Celebrity Treasure Island ―

- Guys, what are we gonna do?
- Win.

- JAMES: We'll win.
- Win.

- Win.
- MIRIAMA: Win.

- the game fired up...

- The tension isreallyintense.
(LAUGHS)

- So, by the end of the day, what
we're hoping for is that Jordan's
no longer our capitan.

- ...with a little bit of scheming.

- Eli wins this Captain's Coup.

- Jordan has to hand over
the throne.

- And now...

- What's inside this box is about
to change this game as you know it.

- EXHALES DEEPLY: Oh no.
(LAUGHTER)

Oh Lordy, Lordy.

- Oi! They're over here!

- # Oh-oh.

# Oh-oh.

# Oh-oh!

# Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.

# Oh-oh.

# Oh-oh.

# Oh-oh! #

- James, when you're ready, read out
whatever is inside this box.

- READS: 'Team swap. The holder
of this scroll must choose three
people from each team toswap sides.

'The only people who cannot
change teams are the captains.

'The swap is a permanent decision
and will take place immediately.'
(GASPS)

'This decision
is yours alone to make.'

- Huge bomb just to chuck
into the middle of the game.

- I am shook.

- MIRIAMA: Holy heck, dude.

Like, seriously?

- BREE: This is a massive shake-up.

All right, James, decision time.

Who from the opposition team,
Karearea, is coming across to
your team, Tohora?

- I'm not good at making decisions,
and so I just feel like everything
was falling into place.

We have our team, and we all get
along so well. And now it's all
out the window.

(TENSE MUSIC)

Got my eye on Nick.

Courtney, we'd love to have you.

(SIGHS)

Let's go, Shortie Street guy.
(LAUGHTER)

What I do like about this is
that for ages I've been like,

'Oh no, I have to put up
someone from my team.'

But now I'm like, 'I'll just
chuck up all these Karearea
people. You know, see ya.'

- Who from your team is
moving across to the opposition?

- SIGHS: Oh...

I love all of these people very
much, so this is a very difficult
decision.

Matt.

Sorry, mate.

Mel.

Oh no! OK.

Turia, I'm sorry.
- It's all good.

- I put Turia and Matt over there,
because I thought they would
continue our alliance strong.

And I guess I wanted the big guns
from the other team.

- MATT: The teams are now completely
in disarray. Like, that's―

Everything we thought we knew
has now just gone out the window.

- ELI: I'll miss you so much, mate.
- NICK: Brother.

- Take a seat with your new teams.

- LAURA: I think he's
done the right thing.

He needed, like, a wing person ―
needed one of Turia, Matt or myself.

I probably wouldn't
have sent Matt over.

I would have taken― Or I would've
brought Jordan over here, cos now
he's put those two together.

- A very tough decision to be dealt.
Please go join your new team, James.

- Guys, welcome.
Nice to see you all.

- All right, the new-look team
Karearea, and the new-look Tohora,

it's time to head back
to your kainga and get to
know your brand-new teams.

Bye, guys.
- MATT: Keen to have
a wee look at this kainga.

I gotta admit, I didn't think I was
moving. Without a single moment's
hesitation, he was like,'Matt.'

Big gap to Mel and then huge gap to
Turia, so he just knew he wanted to
get rid of me.

James.

We'll see what happens with that.

(DRAMATIC PERCUSSIVE MUSIC)

- TURIA: Are you all good
on that up there?
- MEL: All good.

- Welcome to Karearea.

- I look at my new Karearea team,
and I'm like, oh... could be good
for us.

We come...

bearing gifts ―

half of the meat.

Half of it!

- (SIGHS)
They took half of our food.

- Look around at our new team ―
it's really good for me still.

- Welcome, bro.
- Gidday, mate.

Jordan ― again, one of my best mates;
Eli ― I love Eli to bits.

- ELI: The green hat looks good.
- I love what you've done with
the place.

- Remember the pillows and the
duvets that Tohora won and Jazz
took off with her scroll?

- MIRIAMA: Land on your duvet
and feel the goodness.
- Oh my God.

- Get there. Get there.
Feel it. You know?
- Oh yeah!

- Go there, girls.

- I get to enjoy them.

- See, isn't it a good thing
in the end that I took them?

Cos now you have them here.
- It is.

- I am gonna miss Tohora and
all my mates that I've made,
especially Laura and James.

