00:00Previously on Celebrity Treasure Island,
00:03one card...
00:04Mercy card.
00:05The most powerful thing in play right now.
00:08...became an obsession.
00:09Do you think he would use it for you?
00:11Top.
00:12And even though the wahine seized control...
00:15Rhea wins!
00:16...when the pressure mounted...
00:18What I want to do is Louis v. Liv,
00:21because that will weed that mercy card out.
00:24It was a battle of heart versus head for Rhea.
00:28I just can't do it.
00:31Frank.
00:32Frank, going home.
00:34Leaving them to face a more dangerous enemy.
00:37Now Louis has two advantages.
00:38He's in a real position of power.
00:40This card can be given to another player if you are eliminated.
00:44Another symbol that I have no idea what it means,
00:48but not everyone's going to be able to make it all the way to the end
00:51and someone's going to have to give up their chess pieces to someone else.

01:29Across the beach, media personality Polly Gillespie is sipping a cocktail.
01:33Elsewhere, actor Liv Park is reading a script
01:35before actor Ben Barrington appears in hospital scrubs,
01:38passing a clipboard to fellow actor Ria Vandevis,
01:41who both help up content creator Louis Davis.
01:44Another group run the hills as broadcaster Simon Barnett watches with a smoulder.
01:48He is revealed to be next to Portia and they narrow eyes at each other
01:51before breaking into laughter and giving each other a hug.
02:02It's day 12 on Celebrity Treasure Island and just five players remain.
02:07And for the first time in Treasure Island history, four of the final five are wahene.
02:13Liv?
02:14Just silly geese.
02:15So when you run and lose it in a barrel.
02:20Yeah, it's crazy being in the top five.
02:23Did you think you would be here?
02:25No!
02:26Neither of us thought that we would probably get to the top five.
02:30We have four wahene left, which is absolutely incredible.
02:36I feel really proud that we've obviously banded together and been working
02:40really hard to try and make that happen.
02:42The moment that I felt everything changed was when Ben got out.
02:47Same.
02:48Like...
02:48He's on stage.
02:49He's old, he's old.
02:52Ben's tower falls again.
02:54Soon as his tower fouled out, I was like, the game has changed.
03:01And just like Ben's tower, the remaining males kept falling.
03:05Zion's ball falls.
03:07Zion, going home.
03:09Frank, going home.
03:11The twist?
03:12The very player that made it all happen.
03:15And who just happens to be the last remaining Tane is still in the game.
03:20Louis?
03:21I think I might be the new wolf.
03:23And for me, I don't know if anyone's ever been to a party that no one wants them.
03:29That's what I imagine it feels like.
03:33Louis sits silently on a lounger outside near Nick's.
03:39Oh, what's that?
03:40Weep looks dry as hell.
03:42Yeah.
03:44Nick's shakes her head as Louis sits unmoved.
03:51Speaking of dry, this conversation has me parched.
04:00Nick's is such a hard person to read.
04:02But I can see the mind maths happening for her where she's trying to work out where I'm at.
04:06And she knows I'm a strategist.
04:08And she knows I'm always thinking about the game.
04:11Her preference is that I'm not here.
04:13My preference is that I am.
04:15And we look across from each other and we know what's up.
04:21Standing at the entrance to the Kaienga, Ria is subtitled, Come On.
04:27Real subtle, ladies.
04:29I'm sure Louis didn't even notice that at all.
04:33Ria says we need to have a chat as she walks with Nix.
04:36Louis smiles.
04:37Nix says me and you are, Ria finishes, on the outside.
04:41Yeah.
04:42Feels a little bit like Nix and I are on the outer.
04:45Lives in this really, really strong position where she's like in this union with our swahine.
04:51But also she's got this really strong alliance with Louis.
04:54And I feel like Georgia is sort of floating in between those two as well.
05:04I feel like I made the wrong call probably last night.
05:07I should have put Liv and Louis up against each other and forced him to play that.
05:12Play that card.
05:14Play that card.
05:14But I just couldn't do it.
05:17I think that I let my emotions get in the way of the game.
05:21You know, if we'd put up Liv, it would have forced him to use his mercy card to save her.
05:27Liv to Louis.
05:28What's going on in your brain?
05:32I still have what I think is the best advantage that anyone holds right now in the mercy card.
05:38So is your opinion changing on the mercy card?
05:42Where do you sit with it?
05:43No, it doesn't change, he says.
05:45Out, out of bounds.
05:47Huh?
05:47So it's out of bounds.
05:51That's how I currently feel.
05:53There's still a lot of moving parts in play.
05:55Ideally, the final three is me, Liv and Georgia.
06:00I respect Nix and Ria for moving the chess pieces around and playing the game.
06:05That's how they should play.
