16:16You will head into this challenge as teams.
16:18You will come out of it as individuals.
16:22That's right guys.
16:23The individual game has arrived.
16:27Yes, clap yourselves in.
16:35I made the match.
16:39I can't believe I made it this far.
16:41I honestly thought somebody was going to vote me off day three because they realise I don't shut up.
16:46Very exciting to get to this point.
16:48So congratulations everyone.
16:49I was the oldest one here from the start.
16:51You know, I'm still here.
16:53Underestimate.
16:54That's your peril.
16:55That also means Ben and Nix, your reign as Kaihoutu is now over.
17:00Yay!
17:03Which means you could be vulnerable for elimination.
17:07Please hand over the Manahoutu.
17:12Ben's a really strong player in this game and I feel like we need to try and figure out how
17:18to take him out of this competition.
17:21Ben, how does it feel knowing that the immunity is gone?
17:24Yeah, that's something that I'm going to have to adapt to very, very quickly.
17:28It's been a responsibility I've enjoyed, but I've also enjoyed being immune from elimination.
17:35I'm going to have to adjust for that very, very smartly.
17:40You've been good.
17:42It's unrealistic to think that other players now aren't viewing me as a threat and I'd be stupid to think
17:49that I'm going forward at this point without at least a faint target on my back.
17:55Alright, let's jump into the wero.
17:57This challenge is all about teamwork and knowing when to ditch it.
18:01On my call, you will race under the obstacle structure following your team coloured paths.
18:06Along the way grab your puzzle pieces. Don't miss any. You'll need them all.
18:09Once everyone is through, use those pieces to assemble your puzzle on the table.
18:13All of the pieces will fit together to form a phrase.
18:16Once the puzzle is complete, teams will face four rope bridges with moveable planks.
18:21You'll need to figure out how to get everyone across.
18:23Or maybe you'll decide it's faster to go alone, leaving everyone else stranded.
18:30When you hear that, you start looking around at people, looking at your teammates and everyone's a little bit edgy.
18:35It's going to be interesting to see how people navigate that.
18:39Finally, you must land five sandbags on the tree pole in front of you.
18:42First person to land all five wins the challenge and decides who goes up for elimination tonight.
18:50The individual games is a better situation for me.
18:53I'm excited to play by myself. Let's do it.
18:56Well guys, there's one thing in this game that never changes.
19:00And that's the fact I've got something up for grabs.
19:03Jaden?
19:10Those are margaritas.
19:13I need a drink.
19:14Bri, you're speaking the language.
19:16We needed those last night.
19:18I'm good with not being the person to put up the people for elimination.
19:21But I really want that margarita.
19:23And what goes with margaritas?
19:27My standards, apparently.
19:29And nachos.
19:31Woo!
19:31Yum!
19:32That's right guys, after the challenge I'll have a fully Mexican inspired feast.
19:37Marg's included, waiting for the winner.
19:40Plus, maybe one other person, but we'll see.
19:43Cool.
19:43Who's ready for the individual game?
19:45Yep.
19:46Georgia looks ready.
19:47She looks ready to roll.
19:49I want the nachos so badly.
19:51Well, let's get into it.
19:52Let's go!
19:58Today, we enter the individual game.
20:02Everyone!
20:02Kwa rite!
20:03And I!
20:04Right!
20:06And we're off!
20:10All of a sudden I see Liv just scooting underneath all of the bamboo.
20:14It's perfect for me because it's kind of weird shapes and I'm like, actually this is my one strength.
20:19I'm kind of like this.
20:22That's a, I just have to roll and try and just force myself to fit underneath the bamboo.
20:28Georgia looks like she's been in the army.
20:30I'm not as Giles as I thought I was.
20:32Both teams starting this game together.
20:35For now.
20:36They'll end alone.
20:38Keep going bro.
20:39But then we will find out who's in it for themselves.
20:42Move along, that way.
20:43Both teams making light work of these puzzle pieces.
20:47Once they all get them out and are through, they can start the puzzle.
20:51Takapu waiting on Frank.
20:54Once he's out they can start.
20:56Yep, yep, all good.
20:58Takapu can start their puzzle.
21:00I feel like somehow throughout this whole game I've become like, oh Georgia's good at puzzles.
