00:00Previously on Celebrity Treasure Island, the team swap saw new alliances form.
00:06I'm gonna do everything I can to get us as far as we can to the end.
00:09Get as many women to that final three as we can.
00:13Hard out.
00:14But the merge changed the game.
00:16The individual game has arrived.
00:21Louis takes out the first individual challenge.
00:25We're all on our own now, hey?
00:26I don't think we're at that stage.
00:27Louis is still a team person.
00:29But then the question is, is which team?
00:31What team?
00:32Yeah.
00:32And Louis had just one answer.
00:35Original Tahu, we'll be going against each other tonight.
00:39Georgia wins this challenge.
00:41They are going on.
00:43It'll be me and Georgia in the pit.
00:45And they'll just keep it like that till we're all wiped out like a extinct species.
01:05We do.
01:09Doesn't it' mean I have escapedаб χ
01:12The mystery is no one, but we still have somebody who's scared.
01:12And they were driving us on others, I think, wouldn't do it.
01:12We're trying to do Apparently Fire mensen.
01:12Yeah.
01:16on the ground.
01:27Woo estamos.
02:15I think waking up this morning, like, there's been so much loss for Team OG Kahu in a very short
02:25amount of time.
02:26You know, we lost Sammy on day one, we lost Harrison, we lost Vinny, we lost David and Simon to
02:34injury in the same game.
02:36And we wake up this morning and T's gone.
02:39Nix and I are the only OG Kahu remaining.
02:42And I need to start strategising pretty quickly because we're going to be up on the chopping block very, very
02:50soon if we don't change our game plan.
02:55The next couple of days will be about removing the last couple of members of Kahu.
03:01I think original Takapu is in a really strong position.
03:04We have the best players and I don't think anyone's going to betray original Takapu and cross over to Kahu.
03:11Hmm, are you sure about that, Louie?
03:15Charades.
03:16Hmm.
03:17Hmm.
03:18I don't know.
03:20Oh no.
03:21I can't find the sock treasure.
03:24Hmm.
03:26Scene word.
03:28The ear, the hearing, oh the sound, the sound of music, yay, I got it, I got it, that was
03:36so fun.
03:36The bonding moments are my favourite moments.
03:40Okay, this is the code for just like a saying.
03:43Okay.
03:43Um, that's, that's the code for that.
03:46A saying?
03:47Yeah.
03:48Like the crazy thing about Georgia is like I have like listened to her songs before auditions.
03:53So it's just like, it's like all these little threads that are like so beautiful and it's so nice to
03:57then be able to like really connect.
03:59And now that we're in the Women Alliance, now is like the opportunity to be able to like connect with
04:03people like next.
04:04And perhaps it's time to check in with your old mate and the only remaining female yet to join your
04:10alliance.
04:11The only question mark I have at this point around getting women to the final is we need to bring
04:16Rhea in on this alliance and kind of formalise and make this like an official thing because, you know, Ben
04:23and her have a relationship outside this game.
04:26And I don't really know if she's like keen to be a part of what we want to do or
04:31if she's already got something happening with Ben.
04:33I need to go and check in with her.
04:36They're coming back.
04:37We might have missed our window.
04:39Yeah.
04:40We might have missed our window.
04:45Breakfast ready.
04:51Ooh, well this is nice and awkward.
04:55Sorry Georgia.
04:56Hopefully you'll get another opportunity later.
04:59But for now it's time to...
05:01Get in here you lot!
05:03Hey Brie.
05:05Looking good guys, looking good.
05:08I'm so excited for another charity challenge.
05:10We walk up the hill and then there are these boxes with these kind of like snorkel things coming out
05:15of them.
05:15No idea what's going on.
05:17Do you have a licence to have that weapon out Ben?
05:22Sorry.
05:23Talking about the rig in general.
05:25Look at the rig on her.
05:26I'm going to take these opportunities to let it all hang out.
05:30Alright, who's ready to sniff out a victory?
05:32Yay!
05:33Great.
05:34Because I like to call this next challenge...
05:38What was that?
05:40And here's how it works.
05:42We'll play this one in rounds.
05:43You'll have 30 seconds to guess the mystery item inside the box using only your sense of smell.
05:51First person to correctly identify the item moves on to the next round until ultimately we're left with one nose
05:58sniffing.
05:59Alright, it's time to see who has B.S.E.
06:04Big smell energy.
06:05Let's do it.
06:06Big smell energy.
06:10Alright, first round.
06:12Ben, Louie and Zion.
06:14Are you ready?
06:15Ready.
06:16Ready.
06:17Sniff!
06:22Tuna.
06:23Dirty nappy.
06:24Mine smells just not coming up.
06:26Not dirty nappy, not tuna.
06:28Louie taking it all in.
06:30It's just not coming up the pipe.
06:32Put your nose in deeper.
06:34Can't smell anything.
06:35Nothing's wafting up this tube.
06:37And I'm trying to get my nose in as far as possible.
06:40But I just can't smell it.
06:43It's just not coming up the pipe, whatever this is.
06:47Ben, you can just...
06:47You want to swap?
06:49Louie thinks he's got nothing.
06:52Right, there's nothing coming up this net pipe.
06:55Oh, I can smell it straight away.
06:57Seaweed.
06:58Not seaweed.
07:00Garlic.