06:07But that also makes them very strong players and not someone that I want to verse on the final day.
06:14Well, while Louis plans his next move, little does he know, I'm planning a few moves of my own.
06:21Harubai, you lot!
06:24Ooh, fun!
06:26Winning 5k for the aunties would be everything.
06:31The chances of being able to do that is getting less and less for these charity challenges.
06:35So we've got to get in, we've got to win some money for the aunties.
06:38Right, today's challenge I like to call hook, line and waddle.
06:42You'll each strap on a belt that has an S hook dangling from it.
06:46This will be your secret weapon in today's challenge.
06:49On my call, you'll race out into the arena, squat down and hook rings that are scattered across the ground.
06:56Each ring is worth a different number of points and you can only hook one ring at a time.
07:02But here's a warning.
07:04The red rings are worth minus 10.
07:07But you could use those to sabotage your opponents.
07:11Once you've hooked a ring, you'll waddle back to your bucket and drop it in.
07:16I think I'm kind of good at like bending my knees and moving my hips.
07:21So yeah, let's do it.
07:24All right, who's ready to reel in 5k?
07:27Yeah, that's it.
07:31All right, round one, Ria versus Nick.
07:34Are you ready?
07:35Ready as we'll ever be.
07:37Go.
07:38Okay.
07:40All right.
07:41Me and squatting.
07:44Same sentence, doesn't happen.
07:48I'm about to see who's get leg day.
07:54Oh, get over to the bucket.
07:57I start jumping.
07:59I start swaying left to right.
08:02Nick's shimmies frantically.
08:04Yeah, not happening.
08:10Kind of like.
08:13I don't bloody know.
08:14Girls, this is a 7.35 slot.
08:18And I realise that what you need to do is kind of like squat right down so that the
08:23ring hits the bottom of the bucket, slackens that off and then you just kind of.
08:27Easy does it.
08:29Yes, there it goes.
08:31Nice.
08:31Do I get a red and put in Ria's bucket?
08:34I'm really lucky that so far Nick's has not put any red ones in
08:37and I haven't put any to hers either.
08:40I'm just really focusing on filling that bucket and getting through to the next round.
08:44One minute to go.
08:48They continue to collect the various coloured rings.
08:53Five, four, three, two, one.
08:59When the countdown stops, I look at my bucket, I look at Nick's, I think I've got it.
09:04Ria smiles.
09:06All right, round two.
09:07Louie versus Georgia versus Liv.
09:10Are we ready?
09:11Get squatting.
09:13I am aiming immediately for an orange.
09:16That's the first aim is to get as many oranges because they've got the highest points
09:20and I know there's going to be less than an offer because I'm versing two people.
09:24I don't know what I'm doing with my arms.
09:26Ah!
09:29Georgia!
09:31Are you alright?
09:33Once again, I don't know how they come up with these games.
09:36I seem to be struggling with this challenge.
09:39Louie composed and smooth.
09:42I start to find my rhythm with picking up the rings and I get a few in.
09:47Ah!
09:49I realise I might have to change my strategy.
09:52I just have to betray Louie and try and get some red ones in his bucket.
09:56Oh, you got it, Liv!
09:58Who doesn't love a good old bit of sabotage?
10:01His back was turned and I just managed to hook one.
10:04And so then I scurried and I managed to play this too secretly.
10:07Holy Rick!
10:09Sorry, Louie.
10:09Sorry, Louie.
10:10Sorry, Louie.
10:11Ten seconds!
10:12Oh!
10:13Come on, Georgia!
10:14Georgia, get this last one in!
10:16Nine!
10:17Eight!
10:18Seven!
10:19Six!
10:21Five!
10:22Four!
10:23Three!
10:25Two!
10:26One!
10:28Oh, my God!
10:29Three reds.
10:33All right, moving through to the final from round one with 44 points.
10:38It was Ria.
10:39Yay!
10:40From round two, it was Liv with 20 points.
10:44I'm so stoked!
10:45I'm so stoked to make the final.
10:47Are you guys ready?
10:48Yes!
10:49Go!
10:50Liv struggles as Ria picks up her first ring.
10:54This is worth $5,000 for your chosen charity.
10:58Liv, not off to a good start.
11:01Go, Liv!
11:02Yes!
11:03Gets that one.
11:05Nice, Ria.
11:06Ria looking like she was going to propose to someone.
11:09It's all right!
11:11Nice!
11:11Liv squats for a blue ring.
11:22I found a method that really helped me catch it, which was grunting.
11:29Every time that I grunted, I felt like it kind of just hooked.
11:32Oh!
11:34Oh!
11:35Oh!
11:36Oh!
11:36Oh!
11:37Oh, Ria!
