Short filmTranscript
00:00Previously on Celebrity Treasure Island.
00:05Ben wins the challenge.
00:07An emotional first elimination.
00:09Jealous of what the other team just snagged?
00:12Snatch it for your team.
00:13Gave Takapu the upper hand.
00:16Takapu win!
00:18Kahu suffered another loss.
00:20Describe it for me.
00:21It's the shape of trust.
00:22But played strategically at Captain's Coup.
00:25Tell us if there's a kumara in there.
00:28There is.
00:28Simon wins this Captain's Coup!
00:32I think Team Takapu's made a very big mistake
00:34because now we've got a secret advantage.
00:37And also we get a kumara as well.
00:39Don't love how a challenge turned out?
00:41Play this card to demand an instant rematch.
01:25Well, if you've worked for this, let's visit our385.com.
01:33Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
01:56Ah, another absolute stunner day on Celebrity Treasure Island, and can someone tell me what
02:03day it is?
02:04It's day three, I wake up this morning and I'm feeling really good.
02:08And can I get a vibe check?
02:10The vibes are high, the sun is out, the water is warm.
02:16Anyone else?
02:18We're really appreciating what we have this morning, the time and the ability to just
02:23be with each other.
02:24We'll take a deep breath in, and then reach out for the stars, or the sky.
02:28Our bodies are a little bit achy from a couple of days, and I think it was just a chance
02:33for
02:33us to get our body, our tenana flowing, because eventually there will come an elimination.
02:38And having that every night can be really scary.
02:42You alright, Polly?
02:43Yep, I'm good, I'm okay.
02:45I'll do a one-legged downward dog.
02:47In terms of kahu, I'm probably not too worried about them.
02:50I want to focus on us.
02:52Sorry, Portia, what was that?
02:54My inner chakras were aligning.
02:56I must have drifted off.
02:59Bring your arms wide, and reach to the sky.
03:03Wait, more beach yoga?
03:05What are we running, a bloody wellness cab?
03:08Oh my god, I'm trying to keep the sand off my feet.
03:12I don't want to tell the other team members, but I've got a phobia of sand on my feet.
03:18Uh, next, what the helly?
03:21Sand on my feet just makes literally my bones crawl.
03:25Oh, f*** now.
03:27And I've been like this my whole life.
03:30She does know where she is, right?
03:32I know where we are, know what I've signed up to.
03:35That's gonna be my biggest challenge, I think, for this whole entire thing.
03:41There's sand on my f*** feet.
03:44Oh, oh, oh!
03:47Oh, god, it's dramatic, but it's my life.
03:52Don't worry, Nix, your sandy secret is safe with me.
03:55I don't think anyone else has noticed.
04:02All right, Takapu, I'm back.
04:04What'd I miss?
04:05He sounds like a sleazebag.
04:07Whoa, Polly, you're saying it straight to their faces.
04:10Harper sounds like a sleazebag.
04:12No, not Harper, the other girl, the nanny.
04:14Look, Ben and Ria have been on Shortland Street as a married couple for like 125 years come pancake day.
04:20Oh, I get it now.
04:22The ex-Shortie Street sweethearts are reminiscing.
04:25You know, me and Ben probably fall into the camp mom and dad category because we
04:30played on screen, husband and wife, for so long.
04:33And what a marriage it was.
04:35So that's one affair?
04:36It was one shared affair.
04:38And then you had an affair with Kerry Lee.
04:41Well, Kylie Brown.
04:42Kylie Brown, sorry.
04:42Let's call her Kylie Brown.
04:43Yeah, true.
04:44Kylie Brown's mum.
04:46Harper and TK.
04:47TK!
04:48And then the big one was Phil Grayson.
04:51Ben is so much fun.
04:53We laugh a lot.
04:54You know, we know each other so well.
04:56I'm a little bit worried that the other team are going to want to try and split us up because
05:00they will assume that we will have a strong alliance.
05:07But will they be assuming correctly?
05:10I don't know.
05:11I mean, I'd like to think so.
05:13We haven't really talked about it.
05:15I trust Ben in real life, but I do also know that he'll play the game.
05:19Fun times on the street.
05:21Speaking of fun times, it's time to let them roll.
05:27Get in here, you lot!
05:32Come on through.
05:33Hey, Bri.
05:34G'day, guys.
05:35Good looking team, this team, I tell you.
05:39I'm really hoping that our first charity challenge has something to do with food.
05:43I can kind of see plates and cups, and I'm like, are they going to give us a piece of
05:46toast
05:46because they feel sorry for us?
05:49Morena teama kaho, and welcome to your first charity challenge.
05:53Yeah.
05:54Yes, guys, yes.
05:57This is the place where you get to have some fun competing against each other to win 5k for
06:02the charities you're supporting.
06:03And now that it's just us here, I want the tea.
06:06What's the biggest goss from camp?
06:08Georgia?
06:09We're a bit hungry.
06:10That's probably the biggest goss.
06:11Where's our kumara, Bri?
06:13Kumara.
06:13Did they not give it to you?
06:14They didn't, you took it off us.
06:15Bri never gave us the kumara the night before,
06:17so we had to eat rice, and it was ridiculous.