07:00Garlic.
07:01Louie got it.
07:02Moving on to the next round.
07:06Alright, round two.
07:08Georgia versus next, versus Ria.
07:10Go.
07:13Cinnamon.
07:14Whoa!
07:15Ria, that's it.
07:16I'll take it.
07:16Cinnamon was the answer.
07:19I only made it for about 10 seconds before Ria was like, it's Cinnamon.
07:25It's like, awesome.
07:25I'll watch from the side.
07:30Alright, our third round.
07:32Frank versus Lev.
07:33Have you guys warmed up?
07:35Yeah, I think so.
07:36I've got my final stretch.
07:38Oh!
07:40I think I was blessed with big nostrils.
07:43I've just got to clear whatever gunk I've got up there, and then I'll get into it.
07:48Just check the caves.
07:49Lev says you're good to go.
07:51Alright.
07:52Smell.
07:57This is like fish.
07:59What'd you say?
08:00Tuna?
08:01Lev got it straight away.
08:03Going through to the next round.
08:05Oh.
08:08Alright, finals time.
08:10It's best of three between Lev, Louie, and Ria.
08:15Here comes the first one.
08:17Go.
08:21I know that it's fish, but I can't quite place it.
08:24And then straight out of Ria's mouth.
08:26Smoke's handbag.
08:27Whoa!
08:28Ria gets it within seconds.
08:32She's got the nose of a bloodhound.
08:35Are we ready?
08:36Yep.
08:36Yep.
08:37Sniff.
08:39I think this smells like my socks, but before I can say anything, Lev goes,
08:43Dirty socks?
08:43Dirty socks!
08:43Wow!
08:45Lev gets it just before Louie.
08:48She takes the point.
08:49I'm glad that happened quickly.
08:50It was disgusting.
08:52It's actually what our kayanga smells like.
08:54Alright, this is match point for Ria and Lev.
08:58If you win this, you'll pick up that $5,000 for your charity.
09:03Louie, you need to get this one to stay in it.
09:06Are you ready?
09:07Yes!
09:08Smith!
09:10Penning decision.
09:12Penning decision.
09:13Soap.
09:13Shampoo.
09:14No.
09:14Conditioner.
09:17Sunscreen.
09:18Ria gets it done.
09:20$5,000.
09:21Going to Ria's charity.
09:23Ria.
09:24What a final.
09:27Ria, well done.
09:28$5,000 going to your charity.
09:31Can you give us the rundown about where that money's going?
09:33So I'm here playing for the New Zealand Cancer Research Trust.
09:36They're the only organisation in New Zealand that funds innovative research for all cancer
09:41types.
09:41Every cent counts.
09:42So I'm really happy to be able to take that money to them.
09:44They need all the money they can get.
09:45Amazing charity, mate.
09:48Sunscreen got me the win and the $5,000 for my charity, which I am thrilled about.
09:52So far, I have raised $7,500 for my charity and I feel really cool about that.
09:57All right, guys.
09:58You know what time it is.
09:59Time to head back to your kinder and get ready for that individual face-off.
10:03Who's going to come out on top?
10:04Time will tell.
10:05We'll see you there.
10:06Get out of here.
10:15I think it might be Ben's day today.
10:17Yeah.
10:18Yeah.
10:18I think if Ben wins, I reckon he'll just stick with the same plan.
10:22We'll just...
10:23We'll just start chipping off our new cousins that have moved in.
10:30Oh, hey, fellas.
10:31I think Ben's a gamer.
10:33He's the strongest player remaining.
10:34I think he'll be starting to strategise and think about the next half of the game.
10:39Just seeing that body makes me scared.
10:41All right.
10:42We're out.
10:43Man.
10:45Man mountain.
10:47Oh, no.
10:50Well, it was fun when it lasted.
10:54All right.
10:55She's a puzzle solver.
10:56She's a puzzle solver.
10:57She's a puzzle solver with zero puzzles under her mouth.
11:01It's super important that, like, all of the girls, we come together because we've got these,
11:07like, strong dudes in this merge.
11:09And if we really want to make this work, then we have to put everything at it.
11:14Otherwise, what's the point of making an alliance?
11:16We need to work smart and we need to work fast.
11:21I talked to Georgia and she kind of says, like, we should have a conversation with Ria and see, you
11:27know, what she thinks.
11:31So we go out into the water and cards are revealed about, you know, this potential alliance.
11:40We ask Ria, like, where are you at?
11:43How would you feel about us spanning together?
11:46The goal being that us four would make it to the final four.
11:51I can see the cogs turning, but I'm not entirely sure what she's thinking.
11:55It sounds like she's really keen to be a part of it, but...
11:58She's very conflicted.
11:59Because of her, you know, relationship with Ben.
12:02And because of her loyalty with Takapu.
12:06The weird thing was, I don't know if the water was super cold or she was feeling awkward.
12:16But she left the water.
12:23I don't know how that went.
12:25We see her walking over straight to Ben.
12:31Does she have an alliance with Ben?
12:33And I'm like, oh no.
12:34Have we just ruined our chances at bringing in Ria into our alliance?
12:40And now Ben's going to put us on the chopping block.
12:51If you care to share, I'd love to hear what you're thinking, Ben.
