03:10Celebrity Treasure Island is back and our 16 new celebrities have no idea of the twists, turns and chaos that's
03:19about to hit them.
03:22I'm already nervous for the drama because usually I distance myself from it and now I've gone and put myself
03:31right in the boil up pot.
03:32I mean, I didn't come here to stir the pot, but if the pot needs stirring, well, damn.
03:40People think I'm a princess, you know, because I wear the tiaras and I love glam and I love dressing
03:45up and I love sparkles.
03:47I don't have, like, you know, the guns and I probably don't look like the smartest person, but I grew
03:54up with three brothers, you know, I had to fight for everything that I got.
04:00I'm always going to come on this.
04:02Oh, I just love the show, eh?
04:04Pretty good show.
04:05I've watched it, like, in those seasons.
04:08And I just want to, like, dig up trees like a pirate.
04:10That's pretty cool.
04:11That's like a dream.
04:12That's a dream job right there, you know?
04:14Bucket list.
04:19I'm a family man, simple man, lives on the coast, quiet, fishing, diving, you know, my little life.
04:26And then anything versus someone else, I'm a competitive demon.
04:32If it's me versus you, it's me, man.
04:38I'm a sports reporter.
04:39That's where I hope people know me from.
04:41I'm not a sportsman.
04:42I'm definitely not adventurous.
04:45This is definitely outside my comfort zone.
04:48Like, what am I doing here?
04:49I don't know.
04:52I would love to win this whole thing.
04:53I think a woman needs to win this.
04:56So, I'm here to play.
04:57I'm here to play to win.
04:59I am pumped.
05:01Oh, I feel that in my cockles, eh?
05:05Dude, I've done no training.
05:07I've done no training in any...
05:08I'm in, like, city mode right now.
05:11I don't really know much about how the show works.
05:14I've read a lot of Wikipedia articles about it.
05:17I feel like there's a lot of running involved.
05:19I feel like there's a lot of rice and beans in the show.
05:22My fitness is at an all-time low.
05:24Last Refuge.
05:25Oh, shit.
05:27I don't know what's happening.
05:29I don't know what's happening.
05:31I don't know what I'm signed up for.
05:35I have spent the last few years not being as adventurous as I used to be.
05:39So, I'm just trying to do things that challenge me and not just be afraid of life.
05:45I don't want to be afraid of life.
05:46I don't have a great sense of balance.
05:48It's less than a foot deep.
05:49We are about to find out whether my idea of coming in here is really dumb or really smart.
05:59I just did something crazy behind me.
06:02It was our arrival on the island.
06:04Just follow me.
06:05March up the beach purposefully.
06:07Turn around.
06:08Gotcha.
06:09What is going on?
06:11Hey, we need a medic, mate.
06:13What'd you do?
06:14I'm getting off the boat.
06:15I've done something through here.
06:17Okay.
06:18Can I have you sitting down here?
06:19Well, that's a record.
06:21Not even five minutes in and we're already calling the medic.
06:24Buckle up, folks.
06:25I've really done a mischief to my knee.
06:27I haven't even really started the game yet and I'm a lame duck.
06:31It's like, it's so frustrating and disappointing.
06:34It's not the pain.
06:35It's just I don't want to let my team down.
06:37I'm worried for my team, but sometimes pain can disperse through adrenaline and that's
06:43what I'm certainly hoping.
06:45See?
06:45Yay!
06:46Woo-hoo!
06:47A strained knee might not be the adventure Polly had in mind.
06:51Oh, jeez.
06:53But she's not about to let it dampen her spirits.
06:56Absolute icon.
06:58All right, back into the action.
07:06Here they come.
07:07Fresh, fearless and totally unprepared.
07:10Just the way I like it.
07:13Well, well, well, fancy seeing you guys here.
07:19The first thing going through my head is, holy hell, they are so young and beautiful.
07:26I am feeling very nervous.
07:29I'm feeling really excited.
07:31Whoa.
07:32I saw the other team and I was like, we've got this.
07:36Like, we've got this.
07:37Which is crazy to say.
07:43The rugged landscape forming the tale of the legendary fisher of Maui, hauled up from the
07:48depths of the ocean.
07:49This is the wha'a north.
07:52The place of meeting seas, shifting sands and ancient stories.
07:57Home to sacred sites such as Tererenga Wairua, Cape Renga, where, according to Maori, the spirits
08:03of the departed, take their final leap into the spiritual realm.
08:06It is home to the tribes of Muri Whenua, and we are privileged to stand in this place.
08:11Treat it with respect.
08:13Carry yourselves with mana, and honour the stories it holds.
08:18I probably should mention my old mate Jayden's back.
08:22Yeah.
08:24It's because you miss me, isn't it?
08:25Yeah.
08:27It was almost believable.
08:28I'll take it.
08:29It's good to have you back.
08:30Good to be back, Bree.
08:30All right, team, take a good look around.
08:34These are your people.
08:35Your island whānau.
08:37How long you stay, whānau?
08:40That's up to you.
08:43Liv Parker's here.
08:44Good to see you, mate.
08:46Good to be here.
08:47Your brother, Chris Parker, won Celebrity Treasure Island.
08:50No pressure.
08:51No pressure.
08:52And he won it right here in this very place.
08:54Okay, yeah, I'm crumbling under that pressure.
08:58Chris Parker is my older brother, who won the iconic season of 2021.
09:04Tell us the truth.
09:05Did he give you any words of wisdom?
09:07Truly, he gave me words of affirmation, because he knows me.
09:11I think because he knows me really well, his advice was more like, be present, don't be hard on yourself.
09:18And he was just like, big bro, kind of like, supportive.
09:22Vinnie Bennett.
09:23Kia ora, Jaden.
09:24You played a young Vin Diesel in Fast and Furious.
09:27Are you planning on bringing that same ride-or-die energy to the island?
