00:00Previously on Celebrity Treasure Island, the team swap saw new alliances form.
00:06I'm going to do everything I can to get us as far as we can to the end.
00:10Get as many women to that final three as we can.
00:13Heart out.
00:14But the merge changed the game.
00:16The individual game has arrived.
00:21Louis takes out the first individual challenge.
00:25We're all on our own now, hey?
00:26I don't think we're at that stage.
00:28Louis is still a team person.
00:30But then the question is, is which team?
00:32Yeah.
00:33And Louis had just one answer.
00:35Original kahu, we'll be going against each other tonight.
00:39Georgia wins this challenge.
00:41They are going on.
00:43It'll be me and Georgia in the pit.
00:46And they'll just keep it like that till we're all wiped out like an extinct species.
02:15I think waking up this morning, like, there's been so much loss for Team OG Kahu in a very short
02:25amount of time.
02:26You know, we lost Sammy on day one, we lost Harrison, we lost Vinny, we lost David and Simon to
02:34injury in the same game.
02:36And we wake up this morning and T's gone.
02:39Nix and I are the only OG Kahu remaining.
02:42And I need to start strategising pretty quickly because we're going to be up on the chopping block very, very
02:50soon if we don't change our game plan.
02:55The next couple of days will be about removing the last couple of members of Kahu.
03:01I think original Takapu is in a really strong position.
03:05We have the best players and I don't think anyone's going to betray original Takapu and cross over to Kahu.
03:12Hmm, are you sure about that, Louie?
03:15Charades.
03:16Hmm.
03:17Hmm.
03:19I don't know.
03:20Oh no.
03:21I can't find the sock treasure.
03:24Hmm.
03:26Same word.
03:29The ear, the hearing, oh the sound, the sound of music, yay, I got it, I got it, that was
03:36so fun.
03:36The bonding moments are my favourite moments.
03:40Okay, this is the code for just like a saying.
03:43Okay.
03:43Um, that's, that's the code for that.
03:46A saying?
03:47Yeah.
03:47Like the crazy thing about Georgia is like, I have like listened to her songs before auditions.
03:53So it's just like, it's like all these little threads that are like so beautiful and it's so nice to
03:57then be able to like really connect.
03:59And now that we're in the Women Alliance, now is like the opportunity to be able to like connect with
04:03people like NYX.
04:04And perhaps it's time to check in with your old mate and the only remaining female yet to join your
04:10alliance.
04:11The only question mark I have at this point around getting Women to the final is we need to bring
04:17Rhea in on this alliance and kind of formalise and make this like an official thing.
04:22Because, you know, Ben and her have a relationship outside this game.
04:26And I don't really know if she's like keen to be a part of what we want to do or
04:31if she's already got something happening with Ben.
04:33I need to go and check in with her.
04:36They're coming back.
04:37We might have missed our window.
04:39Yeah.
04:41We might have missed our window.
04:45Breakfast ready.
04:51Ooh, well this is nice and awkward.
04:55Sorry, Georgia.
04:56Hopefully you'll get another opportunity later.
04:59But for now it's time to...
05:01Get in here, you lot!
05:03Hey, Bree.
05:05Looking good, guys.
05:07Looking good.
05:08Looking good.
05:09This is a different of the charity challenge.
05:11We walk up the hill and then there are these boxes with these kind of like snorkel things coming out
05:15of them.
05:16No idea what's going on.
05:17Do you have a licence to have that weapon out, Ben?
05:22Sorry.
05:23Talking about the rig in general.
05:25Look at the rig on it.
05:27I'm going to take these opportunities to let it all hang out.
05:30All right, who's ready to sniff out a victory?
05:33Yay!
05:33Great, because I like to call this next challenge...
05:38What was that?
05:41And here's how it works.
05:42We'll play this one in rounds.
05:43You'll have 30 seconds to guess the mystery item inside the box using only your sense of smell.
05:51First person to correctly identify the item moves on to the next round until ultimately we're left with one nose
05:58sniffing.
05:59All right, it's time to see who has BSE.
06:04Big smell energy.
06:05Let's do it.
06:06Big smell energy.
06:11All right, first round.
06:12Ben, Louie and Zion.
06:14Are you ready?
06:15Ready.
06:16Ready.
06:17Sniff!
06:23Tuna.
06:24Dirty nappy.
06:25Mine smells just not coming up.
