00:01Previously on Celebrity Treasure Island.
00:03Will you be my ally?
00:05This is why we're here.
00:06Alliances were born.
00:08I feel like it would be smart to try and rope Ben into it.
00:11And an unusual face-off result.
00:13We've got a draw?
00:15Simon, who from Takapu will be going up tonight?
00:17Lead.
00:17Lead to a strategic plan.
00:19Don't love your teammate getting tossed into elimination?
00:22Switch them out for someone else.
00:24Zion takes out this challenge.
00:26Yes!
00:26That saw Kahu saying goodbye once more.
00:31Zion, I think he's just revealed to all of us how strong of a player he is.
01:11Other may not have a player.
01:13What's your favorite with Columatic Station?
01:19What doesn't he do instead of a group ofor Poladaanians?
01:22Only an eagle is a happy symbol for a misery.
01:23Eden is a bloodless physician...
01:43It's day six on Celebrity Treasure Island, and usually about now I'd be making jokes
01:49about rice and beans, or teasing Alliance chats. But not today, because in just a few
01:56hours something will happen that'll turn this entire game on its head.
02:03I don't know what this means. I'm racking my brain thinking about all the episodes I've
02:09watched and the seasons I've watched and I've never seen this.
02:13But I'm getting ahead of myself. Let's start with the rice and beans.
02:18Or trying to avoid rice and beans.
02:23Not when you're all f***ing living on rice.
02:26And of course we can't forget about making new friends.
02:29Did you just do like fitness training?
02:32Friends that we may have to say goodbye to. Sorry I'm getting ahead of myself again.
02:38I'll cool my jets. Let's just do the episode.
02:41Or did you just go for long runs kind of stuff?
02:44The long running sort of, they were phasing it out.
02:46It's been really nice spending time with Mata Frank. I've adopted him as uncle, hearing
02:51his rugby stories, stories about him and his whanau. It's been really nice to connect with
02:57such an amazing legend of New Zealand's rugby, of New Zealand history.
03:02How good was Zion last night? Oh man. He's confident but he doesn't have a lot of self confidence, you
03:09know.
03:09When you don't believe in yourself, it can make life a whole lot more difficult. He's come in and I
03:15wouldn't say he's timid but he was reasonably quiet. But man, being here has done wonders for him as a
03:22person.
03:23I think his problem too, he was intimidated by Vinny. Now that Vinny's gone, it kind of allows
03:28us to really start picking them off. The more Takapu people we can get to the merger will be really,
03:34really great.
03:34Yeah, exactly. That's got to be the aim.
03:35While the athletes plan the demise of Kahu, someone else is in need of a confidence boost.
03:40I just really appreciate you going out in my place last night. And I just felt really guilty that there
03:46was a potential that you could be going home instead of me.
03:49Something that I wasn't expecting was to like feel everything so intensely. I'm just trying to remind myself to breathe
03:55and remind myself it's all part of it.
03:58I'm just trying to figure out a way in which I get to the Elims and not be like, and
04:02instead be like, I'm more ready for it.
04:05Liv and I do have a brother-sister relationship. We both said from day one that, you know,
04:09it's the little things that worry us. We can take comfort in each other feeling like that and we can
04:14help each other through it.
04:15I think what helps is if you find something that you go, oh my, you know, this is me.
04:20Yeah. Put your hand up and just own it. Yeah.
04:22Because that will give you heaps of confidence. Yeah.
04:24I reckon people underestimate her. When it comes down to clues and figuring things out, she can go very, very
04:29far.
04:30Your time will come. You're going to beat him. You're going to beat him at that.
04:33Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:35I feel like this other game.
04:38Left, left. Right, right. Oh, right over to Kahu.
04:45I actually heard you sleep talking. Then I heard Nix say, do you want to go and get some kina?
04:51Yeah, like just as the sun was coming up, I get down there and then as I'm walking in the
04:56dark, I'm thinking, oh, I'm getting scared.
05:01First time in my life, I actually did a karakia.
05:05I just was praying that, you know, all I want is some breakfast.
05:11Tangaroa, god of the ocean, I'm hungry.
05:17Don't knock me down with a wave. Don't get an octopus on my arm.
05:23I'm just a harmless girl looking for breakfast.
05:27I'm just a girl standing in front of the sea asking her to love her.
05:31Yeah.
05:32Nix hasn't seen Notting Hill clearly.
05:35That was a killer line.
05:35Oh, my gosh.
05:38Oh, come on, Nix. It's a classic.
05:40Sorry, guys. Sorry, guys.
