Celebrity Treasure Island - Season 7 - Episode 10
Transcript
00:00Previously on Celebrity Treasure Island.
00:03So we go out into the water and cards are revealed about, you know, this potential alliance.
00:09We asked Rhea, like, where are you at?
00:12Does she have an alliance with Ben?
00:14Georgia made a risky move.
00:16I'm so conflicted about things.
00:18It's always been my, like, motivation to have a woman win this thing.
00:22And Rhea steps off.
00:25Georgia takes out this challenge.
00:27That paid off.
00:28Rhea's just thrown this challenge.
00:31She's all in.
00:33And the girls fired the first shot.
00:36Ben, I'm going to be putting you up tonight.
00:38They saw Zion.
00:41Zion wins the challenge.
00:43Ben, going home.
00:46Send another giant home.
00:48The plan worked.
00:50And it's only day one.
00:51Like, what else can we achieve?
00:54Thanks, guys.
00:54Thanks.
00:55Thanks.
00:56Thanks.
01:57It's day 10 on Celebrity Treasure Island, and things are feeling pretty cool in camp.
02:05There's this light feeling in camp, like the wolf is gone, like everyone is in tents, maybe people are feeling
02:12more hopeful about their gameplay, or...
02:14He was definitely the strongest player remaining, and I feel like everyone's a bit more relaxed.
02:18Oh, I mean, it's actually quite cold.
02:23There's a storm coming, Frank.
02:27Hang on, are you saying that as Zion the line killer, or are you saying that as just...
02:32I think you mean Zion the giant slayer.
02:36The giant slayer. That's cool.
02:39I just want to make it clear, because Frank Bunce has been saying that I came up with it.
02:43I did not come up with it. That's not in my nature. I didn't come up with it.
02:46You know, as much as we're enemies when we're playing, we're friends outside of it, especially for Frank Bunce.
02:52Goodness me, like, I love sport. I love rugby.
02:56He's taught me lessons that I can use for the game, but in real life too.
02:59There's still more in me, that I can compete, that if you have a little bit of confidence in yourself,
03:06you can do well.
03:07Oh, that must mean a lot to you, Frank.
03:12Frank? Earth to Frank?
03:13I'm going down, have a little walk, see what temperature the water is.
03:20And then...
03:23I see a little pouch.
03:34I'll take that back and I'll share it with the camp.
03:36Oh, my God, Frank!
03:41Looked like a good guy, looked like a good team player in the meantime.
03:45When our haven began to fail, we hid the gold deep beneath the sand
03:49and marked its resting place with the symbols of our refuge,
03:53a path only the faithful would understand.
03:57Storms split our markers.
03:59Some were carried off by those who fled.
04:01Others were copied by hands who only thought they knew their meaning.
04:05But over time, truth blurred, memory faltered.
04:08Now the symbols lie scattered, half forgotten, and misplaced across sand, rock, and water.
04:14For many have followed the signs.
04:16Not all have found what they were looking for.
04:21I just, I'm like, I don't know what this means.
04:25Is there treasure in a cave?
04:27But I'm hoping that this story is going to keep evolving and revealing itself.
04:33All comes back to the symbols, eh?
04:34Yeah.
04:35Yeah, for sure.
04:36How does that relate to food?
04:38Sorry, Louie, I can't promise you food, but I can promise you a good time.
04:44If your definition of a good time is torrential rain so bad,
04:48your clothes go full transparent mode.
04:52Feels like rain's coming.
04:54Get it here, you lot!
04:58I haven't won any charity challenges.
05:02Morena.
05:03Morena.
05:05Louie.
05:06How many have you won, too?
05:08Oh, sit down.
05:09Ria, you've won some.
05:11Oh, you fellas, go to bed.
05:14Ata maria.
05:16I want to know from you guys, who's surprised that they're still here?
05:21Everyone?
05:22So what about for you, Zyle?
05:23People are nicknaming you the Giant Slayer.
05:26Yeah, I know.
05:27Yeah, yeah, yeah.
05:27I don't know how, yeah.
05:28He started that nickname.
05:32He's like, hey, Frank, what if you called me the Giant Slayer?
05:35I had no choice.
05:37I had to.
05:37Hey, we can all give ourselves nicknames.
05:39I tried to make mine big for free, but didn't catch on for some reason.
05:45All right, who wants to win $5,000 for their charity?