11:38Her strategy, I've noticed from the previous round, is just to fill buckets with red hoops.
11:44No!
11:45The reds are worth minus 10, and the orange is only five.
11:49So I'm going to have to hustle.
11:5430 seconds to go.
11:57No!
11:57Oh, here comes Ria!
11:59She's going to fire back.
12:00Ria tries to get a red ring past Liv.
12:03I don't know if that's allowed.
12:06I managed to sneak one into Liv's at the last minute.
12:09That's it.
12:10All done.
12:10Let's tally those totals.
12:13I'm worried because Ria did have more rings in her basket, but also I put a couple of reds in
12:18there,
12:18so I'm hoping that that strategy can give me the win.
12:21All right, guys.
12:22I have tallied those totals.
12:24One of you scored 11 points, and the other 16.
12:30Ooh!
12:31Very tight.
12:31Very tight race.
12:33A lot of sabotage, but the person who has come out on top and won 5k for their chosen charity,
12:40is Ria!
12:43I am feeling elated that I've won that money for my charity.
12:46I feel sorry that Liv didn't get it for hers, obviously, but so stoked to be taking home
12:49another 5k for the Cancer Research Trust.
12:51$5,000 going to your charity.
12:54Can you tell us a bit more?
12:55Yeah, my charity is the New Zealand Cancer Research Trust.
12:58They're the only organisation in New Zealand that funds innovative research for all cancer types,
13:03so I'm really proud to be representing them.
13:05Something that affects so many.
13:07Great charity.
13:08Another 5k going to them.
13:10Well done.
13:10But it's time to head back to your kai-inger, guys, and get ready for that individual face-off.
13:14Let's hope you've got a lifetime of knowledge.
13:17We'll see you there.
13:19Oh, goodness.
13:22This one will be a big one.
13:23It's 4v1.
13:24If there was every time to pick up a winner, it would be now.
13:27Celebrity Treasure Island.
13:31Celebrity Treasure Island.
13:32After days of wrestling with what this women's alliance means for her friendship with Louie,
13:37Liv has finally managed to steal a moment with him.
13:41All of our time here has just been laughing from when we woke up to when we go to bed.
13:49But it feels like the environment doesn't let it feel like that anymore.
13:55You're that kid in movies that goes over and sees a kid sitting by himself.
13:59Tim goes like, I'll sit with him.
14:01Because I want to sit with you.
14:03And the, but you have to go back to your table where your friends are.
14:06But that's where I feel torn because it's like, I can't just cut off a friendship with you.
14:11So it's like, what the hell?
14:14I always want to be like to Louie, can't you just be a woman?
14:17I'm hating this.
14:19I can't please everyone.
14:20And I'm just trying to figure out how I can play my part in the titty committee
14:25while also being there for Louie at the same time.
14:31I don't like feeling like this.
14:33Next.
14:34Have you had a chance to talk to Georgia about where she sits?
14:39Because we need to.
14:41Yeah, it kind of feels like it's just me and you headstrong.
14:45I know.
14:46We know what the hell we got to do.
14:48We know what's up.
14:50So we got to win.
14:53Liv and Louie is a massive barrier to our mission.
14:56Our goal is to get all four of us to the final.
14:58Liv's got her feet in each camp and it doesn't work.
15:01She needs to choose and while I have bonded with Georgia over the last few days for sure,
15:06I just feel like she might hold strong to those highs with Liv.
15:11So just want to make a plan for this afternoon for the face off.
15:17Yes.
15:17So if it's like yesterday where we were able to help each other.
15:20Yes.
15:21Are you still keen to all pile in and help Max?
15:24Yeah.
15:24If it's more of an individual thing, like we have to go hard ourselves, we all go as hard as
15:31we can.
15:32Yeah.
15:33If you win, will you put up Louis and Liv?
15:39Right. So after things didn't go according to plan last night,
15:43the plan now is for Georgia to put up her bestie Liv.
15:48Obviously because Liv and I have developed a really lovely friendship,
15:52I just feel a little bit funny about it and we're taking a lot of guesses with this mercy card
15:57because none of us understand where Louis is at if he is actually not going to use it
16:01or if he's playing games with us, do you think that he's definitely going to play that card?
16:06Yeah. I think he would.
16:08Yeah. I think he would.
16:08Yeah.
16:09Louis is still with Liv.
16:13I think they think I'm bluffing that if we versus each other at elimination, I'd beat you there.
16:16I know. That's what I think too.
16:18And I'm like, I tried to say, if we go against each other
16:24and I lose, I'm gone.
16:27I am worried that Rhea can convince Georgia that the best move is for me to verse Liv
16:34and for them to draw my mercy card out. And my only move to ensure that this doesn't happen
16:41is that they all know I will not play it for Liv. And ironically, that's the only way that me
16:48and Liv
16:48can progress another step.
