Celebrity Treasure Island - Season 7 - Episode 08
Transcript
00:00Previously on Celebrity Treasure Island.
00:04We're not going down without a fight.
00:07Alliances were confirmed.
00:11And new friendships blossomed.
00:13You are our whānau now.
00:16But Zion struck again.
00:18Zion!
00:19What's up bro?
00:20Before Ben came to the rescue.
00:22Mercy card.
00:23Save any player if they're eliminated.
00:25But her reprieve was short-lived.
00:27Jaden.
00:28You ever got a card?
00:28Advantage block.
00:30It was Haere Ra to a legend.
00:33Just smash the game.
00:35Enjoy every part of it.
00:36Whatever we can.
00:37I love yous all.
00:38Ka kite.
00:39Love you.
00:40Bye push.
00:58Really?
00:59Jaco.
01:04Eight.
01:06Three.
01:11Bye.
01:13Bye.
01:15Bye.
01:17Perfect.
01:18Bye.
01:19Bye.
01:19Bye.
01:22Bye.
01:47It's day eight, and somehow, carry the one plus two,
01:51we're already halfway.
01:54Exciting.
01:57But after yesterday's elimination, the vibe in Team Takapu is...
02:02It's just ups and downs, isn't it?
02:06I'm starting to feel like how Team Kahu must have felt
02:09in the first few days of this game.
02:10It is nothing but soaring highs and crashing lows.
02:16Just taking blow after blow after blow.
02:19Talk about a buzzkill, Ben.
02:22Hey, Frank, how are you feeling about Zion
02:25sending your fellow rugby legend packing?
02:28Yeah, Zion, you're never getting another interview from me, mate.
02:31TVNZ Sport, you're dead to me.
02:36It's always hard and it's very, very emotional.
02:38Yeah.
02:39You feel bad.
02:40It was a big move.
02:42Ultimately, it was a winning one for them.
02:44But, you know, there's definitely a hole this morning.
02:48You're in the driver's seat at the moment.
02:50Yeah.
02:50I guess, Kahu.
02:51We are on the back foot a little bit.
02:54We're down in numbers.
02:55We may well be the weaker team right at this point.
02:58We just carry on doing the best we can.
03:01See what happens.
03:03Yeah.
03:04It's not a great tactic, see what happens.
03:05No, I know.
03:07I've flown under the radar a little bit.
03:09I've basically got here doing nothing.
03:12But, you know, that's the game.
03:15I hate to say it, but I might have to step up.
03:18Yeah.
03:18I think it is going to be time I have to step up.
03:20Can't get by just doing the dishes, can you?
03:23I know, yeah.
03:23I can feel my knee hurting as I speak.
03:26Hopefully, your knees can keep up with your ambition, Frank.
03:30Because over at Kahu, there's plenty of spring in their step.
03:34That was a crazy night last night.
03:37Yeah.
03:37Bittersweet.
03:38I mean, it's great to survive elimination.
03:41Like, you know, you want to stay in this game as long as you can.
03:44I didn't think it would be this deep.
03:46I think these last two elimination rounds have shown people that Zion is a weapon.
03:51He just took out one of the strongest players in this game.
03:54You might even call him...
03:56Zion.
03:57The Giant Slayer.
03:58The Giant Slayer.
03:59The Giant Slayer Zion.
04:01What does it take to become the Giant Slayer?
04:04Confidence.
04:06Belief in yourself.
04:07Perseverance.
04:08Determination.
04:09Overcoming the hard times.
04:11That's quite the list.
04:13Anything else?
04:17Power of Protection.
04:19Oh, yes.
04:20That'll definitely help.
04:22You can choose two players to protect from elimination.
04:25This can include yourself.
04:27This card must be played by day 11.
04:31This could be really great for us.
04:33Louis and I, OG Takapu's, are on this team.
04:35He could choose to save either of us.
04:37He could choose to save himself.
04:39That's a powerful card.
04:41Looks like the Giant Slayer just grew even more powerful.
04:46But for right now, it's time for Team Takapu to get a bit fruity.
04:52Halewa, you lot!
04:57Whee!
04:58Quick, hurry!
04:59We're on a time limit!
05:01What do I know?
05:02Panic!
05:02Ah!
05:03Charity Challenge.
05:04These are always fun.
05:05No one's going home.
05:07All these charities are worthy causes.
05:09And it's a real pressure release for us.
05:11Ata Māori-e.
05:13And welcome, Takapu, to another charity challenge,
05:16where one of you will pocket $5,000 for your chosen charity.
05:20First up, I want to see how you're all feeling.
05:23Ben, very dramatic exit from Porsche Woodman-Wickcliffe last night.
05:28That must have been gut-wrenching, mate.
05:30It was gut-wrenching.
05:31I kind of knew in my heart what was coming,
05:33but I had to give it a go anyway.
05:35But losing Porsche is definitely a huge loss to our team.
05:38A Porsche Woodman-sized hole in our team.
05:40Yeah.
05:42We move on and we have some fun.
05:44How does that sound?
05:45It sounds amazing.