05:48I like to call this one Get Rich or Try Ryman.
05:52And here's how it's going to go down.
05:55Two at a time, you'll step up to my rhyme line, ready for a head-to-head word battle.
06:03Well, no, I'm a Snoop Dogg fan.
06:06That's about as close as I come to, you know, to rapping.
06:09I'll give you a starter word like cat, boat, or love, and then you'll need to volley rhyming lines back
06:15and forth.
06:18Perfect.
06:19I can rhyme all day, every day.
06:21I'm like, that's my job.
06:23If you freeze up, repeat a rhyme, or simply lose your flow, then you're out.
06:29We'll play this in rounds.
06:30The winner moving on tournament style until ultimately we're left with one rhyming champion.
06:36All right, who's ready to lose themselves in the music?
06:39Let's go.
06:41You know, I've got lots of teenagers, and every time we do road trips, I've got to listen to them
06:47having those battles in the back of the car.
06:52All right, your starter word is beans.
06:58When you're ready.
06:59I am so sick of eating goddamn beans.
07:03That's the only way we have to get any beans.
07:06Oh, damn.
07:08He cleans.
07:11Yeah, and Nick's is...
07:15Nah, fuck.
07:17That's all I had.
07:19Holy moly, I am a loser.
07:23This is a loser, this is a lead, y'all food.
07:25Wrapping is not a viable career option for me post-Shortland Street.
07:30Oh, no, the rain is so cold.
07:33Porsche's socks, they're so dirty, there's mould.
07:36Mould in my socks?
07:38Oh, no, I want to go.
07:39Polly had yarns, she always had something to tell.
07:44He knows he's done.
07:46Georgia just steamrolls me, and I have to try again tomorrow.
07:50Who wants to come in here and be host?
07:53You know, Bree's told us that to even up the numbers, she's part of the competition.
07:58There's no way that I really want to go up against Bree.
08:03Here's Frank Bunce, he looks like my beach.
08:07Timing is not Frank's forte.
08:10I'm just waiting for...
08:11But he's not, he just likes to teach.
08:14I wander around, some people...
08:16Ah, sorry.
08:18I surprised myself, I don't know where that came from.
08:20But it worked, got me through.
08:25Ooh, god damn, that's nice.
08:28Ooh!
08:29Oh my gosh, she's really nice!
08:31Ah!
08:32That made me sick!
08:34Georgia, tell me, where is your sand?
08:37Oh, no, it fell right through my hand.
08:41Damn, damn, damn, damn.
08:43Frank is getting all the old man advantages.
08:46We're like, we don't care that he's out of time, that he's missing the beat.
08:50What a love, look at this land!
08:52Oh my goodness!
08:53Oh my goodness!
08:54Look, go!
08:55Oh no!
09:00What do they say?
09:01That saying looks like pride comes before a fall.
09:06Frank, I can't see, pride's going through!
09:09You know, if we got rid of Georgia, it turns out she wasn't much of a magician after all, was
09:13she?
09:13Couldn't conjure up anything, but that's what confusion does to you.
09:17Anyway, I'm going in with the same tactic in the final with Nix.
09:23Are you guys ready?
09:25Frank, your starting word is breathe.
09:29Breathe?
09:30Ooh!
09:32Okay.
09:35I wouldn't mind seeing big breathe.
09:42Where has this Frank been?
09:45Who are you?
09:46Hey, you'll have to check out their goddamn name.
09:52Uh, uh, one, two, three.
09:56Oh, goddamn.
09:57Looks like a flea.
10:02I'm going to climb up the next big tree.
10:05Ooh, I see.
10:07Ooh.
10:09Just like me.
10:12What are we doing?
10:13What are we doing, Brie?
10:16I'm going to say Nix is out.
10:18Frank!
10:21Who would have thought the old guy won the rapping competition?
10:25You know what, Frank?
10:27Always happy to get the girls out for charity, so you're welcome, mate.
10:30Five grand going to your charity.
10:32Can you tell us who that is?
10:33A local charity called My Lighthouse out in Pukekohe.
10:37You know, times are tough, and a lot of people, a lot of families are suffering through no fault of
10:41their own.
10:42They just aid families in medical issues, financial, counselling.
10:46It's so many areas, and it's just a hand up for families struggling.
10:50So I thought, it sounds like a lot.
10:54Winning money to be able to help other people is so awesome.
10:58So a lot of good comes out of charity challenges.