09:30We'll have to find out, won't we?
09:35I was very Vin Diesel.
09:37I think people will underestimate my mental game.
09:40I think they might expect me to just depend on, you know, the physical and the brute force kind of
09:47side of it all.
09:48But...
09:51Nah, we're on.
09:53They'll see.
09:55Polly Gillespie.
09:56Hey.
09:57Great to see you.
09:58You have had an illustrious radio career, giving you battle-tested experience and wisdom.
10:04Do you think any of that's going to help you in this game?
10:07Absolutely not.
10:10We didn't either.
10:12David Kareos is here, or should I say David Chaos.
10:15Mate, you're known for being about as calm as a seagull in a chip shop.
10:20I just clicked. I just clicked.
10:23That took a while, but I clicked.
10:24Thank you, David.
10:24Yeah, that's a good one. That's a good one.
10:25What's going on up here right now for you?
10:27I'm, uh, I'm cold.
10:29I'm cold, but I'm ready to warm up.
10:31I think the worst thing that could happen is burning bridges with people that I don't know that well yet.
10:38The more I get to know someone, I feel like that's when my more annoying parts of me come out.
10:44I think the worst thing that could happen is, like, people getting annoyed with me.
10:47Right.
10:48If you were listening carefully, there are a few hints in there as to why you've been placed into these
10:53two teams.
10:54Basically, we've put everyone with ADHD into one team.
11:02And your first challenge is to figure out which team that is.
11:07Obviously, I'm kidding. Kind of.
11:10Blue team, you have all been chosen because you carry wisdom of the sea.
11:20Orange, you bring the fury of the skies.
11:25That's right, guys. This season is wisdom versus fury.
11:34We like it. I've got goosies.
11:37The wisdom and fury thing makes a lot of sense for the two groups.
11:40But I interpret that as just old versus young.
11:44Let me explain a little bit more.
11:46Over here on the wisdom side, we have not one, but two TV doctors.
11:51And as we know, doctors have all the answers.
11:53How's it going, Ben and Ria?
11:54Pretty good.
11:56Not sure I've got all the answers, but...
11:57Between us, we've got all the answers.
12:00I'd like to think I'm a little bit of an all-rounder,
12:02but I'm going to be as surprised as anybody else
12:05in terms of what I'm good at doing and what I'm not good at doing.
12:10I'm a wild card to me.
12:12We also have Frank Buds, the wise experience.
12:15Give it up.
12:18People always keep saying wise, but I'm not quite sure why.
12:21Because you're carrying that stick, Frank.
12:23Yeah.
12:24Frank Buns is there.
12:25I've looked up to that guy.
12:26You know, like, I'm just chilling out with Frank Buns, the all-black.
12:29You know, that's pretty surreal.
12:30Frank, you're a CTI alumni.
12:32Remind us what year that was?
12:33That was 2001, I think.
12:36How are you feeling about being back?
12:38I'm feeling great, actually.
12:39Every time he asks him, he says he can't remember him.
12:43You know, I get asked why would you do it again?
12:45And it's the people, you know, it's always the people comes back down
12:48because I can't remember any of the challenges.
12:50I can't remember the food.
12:52Over here on the Fury side, we have musician Georgia Lyons,
12:56fuelled by fire and passion.
12:58And here's a tip.
12:59If you do cross her, she will go Taylor Swift on your ass
13:02and write a song about you.
13:03Is that right, Georgia?
13:05I'm gathering things as I go, working on new projects.
13:08And this is like...
13:09I bloody bet you are.
13:10I've got my eyes on you.
13:12And I can't go past mentioning Jason Momoa's on-screen wife
13:16and warrior wahena toa.
13:19Tao, have you brought your best warrior face with you?
13:21Oh, absolutely.
13:22Not sure about the warrior legs, though.
13:24We'll find out.
13:24If you see me fall, just pretend it didn't happen.
13:27Cut it out.
13:28You would have seen me in Chief of War
13:30standing next to Jason Momoa's ass cheeks.
13:35Can we see a bit of the warrior face right here, right now?
13:38Oh!
13:41Yes, he is too old for me, but it's all good.
13:44He's the bro.
13:46Well, who wants to know their team names?
13:48Yeah!
13:50Blue team, you are Takapu.
13:53The gannet, the master of the open sea,
13:56living where wind and water meet.
13:58A symbol of wisdom, precision and endurance.
14:02Calm in the air, fearless in the deep.
14:05They move with instinct,
14:07only striking when the time is right.
14:12Orange, your team is Kahu.
14:14The Harrier Hawk.
14:16Soaring high above the whenua,
14:17gliding on the shifting winds.
14:20It is more than a hunter.
14:21It is a kaitiaki.
14:24Kahu stands as a symbol of vision,
14:27vigilance and strength.
14:29Nice.
14:31That's good, that's good, that's good.
14:32I like it.
14:32All right.
14:33I think that is enough talking,
14:35enough posing for the cameras.
14:37Who's ready for their first challenge?
14:39Yeah!
14:40Yeah!
14:41Yeah!
14:43First up,
14:45you'll be going head to head.
14:46And trust me,
14:47there is a lot riding on this one.
14:49Oh no.
14:49No.
14:50Oh no.
14:51You're about to battle it out
14:52to decide who will become
14:53your first fearless leaders.
14:56And if you've ever watched
14:57Celebrity Treasure Island,
14:58you would know that the Kaihotu in this game
15:00holds all the power.
15:02Now, before we kick off,
15:05there's a surprise twist.
15:08Yo.
15:09Oh my God, I just got shivers.
15:11I just got shivers.
15:13Oh, I'm excited about this.
15:15Oh my God.
15:16Oh my God.
15:27There are two more celebs
15:29waiting in the wings,
15:31ready to crash the party.
15:32Oh my God.
15:34Sweet.
15:36And trust us,
15:39they are absolute legends
15:40in their fields.