05:46I like to call this one going absolutely B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
05:51On go, you'll race out to a bucket filled with water,
05:54dunking your head in to retrieve a banana,
05:58using only your mouth.
06:01Once you have your banana, you'll then need to unpeel it
06:03and chow it down as fast as possible.
06:06And yes, you'll also be doing this part without your hands.
06:11What?
06:13What?
06:14The person who gets their banana down the fastest wins.
06:17I love bananas and I eat heaps of them.
06:20So whatever the challenge might bring, hopefully I can sneak a banana.
06:26We'll play this one in rounds with our winners moving on to a final where we'll shake things up a
06:31little bit.
06:32Who's ready to go absolutely bananas?
06:34Yay!
06:38All right, the banana boys are up first.
06:41Frank versus Ben, are you ready?
06:44It is a very strange feeling to be competing against the great Frank Bunce in anything.
06:49Go!
06:51I slam my head in, got my eyes open, and as soon as I go near the banana, it takes
06:56off to the other side of the tank.
06:57Frank wrestling with his banana.
07:00When I get my teeth around that banana and bring it up out of the water...
07:04Ben gets his.
07:05I realise I'm ahead of the great Frank Bunce.
07:07Frank going for a full-on swim.
07:10Oh my God!
07:12It's a pain, it's a pain.
07:15Sorry.
07:18That's one way to do it.
07:20Not against the rules.
07:22This is going really, really well for me.
07:24Ben now manhandling that banana with his mouth.
07:27Giving it a little bit of a shake like a terrier with a rat in its jaws.
07:32Frank trying to use his elbow.
07:36No hands!
07:37Now I just have to inhale that banana.
07:40Ben making love to that banana.
07:43Frank Bunce is a force to be reckoned with.
07:46Even though you're in the middle of the competition, man, this banana is sweet.
07:49I've got to speed this up.
07:50He scoops it up.
07:51I need to see a clear mouth!
07:54Frank!
07:55Frank!
07:55You got this, Frank!
07:56This is that he won!
07:57Let's go!
07:58Ah!
07:58Ben!
07:59Just gets there!
08:01Moving on to the final!
08:03This is the story I'm going to tell my grandkids.
08:06I beat Frank Bunce.
08:07Even though I lost the competition, I was more than happy to eat that banana.
08:12And I walk away richer for the experience.
08:20Alright, Liv, are you ready?
08:21I'm ready!
08:22Georgia, are you ready?
08:23I'm ready.
08:24I haven't won any money for my charity yet, so I'm eternally optimistic that today is going to be the
08:30day.
08:31Now let's go!
08:32Dunk it for bananas!
08:38Georgia grabs it on the first go!
08:41I don't think I can say that I've ever done anything like this before. Ever.
08:47Since she swallowed more water than banana.
08:50But I'm feeling like today is my day.
08:54I'm like, oh yeah, I feel like I've got this, I can do this.
08:58Liv, now get to her banana!
09:00Shake your head!
09:02Oh no!
09:03Oh dear!
09:04You've got to get her from the ground!
09:06Liv goes to retrieve her banana from the ground.
09:09She's already got half in her mouth!
09:11And here comes Georgia!
09:16I need to see an empty mouth, empty mouth!
09:20Liv!
09:20Going through to the final!
09:22I'd really love to take some money home for my charity, so I'm feeling pretty gutted.
09:27That was yum!
09:31All right, finals time. Liv versus Ben.
09:35I really want to try and get some money for the aunties, so I'm going to give her everything.
09:39I did tell you we were going to shake things up.
09:42Yeah!
09:43In front of you is a balloon and a bowl of thick paste with a spiky fruit hiding somewhere inside.
09:50First person to blow up their balloon until it pops and retrieve their spiky fruit wins.
09:56Yum!
10:00I want to make it clear, I'm going to do anything for Heart Kids New Zealand.
10:04Even this.
10:11All right guys, here we go. Are you ready?
10:13Yes!
10:14Have either of you won 5k for your charity yet?
10:16Not yet.
10:17No, but I've done this more times than you can count.
10:20Oh my god!
10:22Well that is the most shocking thing we're going to hear today.
10:24We'll get that story after.
10:26Okay, $5,000 for your charity on the line. Are you ready?
10:30Yes!
10:31Go! Go, Liv!
10:33All right, they need to get that balloon and blow it up until it pops.
10:40Next to me at Liv's table, there's just an absolute circus going on.
10:46Balloon comes out of her mouth. Picks it up.
10:52Really wrestling with her balloon.
10:55Ben, almost there.
10:59Hey!
11:00Bang!
11:01My balloon goes and I'm straight in head first.
11:04Scares the crap out of Liv.
11:06She drops her balloon.
11:08Go on, Liv!
11:09My strategy is just digging with my face.
11:13Don't give up, Liv!
11:17Oh, Ben!
11:18Put it on you!
11:19Put it on your barrel!
11:21Get that spiky fruit!
11:23Gets it down!
11:25Ben!
11:25Win the 5k for his charity!
11:28Why it ain't so much grass?
11:30Liv struggled to get out of the blocks.
11:32Oh, Ben!