- Kia ora.
- Cheers.

But I'm excited to meet Miriama
and the other ones.

- Isn't it lovely? It's it great?
- Nice.

- ELI: We're in a good place, because
we've just had a captain change,

so it kind of feels like this whole
team is just something new to start
from, right?

- Hard out, bro.

I really enjoyed my time as
captain. It was a privilege;
it was really cool,

but the stress sort of takes away
a little bit of the enjoyment.

I think it was perfect timing for a
change of arms and a change of hands
when it comes to our skip,

and Eli's gonna be amazing.

- NICK: Kia ora, whanau.

- STEVE: Yeah, man.
- LAURA: Yeah
- JAMES: Hey.

- BREE: How are you feeling
about your decision, James?

- What if I've messed
this up big time?

I hear your name is Blair.
- That's the one.
- Great.

But I do love a twist, and I'm
excited to hear what the dynamic
is over there on the other side.

- LAURA: Hey. Welcome.
- Thank you.

- 'I feel really great about
Blair and that coming.'

I fangirled so hard over Nick in
The Lion King. I love Blair as well.

We don't know each other, but I'm
an old school Shortie fan. (LAUGHS)

- I just can't believe―
We don't― We don't have a deck.

- Yes.
- Yeah.
- This is like the full noise.

- We heard a whisper.
- So, is this better?

- Yeah, no, this is...
- Oh, great.

- There's change, and then
there's... what just happened.

So it's gonna be a little bit of a
transition, but we've got a job to
do.

We've gotta challenge those
guys on the other side.

- Jazz better watch out for Turia.
She's over there. She's like,
'She sees me on the streets...'

(LAUGHTER)

- BREE: Let's get a quick vibe check
from James.

- They're laughing; that's nice.
I can hear them all.
They're chatting away.

- What about the scroll I gave you?

- Yes, let's take a look at that.
These scrolls have been the bane
of my existence, but OK.

READS: 'Sneak peek. The holder of
this scroll can take a sneak peek
at one face-off challenge,

'be it team or individual.'

OK, oh, that's not too shabby.
That's not too shabby.

All right. Well, that...

that could come in handy.

- Ah, the bakery delivers again.

And as the new team members
settle in, the sun starts to set.

- MATT: Eli, would you care to
explain what you might've just
done just before bed just now?

- Was just getting into bed; my lips
were feeling a bit dry, so I put
what I thought was lipbalm on it.

And now they're bright green.
- Just really representing
Karearea strong.

- Yeah, I sleep Karearea!
(LAUGHTER)

How are you doing without
your percolated coffee?

- Yeah, we enjoyed it while it
lasted, didn't we? We knew it
was too good to be true.

- We're nothing if not adaptable,
Mel.

- Yes, that's true.
We're very adaptable.

- What are we in terms of
challenge wins? Is it...

- Was that even?
Or is that one up for you guys?

- Is it 4-3 to Tohora?
- ELI: I think it's
one up for Tohora.

- Oh, those assholes
over at Tohora are one up on us.
We've gotta get one back today.

- (CHUCKLES) I like it, Matty.
He's in. Matty's in the zone.

- I'm such a turncoat, eh?
I'm like... (LAUGHS)

- Loyalty's something to me;
I've already built that with Tohora,

so I am kind of finding it
hard to shift to Karearea.

- Go for the knees.
- Yeah, go for the knees.

- I feel like Mel and Matt are
(CHUCKLES) kind of finding it
a bit easier than me.

- I don't think he'd put Steve up.
I don't think he'd put Laura up.

- They're already telling everyone,
like, about the clues Tohora has and
stuff.

I was just like,
'What are youse doing?' Like...

- Her and James have
been having some big chats.

- They're yapping away.

- Get in here, you lot!

- Oh, what do we have here?
(LAUGHTER)

- I can see Bree with
noise-cancelling headphones on.

And I'm so excited, because it means
we're gonna get to listen to music,

and we haven't listened to
any music while we've been out here.

AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: Gidday, Bree.
(LAUGHTER)

It's gonna create a good vibe
with the new team.

- SHOUTS: Good morning, everyone.
How are you?
- Good, thanks, Bree!

- I can't hear a word you're saying.
Sorry. Noise-cancelling headphones.
Dave Dobbyn slaps.

(LAUGHTER)

Blair, big day yesterday ―
switching teams.
- Yeah.