06:21Where's our kumara?
06:22I'm going to sort that out, because I promise you, David.
06:25We should get two for that.
06:28Don't push it.
06:30All right, should we press on with today's charity challenge?
06:33Yes.
06:34Great, I like to call this one Pyramid Scheme.
06:37And if you've got a quick five minutes, I'd love to tell you about how it works.
06:41For this one, you'll be building an inverted pyramid using plastic cups and plates.
06:47Once you've built your inverted pyramid, you will then be building a normal pyramid on top.
06:52First person to build both pyramids, that stands for at least three seconds, wins.
06:57Should we rip into it, guys?
06:59Yes.
06:59Let's do it.
07:05All right, our first round, Georgia, Vinny, T, you ready?
07:08Yeah.
07:09Go.
07:11Oh, goodness.
07:13I don't know if it's a lack of food.
07:14My simple math brain is like, wait, does the plate need to go on the bottom?
07:18Georgia opting for a plate on the bottom.
07:21Vinny just raw-dogging it.
07:23Which way is the right side for the plate?
07:25Like, is it more stable one way?
07:26Is it more stable another?
07:27And I think in my head, I'm like, stop overthinking it.
07:29Just do the damn thing.
07:32Oh, Georgia flips the plate around.
07:34That might be a move.
07:35Oh, Vinny!
07:38Georgia going with a different tactic now, putting the cups kind of in a flying V.
07:43Why am I shaking?
07:44It looks more stable.
07:48Georgia's got something now.
07:50Yes, Georgia!
07:50Can't she get three?
07:51I'm going to start giggling and knock it down.
07:53One, two, three!
07:55Georgia!
07:57Go through to the final!
07:59I'm like, no!
08:00And I look over to Georgia, and she's got three in a triangle, and I'm just like,
08:06she overthought it.
08:07Oh, clever!
08:12We can't keep these two away from each other.
08:14It's David versus Simon.
08:16Are you ready?
08:17Yes!
08:17Yes!
08:18Go!
08:19Go, lads.
08:21Charity challenge, why do you keep throwing us the hardest challenges?
08:26The wind, like, this is all going to blow these all over.
08:29Let's see if David can harness that chaos.
08:32He's looking good so far, but so, Simon.
08:35Turns out, the challenge is actually pretty easy.
08:38Simon having a few problems.
08:40Oh, it's not over!
08:41Disappointing!
08:42Opens the door for David!
08:44Oh, cut it out.
08:45I've got one more!
08:46Wait!
08:47Oh!
08:47No!
08:48What are you going to do with the plate?
08:49Oh, no!
08:50What are you doing?
08:53Will it stay?
08:57Three, two, one!
08:59David!
08:59Oh, wow, wow, wow, wow!
09:00I have no idea!
09:01Oh, one more second!
09:05You guys ready?
09:07Yeah!
09:07Go!
09:09Go team!
09:10Everyone kind of cracked the technique of it the time I went up, so I just had to be fast.
09:15Plate, cup, plate, cup, cup, plate, cup, cup, plate, cup, cup, plate, cup, plate, cup, plate.
09:21Quite different approaches. Harrison moving with pace. Nick's cool, calm and collected.
09:27I'm looking pretty nonchalant.
09:32I'm thinking, don't rush it. When you rush things, Nick, it all goes down.
09:37But Harrison's right there too! Who's going to get it? He is close! One, two, three, Harrison!
09:45I must have been too nonchalant because I came for last.
09:50Maybe I was too nonchalant.
09:51Oh, that was close!
09:54All right, this is our final for the 5K. It's David, Georgia and Harrison. Are you ready?
10:01Yes!
10:01Go team!
10:04Everyone's cracked the technique now. Everyone knows to go fast and knows exactly how to stack it.
10:08So really, any of us could win.
10:09But who can do it in this pressure round?
10:12Nice work, team. Go, Harrison.
10:13Harrison looks good over on the left.
10:15And so does David. And Georgia's right there on their tail. Harrison, looking great.
10:22No!
10:23Georgia loses and marvels. It's all over.
10:27One, two, three. Harrison wins the 5K for his chosen charity.
10:34Harrison, man, must be like part flash because he was quick.
10:39Congratulations, Harrison, mate. You've picked up that 5K for your charity.
10:43Excellent, Harry.
10:44Can you tell us a bit about where it's going, mate?
10:47The charity I'm playing for is Spark Dad Chat, founded by the bro Jack Jensen in Hawke's Bay.
10:53He lost a few mates to suicide, so started this charity to spark that chat and have those conversations with
11:00your brothers and sisters before they end up doing something stupid.
11:03What a fantastic charity and so important to so many people. Love your work, mate. Well done.
11:09It's time to head back to your kyinga and get ready for that face-off.
11:12It's time to put a stop to those nasty takapu. We'll see you there.
11:16Skitter!
11:18Can we have the plates, Bree?
11:19What? I'm not even asking.
11:21All right, that's enough. Get out of here! Get out of here! Get out of here!
11:25Get out of here! Get out of here!
11:33Meanwhile, at Takapu, they're dealing with a more serious matter.