11:34Look at Ben's gobble!
11:40Guys, if I'm ever sad, I'm going to think about these moments.
11:44And they're going to bring me so much joy.
11:47Congratulations, mate.
11:47That is your first 5k that you've won for your charity.
11:50Thank you, Bree!
11:51Amazing!
11:52I've officially won my first charity challenge and I couldn't be prouder.
11:56I'm really, really pleased and I know that New Zealand's heart kids
11:59are going to be very proud of what they've just seen.
12:00That was for you guys.
12:03Guys, a whole lot of fun this morning.
12:05But that face off is just around the corner.
12:07So rest up.
12:08I'll see you there.
12:09That's for you.
12:10Off yous go.
12:11Get out of here!
12:12Beautiful.
12:15I'm still feeling really vulnerable being on my own at Team Takabu.
12:19I've got to start making some moves here and make them fast
12:22because I could be going home today.
12:36While some of our celebs spend their downtime playing games.
12:41Nice, Ben.
12:42Or relaxing.
12:46Others are already on the hunt for the treasure.
12:49We guarded our treasure so it could shield us from the world.
12:53It's like we need something to figure out what they're actually saying.
12:56I will take every clue I've got.
12:59What would you do if the gold was just underneath it?
13:02Sorry, T.
13:02Do you really think we would make it that easy?
13:05I don't know.
13:06It might be the extra little oomph I get and I'm done.
13:08It's these three.
13:10Chuck your bag down.
13:11For now the treasure's staying hidden.
13:14But your fellow Kahu OG Georgia is about to reveal a gem of a game plan.
13:20I don't know where you're at but I feel like the last few days have been so intense.
13:24I really need to have a proper chat with Liv today and we need to start working together
13:29because the game is changing so fast.
13:32Yesterday was my first day in Team Takabu.
13:35Yeah.
13:36And I know I said to you obviously the girls, Nyx and T.
13:40I'm Team Kahu.
13:42I'm going to do everything I can to get us as far as we can to the end.
13:45And like I feel the same with you being like let's just try and get as many Wahine as possible.
13:51Like one of us needs to win this.
13:53That would be so cool.
13:55I'm excited to have a chat with Georgia and make a plan.
13:58But I'm also feeling conflicted because Louis is over in Team Kahu
14:02and I feel like I've got a close bond with Louis.
14:05Like I feel like we have an almost sibling relationship.
14:08He feels like an older brother.
14:09He feels like someone that I can trust.
14:12I really want him to stay too.
14:14So that's something to figure out.
14:16But I just intend to have fun and just try and see if I can chat to the girls today.
14:21I need to somehow communicate to the girls in the original Team Kahu.
14:26We need to look after Liv.
14:28Do you think that Ria would want to be like nothing against Ria because I think she's really wonderful and
14:36so lovely.
14:37My only like question mark is do her and Ben have some sort of alliance?
14:42Her relationship with Ben.
14:44I'm just going to be a little bit weary of that possible connection.
14:48Going into the face off, do we just go hard because we want the food and we trust that Ben's
14:53going to make a decision?
14:54Yeah.
14:55But then does that put me potentially in a vulnerable position of him putting me up against another original OG
15:02Team Kahu member?
15:03Am I going to get put up against T?
15:06Do I somehow slow the face off down so that we don't win?
15:10We have to scheme quietly and make moves and we need to like just get to the merge.
15:17Well we have done a little scheming ourselves.
15:23And it's about to change everything.
15:30We walk into the arena and this huge challenge is laid out in front of us.
15:36I love this part of the game.
15:37What is going on here?
15:40This is not usual.
15:42Oh my God.
15:44I don't know what's about to hit though.
15:46Look up there, this looks handy.
15:47Not a clue in the world.
15:50Jayden and me have a wry little smirk on their faces like something's brewing.
15:57There's just something different in the air.
16:00And I don't think I'm the only one feeling it.
16:03No mai haere mai.
16:04Welcome to the team face off.
16:07Although this one is going to be a little different.
16:10Oh listen up.
16:11We like to call this one, shall I stay or shall I go alone?
16:16You will head into this challenge as teams.
16:18You will come out of it as individuals.
16:22That's right guys.
16:23The individual game has arrived.
16:27Yes, clap yourselves in.
16:35I made the match.
16:39I can't believe I made it this far.
16:41I honestly thought somebody was going to vote me off day three because they realise I don't shut up.
16:46Very exciting to get to this point.
16:48So congratulations everyone.
16:49I was the oldest one here from the start.
16:51You know, I'm still here.
16:53Underestimate.
16:54That's your peril.
16:55That also means Ben and Nix, your reign as Kaihoutu is now over.
17:01Yay!
17:03Which means you could be vulnerable for elimination.
17:07Please hand over the Manahoutu.
17:12Ben's a really strong player in this game and I feel like we need to try and figure out
17:18how to take him out of this competition.
17:21Ben, how does it feel knowing that the immunity is gone?
17:25Yeah, that's something that I'm going to have to adapt to very, very quickly.
17:28It's been a responsibility I've enjoyed, but I've also enjoyed being immune from elimination.