I have to say I'm enjoying the
change. Had a lovely sleep last
night.

I slept well knowing that the
once-threat is now a friend.
(LAUGHTER)

- I like it.

All right, today's charity challenge
is all about listening.

All of you are gonna be wearing a
pair of noise-cancelling headphones
that will have loud music playing.

I will then read out
a bunch of different phrases,

and it will be up to you guys
to guess what I'm saying.

The first person to write down the
correct answer on their chalkboard
will get a point,

and the person at the end with
the most points will be our winner.

Right, let's do it.

Contestants ready?

Nick, you ready?

Ready to go?

(LAUGHS) I feel like
I'm talking to children.

OK, here we go.

Big booty.

Big booty.

Big booty.

Who can write the fastest? This is
gonna be a game of pace. Who's got
it?

Courtney, I'll take it.

- A really big part of the game
is you've gotta be able to write
it down really quick,

and I'm not a quick writer.

- Jimmy James

loves jam.

- I just look at Bree's mouth, and
I just write without looking at the
thing.

- Courtney with the steal again.
That's 100% on the money.

You can't find treasure

in windy weather.

You can't

find treasure...

- She's trying to exaggerate each
letter, which made it almost worse.

(LAUGHS)
- Steve's like, 'I have no idea
what you're talking about.'

Ooh, it's close. It's close.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, Laura was so close,
but Courtney just got it.

It's getting

hot in here.

# It's getting hot in here. #

That's it right there.
Nice work, Nick.

James, are you still playing?

- Lip-reading ― not my forte.
But I was enjoying the music.
That was fun.

- Two

pump

Matt.

This is finals time.

First one to get it in―
Are you kidding me?
- That was two pumps!

- READS: I clearly can't lip read.

'Two bum basic.'

No, but I like it.

'Two plump pants.' Ooh, it's close.

'To bum panties.'

No.

Two pump...

- Mum?
- Pump.

- Mum!
- Pump!

- Pump!

- Matt.

Oh, you're close.

Yes! Steve's got it! Get in!

- Oh no!

- Courtney farts

in her sleep.

She says, 'I know,
because it's true.' Right?

- Look, fine.

I was pretending to be asleep,
so shame. (LAUGHS) I just didn't
wanna deal with the consequences.

- Courtney wins!
(CHEERING)

5K going to her charity.

- Bit ups to Courts. She blitzed it.

- Congratulations, Courtney.
The first 5K going to the
Middlemore Foundation.

Amazing work. Yes, clapping.
(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)

Can you tell us a bit more
about them and what they do?

- The Middlemore Foundation supports
the community in ways that aren't
covered by governmentfunding,

so outreach and practical support.

I'm a proud South Aucklander.
I was born at Middlemore Hospital.

My son was born at Middlemore
Hospital. And my nan was a nurse
there for 35 years.

So I'm really happy to be able to
support them in the work they do.

- Amazing. Southside strong,
my friend. Me too.
(LAUGHTER)

But it's time to get serious,

because the upcoming team face-off
is just around the corner, and I'll
see you guys there.Bye.

- Thanks, Bree.
- Thank you, Bree.

- MEL: Do I smell? Matt. Matt. Matt.
Do I smell?

- Over at the new-look Karearea,
I'm getting a new-car smell kind
of vibe.

- I feel really good this morning.

This is our life now.

So nice to have fresh faces
around our camp.

It was even, like, a little bit
relieving that Eli got called.

- Yeah, we talked a lot
about who we wanted to go up against
you, and I was like, we needed Eli.

It comes down to it today.
Say we win face-off...

- We literally have all the options,
cos we've got the mercy card.
- Oh!

- So, like...

It's a bit daunting to hold the
mercy card, because that mercy
card has some history.

That mercy card has been through it.

- In the opposite scenario, they
win the face-off this afternoon,

James is obviously not gonna put us
up. He's gonna put who knows ― maybe
Mel?

- I'm thinking who am I using it on
and who am I not using it on?

- Well, you're not the only one
holding on to some interesting
baked goods.

- There's something that
I would like to share with you.

Um...

I think the time is ready
for me to share my reward.

I'm starting afresh. I wanna go
into the face-to-face challenge
with a team that's together

and loyal and willing
to fight for each other.

- Why choose to share it now, bro?