06:26Not dirty nappy, not tuna.
06:28Louie taking it all in.
06:30It's just not coming up the pipe.
06:32Put your nose in deeper.
06:34Can't smell anything.
06:35Nothing's wafting up this tube.
06:36And I'm trying to get my nose in as far as possible.
06:41But I just can't smell it.
06:43It's just not coming up the pipe, whatever this is.
06:47Ben, you can do it.
06:48Do you want to swap?
06:49Louie thinks he's got nothing.
06:52All right, there's nothing coming up this neck pipe.
06:55Oh, I can smell it straight away.
06:58Seaweed.
06:58Not seaweed.
07:00Garlic.
07:01Garlic.
07:01Louie got it.
07:02Moving on to the next round.
07:06All right, round two.
07:08Georgia versus Dex versus Rhea.
07:11Go.
07:13Cinnamon.
07:14Whoa!
07:15Rhea, that's it.
07:16I'll take it.
07:17Cinnamon was the answer.
07:20I only made it for about 10 seconds before Rhea was like, it's cinnamon.
07:25It's like, awesome.
07:25I'll watch from the side.
07:30All right, our third round.
07:32Frank versus Lev.
07:33Have you guys warmed up?
07:35Yeah, I think so.
07:36I've got my final stretch.
07:38Oh!
07:40I think I was blessed with big nostrils.
07:43I've just got to clear whatever gunk I've got up there, and then I'll get into it.
07:48Just check the caves.
07:49Yeah.
07:49Liv says you're good to go.
07:51All right.
07:52Smell.
07:57This is like fish.
07:59What'd you say?
08:00Tuna?
08:01Leave it on it straight away.
08:03Going through to the next round.
08:05Oh.
08:06Oh.
08:06Oh.
08:06Oh.
08:08All right, finals time.
08:10It's best of three between Liv, Louie, and Rhea.
08:15Here comes the first one.
08:17Go.
08:21I know that it's fish, but I can't quite place it.
08:25And then straight out of Rhea's mouth.
08:27Smokes him at this.
08:27Whoa!
08:29Rhea gets it within seconds.
08:32She's got the nose of a bloodhound.
08:35Are we ready?
08:36Yep.
08:36Yep.
08:37Sniff.
08:39I think this smells like my socks, but before I can say anything, Liv goes, dirty socks.
08:43Dirty socks.
08:44What?
08:45Liv gets it just before Louie.
08:48She takes the point.
08:49I'm glad that happened quickly.
08:50It was disgusting.
08:52It's actually what our kayanga smells like.
08:55All right.
08:55This is match point for Rhea and Liv.
08:58If you win this, you'll pick up that $5,000 for your charity.
09:03Louie, you need to get this one to stay in it.
09:06Are you ready?
09:07Yes.
09:08Smith.
09:10Cleanse decision.
09:12Cleanse decision.
09:13Soap.
09:13Shampoo.
09:14No.
09:15Conditioner.
09:16What?
09:17Sunscreen.
09:18Rhea gets it done.
09:20$5,000.
09:21Go into Rhea's charity.
09:23There we are.
09:24What a final.
09:27Rhea, well done.
09:28$5,000 going to your charity.
09:31Can you give us the rundown about where that money's going?
09:34So I'm here playing for the New Zealand Cancer Research Trust.
09:37They're the only organisation in New Zealand that funds innovative research for all cancer
09:41types.
09:41Every cent counts.
09:42So I'm really happy to be able to take that money to them.
09:44They need all the money they can get.
09:46Amazing charity, mate.
09:48Sunscreen got me the win and the $5,000 for my charity, which I am thrilled about.
09:52So far, I have raised $7,500 for my charity and I feel really cool about that.
09:57All right, guys.
09:58You know what time it is.
09:59Time to head back to your kaiinga and get ready for that individual face-off.
10:03Who's going to come out on top?
10:04Time will tell.
10:05We'll see you there.
10:06Get out of here.
10:15I think it might be Ben's day today.
10:17Yeah.
10:18Yeah.
10:19I think if Ben wins, I reckon he'll just stick with the same plan.
10:23We'll just...
10:23We'll just start chipping off...
10:26Our new cousins that have moved in.
10:30Oh, hey, fellas.
10:31I think Ben's a gamer.
10:33He's the strongest player remaining.
10:35I think he'll be starting to strategise and think about the next half of the game.
10:40Just seeing that body makes me scared.
