- Previously on
Celebrity Treasure Island ―

18 celebs choppered into
the mighty Te Waipounamu.

- Hello! I'm here!

- Hello. (CHUCKLES)

- I really hope everyone likes me.

- They received new names...

- You are Karearea.
(CHEERING)

- You are Tohora.

...as well as new leaders.

Matilda, the new captain.

- Jordan,
come and get your rakau korero.
(CHEERING)

- Some thrived...

- He's very serious.

- I know it's a competition;
I get that.

- And he wants to game talk
all the time.

- Those people in those stations
are there for a reason.

- ...while others tried to survive.

- Let's be honest ―
we're all a bit miserable.

- Karearea flew through
the face-off and claimed victory.

And in the first ever...

- Captain's Coup.

Matilda!

You've also won this.
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

- I'm really
stoked to have that clue in my back
pocket just... just to have in mind.

OK.

'Captain's right to pick.'
Classic. Of course.

'Don't like which
of your teammates your opposing
kaihautu put up for elimination?

'This is your chance
to turn the tables.

'Use this advantage to swap in a
different player also from your
team.'

The advantage is awesome.
I'm a team player, and I guess time
will tell as to when I'll need it.

- Oi! They're over here!

- # Oh-oh.

# Oh-oh.

# Oh-oh!

# Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.

# Oh-oh.

# Oh-oh.

# Oh-oh! #

- MIRIAMA: Just to set us up
for the day...

inhale to rise.

Exhale, lean and hold now.

One more big deep breath.

Lift your heart. Inhale.

Lovely, everyone.
From there, inhale to rise.

- First morning here, and we all
know we need to wake up the brain
and the body and the mind.

I can hear these deep breaths, and
I'm like, far out, there's a deep
breath. I'm like, thosearen't mine.

I look to my left.
It's my mate Blair.

- Fly like the karearea.

- BLAIR: I'm really
enjoying Miri's yoga.

I'm gonna unlock it,
not just physically
but mentally and spiritually.

(GENTLE GUITAR MUSIC)

- Oh, hey.
- That looks good.

- TURIA: I feel like Matt Gibb,
he's like our camp father,
and Matilda's our camp mother.

- That's not beans.

So, we're trying to get organised,
cos we need to eat regularly, right?

We're doing these physical
challenges; we can't be hungry.

So we need beans, we figure, before
a team challenge, which means we need
soaked beans overnight,we think.

- OK, ready?
- Yeah, let's soak 'em
in here instead.

Transfer the beans back into the
frying pan to then cook the rice.

Actually, I've
forgotten what the schedule is.
I can't remember. Someone else.

- We got it.

So, we have our beans
at dinner time, and then we
soak those beans overnight

so we can have them for lunch.

And we have rice for breakfast,
and then we have beans and rice
for lunch.

We have beans and
rice for dinner, and then we
soak the rest for breakfast.

So it's pretty complicated. (LAUGHS)

So, we did four cups last night,
and that was kind of―
- Yeah, and that was heaps, eh?

- Yeah.

- I woke up starving.
(LAUGHTER)

I was like, bom, starving.

I just love that I don't
have to cook my own food.

I don't care what it is. If it's
rice and beans, at least I don't
have to cook it.

I'm just, like, grateful, leshgo.
It's like Uber Eats
but the rice and bean version.

- Oh, just getting some daisies, all
of these, because they're eatable.

Just to get a bit of extra energy
for me. Add a bit of colour to the
food.

Tera no hoki ko ake mo ki te
tiro ki te takoto o te whenua,

he aha na hua kai konei?

- Did you get some daisies, Tame?

Oh, awesome.
I'm gonna go pick some for―
- Add a bit of colour to my rice.

- Shall we just put daisies
in the whole thing?
- Yeah.

- I don't know. Cos he was like, you
know, 'It's got a lot of vitamins.'

I'm like, 'We also are allowed to
bring vitamins. I might just stick
to the vitamin C sachetsI brought.'

- LAURA: ...a fish and chip shop
in Palmy that has...

- Nice, everyone. Let that
right foot just slide off.

Take a moment.
Let it just gently slide off.

- Expecting 10 minutes. (LAUGHS)
One hour later... (LAUGHS)

- It was a full-on yoga class ―
much longer than I was thinking.

- Don't let the sacrum lift.

- So good, though.
So good in the morning.

(QUIRKY, UPBEAT MUSIC)

- Get in here, you lot.

- Kia ora, Bree.
- Gidday, guys.

- I mean, first charity challenge,
I'm here for both. (CHUCKLES)

I'm here for raising charity and
raising awareness for me for my
career. (LAUGHS)

- First night out in the wild.