21:05I'm like, where did that come from?
21:07Like I said once I could do seroku.
21:10Tahu waiting on Zion and Louis.
21:13He's through, they can start their puzzle.
21:15Question, it's a question.
21:16Should.
21:17Ria's already got SH and she thinks should.
21:20Shall.
21:21I don't know why because I don't even talk like this but I was like, shall?
21:24My brain suddenly clicked and I went, oh my gosh I know what it is.
21:28Shall I stay?
21:29Shall I stay or shall I go?
21:31The name of the challenge.
21:33Both teams moving quickly.
21:45Who will get it first?
21:46And so we start putting the things and we realise there's one more word.
21:49Ready?
21:52Alone.
21:52Alone.
21:52Yeah nice.
21:53Thank goodness somebody goes, oh it's alone.
21:56Yeah nice.
21:57This might be the fastest puzzle we've seen yet.
22:01Think you got it?
22:02Yep.
22:04Kahu, have the puzzle moving on.
22:06Someone listen carefully to Jaden.
22:09Shall I stay or shall I go alone?
22:11That was the phrase.
22:13Team Kahu, they're already getting across that rope bridge.
22:16Hands and knees on these plaques.
22:20We've fallen behind already.
22:24This is where we find out if they will break apart and start playing individually.
22:29Pakapu still working on that puzzle.
22:33Louie moving quickly with those plaques.
22:37Two people max on the bridge at any one time.
22:39Pakapu think they have it.
22:41Pakapu moving on.
22:43Here we go, we've got a game with our hands.
22:45All players have now entered the individual game.
22:49We'll see if anyone is willing to go it alone.
22:52Will they wait for Zion?
22:54Who's going to ditch their team and just go for the win?
22:56Louie through.
23:04Louie through.
23:07Ria through.
23:09Currently both players waiting for their team.
23:11Obviously I'm never going to ditch my team.
23:13That's the fast road to making enemies on day one of us splitting up.
23:17Blue team still building that bridge.
23:19We can only have two on the bridge at one time.
23:21Orange nearly have their whole team through.
23:23Just get everybody through, everybody across.
23:26Good luck team.
23:27High five.
23:29They do.
23:31Let's go get it, good luck.
23:32And just like that.
23:34They separate.
23:35And that's the end of the team.
23:38Which is so weird.
23:40Every person for themselves.
23:42We're all by ourselves now.
23:43That's huge and it's going to be a completely different strategy we're going to have to employ.
23:48I start throwing them up.
23:49Next lands a sandbag.
23:51I crack it straight away.
23:54Louie lands a sandbag.
23:56First person to nail five wins.
24:00Ria lands a sandbag.
24:01Next has landed three sandbags.
24:03She only needs two more.
24:06Do you know I'm in the lead by now.
24:08I was thinking, oh my God, am I going to take this out?
24:12Louie has two sandbags.
24:14Ria's got two already.
24:16Taco Blue is falling further behind.
24:18But nobody is going in alone.
24:21I want to be a team player.
24:23I'm not ready to just charge ahead and be like, see ya.
24:28Definitely not feeling that.
24:29Will that be costly at elimination tonight?
24:32Frank's in the game.
24:33Liv's in the game.
24:34George is in the game.
24:36Everyone firing these sandbags now.
24:40Hopefully one of the OG team Kahu members wins and can take me for nachos.
24:47Louie has three landed.
24:50Nix has three landed.
24:52Nix is right there.
24:54Nix and Louie currently ahead.
24:57Nix is with me the whole way.
25:00Bring someone.
25:03Liv knocks one of her sandbags off.
25:08Georgia, Zion, Ben also having trouble.
25:14Yes.
25:14Now lands a sandbag.
25:16Zion bragging about his aim all season.
25:19I'm chucking these sandbags up.
25:22Overarm, underarm and nothing is sticking.
25:25Yet to land a sandbag on the tree.
25:28Ben lands his first.
25:31Liv relands her lost sandbag.
25:33Frank still on one.
25:35Now lands another sandbag.
25:38Louie has four.
25:39He's going for his last.
25:41Can he get it?
25:42The highest platform, the hardest to land.
25:45Louie lands his sandbag, takes out the first individual challenge.
25:53Louie gets it done.