- I guess with the
way the mercy card was played,
we'd lost our way a little bit.

So I'm gonna read it out now. I'm
just gonna have to wear my glasses.

# Dun, dun-dun-dun-dun, dun-dah. #

- Oh my God. Here we go. We
finally get to find out what it
is. Can someone turn the TV up?

No, you're turning it down!
Who's sitting on the remote?

Oh, shit, pass it here.

Oh, we're gonna miss it!

- I haven't read Prince Harry's book―

- What channel is it?

Oh my God, have we missed it?

Have we missed it?

No!

- COURTNEY: His scroll
is a huge power play.

- Can someone tell me what it was?

- We're all keeping tight-lipped
about that.

- Anyone? James?

- It's a great card.

Nice work whoever came up with that.

- Oh, no one's gonna tell me.
Jayden hasn't told me. What is it?

- Here's... the big twist.

- OK.

- His scroll...

- Here we go.

- ...we've never seen on the show
before. This is gonna be crazy.

- An ad break?
You've got to be kidding.

(DRAMATIC PERCUSSIVE MUSIC)

- We're just brainstorming
some ideas for a new team chant.

New team, same dream.

Keep winning.
Isn't that right, Steve?
- That's right.

- Everyone in the fire pit.
Let's talk it out. Let's talk it out.

- We need something to show
that we are unified.

- It'll be you two at the bottom,
and then we can hold...

- We've got a lot of ideas ―
some terrible...

- Like that. I can― I can―
(LAUGHTER)

- ...some even more terrible.

- NICK: And then we make
the sound of a whale.
- Yeah.

- What's the sound of a whale?

We're gonna throw them.

(ALL IMITATE WHALE SONG)

- What if you sat on this? No?
- No.
- No, OK.

So, all of these things combine ―
come up with our chant.

It brings us together as well.

Keep brainstorming. (LAUGHS)
- No need, no need. That's perfect.
(LAUGHTER)

- James has had
enough brainstorming.

(TENSE MUSIC)

- AMERICAN ACCENT: Here we go.

Let's get ready to rumble.

- To rumble!

- At the face-off, for the first
time as Karearea 2.0, the re-bird,

it's a very different feeling,
because Tohora felt like such
a whanau, such a tight unit.

We haven't really got that yet.

- Gidday, crew.

- And all of a sudden, I hear
something come up from behind.

- TOHORA CHANT: Ooh, aah, Tohora.

Ooh, aah, Tohora.

Ooh, aah, Tohora.

- Honestly, I'm just,
like, so excited to see it.

I'm just laughing at Nick and
Steve. I'm like, 'Ha ha, you
little bum boys.'

- Ooh, aah...

- ...Tohora. Ooh, aah...

- ...Tohora.

- The dictator has arrived.

- (LAUGHS)

Honestly, then I start, like,
clapping, and I'm so excited.

I'm like, ooh, maybe don't be too
excited, cos I'm in Karearea now.

- Ooh, aah, Tohora.
- With his loyal servants
the Shortie Street guy...

- It's very strange seeing some
people that you've been with so long

suddenly in the other
camp dressed in purple and pretty
connected, man ― pretty connected.

- JAYDEN: Looks like you've all
integrated very nicely into your
new teams.

Eli, first night as new captain.
- Mm-hm.

- Has it changed the way
you approach the game?
- I'm really here to win now.

And look at this ― homophobes are
gonna to be furious everywhere.
(LAUGHTER)

- They said we'd take over,
Eli, and here we are.
- The agenda's working, Bree.

(LAUGHTER)

Sickest position of all time
with me as captain and James
as the other captain.

A powerful moment for gay rights.

- Should we get into the first take?
- Yup.
- Yes.

- One at a time, a member from the
opposing team will roll a ball down
your chute.

As soon as it is released, one person
from your team must run under the
chute and try to catchthat ball.

If you fail, you'll put it
back up the chute and try again.

Once everyone in your team has
caught a ball, you can move on
to the next phase.

Each of you will roll your ball
up the ramp and into a hole.

Once everyone has landed the ball in
that hole, try to shoot your balls
and land them on theframe.

First team to land all of their
balls on the frame successfully wins.

- I did actually practice shooting
hoops before I left for the island.

So I'm kind of like, yeah...

My time to shine.

- The kaihautu of the winning team
will decide who will face off in
the elimination battle.