10:42All right.
10:43Man.
10:45Man mountain.
10:48Oh, no.
10:50Well, it was fun while it lasted.
10:55Right, she's a puzzle solver.
10:56She's a puzzle solver.
10:57She's a puzzle solver with zero puzzles under her belt.
11:01It's super important that, like, all of the girls, we come together because we've got these, like, strong dudes in
11:09this merge.
11:10And if we really want to make this work, then we have to put everything at it.
11:14Otherwise, what's the point of making an alliance?
11:16We need to work smart and we need to work fast.
11:22I talk to Georgia and she kind of says, like, we should have a conversation with Rhea and see, you
11:27know, what she thinks.
11:31So we go out into the water.
11:36And cards are revealed about, you know, this potential alliance.
11:40We ask Rhea, like, where are you at?
11:43How would you feel about us spanning together?
11:46The goal being that us four would make it to the final war.
11:51I can see the cogs turning, but I'm not entirely sure what she's thinking.
11:55It sounds like she's really keen to be a part of it, but...
11:58She's very conflicted.
12:00Because of her, you know, relationship with Ben.
12:02And because of her loyalty with Takapu.
12:06The weird thing was, I don't know if the water was super cold or she was feeling awkward.
12:16But she left the water.
12:23I don't know how that went.
12:25We see her walking over straight to Ben.
12:31Does she have an alliance with Ben?
12:33And I'm like, oh, no.
12:35Have we just ruined our chances at bringing in Rhea into our alliance?
12:40And now Ben's going to put us on the chopping block.
12:51If you care to share, I'd love to hear what you're thinking, Ben.
12:55Since the merge happened and we're now all one team,
12:58there are so many different things to think about at this point
13:01regarding where my allegiances lie.
13:04My oldest friend here on the island is, of course, Rhea.
13:07Then I've got the Takapu OGs.
13:09Some really close friendships have formed.
13:11And I do feel a sense of allegiance to those six other people.
13:14We're all friends.
13:15I don't think there is alliance-based chats that anyone's having
13:18or any sneaky skullduggery.
13:20But who knows?
13:26I think the most important conversation for me to have right now is with Liv.
13:29It's to see where she's at in terms of, you know,
13:31the loyalty to Takapu versus maybe teaming up with the girls.
13:36Obviously, it's like a weird position to be in.
13:41But, you know, we came into this team Takapu.
13:45We want to get as many of us to the merge as possible,
13:46and we're here now.
13:48Yeah.
13:49I'm so conflicted about things.
13:50That has been weighing on me, too.
13:52In terms of Takapu, everyone has, like, I felt so supported.
13:57But I really didn't expect to form the connection
14:00and, like, the bond that I had with Georgia
14:02on those couple of days as well.
14:04Also, I feel like I've, like, connected quite hard with Nick as well.
14:09It's obviously a complicated position
14:12because we've been Takapu this whole way
14:14and we have a, you know, loyalty to, like, those team members.
14:17But also, how cool would it be to have all women in the final?
14:22It's always been my, like, motivation to have a woman win this thing.
14:25I so agree.
14:26I'm so excited.
14:28I think, like, in my gut, it feels the right thing.
14:31I think so.
14:34I feel like I sort of need to let Ben know that, do you think?
14:40I don't know.
14:41It's kind of tricky because in terms of this alliance,
14:43the smartest thing to do is, like,
14:45to try and get rid of the strongest player in terms of the men,
14:49and that is totally Ben.
14:51Do you think you'll talk to Georgia and Lex before that?
14:53Or, um, I just feel like I don't want to, um, I don't know.
15:00Portia and I decided to form an alliance
15:02and we intended that to carry through to the end.
15:05When we asked Ben to join our alliance,
15:09I said just until the merge,
15:11I'm still, I'm still really unsure what to do.
15:13I think the way I'm going to play it is I will have a chat to Ben,
15:16see if he is still wanting to team up in any way.
15:22We need to be careful and just figure out how we make it work.
15:35It would always be a real benefit to have his protection
15:39because I can see him winning so many of these individual challenges.
15:43But at the same time,
15:45if I was to, you know,
15:47plough on with my mission of getting women into the final,
15:50that's kind of at odds
15:52because that would then make him want to get rid of me.
15:57Oh, this game really messes with your head.
16:03I don't know what I'm saying.
16:05Yeah.
16:06You OK?