12:55Since the merge happened and we're now all one team,
12:58there are so many different things to think about at this point
13:01regarding where my allegiances lie.
13:04My oldest friend here on the island is, of course, Ria.
13:07Then I've got the Takapu OGs.
13:09Some really close friendships have formed,
13:10and I do feel a sense of allegiance to those six other people.
13:14We're all friends.
13:15I don't think there is alliance-based chats that anyone's having
13:18or any sneaky skullduggery, but who knows?
13:25I think the most important conversation for me to have right now is with Liv.
13:29It's to see where she's at in terms of, you know,
13:31the loyalty to Takapu versus maybe teaming up with the girls.
13:36Obviously, it's like a weird position to be in,
13:41but, you know, we came into this team Takapu.
13:44We wanted to get as many of us to the merge as possible,
13:46and we're here now.
13:48Yeah.
13:48I'm so conflicted about things.
13:50That has been weighing on me too.
13:52In terms of Takapu, everyone has, like,
13:55I felt so supported,
13:57but I really didn't expect to form the connection
14:00and, like, the bond that I had with Georgia
14:02on those couple of days as well.
14:04Yeah.
14:04I also feel like I've, like, connected
14:06quite hard out with Nick as well.
14:09So...
14:09It's obviously a complicated position
14:12because we've been Takapu this whole way,
14:14and we have a, you know, loyalty to, like, those team members,
14:17but also how cool would it be
14:19to have all women in the final?
14:21It's always been my, like, motivation
14:24to have a woman win this thing.
14:25I so agree.
14:26I'm so happy.
14:27I think, like, in my gut,
14:29it feels it's the right thing.
14:31I think so.
14:33I feel like I sort of need to let Ben know that...
14:39What do you think?
14:40I don't...
14:41It's kind of tricky
14:42because in terms of this alliance,
14:43the smartest thing to do
14:45is, like, to try and get rid of the strongest player
14:47in terms of the men,
14:48and that is totally Ben.
14:50Do you think you'll talk to Georgia and Lex before that, or...?
14:54Um...
14:54I just feel like I don't want to, um...
14:58Oh, I don't know.
15:00Portia and I decided to form an alliance,
15:02and we intended that to carry through to the end.
15:05When we asked Ben to join our alliance,
15:08I said just until the merge.
15:10I'm still... I'm still really unsure what to do.
15:13I think the way I'm going to play it
15:15is I will have a chat to Ben,
15:16see if he is...
15:20still wanting to team up in any way.
15:22We need to be careful
15:24and just figure out how we make it work.
15:31Ben's coming.
15:32OK.
15:34Ben's coming.
15:35It would always be a real benefit
15:37to have his protection
15:38because I can see him winning
15:40so many of these individual challenges.
15:43But at the same time,
15:44if I was to, you know,
15:46plough on with my mission
15:48of getting women into the final,
15:50that's kind of at odds.
15:51Because that would then make him want to get rid of me.
15:57Oh, this game really messes with your head.
16:03I don't know what I'm saying.
16:05Yeah.
16:05You OK?
16:07Today is the day.
16:08If we're going to have to make a big move,
16:11it's this moment now.
16:24Oh, my gosh.
16:25It doesn't get any easier.
16:29What the hell are these hanging structures
16:32going to have us lay it up like Jesus?
16:35No, I can't put that in there, eh?
16:40Kuaka, walking into this challenge looking united.
16:43Not for long.
16:47No mai haere mai to the individual face-off.
16:50I want to know who here feels like
16:52they really need to win this today.
16:55Oh.
16:57Pretty much everyone other than you, Louis.
17:00Oh.
17:02Ben has shown that he is the best
17:05physical player left in the game.
17:07I'm confident that if Ben takes out today's challenge,
17:10it's kahou on kahou again in the elimination arena.
17:13We're getting to the pointy end of this game now,
17:15and obviously every single one of these challenges counts.
17:18What do you guys think about
17:20when you head into one of these challenges, Georgia?
17:23I mean, obviously food would help,
17:24but I'm also feeling like, you know,
17:26Nix and I are the only OG kahou members left,
17:29and so that's a pretty nerve-wracking feeling.
17:32Feels really important to win this today.
17:35I feel like myself, Liv, or Nix,
17:36needs to be the one that wins this face-off
17:39in order to have the upper hand.
17:41Who feels like they've got another gear?
17:44No-one wants to admit that, right?
17:47Probably smart at this point in the game.
17:50I'm thinking to myself,
17:51do any of the other seven players
17:52think they can beat me at this?
17:54The first endurance challenge
17:56that I ended up beating Harrison at,
17:57I was up there for over three quarters of an hour.
17:59This is a very similar challenge, clearly.
18:03All right, shall we jump into the weddle?
18:05Let's do it.
18:06For this challenge,
18:07you will start inside the frame
18:08standing on small footpegs.
18:10Overhead, you will hold onto two ropes.
18:12After five minutes,
18:13I will ask you to step down onto smaller footpegs,
18:15forcing your arms to straighten overhead.
18:18After another five minutes,
18:19I will ask you to step down
18:20to the smallest footpegs.
18:22There, you will remain for as long as you can.
18:24You must keep your hands on those ropes the whole time.
18:27Last person standing wins.
18:30The winner will select two people
18:31to face off in tonight's elimination battle,
18:33where one of you will go home,
18:35missing out on your chance
18:36at $100,000 for your charity.