05:42I'm just a TV host standing in front of a bunch of celebrities asking them to.
05:50Get in here, you lot.
05:57Oh, it's a race.
05:59I look forward to charity challenges.
06:01And not just for the opportunity to win something.
06:03You know they're going to be fun.
06:05Kia ora, Team Takapu.
06:06Welcome to today's charity challenge where you guys will duke it out to win that $5,000 for your worthy
06:12cause.
06:13The gang's all still here, which means you guys have been on quite the run.
06:18Liv, what do you put that down to?
06:19Currently, our main goal is to bring everyone home.
06:22And so we feel really unified.
06:24And I think that's an important reason as to why we're all still here.
06:28What would you say are the roles within the team?
06:31Like, is there a mum and dad?
06:32Is there auntie?
06:33Is there uncle?
06:34Go on, Dad.
06:35Mum and Dad.
06:36We've got our muscle up.
06:39All right.
06:40Should we give it a nudge?
06:41Yes.
06:41For this one, you'll be all sporting a very stylish Hessian sack.
06:46Ooh.
06:46On go, you'll have three minutes to collect as many balls as possible and shove them into
06:51your sacks.
06:52The small balls will be worth five points and the large balls will be worth ten.
06:57But look out for those red balls because they're bad news.
07:00They'll cost you points.
07:02However, you could strategically place them into someone else's sack if you catch my drift.
07:08We'll play this one in rounds and the winners will go head to head in a final.
07:12All right, who's ready to go balls to the wall?
07:15Because it's time to sack up.
07:16It's ball time, baby.
07:20All right, our first round, Zion versus two rugby players.
07:25What am I supposed to do?
07:27Go!
07:28Frank's strategically grabbing those big balls.
07:31Here comes Portia.
07:33Oh, she's chasing Frank.
07:35That is terrifying.
07:38Zion!
07:39Trying to stitch Frank up.
07:41Here comes Portia from behind.
07:43Zion, how can I pick on him?
07:46Shall we just have some fun with Zion?
07:48I don't think I've done bad stories about them.
07:50I've never criticized them whatsoever.
07:58I think that's that killer instinct that they both have playing at the highest level.
08:04Target the weak guy and run him over.
08:07It's all over. Stop the club.
08:12I know how Polly feels now.
08:14See you soon.
08:18All right, round two.
08:19We got Louie versus Ben versus Ria versus the human wrecking ball.
08:25Les Parker.
08:28Round of four makes it a little more tight within that circle.
08:33My strategy is just stick to my own.
08:35Get as many balls as I can.
08:37Everyone, focus.
08:38Gathering.
08:40Stay away.
08:41Let me clean my balls.
08:44Everything's fun.
08:45That seems like a Christmas family game.
08:47Is that all of them?
08:48She just start trying to ram the red ball in anywhere we can.
08:52No!
08:53No!
08:54No!
08:54Run away!
08:55Stop helping!
08:57Oh, she's doing!
08:58No!
08:59No!
09:00No!
09:00No, this is sad.
09:01Take a look.
09:02Take a look.
09:03Run!
09:03I'm going to stop you there.
09:09All right, finals time.
09:11Our winner from round one, Frank.
09:15Woo!
09:18We'll be going head to head with our winner from round two, Louie.
09:24It feels like I'm versing my uncle.
09:27I'm going to give him my best snatch, and I know he would want me to.
09:31Go!
09:32Come on, guys!
09:34Different strategies could come into play.
09:37Frank gathering like his life depends on it.
09:39So's Louie.
09:40Fast this game, fast this game, fast this game.
09:42$5,000 on the line!
09:44I'm trying to hold it, and I'm trying to get away from him,
09:46and we're also trying to fill things up.
09:48You look around, and there's nothing left but red balls.
09:50Not the red ones, Frank!
09:51All right, here we go.
09:53Oh, now they try and duke it out.
09:56Oh, no!
09:57I'm going to knock this guy over.
10:00Frank trying to get away from Louie.
10:02He goes down.
10:03It's strategy.
10:04He was trying to flip one, so I thought the only way he can stop that is to try and
10:08pull him down.
10:09And then he fell on top of me, and I'm thinking, you know, he's a big man.
10:14Louie sits on, Frank!
10:16I'll tell all my mokopuna at the time, I bumped off an all-black legend.
10:23Frank's won at the end! That's it, all over!
10:27Let's talk scores.
10:29One of you scored 260 points.
10:34The other a whopping 350 points.
10:40Wow.