16:07Today is the day.
16:08If we're going to have to make a big move,
16:11it's this moment now.
16:23Oh, my gosh.
16:25This doesn't get any easier.
16:29What the hell are these hanging structures
16:32going to have us laid up like Jesus?
16:36No, I can't put that in there, eh?
16:43No, my heart, my heart.
16:48To the individual face-off.
16:51I want to know who here feels like
16:52they really need to win this today.
16:55Oh!
16:57Pretty much everyone other than you, Louis.
17:02Ben has shown that he is the best physical player left in the game I'm confident that if Ben takes
17:09out today's challenge it's Kahu on Kahu again in the elimination arena we're getting to the pointy
17:15end of this game now and obviously every single one of these challenges counts what do you guys
17:19think about when you head into one of these challenges Georgia I mean obviously food would
17:24help but I'm also feeling like you know Nix and I are the only OG Kahu members left and so
17:29that's a
17:30pretty nerve-wracking feeling feels really important to win this today I feel like myself
17:36Liv or Nix needs to be the one that wins this face off in order to have the upper hand
17:41who
17:41feels like they've got another gear no one wants to admit that right probably smart at this point
17:49in the game I'm thinking to myself do any of the other seven players think they can beat me at
17:54this the first endurance challenge that I ended up beating Harrison at I was up there for over
17:58three-quarters of an hour this is a very similar challenge clearly right shall we jump into the
18:04Whittle let's do it for this challenge you will start inside the frame standing on small foot pegs
18:10overhead you will hold on to two ropes after five minutes I will ask you to step down onto smaller
18:14foot pegs forcing your arms to straighten overhead after another five minutes I will ask you to step
18:20down to the smallest foot pegs there you will remain for as long as you can you must keep your
18:25hands on those ropes the whole time last person standing once the winner will select two people to
18:32face off in tonight's elimination battle where one of you will go home missing out on your chance at a
18:36hundred thousand dollars for your chair how are we going to win some kind of hanging endurance challenge
18:47against the boys feel the tension building but also you want to know what else you're playing for
18:54especially Georgia and I know camp life has been well rustic so this afternoon guys you'll enjoy a brief
19:02return to civilization with a relax on the beach a cheeky Vino cheese crackers and some other goodies
19:12for good measure and of course no one wants to shark who to Rhi alone that's why it's shark who
19:18to Rhi so
19:20you'll get to bring a friend with you right who thinks that's worth playing for me I'm here to chat
19:27with
19:27the girls today I don't know what Rhi is up to I just don't know if she's fully like giving
19:33herself to
19:34this ovary alliance all right I'll give you 10 seconds to get into position and then we're into it
19:40everyone ready ready ready I still haven't had a chance to talk to Ben but Ben is gonna take this
19:47out
19:48hands down five four three two one and Frank gets on just in the nick of time plan I feel
20:00all right arms
20:01are okay got reasonably good grip and my pain threshold is is all right I think I could be be
20:08all right in this one Frank's foot comes off he slips Frank's out Frank oh poor guy you know in
20:18terms
20:18of setting records in this place he does have a record now the shortest amount of time hanging on
20:23anything in this competition was it four seconds remember if a foot comes off the foot stall you're
20:32up you don't need to be up here as long as you can you just need to be up longer
20:36than everyone else
20:39Georgia getting some blood back in those legs for all of us I think the biggest threat has been all
20:45of
20:45us see him as probably the strongest player remaining next swinging the arms around keeping the blood in them
20:52next dancing right you've got one more minute up here then I'm gonna ask you to step down to the
21:01next
21:01foot peg my approach to this is just having a mind palace initially I was re-watching the entire film
21:16of
21:16Twilight in my head when Jaden was like go down to the next peg I was like okay this really
21:29hurts
21:29and I don't want to associate Twilight with pain so I was like I'm not gonna that's not my mind
21:34palace
21:34anymore three two we're all set Louie readjusting his feet I just have big feet and these notches
21:44are tiny I'm barely gripping the wood at all and it's just all just pain shooting through your heels
21:50your arch your toes anything you try and position is uncomfortable and I'm a big boy and all that
21:55force is just driving down on my feet right been up here for two and a half minutes I can't
22:02tell if
22:03Louie's moving around because he's uncomfortable or he's actually fallen asleep imagine waking up and
22:10you're in the middle of this welcome to CTI's house of pain
22:23Louie steps down he is out of this challenge we now have six people remaining oh my god I beat