16:51I don't know if that's just the game that he's playing.
16:53Yeah, which is what I think. I think he is playing a really mindy game.
16:58Yeah.
16:59Louis is 100% playing the game. He's pretending he's not.
17:02But he's a crafty man. He's got Liv wrapped around his little finger.
17:05He's playing the game hard.
17:07Do you think we should have that chat with her and give her a heads up?
17:10I feel like she would just say, don't do it because she'll think he won't.
17:14But I'd be so surprised if he didn't play it for her.
17:19For me, if I'm going to put her up against Louis, I need to kind of communicate that with Liv.
17:25And it seems like Rhea's not that keen for me to have that chat.
17:29I don't know if that's because she thinks I will be persuaded another way.
17:33But I understand the logic of needing to force the hand of the mercy card.
17:39I think if I did have to make that call, then I would probably just give her a heads up.
17:43Just let her know that that's what's happening.
17:45Yeah.
17:46I don't know what other option we have, you know.
17:49She understands the assignment.
17:50We're in this to get three women into the final.
17:53This is what needs to happen.
17:55Okay, we need to win this.
17:57We need to win this.
17:58We need to win this.
17:58We're so close.
17:59We're so close.
18:00Sorry, Louis.
18:02Sorry, Louis.
18:03Sorry, Louis.
18:04I don't think there's any other way.
18:06Next asks Rhea, and what was Georgia like?
18:09Rhea answers.
18:10She was like, I agree that we have to do it.
18:12Okay, well, that's good.
18:16On their way to the face-off arena, Nix asks Liv, are you in?
18:20She replies, oh, yeah.
18:24Today's plan, once again, is to work together as best as we can.
18:28And we're feeling pretty good.
18:29The numbers and the odds are great.
18:31There's four against one.
18:33No my hooking way to another individual face-off.
18:36Five of you left.
18:37Who here thought they'd make it this far in the game?
18:39I thought I was going to be gone day three.
18:43I want to know, Louis, last man standing.
18:45What's it like for you?
18:46I've done a lot of sad goodbyes, but came for a good scrap.
18:51I like to hear it.
18:53I have to win.
18:54That's the only way I'm not in elimination tonight.
18:57I also have to stay prepared that I'm probably going up for elimination.
19:01All right, guys.
19:02This is where the game gets real.
19:04That treasure hunt is just days away.
19:07Win this here and you decide who goes up for elimination.
19:10And you get that all-important immunity.
19:14All right.
19:15Shall we jump into this uero?
19:17Yes.
19:17Today's challenge will test your strength, focus, and knowledge of this game.
19:23Here are your rules.
19:24You'll each be tethered to a rope that will guide you through an obstacle course.
19:27Along the way you will find question stations, each with two possible answers.
19:32Attached to each answer is a key.
19:34Choose the one you think is correct.
19:35If the key works, you can move on.
19:37If it doesn't, you must backtrack and grab the other key.
19:40Try again.
19:42Every wrong decision you make costs you time.
19:45At the end of the obstacle course are puzzle pieces.
19:47Once you've released yourself from your rope, get to work.
19:50First person to complete that puzzle wins.
19:53It chooses two people to face off in the elimination battle,
19:55where one of you will go home missing out on the $100,000 grand prize for your charity.
20:00My knowledge on CTI history is pretty good.
20:02Like, I've watched a couple of seasons, obviously.
20:04I've watched my brother's season.
20:05So I've got a little bit of insight.
20:07But you want to know what's under here, don't you?
20:10Always.
20:10Please.
20:11It's a veggie lasagna!
20:13Oh!
20:14Oh my God!
20:16I'm not going to lift!
20:16Veggie lasagna, garlic bread,
20:19little bit of salad to chop your best.
20:22Lasagna and garlic bread?
20:23Oh my God.
20:25I am dairy intolerant, but honestly, it doesn't matter.
20:28At this point, I'll deal with the repercussions.
20:30Who thinks that's worth playing for?
20:32Yeah!
20:33All right, let's get it!
20:34Lasagna!
20:35Garlic bread!
20:39I'm all the way down the end, and I'm probably not even going to know these answers,
20:44so my strategy is to look up at the rest and just copy them.
20:49Players, quality!
20:51All right!
20:52All right!
20:52Timota!
20:53How many times has Chris Parker appeared on CTI?
20:55Louie waits behind, sees the keys that the other contestants grabbed, takes the save!
21:02Georgia literally looks at Liv, sees what she grabbed, takes it, goes.
21:08Georgia.
21:10I managed to get myself tangled at the very first rope join.
21:18I don't know how that happens.
21:19I am not off to a great start.
21:24Ria, boosting through this obstacle course.