11:37I don't know if maybe my knee is so sore.
11:41I'm weighing up my pain versus my love of being here with the most wonderful people
11:48and having so much fun and laughing more than I've laughed in so long.
11:53I feel like I've known you guys for, like, ever.
11:54I know. Same!
11:55I want you to marry my son. Like, I'm like, what is going on?
11:59So I'm weighing up whether I want to wuss out because I'm in pain
12:04or whether I want to stay because I'm loving my life right now.
12:08You're not a wuss. I don't think that you're...
12:10I don't think that you're...
12:11I'm completely uncoordinated and I fall off both.
12:13It's not mine. It's me too.
12:16I think as it goes on, anything that involves my leg, it will hold them back.
12:23Like, we want you to stay and I want you to stay.
12:28But then also, you need to think about yourself as well in your own...
12:33Like, you need to take care of yourself.
12:36I don't want to miss out on anything. I'm having so much fun anymore.
12:40It's pain versus enjoyment. I don't know.
12:56I think you should go for it. Yeah, I'm turning.
12:58Yeah.
12:59What's this?
13:01Me?
13:01Yeah.
13:02A sneaky little thinker chat.
13:06I'm really stoked to have Harrison on our team.
13:09It's a low-key advantage having a friend and a confidant that you can kind of turn to
13:14and have little moments maybe away from the rest of the team just to check in with each other.
13:19Yeah, right. A check-in. Is that what the Gen Zeders are calling a strat chat these days?
13:25How are you feeling about everything in your camp?
13:30Our team just seems a bit of a shake-up. Everyone's a bit safe and happy.
13:34I was even developing our team in this game.
13:37Is it too safe for anything?
13:39I think so. Like, it was cool that Cy-1. I like Cy.
13:43But he's also, like, too good. Like, make him vulnerable, make him not immune,
13:47so he can go up against other players and then he can knock them out.
13:50Simon's, like, a huge threat. He's so nice.
13:53I like Simon.
13:54Then love David, but just gotta, ah, just, like, be careful around him.
13:59Just such a people-pleaser.
14:01A few people at camp were just like, David, throw the challenge.
14:06And then he threw it.
14:08Can you just describe it for me?
14:10It's the shape of trust. That's what it is.
14:14Me and Vin, I'm like, why'd you throw it?
14:16He's like, oh, I thought it's what everyone wanted.
14:18So I feel like there's some people saying stuff that's influencing us as a team,
14:23just in a ways for them to keep safe and happy.
14:27Oh, we're all safe for all, happy. Let's keep going, team.
14:29I'm like, yeah, well, like, we need some kind of, like, time to have...
14:33I think us talking right now and them probably watching us talk is making something happen.
14:37So you pretend we're doing the same thing.
14:39The, ah, yeah, so the boats, the boats that we can't see.
14:42I know it's only day three, but we need to start thinking, like,
14:45this is, like, a three-person game at the end. How are you gonna get there?
14:49That's an excellent question, Harrison, and I think I know just where to start.
15:00Tākupu, looking for a three-peat.
15:04We're about to go into another face-off, and this time I can't sit it out.
15:07I just hope that somehow I don't become a real burden.
15:11We really want to win this go of funding.
15:14Tākupu, fired up for their first team face-off win.
15:17This feels familiar. I feel like I've seen this.
15:20I'm feeling pretty confident going into this challenge.
15:24Welcome, everyone, to another team face-off.
15:27My favourite part of the season, when celebs put on their water shoes.
15:31Damn, they're sexy. They always do something to me.
15:35Day three in this game. I want to know, Liv, what are you missing the most?
15:39Um, maybe a hot shower. I love to just stand in a shower and go,
15:45like that, and, like, cry into a shower. So that, probably.
15:47Vinny, how about you? What are you missing the most?
15:49Any food that's not rice and beans, Janet.
15:52We're feeling a bit hungry, for sure.
15:55Hopefully we can get something good from this challenge today.
15:58What about you, Ria?
16:00I'm missing coffee. And, of course, my beautiful family,
16:03but I'm really missing coffee.
16:04I'm missing coffee.
16:06Well, today's challenge is about teamwork, timing,
16:10and a little bit of splash zone chaos.
16:15Using buckets, you must scoop water from the moana,
16:18and then work together, throwing and catching water
16:20from teammate to teammate, trying to fill a clear container.
16:24When the container fills, it'll drop, lifting the lid of a cargo box containing puzzle pieces.
16:31When the box opens, puzzlers will start assembling a giant fish puzzle.
16:35Puzzlers can swap out at any time.
16:37But once you step out of the puzzle zone, you're out of the wero.
16:41First team to complete their puzzle wins.
16:45The coho two of the winning team will get to decide who faces off in tonight's elimination battle.
16:51Tonight, one of you is going home.
16:55Geez, down buzz, Jayden.
16:57Should we bring the mood back up and talk rewards?
17:00Come on, Bree.
17:01A little suckle from nature's nectar.
17:05It's coffee.
17:07Oh!
17:08Coffee, tea, milk, all the things you need to get that engine roaring.
17:13It's coffee, and it makes me so happy.