25:54First solo win.
25:55He's deciding who goes up tonight.
26:00Namahinui and congratulations Louie on your first solo win.
26:04Yay Louie!
26:06I feel a little bit nervous winning the first one.
26:09I think I got a bit excited to get out there and go hard and pick up the win.
26:12That Mexican feast awaits.
26:15I was only thinking about having a feed.
26:17But I've stuck my head out and said,
26:20Hey!
26:20Eliminate me guys.
26:22I'm a threat.
26:23But I was thinking you're probably going to get a little bit lonely aren't you?
26:27You may as well invite a mate.
26:29Who's that going to be?
26:30My mate Zion.
26:31Oh thanks brother.
26:33But then I thought, two is company but three is a fiesta.
26:37Invite one more person.
26:39I'm going to take my mate Ria too.
26:41Amazing Ria.
26:44I choose Ria and Zion because the whole group will understand that answer.
26:49It'll cause the least conflict.
26:51But Louie, remember you also have an important decision to make.
26:54Oh I forgot about that.
26:56So think long and hard about who you're going to put up tonight.
26:59I've got a big decision to make.
27:00But if I plan to keep eating these feeds, I'll probably have to get used to this.
27:06I'm currently feeling quite nervous.
27:07I haven't made any connection with Louie.
27:09So I am panicking.
27:12Alright before you guys head off, it's time to drop your buffs.
27:15Because your new team colour is purple.
27:17And your new team name is Kuaka.
27:20A taonga species of great significance to the muri whenua.
27:23Each year this small but extraordinary bird undertakes the longest non-stop migration of any creature on earth.
27:31Flying in large flocks from Alaska all the way to the shores of Aotearoa on a single unbroken flight carried
27:37on the winds of Tawhirirang, the jet stream.
27:39Pretty cool bird eh?
27:42Yeah.
27:43Team Kuaka.
27:44A tribe that has become one.
27:46Come grab your buffs.
27:48Congratulations guys.
27:49There's definitely feelings of like sadness of leaving you know what our comfort was and what we know.
27:56There you go Frank.
27:57Oh yes.
27:58But there is also like this feeling of excitement.
28:02Being able to like finally spend time with Nyx and Aotearoa is like super exciting.
28:07Alright.
28:08Everyone head back to Old Camp Kahu.
28:11That will be your kainga from now on.
28:13I'll see you shortly for the elimination.
28:14That one sucks.
28:16Get out of here guys.
28:17Bye.
28:18Bye guys.
28:20I get to be in our original whare which feels really special but also strange.
28:27Ah the purple.
28:29Wow.
28:30I love what you've done with the place.
28:33It's some sort of comfort but also all of the people are different.
28:38Oh cute.
28:39One person going home though.
28:41Oh no.
28:42Anyone have an idea on how this is going to play out?
28:45I mean you guys know Louie better than.
28:47Yeah.
28:48We've only had a very short time to actually spend time with him on the game.
28:51Yeah it's pretty crazy.
28:52Who knows how he's how he's going to do it.
28:54He said he's a gamer at the end of the day.
28:56Yeah.
28:57Anything's on the cards really.
28:59I wouldn't like to be in Louie's shoes to be honest because it's a big call.
29:02It's one that has to be made though because it's only eight beds.
29:12Oh my.
29:14What.
29:15Look at that.
29:17Wow.
29:18Oh my goodness.
29:19Zion and Ria have been through everything with me.
29:22Cheers.
29:22Cheers mate.
29:23Cheers team.
29:24We've eaten every reward of this competition so far and today will be no different.
29:29So we're all on our own now hey?
29:30I don't think we're at that stage.
29:32I think there's still a game within the game.
29:35Louie's still a team person first and foremost I think even though you know it's become an individual.
29:40But then the question is which team.
29:43Yeah.
29:44When we played for Takapu we played as hard as we could for our team.
29:47When we played for Kahu we played as hard as we could for our team.
29:50And now in the big group it becomes about our relationships.
29:54We did say we wanted as many Takapu in the final eight as we could.
29:59Ria wants us all to stay happy clappy together kumbaya.
30:05But no one wants to be the first to fire the first shot.
30:10Frank's been saying he wants to get into the arena.
