00:00Previously on Celebrity Treasure Island.
00:03So we go out into the water and cards are revealed about, you know, this potential alliance.
00:09We ask Rhea, like, where are you at?
00:12Does she have an alliance with Ben?
00:14Georgia made a risky move.
00:16I'm so conflicted about playing this.
00:18It's always been my, like, motivation to have a woman win this thing.
00:22And Rhea steps off.
00:24Georgia takes out this challenge.
00:27That paid off.
00:28Rhea's just thrown this challenge.
00:31She's all in.
00:33And the girls fired the first shot.
00:36Ben, I'm gonna be putting you up tonight.
00:38That saw Zion.
00:41Zion wins the challenge.
00:43Ben, going home.
00:46Send another giant home.
00:48The plan works.
00:50And it's only day one.
00:51Like, what else can we achieve?
01:00The two first who was in.
01:01Is that this?
01:02Is that this?
01:07Is that this?
01:10Do you, like that?
01:12Do you think about this?
01:28Well, you know, we've already spent a lot of the time in this game?
01:57It's day 10 on Celebrity Treasure Island, and things are feeling pretty cool in camp.
02:05There's this light feeling in camp, like the wolf is gone, like everyone is intense, maybe
02:11people are feeling more hopeful about their gameplay, or he was definitely the strongest
02:15player remaining, and I feel like everyone's a bit more relaxed.
02:18Oh, I meant it's actually quite cold.
02:23There's a storm coming, Frank.
02:27Hang on, are you saying that as Zion the Lion Killer, or are you saying that as just...
02:32I think you mean Zion the Giant Slayer.
02:36The Giant Slayer, that's cool.
02:38I just want to make it clear, because Frank Bunce has been saying that I came up with
02:42it.
02:42I did not come up with it.
02:43That's not in my nature.
02:44I didn't come up with it.
02:46You know, as much as we're enemies when we're playing, we're friends outside of it, especially
02:51for Frank Bunce.
02:52Goodness me.
02:53Like, I love sport.
02:54I love rugby.
02:56He's taught me lessons that I can use for the game, but in real life too.
02:59There's still more in me, that I can compete, that if you have a little bit of confidence
03:05in yourself, you can do well.
03:07Oh, that must mean a lot to you, Frank.
03:10Frank?
03:12Earth to Frank.
03:13I'm going down, have a little walk, see what temperature the water is.
03:19And then, I see a little pouch.
03:34I'll take that back and I'll share it with the camp.
03:36Oh my God, Frank.
03:41Looked like a good guy, looked like a good team player in the meantime.
03:44When our haven began to fail, we hid the gold deep beneath the sand and marked its resting
03:51place with the symbols of our refuge, a path only the faithful would understand.
03:56Storms split our markers, some were carried off by those who fled.
04:01Others were copied by hands who only thought they knew their meaning.
04:05But over time, truth blurred, memory faltered.
04:08Now the symbols lie scattered, half forgotten and misplaced across sand, rock and water.
04:14For many have followed the signs.
04:16Not all have found what they were looking for.
04:21I just, I'm like, I don't know what this means.
04:24Is there treasure in a cave?
04:27But I'm hoping that this story is going to keep evolving and revealing itself.
04:32All comes back to the symbols, eh?
04:34Yeah.
04:35Yeah, for sure.
04:36How does that relate to food?
04:37Sorry Louie, I can't promise you food, but I can promise you a good time.
04:44If your definition of a good time is torrential rain so bad your clothes go full transparent mode.
04:51Feels like rain's coming.
04:54Get it here you lot!
04:58I haven't won any charity challenges.
05:02Morena.
05:03Morena.
05:05Louie.
05:06How many have you won?
05:07Two?
05:08Oh, sit down.
05:09Ria, you've won ten?
05:11Oh, you fellas.
05:12Go to bed.
05:14Ata maori, eh?
05:16I want to know from you guys, who's surprised that they're still here?
05:21Everyone?
05:22So what about for you, Zion?
05:24People are nicknaming you the giant slayer.
05:26Yeah, I know.
05:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:27I don't know how, yeah.
05:28He started that nickname.
05:32He's like, hey Frank, what if you call me the...
05:35I had no choice.
05:36I had to.
05:37Hey, we can all give ourselves nicknames.
05:39I tried to make mine big for free, but didn't catch on for some reason.
05:45All right, who wants to win $5,000 for their charity?
