00:00Previously on Celebrity Treasure Island, the team swap saw new alliances form.
00:06I'm gonna 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.
00:21Louie takes out the first individual challenge.
00:25We're all on our own now, hey?
00:27I don't think we're at that stage.
00:28Louie's still a team person.
00:30But then the question is, which team?
00:32What team? Yeah.
00:33And Louie had just one answer.
00:35Original Tahu, you'll be going against each other tonight.
00:39Georgia wins this challenge.
00:41They're all 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.
00:58Altered the
00:58You!
01:14Well, none of us can only play those fish.
01:16Hear me andrea.
01:17And there's everyone here in you.
01:18They're all fun.
01:21Certainly the72 metabolite.
01:21You're fantastic!
03:12Hmm.
03:13Are you sure about that, Louie?
03:15Charades.
03:16Mm.
03:17Mm.
03:19I don't know.
03:20Oh, no.
03:21I can't find the sock treasure.
03:23Mm.
03:26Same word.
03:29The ear.
03:30The hearing.
03:32Oh, the sound.
03:33Woo!
03:33The sound of music!
03:34Yay!
03:35I got it!
03:35I got it!
03:36That was so 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 the code for that.
03:46A saying?
03:47Yeah.
03:48Like, the crazy thing about Georgia is, like, I have, like, listened to her songs before
03:52auditions.
03:52So it's just, like, it's, like, all these little threads that are, like, so beautiful and it's
03:56so nice to then 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,
04:02like, connect with people like Nyx.
04:04And perhaps it's time to check in with your old mate and the only remaining female yet
04:09to join your alliance.
04:11The only question mark I have at this point around getting women to the final is we need
04:16to bring Ria in on this alliance and kind of formalise and make this, like, an official
04:21thing because, you know, Ben and her have a relationship outside this game and I don't
04:26really know if she's, like, keen to be a part of what we want to do or if she's already
04:32got 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've missed our window.
04:45Breakfast ready.
04:51Ooh, well, this is nice and awkward.
04:55Sorry, Georgia.
04:57Hopefully, you'll get another opportunity later.
04:59But for now, it's time to get it here, you lot.
05:04Hey, Bree.
05:05Looking good, guys.
05:07Looking good.
05:08I'm so excited for another charity challenge.
05:10We walk up the hill and then there are these boxes with these kind of, like, snorkel things
05:15coming out of them.
05:16No idea what's going on.
05:17Do you have a licence to have that weapon out, Ben?
05:23Sorry.
05:23Sorry, everybody.
05:23Talking about the rig in general.
05:25Sorry, everybody.
05:25Look at the rig on her.
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.
05:44You'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.
06:00All right, it's time to see who has BSE.
06:04Big smell energy.
06:05Let's do it.
06:07Big smell energy.
06:11All right, first round.
06:12Ben, Louie and Zion.
06:14Are you ready?
06:15Ready.
06:16Ready.
06:17Sniff!
06:23Tuna.
06:23Dirty nappy.
06:25Mine smells just not coming up.
06:26Not dirty nappy, not tuna.
06:29Louie 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.
06:37And 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, do you want to swap?
06:49Louie thinks he's got nothing.
06:52There's nothing coming up this next one.
06:55I can smell it straight away.
06:58Seaweed.
06:59Not seaweed.
07:00Garlic.
07:01Garlic.
07:01Louie got it.
07:02Moving on to the next round.
07:06All right, round two.
07:08Georgia versus next versus Ria.
07:11Go!
07:13Cinnamon.
07:14Whoa!
07:15Ria, that's it.
07:16I'll take it.
07:17Cinnamon was the answer.
07:20I only made it for about 10 seconds before Ria was like, it's cinnamon.
07:25It's like, awesome.
07:26I'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.
07:40I 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.
07:48Check the caves.
07:49Luke says you're good to go.
07:51All right.
07:52Smell.
07:57This is like fish.
07:59It does.
07:59What'd you say?
08:00Tuna?
08:01We've got it straight away.
08:03Going through to the next round.
08:05Oh.
08:08All right, finals time.
08:11It's best of three between Lev, Louie and Ria.