18:40How are we going to win
18:43some kind of hanging endurance challenge
18:47against the boys?
18:50Feel the tension building,
18:51but also you want to know
18:52what else you're playing for,
18:54especially Georgia.
18:56And I know camp life has been, well, rustic.
18:59So this afternoon, guys,
19:01you'll enjoy a brief return to civilisation
19:04with a relax on the beach,
19:06a cheeky vino,
19:08cheese, crackers,
19:10and some other goodies for good measure.
19:12And of course,
19:14no one wants to charcuterie alone.
19:16That's why it's charcuterie,
19:19so you'll get to bring a friend with you.
19:21All right, who thinks that's worth playing for?
19:23Me.
19:23Me.
19:24Well, let's do it.
19:26I've had a chat with the girls today.
19:28I don't know what Rhea's up to.
19:30I just don't know if she's fully,
19:32like, given herself to this ovary alliance.
19:36All right, I'll give you 10 seconds
19:38to get into position,
19:39and then we're into it.
19:40Everyone ready?
19:41Ready.
19:42I still haven't had a chance
19:43to talk to Ben,
19:44but Ben is going to take this out.
19:48Hands down.
19:50Five,
19:51four,
19:52three,
19:53two,
19:55one,
19:55and Frank gets on
19:56just in the nick of time.
19:58Plan.
19:59I feel all right.
20:00Arms are okay.
20:01I've got reasonably good grip,
20:02and my pain threshold is all right.
20:05I think I could be all right in this one.
20:11Frank's foot comes off,
20:13he slips.
20:14Frank's out.
20:16Frank, oh, poor guy.
20:17You know,
20:17in terms of setting records
20:18in this place,
20:19he does have a record now.
20:21The shortest amount of time
20:22hanging on anything
20:23in this competition,
20:24was it four seconds?
20:25Remember,
20:26if a foot comes off a footstool,
20:28you're out.
20:32You don't need to be up here
20:34as long as you can,
20:35you just need to be up
20:36longer than everyone else.
20:39Georgia,
20:39getting some blood
20:40back in those legs.
20:41For all of us,
20:42I think the biggest threat
20:43has been all of us
20:45see him as probably
20:46the strongest player remaining.
20:49Nick's swinging her arms around,
20:51keeping the blood in them.
20:53Nick's dancing.
20:56Right,
20:56you've got one more minute up here.
20:58Then I'm going to ask you
20:59to step down
21:00to the next foot peg.
21:10my approach to this is just
21:11having a mind palace.
21:13Initially,
21:14I was re-watching
21:15the entire film of Twilight
21:17in my head.
21:21Step down to the second layer.
21:23You have 10 seconds.
21:24When Jaden was like,
21:26go down to the next peg,
21:27I was like,
21:28okay,
21:28this really hurts
21:29and I don't want to associate
21:30Twilight with pain.
21:32So I was like,
21:32I'm not going to,
21:33that's not my mind palace anymore.
21:34Three,
21:35two,
21:36we're all set.
21:39Louis readjusting his feet.
21:42I just have big feet
21:43and these notches are tiny.
21:45I'm barely gripping the wood at all
21:47and it's just all just pain
21:48shooting through your heels,
21:50your arch,
21:51your toes.
21:51Anything you try and position
21:53is uncomfortable
21:53and I'm a big boy
21:54and all that force
21:56is just driving down
21:57on my feet.
21:58Right,
21:59been up here
21:59for two and a half minutes.
22:01I can't tell if Louis
22:03is moving around
22:03because he's uncomfortable
22:04or he's actually
22:05fallen asleep.
22:09Imagine waking up
22:10and you're in the middle
22:11of this.
22:16Welcome to CTI's
22:17House of Pain.
22:22Louis!
22:24Steps down!
22:25He is out of this challenge.
22:27We now have
22:28six people remaining.
22:29Oh my God,
22:31I beat Louis!
22:32I'm thinking,
22:33stay up there, Nick,
22:34stay up there.
22:35The longer the arms
22:36are overhead,
22:36the more blood leaves the limbs,
22:38the harder it gets
22:39to hold them up there.
22:40Yep, I'm out.
22:42And before I knew it,
22:43I was on the ground.
22:44My feet were throbbing.
22:46One more minute
22:47on this level,
22:47then we will step down
22:48to the final level.
22:50There you will remain
22:51for as long as you can.
22:55I can't get my feet
22:57in a comfortable position.
22:59The pegs are so small.
23:01Every time I maneuver
23:03my feet into a position,
23:04it's only a matter of seconds
23:06before the muscles
23:06in my calves and thighs
23:08start burning.
23:12Ben,
23:12constantly shuffling
23:13those feet.
23:16Tell you what,
23:17Ben's in pain.
23:1710,
23:199,
23:208,
23:217,
23:236,
23:245,
23:254,
23:263,
23:272,
23:317,
23:336,
23:345,
23:354,
23:363,
23:372,
23:381,
23:39step down.
23:41The clock's counting down.
23:43I've only got a few more seconds
23:44to get my feet
23:45on those next pegs down.
23:473,
23:482,
23:491.
23:50Ben gets on
23:51just in the nick of time.
23:56You alright, Liv?
23:57You alright, Rick?