05:48I like to call this one, get rich or try rhyming.
05:52And here's how it's going to go down.
05:54Two at a time, you'll step up to my rhyme line.
05:58Ready for a head-to-head word battle.
06:03No, no, I'm a Snoop Dogg fan.
06:06That's about as close as I come to, you know, to rapping.
06:08I'll give you a starter word like cat, boat or love,
06:12and then you'll need to volley rhyming lines back and forth.
06:17Perfect.
06:18I can rhyme all day, every day.
06:21I'm like, that's my job.
06:22If you freeze up, repeat a rhyme or simply lose your flow,
06:27then you're out.
06:28We'll play this in rounds.
06:30The winner moving on tournament style
06:32until ultimately we're left with one rhyming champion.
06:36All right, who's ready to lose themselves in the music?
06:39Let's go.
06:40You know, I've got lots of teenagers
06:43and every time we do road trips,
06:45I've got to listen to them having those battles
06:48in the back of the car.
06:52All right, your starter word is beans.
06:58When you're ready.
06:59I am so sick of eating goddamn beans.
07:03That's the only way we have to get any beans.
07:06Oh, damn.
07:08He cleans.
07:11Yeah, and Nick's is now fucked.
07:17That's all I had.
07:18Holy moly.
07:20I am a blizzard.
07:23Let it go through.
07:25Rapping is not a viable career option for me
07:29post-short on the street.
07:30Oh, no.
07:31The rain is so cold.
07:33Porsche's socks.
07:34They're so dirty.
07:35There's mould.
07:36Mould in my socks?
07:37Oh, no.
07:38I want to go.
07:39Polly had yarns.
07:41She always had something to tell.
07:44He knows he's done.
07:46Georgia just steamrolls me,
07:48and I have to try again tomorrow.
07:50Who wants to come in here and be host?
07:53You know, Bree's told us that to even up the numbers,
07:56she's part of the competition.
07:58There's no way that I really want to go up against Bree.
08:02Here's Frank Bunce.
08:04He looks like my beach.
08:07Timing is not Frank's forte.
08:10I'm just waiting for...
08:11But he's not.
08:12He just likes to teach.
08:14I wander around.
08:15Some people...
08:16I surprised myself.
08:19I don't know where that came from.
08:20But it worked.
08:22It got me through.
08:25Ooh, god damn.
08:27That's nice.
08:28Ooh, oh, my gosh.
08:30She's really nice.
08:32That made me sick.
08:34Georgia, tell me.
08:35Where is your sand?
08:37Oh, no.
08:38It fell right through my hand.
08:41Damn, damn, damn, damn.
08:42Frank is getting all the old man advantages.
08:45We're like, we don't care that he's out of time,
08:48that he's missing the beat.
08:50What a love.
08:51Look at this land.
08:52Oh, my God.
08:53Oh, my goodness.
08:54Look.
08:55Yeah, I'm just telling you.
08:56Oh, no.
09:00What do they say?
09:01What's that saying?
09:02It's like pride comes before a fall.
09:05Frank, I can't see.
09:07Pride's going through.
09:08You know, I've got rid of Georgia.
09:10Turns out she wasn't much of a magician after all, was she?
09:13Couldn't conjure up anything.
09:14Anything, but that's what confusion does to you.
09:16Anyway, I'm going in with the same tactic in the final with Nick's.
09:23Are you guys ready?
09:25Frank, your starting word is brie.
09:29Brie?
09:30Oh.
09:32Okay.
09:35I wouldn't mind seeing big brie.
09:42Where has this Frank been?
09:45Who are you?
09:46Hey, you'll have to check out their goddamn knee.
09:53One, two, three.
09:55Oh, goddamn.
09:57Looks like a flea.
10:01I'm going to climb up the next big tree.
10:05Oh, I see.
10:07Oh.
10:08Just like me.
10:12What are we doing?
10:13What are we doing, brie?
10:16I'm going to say Nick's is out.
10:18Frank!
10:21Who would have thought the old guy won the rapping competition?
10:25You know what, Frank?
10:26Always happy to get the girls out for charity.
10:29So you're welcome, mate.
10:30Five grand going to your charity.
10:32Can you tell us who that is?
10:33A local charity called My Lighthouse out in Pukekohe.
10:37You know, times are tough and a lot of people, a lot of families are suffering through no fault of
10:41their own.
10:42They just aid families in medical issues, financial, counselling.