- It would be such a great thing for
my team if we can kick this off with
a face-off win.

I wanna prove it to them,
but I also wanna prove it to myself.

You know? I fought hard for the
captaincy. I decided I wanted it.
I got it.

Now I want to prove to myself
that I deserved it.

- Now, I figure we're day eight
into this game,

and you're probably all getting
a little bit bored around camp.

So I thought, what can I give
you guys to spice things up?

This is the Bluebird boredom buster.
- LAUGHS: Oh yeah.

- It's got everything you need
for an amazing day out on the lake.

- The Bluebird Prize ―
it's something to behold.

The Frisbee, the rugby ball.

- And my personal favourite ―
deliciously delightful Bluebird
chips.

- Yum.
(APPLAUSE)

- I really want those Bluebirds.

Matt and Jordie are like, 'Oh, we
could get a Frisbee. We could get
activities.' And I'm like...

When I first got here, I always said
like, 'Oh, this view is amazing
if we had chips.'

And, finally, they are
up for grabs, you know?

- MIRIAMA: What's our first
flavour? Salt and vinegar?
Ready salted? Chicken.

Consensus ― salt and vinegar.

- All right, because Karearea have
an extra team member, Mel will be
sitting this one out.

Laura, Jazz, ready to roll?
- LAURA AND JAZZ: Yep.

- Timata!
- MATT: Here we go, Jords.

- JAMES: Go, Nick.
You've got this, mate.

- Jordan's caught his ball.

Nick has his ball.

Miriama, Blair on the court.

These teams are playing hard to free
the bird with that delicious boredom
buster.

- MIRIAMA: Turia, you got it.
Straight down.

- James catches the ball.
- JORDAN: Matty, come.
It's coming now. It's coming now.

- Turn straight away.
There it is. Here's you.
- Yeah, nice.

- Here we go, Eli. Open arms.
- Open arms.

- There it is.
- Yeah! Nice.

- Eli catches his ball.
Karearea moving on.

- ELI: We've sailed through the
first section. We've all got our
balls,

and now we've got this kind
of cornhole ― is that the game?
Is it called cornhole?

Sack― Sack gap?
(CHUCKLES) What is that game called?
It's not sack gap. It's something.

You know, it's the classic where
you've gotta get the ball in the
hole.

- BREE: Oh, Steve!

Oh, look at him ―
reflexes like a stray cat!

- Tohora moving on.
Both teams neck and neck.

- All good, all good. We'll get
there. Yeah, that's a good way.

Oh, yeah, come on. Get in.
Yeah, nice, Jords.

- Jordan gets his in, and I think,

oh no, the old captain is gonna be
the only successful player on this
team.

- Whoever gets their balls through
first moves on to the next phase.

- JORDAN: You got the right idea.

- No worries.
Learn from your mistakes. Go again.

Aargh!

Next one.

Next one.

Next one.

Oh, get left.

Left, right, short,
left, right, short. I'm nowhere
near it. I'm failing miserably.

Aargh! Come on! Get some weight.

(TENSE MUSIC)

- JAMES: Nice.

- Tohora have one ball.

We're looking for five balls
in the hole.

- NICK: Nice, Courts.
- Courtney lands her ball.
Tohora have two.

- Aargh.
- Oh, so close.

That's in! That's in. Ye―
Oh! Unlucky. Unlucky.

(CONTESTANTS SHOUT)

- James has got a ball.

Nice! Blair's got a ball.
Tohora are picking up momentum.

- I am watching Tohora just
take shot after shot after shot.

- CONTESTANTS: Yes!

- But, also, I've learned from
previous challenges this game
is not over.

- JAYDEN: Steve lands his ball!
Tohora are through!

- They've still
gotta get everything up.

- BREE: For one
of these teams, Bluebird will
be bringing the fun later on,

but right now,
this is where we see who's been
playing some social netball.

Pivot, step, pivot,
pivot, pivot, step.

- Go for it, bro. Go for it, bro.

- NICK: Nice, James!

- And who gets it on first?

Boop!

If it isn't old...

'Musty-pic'.

- JORDAN: Plenty of time.
Plenty of time. Plenty of time.

- We're trying. We're trying.
We're trying. And then...

- MIRIAMA: Yes, Turia.

- ...Turia gets it.

- That's it, Eli. Nice.
- MATT: Yes, Eli. Yes, Eli.