11:02Guys, I think it's time to head back to your kai-nga, and get dry as you can, because that
11:06face-off is just around the corner.
11:08We'll see you there.
11:09Off you go.
11:10There you go.
11:11Oh, my God.
11:14Holy hell.
11:17I went down to the undies.
11:27Oh.
11:29It's like a movie day, but without a movie.
11:31Yeah.
11:32Tell us some stories, Louie.
11:33Okay.
11:34Is there an item of food that's like a top five thing you've eaten in your life?
11:40Oh, Louie, always with the perfect question for any occasion.
11:44Grease and an octopus.
11:46An octopus.
11:46On a sunny day, looking out at the water.
11:50I couldn't ever be there.
11:51What about you, Frank?
11:52What's your thing?
11:53This dish that my mother used to make.
11:55It's a Nuann dish.
11:57My mother is Nuann.
11:59She came to New Zealand when she was a young girl.
12:02It was obviously her parents that made the move to better their lives and to, you know,
12:07give their children, you know, more of a chance.
12:10Did she come out with her whole family?
12:13Like a lot of the islanders that came to better themselves and to get work and steady work
12:19and, you know, try and do the best for their family.
12:22We didn't have a lot, but we had a great life.
12:24And it's not until, you know, later in life that you really get to appreciate what your
12:28parents actually sacrificed for you.
12:32Do you still have your mum, Frank?
12:34No, no.
12:35She went about 10 years ago now.
12:40My father died early.
12:42He died when he was 55 of a heart attack.
12:46Now that I'm this age and you think 55 is too young, way too young.
12:50Because he worked, like, two full-time jobs at the same time.
12:53No wonder that he struggled like he did.
12:56My name's the same, didn't go to the hospital, didn't tell no one that she needed to.
13:01I miss them, you know, a lot.
13:04You know, my mother's been gone 10 years and she was the person that held all of the family
13:08together every, you know, ups and downs.
13:11So often I find that matriarchs like that hold everything together.
13:17We were there with my mother when she died.
13:19My father died by himself.
13:22That's the hard part.
13:25He kind of died alone, you know, and he shouldn't have.
13:28If I could spend time again, I'm sure my mother would understand.
13:33I'd go with my father and just tell him that.
13:39You know, how much we loved him and how much, yeah, we appreciated what he did.
13:47If I had that chance again, you know, I'd take it without, without, without fail.
13:54Yeah, like those, those poets in our life, they're not, they're not here for it, but, you know.
14:01Don't leave things left unsaid, eh?
14:03It's, man, such a lesson.
14:07You've got a knack, Louis, with people.
14:09Ask good questions, you know, he's, he's a real.
14:13He's brought us all together as well, I reckon.
14:16The more time we spend together, the more we're starting to hear the most incredible stories about our lives outside
14:24of this.
14:25The most beautiful part about this experience is just getting to be across someone and you around a fire, hearing
14:32your story.
14:38I wonder what our thing's going to be today.
14:41Hey, guys, what are we whispering about?
14:45Every time we lose a player, it's very sad.
14:48Oh, come on, you're not that sad.
14:51The moment that Ben left, I think it solidified Rhea being part of the alliance as well,
14:58because we were unsure where she stood with Ben and if her and Ben had an alliance.
15:02I wonder what today will hold.
15:04Go, go home.
15:07The four of us gals have had a chance to kind of chat about, you know, when we get into
15:11the face-off,
15:11let's help each other if we can, so that it gives us a chance at having that power to choose
15:15in the elimination tonight.
15:17You would have thought I'd be the last of them.
15:22I know.
15:23I know.
15:25The more that we can knock out the males, the better chance that we have of getting three of us
15:30into the finals.
15:33It might be time to put your plan into action.
15:37I just hope your plan includes a good, bloody raincoat.
15:51This sucks.
15:57I just want to be inside.
15:58I was perfectly parked up, in and out of naps, having a chat, a hot water, some rice and beans.
16:04I never would have thought that would be the best option given any circumstance.
16:09Oh, my God.
16:11I never want it to be cold again.
16:13The weather is atrocious.
16:16It is driving rain.
16:18It is freezing cold.
16:21Woo!
16:23Woo!
16:24Woo!
16:26What a day to play some games, eh?
16:31Holy Toledo.
16:34Rain, hail or shine, we press on.
16:37Know my hooking way to another individual face-off.