21:27This challenge is not one that we can team up and work together on, so we are gunning for it.
21:33What was the name for the South Island season in 2023?
21:36I carry on to the next lockbox.
21:38I just look straight up the guts every hour.
21:40Oh, you're key number one?
21:42Sweet!
21:42She was right every time, and I was like, get it, girl!
21:48I'm kind of ahead, then I get all tangled up in the rope.
21:53Louie has his second key!
21:55I've also got Louie on my left, and I can just see that he's just looking at every key that
21:59I get.
22:00It's his strategy, and so he's hot on my heels.
22:02What was Duncan Garner's biggest regret about CTI?
22:05Crying on TV or wearing Spanky's togs?
22:07Louie's tactic seems to be working for him so far!
22:12So I'm just trying to go all the way through this obstacle course,
22:16struggling with my lack of CTI knowledge.
22:21Georgia goes back!
22:24I'm like, it's not over till it's over.
22:26You just have to keep going and pick yourself up.
22:30People have to figure out how to navigate through this obstacle course.
22:37Georgia is wrestling with this obstacle course.
22:43Rhea has the lead, got a bit tangled, everyone's caught up!
22:50All of a sudden, I am in front.
22:57Louie is playing to win, he is playing hard.
23:01This is kind of the time that the girls need to move.
23:04Louie, flying through this course!
23:07Celebrity, Treasure Island.
23:21Louie, flying through this course!
23:28Oh, you've got to go round, bro.
23:30Oh, f***!
23:33Louie's smashed the question station!
23:45I managed to get over the ledge and up onto the platform where there's a question about
23:50Liv's brother.
23:51So I turn to Liv and I go, Liv!
23:53Do you know what that is?
23:54Um, spanky, oh s***, I haven't even read that one.
23:58Rhea, first out of the obstacle course, has she chosen the right key?
24:03She has!
24:04Rhea moves on to the puzzle.
24:06Liv, Georgia asked me a question, it's about my brother, and I'm like, oh this answer, Sam.
24:13So I grab the key and I jump to the last lockbox.
24:17Louie moves on to the puzzle!
24:21And I go to open it, and it's the wrong key.
24:24What?
24:25Nah, is that wrong?
24:26Nah, okay, sorry.
24:28I shouldn't have known that.
24:29Sorry!
24:31Sorry Chris, sorry!
24:33Nick's moving on!
24:34You're good, you're good, you're good.
24:39You know how humiliating it is to sprint through a course, arrive at a puzzle board,
24:43and then just stand there?
24:48Liv's moving on!
24:49We get to the puzzle and I'm like, oh, like flowers, that's nice.
24:53And then I'm like, I hate these flowers.
24:58Georgia moving on!
24:59We now have everyone on the puzzle board!
25:03Do you move the white things?
25:05Like are the white pieces, like do you, are those puzzle pieces?
25:08And then I realised that it is like this moveable, floral cut-out puzzle.
25:15Right!
25:16Those at home, these puzzle pieces may look similar,
25:19it may look like they fit, but they're very precise!
25:23And there's this one piece that I just can't seem to get.
25:27It looks like this is where it fits, but I just can't seem to get it in that spot,
25:31so I move on to something else.
25:33It always comes down to the puzzle.
25:36The players spin white puzzle pieces that form the spaces for their intricately shaped,
25:40coloured flower pieces to sit in.
25:43Everyone's hands move quickly across the boards.
25:49Everyone yet to get a puzzle piece in the correct position!
25:53Ria has a piece on her board!
26:02It takes me a little bit too long to figure out what the hell is going on here,
26:07but I get a piece in, then Georgia's got a piece in.
26:09At least Louie doesn't have any pieces in.
26:11I can't even get a single piece in this puzzle, and Ria's like blocking her puzzle pieces.
26:24It all just feeds into kind of where we're at at the moment.
26:30Next gets a piece on the board!
26:32Oh, I'm in the game!
26:37Georgia has two!
26:38As I'm putting all the pieces in, I end up coming back to that spot that I was at originally,
26:44realising that I did have the right piece. I just had it in the wrong way.
26:49Georgia has three now! The more pieces you get, the less there are to choose from!
26:53The faster you'll get through this puzzle!
26:56Georgia's moving with pace!
26:59A lot at stake here! The only way to guarantee your position in this game is to win this!
27:07Five pieces for Georgia!
27:10I'm excited! This is so exciting!
27:12I'm feeling this momentum happening, and all of a sudden I have two pieces left to go.
27:18Can Georgia take out her second individual face-off win?
27:25Georgia pops in the penultimate piece.
27:33Georgia wins the individual face-off!
27:37Oh my God! How the hell did you do that?