James, any snorers amongst
the group? Or was it you?

- Steve.
(LAUGHTER)

- What a load of rubbish.

- 'A lot of snoring from Steve.
Grant ― also huge snorer.'

He asked me if he snored, and
I didn't have the heart to tell him.

- I didn't hear anything.
I had my hearing aids off.
(LAUGHTER)

- You have the right idea,
my friend.
- Yeah, yeah, don't hear.

- Is anyone here from the country?

Couple of lads.

This might be your challenge,
cos you're all about to herd sheep.

Bring in the sheep!

- I'm not too good with animals.
I've never had a pet in my life.
Don't want one. Ever.

- Oh gosh.
- Oh wow!

I thought we were gonna,
like, be working with real sheep.

Grateful it's just blow-up balls.

- That's right, guys. One of
my favourite charity challenges
ever, herding sheep, is back.

The aim of the game is to herd sheep
back into your pen.

But you'll be doing that with
your hands tied behind your back.

The first person to get six sheep
back to their pen wins.

- Woof, woof. Let's go, girl.
(LAUGHS)

- Mel, are you ready?
- I'm ready!

- Laura, you ready?
- Heck yeah!

- Go!

- Get it, girl! Whoo-hoo!
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

- MATT: What is this technique?
- Oh my God!

- It is a blood bath ―
running, pushing, shoving.

(TAME GROANS UNCERTAINLY)

I was so determined. (CHUCKLES)

- Protect your sheep.
- Six. Close that gate.
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

She's taken the gate with her.

- A little bit too determined.

- All right. We had to have a
slight break cos Mel broke the gate.

Mel, are you OK?
- I'm fine.

- All right. My referee's call
is Laura had six sheep in the pen,

which means all she has
to do is shut that gate.

Laura moving on to the semi-final.
(CHEERING)

James Mustapic vs Matilda Green.

- She's won too much shit already.
I'm fuming at her, so I'm ready to
take her out.

- Mustapic gets one.

Matilda trying to work on
that first one. She gets one.

(TAME GROANS UNCERTAINLY)

- James working on that fifth one.
All he needs is one more.

Here he goes.
He's got six in the pen.

- MATT: So it's Lobbo vs Gibbo.

- Are you ready?

- (BARKS)
(LAUGHTER)

- Matt, are you ready?
- I thought so until then.

- Go!

- Whoa!

- And it's just mayhem.

(EXCLAIMING)

- (BARKS)

- No, get out!

- The sheep dog has gone to work.
(LAUGHTER)

He's kicking the sheep back at him.

All the sheep are
back out of the yard now.

That's time.

Go!

Here we go.
Tame kicks that gate open.

- TURIA: Seeing that I'm up
against Tame, I'm a bit nervous,

because no one wants to push
a 70-year-old out of the way.

- Tame doing some
good work over here.

- I don't wanna go back out into the
Maori world and be like, 'You pushed
our national treasure.'

I mean, he might push me.

I hope not.

(CONTESTANTS SHOUT)

- One minute to go.

Hey!

Oh, she's got six!

All right, we've got uneven numbers,

and Mel had the most sheep
in her pen at the end of her
round, so she's going again.

Steve, your first time.

- I'm gonna be as physical as
what I need to be to try and
get the result.

- Steve Price, rugby league legend.
Will that come in handy herding
sheep?

- Melanie's having a go with Steve,
the big bloody big guy.

- Needs one more.
Mel says, 'It's time to steal.'

(EXCLAIMING)

- Then bom!

(CONTESTANTS SHOUT)

I like her spirit.

- Steve's got six. All he needs
to do is close that gate, which'll
take him through to the semi-finals.

This is a time trial.

The top two to get their sheep the
fastest back into that pen are going
through to the final.

Leshgo.
(CONTESTANTS SHOUT)

More of a gentle
feel about her herding.
- GRANT: Yeah, good technique.

- MATT: Might be a lob. Yeah!
(CHEERING)
- Shut the gate!

- Shut the front gate!

- Gotta be quick!
(APPLAUSE)

All right, our final.

If there ever was
a David vs Goliath...

- Yeah, second place gets nothing,
so I've gotta win this final for
the charity.

- Don't care what I have to do.
I need this.

(BARKS AGGRESSIVELY)

- All right, our final.

If there ever was
a David vs Goliath...
(LAUGHTER)

- I wouldn't call James an athlete.

I'd say he's got
a competitive spirit.

- MATILDA: Yeah, go James!
- GRANT: Go, Jamesey.