22:31Louie I'm thinking stay up there Nick stay up there the longer the arms are overhead the more blood
22:37leaves the limbs the harder it gets to hold them up there yep I'm out and before I knew it
22:43I was on
22:43the ground my feet were throbbing one more minute on this level then we will step down to the final
22:49level there you will remain for as long as you can I can't get my feet in a comfortable position
22:58the
22:59pigs are so small every time I maneuver my feet into a position it's only a matter of seconds before
23:06the
23:06muscles and my calves and thighs start burning Ben constantly shuffling those feet tell you what Ben's in pain
23:1810 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 step down the clock's counting down I've only got a
23:43few more seconds to
23:45get my feet on those next pegs down three two one Ben gets on just in the nick of time
23:56you all right Liv you all right I can't believe that I'm still in it and I've got Georgia to
24:05my left
24:05Rhea to my right we're all still there we have three women two men who will take this out
24:15Georgia going to her happy place I'm really struggling with my feet I don't know how much
24:22longer I can hold but I'm trying to just take some like deep breaths allow my mind to not think
24:28about
24:28what's happening in my body I'm thinking about swimming in the ocean and just taking myself to
24:33that safe very happy place
24:43I'm holding on and I'm holding on and my calves are caving the footstool's so small that my feet
24:50are slipping I can't readjust I could see Ben next to me and he's going to be there for another
24:55hour
24:55at least and there's no way I'm natural high I'm down four people left in this challenge
25:15if you are readjusting make sure your feet are not leaving those pegs if they do you're out
25:21this one is really really tough much more than I expected my arms are okay it's just getting my
25:28feet comfortable on these teeny little footholds I'm constantly moving my feet about I just can't stay
25:34comfortable for more than a few seconds all four of these people said they felt like they needed a
25:41win today everything is hurting my glutes my arms aching my feet are really sore but we just have to
25:50outhang Ben we've got to outhang Ben and we're waiting waiting waiting like who's gonna be the
25:55next person to fall off the block and then I hear Jayden call Ben's foot came off he is out
26:05of this
26:05challenge and all of a sudden the game has opened itself up and the three of us at the last
26:13woman
26:14standing we're now down to three people Georgia live Ria who will stay there the longest who will get
26:23their power in this game I was so sure that Ben was gonna win this I have no idea how
26:30he's lost this I
26:31look over at Ria and she's strong she's sturdy and I'm still confident that we're gonna keep the wind
26:37inside takapu good job bro oh just like that lift force I know I can keep going I could keep
26:53going for a
26:53really long time I look over Georgia's looking a little bit uncomfortable but she's still strong
26:58and then I decide I'm gonna get off too and Ria steps off Georgia takes out this challenge wins her
27:08first food prize in this game
27:14I'm thinking hmm Ria's just thrown this challenge she's all in
27:30this is the first time in this competition where I've won something I'm feeling really proud of
27:35myself I feel like my dad will watch this and feel really proud too Ria she just gives the win
27:43to Georgia
27:44Ria has crossed over to the other camp that's her first shot and this moment right here has changed
27:52the trajectory of the whole game well they call it Georgia endurance lines how about that mate
28:02I feel like you went to a very special place just then I did what was your happy place actually
28:09the
28:09water just imagining myself just being in the water it was very impressive I thought you went to a
28:14cheese land place because you have picked up that reward a lovely relaxing afternoon with cheese and
28:20crackers and now I'm gonna ask you who do you want to bring with you I would love to bring
28:24next I think
28:25just we haven't spent the last few days together obviously being separated this would have been really
28:30nice to just spend some time with my OG gal oh my god I get to eat you know what
28:37I'm feeling generous
28:39I think you can pick one more person who's that person gonna be my people pleasing self struggles
28:51I love Gherkins there'll be plenty of Gherkins for you there Liv Georgia also earned the power to put up
29:01two people in tonight's elimination battle think long and hard about who that's gonna be Ria doesn't
29:07want to be the one to put her original teammates up for elimination but she wants us gone and giving
29:13that
29:14power over to Georgia without a fight is her saying it's time for us to start picking off the boys
29:20all right everyone head back to your kyinga and prepare yourselves for elimination where loyalties
29:26will be tested and people will go home we'll see you later good luck obviously I put Georgia up for