17:36I'm going to have to adjust for that.
17:39Very, very smartly.
17:41You've been good.
17:42It's unrealistic to think that other players now aren't viewing me as a threat.
17:48And I'd be stupid to think that I'm going forward at this point without at least a faint target on
17:54my back.
17:55Alright, let's jump into the wero.
17:57This challenge is all about teamwork and knowing when to ditch it.
18:01On my call, you will race under the obstacle structure following your team-coloured paths.
18:06Along the way, grab your puzzle pieces.
18:08Don't miss any. You'll need them all.
18:09Once everyone is through, use those pieces to assemble your puzzle on the table.
18:13All of the pieces will fit together to form a phrase.
18:16Once the puzzle is complete, teams will face four rope bridges with moveable planks.
18:20You'll need to figure out how to get everyone across.
18:24Or, maybe you'll decide it's faster to go alone, leaving everyone else stranded.
18:31When you hear that, you start looking around at people, looking at your teammates, and everyone's a little bit edgy.
18:35It's going to be interesting to see how people navigate that.
18:39Finally, you must land five sandbags on the tree pole in front of you.
18:42First person to land all five wins the challenge and decides who goes up for elimination tonight.
18:50The individual games is a better situation for me.
18:53I'm excited to play by myself. Let's do it.
18:57Well guys, there's one thing in this game that never changes, and that's the fact I've got something up for
19:02grabs.
19:03Jaden?
19:07Ooh.
19:10Those are margaritas.
19:13I need a drink.
19:14Brie, you're speaking the language.
19:16We needed those last night.
19:18I'm good with not being the person to put up the people for elimination, but I really want that margarita.
19:24And what goes with margaritas?
19:27My standards, apparently.
19:29And nachos.
19:31Ooh!
19:31Yum!
19:32That's right, guys.
19:33After the challenge, I'll have a fully Mexican-inspired feast, muds included, waiting for the winner.
19:40Plus, maybe one other person, but we'll see.
19:43Cool.
19:44Who's ready for the individual game?
19:46Yep.
19:46Georgia looks ready.
19:47She looks ready to roll.
19:49I want the nachos so badly.
19:51Well, let's get into it.
19:52Let's go!
20:10All of a sudden, I see Liv just scooting underneath all of the bamboo.
20:14It's perfect for me, because it's kind of weird shapes, and I'm like, actually, this is my one strength.
20:19I'm kind of like this.
20:23That's it.
20:23I just have to roll and try and just force myself to fit underneath the bamboo.
20:28Georgia looks like she's been in the army.
20:30I'm not as agile as I thought I was.
20:32Both teams starting this game together.
20:35For now.
20:36They'll end alone.
20:38Keep going, bro.
20:39But then we will find out who's in it for themselves.
20:42Move along that way.
20:43Both teams making light work of these puzzle pieces.
20:47Once they all get them out and are through, they can start the puzzle.
20:51Pakapu waiting on Frank.
20:54Once he's out, they can start.
20:56Yep, yep.
20:57All good.
20:58Pakapu can start their puzzle.
20:59I feel like somehow, throughout this whole game, I've become like, oh, Georgia's good at puzzles.
21:05I'm like, where did that come from?
21:08Like, I said once I could do Soroku.
21:10Tahu waiting on Zion and Louie.
21:13He's through.
21:14They can start their puzzle.
21:15Question.
21:15It's a question.
21:16Should.
21:17Ria's already got SH and she thinks should.
21:20Shall.
21:21I don't know why, because I don't even talk like this, but I was like, shall?
21:24My brain suddenly clicked and I went, oh my gosh, I know what it is.
21:28Shall I stay?
21:29Shall I stay or shall I go?
21:31The name of the challenge.
21:33Both teams moving quickly.
21:35Eat safe.
21:37Nice.
21:37Cheer.
21:38Cheer, cheer, cheer.
21:39Eat.
21:40Cheer, cheer, cheer.
21:42Eat, eat, cheer.
21:45Who will get it first?
21:46And so we start putting the things and we realise there's one more word.
21:49Ready?
21:50Cheer.
21:52Alone.
21:53Yeah, nice.
21:54Thank goodness somebody goes, oh, it's alone.
21:56Yeah, nice.
21:57This might be the fastest puzzle we've seen yet.
22:02Think you got it?
22:03Yep.
22:04Kahu, have the puzzle.
22:05Moving on.
22:06Someone listen carefully to Jaden.
22:09Shall I stay or shall I go alone?
22:11That was the phrase.
22:13Team Kahu, they're already getting across that rope bridge.
22:17Hands and knees on these plaques.
22:20We've fallen behind already.
22:24This is where we find out if they will break apart and start playing individually.
22:29Takapu still working on that puzzle.
22:33Louie moving quickly with those plaques.
22:36Oh yeah.
22:37Two people max on the bridge at any one time.
22:40Takapu think they have it.
22:41Takapu moving on.
22:42Here we go, we've got a game with our hands.
22:46All players have now entered the individual game.
22:49We'll see if anyone is willing to go it alone.