10:42With back-to-back charity challenge wins, it's Louie Davis!
10:49$10,000 for a community organisation like Te Oroho will go a long way.
10:54They help rangatahi achieve all their aspirations, so they have a fair crack.
10:59My old man, he grew up without a dad, and they made a massive difference in his life,
11:03and because of them, I got to have an awesome dad.
11:06I appreciate you sharing that with us. Amazing work, mate. Another 5k going to those guys. Well done.
11:14But the fun time is over.
11:17It's time to head back to your kainga, because that team face-off is just around the corner.
11:21We'll see you there. See you guys. Off you go. Get out of here.
11:27Going into this next team face-off, we have eliminated three of team kahu, so we're feeling
11:34strong. But, as with everything on Treasure Island, we have no idea what is coming up.
11:49I know you said the other day that you didn't feel like we should have an alliance or anything,
11:55but I feel like we're getting to that point. I guess I am feeling nervous about approaching Ben,
12:01just because he had said the other day when it kind of came up in conversation.
12:05I personally wouldn't feel any more uncomfortable if I had to proverbially throw you under the bus
12:12than I would with any other member of our team. I guess the risks are he's not keen,
12:18and then we've showed our cards to him. So Portia and I have teamed up,
12:26and wondering if you wanted to as well. So what does that mean exactly?
12:30Well, we just try and protect each other from... From elimination, as long as you can.
12:34Yeah. Just until the merger. Okay, so you're just
12:38inviting me to come into a nanny-type situation.
12:44That's not really instilling a lot of faith. I don't know that he's feeling any sort of particular
12:50alliance with me. I'm not saying yes, but I'm not saying no. Okay.
12:56Well, that's just on the table, so let us know somehow. I don't know.
13:02Okay. You know, it's obvious that Portia is a real threat in this competition.
13:06So, I don't know. We'll have to wait and see. I don't know. I don't know where his head's at.
13:10All right. Thank you very much. While Ben may not know where his head's at,
13:16Zion's is firmly in the game.
13:21Advantage block. Someone trying to get clever, use this card to block their advantage.
13:27When the other team plays their advantage, cancels that out. It's very powerful.
13:32The game's starting to get real, eh? Yeah.
13:34Yeah. You can certainly feel it. The emotions are higher. The stakes are higher.
13:37Yeah. The stakes are even higher when you're down two players. Hey, Simon.
13:42Crazy. You know, I did wake up this morning thinking about that. So, there's five of us now
13:46and seven of them. We are seriously going to have to talk now. You know how this show works.
13:52I'm the kind of guy that will lead by democracy and I don't want to form alliances. But I certainly
13:58don't want to force anybody to do anything. If you guys want to, that's up to you. You don't need
14:03to
14:03tell me because I get that there's part of the component of that. But I also feel like,
14:07are we as good as our word? And we don't do that. We actually breathe and live what we sort
14:12of say we
14:12do, which is it's kind of a special bond. I want to see all of us in the top five.
14:18Well, that's what I was just about to say. Do we stick together when the team merges or we go
14:23down
14:23together? Yeah. I like that. It feels yuck. It feels so yuck having to go behind you guys' backs.
14:29I told myself that I would come into this game fun and not revealing how much deception and how much
14:37strategy actually exists in here. Are we all committed to doing that? So, we're actually saying
14:41we're not going to do alliances? No. This is our alliance. This is the alliance. We're doing one
14:46alliance. Top five. And it's just a good feeling to know that none of that deception is going to be
14:50towards my own team and that we've got a target. I've been just hanging out in the background,
14:55analysing everything that's been happening throughout this whole game. Well, with that in mind,
14:59we have to win these challenges. That's how we're going to get all five. We can't lose a team challenge.
15:05No. Whenever we go up for the challenges, those are the moments that I can attack.
15:10We need more information about how the other team is working and how we can pick that apart
15:14and use that to our advantage.
15:19And now for something completely different. So, I've been doing a lot of thinking about this
15:27alliance. Jokes, it's another alliance chat. We're in Portia. I am very happy to say that I accept
15:34that offer. Awesome. So, going forward, we will look out for one another. There is definitely a benefit
15:39of having Ben in the alliance. He's Kaiho too. He can make decisions. If either of you end up getting
15:45taken to the other team, to team Kahu, as long as I retain the captaincy, I will not put that
15:52person
15:53up for elimination. Three, two, one. We can get to the merger and I'd back myself to take Ben out,
16:01if it comes today. We have had a hard few days, but we're in this together and we're going to
16:14do
16:14everything we can to come home with a win today. I know this challenge. I loved watching this challenge.