29:33elimination the night before I might be going home tonight I just expected Ben to just smoke us all
29:47right so I thought this is his game it's his pick today I think his feet were too big yeah
29:52yeah look
29:53like a little bit I'm gutted because I did so well the last time we did a similar contest and
30:00now my
30:00head's gonna be on the chopping block I'm pretty certain of it the last nine days I've eaten beans and
30:16rice oh my goodness I am so happy I can't believe that the the three of us left at the
30:30end with three
30:31wahine I know that felt so good when Ria got down I think just that moment there just changed the
30:39mindsets of every single person that was standing there now the game begins this is our opportunity
30:46to make a really strong move because I don't know if this opportunity is going to come around again
30:53for us all right Georgia what are we going to do if we look at the maths currently it's for
30:59four of us
31:00versus four guys we have Zion we've got Frank we've got Louie and we've got Ben I feel like Ben
31:08is the
31:08current biggest threat so then the question is who would take him out Zion's taken out
31:16two of our strongest players I think Zion is very very a very strong player I just don't know where
31:23his head is sitting in terms of that advantage card if anyone could take out Ben it's Zion but at
31:29the
31:29same time we need to put Louie in there because I feel like Louie's a bigger threat than Zion I
31:38think Louie
31:38do you guys reckon Louie's kind of like the godfather for Georgia and Nick's they're trying to reshape the
31:51alliances not being Takapu and Kahu and reshape them into Tane and Wahine I think you bang on that is
32:00my
32:01one thing that I wrestle with in all of this is that I like I could never put Louie up
32:07Louie has
32:08been like my best mate and a huge part of my experience here yeah so punch it right through
32:14first like straight down yeah and then bring it down get hold of your hand quickly that's a perfect
32:19yeah hold hands yeah I feel like we have a almost sibling relationship oh no oh you made me laugh
32:27when
32:27I got your skin feels like an older brother I can't I can't find it in myself yet to put
32:38Louie up
32:39I think this is the moment where I need to decide if I want to do this sorry no yeah
32:46like I also just
32:49feel like in such a short amount of time I've made like crazy connections with you both as well so
32:57yeah
32:59yeah the thing that still makes me a bit on edge is just seeing how close live is with Louie
33:07when you
33:08have an alliance you want it to be solid in the plan a hundred percent and I just don't feel
33:15that a
33:15hundred percent from Louie I think it'll be me and Ben tonight if you fire that shot and you miss
33:22that's a risky move but you got to be sure what you're doing because if you let them back in
33:30and
33:30he's there to play tomorrow you know she let me back in this game on girls if they want to
33:37fire the
33:37first shot they better pull it off it's scary walking into elimination we didn't see Nick's live
33:54in Georgia and have a chance to chat plead our case so it's the complete unknown I just thought to
34:06myself prepare for the worst and the worst for me is going up against Ben or Louie welcome to
34:13elimination whoever loses this battle will be gone from the island and the game missing out on their
34:19chance at a hundred thousand dollars for their charity but before the battle begins we need to
34:23find out who's going up Georgia come on up it's definitely feeling like a team decision it's feeling
34:29like it's the right decision and regardless of who ends up coming back we're losing a strong player in
34:34the game Georgia who are you putting up first I mean I'm gonna be putting you up tonight you are
34:44what I
34:45would consider the strongest player in this game I don't want to be facing facing you if I manage to
34:51get to get to the end it's all good I appreciate that George and who will be going up against
34:56Ben
35:07so I'm gonna be putting you up tonight as well we're all sitting there waiting for Zion to play his
35:14card
35:17and he doesn't play it if Zion doesn't win this we come home with Ben and Louie it's all good
35:26it's
35:27all it's all part of the game Georgia I know you have to do it thank you I always said
35:31for this
35:32advantage I wasn't going to use it today because you have threats in this game at the end of the
35:36day
35:37you have to beat them and if I don't beat them now I'm just delaying it for later on in
35:41the game
35:43Ben Zion third time each in the elimination arena for one of you this will be your last Zion the
35:52giant
35:52slayer gets a chance to add another notch to his belt and take down who I believe is the best
35:58player
35:58in the game all right battlers here are your rules you will have half an hour to build a tower
36:05using a
36:05pile of tiles you can win by being the first person to build your tower higher than the measuring stick
36:10or by having the highest tower after 30 minutes it needs to stand for 10 seconds if it does you
