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