- I get it.

- TURIA: There you go, Gibbo.
There you go, Gibbo.

- Matt gets it.

- There it is. Ooh! So close.
- Oh, unlucky.

- NICK: Nice, Courts!

- MATT: Let's keep going. Let's keep
going. Miri, you totally got this.

- It's all you, Stevie.
It's all you, Stevie, brother.

- BLAIR: Other side.
- All you, brother. All yours.

All yours, Mr Price.

- All I can say is I hope―
his daughter Jamie plays in
the Diamonds,

is not watching this footage.

- All you, bro.

Little less. Little less.
Little less. Little less.

Fingertips. Fingertips, bro.

- Hmm.

(UPBEAT PERCUSSIVE MUSIC)

- If Steve lands this, the challenge
is over; they're taking it out.

Can Karearea catch up?

- TURIA: So close! You got it.
You got it, though. Good work.

We're still going.
You know, Miriama's still there.
She hasn't gotten hers through.

- Go, Miri. You've got it.
- It's anyone's game.

I look over, cos, I mean, I'm just
waiting for Miriama to get her ball
in.

And I look over (CHUCKLES)
at Steve Price.

And I already know
he's probably like, 'Oh man, my
daughter's gonna give me grief,'

cos his daughter plays netball
for Australia, so he's probably―

That's probably all that's running
through his head is the grief that
his daughter's gonna give him.

- Take your time, brother. No,
stay that side. Stay this side.
You are so close, bro.

- All I can think of is,
'Dad, you're embarrassing us.'

Oh no. Just get the ball in.
Just go in.

- LAURA: Lighter chuck.
Lighter chuck, Steve.
- Deep breath.

- But everyone just says, 'Stay
calm, Steve. You're all right.'

I'm going, 'Don't tell me to stay
calm! I'm not all right! I've gotta
get this in.' (LAUGHS)

I'm getting more stressed.

(SIGHS)

I'm not wanting to
knock someone else's ball off, cos
that just would be a catastrophe.

And that's where I'm at, at
the moment. There's a bit of wind;
the balls are light. Oh myGod.

- Just one more.

One more. Take your time.
- No rush.

- Nearly there.
- Nearly.

Please,

Steve.

- Fingertips, bro. You got this.
You got this, my bro.

- LAURA: Lighter chucks.
Lighter chucks, Steve.

- MATT: Let's keep going. Let's keep
going, Miri. You totally got this.
Nice and calm.

- So frustrating.

- There is a glimmer of hope. Keep
missing, big man Steve. I need you
to keep on missing,

cos we need to get
this last person through.

- All you, brother.

No wind as well. No wind.

(CHEERING)

- JAYDEN: Steve lands his ball!

Tohora take out this face-off!

- TOHORA: Ooh, aah, Tohora!
Ooh, aah, Tohora!

- Hard luck.

Hard luck.
- That was tough.

- Pati a, pati a,

lua pati, lua pati,

lua pati ma le Tohora!

- Tohora! Chee-hoo!

- I feel great.
It was almost too easy, though.
The other team hadn't even started―

Yeah, I feel a bit bad.
I feel like...

shit.

Are we unstoppable?

To be continued.

- Congratulations, Tohora.
Back-to-back wins for you guys.

I will have that Bluebird boredom
buster delivered to your camp ASAP.

- Karearea, unfortunate result,
but how did it feel to work as a
team for the first time together?

- Good fun.
- Awesome.

- Everyone takes it really hard.
You know?

I'm sad about the chips, definitely,
but I can see that there hasn't been
morale-boosting in Karearea,

and I can feel it.

- All right, James, as kaihautu of
the winning team, you have a huge
decision to make.

- Jayden will see you shortly to
find out who will battle it out
to stay in this game.

- We go back with the 'L'.

And Tohora goes back with chips.

- TOHORA: Ooh, aah, Tohora.
Ooh, aah, Tohora.

(EXCLAIMING)

- Love me some chips. We haven't
had any of those sorts of chips
since we've been here.

And all I'm thinking ― is my sour
cream and chives there? Cos that
will hit the spot.

- Oh dang, it tastes good.

- Just the ability to be able to
have a snack instead of having to
spend, like,

40 minutes to an hour preparing
a meal, like, three times a day.

- Guys, I reckon we make sammies.
- Mmm!