15:43Whichever team wins
15:44this first challenge
15:45gets to choose
15:46one of them
15:46as your Kaihotu.
15:47Oh.
15:50Oh.
15:52Oh.
15:52Oh.
15:53It's kind of like
15:54Celebrity Treasure Island Tinder.
15:55And trust me,
15:56you want to be swiping right first.
16:00Who's ready
16:01for their first challenge?
16:02Yeah.
16:03Yeah.
16:04Yeah.
16:04All right.
16:06First up,
16:08one player from each team
16:09will enter the arena
16:10armed with a balancing disc
16:11and a small statue
16:12balancing on that disc.
16:14Your aim
16:15is to knock your opponent's
16:16statue to the ground.
16:18First team to seven points wins.
16:21Capuche?
16:21Capuche.
16:23Let's do this thing.
16:29All right.
16:30For this first round,
16:31we're going to have
16:32female against female.
16:34I'll give you a second
16:35to choose who that will be.
16:36Then we'll get into it.
16:38You guys together.
16:40I back my team.
16:41I think we're awesome.
16:42But that other team
16:44is super young.
16:46Hotness doesn't really matter,
16:47but super hot.
16:49Yeah, I'll go first.
16:50Oh!
16:53Sammy Poole,
16:54former Miss New Zealand
16:57versus Rhea Vandervis,
17:00Shorty Street alumni.
17:02Like, I just wanted
17:03to get the nerves out of the way
17:04because that's what I do
17:05in everything in life.
17:06If I can go first,
17:07then it means that it's done first.
17:08Facing off for the first challenge
17:10in Celebrity Treasure Island.
17:13This is a big one.
17:14Kaurite, you ready?
17:16This wind is rushing through,
17:19and it is definitely
17:20going to make this so hard.
17:23Tima Poole.
17:24Tima Poole.
17:24Yeah, be conservative early.
17:26Be conservative early, Rhea.
17:27Be conservative early.
17:28He's stalking like a cat on heat.
17:31Take it slow.
17:32Broke's trying to work out
17:33his strategies.
17:34Be the takabu.
17:35No one wants to be
17:36the first to lose.
17:37I try a few flicks.
17:39Oh!
17:40Nice, Rhea.
17:41They're not landing.
17:42Then I feel like
17:43I've got this great,
17:44great chance.
17:46Nice, Rhea.
17:50To be fair,
17:51I was robbed by the wind.
17:53I swear.
17:55Sammy gets the first point.
18:00Yeah, I think I've proved myself.
18:01Maybe a little too early,
18:02but I think I've definitely
18:03proved myself.
18:04We have one point for Kauru.
18:06Zero for takapu.
18:08Not a great start to the competition,
18:11but it's only up from here.
18:14Okay, for the second round,
18:15we're going to have two guys
18:17up against two guys.
18:19Last person standing.
18:20Their team wins the point.
18:21What do you want to do?
18:22Let's go.
18:23Let's go.
18:24First time we walk into the ring,
18:26it's like two people
18:27for the first time.
18:28I think I'm going to do
18:29all right at it.
18:30I think I'm going to do
18:31all right at it,
18:31because I'm going to try
18:32and be shriky about it.
18:33Yeah, they're really tall, eh?
18:35They're real tall.
18:35Look at them.
18:36They're so tall, eh?
18:36They're big units.
18:37What workout do you do
18:38for your height?
18:39So I'm going like,
18:40okay, we'll just have to go
18:41for one person
18:42for a lockout bend.
18:45Yeah!
18:45Louie and Vinnie's
18:47statues fall.
18:48They're out of the game.
18:52I've got to distract Ben.
18:54And like, just a lot
18:55of eye contact.
18:56Like, I don't want him
18:57focusing on the statue.
18:58I want him focusing on me.
18:59We should work together.
19:01We should.
19:01No, we should.
19:03Boom.
19:04Find my,
19:04find my moment.
19:06Got it off.
19:07Taking Kahu to two points.
19:10Look at him.
19:11He's stoked.
19:12I love this.
19:13And this is why I love
19:14Celebrity Treasure Island.
19:15You never know
19:16what's going to happen.
19:17All right,
19:18contestants,
19:18are you ready?
19:19Yes.
19:20Timata.
19:20I'm competitive enough
19:22to know I can do this.
19:23I can do this, Polly.
19:25You've got old age and treachery.
19:27You're going to be fine.
19:28Come on, team.
19:30Come on, Knicks.
19:31No!
19:32You're out.
19:34Live statue falls.
19:37Polly versus Tao.
19:39Oh, dirty tactics.
19:42Both statues down at the same time.
19:45Who's hit the ground first?
19:46Play there, Beck.
19:48Play there, Beck.
19:49We're going to have to go
19:50to the VAR for that one.
19:52Yes.
19:54It's a draw.
19:55Good game, good game.
19:56But you know what?
19:58Polly, she's fast.
20:00All right,
20:00after that draw,
20:01we still have two points to Kahu,
20:03zero points to Takapu.
20:04There is a lot riding
20:06on this challenge.
20:07Go, Harrison, keep.
20:09Georgia Lions for Kahu.
20:11Ria Vandervous.
20:13And Frank Fudd's for Takapu.
20:18I'm on blue.
20:20I got chased by Frank.
20:23Yeah.
20:24He's real scary.
20:27It's just the test match.
20:28You know, you're just waiting.
20:30Shall I go?
20:30Shall I get?
20:31Shall I move?
20:31You know?
20:35He pretty much just put his arm
20:36and just knocked it off.
20:38And I was like,
20:38man, do what you want,
20:39honestly.
20:40I love you.
20:41And I got off
20:41and just winked at him.
20:43He poked his tongue out at me.
20:44But,
20:45mean.
20:47Can Ria pull the first point
20:49for Takapu?
20:50Come on, Ria.