- There we go.
- Quick, be nimble.
- James has got the speed.

- This is gonna be intense,
especially a...

Warriors player, I think.

- Steve coming in for the steal.
- Hey, you! Hey!

Oh!

Tried to give him a bit of a
shoulder bash just cos― just
for fun.

Instant backfire for me.

- Look at him.

- STEVE: Got six.

- Stevie's got six in.
He closes the gate.

Steve taking home 5K
for his charity.

- MATT: Well done, boys.

- Amazing work, Steve. You've
picked up $5000 for your charity.

Can you tell us a bit about who it
is and why you're supporting them?

- Yeah, it's Child Cancer Foundation,
and when I lived here in New Zealand,
I was the ambassador.

And there's three families a week,
unfortunately, that find out their
child has cancer,

and about 1300 families that
the foundation looks after.

And they don't get
government funding, so they're
the superheroes of the world.

I just wanna help them
as much as we can.

- Amazing work. $5000 going to them.
(APPLAUSE)

Let's hope you can win a few
more and add to that kitty.

Head back to your kainga.
We'll see you soon.

- Thanks, Bree.
- See ya, Bree.

- Hey.
- Morena.

- Morena.
- Had a little sneak away from camp.

- Honestly. How you doing?

- I'm here to play the game. I wanna
make the merge. I wanna make it all
the way.

And you can't do that
without friends.

Jazz is the person I know the most
on my team, so she was instantly
the person I was gonna talk to.

- I'm real keen for us to just
have each other's back in this team.

- Yeah, we're sticking...
we're sticking through the merge,
I reckon.

- Yeah.

- Alliances? Who am I?

- I, obviously,
am keen to stick with you.
- Yeah.

- Is there anyone else
that you wanna...

- I wanna bring Courtney―
bring Courtney with us.
- Yeah, I agree.

- It's like a big, long party game.

It's like a party game on an island,
and the food's not as good.

It's all actually happening, eh.
The first day was like fun and
games, fun and games,

but now it feels like tonight, it's
gonna get really real really fast.
- Yeah, absolutely.

- My main error in any party game,
though is drawing too much attention
to myself at the very start.

So that is why I'm trying not to
give too much information about
things,

like my relationship with Laura.
I'm like, let's keep it chill.

(LAUGHTER)

- They were all chatting away and
laughing, and it's nonstop chatter
and laughter.

And then you've got
the one quiet dude.

Struggle with a bit
of social awkwardness.

- Yeah, it's like
a little vacay together.

- I don't know why I'm like that.
I've always been like that.

- You've seen some stuff
over the years probably.

- I wish I could just chat away
about nothing to someone I've
never met.

If it's awkward for them, it's a
thousand times more awkward for me,

because I'm the one
who's dealing with it.

I always know that I'll come right;
they don't know that.

They're probably thinking,
'Is he gonna be like this
the whole bloody time?'

It does make things tense;
I know it does.

And that was my biggest worry of
the game ― not doing the challenges,
nothing like that.

It was overcoming
those first initial days
of getting to know people.

That was my biggest concern, really.

(PERCUSSIVE MUSIC)

(LAUGHTER)

- Karearea looking to add
another point to the board.

- JORDAN: Proudly lead
my team into battle.

If we keep doing what we're doing
and as our team goal, keep focused
on that,

that goal includes wins.

You can only start building
that cohesion even more and
that confidence even more

if you're winning.

- Tohora looking to make a comeback.

- I still think the other team
are quite intimidating.

Quite a strong unit.

Theirs just seems quite slick.

- Kia ora koutou.
- ALL: Kia ora.

- Blair, I heard that you thought the
camps were just for TV and you might
actually go back to a hotel at night.

- Yeah, that's a real thing.

I thought there was a motel on
the side and this whole thing
wasn't real.

- Blair might be the least outdoorsy
person in our team.

He brought, I don't know, a couple
of T-shirts and no toiletries bag.

Blair Grylls is a city boy
through and through.

- OK, for this take, you'll be
connected at the hip by a rope.

On 'timata',
you will work together to navigate
through an obstacle course.

The person at the end of
the line will be holding keys

which they will use to unlock
the crate full of sandbags.

Each person in your team must use a
catapult to land one sandbag on top
of the tower.

First team to land all
their sandbags wins. Capiche?
- ALL: Capiche.

- Now, the kaihautu of the winning
team will get to pick who faces off
in tonight's eliminationbattle.

Tonight, one of you is going home.

- I do not wanna be
the first to go home.

I've struggled with anxiety a lot
of my life. I'm feeling stressed.