- BLAIR: Let's make sammies.
- STEVE: With what? What sammies?

- Chips on bread.
- Really?

- Have you not had them?
- No.
- Steve! Steve!

- I lived in New Zealand
for 13 years, right? I don't
remember having a chip buttie.

Is there a way to eat it?
- Wrap it around, and get into it.
- CHUCKLES: Ooh.

- Get that crunch.
- I'm so excited to watch Steve
Price eat his first chip sandwich.

- Kia ora.

Mmm.
(LAUGHTER)

This could be my new snack.
(LAUGHTER)

Oh my God. This is going to be
something that I am definitely
going home with.

Where have you been all my life?

- JAMES: 'Everything is great.

We're dippin'. We're dunkin'.

And then all of a sudden...

- James...

- ...the question gets asked ―
what am I thinking for elimination?

- Who would you prefer to put up?

- The vibe just shifts.

It's like asking a group of friends ―
who would you most like me to murder
in cold blood?

I am tempted to try and get Jordan
out, I must say, cos he is so strong.

I've gotta start getting out these
strong players. I need to get out
the Jordans, the Nicks,

the Miriamas.

And I need to be honest about it.
I can't be trying to hide that.

So I just say it.

I'm feeling like we've kinda gotta
get rid of some of the big, strong
players.

- OK. James is most
probably gonna choose me.

- Nick has gone from being
the nicest guy ever to...

the saddest guy ever.

His smile has gone,

and it sucks.

It's not easy.
Frankly, it is very hard. (CHUCKLES)

This conversation is uncomfortable.

But I'm sure if you add cricket sound
effects in, it will be even better.

(CRICKETS CHIRP)

- I got the mercy card, and I held
on to it knowing that it could be

utilised later on in the track,
probably, when we get to this
sort of― this moment.

- ELI: First time packing, Jords.
- Yeah, brother. Gets you in the
zone. A little bit of nerves.

And Eli, my brother, and my alliance
and now my captain, he has that
card, so heading into elimination,

if worst comes to worst and I
do get called up, he's said to
me that he'll use it.

Always got your back, my bro.

- Yeah, man.
- For life.

- NICK: Ooh,
there's jungle gyms, bro.
- JAMES: Yeah.

I feel nervous. I feel very stressed
about the decision I have to make.

But also I kinda love the power,
so...

pros and cons.

- Welcome to elimination.

Let's find out who's going up.
James, come on up.

- Shot, James.
- Yeah, James.

- James, who are you
putting up from Karearea?

- I'm gonna put up Jordan.

- Feeling like, yeah, like
they're wanting to get rid of me.

But I knew that we
had the mercy card.

- Jordan is just so strong. He's a
decathlon champion ― or something
like that; I don't know.

I mean, decathlon is 10 different
things he's good at. I can't even
name bloody one thing I'mgood at.

- And from your own team?
- (SIGHS)

I think Nick's the best for
this one. You'll smash it, mate.

(APPLAUSE)

- Yesterday, you were
fighting alongside Jordan.

Today, you're fighting against
him for your spot in this game.
How are you feeling?

- I'm up for it, eh. Some things are
written, and, uh... go way back with
Jordie.

In some ways, I dreamed of
this moment, so... it's here.
Let's do it.

- Awesome.

- Love the brother, Nick.

Seems fitting that in an
elimination, he's who I
know the most,

so I think we both look at each
other, and it was like, this is
right.

- Right, this elimination battle
is a test of endurance.

You'll both start inside the frame
with your feet on the footholds on
either side of the frame,

holding the ropes above.

After five minutes, you'll move
your feet to the footholds below.

You must have both hands on the
ropes at all times. Last person
standing wins. Simple as that.

Nick, Jordan,

take your marks.
(APPLAUSE)

- Jordan,
remind us who you're playing for.

- I'm playing for Youthline, an
amazing charity organisation that
helps the youth of this country.

There is a place where they can
talk, and they can help them in
their times of need.

- Awesome, brother.

And, Nick, who are you playing for?

- Buttabean Motivation helps
young people and families
all over the country

take charge of their life
through health and fitness.

- They are both beautiful charities.
Play hard for them, all right?

- Kia ora.
- Kia ora.

- Kia reri?

Timata.

Both men have to position themselves
on the top footholds, then they're up
there for five minutes.