16:41Who here thrives in the rain?
16:45Who here's wet down to their undies?
16:48Yeah.
16:49Yeah.
16:49I tell you what, the far north, she turns it on, doesn't she?
16:54Can you see?
16:54I can't hear a thing.
16:57Should we jump into it?
16:59Yeah.
16:59Who wants to know the rules?
17:00Yeah!
17:00Okay, for this challenge, you must build an eight-letter word on a table.
17:05Simple, right?
17:07Not quite.
17:08The table is tippy and you must hold a rope the entire time to stop the table from falling.
17:14One at a time, you must collect your lettered blocks from the rear table.
17:19If at any point your table falls, you must pick up the blocks and return them to the rear table
17:24and begin again.
17:25First person to complete their puzzle and have it standing for 10 seconds wins.
17:31The winner will select two people to face off in tonight's elimination battle, where one of you will go home
17:36missing out on your chance at $100,000 for your charity.
17:40I am so determined to try and win this so that I can be in a position to decide on
17:46the elimination.
17:47All the other girls feel the same way, so we're just going into this and trying our darndest.
17:51And as always, guys, I've got a little something-something to sweeten the deal, especially in this rain.
17:57Who here likes butter?
17:58Me!
17:59Who here likes chicken?
18:01Me!
18:01Oh, you're going to love this.
18:03It's a full of chicken!
18:08That's right, this kiwi favourite.
18:10A little bit spicy, a little bit creamy, naan bread included, and your guys' favourite, rice.
18:18It's got it all.
18:20Who thinks that's worth playing for?
18:21Me, absolutely.
18:23All right, let's do it!
18:24Yeah, let's go!
18:26The prospect of the rain and the weather is daunting,
18:28but also it's like, well, we're here, let's just get into it.
18:31You know, that kind of attitude, which is quite fun as well.
18:35And it also might feel quite epic.
18:38All right!
18:40Everyone ready for the individual fight song?
18:42Yeah!
18:47All players need to figure out their eight-letter word.
18:51Once they have it, they can build it on their tippy table.
18:54T-R-E-A-S-U-R-E?
19:01Dresha.
19:02That's got to be right.
19:11Ria!
19:12Ria!
19:12Frank have their first block!
19:13Give me the feel for the balance of their table!
19:18I'm starting to feel a bit nervous because I feel like there's moves being made that I'm not a part
19:25of.
19:25Really, if I don't win this, I have no idea what way the elimination will go.
19:42The ropes are wet!
19:44Fingers will be cold!
19:46It makes the grip very much harder!
19:49This is where it's going to come down to this.
19:54Not your forehead, your brain.
19:57Ria racing out with this head!
20:05I don't know how she's doing it.
20:07I'm spelling treasure wrong.
20:09I started spelling treasure wrong on the second block.
20:15This is where the lack of, like, variety of food is coming into play, where I'm just full of beans
20:21and rice.
20:25Frank and Ria both put four blocks on their table!
20:29This is a pretty important face-off.
20:32I haven't been in a position of power.
20:34Praying they don't fall!
20:38This will give me a little bit of say, a little bit of sway in the game.
20:42I'd like to take this one out.
20:45Frank's block's full!
20:46He needs to start again!
20:49Go back.
20:51Now I need to slow down.
20:52The rate at which I'm going back.
20:54The faster you go back, the more you jerk on the rope.
20:59Wind's kind of pounding the blocks.
21:01And every block higher the tower gets.
21:04You know, it's sort of teetering on the edge.
21:09Ria's blocks fall!
21:12But I am not dissuaded.
21:16I start again.
21:19Nick's in the lead now!
21:21Right now I'm supporting Nick's, because she's the closest to getting us all out of here.
21:25Nick's has been going slow and steady from the very start.
21:29Now it pays off!
21:32You've got rain just pouring down on you.
21:36But just like everything else, hey, things might not be in your favour.
21:41But man, you get in there and you give it everything you've got.
21:47The weather's testing my patience.
21:49And then this border starts to test my patience.
21:52It's really hard.
21:53And bear in mind, the rain is just smashing me.
21:56The wind's smashing me.
21:58Oh, oh, no.
22:01Zion's blocks drop!
22:02It's smashing down my tower.
22:04It's not going well.
22:08Ria and Frank!
22:10Four blocks!
22:12Call back up to Nick's!