20:51Come on, Ria.
20:52I really want to get a point
20:55for my team
20:56because we are not doing so well.
20:58The wind is blowing.
21:02Fell down.
21:03Every time.
21:05Nice try.
21:06Kahu, go three, zip.
21:08Just watch yours, mate.
21:09Watch your statue.
21:11Oh!
21:13Vinny!
21:14We are being knocked down
21:18left, right, and centre.
21:23This could not be going worse.
21:26We have five points to Kahu.
21:28Zero points to Takapu.
21:30Remember, it's first to seven.
21:31We are going to win this.
21:33We already made our minds up.
21:35We've already celebrated.
21:40David, we're doing the cha-cha.
21:43High five.
21:44High three.
21:45There was a job.
21:48Takapu pulls in their first point.
21:51It's a long way back from here,
21:52but it's been done before.
21:54Nice, Ria.
21:55Can Ria get the second point
21:57from her team?
21:57They both reach it.
21:59And next,
22:00over-exerts,
22:01drops to a statue.
22:02Ria takes the second point
22:04for Takapu.
22:05It feels really good
22:06to get that point.
22:07Good count!
22:08Suddenly, it looks like
22:09things might turn around.
22:11Takapu now has two points.
22:13Kahu has five.
22:14Let's go, Harrison.
22:15Harrison keeps dipping in again.
22:17And Ben Barrington.
22:19I really think Ben
22:20will be our saviour.
22:21He's tall.
22:22He's also muscly
22:24and handsome as well.
22:25Be careful of that.
22:26Come on, Ben A.
22:27Both men meet in the middle.
22:31Ben drops his statue.
22:35Match point.
22:36Team Mata!
22:38Georgia Lions
22:39implementing the moonwalk tactic.
22:41You got it, Georgia.
22:42Russia, Russia.
22:44Got it, Georgia.
22:44In your time, Georgia.
22:45That's it, that's it, that's it.
22:46Block her in.
22:48Oh, oh, oh!
22:51Oh!
22:52Oh!
22:52Oh!
22:53Oh!
22:55Oh!
22:57Oh!
22:58Oh!
22:59Oh!
23:00We actually stomped them, eh.
23:02I'm feeling pretty confident
23:03about being on the island,
23:04to be honest.
23:05If this is the vibe,
23:06it's going to be so sick.
23:08Congratulations, Kahu.
23:08You have taken out
23:09the first challenge.
23:11You have earned the right
23:12to choose
23:13which of the two legends
23:14you want as your Kaihotu.
23:17very exciting
23:18that we get to choose
23:18our captain.
23:19Huge advantage.
23:21I think it's pretty important.
23:23Are you ready to find out
23:24who those legends are?
23:25Yes!
23:27Well, you're going to have
23:27to wait until the next challenge.
23:29Oh, yeah.
23:30I know.
23:32Suspense is my love language.
23:35Who could it be?
23:36Will it be sports people?
23:38Will it be a movie star?
23:39Will it be a Kardashian?
23:41Like,
23:42it wouldn't be a Kardashian,
23:43would it?
23:43All right, Kahu,
23:44head that way
23:45where you'll find your kainga.
23:47Takapu,
23:48yours will be that way.
23:50Settle in.
23:51We'll see you very soon
23:52for the first team face-off.
23:53Get out of here, guys.
23:54See you soon.
23:57We don't get to choose.
23:59The other team get to choose.
24:00Yeah.
24:01It's completely out of our control.
24:03We don't have any power.
24:18Oh, my God.
24:22It does have an ocean view.
24:24Having just arrived at camp,
24:27it looks like we're sort of
24:30Glastonbury camping
24:30without the mud
24:32and without the pillows.
24:34I think I have to be down.
24:35Yeah.
24:36You know, like,
24:36I'm sharing a bunk
24:37with Frank Bunts.
24:38Like, that is nuts.
24:39I'm on the top bunk.
24:40He's on the bottom bunk.
24:41And I'm going to be like,
24:42hey, Frank,
24:43like, we're bunk buddies.
24:44They had to take the bottom bunk
24:45because there's no way
24:46I'm climbing up a ladder.
24:47You know,
24:47and then in the middle of the night
24:48I have to climb down
24:49and go to the toilet.
24:50Fart is on the bottom bunk.
24:51Oh, here we go.
24:52The classic celebrity
24:53Treasure Island camp banter.
24:56Fart jokes and bunk chatter,
24:58truly the soundtrack of day one.
25:00Actually, it's probably
25:01nicer than the beds.
25:02Can you bring us a pillow?
25:04I wonder how Kahu
25:05are settling in.
25:06This is cool.
25:07Really?
25:08Oh, this is cool.
25:10I am so stoked
25:12to see walls on our camp.
25:15I have no complaints.
25:17There's a sleeping bag.
25:18There's a hammock.
25:19There's a beach in my backyard.
25:21And don't forget
25:22an empty bunk.
25:23Wait, who's going to sleep
25:24in that one?
25:24I know, maybe...
25:25Our captain.
25:26Oh, our captain.
25:27Oh, I want to...
25:27No, I'm going to sleep
25:28next to the captain.
25:29Oh, I see how it is.
25:31I see how it is.
25:31Just like whispering
25:32sweet nothing thing.
25:34I love my team.
25:36We're bonded
25:37really, really quickly.
25:39I'm so happy that
25:40we all work together.
25:42But how's about that?
25:43We've f***ing won
25:44the first challenge.
25:45Yeah.
25:46Oh, hey.
25:47We did, we did.
25:48We did, we did.
25:51How did you feel
25:51when you walked in
25:52and saw the other team?
25:53Like, honestly.
25:53I was nervous
25:54and then I wasn't.
25:55Nah, I was like,
25:56mean, we're a mean team.
25:57Yeah, I wasn't envious
25:58in the slightest.