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 Ria's mouth.
08:27Smokes him at me.
08:27Whoa!
08:29Ria 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, Lev goes...
08:43Dirty socks.
08:44Wow!
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 Ria 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!
09:08Sniff!
09:10Soap!
09:11Soap!
09:13Soap!
09:13Shampoo!
09:14No!
09:15Conditioner!
09:16What?
09:17Sunscreen!
09:19Ria gets it done!
09:20$5,000!
09:21Go into Ria's charity!
09:24What a final!
09:27Ria, well done.
09:28$5,000 going to your charity.
09:31Can you give us the rundown about where that money's going?
09:33So 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 types.
09:41Every cent counts, so 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 kayanga 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...
10:24We'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, we're out.
10:43Man.
10:45Man mountain.
10:48Oh, no.
10:50Well, it was fun when it lasted.
10:55All right, 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,
11:07like, strong dudes in this 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 talked to Georgia and she kind of says, like, we should have a conversation with Rhea
11:26and see, you know, 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 four.
11:51I can see the cogs turning, but I'm not entirely sure what she's thinking.
11:54It 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, there are so many different things to think about at
13:01this point regarding 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.
13:10And 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 or 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, the loyalty to Takapu versus maybe teaming up with
13:35the girls.
13:36Obviously, it's like a weird position to be in.
13:41But, you know, we came into this team Takapu and just get as many of us to the merge as
13:46possible.
13:47And 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 and, like, the bond that I had with Georgia on those
14:03couple of days as well.
14:04I also feel like I've, like, connected quite hard with Nick as well.
14:08Yes.
14:09It's obviously a complicated position because we've been Takapu this whole way and we have a, you know, loyalty to,
14:16like, 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 agree.
14:27I think, like, in my gut, it feels it's the right thing.
14:31I think so.
14:34I feel like I sort of need to let Ben know that.
14:39Do you think?
14:40I don't know.
14:41It's kind of tricky because in terms of this alliance, the smartest thing to do is, like, to try and
14:46get rid of the strongest player in terms of the men.
14:49And that's totally Ben.
14:50Do you think you'll talk to Georgia and Lex before that?
14:54Or, um, I just feel like I don't want to, um, I don't know.
15:00Portia and I decided to form an alliance and we intended that to carry through to the end.
15:05When we asked Ben to join our alliance, I said just until the merge.
15:10I'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, see if he
15:18is still wanting to team up in any way.
15:22We need to be careful and just figure out how we make it work.
15:31Ben's coming.
15:32OK.
15:35It would always be a real benefit to have his protection because I can see him winning so many of
15:41these individual challenges.
15:43But at the same time, if I was to, you know, plough on with my mission of getting women into
15:49the final, that'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.
16:03Oh, I 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, it's this moment now.
16:24Oh my gosh.
16:25It doesn't get any easier.
16:29What the hell are these hanging structures going to have us laid up like Jesus?
16:36No, I can't put that in there, eh?
16:43No.
16:47No...
16:48No, my hide and money, to the individual face off.
16:51I want to know who here feels like they really need to win this today?