16:22So, I'm real keen to give this a go. I'm internally hyping myself up, hoping that I can be a
16:31good and
16:32worthy member of the team. No mai haere mai and welcome back guys to another team face-off. Kahu,
16:39I'd like to know, day six in this game, what's the most interesting thing you've learned about your
16:43fellow teammates? I don't have to say it's Simon's beauty regime. His toiletry kit is more like diverse
16:50than mine. How many steps, Simon? Look, I've got a few steps, Brie, but it's probably the nose
16:56little trimmers and the tweezers and the... Are you waxing top to bottom? I shave, I don't wax, Brie.
17:03Very aerodynamic of you, Simon. How about you, Tuckfu? That was a great bit, by the way. You guys,
17:08you guys have to match that. We know each other's poo routines. I guess that's probably the most exciting
17:14part about our team. We've kind of like singed up. We poo in a rhythm. It's part of the cycle
17:19of nature.
17:20I wish I didn't ask. Yeah, we don't know what he's talking about either.
17:23Well, on the back of that, let's get into the weddle.
17:29Today's challenge is an all-out battle of strength. Each team will push the platform to the other end,
17:35while the opposing team tries to push it in the opposite direction. We'll be playing in rounds,
17:41match-ups of my choosing. 3v3 women, 2v2 men and so on. First team to win four rounds takes out
17:47the game.
17:48Okay, today is not the day that I prove myself as a really worthy member of the team.
17:54I'm so keen to get amongst it. I want a one-on-one. I don't really care with who,
17:58I want a one-on-one with someone. Now, to even things up,
18:02you'll be sitting out two males. I'm excited because I can't sit out because I sat out yesterday
18:09and there's not a single person that they can put on the other side that I won't roll that thing
18:14over.
18:17Brute strength isn't the only thing that brings home the win. The kaihotu of the winning team
18:23will get to choose one person from the opposing team to battle their own kaihotu
18:27in tonight's captain's coup. Tonight, nobody's going home.
18:34Now, this is a silly question, but who's hungry?
18:37Oh, my God.
18:38Very silly.
18:39Well, if you win today, I don't think you're going to be because I've got meat, meat,
18:44a little bit of salad bread, but mainly meat.
18:47Hold his up back.
18:49A barbecue to feed the whole whānau.
18:52All right, who thinks that's worth playing for?
18:54Yes!
18:55Yay!
18:56Then let's get into it.
18:57Woo! Woo!
19:00All right, for takapu, we have Ria, Portia, Liv, Fakahu.
19:04We have next, Georgia, Theo.
19:06Someone could argue that Vinny was the muscle of our team.
19:11Class, kawarita!
19:13Aye.
19:14But we've got three strong wahine on here.
19:17Three, two, one.
19:21We are not to be messed with.
19:23Timata!
19:27Kawarita!
19:28Aye.
19:29Three, two, one.
19:32Timata!
19:34We're locked in.
19:36You don't feel a single move, and I'm like, ooh, damn.
19:39No, no, no, we got this.
19:41Here come the girls from Kahu, though.
19:45Get takapu, hold it.
19:46They're going, they're going, they're gone.
19:48Come on, Kahu!
19:50Get the first point!
19:51Yes!
19:54Winner, winner, chicken dinner.
19:58Nice work, girls.
20:00First point on the board.
20:02That feels good.
20:03Right, for Kahu, we have David and Simon.
20:06For takapu, we have Louis and Ben.
20:09I've blown my calf muscle.
20:10I've done this one seven times, this one four times.
20:13But I don't want to tell the team, because then they might have to do it all on their own.
20:17So I'm going to do it.
20:19Players, kawarita!
20:20I used to be an Olympic weightlifter.
20:21I think I might actually be able to, like, finally show some of my strengths in this game.
20:27Three, two, one, team up off!
20:31Takapu get a super long start!
20:33For some reason, I think David is a powerlifter in his past life.
20:37But I'm still looking at him like, I'm going to roll you over.
20:41Can David and Simon hold them up?
20:44They can't!
20:46Takapu take out a point!
20:47We've got one apiece!
20:48I'm so gassed.
20:50I've just given everything that I can for this challenge.
20:52So I'm really quite scared.
20:55All right.
20:56Bree, do you want to pick a match up?
20:58David, I have not thought about this.
21:00This is what I want.
21:02Kaihotu versus OG Kaihotu.
21:05Simon versus Portia.
21:08Let's go, baby!
21:09Let's go!