17:17I'm like, we're going for it. Please, please, please.
17:20What about a full English brekkie?
17:24We got bacon, we got sausage, we got eggs, bread, avo, mushies.
17:28We got the whole nine yards in all its greasy glory.
17:31Plus, you get that coffee as well.
17:35Oh, I'm begging my team.
17:38When you hit the bottom of your tank, scrape the barrel of their tank, please.
17:44I need the coffee.
17:48All right, Portia.
17:49Who will be sitting now for takapu?
17:51We've got Zion sitting out today.
17:53Okay, kahu, takapu, for the first water challenge of the season.
17:58Kwa rita!
17:59Aye!
18:01Tumata!
18:04We've got both kaihotu collecting water for their teams.
18:09They're trying to throw that bucket of water.
18:12Louis takes it to the chest.
18:14I see maybe a quarter of that water making it into Louis' bucket.
18:18Probably a quarter of that goes into Frank's pail.
18:21If I catch drops.
18:25There's a dribble left in that bucket.
18:27It's got to get better than this.
18:30Both teams putting mere drips in their container first off.
18:34Who will get their strategy down quickest?
18:37And Nyx takes a bucket to the face.
18:42And another one!
18:44Oh!
18:46Nyx is just copping buckets of water to her face.
18:51Ben again catching a drip.
18:54There's got to be a way to do this.
18:58Throw it forwards, Korsh!
19:00Throw it forwards, not up!
19:01But, of course, we don't have time to figure that out.
19:04It's just a game of endurance as much as anything else.
19:09We are going to be here for a long time.
19:21I see Portia just going up and down that pontoon, throwing buckets.
19:26It's relentless.
19:27She is a machine.
19:28You know, boom, boom, boom.
19:29We just got to keep up.
19:32Everyone's looking good now, but the arms are going to get sore.
19:35The bucket's going to get heavy.
19:37Man, those buckets, they're really heavy.
19:40My arms are heavy, and that's wearing on me.
19:43Like, I'm tired.
19:44Why should you call out when you want a break?
19:46They're switching out.
19:47It's a good strategy.
19:50Great effort from Simon.
19:51He's been the runner for most of this challenge.
19:55Vinny, into the water.
19:57He's too keen.
19:58It's those bloody water shoes.
20:01Remember what you're playing for here.
20:03Coffee, full English breakfast.
20:06It may not last long.
20:08I'll just see how my knees are.
20:09Frank going for a run.
20:10My knees aren't the best.
20:12I'm going down at some point.
20:15Great first throw from Frank.
20:18A crazy discovery.
20:20Frank has an unreal toss of the water.
20:23The mass all stays together, and it lands at least a third full.
20:28This may be the line-up for Takapu.
20:31But he has the least bucket runs in him.
20:34Much of Frank's really good at throwing buckets.
20:37Who knows where that comes from?
20:41Yeah, I think he's a farmer too.
20:43Whereas, did Louis just make that up?
20:44Neck and neck!
20:45Impart the mullet!
20:46Yes, Gorsha!
20:47It is neck and neck.
20:48You can't split them at this stage.
20:52Montage, please.
20:56Both teams fighting for the power to put two people up in elimination.
21:03The stakes are feeling the highest they've ever felt.
21:05We can't afford to lose another team member.
21:07Puzzlers just have to wait patiently until these containers fall.
21:12Oh my god, those buckets look so heavy.
21:15I'm so thankful to be a puzzler.
21:18When will we see movement in these seesaws?
21:22Portia, she's got all the power.
21:25She's strong.
21:26But Sai just looks like he's not giving up.
21:28The man's a robot.
21:30Saw a little bit of movement in Takapu's cargo lid.
21:33I can tell just tapping the top of it, it's starting to move.
21:37The seesaw is teetering on the edge.
21:41We're nearly on, girls.
21:42Beautiful!
21:45Oh, it's going, it's going!
21:48Oh god, not again.
21:51We're up, we're up, we're up, we're up, we're up, we're up!
21:54We're in.
21:54I've got full adrenaline.
21:56It's like, go, go, go, go, go, go!
21:57Put the puzzle pieces on the floor!
22:01Kahu, feeling the fury, trying to catch up to Takapu!
22:05Let's go, T.
22:10We're in, we're in!
22:11Go, go, go!
22:13Both teams are into it!
22:15This is anyone's game!
22:16No, no, I love it.
22:18Both with one piece on their frame!
22:23It's all enough to finish this puzzle.
22:25Like, is it going to be the same as yesterday?
22:28Please, no.
22:31I'm locked in, like, let's win something.
22:33Let's win some Kai.
22:35Come on, Kahu, go, Kahu!
22:37Now the puzzlers are feeling the pressure.
22:39They don't want to let the efforts of their teammates down.
22:43Hello, Frank's knee brace is weighing me down.
22:47I'm Jayden, I'm going to swap Polly up.
22:51Portia's in!
22:52Polly, out of the game!
22:54Have you ever tried to build a 3D puzzle?
22:56It's so hard.
22:57I'm, like, picking up pieces, being like,
22:58oh yeah, that will definitely fit.