10:46There's so many areas and it's just a hand up for families struggling.
10:50So I thought that sounds great.
10:54Winning money to be able to help other people is so awesome.
10:58So a lot of good comes out of charity challenges.
11:02Guys, I think it's time to head back to your kai-nga and get dry as you can because that
11:06face-off is just around the corner.
11:08We'll see you there.
11:09Off you go.
11:11Oh, my God.
11:14Holy hell.
11:16I'm wet down to my undies.
11:27Oh.
11:28It's like a movie day but without a movie.
11:31Yeah.
11:31Tell us some stories, Louie.
11:33Okay.
11:34Is there an item of food that's like a top five thing you've eaten in your life?
11:40Oh, Louie, always with the perfect question for any occasion.
11:44Grease and an octopus.
11:45On a sunny day, looking out at the water.
11:49I couldn't ever be there.
11:51What about you, Frank?
11:52What's your thing?
11:53This dish that my mother used to make, it's a new way in dish.
11:56My mother is new way in.
11:59She came to New Zealand when she was a young girl.
12:02It was obviously her parents that made the move to better their lives and to, you know, give their children,
12:08you know, more of a chance.
12:09Did she come out with her whole family?
12:13Like a lot of the islanders that came to better themselves and to get work and steady work and, you
12:19know, try and do the best for their family.
12:21We didn't have a lot, but we had a great life.
12:24And it's not until, you know, later in life that you really get to appreciate what your parents actually sacrificed
12:30for you.
12:32Do you still have your mum, Frank?
12:34No, no.
12:35She went about 10 years ago now.
12:40My father died early.
12:42He died when he was 55 of a heart attack.
12:45Now that I'm this age and you think 55 is too young, way too young, because he worked, like, two
12:51full-time jobs at the same time.
12:53No wonder that he struggled like he did.
12:56My name's the same, didn't go to the hospital, didn't tell no one that she needed to.
13:01I miss them, you know, a lot.
13:04You know, my mother's been gone 10 years and she was the person that held all of the family together,
13:09every, you know, ups and downs.
13:10It's so often and finally, matriarchs like that hold everything together.
13:16We were there with my mother when she died.
13:19My father died by himself.
13:22That's the hard part.
13:25Kind of died alone, you know, and he shouldn't have.
13:28If I could spend time again, I'm sure my mother would understand.
13:33And I'd go with my father and just tell him that, you know, how much we loved him and how
13:41much we appreciated what he did.
13:47If I had that chance again, you know, I'd take it without, without, without fail.
13:54Yeah, like, those, those poets in our life, they're not, they're not here forever, you know.
14:01Don't leave things left unsaid, eh?
14:03It's, man, such a lesson.
14:06You've got a knack, Louis, with people.
14:09Ask good questions, you know, he's, he's a real.
14:13He's brought us all together as well, I reckon.
14:15The more time we spend together, the more we're starting to hear the most incredible stories about our lives outside
14:24of this.
14:25The most beautiful part about this experience is just getting to be across someone and you around a fire, hearing
14:32your story.
14:38I wonder what our thing's going to be today.
14:41Hey, guys, what are we whispering about?
14:45Every time we lose a player, it's very sad.
14:48Oh, come on, you're not that sad.
14:51The moment that Ben left, I think it solidified Rhea being part of the alliance as well,
14:58because we were unsure where she stood with Ben and if her and Ben had an alliance.
15:02I wonder what today will hold.
15:04Go, go home.
15:06The four of us gals have had a chance to kind of chat about, you know, when we head into
15:11the face-off,
15:11let's help each other if we can, so that it gives us a chance at having that power to choose
15:15in the elimination tonight.
15:17You would have thought I'd be the last of them.
15:22I know.
15:25The more that we can knock out the males, the better chance that we have of getting three of us
15:30into the finals.
15:33It might be time to put your plan into action.
15:36I just hope your plan includes a good, bloody raincoat.
15:51This sucks.
15:56I just want to be inside.
15:58I was perfectly parked up, in and out of naps, having a chat, a hot water, some rice and beans.
16:04I never would have thought that would be the best option, given any circumstance.
16:08Oh, my God.
16:10I never want it to be cold again.
16:13The weather is atrocious.
16:16It is driving rain.
16:18It is freezing cold.
16:21Woo!
16:22Woo!
16:26What a day to play some games, eh?
16:31Holy Toledo.
16:34Rain, hail, or shine, we press on.