23:58I can't believe
24:00that I'm still in it
24:02and
24:02I've got Georgia
24:04to my left,
24:05Rhea to my right.
24:06We're all still there.
24:07We have three women,
24:10two men
24:11who will take this out.
24:15Georgia,
24:15going to her happy place.
24:18I'm really struggling
24:20with my feet.
24:21I don't know how much
24:22longer I can hold.
24:23I'm trying to just
24:24take some deep breaths,
24:26allow my mind
24:27to not think about
24:28what's happening in my body.
24:29I'm thinking about
24:30swimming in the ocean
24:31and just
24:32taking myself
24:33to that safe,
24:34very happy place.
24:43I'm holding on
24:44and I'm holding on
24:45and
24:46my calves are caving,
24:48the footstool's so small
24:49that my feet are slipping.
24:51I can't readjust.
24:52I could see Ben next to me
24:53and he's going to be there
24:54for another hour
24:55at least
24:56and
24:57there's no way
24:57I'd match him.
25:00Tion's down!
25:01Four people left
25:02in this challenge.
25:15If you are readjusting,
25:16make sure your feet
25:17are not leaving those pegs.
25:19If they do,
25:19you're out.
25:21This one is really,
25:22really tough,
25:23much more than I expected.
25:24My arms are okay.
25:26It's just
25:27getting my feet comfortable
25:29on these teeny little footholds.
25:32I'm constantly moving
25:32my feet about.
25:33I just can't stay comfortable
25:35for more than a few seconds.
25:37All four of these people
25:39said they felt like
25:40they needed a win today!
25:42Everything is hurting.
25:43My glutes,
25:44my arms are aching,
25:46my feet are really sore,
25:47but
25:48we just have to outhang Ben.
25:50We've got to outhang Ben.
25:52And we're waiting,
25:52waiting, waiting, waiting,
25:54like who's going to be
25:54the next person
25:55to fall off the block.
25:57And then I hear Jaden call.
26:00Ben's foot came off!
26:02Foot came off!
26:04He is out of this challenge!
26:06And all of a sudden,
26:08the game has opened itself up
26:10and the three of us
26:12are the last woman standing.
26:15We're now down to three people!
26:17Georgia, Liv, Ria!
26:21Who will stay there the longest?
26:22Who will get their power
26:24in this game?
26:25I was so sure
26:27that Ben was going to win this.
26:28I have no idea
26:29how he's lost this.
26:30I look over at Ria
26:32and she's strong,
26:34she's sturdy
26:35and I'm still confident
26:36that we're going to keep
26:37the win inside Takapu.
26:39Good job, bro.
26:41Oh!
26:43Just like that,
26:44lift force!
26:48I know
26:50I can keep going.
26:52I could keep going
26:53for a really long time.
26:54I look over,
26:55Georgia's looking
26:56a little bit uncomfortable,
26:57but she's still strong.
26:58And then I decide,
27:00I'm going to get off too.
27:02And Ria steps off!
27:04Georgia!
27:05Takes out this challenge!
27:07Wins her first food prize
27:09in this game!
27:14I'm thinking,
27:16hmm,
27:17Ria's just thrown
27:18this challenge.
27:19She's all in.
27:30This is the first time
27:32in this competition
27:32where I've won something.
27:34I'm feeling really proud
27:35of myself.
27:36I feel like my dad
27:37will watch this
27:38and feel really proud too.
27:41Ria,
27:41she just gives the win
27:43to Georgia.
27:44Ria has crossed over
27:46to the other camp.
27:47That's her first shot.
27:49And this moment right here
27:51has changed the trajectory
27:52of the whole game.
27:54Well,
27:54they call it
27:55Georgia Endurance Lines.
27:57How about that, mate?
28:00Yes.
28:02I feel like
28:03you went to
28:04a very special place
28:05just then.
28:06I did.
28:07What was your happy place?
28:08Actually,
28:09the water.
28:10Just imagining myself
28:11just being in the water.
28:12It was very impressive.
28:13I thought you went
28:13to a Cheeseland place
28:15because you have
28:16picked up that reward.
28:17So happy.
28:17A lovely,
28:18relaxing afternoon
28:19with cheese and crackers.
28:20And now I'm going to ask you,
28:21who do you want
28:22to bring with you?
28:23I would love
28:23to bring Nick's.
28:24I think just
28:25we haven't spent
28:26the last few days together
28:27obviously being separated.
28:28Just would have been
28:29really nice
28:30to just spend
28:30some time
28:31with my OG gal.
28:32Oh my God,
28:33I get to eat!
28:36You know what?
28:37I'm feeling generous.
28:39I think you can
28:40pick one more person.
28:42Who's that person
28:43going to be?
28:44My people-pleasing
28:45self struggles
28:46in this moment.
28:48Take Liv.
28:49Liv,
28:50do you want to come?
28:50I would love to come.
28:52That's okay.
28:53I love gherkins.
28:56There'll be plenty
28:57of gherkins
28:58for you there, Liv.
28:59Georgia also earned
29:00the power
29:01to put up two people
29:02in tonight's
29:02elimination battle.
29:03Think long and hard
29:04about who that's going to be.
29:05Ria doesn't want
29:06to be the one
29:07to put her original
29:08teammates up
29:09for elimination,
29:10but she wants us gone.