27:41For a split second I feel so amazing, and very quickly I realise I'm the one that has to make
27:48a
27:48decision tonight about the elimination.
27:51As Ria hugs Georgia, she whispers, just stay strong. Louie high-fives Georgia.
27:59Georgia puzzling lines! I'll tell you what, that was a true come-from-behind victory. How are you feeling?
28:05The adrenaline is still very much pumping, but it feels good to have that lasagna, have the one.
28:11Speaking of that lasagna, I think you should bring one other person. Who's that going to be?
28:15I'm going to take Liv. Seriously?
28:18Yes!
28:18Aww, thanks Georgia!
28:21You've also earned the right to choose two people to face off at elimination.
28:25There is such a sinking feeling happening for me, realising I'm going to have to have this
28:30conversation with Liv.
28:32For now everyone, back to your kinder. Good luck for elimination.
28:35Thanks, see you. Bye guys.
28:37Hard conversations suck. I don't want to be in this position, but everything is being dictated by this
28:44mercy card, and I feel like she is our best shot at taking out Louie tonight.
28:50The players return to camp as waves lap onto the shore. Ria walks with Nick's.
28:56Are you glad you didn't get the lasagna?
28:59I'm okay about the lasagna, because there's no meat in it.
29:06But I don't know if Georgia's got it in her to stick to our plan.
29:10She did say, just before that challenge, that she would stick to the plan, and she's in,
29:15and she's going to do it. That's the plan, to get that mercy card out of play.
29:21Georgia and Liv are very close. I totally get it. And, you know, I'm no big bad wolf. I'm not
29:28trying
29:28to get rid of Liv. But if anybody has a fighting chance for Louie to use that mercy card, it's
29:35Liv.
29:36The lasagna sits on a small table for Georgia and Liv.
29:39Oh my gosh.
29:42That's the biggest weight of lasagna I've ever seen.
29:47Walking in to our little lasagna date, it's so cute. We've got a little picnic blanket.
29:53We both kind of just melt to the ground, and we just take a moment to enjoy the lasagna.
29:59Yeah. There's like a vinaigrette there too. Oh, it's good. It's so good.
30:09Okay, so we're going to have to have a real cool chat. Yeah.
30:13Oh, and then get lasagna. I don't want to put you up, but Louie's obviously
30:22the last male left. Yeah. And I just feel like we have to get rid of the mercy card. Yeah.
30:28And the most likely scenario is that he would only use it on you.
30:32This morning we had a talk, and where it stands it was like he still has the card,
30:36and his choice on how he uses that card is like he wouldn't use it. Right.
30:42Is this him playing the game? Like, does he think
30:46that I wouldn't put you up against him? I just don't.
30:49After my many conversations with him, I don't think he'll use it.
30:53Is there a smarter move here that gives us, and it's not to say that you wouldn't take Louie out,
30:58but gives us a stronger chance of taking Louie out?
31:03I do think Rhea is also a strong player as well.
31:09I don't want to put Rhea up. No, I know.
31:11But like part of me thinks, you know, Rhea is a really strong player.
31:15Obviously, I have had that conversation with Rhea this morning, and the girls are both certain that
31:21we've developed a plan. I am a person of my word, but to be honest, I'm not, I'm not feeling
31:27super
31:27convinced that this is the move that should be made.
31:30Have you talked to Rhea about how she would feel about?
31:34Not asking her about that.
31:36No. I feel like both girls will be fully expecting me to put you in the ring against
31:42Louie to try and force his hand with the mercy card. But based on what you're saying, you think he
31:48won't.
31:49Am I going to stick to the plan and put Liv up in the hope that Louie's bluffing?
31:53Or am I going to put Rhea, our strongest player in, who gives us the best chance to take Louie
31:58out?
32:00I just don't like being in this position.
32:04Oh, God!
32:06Celebrity Treasure Island
32:10Celebrity Treasure Island
32:12Louie says, Nick, obviously, George is not going to put you up, and there's no way she's going to put
32:16Liv up.
32:19George loves her friendship with Liv, and the only thing I have going for me is George wouldn't want to
32:25make Liv sad. She's obviously going to protect her long-time teammate, Nix, and her new friend, Liv.
32:34Coming into elimination tonight, I am feeling a bit nervous. I'm hoping that she will stick to the plan,
32:40but I definitely have my doubts.
32:43As Rhea arrives, George says, hop up, come sit. Oh, it's so windy.
32:48George speaks quietly, so she's convinced that he's not going to use the card at all.
32:53Like 100% convinced, Rhea, but that's on him.
32:57George says, I think you're our best shot to beat him, and Rhea's shoulders drop.
33:03That is a massive blow.
33:09That's not like her changing my mind or anything.