16:38No way hooking way to another individual face-off.
16:41Who here thrives in the rain?
16:45Who here's wet down to their undies?
16:48Yeah.
16:48Yeah.
16:49I tell you what, the far north, she turns it on, doesn't she?
16:53Can you see?
16:55I can't hear a thing.
16:57Should we jump into it?
16:58Yeah.
16:59Who wants to know the rules?
17:00Yeah.
17:00Okay, for this challenge, you must build an eight-leaded word on a table.
17:05Simple, right?
17:07Not quite.
17:08The table is tippy, and you must hold a rope the entire time to stop the table from falling.
17:14One at a time, you must collect your lettered blocks from the rear table.
17:19If at any point your table falls, you must pick up the blocks and return them to the rear table
17:24and begin again.
17:25First person to complete their puzzle and have it standing for 10 seconds, wins.
17:31The winner will select two people to face off in tonight's elimination battle, where one of you will go home
17:36missing out on your chance at $100,000 for your charity.
17:40I am so determined to try and win this, so that I can be in a position to decide on
17:46the elimination.
17:47All the other girls feel the same way, so we're just going into this and trying our darndest.
17:51And as always, guys, I've got a little something-something to sweeten the deal, especially in this rain.
17:57Who here likes butter?
17:58Me!
17:59Who here likes chicken?
18:01Me!
18:01Oh, you're going to love this, then.
18:03It's a bowl of chicken!
18:08That's right, this kiwi favourite.
18:10A little bit spicy, a little bit creamy, naan bread included, and your guys' favourite, rice.
18:18It's got it all.
18:20Who thinks that's worth playing for?
18:21Me, absolutely.
18:23All right, let's do it!
18:24Yeah.
18:24Let's go!
18:26The prospect of the rain and the weather is daunting, but also it's like, wow, we're here, let's just get
18:30into it.
18:31You know, that kind of attitude, which is quite fun as well, and it also might feel quite epic.
18:38All right, everyone ready for the individual face-off?
18:44Three mata!
18:47All players need to figure out their eight-letter word.
18:50Once they have it, they can build it on their tippy table.
18:55T-R-E-A-S-U-R-E?
19:00T-R-E-A-S-U-R-E?
19:13Give them the feel for the balance of their table!
19:18I'm starting to feel a bit nervous because I feel like there's moves being made that I'm not a part
19:25of.
19:26Really, if I don't win this, I have no idea what way the elimination will go.
19:42The ropes are wet.
19:44Fingers will be cold.
19:46It makes the grip very much harder!
19:49This is where it's going to come down to this.
19:54Not your forehead, your brain.
19:56Re-erasing out with her third.
20:05I don't know how she's doing it.
20:06I'm spelling treasure wrong.
20:08I started spelling treasure wrong on the second block.
20:15This is where the lack of, like, variety of food
20:18is coming into play, where I'm just full of beans and rice.
20:25Frank and Rea both have four blocks on their table.
20:29This is a pretty important face-off.
20:32I haven't been in a position of power.
20:34Praying they don't fall.
20:38This will give me a little bit of say,
20:40a little bit of sway in the game.
20:42I'd like to take this one out.
20:45Frank's blocked four.
20:46He needs to start again.
20:49Go back.
20:51Now I need to slow down.
20:52The rate at which I'm going back.
20:54The faster you go back, the more you jerk on the rope.
20:59Wind's kind of pounding the blocks.
21:01And every block higher the tower gets.
21:04It's, you know, it's sort of teetering on the edge.
21:09Rea's blocks fall.
21:11Ugh.
21:12But I am not dissuaded.
21:16I start again.
21:18Nyx in the lead now.
21:20Right now I'm supporting Nyx,
21:22because she's the closest to getting us all out of here.
21:25Nyx has been going slow and steady from the very start.
21:29Now it pays off.
21:32You've got rain just pouring down on you.
21:35But just like everything else,
21:38hey, things might not be in your favour,
21:41but man, you get in there and you give it everything you've got.
21:47The weather's testing my patience,
21:48and then this border starts to test my patience.
21:52It's really hard.
21:53And bear in mind, the rain is just smashing me.
21:56The wind's smashing me.
21:58Oh, oh no.
22:01Zion's blocks drop.
22:02It's smashing down my tower.
22:04It's not going well.
22:08Rea and Frank.
22:10Four blocks.
22:12Caught back up to Nyx.