22:14Louie follows close by!
22:16So does Liv!
22:19It was at this point before where Frank's blocks fell!
22:24They fall again!
22:26I'm frustrated at myself because I'm telling myself what I need to do, but I haven't quite
22:30got the time to do it.
22:32So I've got to really slow down.
22:35This is not my challenge.
22:37Every time I stack the blocks, I would just forget about it and walk back to the other blocks.
22:43And it would topple over.
22:45Louie's blocks drop!
22:47Can Ria keep her blocks standing this time?
22:51As if the rain wasn't enough, the wind's picking up as well!
23:00Nick's with five blocks!
23:03She needs three more!
23:05I'm so slow, and I'm just staring at my letters, and I'm just so slow.
23:13Nick's tower hasn't taken a tumble this whole challenge!
23:17Ria places her stick!
23:19She needs two more blocks!
23:22Ria and Nick's, I just have such a steady hand, and they're slow, methodical, just working
23:30their way back, working their way forward, putting another block.
23:35Love has five blocks on the board!
23:40Ria heading out with her seventh block!
23:50Ria places her seventh block!
23:53I just have to keep cool, take it slow, take it easy, and just focus, like laser, laser focus
24:02on that platform.
24:07Just like that, George's tower tumbles!
24:10All good, G!
24:13Ria, going back for the team, let's hope she doesn't spill it.
24:18Ria grabbing her final block!
24:20If she can place it, make her way back to the table, she will win this challenge!
24:26Go on, Ria!
24:28Winning butter chicken!
24:30But more importantly, the power to put two people up for elimination tonight!
24:35The rain is really coming in now!
24:46Ria places her last block!
24:49All she has to do is get back to the table!
24:52Nick's going back to her final block!
24:55And she'll get that block and get it out on her table before Ria gets back!
25:05Oh, I can't watch!
25:07It's teetering!
25:10Ria, so close!
25:11Can she make it?
25:14Nick's about to place her final block!
25:17Can Ria keep her tower standing?
25:20She needs to get back and learn with her table!
25:24It is neck and neck!
25:26Ria, a step away!
25:30The next catcher!
25:32Next close to her table!
25:37Ria!
25:38We're going to show her!
25:46I feel really proud of myself, especially given the weather, as I don't thrive in cold conditions.
25:54Nice, Ria!
25:55Well done!
25:56I'm glad that one of my friends, someone who I've been doing this competition with since day one,
26:02since all the turmoil and all the changing of teams, she gets to experience what it feels like
26:07to have an individual in, so I'm stoked for her.
26:10Congratulations, Ria, your first individual face-off win.
26:13That was pretty to watch.
26:15Thank you so much.
26:16Butter chicken has never felt so good.
26:19Speaking of that butter chicken, of course I'm going to let you invite two other people.
26:23Who are they going to be?
26:24I'm going to take my mates, Louis and Zion.
26:28We didn't eat the meal yesterday.
26:29It's the first time, so we've got some catching up to do.
26:33All right, lock it in.
26:34Zion and Louis, enjoy that butter chicken.
26:37You've also earned yourself the right to choose two people to put up for elimination.
26:41Think long and hard about that decision.
26:44Everyone, time to head back to your kaienga.
26:46Good luck getting warm and Jaden will see you later for elimination.
26:49Good luck.
26:50Thanks.
26:50See you guys.
26:52Well done.
26:59Oh my God, it's out there!
27:04It's the perfect reward situation.
27:06Oh my God, it's hot!
27:09I've always imagined me, Ria and Zion would go all the way to the end and we get to enjoy
27:13the best butter chicken I've ever had.
27:16Seriously, we have been eating well.
27:19Us three at least.
27:21I know.
27:22All right.
27:22What are you thinking for elimination, Ria?
27:29Well, how are you guys feeling?
27:31I was thinking I might put you guys forward.
27:40The game has shifted.
27:43Who people want to see at the end has changed and my most important ally has different plans
27:52for me.
27:59I was thinking I might put you guys forward.
28:08Louis could take out this whole competition.
28:11I think for the female alliance to continue to flourish, we need to get Louis home today.
28:17How does that sit with you?
28:18Because I'd just...
28:21I'd love women to get into the final, as you know.
28:24I just hope that they understand.
28:27But also, I know that Zion has this advantage.
28:31He still could pull that out at some point.
28:33Thank you for being honest and respectfully.