16:55oh pretty much everyone other than you louie oh ben has shown that he is the best physical player
17:06left in the game i'm confident that if ben takes out today's challenge it's kahu on kahu again in
17:12the elimination arena we're getting to the pointy end of this game now and obviously every single
17:17one of these challenges counts what do you guys think about when you head into one of these
17:21challenges georgia i mean obviously food would help but i'm also feeling like you know nix and i
17:27are the only og kahu members left and so that's a pretty nerve-wracking feeling feels really important
17:34to win this today i feel like myself live or nix needs to be the one that wins this face
17:39off
17:39in order to have the upper hand who feels like they've got another gear no one wants to admit
17:46that right probably smart at this point in the game i'm thinking to myself do any of the other
17:52seven players think they can beat me at this the first endurance challenge that i ended up beating
17:57harrison at i was up there for over three quarters of an hour this is a very similar challenge clearly
18:03all right shall we jump into the widow let's do it for this challenge you will start inside the frame
18:08standing on small footpegs overhead you will hold on to two ropes after five minutes i will ask you to
18:13step down onto smaller footpegs forcing your arms to straight and overhead after another five minutes
18:19i will ask you to step down to the smallest footpegs there you will remain for as long as you
18:23can
18:24you must keep your hands on those ropes the whole time last person standing wins the winner will select
18:31two people to face off in tonight's elimination battle where one of you will go home missing out on
18:36your chance at a hundred thousand dollars for your chair how are we going to win some kind of hanging
18:45endurance challenge against the boys feel the tension building but also you want to know what else you're
18:53playing for especially georgia and i know camp life has been well rustic so this afternoon guys you'll enjoy a
19:02brief
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 charcuterie alone that's why it's charcuterie so you'll get
19:20to bring a friend with you all right who thinks that's worth playing for me well let's do it i've
19:26had a chat
19:27with the girls today i don't know what ria's up to i just don't know if she's fully like giving
19:33herself to this ovary alliance all right i'll give you 10 seconds to get into position and then we're
19:40into it everyone ready ready i still haven't had a chance to talk to ben but ben is gonna take
19:47this out
19:48hands down five four three two one and frank gets on just in the nick of time plan i feel
20:00all right
20:00arms are okay i've got a reasonably good grip and my pain threshold is is all right i think i
20:06could be
20:07be all right in this one
20:11frank's foot comes off he slips frank's out frank oh poor guy you know in terms of setting records in
20:19this place he does have a record now the shortest amount of time hanging on anything in this competition
20:24was it four seconds remember if a foot comes off the foot stall you're out
20:33you don't need to be up here as long as you can you just need to be up longer than
20:36everyone else
20:39georgia getting some blood back in those legs for all of us i think the biggest threat has been
20:44all of us see him as probably the strongest player remaining
20:49knicks swinging her arms around keeping the blood in them next dancing
20:56right you've got one more minute up here then i'm gonna ask you to step down to the next foot
21:02peg
21:21step down to the second layer you have 10 seconds when jaden was like go down to the next peg
21:27i was
21:28like okay this really hurts and i don't want to associate twilight with pain so i was like i'm not
21:32gonna that's not my mind palace anymore three two we're all set
21:40louis readjusting his feet i just have big feet and these notches are tiny i'm barely gripping the
21:47wood at all and it's just all just pain shooting through your heels your arch your toes anything you

21:58feet
21:58right been up here for two and a half minutes
22:01i can't tell if louis moving around because he's uncomfortable or he's actually fallen asleep
22:09imagine waking up and you're in the middle of this
22:16welcome to cti's house of pain
22:23louis steps down he is out of this challenge we now have six people remaining oh my god i beat

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
22:44the 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 pegs are so small every time i maneuver my feet into a position it's only a matter of seconds
23:06before
23:06the muscles and my calves and thighs start burning ben constantly shuffling those feet tell you what
23:17ben's in pain
23:18seven six five four three two one step down the clock's counting down i've only got a few
23:44more seconds to get my feet on those next pegs down three two one ben gets on just in the
23:52nick of time

24:06my right
24:06we're all still there we have three women two men who will take this out
24:18i'm really struggling with my feet i don't know how much longer i can hold but i'm trying to
24:24just take some like deep breaths allow my mind to not think about what's happening in my body i'm
24:30thinking about swimming in the ocean and just taking myself to that 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 are
24:51slipping i can't readjust i could see ben next to me and he's going to be there for another hour
24:55at least
24:56and there's no way i'm matching it high arms 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