30:13And he might want to scrap and go out in the blaze of glory so he might get to collect
30:18one more legend.
30:20Well then that's the interesting thing because it's like now that it's an individual game
30:25do you switch it up and do you put two of the strongest players in the ring to make the
30:30competition easier down the road?
30:31A hundred percent.
30:32I can't help but think that at this point in the game there's a target on my back.
30:37Are you thinking ahead and going right?
30:39Who's going to potentially be in my way down the track and just get going getting them out?
30:43I've still got hope though.
30:45Hope that our old Takapu bonds will stay strong and me old mate Louie won't target me for elimination later
30:51on.
30:51Then in that instance I'd say Zion's a pretty big threat.
30:56Yeah, yeah.
30:57Zion.
30:58He's the giant slayer.
30:59He wants to verse the best and beat the best.
31:00This lesson was already in my ear about I want Ben.
31:03But he's also got an advantage.
31:06Oh yeah, true.
31:07Has it?
31:07Right.
31:08Yes he does.
31:09I still have a card to play that saves two people from elimination.
31:14So if Louie calls up two players to compete tonight, Zion, he could swap out both of them.
31:19Oh that's a hefty card.
31:20The way I want to win this competition, I've wanted to take on the best.
31:24I see Ben as a real threat.
31:25If it's me and him in the arena, I'm probably not going to save myself.
31:28You love that arena.
31:30I do.
31:30I do.
31:31I love competing.
31:32The giant slayer.
31:35Bring on Ben.
31:36No.
31:37Nahh!
31:37Ha ha ha!
31:48Hey.
31:49What's up?
31:50So do you think they might knock me and you and Georgia out?
31:55I think if it's you and I going in there, we both give it everything.
32:00Yeah.
32:00If I get into anything, I'm gonna give it all a go.
32:03Hi.
32:03Hi.
32:05It's good to be back.
32:07The girls back together.
32:09What we're just talking about, what do we think is going to happen?
32:11I was just saying the logical thing is to whack out the old group.
32:18Realistically, you've got three original kahu and a whole bunch of takapu.
32:24The ties, the loyalty.
32:27And Louis now the exterminator.
32:32I don't know, girls. We might be in trouble.
32:36My five girls.
32:38If they're clever, they'll be discussing it over nachos and margaritas.
32:43Which is exactly what they're doing.
32:45I reckon let's keep Frank here for as long as we can.
32:48He's such good value.
32:49I want him to stay too.
32:51But you're trying to imagine a scenario where nobody goes in.
32:55That doesn't exist.
32:57And I don't cry.
32:58Those are gone now.
32:59I know.
33:00We're going to feel bad every day now.
33:03Whatever you do from here on out, there'll be tears.
33:05You'll be crying.
33:06It's hard.
33:07Yeah.
33:07I think regardless, the goal for us is trying to get as many wahine to the end as possible.
33:13If I'm here tomorrow, I would like to bring Liv in in some way, shape or form.
33:17I would love to bring Liv and Ria in.
33:20Ria's awesome too.
33:22Cheers.
33:23Thanks, Louis.
33:24But I just don't know how strong Ria's alliance with Louis and Zion is.
33:32And Ben.
33:33I think whoever gets the chance to needs to talk to Ria and just ask her, is getting
33:38as many females into the end more important than the other connections that she's formed?
33:46Brace yourself.
33:47There's some choppy weather on the horizon.
33:49Yeah, there sure is.
33:50We've got a few days to stomach a different conversation when we start talking about our friends and
33:55final state of the end.
33:58This ends for all but one.
34:01I feel busy now.
34:03Like a party.
34:04By the way, they're coming down.
34:05Okay, great.
34:06Speak of the devil and he will appear.
34:08Uh oh, uh oh.
34:10I'll carry on doing the dishes then.
34:11You can almost guarantee Louis clocks this already.
34:14Hey.
34:15Hey.
34:16Hey.
34:18Thought we'd come visit.
34:20Nice place you got here.
34:21Hey.
34:22Have you guys paid your bond in two weeks?
34:25Oh, are you fine?
34:27Oh, hello.
34:29Oh, no.
34:30How are you?
34:30Louis is an honourable man.
34:32He does everything up front.
34:34Wanted to see how you're feeling.