26:00Yeah.
26:00I didn't expect us
26:01to, like,
26:03like, dominate like that.
26:04We, like,
26:05he dominated that game.
26:07They're also wise.
26:08They kind of look wise.
26:09They do look wise too.
26:09They do look wise too.
26:10But we still won
26:11so it's fine.
26:11Old, you mean old?
26:12Not old, wise.
26:14You've been wise.
26:14They were wise.
26:15Wise, old.
26:16It's funny how those words
26:18suddenly get mixed up out here.
26:20Careful boys,
26:21takapu might just school you yet.
26:24They are so young.
26:26Very young.
26:26What a, where was them
26:27and then what?
26:28Theory versus wisdom.
26:29Thank you, Polly.
26:30At least someone was listening.
26:32AKA old and young.
26:34All right, I give up.
26:36Kahoo, young whippersnappers.
26:39Takapu, old whale.
26:44Our team has some knee issues
26:45and some asthma
26:46and this, that and the next
26:47and we're going to have to find
26:49a way to overcome that.
26:51But, but, but.
26:52Old age and treachery
26:53always wins over youth
26:55and enthusiasm.
26:57So I have my vote.
26:57Well, I did it that time.
26:58No, no.
26:59I'm talking about the long game.
27:01The long game.
27:02The long game.
27:02I think it's good.
27:03We've just got to feel them out
27:04a little bit.
27:05Yeah.
27:05We know what we're up against.
27:08That was kind of
27:08our team's first test of friction
27:11and I think we're getting through it
27:12with a bit of toxic positivity.
27:14People are saying,
27:14yeah, it's really good
27:15to lose the first challenge.
27:16It's a better story
27:16and all I'm thinking is
27:18we've lost the abilities,
27:20have the first choice of captain
27:23and I'm a little bit worried
27:24if I'm honest.
27:26What kind of captain are we up?
27:28Do we want someone
27:28Yeah, do we want someone
27:29like athletic or?
27:32What if they take it
27:33too seriously then?
27:34Nah, I want like an athletic
27:35person with like a big heart though.
27:37We're also going to pick someone
27:38who kind of like fits the vibe as well.
27:40I think that's the main thing.
27:41You know, like we're not really
27:42taking this too seriously
27:43and I think that's why
27:44we're doing well.
27:46Yeah.
27:46We're a ragtag bunch of kids.
27:48We don't need a step parent
27:49to come in
27:50and start making weird,
27:52crazy decisions
27:52because that's not how
27:53the fairy tales go.
27:54Is Valerie Adams available?
27:56Because she'd be handy.
27:57If it's someone like a,
27:58you know, like a Porsche Woodman,
28:00you know, you'd be like
28:00instant pick.
28:02I think it's going to be
28:02Taika Waititi.
28:04He's looking fit.
28:05Good be him.
28:05He's a legend in this field.
28:07All I'm thinking is
28:08I hope this captain
28:10is a miracle worker
28:11to come in
28:12and turn this ship around.
28:14Well, we've got somewhere
28:15to go from here, guys.
28:16That's right.
28:17And that somewhere's up.
28:18Yeah.
28:18Up to them.
28:20The Kahu.
28:21The Kahu have the power
28:22to choose
28:23out of two legends
28:24in their field.
28:26Let's just hope
28:27they choose wrong.
28:44What is this?
28:54Welcome to the first
28:55team face-off.
28:56Woo!
29:00I bet the suspense
29:02is killing you right now,
29:03isn't it?
29:03Yeah.
29:04Are you ready to find out
29:05who these two legends are?
29:06Yes.
29:09Get it in, you lot!
29:12Oh, my gosh.
29:13Who is it?
29:14Who is it?
29:14Who is it?
29:17It's Portia Woodman-Rickcliffe
29:19and Simon Barnett.
29:22Look at them go.
29:23Here they come.
29:25Come on through, guys.
29:27Good job.
29:28So pumped to see Portia.
29:30I've always admired her.
29:32I'm so stoked to see Simon.
29:34Simon, look at his body.
29:37His abs.
29:37He wore, like,
29:38an extra, extra small shirt.
29:40I love that about him.
29:41Nice of you to join us.
29:44Oh, honestly,
29:44to be here,
29:45it's unbelievable.
29:47I think it's the unknown.
29:49Makes me feel really nervous,
29:50but also really excited.
29:52Probably more nervous for this
29:53than any World Cup
29:54I've ever been a part of.
29:57Simon, like Frank Bunce,
29:59you're also a CTI alumni.
30:01Why on earth
30:02would you put yourself
30:03through this again?
30:04I really wasn't sure.
30:05I'm getting older
30:05and I've been to a few things
30:06recently, so I thought,
30:07I'll do it, yeah.
30:09About two years ago,
30:10I lost my wife
30:11to brain cancer
30:12and I spoke with my daughters
30:15when I was asked to do it
30:16and they said,
30:16Dad, you know,
30:17it's either this
30:17or sitting at home.
30:18I know Jode would
30:20relish me being here.
30:21So very mixed emotions,
30:23truthfully,
30:23very mixed emotions.
30:25Well,
30:26Kahu,
30:27you have one minute
30:28to make your decision.
30:29Go.
30:34It would be unreal
30:36to have the greatest athlete
30:38New Zealand has ever produced
30:40on our team,
30:40but since we have lost to Kahu,
30:42she is definitely getting chosen first.
30:44We're trusting.
30:45We're trusting.
30:46We trust the group.
30:48Portia is the obvious choice
30:49to be our captain.
30:50I want her to be my captain.
30:52Imagine the sisterhood
30:53we could create.
30:54She'd be amazing
30:55as our captain.
30:56All right,
30:57Kahu,
30:58who's it going to be?
31:00All I'm thinking is
31:01our captain
31:02is the radio guy.
31:13All right,
31:15Kahu,
31:15who's it going to be?