25:34stay comfortable 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 are aching my feet are really sore but we just have
25:49to outhang ben we've got to outhang ben and we're waiting waiting waiting like who's going to be the
25:55next person to fall off the block and then i hear jayden call ben's foot came off he is out

26:23their power in this game i was so sure that ben was going to win this i have no idea

27:36myself i feel like my dad will watch this and feel really proud too ria she just gives the win
27:43to
27:44georgia ria has crossed over to the other camp that's her first shot and this moment right here
27:51has changed the trajectory of the whole game well they call it georgia endurance lines how about that
27:58mate
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 so a lovely relaxing afternoon with cheese
28:20and crackers and now i'm going to ask you who do you want to bring with you i would love
28:24to bring
28:24nicks i think just we haven't spent the last few days together obviously being separated just would
28:29been really nice to spend some time with my og gal oh my god i get to eat you know
28:36what i'm feeling
28:38generous i think you can pick one more person who's that person going to be my people-pleasing
28:45self struggles with this one
28:49love you want to come i would love to come that's okay i love gherkins
28:56there'll be plenty of gherkins for you there liv georgia also earned the power to put up two
29:01people in tonight's elimination battle think long and hard about who that's going to 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
29:14that power over to georgia without a fight is her saying it's time for us to start picking off the
29:20boys all right everyone head back to your kainga 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 than that before i might be going home tonight
29:44i just expected ben to just smoke us all right so did i i thought this is his game it's
29:50his pick
29:51today i think his feet were too big yeah yeah look like it a little bit
29:56i'm gutted because i did so well the last time we did a similar contest and now my head's going
30:01to be
30:01on the chopping block i'm pretty certain of it the last nine days i've eaten beans and rice
30:18oh my goodness me i am so happy
30:26i can't believe that the the three of us left at the end with three wahine i know that felt
30:33so good
30:35when ria got down i think just that moment there just changed the mindsets of every single person
30:42that was standing there now the game begins this is our opportunity to make a really strong move because i
30:51don't know if this opportunity is going to come around again for us all right georgia what are we
30:56going to do if we look at the maths currently it's for four of us versus four guys we have
31:02zion we've
31:04got frank we've got louie and we've got ben i feel like ben is the current biggest threat
31:10so then the question is who would take him out
31:15zion's taking out two of our strongest players i think zion is is very very a very strong player
31:22i just don't know where his head is sitting in terms of that varnish card if anyone could take our
31:27bennett's zion but at the same time we need to put louie in there because i feel like louie's a
31:35bigger
31:35threat than zion i think louie do you guys reckon that louie's kind of like the godfather
31:46for georgia and nix they're trying to reshape the alliances not being takapu and kahu and reshape
31:54them into tane and wahine i think you're bang on that is my one thing that i wrestle with in
32:03all of this
32:04is that i like i could never put louie up louie has been like my best mate and a huge
32:10part of my
32:11experience here yeah so punch it right through first like straight down yeah and then bring it
32:16down careful of your hand quickly that's a perfect kind of yeah whole hand yeah i feel like we have
32:23a
32:24almost sibling relationship oh no oh you made me laugh when i got your skin feels like an older brother
32:34i can't i can't find it in myself yet to put louie up i think this is the moment where
32:41i need to decide
32:43if i want to do this sorry no you apologize like i also just feel like
32:51in such a short amount of time i've made like crazy connections with you both as well so yeah yeah
33:00the thing that still makes me a bit on edge is just seeing how close live is with louie when
33:08you
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 live i think it'll be me and ben tonight if you fire that shot and you miss
33:23that's a risky move but uh you gotta be sure what you're doing because if you let ben back in
33:30and
33:30he's there to play tomorrow you know if you let me back in that's game on girls if they want
33:37to fire
33:37the first shot they better pull it off it's scary walking into elimination we didn't see nicks live
33:54in georgia and have a chance to chat plead our case coming up behind us so it's the complete unknown
34:05i just thought to myself prepare for the worst and the worst for me is going up against ben or
34:11louie
34:12welcome to elimination whoever loses this battle will be gone from the island
34:17and the game missing out on their chance at a hundred thousand dollars for their charity
34:21but before the battle begins we need to find out who's going up georgia come on up it's definitely
34:27feeling like a team decision it's feeling like it's the right decision and regardless of who
34:32ends up coming back we're losing a strong player in the game georgia who are you putting up first
34:41ben i'm going to be putting you up tonight you are what i would consider the strongest player in this