If at any point your hand
comes off the rope, you're out.

Battle of endurance.

Battle of the mind.

Willpower.

- So good. Hope you guys packed
your sleeping bags. (CHUCKLES)

- Both men looking good early on.

Five minutes is up. We need you
to reposition yourself down to
the next rung.

You cannot take
your hands off those ropes.

- Nice, Jordie. So solid.

- Both men have settled in.
Your five minutes begins now.

Gonna be out here
as long as it takes.

- My hand's already starting to go
numb. This could be a tough day at
the office.

- Every time I look over,
he's in this real calm state
that I've always seen him in.

- All right, five minutes is up.
You're gonna move down to your
last rung,

and that's where you will remain
for the rest of this challenge.

- This is an incredible display
of mental, physical strength.

They've now been up there
for 25 minutes.

- I'm honestly just like,
hurry up, hurry up, hurry up.

And then, you know, half an hour
passes, and I'm like, oh, Turia,
this is quite intense.

- All right, you've both been
up there for 35 minutes now.

40 minutes.

50 minutes now.

All right, guys,
you've been out here for one hour.
(APPLAUSE)

- Nice, lads.

- JORDAN: Honestly,
the time just starts to mount up.

You're glad you got there, but
you're also like, this is going
on for ages.

And the time does start to tick up,
and the pain starts to build up at
the same time as well.

- There's moments I don't feel my
feet. Like, the pain is just numb.

- Nick with a wobble.

He's trying to find
somewhere that doesn't hurt.

Been out here for an hour 45.
How much longer you got?

- (EXHALES DEEPLY)

I'm almost giving up.

(BUZZING)

And this bumble bee turns up.

My wife and I have had a few
really strong moments in our past

where things have shown up
to remind us that God is with us,

and this might sound weird,
but in the past, it's been a bee.

A bee sort of shows up
at the right time.

(INHALES DEEPLY, EXHALES)

And, uh...

something clicks in,

and I just go to this place.

- Both men looking very focused,
very still.

One hour 55 minutes.

(APPLAUSE)
It's truly incredible to watch.

- MATT: Doing Quincy proud, brother.

- JORDAN: I'm thinking
of my baby girl, Quincy ―

literally envisioning her
just, like, running around
in the middle of the arena.

So I just run stuff like that in my
head while I'm trying to just stay
as stable as I can.

- Right, boys, two hours 10 minutes.
Great work.

- Nice, Nicko.

Here we go, mate.

In that place.

Drop the anchor.

There we go.

(TENSE MUSIC)

(MUSIC BUILDS)

- My brother.
- Mm.

- Nice job, my bro.

I'm out.

- Just like that, Jordan steps down.

Nick safe from elimination.

- Amazing, boys.

- Incredible performance both of you.
- Amazing.

Amazing, boys.

- When you're seen as the strong
guy, you wanna live up to that.

And I've said this before ― there
that thing in you that sometimes
tries to self-sabotage.

And I didn't have any room for that,
cos I knew who I was up against.

(APPLAUSE)

And I knew if I have
one inch of doubt,

this guy who is incredibly...

strong in his mind and his spirit,
he'll take me out.

- Jordan, you've fought hard
in this game from day one.

You've been a great captain
for your team.

- Wait a second, Jayden.

I'm holding the mercy card.

Jordan earned this for our team.

After that,
there's no way he's going home.

- Can you read that out for us, Eli?

- READS: 'This card gives
its holder the power to save
a player from elimination,

'and must be used before the
eliminated player leaves the arena.'

I'm using it now.

- It is really amazing to stand
there and see Eli come through with
what he's saying he wasgonna do

and pretty emotional
about doing it as well.

- I've played my trump card.
I feel like I've made my move.

I feel like it's, like, credits
roll; that's the end of the episode.

What a shocking twist. Fun, fun, fun
for the whole family. And then...

- Wait a second, Jayden.

- We've― No, the episode's done.
(CHUCKLES)

We're finished.

- Shortland Street guy stands up.

- It gives me no pleasure
to do this...

- And I thought everyone's
emotions were...

Now it's like...
(IMITATES WHOOSHING)

(TENSE MUSIC BUILDS)

- And I drop the bomb.

- Boom!

- 'Tomorrow night ―'

Wow.

OK, let me... just get this straight.

'you're just gonna have
to watch and find out.'

- Sorry!