29:13And giving that power
29:14over to Georgia
29:15without a fight
29:16is her saying
29:18it's time for us
29:19to start picking off
29:19the boys.
29:20All right.
29:21Everyone,
29:22head back to your
29:22kaiinga
29:23and prepare yourselves
29:24for elimination
29:24where loyalties
29:26will be tested
29:27and people will go home.
29:28We'll see you later.
29:29Good luck.
29:31Obviously,
29:31I put Georgia
29:32up for elimination
29:33the night before.
29:36I might be
29:37going home tonight.
29:44I just expected
29:45Ben to just
29:46smoke us all again.
29:48So did I.
29:49I thought this was
29:49his game.
29:50It's his pick today.
29:51I think his feet
29:51were too big.
29:52Yeah, yeah.
29:53It looked like it
29:53a little bit.
29:56I'm gutted
29:56because I did so well
29:58the last time
29:58we did a similar contest
29:59and now my head's
30:00going to be on
30:01the chopping block.
30:01I'm pretty certain of it.
30:11The last nine days
30:14I've eaten
30:14beans
30:15and rice.
30:17Oh my goodness me.
30:20I am so happy.
30:25I can't believe
30:27that the three of us
30:29left at the end
30:30with three wahine.
30:31I know.
30:33That felt so good.
30:34When Rhea got down,
30:36I think just that
30:37moment there
30:38just changed the
30:39mindsets of every
30:40single person
30:41that was standing there.
30:43Now the game begins.
30:45This is our opportunity
30:46to make a really
30:48strong move
30:50because I don't know
30:51if this opportunity
30:52is going to come
30:52around again for us.
30:54All right, Georgia,
30:55what are we going to do?
30:57If we look at the maths,
30:58currently it's four
30:59of us versus four guys.
31:01We have
31:03Zion,
31:04we've got Frank,
31:05we've got Louis
31:06and we've got Ben.
31:07I feel like Ben
31:08is the current biggest threat.
31:10So then the question is
31:11who would take him out?
31:15Zion's taken out
31:16two of our strongest players.
31:18I think Zion
31:19is very, very,
31:21a very strong player.
31:22I just don't know
31:23where his head is sitting
31:24in terms of that
31:25advantage card.
31:25If anyone could take
31:27our Ben, it's Zion.
31:28But at the same time,
31:30we need to put Louis
31:32in there
31:32because I feel like
31:34Louis is a bigger threat
31:35than Zion.
31:37I think Louis.
31:39Do you guys reckon
31:40that Louis is kind of like
31:42the godfather?
31:46For Georgia and Nick,
31:49they're trying to reshape
31:50the alliances,
31:51not being Takapu
31:53and Kahu
31:54and reshape them
31:54into Tane
31:55and Wahine.
31:57I think you're bang on.
32:00That is my one
32:02thing that I wrestle with
32:03in all of this
32:04is that I,
32:05like, I could never
32:06put Louis up.
32:07Louis has been, like,
32:08my best mate
32:09and a huge part
32:10of my experience
32:11here.
32:13Yeah, so punch it
32:13right through first,
32:14like, straight down,
32:15yeah, and then bring it down.
32:16Get hold of your hand,
32:17quick push your arm.
32:18Oh!
32:18That's a perfect kidnap.
32:21Whole hand?
32:22Yeah.
32:22I feel like we have
32:23an almost sibling relationship.
32:25Oh, no.
32:26Oh, you made me laugh
32:27when I got your skin.
32:28Feels like an older brother.
32:31Really?
32:34I can't,
32:35I can't find it in myself
32:36yet to put Louis up.
32:40I think this is the moment
32:41where I need to decide
32:42if I want to do this.
32:45Sorry.
32:46No, you're welcome.
32:47Apologise.
32:47Like, I also just feel like
32:51in such a short amount
32:52of time,
32:52I've made, like,
32:53crazy connections
32:55with you both as well.
32:56So, yeah.
32:58Yeah.
33:00The thing that still
33:01makes me a bit on edge
33:03is just
33:03seeing how close
33:06Liv is with Louis.
33:07When you have an alliance,
33:08you want it to be
33:10solid in the plan,
33:12100%,
33:13and I just don't feel
33:14that 100%
33:16from Liv.
33:17I think it'll be me
33:19and Ben tonight.
33:20If you fire that shot
33:20and you miss,
33:22that's a risky move,
33:24but, uh,
33:26you've got to be sure
33:27what you're doing
33:28because if you let Ben back in
33:29and he's there to play
33:30tomorrow, you know,
33:31if you let me back in,
33:34it's game on.
33:35Girls,
33:36if they want to fire
33:37the first shot,
33:38they better pull it off.
33:43What the heck is this?
33:50It's scary walking
33:51into elimination.
33:52We didn't see Nix
33:53live in Georgia
33:54and have a chance to chat,
33:55plead our case.
33:58They're coming up behind us.
34:03So it's the complete unknown.
34:05I just thought to myself,
34:06prepare for the worst.
34:07And the worst for me
34:09is going up against
34:10Ben or Louis.
34:12Welcome to elimination.
34:14Whoever loses this battle
34:15will be gone from
34:16the island and the game,
34:18missing out on their chance
34:19at $100,000 for their charity.