23:00We're like, surely we can find that most unusual shape.
23:02But no, we try so many different pieces.
23:05A lot on the line!
23:06Come on, Dave.
23:07Remember, someone is going home tonight!
23:10If yesterday's puzzle's any indication,
23:12we're going to be here for a while.
23:15Trying all these T-shapes, trying, like, swapping them in and out.
23:19We've got this piece, put it over here, move that.
23:21And, oh, I don't know how I've ended up in the puzzling team, you know?
23:26What is that?
23:28Portia?
23:29Yeah?
23:30Let me in.
23:30Ben trying to get in the puzzle.
23:32They're just trying the same pieces again and again.
23:34Meanwhile, there are pieces lying in the sand off to the side,
23:37but no-one's taking any notice of them.
23:39If you want to have one puzzle piece fitter,
23:41and the other people just pass them every single piece,
23:44one after the other.
23:45That one, Ria, that one!
23:47Ben!
23:47He thinks he knows everything.
23:50The one behind Libby, Ria!
23:52Hey!
23:53Sorry.
23:53Ooh, Jayden!
23:55You're telling people off!
23:57Stop!
23:57You've had your fun!
23:58We're doing this.
23:59We're on this.
23:59We've got this.
24:00Behind Libby!
24:01If you guys keep coaching, I'm going to stand you down for 30 seconds.
24:04Shut up, Ben.
24:07But does he shut up?
24:09No, turn it, Carla.
24:10No, no, no, no.
24:10Run.
24:11Sorry.
24:11I'm going to get a 30-second pause on Takapu.
24:15Continuous coaching!
24:17Ben just cannot help himself.
24:19I get that you want to help, but just wait your turn.
24:22I start to feel pretty rotten.
24:26That 30 seconds could quite possibly cost us the game.
24:31I swear every time I look at the puzzle, a little bit of my brain just leaks out of my
24:36ear.
24:36I can see our team kind of struggling a bit with the puzzle.
24:40Man, maybe some fresh eyes will do them some good.
24:43Vinny, swapping in for David.
24:46Thank you so much for letting me out of there, because I was doing nothing.
24:50Excellent effort, Dave.
24:51Come on.
24:52I'm a little bit frustrated, because it's painful watching Kahu continue to go,
24:57while we just have to sit and do nothing.
25:00All right, Takapu, you're back in.
25:07I see Ria pop that piece in.
25:09I know the piece.
25:10The next bit should be easy.
25:11I can see it.
25:13I look at Simon, I'm like, put me in, put me in, put me in, put me in, go, let
25:17me in.
25:18Harrison, we're going to swap T.
25:19Portia, let me jump in.
25:20Yep.
25:21Ben, still trying to get in the game.
25:23Harrison swaps out for T.
25:25T moving furiously.
25:27Got it.
25:28That's beautiful.
25:29Nice, guys.
25:30Nice.
25:31As soon as we get the middle piece in,
25:33it feels like everything just falls into place quite quickly.
25:36Go, go, go.
25:39Yes, yes.
25:41Let's go, Kahu, let's go.
25:43Kahu moving quickly.
25:45Nice team, nice.
25:46Nice team.
25:48I'm going to swap out.
25:50Okay, Ben, come in.
25:51What I want to do is redeem myself, jump in both feet and do my best to make sure that
25:56our team takes this one out.
25:57What's it going to bring?
25:58The table, come on, Kahu.
25:59Come on, Kahu.
26:00There's colors in this.
26:00Yeah, we know, but you can turn them around and...
26:04We've already tried that, Ben. It's okay.
26:07The blue one.
26:07No!
26:08It's just looking for the shape.
26:09We're really on the back foot now.
26:11We're going to have to hustle hard.
26:13Nice team.
26:15They look like they're about to finish.
26:17I can taste the sausages.
26:18I can taste the bacon.
26:21It's guys team.
26:23Guys, I think they have it correct.
26:26I can taste that coffee, man.
26:28Please, please.
26:41Guys, I think they have it correct.
26:46It is not correct.
26:47What are you trying?
26:48It's not correct.
26:49It's not correct.
26:50No, the fit's the wrong way.
26:53Just turn it upside down, please.
26:55Hit it down.
26:56I couldn't pull a Ben.
26:57I couldn't pull a Ben.
26:58Can they make that change before Takapu catches up?
27:01We're in there with a chance again.
27:03So it's up to our guys.
27:04You know, come on, come on, come on.
27:05Get back in the game.
27:08Takapu!
27:12Kahu!
27:12You win the first team face-off!
27:17We've got it.
27:18The breakfast.
27:19The food.
27:20Oh, my God!
27:22Nix looks like she's crying.
27:24I'm about to cry.
27:26Take it!
27:27Take it!
27:29And I'm crying because I'm just so proud of our little crew.
27:39Congratulations, Kahu.
27:41How good does that feel?
27:43Yeah.
27:45Smell it.
27:46I'm going to have that big brekkie and the coffee delivered to your cab ASAP.
27:51I think our team, we really needed this.
27:53Just to show them that, you know, we're not just going to roll over and take loss after loss.
27:58We're going to take some wins and hopefully this is the first of many for us.