21:11I'm excited.
21:13This is something that I was waiting for.
21:15Somewhere till I express my power.
21:18Okay, Bree.
21:20Oh, man.
21:21This is going to be so fun.
21:23Three, two, one, team up off!
21:28We're going to stand up!
21:30We've got the two mystery guests going back and forth!
21:33Battle's on, man.
21:35Who will take this out?
21:37Y'all know this is going to make the promo.
21:40I've got nothing to lose.
21:41If I beat Porsche, then I've beaten one of the greatest rugby players of all time.
21:46Porsche, I think, will really be gutted if she doesn't beat me.
21:49I know it.
21:50Takapu at one point!
21:51Kahu at one point!
21:52Who can get the second?
21:57This is going to annoy me for the rest of my life if he beats me.
22:00I can't let this man beat me!
22:02Go, boys!
22:03Go, boys!
22:04Go!
22:05Go!
22:06Go!
22:06Go, Sam!
22:07Who will get tired fast?
22:09Who will raise that pin?
22:15Porsche!
22:16Has she taken Simon?
22:19Oh, no!
22:20Oh, no!
22:21I felt Simon just pull away, and instantly he looks and he's in pain.
22:27I'm worried about Simon now.
22:30Oh, oh!
22:31You all right, Simon?
22:32Yeah, all good.
22:34No, I'm not actually.
22:35It's definitely torn.
22:37That's all right.
22:39Get that at 58.
22:41As soon as I launched, I just felt my calf go.
22:44I've done it so many times, I know exactly the feeling.
22:46I've definitely torn it.
22:48Oh, what?
22:49Yeah, yeah.
22:50Have you done it before?
22:51Yeah.
22:52So I don't think there's anything you're going to be able to do.
22:55I would have really loved to do that proper, because I think it would have been actually
22:59quite a good contest.
23:00I think we would have been like two balls butting heads for a long time.
23:03That was awesome.
23:04It was a pleasure to go against you.
23:06I just feel so bad.
23:09I just wanted to beat him, but I never wanted to hurt him in that way.
23:14Simon, sorry that happened to you, mate.
23:16How are you feeling?
23:17Well, I just gutted because I've always had weak calves, so as soon as I saw the push,
23:22I just had a gut feel my calf was going to go.
23:25But these guys still got a job to do.
23:28Awesome, Simon.
23:29All right, quick recap.
23:31We've got two points to Takapu, one point to Kahu.
23:34We're going to do a 2v2 mixed.
23:36Step on up, please.
23:39All right, for Takapu, we have Ben and Ria.
23:42For Kahu, we have Nyx and David.
23:44Take the weight.
23:46Three, two, one, Timotha!
23:50Straight back to a standoff.
23:52Can Kahu even these points up?
23:54They get a big lurch.
23:55It's a real good battle, and I can tell Ben does not want to give in.
23:59Can they hold it?
24:00Ben's feet slipping, can he get his grip back?
24:03I tell you what, Nyx is a powerhouse, and David's also there.
24:09Kahu pushing that!
24:10They steamroll over us.
24:13Like we're not even there.
24:15I channeled that weightlifting.
24:19I haven't channeled that energy in a really long time.
24:22Kahu, take their second point!
24:26I'm thinking, okay, we got this.
24:29Kahu 2, Takapu 2.
24:31Next up, we're going 1v1, female.
24:34Georgia up against Liv.
24:36Wrecking ball!
24:37I don't know if Georgia knows who she's up against.
24:40The prospect of the challenge is daunting,
24:43but knowing I'm doing it against Georgia gives me a little bit of ease.
24:46Not because I think that I can take her out,
24:48but just because she seems like a really nice person.
24:52Players, are you ready?
24:54Yeah, I...
24:55Three, two, one, Timotha!
24:59Georgia gets an early lead in the game.
25:02You know when a gust of wind is just like...
25:05Liv, fighting with all she's got!
25:07You just have to give in to it.
25:09Can she hold it?
25:10No, she can't.
25:12Kahu, take another point.
25:14We've got three to two.
25:16This moment with Simon's just happened.
25:18We're all feeling that, but then also, like, we have to keep winning.
25:22We've got to, like, band together as a team and try and just push through.
25:27All right, we've got three points, Kahu.
25:30Two Fatakapu.
25:32This is match point.
25:33Fatakapu, we have Ria, Louis, Portia, Fakahu.
25:37We have Piao, David, Nix.
25:40Me and Nix get caught up.
25:41Last time, she beat me.
25:44This one, I'm...