36:16win loser goes home missing out on the hundred thousand dollar grand prize for their charity
36:21Ben Zion take your marks oh looks like it's my time to take off one more in the hit list
36:29big Ben's coming down Ben remind us of your charity Jayden on plane for heart kids New Zealand
36:37heart kids New Zealand wrap support around and provide access to a community and essential
36:43services for the 600 children in New Zealand every year who require heart surgery awesome Ben
36:51and Zion who are you playing for I'm proud to be playing for koru care Jayden they help seriously ill
36:57children and disabled children go on trips around the world and live out their dreams so I'm more than
37:02happy to be helping them awesome time all right Ben Zion quality there hey ready see mother both men
37:13have half an hour to build this tower I have a nine-year-old daughter at home I spend a
37:19lot of time
37:19building towers with blocks so I know a thing or two about this and what I do know is that
37:24given the
37:25conditions this tower is gonna have to have a very wide base I'm very aware of this wind so I
37:31need
37:32this tower to have a strong foundation both men going with different strategies early it's dumb I've
37:41never built a tower before it can't be that hard I just have to make it tall and it not
37:48fall over like
37:49how hard can that be turns out it's very hard I know that this is a game of patience and
38:05precision
38:05trying to go too fast and too high too quickly is only gonna result in the tower being blown over
38:11I just
38:12take my time putting each tile into place carefully making a large first layer his eye on putting a
38:20second layer on deciding to go straight up what would you do similar to being wide base Zion I don't
38:32think he's got his base down this solid as he needs it to be he's having a few more collapses
38:39I don't even
38:40think Ben has had a collapse bloody wing just like that Zion's tower tumbles what have I done what
38:55have I done what have I done what have I done I've just put myself up on the chopping block
38:58Ben's gonna
38:59come back I'm gonna go out tomorrow like being on his fifth layer Zion working on his foundation but
39:13anything can change you're 15 minutes left halfway Ben's is here and Zion still like he's still way behind me
39:33I'm just thinking just keep building just keep building fight till the end do your best and never
39:39give up all right both players have 10 minutes to go Ben's being really smart about this he has got
39:48to a point that he realizes Zion can't possibly catch up so he's just stopping
39:55Ben wondering whether to go any higher but slowly Zion starts to make some headway Zion working on his
40:07fifth layer Ben has eight all right you've got five minutes to go I need to move here
40:17Ben keeping a close eye on Zion's tower Zion moving quicker now trying to catch Ben Ben goes down for
40:25more tiles Zion has cracked his pattern can he build them fast enough I'm keeping a close eye on Zion
40:35and
40:36he's figured out a building technique with these tiles that actually works Zion catch up and overtake me
40:41Zion quickly catching up to bed Zion quickly catching up to be one minute left just stay come on
40:55and just like that the top of Ben's tower falls Zion now takes the leash
41:04oh my god could Zion do this Ben I can see it's sort of starting to panic
41:14you've got 30 seconds when I start counting down from 10 step back they need to stand for 10 seconds
41:23Ben furiously trying to get more height on his tower
41:30Ben's best move would be to not touch his tower from this point
41:33Zion does not have enough time to catch Ben
41:38Ben's tower falls again
41:42the time step back 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2
41:552 1 Zion wins the challenge Ben going home
42:07the plan worked and once again Zion the giant slayer takes out the strongest player in the game
42:22I told you giant slayer
42:25I told you giant slayer
42:33Ben you were a huge threat in this game it was hard to find a strength that you didn't have
42:37and you came in and showed up every challenge you've been in here three times and gave it your all
42:44you're also going home with 5k for your charity any final words
42:49um first of all I just want to say it's a it's an honour to be beaten by this man
42:53here
42:55this has been a journey unlike any that I've ever
43:00unlike any that I've been on in my whole life and my cup is absolutely overflowing so I thank you

43:33yeah
43:35I'm just grateful I'm really grateful to have been invited onto this island and been able to experience this
43:42I'll never forget it I'll never experience anything like this again
43:46I can't believe it
43:49now he's gone we don't have to worry about him anymore
43:52this could be like the game changing moment for us women
43:56it really could be
43:58Zion incredible performance once again
44:01it would have been easy to stand back with one minute left and accept defeat but you kept at it
44:05and you walked away for victory
44:07you've also
44:11you must be getting a couple of them now
44:14yeah
44:15awesome Zion you can take a seat