22:52Will they wait for Zion?
22:54Who's going to ditch their team and just go for the win?
22:56Louie through.
23:04Louie through.
23:09Currently both players waiting for their team.
23:12Obviously I'm never going to ditch my team.
23:14That's the fast road to making enemies on day one of us splitting up.
23:17Blue team still building that bridge.
23:19We can only have two on the bridge at one time.
23:21Orange nearly have their whole team through.
23:24Just get everybody through.
23:25Everybody across.
23:27Good luck team.
23:27Go well.
23:28High five.
23:29Come on Zai.
23:30They do.
23:30All right guys.
23:31Let's go get it.
23:32Good luck.
23:32And just like that, they separate.
23:35And that's the end of the team, which is so weird.
23:39Every person for themselves.
23:42We're all by ourselves now.
23:44That's huge.
23:44And it's going to be a completely different strategy we're going to have to employ.
23:48I start throwing them up.
23:50Nix lands a sandbag.
23:52I crack it straight away.
23:53I'm like, eh eh eh eh.
23:55Louie lands a sandbag.
23:56First person to nail five wins.
24:00Ria lands a sandbag.
24:01Nix has landed three sandbags.
24:04She only needs two more.
24:07Do you know I'm in the lead by now.
24:08I'm thinking, oh my god, am I going to take this out?
24:12Louie has two sandbags.
24:15Ria's got two already.
24:16Dark Blue is falling further behind.
24:19But nobody is going in alone.
24:22I want to be a team player.
24:23I'm not ready to just charge your head and be like, see ya.
24:28Definitely not feeling that.
24:29Will they have to cast Lee at elimination tonight?
24:32Frank's in the game.
24:33Liv's in the game.
24:34George is in the game.
24:35Ben's in the game.
24:36Everyone throwing these sandbags now.
24:41Hopefully one of the OG team Cahoo members wins and can take me for nachos.
24:47Louie has three landed.
24:50Nix has three landed.
24:52Nix is right there.
24:55Nix and Louie currently ahead.
24:57Nix is with me the whole way.
25:00Bring someone.
25:03Liv knocks one of her sandbags off.
25:08Georgia, Zion, Ben also having trouble.
25:14Yes.
25:15Now lands a sandbag.
25:16Zion bragging about his aim all season.
25:19I'm chucking these sandbags up.
25:22Overarm, underarm, and nothing is sticking.
25:25Yet to land a sandbag on the tree.
25:29Ben lands his first.
25:31Liv relands a lost sandbag.
25:34Frank still on one.
25:36Now lands another sandbag.
25:38Louie has four.
25:39He's going for his last.
25:41Can he get it?
25:42The highest platform, the hardest to land.
25:45Louie lands his sandbag.
25:48Takes out the first individual challenge.
25:53Louie gets it done.
25:54First solo win.
25:56He's deciding who goes up tonight.
26:00Namahi Nui and congratulations Louie on your first solo win.
26:04Yay!
26:07I feel a little bit nervous winning the first one.
26:09I think I got a bit excited to get out there and go hard and pick up the win.
26:13That Mexican feast awaits.
26:15I was only thinking about having a feed, but I've stuck my head out and said,
26:20Hey!
26:21Eliminate me, guys.
26:22I'm a threat.
26:23But I was thinking you're probably going to get a little bit lonely, aren't you?
26:27You may as well invite a mate.
26:29Who's that going to be?
26:30My mate Zion.
26:31Oh, thanks brother.
26:32But then I thought, two is company, but three is a fiesta.
26:37Invite one more person.
26:39I'm going to take my mate Ria too.
26:42Amazing, Ria.
26:44I choose Ria and Zion because the whole group will understand that answer.
26:49It'll cause the least conflict.
26:51But Louie, remember you also have an important decision to make.
26:54Oh, I forgot about that.
26:56So think long and hard about who you're going to put up tonight.
26:59I've got a big decision to make.
27:00But if I plan to keep eating these feeds, I'll probably have to get used to this.
27:06I'm currently feeling quite nervous.
27:07I haven't made any connection with Louie, so I am panicking.
27:12All right, before you guys head off, it's time to drop your buffs.
27:15Because your new team colour is purple and your new team name is Kuaka.
27:20A taonga species of great significance to the muri whenua.
27:24Each year, this small but extraordinary bird undertakes the longest non-stop migration of any creature on earth.
27:31Flying in large flocks from Alaska all the way to the shores of Aotearoa on a single unbroken flight carried
27:38on the winds of Tawhirirangi, the jet stream.
27:40Pretty cool bird, eh?
27:42Yeah.
27:43Team Kuaka.
27:44A tribe that has become one.
27:46Come grab your buffs.
27:48Congratulations, guys.
27:50It's definitely feelings of, like, sadness of leaving, you know, what our comfort was and what we know.
27:56There you go, Frank.
27:57Oh, yeah.
27:58But there is also, like, this feeling of excitement.
28:02Being able to, like, finally spend time with Nyx and Aotearoa is, like, super exciting.
28:08All right.
28:08Everyone head back to Old Camp Kahu.