22:14Louis follows close by.
22:16So does Liv.
22:19It was at this point before
22:21where Frank's blocks fell.
22:24They fall again.
22:25I'm frustrated at myself,
22:27because I'm telling myself what I need to do,
22:29but I haven't quite got the time to do it.
22:32So I've got to really slow down.
22:35This is not my challenge.
22:37Every time I stack the blocks,
22:39I will just forget about it and walk back to the other blocks.
22:42And it would topple over.
22:45Louis blocks drop.
22:47Can Ria keep her blocks standing this time?
22:51As if the rain wasn't enough,
22:53the wind's picking up as well.
23:00Next with five blocks.
23:02She needs three more.
23:05I'm so slow.
23:07And I'm just staring at my letters.
23:10And I'm just so slow.
23:13Next tower hasn't taken a tumble this whole challenge.
23:17Ria places her sixth.
23:19She needs two more blocks.
23:22Ria and Nyx,
23:24I just have such a steady hand.
23:27And they're slow, methodical.
23:29They're just working their way back,
23:31working their way forward,
23:32putting another block.
23:35Liv has five blocks on the board.
23:39Ria heading out with her seventh block.
23:50Ria places her seventh block.
23:53I just have to keep cool,
23:57take it slow,
23:59take it easy,
23:59and just focus,
24:00like laser, laser focus,
24:02on that platform.
24:07Just like that, Georgia's tower tumbles.
24:10All good, G.
24:12Ria.
24:13Ria going back for the tea.
24:14Let's hope she doesn't spill it.
24:18Ria grabbing her final block.
24:20If she can place it,
24:22make her way back to the table,
24:24she will win this challenge.
24:26Go on, Ria.
24:28Winnie butter chicken.
24:29But more importantly,
24:31the power to put two people up for elimination tonight.
24:35The rain is really coming in now.
24:46Ria places her last block.
24:49All she has to do is get back to the table.
24:52Nick's going back for her final block.
24:55Can she get that block,
24:56and get it out on her table,
24:58before Ria gets back?
25:05Oh, I can't watch.
25:07It's teetering.
25:09Ria, so close.
25:11Can she make it?
25:14Nick's about to place her final block.
25:17Can Ria keep her tower standing?
25:20She needs to get back in line with that table.
25:24It is Nick and Nick.
25:26We are a step away.
25:30The next catcher.
25:32Nick's close to her table.
25:37Ria!
25:38Win this time!
25:45I feel really proud of myself.
25:49Especially given the weather,
25:50as I don't thrive in cold conditions.
25:54Nice, Ria.
25:55Well done.
25:55I'm glad that one of my friends,
25:58someone who I've been doing this competition with since day one,
26:01since all the turmoil and all the changing of teams,
26:05she gets to experience what it feels like to have an individual in,
26:08so I'm stoked for her.
26:10Congratulations, Ria, your first individual face-off win.
26:13That was pretty to watch.
26:14Thank you so much.
26:16Butter chicken has never felt so good.
26:19Speaking of that butter chicken,
26:21of course I'm going to let you invite two other people.
26:23Who are they going to be?
26:24I'm going to take my mates,
26:26Louis and Zion.
26:28We didn't eat the meal yesterday,
26:29it's the first time,
26:30so we've got some catching up to do.
26:33Alright, lock it in,
26:34Zion and Louis.
26:35Enjoy that butter chicken.
26:36You've also earned yourself the right to choose two people to put up for elimination.
26:41Think long and hard about that decision.
26:44Everyone, time to head back to your kaiinga.
26:46Good luck getting warm and Jaden will see you later for elimination.
26:49Good luck.
26:49Thanks.
26:50See you guys.
26:59Oh my god, the elk sticks!
27:01Oh, look at this!
27:02Oh my gosh.
27:04It's the perfect reward situation.
27:06Oh my god, it's hot!
27:08I've always imagined me, Ria and Zion would go all the way to the end
27:12and we get to enjoy the best butter chicken I've ever had.
27:16Seriously, we have been eating well.
27:19Us three at least.
27:20I know.
27:21Alright.
27:22What are you thinking for elimination, Ria?
27:27Well...
27:29How are you guys feeling?
27:31I was...
27:34thinking...
27:35I might put you guys forward.
27:40The game has shifted.
27:43Who people want to see at the end has changed.
27:48My most important ally has different plans for me.
27:59I was thinking I might put you guys forward.