- Now that heavy stuff is out of the
way, Jayden, what would you say is
the most important mealof the day?

- I would think breakfast, Bree.
- That is wrong; it's cocktail hour.
- What?

- But breakfast is
pretty important too.
(CONTESTANTS EXCLAIM)

That's right, guys. I've got
everything here ― the bread,
the oats, the fruit,

even some fancy oat milk
for our fancy contestants.

- I prefer plunger to barista. It's
my― It's one of my favourite types.

- I've even thrown in some bacon and
eggs because I'm feeling generous.

- Everyone happy about that?
- CONTESTANTS: Yes!

- Well, then, I'm happy.
Let's get it.
- Let's go.

- TURIA: Haumi e, hui e...
- ALL: ...taiki e.

- We're just gonna give it 150%,
chuck our bodies through it and
just go for it.

- Playing for a big breakfast ―
kua reri? Are you ready?
- CONTESTANTS: Ready!

- Timata!

- Honestly, Grant was just like...

- Whoo!
- Go!

- Go, mate, go.

- TOHORA: Go, go, go!

- I don't know if he knows Maori
or it, but he didn't go. (LAUGHS)

- Missing the start threw me and put
me into panic mode. What an idiot!
I've lost the challenge for us.

- Timata!

- Go! Go, Grant!

- Go.
- TOHORA: Go!
- JAYDEN: Go, Grant!

- Missing the start threw me
and put me into panic mode.

- Grant a little slow off the mark,
but they're catching up.

Karearea looks like
a well-oiled machine.

- TURIA: Come on. Let's go.

- We were thinking get over
there as fast as we can,
keep gaps between us.

And so Grant sort of
boosts it ahead.

- Grant making his way down
the other side of the A frame.

- And then we realise very quickly
this is a really dumb thing to do.

- We haven't gone under here.
- I haven't gone out?

- Come back down.
- Coming down. OK.

- So we need to keep together,
because Matilda is following,

and she is left with all of
this extra excess rope around, and
she's getting a little flustered.

- Just communication's key.
So we go under like this, guys.

- And Laura is amazing. She
stays totally calm the whole time,
and she's telling me where to go,

cos I'm just in a bit of a state.

- There a lot of rope you
don't wanna get tangled.

- We're pulling the rope through,
and everyone's communicating. It's
going great until Jazz realises

she's been pulling the rope but not
pulling it through her carabiner,

so she's got about 40m of rope that
she needs to get through before we
get through the course.

- Jazz trying to get
that rope through.

- These little
arms are not that strong, but I am
pulling as frickin' hard as I can,

just like, 'You just gotta
get all the rope out!'

- Luckily it's a patient team,
and we all just let her do that.
We encourage her.

- You got it.
- Shot, Jazz.
- Come on, Jazz.

- Karearea waiting for her.

- Under.

- They said they did
yoga this morning. They've
limbered up the groin area.

- Shit a brick.

- MEL: You can only go as fast
as your slowest player,

so I thought if Tame needs any
help over the climbing frame at
the beginning,

then we've got Steve there
to boost him up at the back.

- Come round the side, Tame.

- OK, now we go down here.
Just gonna have to figure out
how to do that.

- Perfect, mate. Perfect.

- As soon as we get through
that first frazzled bit...

- Ooh!
- BREE: Oi! Matilda!
- Got it.

...we start to get
in a bit of a flow.

- Nice.
- MATT: We're doing great here.

- We're going up, down, back around,
crawling through. (GARBLES)

- Nice, whanau.
We step over this one.

- I'm looking at the opposition...

tit for tat.

- Get it through there.
Let's go. Let's go.

- We get to the box together, undo
the sandbags, and then it's launch
time.

- Every member of your team has
to land a sandbag in that net.

- So, being the captain, I decided
that I'll go forward; I'll lead,

and I'll try and get it up
there first to maybe give my other
teammates an idea of what ittakes.

- Put your bag on. Put your bag on.

OK, even more, even more.

- So, it's me vs Jordan.

Jordan tries ― doesn't get it up.

I'm giving it a go...

- Laura catapulted that edge.

- STEVE: It's gotta come closer.
- Back?

Steve's like, 'You need to move
the board back.' He's yelling at me.

- Bring this closer.

- We know there's some type
of physics involved.

I don't really do maths, don't
really do science. I don't know
what the hell's going on.

- Let's go, Laura.
It's anyone's game.

Yeah, Laura!

Hell yeah! That's our step!
That's our angle.

- I'm the first one to get one in!

Whoo! (LAUGHS)

- And...

(CHEERING)

- Stay here. It's there. There.