31:17Portia,
31:17one of the greatest athletes
31:19this country
31:20has ever produced.
31:21Oh,
31:21come on.
31:24Or,
31:25Simon.
31:26One of the most ripped men.
31:28One of the most ripped men
31:30you've ever seen
31:31and also a voice
31:32that has raised
31:33multiple generations
31:34of New Zealanders.
31:38Simon.
31:40Oh!
31:43You felt sorry for me,
31:45but I'll take it.
31:46I'm big on charity.
31:48Idiot.
31:49That is,
31:50no offence,
31:51Simon,
31:51a terrible decision.
31:52Takapu.
31:53That means Portia
31:54is your kaihotu.
31:58Thanks, guys.
31:59I think they had
32:00completely altered
32:01the trajectory
32:02of their team
32:03with that choice.
32:05Simon,
32:05Portia,
32:06these are your captain's staffs,
32:08your mana hotu,
32:09a symbol of leadership
32:10and guardianship.
32:12With these,
32:12you hold the power to lead
32:13and the authority
32:15to steer your team
32:16on this journey.
32:18Come and grab them.
32:20Thank you very much.
32:23I think we picked,
32:24I'm pretty happy
32:25with that decision.
32:26All right,
32:27let's get things moving.
32:28It is time for the wero.
32:30This one's going to be fun.
32:31It's slingshot volleyball.
32:33Oh!
32:35You'll be battling
32:36inside this fenced arena,
32:37one team to each side.
32:39Each team will start
32:40with 20 balls on their side
32:41and one slingshot.
32:42The Kaihotu
32:43must nominate one player
32:44to be their shooter.
32:46On my call,
32:47shooters will fire balls
32:48through the hole
32:48in the centre wall,
32:49aiming to land them
32:50on the other team's side.
32:51Teammates will collect balls
32:52that don't make it through
32:53and run them back
32:54to their shooter
32:54for reloading.
32:55You can fire the other team's balls
32:56back through the hole.
32:58The Kaihotu
32:58can swap shooters
32:59at any time,
33:00but then that shooter
33:01is out of the game.
33:04First team
33:04to clear all balls
33:05from their side
33:06wins.
33:07Now,
33:07I can see by the looks
33:08on your faces,
33:09you're probably wondering
33:10what's on the line.
33:11Yes.
33:11Yes.
33:13Well,
33:14today's reward
33:14is literally
33:15on the line.
33:17It's fish again!
33:19Yes!
33:21If we could win that...
33:23Oh, my God!
33:24And then if I caught fish
33:26for our group...
33:27Oh, my God.
33:28My dad would be proud.
33:31Yeah, no,
33:32we've got to get this one.
33:33We have got to get it.
33:35There's also
33:35another surprise.
33:37Oh, hello.
33:39This one's not so nice.
33:40Oh.
33:42Tonight,
33:43one of you
33:44will be sent packing.
33:46Missing out
33:46on your shot
33:47at the $100,000
33:48for your chosen charity.
33:50So lock in, guys,
33:52because the game
33:53starts right now.
33:55Not stoked about that.
33:57Real vibe killer.
33:59Real vibe killer.
34:00Not fun.
34:02The winning team's
34:02Kaihotu
34:03will get to choose
34:04one person
34:05from each side
34:06to fight it out
34:07in the first elimination battle
34:08tonight.
34:10Oh, no.
34:12I,
34:13who've just got here,
34:14has to go and send
34:15someone up for elimination.
34:16It's cruel.
34:17It's really, really cruel.
34:19All right.
34:20Let's do this.
34:21Let's do it.
34:25Let's do it.
34:26First up,
34:27shooting for takupi,
34:28we have Zion.
34:30Did not expect them to choose.
34:32What's his name?
34:34Sorry?
34:35Zion.
34:36The team looks so
34:37physically threatening
34:39and he looks so sweet.
34:42Fakahu,
34:43we have Vinny Bennett.
34:45I look through the hole
34:46and I see Vinny.
34:47I was like, awesome.
34:48Again,
34:49I have to come up
34:50against this guy again.
34:51Good luck, Vinny.
34:52Come on, team.
34:53I saw the slingshot
34:55immediately
34:55and I was keen
34:56to have a go with it.
34:58I was like,
34:58okay,
34:59here we go.
34:59We're about to dominate
35:00this one again.
35:01Kwarita,
35:02are you ready?
35:03Yes!
35:04Tumata!
35:07Oh my God,
35:08there is balls
35:08flying everywhere.
35:10Boom!
35:11Go!
35:12It's just full on.
35:13Like,
35:13I'm looking around
35:14and I'm like,
35:14oh my God,
35:15I've got a ball rolling to me.
35:17Grab that,
35:17pick it up,
35:18wait till Vinny,
35:19hand it over.
35:19Oh, nice.
35:20Oh my God,
35:21it is full on.
35:22How long will it take
35:23each man
35:24to get their eye in?
35:26See, we're not getting it in properly.
35:28Oh, shit.
35:29He let go of the slingshot
35:30and the ball dropped
35:31and the slingshot
35:31went further than the ball.
35:33It may look easy.
35:34It's not.
35:35Oh, nothing.
35:36It's going horribly wrong.
35:38Balls aren't even
35:39making it into the air.
35:41Oh my gosh.
35:44Oh!
35:46Let's go, let's go, let's go!
35:48First person to get a ball
35:50through the hole,
35:50Kahu has one ball.
35:52Get it, get it first.
35:54Yes!
35:56Vinny has two
35:57as he got his eye in.
35:59Go, Vinny!
36:00Yes!
36:02Vinny has three over.
36:04Will this be a short challenge?
36:07Vinny's got his eye in
36:08straight away.
36:09What has Zion got?
36:11Has Portia made
36:12the wise decision
36:13in this one?
36:14It's all right.
36:14Take your time.