34:47game i don't want to be facing facing you if i manage to get to the end it's all good
34:53i appreciate
34:53that george and who will be going up against ben
35:07i'm gonna be putting you up tonight as well we're all sitting there waiting for zion to play his card
35:17and he doesn't play it if zion doesn't win this we come home with ben and louie
35:26it's all good it's all it's all part of the game georgia i know you have to do it thank
35:30you
35:30i always said for this advantage i wasn't going to use it today because
35:34you have threats in this game at the end of the day you have to beat them and if i
35:38don't beat them now
35:39i'm just delaying it for later on in the game ben zion third time each in the elimination arena
35:48for one of you this will be your last design the giant slayer gets a chance to add another notch
35:54to
35:54his belt and take down who i believe is the best player in the game all right battlers here are
36:02your
36:02rules you will have half an hour to build a tower using a pile of tiles you can win by
36:07being the first
36:08person to build your tower higher than the measuring stick or by having the highest tower
36:13after 30 minutes it needs to stand for 10 seconds if it does you win loser goes home missing out
36:19on
36:19the hundred thousand dollar grand prize for their charity ben zion take your marks oh looks like it's
36:26my time to tick off one more in the hit list big ben's coming down
36:34ben remind us of your charity jayden i'm playing for heart kids new zealand
36:38heart kids new zealand wraps 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
36:57ill children and disabled children go on trips around the world and live out their dreams so i'm
37:02more than happy to be helping them awesome zion all right ben zion kua rite hey ready
37:12both men have half an hour to build this tower i have a nine-year-old daughter at home i
37:19spend a lot
37:19of time building towers with blocks so i know a thing or two about this and what i do know
37:24is that given
37:25the conditions this tower is going to have to have a very wide base i'm very aware of this wind
37:30so
37:31i need this tower to have a strong foundation both men going with different strategies early
37:38that's dumb i've never built a tower before it can't be that hard i just have to make it tall
37:46and
37:47it not fall over like how hard can that be
37:53turns out it's very hard
37:56i know that this is a game of patience and precision trying to go too fast and too high
38:08too quickly is only going to result in the tower being blown over i just take my time putting each
38:14tile into place carefully making a large first layer zion putting a second layer on deciding to
38:22go straight up what would you do similar to being wide base zion i don't think he's got his base
38:33down
38:33as solid as he needs it to be
38:37so he's having a few more collapses i don't even think ben has had a collapse
38:44bloody way
38:50just like that zion's tower tumbles
38:54what have i done what have i done what have i done i've just put myself up on the chopping
38:58block
38:58ben's gonna come back i'm gonna go out tomorrow like
39:08ben on his fifth layer zion working on his foundation but anything can change
39:15you have 15 minutes left halfway
39:19ben's is here and zion's still like he's still way behind ben
39:34i'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
39:46ben's being really smart about this he has got to a point that he realizes zion can't possibly catch up
39:50so he's just stopping
39:55ben wondering whether to go any higher
40:00but slowly zion starts to make some headway zion working on his fifth layer ben has eight
40:08all right you've got five minutes to go i need to move here
40:17ben keeping a close eye on zion's tower
40:21zion moving quicker now trying to catch ben ben goes down for more tiles
40:30zion has cracked his pattern can he build them faster
40:34i'm keeping a close eye on zion and he's figured out a building technique with these tiles that actually
40:39works zion can catch up and overtake me zion quickly catching up to bed
40:45you've got 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 is 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 zion does not have enough time to
41:35catch ben
41:38ben's tower falls again
41:42the time step back 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2
41:56one zion wins the challenge ben going home
42:08the plan worked and once again zion the giant slayer takes out the strongest play from the game
42:18that was deep as i told you i told you giant slayer
42:34it 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
42:43all you're also going home with 5k for your charity any final words um first of all i just want
42:50to say
42:51it's a it's an honor to be beaten by this man here so this has been a journey unlike any
42:56that 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

43:50be able to experience this and now he's gone we don't have to worry about him anymore this could be
43:53like the game-changing moment for us women it really could be zion incredible performance once
44:01again it would have been easy to stand back with one minute left and accept the feet but you kept
44:05at
44:05it and you walked away with the victory you've also
44:11you must be getting a couple of them now yeah awesome zion you can take a seat
44:21in the final treasure hunt name one rival their path will be halted a five minute time penalty
44:27holding them in place while you press on that's not motivation to be in the final three i don't know
44:32what is just seven of you remain on treasure island every day you play is one step closer to victory