28:11That will be your kainga from now on.
28:13I'll see you shortly for elimination.
28:14That one sucks.
28:16Get out of here, guys.
28:17Bye.
28:18Bye, guys.
28:21I get to be in our original whare, which feels really special, but also strained.
28:27Oh, the purple.
28:29Wow.
28:30I love what you've done with the place.
28:34It's some sort of comfort, but also all of the people are different.
28:38Oh, cute.
28:39One person going home, though.
28:41Oh, no.
28:42Yeah.
28:42Anyone have an idea on how this is going to play out?
28:45I mean, you guys know Louis better than...
28:47Yeah.
28:48We've only had a very short time to actually spend time with him on the game.
28:51Yeah, it's pretty crazy.
28:52Who knows how he's going to do it?
28:54He said he's a gamer at the end of the day.
28:56Yeah.
28:57Oh, anything's on the cards, really.
28:59Mm-hmm.
28:59I wouldn't like to be in Louis' shoes, to be honest, because it's a big call.
29:03It's one that has to be made, though, because there's only eight beds.
29:13Oh, my...
29:15Yeah.
29:17Wow.
29:18Oh, my goodness.
29:19Zion and Ria have been through everything with me.
29:22Cheers.
29:23Cheers, mate.
29:23Cheers, team.
29:24We've eaten every reward of this competition so far, and today will be no different.
29:29We're all on our own now, right?
29:30We're all on our own now, right?
29:30I don't think we're at that stage.
29:32I think there's still a game within the game.
29:35Louis is still a team person, first and foremost, I think.
29:38Yeah.
29:38Even though, you know, it's become an individual.
29:40Yeah.
29:41But then the question is, is which team?
29:42What team?
29:43Yeah.
29:44When we played for Takapu, we played as hard as we could for our team.
29:47When we played for Kahu, we played as hard as we could for our team.
29:50And now, in the big group, it becomes about our relationships.
29:54We did say we wanted as many Takapu in the final eight as we could.
29:59Ria wants us all to stay happy-clappy together, kumbaya.
30:05But, yeah, no one wants to be the first to fire the first shot.
30:10Frank's been saying he wants to get into the arena.
30:14And he might want to scrap and go out in the blaze of glory,
30:17so he might get to collect one more legend.
30:21Well, then that's the interesting thing,
30:22because it's like now that it's an individual game,
30:25do you switch it up and do you put two of the strongest players in the ring
30:29to make the competition easier down the road?
30:32100%.
30:32I can't help but think that at this point in the game,
30:35there's a target on my back.
30:37Are you thinking ahead and going,
30:39Right, who's going to potentially be in my way down the track
30:42and just get going, getting them out?
30:44I've still got hope, though.
30:45Hope that our old Takapu bonds will stay strong
30:48and me old mate, Louie, won't target me for elimination later on.
30:51Then in that instance, I'd say Zion's a pretty big threat.
30:56Yeah.
30:57Zion, he's the giant slayer.
30:59He wants to verse the best and beat the best
31:01and was already in my ear about, I want Ben.
31:04But he's also got an advantage.
31:06Oh, yeah, true.
31:07That's right.
31:08Yeah, that's true.
31:08Yes, he does.
31:09I still have a card to play that saves two people from elimination.
31:13So if Louie calls up two players to compete tonight,
31:17Zion, he could swap out both of them.
31:19Oh, that's a hefty card.
31:21The way I want to win this competition,
31:22I've wanted to take on the best.
31:24I see Ben as a real threat.
31:25If it's me and him in the arena,
31:27I'm probably not going to save myself.
31:29You love that arena.
31:30I do.
31:31I love competing.
31:33The giant slayer.
31:36Bring on Ben.
31:37Nah.
31:48Hey.
31:49What's up?
31:50So do you think they might knock me and you and Georgia out?
31:55I think if it's you and I going in there,
31:58we both give it everything.
32:00Yeah.
32:00If I get into anything, I'm going to give it all a go.
32:03Hi.
32:04Hi.
32:05It's good to be back.
32:06What is...
32:07The girls back together.
32:09What we're just talking about,
32:10what do we think is going to happen?
32:12I was just saying,
32:14the logical thing is to whack out the old group.
32:18Realistically,
32:19you've got three original kahu
32:22and a whole bunch of takapu.
32:24The ties, the loyalty.
32:27And Louie now the exterminator.
32:32I don't know, girls.
32:33We might be in trouble.
32:36High five girls.
32:37Yay!
32:38If they're clever,
32:40they'll be discussing it over nachos and margaritas.
32:43Which is exactly what they're doing.
32:45I reckon let's keep Frank here for as long as we can.
32:48We're such good value.
32:50I want them to stay too.
32:51But you're trying to imagine a scenario where nobody goes in.
32:55That doesn't exist.
32:57And I don't cry.
32:58Yeah.
32:58Those are gone now.
32:59I know.
33:00We're going to feel bad every day now.
33:03Whatever you do from here on out,
33:04there'll be tears.
33:05You'll be crying.
33:06It's hard.
33:07Yeah.