34:36He sat next to me and he goes, I wanted to speak to you first.
34:39As if I'd go the other way, it means you're here another night.
34:41Yeah, it is.
34:42And I just wanted to see how your body is feeling, your mind is feeling.
34:45You know what's going to happen.
34:47You don't know when or how.
34:48You want to keep playing.
34:49But your time will come, you know.
34:51Or you want to get in the arena and have a bash.
34:54What do you think of in your dick?
34:55And you're either in or you're out.
34:57I just thought I'd ask you what you wanted to do first.
35:00Appreciate it, bro.
35:01Yeah, because I have been thinking both ways.
35:04Man, it's really difficult.
35:07What am I going to try to do?
35:08Actually, I'm not sure.
35:09Well, you better think fast, Frank, because the elimination battle awaits.
35:18We walk into elimination, still don't know exactly who's going to go up.
35:24It's got to be Team Kahu.
35:26Because why the hell wouldn't it be?
35:29I have a gut feeling that Louis is going to put two of us up tonight.
35:34Being in there with one of your own feels like a position that you don't want to be in.
35:39I trust Louis.
35:41I mean, whether he puts my name forward, Frank's name forward, or anyone's name forward, I back him.
35:44He's doing it for the game.
35:53Welcome to your first elimination as individuals.
35:56Tonight, the stakes couldn't be higher, because as you know, one of you will be leaving the game and the
36:02island,
36:03missing out on your chance at $100,000 for your charity.
36:06Before this battle begins, we need to find out who's going up.
36:09Louis, how are you?
36:17Louis, who will be the first person up for elimination?
36:21I feel heavy for this, but it really came down to we didn't get to spend as much time together
36:27around the fire as I did with some others.
36:29So, the first person up for elimination is Theo.
36:34I'm ready.
36:35I feel like I've gone through this game giving everything I have, but never really getting to the point where
36:41I've truly tested myself.
36:42So, I'm ready to see what I'm made of.
36:45I just don't want to be facing my own whānau.
36:48And who will be going up against Theo?
36:53The question is, is that are we going to put two Kahu players up for elimination against each other tonight?
36:58Or is he going to turn on his Taikapu woji's?
37:05Kahu, aroha mai.
37:07You'll be going against each other tonight.
37:11Georgia, the first out.
37:13When Louis says my name, like I'm not surprised at all.
37:16There's no hard feelings.
37:18Just have to try and contain my adrenaline and use it.
37:22You would think that that pit in your stomach would disappear knowing that your name didn't get called.
37:28But it doesn't because one of your two solid mates is leaving the island.
37:35Well, here are your rules.
37:38On my call, you must use your feet to stack three block towers on a rotating platform.
37:42Working from the largest block to the smallest.
37:45You must stay on your seat the whole time and your feet cannot touch the ground.
37:50Once the towers are three blocks tall, you must add your toppers.
37:54First person to add all three toppers and have them stand for three seconds wins.
37:59Loser goes home, missing out on their chance at $100,000 for their charity.
38:03Theo, Georgia, take your marks.
38:07Good luck, guys.
38:09I'm feeling nervous.
38:11I'm definitely not out of the game yet, but I've accepted the possibility of going home.
38:21I'll remind everyone of your charity.
38:23I am playing for UNICEF Trust New Zealand.
38:26They provide humanitarian and emergency aid to children around the world.
38:30Like me, they believe that no matter what colour you are, no matter where you're from,
38:34every child deserves to feel safe, loved and secure.
38:42And Georgia, who are you playing for?
38:44I'm playing for the Tauranga Woman's Refuge.
38:47They look after so many incredible wahine and their children,
38:50who are navigating through some really horrendous situations with domestic violence.
38:55So really proud to be playing for them.
39:00Both beautiful charities. Fight hard for them.
39:03Theo, Georgia, kua rite.
39:05Hai.
39:07Ti mapa.
39:09When my adrenaline gets pumping, I actually get the shakes.
39:12And literally as I lift the first box, the shakes kick in.
39:16Two OG kahu wahine fighting off for their place in this game.
39:22The wind is up out here. Will it affect them?
39:25The wind is a factor in this.
39:27It potentially could knock everything off.
39:30I just have to move quickly.
39:31Might be a fast game.