28:03Simon, this is going to feel great for you.
28:05First time having the power to put people up for elimination.
28:08Yeah, I actually haven't had time to think about that.
28:10I won't love putting people up.
28:11That's for darn sure.
28:12We've got a first big win.
28:13It's a real win.
28:14It was a well-deserved win.
28:16I'm over the moon.
28:18Right now, everyone.
28:20Yes, Portia.
28:22We have an advantage here that we'd love to play.
28:26Oh, no.
28:28We're going to take their prize.
28:29Jealous of what the other team just snagged?
28:33Snatch it for your team.
28:34Sharing is overrated.
28:36I'm pretty, like, it's pretty hard to do that.
28:39You would like to reward steel?
28:42Yeah.
28:43And you'd like to use it right now?
28:44Yeah.
28:47And that means be careful, my friend.
28:50And that was quite, like, chilling.
28:52That's a hard pill to swallow, Kahu.
28:54How are you feeling about that?
28:56Hey, it is what it is.
28:58That's what it is.
28:59Vinny and I looking impressed?
29:01No, not at all.
29:03It hurts, and I'm really pretty pissed off, to be honest.
29:07Um, I mean, I feel like they've had their good share of rewards,
29:10and they want to take out one reward that we've got.
29:12But, um, that's all good.
29:14We get some payback.
29:15After that, I felt pretty, pretty in my mind.
29:18But a bit heartbroken.
29:19A bit, um, guilty.
29:21Add some fuel to the fire.
29:23We've got a game on our hands.
29:25I'll have that big breakfast and coffee delivered to your camp, Takapu ASAP.
29:32Everyone, head back to your kainga and rest up.
29:35Jaden will see you shortly for the elimination battle,
29:38where two people will fight it out to stay in this game.
29:41Good luck. We'll see you later.
29:45That probably took this whole comp to a new level.
29:48We wouldn't have done that.
29:49For them to watch us carrying on like that,
29:51with the knowledge that they were going to skewer us,
29:56that makes me feel sick.
30:08Oh, I need a talk.
30:10We're going into the camp, and it's sombre,
30:13which sucks because we did have a win.
30:15We wouldn't have done what they did.
30:17No.
30:17We wouldn't have done that.
30:18I think the disbelief and the shock and the like,
30:22we wouldn't have played that card.
30:24I think as well, that's the difference between our two teams.
30:28We have heart.
30:29I wouldn't be surprised if Portia was overruled,
30:33and it was Louis or Ben.
30:35You know, they're not starving for rewards of food and stuff.
30:38They're just doing it to mess with us.
30:40At that point, it's just like mind games.
30:43How do you feel, Vin, after that?
30:45I'm still feeling pretty angry.
30:47Vinny's real dark about this.
30:50He's taking this to another level.
30:53I feel like their team are just the dirtiest players.
30:58Where I'm at right now, I want to make them pay.
31:00I want to make them pay for it so they can know that playing that game
31:04is going to come with some repercussion.
31:05I have a feeling Takapu know they're in hot water.
31:12I definitely think Vinny wants vengeance.
31:15He wants revenge for what we did to Sammy, for stealing their kai.
31:19And I get it.
31:20Yeah.
31:21It's a game.
31:22They would take our breakfast.
31:24They'd do exactly the same thing.
31:26Yeah, make ourselves feel better.
31:27We're good people.
31:28We're good people.
31:30If you ran it 100 times with 100 different people,
31:33they would play that advantage.
31:34I was also thinking, and I understand if it's not what people want,
31:39but if we had more than what we had of saving a little bit as like a piece of it.
31:44Yeah.
31:44I feel, yeah, like a sense of shame around stealing the food a little bit,
31:51but I understand if that's...
31:52What if we get, because they, um, always all of them eat seafood.
31:54What if we offer up them some hamwa, offer up some kidneys?
31:58That would be really lovely.
31:59I think that's a great idea, Liv.
32:01She just feels so terrible.
32:03She couldn't find the words to say it to the group,
32:05but she didn't think we should have done that.
32:07We should have played that way.
32:08It's a game.
32:09Well, remember, they've got an advantage we don't know about yet.
32:11Yeah, it's true.
32:12So that could be anything, too.
32:14They could go so many different ways.
32:15They're really good.
32:17And if you want to know just how many different ways, let's ask Kahu.
32:21We'll keep Polly.
32:23Yeah, agreed.
32:23You know, even though we all know that she is their weakest link, but if we keep her in the
32:29game,
32:29that slows their whole team down for every single team challenge.
32:34The thing is, like, we don't, we don't even know what the challenge is.
32:37There's nothing to guarantee us a win.
32:39I know.
32:40You know, so, like, one of us could still end up going home after this victory today,
32:44and that would suck.
32:44Over at Camp Takapu, they have many threats, and they seem like a very able team.
32:51There's kind of no one in that team that I'm personally not kind of scared of.
32:58I'd like to take Louis out, but...
33:00It's a big call, eh?
33:01I think Louis would cope with him if we were to take him out.
33:04And also, it feels like he's feeding a lot of the strategy, like, somewhere.