33:08I think regardless,
33:09the goal for us is trying to get as many wahine to the end as possible.
33:13If I'm here tomorrow,
33:15I would like to bring Liv in in some way, shape or form.
33:17I would love to bring Liv and Rhea in.
33:20Yeah.
33:20Rhea's awesome too.
33:23Thanks, Louis.
33:24But I just don't know how strong Rhea's alliance with Louis and Zion.
33:32And Ben.
33:34Whoever gets the chance to needs to talk to Rhea and just ask her,
33:38is getting as many females into the end more important than the other connections that she's formed?
33:46Brace yourself.
33:47There's some choppy weather on the horizon.
33:49Yeah, there sure is.
33:50You've got a few days to stomach a different conversation when we start talking about our friends and final state
33:56of the end.
33:58This ends for all but one.
34:01I feel busy now.
34:03Like a party.
34:04By the way, they're coming down.
34:05Okay.
34:06Great.
34:06Speak of the devil and he will appear.
34:09Uh oh, uh oh.
34:10I'll carry on doing the dishes then.
34:12You can almost guarantee Louis clocks this already.
34:15Yeah.
34:15Hey.
34:16Hey.
34:18Thought we'd come visit.
34:20Nice place you got here.
34:21Hey.
34:22Have you guys paid your bond in two weeks?
34:26Oh, you're fine.
34:27Oh, hello.
34:29Hello.
34:29Oh, no.
34:30How are you?
34:31Louis is an honorable man.
34:32He does everything up front.
34:34I want to see how you're feeling.
34:36He sat next to me and he goes, I want to speak to you first.
34:39If I go the other way, it means you'll hear another light.
34:42Yeah, it is.
34:42And I just want to see how your body is feeling, your mind is feeling.
34:45You know what's going to happen?
34:47You don't know when or how.
34:48You want to keep playing, but your time will come.
34:51You know, or you want to get in the arena and have a back.
34:55What do you think of a new day?
34:56And you're either in or you're out.
34:58I just thought I'd ask you what you wanted to do first.
35:00I appreciate it, bro.
35:01Decompress.
35:02Yeah, because I have been thinking both ways.
35:04Yeah.
35:04Man, it's really difficult.
35:06Yeah.
35:07It's pretty.
35:07What am I going to try to do?
35:09Actually, I'm not sure.
35:10Well, you better think fast, Frank, because the elimination battle awaits.
35:18We walk into elimination, still don't know exactly who's going to go up.
35:24It's got to be Team Kahu, because why the hell wouldn't it be?
35:29I have a gut feeling that Louis is going to put two of us up tonight.
35:35Being in there with one of your own feels like a position that you don't want to be in.
35:40I trust Louis.
35:41I mean, whether he puts my name forward, Frank's name forward or anyone's name forward, I back him.
35:45He's doing it for the game.
35:54Welcome to your first elimination as individuals.
35:57Tonight, the stakes couldn't be higher, because as you know, one of you will be leaving the game and the
36:02island,
36:03missing out on your chance at $100,000 for your charity.
36:06Before this battle begins, we need to find out who's going up.
36:09Louis, how am I?
36:18Louis, who will be the first person up for elimination?
36:22I feel heavy for this, but it really came down to we didn't get to spend as much time together
36:27around the fire as I did with some others.
36:29So, the first person up for elimination is Tiao.
36:34I'm ready.
36:35I feel like I've gone through this game giving everything I have, but never really getting to the point where
36:41I've truly tested myself.
36:42So, I'm ready to see what I'm made of.
36:45I just don't want to be facing my own whanau.
36:48And who will be going up against Tiao?
36:53Um...
36:53The question is, is it are we going to put two Kahu players up for elimination against each other tonight?
36:58Or is he going to turn on his Takapu OGs?
37:05Kahu, aroha mai.
37:07You will be going against each other tonight.
37:11Georgia, the first Tiao.
37:13When Louis says my name, like I'm not surprised at all.
37:16There's no hard feelings.
37:18I just have to try and contain my adrenaline and use it.
37:22You would think that that pit in your stomach would disappear knowing that your name didn't get called.
37:28But it doesn't because one of your two solid mates is leaving the island.
37:36Well, here are your rules.
37:38On my call, you must use your feet to stack three block towers on a rotating platform.
37:42Working from the largest block to the smallest.
37:46You must stay on your seat the whole time and your feet cannot touch the ground.
37:50Once the towers are three blocks tall, you must add your toppers.
37:54First person to add all three toppers and have them stand for three seconds wins.
37:58Loser goes home missing out on their chance at $100,000 for their charity.
38:03Tiao, Georgia, take your marks.
38:07Good luck, guys.
38:10I'm feeling nervous.
38:11I'm definitely not out of the game yet, but I've accepted the possibility of going home.
38:21Tiao, remind everyone of your charity.
38:24I am playing for UNICEF Trust New Zealand.
38:26They provide humanitarian and emergency aid to children around the world.
38:30Like me, they believe that no matter what colour you are, no matter where you're from,
38:34every child deserves to feel safe, loved and secure.
38:43And Georgia, who are you playing for?