34:21But before the battle begins,
34:22we need to find out
34:23who's going up.
34:24Georgia,
34:25come on up.
34:26It's definitely feeling
34:27like a team decision.
34:28It's feeling like
34:29it's the right decision.
34:30And regardless of
34:32who ends up coming back,
34:33we're losing a strong
34:34player in the game.
34:37Georgia,
34:37who are you putting up first?
34:41Ben,
34:41I'm going to be
34:42putting you up tonight.
34:43You are
34:45what I would consider
34:46the strongest player
34:46in this game.
34:47I don't want to be
34:48facing you
34:50if I manage
34:51to get to the end.
34:52It's all good.
34:53I appreciate that,
34:53George.
34:55And who will be
34:56going up against Ben?
34:58Ugh!
35:07Zion,
35:08I'm going to be
35:08putting you up tonight
35:09as well.
35:10We're all sitting there
35:12waiting for Zion
35:13to play his card.
35:17And he doesn't play it.
35:19If Zion doesn't win this,
35:21we come home
35:22with Ben and Louie.
35:26It's all good.
35:26It's all part of the game,
35:28Georgia.
35:28I know you have to do it.
35:30I always said
35:31for this advantage,
35:32I wasn't going to use it today
35:33because you have threats
35:35in this game.
35:35At the end of the day,
35:36you have to beat them.
35:38And if I don't beat them now,
35:39I'm just delaying it
35:40for later on in the game.
35:43Ben, Zion,
35:44third time each
35:46in the Elimination Arena.
35:48For one of you,
35:49this will be your last.
35:51Zion the Giant Slayer
35:52gets a chance
35:53to add another notch
35:54to his belt
35:55and take down
35:55who I believe
35:57is the best player
35:58in the game.
36:00All right,
36:00battlers,
36:01here are your rules.
36:03You will have
36:03half an hour
36:04to build a tower
36:05using a pile of tiles.
36:06You can win
36:07by being the first person
36:08to build your tower
36:09higher than the measuring stick
36:10or by having
36:12the highest tower
36:12after 30 minutes.
36:14It needs to stand
36:14for 10 seconds.
36:15If it does,
36:16you win.
36:17Loser,
36:18goes home
36:18missing out
36:19on the $100,000
36:20grand prize
36:20for their charity.
36:21Ben,
36:22Zion,
36:24take your marks.
36:25Oh,
36:26looks like it's my time
36:27to tick off
36:28one more
36:28in the hit list.
36:29Big Ben's coming down.
36:33Ben,
36:34remind us of your charity.
36:35Jaden,
36:36I'm playing for
36:36Heart Kids New Zealand.
36:38Heart Kids New Zealand

36:43and essential services

36:47who require heart surgery.
36:48Awesome, Ben.
36:51And Zion,
36:52who are you playing for?
36:53I'm proud to be playing
36:54for Koruke, Jaden.
36:56They help seriously ill children
36:57and disabled children

37:00and live out their dreams,
37:01so I'm more than happy
37:02to be helping them.
37:03Awesome, Zion.
37:06Right, Ben,
37:07Zion,
37:08kua rite.
37:09Hi.
37:09I'm ready.
37:10See you, Mata.
37:12Both men have half an hour
37:13to build this tower.
37:16I have a nine-year-old daughter
37:17at home.
37:18I've spent a lot of time
37:19building towers with blocks,
37:20so I know a thing or two
37:22about this.
37:22And what I do know
37:23is that given the conditions,
37:25this tower is going to have
37:26to have a very wide base.
37:29I'm very aware of this wind,
37:30so I need this tower
37:32to have a strong foundation.
37:34Both men going with
37:35different strategies early.
37:38That's dumb.
37:41I've never built a tower before.
37:43It can't be that hard.
37:45I just have to make it tall
37:46and it not fall over.
37:48Like, how hard can that be?
37:53Turns out it's very hard.
38:02I know that this is a game
38:04of patience and precision.
38:06Trying to go too fast
38:07and too high too quickly
38:08is only going to result
38:10in the tower being blown over.
38:11I just take my time
38:13putting each tile
38:14into place carefully,
38:16making a large first layer.
38:19Zion putting a second layer on,
38:21deciding to go straight up.
38:25What would you do?
38:27Similar to being wide base.
38:31Zion, I don't think
38:32he's got his base down
38:33as solid as he needs it to be.
38:37He's having a few more collapses.
38:39I don't even think
38:40Ben has had a collapse.
38:43Bloody wind.
38:50Just like that,
38:52Zion's tower tumbles.
38:54What have I done?
38:55What have I done?
38:55What have I done?
38:56I've just put myself
38:57up on the chopping block.
38:58Ben's going to come back.
38:59I'm going to go out tomorrow.
39:00like,
39:01ugh!
39:08Ben on his fifth layer.
39:10Zion working on his foundation.
39:12But anything can change.
39:15You have 15 minutes left.
39:17Halfway.
39:19Ben's is here
39:20and Zion's still,
39:22like,
39:24he's still way behind Ben.
39:33I'm just thinking,
39:35just keep building.
39:35Just keep building.
39:36Fight till the end.
39:38Do your best
39:38and never give up.
39:41Right, both players
39:42have 10 minutes to go.
39:45Ben's being really smart
39:46about this.