Leave it there. Leave it there.
Leave it there.

- I'm coming to this catapult beast
mode. Like, there's no way I'm not
getting it on.

- Lift it, and then stomp.

- Laura gets hers up really quickly,
so I'm thinking, oh, good,
this is pretty easy.

- TAME: Take your time.

- I reckon just the one― Yeah. Don't
worry about jumping; it's too hard.

- I'm getting no height,
and I'm getting really knackered.

I'm stuffed.

No matter how hard I stomp on the
thing, the sandbag just goes uhhh.

Uhhh.

It's not going anywhere.

- MATT: Yeah, buddy!

(CHEERING)

- This wave of relief
just washes over me.

- MIRIAMA: It's not you, Nick;
it's the wind.

- I can see and hear my team going,
'OK, bro, whenever you wanna pass it
on. It's up to you.'

(GRUNTS)

(BLEEP)!

One more. One more. One more.

'One more, guys. One more.'

(GROANING)

'One more!' (LAUGHS) 'One more!'

- JAYDEN: Is this the one for Nick?

(CHEERING)

Two for Tohora. Two for Karearea.

- I'm stoked that
I pushed through it and got it.

- Come on!

- It takes a long, long time.

- Turia's stepping up now.

- I think we're all kind of thinking
the same thing. Like, 'Are we gonna
be able to do this?'(LAUGHS)

- Really close.

- Physically draining.
Mentally draining.

- MATT: Yes, Mel!
- TURIA: Nice, Mel!
(CHEERING)

- Let's go, Mary. Let's go!

- Giving her little self a chant.
I like it.

- I'm a great believer that nothing
will change if nothing changes.

Put it somewhere different.

Put it somewhere different
on the board.

Alter the board a little bit.

- MATT: Yeah, awesome, mate.
You'll get there.
- (GROANS) Oh no!

You just gotta give it a go, really.

- I was just losing my patience.
Felt like nothing was gonna work.

- What I'm observing is that
they're jumping from the side,

and they're putting a lot
of force into their jump,

which is making the plank skew
and go to the right.

Every time that
they're doing it, I was like,
it's not making a difference.

And when I saw I said that,
I didn't say it; I said it
in my brain. (LAUGHS)

- Nice, Court!

(CHEERING)
- Courtney lands it on
her first stomp!

- What are the odds?

- Before I came here, my son said,
'You need to practise a celebration
dance.'

And I did not.

Yeah, suck it! (LAUGHS)

To my own team!

- Here we go.

Nice, Jazz!

(CHEERING)
- Four Karearea players have landed
their sandbags; three from Tohora.

- Yes, that is so good.

- There it is!
- That's it!

- Miriama lands! That's five
on the board for Karearea.

- That pressure now
mounting on team Tohora.

- LAURA: Anything can change, guys.
Anything can change.

- MATT: They stretch out
to a bit of a lead.

I wouldn't say we're panicking,
but we're getting a bit frustrated.

(CHEERING)
- Blair lands!

Six for Karearea!

- Get on there!

- Four for Tohora!

- Here's your iconic moment, James.

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh!

(CHEERING)

- Yes, James!

- Slowly but surely, we claw our
way up. We get a bit of momentum.

- Lines it up.

And she nails it!

- Six and six!

- Suddenly, we're level. That gives
us a bit of a rocket up us, and we
think we've got a chance.

- GRANT: Come on, Matt.

Yes!
(CHEERING)

- Turia lands! Tohora with
only one player left to score.

- Yay! But then I'm like, no.

Tame's the last one. Like, maybe I
wished that I let Tame go before me.

In case we lose, I would rather
I'm the one who lost it for us,
not Tame.

- Just Tame left to score for Tohora.

Yeah, get it together.
Talking to myself.

- Mary, Megan and Eli left
to score for Karearea.

- MEGAN: I don't have the
Tongan calves and thighs.

These are little South African pins.

- Surely Tame is gonna struggle
as much as Eli and me and Megs.

- Tame, he is in a state of Zen.
He's taking his time, which part
of me really likes.

It makes me feel calm.

And then the other part is like,
'Go! Go quick! We gotta do this!'

- MATT: Come on. Come on.
Get in there.

- Oh, so close.

And then when the wind die down...

And go, then then boom.

- MATILDA: You need any water?
- No, the sun's a bit hot on my
head.

(LAUGHTER)

- NICK: And Tame's standing there,
no shirt, saying a karakia.

I can't take my eyes off Tame,
and I just need to see it.

- (EXHALES)

- MATT: There we go. There we go!