33:08I agree with that.
33:09If we could get Louis off the chessboard, that would be really beneficial to us long term.
33:14I'm just, I don't want to lose a strong player in the house.
33:17Yeah.
33:18Yeah, do we try to take out the big guns now, or go for, like...
33:21A guaranteed kind of upper hand.
33:23While Kahu decide who to throw to the wolves,
33:27over in Takapu, someone is pretty sure they're on the chopping block.
33:31Yeah, maybe measure it in cups so we can get it right.
33:34It's the first time Kahu have had the power to choose who's up for elimination,
33:39and I'm worried they'll choose me.
33:41Ria, who really wants it the most?
33:43Ria really did.
33:45Just that feeling of defeat is unavoidable.
33:50Hi.
33:51Sorry to interrupt.
33:52Hey.
33:53I bring a coffee over to Ben, who is being interviewed.
33:56Coffee for you.
33:58A coffee hard one.
34:01Yeah.
34:01Would you like me to shift to it?
34:03Barge my way into the interview.
34:05Do you know what I reckon they're going to do?
34:06I reckon they're going to put the money up against me.
34:08It would be idiotic for them to try and get rid of Polly because she can barely walk.
34:14So I feel like they'll want to keep her in.
34:16Like payback for the guy, the girl we did in the first elimination.
34:21It's probably really smart of them to attack in the middle.
34:25And I feel like that is where I am.
34:28Come on Ria, is that what you really came here to talk about?
34:32So how do you think people are perceiving our relationship?
34:34It probably crossed some people's mind that these two are going to be
34:38having each other's backs no matter what.
34:41Because of our history, is there a built-in alliance?
34:45And I kind of assume that, yeah, there would be.
34:49And they're going to do their best not to let one another go.
34:52I personally wouldn't feel any more uncomfortable if I had to proverbially throw you under the bus
34:59than I would with any other member of our team.
35:01So I got a bit rejected by Ben, which...
35:07Wasn't that nice?
35:08We're all just part of the same team.
35:10But is that a good strategy?
35:11Like, I don't think I'm the weakest person on our team.
35:14No, certainly not.
35:15I think you're a great addition to our team.
35:17And I think losing you would be a huge loss.
35:20And I kind of think that your prediction might be right.
35:23that you could quite possibly be the one that...
35:27Yeah.
35:28...Tankabi's going to try and eliminate tonight.
35:29Yeah.
35:47I'm super nervous they might pick me.
35:49I'm not ready to go home.
35:51Not yet.
35:56Welcome to Elimination.
35:58Tonight, one of you will be the second person to leave the island and the game.
36:02Missing out on your chance at $100,000 for your charity.
36:06But before the battle begins, we need to find out who's going up.
36:08Simon, come on up.
36:12I believe it'll be me. I truly do.
36:14Because it's a pretty sure thing.
36:17All right, Simon.
36:18Which member from Takapu will be going up for Elimination tonight?
36:21The person we're going to name, it would have been better for us to leave them in the team
36:25than put them up.
36:27But again, this team said that they wanted to do the right thing.
36:31And it wasn't fair for Polly to keep going when she's clearly struggling.
36:36Oh, my God.
36:36Poor Polly needs to be put out of her misery.
36:38Somebody get a gun.
36:39They shoot horses, don't they?
36:40I've been in this business a long time.
36:42It's strategy.
36:44And good on them.
36:45I would have done exactly the same thing.
36:48All right, Simon.
36:48Who from your own team will be going up?
36:51Vinny felt like today was kind of like game on now.
36:55He wants to settle a score.
36:56So Vinny's nominated himself, really.
36:59Vinny, talk me through your thoughts around that.
37:01It wasn't an easy decision.
37:02It doesn't really feel great in my heart knowing that we have kind of chosen an easy target.
37:09What our priority is at this point is keeping us all together.
37:13But at the same time, I do want to make them feel a similar kind of sense of loss that
37:20we felt
37:20when Sami was knocked up.
37:22Well, fellas, here are your rules.
37:25You will work your way through a series of metal tracks, trying to balance a ball on a wooden paddle.
37:31On my go, you will maneuver your ball and paddle through the first track until you reach the checkpoint.
37:36If any time your ball drops, you must restart at the previous checkpoint.
37:40First person to get their ball to the end of the track wins.
37:45Loser, going home, missing out on that $100,000 grand prize for their charity.
37:50Vinny, Polly, take your marks.
37:56Jaden, just real quick before we go.
37:59We in Takapu felt very labored by that decision.
38:02And we also understand the mamai that you feel.
38:05And so, some kaimoana for your table and a peace offering from all of Takapu.
38:12I'm not buying it at all. I feel like I can see straight through it.
38:15I don't think I will have any of that, can I?
38:18I have a little something too, Jaden. Sorry.
38:20I'm not a coffee drinker.
38:22And I know that Nick says, so I stole a bit of coffee for you.
38:25Oh, my God, Polly.
38:29You broke my heart.
38:30I can't. I feel like crap.
38:36All right, Vinny, tell us about your charity.
38:39My charity is Big Buddy, which is an organisation that provides positive male role models
38:45for young boys growing up without fathers.