25:46I'm taking her out.
25:47It's me this time.
25:50Three, two, one, Timotha!
25:56I was so ready for this challenge.
25:58I start pushing, and as I placed one of my legs down...
26:01Ah! Ah!
26:06I heard a noise that I'd definitely heard before.
26:11Something had snapped.
26:15You all right, David?
26:25I'm feeling pretty gutted.
26:27I didn't want to let down the rest of my team.
26:31I was ready to give it my all.
26:32It just really sucks that it ended up like this.
26:36This couldn't be going any worse for Team Kahu.
26:38David and Simon are sat side by side, each have a leg taped up.
26:43What is happening here?
26:45All right, teams, we're going to call this one here.
26:47We're going to call it a draw.
26:49David, Simon, stay where you are.
26:50We'll get medics to come and check you out.
26:52Everyone else, back to your kainga.
26:53We're going to call it a draw.
27:17Kahu's been taking a beating.
27:21We just get something, and then it's, oh!
27:26Just like the waves.
27:28We just get up, and then they crash.
27:33There's so many unanswered questions, and I'm in absolute shock.
27:39I'm just processing once again what this means for our team.
27:44I can't believe it's just us. Like, what if they end up going home?
27:48What's going to happen with us?
27:51The ideal outcome would be for our team to come back and still be,
27:55Hey, actually, it was nothing. I just got a cramp.
28:02But I've got to be realistic.
28:04As much as I want them here with us, I would prefer them to be somewhere comfortable being looked after.
28:11Of course, I would rather that.
28:14Honestly, like, I'm racking my brain thinking about all the episodes I've watched and the seasons I've watched,
28:19and I've never seen this.
28:21I feel like we're just really getting the hits after one or the other.
28:23We're getting hammered.
28:25I can't.
28:26But we're not going down without a fight.
28:29No.
28:30Regardless of what happens, if we do some sort of merge or swap or something,
28:34I think we're still...
28:35It's us three to the core.
28:37Yeah.
28:38Let's get our togs on.
28:39Go cleanse in the water.
28:42I wonder if Takabu are also feeling the need for a cleansing swim.
28:49As soon as David's calf went, like, no joy, no fun in the game, I was like, this sucks.
28:56Yeah.
28:57Who wants to win that way?
28:58You want to beat people because you beat them.
29:00You beat them with strategy. You beat them with fair play.
29:04Not because of an accident.
29:06They have three players that can play the game now.
29:10Three players that aren't injured.
29:12We have seven.
29:13It feels crazy to be playing seven versus three.
29:17You can't even come up with scenarios because it's supposed to be a captain's coup.
29:21A car whose captain is injured.
29:23What's going to happen next?
29:25I think there's a lot of twisting turns coming tonight.
29:28Yeah.
29:29We're all really, really lost.
29:32I know a thing or two about Simon's determination and his drive.
29:36I went up against him in 2015's Dancing with the Stars.
29:39He took that out.
29:40We're just making the assumption that David and Simon are both going to leave.
29:44Holly could hardly walk.
29:45She stayed until she was eliminated.
29:47You never know.
29:48Going into this captain's coup, I will be more surprised if Simon doesn't turn up.
29:55I want them to stay.
29:56I want them to stay too.
29:57Because I kind of feel like even though they're on the opposing team we're all,
30:00they're all in this together.
30:02Well Ben, this time the power is out of your hands.
30:07I'm the one with all the answers, so get on down here.
30:13There's my girls.
30:14The girls.
30:16Come on in.
30:21We noticed that Simon and David aren't there.
30:24That makes me really nervous.
30:28Oh my God, if it is me, Georgia, T against all these takapu, let's go.
30:38Tēnā koutou i tēnā ahi ahi.
30:40And welcome back everyone to a very different captain's coup.
30:45After receiving medical attention,
30:49Simon and David had to be withdrawn from the game.
30:53They were obviously devastated, but they're okay.
30:57Simon made a profound impact on me.
31:01Simon.
31:02I'm Georgia. Nice to meet you, Georgia.
31:04We present to you your crown.
31:07I know that it's not goodbye,
31:10and I'm sure we will stay connected in the outside world.
31:14Come on, we're going for a team swim.
31:16Since I lost my wife,
31:20I've really struggled.
31:23Didn't want to do this because I'm not really
31:26up for getting naked in front of seven random celebrities.
31:33But being here is just an extraordinary experience.
31:36I've also met some incredible people with incredible backstories,
31:40and that's what I've always grown up believing.
31:43Everybody's got a story to tell.