(CHEERING)
- Tame lands, giving Tohora
their first team face-off win!

- I surprise myself. (LAUGHS)

- Some things are written.

- Hey, what do you do?
They deserved it.

I reckon there'll be a whole
lotta people jumping out of
their La-Z-Boys at home

watching him slam dunk that pretty
little thing. It was awesome!
How inspiring! You know?

Ah... Lovely.

(CHEERING)

- The joy in his face.
(CHUCKLES) Don't cry!

- That was just such a cool moment.
Oh my God.

- Oh man. I'm so glad
I'm on this team. (LAUGHS)

(CHEERING)

- EMOTIONALLY: For him to bring it
home for us in the end was just so
cool.

Oh my God. I'm losing it.

- Yeah, it was quite emotional,
just those... moment.

- Oh, kei te pehea
nga kare a-roto inaianei?
- (LAUGHS)

Hey, I've done it.
- Yeah.

- I'm happy I done it for our team.

- Yeah, ko tutuki, ko ea?
- Ko ea au.

Doesn't really matter
what age you are, eh?

(CHEERING)

- It's already here.
It's already here!

I'm feeling... on a high.

- Sausages.
- Breakfast sausages!

- (SHRIEKS)
- Bacon.

- We're, like, ramped up as a team,
and we're all just ecstatic, and it
just feels good towin.

We get to eat! We've got
bacon sammies. We're so happy.

- We worked together
to be able to work it out.

- It feels good.
It feels really good.

- Winning feels really nice.
I'd like more of this.
- Feels nice.

- Let's keep winning.
- Yeah.
(LAUGHTER)

- MATT: Shall we all agree
to just keep on winning?
- Yes!

(UNEASY MUSIC)

- In Matilda's hands.
Out of our control.

- I'm nervous for my team, because
I don't wanna lose any of them,

but I feel false safe.

Because I'm the captain I don't
necessarily has to be as concerned
about my own journey stopping,

but it does
concern me that somebody who's in
my camp could be getting sent home

and is out of my control.

This is where you dig deep, eh.

This is where you take this moment
now to get yourself in that moment
emotionally and mentally

if your name does get called out.

- It's so cute watching
everyone deal with nervous energy,
and everyone's so different.

- That's your story that was meant
to happen, and now's your time.

- So, Jordan, he's wearing
this on his shoulders.

Like, potentially he could be
losing a soldier out there in
the battle tonight.

- And know that the team is, like,
as always, backing you so hard.

- Like, some people are just,
like, stone cold silence.
Like, don't touch me.

- How are we all feeling?

- I was just thinking they
might have seen me getting
angry at myself.

'Eli's in a bad place. Let's
put him up while he's vulnerable.'

Let's be honest ― the reason I think
it's me as well is cos I'm the lead
character of my ownmovie,

so I'm constantly thinking,
'God, yeah, it's probably me.
It's all about me.'

But I'm― it's not. (STAMMERS)
She might not have even noticed
me getting upset.

She― She might not have
noticed anything. Who knows?

But I'm not gonna be after
a swim and a kai. (CHUCKLES)

- And you're not right now, bro.
- Yeah.
- You're not.

- Eli is in a lovely, peaceful space.
He brings out his real Zen space.

- We did yoga this morning;
we said our intentions.
My intention was actually calm.

If I'm put up, just gonna take a
couple of breaths, and I'm just
gonna give it a go.

- Mary's just running around
like a chicken.

- What will be, will be.

I'm inherently a control freak.

And we cannot do a thing about it,
except try our very, very hardest.

It's rattling my internal cage, OK?
(CHUCKLES)

It's like waiting
for the dentist, eh, who doesn't
have any anaesthetic. (LAUGHS)

Have a laugh.

Sing a song.

Rooting for you. Rooting for
whoever that poor bastard is
up there. (CHUCKLES)

- Um, well, I didn't- So, I don't
really understand how it works ―
the challenge. (LAUGHS)

- So, one person from their team
and one person from our team has
to go up.

- But― But our team,
she gets to make the decision.
- Yes, she chooses.

- So that's...
that's what we win is the choice.
- Yeah.

- I mean, I guess it's good.

- (SIGHS)
- Yeah.

I mean― Yeah. We'll see how it goes.

- Does everyone wanna come and
sit down, have a little korero
about tonight?

Cool.

Before we go any further, is
there anyone who wants to be put up?

Anybody who wants to be put up?

(SIZZLING)

- Of course, no one said yes.

- OK, so...

we need to figure out our strategy.

But for the other team,

is there anyone that we think
is a real threat that we might
wanna get rid of?