33:21I'm a little bit shocked. I'm yet to hear the reasoning behind the change of plan,
33:28but in this moment, I'm just too shocked to even respond.
33:34Welcome to another elimination.
33:37Whoever loses this battle will be gone from the island and the game.
33:41But before the battle begins, we need to find out who's going up.
33:43Georgia, come on up.
33:45I'm feeling sick.
33:47I'm finding it really hard to make a decision in this moment with what I'm going to do.
33:53Georgia, we are deep into this game now, and there's only four people to choose from.
33:57Does that make your decision easier or harder?
34:01Way harder. You know, I thought today that we had like somewhat of a plan.
34:06My goal has been to get the four of us girls as far as possible.
34:10I don't want to have to put any of the wahine in the ring.
34:14It's the head and the heart battle is very real.
34:19Georgia, who are you putting up first?
34:22Louis, I assume that this is no surprise to you.
34:26Louis smiles.
34:28And who will be taking on Louis?
34:33Am I going to stick to the plan and put Liv up or am I going to put Ria in?
34:37I'm finding that my emotions are feeling just really heavy and conflicting.
34:44I'm going to need that answer.
34:45But at the same time, we really need to take Louis out.
34:50Ria, I'm going to be putting you in.
34:51I know that you're a strong player, and I'd really love for you to take Louis out.
34:56This decision is one that I really don't wish to have made, and I'm so sorry.
35:02Thank you, Georgia. You can take a seat.
35:04Although I did have doubts, I am still really shocked.
35:07Great.
35:11There definitely is a feeling of being betrayed, you know?
35:20We're battling the head and the heart all day, every day, and it's not a nice feeling.
35:24I know that for her, that decision probably felt like a betrayal.
35:29Ria, this is going to be a first time for you in the elimination arena.
35:32How are you feeling?
35:33I'm quite shocked, but I'm here, so let's do it.
35:38Okay. Well, here are the rules.
35:41On my call, you will position yourself on this board.
35:44Your hands on different coloured pegs, your feet on different coloured circles.
35:48Every minute, I will roll two dice.
35:50One for limb, one for colour.
35:52For example, right foot yellow.
35:54You will then move that limb to a new peg or circle of that colour.
35:58You can only have one limb per peg or circle.
36:00If your opponent grabs it first, too bad.
36:03The entire time, you must be facing outwards.
36:05If you lose connection with the board or fail to find a spot for a limb,
36:09within 10 seconds, you lose.
36:11Go home, missing out on the $100,000 grand prize for your charity.
36:14Louis, Ria, take your marks.
36:18Louis, to Liv, I was sure it was going to be you up for elimination.
36:23His plan worked.
36:25And whether Liv is in on it with him or not, I don't know.
36:30Yeah, whatever's going on doesn't feel honourable.
36:36Louis, remind us of your charity.
36:38Jade and I are playing for an organisation called Te Orahau.
36:41They support rangatahi with achieving all their aspirations in life, whatever it is.
36:47Awesome, bro.
36:48And Ria, remind us of your charity.
36:49I'm playing for the New Zealand Cancer Research Trust.
36:52They're the only organisation in New Zealand that provides funding for innovative research
36:56into all cancer types.
36:58And as we know, cancer doesn't discriminate against anybody.
37:01So every dollar helps.
37:02Beautiful, Ria.
37:04All right, Louis, Ria, kua rite, ti mata.
37:08You have 10 seconds to get into position.
37:11They take their places.
37:13Ria has her right hand raised high while both of Louis are low by her side.
37:17Jaden rolls the dice.
37:20Free choice for your limb.
37:24Colour.
37:25Purple, you have 10 seconds.
37:30Ria needs to stay as high as possible to give her the most moves.
37:36This is where strategy comes into play.
37:38For some reason, she goes low early and traps herself on the ground.
37:44Right hand.
37:48Blue.
37:49Louis reaches across Ria, who struggles along the wall behind him.
37:53Georgia says I should have put myself up.
37:55I've put myself up.
37:57I'm really struggling watching Ria and Louis compete.
38:00I'm struggling to just sit with the decision that I've made,
38:04putting her up and hoping that I've made the right decision.
38:09Celebrity Treasure Island.
38:13Continue on, I'll roll again.
38:16You've got a free choice.
38:18Colour.
38:20Blue.
38:21Ria threads a leg between Louis.
38:25I am so determined to keep my place in the competition over Louis.
38:29I'm not really looking forward to getting back to camp if I do win this and facing those girls,
38:34because I feel really let down by them.
38:38Louis stands comfortably while Ria is contorted low down.
38:41Five more seconds.
38:45Free choice again.
38:48And yellow.
38:49Five, four, three, two, one.
38:55Nice, Ria.