38:47Awesome, though.
38:50Polly, who are you playing for?
38:52I'm playing for Kidney Health New Zealand.
38:54It's a long waiting list to get a kidney, and I have very close friends and family
38:59who have both donated and received kidneys.
39:02And any publicity I can get for them is immense.
39:05Awesome.
39:09I'm sure they'll both be very proud of you.
39:11Play hard.
39:12Play for them.
39:17Both players playing for their spot in this game.
39:26I'm trying to even team numbers.
39:33I'm failing at first.
39:35Okay, we'll be able to get through this pretty easily, pretty quick.
39:40But before you know it, my ball's dropping.
39:45It's way harder than it looks.
39:48I'm learning how to steady with my hand.
39:51Doing great, Vinny.
39:52Vinny crosses the first hurdle.
39:54Polly making her way up.
39:58This is so ridiculous.
40:01I cannot get on the box and move it.
40:14Vinny makes the first checkpoint.
40:18I'm seeing the choice that we've made, and I'm thinking we went a bit too hard.
40:24For this part, low and strong.
40:27Polly being coached by Louis.
40:30Everyone is so proud of Polly.
40:32You know, she never gives up.
40:34You know, that's just not her mentality.
40:42Vinny reaches his second checkpoint.
40:44Moving on to the third track.
40:47Anything could happen.
40:48I don't know.
40:48Vinny could be struck by lightning.
40:51Great save from Polly.
40:53I'm not going to give up.
40:56Vinny hits his third checkpoint.
40:58Moves on to the final track.
40:59Hurry up, Vinny.
41:00Give me this channel.
41:01Smokey peeps.
41:03Buddy, hurry up, mate.
41:06She is such a trooper.
41:08She's still cracking jokes.
41:10Doing it with a smile on her face.
41:12In true Polly Gillespie form.
41:15Like...
41:15Vinny can make this.
41:16He stays in the game.
41:19Just like that.
41:21Vinny.
41:21It's over.
41:22Staying in the game.
41:24Polly, going home.
41:25Oh, my friend.
41:27I mean, I knew that Vinny was going to win.
41:29I mean, clearly.
41:30I'm glad I wasn't that person that just went, I can't do this.
41:33Because I felt like that person that can't do this.
41:36But, you know, c'est la vie.
41:38Polly, unfortunately, it didn't go your way tonight.
41:41I know that you're going to leave a big hole in your team.
41:43We're all going to miss your quick wit, charm, humour.
41:47Do you have any final words?
41:48This has been one of the best times of my life.
41:51You've been so kind.
41:52I mean, I injured myself getting off the boat.
41:55And you've supported me.
41:56And you've been so patient and kind and beautiful.
41:59I've made a new best friend.
42:02I need to get her a Polly hat now.
42:05Because she looks so cute in it.
42:07I love you all very, very much.
42:09And I just want you to go on.
42:10Go hard.
42:11And wahini toa.
42:13Liv, I would love you to win.
42:15I'd love Ria to win.
42:16I'd love Portia to win.
42:18Can you tell I want a woman to win?
42:20Polly, your time on Treasure Island has come to an end.
42:23Haere rā.
42:23Say your goodbyes.
42:25Head on out.
42:26Haere rā, Jaden.
42:27Thank you, Polly.
42:33She just was, like, such a huge energy in our group.
42:37I just, like, would have never in a million years
42:40dreamt of, like, found someone like her through this experience.
42:43Bye, Polly.
42:44Bye, Polly.
42:45Love you, Polly.
42:45Well, I like the taikapu.
42:46Bye.
42:47Yeah.
42:48I may be the second person out, but I have had a lifetime of fun and experience and friendship.
42:54And I'm going to miss these beautiful people.
42:56My team.
43:01All right, Vinnie.
43:02Congratulations.
43:03You live to fight another day.
43:05You've also earned yourself this.
43:10Keep it to yourself.
43:11Share it with your team.
43:13It's up to you.
43:14Sending Polly home, it doesn't feel as good as I think it should for our first elimination,
43:20for knocking one of them out.
43:21All right.
43:22There are now just 14 of you on the island.
43:25Trust me, it's not going to get any easier.
43:28Every day you play is one step closer to victory and the all-important treasure.
43:33Head back to your kainga, rest up.
43:35See you tomorrow.
43:37It would have been great to knock out one of their stronger members.
43:41I do wonder if Polly was the right decision.
43:44But we've now got a win and we've got the advantage.
43:59Use this card to put the brakes on your opponent and give yourself or your team time advantage.
44:07Okay.
44:09Feel like we're going to need that.
44:14Next time.
44:16The other team will be really fired up today.
44:19It's game on.
44:20Kahoo, seek vengeance.
44:22Simon, I've heard you've got a few tricks up your sleeve today.
44:25Oh my God.
44:26Oh my God.
44:27Are you kidding me?
44:29It's all mental.
44:30I feel like things have been getting a little predictable.
44:32But it's elimination.
44:34So I'm going to shake it up a bit.
44:35That sees the game change for good.
44:37I'm absolutely shocked.
44:39It starts to question whether I have made the right decision.