38:44I'm playing for the Tauranga Woman's Refuge.
38:47They look after so many incredible wahine and their children
38:50who are navigating through some really horrendous situations with domestic violence.
38:55so really proud to be playing for them.
39:00Both beautiful charities.
39:02Fight hard for them.
39:03Tiao, Georgia.
39:05Kwa rite.
39:05Hai.
39:07Ti mapa.
39:09When my adrenaline gets pumping, I actually get the shakes.
39:13And literally as I lift the first box, the shakes kick in.
39:16Two OG Kahu, wahine, fighting off for their place in this game.
39:22The wind is up out here.
39:24Will it affect them?
39:25The wind is a factor in this.
39:27It potentially could knock everything off.
39:30I just have to move quickly.
39:32Might be a fast game.
39:33They need to build three towers and then stand three toppers on top of those towers.
39:38There's no time to second guess yourself.
39:41It's just go, go, go.
39:47I feel like I'm going at an all good pace, but then I hear Jayden say something.
39:51Georgia.
39:54Nearly completed the three towers.
39:57And I'm like, oh, okay.
39:59Gotta get moving.
40:00Pedal to the middle.
40:00Let's go.
40:01Tiao, not far behind.
40:03Get the toppers on.
40:04Hope the wind doesn't push them off.
40:06If Georgia can get three toppers standing for three seconds, she will be safe in this game.
40:12Georgia places her second topper.
40:14When I realise that Georgia's pumped ahead, the panic starts to set in.
40:19Tiao has her first topper.
40:21If Georgia can get this and have them stand for three seconds, she wins.
40:25I'm just thinking, oh my God, my core could never.
40:30Tiao with her second topper.
40:32Tiao's going for her third.
40:34Georgia.
40:35Three, two, one.
40:38Georgia wins this challenge.
40:41Tiao, going home.
40:46No, don't be sorry.
40:49There was no joy winning that challenge.
40:51The moment that I realised that I had finished was just the realisation
40:55that your friend is going home.
40:57Tiao, it is always an absolute pleasure to be in your presence.
41:01You are so optimistic, bubbly.
41:04Always show up with a smile, ready to take on whatever this game throws at you.
41:08Your presence will be missed.
41:10Do you have any final words?
41:11Oh man, I looked at Nix and now I'm going to cry.
41:15I told myself if I left I wouldn't cry.
41:17That's a hard thing for me.
41:21It's just been an absolute honour to get to know some beautiful people.
41:25Every single one of these guys.
41:27It's just been the best ride.
41:29I said I would come in and play hard and play fair and stay true to who I am.
41:35And I feel like I can walk out of here with my head high, knowing I gave it everything I
41:39had.
41:40And I get to take $5,000 at home to my charity, which is the only thing I wanted.
41:45Honestly, I'm shocked I made it this far.
41:47I thought somebody would get rid of me because I can't shut up.
41:49Like now.
41:51On that note.
41:53Yeah, all your time on Treasure Island has come to an end.
41:57Haere rā.
41:59Tūrao hawaki.
42:01Say your goodbyes.
42:02Head on out.
42:03Love you, girl. Love you.
42:05Maybe it's all the end. Don't be sorry.
42:08Just fight like hell to stay in it for as long as you can.
42:11It was real, real sad.
42:17For Ti to have to leave the island.
42:20Oh, thank you, sis.
42:22But out of everyone, she knew how the game went.
42:26So as much as it was sad as I knew that Ti would have been like,
42:30You better give it all you got, girl.
42:32Don't sit around and da-da-da-da-da-da, you got a game to play.
42:37Absolutely kill it, guys.
42:39Can't wait to see how this ends.
42:41Bye, Ti.
42:42See you next time.
42:43My time's done, and that's all good.
42:45But my sisters are there, and I'm going to be sending all the vibes, praying that they are the ones
42:52fighting in that final three.
42:54Georgia, that was an absolutely incredible effort.
42:58Congratulations, you've won yourself.
43:01This.
43:02Keep it to yourself.
43:04Share it with whoever.
43:05Up to you.
43:07Take a seat.
43:07I'm grateful to still be here, but I'm also just in shock.
43:11It's just not a nice feeling.
43:13It doesn't feel like a win that's worth celebrating.
43:16Only eight of you remain on Treasure Island.
43:19Every day you play is one step closer to victory and the all-important treasure.
43:24Head back to your kainga.
43:25Rest up.
43:26Hail popo.
43:30So now it's six against two kahus.
43:34And I'm like, oh my God.
43:36If we don't crack it, it'll be me and Georgia in the pit.
43:40And they'll just keep it like that till we're all wiped out like a extinct species.
43:49Next time.
43:51Today is the day.
43:53If we're going to have to make a big move, it's this moment now.
43:57The wahine kick into action.
44:00Girls want to fire the first shot.
44:02They better pull it off.
44:03Existing loyalties threaten to derail their plans.
44:09Does she have an alliance with Ben?
44:11I feel like I sort of need to let Ben know.
44:14Who will get their power in this game?
44:17We just ruined our chances and now Ben's going to put us on the chopping block.