31:44I'm just giving her everything that I've got.
31:48You came in and you pointed straight to me.
31:51You said that I would be a big influence one day.
31:54This that Vinnie gave me, that was such a precious moment,
31:58and it was a moment that was bigger than the game.
32:00How lucky are we to actually take part in a show like this?
32:06I'm proud of myself and I'm grateful to my kids,
32:08if you're watching my grandkids, for getting me to do it.
32:13Now, get me off this while I do.
32:17Are you in love at the moment?
32:19I didn't even get my moment like the other guys.
32:24You know how jealous I was of everyone else crying?
32:27Everyone else, I was, I wanted that moment too,
32:30and I don't even get it.
32:31Don't even go for the way to say it.
32:33Don't even go for the way to say it.
32:35I think coming here originally, I just wanted to go on a holiday,
32:39chill out, play some games, win some money for my charity.
32:44But look at this!
32:46I've really made some lifelong friends.
32:48Let's go shower!
32:50I didn't realise how life-changing this show was going to be for me.
32:54Normally when I'm put in those situations,
32:55I'm thinking about everything else.
32:57What do people think about me?
32:59What kind of work have I got coming up?
33:01Where am I going to go next?
33:02What kind of work have I got to go next?
33:03But this time was different.
33:05This time, I actually got to be present
33:09and enjoy the moment.
33:11And it just made me really appreciate my life
33:14and appreciate the people around me.
33:16Love you Jenny!
33:19I might buy a ring soon!
33:22Team Kahu, you know what the strategy is.
33:25Go hard, be strategic and get Team Blue.
33:29Before Simon left, he wanted me to hand over his captaincy
33:33to one of his remaining team members.
33:36Nyx, you are the new Kaihotu of your team.
33:42Why did he do that?
33:53Nyx, how does that feel that Simon wanted you to take over
33:56and lead your team?
33:58It's going to make me cry.
34:00Did you guys have a connection?
34:02Yeah.
34:05We talked a lot about my kids and the struggle
34:08that I've been through to get back to them.
34:10So maybe he put me in a motherly position.
34:14I hope my kids are proud of me.
34:17And it makes me get a little bit emotional
34:19because I thought I was going to come on this show
34:22and embarrass them.
34:25I'm just proud of me for that.
34:29That they will be proud of me.
34:33Well, if it's worth anything,
34:35I think you'll be a fantastic leader for your team.
34:38Yeah.
34:39Obviously, after the events of today,
34:40it has left the teams very uneven.
34:43And we're about to shake things up.
34:47Everyone, apart from the Kaihotu,
34:49will drop their buffs into this box
34:51and we will randomly draw new teams.
34:57I'm feeling super anxious.
34:59This amazing team that we have worked so hard to build up.
35:05It's about to be smashed to bits.
35:07Once we've done that, the Kaihotu will face off against each other
35:11in a head-to-head battle for a game-changing advantage.
35:15Trust me when I say this one is huge.
35:20I feel like I've been punched in the gut.
35:23Things are not going to be the same again.
35:25I could be moving to Kaihotu, or I could be losing teammates that I really love.
35:31This has changed the game completely.
35:42All right, how this is going to work, I'll ask you to come up one at a time,
35:46and I'll randomly select you a new buff, and that will be your new team.
35:50Let's kick things off with Louie. Come on down.
35:55Oh, my God, what if I'm captain, and I've got a team full of takapu
36:00that absolutely want to take me out?
36:09Kahu, go join your new team.
36:13I was with all my mates. We were winning.
36:16We had so much fun together, and when I held the orange in my hand,
36:23I felt like that had ended for me.
36:29Kahu, go rejoin your team.
36:32Thank God I've got one of my mates with me.
36:39You're going home.
36:43Nothing personal.
36:45Georgia, come on down.
36:47I just want to stay.
36:49I've had so much change.
36:50I just want there to be one day of having my people that are left.
37:06Takapu's your new team.
37:07I'm feeling really overwhelmed and quite alone, to be honest.
37:15What does this mean for me in this game?
37:23Kahu, go join your team.
37:36I'm anxious about what this next chapter is going to look like, you know?
37:44Kahu, mate, go join your new team.
37:50Zion gives off some really cool energy, and we've seen him in the elimination ring,
37:54so I think he's a weapon.
37:59I'm not feeling great.
37:59Losing big players like that, it's going to cause huge havoc in our team, so I'm not feeling great.
38:06As there is only blue buffs remaining, Liv, Portia, you'll stay put.