28:04Yeah.
28:08Louis could take out this whole competition.
28:11I think for the female alliance to continue to flourish,
28:15we need to get Louis home today.
28:17How does that sit with you?
28:18Because I just...
28:21I'd love women to get into the final, as you know.
28:24I just hope that they understand.
28:27But also I know that Zion has this advantage.
28:31He still could pull that out at some point.
28:33Thank you for being honest and respectfully.
28:36Yeah.
28:37Got to beat each other at some point.
28:38Exactly, bro.
28:39If there were two people that would just thrive and love it,
28:42it would be us.
28:43You know, that's...
28:44That's my bro over there, you know?
28:45I know.
28:46One thing I've always admired about Zion in this game
28:48is he wants to dance.
28:50And he wants to beat you straight up.
28:52No tricks, no games.
28:54Always cool, calm and collected.
28:56And if you aren't, you don't need to show.
28:58I think the way I honour that
28:59is I get in the ring and give him my best
29:02and hopefully send him home.
29:03But you also have that advantage that you can play
29:06if you don't want to.
29:07So I just thought I'd bring you guys here,
29:09see how you're feeling,
29:10because obviously you can play that if you want.
29:12And then I can make a different choice.
29:14You can play it if you don't want to verse me, bro.
29:18I have this very powerful advantage in my pocket.
29:22I can save two players from elimination.
29:25I can guarantee myself at least another day
29:27in this competition.
29:30Louis is a very competitive player and so am I.
29:33He's a threat in this competition.
29:39I need to toss up when I want to use it.
29:42And the best man win.
29:44And it seems all eyes are on Zion's massive advantage.
29:50I definitely think that this banner and the works
29:53are Zion's advantage.
29:55Like he's got today and tomorrow to play it.
29:57I'm always worried when you go into an elimination arena
29:59and not knowing if the plan is going to change.
30:01And I'm pretty sure he wants to save Frank and himself,
30:06which leaves us potentially with Louis and then one of us.
30:11I don't know how we approach that.
30:15Oy, oy, oy, oy indeed.
30:20And if that spanner isn't enough, here's another one.
30:23You know how earlier I said rain, hail or shine we press on?
30:27Well, I kind of meant like normal rain.
30:29And for safety reasons, we need to postpone elimination.
30:33This is one time where the show must not go on.
30:37So batten down the hatches and grab some buckets
30:39because it's going to be a rough night.
30:51Rough night last night with all that rain.
30:53How are we feeling this morning?
30:55Oh, goodness me.
30:56It was tough, wasn't it?
30:57Yeah.
30:57All that rain.
30:58Didn't get a lot of sleep.
30:59And now we're basically, we hunkered down
31:02and now we've just got to clean it all up.
31:05But it's like a new beginning.
31:06Fresh start.
31:06Yeah.
31:06Cleaning everything out.
31:08Cleaning out all the sand.
31:09Sun's out.
31:10Guns out.
31:11It's a new day.
31:12Sun's out, guns out.
31:12Sun's out, guns out.
31:13It's almost like a tornado went through our camp.
31:17Yeah.
31:18Well, good to see you're all still here.
31:21Head count, please.
31:23It was crazy, honestly.
31:26It came out of nowhere.
31:29It's the only hoodie I bought.
31:32Every single thing we have is wet.
31:34It was rain like I've never seen before.
31:37It was quite scary, actually.
31:38The waves, the rain, the loey.
31:41Especially sleeping in the outdoors.
31:44I'm getting the sense that it was kind of...
31:48Crazy.
31:49Crazy.
31:50Crazy.
31:51Crazy.
31:51It's just pretty wild.
31:52But we've got important things to finish this morning.
31:55I'm not sure who's up for elimination.
31:58Well, I think it's time we find out.
32:10Walking into elimination today, it's so weird because...
32:13Firstly, it's the morning.
32:15It's completely different.
32:19It would be a smart move for us as women to try and take out one of the guys and
32:25one of the strong players.
32:26Especially as we're heading towards the end.
32:28Either we're going to have to put them in now or we're going to have to face them later on.
32:37Tēnā koutou i tēnei ata.
32:38Welcome to elimination.
32:42Crazy night last night, huh?
32:43Oh, yeah.
32:45How's everyone feeling?
32:46Not stuff.
32:48How was it for you, Liv?
32:51Rainy and cold.
32:53But, no.
32:54They'll be like, oh, this is wet.