28:36Yeah.
28:37Got to beat each other at some point.
28:38Exactly, bro.
28:39If there were two people that would just thrive and love it, it would be us.
28:43You know, that's my bro over there, you know?
28:46I know.
28:46One thing I've always admired about Zion in this game is he wants to dance.
28:50And he wants to beat you straight up.
28:52No tricks, no games.
28:54Always cool, calm and collected.
28:56And if you're out, you don't need to show.
28:57And I think the way I honour that is I get in the ring and give him my best and
29:02hopefully send him home.
29:04But you also have that advantage that you can play if you don't want to.
29:07Yeah.
29:07So I just thought I'd bring you guys here, see how you're feeling.
29:10Because obviously you can play that if you want.
29:12And then I can make a different choice.
29:14You can play it if you don't want to vest me, bro.
29:18I have this very powerful advantage in my pocket.
29:22I can save two players from elimination.
29:25I can guarantee myself at least another day in this competition.
29:31Louis is a very competitive player and so am I.
29:34He's a threat in this competition.
29:39I need to toss up when I want to use it.
29:43And the best man win.
29:44And it seems all eyes are on Zion's massive advantage.
29:50I definitely think that the spanner and the works are Zion's advantage.
29:55He's got today and tomorrow to play it.
29:57I'm always worried when you go into an elimination arena and not knowing if the plan is going to change.
30:02And I'm pretty sure he wants to save Frank.
30:05And himself, which leaves us.
30:08Potentially with Louis and then one of us.
30:12I don't know how we approach that.
30:16Oy, oy, oy, oy, oy, oy.
30:18Oy, oy, oy, indeed.
30:20And if that spanner isn't enough, here's another one.
30:23You know how earlier I said rain, hail or shine we press on?
30:27Well, I kind of meant like normal rain.
30:29And for safety reasons, we need to postpone elimination.
30:32This is one time where the show must not go on.
30:37So batten down the hatches and grab some buckets because it's going to be a rough night.
30:51Rough night last night with all that rain.
30:53How are we feeling this morning?
30:55Oh, goodness me.
30:56It was tough, wasn't it?
30:57Yeah.
30:58All that rain.
30:58Didn't get a lot of sleep.
31:00And now we're basically, we hunkered down.
31:03And now we've just got to clean it all up.
31:05But it's like a new beginning.
31:06Fresh start.
31:06Yeah.
31:06Cleaning everything out.
31:08Cleaning out all the sand.
31:09Sun's out.
31:11Guns out.
31:11It's a new day.
31:12Sun's out, guns out.
31:13Sun's out, guns out.
31:13It's almost like a tornado went through our camp.
31:19Well, good to see you're all still here.
31:21Head count, please.
31:23That was crazy.
31:24Honestly?
31:27It came out of nowhere.
31:29It's the only footy I bought.
31:32Every single thing we have is wet.
31:35It was rain like I've never seen before.
31:37It was quite scary, actually.
31:38The waves, the rain, loy.
31:41Especially sleeping in the outdoors.
31:44I'm getting the sense that it was kind of...
31:48Crazy.
31:49Crazy.
31:50Crazy.
31:51Crazy.
31:51It's just pretty wild.
31:52But we've got important things to finish this morning.
31:55I'm not sure who's up for elimination.
31:58Well, I think it's time we find out.
32:10Walking into elimination today, it's so weird because, firstly, it's the morning.
32:15It's completely different.
32:19It would be a smart move for us as women to try and take out one of the guys and
32:25one of
32:25the strong players, especially as we're heading towards the end.
32:28Either we're going to have to put them in now or we're going to have to face them later
32:36on.
32:37Tēnā koutou tēnei ata.
32:39Welcome to elimination.
32:42Crazy night last night, huh?
32:44Oh, yeah.
32:45How's everyone feeling?
32:46Nuts stuff.
32:48How was it for you, Liv?
32:49I was, um, rainy and cold, but no.
32:54They'd be like, oh, this is wet.
32:56Oh, and this is wet.
32:57And it was quite scary.
32:59Like, I wasn't sure if the hut was going to get swept away.
33:02How's it looking this morning?
33:04We've tidied it up quite well.
33:05I was so glad the sun's out.
33:06Well, awesome.
33:07As you all know, whoever loses this battle will be going from the island and the game.
33:13But before the battle begins, we need to find out who's going up.
33:15Ria, haere mai.