36:15He's shooting above the hole
36:17to the left,
36:18to the right.
36:18It's like, oh, brother.
36:19You want to keep it the same
36:20like that
36:21so that you're learning
36:23as it goes.
36:24And I've already got,
36:24Louis, are you ready
36:25to step in
36:26if Zion doesn't quite crack it?
36:27And he's like,
36:28yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
36:29Sweet.
36:30Go.
36:31But then he gets a couple
36:33like just hitting
36:33the top of the hole.
36:34Yes, it was so close.
36:36Just to the side of it
36:37and we're like,
36:37okay, you're in there, bro.
36:38You've got this.
36:40Take your time.
36:41Yes!
36:42One.
36:43Yes!
36:44Two.
36:44Come on, Zion!
36:46Three.
36:46And we're like,
36:46yes, Zion,
36:47you've got it!
36:49Yes!
36:50Zion gets another ball
36:51through.
36:52That's four for Takapu.
36:53Bing, bing, bing, bing.
36:57Oh, that was one
36:58that crossed over
36:59in the middle.
37:00Did you see that?
37:02Yeah, nice, Vinny.
37:03Kahu has seven balls
37:05on the other side.
37:06Takapu has eight balls.
37:08Nice shot, shot.
37:10Vinny evens it up.
37:12Takapu answer straight away.
37:14We are neck and neck.
37:17And another one comes through.
37:18Do Kahu have an answer?
37:20Nice shot, Vinny.
37:22Nice, mate.
37:23Zion is just smashing it.
37:27Yes!
37:28Yes, Zion!
37:28Takapu only have five balls left.
37:30Quick, quick, quick, quick.
37:31They've only got five balls left,
37:33and I decide we need to start
37:35giving Vinny the other team's balls.
37:38Kahu loading up
37:39one of Takapu's balls.
37:40This is the first time
37:42a ball from another team
37:43has been loaded.
37:44Yes!
37:44And he gets it through,
37:45giving Takapu one more ball
37:47to fire back.
37:48One for one.
37:49One orange, one blue.
37:50And a boy!
37:50Yes!
37:51And a boy!
37:51And then they follow up
37:53with their own!
37:53God damn it!
37:55Go, Vinny!
37:56We start getting
37:56a couple of them through,
37:57and now we're thinking,
37:59okay, we're setting them back.
38:01Yes, sir!
38:02Beautiful!
38:03But they just keep
38:04firing them back through.
38:05Zion gets another ball through,
38:07four balls left.
38:10Zion, he's not just
38:12a sports reporter,
38:13he is a sports star!
38:15Takapu only have
38:16three balls left.
38:17Three to go.
38:18Let's bring it home.
38:19Come on, come on, come on.
38:21Yes!
38:22And another one!
38:24Maybe do it a bit stronger.
38:25And that's when I think
38:26I started panicking.
38:28Oh, f***!
38:29I struggled to find
38:31the rhythm.
38:32F***!
38:33He's not hitting.
38:34And Zion found his.
38:36Come on.
38:40Oh, damn!
38:41Takapu, have one more ball
38:43left to fire!
38:44Come on, mate.
38:46Yeah!
38:47Yeah!
38:49Yeah!
38:51Zion, you're a legend!
38:53Takapu, Portia Woodman
38:55leads her team to victory!
38:57Frank Bunce was on one shoulder,
38:59Portia, Louis,
39:01Polly was there on one leg.
39:03Oh, like,
39:03it was just the moment
39:04that we needed.
39:05It was, oh,
39:07that was terrific.
39:08Oh, yes!
39:09That's official!
39:10So good, bro.
39:11He did so good, bro.
39:12He did so good.
39:13He did so good.
39:14It really sucked.
39:16Once again,
39:17the game becomes a reality
39:18when you see how
39:19the weight of a challenge
39:20is on one person.
39:24And I really felt
39:26to the knee
39:26and just could see
39:27that he was carrying
39:28that weight.
39:29You put everything in that.
39:30I felt gutted.
39:31I felt like I let
39:33my team down.
39:35Now it feels like
39:35we're on the back foot.
39:44Kahu might have lost
39:46the first face-off.
39:47We're still happy,
39:48are you guys?
39:49But spirits are high
39:50with the arrival
39:51of their newly
39:52crowned captain.
39:53Before you enter
39:54the whare,
39:54we have a little gift
39:56to welcome our
39:57kaihoutu
39:58in the manner
39:59that is deserving
39:59of the kaihoutu.
40:01And so you will
40:01never be mistaken
40:02as anything
40:03but the kaihoutu.
40:05We present to you
40:06your crown.
40:07Oh my gosh.
40:09Yay!
40:13Oh my gosh.
40:17You all right?
40:17You getting this?
40:18Hey?
40:19That is cool.
40:21A little bit of action.
40:22Yay!
40:25This is young buck.
40:26That's cool.
40:28Coming to our place.
40:29Thank you, team.
40:30What a lovely team
40:31I've got, eh?
40:31I wonder if spirits
40:33are as high
40:34over the hill.
40:35We did it!
40:38Oh, two, four!
40:39Yeah!
40:41I guess so.
40:42Good job.
40:43Yes.
40:44To come away
40:44with a win,
40:45the team is just
40:46absolutely pumped.
40:47We feel so good.
40:48And the best thing
40:49to come of that
40:50is that we've got
40:51a fishing rod
40:52and dive kit
40:52for Louie
40:53to go get us
40:54some kaihoutu.
40:55And we've got a knife!
40:57Yeah!
40:59We can feel it,
41:00we can actually
41:01eat them!
41:03And then I realise,
41:05ultimately,
41:06I've got to make
41:07a really big decision.
41:10First thing I have
41:11to do is do this.
41:12This is crazy.
41:14Who's the strongest
41:15in our team
41:15that we want to put up?
41:21It is absolute tumbleweeds.