- TAME: Miriama.

(LAUGHTER)
- Miriama, I think, is
a really strong player.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, so it could be Miriama or...

- I feel like that, um... that Whaea
Mary is a bit of a, you know― she's
got mental game,eh.

- Mary Lambie.
- She'd be good for their morale.

- That's actually quite a good call.

- Honestly, I think Matilda's coming
in to play the game pretty fair.

She seems like she's just going for
whatever the best, like, game move
is to, like, strengthenthe team.

- Unless we just go for,
like, their weaker ones, and then
we're just cutting down numbers.

- Yeah.
- That's the question ― do you put
up a strong player against one of us

knowing that, you know, they've got
just as much chance of winning it as
we do?

- Unless... she's wanting to take
people out of the teams she might
think is a threat...

I don't know.

- So, if it's, um...

a puzzle...

who feels strong on puzzles?

I mean, is there― James?

- Feel OK about puzzles, but...
- Yeah.
- ...I don't think I'm great.

- OK.

- So I feel a bit like Matilda
is gonna put me up.

In fact, I'm positive
she's gonna put me up.

I don't know how, but she somehow
thinks that I'm great at the puzzles,
which I never evensaid,

cos I did not want her thinking that
I was good at puzzles. And I don't...

I don't think I'll be very good.
(CHUCKLES)

- It's real brutal.
But that's the game.

So...

- Whoever you think's
best from this team, and if we're
eliminated, no hard feelings on you.

It's just―
You have to make the decision.

I can see that she was feeling,
uh, um... you know, it's not an
easy decision to make.

I could feel she―
see she was struggling with it.

- That's one of my strategies,
is to...
- Might be a... eat bacon challenge.

- MATT: That was
a bloody good sandwich.
- It was.

- Yeah. Tastes better
cos it was well earned.
- Yeah, totally.

- I'll feel embarrassed if I go.

I feel like when the― when
the pressure's on, I'm gonna be
so shit. (LAUGHS UNCOMFORTABLY)

- Hmm. Good question.

(LAUGHS) Sorry. This is...

tragic.

All right!

(TENSE MUSIC)

- TAME: We weren't too
sure who it's gonna be.

I'm confident for Matilda
to make those decisions.

Like, um, Steve and I say ―
just breathe,

ready for whatever comes.

- # Just as long... #

- This is just all a lot.

- Welcome, everybody,
to the very first elimination.

Whoever loses this battle will be the
first person to leave the island and
the game.

But before the battle begins,
let's find out who's going up.

Matilda, come on up.

Matilda, you're about to make
arguably one of the toughest
decisions in this game.

How are you feeling?
- Not great. Just feel...
nervous and not nice.

- Matilda, who is the first
person you're putting up from
the opposition?

- Jazz.

- You got this, girl.

- I don't wanna go home, but also
the person who beats me will get
destroyed by the TikTokers,so...

don't beat me.

- And now for the slightly tougher
one ― who are you putting up from
your own team?

- Grant.
- Grant, OK.

- I was fully expecting it.
Don't worry.

- Thank you, Matilda.
You can sit down.

- I wasn't expecting Grant.

Jayden's like,
'Did you expect that, Grant?'

- Did you know you
were going up tonight?
- I had a feeling, yeah.

- Did you? I didn't.

Maybe it's cos she didn't know
your name why you expected it.

- It's no surprise. But I'm gonna
nail it. Feeling good. Let's just
get it off.

'It was a purely social decision.

'Why would she pick a person who
she's getting along with really
well?'

Of course, she's gonna pick the
guy who's a bit quiet, aren't ya?

- Come home for sausages, Grant.

- Coming home!
I'm coming home, Matty! (LAUGHS)
- (CHUCKLES)

- I think we could afford
to lose Grant at this point.

And if Grant beats Jazz,

then we've got a strong team, and
it knocks out a competitor for me.

- All right,
here's how this is gonna work.

Standing on opposite sides
of a ramp, you will take turns
rolling a ball back and forth

while building a tower
one block at a time.

If at any point your tower falls,
you must reassemble it before
grabbing new blocks.

First person to complete
their tower wins.

The loser goes home, missing out on
the $100,000 grand prize for their
charity.

Grant, Jazz, take your marks.

- NICK: Come on, Jazz.
(APPLAUSE)

- I'm not worried about Jazz at all.
It's a very simple game of rolling
the ball and building atower, so...

it could've been anyone there. It
could've been Arnold Schwarzenegger.
It wouldn't have bothered me.

- Grant, remind everyone
who you're playing for.

- I'm playing for
the Mental Health Foundation.