39:33They need to build three towers and then stand three toppers on top of those towers.
39:38There's no time to second guess yourself.
39:40It's just go, go, go.
39:47I feel like I'm going at an all good pace, but then I hear Jayden say something.
39:51Georgia.
39:54Nearly completed the three towers.
39:57Then I'm like, oh, okay.
39:58Gotta get moving.
39:59Pedal to the middle. Let's go.
40:01Theo, I'm not far behind.
40:03Get the toppers on.
40:04Hope the wind doesn't push them off.
40:06If Georgia can get three toppers standing for three seconds,
40:08she will be safe in this game.
40:10What the hell?
40:11Georgia places her second topper.
40:14When I realise that Georgia's pumped ahead, the panic starts to set in.
40:19Theo has her first topper.
40:20If Georgia can get this and have them stand for three seconds, she wins.
40:25I'm just saying, oh my God, my core could never.
40:30Theo with her second topper.
40:32Theo's going for her third.
40:34Georgia.
40:35Three, two, one.
40:38Georgia wins this challenge.
40:41Theo, going home.
40:45Don't be sorry.
40:47No, don't be sorry.
40:48There was no joy winning that challenge.
40:51The moment that I realised that I had finished was just the realisation that your friend is going home.
40:57Theo, it is always an absolute pleasure to be in your presence.
41:01You are so optimistic, bubbly.
41:04Always show up with a smile, ready to take on whatever this game throws at you.
41:07Your presence will be missed.
41:09Do you have any final words?
41:12Oh man, I looked at Nix and now I'm going to cry.
41:15I told myself if I left I wouldn't cry.
41:17That's a hard thing for me.
41:21It's just been an absolute honour to get to know some beautiful people, every single one of these guys.
41:26It's just been the best ride.
41:30I said I would come in and play hard and play fair and stay true to who I am
41:34and I feel like I can walk out of here with my head high, knowing I gave it everything I
41:39had.
41:39And I get to take $5,000 at home to my charity, which is the only thing I wanted.
41:45Honestly, I'm shocked I made it this far.
41:47I thought somebody would get rid of me because I can't shut up.
41:49Like now.
41:50On that note.
41:51No.
42:03I'm sorry.
42:03I'm sorry.
42:06I'm sorry.
42:07Don't be sorry.
42:08Just fight like hell to stay in it for as long as you can.
42:11It was real, real sad for Ti to have to leave the island.
42:20I'm confused.
42:21But out of everyone, she knew how the game went.
42:25So as much as it was sad as, I knew that Ti would have been like,
42:30you better give it all you got, girl.
42:32Don't sit around and da-da-da-da-da-da.
42:35You got a game to play.
42:37Absolutely kill it, guys.
42:39Can't wait to see how this ends.
42:41Bye, Ti.
42:42See you next time.
42:43My time's done, and that's all good.
42:45But my sisters are there, and I'm going to be sending all the vibes,
42:49praying that they are the ones fighting in that final three.
42:54Georgia, that was an absolutely incredible effort.
42:58Congratulations.
42:58You have won yourself.
43:01This.
43:02Keep it to yourself.
43:03Share it with whoever.
43:05Up to you.
43:07Take a seat.
43:07I'm grateful to still be here, but I'm also just in shock.
43:11It's just not a nice feeling.
43:13It doesn't feel like a win that's worth celebrating.
43:16Only eight of you remain on Treasure Island.
43:19Every day you play is one step closer to victory
43:21and the all-important treasure.
43:24Head back to your kainga.
43:25Rest up.
43:27Hei opopo.
43:30So now it's six against two kahus.
43:33And I'm like, oh my God.
43:35If we don't crack it, it'll be me and Georgia in the pit.
43:40And they'll just keep it like that till we're all wiped out like a extinct species.
43:49Next time.
43:51Today is the day.
43:52If we're going to have to make a big move, it's this moment now.
43:57The wahine kick into action.
44:00Girls want to fire the first shot.
44:02They better pull it off.
44:03Existing loyalties threaten to derail their plans.
44:09Does she have an alliance with Ben?
44:11I feel like I sort of need to let Ben know.
44:14Who will get their power in this game?
44:17We just ruined our chances and now Ben's going to put us on the chopping block.
44:21No!