33:24Ria, you're in a slightly different position from, you know, when our sewer's had this
33:28power, you've had a night to dwell on this.
33:31Does that time feed into your decision-making at all?
33:35Uh, Jaden, my decision was locked in last night and the time to think overnight hasn't
33:41changed it.
33:45You know, this is always a tough call, but we all know that from here on in, someone
33:50we love is going to go home every day.
33:52So I just wanted to put up a fair battle.
33:57Uh, and today that battle will be between Zion and Louis.
34:04Zion has taken out all the other giants.
34:06So, you know, at the moment, I think as amazing as Zion is at the challenges, I feel like Louis
34:11is a bigger threat in the competition as a whole.
34:15Zion, you have an advantage.
34:16Do you wish to play it?
34:18Louis is a threat in this competition, a big threat.
34:21But I could really ruin these plans and make Ria scramble and send the calmness amongst
34:30the group into chaos.
34:47Zion, you have an advantage.
34:49Do you wish to play it?
34:51It doesn't get any easier, but I've taken risks in this competition.
35:02And I think I'm going to take one more.
35:05We've joked about it.
35:06Me and the bro going head to head, we'll give each other a battle and whether I win or lose,
35:10I'm happy either way.
35:13Louis, first time in the elimination arena.
35:16Yeah, I guess it's just my time.
35:19Zion's one of the strongest players left in this game.
35:22So I just woke him up every hour.
35:26No, I'm fit to go.
35:31Not feeling confident going into elimination zone is the giant slayer for a reason.
35:37And he's beat everyone in there and I think he's going to beat me.
35:41Well, here are your rules.
35:44You will each have a pole and a ball.
35:46You must balance that ball on that pole.
35:49Every two minutes you will add a new section, making that pole longer, shakier.
35:53And even tougher to hold.
35:57First person to drop the ball, loses.
36:00Goes home missing out on the $100,000 grand prize for their charity.
36:04Zion.
36:05Louis.
36:07Take a mile.
36:12I'm expecting a good match up here because Zion has proven to slay the giants.
36:20And Louis is the last giant standing.
36:23So this is going to be great.
36:26Louis, remind us who you're playing for.
36:29Jaden, I'm playing for an organisation called Te Orahou.
36:32They help rangatahi achieve all their dreams and aspirations, whatever they are in life.
36:37Awesome, brother.
36:38This guy's done his so many times I could probably do it for him.
36:40You want to try it?
36:43Zion, who are you playing for?
36:44Jaden, I'm playing for Kuru Care.
36:45They help seriously ill and disabled children go on trips around the world, trips that they
36:50never thought they could ever go on.
36:52Awesome, brother.
36:56Lui, Zion, kua rite.
36:59Hai.
37:03Ti mata.
37:10Two minutes begins now.
37:15We have the giant slayer up against the giant.
37:20Who will take this one out?
37:25I'm nervous.
37:26Of course you are, because there's a chance that you go home.
37:28But I have to lock in.
37:30I have to be confident.
37:31I have to apply the mindset that I have the whole game.
37:34This win is picked up as soon as the comp started.
37:39The Titae Tokido gods on your side, eh?
37:41Yeah.
37:41Tafiri Mate said he's going to get you a ball.
37:46At this level, you can get a false sense of security.
37:49It feels easy to balance that ball.
37:51As soon as those sections go on, it immediately becomes harder.
37:55All right.
37:56Louis Zion, get ready to add another piece.
37:58You now have 15 seconds to add that section.
38:02It's really relaxed at the start, but the difficulty increases huge with each stick.
38:07Ten, nine, eight.
38:11I really think the person that loses won't be because of endurance.
38:15It'll just be a loss of focus for a second.
38:17Four, three, two, one.
38:22Both men have their section added.
38:25They can no longer touch the section above.
38:27I'm feeling in control.
38:29The second one, I just feel like I have a better grip of the pole.
38:33The ball isn't moving around as much.
38:38Zion's ball rolls.
38:39He saves it.
38:41I hope each one I add feels stronger and stronger.
38:45We're here for another two minutes, and then they will add another section.
38:51I think that Zion has got every possibility of taking out Louis.
38:57I worry about the wind because it's pretty strong.
39:00It's one of those challenges where you just have to do your very best
39:03and hope the other guy makes a mistake.
39:05All right.
39:06You can add your new section.