32:56Oh, and this is wet.
32:57And it was quite scary.
32:59Like, I wasn't sure if the hut was going to get swept away.
33:02How's it looking this morning?
33:03We've tidied it up quite well.
33:05So glad the sun's out.
33:06Well, awesome.
33:07As you all know, whoever loses this battle will be going from the island and the game.
33:12But before the battle begins, we need to find out who's going up.
33:15Ria, haere mai.
33:24Ria, you're in a slightly different position from anyone else who has had this power.
33:29You've had a night to dwell on this.
33:31Does that time feed into your decision making at all?
33:35Jaden, my decision was locked in last night.
33:39And the time to think overnight hasn't changed it.
33:45You know, this is always a tough call.
33:47But we all know that from here on in, someone we love is going to go home every day.
33:52So I just wanted to put up a fair battle.
33:57And today, that battle will be between Zion and Louis.
34:04Zion has taken out all the other giants.
34:06So, you know, at the moment, I think, as amazing as Zion is at the challenges,
34:10I feel like Louis is a bigger threat in the competition as a whole.
34:15Zion, you have an advantage.
34:16Do you wish to play it?
34:18Louis is a threat in this competition, a big threat.
34:21But I could really ruin these plans and make Ria scramble
34:26and send the calmness amongst the group into chaos.
34:47Zion, you have an advantage. Do you wish to play it?
34:51It doesn't get any easier.
34:53But I've taken risks in this competition.
35:01And I think I'm going to take one more.
35:05We've joked about it.
35:06Me and the bro going head to head will give each other a battle.
35:08And whether I win or lose, I'm happy either way.
35:13Louis, first time in the elimination arena.
35:15Yeah, I guess it's just my time.
35:19Zion's one of the strongest players left in this game.
35:22So I just woke him up every hour just to disturb his sleep.
35:26No, I'm fit to go.
35:31Not feeling confident going into elimination.
35:33Zion is the giant slayer for a reason.
35:36And he's beat everyone in there and I think he's going to beat me.
35:41Well, here are your rules.
35:43You will each have a pole and a ball.
35:46You must balance that ball on that pole.
35:49Every two minutes you will add a new section,
35:51making that pole longer, shakier and even tougher to hold.
35:57First person to drop the ball, loses.
36:00Goes home missing out on the $100,000 grand prize for their charity.
36:04Zion, Louis, take your marks.
36:12I'm expecting a good match up here because Zion has proven to slay the giants.
36:20And Louis is the last giant standing.
36:23So this is going to be great.
36:26Louis, remind us who you're playing for.
36:28Jaden, I'm playing for an organisation called Te Orahou.
36:32They help rangatahi achieve all their dreams and aspirations,
36:35whatever they are in life.
36:37Awesome, brother.
36:38This guy's done his so many times I could probably do it for him.
36:40You want to try it?
36:42Zion, who are you playing for?
36:44Jaden, I'm playing for Koru Kea.
36:45They help seriously ill and disabled children.
36:48Go on trips around the world,
36:49trips that they never thought they could ever go on.
36:52Awesome, brother.
36:56Louis, Zion,
36:57Koua Rite.
36:59He?
37:03Te imata.
37:10Two minutes begins now.
37:15We have the giant slayer up against the giant.
37:20Who will take this one out?
37:24I'm nervous, of course you are, because there's a chance that you go home.
37:28But I have to lock in, I have to be confident, I have to apply the mindset that I have
37:33the
37:33whole game.
37:34This win is picked up as soon as the comp started.
37:38It's the Titae Tokido gods on your side, eh?
37:41Yeah.
37:41Pawhirimate said he's going to get you a ball.
37:46At this level you can get a false sense of security, it feels easy to balance that ball
37:50as soon as those sections go on, it immediately becomes harder.
37:55All right, Louis Zion, get ready to add another piece.
37:58You now have 15 seconds to add that section.
38:02It's really relaxed at the start, but the difficulty increases huge with each stick.
38:08Ten, nine, eight.
38:11I really think the person that loses won't be because of endurance, it'll just be a loss
38:16of focus for a second.
38:16Four, three, two, one.
38:22Both men have their section added, they can no longer touch the section above.
38:27I'm feeling in control.
38:29The second one, I just feel like I have a better grip of the pole.
38:33The ball isn't moving around as much.
38:38Zion's ball rolls, he saves it.
38:41I hope each one I add feels stronger and stronger.