41:24Everyone's looking
41:25at their feet.
41:28Nobody wants to leave,
41:29including myself.
41:31It's so hard.
41:32Everyone's strong.
41:33Does anyone feel
41:34confident with puzzles?
41:40Do you know what
41:41I'm scared of most?
41:42I'm really scared
41:43that I'm going to
41:45hold them back
41:46because they've got
41:47this lame duck
41:48that they're having
41:48to sort of carry
41:49through everything.
41:50I don't want that
41:51to happen.
41:51I don't want them
41:52to be held back.
41:53I feel very strongly
41:55about this team
41:56and I just want
41:57everyone to go
41:58all the way.
41:59And do we want
42:00to sacrifice one of us?
42:01And if we do,
42:02I fully understand
42:03that it should be me
42:04because I'm injured.
42:05It looks like the captain's
42:07love buzz
42:08hasn't lasted long
42:09at either camp.
42:10The vibes are low.
42:14All of us are pretty stressed
42:15because we don't know
42:17who's going to go up
42:17for elimination.
42:19Who do we think
42:19is going up tonight?
42:20Like, if we were to guess,
42:22do you think
42:22that there's someone that...
42:24Well, it's Portia
42:25deciding, right?
42:26Yeah.
42:26But, I mean,
42:27there's so many
42:28different things
42:29we'll probably...
42:30It's so nerve-wracking.
42:31I don't know
42:32what Portia's
42:33thinking over there.
42:34I don't know
42:35if they're looking
42:36over at all of us.
42:37I don't know
42:37if they would think
42:38of me as a threat.
42:40Oh, I'd be honoured
42:41if you did.
42:42I'd be bragging
42:43for years to come.
42:45I'm worried.
42:46Like, I feel like
42:46Portia might be
42:47like a girl's girl.
42:48Like, have all the,
42:49like, wahine's back.
42:50Or they want to
42:51take out the strongest.
42:54Do you reckon?
42:58I feel like
42:58I may have,
43:00despite my efforts,
43:01put a target
43:02on my back.
43:03Vinny, how are you
43:03feeling, bro?
43:06You know,
43:07not the best,
43:07to be honest.
43:09A part of me felt
43:11really, really
43:12responsible
43:13that we had lost.
43:15Vinny, you were the man.
43:17Yeah.
43:17Yeah, Vinny.
43:19Very good.
43:20Thank you, Vinny.
43:21I told you.
43:21Real good.
43:23I really wanted
43:24to encourage Vinny
43:24because he's a sensitive guy.
43:26And I could see
43:27right off the bat
43:28he was really upset.
43:30I can honestly say,
43:31put your hand up
43:32if you think
43:32you would have done
43:32a better job.
43:34No.
43:34No, no, no, no.
43:35So there's your answer
43:36because none of us
43:37would have done
43:37a better job.
43:38So don't you worry
43:39about that.
43:40They would have won
43:40earlier.
43:42Yeah.
43:42Yeah, I mean that.
43:43I actually mean that.
43:44Simon,
43:46he's a lovely,
43:47lovely man.
43:48We're all extremely
43:49grateful to have him.
43:50Thank you, Vinny.
43:51No, I mean it.
43:52Otherwise,
43:52you're just too hard
43:53to give this help.
43:54I actually crossed paths
43:56with Simon
43:56about 20 or so years ago.
43:59It really played a part
44:01in, you know,
44:02completely changing my life.
44:05And maybe this is
44:06my only chance
44:07to tell him.
44:08I used to go
44:08to this youth group,
44:10just in New Brighton.
44:11Yep.
44:11I would have been
44:12about 14.
44:13I was probably
44:14at my noughtiest.
44:17It's a bad,
44:19I gave my mum
44:20a headache.
44:21You came in
44:22and you pointed
44:22straight to me.
44:24Really?
44:24You told me to come up
44:25because you said
44:26that God was telling you
44:28that I would be
44:29a big influence one day.
44:31And, you know,
44:32I never grew up
44:34with a father.
44:35I never had another man
44:37giving that confidence
44:40or belief in myself.
44:42but you really
44:45played a part in that.
44:47And I can't,
44:49I really can't
44:50thank you enough,
44:51man, honestly.
44:52And I just had to
44:53share this with you
44:53no matter what happens.
44:55That's, look, honestly,
44:57you don't know
44:58how much that means
44:59because that's why
44:59I went to those youth groups
45:00and spoke because
45:01I wondered,
45:02can I make a difference?
45:03And that's what I wanted.
45:04I'll tell you right now,
45:05you made a fucking difference.
45:07Oh, mate.
45:09You know, who knows
45:10where I would have gone
45:11without, you know,
45:13that little bit of support
45:14there from another dude.
45:16Yeah.
45:17I hope you don't go now.
45:19You've got a lot
45:20of talking to them.
45:21No, no, no, no.
45:22Well, guys,
45:23I'm sorry to say
45:24somebody is going home
45:26and it's time to find out
45:28who that might be.
45:34I want to be sick,
45:36to be absolutely honest.
45:38I don't know anybody.
45:40I haven't seen anything.
45:41And I have to make this decision.
45:43Like, my hands are shaking for it.
45:46I honestly have not yet.
45:48My heart is breaking right now
45:50that I have to have someone
45:52eliminated today.
46:00Next time.
46:03Tonight, one of you
46:04will be the first to fall.
46:06And I have to make this decision.
46:07Like, my hands are shaking for it.
46:09A shocking elimination.
46:11A perplexing face-off.
46:13Stand back.
46:17I think we made the puzzle
46:19too hard this time.
46:20I look down this camera right now.
46:22And a celebrity treasure island first.
46:25Love you, Jenny.
46:26I might buy a ring suit.
46:28I might find it.
46:28I don't know it.
46:29I don't know.
46:29I'll be like it here now.
46:29We will grab,