38:57And the minute that we have to hold the position,
39:00I'm kind of looking around and trying to figure out if it's left limb, whatever colour,
39:03that's where I'm going to go.
39:05Going left foot this time.
39:08Blue.
39:11Seven.
39:12Wait, wait.
39:13Six.
39:14I was first in the loop right now.
39:16Five, four, three, two, one.
39:21Locked in.
39:23Both opponents fighting.
39:30I see Ria and Louis grappling.
39:33I'm really praying that she comes out of this.
39:38Five more seconds.
39:42All right.
39:44Jaden rolls the dice once more.
39:47Left hand.
39:49Yellow.
39:51Eight, seven, six, five.
40:00You're sitting on my foot.
40:01I'm actually not.
40:03We're like little siblings bickering.
40:10Left hand.
40:13Yellow.
40:14Ten, nine, eight.
40:18Ah, that's pushing out of my foot.
40:21I know that Ria and Louis have like a lot of love for each other because I've seen that over
40:25the process of this whole experience.
40:27But in this moment, it definitely feels like siblings fighting.
40:31Both players completely intertwined.
40:35Not comfortable for either of them.
40:37I feel like I'm holding strong.
40:40Like his foot's pretty much off a spot.
40:42Louis, desperately trying to keep that left foot on there.
40:46Five seconds.
40:49Left hand.
40:52Purple.
40:52Five, four, three, two, one.
41:00I feel like I've got the mental endurance to put up with this.
41:04If only I can like stay physically strong.
41:09Right foot.
41:13Yellow.
41:15Ten.
41:16Nice, Ria.
41:17Nine, eight, seven.
41:23Right.
41:24During the move, Ria's left foot slipped off the circle.
41:28That foot is not allowed to move, so she loses this challenge.
41:33Ria, going home.
41:35The watching women sit in shock.
41:38Ria, you have been an absolute all-rounder in this game.
41:43You've won 12 and a half grand for your charity.
41:46You have been loyal to Takapu.
41:48You have been loyal to Kahu.
41:49And finally, you've been loyal to the Titi Committee, as I hear.
41:54It has been a pleasure to be a part of your journey.
41:57Thanks, Jayden.
41:58Do you have any final words?
41:59Yeah, I just want to start by saying how grateful I am
42:04to have had this experience.
42:06Certainly something I'll never forget.
42:09I hope one of you girls wins this.
42:12And, yeah, I'm just very sad to be going home like this,
42:16but I've had a quick time. Thank you.
42:19Ria, your time on Treasure Island has come to an end.
42:23Haere rā, turo hawai ki.
42:25Say your goodbyes and head on out.
42:28She hugs Louis.
42:29I'm feeling gutted.
42:32I think Louis is playing a very clever game.
42:35As they hug, Liv says, I'm sorry, Ria.
42:38I think the girls need to be careful.
42:40They need to stick together.
42:41They need to truly have each other's back and be loyal
42:44if they want to win this.
42:46Ria to Nyx. Love you, mate. Love you, too.
42:49I would love to see Nyx win.
42:51I just felt like I could fully trust her
42:53and that we definitely had each other's back.
42:55Yeah, I just love her.
42:57Ria wipes tears from her eyes.
43:01I'm proud to have pioneered the idea of getting all women into the final.
43:05Four women into the top five is a pretty good effort,
43:08and I really hope that they can continue on.
43:12Louis, congratulations.
43:14Three in a row.
43:15You live to fight another day.
43:18You've also earned yourself this, my friend.
43:22Louis takes his prize and bows his head.
43:24Ria props to her.
43:27She fired her shot a couple of days ago, rallied a new alliance,
43:30shifted the chess pieces around, and it was my only play.
43:34My only play was for them to put someone in the arena not named Liv.
43:37Ria just figured that out tonight.
43:40Just four of you remain on Treasure Island every day you play.
43:44One step closer to victory and the all-important treasure.
43:48Head back to your kainga.
43:49Rest up.
43:50Hei opopo.
43:53Next.
43:54I am so sad.
43:56I can tell that nobody is happy about this, except Louis, because Louis gets another advantage.
44:07We get back down to camp and I'm just speechless.
44:10I can't even talk.
44:11Like, I couldn't even look at anybody.
44:14I mean, who do you trust when there's a solid plan and we've all said, right, this is us,
44:20this is the plan, and then it's like...
44:24I'm really worried for me at this point.
44:27Next time.
44:30Without creeping into the titi committee, old battle lines are redrawn.
44:35It's two OG Kahu against two OG Takapu.
44:40Louis v Georgia and Liv's loyalties are put to the ultimate test.
44:47I don't know.
44:48Yeah, I'm not too sure.
44:49I'm not too sure.
44:50I'm sorry.
44:51I just had a...
44:53I just...