39:0915, 14, 13, 12, 11, 10.
39:16I feel really relaxed, actually, being in the elimination.
39:19It's either I win and I move on,
39:22or I lose and I go home to my wonderful family.
39:27Three, two, one.
39:32The difference between one and three is great.
39:38All the little things you love about your kids,
39:41seeing them in the morning, tuddling them,
39:44seeing them off to koanga,
39:45it's very, very hard to be away from my family.
39:50There's a wind up there.
39:53There's eaves of wind.
39:55There's nothing I can do about it now.
39:58But my mum and dad raised me to always try my best,
40:02and if you lose, that's all good.
40:04You should never give up.
40:09Zion's pole wobbles.
40:14I'm looking at it, looking above,
40:15and I'm struggling to see the ball,
40:18and I just have to hold it straight.
40:20I do feel in some control.
40:23I'm hanging on.
40:28He saves his ball.
40:29He's been through this adversity before.
40:39Zion's pole wobbles.
40:49Zion's ball falls.
40:51Louis wins.
40:52Zion going home.
40:58You always have to lose one,
41:01and I don't mind it being to Louis.
41:03He's a terrific, terrific bloke.
41:05He's played a big part in changing my perspective on the way I do things.
41:09All your stories and that, like, seriously,
41:12it's actually just changed everything.
41:13I feel immediately sad saying goodbye to my mate.
41:18It's been a real privilege to get to know that dude.
41:21He's got real big things ahead of him.
41:26Zion, you came into this game unsure of what to expect,
41:30and then in that first team face-off,
41:32immediately proved yourself as a top contender.
41:37You've come into this elimination arena
41:40and succeeded not once, not twice,
41:42but three times against huge players in this game.
41:46You've played a game that is definitely worthy of a report, my friend.
41:51Any final words?
41:52Thanks, Jaden.
41:53Yeah, it's been the time of my life.
41:58What a ride.
41:59What a ride.
42:00Coming onto the island,
42:01I thought we were here to have a laugh,
42:03play some games.
42:05But it's deeper than that.
42:07Yeah, I just want to say to you guys,
42:09you're so special.
42:10Seriously, what you've done for me,
42:12not a lot of time,
42:13it's just been amazing,
42:15kind, compassionate,
42:16and understanding as well.
42:19Honestly, I'll remember this for the rest of my life.
42:21It exceeded all my expectations,
42:22and I think I leave as a better person.
42:26Zion,
42:28your time, my treasure island,
42:29has come to an end.
42:31Haere rā,
42:32Tūrou Hawaiki.
42:34Say your goodbyes and head on out.
42:39He's such a nice person,
42:41and he's blossomed.
42:42I miss having you around, bro.
42:44Thanks, Jaden.
42:45It's been a pleasure.
42:46You're a good man.
42:47I think Zion now has more self-belief.
42:51He's kind of wise,
42:52you know, beyond his years,
42:53he's that type of person.
42:55Go well, everyone.
42:56Go hard.
42:57Thanks, Jaden.
43:01I eliminated some pretty big names,
43:03and some pretty big names
43:04that a lot of people would thought would go on
43:06and win this competition,
43:07or at least be in the final three.
43:09The giant slayer.
43:10Yeah, I hope it sticks.
43:21Louis, congratulations.
43:22You have taken out the giant slayer.
43:26But you have also won yourself
43:29this, my friend.
43:31That is a big one.
43:32I would keep it to yourself.
43:36So we didn't get Louis out that time,
43:37but Zion is gone,
43:38and he was a massive player.
43:41Just six of you remain on Treasure Island.
43:45Every day you play,
43:46one step closest to victory
43:48and the all-important treasure.
43:50Head back to your kainga.
43:51Rest up.
43:53Hea popo.
43:55Thanks, Jaden.
43:55Thanks, Jaden.
43:56Frank made top six with one knee.
44:00We really need to get rid of Louis.
44:04He's just such a strong player.
44:10He's massively in our way.
44:18Next time.
44:20That means one of us is in the finals.
44:22The biggest problem is that I'm not a wahine.
44:25In the battle of the sixes,
44:27two guys are now the targets.
44:30Weapons are drawn.
44:32This is the most powerful thing in play right now.
44:35And the tactics get down and dirty.
44:40Seems like a few people openly working together.
44:43I thought it was an individual challenge.
44:45Yeah, we want to win.
44:47And?