39:47He has got to a point
39:48that he realizes
39:48Zion can't possibly catch up.
39:50So he's just
39:51stopping.
39:55Ben wondering
39:56whether to go any higher.
39:58He's so calm and connected.
40:00But slowly,
40:02Zion starts
40:03to make some headway.
40:05Zion working
40:06on his fifth layer.
40:07Ben has eight.
40:09All right,
40:09you've got five minutes to go.
40:11I need to move here.
40:17Ben keeping a close eye
40:18on Zion's tower.
40:21Zion moving quicker now.
40:23Trying to catch Ben.
40:23Ben goes down
40:24for more tiles.
40:29Zion has cracked his pattern.
40:31Can he build them fast enough?
40:33I'm keeping a close eye on Zion
40:35and he's figured out
40:36a building technique
40:37with these tiles
40:38that actually works.
40:40Zion can catch up
40:40and overtake me.
40:42Zion quickly catching up to bed.
40:45You've got one minute left.
40:48Just stay, come on.
40:55And just like that,
40:56the top of Ben's tower falls.
40:58Zion now
40:59takes the lead.
41:04Oh my God.
41:06Could Zion do this?
41:08Ben, I can see,
41:09is sort of starting to panic.
41:14You've got 30 seconds.
41:16When I start counting down
41:17from 10,
41:18step back.
41:19They need to stand
41:19for 10 seconds.
41:22Ben,
41:23furiously trying to get
41:24more height on his tower.
41:30Ben's best move
41:31would be to not touch
41:32his tower from this point.
41:33Zion does not have enough time
41:34to catch Ben.
41:38Ben's tower falls again.
41:42That's time.
41:43Step back.
41:4410.
41:459.
41:468.
41:477.
41:496.
41:505.
41:524.
41:533.
41:542.
41:551.
41:56Zion wins the challenge.
41:59Ben,
42:01going home.
42:07The plan worked.
42:10And once again,
42:11Zion,
42:12the giant slayer,
42:13takes out the strongest
42:15player in the game.
42:22I told you.
42:24I told you.
42:24Giant slayer.
42:32Ben, you were a huge threat
42:34in this game.
42:35It was hard to find a strength
42:36that you didn't have.
42:37And you came in
42:38and showed up
42:39every challenge.
42:40You've been in here
42:41three times
42:42and gave it your all.
42:44You're also going home
42:45with 5k for your charity.
42:47any final words?
42:48Any final words?
42:49First of all,
42:50I just want to say
42:50it's an honour
42:52to be beaten
42:52by this man here.
42:54This has been a journey
42:55unlike any that I've ever...
43:00Unlike any that I've been on
43:01in my whole life.
43:03And my cup
43:03is absolutely
43:06overflowing.
43:07So I thank you.
43:11Ben, your time
43:12on Treasure Island
43:13has come to an end
43:13and it's been an honour
43:14to be a part
43:15of your journey.
43:16Haere rā.
43:17Tūrao Hawaiki.
43:18Say your goodbyes
43:19and head on out.
43:20I know that I'll be wishing
43:21things had maybe
43:23gone my way
43:24but when it's your time,
43:26it's your time
43:26and for whatever reason
43:28this is my time
43:29to leave the game.
43:32See you on the outside.
43:33Yeah.
43:34I'm just grateful.
43:36I'm really grateful
43:36to have been invited
43:38onto this island
43:39and been able
43:40to experience this.
43:42I'll never forget it.
43:43I'll never experience
43:43anything like this again.
43:46I can't believe it.
43:49Now he's gone.
43:50We don't have to worry
43:51about him anymore.
43:52This could be like
43:53the game-changing moment
43:54for us women.
43:56It really could be.
43:58Zion,
43:59incredible performance
44:00once again.
44:01It would have been easy
44:02to stand back
44:02with one minute left
44:03and accept defeat
44:04but you kept at it
44:05and you walked away
44:06with the victory.
44:08You've also...
44:11You must be getting
44:11a couple of them now.
44:14Awesome, Zion.
44:15You can take a seat.
44:21In the final treasure hunt,
44:22name one rival,
44:23their path will be halted.
44:25A five-minute time penalty
44:27holding them in place
44:28while you press on.
44:29That's not motivation
44:30to be in the final three.
44:31I don't know what is.
44:33Just seven of you
44:34remain on Treasure Island.
44:36Every day you play
44:37is one step closer
44:38to victory
44:39and the all-important treasure.
44:41Head back to your kainga.
44:42Rest up.
44:43Hei apopo.
44:45Thanks, Zion.
44:46I have maybe given us
44:48four wahine
44:50an actual shot
44:51at taking this out,
44:53which is crazy.
44:56The wheels are in motion,
44:58the plan is working,
45:00and it's only day one.
45:02Like,
45:03what else can we achieve?
45:09next time.
45:13Holy Toledo.
45:15The more that we can
45:16knock out the males,
45:17the better chance
45:17that we have
45:18of getting three of us
45:19into the finals.
45:20It's the girls.
45:22We really need
45:23to get rid of Louis.
45:25He's massively in our way.
45:27This is the boys.
45:29I haven't been
45:30in a position of power.
45:31I'd like to take
45:32this one out.
45:33There's moves being made
45:35that I'm not a part of.
45:37My most important ally
45:38has different plans for me.