38:45We're here for another two minutes and then they will add another section.
38:50I think that Zion has got every possibility of taking out Louis.
38:56I worry about the wind because it's pretty strong.
39:00It's one of those challenges where you just have to do your very best and hope the other
39:04guy makes a mistake.
39:05All right, you can add your new section.
39:0915, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10.
39:16I feel really relaxed actually being in the elimination.
39:19It's either I win and I move on or I lose and I go home to my wonderful family.
39:26Three, two, one.
39:32The difference between one and three is great.
39:38All the little things you love about your kids, seeing them in the morning, cuddling
39:43them, seeing them off to koanga, it's very, very hard to be away from my family.
39:50There's a wind up there.
39:53There's ebbs or wind, there's nothing I can do about it now.
39:58But my mum and dad raised me to always try my best and if you lose, that's all good.
40:04But you should never give up.
40:08Zion's ball wobbles.
40:14I'm looking at it, looking above and I'm struggling to see the ball.
40:17And I just have to hold it straight.
40:20I do feel in some control.
40:22I'm hanging on.
40:27He saves his ball.
40:29He's been through this adversity before.
40:39Zion's pole wobbles.
40:50Zion's ball falls.
40:51Louis wins.
40:52Zion going home.
40:58You always have to lose one and I don't mind it being to Louis.
41:02He's a terrific, terrific bloke.
41:05He's played a big part in changing my perspective on the way I do things.
41:09All your stories and that, like seriously.
41:12It's actually just changed everything.
41:13I feel immediately sad saying goodbye to my mate.
41:18It's been a real privilege to get to know that dude.
41:21He's got real big things ahead of him.
41:26Zion, you came into this game unsure of what to expect and then in that first team face-off
41:32immediately proved yourself as a top contender.
41:36You've come into this elimination arena and succeeded not once, not twice, but three times
41:43against huge players in this game.
41:46You've played a game that is definitely worthy of a report, my friend.
41:51Any final words?
41:52Thanks, Jaden.
41:53Yeah, it's been the time of my life.
41:58What a ride.
41:59What a ride.
42:00Coming onto the island, I thought we were here to have a laugh, play some games.
42:05But it's deeper than that.
42:07Yeah, I just want to say to you guys, you're so special.
42:10Seriously, what you've done for me, not a lot of time has just been amazing.
42:14Kind, compassionate and understanding as well.
42:19Honestly, I'll remember this for the rest of my life.
42:21It exceeded all my expectations and I think I leave as a better person.
42:26Zion, your time on my treasure island has come to an end.
42:31Haere rā, tūrou Hawaiki.
42:34Say your goodbyes and head on out.
42:39He's such a nice person and he's blossomed.
42:42I miss having you around, bro.
42:44Thanks that you've been here.
42:45It's been a pleasure.
42:46All right.
42:46You're a good man.
42:47I think Zion now has more self-belief.
42:51He's kind of wise, you know, beyond his years.
42:53He's that type of person.
42:55Go well, everyone.
42:56Thanks, Jaden.
42:56Go hard.
42:56Thanks, Jaden.
43:00I eliminated some pretty big names and some pretty big names that a lot of people would
43:05thought would go on and win this competition or at least be in the final three.
43:09You're a giant slayer.
43:10I hope it sticks.
43:20Louis, congratulations.
43:22You have taken out the giant slayer.
43:26But you have also won yourself this, my friend.
43:31That is a big one.
43:32I would keep it to yourself.
43:35So we didn't get Louis out that time, but Zion is gone and he was a massive player.
43:41Just six of you remain on Treasure Island.
43:44Every day you play, one step closest to victory and the all-important treasure.
43:50Head back to your kāinga.
43:51Rest up.
43:53Hei opopo.
43:55Thanks, Jaden.
43:55Thanks, Jaden.
43:56Frank made top six with one knee.
44:00We really need to get rid of Louis.
44:04He's just such a strong player.
44:10He's massively in our way.
44:18Next time.
44:20That means one of us is in the final.
44:22The biggest problem is that I'm not a wahine.
44:25In the battle of the sixes.
44:27Two guys are now the targets.
44:30Weapons are drawn.
44:32This is the most powerful thing in play right now.
44:35And the tactics?
44:36Get down and dirty.
44:39Seems like a few people openly working together.
44:43I thought it was an individual challenge.
44:45Yeah, we wanna win.
44:47And?