38:11Losing Zion, Ria and Louis, that's pretty much half our team.
38:17Half our whanau is gone, and your whanau is your base, your support system.
38:21Our base is gone, and our family's falling apart.
38:26Portia, this has obviously made you quite emotional.
38:31We knew it was going to get to this at some point, but I think it was just such a
38:34shock.
38:36And do you feel like in this game, your one bit of comfort is your team that you're building these
38:40bonds with,
38:41and obviously to have that pulled out from underneath you is a huge change?
38:46Yeah, absolutely.
38:47And it's nothing about the other team or anything like that, it's just you had your comfort.
38:54Georgia, I also just want to acknowledge that it's really tough for you. How are you feeling?
38:59It feels like I've lost my whole team at once, which is hard.
39:03I know it's tough, and I appreciate you guys all being here and playing this game.
39:08And we're doing it for a very special reason, and that is for your charities.
39:12Totally.
39:13I want to welcome her, and I want her to feel a sense of belonging into our team.
39:17But I also feel like I've lost my whanau to another team.
39:21All right, onwards and upwards, Nyx, Ben, let's talk about what you'll be facing.
39:28This challenge is called Flat Stack.
39:33Each of you will start in the middle of a wobbly beam with a paddle in your hand.
39:37At one end will be a table containing coloured squares.
39:41At the other will be an empty platform.
39:43On go, I'll reveal a board showing you the order that you need to place those coloured squares in.
39:49You'll have 15 seconds to have a look, and then from memory, you'll need to restack your coloured squares in
39:55the correct order.
39:56At any point, you can ask me for one more look at the coloured order, but only once.
40:01The first person to restack their squares in the correct order wins.
40:05I'm looking at the obstacle.
40:08Oh, my God, I don't even get on that at the park with my kids.
40:12But I've always said, even if I'm not confident, I'm still going to get in there and give it all
40:17I got.
40:22All right, Kaihoutu versus Kaihoutu.
40:25Nyx, are you ready?
40:28She's not sure. Ben, are you ready?
40:31I think so, Bri.
40:32All right, turn around. Here we go.
40:38I'm thinking of trying to come up with some sort of rhyme to remember the order of those colours.
40:45Go!
40:51I've got a young daughter, so I've sung a lot of nursery rhymes.
40:55Nyx has more kids than I do, though.
40:57She could be better at this than I am.
40:59Nyx didn't think she'd be here this afternoon, but she's ready to give it a red hot crack.
41:06Simon knew what he was doing, and I've seen it too.
41:09I think she's got a lot more skill than she's ready to admit, and I think she's actually got this.
41:17Ben, been in this arena a couple of times now with a lot of success.
41:23I always remember the things my kids shouldn't have done.
41:29So maybe my memory's not that bad.
41:33Can I have another look, please?
41:35You want it now?
41:36Yep.
41:50Ben, using his second look early in this challenge, will it pay off, or will it come back to bite
41:57him?
41:58Nyx moving with pace now.
42:00So conflicted, because I'm like, who do I want to win?
42:07Yep, can I have a look?
42:12Nyx taking her second look, giving Ben the chance to catch up.
42:19I've only got like three left. Now it's just a race.
42:33Ben places his last square at the top. Can he get it done?
42:48Ben, with the exception of Portia, is the strongest player in this game,
42:52and we see that over and over again in the arena.
42:56Congratulations, Ben. You have won this game-changing advantage. Come and grab it.
43:00Thanks, Bri.
43:04This is big. I think this is one I'm going to have to try and keep to myself.
43:11Very tough day today, guys. But let me remind you, while you're here,
43:16to fight for your charities. So everyone, back to your kainga, rest up, and we'll see you tomorrow.
43:25It feels like I'm losing my whānau. Our family's falling apart.
43:33It's not fair. How do you win everything and then lose half your team?
43:41I'm really gutted. I love all those guys and I'm going to miss them.
43:51I'm moving over by myself to Takapu. Oh my goodness me.
43:59Don't worry, I won't be put together.
44:01Team Kahu is still fiercely going to protect each other.
44:08All your friends are gone. All we have is the game. So let's play it.
44:20Next time. It feels pretty devastating. I'm on my own.
44:27Now we've got like these wolves in the den. A huge shaker.
44:35She's never going to put Te Ao in a bad situation and she's going to protect Georgia as well.
44:40That makes us the fool, guys. Tests everyone's loyalties.
44:45She's wearing the other jersey now. We're allowed to take home that money for our chosen charities.
44:49She's leaving for me and ask them to sell.