They do a lot of good as far as
suicide awareness in this country,

which is far too common,
and it's a good cause.

- Jazz, who are you playing for?

- I'm playing for Voices of Hope,
a charity that I co-founded with
a friend of mine,

Genevieve Mora, both having battled
mental illness, and myself, suicide
attempts in my teenage years.

It's a charity to tell lived
experience stories to provide hope
and provoke change here inAotearoa

and around the world.
(APPLAUSE)

- MATT: Shot, you two.

- LAURA: I think Matilda
has picked Jazz because
she thinks Jazz is weak.

She's― She's a competitive gal.

- Kua reri? You ready?

- Ready.
- Timata.

- MATILDA: Go, Grant.
- MATT: Here we go, Grant.

- Jazz with the ball first.

Grant collects it.

- TURIA: Go, go, go.
- All good, Grant.

- Can only grab one block a turn.
If you miss that opportunity,
you have to wait.

- Nice, Grant. Come on, Grant. Yes.

- Jazz's tower takes a tumble.
The wind isn't helping.

- LAURA: 'Grant, he is so calm.'

He's so calm to the point
where I'm like, he's got this.

(CONTESTANTS CHEER)

- Grant's steady. He's boosting.
- Come on. Cool as a cucumber,
Grant. This is good, man.

- Ball comes back.

Jazz knocks her own tower.

- JORDAN: Take your time, Jazz.
You got this, girl.

- MIRIAMA: 'The mind can't
help but engage in drama.'

That's what it's geared to do,
right? It's a survival mechanism.

- The ball's moving faster.
Grant with one more piece.

- Ooh. Hard luck. It's all right.

- Higher it gets,
the harder it is to stay up.

- Yes! (LAUGHS)

- The game changes just like that.

- I'm not a bad person.

(TENSE PERCUSSIVE MUSIC)

- JORDAN: Take your time now, Jazz.
Nice, Jazz.

- The wind's picking up.

- And it is blowing like crazy.

- TURIA: Build it, Grant.

- It's on the ground! It's on the
ground! Jazz, it's on the ground!

- Jazz has one block left.

- She's like, 'That's my tower,
everyone.' But the tower doesn't
have a roof.

- Get it.

- Can Grant knock the tower down
before she gets it?

- Yes, Jazz.

- Jazz, hands off.
(CHEERING)

One, two,

three!

Jazz!
(CHEERING)

First person to leave the island...

- Oh my God. What a hero.

Oh, you killed it.

- Grant, tough one.

I know it's never
easy going home first.

Like everyone here,
you've stepped out of your
comfort zone to come here.

You bring a lightness
and a humour to the game.

I'm pretty sure
you were throwing out a couple
barks at the challenge there.

(LAUGHTER)
- (LAUGHS) I was a dog
in a previous life.

- You will forever be
my favourite fictional IT man.

It has been a pleasure
to be a part of your journey.

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

Go say your goodbyes and head on out.

- See ya, guys.

- Grant is taking it like a champ.

If it had been me up there,
I would've been bloody bawling
my eyes out,

going, 'Please don't make me leave.'

Good on you, Damo from IT.

We love ya, mate.

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

- I don't think I've been here long
enough to really learn anything new
about myself.

What I already knew
about myself happened.

I just wish I could've been here
a bit longer so they could've seen
more of me come out, butnever mind.

- With great power comes great
responsibility. Grant's still with
us in spirit, and soldier on.

- Jazz, congratulations.
- Ooh!

- You've also won...

a pat on the back.
- Oh!
(LAUGHTER)

- You've also won this.

It's a pretty good one.
- Birds of a feather...
- KAREAREA: ...stick together!

- (LAUGHS)

- It's so good that
Jazz is coming home. You know,
she's done me a favour as well.

As captain, I don't have to do
so much of a bringing-together
job tonight.

She did it herself.
Hopefully that means the
connectivity even gets stronger.

- There are now 17 of you left.

Every day you stay here is one
step closer to victory and the
buried treasure.

Head back to your kainga,
rest up. Hei apopo.

- Kia ora.
- Kia ora, e hoa.

For me personally, kei te pai.
You know?

There's a winners,
and there's a losers.

The name of the game.

- Tomorrow night ―

- Can you smell what
the rock is cooking?

- You and me are solid.

- alliances form...

- Um...

- ...and team bonds are tested...

- Psss!
I think you're gonna be gone.

- Kia kaha, Tohora.
Stay strong, boys and girls.

- ...as a merciless face-off

changes the game.

- (SHOUTS)

- That is ruthless!

- (LAUGHS)
